Chapter 1107 The people have not moved, the south has been in chaos
"Southern?" Wang Gou's heart moved, "Is the lord referring to those three kings?"
"It's the three kings, but now it should be said that they are two kings." Chen Zhi nodded.
"Two Kings?" Wang Gou was under house arrest for a long time. He didn't know much about the outside world and did not have enough channels. He had not yet learned about the changes in the south in detail. "Is there another royal family in trouble?"
"No," Chen Zhi briefly introduced the situation, and then said, "In the battle of Tongguan, the three kings abandoned the emperor and fled alone, but conflicts broke out between them. The King of Yingchuan led a group of troops to Hanzhong and stationed there. Now the ones in Guanzhong are the King of Chu and Huainan."
"There are conflicts between the three kings?" Wang Gou was a little confused, "Is it because of a power struggle?"
Chen Zhi affirmed this speculation and said, "It is precisely because the three kings are in charge of the government. The original intention is to drive away the Changsha King who is entrenched in Luoyang. However, after that, the conflict between them is difficult to hide. The King of Yingchuan is the emperor's brother, and it is more convenient to abuse his power. He was gradually excluded by the remaining two kings. In order to gain an advantage, he even colluded with foreign enemies!"
"There is such a thing?" Wang Gou was shocked, but thinking that Chen Zhi even told him about such news, obviously to have enough information. Fortunately, he had the advantage in negotiations and negotiations, he asked, "The lord asked me to go south this time to negotiate with the two kings of Guanzhong. Is it a way to agree on a plan to coexist and maintain the relationship between the general's mansion and the court?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi shook his head and said simply: "The two kings of Guanzhong are not considered courts! Like the King of Yingchuan, they are both murderers who murder the emperor. Compared with Liu Cong, Liu Can, Zhao Ran and others, you will not give in. If you go south this time, it would be fine. Our army will take Bingzhou with the momentum, and then accumulate strength to strive to avenge the emperor as soon as possible. If they don't want to, it would be better. They will provoke conflicts and also invade Guanzhong, capture the two kings and avenge the emperor together."
Wang Gou on the opposite side listened and immediately broke out in his forehead.
He finally understood what the lord meant. He knew that he would let him go. In fact, it was not a negotiation, but a provocation. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of whether he could provoke conflicts between the two sides.
This is a technical job and has great risks. If you accidentally take it off, you may not be able to come back.
No wonder Chen Zhi asked himself at the beginning if he had the courage to continue on missions.
Just as Wang Gou was thinking about it here, Chen Zhi saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "No need to worry, it is not just for you to cause disputes. The situation in the south is very complicated. Ran Zhan's soldiers and the two kings have already fought each other, but both sides are restraining. I see what the meaning there may be to make us give up one or two counties in the south of Bingzhou. If they are so unaware of advancing and retreating, they may have already broken out before you get to the place."
Wang Gou immediately corrected his attitude and nodded, "So that's it. My subordinates understand. Then he goes back and prepare and strives to set off south as soon as possible."
"Okay, I will send all the information collected from the south to you. You can study it first and then leave. It's not too late."
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, Wang Gou proposed an idea: "I hope the lord can arrange Brother Lu to assist me, so I will go south together."
"Lu Chen?" Chen Zhi pondered slightly and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you two complement each other, this is indeed suitable for going together."
Since this matter was decided, Wang Gou did not delay. After saying goodbye to Chen Zhi, he went back to prepare.
Soon, the people arranged by Chen Zhi handed over the war report and situation in the south.
There are still quite a lot of information, with ten booklets written in a dense manner.
"The situation in the south is indeed complicated, and you must figure it out before you can set out." Looking at the ten neatly arranged volumes, Wang Gou read them all night.
Early the next morning, Lu Chen, who had received the news, took the initiative to visit him.
"Brother Wang, you really know how to arrange for me. Going south this time is not an easy job. You want me to accompany you to enter the tiger's den and dragon pond!"
As soon as they met, Lu Chen said something a little reproachfully.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gou laughed loudly, and he said bluntly: "Is Brother Lu not interested in this matter? The war is in full swing now, but it is all the work that will be finished afterwards. We civil officials are not as good as military generals in this matter. There are not many positions that can be credited at this time. Brother Lu can't blame me, have you found a good opportunity?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Wang Gou said, this Youzhou army expedition was an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but the civil servants in Youzhou almost missed it. In the final analysis, it was because they were not optimistic about this expedition in advance.
In fact, it is not just civil officials, but also military generals who have doubts, but no matter how doubts they have, they have to go to war. Once they find that this matter is feasible, they will change their faces and become more and more active. On the other hand, the civil officials stayed behind Youzhou, listening to the constant news coming from the front, while they were also a little frustrated, fearing that they would not be able to participate in the feast of Bingzhou this time.
In contrast, Wang Gou and Lu Chen had already received a contribution because of their previous mission. Now they have received Chen Zhi's order to go south to contact the two kings of Guanzhong. Once they go smoothly, they will make contributions. When they are rewarded in the end, they will definitely be indispensable.
Lu Chen also understood the truth behind this. He heard this and did not insist, but said, "You must first figure out what is going on in the south."
"Wang also means this," Wang Gou did not delay, pointing to the books that had been opened by most of them, "You are here just right, so let's take a look at these military information together, maybe you can get something."
Lu Chen nodded and looked at it together.
When the two saw this, another day passed. During this period, Chen Zhi's personal soldiers came over and sent another book. It turned out that the battle situation in the south had a new situation.
After dinner, the two stopped and looked at each other.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Listen to you, the general asked me to wait south this time, which really meant to lure the two kings' troops to attack. But now, looking at what Ran Zhan did, it is clear that he is going to provoke a dispute, so how can you and I have no room for you to come forward? If this situation continues, I am afraid that as soon as you and I will get to the other side's camp, they will be pulled out to cut off the sacrifice flag."
