"Does the lord know that in the past few years since we occupied Yanzhou, how many Jiangdong spies have been captured under our command?"

"How much?" Cao Cao asked.

"More than a dozen people." Xun Yu said softly.

"What's wrong with that?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "That's right, there are only more than 20 spies of Liu Bei and Yuan Shaofang caught under our command, and there is not much difference in number. But Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's intelligence system is not integrated at all, and Yuan Shao's focus is in Youzhou, while Liu Bei is in Jiangdong, and their spies under our command are no more than a few dozen. The more than 20 people caught by Yu were basically grabbed by a tongue and chased all the way up. ”

"As for Jiangdong's intelligence organization in Yanzhou, according to Yu's awareness, it is not less than three shares, and the total number is nearly 1,000 people, and many hotels, green houses and merchants in our territory are inextricably linked with it."

Cao Cao gasped when he heard this, and said angrily with red eyes: "Then why don't you arrest it?" ”

"How to catch?" Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Lord, it's not that Yu is incompetent and timid, but that he can't catch it at all." All the families and merchants under our command are basically involved, and if we really arrest them, not to mention eliminating the spies, we will have to mess up all the borders. You can't catch this at all! ”

Xun Yu was called my son's house by Cao Cao, and his ability can be called the contemporary Xiao He, but he can't stand Yuan Shu's internal affairs ability! Everyone can see the current situation in Jiangdong, as long as they are connected with Yuan Shu, as long as they have a little bit of contact with Jiangdong, it will definitely be a lot of money and countless benefits. Yuan Shu's reputation is better than that of the God of Wealth, and these family merchants are simply too normal at both ends of snakes and mice.

It's not that they betray Cao Cao openly, nor do they go against Cao, it's just that they secretly take care of some little people and find out some news, what is it? What if Cao Cao found out. The law does not blame the public, is it possible for Cao Cao to be sentenced to such a small crime? These people did it without fear, and they didn't take Xun Yu's warning to heart at all.

"Then can't you choose a group of people to directly convict them and make an example of them? Wouldn't it be even more presumptuous for these people to be so hesitant? Leak the secrets of our army today, and tomorrow he may dare to assassinate my Cao Cao! Cao Cao said angrily. The seemingly powerful forces under his command were so full of holes, which really made him feel frightened, and Cao Cao, who was frightened, instantly became furious.

"What the lord said is very true, and Yu also thought so. But the biggest problem now is that we can't find any evidence. Xun Yu said abruptly.

"The spies under Yuan Highway are all single-line contacts from top to bottom, and these people are extremely loyal, and most of them committed suicide as soon as they were arrested. was restrained by our army in advance, and the people who were secretly guarding were silent one by one, and soon after they were killed by Yuan Shu's spies, and the people who went to kill them also committed suicide on the spot. Xi Zhicai defended Xun Yu.

"So far, we have never heard anything from these people. Those who were captured were discovered at great cost by a certain spy, for which dozens of spies under a certain command have died in assassination. Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai felt a little distressed in his heart.

Cao Cao was not as wealthy as Yuan Shu, and the funds he gave to Xi Zhicai were extremely limited. The number of spies cultivated by Xi Zhicai is only more than 200, and this time he cut off a small half, and Xi Zhicai is really distressed in his heart.

Cao Cao also seemed to see Xi Zhicai's thoughts, and said solemnly: "Zhicai, if you are given a lot of money and food, you must create a huge intelligence network, and you must not let Yuan Shu be beautiful!" ”

A fire in Chang'an changed a lot of Cao Cao's thoughts. If Cao Cao did not attach much importance to intelligence in the past, the reason why the intelligence organization was established was only to fight against Yuan Shu. However, after the First World War in Chang'an, Cao Cao directly changed his attitude and longed for a large and tight intelligence organization.

Everything that Jia Xu's spies did in Chang'an was really quiet, but there were flaws after all. How much time and effort did it take to transport such a large amount of oil from transportation to spreading? No matter how secret it is, the movement will not be too small.

If Cao Cao had a powerful intelligence organization as powerful as Yuan Shu at that time, he would definitely have found some clues. Then he will always notice that something is wrong, and Cao Cao will not be so careless and enter Chang'an directly.

After this bloody lesson, Cao Cao knew the importance of intelligence. The asymmetry of information has kept him calculated, and he has no power to fight back. Every action of oneself is known in advance by the other party, and the other party's actions are unknown to him.

"Thank you, my lord!" Xi Zhicai said with surprise on his face. Although the intelligence organization under his command is still relatively complete, it is indeed too rudimentary. With Cao Cao's strong support, he is confident that he will build a black ice platform that belongs to Cao Cao.

"My lord, that's not the point of so-and-so." Feeling that the topic was biased, Xun Yu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh, Wen Ruo, you go on."

Xun Yu took a deep breath: "The focus is on the side first, Yu wants to ask the lord first, how do you plan to deal with the Jiangdong spies in our territory." ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly: "Didn't so-and-so say it?" Punish someone as a warning to others! A certain Cao Mengde is by no means a compromising person, no matter who dares to fornicate with Jiangdong, there is only a dead end. ”

"What is the Lord going to do?"

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold tone: "Since we can't come up with evidence, let's fake it." Some people have long wanted to clean it up, so they just take the opportunity to reuse it. ”

Cao Cao has always been a ruthless person. I'd rather bear others than rest others bear me, this is desolate, but it also reflects the viciousness in the heart of a peerless hero. He doesn't care at all about the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases and the loss of innocent people, as long as it is conducive to his great cause, he dares to do anything vicious.

"The lord is wise!" Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were not surprised when they heard this, and said in unison. This is also the method they came up with, Yuan Shu is indeed airtight, and he doesn't drill any loopholes for them. However, there are many problems on the side of the businessmen, as long as they use some means and change the general trend, they can take advantage of the trend and easily solve them.

"Well, this matter will be left to Zhicai, you can solve it." Cao Cao said. Compared with Xun Yu, who is a humble gentleman and has some women's benevolence, with Cao Cao as the core, he has no two hearts and acts without scruples, and he is obviously more suitable for doing this kind of shady thing.

"No!"

"Wen Ruo, you go on."

Xun Yu opened the piece he had gathered with the information he had discovered, and said solemnly: "There are countless spies under Yuan Shu's command, and those we have arrested are just some of the lowest ones, so loyal and not afraid of death. Don't you think it's strange, my lord? ”

Xi Zhicai continued: "Not bad. There are only two possibilities, either these people were exposed to Yuan Highway's calculations, but these people did not provide any misleading information, which is not true. Then there is only the second possibility..."

"What?"

"Yuan Highway has a way to efficiently and massively find out people's loyalty or morality." Xi Zhicai said solemnly.

"Do you understand what this means?" Xun Yu sighed lightly.
