Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 778: Advising rebels is planning chaos

After the news spread, the entire Dai County immediately became excited. Everyone knew that the imperial court had sent a cavalry captain to confer Chen Zhi with the title of general.

This kind of news can be said to be a stone that stirred up thousands of waves, and all forces took action, some were delighted, some were shocked, and some were terrified...

Even Zaosong, who had just arrived in Dai County, was shocked.

"Huan Yi is here to give Chen Zhi a real job?" He stared at the person who came to report the news, breathing a little quickly, "Okay, this old boy, even I have concealed it. Chen Zhi's Northern Expedition General already has the command of troops. The idea of ​​conquering the north was a false position in the past, with little influence and little trouble. Now the court wants to give him a real position, which gives him the qualification to claim the north. With Chen Zhi's current reputation and strength, that Tuo The Ba tribe and the Murong tribe want to take advantage of the situation in Daijun, and if they combine together, they might be able to shake the foundation of the general!"

Thinking about it, he paced back and forth in the room, and finally made a decision. He called his servants and said, "Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses. I want to go over and visit Huan Yi."

The man promised and left, but soon came back with an unhappy face and said: "There is Wu Ding of Daijun outside, who said he was ordered to protect the envoy's safety, but when I said that the envoy was going to visit Mr. Huan, the man stopped him in every possible way. Said it couldn’t be like this.”

"Oh?" Zao Song's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile: "Are they not allowing me to wait out? Chen Zhi wants to put me under house arrest? This is a bit too much. It can be said to be a stupid move."

At present, in this county, two of Wang Jun's advisers and staff are under house arrest, namely Wang Qian and Wu Jie. These two people were under house arrest. Wang Jun was naturally angry and sent people to ask for it, but failed to do so. , I still have to endure it for various reasons, and I have long been dissatisfied.

Others heard about it, but they would not accuse Chen Zhi of the following crimes. It was because these two people were under house arrest for a reason. One was conspiring to kill Chen Zhi, and the other simply participated in the battle to attack Daijun and was directly captured. of.

With these two legitimate reasons, in this society where killing people to avenge blood relatives is supported by public opinion, there is no need to worry about being criticized.

And the number of people is also very suitable. Two people are not too many, but not too many, because these two people have a certain status and power in Wang Jun's camp.

At this time, if another person is arrested, and this person is still sent to negotiate, the balance of public opinion will be tilted. The arrest of Wang Qian and Wu Jie may turn from reasonable to unreasonable, and people will dislike it. .

People's hearts never turn according to right or wrong.

Unfortunately, the next words made Zaosong frown——

"The man said that except for Mr. Huan's residence, we are allowed to go anywhere else, and they will arrange for someone to protect us. We can even arrange to see Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu if we want to."

"You mean you can see Wang Chen and Wu Jie, but you can't see Huan Yi?"

Hearing this, Zao Song not only frowned, but also showed a contemplative look. Finally he shook his head and said, "Could it be that Chen Zhi still wants to use that alienation and differentiation strategy to make me and him suspicious of each other, thereby destroying King Jiangdu?" A secret agreement with the general? No!"

Suddenly, Zao Song noticed something: "If this is the case, it means that Chen Zhi already knows about the secret agreement, but this matter is very secret, and very few people know about it, unless there is a traitor!" Regarding the traitor, Wang Jun There have been speculations for a long time, and recently they have been conducting secret investigations. However, in order not to alert others, and not to disturb the hearts of their subordinates, not many people know about it, and Zaosong is one of the few.

However, after several interrogations, someone still noticed it, and Wang Jun couldn't find any clear evidence, so he suppressed it for the time being. At that time, Zao Song also persuaded Wang Jun to burn the letters sent by his subordinates to Yuan Shao after Cao Cao resisted Yuan Shao. As an example, Wang Jun temporarily let go of his suspicion.

Unexpectedly, Zaosong himself was now shaken.

"No matter what, since Chen Zhi relented, I should at least go see Wang Qian and find out about the situation." With this in mind, Zaosong did not insist on seeing Huan Yi, and instead asked someone to send a message saying that he wanted to see Huan Yi. The king rushed.

This news quickly reached Chen Zhi's ears.

"This Zaosong can really be picked up and put down. I'm going to see Wang Chong now." The person beside Chen Zhi at this time was Su Liao, who also got the news and came to congratulate him.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "This Zaosong already has talents. If he wasn't too involved with Wang Jun, I would try to recruit him. But when he sees Wang Jun, he will definitely be more suspicious. With this arrangement, let him go back first." After that, everyone in Wang Jun's camp will be jealous. If Wang Qian is released after a while, everyone under Wang Jun will really be in danger, and maybe even his time to attack Dai will be implicated and delayed."

Su Liao nodded when he heard this, but he still wondered why Chen Zhi knew so much about the news within Wang Jun's camp.

Originally, when the Secret Intelligence Department was first established, it had insufficient manpower and a weak layout, and was not as good as Chen Zhi's other intelligence system. However, after more than half a year, with the support of another intelligence system, the Secret Intelligence Department's intelligence network in Jixian, All have been established, but there is still no trace of another system, and there are few signs, unless Chen Zhi takes the initiative to reveal it, which makes Su Liao very concerned, but as the intelligence leader, he always It was not easy to ask Chen Zhi directly. At the same time, I also felt that this was Chen Zhi's check and balance, so I kept it in my heart and thought about slowly exploring it, but the result was still no clue.

After thinking about it, Su Liao added: "But Wang Jun is quite intelligent and good at planning. For more than half a year, Wang Jun has not had this person to assist him. It can be seen that the rules are a bit messed up. If he were to be replaced, wouldn't it be Give him arms."

Chen Zhize said: "Wang Jun was able to achieve things not by relying on others, but because he had his own power. His staff just speeded up the process. Now the rules and regulations are in chaos because Wang Jun has left, and the operation of the entire system has become stagnant and blocked. place, after a long time, all aspects will get used to the absence of Wang Jun, and they will return to normal. By then, Chen Gan and Liu Gan will naturally be screened out, because after all, Wang Jun controls the two states, has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of employees. Rather than doing this, it would be better to send the king back, after all, this man has been influenced by us for a long time and has made wrong judgments."

Noticing Su Liao's expression, Chen Zhi smiled again and said: "You don't have to feel sorry. Wang Chen has some background. I can't kill him. Otherwise, I will scare the snake and give him leverage, and I can't win over him. Even if Wang Chen is willing, I can't kill him." I can't trust people to surrender, so I might as well send them away to make arrangements."

When Su Liao heard this, he finally understood what Chen Zhi meant, nodded in agreement, and then went to prepare to receive the order.

On the other side, Huan Yi had no choice but to reveal the news, but he was unable to get off the tiger. He tossed and turned all night and found it difficult to fall asleep. When Chen Zhi sent someone to invite him the next day, he suddenly woke up, but he had to half push and half get on the carriage and go straight to the carriage. In the governor's mansion.
