Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 542: Yan Ze reorganizes and ignores the clan, and two of his confidants return
After this Xianbei man was caught, he knew that he would not be able to please him. He knew that he wanted to see a high official from the Central Plains people, but he did not expect that this high official could actually speak his own language, so he was surprised and subconsciously revealed the information.

"Since you appear around Dai County, it means that Bo Zhen's troops have indeed moved into Youzhou, and they are coveting Dai County. I'm afraid you are not the only scout. Several counties should have sent people to investigate." Chen Zhi looked at the Xianbei man and said.

The latter came back to his senses at this time, thinking that he had leaked some information when he lost his composure just now, and he couldn't help but feel upset, but he made up his mind that no matter what Chen Zhi asked, he would not reveal anything anymore.

Therefore, even though Chen Zhi kept talking, this man remained silent, as if he was in a state of indifference, unwilling to reveal anything.

Although the other people around were surprised by Chen Zhi's utterance of Xianbei language, they also saw the attitude of this Xianbei person, and immediately became furious, wanting to teach him a lesson and let him tell the truth.

But this action trend was stopped by Chen Zhi immediately.

"Not busy, not busy," Chen Zhi looked at the Xianbei man and changed to the Mandarin of the Central Plains, "Now we are just scouting here, which means that the Xianbei people's large troops are still in the wait-and-see and preparation stage and will not attack rashly. , we still have time, although it’s a little tight, but it’s not like we have to ask this person to say everything he needs to say on the spot.”

"Do we have to let this person go?" Su Liao was puzzled. "We finally caught him. If we just leave him alone without asking any questions, wouldn't we be putting the cart before the horse?"

"When did I say I would leave him alone?" Chen Zhi shook his head and laughed, "What I mean is that this kind of interrogation work must be left to professionals. We are asking here, but we can't ask anything. Yes, as the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts, but if you try to persuade a Xianbei person like this, it will be of no use. You have to have someone who is proficient in interrogation to gain anything."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around him showed surprise.

When Chen Zhi saw it, he smiled and said: "What? You think you want to interrogate me personally just because I can say a few words about Xianbei? What I said was just to find out a little reason first, and I had a certain understanding in my heart. The rest is... We also need to let professionals come.”

He spoke lightly, but it made others feel weird. How could they not know that these so-called professionals are more ruthless than the other, and they are all ruthless characters. The so-called interrogation is even more difficult for people to look directly at. This kind of torture tool can make people not die. In the end, through repeated torture, the desired information can be obtained from the prisoner's mouth. For the court and all forces, interrogating people is indispensable.

You must know that this kind of interrogation is often passed down from family. The ancestors have done the same actions for generations, so they have rich experience, especially the ability to use torture. They clearly grasp the endurance limit of the human body, and can torture and torture people. It is not easy to grasp the right balance without risking your life.

On the other hand, this kind of professionally trained interrogator is also good at synthesizing and sorting out information. He will not blindly believe the information revealed by the prisoner. He will repeatedly ask some questions, understand the contradictions, and then obtain confirmation from the prisoner's mouth. , allowing people to say as many words as possible in extreme emotions.

This requires the interrogator to think logically and answer certain requirements.

Of course, there are not many interrogators in Xinhan who can meet so many abilities at the same time.

"I hope our Daijun interrogator can give me a surprise," Chen Zhi said, and with a wave of his hand, he had the Xianbei man who was struggling to be taken away. "I don't ask for much, so let this It’s enough if someone tells him [-]% of the information he knows about the tribe’s soldiers and horses.”

When others heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this goal was difficult to achieve.

Chen Zhi did not continue to struggle with this issue, and arranged the issue of interleaving and adapting Wu Ding's teams. This was originally part of the plan, in order to eliminate the influence of the major families on Wu Ding, and then enhance their control. .

Because the temporary arrest of Wu Jie caused the family to waver, Chen Zhi advanced this step. This is actually quite challenging, because the temporary change of troops will have a great impact on the army's combat effectiveness, and it is likely to cause huge combat effectiveness. Many people think that this move before the war is too hasty.

So after everyone else had exited, Su Liao stood by and reminded: "Prefect, although the threat from the aristocratic family is imminent and unavoidable, once he knows that the Xianbei tribe has sneaked into Youzhou and covets Daijun, he will also You will understand the overall situation and won’t go too far.”

"Yes, once this news is revealed, those aristocratic families with different intentions will indeed change their minds and even send some of the remaining Wu Ding over, but I'm tired of it," Chen Zhi shook his head and said expressionlessly, "We are about to face the Xianbei people and even the Huns. Then there will be even more turbulence and everything is going on. However, I still have to take care of the internal families and scheming with them. It is difficult to go all out, so I will take advantage of this opportunity. Cut off the tentacles of the noble family."

He saw the worried look on Su Liao's face and knew what he was thinking, so he said: "You don't have to worry, it hasn't been long since these Wu Ding gathered. What I asked them to do was just march in formation. I wanted to shape them to obey orders." In fact, tempering your temper and tempering your will does not involve much battle formation drills, and it is not considered a combat strength at all. Even if it is disrupted and rearranged, it is nothing more than that. I will teach the real formation in the completed battlefield performance. them."

"Isn't this a little too urgent?" Su Liao said this, but he also knew that he could not reverse Chen Zhi's will, so he changed the topic and said: "In addition, I have something that I hope the Lord can think about. "

"Say." Su Liao paused and then said: "The Xianbei people have time. From today's little scout, we can see that the people of the Xianbei tribe are not easy people, or are the masters of tigers and wolves. In fact, Daijun's soldiers and horses did not actually engage in actual combat with the Hu people. Before the Huns entered the country, the Lord surrendered his troops without fighting, frightening the Huns' cavalry away. Then they lost their troops and fell into the hands of Tuoba Xianbei's soldiers and horses. , so the actual combat power is not yet known. If it is difficult to control, then Lord, you must make plans early."

"What do you mean, you want me to leave a way out?" Chen Zhi asked back. Seeing that Su Liao's expression was a bit unnatural, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, worrying about defeat before winning is the right thing to do. Besides, you The person he is talking about is not an invisible person. If nothing else, let’s just say that there are many visitors from Luoyang gathered in this city. These people have a lot of connections behind them. If something happens, they must be able to escape. That's all, so the arrangement of this escape route is indispensable, you can rest assured that the plan will be clear."

Su Liao heard another meaning from the words: "So, my lord, do you really plan to drag Luoyang and the people from the south until the war? The impact of this will probably be bad."

"The one who had the bad influence was Wang Jun." The smile on Chen Zhi's face disappeared. "Originally, Wang Jun planned and participated in this matter from beginning to end, and he did not inform the court. If something happened, , with a little bit of digging, things can be sorted out and clarified.”

The two of them were still talking when suddenly someone came from outside and informed Chen Zhi of the news. The Daijun prefect immediately showed joy. He stood up from his seat and walked outside.

"Now that Dongfeng has arrived, everything is really ready, except for the final battle formation that has yet to be taught."

He walked while talking, and when he got out, Chen Zhi saw a few people standing on the road ahead, the leader was a familiar and tall figure, if it wasn't his clan brother Chen Zi, who was it?

"Qiao Xing, you are finally back." Chen Zhi walked up quickly and looked at the two people behind Chen Zi, "Who are these two?"

"I'm here to introduce my elder brother. This is Ji Jue, and this is Ruan Qing. I met these two on the way. They have long admired the name of elder brother, so they came here specially!"

"Oh?" Chen Zhi looked surprised at the two people behind Chen Zi, and then waved his hands, "This is not a place to talk, Qiao Xing, please come inside first."

Chen Zi still had a tired look on his face. He went south this time, ostensibly to transport the raw materials needed for papermaking, but actually to collect grain, grass, soldiers, and medicinal materials for Chen Zhi, and he also wandered around Luoyang on the way. Really hard work and running around.

Now that he is back, it seems that he has completed what Chen Zhi asked him to do. Unexpectedly, he also brought two people with him.

Without asking in detail, Chen Zhi could more or less guess their origins just by looking at Chen Zi's attitude towards the two of them and their last names.

"I'm afraid these two are also sage queens. They just don't know how much talent and knowledge they have, and whether they can help me."

Although newcomers are welcome to join him, Chen Zhi's main focus at the moment is still on Wu Ding's reorganization and arranging the materials brought back by Chen Zhi. Therefore, he briefly met with Na Ji Gui and Ruan Qing and arranged for the two of them to settle down. Come down and wait for two days to discuss in detail.

In the next two days, he was busy again, and the atmosphere inside and outside Dai County gradually became more solemn.

At the same time, in the Great Thorn City near the northeast, a carriage, supported by several riders, slowly drove into the city.

Soon, Murong Hao, with a solemn expression, came out in person.

The person sitting in the carriage was none other than He Jing. He got out of the carriage and after greeting Murong Huang, he was about to talk about what he had seen and heard in Daijun during this period, but Murong Huang stopped him first and then pointed. Pointing to the back, he said: "Sir, please don't be too busy talking. Shanyu is waiting for us. You just happened to be back. Let's go there together so we can come up with some ideas."

"Oh? I wonder what's the reason?" A thought came to He Jing's mind and he asked aloud.

Murong Huang sighed and said, "It's about whether to start the war in advance."
