After buying two kilograms of mutton, a few fruits and vegetables, and a bottle of wine, Wang Gan returned to the inn. Seeing Yu Huan sitting around, Wang Gan said, "I have nothing to do today. My brother is here to drink. Let's discuss what to do next."

Do."

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

Saying this, he still sat down at the table to see if the king dared to put meat, fruits and vegetables on the table.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Gan said: "I heard from people that Liu Yu's envoy will arrive in Yingyang County today. We must make up our mind on what to do. We can't wait. My brother was sent by the Zhenfu to deal with this matter.

What’s the idea?”

Yu Huan smiled and said: "It's just that Ding Jin doesn't agree to use the road to pay back the debt. He will not be tolerated if he surrenders to Liu Yu. However, I am good at marching and fighting, but I don't know anything about the conspiracy behind the scenes. You are the person sent by Zhang Jun. This

This kind of thing depends on you. Jiyisi has a special status, and even the important generals in the army don't know about your activities, how can I interrupt?"

Wang Gan said: "Brother is welcome. Before coming to Yingyang, Zhang Tongzhi's idea was that if Ding Jin didn't agree, he would be replaced by someone who could cooperate with him. My brother has been in Ding Jin's army for a few years. Let's see who is suitable to succeed Ding Jin.

?”

Yu Huan said: "I was most familiar with Shi Jian when I was in Ding Jin's army. Shi Jian is not as brave as Ma Xi and Peng Tan, but he hates gold thieves deeply. When Ding Jin wanted to surrender to Liu Yu, he was the first one.

I won't agree. If you want to replace someone, it would be better to be Shi Jian. However, Shi Jian has the lowest status in Ding Jin's army. If he wants 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 and thought quietly.

Yu Huan said: "I think if this matter is to be successful, someone needs to help. Among Ding Jin's troops, the one who can help is Luan Qingshan. That day we left the county government office, Ding Jin was annoyed with me and let Luan Qingshan sit in the fifth position.

The top chair. Brother, that top chair looks inconspicuous, but it is unusual in Ding Jinjun. Once you sit on it, you are the leader, and you have your own power in your hands. Today is different from the past."

"Luan Qingshan——" Wang Gan pondered. This man is no stranger. He did a lot of great things in the east last year, and his character is decent. The biggest trouble is that this man is a deserter from Wang Xiao's hunting army. Wang Gan is not sure whether he can cooperate.

.

After a while, Wang Gan said: "This Luan Qingshan has taken the fifth position. Does he have his own power in Ding Jinjun?"

Yu Huan said: "There is still some power. Last year you pacified the territory east of Xiangcheng County. 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. After taking the fifth position, he can participate in major events in the army. With the support of these people, Luan Qingshan can be considered to have a status in Ding Jinjun."

"I see." Wang Gan nodded. "According to my brother's wish, Shi Jian is to replace Ding Jin, with Luan Qingshan helping on the side? In this way, not only Ding Jin will be eliminated, but Ma Xi and Peng Tan will also be eliminated.

It’s not easy to drop it.”

Yu Huan nodded and drank in silence. Of course this was not easy. Thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered together, and Ding Jin was not a fool.

Wang Gan said: "This matter is important. I have to report it 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. There should be someone in Ding Jin here in your Jiyi Department. I don't know what your status is? What can you do?"

Valley

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. Even if you ask, I can't say anything. People in Jiyi Division work with their heads in mind, and they can't be careless. .”

Yu Huan shook his head and said no more.

The intelligence agency of the Jiyi Division was established by Wang Xiaolie, who set the rules and selected talents. After Wang Ruohai arrived at the Zhenfu Division, Wang Xiaolie handed it over. However, some of the most confidential figures are still only Wang Xiaolie. People know that Wang Ruohai only controls the collection and transmission of intelligence, but cannot fully control the entire system.

This is the principle of the intelligence system. It must be classified, kept confidential, and the system must be independent. If he is not the highest intelligence officer, he cannot have all the information. In the words of later generations, Wang Ruohai is actually Wang Xiaolie’s chief of staff, and he cannot Take control of everything.

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

It was a habit inherited from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties that many generals were illiterate and could not handle official documents. There were officials in the army. For example, the well-known Yang Yanzhao in later generations used his official Zhou Zheng because he was illiterate. Zhou Zheng took the opportunity to deceive Yang Yanzhao and did many evil things. . Of course, as a close confidant of Yang Yanzhao, is it true that Yang Yanzhao was completely unaware of Zhou Zheng’s affairs? Probably not. But if everyone knows everything, it shouldn’t be. The world is a taboo, and when Zhou Zheng is dealt with, all he can say is that Yang Yanzhao Yan Shizhao was deceived and had no idea.

The official group has a low status in the army, but has great power. It is difficult to avoid them in all major events in the army. However, they do not lead troops, and have no prestige or status in the army.

Wang Xiaolie required the generals in the army to be literate, and replaced the officials with officers and utility officers. Among the armies in the world, Wang Xiaolie is the only one who does not have officials in the army. This special group is actually very difficult to manage. The generals are illiterate, and it is difficult for them to manage them. They are particularly dependent on it.

Ding Jin started from the militia, and the management was irregular and there were few official documents. However, an army of several thousand people could not do without officials. Several leaders were illiterate and too lazy to take care of daily chores. The officials had great power.

Wang Xiaolie's intelligence personnel in Ding Jin's army included half of the officials in Ding Jin's army. The most important one was Diao Weng, whom Wang Gan met yesterday.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, the intelligence system was still very rudimentary. Not to mention the systematic one like Wang Xiaolie, there were often even scattered ones. After Liu Yu took over power, the agents sent to the south of the Yangtze River not only did not bother to conceal their identities, but also often used the name of their northern country. To scare local officials. In his previous life, Wang Xiaolie had seen many omnipotent intelligence agents in novels and movies, and his sophisticated intelligence system had absolute advantages in this era.

Yu Huan is a regular official under Wang Xiaolie and has nothing to do with Jiyisi. When Ding Jin comes here, Wang Gan can handle the affairs of Jiyisi.

After drinking, Yu Huan fell down and fell asleep. Since he didn't ask questions when he shouldn't, he didn't bother to worry about it.

Wang Gan went alone under the crabapple tree outside the house and sat deep in thought. Although it was not easy to get rid of Ding Jin, Ma Xi, and Peng Tan at the same time, it was not too difficult. Wang Gan was confident that as long as there was cooperation from within, he could do it alone

It can be done. 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 three thousand people gets into chaos, it is likely to disturb the situation.

After much deliberation, it would be difficult to complete this matter without the cooperation of people in Ding Jin's army. Standing up and looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Gan couldn't help but sigh. Ding Jin promoted Luan Qingshan to be the leader, which did provide an opportunity. It's just that

Can this deserter in the army be trusted?
