Chapter 550 The Conspiracy of Fu Xiao and the Counselors
When Fu Xiao heard the news reported by Zhu Qu, he was not surprised at all and asked: "Have the nine sons of King Lu Yue Gongzi arrived in Lixian County?"
When Fu Xiao asked, he raised his hand to call the attendant who was waiting on the side. The attendant respectfully came forward with the tray in his hand.
"Yes, the news about Mr. Yue and the civil strife in Kuzhou came almost immediately." Zhu Qu answered with cupped hands.
"Ha, she really doesn't want to waste any time." Fu Xiao sneered, picked up a brocade handkerchief from the tray brought by the attendant, and wiped the hot sweat on his forehead and neck from practicing martial arts.
"Call Wang Gong, Qian Ting and others to the meeting hall. The Lord of Benzhou has important matters to discuss with them. Inform them of the news from Kuzhou first." Fu Xiao walked outside the martial arts training ground and ordered Zhu Daocheng.
Zhu Qu accepted the order and immediately went down to do what Fu Xiao ordered.
Fu Xiao was thinking about Emperor Lin Zhihuang's plan, so he went to the bedroom to change his clothes, and then simply took a shower and changed clothes under the service of the servants, and then went to the meeting hall.
Fu Xiao went to the meeting hall, where six or seven people were discussing the Kuzhou matter.
Six or seven people who were discussing in full swing in the hall saw Fu Xiao walking slowly into the meeting hall. They immediately stopped talking and all raised their hands to Fu Xiao and called out: "My lord!"
Fu Xiao nodded and waved his sleeves to indicate to everyone that there was no need to be polite.
"What do you think of the Kuzhou incident?"
Qian Ting was the first to come out and said: "My lord, if Xue Qing is not in the right position, he may not be able to last long."
Chang Xingde pondered: "After Lord Lin of Lixian County formed an alliance with the lord, the number of soldiers in that county increased to 30,000, and his ambitions were obvious. At this time, there was civil strife in Kuzhou, and she had Lu in her hands.
The king's only surviving nine sons, Mr. Yue, may be in his hands, and he may use his name to plot against Kuzhou."
Wang Changyuan nodded: "Xue Qing acted tyrannically, and Lord Lin Mansion has Young Master Yue in her hands. If she takes this son to send troops to attack Xue, there must be forces from Kuzhou that are loyal to King Lu, or they may be dissatisfied with Xue Qing's forces and turn to her."
Hao Yuan said with a heavy face: "The 80,000 troops stationed by King Lu in Guanhu County and Piaodun County in Yanzhou are controlled by a general named Hua Qingfa. If General Hua has no intention of self-reliance and joins his troops to join King Lu,
I am afraid that the strength of the only young master will be more advantageous than Mr. Lin Mansion."
Yao Qiyu frowned: "In this case, if Mr. Lin wants to take the opportunity to take Kuzhou, he will have a good reputation and success, and his strength will probably be greatly increased."
Gao Yue shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The timing of the chaos in Kuzhou is too coincidental. I suspect that this was planned by the forces of Lord Lin."
At this time, the few people discussing matters in the palace, with the exception of Wang Changyuan, are all counselors that Fu Xiao has recruited in the past five years and are highly valued by him.
Fu Xiao heard what Gao Yue said and said calmly: "Yes, Lord Benzhou thinks so too."
Yao Qiyu said slowly: "General Hua has 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command at this time. His old master, King Lu, is dead. If he has other intentions and wants to compete with Mr. Lin for Kuzhou, then even if Mr. Lin has Master Yue in his hands, he may not be able to do anything."
Not easy."
Fu Xiao shook his head: "That General Hua is Lin Zhihuan's man."
As soon as Fu Xiao said this, everyone in the palace, except Wang Changyuan, and the other counselors took a breath.
"Kuzhou...is already Lin Zhihuan's." Fu Xiao's voice was like ice beads falling on a plate. Although his words were soft, his words sent out a thousand layers of coldness.
All the counselors in the palace sounded the alarm to the female county guard from Lixian County.
"My lord, Lin Zhihuan, a woman who made such arrangements four or five years ago, should not be underestimated!"
"My lord, are we just going to sit back and watch her rise on the wind?"
"My lord, the situation in Kuzhou is very chaotic. Maybe we can also take part in it."
"Lord, although our Zhuozhou has formed an alliance with this woman at this time, it is not impossible..."
Fu Xiao interrupted everyone's admonitions: "No need, Lord Benzhou didn't stop her before, so why bother to do it now?"
Wang Changyuan agreed with what Fu Xiao said and said to the colleagues around him: "That female county guard is a tough nut to crack. If you are up against her now, you have no chance of winning. Both sides will suffer, and if you fail, you will only benefit others."
The counselors in the palace thought deeply, gave up the plan, and changed the direction of the discussion.
"Qingping Road has developed rapidly, occupying Zizhou and Lanzhou, both of which border Zhuozhou. It is indeed a serious problem."
"At this time, we have formed an alliance with the female county guard. The female county guard is stronger, which is good."
"Kuzhou is a big state. We have formed an alliance with her. When she takes over Kuzhou, our lord's power will be much weaker than hers, and we may be counterattacked by her."
"Hey, it's a pity that since General Qi occupied the three counties of Yanzhou, he has not returned with his troops. Otherwise, why should we worry about so many people anymore?" The general Qi mentioned by counselor Gao Yue refers to Qi Ya.
"Yes, now we have an army of 100,000, plus the 100,000 troops in General Qi's hands. If we join forces, why should we be afraid of anyone else?" Yao Qiyu sighed.
Qian Ting frowned, looked at Fu Xiao's face, and said bluntly: "Don't think about joining forces. This heroine general is the one who should be afraid of the most. In my opinion, if she wasn't worried about her reputation, she would have come back early. Already."
After Qian Ting finished speaking, he solemnly raised his hands to Fu Xiao who was sitting at the top and said, "My lord, you must be on your guard against Qi Ya."
Fu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "Qi Ya does have plans for Zhuozhou. She has secretly contacted some aristocratic families in Zhuozhou."
All the counselors were shocked when they heard this.
"Lord, if this is the case, you must be on guard!"
"Lord, we should make plans early!"
Wang Changyuan pondered: "Qi Ya has not openly broken with the Qi family, and the Qi family has surrendered to the lord. If she attacks back, she must have the name to send troops, otherwise her reputation will be very bad."
Qian Ting nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. We can just be on guard against Qi Ya. We don't need to regard her as an enemy for the time being."
Fu Xiao said in a deep voice: "There is chaos in Kuzhou right now, Qi Ya might take advantage of the chaos and get involved."
"My lord, what you said makes sense." When Wang Changyuan heard this, his eyes immediately brightened.
Counselor Gao Yue said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that Mr. Lin will face off against General Qi. No matter who wins or loses, it will be of great benefit to us."
Counselor Chang Xingde nodded: "Yes, General Qi is also an ambitious man. He wants to get involved in the two counties in Yanzhou that have just been occupied by King Lu, and he also wants to get involved in the affairs of Kuzhou."
Counselor Yao Qiyu smiled and said: "General Qi doesn't understand Lin Fujun's strength. Haha, I'm afraid there will be a good show this time."
Wang Changyuan raised his hands and admonished Fu Xiao: "There is civil strife in Kuzhou. The two forces, Qi Ya and Lin Zhihuan, want to conquer Kuzhou, and they are bound to confront each other! Lord, we may also take this opportunity to plan elsewhere, and don't worry. These two forces suddenly attacked from behind."
"Qingzhou! Qingzhou is weak!" Advisor Hao Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened.
Hearing this, Yao Qiyu touched his palms and praised loudly: "Counsel Hao, what a great idea!"
Gao Yue was also excited: "Tanzhou Mu of Qingzhou spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, doted on the concubine too much, and promoted the concubine's family to officials, which made his wife Cai very dissatisfied. Cai was born in a first-class family in Qingzhou , and Tan Zhou Mu’s family power is comparable to that in the local area, we may be able to take advantage of this."
Chang Xingde also said loudly: "Qingzhou is already plagued by banditry, and Tanzhou Mu's behavior has caused civil strife among his subordinates. This is an opportunity for us to take advantage of."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The troops of Qi Ya and Lin Zhihuan are all invested in Kuzhou. It is indeed a good opportunity for us to seize Qingzhou."
"Don't miss the opportunity; it will never come back!"
"Lord, what do you think? We have been recuperating for a long time. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how about we send troops to capture Qingzhou?"
Fu Xiao stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves and robe solemnly, exposed two tiger teeth, and said with a final word: "Okay! Let's plan for Qingzhou."
