Chapter 2068: Outsmarting Luronce (Part 2)
Now is the era of feudal lords competing for hegemony. The armies of various countries are fighting fiercely on the surface, and the spy wars secretly are also extremely exciting.
Each country has its own intelligence organization, such as: Qin State's Black Ice Platform, Tang State's Bad Guys, Shu State's Da Hehe, Wei State's School Affairs Office, Song State's Imperial City Department, Yuan State's Xuanjing Department... and so on.
The intelligence organization of the Qing Dynasty was at a sticky level, and its leader was Dayu'er, the daughter-in-law of Nurhachi, the wife of Huang Taiji, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
? out out out out?
However, as Sticky Stick extended its tentacles into the Central Plains, it was jointly attacked by the Qin State's Black Ice Platform and spy organizations from various countries. With its strength greatly reduced, it could only temporarily escape back to Liaodong and bribe some sects and aristocratic families. Get information.
Although this method has been effective in the past, it is obviously extremely limited and it is impossible to obtain heavy information, which suddenly puts the sticky stick's intelligence collection into an endless loop.
Seeing that the decisive battle with the Qin army was approaching, there was still little progress in Niangan's infiltration into various parts of the Central Plains and in various aspects of intelligence work. This made Nurhachi start to rush for quick success.
At the beginning of the establishment of Sticky Bar, in order to ensure the purity of Sticky Bar, Nurhachi required that the people he recruits must be strictly inspected, but now he has to personally break the rules he set.
Nurhachi gave an order to Dayu'er. Regardless of whether they are from the three religions or the most stubborn people, as long as they have strength, ability, and are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty, Sticky Branch will accept them.
Da Yu'er naturally strongly opposed this. She believed that this move would greatly increase the strength of the Sticky Branch in the short term, but it would also definitely allow enemy spies to sneak into the Sticky Branch, and the intelligence organization was the most important. of purity.
Nurhachi naturally knew about Da Yuer's concerns, but he believed that as long as he was careful, he would be able to clear out the undercover agents inside the sticky rod, so he remained stubborn.
After Da Yuer’s hard persuasion to no avail, he could only follow Nurhachi’s order, lower the recruitment threshold at Sticky Bar, and spend a lot of money to buy evil masters from the Central Plains.
With various measures, the strength of the stick-stick department has indeed improved, and the intelligence-gathering capabilities have risen by more than one level, but it is no longer the pure stick-stick department it used to be.
Qin Hao and the princes of Hebei, after learning that the Niangan Department was lowering the threshold and recruiting people aggressively, they naturally could not miss this opportunity to send undercover agents to the Niangan Department.
When an intelligence organization is penetrated one-tenth of the way, the organization is basically useless.
How ruthlessly did Qin Hao and the princes of Hebei infiltrate? Nearly one-third of the people in Niangan are their undercover agents, and Niangan has become the Liaodong branch of the major princes.
After that, although Nurhaci cleaned the sticky rod several times, he still failed to pull out all the undercover agents. Instead, he accidentally killed many of his own people. He also made people inside the sticky rod panic and there was a risk of falling apart at any time. The purge can only be given up temporarily to appease people's hearts.
This is also the main reason why during the Qin and Qing wars, the Black Ice Platform moved frequently, but no shadow could be seen on the stick. After all, the interior was unstable, so how could it come out to perform tasks?
Nurhaci thought he could play the game well, but he obviously failed this time. Without the stick to provide intelligence, the Qing army was passive on the Youbeiping battlefield, and had no choice but to switch from offense to defense.
After issuing the order to switch from offense to defense, Nurhachi also issued a strict order to clear out the undercover agents inside the sticky pole as soon as possible so that the sticky pole can continue to operate.
Da Yuer had actually been investigating secretly for a long time. He started executing the order soon after receiving the order and arrested a large number of undercover agents from the four countries of Qin, Yan, Zhao and Han.
In other words, the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han have been destroyed by the Qin State, but there are still spies lurking in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Da Yu'er really has nothing to say about this.
After clearing out this group of undercover agents, Da Yuer thought that the inside of the sticky rod was clean, but unexpectedly, he sent a team of spies out to perform the mission, and was intercepted and killed by Heibingtai lurking in western Liaoning again.
Obviously, someone leaked the secret internally, which also shows that the sticky rod is still not clean.
Having the courage to intercept and kill the people in Sticking's base camp at Sticking's Headquarters shows Heibingtai's arrogance, but Da Yu'er couldn't do anything about it. "well."
Da Yuer sighed and said with a tired look: "The comeback plan is cancelled."
“But sister, His Majesty wants us…”
Before Cixi could say anything, she was interrupted by Da Yu'er: "If you come back before the interior is completely clean, is the information obtained credible?"
“Uh…” Cixi was speechless for a moment.

On the other side, Gongsun Xuanyuan's troops finally bypassed Linyu and Feiru counties after another two days of rapid march. Although they still did not reach Lulongsai, they arrived at their first destination, Jieshi Road.
“Is this the Jieshi Road?”
Zhang Han raised his head and looked at the terrain of the Jieshi Road, and praised: "This place has high mountains, deep valleys, steep cliffs, and unexpected peaks. It is really a rare place that is easy to defend.
If a strong pass is built here, even if the enemy army comes ten times, one man will not be able to open the pass. "
“Although there is no condition to build a pass now, we can build a stronghold. Although the defensive power is not as good as that of Xiongguan, it is more than enough to withstand it for a period of time.”
With that said, Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at Zhang Han and said with a smile: "Vice General Zhang, the task of building a stronghold here to stop the enemy will be left to you."
Zhang Han quickly clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to the general's trust."
Gongsun Xuanyuan left three thousand soldiers and horses, and also left Gongsun He to assist Zhang Han. Before leaving, he warned: "If I leave, I can reach Lulongsai in half a day, and I will burn the Crescent Tower overnight.
With the Lulong Fire, the Qing army in western Liaoning must have learned that although the Qing army is now in the central and eastern parts of western Liaoning, with the marching speed of the Qing army, they will definitely be able to reach Jieshi Road within three days.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Zhang, within three days, you must build the stronghold and be ready for battle. "
Building a stronghold is actually not difficult. A general marching stronghold can be built in less than a day. The difficulty is to build a strong stronghold that is easy to defend, and it is obviously more difficult to build a strong stronghold in a dangerous place like Jieshi Road.
Zhang Han knew how difficult this was, but he still said confidently: "No."
Seeing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then led the seven thousand troops to Lulong and arrived at Guanxia half a day later.
Zhou’s guarantee yesterday
Let me correct an error in the previous article and change the number of troops landing in Liaodong from 20,000 to 10,000.
An army of 20,000 is too large and can easily be exposed, but an army of 10,000 is much better.
