Han Dao world

Chapter 1016
After talking with Ma Yunlu for a while, Liu Xie got up to leave.

He originally wanted to go to Lantai to talk to Hu Zong, but after walking two steps, he changed direction and went to the lecture hall.

At this moment, he really didn't know what to say to Cai Yan.

Yu Fan was taking a walk, followed by a man and a woman.The man is Lu Yi, and the woman is Sun Shangxiang.The three talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Seeing Liu Xie approaching, Lu Yi immediately put away his smile and turned into a poker face.

Liu Xie was a little confused and even annoyed.

Is there something wrong with this kid?It wasn't me who killed your family, it was Sun Ce, the real elder brother of the little girl who had talked and known with you.

Yu Fan keenly sensed that Liu Xie was not in a good mood, so he waved his sleeves and asked Lu Yi and Sun Shangxiang to play aside.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Liu Xie picked up his mood, told Yu Fan about the idea of ​​establishing an intelligence agency, and then asked about Hu Zong.

Hu Zong once took refuge in Jiangdong and had contact with Yu Fan.

After hearing this, Yu Fan smiled with some interest.

"Thirteen chapters of the Art of War are useful. If Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Western Regions, it is imperative to prepare for the establishment of a spy department. However, your Majesty, there is no need to worry. There are reasons, interiors, countermeasures, death, and life. Causes come first. , precisely because it is easy to carry out. Messengers can be classified into this category, as is Jiang Gan.”

Liu Xie smiled. "It seems that the sacrificial wine has already been arranged?"

"Since your majesty entrusted me to preside over the lecture hall, I naturally think more about it. However, I did not initiate this matter at first. When Jia Wenhe presided over the lecture hall, he was already preparing for this matter, but it was not too late. Execute on a large scale.”

Liu Xie thought about it, and couldn't help laughing twice.

Jia Xu is very scheming, and indeed started preparing for this matter very early.It's just that the martial arts hall was first established at that time, and many conditions were not met, so his focus was on training scouts in the army.

In the courses of the Martial Arts Hall, there are special training skills such as reconnaissance and capture of prisoners, which can also be regarded as a kind of intelligence gathering technology.

"How many people are available now?"

"Most of the current students are still in the army, and there are no special espionage officers. There are good seedlings, but it will take some time."

With a flicker of eyes, Liu Xie looked at Lu Yi who was not far away.

This is indeed a very suitable person to be a spy chief.Quick-witted, clever, and more importantly, patient.

"Is it him?" Liu Xie turned to look at Yu Fan. "Isn't it such a pity?"

Yu Fan smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, Yi Zhi is in Xia, and Lu Ya is in Yin. It is only the superior wisdom. If Your Majesty wants to destroy a country in the Western Regions, there is no need for such talents. But the goal of Your Majesty's Western Expedition is Rome." A big country is not something that ordinary scouts can do, it must be someone who is extremely smart."

Liu Xie felt that Yu Fan was right.

To deal with Rome, one cannot take it lightly, the more prepared the better.

A good spy is worth a hundred thousand troops.

"When will it be available?"

Yu Fan thought about it. "Give me another year, Your Majesty."

"Okay." Liu Xie agreed, and then asked: "How about Hu Zong?"

"Although Hu Zong is talented, he is not good enough to preside over the overall situation, but can be used as an assistant. If His Majesty is eager to inquire about information, you can let him go first. Jiang Gan is good at kissing the lips, and Shen You is both civil and military, but he is not very good at conspiracy. , Hu Zong can help them."

Yu Fan smacked his lips, and then said: "It's just that this person is good at drinking, so he can only go inside, not outside, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble."

"Hu Zong good wine?" Liu Xie was a little surprised.

"Yes. The reason why your majesty is not clear is because your majesty is thrifty. Although you can't forbid drinking, you don't advocate drinking banquets, so your majesty has no chance to see you." Yu Fan smiled and said: "Your majesty knows that Sun Quan is also fond of wine Is it?"

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "It seems that you lost a lot of fun because of me." He turned to look at Yu Fan. "I don't know that Hu Zong and Sun Quan are good at wine, but I know that Jijiu is an alcoholic."

Yu Fan wiped his nose awkwardly. "Ashamed, ashamed. This so-called understanding of others is ignorant of oneself."

Liu Xie laughed out loud.

He himself is not good at drinking, and he is not interested in the so-called wine culture, and even feels a little disgusted.But the Han people are fond of alcohol, and they like to drink heavily, and there are not a few people who drink heavily.

Just because of him, drinking alcohol has become a self-evident taboo, making countless alcoholics lose the joy of life.Only wild and unrestrained people will openly drink alcohol every now and then.

Liu Xie knew that Yu Fan was good at drinking because of this, not because of a prophet or someone who informed him.

Hearing Yu Fan say that Hu Zong is good at wine, he also thinks that Hu Zong is not suitable for field work.

After all, there are only a few people who can drink without being messy, and the majority who get drunk when they get drunk are the majority.

Including Yu Fan in front of him.

There are people who are good at drinking and not messing around, but they are too few.

After discussing the relevant arrangements with Yu Fan, he asked Yu Fan to call Hu Zong first to see what he thought, and Liu Xie turned around and left.

Lu Yi and Sun Shangxiang returned to Yu Fan.

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Liu Xie's back, and asked softly: "Sir, how is the emperor's martial arts?"

Yu Fan glanced at her. "If you have a chance, you can ask your Erlang."

Sun Shangxiang pouted. "I asked, but Erlang refused to tell."

Yu Fan laughed. "Do you know why Erlang refused to tell?"

"do not know."

"That's because he will never reach the realm of the Son of Heaven." Yu Fan patted Sun Shangxiang's head and said earnestly: "There are not many people with talents, and even fewer people can bring their talents to the extreme. Do you know why? ?”

"why?"

"Lazy." Yu Fan moved forward slowly with his hands behind his back. "Because of high talent, you can surpass many people with a little bit of effort. It doesn't have to be so hard. So most people with high talent are lazy. Their biggest enemy is not their opponents, but themselves."

Sun Shangxiang let out a half-comprehension sound.

Lu Yi thought for a while silently, and said, "Sir, is it because the Son of Heaven works so hard because of his lofty ambitions?"

"What do you think?"

"I think so." Lu Yi said unhurriedly: "The current situation is not the same as before. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to start immediately. Unless in his opinion, the immediate revival is not worth mentioning , there are more powerful opponents waiting for him to defeat, and he must overcome, there is no way to avoid it."

"Then can you guess who this opponent will be?"

"Rome?"

Yu Fan was silent for a moment, nodded, then shook his head again. "Rome is indeed a formidable opponent, but I also feel that Rome may not be the real opponent in the eyes of the emperor."

Sun Shangxiang asked puzzledly: "Who could that be? Is there any barbarian stronger than Rome?"

Yu Fan smiled and said nothing.

Lu Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed. "I understand."

Yu Fan looked at Lu Yi with relief. "What do you understand?"

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Actually, sir, I have just said that for a person with high talent, the real opponent is never an enemy, but himself. The emperor's talent is very high, so although Rome is strong, it is not his greatest. His opponent is himself."

"His own?" Sun Shangxiang rolled his eyes, unable to understand.

Yu Fan nodded and sighed softly. "Self-restraint and return to courtesy is benevolence. For a hero like the Son of Heaven, restraining one's desires and not abusing one's power is the most difficult thing."
