The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 584: Instigating Sima Shang [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"hiss!"

Wang Ben and other Qin generals took a deep breath, saying that they had contributed to global warming.

In this era when the intelligence system was not so sound, perhaps many famous generals noticed the importance of intelligence, but due to the timeliness and speed limitations of intelligence transmission, they had to put it aside.

However, this does not mean that they are unaware of the horror of an important piece of intelligence.

But no one could have imagined that the intelligence about Bingzhou could be bought directly from the prime minister of a country.

"How did you do it?" Wang Jian didn't believe that Guo Kai didn't know the importance of this information.

"Let's buy some useless information first. As long as Guo Kai gets it, he won't be able to get off the boat!" Yan Yan said casually.

This is not a secret, Luowang and Shadow Guards also know these methods.

Unless you don't take it at the beginning, otherwise it will be equivalent to handing the handle to these intelligence agencies.

In the intelligence agency, people can only enter but not leave, and this applies not only to the agency’s own people, but also to the informants they develop.

In the words of the intelligence personnel, this secret will allow me to live off it for the rest of my life!

Of course, this is only the last resort. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to fight over information that can be bought with money.

Guo Kai was obviously a money-loving person, and he would sell as long as he was paid.

After the failure of the night attack, Sima Shang was indeed reduced to a marginal figure in the Zhao army. He even lost the command of the Wuling Cavalry. Even in the central army meeting, Sima Shang, as the deputy general, could only sit in the corner.

However, facing the aggressive Qin army, the entire Zhao army camp in Liaoyang was unable to come up with any useful solutions.

"So, what's the point of changing generals before a battle?" Sima Shang felt a little regretful.

He is just sitting at home doing nothing, isn't it good for him to just stay there?
Why get involved in this muddy water?

He should have known that Zhao and Handan could not be surrendered, so why did he come?
How he envied Li Mu now. He could just leave when he wanted to, with someone arranging everything for him. He was so free and easy.

It was a pity that he couldn't, after all, he was from Zhao and had a family.

In other words, as a deputy general, he was actually arranged by Handan to monitor Li Mu.

So, Li Mu could leave, but he couldn't.

But he didn't know why the once powerful State of Zhao had declined rapidly since King Wuling of Zhao.

They in Zhao State have always been laughing at Wei State for sending away many great talents, but what about themselves?

There is no need to guard against famous generals.

The fierce general left the wilderness.

Then they changed generals every time they won and every time they lost.

I was afraid that someone would really covet the Zhao family's kingdom.

Sima Shang felt sad and didn't care about the central army meeting. Even if he did, it would be useless because no one would listen to him.

As for Liaoyang, he is just dying a slow death, and Handan is just struggling to survive.

If he were in command, he would choose to go all out and die together with the Qin army.

After all, this is Zhao State, and the speed at which they replenish troops is unmatched by Qin State.

As long as they could cripple Wang Jian's main force and gather up the defeated troops and withdraw to Handan, they would have a chance to fight on three fronts.

Unfortunately, his influence is insignificant, and neither Zhao Cong nor Handan would choose his life-risking style of fighting.

"General Sima!"

After the central army meeting ended, Sima Shang was the first to leave the central army tent. Then a guard at the door suddenly fell down. Sima Shang subconsciously went to help him, and then a note fell into his hands.

Sima Shang's eyes darkened slightly, and he calmly hid the note in his sleeve, and the soldier also left quietly.

Sima Shang took out the note only when he was in a place where no one was around.

"Hmm!" Sima Shang's eyes widened as he looked at the contents on the note.

He was all too familiar with this sign.

A large black tripod and two crossed swords. This was the symbol of Bingzhou Military Control. Having been in Yanmen Pass for so long, he was naturally familiar with it.

The Military Control Commission actually targeted him.

Turn the paper over.

"At midnight, in the rear camp."

Sima Shang immediately understood that this was the Bingzhou Military Control Commission's invitation to meet him. As for what they wanted to do, Sima Shang was also very clear. It was nothing more than the defense map of the entire Liaoyang City and the marching plan.

If he had just arrived in Liaoyang, Sima Shang would have told Zhao Cong about this without hesitation, but now...

Sima Shang crumpled the note into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

As the moon rose, several figures appeared on a small hill behind the Zhao army's rear camp.

"Your Majesty, do you think Sima Shang will come?" Mo Ya was a little curious.

Sima Shang was, after all, an old man who had followed Li Mu, and his loyalty to the State of Zhao was beyond doubt.

So Mo Ya didn't think Sima Shang would come.

“If Li Mu was the commander, Sima Shang would definitely tell Li Mu and then send a large army to capture us, but now…” Yan Yan smiled.

Sima Shang is in a miserable situation now. When the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked; when the bird is dead, the bow is put away.

Sima Shang, who was no longer needed to monitor Li Mu, was no longer of any use to the State of Zhao.

Sima Shang, who had followed Li Mu, had a strategic vision, so he knew Zhao's situation better.

Sima Shang, who was born into an aristocratic family but not a great noble, naturally had to leave a way out for his family and find a way out for himself.

Sure enough, at the moment of midnight, a breeze blew up from the foot of the hill, and a figure suddenly appeared, then looked around before landing on the hill.

"I heard that you want to see me?" Sima Shang asked in a deep voice, looking at the two people in black clothes and masks in front of him.

"General Sima is in a worrying situation!" Mo Ya said.

Sima Shang glanced at Mo Ya sideways without saying anything. With the ability of the Military Control Commission, they would naturally be able to find out his situation.

"I wonder which military commander you are?" Although Sima Shang was in a bad situation, he was still one of the top generals of the Zhao State. People with insufficient status could not give him the promise he wanted.

"Captain of the Military Control Commission's Handan Station!" Mo Ya answered calmly.

The Military Control Commission had branch stations in every country, and the station chief had the same status as a colonel in the army.

Although the military rank of the station chief of Ducheng Station was not high, he was almost half a level higher than a general.

Sima Shang was naturally aware that the stationmaster of Handan Station was qualified to talk to him directly.

"What do you want?" Sima Shang asked directly.

"The defense map of Liaoyang City's treasury!" Mo Ya said.

"Huh?" Sima Shang was stunned.

He thought that Bingzhou wanted the army's marching map and city defense map, but he didn't expect that what the Military Control Commission wanted was the defense map of Liaoyang's treasury.

"Aren't you here to help the Qin army get the city defense map?"

Sima Shang asked again to confirm.

"Will you give it?" Yan Yan asked with a smile.

After all, Sima Shang was an old man who had followed Li Mu. It was impossible for him to hand over the army's city defense map to frame the Zhao soldiers.

Even if Sima Shang gave it to them, they would not dare to believe it.

Moreover, Qin is Qin and Bingzhou is Bingzhou, and Bingzhou has no obligation to provide this information to the Qin army.

"You want to take advantage of the situation!" Sima Shang understood.

Bingzhou wanted to secretly take away the treasures in Liaoyang treasury while the Qin army and Zhao State were fighting, which was in the interests of Bingzhou.

With the capabilities of the Military Control Commission, it would be easy to secretly take away the treasures from the treasury of Liaoyang City.
