You wouldn't know it if you didn't search, but after searching, you would find dozens of spies from the Seven Kingdoms in Zhaocheng. They were either dressed as businessmen or as pawns, and they had various identities.
If it had been before, Ji Jie might have considered letting these people go, expelling them directly, and strictly ordering them not to set foot in the Great Zhou Dynasty for the rest of their lives. But now that the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties are approaching the city, there is no room for loss in the Great Zhou City, and these people cannot stay. .
Except for the two Yan people, the rest were all taken to Caishikou and beheaded in public.
Then, Ji Jian and Zhao Ling sent news that they also uncovered many spies from the Seven Kingdoms in Dragon City and Royal City.
This is not surprising at all. When we were doing business with the Seven Kingdoms a while ago, the gates of the three cities were kept open all day long, creating conditions for spies to sneak in. These people had a great impact on the security of the city.
Ji Jie thought about this carefully and felt that it was necessary to set up a special agency to deal with this matter.
He thought of the Central Unification and Military Unification during the Republic of China. Although these two organizations were notorious, he had to admit that they had achieved many remarkable achievements. The reason why they were reviled by future generations was not because they killed too many people in the future. It is strange that future generations can say a good word about the ** who dominate the world.
This matter can be left to Ji Xueling. The security issues of the generals, assassination operations against the enemy, etc. have always been handled by people trained by her.
In view of this, Ji Jie decided to establish a special service supervisor and an intelligence supervisor.
The Special Service Supervisor is referred to as the Special Service Supervisor. Ji Xueling serves as the Capital Supervisor, with jurisdiction over the Security Department, Operations Department and Liaison Office. Special Service Bureaus are set up in the capitals of the Seven Kingdoms, and special service branches are set up in secondary cities.
The intelligence supervisor, Sima Xueran, serves as the capital supervisor, integrating the scattered family members in various countries. Intelligence bureaus are also set up in the capitals of the seven countries, and branches are set up in secondary cities to be responsible for various intelligence work.
The special service supervisor and the intelligence supervisor are equivalent to modern ministerial-level authorities. The two departments only see each other and cooperate with each other.
At this time, the three Jin coalition forces were stationed twenty miles outside Zhaocheng, clamoring for Ji Jie to surrender voluntarily, otherwise the army would rush into the city and leave no chickens or dogs behind.
Ji Jie ignored them and took the time to integrate the special service surveillance and intelligence surveillance matters, striving to complete the integration of the Great Wednesday City in a short period of time.
The two supervisors had achieved great results as soon as they started cooperating. Sima Xueran used his powerful intelligence network to thoroughly investigate the merchants and outsiders who had recently entered Dazhou, and then handed them over to Ji Xueling after comprehensive analysis.
Ji Xueling first sent a special person to follow up and investigate the suspicious person. Once he understood the target mission and engaged in espionage activities, he would immediately arrest him and then conduct an interrogation.
Except for a few people who spoke harshly, most spies confessed truthfully.
As a result, the three Jin coalition forces outside became deaf and blind, knowing nothing about what was going on in the city. The undercover agents they sent into Dazhou were almost uprooted, and the few who were lucky enough not to be caught quickly stopped their espionage missions. , for fear of being exposed.
Originally, the three generals of the coalition planned to study the specific deployment of troops in the three cities before starting to attack the city. Now, they have no idea how many troops and horses are in the city, how they are allocated, etc.
The three of them, with pale faces, were sitting in the Chinese army tent.
"I guess all the spies we sent have been wiped out!" Han Chuang said with some gloating: "Before the war, the two of them sent several times more people than me, how come they were all taken out by Ji Jie?"
Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou are both cunning and cunning people, and they don't take Han Chuang's words to heart at all.
South Korea has the smallest number of troops among the coalition forces, and Zhao and Wei are about equal, so in most cases it is Zhao Mu and Wei Mou who have the final say. Han Chuang has expressed dissatisfaction with this many times, but this is an era where strength speaks for itself. , if you are weak, you will naturally have no say.
Since we can't learn the deployment of troops in the city from the spies, we can only use the stupidest method to attack the city.
It is very practical and effective to find out Ji Jie's firepower and troop configuration in a fierce battle. The only drawback is that there are many casualties. After all, we are three alliances. Who is willing to do such a thankless thing?
Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou looked at each other, smiled sinisterly at the same time, and then turned their attention to Han Chuang.
"Why, you don't want my people to go up, do you?" Han Chuang refused completely: "I don't agree! You have many soldiers, do you have the nerve to let me take the lead?"
"It's true that I'm a little embarrassed!" Zhao Mu said with a smile: "But compared with the upcoming tough battle, General Han is more suitable for the tentative attack ahead, what do you think?"
"That's right, is it possible for my people to take the lead, and then General Han go up to attack the fortress?" Xiao Wei Mou smiled more sinisterly: "Or maybe I take the lead, and Zhao Jun goes to attack the fortress, while you, General Han, watch from the side, are you so embarrassed? ?”
Han Chuang was so angry that he couldn't say a word, so he waved his hands and left the tent.
Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou looked at each other again and laughed at the same time. One person can never be the opponent of two people. They often join forces like this to set traps for Han Chuang.
…
In the end, Han Chuang compromised. In order to reduce casualties, he secretly used the spies who had been assigned to Zhaocheng from the beginning. The last time the Zhao-Han coalition invaded Zhou Dynasty, he was not willing to use the spies when the war got so bad.
This man's name was Song De, and his identity was extremely secretive. He was not Korean, but was from the Song clan. He was one of the first foreign merchants to settle in Zhaocheng, and he was engaged in the grain and cloth business.
In the middle of the night, Song De came out of the back door wearing night clothes, carrying a mulberry woodworking bag on his back, and there was only one arrow without an arrow in the arrow pot.
Wearing a scarf, he tiptoed through the alley to the city wall. Just as he was about to climb onto the city wall, a rope suddenly stretched out from behind and fastened tightly around his neck. He then pulled hard and pulled him to the ground.
Song De pulled out the dagger hidden in his boot and was about to resist when his hands and feet were held down by four people, making him unable to move.
"Haha, it's just as I expected!" Ji Xueling walked out of the darkness with a sneer, glanced at Song De on the ground, and said: "The intelligence monitor said there were spies hidden in the city. I was still suspicious, but now it seems That’s true! You hid it deep enough. If you hadn’t come to the surface on your own, I would have given up my suspicion on you. What a pity!”
Song De gritted his teeth and asked, "Why do you call me a spy?"
"It's very simple, search!"
Soon, a piece of paper was found from Song De's pocket, which clearly stated the deployment of troops in the city, including where the artillery positions were, how many trebuchets were there, how many troops were on a certain section of the city wall, etc. wait.
After reading the contents on the paper, Ji Xueling sneered and said: "Don't think that you are safe because you are hiding deep. I discovered people outside when they contacted accomplices in the city, but at that time I was really not sure that the spy was you! Your eagerness to jump out is no different than throwing yourself into a trap. Take him away and interrogate him severely!"
"Yes!" Several people stood up for Song De.
Ji Xueling took out another piece of paper, tied it to an arrow without an arrowhead, and shot it outside the city.
