"With Lord Gu's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to divide one side, and it can even go one step further and capture Jiaozhou, it's not impossible."

"But what I saw and saw along the way made Su feel that Master Gu was indeed a loyal minister loyal to Da Liang, but this kind of loyalty should be more of Da Liang at his peak."

"Like the great cool that is now in the waning West Mountain, there is a great tendency to be lonely, Lord Gu is afraid that he will judge the situation and make another plan."

Gu Hua's rhetorical question, Su Qi'an did not hide it, but spoke bluntly.

Just based on the advice Gu Hua gave him just now, leaving him to talk, it has already shown that Gu Hua is a little honest with him.

Of course, this kind of honesty still has to be built on having equal strength.

If Su Qi'an was just a marquis and occupied a county, Gu Hua would probably only be polite on the surface.

But now Su Qi'an defeated Li Kang and became the actual ruler of Jiaozhou, pacified the civil strife in Jiaozhou, and held soldiers and horses with good combat power in his hands.

and some senior state pastors, naturally not comparable, but it seems to be an emerging force.

Such a person, after consideration, Gu Hua chose to show favor and make friends.

And then what Gu Hua said to Su Qi'an, just laughed, which confirmed Su Qi'an's judgment.

This invitation, in addition to being entrusted by the six princes, in fact, Gu Hua still wanted to make friends with Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an's straightforwardness made Gu Hua feel a little relieved, only this kind of honesty shows that Su Qi'an is not hiding, but talking heart-to-heart.

If Su Qi'an was polite as before, it would make Gu Hua suspicious.

"If that happens, what do you think the state will do?" Gu Hua, who had laughed for a while, continued to ask.

"This matter, Su is not clear, everything can only be chosen by Lord Gu himself, but what Su can be sure of is that no matter what choice he makes, Lord Gu will definitely take the preservation of the people of Nanzhou as the premise."

Su Qi'an's words made Gu Hua's impenetrable gaze a little surprised.

He has served as a pastor in Nanzhou for many years, and his ancestors have served as local officials in Nanzhou for three generations.

It can be said that the largest local family in Nanzhou is precisely Gu Hua's Gu family.

Originally, the ancestor was quite loyal to the Daliang royal family, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was guarding the south gate of Daliang for the Suliang royal family.

It is precisely because of this background that Gu Hua became a pastor in Nanzhou, which is almost a matter of course.

Nanzhou has been run by the Gu family for so many years, and it can be said that it basically fell into the hands of Gu Hua.

As long as Gu Hua is willing, it is not impossible to divide Nanzhou, invade Jiao and Yuezhou, and unify the southern border of Daliang.

This idea, even outsiders, will have some speculation, Jiaozhou Mu Li Kang, the sixth prince of Yuezhou, had been in contact with Su Qi'an in private before he came into the future.

They all hope that Gu Hua can more or less stand on their side and give some support.

This kind of co-optation is actually afraid that Gu Hua will divide one side, or see the wind and rudder, and if any war breaks out in the south, Gu Hua will take advantage of the fisherman.

Therefore, I tried to probe Gu Hua in advance, wanting to probe Gu Hua's bottom.

But what kind of person is Gu Hua, don't look like a Confucian, he looks very good at talking, but in fact he is experienced, and he is especially good at observing words and feelings.

Not only is it within the two states, but it is also trusted by His Majesty.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old fox, but the more this is the case, the more Li Kang and the six princes are more and more jealous of him.

is so cunning and sleek, doesn't it mean that Gu Hua is a very cunning person, such a person, if you want to say that you have no ambition, no one will believe it.

Almost all the *** in the three southern states think that Gu Hua is no different from some state pastors who are plotting to divide the country, but it is just that the time has not come.

But only Su Qi'an can see that Gu Hua's cunning and tactfulness are just for the sake of a better life for the people of Nanzhou, if the war breaks out one day, Nanzhou will at least have the ability to protect itself.

There is a good saying that in the muddy, some sobriety is a sin.

So this is why Su Qi'an said that he and Gu Hua are more or less the same kind of people.

Su Qi'an's seeing through made Gu Huashen somewhat exalted

The situation was complicated, he didn't say anything, nodded at Su Qi'an, quickly recovered his normal color, and continued.

"This time to be able to invite Dongshan Hou is the most right thing this state has done, here, this state has a private request, I hope Dongshan Hou can agree."

"What Master Gu wants to say is Xie Cang."

Su Qi'an's words were broken, and to Gu Hua's surprise, he nodded and said, "That's right, Dongshan Hou should be able to see that Xie Cang is a good hand at fighting, but in politics, he is much worse."

"Now that he has achieved a rank with his military exploits, he has changed it, but Benshu doesn't want to see him get involved in the battle between princes in the future."

"At the beginning, the teacher, after the battle of Ningzhou, saw this, so he secretly arranged to transfer him to the south."

"I wanted to train well, but now it seems that it doesn't have much effect, Xie Cang is a famous family, and he is the teacher's righteous son, and he is loyal to the court, which is within his bounds."

"But now Your Majesty has not established a prince for a long time, watching several princes under his command compete for power and profit, and reach a certain balance, but this balance will not last long, the cold day is thin, I really don't want to see that one day Xie Cang will become a pawn in the prince's battle, and eventually die."

Gu Hua's words are really not alarmist, as early as after Su Qi'an saw the three princes in the imperial city of Kyoto, looking at the atmosphere of the court, he had already noticed that something was wrong.

The second prince and the fourth prince basically controlled the court, each secretly won the hearts of the people, and the two sides fought fiercely, but His Majesty let it go, if it wasn't for the defense of Kyoto that broke out at that time, it would have been somewhat alleviated.

I'm afraid that the fight between the two princes will be even more fierce, and this kind of struggle for imperial power is very terrifying.

Even if you don't want to take sides, as long as you stay in Kyoto for a day, you will be forced to take sides, and you will be drawn into the whirlpool of this political struggle.

If you are not careful, you will be doomed, so Su Qi'an took advantage of Zheng Guogong's impeachment of him to directly make a big fuss, and finally exchanged for the opportunity to escape from Kyoto.

It can be said that staying in Kyoto before you have the strength is not much different from waiting for death.

At the beginning, the Duke of Chu was still in power, he was the chief assistant of the court, and he could protect Xie Cang, but now the Duke of Chu has already been in office half a year ago, and he is ready to return to his hometown.

And now the Zai Fu of the imperial court, it is not surprising that it is Zheng Guogong Zheng Yuan.

Su Qi'an is okay, now that he has Jiaozhou in his hands and soldiers in his hands, Zheng Yuan wants to move him at present, but it is still very troublesome.

And what is the situation of Su Qi'an in the south now, where will the imperial court know, and when he knows, it will also be the time for him to return to Xizhou and have an explanation with Tang Feng.

At that time, it was nothing more than two results, Su Qi'an killed Tang Feng, his strength became stronger and stronger, and it was even more impossible for Zheng Yuan to move him, as for the other result, he was killed by Tang Feng, which happened to follow Zheng Yuan's wishes.

And Xie Cang is different, his name in Nanzhou has already begun, and the Split Mountain Army in his hands is also famous.

It was a matter of time before the two princes of Kyoto knew about it, and even before the two princes knew, they were favored by the six princes of Yuezhou.

Originally, the battle between the second prince and the fourth prince was cruel enough, but now that a sixth prince is inserted, Xie Cang is involved in it, and if he doesn't die, he will be abolished.

Gu Hua's worries, Su Qi'an also thought of it, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't say anything to Gu Hua.

Gu Hua's eyes flashed, his face was obviously a little different, he looked at Su Qi'an and asked, "Is this method feasible?"

"Lord Gu, it's better to be sparse than to block it, take great pains to protect Xie Cang, hide him, it's better to let him shine brightly, and it's best to let His Majesty see the best."

"Although our Da Liang has always emphasized the suppression of military force, in the face of the invasion that can be invaded at any time around us, Your Majesty still has to use military generals."

"In this situation, let Your Majesty see a military general who is only loyal to himself appear, I think it will not be easy for a few princes to win over and use Xie Cang."

"After all, the current ruler of Daliang is still the current majesty."

Su Qi'an's last sentence made Gu Hua understand a lot in an instant.

Su Qi'an is right, even if the struggle for imperial power is tense now, and several princes are making trouble, as long as the current emperor is His Majesty

, they can't afford to spend anything after all.

On the contrary, there are some things that have been done, which will make His Majesty jealous, and once he gets angry, it will be a headache.

After all, what His Majesty wants is a balanced situation, and if either side of the prince has a significant upper hand, it means that Su Xuanyong's rights have been violated and his imperial power has been challenged.

Therefore, it is inevitable that they will be suppressed.

With Xie Cang's idea of only knowing loyalty and patriotism, if His Majesty sees it, it will only be more important.

The military general His Majesty wants is one who is loyal to himself, has no thoughts, and has not had contact with other princes and magnates.

Like Deputy Commander Liu Xin, why he was able to get Su Xuanyong's attention and become the deputy commander of the forbidden army was because of his loyalty, and he didn't have any official friends in private.

Xie Cang, as long as he creates some momentum and makes some more big achievements, it will be seen by Su Xuanyong sooner or later.

Therefore, Xie Cang is afraid that there will be a period of time when he will follow Su Qi'an's side, at least until he returns to Xizhou.

Su Qi'an's idea, Gu Hua naturally agreed.

Although the Split Mountain Army will leave Nanzhou, leaving Gu Hua with one less general, it is also a good thing to let Xie Cang leave for the sake of Xie Cang's safety in the future.

And with Xie Cang's temperament, he is also suitable for the battlefield.

It happened that after sending troops to support Yuezhou this time, he returned to Xizhou with Su Qi'an to conquer Tang Feng.

What happened to Su Qi'an in Xizhou, with Gu Hua's strength, he could naturally find out.

It can be said that Gu Hua basically understands the mileage that Su Qi'an has come step by step.

Gu Hua appreciates such a talent very much, and with Xie Cang's help, Gu Hua feels at ease.

Xizhou Mu Tangfeng, Gu Hua knows that this person is much stronger than Li Kang, and it is very difficult for Su Qi'an to defeat him.

Regarding how to deal with Tang Feng on the return trip back to Xizhou in the future, Gu Hua gave Su Qi'an some useful suggestions.

The conversation between the two lasted for more than two hours, and by the time they left, it was midnight.

In this conversation, the two of them did not have any tiredness on their faces, and some just hated each other.

In terms of age, there is a lot of difference, but in terms of thought, there is a lot of resonance, which makes Su Qi'an always believe.

Even in the dying, there will always be talents, and there are like-minded people who will go the same way together.

With such a group of people, Su Qi'an does not feel lonely and is full of confidence in his heart.

This Da Liang will definitely not be defeated in their hands.
