Chapter 559 Killing three birds with one stone
But after being happy for a while, Shuiyue was the first to calm down.
Pouring Zuo Wangfeng a glass of wine, she said doubtfully, "General, I can't understand something."
"What's the matter?" Zuo Wangfeng asked.
“I have been with the Crown Prince since I was a child. I know his way of doing things very well. Creating such a tragedy and framing Gu Chan as the blame is not something he can do. " Shuiyue said solemnly.
Due to her understanding of the prince, she simply did not believe that the tragedy of annihilation of the family in the Yushi Mansion could be something that the prince could do.
Zuo Wangfeng frowned and said, "The day before yesterday, I took people to Yizhuang to check the corpses in person. The stab wounds on their bodies were all caused by the secret guards trained by the prince, so I am very worried For sure, this is the prince helping us secretly."
“But...”
“Okay, stop talking about this matter. You just need to know that people will always change. Ever since the prince forced the second prince to death, he has He is no longer the prince he was before." Zuo Wangfeng waved his hand to interrupt Shui Yue.
When Shuiyue reached her mouth, she had no choice but to swallow it back into her stomach.
Zuo Wangfeng turned to ask, "By the way, how are the preparations these days?"
"Don't worry, General, I have made arrangements according to your instructions. I will just wait for the time limit for the offensive and defensive battles to arrive. , I will lead all the soldiers on the Tiancang River to start the first wave of attacks," Shuiyue said confidently.
"That's good, don't take it lightly. Although Gu Chan is at a disadvantage right now, that kid is not an ordinary person. He has a lot of clever ideas. You can't keep track of them." Zuo Wangfeng reminded.
Shui Yue nodded affirmatively, keeping his words in mind.
After all, she had suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Chan before, so she didn't dare to be too big this time.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Shuiyue got up and left, going back to his tent to rest.
And time passed quickly, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The night before the offensive and defensive battle of the military exercise began, Gu Chan came out of the small courtyard behind the patrol yamen.
When he came to sit down in the front lobby, Gu Chan stared at Xu Ziguang standing in front of him and asked, "How are you? I have been checking for almost half a month. Have you found any useful information?"
"Lord, please forgive me for my incompetence. I can't find anything." Xu Ziguang lowered his head and said with a guilty conscience.
Gu Chan immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time Yan Kuan, wearing a battle armor, walked in from the gate.
Stop in front of Gu Chan, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Lord, I have prepared twenty warships according to your instructions and parked them at Chang's Wharf. Five warships have been prepared on each warship. 100 cannons and 100 soldiers, a total of 100 cannons and 2,000 men, awaiting orders from the lord. "< br>
"Okay, you go immediately and lead the warships to attack. Move twenty warships along the river bank and dock at the junction of Tiancang River and Jiangnan River. Tomorrow, only Zuo Wangfeng's people dare to attack from the waterway. , just hit me if you show up, and sink all their warships." Gu Chan waved his hand and ordered.
“Yes, Lord.” Yan Kuan responded respectfully. Xu Ziguang stood aside and muttered, "What if the first wave of attacks tomorrow does not attack the water route but the land route?"
"Lord, Mr. Xu is right. I am also worried about this problem now." Yan Kuan quickly added.
Gu Chan said with a bad smile, "You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, you will guard the waterway tomorrow, and Xu Ziguang will be responsible for guarding Jiangnan City. As for the land attack, I have my own way to deal with it."
Xu Ziguang and Yan Kuan looked at each other, with worries on their faces.
During this period, they have been following Gu Chan's orders to make preparations on their own side. As for the land route, they have no idea how Gu Chan prepared it.
In addition, Gu Chan has now been isolated by everyone in the Second Prince's Party. Once an offensive and defensive battle breaks out, these people will definitely not come to help her.
So now their hearts are hanging on their chests, fearing that Gu Chan will be defeated, and they will not be able to reap the consequences.
Gu Chan didn't care that there were so many of them, she just waved and said, "General Yan, go quickly! Don't stand here, I still have something to say to Mr. Xu alone."
"Yes, Lord." Yan Kuan agreed, turned around and left helplessly.
After he left, Gu Chancai stared at Xu Ziguang and said, "Master Xu, you were playing tricks on me just now, weren't you?"
"Lord, what are you talking about? How dare I?" Xu Ziguang said with a pale face.
"Then it's only been half a month, how dare you say that you haven't found any clues about the massacre of the Yushi Mansion?" Gu Chan shouted angrily.
Xu Ziguang was so frightened that his knees weakened and he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, I have found it, but I dare not say anything! This matter is of great importance, how can I dare to talk nonsense."
"Then if you don't tell me, are you planning to let me take the blame?" Gu Chan asked coldly.
“The stab wounds on the servants of the Yushi Mansion all came from the long knives in the hands of the secret guards under the Crown Prince. From this, we can conclude that the dozen or so people sent by the Crown Prince to protect Yanli Doesn't this directly prove that the murder of the Imperial Palace was ordered by the Crown Prince? Do I still dare to announce this news to the public?" Xu Ziguang said, while wiping the blood on his forehead. Bean sweats profusely.
When he arrested Gu Chan before, he thought that this matter might really have something to do with Gu Chan. But as the investigation deepened, he discovered that all the fingers pointed at the current crown prince.
So until now, he has been tight-lipped and did not dare to leak the news easily to the outside world, otherwise it would affect the prince of a country, and even if he had tens of thousands of heads, it would not be enough to chop him off.
Gu Chan rolled his eyes and said slyly, "In this way, this news will not be disclosed to the outside world. You will write it into a secret letter and send it to everyone in the Second Prince's Party one by one to tell them the truth about the massacre. The truth is to give me an explanation.”
“How can we give an explanation to all the people in Jiangnan?” Xu Ziguang asked.
"You will issue a notice tomorrow and say that Mr. Yan's family was assassinated by assassins from the enemy country. This massacre was committed by assassins from the enemy country. Their purpose is to suppress me and expand the conflict between me and the prince. It's a good opportunity to reap the benefits," Gu Chan said shrewdly.
Xu Ziguang immediately looked up at her, his face full of admiration. He couldn't help but praise, "You are worthy of being a lord! This trick is really wonderful. It not only conceals this fact, but also does not confront the Crown Prince head-on." , got himself off the hook again, and transferred the old man The attention of the people is really killing three birds with one stone!"
"Get out of here! Stop flattering me here. It's not that you are useless. You have to be smarter and you don't need me to waste so much. Can you think of these reasons?" Gu Chan cursed angrily.
Xu Ziguang smiled awkwardly and lowered his head in shame, but at this time he really admired Gu Chan from the bottom of his heart and began to be convinced of her.
