Xu Qing's analysis was spot-on and directly addressed the concerns of Mr. Wu.
He responded calmly, "Gongming, as I said, I will follow your advice in everything."
Xu Qing nodded.
For the next steps, Mr. Wu no longer needed to appear in public. During this period, rumors were spread that Mr. Wu had contracted a disease like a panic disorder, and they could seize the opportunity once the situation gradually intensified.
This could be hidden from anyone, except Meng Yuxuan.
...
Xu Qing called for Meng Yuxuan and shared his plans.
Meng Yuxuan nodded upon hearing this, "Xu Jieyuan's strategy aligns with the military principle of surprising the enemy to achieve victory. However, we need someone familiar with the local sea conditions to lead the way. Although I have such talents in the Navy, their familiarity with this sea area is definitely insufficient."
Xu Qing: "I have just the right person on hand."
