Chapter 460

The second department was responsible for inspection, responsible for the self-inspection of all intelligence personnel, assassination personnel, and protection personnel not included in the first department.

The Military Intelligence was originally a double-edged sword, although it played a significant role in intelligence gathering.

But if there were personnel rebellion, the military intelligence transmitted back might be a trap.

Therefore, it was very necessary to inspect and self-check these intelligence personnel outside.

The second department was for inspection, and the third department was responsible for lurking.

Lurking was a very long task.

Although the world was not in chaos today, the feudal lords who would dominate the Han in the future had not yet risen, but this did not prevent Duan Yu from laying out his plans in advance.

Although he was unable to spare himself now and could not find the whereabouts of those people, he had time.

There were still several years before Liu Hong's death.

In these few years, he would plant lurkers around everyone he knew who might achieve great things in the future.

The method of lurking was also very simple.

The current Military Intelligence gathered some children.

These half-grown children could sell themselves as slaves or servants, approaching those big figures little by little.

Of course, this was a long-term plan, and it was still in the initial stage.

Currently, it was only exploring and experimenting within the scope of Hanyang Commandery.

The fourth department of military intelligence was responsible for assassination.

This was much simpler: training assassins, responsible for secret assassinations.

The fifth department of military intelligence was responsible for protection.

The so-called protection was not the overt protection like Tie Shitou.

But secret protection.

For example, the maids or servants around Diao Chan, Dong Yi, and Suhe.

Although they looked like ordinary maids on the surface.

But if they really encountered danger, these people would be unexpected guards.

And the sixth department of military intelligence that Duan Liuqing just mentioned was responsible for intelligence gathering and transmission.

So far, since Duan Yu arrived in Liangzhou, the sixth department of military intelligence had begun to spread out.

However, due to the small number of personnel, it had not yet formed a unified scale, covering only Hanyang, Jincheng, and Longxi commanderies.

According to Duan Yu's vision, the five departments of the Military Intelligence would cover the entire Liangzhou in the future, and then radiate outward.

"I don't know the specific situation, but the instructor is already waiting for you in the front yard, Master." Duan Liuqing said.

After hearing this, Duan Yu didn't stop and walked directly toward the front yard.

The instructor Duan Liuqing mentioned was Duan Yu's direct disciple, Liu Bai Tu.

Duan Yu taught Liu Bai Tu all the skills he learned about intelligence gathering, assassination, and lurking, and then Liu Bai Tu taught them to the Military Intelligence.

Study in the front yard.

Liu Bai Tu, wrapped in a black robe and still covered in frost, was kneeling and roasting by the charcoal brazier lit in the study.

There was a lot of dust on his black robe.

It looked like he had just returned from a long journey.

When Duan Yu pushed open the study door, Liu Bai Tu stood up immediately.

"Big Brother Duan."

Duan Yu, who had just entered the door, waved at Liu Bai Tu.

Outside the study door, Duan Liuqing closed the door, and no one was within ten steps of the study.

"Sit down."

Duan Yu sat down directly behind the desk in the study.

Liu Bai Tu also cut directly to the point: "Seven days ago, the Jincheng Prefect, Chen Yi, followed the order of the Liangzhou Inspector, Liang Hu, and went to the Shaodang Qiang."

"According to intelligence gathering, Liang Hu wanted Chen Yi to persuade the Shaodang Qiang and other tribes to pay an additional twenty percent in taxes this year."

"To prove that the Qiang tribes had no intention to rebel."

"Liang Hu wanted to use this to submit a memorial to the Imperial Court, asking the court to stop the war and not attack the Qiang tribes."

Hearing this, Duan Yu frowned.

This Liang Hu...

The day after he exposed Ren Tang, Liang Hu left Hanyang Commandery under the pretext of inspection.

Duan Yu didn't care at the time, but later learned that Liang Hu had run to Jincheng Commandery, so he asked Liu Bai Tu to arrange for the sixth department of the Military Intelligence to observe Liang Hu's movements.

"What's going on with those three counties?"

"Since Chen Yi went to the Shaodang Qiang, why did the Qiang tribes suddenly launch an attack?" Duan Yu asked.

Liu Bai Tu took a breath and said: "Prefect Chen... after Prefect Chen arrived at the Shaodang Qiang, he was killed by the Huangzhong Yicong, Beigong Boyu."

"What!"

Duan Yu was shocked.

"Chen Yi... died?"

Liu Bai Tu nodded: "Yes, Prefect Chen died."

"But the Liangzhou Administrator, Cheng Qiu, who went to the Shaodang Qiang with Prefect Chen, did not die."

"The reason the Qiang tribes were able to break the three counties was that Cheng Qiu defected to the Qiang tribes, tricked open the city gates, and then the Qiang tribes and the Huangzhong Yicong were able to quickly break the three counties." Liu Bai Tu said.

Cheng Qiu?

When Duan Yu heard this name, he only felt it was familiar.

"What about Liang Hu?"

"Where is Liang Hu now?" Duan Yu asked with a frown.

"Liang Hu is on his way back to Jixian and should arrive in Jixian by noon today."

Bang!

Duan Yu's fist landed directly on the desk in front of him.

"This dog thing actually ran back?" Duan Yu said angrily: "How does he have the face to come back?"

"Now that the Jincheng Prefect, Chen Yi, is dead, he, Liang Hu, is not sitting in Jincheng, how does he have the face to run back!"

"He sent Chen Yi to the Shaodang Qiang to die, but he ran back alive?"

Duan Yu, who stood up, was as angry as a tiger descending the mountain, cold light bursting from his eyes.

"Someone come."

Duan Yu shouted.

Duan Liuqing outside the study immediately went to report.

After a while, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu arrived outside the study door.

"Immediately order the generals to prepare to set off."

"Also, go to the camp outside the city to notify Benchu and Mengde, and let them immediately prepare the army." Duan Yu ordered.

"Yes!"

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu saw Duan Yu's expression and knew that something big had happened, so they didn't dare to ask and quickly went to pass the order.

Duan Yu looked at Liu Bai Tu again and asked: "What is the direction of the person Niu Yaodi sent out that day?"

Liu Bai Tu took a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Duan Yu: "I was just about to say this."

Duan Yu reached out to take the bamboo tube, removed the wax seal on it, took out an intelligence report from inside, and scanned it twice.

Then his eyes narrowed, his gaze cold. ===== CHAPTER 462 =====
