Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 270 Intelligence trafficker
Wu Luo not only has a detached position on the Qin side, but also is highly valued on the Hu people's side.

At the beginning, Wu Luo was engaged in animal husbandry, raising cattle and sheep. Later, when the number of cattle and sheep increased, he sold the cattle and sheep, bought many commodities in Daqin, and sent them to the Hu people to dedicate them to King Rong. The rewards given to him by King Rong, cattle and sheep, are calculated according to the measurement unit of the valley.

If he is really an ordinary businessman, what qualifications does he have to be so valued by the leader of the Hu people?
The root cause of this is that Wu Luo not only brought the intelligence of the Hu people to the Qin army on Meng Tian's side, but also sold the information of the Qin army to the Hu people.

In this world before BC, to some extent, Wu Luo was a war intelligence dealer, as long as the two sides started a war, he would definitely be able to profit from it.

This model has been used by countless merchants since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Wherever there is war, there will be merchants, and there will be interests.

Before the war begins, merchants can provide military supplies and intelligence, and after the war, merchants can also eat all the spoils obtained by the victorious party.

However, with the unification of Great Qin, all military supplies were gradually controlled by Qin Ting, but the status of merchants still did not disappear.

In this northern border, Wu Luo is the one who stands out, so he will be valued by both the Qin court and the Hu people.

In a war, as a commander, it is natural to hope to know the enemy better. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Perhaps Wu Luo will not generate huge benefits every time the information he provides, or even repeat the information he has already received, but if one day, the information provided by Wu Luo is crucial to his side and can determine the victory of the war .

Well, all the costs are worth it.

Even if this is not the case, it is extremely important to have one more information line that can be verified with the information line that you have already obtained.

It must be known that when the battle is on, as a general, the information obtained is often not just one piece, but a dozen or even dozens of pieces of information are placed in front of him.

If he can clear away the fog of war and judge which is false information provided by the enemy and which is real information, then as a general, he already has the potential of a famous general.

Looking at countless wars in history from the perspective of God, you will find why the commander of the losing side sometimes becomes so stupid?And some of the choices made are unbelievable.

In fact, the basic ability of any general who can command hundreds of thousands of troops is not too bad, but the difference between the two sides lies in the judgment of intelligence and the grasp of fighter opportunities.

The generals who made those unbelievable decisions had a high probability of mistrusting some of the intelligence in their hands, thus misjudging the fighter opportunity, and then making unbelievable decisions, which eventually led to the failure of the war.

The simplest example is the Battle of Changping, when the Qin army secretly changed the main general.

No one in Zhao State knew that the leading general of the Qin Army's front line had been replaced by Bai Qi. Even among the Qin Army, those who knew about it could count on two hands.

If Zhao Kuo knew that what he was facing was Bai Qi, the God of Killing, would he really have the courage to attack aggressively?This is just a false information provided by the Qin army that is well known to future generations.

In fact, in previous wars, in order to achieve the final victory of the war, the two sides used endless means, and in order to confuse the enemy, there were more and more tricks.

Therefore, in this era, there is such a businessman as Wu Luo who has a detached status on both sides.

…………

Fusu inspected the barracks, feeling a little relieved in his heart, these living places are not too bad, having a place to keep out the cold at night is already very good for the soldiers.

"Young master, are the things the general arranged for you okay?" said an official left behind by Meng Tuo.

Fusu nodded, seeing this, the officer said: "Since that's the case, you might as well follow your subordinates to the place where the general lives, so that your subordinates can make business with the general."

Fu Su smiled slightly, and said, "No need, I'll just live here."

"This..." Seeing that Fusu didn't seem to be joking, the official became a little hesitant.

In his mind, Fusu is a noble son from Chang'an, the eldest son of Yingzheng, and he must be very particular about fine clothes and fine food on weekdays.

Living in this environment, how can you bear it?
The official said: "My lord, please don't embarrass your subordinates. Please come and stay in Fushi city!"

Fu Su chuckled, and said: "What's the embarrassment? If General Meng Tian is held accountable for this, tell the truth, I insisted on staying here."

"promise."

Seeing that Fusu Tie was determined to stay here, the officials reluctantly agreed.

Fusu glanced at the sky and said: "It's still early in the morning, why don't the officials take me to Fushi City to have a look?"

"No." Since Fusu has an order, the officials naturally need to obey Fusu's wishes.

Immediately, Fusu's group set off with the officials. Behind Fusu, there were also more than a dozen guards. Everyone had long been accustomed to Fusu's actions.

Starting from Xianyang at the beginning, then went to Shu County, and then went to Jiujiang County, Changsha County, and then Nan County. Every time Fusu stationed in a place, he must first inspect the situation of the soldiers, and then go to understand Some surrounding situation.

This has become Fusu's habit.For these things, Fusu has never slacked off, and has never been afraid of hardship or tiredness.

Fusu knew that it was comfortable to lie in the barracks and sleep, but if one did not understand the actual situation, it would be disastrous in the event of an emergency.

Even if there is a map in front of him at that time, Fusu is not sure whether the map is accurate or not, and how much the actual situation deviates from the map.What do the people think of the Qin army, and what is the condition of the roads around the camp.

Only by clarifying these basic issues can we have a bottom-up mind, no matter what kind of situation we encounter, we will not panic, and the decisions we make will avoid mistakes as much as possible.

Even in Shangjun, the place where Meng Tian is, Fusu did not relax his vigilance because of this, so as to loosen the string in his heart.

After walking in the city for a while, Fusu said: "Officer, is there any place in this city where cattle and sheep are sold and traded?"

Fusu knew that Shangjun was not actually on the front line, and was not under much pressure from the barbarians, but was in a second-line position. However, Shangjun was close to the border, and Fushi was the seat of Shangjun, so border trade activities It should be very developed, so Fusu asked this question.

Hu people need all kinds of daily necessities in the mainland, and the mainland also values ​​the Hu people's cattle, sheep, fur and other items.

Therefore, there is such an exchange.
