More than ten miles outside Fuyang City, it was late at night, about one o'clock in the morning, Yuan Shang had not fallen asleep, he didn't feel sleepy at all, but he was sitting in the tent very energetically, studying the map, drinking inferior tea, and there was no one else in the tent except Yuan Shang and Fuhu.

On the table, there are stacks of papers, which are researched by the Internal Affairs Department under Yuan Shang, who invented the paper, Yuan Shang does not know, the earliest paper is made of the cocoon cocoon left over from the silkworm cocoon, with the method of bleaching many times, and eventually a layer of fiber flakes will be formed, and after drying, it is the most primitive paper, and later improved by Cai Lun, the quality of the paper has improved a lot, although it is more than a little worse than modern paper, but it can barely enter Yuan Shang's eyes, Fortunately, the papermaking technique is not very advanced at this time, and ordinary workshops can also make it, but because the cost is relatively high, there are fewer people who use paper, but the bamboo slip record has become the mainstream of contemporary times. However, the cost of these is quite acceptable to Yuan Shang, for a modern person who is accustomed to paper, bamboo slips are too cumbersome, and although the state is not very rich, but the paper that supports Yuan Shang and the official offices under his jurisdiction is no problem, after studying and improving, the cost has gradually decreased, and then Yuan Shang has greatly promoted, now, in addition to the military silk cloth is more, Yuan Shang's official offices are using paper, with Yuan Shang as an example, Some wealthy families in Bingzhou have gradually replaced cumbersome bamboo slips with paper, and the trend of following the trend is not only modern times, no matter what dynasty, the power of role models is always strong.

Although it looks a little rough from the perspective of Yuan Shang's modern people, it is much more convenient than those bamboo slips, and there are a lot of things densely written on it, which is what Yuan Shang must pass every day, there are daily reports from the rear base camp and the state, as well as information from all over the country, it is not easy for him to be the lord of a state, bearing the expectations of tens of thousands of soldiers and people with lofty ideals under his command, just looking at the thick stack of paper every day is enough to see for half a day, fortunately, he has a lot of strategists under his command, but also a lot of responsibility for him.

Frustrated Hu has been the captain of Yuan Shang's personal guard for more than three years, and the young man who disobeyed Yuan Shang has matured a lot, and his father is also Yuan Shang's subordinate martial arts, and he is also in an important position, after all, the captain of the personal guard is the closest person to the leader, and the entire state, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are blushing for this position, fortunately, Frustrated Hu is stable, and he is very loyal to Yuan Shang, but he has also sat firmly in the captain of the personal guard for more than three years, and for more than three years, Yuan Shang is also used to having frustrated Hu by his side, when Ziqing was injured and was taken back to the Sword Palace by Canghaizi, And Bayun was released into the army by Yuan Shang, and it is said that there is only one person left by his side who can handle some trivial matters for him.

put down the paper in his hand, but pinched his brows and said, "Frustrated, come here." ”

Approaching the tent curtain, the frustrated hu, who was sitting precariously, hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "Lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Is this all the information for today?" Yuan Shang frowned.

Frustrated Hu chuckled in his heart, and quietly glanced at Yuan Shang's face, but saw that although Yuan Shang's face was not iron-blue, it was also a little ugly, and hurriedly responded: "My lord, except for the weight of a few gentlemen, everything you must check every day is here." ”

Yuan Shang's heart sank, and he said: "It seems that there is an accident on the line of Xiapi, and I haven't received news for half a month." ”

"Half a month"

Frustrated Hu's face changed slightly, there was no news for half a month, as Yuan Shang said, there was definitely an accident, according to Yuan Shang's intelligence management regulations, it is generally five days to report the information explored level by level, and finally it will be summed up in the Yuan Shang table case, during this period, if there is a special reason for the delay, it will not exceed ten days, and the Xiapi side has been cut off for half a month, and not even a little news has been transmitted, it must have been an accident, otherwise, in terms of intelligence organizations with mature operating procedures such as the Intelligence Department, this kind of mistake is impossible to produce.

"Will it be discovered?" Frustrated Hu said in a deep voice.

His speculation is not unfounded, now the rebellion in Xuzhou, not inferior to Youzhou, Cao Cao raised troops to avenge his father, the real picture of Xuzhou, Xuzhou Tao Qian is not a soft persimmon, angry and counterattacked, invite the princes of the world to help, the situation is so chaotic, the intelligence department is active in that environment, it is really possible to show clues.

"Check" Yuan Shang frowned, and said: "I don't need to explain the importance of the Xiapi line, send a few more capable people to go, Xuzhou is a battleground for soldiers, even if we can't take care of that side now, but if we start early, we will have a better chance of winning, and the construction of Xiapi intelligence cannot be lost, even if it is destroyed, the new structure must be set up again." ”

When he heard this, his face turned grim, and he hugged his fists and said, "Huh." ”

turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Shang: "By the way, has there been any news from the intelligence department?"

Frustrated Hu shook his head and said, "Not yet, the time is short, and I may not have obtained any valuable information yet." ”

Yuan Shang nodded slightly: "I can rest assured in other places, as for the falcon, we must step up the exploration of military intelligence, especially the terrain and military configuration of the rest of the counties, I must receive a detailed report." ”

Hearing this, Frustrated Hu nodded: "The last general understands." ”

"Go ahead," Yuan Shang waved his hand.

Seeing that Yuan Shang didn't have any orders, he turned around and left.

Frustrated and left, Yuan Shang did not turn off the lights and go to bed, but walked out of the autumn robe, the guard of the tent saw Yuan Shang walk out, and hurriedly saluted, Yuan Shang waved his hand and walked forward, and the guards behind him saw this, glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

It was late at night, and many soldiers had already gone to sleep, except for the soldiers on duty and patrolling, the entire camp fell silent.

Yuan Shang is not looking for anyone, he just can't sleep, there are a lot of trivial things in his heart, sometimes people are tired, but he can't sleep, so he has to go out for a walk and inspect the camp, which is also a way to relax.

At his level, there are only thirteen people in the country, and it is false that there is no pressure in his heart, after all, he is responsible for the future of tens of thousands of followers, he is just an ordinary person, and he is only forty-five years old in his previous life and this life, at this age, if it is not an accident, perhaps, he is just a very ordinary speck of dust among all living beings.

The thick night is always easy to arouse the most sincere emotions in his heart, in front of the burning torch, Yuan Shang's face flickered brightly and darkly, just like his inner emotions, fluctuating.

"The general has a sense of leisure, it's so late, and he is still admiring the moon in the camp." But at this moment, a clear voice came from behind him.

When Yuan Shang heard this, he turned around, didn't look at this person's face carefully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang is not wrong, it is late at night, and he is still wandering around the camp, is he trying to steal the intelligence of our army?" ”

When Mr. Pang, who had an ugly face, heard this, he responded: "I really let the general guess it, I am not talented, and my family background is not obvious, and in order to exchange for some wine money, I can only make a living by selling intelligence." ”

Yuan Shang heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and between his breaths, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, he looked at Mr. Pang deeply, and said with a light smile: "Although the general does not have a lot of money, he can barely eat a mouthful, but I don't know what valuable information Mr. Lu Daopang has on hand for the general to choose." ”

Regarding Yuan Shang's scrutiny, Mr. Pang was unaware of it, and said with a smile: "As long as the general can afford the price, the general will definitely be satisfied." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shang smiled casually: "Let's listen to it, maybe I wouldn't be interested?" ”

Mr. Pang plucked his nostrils casually and said indifferently: "The arrangement of the organs in Fuyang City, I don't know if the general is interested?" ”
