Secret spy is a very dangerous job. Once it falls into the opponent's hand. Life is not guaranteed. Often deaths are still very miserable. but. The Phantom Secret Spy under Jushou has been developed for so many years. Has accumulated a whole set of tactics for lurking, spying, collecting and disseminating information. Even if you are not afraid to miss it. There are also many ways to conceal the past. All secret spies undergo rigorous training before being dispatched to perform official duties. After so many years. Hardly suffered any losses. No one in the outside world knows that there is such a force. Development to today. The Phantom's Secret Spy has spread throughout Dahan's territory. They can even be seen in the Western Regions and the grasslands.
but. The situation in Xuzhou today is somewhat complicated. Whether it was Cao Cao's slaughter in the East China Sea, Langya, or Pengcheng. It was Ruo Rong's mischief in Guangling. Killing people is indiscriminate. Chickens and dogs do not stay. The city gate caught fire. Affect the pond fish. Even the Phantom Spy lurking there suffered heavy casualties.
despite this. Still no secret spy evacuated to a safe place without authorization. All this has benefited from the various systems implemented by Liu Xin. If they die in service or become disabled. Their families and children will receive generous condolences. Basically, you can guarantee life-long food and clothing without worry. If they leave their post without permission or surrender to the enemy and rebel. Not only they themselves are in danger of being hunted down at any time. Even their family members and children will be implicated. If it caused serious consequences. Their family members and children will even be sold into slaves.
Not only did no secret spy back down. in contrast. All the secret spies lurking in Xuzhou are still very diligent in collecting all kinds of intelligence in the troubled times. And tried every means to pass this information back to the Phantom Headquarters in Xiangyang.
After Jushou got the intelligence of Cao Cao's indiscriminate killing of innocents. A few days later, we got the news that Ruo Rong was rampantly burned, killed, and looted in Guangling. Don't dare to neglect. He quickly reported to Liu Xin in detail.
After listening to Jusao's report. Liu Xin groaned: "This Ruo Rong is indeed doing a lot of evil. Although he does many wrongdoings, he will die. But we can't wait. Send someone to inform Yu Fan. If Ruo Rong goes to Jiangnan, he will be mortgaged immediately. On the spot. Fa-rectification. Thanks to Guangling's tens of thousands of victims."
Jushou said, "Lord. Ruo Rong's indiscriminate killing is really shameful. But these crimes were not committed under the rule of the Lord. If he comes and runs, he will be executed. Propagating him. It seems something is wrong. If the lord wants to pursue Ruo Rong, why not let Gan Ning lead a military horse into Guangling. Capture him. Let's send it off again."
Liu Xin shook his head. Pointing to the map of the Great Han territory behind him. He said: "Guangling and Wu Jun are separated by Danyang. Only through this section of the river. This is also the Yangzhou navy has long been abandoned. Otherwise, Liu Yao will not let us go back and forth so easily. The refugees from Xuzhou will not be so easy to move to Wu. County. If you send troops to Guangling now, it will become a solitary army. Reinforcement and supply are very difficult. And Guangling itself has been damaged by Ruo Rong. It has no ability to support itself. Besides, Liu Mou will do his best to build this navy army. It is to be of great use. They cannot be allowed to suffer unnecessary losses in these places. Liu is now ordered by the Queen Mother and regent. No matter where Ruo Rong committed the crime, he has the right to deal with him. Why care? The opinions of others."
Ju Suo nodded. I also thought of those Xuzhou people who finally escaped to Guangling. But it is going to suffer this innocent disaster. Can't help sighing: "It's just this way. I don't know how many people will die of freezing and starvation."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "Tell Yu Fan. The refugee camp in Wu County will be set up until next summer. Regardless of the lack of supplies, Liu will try his best to meet their needs. In addition, inform the navy to strengthen the patrol on the river. Ensure that the people of Xuzhou can escape safely. Across the Yangtze River."
After giving this order. Liu Xin also sighed. Said: "Gong and ah. It is inevitable that there are so many people in this world who will be greedy. We can only do our best to do our own thing. It is good to be worthy of this conscience. A few days ago, I proposed that the entire South The Huns were brought under the rule of the Great Han. You have some opinions on this matter. But you didn’t say it. That’s right.”
Jushou smiled embarrassedly. He did have such thoughts at the time. It's just that he has become accustomed to Liu Xin's destiny. Did not say it.
"It doesn't matter if you have any ideas in the future. Liu is not someone who can't tolerate different opinions." Liu Xin patted Jushou on the shoulder. Said with a smile. "Look at you. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng grassland tribes often harass the Han border. But every time they kill my Han people, only hundreds of thousands of people are killed. And Cao Cao killed more than 100,000 innocent people in Xuzhou in one go. People. Even the lesser-known Ruo Rong slaughtered the people as many as tens of thousands. But why do you hate those grassland tribes extremely. And you can be more tolerant towards Cao Cao and Ruo Rong."
Jushou did not expect Liu Xin to ask such a question suddenly. Suddenly stunned. After a long period of thought, he said, "Go back to the lord. The reason why the subordinates and others have such thoughts. Probably because the grassland peoples are all foreign races."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Gong and you. You didn't lie. Most of you think so. Actually. Liu used to think so. When the barbarian army was formed, Liu also held the non-self race. Its The mind must be different. They were equipped with the worst equipment. But still let them rush to the forefront of the battle. However, the performance of the barbarian army did not disappoint Liu. Now I want to come. Liu's thinking at the time was a big mistake. That's wrong."
Jushou said in amazement: "Didn’t the lord have reorganized the Barbarian Legion into the Seventh Legion. The staff has been increased. The soldiers have also been changed from all barbarians to both savages and Han. The equipment is also the same as the regular legions. What's wrong with the lord? Have."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "Liu is not talking about the Seventh Legion. He said, "It's not my race. Their hearts must be different." The idea is simply wrong."
Ju awarded a moment. Said: "It's not my race. Their hearts must be different. Since ancient times. Everyone has thought so. How could it be wrong."
Liu Xin said lightly: "It is indeed wrong. Liu wants to come now. Whether it is a barbarian. Whether it is a Huns. You regard him as a foreign race. When he is an enemy. Then he will definitely be a foreign race and an enemy. He is regarded by foreign races. Treat him like a big man of mine. Only then can he become our friend. Become one of us."
Jushou was taken aback by Liu Xin's bold thoughts. Hurriedly said: "How is this possible. The lord wants to bring that piece of grassland under the rule of the big man. In order to solve the problem of raising horses. But it is understandable. But once you really regard those barbarians as your own people, I am afraid that they will lead the wolf into the room. I hope the lord will think twice."
Liu Xin waved a big hand. Said: "My big man is a big country in China. Is there a heart that embraces the whole world? You don't have to worry. Liu believes. It won't be long. The Xiongnu will be like a barbarian. Think of it as a big man. Proud of the people."
Jushou was also infected by Liu Xin's pride. There was also excitement on his face. Just want to say something. Suddenly the soldiers outside the door came in. He folded his hands and said, "Come to the lord. The third lady please see me."
Except Ma Yun. None of Liu Xin's other women would be involved in political affairs. Not to come to this study. now. Cai Yan came here suddenly uncharacteristically. There must be some important housework to discuss with Liu Xin. Ju taught inconvenience to stay any longer. Quickly got up and said: "The subordinates retire first."
Liu Xin was also very surprised. Waved. Let Ju Sui retreat. When looking out the door again. It was Cai Yan and Diao Chan who walked in one after another. Can't help but say in amazement: "Zhao Ji. Why did you come here. Is something important?"
Diao Chan hurriedly said a blessing. Said: "Back to your lord. It was Minnv who begged the third wife to come."
Liu Xin laughed. Said: "Liu doesn't know how to eat people. Girl Diaochan has to tell Liu if she has something to do. Just come here directly. Why bother with Zhao Ji."
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Even if there is no Diao Chan. Concubine herself wants to come and have a look."
Diao Chan knew that Ma Yun had a clear rule. The study center. The women in the house can't go casually. She was worried that Liu Xin had misunderstood Cai Yan. He quickly said, "My lord. That's the case. The lord said last time. Although the dance of the people's daughter is good, but there is no silk and bamboo to accompany. The female dances. Today, my wife and the others met. They all kept talking..."
Liu Xin slightly raised her hand. Said: "Girl Diaochan. You Yang Zhaoji came today. It's not just to show Liu to see it. Liu thanked the girl for her kindness. It's just that Liu has been busy with official duties recently. I'll be free someday. Go there Admire the girl's dance from the back. Don't blame the girl."
Although there has been no major war recently. But the refugees in Xuzhou, the Huns on the grasslands. Liu Xin couldn't help but feel relieved. He really didn't have much mood to appreciate some singing and dancing.
Diaochan suddenly lowered his head. He whispered: "The folk girls practice the dance book for the sake of the adults. If the adults like..."
Her voice is getting smaller and smaller. Even Liu Xin, who has very good ears, finally couldn't hear what she said behind her. Was wondering what she meant by saying this. Suddenly, her voice grew louder again. Said: "Mennv heard that there are some Hun women from the grassland here. I can sing and dance. Mingnv would like to ask them about dance in the grassland. I also hope that the lord's kindness.
Liu Xin deliberately selected these twelve Xiongnu girls. Neither do they want them to be maids. I don't want them to be dancers. Not to be greedy for their beauty. But to give Hu Chuquan and the others a more personal experience. All of these girls have good looks. Can sing and dance. And most of them are distinguished. There are five daughters of tribal chiefs. Lanier is one of them.
Therefore. Although these Xiongnu girls also live in the Zhoumu Mansion. But Liu Xin did not arrange them in the backyard. Instead, the flower hall on the right side of the study was set aside for them to live in.
now. The purpose of shocking Hu Chuquan has been achieved. These Xiongnu girls would be of no use to stay in the mansion. Liu Xin was thinking about letting them go. Which subordinate is still rewarded. Listen to what Diaochan said. Can't help but smile: "How difficult is this? Liu promised. That's right. Zhao Ji. You are here. You don't want to learn something from them."
