Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 441 Negotiation
After buying two catties of mutton, some fruits and vegetables, and a bottle of wine, Wang Gan returned to the inn.Seeing Yu Huan sitting idle, Wang dared to say: "I have nothing to do today, brother is here to drink. Let's discuss what we should do next."

Yu Huan said: "Now in Ding Jin's territory, you must be careful in everything. Try to drink as little as possible."

Saying so, he still sat at the table and watched Wang dare to put meat, fruits and vegetables on the table.

After drinking a few cups of wine, Wang dared to say: "I heard people say that Liu Yu's envoy has arrived in Yingyang County today. We have to make up our minds about what to do, and we can't wait. Brother is sent by Zhenfu to deal with this matter. What idea?"

Yu Huan smiled: "Ding Jin disagrees, it's fine to make excuses, and he can't tolerate him if he votes for Liu Yu. However, I am good at marching and fighting, and I don't know anything about conspiracy and tricks behind the scenes. You are the person sent by Zhang Jun. This kind of thing depends on you. The Jiyi Division has a special status, and the important generals in your active army don't know, how can I intervene?"

Wang Gan said: "Brother, you are polite. Before coming to Yingyang, Zhang Tongzhi meant that if Ding Jin disagreed, he would be removed and someone who could cooperate would be the leader. Brother has been in Ding Jin's army for a few years, and see who is suitable to replace Ding Jin. ?”

Yu Huan said: "When Ding Jin was in the army, I was the closest to Shi Jian. Shi Jian is not as brave as Ma Xi and Peng Tan, but he hates gold thieves. Ding Jin wants to vote for Liu Yu, he is the first I will not agree. If there is a replacement, it is best to be Shi Jian. However, Shi Jian is the lowest in Ding Jin's army. If he is to be the leader, I am afraid that Ma Xi and Peng Tan will be removed together."

"This is a bit difficult." Wang Gan took a sip of wine, thinking quietly there.

Yu Huan said: "I think that if this matter is going to be successful, someone needs to help. In Ding Jin's army, Luan Qingshan is the one who can help. That day when we left the county office, Ding Jin annoyed me and let Luan Qingshan take the fifth seat." The top spot. Brother, that top spot looks inconspicuous, but it is unusual in Ding Jinjun. Once you sit on it, you will be the leader and have your own power in your hands. Today is different from the past."

"Luan Qingshan—" Wang Gan pondered.This person is no stranger to him. He has done many great things in the East last year, and his character is decent.The biggest trouble is that this person is a deserter in Wang Xiao's hunting army, and Wang Gan has no idea whether he can cooperate.

After a while, Wang Gancai said: "This Luan Qingshan is in the fifth position, does he have his own influence in Ding Jin's army?"

Yu Huan said: "There are still forces. Last year you pacified the territory east of Xiangcheng County, and many people who escaped from the army and became bandits joined Ding Jin's army. They are different from others. Most people regard them as Luan Qingshan is the leader. Taking the fifth position, he can participate in major military affairs, and with the support of these people, Luan Qingshan has a position in Ding Jin's army."

"I see." Wang Gan nodded. "According to my brother, is it to replace Ding Jin with Shi Jian, with Luan Qingshan helping? In this way, it is not easy to get rid of not only Ding Jin, but also Ma Xi and Peng Tan."

Yu Huan nodded and drank silently.Of course it is not easy.Gathering thousands of troops, Ding Jin is no fool.

Wang Gan said: "This matter is so important that I have to report to Zhang Tongzhi. Also, I need to understand the situation here."

Yu Huan said: "Brother, I shouldn't ask about this matter. But at this time, it's better to know more. Your Jiyi Division, there should be someone here in Ding Jin. I don't know what your status is? What can you do?"

Wang Gan looked at Yu Huan, smiled and shook his head: "Brother, there are some things that you shouldn't ask, so don't ask. If you ask, I can't say it. People in Jiyi Division work with their heads up, so don't be careless." .”

Yu Huan shook his head and said no more.

Ji Yisi's intelligence agency was established by Wang Xiaolie, setting rules and selecting talents.After Wang Ruohai arrived at the Zhenfu Division, Wang Xiaolie handed it over.However, only Wang Xiaolie knew about some of the most secret characters.Wang Ruohai only mastered the collection and transmission of information, but could not fully control the entire system.

This is the principle of the intelligence system.It must be graded, kept secret, and the system must be independent.Not the highest intelligence officer, can not grasp all the information.In the words of later generations, Wang Ruohai is actually Wang Xiaolie's chief of staff, and he still can't control everything.

Ding Jin and Zhai Xing are the closest to Wang Xiaolie, so there is naturally Wang Xiaolie's intelligence system here.When establishing these intelligence systems, Wang Xiaolie deliberately did not develop core personnel such as leaders, but focused on selecting suitable people among low-level generals and soldiers.In addition, it is the officials in the army.

It is a custom inherited from the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Many generals were illiterate and unable to handle official documents. There were officials in the army.Just like Yang Yanzhao, who is well-known in later generations, because of illiteracy, Zhou Zheng, an official, was reused.Zhou Zheng took the opportunity to deceive Yang Yanzhao and did many evils.Of course, as Yang Yanzhao's confidant, is it true that Yang Yanzhao is completely unaware of Zhou Zheng's affairs?Probably not.But if you know everything, you shouldn't.The world is taboo, when Zhou Zheng was dealt with, he could only say that Yang Yan was deceived, and he didn't know it at all.

This group of officials has a low status in the army, but they have great power.All major events in the army, it is difficult to avoid them.But they do not lead troops, have no prestige and status in the army.

Wang Xiaolie required the officers and men in the army to be literate, and replaced officials with officers and utility.Among the armies under heaven, Wang Xiaolie is the only one who has no officials in the army.This special group is actually difficult to manage.The generals are illiterate, and they are especially relied on.

Ding Jin started from the militia, with irregular management and few official documents.However, an army of several thousand people cannot be without officials.Several leaders are illiterate, and they are too lazy to take care of daily chores, so the officials have a lot of power.

Wang Xiaohun's intelligence personnel in Ding Jinjun included half of Ding Jinjun's officials.The most important thing is the Diao Weng whom Wang Gan met yesterday.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, the intelligence system was still very simple.Not to mention something as systematic as Wang Xiaolie's, there is often not even a messy one.After Liu Yu became an arbiter, the secret agents sent to the south of the Yangtze River not only did not take care to conceal their identities, but also often frightened local officials with his own north.Wang Xiaolie has seen many omnipotent intelligence personnel in novels and movies in his previous life, and the sophisticated intelligence system has an absolute advantage in this era.

Yu Huan is a regular official under Wang Xiaolie and has nothing to do with Ji Yisi.When it comes to Ding Jin, Wang Gan handles Ji Yisi's affairs.

After drinking, Yu Huan fell asleep.Since you don't ask what you shouldn't ask, then don't bother to worry about it.

Wang Gan went to sit under the crabapple tree outside the house alone, thinking deeply.It's not easy to get rid of Ding Jin, Ma Xi, and Peng Tan at the same time, but it's not too difficult.Wang dared to be confident that as long as he had internal support, he could do it by himself.But the problem is that it is easy to kill these three people, but it is difficult to stabilize Ding Jin's army. If the army of 3000 people is in chaos, it is likely to stir up trouble.

After much deliberation, without the cooperation of people in Ding Jinjun, it would be very difficult to complete this matter.Standing up and looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Gan could not help but sigh.Ding Jin's promotion of Luan Qingshan as the leader provided an opportunity.It's just that the deserters in this army can be trusted?

When he came here, Yu Huan probably didn't think deeply about why he brought Sister Yunu with him.I didn't expect it to be really useful at this time.
