Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1111 is their first move

When Wang Gou and Lu Chen, who were on mission and with heavy hearts, arrived at the barracks stationed on the border of Bingzhou, they heard the news that the Guanzhong Army's defense line opposite had been broken and was retreating south.

"What's going on? Where is Captain Ran! We need to see him immediately and ask him why!"

Lu Chen was already under tremendous pressure when he came this time. Now that he knew the news, he couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately became furious with the military recorder he was receiving.

Even Wang Gou, who seemed a little calm, had a gloomy face and said nothing, allowing Lu Chen to get angry. From this, we can see the envoy's mood.

The mission of the two of them was not an easy one. They finally prepared themselves mentally and did enough homework for it. They read through the files for several days in order to be able to live up to their trust, but they were also worried that Ran Zhan would Things were messed up, so I traveled day and night, rushing all the way here, and got such a result, which would be difficult for anyone to accept.

Intrigued by the momentum and anger of the two envoys, the receptionist was sweating on his forehead and felt even more anxious. However, he knew very well that this matter was indeed his general's fault, so he could only lower his head and endure it, thinking first. Let the two envoys vent their anger before talking.

After finally seeing that Lu Chen's anger had subsided a little after rebuking him for a long time, the recorder said tentatively: "Actually, the envoy of the Southern Army is still in the camp at this moment, and there is one person inside who is talking to him. The general has an old man, I heard he was from his old department in Luoyang, so you two might as well negotiate with him, maybe you can get something from him."

"Harvest?" Lu Chen's anger, which had finally calmed down, was immediately ignited by this sentence. He sneered, "You have beaten them, so what's the use of seeing the southern envoy again? Are we still trying to appease them? Let’s just say that their troops were defeated, but there’s no need to worry?”

Even Wang Gou couldn't help but said: "Since this envoy contains the general's old subordinates, it is even more inappropriate for us to meet him. If this person goes to see the general in the future, talking about the person we met today, we may be If he thinks it's a provocation, then he will mention it in front of the general, and the responsibility for this matter will still fall on the two of us. Wouldn't it be unfair?" At the end of the sentence, he also showed obvious anger.

When he saw the two of them wanting to blame each other, Na Lushi quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.

Fortunately, after Wang Gou and Wang Gou finished speaking, they did not continue. They just asked: "Since Captain Ran is not here, who is in charge of the barracks? I want to meet him later..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the side——

"No need for anyone to look for you, I'm already here."

Following the sound, Gao Bing came to the two of them and greeted Wang Gou and Lu Chen.

"As expected, it's you, Brother Gao." Wang Gou sighed and softened his tone, "I'm afraid you are the only one who can take charge of things here at the moment."

"Brother Wang still understands me." Gao Bing also showed an unusual relationship with Wang Gou.

In fact, the two camps are similar, and they both belong to the camp of officials from poor families.

Needless to say, Wang Gou got up because of Bao Jingyan's introduction. His original background was not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, and the Gao family of Gao Bing was actually a clan of Goguryeo. Until now, Gao Bing has gradually become famous. He has gained power, but privately, many people still say that he is a bastard who just pretended to have a high surname and got into Youzhou, which is also a pattern of a poor family.In view of this, the two were certainly close, but Wang Gou did not neglect Lu Chen and immediately introduced them to him.

"I have heard of Brother Lu's name a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was indeed very charming."

The other party treated him with courtesy. Although Lu Chen was unhappy, it was not easy to greet him. Moreover, the key to the matter was Ran Zhan, not Gao Bing's responsibility, so he returned the greeting with a cold face.

Later, Wang Gou couldn't wait to ask: "Why did Colonel Ran start the battle without the general's order? Even if the general intends to be unkind to the two kings, he should not act without a plan!"

Hearing this, Gao Bing smiled bitterly: "You two may not believe it, but this military struggle was actually instigated by the other side, and they were the ones who made the first move!"

"what?"

Wang Gou and Lu Chen both showed expressions of surprise and surprise.

Afterwards, Lu Chen said with a sullen face: "This kind of statement is too far-fetched. How much the Guanzhong Army is afraid of Xuanjia Yong'er is known to the entire Bingzhou. It has already spread to Jinyang, saying that Xuan Jia Yong'er is If you enter, the Guanzhong soldiers will retreat, and you won't dare to meet them at all."

"That's true, but it's not true to say that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong fear my black armor just like mice fear cats. Otherwise, how could they dare to invade the two counties?" Gao Bing's rhetorical question immediately made Lu Chen a little worried. Speechless.

Wang Gou said: "Brother Gao, there is no need to argue, let's talk about the reason. I believe that as long as the generals of the Southern Army are not insane, they should not dare to take the initiative to provoke. If they really do this, there must be something inside. "

Gao Bing smiled while stroking his hands, and said: "You still see clearly..." These words made Lu Chen change his face slightly, but he recovered immediately.

"This incident is actually due to coincidence. You also know that although the Southern Army occupied two counties, they knew that they were in the wrong and were worried about arousing our army's resentment and eventually war broke out. Therefore, everyone from top to bottom stuck to their duties and did not dare to make any mistakes. Yue Leichi's actions were not provocative, but Ran Xiaowei was dissatisfied with what the other party did, and often sent troops south to harass him. Seeing that the other party always retreated, the soldiers going south became more and more bold, and finally even faced the Confederate soldiers in front of them. We will go in and out of some villages and towns to attract people to come north."

Wang Gou frowned and asked with some confusion: "So, the Southern Army is obviously very restrained, why did it eventually turn into a military war?"

Gao Bin shook his head slightly and sighed: "Everything has exceptions. Four or five days ago, when the three Guanzhong envoys entered the camp, a small team of soldiers going south encountered a group of soldiers outside a village. When the Nan soldiers saw Xuan Jia, they not only refused to retreat, but took the initiative to attack. Because they were too careless, our team injured two people, so in anger, the remaining Xuan Jia soldiers killed them all!"

"It seems that there are some people in the Southern Army group," Lu Chen stopped being silent and took over the conversation, "The other soldiers retreated, but this group took the initiative to greet them. It is possible that some people in the Southern Army felt it was a shame to retreat. So he inspired his bloody spirit and took the initiative to ask for a fight." By then he knew the temperament of some soldiers from aristocratic families.

"That's right!" Gao Bin sighed, "In that team, there is a young man surnamed Zhang, who is the eldest son of one of the three commanders of the Northern and Southern Army this time, and he is also from the Zhang family in Jiangzuo. As soon as he died, he immediately stirred up a hornet's nest, allowing the Confederate left wing to take the initiative to attack, but it was exactly what the lieutenant colonel wanted, so he immediately ordered all his troops and horses to kill him!"
