Although Cao Cao's secret visit to Dong Cheng was secretive, he couldn't hide the tracking of people with intentions, and the reason why Pei Qing was able to control Chang'an City was not only because of his strong military strength, but also because he had already secretly cultivated a group of secret agents, and the main person in charge of this group of secret agents was Hu Kongming, one of the two major Kongming of the Three Kingdoms - Hu Zhao.

Because when detecting Hu Zhao's genes, Pei Qing found that Hu Zhao's ability was really not covered, strategist-type talent, force 32, command 51, intelligence 96, internal affairs 91, the characteristic is Tao Hui, the characteristic effect, when hiding his wisdom, the chance of not being seen through is increased by fifty, and when cultivating secret agent or spy talents, the intelligence of the cultivated talent is increased by an additional 10 points (the upper limit is not more than 90), and the probability of the cultivated spy or spy not being seen through is increased by fifty percent.

In other words, this Hu Zhao is naturally suitable for cultivating and training spies and spies, which is simply a genius given to him by God!

This time, he set up control at the door of Dong Cheng's house and investigated Cao Cao's whereabouts, which was the first test of the secret agents cultivated by Hu Zhao.

"This Cao Cao went to look for Dong Cheng in the middle of the night, what was his idea?" After listening to Hu Zhao's report to him, Pei Qing pondered for a moment, and then said to himself.

"Since this Cao Cao is a secret visit late at night, there must be some scheme, and the lower official judges that it must be aimed at the lord, in this way, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, although Dong Cheng is also a hero of the Han Dynasty and the emperor, but he has always been jealous of the lord, Cao Cao has secretly confronted the lord several times, so this time to visit Dong Cheng, it is definitely to implement a plan that is not conducive to the lord through Dong Cheng, and it is not difficult to guess what this unfavorable plan is, Cao Cao occupied Luoyang before, and did not hesitate to rob the tomb to repair Luoyang, Obviously, it is to lure the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and now he is looking for Dong Cheng, he must want the Son of Heaven to move to Luoyang, so that they can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the Son of Heaven has a weak temperament, and has often shown homesickness recently, if the Son of Heaven knows that the Luoyang palace has been repaired and perfected, he will definitely propose to move the capital to Luoyang, and at that time, if the lord blocks it, he will definitely fall into the point of injustice, but if he does not stop it, he can only watch Cao Cao coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy a great political advantage. ”

"What Kong Ming said is reasonable." Pei Qing listened to Hu Zhao's words and immediately nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a cruel smile: "It's okay if I don't know about this, but now that I know, how could I let him rob the Son of Heaven so easily?" Even if the Son of Heaven moves to Luoyang, this Luoyang can only be my territory, although Cao Cao has the ability, but he also underestimates me Pei Qing too much. ”

However, he saw that Hu Zhao was silent for a moment, and then seemed to have something to say, but he opened his mouth and did not speak, looking at Pei Qing's left and right attendants.

Pei Qing smiled faintly: "Mr. has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, these are my most loyal soldiers, and they will never reveal Mr.'s secrets." ”

After hearing this, the left and right attendants were immediately moved to tears, they knew that since Hu Zhao said so, this must be the most private words, Pei Qing even let them listen to these words, which shows his trust in them.

However, they can't be ignorant of advancing and retreating, for fear that they will reveal their secrets in some situation, so the best way to keep secrets is, of course, not knowing, so they take the initiative to bow down and withdraw.

When Hu Zhao saw these people like this, and saw Pei Qing's previous words of trust in the left and right attendants, he immediately admired in his heart, he really met the Ming Lord.

After the left and right attendants left, Hu Zhao whispered to Pei Qing: "Please forgive the official for saying a disrespectful word, will the lord be satisfied with the current state?" Or are you satisfied with your current status? ”

"This ......" Pei Qing suddenly felt a little hesitant when he heard this, of course he was not willing to only have his current status, this is not only because his ambition is expanding, but also because today's big Han has actually existed in name only, the little emperor has a cowardly personality, and he can't lead the world at all, if he wants to reunify the world, he still needs to pay more, not to mention, since Pei Qing is from the later generations, since Pei Qing has a gene pool of famous generals, how can he only focus on the big Han? His eyes will be on Central Asia, West Asia, Europe, the Japanese Kingdom, the Americas and other places, and such an ambition, the little emperor simply cannot realize it for himself.

But it is inconvenient for him to say such words, after all, he is in the name of loyalty to the world, if he directly shows his ambition, I really don't know how many of these people under his command will continue to maintain loyalty to him.

However, Pei Qing also overestimated the integrity of the people at that time, or underestimated the IQ of the people at that time, in fact, although after the deposition of Confucianism, the Confucian thought has been widely spread, but most of the people's integrity is far from reaching the point of disregarding life and death for the sake of morality in the Song and Ming dynasties, and even in the Song and Ming dynasties, there are many people who advertise on the surface, and many people still choose to surrender when it comes to life and death, such as Hong Chengchou, who flaunted his loyalty and righteousness at the end of the Ming Dynasty. There are also Qian Qianyi, Hou Fangyu, Chen Mingxia and others from the Donglin Party.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people are loyal and would rather die than give in, thus becoming the pillar of the Chinese spirit, but from another point of view, because there are few people, this spirit is more valuable, especially in the war period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who can do this.

Most of them are normal people, and they also know how to choose and choose, and they will also make choices that are beneficial to themselves when facing a desperate situation, such as Yu Ban, the head of the five good generals, will also choose to surrender in the face of Guan Yu's attack, and other people such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei and others also surrendered, and even Guan Yu also chose to surrender Cao Cao, and later proposed to surrender after being captured by Sun Quan in Jiangdong, but because Sun Quan couldn't believe it, he killed him.

So it's not that Pei Qinghu's body can make the world's heroes swear to the death, the main reason is that he now has the corresponding strength and status, and it is a matter of course to be able to get the world's celebrities to follow, but Pei Qing has no confidence in himself, and at the same time he is worried about Liu Ning's feelings, so he has never expressed his ambitions.

But who is Hu Zhao? This is today's most intelligent person, the most able to perceive the world, of course he understands that the Han has existed in name only, in this case it is simply impossible to support the building in generals, if Pei Qing leads the army to calm the world and hand over all the power to the little emperor, then he has only one ending, that is, he will be killed by the emperor, and in this way, the world will only fall into chaos again.

Therefore, there is only one way to save the world at present, that is, to be replaced by Pei Qing, and he Hu Zhao put forward this initiative for the first time and pledged his allegiance to Pei Qing.

So Hu Zhao bowed directly and said: "The lord should understand that although he is smart today, he has a weak temperament, he can only be the king of peace, and he can't dominate the world at all. If the lord is willing to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, the lord should naturally stop the conspiracy of Cao Cao and Dong Cheng, but if the lord wants to go further, it is better to plan and let the Son of Heaven go to Luoyang. ”

"Huh? Why is that? Didn't I blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes more favorable to me? Pei Qing couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked directly.
