Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1403 Xu Du Under the Undercurrent

Ming Dynasty, Yudu City.

The battle broke out on the front line, but for the Ming Dynasty, it didn't feel too much. Maybe it was just news one by one, which made people talk a little more after dinner.

If it was before, the common people were actually very worried, for fear that the battle lost by the Ming army would cause their peaceful days to be gone forever.

But during this period of time, reports came one after another, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, the Ming army preemptively attacked the Ming country. Before the princes from all walks of life besieged and killed the Ming country, they had already taken the first step. The army besieged Jianye City and killed the king of Wu. This battle broke out after newspaper after newspaper, and the common people Those worries disappeared, and they firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty would not fail.

But now that the army is on the front line, compared to the capital, it is naturally relatively quiet, and in this environment, no one dares to be careless.

From the founding of the government to the founding of the country, the Ming army fought all the way and killed countless people. Although they are deeply popular now, there are also many people who secretly want to move and want to bring down the Mu family.

Therefore, compared with the security of Yudu City, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. From the outside, it looks like there is not much movement. This is to make the people feel at ease. Huo personally took charge of the headquarters of the Six Gates, and the main forces of the two battalions left by the Divine Guard did not dare to relax for a moment, and were always in a state of preparation for battle.

more importantly.

Jing Wusi's eyes seemed to be everywhere, and he tried his best to put the whole Yudu under his sight.

The government office of Jingwu Division.

Xin Zhao got down on his knees and did it.

He should have also rushed to the battlefield, but in the end he turned around in Shangyong, because there was no news of anyone in Yudu, so he had to come back to sit in charge.

He reviewed some news for a while, and after categorizing them, he distributed the news to different subordinates: "The task of our right division is to stabilize the Ming Dynasty, but the rules cannot be broken, you can wait and see, and you must not give it to anyone. If we find traces of surveillance officials, once we find them, clean them up immediately, and don’t lose too much because of small things!”

There are two left and right divisions in Jingwu, and the left division is external, collecting news from the princes of the world, and understanding the movements of the princes of all parties.

And the right division, on the inside.

Yousi is actually to supervise the central and local officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even monitor the power of officials above the governor level. Of course, this is not made public. Once discovered, no one can reveal the identity of Jingwusi.

After all, the supervisory minister is the way to die.

If the situation is tense during non-wartime, Xin Zhao would not dare to supervise the officials, unless there are officials who have already registered to surrender to the enemy, otherwise whenever he reveals the existence of the supervisory officials, Mu Jing will first give him to him without the help of others. Killed.

"promise!"

The six or seven people standing in front of Xin Zhao were all dressed differently, some wore silk and satin, some wore plain clothes, some looked like butchers, and some were polite.

The Right Division is different from the Zuo Division. The Zuo Division is developing rapidly. Branch offices have been established in the localities. There are not a few envoys in charge of the banner. .

Most of the main force is in this headquarters. They don't even show up on weekdays, and even pretend to be servants of a mansion, a street salesman, an ordinary woman...

Compared with Zuo Si, You Si's biggest advantage is mystery. Except for Zhao Xin, even Tan Zong dare not say that he has brought out all Jing Wu You Si's people.

"Wei Yi!"

"exist!"

"Your position is very important. You continue to stare at Yuducheng now, but be careful in everything. If you reveal your identity, it will be difficult for a certain person to keep you. I shouldn't use you. After all, you belong to my right division." A trump card, but the current situation is not right, this is a wartime, everything is our own responsibility for the safety of our Ming country, I would rather kill a hundred by mistake, and not let one go, but if there is any trace, who intends to surrender to the enemy and treason, since it is under surveillance , can't give anyone a chance!"

Xin Zhao's voice was so gloomy that it made people shudder.

"Yes!"

Wei Yi is Zhao Xin's capable general, the same as the right secretary, but no one knows that he is also a court official, a small clerk in Zhaoming Pavilion.

It just so happens that with his identity, under the best cover, he can use the news from Zhaoming Pavilion to investigate the officials of various ministries and keep a close eye on them. "Commander, news from Zuo Si!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside.

"Zuo Si?"

Xin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't think too much about Zuo Si, but Tan Zong left Yudu at a critical time, and there was no news, so he had to worry.

Tan Zong is definitely a lunatic, but he doesn't have much reason. If he moves, he will be very fast, and he will even be caught off guard.

In recent years, there have been many problems caused by the asymmetry of information between the left and right companies.

"Bring in the news!" Xin Zhao ordered.

"Yes!"

A confidant went out and brought in the news.

Xin Zhao spread out the news, looked at it, and his eyes froze for a moment: "This guy is really not afraid, he ran to Xudu again, he really thought that Xu is his back garden!"

"Commander, why did Commander Tan go to Xudu?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

"Top Secret!"

Xin Zhao shook his head, then burned the message recorded in code in his hand, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to leave for a while, order Ming Wu to come back and sit in the right department!"

Mingwu and Weiyi are his right-hand men. Relatively speaking, Mingwu is more like him and more stable. Weiyi is a little young and inexperienced, so once he leaves Yudu, Weiyi alone can't help Take control of the situation.

Ming Wu must be invited back.

"Yes!" One of his subordinates quickly sent a message.

"Right now, Yue Shu personally dispatches news in the Nanzhou battlefield, and Yang Qing in the Guanzhong battlefield. For the time being, there won't be any big problems, but it's impossible to take it lightly!"

Xin Zhao looked at his confidantes, and couldn't help but ordered: "Although there has always been competition between the left and right divisions, but now it is about the survival of the Ming Dynasty, Jingwu Division should work together to assist the king and win this battle. Therefore, if the communication between the two battlefields is insufficient, if Zuo Si's strength is insufficient, you must make up for it immediately!"

"promise!"

Several people looked at each other and felt a dignified breath.

Someone couldn't help but asked, "Commander, are you leaving Yudu?"

"It's time to go!"

Zhao Dao said: "When I discover the remnants of the ten servants, I always have to clean them up myself!"

The most important thing is that Tan Zong couldn't hold on to such a big situation in Xudu, otherwise he wouldn't send news to ask for help, so he still decided to make a trip by himself.

......................................................

Compared with Ping An in Yudu City, Xudu, the capital of the Han Dynasty, as the place where the emperor is located and the imperial court stands in today's world, seems a little impetuous.

The imperial court did not have the background of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Kingdom has developed very well in recent years, especially in agriculture, with repeated innovations in technology and a large increase in output. Moreover, the Ming Kingdom attaches great importance to the development of agricultural water conservancy, and has insisted on cultivating fertile fields for many years.

After a few years, the grain of the Ming Kingdom is now enough to sustain the Ming Kingdom for three years.

The imperial court, however, did not have this background.

In the front of the battle, the rear is facing an exploitation relatively speaking. Everything is better than the supply on the battlefield. This makes the lives of the people worse and worse, and a lot of food is forcibly taken away.

Complaints in the hearts of the people will naturally lead to imbalances in the hearts of the people and turmoil in the hearts of the people.

The most important thing for you is that last year the imperial court launched a crusade against Hebei, and suddenly turned its guns to deal with the Ming Dynasty. Ming Wang Mujing was also called the Son of Destiny, which made the people even more uneasy.

However, under the suppression of the powerful forces of the imperial court, Xu Du was still stable.

When Cao Cao went to battle, it was Xun Yu who guarded Xudu.

But on the bright side, the person in charge of the Wei Palace is Cao Ang, and Xun Yu is assisting Cao Ang. Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao and the first heir to the title of King Wei, as opposed to the heirs of the princes.

He captured Qingzhou last year.

Although Qingzhou was the territory that Yuan Tan voluntarily released in order to raid the Yanjin battlefield, the common people didn't know it. They only knew that Cao Ang personally led the army and took Qingzhou.

Such achievements have brought Cao Ang a lot of reputation.

It also established Cao Angnai's position as the first heir of the Cao family.

Cao Ang's personal guarding of Xudu can be regarded as giving confidence to many people who support Cao Cao, because they know that even if the front line is defeated, or even Cao Cao dies in battle, there is at least one Cao Ang who can support Cao Wei.

On this day, the wind is sunny and sunny.

On the mansion of King Wei.

Cao Ang and Xun Yu are discussing the issue of grain supply.

"My lord, the front line must need more food and grass, but now we can't make up this amount at all. Once the front line runs out of food and the military plane is delayed, none of us can bear it!"

Cao Ang looked a little dignified.

Cao Ang, who has become more mature, has a bit of Cao Cao's bearing. In comparison, he is more generous than Cao Cao, because he does not have the suspicious character of Cao Cao.

"You don't have to worry about the matter of food and grass. In fact, the king has already arranged it properly last year. For this reason, Xu Du's blood almost flowed into rivers. It is not a big problem to concentrate and transport the front line. The key is Xu Du's safety, which is the biggest thing for the king. support!"

Xun Yu had a bit of a headache recently, and couldn't help rubbing his head with his hands.

The object of his headache was not Cao Ang in front of him.

Nor is it a distant war.

There is Cao Cao on the battlefield. Whether Cao Cao can win the battle is not up to him to decide. He has always been self-aware, and it is enough for him to do his own thing well.

As for the confrontation on the battlefield, Cao Cao never let him down.

The object of his headache is the emperor in that palace.

He, Xun Yu, was able to work when he was young, so he was called Wang Zuozhi by the great Confucians in Yingchuan. Not to mention his talent and learning, his wisdom alone is unmatched by few people.

Many times, he was unwilling to pay attention to the conflicts between the Han family and the Cao family.

But it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

As the leader of the Yingchuan family, he is also the pillar of the family, how could the movements of the family be hidden from him.

Xun Yu often has one eye open and the other closed.

Because he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

However, he also knows that only Cao Cao can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Although Cao Mengde often does things out of line, he does not respect the Han Dynasty, and does not even put the emperor in his eyes, but looking at the world, there are very few people who can still take the Han Dynasty in their hearts. Few, Cao Mengde is one.

He often maintains stability, balances the relationship between the two parties, and maintains the peace of the court.

But he found that people's hearts are too unpredictable.

Especially the young emperor.

After many trials and tribulations, this is a very resilient and ambitious emperor who is still unwilling to give up even though he knows he can't do it.

"My lord, is there a problem with these memorials that Ang has dealt with?" Cao Ang felt relieved when he heard Xun Yu say that food and grass were not a problem. Cao Cao trusted Xun Yu more than he would explain many things to him. Since Yu said there was no problem, it is estimated that there is really no big problem, but he felt a little weird seeing Xun Yu's expression.

"no!"

Xun Yu quickly said: "The son has become more mature in government affairs. In the future, as long as he accumulates more experience and is considerate of the people's sentiments, he will surely be able to inherit the ambition of the king!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xun, for your suggestion!"

Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

"If the son has nothing else to do, I will retire first. Now that the hearts of the counties and counties are bright, I have to go and appease them, and I can't let them hinder the king's mood to fight on the front line!"

Xun Yu said.

"Please sir!" Cao Ang said respectfully.

After Xun Yu left, the hall was empty, and Cao Ang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since General Zhong Lang is here, why hide!"

"My son has such a keen sense!"

Jia Xu came out from the darkness, a cloak covering her whole body.

"Zhonglang will dress up like this, did something happen to him?"

Cao Ang stared at Jia Xu.

Before Cao Cao left Xudu, he warned him that he could ask Xun Yu about government affairs if he was undecided. As for other matters, if he wanted to know anything or couldn't figure it out, he could rely on Yelou.

General Yelou Zhonglang is a Xiliang scholar who surrendered. He doesn't like it very much, but he doesn't reject him, and he can get along in harmony.

But during this period of time, Yelou can relieve his worries everywhere, at least it can let him know the whole Xudu, and even the movements of the Central Plains, Yuyan, Xu, and Qingzhou prefectures.

For Cao Ang, his father was fighting outside, which was a good opportunity for him to practice, but sometimes, he felt that the pressure was too great. If it wasn't for Yelou's well-informed information, he felt that he would reach out and touch it, and he would be overwhelmed.

"There are indeed some troublesome things!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.

"Say!"

"The Son of Heaven may be moving!" Jia Xu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice.

Many times, he already felt that he was a useless emperor, but he was shocked by him again and again. There is really a lot of power in this guy's hands.

"trend?"

Cao Ang's pupils widened: "My father is fighting for the court, does he still want to take advantage of this opportunity and do something?"

His feelings towards the Son of Heaven are very complicated.

Even his father felt a little dignified about that young emperor, so he naturally didn't dare to say that he was a waste, but he felt that he couldn't show much respect to the prey that had been in the cage all the time.

"My son, don't underestimate the cruelty of the emperor!"

Jia Xu said in a soft voice: "This person was able to come out of a disadvantaged situation, behead Dong Zhuo forcibly, and break away from Xiliang's control. Regardless of his scheming and cunning, he is the best in the world today. Even if the king is here, he should deal with it carefully. !"
