Chapter 159 [Intelligence War]
Ps: There is so little information about Yiqiu. It is definitely a situation where you can’t even buy a book. So it’s actually very difficult to write this passage. It’s not very good today. This chapter is a little short, please forgive me.
It is common for eagles to fly over the grassland, but recently there have been some strange falcons. They rarely circle in unnecessary circles, and they do not even catch birds and hares. They often fly in a straight line and suddenly descend. There must be a red flag and a ghostly guy at the landing location.
Gongshu sent dozens of disciples to this end, all of whom were the best craftsmen and the most popular people in the grassland tribe. Gongshu was different from the Mo family. Moshu disciples helped the weak and eliminated the strong and would contribute their skills free of charge. Gongshu was relatively selfish. Gongshu's children traveled around the world and wanted to sell their own skills. This relationship that tied up money and interests was actually stronger, at least it would not cause doubt. This era was inseparable from carpenters. Building houses requires use, making a table and a wood, and even weaving a mat, they were also the best tailors. Therefore, craftsmen in the world gave more Gongshu. Even if they were not the direct descendants of Gongshu, they would inevitably be unclear to Gongshu.
This time it was not Bai Dong's request, but Gongshu's volunteer. From appreciation to assistance, and then to the close bondage of each other's interests, Gongshu's has tied himself to Bai Dong's chariot. If Bai Dong had not gone to the army, Gongshu's master would have come to Liyang to participate in his wedding. This time, the efforts for the Qin army were indeed for Bai Dong's sake, and it was also an opportunity for Gongshu's to enter the house.
Yiqu lacks professional intelligence personnel like Jingjian, let alone establish an intelligence agency. Today, it still relies on mobile herdsmen to convey information. It is terrible not to care about the consequences of the world. It is not clear that Lao Qin has issued two new laws, and the Gongshu has applied for two patents and transferred them to the Bai family for free. The reputation of Bai Wu Dadu has spread throughout the countries in Shandong, but on the Longdong grassland, he is not even as powerful as a wolf king.
Bai Dong fought an intelligence war. The Gongshu family with a small red flag hidden under his butt took their iconic saws and wooden hammers and set off. The first intelligence network composed of craftsmen in the history of the Warring States Period was secretly opened on the Longdong grassland; they were all honest men, and they were obviously people who made a living by craftsmanship. They had calluses on both hands, and they were all concentrated at the fingertips. There were no calluses on the side of the index finger of the right hand, only traces of being struck by ink lines. If they were scholars or old Qin soldiers who had practiced craftsmanship, there would definitely be thick calluses on the side of the index finger. Yiqu people who were good at riding and shooting could tell at a glance.
These skilled craftsmen will be warmly welcomed by Yiqu people. They will not look for the main force of Yiqu. If they are pulled into the team to repair the city wall for free, it will be miserable. They will only approach the hospitality herdsmen, exchange their craftsmanship for their goat milk wine and hand-catch meat, and provide the most satisfactory service to the shepherds after eating and drinking. Then they will inevitably chat a few times; these selected craftsmen are experts in the world, and most of them can speak a few words of Rong Di, so communication is not a problem.
Most people in Yiqiu are extroverted and can definitely find some secrets from them. Even if it is just a few words, when these information is combined, it becomes useful intelligence. Intelligence expert Jing Jian is now in the Lao Qin military camp. He is waiting to receive this information and then find information useful to Lao Qin. This is his profession, and Bai Dong cannot compare to it.
The war lasted for three months, and the letter from home was worth ten thousand gold. Mr. Du Fu must have never used the letter from Feiying. With this thing, it was simply convenient. A Bai family man brought a gray-backed falcon with the army who transported supplies. At the same time, Bai Dong's letter to his mother and a love letter to his bitter wine. In just one day, the gray-backed falcon came with his letter to his family and a reply from his bitter wine.
My mother's letters should have been written by Yang Zhu. The brushwork is steep, but the words are warm. Everything at home is fine, and the grass has already opened to "Spring and Autumn". Mr. Yang is still praising her. What my mother is most worried about is not that Bai Dong forgot her, but that Bai Dong missed her too much and stopped hurting her body. Be careful when she is away from home alone. Even if Mr. Qin is by her side, you must not be careless. Can you still be used to the food in the military camp?... This is the mother's thought. Ah, the mother is worried that even when Bai Dong is 80 years old, she is still a big child who needs advice in her mother's eyes. Bai Dong still saw her smiling face in the letter of bitter wine, which is very beautiful, like a flower; she smiled and said to Bai Dong that she was preparing for the wedding, and her new wedding dress was ready, and beautiful flowers were embroidered on it. You will definitely like it. By the way, do you still remember the two conditions proposed by others? You must do it, otherwise they will not marry...
Bai Dong smiled. It shouldn't be used for too long. No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hunter's eyes. Yiqu people have been hiding for a long time.

Mo Xun is not surnamed Mo. In fact, he is the side branch of Gongshu. His grandfather was originally a illegitimate child of Gongshu, and his father was a illegitimate child of Gongshu, so he did not even have the qualifications to use Gongshu's surname. Gongshun is quite caring for these illegitimate children, and he will also admit that they are Gongshun people in terms of status, and can also learn skills in the family. After the art is completed, he can stay in the clan and listen to the arrangements of the head of the Hou family, or go out to make a living by himself. Mo Xun has traveled for three years, but after his methods and temperament have been fulfilled, he returns to the family.
He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to gain family recognition and use Gongshu's surname as a side branch. He waited for five years. Unexpectedly, the old Qin State doctor Bai Wu gave him this opportunity in the end. He hid the small red flag used to receive the eagle, brought a few meat pigeons, carried a bag, and even left a letter to his family, so he strode into the Caohai from Longdong. He believed that he would definitely come back. Even if he wanted to write a letter to his family, he should make contributions to the family, use Gongshu's surname and be listed in the ancestral hall!
Every few days, the children of Gongshu like Mo Shi will enter the grassland. Perhaps before they can find Yiqiu herders, they will be swallowed by wolves and bitten to death by poisonous insects. Half of them will return alive. Every time the children of Gongshu leave, Bai Dong and Junbian will climb up to the watchtower and watch their figures go away. Gongshu is not an easy person to be moved, but they cry like a woman every time. Among these children, there are illegitimate children and direct descendants. Whether they are in danger is not determined by their identity, but they are only related to their abilities.
These Gongshu children are fighting for themselves and for the fate of Gongshu. The Gongshu family is no longer willing to be famous for their own work. They are closely surrounded by Dr. Bai Wu, approaching Lao Qin, and finally listed in the court. This is the major plan set by the head of the family. For this, even if there are many children in the family sacrificed, it is worth it.
On the day when the last Gongshu son left, Jun turned to look at Ying Quliang: "It's time for the army to be dispatched."
"Yes, we have been waiting for Tu Yu for too long and can't wait any longer. We should have fought a few battles. The more we affect the Yiqu army, the more convenient these Gongshu children find the news we need."
Ying Quliang focused his head, his eyes were a little cold: "Don't let me find the main force of Yiqu King..."
