"I didn't expect this person from the Yuwen Department to leave like this."

After meeting Chen Zhi for the second time, Mo Qianhun went back to discuss with the Yuwen people who came with him, and left the next day, looking at their distant figures, Tong Hai, who had just arrived in Jixian County, couldn't help but sigh.

But after sighing, he immediately cleaned up his mood, sorted out the information here, recorded the direction and distance of the group of people leaving, arranged for people to continue to follow up, and went back to report to Chen Zhi.

When he arrived at Chen Zhi's side, he had already summarized the information and submitted it.

Chen Zhi took it and looked at it, nodded, and said: "Mo Qianhun and they go back this time, they should be able to convince Yuwen Yidou to return, if not, then it doesn't matter, as long as you hold Youdong, the entire Youzhou is still stable, it is good to have one more Yuwen Department for the blade, even if it doesn't, it doesn't hurt, it's nothing more than a little more effort." ”

As he spoke, he put the letter aside and asked about something else.

"The main reason why you came this time is that the intelligence feedback from the grassland has come back, how, what do they think of the battle between Thorn City and Tuncheng? Have you started to spy on the origin and location of the Pingxing cannon? ”

When Tong Hai heard this, Zhengse replied: "As the lord expected, several large and small tribes on the grassland have sent new spies and fine works to Daijun, we raided and arrested, arrested a few people, tortured them, and asked about the purpose of these people, and they were indeed specifically aimed at the Pingxing artillery. As he spoke, he took out a book and handed it over.

Chen Zhi took it and looked at it a few times, and said: "Even if it is an assault, the detailed strongholds that were mastered in the past will inevitably be swept away a lot, and those behind them will be vigilant in the future, and if they want to reopen new secret strongholds, it will be more difficult to investigate, and the burden on Su Liao's body will be even heavier." ”

"That's true," Tong Hai was also a little helpless, "Su Shi spent several months in order to find out these secret strongholds, and after finding it, he did not immediately end it, but controlled it and monitored it closely, on the one hand, it was to grasp the communication content on both sides, and on the other hand, it was also left at the critical moment to be able to go down in one fell swoop, but the teacher also said that the Pingxing cannon is an important weapon of the country, affecting the peace of the north, and there must be no negligence, so he still used the shadows to take down those spies." ”

"This judgment is not bad," Chen Zhi nodded, noticing the worry on Tong Hai's face, and couldn't help but smile: "Looking at your appearance, in fact, I still don't feel at ease, I'm worried that the secret of the Pingxing cannon will be seen, yes or no?" There is no need to worry so much, in fact, the Pingxing cannon is different from the single-tip artillery, it is difficult for outsiders to master, and if it is forcibly developed, it can only cost financial resources in vain,"

Tong Hai honestly expressed his worries: "But the power of such a sharp weapon is too great, this time we interrogated the meticulous work, not only the northern tribes, but also the surrounding forces, the Huns, the king of Jiangdu, Shile, and even the spies of the imperial court couldn't bear it, and repeatedly probed, but compared to the grassland forces, the other parties are just hearsay, not personal experience, not as eager as the grassland forces, but there are also many people who are aware of the danger, especially Na Shile!" ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, his expression couldn't help but become serious, and he interrupted Tong Hai's words: "Let's talk about the reaction of several forces in the south." ”

Tong Hai came this time, and he had the intention of reporting, and immediately said like a few family treasures: "Several forces in the south, including the imperial court, learned about the so-called heavenly thunder of the Murong Ministry, and they were all suspicious, most of them thought that it was done by a single cannon, only Shi Le was the most concerned, this person recently stopped the offensive, suspended the attack on the Hejian country, and turned to provoke the relationship between the king of Hejian and Zu Taishou, and mobilized troops and horses, and our spies under Shi Le sent back the news, saying that he is likely to give up the attack on the east of Jizhou, and instead attack the south, strategic targets, Probably located in Yecheng! ”

In fact, Chen Zhi already knew this news, and he took advantage of the gap in sending fine work to arrange a zodiac origami on Shile's side, but the scope of origami activities is limited, and he knows the situation around Shile at most, and he is not clear enough about the battle situation everywhere, so he needs the secret spy department as a supplement.

"If he really wants to attack Ye, he has to face the counterattack of the imperial court, why is it so big? In the past, there was a battle in Jizhou, and even surrounded King Zhao, but Jizhou was already chaotic, in the eyes of the imperial court, it was just chaos and chaos, and there was no expansion of the scope, but Yecheng is different, it has been an important town since ancient times, it is a place where population, money and grain gather, and it is the fulcrum of the north. ”

Chen Zhi's brows furrowed, this aspect happened to be the information he lacked, although he knew Shi Le's intentions, but he didn't know the basis for judging very clearly, because Shi Le was not really an important monarch, and he often went out to fight in person, which limited the tracking of origami.

"Judging from Shiler's past actions, this person shouldn't be so eager, unless something happened in the south that made him feel that it was an opportunity, so he acted, but ......"

On the side of the imperial court, Chen Zhi also arranged fine work and origami, paying attention to Luoyang's movements, but Luoyang is the capital after all, heavily guarded, and there is no shortage of people who are good at counter-espionage, so the development of this intelligence network is limited.

As for the zodiac origami, since returning to the palace with the emperor from Guanzhong, he has also begun to reduce the scope of activities to avoid being discovered by the people in charge of patrolling the palace, so the news that can be transmitted back is limited to the scope of the palace.

"Could it be that the emperor has been completely blinded? So my origami doesn't know how the outside world changes? ”

Chen Zhi thought, on the other side, Tong Hai said: "There is indeed a change in the south, that is, the internal turmoil in the sect, when the king of Guanghan and the king of Ganling died, the king of Changsha who escaped from Luoyang led the army to attack Luoyang, and it is said that he has approached the capital, but the king of Jiangdu suddenly fell ill, and the court was going to mobilize the king of Jiangdu to resist in the past, but he fell ill and had to mobilize Qingzhou soldiers and horses to go over, the whole situation is very chaotic, I am afraid that I have no heart to take into account the matter of Shi Le's advance."

Chen Zhi listened and groaned.

"The information that can be touched by origami in the palace is actually the range of information that the emperor can access, but the emperor and the palace don't know about this, is it really blinded? The emperor was completely overthrown by the king of Jin? But even so, even my uncle didn't remind me, huh? ”

Suddenly, Chen Zhi realized a problem, this time he attacked Wang Jun first, and then went out to threaten Murong, during which he hardly paid much attention to the news from the Yang family and the Chen family from the capital!

"Have there been any letters in Luoyang City recently? Did you mention any of that? ”

Tong Hai's face became serious, and said: "I was about to report to the lord, this is also a reason why my subordinates are here, these days, the letter from Luoyang has not been broken, but most of them are only homely, and have not reported any news, and the secret channel has been nearly half a month, and there is no news!" ”
