Chapter 45 Discussion on Conspiracy and Planning
Now there is a difficult problem in front of Gu An, how can he resolve this crisis?
Nantang and Yan Guo are suspected of forming an alliance, and this news is not conducive to his visit to Jingcheng and his relatives this time.
For the state of Chu, it is very likely that it will happen to kill the mistake rather than let it go.
Therefore, Gu An had to think about how to deal with this matter. The safety of the fourth princess, the safety of Mu Wanqin, and the safety of everyone who came with him this time are all issues he has to consider.
First of all, he knew one thing very clearly, that is, the purpose of Yan Guo's alliance with Southern Tang this time must be to target him, this is the conclusion he came to from his own analysis, and he also got a hint from his father Gu Lun.
Gu An secretly said in his heart: "This Yan Kingdom is really not giving up, one or two assassinations are unsuccessful, and now I will come to Yangmou, so I have to give in!" β
Yan Guo asked Gu An to retreat in the face of difficulties, and let him take the initiative to withdraw.
Gu An immediately shook his head: "However, you still underestimate the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also underestimate me!" β
Whoever could think of such a scheme, he guessed that it might be from Murong Sheng's hand.
This old fox is really haunted, and he is everywhere there.
Gu An is naturally not the kind of person who retreats when encountering difficulties, nor is he a person who gives up easily.
And the problem given to him by this Yan Guoren stimulated his fighting spirit.
The young man is strong in blood, and he has a simplicity and courage that is not afraid of heaven and earth.
This is not an opportunity and a challenge for him.
Life is full of battlefields, and he naturally moves forward bravely.
Gu An thought of this, and ordered outside the tent: "Someone!" Go and invite Lord Wei Jingxuan Wei to come. β
His own soldiers went to speak for him.
Not long after, Wei Jingxuan took Han Fu to Gu An's barracks.
Wei Jingxuan said to Gu An: "The general came to me for the sake of Yongcheng!" β
Gu An nodded in acknowledgement.
He didn't wonder why Wei Jingxuan knew about this.
After all, the three kingdoms have been hostile to each other for a long time, and I don't know how many spies have been planted in other countries, these are secret but well-known things.
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile: "Haha, didn't General Gu know that a catastrophe was coming. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with this time! β
Gu An was not annoyed, but asked, "I don't know if Mr. has a good plan to teach me!" β
Gu An actually had a general idea in his heart, but he still felt that he was not mature enough, so he wanted to ask Wei Jingxuan for advice.
Wei Jingxuan said calmly: "Why should the general be bothered, this matter is easy!" β
After he heard his apprentice say this, he also thought about it for a long time in his barracks, and he also had a few plans.
He also intended to discuss this matter with Gu An, but he didn't expect Gu An to send someone to invite him.
Wei Jingxuan continued: "I also just learned about this matter, and it was my disciple Han Fu who came to tell me in person. β
Then he pointed to Han Fu and introduced: "This is my disciple Han Fu, who just came from Yongcheng. The general may wish to listen to him. β
Han Fu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Gu An and said, "Ziyu meets the general!" β
Gu An looked at Han Fu, but he was a young talent, so he said, "Master Han doesn't have to be polite!" You still need a lot of advice from Han Gongzi! β
Han Fu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's just some of my own observations and vulgar remarks." Please forgive me for any shortcomings! β
Gu An smiled and said, "This is natural, Han Gongzi, please!" β
Han Fu said: "This time I was in Yongcheng, but I met the envoy of Yan Kingdom. I rarely heard of the alliance, and it was thought that the Southern Tang Dynasty court deliberately weakened its influence, just to prevent the Yan State from succeeding. And when I came back, I also encountered several waves of people chasing a person, and this person was the general's fiancΓ©e, Miss Mu Wanqin. β
Han Fu said that he glanced at Gu An here, and saw that his expression was calm as usual, and he also understood that he might already know about it.
Then he spoke again: "I heard that this Miss Mu Wanqin has been missing for many days, and the people who are currently looking for her whereabouts are not only the Gu family and the Mu family, but also one of them is from the Yan Kingdom. β
Gu An was a little angry when he heard this, but he still kept calm on his face and said, "Well, Yan Guoren? What does this have to do with them. β
Wei Jingxuan said at this time: "Haha, didn't the general ask knowingly!" β
Gu An said with some disdain: "Hmph, their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to use my fiancΓ©e to blackmail me!" β
Han Fu nodded: "That's right!" They just wanted to capture Miss Mu to blackmail the general. Therefore, it can be seen that the purpose of their friendship this time is not pure, but a move to harbor evil intentions. β
Wei Jingxuan also nodded in agreement.
Gu An asked, "It's just like that, what's the use for us at the moment?" β
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile: "The general doesn't know that Yan State has been harmful to Chu State for a long time, as long as we make a big deal about this matter, saying that Yan State wants to form an alliance with Southern Tang in order to deal with Chu State, but Southern Tang refuses." And Yan Guo is ready to capture the general's fiancΓ©e to threaten you, they are just to destroy this peace. β
Han Fu also said: "What the teacher said is that as long as we are upright and have no weak hearts, then we can fight against Yan Guo." β
Wei Jingxuan said: "Moreover, we can contact some ministers in Jingcheng and ask them to build momentum for us." I will also write to Your Majesty to inform you of the circumstances of this matter. In this way, Yan Guo's plan was self-defeating. And adults can save the day! β
Gu An listened to the analysis of the two, and combined with his own ideas, he already had a clear plan in his mind: "Well, what Lord Wei and Han Gongzi said is reasonable. Then we'll do it! β
Gu An was a little glad in his heart, Wei Jingxuan did not suspect him because of this matter, but still stood by him, so that many of his plans could be carried out smoothly.
The three of them discussed the plan in detail.
Han Fu said to Gu An: "I heard that Mu Shaobai and Mu Gongzi are in the general's barracks, Han has always wanted to visit, but he didn't have the opportunity, I don't know if the general can introduce me!" β
Gu Anzhong also sighed, his fiancΓ©e is really famous.
So he said, "It's easy! After a while, I will ask Brother Shaobai to come and give his opinion on this matter. β
Han Fu's mood suddenly became excited, and he thanked Gu An: "That's great! Thank you, General. β
Gu An waved his hand and said, "Han Gongzi is polite, just raise your hands!" β
After a while, Mu Wanqin entered Gu An's barracks.
Seeing that Wei Jingxuan and a young man were also here, I couldn't help but wonder.
Mu Wanqin asked, "General, what are you looking for me?" β
Gu An smiled and said, "Brother Shaobai, come, let me introduce you to this Han Gongzi, he has admired you for a long time." β
Han Fu looked very happy after seeing "Mu Shaobai", and introduced himself excitedly: "In Xia Han Fu, Ziyu, I have met Mu Gongzi." β
Mu Wanqin returned the salute and said, "Han Gongzi is polite! β
Wei Jingxuan also said with a smile on the side: "Haha, my disciple admires Mu Gongzi very much, and I went to Yongcheng to visit you this time, but I didn't find you." He didn't know that Gongzi had already followed General Gu to the Chu State! β
Mu Wanqin was also a little apologetic: "Thank you Han Gongzi for your love, but Gongzi has a heart!" β
Han Fu said: "I have heard the poems of the prince before, and I admire the talent of Brother Shaobai very much, so I want to make friends. I love poetry and poetry, so I like to make friends in this area! β
Mu Wanqin was a little embarrassed by this, she really felt that she was not that material.
However, when others come to visit him, he can't be disappointed, so he nods yes.
Han Fu talked to Mu Wanqin about a lot of literary things, and Mu Wanqin also gave her own opinions one by one.
Although she is not a great writer, the cultural heritage of thousands of years in China has given her confidence, so that she has unique insights into the questions raised by Han Fu.
This made Han Fu admire it even more, and it also made Wei Jingxuan and Gu An on the side look sideways again and again.
They all admired Mu Wanqin's literary accomplishment.
Later, Mu Wanqin also joined their discussion.
For Yan Guo's conspiracy, she also learned about it from the conversation of several people just now, so she was also frightened, if this was not handled well, it would be a catastrophe for them.
Mu Wanqin also expressed her opinion after thinking about it for a long time.
Several people also listened attentively.
After the countermeasures were determined, Wei Jingxuan took Han Fu and left Gu An's barracks.
When he got out of the barracks, Han Fu looked at his teacher Wei Jingxuan with a little bit of a speechless look.
Wei Jingxuan naturally understood the confusion in his heart, so he said, "Ziyu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask!" β
Han Fu asked, "Teacher, I don't understand, why do you want to help this Gu An so much?" β
Wei Jingxuan sighed: "This matter is also a last resort, I pin my hopes on this Gu Jiang's son, I only hope that I can get a glimmer of life for the Chu State in the future!" β
Han Fu still didn't understand: "But why is it him?" As the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, General Xiang Chu of my Chu State can also be a good choice! β
Wei Jingxuan said disdainfully: "Xiang Chu? There are only brave and unscrupulous horsemen, how can they achieve great things! β
Han Fu said unrelentingly: "That prince Xiang Jue is not bad!" β
Wei Jingxuan shook his head: "You have not been in the Chu State for a long time, I am afraid that you don't know much about our crown prince!" Although he has some talents, he is weak and incompetent, and he has been greedy for pleasure all these years, and he has been entrusted to no one. β
Wei Jingxuan was already heartbroken by the royal family of Chu State, Chu Emperor Xiang Ming was mediocre, the crown prince was weak and incompetent, and the ministers only knew that flattery and flattery were definitely not good things for Chu State.
And he also knew that it was not a know-it-all move to put the future of the Chu State in the hands of Gu An, an outsider, but he had no choice.
If you don't do this, I am afraid that the state of Chu will suffer heavy losses in the future, and the people will suffer greatly.
It was only for the sake of the thousands of people in the Chu State that he formed an alliance with Gu An.
And this incident can just send Gu An a big favor, which is a charcoal in the snow.
Han Fu heard the helplessness and bitterness in his teacher's words.
So he comforted: "The teacher has worked hard for the Chu State all his life, and he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, so why bother." As long as we have a clear conscience! β
Wei Jingxuan laughed: "Haha, what a clear conscience!" I don't have your open-mindedness! β
