Intelligence battalion, Han Cheng modeled after the intelligence agency established by Jinyiwei.

Internally, it can supervise officials and families to prevent civil strife; It can spy and collect intelligence from the outside world; In wartime, it can infiltrate the enemy and act as an 'internal response' to capture the city.

Since the intelligence battalion shined in the first battle of Qixian, the upper echelons of the Fenwu Army knew the importance of the intelligence battalion, and Han Cheng increased the investment in the construction of the intelligence battalion.

After several months of personnel selection and training, the number of personnel in the intelligence battalion has also increased, and it has reached more than 1,000 people.

The 'number one' of the intelligence battalion remains unchanged, and it is still Han Feng, that is, Li Ru.

Under Li Ru, there were two Sima from other departments, as the 'second and third leaders' of the intelligence battalion, to handle the daily affairs of the intelligence battalion.

There are two reasons for setting up Sima in other departments: First, because Li Ru is often 'arrested by Han Cheng', many urgent affairs of the intelligence battalion will be delayed; second, promotion is also a reward for meritorious personnel of the intelligence battalion.

Therefore, Bai Hua, who has made many meritorious contributions and is expected in the intelligence battalion, served as one of the other Simas, and was called Zuo Sima by the people in the intelligence battalion;

And Liu Li, who has worked hard since the establishment of the intelligence battalion and has the strong support of the Liu family behind him, served as another Sima of another department, and was called the right Sima by the people of the intelligence battalion.

Under Sima of the other department, there were four military candidates - Liu Fu, Qin Fang, Zhang Yun, and Wang Que.

Liu Fu is Liu Li's younger brother, although he is also an 'old man' who has worked hard since the establishment of the intelligence battalion, but because his ability is a little worse, his accumulated military merits are only a position of military waiter.

Qin Fang and Zhang Yun are particularly outstanding people in the intelligence battalion, and their accumulated military merits have been promoted to this position.

As for the last Wang Que, he is the son of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Since joining the intelligence battalion, under the premise of his own outstanding ability, and with the great help of the Taiyuan Wang family, he has always completed the task very well every time, and has been deeply valued by Li Ru, so he has quickly become a military candidate of the intelligence battalion.

Han Cheng asked Li Ru to send someone to Chang'an to contact Li Dao, and the first choice in Li Ru's heart was the military candidate Wang Qian.

After Li Ru said goodbye to Han Cheng and returned home, he quickly wrote a letter and called Wang Que to hand it over to him.

Let him personally send it to the general's mansion in Chang'an and hand it over to Li Dao in person; After the matter was completed, he went to Guo Bi's mansion and revealed the news of Lu Bu's presence in Shangdang County to Guo Bi.

Five days later, in a side hall of the Chang'an General's Mansion, Li Wei sat in his position, but Wang Que stood aside respectfully.

Li Dao, the word is childish. I don't know who gave him the words, how to read it, there is a natural and cute feeling.

The current Li Dao is not as powerful as Dong Zhuo back then; But he is very content, because he does not have Dong Zhuo's ambition to dominate the world.

He has his own characteristics - as long as the powerful princes don't come to fight me, let me enjoy life in Chang'an.

Whatever official you want, I'll give you whatever official, but the premise is that you can't come and beat me.

It was Li Dao's 'easy talking' choice that led to Li Dao's longer stay in Chang'an than Dong Zhuo in history.

After reading the letter, Li Dao arrogantly said to Wang Que: "I know about this matter. You go back and tell Han Cheng that I can ask the emperor to make him the pastor of the state, but he must not attack Sizhou according to what the letter says. If there is any disobedience, I will let him know the power of the 'Xiliang Iron Rider'. ”

Li Wei's arrogant attitude originated from the Xiliang army.

Liangzhou and Bingzhou, as the main places to defend against ethnic minorities in the north of the Han Dynasty, the army fought all year round, and the soldiers were extremely brave.

The Xiliang soldiers have always looked down on the soldiers of Bingzhou, the reason is that the soldiers of Bingzhou are not as brave as the soldiers of Xiliang, and the Xiliang Army is known as the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", while the Bingzhou Army can only be called "Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry".

The difference in names also represents the difference in strength. Therefore, Li Dao's attitude towards Wang Que is very arrogant, precisely because Li Dao simply looks down on the state army.

Originally, Li Dao didn't want Han Cheng to become the pastor of the state, but because Li Ru had a good relationship with Li Dao, for the sake of Li Ru's letter, Li Dao introduced Han Cheng as a foreign aid in the north and canonized him as the pastor of the state.

Wang Que knows the way of observing words and feelings, and knows that the more arrogant people are, the easier it is to be satisfied.

He replied respectfully: "I must remember the words of the general and go back to tell my lord." ”

The sentence 'general' made Li Dao at a loss, "This kid can speak." "I don't care so much about Han Cheng becoming the pastor of the state.

After a cup of tea, Wang Que left the General's Mansion, so he hurriedly arranged for people to return to Taiyuan County and tell Han Cheng the good news.

After Wang Que saw the messenger leave, he personally rushed to Guo Yan's mansion to meet Guo Yan.

In Guo Yan's mansion, Wang Que not only brought all Li Ru's words, but also added fuel and vinegar. It took two hours to come out, and when I came out, it was already dark and the moon and stars were scarce.

Wang Que looked at the silent surroundings and said in his heart: "Finally, I have lived up to the trust of the captain and completed this matter." And he went back to his lodging with joy and rested.

Three days later, in the mansion of the general of Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan were drinking and having fun.

Since the power of the imperial court was in the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan and Fan Chou, Li Dao often entertained Guo Yan in the general's mansion, and sometimes even left Guo Yan to stay in the general's mansion, and selected beautiful maids to serve Guo Yan.

The reason for this is because Li Wei and Guo Yan have a good relationship in private, and secondly, to win over Guo Yan and isolate Fan Chou.

After all, in the Xiliang Army, Fan Chou fought bravely and won the support of the soldiers, and Li Wei had long been suspicious of him.

But at today's banquet, Guo Yan was different from usual, a little absent-minded.

Since Wang Que, the envoy of the state, met with Guo Bi and revealed the news of Lu Bu to Guo Bi, Guo Bi's mind was on Lu Bu.

Guo Yan, born as a horse thief, although in the world of horse thieves, the strong are respected and will not let hatred stay overnight, but the situation that can't be beaten is another matter.

Lu Bu is this kind of situation that can't be beaten for Guo Yan.

But now it's different, Guo Yan has become a general who holds the power of the imperial court, and Lu Bu is just a 'lost dog' who runs around.

Therefore, for the current Guo Yan, the most important thing is to find Lu Bu and take revenge.

After all, as soon as he thought of the name Lu Bu, Guo Yan's left shoulder ached faintly.

Guo Yan wants to let Lu Bu know the consequences of injuring himself, and by the way, let the world know how powerful Guo Bi is now.

Li Wei saw that Guo Yan was absent-minded, and said softly: "Brother Guo, what's wrong today." Is the wine not good? Or can't you dance beautifully? Just say it, and I'll replace them right away. Here's a new batch for you. ”

Guo Yan had no city in his chest, and said to Li Dao defenselessly: "Brother Zhiran, the wine is good, and the people are also very beautiful. But the main reason why I'm in a bad mood today is Lu Bu, I got the news from Lu Bu a few days ago. ”

'Lu Bu', Li Dao is also very familiar with this name, after all, he is a former boss and enemy.

There is no deep hatred between Li Dao and Lu Bu, but Li Dao knows that Guo Bi has it, and Li Dao said in his heart: "This is a good time to buy people's hearts!" ”

continued to look soft, and said to Guo Yan: "This is the case! Brother Guo, where do you say that Lu Bu, the 'lost dog', is now? We ordered the local county magistrate to capture it and send it to Brother Guo at his disposal. ”

Guo Yan was waiting for Li Dao's words, and said: "Brother Zhiran, the news I got is that Lu Bu is in the Zhangyang Office of Shangdang County in Bingzhou. ”

Li Dao did not connect this matter with Wang Que's visit to him a few days ago, and continued:

"Brother Guo rest assured, this matter will be handed over to Brother Wei. I'll send someone to Zhang Yang's place to ask for Lu Bu. Brother Guo only needs to drink wine quietly and watch the beauties dance in my general's mansion, and within a few days, he will be able to see Lu Bu who is waiting to die. ”

Guo Yan came today to obtain Li Dao's consent, although the three of them are in power together, but Li Dao is still the main body, and when issuing the order of the imperial court, it is best to let Li Dao know.

Guo Yan saw that Li Dao had taken it down, and with a grateful face, he said to Li Dao: "Then I'll thank Brother Zhiran first, come!" I salute my childish brother. ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand. In Li Wei's heart, this was just a trivial matter, so he clinked glasses with Guo Yan and drank it.

After the banquet, he casually arranged for a person to go to Zhang Yang in Shangdang County to ask for Lu Bu.

......

Zhang Yang is the most powerful 'wall grass' prince in this era, and I will mix with whoever has power.

In the Dong Zhuo era, Dong Zhuo was promoted and obtained the positions of Hanoi Taishou and Shangdang Taishou, and he justifiably owned the two counties of Shangdang County and Hanoi County.

Zhang Yang also wants to work hard and dominate the world; However, after making some efforts, he found that he could not dominate the world.

Because of his territory, the forces facing him to the east were Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou.

To the west is the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops occupying Chang'an, and to the north is the Fenwu army, which is on par with the ethnic minorities.

Therefore, Zhang Yang gave up his dream of dominating the world, and just wanted to find someone to take refuge in.

As a result, the 'big brother Zhang Yang' took refuge in Yuan Shao, Jizhou, the most powerful at this time.

Lu Bu first took refuge in Yuan Shu after leaving Chang'an, but because Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with his own merits and was very arrogant, he wanted to kill Lu Bu, so Lu Bu led more than 100 people from Yuan Shu to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang and Lu Bu are both from the state, Zhang Yang is from Yunzhong County, and Lu Bu is from Wuyuan County.

When Ding Yuan was in power, the relationship between the two was very good, and Zhang Yang was very happy to see Lu Bu coming to vote.

However, after not being happy for a few days, Li Dao of Chang'an sent an envoy to ask for Lu Bu.

Zhang Yang knew what happened between Lu Bu and Li Dao and Guo Yan, and knew the consequences of Lu Bu going to Chang'an.

Although all the generals under him persuaded Zhang Yang to kill Lu Bu in exchange for the favor of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Yang was reluctant to do so.

When Lu Bu heard about it, he said to Zhang Yang: "If you kill me, it won't do you any good now, it's better for you to hand me over to Li Dao and Guo Yan alive, so that you can also get more favor." ”

Zhang Yang felt that Lu Bu's words reminded him of a plan: so, Zhang Yang ostensibly promised Li Dao and Guo Yan, but in fact he did not send anyone to arrest Lu Bu, so as to achieve the purpose of indirectly protecting Lu Bu.

Li Wei waited left and right in Chang'an City, but Zhang Yang never sent someone to send Lu Bu over. Seven days after the envoy returned, he had not seen Lu Bu's figure, and Li Dao said angrily: "Zhang Yang, you erector actually lied to me. Then he remembered that the soldiers attacked Zhang Yang.

Although Li Dao's political consciousness is not very high, he is a good hand at leading troops to fight, and he knows that the place where Zhang Yang is located in Hanoi is a place surrounded by enemies, and he will not get the benefits he deserves by attacking this place by himself.

When he was gathering troops, he remembered Jia Xu and ordered someone to call Jia Xu to ask for advice.

After Jia Xu heard what happened, he gave Li Dao a plan to 'borrow a knife to kill people': "Let the imperial court remove the flamboyant Shangdang Taishou and Hanoi Taishou from their posts, and not appoint anyone as Hanoi Taishou." ”

Jia Xu's plan is very poisonous! As soon as this plan came out, Hanoi County was like a piece of delicious 'big fat meat', which was put in front of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, allowing the two parties to compete for Hanoi County.
