Chapter 529 The Difference Between the Two

Guo Chong woke up at the end of Mao Shi. When he woke up, his genius was bright.

The heated kang in Pingzhou was very warm and he slept well.

He opened the window and saw that it had indeed snowed last night.

It was a bit cold outside, so he had breakfast brought to the house.

Breakfast was ordered last night and he added money.

Guo Chong finished washing, and then breakfast was delivered from the kitchen.

Not long after he finished breakfast, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw many people standing outside.

The first young woman wearing a white fox cloak greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Guo Chongguo, I have long admired your name, welcome to Pingzhou."

"Are you Lu Songli, Governor Lu?"

Both parties were smart people, and they guessed the identity of the other party at once.

Compared to Guo Chong, Lu Songli's identity is easier to guess. After all, there was probably no woman who could show up here on the second day after he arrived in Changli, Pingzhou, and who could reveal his identity in one word. Not to mention the guards behind her.

Guo Chong invited people in.

But besides Lu Songli and a female guard, there were also two obviously older guards who entered the room? The two guards were standing behind Lu Songli, and the others were guarding outside.

Although he noticed that the two people had different identities, Guo Chong did not explore it too much. For the moment, it was not important.

Lu Desheng and Xue Xu, who were pretending to be guards, looked at Guo Chong curiously. The two of them just looked at each other without speaking, and stayed behind Lu Songli as quietly as chickens.

As soon as they sat down, a guard brought a pot of hot tea.

Soon, they each had a cup of hot tea.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Guo's first stop would be our Pingzhou."

"This is not difficult to guess, right? And you have guessed it, right?" Guo Chong had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked curiously, "How can Governor Lu be sure that I am Guo Chong's?"

"Sir, you are well-known for your talents. How can I not let people notice your movements?" It should be said that as soon as Guo Chong made any changes, news spread back to Pingzhou, and the information about Guo Chong came to Jiang Yizhou.

Just as he guessed, if he hadn't paid attention in advance, how could he have been accurately captured in such a short period of time? You know, he didn't reveal much information from beginning to end.

Guo Chong took a sip of tea and said, "Pingzhou's channels for collecting information are pretty good."

"Just average."

"I believe it is not just me, Xie Zhan, King Jin and King Cheng, but also others."

"Then I'm definitely not the only one paying attention." Guo Chong joked. Others didn't dare to say it, but they would definitely pay attention to Fan Yang.

Lu Songli also smiled, and then said, "Can I ask Mr. Guo a question?"

Guo Chong nodded.

Lu Songli asked him, "Mr. Guo, who among the three forces of Xie Zhan, King Jin and King Cheng is most likely to become the largest power in the south?"

"The troubled times are just beginning, and Governor Lu is having a hard time asking me this question."

Lu Songli laughed, "This question must be a bit overwhelming."

Guo Chong: "But-"

Um? Lu Songli looked at him.

"This is the second time that Governor Lu mentioned the three forces of Xie Zhan, King Jin and King Cheng in the same order. Does Governor Lu think more highly of Xie Zhan? Do you think he can overpower King Jin and King Cheng to become the hegemon in the south? ?”

Lu Songli smiled hoarsely, "Can I say that this is just casual and ranked in no particular order?"

After a while, she said, "Forget the question just now. Can I ask another question?"

Guo Chong made a gesture of invitation.

"What does Mr. Guo think of the four forces including Pingzhou, Nandi, and King Cheng of Jin?"

Guo Chong knew that the other party wanted to test him and test his feelings about Pingzhou.

He thought for a while, sorted out his manuscript and said, "Pingzhou, Nandi, King Jin and King Cheng successively started troubles. Each of the four forces has advantages and disadvantages. But now, only Pingzhou has opened up the situation."

"Pingzhou was the first to rebel, and fought against the Xianbei army and the imperial army successively, and won victory in both battles."

"First of all, it separated the huge territory of Youping and Pingzhou. Secondly, it was the strong military strength. Finally, Pingzhou's proclamation made Pingzhou on the side of justice. It attracted the admiration and admiration of countless knowledgeable people in the world."

For example, his first stop was Pingzhou. Fan Yang is probably still waiting for the outcome of Nandi's fight with the imperial court.

The power of these two slogans is not obvious for the time being.

It's winter now, so traveling is inconvenient. After all, there are few people like him who act wantonly. He dared to say that in the spring next year, people coming to Pingzhou will be like crucian carp crossing the river.

Generally speaking, these are the current advantages of Pingzhou.

Lu Songli smiled, these were all key events that were led or planned, and she knew exactly what kind of results could be achieved.

Lu Songli motioned for him to continue.

Guo Chong continued, "Xie Zhan started his campaign in the name of 'clearing the emperor, punishing traitors, and restoring the country'; Pingzhou was obviously rebelling against the emperor Song Mo and the Dali Dynasty; King Cheng and King Jin also wanted to rebel Song Mo belongs to the emperor, but retains the Dali Dynasty."

"In comparison, Xie Zhan is only on the side of Qingjun, and is not targeting the emperor Song Mo, so he seems much gentler. Xie Zhan will get countless talented people who are unappreciated, depressed and look down on women to join his army."

Lu Desheng on the side curled his lips.

"Mr. Guo's analysis is reasonable." Lu Songli agreed with his analysis.

When Guo Chong was speaking, he had been observing Lv Songli's reaction. Until this moment, she was still a superior who could listen to him in his eyes.

So he continued to analyze, "Xie Zhan's methods are much milder, unlike you Pingzhou, who are openly rebelling. You are so determined and desperate to the Dali Dynasty and the Xianbei Royal Court. There is no compromise."

"Xie Zhan can attack or defend, there is a way out, and it is acceptable to be recruited. For cautious talents, Xie Zhan is tailor-made for them."

"Even though the court and Lingnan are fighting fiercely now, the emperor and Xie Zhan still have the possibility of cooperation, while Pingzhou and the emperor do not have such an opportunity."

Lv Songli did not comment.

Xue Xu, who was standing behind Lv Songli, thought to himself that this was the difference between their lord and Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan jumped back and forth between what he could and could not do, and he always considered his own interests and safety.

And their lord always considered the overall situation.

The two people's different choices and approaches made Xue Xu see something deeper.

If you want to solve the problem, you have to go all out from the beginning; if you don't want to solve the problem, no matter how powerful you are, it will be in vain.

"King Cheng and King Jin have gained the least. For people of insight, they are just alternatives now. Wait, if the court loses to the Xianbei again, people who are loyal to the Song Dynasty and are loyal to the Song Dynasty will turn their hopes to the two of them in disappointment."
