Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145 Fate Robbery
There will be bread, there will be sausage!There will be a good life!Take Wang Hou, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission as an example!Half a year ago, it was a small rough house of only [-] square meters, with only one information line from Deng. Now, although it is still the small building of [-] square meters, we have renovated it!In the house, the white walls were plastered with lime putty powder, and the ground was leveled with fine cement. At least it looked like a government unit.

In Wang Hou’s office, the windows were replaced with wooden shutters made by skilled craftsmen instead of a hole in the original, and the desk was made into the kind of desk with drawers he wanted. Red lacquer, one drawn in charcoal, his round head, just like the one popular when Principal Jiang was, hung on the head of the desk.

More importantly, his intelligence network has also developed from one single line of Deng's to two. After sending out Deng's, he remembered that he could do something in the fallen Puyang City. They were all his old troops, with Yuan Shao's resigned Puyang prefect Liu Fei as the main thread, and Wang Hou pulled out this second thread.

However, compared with the high-end route taken by spies in this era, like Xi Shi and Su Qin, Wang Hou’s spies are all low-level routes. Those who are not trusted are only temporarily appeasing Puyang so that there will be no trouble. Everyone knows that once Yuan Shao wins, he will be the first to be promoted and replaced, so it is naturally impossible for him to know the secrets of the high-level.

But this also happens to provide a layer of protective color!And don't underestimate the low level, small and trivial matters, inconspicuous military transfers, and even some military gossip may reveal big information.

Just like the legendary Spanish double agent Juan Garcia during World War II, his so-called infiltration of Britain and collecting British intelligence was nothing more than buying a British travel guide, paying attention to British newspapers and published train timetables every day, and then booking A few magazines from neutral countries, relying on these few cheap things, he actually sent back a lot of really valuable information, and even fabricated himself to develop a 28-member spy team, asking for compensation from the Germans, in view of the information he passed back value, the Germans really believed it, not only paid him the wages of these 28 people, but also awarded him the Iron Cross.

So there is no impenetrable wall in the world, it depends on whether you can decipher and decipher it!

Under Yuan Shao's command, Deng He didn't need to inquire about anything. All he needed to do was to take the money, wine, dried meat and other rare items on the battlefield constantly provided by Wang Hou to make friends with those unsatisfactory characters in the Hebei army. , and then record the gossip that they inadvertently leaked from their chats, such as Ju Shou's military commander drank too much wine yesterday. Cai Chai and other opportunities, put this information in the agreed village.

Now Wang Hou's Military Commission's Coordination and Investigation Bureau has been expanded, and there are two more intelligence analysis rooms underneath. The scouts and cavalry retrieve the information from these intelligence points and hand it over to those smart people who have been invited back from Xudu. Guessing riddles often puts together a few pieces of information that you don't want to close, and you can restore an important piece of information.

For example, Jushou drank a lot of wine, but Guo Tu and Fengji were refreshed, and their heads were held up for a long time. That is, the Jizhou native faction under Yuan Shao's command and the Yingchuan faction had another fierce political dispute. The native Jizhou faction in Jizhou has obviously lost, and the battle between the civil servants of several factions is worth taking advantage of.

What's more, Dongdaying received three times more horse fodder from the rear battalion transport team for three consecutive days, and also prepared a lot of dry food. Combined with the information from the scouts on the battlefield, the number of encounters with Yuan Jun's scouts in the lower reaches of Jishui River increased significantly. , and after the political dispute with Jushou, Guo Tu also became busy. Wang Hou boldly inferred that Yuan Shao could not win the whole battlefield, and he had decided to open the gap from other places, and the best place to open this gap was Liyang by the Jishui River where Qingzhou and Yanzhou meet.

Take this information to Cao Cao, persuade him to write a letter to Taishan Commander Zang Ba, and mobilize his troops to form a defensive formation in Liyang. Sure enough, Gao Lan led [-] light cavalry to attack Liyang. He wanted to capture Qingxu and attacked Cao Cao from the flank. In the end, Zang Ba, who had already been waiting there to ambush, killed him and fled in a complete defeat.

As soon as Gao Lan went back, Deng Hui sent Wang Hou another piece of valuable information, that is, the conflict between the Jizhou faction and the Yingchuan faction became more and more intense. Gao Lan was demoted from general to lieutenant, and was beaten with dozens of military sticks, while Yuan Shao sent people to the north, seeming to have the intention of calling back Wang Hou's old friend Yan Liang.

Not to mention, everyone loves to play detective games. After knowing how Wang Hou deduced Yuan Shao's military dynamics, even Cao Cao and Guo Jia became interested. To get a copy, I also re-deduced a wave, Guo Jia even applied for the status of an honorary intelligence analyst with the cheek, and Yang Xiu was also eye-catching, but the relationship between this guy and Wang Hou was too bad, He couldn't squeeze in.

In the back camp, Lu Ji, a virtuous housewife, helped him figure out the calculations. Wang Hou only needed to be the master of the big things, and he was addicted to playing espionage. Wang Hou also devoted more time to the construction of this military intelligence bureau.

Another day, when Wang Hou was guessing riddles with a lot of Yuan Junzhong's gossip in his small office building on the second floor, there was a rush of people going upstairs. After knocking on the door, it was quite In order to adapt to the life of this secretary, Lu Ji came in hastily.

"My lord! General Cao Chun is here to invite tigers and leopards to march tonight. I will ask the lord's back camp for five hundred stones of raw wheat to strengthen my horsepower!"

"Five hundred stones? This is at least three thousand cavalry! What is the prime minister going to do?"

Now that he is an expert, a single number can make Wang Hou draw a series of conclusions. Hearing this number, Wang Hou suddenly stood up in astonishment.

"I heard from General Cao Chun that he is going to meet an old friend of the prime minister!"

"Old man!!!"

This title made Wang Hou's heart skip a beat.

…………

It is said that people eat horse chews. During the war, people do not necessarily eat as much as horse chews, especially war horses. Merely eating grass is far from enough to satisfy the physical strength of war horses to continue a war. They need staple food. In order to reserve enough strength.

At noon, Shifen sent the horse feed there, and in the evening, at the last moment when the sun sank to the horizon, Cao Chun took the tiger and leopard rider and quietly walked out from the West Camp.

In the small two-story building of the Military Intelligence Department, the oil lamps hanging above their heads imitating the incandescent lamps of later generations swayed unceasingly under the wind that leaked in through the gaps in the shutters. On the desktop that he had spent several times painting with cinnabar red lacquer that was only produced in Jiangnan Chudi, a large pile of thick information was placed in front of him, but he was no longer in the mood to read it, all because tonight Cao Cao An old friend who is coming.

Xu You!

No matter in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Three Kingdoms" by Xinshi Chen Shou, this character has been given an extremely important evaluation. If it were not for him, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao so simply and neatly. Those who don't believe in the reliable history they have experienced.

First of all, Yuan Shao stationed food in Wuchao. This information brought by Xu You, which gave Yuan Shao a fatal blow, was actually known by Cao Ying for a long time!

Secondly, what he believed in was real information. When he asked Deng Qi to collect information, he also focused on collecting the opinions of various people. Among them, for Xu You, many people rated him as loyal!
As far as Wang Hou saw with his own eyes, during the first battle of Guandu, Xu You threw Yuan Shao down and covered Yuan Shao's retreat with his own life!

In terms of status, among the three major factions under Yuan Shao's command, he, Shenpei, and Fengji are both the most prestigious Nanyang faction. Yuan Shaoqi's old subordinates are highly valued and powerful in the Hebei camp!Not to mention whether the judges from the same faction can fall out with him, even if they fall out, will the judges in Yecheng overthrow the eloquent Xu You who is next to Yuan Shao?

Just one family member broke the law and was detained by the interrogator. As for letting him escape in the starry night, give up the power and high position that Yuan Shao gave, and go to Cao Cao?

Doubtful!
After playing the spy war for half a year, Wang Hou smelled a familiar smell, but just as Wang Hou was frowning and was struggling with how to report to Cao Cao, the wooden door of his office was knocked lightly again. It was Zang Hong.

Clenching his fists, this big man who represented the integration of the Taishan bandits into the Yanzhou military group and took refuge under Wang Hou's command bowed heavily.

"My lord, the prime minister summoned all the generals and officials to go to the army to welcome his old friend back!"

It's still here!His heart sank, and after he nodded, Wang Hou didn't wear official robes. Instead, he took off the slats hanging by the door and put his armor on. With the blade hanging on his waist, he swayed heavily in his armor and went downstairs.

Don't say, the leader's friend is my friend!Under this iron law, when Wang Hou arrives, more than 100 civil servants and military generals who are qualified to discuss affairs have already arrived, and everyone is dressed like a dog, lined up on both sides with great energy, and Wang Hou is squeezed out. outside.

In the past, Wang Hou would have liked to hide behind and watch the fun, but this time, his mood was extraordinarily gloomy, and he stretched out his hands to grab the officials in front of him. Wang Hou was about to squeeze in, but before he could squeeze in, a But the hand suddenly pulled Wang Hou's shoulder, and pulled him back very rudely.

"Jia Wenhe pays homage to the envoy Wang! The envoy's name is like a thunderbolt to Jia's ears. Seeing him today is truly a blessing!"

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, although Wang Hou was very upset when he was dragged, but the unfamiliar scribe who was dragging him bowed heavily as soon as he met, and Wang Hou had to suppress his anger, and followed suit. I saluted.

"Mr. Jia praises me! Wang can't afford it!"

"Today, the prime minister summoned me, and Wang will listen to my master's high-level lectures in the future..."

Anxious to trouble Xu You, after paying back the gift, Wang Hou politely declined, but this Jia Wenhe seemed to be a fool, he didn't care about his thank you words, and even pulled his sleeve warmly again. Liked it.

"Wang Shijun, why bother to be humble, the simplified characters created by Shijun are enough to benefit one party, and they will be famous! Jia's family has a few ineffective bastards who can't be taught, but they use the simplified characters of Shijun. You know everything! Jia must thank the envoy for his virtue!"

Wang Hou couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't because of the nonsense of this Jia guy, but because he immediately let go of his sleeve, and a big Kanzi written in the simplified characters he had crossed over followed the people outside the camp. The brazier glaringly reflected in his pupils. Hearing Jia Wenhe's chatter, Wang Hou was thinking about advancing and retreating. After hesitating for two or three seconds, Wang Hou clasped his fist again.

"Thank you Mr. Jia for the reminder!"

"Why can't Jia understand what the envoy said?"

After meeting the signal, the old guy pretended to smile and blinked his eyes, but at this time, someone suddenly shouted in front of Cao Cao's army who had already circled to the left and right.

"I'm coming!"

Following Jia Wenhe, Wang Hou raised his head like a groundhog.

While talking, the armor clattered, Cao Chun was full of respect, and led a large team of tiger and leopard riders, surrounded by a group of forty literati, and walked to the handsome tent.

It is said to be a handsome tent, but in fact, it has now been replaced by a shotgun and a cannon, and it has been replaced by Wang Hou's two-story military camp building. Before Wang Hou could see the man's face, the door of the small building suddenly creaked and opened. This is a famous scene in history. Cao Cao was barefoot and dragging his sleeves, excitedly greeted him personally, holding the scribe's sleeves with both hands, talking excitedly.

"Xu Ziyuan, Xu Ziyuan! Cao wants to kill you!"

This is not over yet, very gay holding Xu You's hand, Cao Cao shouted excitedly to the civil servants and generals around him like showing off.

"Ziyuan is here, a great event will be accomplished!"

"If you have such a great talent, you can go to him, and the lord Po Yuan is just around the corner!"

At this moment, Xun Yu turned into a sycophant, where Le Taotao clasped his fists and bowed, and Guo Jia on the other side was even more blatant, and the sycophant was also holding his fists there.

"Xu Ziyuan is really a guiding light for our army, it is bestowed by God!"

Seeing this, Wang Hou had a taste. He Xun Yu didn't know the details of Xu You, and Guo Jia didn't know?This guy digs into his file room every now and then to search for information, and the mess is not cleaned up. Whatever Wang Hou knows, he knows!Since Guo Jia was not in a hurry, he must have made a plan.

The only wicked thing is, what a plan, this guy actually colluded with Cao Cao to sell off, and didn't tell him that there was a reason why he came so late, because he must be the last one to notify him!

Mr. Jia is still the one who is very practical, knowing how to pull his younger brother. Looking at the elder brother Jia beside him, Wang Hou suddenly felt a lot better. Xu You said a few words modestly, his proud mustache was raised, and he made out with Cao Cao. As soon as he entered the office building of the Chinese Army, Wang Hou also clasped his fist at Brother Jia who was beside him.

"Sir please!"

"Sir, don't dare! Envoy, please!"

No matter which double reed song Mr. Cao and Guo Yan sang badly, since they have a plan, they should look forward to it, exchange politeness with each other, and lead Jia Wenhe and Wang Hou to enter slowly.
