Dongjun was lost, nearly 20,000 troops were beaten and returned in disarray, and Sun Ce was seriously wounded.

When the news came back, Cao Cao and Liu Bei couldn't calm down. If Fang Yunjun was really that terrifying, then what was the point of them uniting together? It's better to surrender early, and I can't say that I can still get a good position!

"I'm sorry, I still lost to Fang Yunjun in the end!" Sun Ce had already changed into civilian clothes at this moment and came to the two of them.

Tonight is Cao Cao's banquet in the mansion, on the one hand, it is also to shock Sun Ce, and on the other hand, he also wants to know what happened. When they saw Sun Ce's pale and bloodless face, they already understood that Sun Ce was indeed seriously injured.

"What was the situation like?" Cao Cao was the first to ask.

Sun Ce didn't hide it, and directly told what happened. Of course, he couldn't describe Le Jin and Yu Ban, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he could only tell the situation described by the soldiers who fled back.

"That's not right! I can understand that Lu Bu can quickly gather qi and release special moves, or I don't doubt that there is a certain talented existence in the opponent's camp, but both of them can quickly release special moves, but it is not normal! When Liu Bei heard what had happened, he immediately exclaimed.

"Is there something wrong with the other person?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.

"Speaking of which...... The leather armor on their bodies seemed to have some strange characters on it, but at first I just thought it was a decorative existence. But now that I think about it, that's really not normal. After all, their level of existence, wearing leather armor is indeed a bit unreasonable. Sun Ce thought about it, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said.

"That's probably the new technology they've developed! Damn, I've heard that Fang Yun found a large number of pre-Qin ancient books in a strange place. Apparently they found something we didn't know about, such as something that could quickly make a military general gather energy! Think about it, if he equips all the innate generals under his command with such equipment, then they can continuously release special skills before the true qi is exhausted, then the soldiers below us will be in danger! Liu Bei shouted.

"Not only that, but their weapons are just as ordinary! Both of you should know. My weapon, the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Spear, was when I was out hunting, I saw a lightning strike on a thousand-year-old peach tree, and after the trunk cracked, I found this strange spear inside. To this day, I can still feel that there is a machine spirit in this gun, which can help me fully exert the absolute strength of an innate general.

However, when I fought with Dian Wei and Gao Shun before, I could clearly feel it. The weapons in their hands seem to be the same! If they were like me, they were obtained by chance, then I won't say anything, but if Fang Yun made them in batches, it would be extraordinary! Sun Ce realized something and said quickly.

Currently, among the Combine Army. In addition to Sun Ce, who has a Tianyu Phoenix Spear, it is Lu Bu who has a Ghost God Fang Heavenly Halberd. His original Fang Tian painting halberd was struck by thunder on a rainy night. Then there was a strange change, not only did the appearance become red gold, but also a little more different charm, and even Lu Bu could clearly feel the existence of the weapon spirit in the weapon.

These weapons can be said to be available but not sought, but Dian Wei and Gao Shun on Fang Yun's side have such weapons. Especially the three of them have a hunch at this moment, they are afraid that all the innate level generals under Fang Yun's command have such weapons!

The real situation still needed to be investigated to be known, but the three of them were almost certain that Fang Yun did indeed have some special technology that could create such weapons and armor. In this case, not only in terms of weapons of war, but also in personal force, he will lose to him.

With such an idea, tonight's dinner party was naturally very unpleasant, and finally ended hastily. The spies went crazy the next day, and what they needed was to collect the information that the three of them needed as soon as possible.

As the autumn harvest ended, the information began to gather. Seriously, in terms of results...... It's really a little disliked, but I have to face it.

All the innate generals under Fang Yun's command have a leather armor sewn on the inside of the armor, and this leather armor has other characters on it, and such leather armor can only be obtained by innate military generals. As for what the characters look like, or what the leather armor is like, the spies can only know so much, and there is no way to find out further. For this, the lives of more than a dozen spies were also paid.

All the innate generals seem to have a certain spirituality in their hands, and all the weapons are closely guarded by these innate generals, just like their armor. No one around them has access to these weapons and armor unless they are true cronies.

However, it can be guessed that these weapons are only afraid of the same existence as the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Spear and the Divine Ghost Fang Heavenly Halberd.

According to the only sentence brought back by the spy from Jinyang, or the spy who was only alive, it was: "Research Institute", and the spy swallowed his breath directly after speaking, and these three words were passed back by the relay of other spies.

Liu Suncao was almost certain that Fang Yun must have a research institute specializing in this kind of armor and weapons, but it was unknown where this research institute was, and how these things were researched inside. Even, they didn't know how Fang Yun obtained these technologies, or how far he had studied them now.

From the starting point, they almost lost to Fang Yun, which made them very unwilling, but helpless.

Even if they really wanted to study it, they didn't know what those characters were, let alone how to use them. If you don't even have this basic technology, let alone make a finished product.

"Is there a way to steal something out of their institute?" Liu Bei put forward his opinion.

"Our spies in Jinyang are almost dead, I mean the part that can be sacrificed!" Cao Cao said solemnly.

Some spies can only be called upon at critical moments, just like some family members in various families organized by the Han Soul Organization. Obviously, he has been confirmed to be loyal, and he has even contributed a lot to the family, but at the critical moment, he betrayed overnight and delivered intelligence to Fang Yun, even if he sacrificed himself because of it.

Such a presence is also on the side of the Coalition Army. Even in private, they are afraid that there are such people who are planted in each other. However, because the value of this kind of manpower is too great, it is generally not allowed to be used unless it is absolutely necessary. For every time one is called, I think there is one less, and there is no way to replenish such manpower in the short term.

"I just want to ask, do we have such a presence in their workshop or research institute?" Liu Bei asked.

"In the early days, when Fang Yun was poaching craftsmen under our rule. One of my clansmen got in there. Cao Cao sighed.

"There is also a loyal servant on my side who has mixed in, but I haven't been in contact with him for a long time......" Sun Ce sighed.

"It's not hard to find the research institute of the other party, and you only need to find a few homeless people or businessmen to know. The key is how to get in, how to take things out safely, and bring them back safely! Seriously, I'm not going to propose if I could, but you should know that if we don't get the technology, then we won't be able to catch up! If we can't catch up. Then we are doomed to stay behind, and this is something that must not be allowed to happen! At the very least, we have to know where these things come from, and then use all our resources to continue looking for something similar! Liu Bei said solemnly.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce didn't speak, obviously they were also weighing the pros and cons of this matter. Fang Yun did obtain some pre-Qin ancient books earlier, but where exactly did these ancient books get them, but the source has always been tightly sealed.

But instead of being in the research institute, the technology inside is taken out. It is more valuable to look for the provenance of these ancient books. At the very least, it's riskier. The success rate is higher, and it's a little more promising!

A plan begins to brew, or rather, begins to plan. This is the result of the joint negotiation of all the advisers, and even the whole process is carried out in secret, and not even an outsider is allowed to exist.

After winter, a caravan came to Jinyang City. The caravan came from Yanzhou. But I've traded here no less than a dozen times, and I've been able to pay my taxes and not do things I shouldn't do.

Of course, Fang Yun was still very kind, as long as they didn't break the rules. Then they can still play in some unimportant places, some service industries that have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period......

You can go to the library, but you can't go to the military book area and the Gewu area to read books. These two parts of the book, only a few that have passed the review can be flipped through. The United Army and even other forces once sent spies planted in Jinyang to look through it, and he was indeed qualified to check it at that time, but in the end it was intercepted by the people in the shadows, and then there was no more!

After the transaction in Jinyang was completed, the caravan entered the Yanzhou Guild Hall, which was the guild hall built by Yanzhou merchants who bought land, and it was also a place where merchants from Yanzhou settled down and exchanged trading information with each other. When they go to a foreign land to do business, there will always be times when they will encounter trouble, and this kind of guild is their last hope at this time.

After registration, the caravan began to rest. The rooms have been cleaned beforehand and are cleaned here every day, so they can settle down as soon as they have registered. It's just that most of the people in the caravan will go out shopping after they settle down. Jinyang does have a lot of fun places, but for the businessman's follower, the most interesting thing is to go to the Qinglou or gambling house.

The businessman, who was the leader, remained alone in the room.

After confirming that there was no one, he quietly dug up a wall brick, and there was a dark grid inside. There were some documents in the secret compartment, and he quickly took them out and flipped through them, and he probably knew the location of the research institute, as well as the situation of the guards outside the research institute, and the schedule of guard shifts.

With all this in mind, the merchant put all these papers in the fireplace and lit them with a fire. He was slightly relieved to see these documents completely reduced to ashes.

Then I took a pen and wrote a lot of things, put them in the wall tiles, and then fell asleep.

The next day, they began to buy supplies, and when he returned, he opened the wall tiles again, and the documents inside had been replaced. The part he wrote had already been taken away or seen by the connector, and what was left behind was the one that needed to be known.

Then, he saw a name and address, which corresponded to a soldier of the Liberation Army. This soldier was an ordinary person who came out of the original Tiger Guard Battalion, and because he had enough strength, he was selected into the Liberation Army.

Since his comfortable life, this man has unknowingly been led by spies to become addicted to gambling, and it is getting worse and worse. At this moment, he is no longer a soldier who can sacrifice himself for glory, but just an out-and-out gambler.

When a person loses his glory, then the bottom line of being a man will continue to be abandoned.

The reason why the spies value him so much is only because: he is a soldier who followed Fang Yun to explore a certain place and brought back a large number of ancient books of the pre-Qin period! (To be continued......)

PS: Between countries, in addition to the battles on the surface, private spies are also endless. "The Art of War" has "The Use of Space", but many Three Kingdoms directly ignore the role of spies, maybe just to make the work more sunny and enthusiastic, right?
