"Zhoudu sent people to search for the city with the largest population and the largest concentration of our city?" Liu Xu looked at the latest information in his hand, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"My lord, can I show the minister?" Zhuge Liang on the side took the initiative to say, after the defense of Luoyang Palace was completely handed over to King Tota Li, Zhuge Liang came to the White Elephant World with Liu Xu.

It's just that Zhuge Liang has been running around these days, and he rarely follows Liu Xu's side. It just so happened that today, Zhuge Liang came to Liu Xu to report to work, and the intelligence on the other side also happened to be sent.

"My lord? Is this information accurate? Zhuge Liang read this information, and then asked solemnly.

The information is very brief, and the content is also a bit strange, saying that the Zhou capital sent thousands of spies and ordered them to disperse and explore the surrounding cities with large populations.

But only let these spies probe the news, and did not order them to carry out any sabotage operations, since the core order is to come back alive after probing the news, etc., so that Liu Xu also looked a little puzzled after seeing the news, and didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

And when he heard Zhuge Liang's question, he immediately opened his mouth and smiled, "There is definitely no problem with the intelligence, after all, this is the news from Liu Bang!" ”

Well, Liu Bang was also in Zhoudu at this time, and the official became bigger and bigger, and now he is the head of Zhoudu's intelligence department.

At the beginning, after being abandoned in the hinterland by the Moon King, Liu Bang, who held the only elite army of the Zhou State in his hands, faced the siege of a large number of troops, showed extremely clever command skills, and brought back about 1,000 troops of more than 10,000 people, many of whom were of high caste, which naturally made these nobles grateful to Liu Bang.

Secondly, Liu Bang's skills and personal charm in making friends once again played an amazing effect, and almost all of these nobles became Liu Bang's friends, and even some nobles took the initiative to be Liu Bang's subordinates.

For example, the second son of the Shui family, as a competitor in favor of the head of the Shui family, actually voluntarily gave up the right to inherit, and followed Liu Bang after he came back, staying by Liu Bang's side for longer than staying at home.

There are still many high-caste nobles like this, and Zhou Tianzi naturally looked down on Liu Bang, and then entrusted Liu Bang with important tasks.

In fact, Zhou Tianzi originally wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, but when Liu Bang ran out, he would kill him, after all, he was a low caste, how could he stand with the noble nobles.

However, with the power of the Zhou State only one Zhou capital left, Zhou Tianzi figured out a truth, that is, it is absolutely impossible to appoint these waste aristocrats around him, and he still has to appoint those who are really capable.

Although these people may rebel in the future and may pollute the high castes, if they do not use it, they may have no future for their own family.

As soon as the result was used, Zhou Tianzi found that this Liu Bang was really a big treasure, because any thorny problem could be solved in the hands of Liu Bang.

First of all, the population of Zhoudu exploded, bringing about the problem of disorder, the most chaotic time, hundreds of fights will occur on the street every day, and even the big nobles in the court will fight directly in front of Zhou Tianzi, thousands of people have died in a month, and Zhou Tianzi is powerless to deal with these situations, and he doesn't know how to deal with them, seeing that the population of Zhoudu is about to kill each other and die.

Zhou Tianzi finally handed over the task to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang just arranged a captain with a five-color stick, and then killed a prince on the street, which directly restored the order of the entire Zhou capital.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bang properly divided the living order and hierarchy, handled the contradictions between these nobles and lords in an orderly manner, and handed over a lot of work to the lowest level of the scholars, so that they could get the basic resources to survive, and finally smoothly straightened out the entire Zhou and eliminated too much trouble.

After that, he faced the problem of eating in Zhoudu, with the explosion of population, there was not enough food, and the nobles were reluctant to put on their own posture, and ten mouthfuls would be wasted if they ate one bite, and almost all the strange beasts around were killed, so that Zhou Du was about to be starved to death.

Then Liu Bang put forward the method of directly controlling the enemy's food for the first time, and it was successful, and at the same time ordered all the food to be eaten by the Gong clan first, and those that the Gong clan wasted and did not eat were handed over to the Shi clan, and the Shi clan wasted it and then handed it over to the dust clan.

In this way, the big nobles have a lot of face, and the bottom nobles will not go hungry, and the food crisis in Zhoudu has been successfully solved.

At the same time, Liu Bang also helped Zhou Tianzi innovate some systems and helped him more firmly grasp the rights of the entire country.

The occurrence of these things made Zhou Tianzi more and more reluctant to kill Liu Bang, and he had to use him more and more, after all, such a talent who is good at solving problems, Zhou Tianzi encountered it for the first time in his life, how could he kill it.

And in Zhou Tianzi's opinion, no matter how strong this Liu Bang is, in the final analysis, he is just a pariah, and it is inherently impossible to get the true allegiance of the high-caste nobles.

And how much he has done now, how many people he has offended, in the future, he only needs a word, and some people help him kill Liu Bang, so now Liu Bang is living very safely, and even secret operations such as exploring population gathering places are completely handed over to Liu Bang.

And Liu Bang naturally reported to Liu Xu as soon as he changed hands, as for what the purpose behind this action was, Liu Bang did not know.

After learning that this secret was actually discovered by Gaozu Liu Bang, Zhuge Liang's expression was slightly strange, and finally sighed, "In this way, Zhou Du is probably planning to launch a surprise attack on our population gathering place!" ”

"Prime Minister, are you so sure that the purpose of the other party's investigation is to raid?" Liu Xu asked suspiciously, after all, there was no smell of action on this information from beginning to end.

"Yes, the minister is not only sure that the other party is to launch a surprise attack, but also to be sure that he just did this to lure you out!" Zhuge Liang said.

"How so?" Liu Xu hurriedly asked.

"Because if you want to force your lord out, they only have this trick!" Zhuge Liang said, "If the other party wants to regain the lost territory, then it should look for strategic points around the Zhou capital, and if it wants to plunder the population, it should look for the nearest population gathering point, rather than directly exploring which city has the most population." ”

"But they did this, and naturally there was only one purpose, to use these people as hostages to force you to come forward, so as to find an opportunity to kill you!"
