Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1005: Hidden in Luoyang, family letters are suspicious

"I didn't expect this person from the Yuwen Department to leave like this."

After meeting Chen Zhi for the second time, Mo Qianhun went back to discuss with the Yuwen tribesmen who came with him, and then said goodbye and left the next day. Looking at their retreating figures, Tong Hai, who had just arrived in Jixian County, couldn't help but sigh.

But after sighing with emotion, he immediately gathered his emotions, compiled and improved the information here, recorded the direction and distance of the group's departure, arranged for people to follow up, and went back to report the news to Chen Zhi.

When he arrived at Chen Zhi's side, he had already summarized the information and handed it over.

Chen Zhi took it over and took a look at it, nodded and said, "Mo Qianhun and the others should be able to convince Yu Wen Yi to return this time when they go back. If they can't, that's okay. As long as Youdong is guarded, the entire Youzhou will still be stable. It’s good for him to have a Yuwen Department for the blade, even if he doesn’t, it doesn’t hurt, it’s just a little more effort.”

With that said, he put the information letter aside and asked about another matter.

"The main reason why you came this time is that the intelligence feedback from the grassland came back. What do they think of the battle between Jicheng and Tuncheng? Have they started to spy on the origin and location of Pingxing Pao?"

When Tong Hai heard this, he replied sternly: "As my lord expected, several tribes on the grassland have sent new spies and agents to Dai County. We raided and arrested a few people, tortured them, and questioned them. The purpose of these people is indeed to specifically investigate Pingxing Pao." He took out a booklet and handed it over.

Chen Zhi took it and looked through it a few times, then said: "Since it was a surprise attack, a lot of the secret bases that we had controlled in the past were bound to be swept away. Those behind the scenes would be vigilant in the future and would reopen new secret bases, which would be even more difficult to explore." It’s difficult, and the burden on Su Liao is even heavier.”

"It's true," Tong Hai was also a little helpless, "Master Su spent several months to find out these secret strongholds. After he found them, he didn't take them away immediately. Instead, he controlled them and monitored them closely. On the one hand, It is to grasp the communication content between the two sides. On the other hand, it is also to stay at the critical moment to be able to kill it in one fell swoop. However, the teacher also said that the Pingxing Cannon is an important weapon of the country and affects the peace of the North. There must be no negligence, so it is still used. Get rid of Anzi, and take those spies down."

"This judgment is not bad." Chen Zhi nodded, noticing the worry on Tong Hai's face, and couldn't help but smile: "Looking at you, I'm actually still worried. I'm worried that Ping Xingpao's secret will be seen, so that's right. No? There is no need to worry so much. In fact, the Pingxing cannon is different from the single-shooter cannon. It is difficult for outsiders to master it. Forcibly developing it will only waste financial resources."

Tong Hai honestly expressed his worries: "But the power of such a sharp weapon is too great. This time we interrogated not only the Beidi tribesmen, but also the surrounding forces, the Huns, King Jiangdu, Shi Le, Even the spies of the imperial court couldn't bear it and made repeated inquiries. However, compared to the grassland forces, other parties only heard about it and had no personal experience. They were not as eager as the grassland forces. However, many people were aware of the danger, especially that Shi Le!”

When Chen Zhi heard this, his expression became serious. He interrupted Tong Hai: "Let's talk about the reactions of several forces in the south."

When Tong Hai came this time, he had planned to report it, and he immediately said: "Several forces in the south, including the imperial court, were skeptical after learning about Murong's so-called Tianlei Incident. Most of them thought it was Shi Le is the only one who is most concerned about Shan Shao Pao's actions. He has recently stopped his offensive and postponed his attack on the Hejian Kingdom. He has turned to sow discord between the King of Hejian and the ancestral prefect, and mobilized troops and horses. We are under Shi Le's command. The spies sent back news that he is likely to give up the attack on the east of Jizhou and attack the south instead. The strategic target may be located in Yecheng!" In fact, Chen Zhi had known this news for a long time, and he took advantage of the opportunity of dispatching detailed work to arrange it. An origami of the twelve zodiac signs is on Shi Le's side, but the scope of the origami's activities is limited. He only knows the situation around Shi Le and does not have a clear understanding of the battle situation everywhere, so he needs the Secret Intelligence Department to supplement it.

"If he really wants to attack Ye, he has to face the imperial court's counterattack. Why is he so confident? In the past, there were battles in Jizhou and even surrounded King Zhao. However, Jizhou was already in chaos. In the eyes of the imperial court, it was just chaos. The chaos has not expanded, but Yecheng is different. It has been an important town since ancient times. It is a place where people, money and food gather, and it is the fulcrum of the north. Once threatened, even if all parties are at odds, the DPRK and China must temporarily put aside their prejudices and unite Rise up and deal with it.”

Chen Zhi frowned. This was information he lacked. Although he knew Shi Le's plan, he didn't know the basis for his judgment because Shi Le was not yet a truly important monarch. He often went out to fight in person, which restricted Origami. tracking.

"Judging from Shi Le's past actions, this person shouldn't be so eager, unless something happened in the south that made him think it was an opportunity, so he took action, but..."

At the imperial court, Chen Zhi also arranged for detailed work and origami, and paid attention to the movements in Luoyang. However, Luoyang is the capital city after all and is heavily guarded. There are many people who are good at counter-espionage, so the development of this intelligence network is limited.

As for the zodiac origami, since he returned to the palace from Guanzhong with the emperor, he has also begun to reduce the scope of his activities to avoid being discovered by the people in charge of patrols in the palace. Therefore, the news that can be transmitted back is limited to the palace.

"Could it be that the emperor has been completely deceived? So my origami doesn't know the changes in the outside world?"

Chen Zhi thought, and on the other side, Tong Hai said: "There are indeed changes in the south, that is, there is civil strife in the clan. When King Guanghan and King Ganling died, King Changsha who escaped from Luoyang led troops to attack Luoyang. It is said that he was approaching. The capital, but King Jiangdu suddenly fell ill. The court was going to mobilize King Jiangdu to resist, but when he fell ill, he had to mobilize Qingzhou soldiers and horses. The whole situation was very chaotic, and I am afraid they had no time to take care of Shi Le's advance.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi began to ponder.

"The information that the origami in the palace can touch is actually the range of information that the emperor can have access to. It turns out that neither the emperor nor the palace knows this. Could it be that he is really being deceived? The emperor is completely ignored by the King of Jin? But even so, even My uncle didn’t even remind me, huh?”

Suddenly, Chen Zhi realized a problem. This time he attacked Wang Jun first and then went out to threaten Murong. During this period, he paid little attention to the news coming from the capital from the Yang family and the Chen family!
"Have there been any letters from Luoyang City recently? Have you ever mentioned this?"

Tong Hai's face became serious and he said: "I am about to report to my lord, which is also one of the reasons why I am here. In the past few days, I have received letters from Luoyang, but most of them only talked about ordinary things and did not report any news, and the secret channels Over there, there has been no news for nearly half a month!"
