Chapter 130 I Was Wrong (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

...

Looking at Li Cun who didn't say a word, Zhang Chao was in a cold sweat, and Liu Baiqin was even worse, his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Niu Meng rebelled, but Wu Desi didn't hear any news beforehand.

This is definitely Wu Desi's biggest mistake in intelligence work.

What's more, what outsiders don't know is that Li Cun once told Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin not to focus only on collecting external information, and hinted that they should also pay attention to collecting internal information.

It's not that Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin didn't understand the meaning of Li Cun's words. They also placed spies around those civil officials who were forced by Li Cun, and even placed spies around those important generals. Niu Meng was no exception. .

But for one thing, Niu Meng and other senior generals of the Huben Army have never had any problems.

Secondly, all the generals have supervisors around them, and these supervisors "monitor" the general's every move, which is really more reliable than Wu Desi's spies.

In this way, after a long time, Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin inevitably became a little slack, and some of the spies they sent to the generals also slacked off because no one asked them for a long time.

In the recent period, Li Cungang took Fujian, Liu Baiqin was busy building an intelligence network in Fujian, and Zhang Chao was busy collecting military information because of the decisive battle between the Song Army and Fang Layi Army. They ignored the collection of internal intelligence, and even paid attention, they also focused on the civilian officials who were forced by Li Cun, and did not pay attention to reliable generals.

These...are actually all excuses.

The real reason is very simple, that is Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin's dereliction of duty.

This time the Song army in Jiangbei was able to cross the river, and Wu Desi definitely had an inescapable responsibility.

Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin could find some far-fetched excuses to justify themselves, but they wisely did not do so, because a mistake is a mistake, and justifying will only make Li Cun feel that they are even more useless, or even completely distrust them They are gone.

If that was the case, then Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin would completely lose their current status and value in life.

Therefore, both Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin remained silent, waiting for Li Cun to punish them. Moreover, no matter what the punishment was, even if the power given to them was taken back, they had to accept it obediently.

Finally, Li Cun said: "The spies around Niu Meng will catch them back at any cost and dispose of them as a warning to others. All the relevant spies on their front line, including the two of you, will be downgraded to one level and punished for three months. Those who are responsible will be held accountable.”

Hearing Li Cun's punishment, Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin were secretly delighted. If they only got such a punishment, they would be very lucky.

But Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin were not happy for too long, Li Cun said again: "Hu Tu, you are in charge of this matter."

Hu Tu, who was recording Li Cun's will, was overjoyed to hear Li Cun's order!
Since the incident with Yuwen Huangzhong was over, Hu Tu was transferred to Li Cun's side to help Li Cun write and draw.

To be honest, this job is not what Hutu, who has a very ordinary font, is good at.

But Hu Tu continued to complete all the tasks assigned to him by the governor, even if he could not do well in this task, he would try his best.

Moreover, Hutu never pretended to be smart, he would do whatever the governor asked him to do, even if the governor made a mistake, he would complete it meticulously.

Hu Tu knew that he didn't have any great wisdom or talent. If he wanted to be reused by the governor, there was only one thing he could do—dedicate himself to his duty, absolutely.

Hu Tu believed that all he had done would be seen by the great governor with sharp eyes.

At that time, his Hutu opportunity will come.

At this moment, Hu Tufu's heart was full, he knew that the opportunity he wanted had come!

Hu Tu tidied up his clothes, bowed solemnly to Li Cun, and replied, "No."

In fact, Li Cun has long realized that there is only one intelligence gathering agency, and since there is no one to compete with it, problems may arise.

Therefore, a long time ago, Li Cun planned to set up another intelligence collection agency, or even set up two more intelligence collection agencies, so that they could compete with each other.

It's a pity that firstly, Li Cun was too busy during this time, and secondly, Li Cun never chose someone to help him with this matter, so he let this matter go.

As a result, there was such a big mistake.

Through this period of personal investigation, Li Cun found that Hu Tu was exactly the intelligence leader he wanted.

Moreover, it seems that Hutu is already prepared to take on this burden.

Li Cun nodded secretly: "In addition to knowing how to be dedicated to his duty, he is also a little smart, so he should be able to be the intelligence chief."

Li Cun looked at Hu Tu and said: "You can't do this well alone. At that time, you formed a pro-military captain's mansion to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. You also participated in collecting military information and instigating enemy generals. I am in charge."

When Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin heard it, they immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water was being poured from their heads.

This so-called "Pro-Army Captain's Mansion" has exactly the same function as their Wu De Division, no, it is another Wu De Division.

Why are there two departments with exactly the same functions?

That can only show that the people who created this new department were extremely dissatisfied with the work of the original department, so they built another pro-military captain's mansion to compete with Wu Desi, or to use pro-military officials in the future. Military Duwei Mansion to replace Wu Desi?
The key point is that the pro-military Duwei's Mansion has to deal with the Wu Desi's problems and deal with the Wu Desi's people.

The key point, don't forget, Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin are also on the list to be punished this time.

In other words, the first thing Hu Tu did when he took office was to clean up Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin.

In addition, Hu Tu is in charge of the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion alone, while Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin are in charge of the Wu De Department.

This will inevitably make people feel that the authority of the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion is above Wu Desi. In this way, it is too obvious who is the No. 1 in the intelligence department of the Huben Army.

Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin, who were secretly cheering and shouting luck just now, are no longer in such a mood. They know that in the future, they will be the only one in the intelligence field and they can collect information as they like. there is none left.

Only then did Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin know how angry Li Cun was about Niu Meng's rebellion or about Song Jun's crossing of the river.

What Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin never expected was that Hu Tu, whom they didn't even bother to look at before, would cause trouble as soon as he gained power.

I just heard Hu Tu say: "Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief, is the intelligence network used by our government shared with Wu Desi, or is it built by our government?"

Li Cun: "Self-built."

Hu Tu: "Spies from our house, self-recruited, or seconded from the Wu De Division?"

Li Cun: "Recruit yourself."

Hu Tu: "How much does our government spend?"

Li Cun: "Same as Wu Desi."

Hu Tu: "The minister wants to place spies beside the officials and generals who are in all critical places, please allow the governor."

Li Cun: "Sure."

Hu Tu: "Can I place spies in Wu De Division?"

Li Cun: "Sure."

At this moment, both Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin's intestines were regretful, no, they were regretful. If they had known that this matter would develop to this point, they would not let Niu Mengyou and Song Jun let go even if they went to watch it in person. Opportunities in the Yangtze River.

It's too late to regret!

At the same time, Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin were also secretly shouting, this Hu Tu is really ruthless, he is going to nail them into the Wu De Department before he takes office!
"This person must not be underestimated!"

Of course, Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin also understand that Hu Tu has no malice towards Wu Desi, otherwise Hu Tu would not have told them openly that I am going to put spies in your Wu Desi, and you should stop touching him in the future. fished.

Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin understood that Li Cun must have had this intention, otherwise Hu Tu would never dare to be so bold.

have nothing to say.

Just like what Zhang Chao and Liu Baiqin thought before, their mistake this time was really too big, and they had to bear with how the governor dealt with them, who made them not do a good job?

But there is one thing, if you, Hutu, can put nails in our Wu De Division, then we can also put spies in your personal soldier's mansion, and even place spies by your side, so that none of us will make mistakes in the future.

After letting Zhang Chao, Liu Baiqin and Hu Tu go down, Li Cun let out a long sigh!
Wu Desi was not the only one who made a mistake this time.

Li Cun also made a mistake.

in fact--

Li Cun had long thought that something might go wrong with Niu Meng.

To paraphrase a sentence from later generations, he was not a staunch revolutionary.

Niu Meng is not like Zhao Han'er and the others who were oppressed by the darkness of Zhao Song Dynasty. He has deep pains about the dark rule of Zhao Song Dynasty, and wants to change this.

Niu Meng is actually a person who oppresses people. Logically speaking, he should be the part of the people who were defeated by the Huben army.

But the Huben Army cannot all be composed of oppressed people.

Such people are certainly more loyal, but they are not enough to conquer and manage the world.

Besides, there are many people like Niu Meng, such as Han Bie, and Li Cun's cheap father-in-law and cheap brother-in-law.

It's impossible for Li Cun to just stare at Niu Meng alone, right?
The key point is that Niu Meng has indeed made a lot of contributions since he fought against Li Cun.

If it wasn't for Li Cun's feeling that Niu Meng might have problems, with Niu Meng's qualifications and achievements, he could actually be the commander-in-chief of the northern theater.

But it was because he was worried about Niu Meng that Li Cun did not hand over the command of the northern theater to Niu Meng.

In fact, Li Cun was not at ease letting Niu Meng be stationed in such an important place as Jiangning Mansion.

But then again, Niu Meng's qualifications and achievements are there, and he is not suitable for civil work. If Li Cun does not give him such a position and task as the commander of Jiangning Mansion, it will be too chilling, even It will make people feel sad when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.

So Li Cun finally chose to let Niu Meng be the governor of Jiangning Prefecture.

Li Cunman thought that if he sent his best prisoner, Sun Sandai, to partner with Niu Meng, and if Wu Desi's spies watched over Niu Meng, he would be fine.

After all, on the front line of the Yangtze River, I have an absolute advantage. It looks dangerous there, but it should actually be safer than anywhere else.

——At that time, the real danger was actually Su Dong and other teams that needed to defend Fang Layi's army, because if they didn't handle it well, the two sides might misfire, which would lead to a full-scale war, and then Zhao Song Yulong would benefit, while Niu Meng Another fiery temper, Li Cunzhen dare not arrange those tasks for him.

But in the end, Li Cun is still secretive.

Although, Liu Bang arranged for Yong Chi, the guardian of the family, to bring Liu Bang's fellow villagers to rebel together, defeated Liu Bang, and forced Liu Bang to borrow troops; After winning the world, Hou Junji, the hero of Lingyan Pavilion, conspired against him.No matter how wise and powerful a person is, he cannot avoid traitors appearing in his subordinates.But knowing that Niu Meng might have problems, and putting Niu Meng in a key position because of his lack of thoughtfulness, this is definitely a stain that Li Cun can't get rid of.

There is nothing to say, the mistakes I made, I made up for myself.

Since Song Jun crossed the Yangtze River because of his mistake, he would beat them back.

Soon, Li Cun issued an order: the army will move out, and go north to seek a decisive battle with the Song army!
