After making up his mind, Liu Bei gave up on persuading Liu Hong and the upper echelons of the Eastern Han court, and instead decided to use his own strength to complete the assassination of the three Zhang Jiao brothers in private, without attracting anyone's attention in advance.

This is actually very advantageous for Liu Bei.

Because no one would have thought that he, Liu someone, a person who couldn't fight with Zhang Jiao, would actually lead the assassination of Zhang Jiao.

No one knows that Liu Bei opened the perspective of God, was able to think about these events from a historical perspective, and came to some conclusions that could only be reached by knowing everything.

Moreover, as the second person in charge of the East Park, Liu Bei's work in the East Park is actually intelligence reconnaissance outside of Luoyang.

Liu Hong and the eunuchs all believed that the intelligence investigation within Luoyang was the most important, because Luoyang was the center of the world, and if they controlled the intelligence of Luoyang, they would also have the intelligence of the world.

Even at the beginning, Dongyuan did not plan to set up an intelligence reconnaissance team for the outside, and it was Liu Bei who retained such an establishment at the request of Liu Bei, but in terms of staffing, Liu Hong and the eunuchs did not care, and let Liu Bei operate it himself.

You can arrange people, you can decide what to do, you can report regularly and go through the motions, and everything else is not important.

At that time, Liu Bei felt that there was such a good thing in the world?

Did you really give me the authority to reconnoiter intelligence outside of Luoyang?

As it is, a department that is established for the first time and is completely unaware of its effectiveness will not be recognized too deeply by anyone.

And Liu Hong and Zhang Rang are not politically capable power masters, so they don't care about it.

But Liu Bei really understands the power of this institution after it is run well, and this is a powerful department that every country with a little ability and ambition will not give up setting up in the future, both ancient and modern.

And Liu Hong and Zhang Rang's indifference means that even if Liu Bei completely uses his own manpower to completely turn this department investigating intelligence work in areas other than Luoyang into his own Liu Jiajun, there is no problem.

That's what he did.

Since you all trust me so much, wouldn't I be betraying your trust by not doing so?

Liu Bei has a lot of things to do, and it is difficult to devote himself wholeheartedly, so he asked Liu Bo's son Liu Hui, who has been following him to do things, to lead this team and slowly run this team.

Liu Hui is not good at martial arts, because he was bullied in his childhood, his personality is a little withdrawn, and he is only close to Liu Bei, who saved him, and he doesn't like to interact with others very much, and his popularity is not very good.

This is simply the best prerequisite for engaging in intelligence.

Therefore, when he was in Zhuoxian, Liu Hui's identity within the Liu group was similar to that of an intelligence officer, participating in intelligence work and laying the foundation for the expansion of the Liu family's power.

A good move that placed the chess pieces under Cheng Dazhi was Liu Hui's operation.

As his own person, relatives and friends of the same clan, Liu Bei has absolute trust in Liu Hui, and Liu Hui is also quite interested in learning that Liu Bei has found a new job for him.

The most beautiful job is the professional counterpart and personality fit, Liu Hui and this job as soon as they came into contact, immediately had a wonderful chemical reaction.

The task given to him by Liu Bei was quite arduous.

It is already September of the sixth year of Guanghe, and Zhang Jiao launched a full-scale operation in February of the seventh year of Guanghe, and Liu Bei still has five months left.

In these five months, Liu Bei needed to know the whereabouts of the three Zhang Jiao brothers clearly, and he needed to assassinate them without attracting anyone's attention, and he had to succeed.

It's not easy.

It requires accurate intelligence, and it also requires a skilled assassin with a will to die.

Who can take on such a responsibility?

Not to mention, Liu Bei really has such a suitable candidate under his hands.

The group of well-trained veterans who followed Liu Bei at the earliest in the cottage on the outskirts of Zhuo County were all taken in and saved by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was kind to them.

According to the simple values of this era, if someone saves a life, you must return your life with your life.

Liu Bei wrote a letter for people to secretly send back to Zhuo County, let Jian Yong and Ji Jian preside over it, select a group of loyal and willing to die for Liu Bei from the village, promise them to take care of their families and descendants, and then deliver the task.

Then, Liu Bei handed over the task of investigating the whereabouts of Zhang Jiao's three brothers to Liu Hui, and asked him to act secretly, not to attract anyone's attention, and go to Jizhou to investigate, and the time was urgent, Liu Bei could only give him three months at most.

In Liu Bei's view, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao usually have direct contact with believers in order to preach, and will not live apart from believers.

And this realistic demand gave Liu Bei the opportunity to assassinate them.

There is only one chance, once it fails, the Taiping Dao Incident will break out, but as long as it succeeds, the scale and destructiveness of the Taiping Dao Incident will instantly reduce several levels of harm.

The assassination failed, and Zhang Jiao rebelled, which was nothing more than everything going to the starting point.

The worst result is the original result, so what is there not to bet on?

Liu Bei wanted to do his best for this, but if his best efforts failed, he had nothing to say.

The arrangement of the Taiping Road Uprising, Zhang Jiao should have been completed long ago, and the armed team of the Taiping Road Incident is estimated to have formed the largest scale they can achieve.

It's impossible to keep it from exploding at all.

However, as long as the three Zhang Jiao brothers died early and the scale and destructiveness of the Taiping Dao Incident decreased, then the war would not be so destructive to the economy and daily production and life, the trend of local separatism would not rise on a large scale, and the local military disasters caused by the dispatch of the imperial army would be a little less.

The overall situation will not spiral out of control.

To what extent can one person's power change history, Liu Bei doesn't know.

He wanted to try.

In the second half of the sixth year of Guanghe, Liu Bei was secretly manipulating his own forces to make the last effort to adjust the direction of history.

On the bright side, he is recuperating and recuperating.

This is Lu Zhi's request to Liu Bei, and it is also Zheng Xuan's suggestion.

They hope that Liu Bei will not come out in this turmoil, but should restrain his edge, hide himself, protect himself, and not show his edge again.

Helping the Ancient Literature School foil Yang Ci's attack head-on before, it has provided great help to the Ancient Literature School, but now, Liu Bei has been sharp to the limit, and if he continues to be sharp, there will be problems.

Zheng Xuan was keenly aware that some forces were planning to plot against Liu Bei, so he suggested that Lu Zhi give Liu Bei a vacation so that he could take a break from the current extremely sinister struggle environment and recuperate.

To be honest, when Lu Zhi came to Liu Bei for this matter, Liu Bei was quite upset.

Because he found out that Lu Zhi really thought about him, Zheng Xuan was obviously also willing to think about him because he admired him.

But the reason why the situation has deteriorated to this extent is that Liu Bei is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

This kind of uneasy emotion quickly disappeared, and Liu Bei was accustomed to shielding his true emotions to make judgments, and did not let his emotions affect his actions.

That's why he was able to go from being a mat weaver to today.

It's quite ruthless.

But, does it matter?

Lu Zhi was obviously very worried about the current prospects facing the school, and while letting Liu Bei rest at home and preparing to call in sick for him, he also expressed his worries.

"If it was a year ago, Captain Sili, Captain Tingwei and Yushi Zhongcheng might have joined forces to fight against Dongyuan, especially Captain Sili, who has 1,200 officials and apprentices in his hands, which is enough to confront those Dongyuan spies head-on, but now, ...... Alas......"

Lu Zhi sighed again and again.

Liu Bei pretended not to bear it.

He personally offered a glass of rice wine to his beloved teacher.

"Teacher, it is not easy for the school to come to this day, every step of the way, my generation has paid a huge price, so far, my generation can not turn back."

Lu Zhi took the glass of rice wine and took a sip.

"I know, of course I know, but in my heart I still don't want to see the scholars completely split into two factions, which used to be just an academic dispute, but now, it has become a conflict of will, a conflict of interests, and there is no room for each other, is this really right? Xuande, what do you say? ”

Liu Bei was silent for a while and shook his head.

"In this matter, there is no room for arguing about right and wrong, teacher, there are many things in the world that cannot be distinguished from right and wrong, at present, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat."
