Timur is a hero of a generation and can tolerate it very much when he should. For example, after Lao Zhu defeated the Mongol Yuan, he immediately surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and gave him tribute to dispel the Ming Dynasty's vigilance, because he knew that with his strength at that time, he was definitely not a match for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Lao Zhu may know Timur's thoughts, but he was too far from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty drove away the Mongolian Yuan and the entire Central Plains were ruined. Lao Zhu focused all his energy on the recovery of the country and had no energy to pay attention to the affairs of the Western Regions. This also allowed Timur to take the opportunity to defeat all powerful enemies and become the overlord of Central and West Asia.

Now that Old Zhu is dead, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Yunsheng, which also gave Timur a chance, so he suddenly turned against him and even seized the Ming Dynasty's mission, preparing to do all his strength to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yunyu and Li Jie were angry about the detention of the mission, they had no choice. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei in the mission escaped and then promptly sent the news back to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, when the Timur soldiers approached, the Ming Dynasty might not be ready.

Zhu Yunyu and Li Jie and others are not concerned about the safety of the delegation. After all, in the moment of survival of such a country, personal life is actually not very important. Now the most important thing for them is to win this battle. Only in this way can they force Timur to release the delegation's people with the momentum of victory.

However, Zhu Yunyu was still undecided about the candidate for the army. He wanted to use Lan Yu but was worried that he was more capable than the master. He wanted to use Fu Youde, but he was worried that he would be too old and would be surprised, so this made Zhu Yunyu very conflicted.

Li Jie couldn't help Zhu Yunxiu's decision. After all, except for Zhu Yunxiu himself, no one could help him in this kind of military and national affairs, so he finally expressed his opinion and then left. Anyway, he said everything he should say, and Zhu Yunxiu needs to be given some time to consider it next.

In fact, from Li Jie's original intention, he hoped that Zhu Yunxiu would re-activate Lan Yu. After all, this war was different from the past. If the Ming Dynasty was defeated, it would not only cause the Ming Dynasty to lose a large area of ​​territory in the northwest, but also completely lose the plan to advance to the Western Regions. Therefore, this war can only be won but not defeated.

In this case, it is obvious that Lan Yu is more confident in leading the troops. After all, with Lan Yu's ability and fighting at the home court of the Ming Dynasty, it can at least ensure that it will not lose, and may even win a big victory. At that time, it will be a big victory to enter the Western Regions, and the Ming Dynasty can extend its influence to the Western Regions and even directly contact Western countries.

But unfortunately, Li Jie was not Zhu Yunyu, nor was he the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he could only suggest and not make decisions for Zhu Yunyu. In fact, as the emperor, Zhu Yunyu had too many things to consider when making decisions, which was completely different from ordinary people, so sometimes the decisions he might make were outrageous, but it was very reasonable to stand in the position of the emperor.

Li Jie returned home and rested for a night. The next morning, he was also preparing to enter the palace again. After all, Zhu Yunyu had not made a decision yet, but Timur would not wait for them all the time, so the candidates for the troops should still make a decision as soon as possible.

However, just when Li Jie was about to set off, he didn't expect Zhu Di to come suddenly, which surprised him. After all, they had just returned to the capital yesterday. Zhu Di was also very busy now. After all, he signed a contract with Zhu Yunyu, so he should go back and prepare for it even if he calculated the time.

"Uncle Fourth, why are you here? Is there anything you need to tell me?" When Li Jie saw Zhu Di in the living room, he immediately smiled and bowed.

Zhu Di looked serious at this time, and when he saw Li Jie, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Timur in the west is going to attack our Ming Dynasty?"

"How do you know, Uncle Fourth?" Li Jie was also shocked when he heard this. After all, this matter should be a secret. In addition to Zhu Yunsheng and himself, only a few important officials knew about it.

"Don't worry, how did I know, is this true?" Zhu Di waved his hand and asked again.

"It's true. Timur seized our mission and mobilized a large army to prepare for the Eastern Expedition, claiming to be an army of 800,000. Even if there is a lot of water, it is still possible for a army of 400,000 to 500,000." Li Jie hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a serious expression.

It seems that Zhu Di should have some spies in the court, so he knows about this, but there is nothing to hide. After all, Timur's army may arrive at any time, and the Ming Dynasty must also dispatch troops to prepare, so news will definitely be heard by then.

"How does the imperial court plan to deal with it? It is definitely not enough to rely on the garrison in the northwest alone. It is necessary to send out the imperial guards in the capital to support it. This candidate for the army may also make Your Majesty very embarrassed!" Zhu Di analyzed the current situation clearly in a few words. After all, he knew the current situation of the Ming Dynasty more than anyone else.

"That's true. Your Majesty is considering whether to let General Lan lead the troops or let General Fu lead the troops?" Li Zhitou admitted.

"Hehe, Lan Yu's skills are great. If I were Your Majesty, I would definitely not want him to lead the troops again. As for Fu Youde, he is indeed more suitable than Lan Yu. Unfortunately, he is too old and has not been in good health in the past two years. If something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhu Di also grinned when he heard this. Faced with such a problem, Zhu Yunyu must have a headache.

"Yes, the younger generation of generals is not bad, but for such an important war, the risk of using young generals is too great. Your Majesty will definitely not be at ease, so it is better to use veterans." Li Jie said helplessly.

"Who do you think is more suitable to lead the troops?" Zhu Di suddenly asked Li Jie.

"This..." Li Jie hesitated for a moment, and finally replied, "If it is my personal opinion, I think it is safer to use General Lan, but His Majesty seems to be more inclined to General Fu."

"That's for sure. You are not Your Majesty, so you will definitely not have as many concerns as him." Zhu Di shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and then said to Li Jie, "Let's go, let's see Your Majesty together!"

"Uncle Fourth, what are you going to see Your Majesty? Do you have a more suitable candidate?" Li Jie asked with confusion when he heard Zhu Di's words. In theory, even if Timur came over, it was not Zhu Di's business. After all, he had left the Ming Dynasty. But now, looking at Zhu Di's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to get involved in this matter.

What Li Jie didn't expect was that when Zhu Di heard his words, he smiled mysteriously and said, "I do have a more suitable candidate. You will know when you see Your Majesty!"
