Chapter 419: Western Liang thinks the matter is done

He made a request for continued interaction, but the wording was cautious, in the name of "asking for advice on learning," which was neither too abrupt nor left a clear space for follow-up.

Fu Qingshuang looked at Luo Feng's "sincere" and "expectant" gaze, and her heartbeat accelerated for no reason.

She bit her lip slightly, then relaxed and said softly: "If it is about history and military, occasionally... it is not impossible. It's just that Qingshuang is shallow in talent, I am afraid I will fail the General's inquiry."

This is agreeing, although with restraint.

A flash of joy appeared in Luo Feng's eyes, and he arched his hands: "Girl is too modest. In this way, Luo will thank the girl first. I have military affairs, it is not convenient to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye, hope the girl takes care."

"General, walk slowly." Fu Qingshuang bowed in return.

Watching Luo Feng's straight back disappear at the door of the bookstore, Fu Qingshuang stood in place, not moving for a long time.

The "Brief Examination of the Scenery of Hexi and Longyou" in her hand seemed to become a bit heavy.

This "chance encounter" was much "smoother" than she expected, and Luo Feng's attitude was more "sincere" and "inclined" than expected.

But why, she didn't have half the joy in her heart, but had a kind of empty, and even faintly uneasy feeling?

The news quickly spread back to the Dou mansion.

After listening to the detailed report from the eyes and ears and Fu Qingshuang herself, especially Luo Feng's "exhausted to deal with," "having strength but cannot use it" feelings, the positive feedback on the thank-you gift, and the final clear signal of taking the initiative to seek follow-up contact, Dou Wen clapped his hands and laughed, the tension and expectation of the past few days turned into ecstasy.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This Luo Feng is indeed hard on the outside and soft on the inside, with many thoughts in his heart! Niece Qingshuang responded appropriately, every word hit his heart!

Look at his final expression and tone, he has clearly developed a great liking for Qingshuang, and regards her as a confidant who can pour out and rely on! This plan is done!"

Dou Wen paced excitedly in the hall.

The head of the Wei family, the head of the Zhang clan, and others also showed joy. "Dou Gong, should we immediately report this good news to Lord Cui and Military Advisor Si in Luoyang?"

"Naturally! Immediately write a letter in secret code!"

Dou Wen's eyes shone brightly, "Detail Luo Feng's reaction, especially emphasize his helplessness towards the new policy's constraints and local forces, as well as his admiration and reliance on Qingshuang's talent and knowledge.

Tell Lord Cui and Military Advisor Si that this Luo Feng's heart defense has appeared cracks, he has accepted all the 'goodwill' and 'understanding' we passed on, and took the initiative to seek follow-up contact.

This is a heaven-sent opportunity, Western Liang's great cause can be expected!

Please ask Lord Cui and Military Advisor Si for instructions, should the next step be to consolidate with 'academic interaction,' or... can we try to pass on more substantial 'concern' and 'support'?"

Soon, a secret report written in secret code, overflowing with excitement and the meaning of claiming credit, was sent out secretly from the Dou mansion, and through several secret channels, it was sent to Luoyang overnight.

In the letter, Luo Feng was described as a perfect target who was "in a dilemma, longing for understanding, surprised by the gift, quite inclined to Fu Qingshuang, and has shown signs of being won over."

Cui Yan and Si Wushuang in Luoyang received the secret report, read it carefully, and smiled at each other.

The plan is steadily advancing in the direction they most expected.

Luo Feng's reaction verified their judgment on human nature and the cracks within Beijiang.

It is time to consider the next more substantial action.

Of course, this good news must also be let everyone know. Now Western Liang and Beijiang are in a stalemate, although there is no large-scale battle, friction basically happens every day.

Beijiang has not taken the initiative to attack because it is to digest Guanzhong, while Western Liang is looking for a suitable opportunity.

So Western Liang is a bit impatient, and this good news can just boost morale and improve morale!

Luoyang, Western Liang Royal Palace Discussion Hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was murderous, different from the dullness and irritability of the previous days. Today, although it was still heavy, it faintly revealed a suppressed excitement.

Western Liang King Wei Wenlie sat high in the main seat, his locked brows seemed to have stretched, but his eyes were still urgent.

The core civil and military officials below were lined up, everyone sitting upright, their eyes focused on the secret report in Si Wushuang's hand.

Si Wushuang did not sell the pass, "Report to the King! Dou Wen of Fufeng reported urgently, regarding Luo Feng of Chang'an, there is great progress."

Wei Wenlie waved his big hand, his body leaned forward slightly: "Speak!"

Si Wushuang repeated the content of the secret report to Yuwen Lie and everyone present in a clear and steady tone.

He emphasized Luo Feng's feelings of "exhausted to deal with" and "having strength but cannot use it," his "surprise" and "often flips through" the "thank-you gift" given by Fu Qingshuang, his "admiration" for Fu Qingshuang's talent, and the final "earnest" posture of taking the initiative to ask for "advice in the future."

With Si Wushuang's narration, Wei Wenlie's locked brows completely stretched, he slammed the armrest of the throne, and laughed: "Good! Good! What a Luo Feng! This King thought he was a hard bone that couldn't be gnawed, didn't expect he was also an egg with a crack!

Dou Wen, Fu Qingshuang, this matter was handled beautifully! Wushuang, Cui Gong, this plan is wonderful! Jiang Jinshi cut off his own arms, and the generals under his command have resentment, this is heaven helping me!"

The generals in the hall also showed excitement.

Tufa Yan grinned his big mouth: "King! Then what are you waiting for?

Since this kid Luo Feng already has a different heart, let's send someone to make it clear to him!

Promise him high official positions and wealth, let him defect before the battle, open the Chang'an city gate, and welcome my Western Liang army into the city!

At that time, Chang'an will be within reach, and the foundation of the rebel Jiang Jinshi in Guanzhong will be broken!"

Murong Ke was more cautious, pondering: "General Tufa, don't be impatient.

Although Luo Feng has revealed a gap, he is still a general of Beijiang and Jiang Jinshi's confidant after all.

The risk of making it clear directly is too great. If he pretends to agree but actually sets a trap, our army will be in danger.

Dou Wen's secret report also said that Luo Feng only softened his attitude and revealed depression, and did not have any substantial betrayal.

It is too early to win him over directly, and it is easy to startle the snake."

"General Murong's words are reasonable."

Si Wushuang nodded, took the conversation and said, "Luo Feng's heart is like boiling water, there are already bubbles, but the heat is not enough, uncovering the lid will leak the gas.

We need to add firewood to make this pot boil completely, and make him feel that except for throwing himself into our Western Liang, there is no other way to go."

Wei Wenlie restrained his wild laughter, "Wushuang, according to your opinion, how should we add this fire next? And how to use this chess piece of Luo Feng to break the current stalemate and completely drive Beijiang out of Guanzhong?"

Si Wushuang arched his hands and responded: "King! Everyone! Luo Feng's different heart is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But if you want to use this opportunity to accomplish great things, you need to do multiple things at the same time, use both civil and military, and proceed step by step."

"First, continue to consolidate the 'private friendship' with Luo Feng.

Order Dou Wen, Fu Qingshuang, and others to maintain close contact with Luo Feng in the name of 'academic discussion' and 'red-faced confidant.'

Fu Qingshuang can appropriately reveal deeper sympathy for Luo Feng's 'situation,' and even 'inadvertently' reveal that many knowledgeable people in Guanzhong recognize Luo Feng's talent for governing the army and settling the people, and feel deep regret for his 'being trapped in trivial matters and unable to stretch.'

At the same time, let the Dou family and others secretly subsidize Luo Feng to help him solve some 'small troubles' in military supplies and rewards, letting him truly feel our 'help' and 'sincerity.'

Gift giving can be gradually increased, but it needs to be more secret and have more 'heart'." ===== CHAPTER 420 =====
