Originally, Hai Dongqing's Sanjin courtyard had been requisitioned by Hao Jian as a temporary general's mansion, and a plaque made of long wooden boards was temporarily hung next to the gate, and Liu Ji wrote "General's Mansion" in three regular characters.

The people of Guanjiatun have been settled, and Hao Jian summoned Ran Wu, Liu Ji, and Xu Zhu to the conference hall to discuss matters.

"Ran Wu, is this journey still going well?" Hao Jian sat down and asked Ran Wu.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates found a seriously injured and dying person on the way to it, and after my subordinates tried their best to treat him, they learned from him that this person belonged to another person called Gushantun, and it was said that the Tartars attacked their Tunzi and killed many people, women and children were taken away, and the existence was also burned by the Tartars, and this person escaped with a large life. According to him, the Tartars in this attack were at least two or three hundred people. “

Ran Wu said in a deep voice.

"What? Tartar again? When Hao Jian heard this, his anger suddenly surged, and the green tendons on the back of his hand holding the armrest of the chair burst out.

"Where is this man now?" Trying to take a breath to calm himself down, Hao Jian asked in a deep voice.

"He died of his injuries, and his subordinates buried him on the spot."

Hao Jian fell silent, he found that although he had experienced it once, he still couldn't hear this kind of thing calmly.

"Do you know where this backer is?" Hao Jian asked again.

"The subordinates later asked the people of Guanjiatun, and some people said that about fifty miles to the east of them, it was still a small tunzi, and it was called Gushantun because it lived with its back to the mountain."

"These Tartars are taking revenge, revenge for the last time we sniped them. These bastards and scum beasts, they don't have the courage to come to Lao Tzu, they will only attack these innocent people, Lao Tzu must kill them all in the future, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Hao Jian didn't hold back in the end, his anger made him get up suddenly, grabbed a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and threw it out, smashing it heavily on the ground, the porcelain pieces splashed, one of which almost made Liu Ji's head bloom.

No matter how old he pretended to be old, no matter how much he pretended to be calm, he was still a young man in his twenties, and he was also a young man who came from a peaceful modern society and was accustomed to seeing stability and prosperity.

No matter how much he has seen this kind of inhumane behavior of disregard for human life and like a beast, he has seen it a lot in the history books, but after he experienced the tragedy of Guanjiatun, that tragic scene can no longer be erased from his mind.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes this time, he must have been able to imagine that the scene would definitely be even more tragic than the one in Guanjiatun.

He knew that these Tartars were taking revenge. This is what they are trying to do with this heinous trick to mock and take revenge on themselves.

He knew that he had no obligation to save everyone, and he didn't have the strength to do so at the moment, but he couldn't help but feel angry and guilty.

Hao Jian's anger made the atmosphere in the council room suddenly solemn, and no one spoke.

Ran Wu and Xuzhu are both Hao Jian's subordinates, everything is subordinate to Hao Jian, and they maintain the solemnity of a soldier at all times.

Liu Ji was the first time to see Hao Jianfa so angry, which made him a little surprised, but in addition to the accident, he also felt the rare innocence of the young man in front of him, which was much better than those officials and ministers who were full of fat brains, only devoted to personal gain, and completely vain to care about Pingming's life and death.

If you have a pure heart, you will have an enterprising heart, and if you have an enterprising heart, you may make mistakes because of the impatience of young people, which requires a counselor like him to admonish.

Liu Ji found that the young man in front of him seemed to be more and more in line with the image of the person he had been looking for in his heart.

His character is changeable, but the anger and hatred of the barbarians have always been the same, and the sympathy and love for the poor people have never changed. This kind of innocence is the most rare.

But it will take time, and time will tell.

If you want me Liu Ji to be completely convinced of you, you must hand over a qualified answer.

None of the people in the council chamber noticed that in the corridor outside the room, a slender blue figure stared thoughtfully at a piece of broken porcelain that had splashed out of the room and landed on the ground, and then left quietly after a moment.

After noticing his gaffe, Hao Jian also calmed down, his face regained his calm, and he sat back on the chair.

"Strategist, what do you think?"

"In my opinion, this incident is not necessarily for the sake of the Tartars taking revenge on us. In the past few years, the border army has become more and more weak, and it is basically invincible against the Tartars, so that as long as the Tartars appear, the officers and soldiers can only retreat in the city and dare not come out to fight with them, causing the Tartars to become more and more unscrupulous, and from time to time attack and capture the border people of our Ming Dynasty. There is not necessarily a causal relationship between the current Gushantun incident and the last Guanjiatun incident, so the general must not blame himself for this. “

Liu Ji said slowly, although he was comforting Hao Jian, what he said was indeed an objective situation.

What he was most afraid of was that Hao Jian would take someone out to find Tartar in a fit of anger, and it would be troublesome, so these words were also euphemistic advice.

"Don't worry, the Lord doesn't raise the army with anger, I still understand this truth." Hao Jian understood what this meant, and said slowly with a sigh of relief.

Seeing Hao Jian like this, Liu Ji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it weren't for Ran Wu's encounter with that surviving civilian, we would still know nothing. Why? Because we don't have our own eyes, that is, we don't have intelligence sources, so we are slow to react. It seems that the time has come to form our intelligence system. Hao Jian said in a deep voice after a deep groan.

"The general is extremely worried, his ears and eyes are unknown, and his limbs are difficult to walk. This is indeed a big thing that needs to be prepared from now on. Liu Ji nodded in agreement.

"Strategist, as far as you know, what are the ways in which countries in the world spy on intelligence?" Hao Jian humbly asked.

"The use of a room, broad and profound, can be roughly divided into three types: official, civil, and scout. The so-called officialdom, in short, means that countries send people into other countries, mix with officialdom, use officialdom status and connections to find out information, collect intelligence, and instigate rebellion; The so-called private people use businessmen as a cover identity and commercial affairs as a cover means, either sitting in businessmen or doing business, using the identity of businessmen to collect all kinds of intelligence and make friends with all kinds of people; As for the scouts, they are the scouts who come out on the battlefield to inquire for news. ”

Liu Ji told what he knew. Scholars like them have a lot of knowledge, so they know a little bit about everything.

After Hao Jian corroborated Liu Ji's words with the espionage knowledge he had read in some books or on TV before, he knew that it was probably not bad, and the old fox still had something to do.

"So, at the moment, it seems that the only ones we can immediately use are the scouts. As for the official and business circles, it is not a one-day effort, and we do not have the right candidate yet. Hao Jian added.

"The general is wise." Liu Ji nodded.

Ran Wu, starting today, we will select suitable candidates in the army to set up a scout team, conduct reconnaissance within 50 miles of our surroundings every day, and summarize the situation every day and record it. Especially in the direction of the Tartars and the direction of Datong. You are personally responsible for this. “

Hao Jian pointed at Ran Wu and ordered solemnly.

"No! The subordinates will definitely live up to their mission." Ran Wu took the order with emotion.
