Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1017. In the face of strength, where can you be scheming?
This Wang Gou was indeed born in Wang Jun's army.

When Murong was surrounded by all sides, Chen Zhi sent Bao Jingyan as an envoy to Wang Jun's army, but he was detained instead.However, although Bao Jingyan was detained, he was not detained quietly. Instead, he gave lectures to many soldiers in the army, including Wang Gou.

Wang Gou was young, quick-thinking and quite intelligent. He liked Bao Jingyan and often lectured to him. When Wang Jun had to let Bao Jingyan go, when Bao left, he asked the listeners if they had any wishes. Servant?
Everyone shook their heads, but Wang Gou followed suit.

Wang Gou followed Bao Jingyan to Daijun, where he settled down to study and made great progress.

During this period, Bao Jingyan recommended Wang Gou to Chen Zhi several times, which left an impression on Chen Zhi. This time he sent someone to assist Liu Gang, so he arranged for Wang Gou, both for comparison purposes and to reduce his influence. Plan, otherwise if you send someone with a name and a position in the general's mansion, the nature of the matter will change.

On the other hand, the assistants assigned to Wang Gou also have some backgrounds.

This Li Tou also came from Wang Jun's army, but he was different because his roots were actually in the refugee army, and he was a recruited soldier. Even in Wang Jun's army, he was only second-rate and belonged to the cannon fodder class.

When the southern army attacked, Li Tou's army was placed in front for consumption.

Wang Jun was captured. Although the surrendered army had not yet been reorganized, it also began to replace middle-level generals and relocate team leaders. To a limited extent, middle-level officers and soldiers such as team leaders were promoted from the original lower-level soldiers to check and balance each other.

At this time, Chen Wu, Li Tou and others came forward and were promoted.

Chen Wu was originally the spiritual leader of Li Tou and others. His ability could be said to be outstanding. He was quickly noticed by the people above him. He also attracted attention from Li Tou and others. His name gradually came to Chen Zhi's ears.

This time Wang Gou wanted to go south to pick up someone. Considering the situation and topography of Jizhou, he needed someone with some ability and understanding of the situation, so Chen Wu and others were recommended, and finally Li Tou was selected. A compromise.

Therefore, when Zhao Lu met Li Tou, he felt that his temperament was familiar. It can be said that the two had similar backgrounds, but they took very different paths.

Here, Wang Gou explained his identity, and Zhao Lu immediately became arrogant. He felt that his status was far higher than that of Wang Gou, and he should be superior in terms of momentum, so he gradually became calmer in his speech and behavior.

"Brother Wang, why did you come here this time?"

Wang Gou said directly: "We are here under the orders of General Zhengbei to negotiate with you, hoping to release the group of people."

"Oh? Negotiation?" Hearing this wording, Zhao Lu rolled his eyes, "Who is it?"

Wang Goudao said: "They are the two young masters of the Liu family and the Peng family in Pengcheng. I think Zhao Jun knows it. The two of them had some misunderstandings in Zhending and had conflicts with some people in the city. The last time The incident happened in Shangquyang City. I am here to take away the two young masters. If there is any damage, I am willing to compensate."

"I have indeed heard about this matter," Zhao Lu had already made a decision. Now that Shi Le had given the order, and he really didn't want to provoke the north, in reference to the incident of Ran Zhan going out to seize the people to break Hu, he thought about it as soon as possible. It's time to send him away, I have something to worry about, but when I see Wang Gou like this, his polite words seem a bit cowardly, and the other party doesn't know Marshal Shi Le's order, so can he deceive him?
It is definitely necessary to release people, but if we can take advantage of the information asymmetry and operate a wave of operations to get benefits from the people who were originally meant to be released, wouldn't it be a great kindness?This is what Zhao Lu thought and did. He smiled faintly and said, "Although I know about Liu Gang's matter, I can't interfere with it. Since he made a fuss, it's not without reason. There must be some reason." What an outrageous move. After all, how can a foreigner from an aristocratic family be hunted down for no reason? If Your Excellency comes here and takes the person away in just a few words, it will be difficult for me to explain to the superiors and subordinates here. Ambassador Wang, Are you right?"

Wang Gou frowned, guessing what Zhao Lu was thinking, and just as he was about to speak, Li Tou, who was leaning behind him, started to sneer.

"Leader Zhao, stop playing tricks." Ignoring Wang Gou's warning gaze, Li Tou stepped forward and spoke, "Don't you just want to take advantage of the opportunity? We came here today because we want people. If the two young masters If I break something, I will be compensated with money, but I have no room for bargaining with you. Look at us, we are all nobody, right? That must be what you are thinking..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Lu's face and became proud: "Isn't that why I just found out about Mr. Wang's background? How can people like us make the decision? You should understand in your heart. To put it bluntly, , we are just outposts. If you are willing to let people go, we will take them and leave without staying in Jizhou. If you don’t want to...hehe..."

The last sneer made Zhao Lu's face look even more ugly.

"Who are you?" Zhao Lu looked at Li Tou with cold eyes, "How dare you talk to me like this?"

"It's true that I am a nobody," Li Tou was not afraid at all, "but there are differences among nobody. It depends on who follows the right boss. You, Zhao Lu, were just a bandit in the past. What status do you have? You can't rely on Shi Le." ? It's a pity that Shi Le has developed, but you are not strong enough. Now you are just training troops behind, showing off your power, and catching people. I, Lao Li, can do it too. The key is, there is a powerful person behind me. How dare you Take action?"

"you!"

Zhao Lu was furious, but was caught seven inches away, because he really didn't dare to make a move, not even Liu Gang, let alone Li Tou in front of him?

This person is the envoy of Youzhou. Once he moves, he will immediately be given an excuse to start a war. Even if everyone says that Youzhou is empty and unstable, it is difficult to send troops again, but Shi Le, who is going south, cannot afford to gamble.

What's more, this theory has been circulating for a while, but the result is that Chen Zhi went out of the fortress in person first, and then Ran Zhan went out of the fortress, which is already unconvincing.

But how could Zhao Lu bear it when Li Tou said this in front of everyone?
"Okay!" Wang Gou spoke at this time, "Li Tou, don't be rude to Mr. Zhao!" He didn't stop Li Tou just now. He waited until the other party finished speaking before speaking. He had already made his attitude clear, but Zhao Lu had some Go down the stairs.

"Hmph, you're talking so freely, so you're relying on..." Zhao Lu wanted to say a few more words for the occasion, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Gou——

"Zhao Jun, let's not beat around the bush," Wang Gou looked at Zhao Lu with a calm expression, "Li Tou's words don't sound good, but the truth is right. We must take Mr. Liu and others away. If we stop him, what will be the consequences? You should know clearly that the Stone Territory is leading the army in the south. How many troops can be stationed here? If both sides are unable to step down due to your selfish thoughts, it is hard to say what the outcome will be, but you will definitely be to blame. I hope you will not commit suicide. error!"

Zhao Lu's face instantly turned livid, he suppressed his anger, waved his hand, then turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
