Chapter 47 There are a lot of spies

Mao Ji naturally couldn't imagine what the chaos in Yecheng was like at this time.

Although it is said that the civil and military forces below the three dukes in Yecheng all went from the south, and among the characters left in the city, those who had a little wisdom and force were all sent to the front line by Wei Qi. But Yecheng is the capital of Cao Wei after all, and there are no less than 100,000 people of all colors, and the various departments contain each other and defend tightly. If Wei Qi only handled state affairs in the name of Shang Shuling, even if the means were a little more extreme, no one would be disgusted. But if Wei Qi wants to control the city alone and take refuge in Ji Han, not to mention that Cao Zhen's 200,000 troops on the front line have returned to the division, even if the government soldiers from various provinces in the city pour out, they can eat Wei Qi alive.

In history, after the defeat of Shu Han, due to the struggle for power, the two generals of Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, who held heavy troops in Western Shu, held their own merits and flew high, Zhong Hui took the lead in raising troops to rebel, wanting to be the king of Shu, at that time he still had the Shu Han general Jiang Wei on his side, and he himself was also a famous wise man in the world. But at that time, the supervisor was Wei Qian, the son of Wei Qi, who only had more than 1,000 people, and in a critical situation, he took advantage of the contradictions and adopted various strategies to break through, gathered the generals Ping Zhonghui, beheaded Deng Ai, and pacified Shuzhong in one fell swoop. During this period, although Wei Qian skillfully planned, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and bravely did things at critical times, he was not afraid of swords and axes, and finally won the credit, but the Wei army thought of Wei and refused to rebel, so that with Deng Ai Zhonghui official to the high position of the three dukes, the halo of destroying Shu on his head, and the power of life and death in his hands, he could not control the situation, but it was also clear.

At this time, Wei Qian was still young, no matter how smart Wei Qi was, he would never have thought that his son would do such a big thing. But he is Cao Wei's first-class wisdom, although he is not as talented as Sima Yi, but ordinary people are still far from being able to compare with him. He knew that although he had power in his hands, he did not have soldiers, and even if he did, there were soldiers. He also didn't believe that the soldiers would follow his orders after his objections were exposed. If he wants to do the land, he will use his prestige of Cao Wei to destroy Wei by supporting Wei.

On the one hand, he helped Cao Zhen to the greatest extent and sent all the people to the front line - this is not to help Cao Zhen, people are to eat, more people do not necessarily have strong combat effectiveness, more people do not necessarily make it easier to dispatch, and more people do not necessarily get things done. gave the centaur to Cao Zhen. In fact, if the burden is thrown to Cao Zhen, the military food on the front line will be consumed faster, and Cao Zhen's defeat will be faster.

Secondly, after emptying Yecheng, he needs his own men. Wei Qi first used the name of the Five Soldiers Shangshu to change the armor and transferred all the original personnel to the front line, and the rest were replaced by the personnel of the Zhiwen Institute. At this time, an elite group of Ji Han's Hubu battalion had quietly entered the city under the leadership of Fu Xuan, pretending to be Tuntian soldiers or people transporting grain and grass, and then they changed the clothes and armor of the forbidden army. Holding the order of Shangshu Terrace, he took over the city gate in the name of adjusting defense. As a result, more Han troops quietly entered the city and became the forbidden army in Yecheng. It only took a few days for Li Sheng, Li Wei, Lianhong and other generals to quietly enter Yecheng. The Ji Han army had taken control of the four gates of Yecheng and most of its garrisons.

However, Wei Qi was not at ease. What he wants is absolute stability, only in this way can he ensure that there will be no changes in Yecheng under Cao Zhen's understanding and desperate efforts.

Since Yecheng is the capital, the army under its jurisdiction is mainly composed of two parts. The first is that Guangluxun led the Lang official as the Lang guard, and the second was that the guard led the guard as the guard. It's funny to say, Cao Wei's current Lord Guangluxun is still Guan Ning Guan You'an, who is far away in Liaodong and refuses to return. It's a pity that this great sage would rather study and teach by himself than return as an official, which greatly swept Cao Wei's face. At present, Cao Rui is heading south, and Cao Wei's elite periods, Yulin and other troops have all gone south. The only people in charge of the city are the captains. The guard is also the forbidden army of the Gongwei Jing Division, and the original ground guard is Xun You. followed by Dong Zhao and Xin Bi, both of whom were important ministers of the DPRK and China. At present, Xun You and Dong Zhao are all dead, Xin Bi died in Bingzhou, at this time the post of guard is vacant, and it was Jiang Ji, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who was originally ready to be promoted, but Jiang Ji is now the general military division of Cao Xiu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, responsible for the task of the southeast, and has clashed with Eastern Wu several times. Repelled Sun Quan's imperial expedition. He can't live without it right now. The main force of Wei Wei went with Cao Zhenxi, and the real power of Wei Wei was in the hands of Wei Cheng Zhang Ji at this time. Zhang Ji is the son of Zhang Ji, but he does not have the outstanding talent of Zhang Ji. It can't compare to the scheming and calculating Wei Xuan, and it can't compare to the civil and military Fu Xuan. However, although Wei Qi felt that Zhang Ji would not have much impact on his affairs, he still wanted to minimize the danger of his land.

He summoned Fu Xuan to consult.

Fu Xuan flicked his sword and smiled: "The easiest way is to kill with a sword." It can also cause chaos in the city, so that Shang Shuling can control the military power. ”

Wei Qi shook his head and said, "Although killing is a good way, I don't like to see blood." And even if he is killed, it will not eliminate the power of the guard. What I want is uprooting and solving it all. ”

Fu Xuan nodded: "I know how to do it." ”

Fu Hui brought Li Sheng, Li Wei and Lian Hong who came into the city to discuss together. How to arrange to frame Zhang Ji, saying that he colluded with Ji Han, and then get the matter to Wei Qi, Wei Qi can naturally clean up the mess in the name of justice, and use Ji Hanjun to disarm Wei Wei and lock them up, so as to achieve the goal of completely disarming Wei Wei.

"Zhang Ji is a beautiful jade." Li Sheng didn't hesitate to say that he was a hobby. The Zhiwen Institute has collected a lot of information on everyone in Cao Wei, and there is no doubt that Li Sheng's understanding of the situation in Yecheng is only above Lu Yu, the great Shangshu (that is, the secretary of the ministry) who is Cao Wei's division of Cao Wei's affairs. For his erudition and strong memory, Fu Xuan is not as ashamed as himself.

"Meiyu, why do Cao Wei's monarchs and ministers like it?" Zhan Hong obviously remembered that his father and Tian Yu were demoted from the north of Xinjiang to Hedong because they did not hand in Meiyu.

"This is called good at the top, and bad at the bottom." Fu Xuan said.

"Brother, you seem to have a piece of beautiful jade, which was given to you by His Majesty, and it should be good to use it as erbium." Li Wei said to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng's eyes widened: "Nonsense, Your Majesty's things, how can they be used for design." What's more, what can a Zhang Ji count to make His Majesty send Peiyu to him? Well, there is a Hu jade craftsman in Yecheng West City, who is a subordinate of Ji Han Zhiwen. The matter of jade is solved by him. Then we sent someone to pretend to be Zhang Ji's old department, and gave it to Zhang Ji in the name of giving gifts, and then we hypothesized that this person was Ji Han's spy, and after investigation, we found that Zhang Ji was Ji Han's internal response. When the matter is reported, Lord Shang Shuling will naturally come to check. ”

Li Wei smiled and said: "A piece of jade may not be enough, but if you find out a letter." It could be better. ”

"It might be a bit more troublesome to send the letter in."

"What's the trouble, when the time comes, it's not our people who will go when Zhang Ji is checked, and there will be no problem in searching for a hundred anti-books at his house.

Poor Zhang Ji was calculated by his own Shangguan and a few children.

A few days later, Zhang Ji's mansion was suddenly surrounded, and when he was caught out of the bed and faced with the overwhelmed guards and soldiers from the Northern Army (in fact, it was the elite of Ji Han), he was simply dizzy. In his home, a large number of treasures from the Western Regions were easily found. The most outstanding is a piece of Lantian jade, which is shiny.

Wei Qi asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "This was given to me by my father's old ministry when he passed through Yecheng a few days ago. ”

Wei Qi nodded, and in front of the ministers who came with him, his hands were lightly parted, and he made a cluck. The jade is divided into two pieces, and at the joint, there are seven bright stars carved with the two carving techniques of yin and yang.

That is clearly the symbol of Emperor Ji Han! In Cao Wei, who dares to carve such a thing.

Everyone gasped.

Wei Qi had already turned his face: "What is this?" ”

"Me. I do not know. The man said that he was my father's old department, and wanted me to do something for him, so he was transferred to the guard. ”

"Transferred to the Guard? Is it true that the transfer of the guard lieutenant is such a big deal? Come on, search for me carefully! ”

Not long after, a letter printed with the seal of the Prime Minister of Ji Han was turned out of the cracks in the overlapping desk scrolls in Zhang Ji's study.

In the face of all this, including Shangshu Lingwei in the mainland, Cao Wei's ministers were so angry that their faces were like dirt. Wei Qi was furious: "Arrest me, put me in prison, and interrogate me severely!" ”

Zhang Ji was also stunned. Then he shouted that he had been wronged, and before he could speak, he was punched in the back by a sergeant, and then he had snot and tears, coughed loudly, and bent over like a shrimp.

Wei Qi ordered Zhang Ji to be put in prison, Wei Wei handed over all the city defenses in charge, and all senior officials were examined. He used this as an excuse. The four doors are closed. The whole city is a big rope. Only overnight, Yecheng all fell into the hands of Wei Qi. Then Wei Qi gathered the soldiers and horses of the Wei Lieutenant. Disarm and put in jail. He also gathered the hundred officials in the palace, and on the pretext that there were traitors hidden among the hundred officials, he did not let them go home and asked them to be interrogated.

Every day, countless people are arrested, and every day, there are people who have been tortured and recruited others to be Ji Han's spies, and the unjust cases deliberately created are getting bigger and bigger, Yecheng is becoming more and more chaotic, and Wei Qi's control of Yecheng is getting closer and closer. Wei Qi is like an eye of the storm, the whole Yecheng is in chaos, but he is still calm and peaceful, sitting firmly in the middle of the wind and waves, and handling everything in the city in an orderly manner.

Cao Wei's ministers finally found a problem. Although they didn't expect Wei Qi to demote Ji Han, they felt that Wei Qi was no longer the Wei Qi who smiled all day long in the past, and inadvertently, he had become a strong figure in charge of Yecheng alone, although he was also the person with the highest position in Yecheng at that time, but at that time he was still discussing with the ministers, and now no matter what he does, he will decide by himself, and others will not even go home without his permission.

But now that we have found a problem, we can't change the situation. This situation is like that before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was just a general, but after he entered Beijing, he became a poisonous dragon that no one could control.

And Wei Qi is different from Dong Zhuo, although Wei Qi is too strong at the moment, and he also makes a mess of Yecheng, but he is doing it under the banner of protecting Yecheng, and he is doing it for Cao Wei.

Isn't there no one who can restrain Wei Qian, is it Your Majesty? He left Jizhou early; Is it a general, he is far away from the front line. And which of these two people is not a loyal minister who regards Wei Qi as the number one in Tianzi?

Now they just hope that Wei Qi will not continue like this.

At this time, the wool machine came.

Wei Qi arranged everything, and the next day, he finally let the hair machine into the city. He said to Mao Ji: "Mao Langzhong, I'm also anxious, you know, I have always regarded the front-line affairs as the most important thing, but at the moment, I have no other way." You know how much I hate these pervasive Ji Han spies, they actually included all the Wei Cheng of a country into their network. I don't know how many of them still have them, and how many people in high positions of power are working for them, and if they are not wiped out, I am afraid that the victory of our army at the front will be chaotic because of the loss of control in the rear. As he spoke, his eyes were full of melancholy.

Mao Ji hurriedly said: "Lord Shang Shuling, right now our army is in a surprise attack, and we urgently need food and grass, if we don't send food, the sergeants mutiny, and the general will lose the battle, I'm afraid that no one can afford this responsibility!" ”

"I'll hurry up, hurry up and catch the spies within a day or two, and then I'll send grain and grass."

"Your Excellency!" Mao Ji's face changed, "The front line can't go without food for a day, and now that this situation is being caused, the adults are already derelict in their duties, how can they still delay?" ”

"Bold! Who are you talking to? Shang Shutai doesn't know the priorities of state affairs, and wants you to point fingers?! ”

Mao Ji knelt on the ground: "My lord, the villain lost his words for a while, please forgive me." But now there is really no food and grass on the front line, and Ji Han can be defeated right now, if there is no food and grass, the victory in hand will be lost. At that time, even if the adults had great merit, they would not be able to reap it. ”

Wei Qi sneered: "Mao Langzhong, you are so open-mouthed, first to threaten it, and then to lure it to profit, but you are just a little Langzhong, your little trick to use it from your subordinates!" My merits and faults are determined by His Majesty, and even a great general cannot influence Shang Shutai's decision-making. ”

Mao Ji was scolded so much that he didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to ask: "My lord, the 200,000 troops on the front line, life and death are all in the thoughts of adults, please read in the Great Wei soldiers, and send grain and grass early!" ”

"Mao Langzhong, get up, this is not a matter of one car or two carts, the grain and grass consumption of the 200,000 army, people eat horses and chew, it is three or four hundred catties a day, and it takes nearly 100 carts to transport, even if it only transports ten days of grain, plus the consumption on the road, it also requires thousands of carts, thousands of soldiers and horses, if Ji Han's fine work is not eliminated, if it is robbed and burned on the way, who will be responsible? Young man, don't be in such a hurry, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time. Come on, please go down to rest in Mao Langzhong. ”

A few big men stepped forward to set up a wool machine and took it down.

In this way, General Cao Zhen's envoy who destroyed grain was imprisoned.

Yecheng's search for spies will continue, and not a single grain of grain will be sent to the front line.
