"Your Zhao country is a mixed bag, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so the list of this group of spies needs to be kept secret with extra care, except for me and a few necessary people, don't reveal anything to the public."

Liu Ji added, staring at Zhang Ao with a careful attitude, looking like he was entrusted with a heavy task.

Zhang Ao solemnly bowed down and took on this crucial task.

"In a few days, let Zhang Cang take Liu Jing's delegation to Zhao to find an opportunity from your border to see how to meet with Xiongnu Shan Yu.

You can repair a book first and hand it over to Cheng Xiangao and Zhao Wu, otherwise, according to their violent tempers, they may not take Zhang Cang's kid in their eyes, hahaha. ”

Liu Ji stroked his chin and reminded lightly.

Guan Gao and Zhao Wu are all old disciples of Zhang Er, he had contact from time to time before he ascended the throne, and he knew that they were all ruthless, and at that time there was only King Zhao in his heart, not King Han, probably, he would not take him seriously as an emperor at the moment.

Fortunately, their young advocate Ao himself is still in Luoyang, so Zhang Ao's order, they will fully cooperate.

"Yes, the minister will repair the book, and he must rush before a large number of people arrive in Handan, so that Guan Gao and them can prepare first."

"Good.

There's nothing to do, you follow the queen first, go and see Lu Yuan.

Chen Ping, you can stay for a while. ”

When Lu Pheasant walked out of the palace gate, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Chen Ping's silhouette like a jade tree in the wind.

Yes, the chief officer of the spy matter has always been Chen Ping, and Lu Pheasant secretly reminded himself, but don't ignore this important figure.

***

Chen Ping, who is nearly middle-aged, has been a well-known beautiful man since he was weak, with a face like beautiful jade, tall and handsome, and is quite famous in his hometown Yangwu County.

Because he is so good-looking, people who see him for the first time always find it difficult to imagine that such a handsome person comes from a poor family with four walls.

Chen Ping's parents died when he was a child, and he relied on his brother Uncle Chen, who worked hard every day to cultivate 30 acres of thin fields and raise him to adulthood.

Due to poverty, the family only has a mud-walled thatched hut, and the brothers can't afford to buy a door panel, so they use a mat as the door all the year round.

Fortunately, the young Chen Ping is not a thing in the pool, he is full of eloquent edge, and he does not need to wait too long to usher in the opportunity to emerge.

In the lives of the villagers, every year in spring, March and autumn and September, a grand and solemn spring festival and autumn festival are held, collectively known as the community festival, to report the harvest of the year to the shrine god in charge of the people.

The social festival is the most important event in the lives of ordinary people, and in the Kushang Li where Chen Ping lives, it is usually presided over by the highest-ranking Li Zheng.

After the shrine is worshipped, the remaining offerings such as chicken, duck and mutton will be distributed to the residents living in the shrine.

And this flesh-sharing work often falls on Chen Ping's shoulders.

Because, only Chen Ping's sacrificial meat can be appreciated by everyone, and everyone praises him for being good at slaughtering a mile.

Nine hundred years later, Confucian scholars always talked about Chen Ping's division of meat, and they always focused on his fairness.

However, there are more than 100 families living in the library, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve fairness and equality every time;

Therefore, Lu Pheasant in the previous life has already seen that Chen Ping's wisdom has gone one step further in the realm of blindly demanding fairness-

Although he is a scholar, he has a deep insight, not pedantic or rigid.

He is well versed in weighing the pros and cons, and knows which families are the fundamental and bottom line that really need to be kept.

And which people are slightly offended but don't count,

Also, which people don't dare to say much even if they suffer a small loss.

Under the surface of a glorious moon, Chen Ping is actually a terrifying pragmatic person.

***

What's even more interesting is that every time after dividing the meat, the delicate Chen Ping always wiped the greasy on his hands while smiling and saying,

"If one day I were to preside over the affairs of the state, I would be able to do it like meat, and make everyone praise."

Later, at the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and Chen Ping, who didn't even have a door, finally waited for the opportunity to jump the dragon gate.

He joined the Han army camp late, as a strategist, in terms of qualifications, he is far inferior to the meritorious Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and in terms of personal ability, he is not as outstanding as the generals.

However, Chen Ping's survival criterion is very simple, never form a faction, only rely on the core of power, whoever has the most power, he will wholeheartedly become his most loyal courtier.

There are records in the history books, and throughout Liu Ji's life, Chen Ping has always been one of his most favored courtiers.

Later, Liu Ji died, and the famous Empress Lu secretly exercised power, and Chen Ping became a close minister of Lu Pheasant.

Chen Ping, who is such a non-grouped and non-party-bound person, had the last laugh in history, and even witnessed the whole process of the collapse of the Lu Group.

What an admirable smart person, Lu Pheasant sighed, right now, the meat on his case is really the world of Kyushu.

***

Lu Pheasant guessed correctly, what Liu Ji wanted to talk to Chen Ping secretly was really about the second batch of spies sent to the Xiongnu.

Because, Chen Ping is the natural choice to engage in military intelligence work.

Chen Ping was thoughtful, resourceful, witty and strict-mouthed, and as early as when Chu and Han were fighting, he was promoted to lieutenant by Liu Ji and was fully responsible for the management of intelligence agencies and personnel.

Back then, many of the top spies sent by the Han army, only he and Liu Ji knew the details.

At present, the spies sent to the Xiongnu are related to the success or failure of the Han and Huns, how can it not be led by Chen Ping?

For this arrangement, Chen Ping himself is also like a mirror.

The noisy and chaotic plans to release spies from Zhao Di are all to hide people's eyes, they are outcasts, wasted hands, temptations, and live targets;

Next, what the emperor has to discuss with him is the real key to victory.

"You go and choose a group of first-class students, regardless of men and women, regardless of origin, regardless of old and young, all of them want to be among the dragons and phoenixes, the kind that is smart enough to squeeze out oil."

Although there was no one else in the hall, and even the palace people were retired, Liu Ji still unconsciously lowered his voice.

In "The Art of War: The Use of Space", spies are divided into five categories, in order: the countryside, the interior, the anti-room, the dead and the living.

In general, the countryside is intended to be used to get words from the mouths of the enemy's fellow villagers and peers;

Inside, the elite and officials who aim to buy and exploit the enemy camp;

On the contrary, as the name suggests, it refers to the buying and use of enemy spies;

Death refers to those spies who deliberately transmit false information to the enemy, because the enemy will kill the spy after discovering it, hence the name Death Room, implying their inevitable fate.

And the life room that Liu Ji wants to send is the most difficult and effective of the spy, pointing to the enemy to insert spies, lurking for a long time, and transmitting intelligence from time to time.

"Yes."

Chen Ping responded and continued to listen to Liu Ji's words.

"It's still the old rule, among these students, they all choose those who have families, families, wives and children in Handi, and support their families with good food and clothing, so that they don't have to worry about the future."

"Yes."

This is also the usual method of coercion, the good name is that the court provides for the family, but in fact it is a hostage, if the spy who goes deep into the enemy camp makes meritorious service, the family members in the rear will be rewarded, but if they have two hearts, the family will be the first to be killed.

"It's just that the Huns are too bitter, I heard that they are covered in the sky and the earth is felt, and in the felt tents of ordinary people, there is not even a bed, and they are all wrapped in sheepskin and sleeping on the ground.

You must carefully investigate, if it is only because of the temptation and not the people who serve the court loyally, I am afraid that you will not be able to endure this suffering. ”

Both of them understood that it was very different from the previous places to install ears and eyes in Chuying and other places, the desert was far away, and it was a different race, and the language and customs were very different, and it was destined to take a long time, and it could be turned back in two or three years, which was a great test of the strength of the spy's mind.

"Yes." Chen Ping pondered for a moment,

"The minister thought, why don't you select a group of people who come out of the surrounding counties and have a deep blood feud with the Huns?"

"Yes, you can just let it go.

When you have all the people selected, you don't need to reply to me, just go to Xiao He, and he will find an inconspicuous place near the new Chang'an City for you to train and teach. ”

"Exactly, Chang'an is building a lot of construction, it is noisy, there are many and miscellaneous laborers, and dozens of people are haunted, and no one will pay attention to it."

Chen Ping lowered his head and thought about it, and should claim that it was.
