Dong Sheng snorted coldly.
"You actually caused the two of us to lose our official positions, and now, in our old age, we've even had our homes confiscated. Humph, how insidious!"
Shangguan Hong and Dong Sheng were clearly furious, but Gu Qian smiled slightly after hearing this.
He was not angry at all, nor did he feel any discomfort from their conversation.
"Lord Shangguan, Lord Dong, if I hadn't sent someone to inform you in advance, you two would probably be in the Northern Qi prison by now. Instead of thanking me, you're blaming me. What kind of logic is this? Don't forget, I'm the one who saved you."
Call him shameless or insidious,
After all, that's exactly what he did.
He doesn't care about the process, only the final result.
He wanted to achieve the greatest results in the fastest way possible.
If he can achieve a complete victory in this battle thanks to his strategy, then his efforts in planning and strategizing over the past two months will not have been in vain.
If he's going to do something, he has to make sure it's foolproof.
Shangguan Hong: "Saved us? If you hadn't spread rumors everywhere that we two had defected to your Dongjin, would we be in this situation?"
When Dong Sheng brought this up, his face turned ashen.
How despicable!
Gu Qian remained calm.
"I'm just bringing forward your future. Think about it, even if I didn't do this, would your Emperor have let you off the hook? He's been planning to deal with you for a long time. No, to be precise, your eldest prince, Qi Ze, has been planning to deal with you for a long time."
“You seem to know everything about our Northern Qi.” Shangguan Hong slapped the pavilion pillar heavily, but his wrist ached from the slap, and he couldn’t help but shake his arm.
Gu Qian stopped wasting words.
He glanced at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly.
I really don't want such good weather to be stained with blood.
"How did things go?" Gu Qian asked Shangguan Hong and Dong Sheng with a humble smile.
Shangguan Hong was angry, but at this moment, they truly had no way out.
"General Yue, who is in charge of guarding the imperial city, is a close friend of one of my officials and I have successfully turned him to the side."
He agreed to submit to Dongjin.
Just as Gu Qian said before, these two and Qi Heng are interdependent; their fates are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers.
Therefore, all of Shangguan Hong's former close colleagues sided with him.
Because His Majesty intended to dismiss the Crown Prince, and the First Prince Qi Ze had been suppressing them in every way while promoting some of his own people.
Therefore, Shangguan Hong was able to mobilize his own people with ease.
Gu Qian: "Alright!" He didn't care whether the civil officials submitted or not.
What he cared about was General Yue, whom Shangguan Hong had mentioned.
With this person present, their attack on the imperial city would be much easier.
He used half of his gunpowder in the loud explosion just now.
You should know that the enemy army just now numbered a full 300,000.
It must be said that Yan Yan's gunpowder formula helped him a lot.
He knew that the destruction of Qi was imminent.
Those 300,000 elite enemy troops were no match for his gunpowder.
Unfortunately, the quantity was a bit insufficient.
"What methods did you use?" Gu Qian asked Shangguan Hong.
“We used General Yue’s wife and children as a threat.”
After Shangguan Hong finished speaking, he slapped himself hard.
It feels really bad to be called a traitor.
Gu Qian shook his head as he watched Shangguan Hong's actions, saying that if he was cunning, Shangguan Hong was no better than him.
"Don't blame yourself so much, you're just trying to help him."
