Chapter 1395

People who can say such things probably do not understand even one ten-thousandth of Duan Yu.

Yet it exposed his own true nature without a doubt.

"This subordinate kowtows to thank the Great King for his holy grace."

Duan Yu raised his hand to let Fa Yan take a seat, then entered the main topic: "Jimou, you came because..."

"Oh." Fa Yan quickly collected his excitement and gratitude and said, "This subordinate knows that the Great King wants to take Hanzhong, so I have come specifically to offer a strategy for the Great King."

"Haha, Jimou is truly like his name, possessing strategy in his chest. Jimou, speak in detail." Duan Yu responded with a smile.

Fa Yan's face flushed as he said, "Great King, it is like this: the Administrator of Hanzhong Commandery, Su Gu, is a man from Fufeng, and this person is a fellow countryman and an old friend of this subordinate."

"Oh?"

Duan Yu raised his eyebrows after hearing this and said, "Jimou's meaning is to write a letter to persuade Su Gu?"

Fa Yan quickly shook his head and said, "That is not it, Great King. Although Su Gu is a fellow countryman and a good friend of this subordinate, this person's personality is... upright. If I were to write to him asking him to submit to the imperial court, I fear he would not."

"Then what is Jimou's meaning?" Duan Yu asked.

"Great King, Su Gu certainly will not surrender because of a letter from this subordinate, but people have suspicions, especially since the Governor of Jizhou, Liu Yan, has just arrived in Yizhou and fears that the hearts of the people are not united and that there are ulterior motives. As long as Liu Yan is made to feel suspicious and doubtful of Su Gu, then this subordinate has a way to persuade Su Gu."

Duan Yu instantly understood Fa Yan's meaning.

A strategy of alienation.

A very simple strategy of alienation.

"Jimou, your meaning is to write a letter to Su Gu in your name, in the name of being old friends for many years, but this letter must be made known to Liu Yan."

"As long as Liu Yan knows, then Liu Yan will suspect Su Gu, because you are fellow countrymen and also good friends."

"Liu Yan will likely find someone to replace Su Gu. In this way, there will be a rift between the two old friends, and you can also take this opportunity to persuade Su Gu to bring Hanzhong to surrender, is that it?"

Fa Yan nodded repeatedly. "The Great King is wise; that is exactly what this subordinate means."

Duan Yu nodded while rubbing the stubble on his chin. "Not bad, this strategy is not bad. If this strategy can succeed, Jimou, you shall be credited with a great merit."

When the conversation reached this point, Fa Yan's face turned even redder.

"Great King... to tell you the truth, this strategy... this strategy is not what I thought of, but rather someone else." Fa Yan lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Hmm?" Duan Yu was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is this person Jimou speaks of?"

"Reporting to the Great King, this person... is none other than my own son." ===== CHAPTER 1397 =====
