Chapter 834: Intelligence
Not long after Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses had just occupied Xiapi City, Dian Wei immediately sent someone to hurriedly report important news to Liu Zheng.
"Your Majesty, important information!"
Dian Wei took two brocade guards, hurriedly approached, leaned into Liu Zheng's ear, and whispered to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zhengzheng was happy because he won Xiapi City. At this time, after hearing Dian Wei say something in his ear, his expression immediately became solemn.
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, our people have detected quite a few spies outside Xiapi City."
"Spies? Who are the spies? ”
Liu Zheng became even more curious when he heard what Dian Wei said, and immediately asked again.
Dian Wei shook his head.
"It's not clear who it is for the time being, but I've already asked people to arrest two of them, and Your Majesty can interrogate them personally."
Dian Wei's speed was very fast, and he had just reported to Liu Zheng that he had found a lot of spies outside Xiapi City, and it didn't take long for his subordinates to walk in with two people.
These two people are Dian Wei and let his Jinyi guards catch two of the spies who were cowering outside the city.
Dian Wei's Jinyi Guards are good at inquiring about intelligence and spying on military intelligence, and these spies under Yuan Shao outside the city, although they are also specialized in these things, how can they avoid the eyes and ears of these Jinyi Guards under Dian Wei.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao secretly dispatched these spies to prepare to spy on Liu Zheng's side, they were already noticed by a large number of Jinyi guards sent out by Dian Wei.
After these brocade guards noticed that there were suddenly a lot of spies outside the city, they immediately reported to Dian Wei, who naturally realized that something was wrong, so he immediately asked people to catch the two spies and come back, and at the same time personally reported these situations to Liu Zheng.
This is now, Liu Zheng looked at the two enemy spies in front of him.
"Who are you?"
After Liu Zheng looked at the two enemy spies, he asked them casually.
Obviously, these two people did not fully explain their identities because of Liu Zheng's words, and at the same time as Liu Zheng asked, they didn't pay attention to Liu Zheng at all, and the two looked like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water.
He doesn't speak, and he doesn't confess his identity.
Seeing this appearance, Liu Zheng knew that they were also people with some backbone.
When encountering this kind of thing, Liu Zheng was still very concerned in the past, and he would definitely interrogate these people personally, after all, after a beating, even the hardest man couldn't bear to tell his identity, just asking for a good time, but now Liu Zheng, who is really expensive, will rarely participate in this kind of thing.
After seeing that these people didn't intend to tell Liu Zheng his identity, Liu Zheng didn't bother to tell them more.
Turning his head, he glanced at Dian Wei, and then commanded Dian Wei.
"Dian Wei, go and call Zhang Min. Let these two men be interrogated by him. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dian Wei immediately took the order, and at the same time took these two enemy spies to find Zhang Min, preparing to let Zhang Min interrogate these two people.
Zhang Min is another commander in Liu Zhengjin's clothes, and his responsibilities are different from Dian Wei's, Zhang Min is specifically responsible for assassination, spying, interrogation, and other work.
For the interrogation of enemy spies, Zhang Min is too familiar with it.
Therefore, Liu Zheng was too lazy to bother, and directly handed over the person to Zhang Min to deal with, he only needed to wait for the results presented by Zhang Min.
Zhang Min's hands and feet were quick and fast, and not long after Liu Zhengcai asked Dian Wei to take people down, the results of the interrogation had already come out.
When Zhang Min handed over the interrogated information to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng finally knew who these spies were.
These people couldn't bear Zhang Min's little leather whip, and they had already explained everything in a few strokes.
and told Liu Zheng that they were Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, and were ordered by Wen Chou to observe the battle between Liu Zheng and Liu Bei here, but before they could find out the news, they were noticed by Dian Wei's men, and they were arrested by the trick.
After Liu Zheng learned that these people were Yuan Shao's people, it was only then that he remembered Yuan Shao's guy.
He originally thought that Yuan Shao, who was at a disadvantage in the battle with Liu Zheng, should not have so many ideas to do other things at the moment, and should honestly stay in Tan County and recuperate.
But now that Liu Zheng knows that Yuan Shao is sending spies to find out the situation between Picheng and Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng understands that Yuan Shao, a thief, must be plotting something.
Otherwise, he would not have sent so many scouts to Xiapicheng to inquire about the news, and his purpose of inquiring about the news was very simple, that is, he wanted to grasp as much as possible about the battle between Liu Zheng and Liu Bei.
"Lord, then Yuan Shao sent a large number of spies this time, and I know from these two people that there are at least hundreds of people scattered around Xiapi City, and the actions of our army should be controlled by Yuan Shao's men."
Zhang Min said a little more and told Liu Zheng what he had discovered.
Liu Zheng's face was gloomy when he heard Zhang Min's words, as if he was thinking about something.
"Yuan Shao, this guy must be uneasy and kind, he sent someone over to inquire about the news so diligently, he must have taken action, Zhang Min, you immediately let your spies pay close attention to the situation in Tan County, and report to me immediately if there is a slight disturbance!"
Although Liu Zheng didn't know what Yuan Shao wanted to do for the time being, Liu Zheng knew that Yuan Shao must be uneasy and kind, and there would be actions against him secretly.
At this time, Liu Zheng wanted to deal with Liu Bei first, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Yuan Shao, and on the surface, Liu Zheng was still temporarily ally with Yuan Shao.
The two of them discussed together to deal with the imperial court, if Liu Zheng directly tore his face now, it would not be good, although Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao were not all the way, but they didn't want to completely turn their faces with Yuan Shao, so they still had to maintain this short-term alliance.
But if Yuan Shao doesn't know how to lift and wants to tear his face first, then Liu Zheng doesn't mind, and gives Yuan Shao a painful lesson first.
In this way, Liu Zheng sent people to keep an eye on Yuan Shao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he began to rectify the people in Picheng and set his sights on Xuzhou City.
Xuzhou City is still what Liu Zheng wants most, after all, Xuzhou is Liu Bei's base camp, only by defeating Liu Bei can he completely control this Xuzhou, and then Liu Zheng can also free up his hands to deal with Yuan Shao.
Right now, near Xuzhou City, there are 20,000 troops of Wenpin, who are confronting Liu Bei's men and horses, Liu Zheng only needs to take the soldiers and horses here in Xiapicheng to support Wenpin, and everything should be settled.
He only rested in Xiapi City for two days, and after two days, he took people and went straight to the location of Wenpin's army.
