Liu Yu frowned slightly and said: "I think that intelligence related to intelligence, especially intelligence related to the rise and fall of the country and major treason cases, must be managed by a specialized organization and department, just like fighting a war.
We need an army, but the usual hunting down of thieves and the maintenance of local security are left to the police officers in the yamen, the yamen servants, the tours between villages, Qiukui, Li Zheng, etc. It seems that they are all fighting, but
The functions are completely different.”
He Lanmin softly said "Oh": "What you mean is that these major and important cases involving national security are not managed by departments in charge of catching thieves and scourges, but there is a special department that only takes orders from
The country’s intelligence organization will manage it?”
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I think it is best to have this department within the political hall, whether it is called the Intelligence Headquarters or the Xuanjing Division. In short, it is for the sake of the country, secrets
An organization that investigates all aspects of intelligence, and can further separate the internal and external functions. For example, spying on the military and commercial affairs of enemy countries may be the responsibility of your intelligence organization, which is mainly composed of barbarians.
Matters concerning the Han residential areas in the country may be left to Mu Zhi, Miaoyin and others, intelligence organizations who come from high-ranking families, can have higher authority than ordinary Yamen officials, and in emergencies, they can call in the garrison."
He Lanmin laughed: "It sounds like a departmental organization with great power and great responsibilities. If you suddenly ask me to be such a big official, will others agree?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "For many years, we have almost no knowledge of external intelligence collection. It is handled by the intelligence organizations of each major family. When I first joined the Beifu Army, I went to the north with Miaoyin to follow Murong
Lan took over, and this information was only reported to families like the Xie family and was not reported to the government. This resulted in major families colluding with foreign countries based on their own interests rather than national interests. Back then, I
With a low status, he is just a soldier, and he does not fully understand these things, but in retrospect, it is very scary, because a high-ranking family may very well betray the interests of the country for his own selfish interests."
"Later, when Murong Lan and I arrived at the grassland and met you, there were more such things. Qinglong Xichao and Suzaku Wang Ningzhi from the Black Hand Universe came to the grassland to hunt me down. They may have been with Huan Xuan and Tuoba Si.
Collusion, or directly joining forces with Murong Chui, in addition to achieving these main goals, there will also be various military and commercial cooperation. Jin's silk, ironware, rice grains are continuously sold to the north, and military horses
, materials such as cattle and sheep went into the private warehouses of the aristocratic families. This is where the aristocratic families have the power to bypass the court and control the country. "
He Lanmin nodded: "The cooperation and secret warfare between intelligence organizations that span across countries and countries you mentioned have always existed. To be honest, when I was a noble concubine in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I often had transactions with countries such as Nanyan and Later Qin.
Even here in Yanzhou, I have secretly had some contacts with you people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in order to build a secret private army for me. The silk and lacquerware of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are still very popular in the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Liu Yu frowned: "I don't want to continue this situation in the future. Trade with foreign countries is normal trade and should be led by the country. As for relatively friendly foreign countries, there can be some trade involving military supplies.
, after all, we also need weapons such as war horses and strong bows. We can't replace them with some armor and crossbows. Of course, for enemy countries, such as the current Hou Qin, we must cut off all trade with them and cannot let them
Benefit from it.”
He Lanmin laughed: "Gao Yunyan, the princess of Goguryeo, was actually a spy leader. When she was in Nanyan, she actually came to Nanyan several times. Murong Lan and I also had secret meetings with her. Goguryeo
I really hope that Nanyan can dispatch tens of thousands of cavalry to help them destroy Baekje. This condition
, In fact, it is similar to what I mentioned to you later. The reason why Murong Chui asked Murong Chao to rob you of thousands of Huaibei people to work as musicians was actually so that after the treaty was concluded, he could use a formal royal band to intimidate everyone.
What kind of knowledge did the Goguryeo envoys make them think that Nanyan was Zhengsu."
Liu Yu laughed: "The Nanyan District and the Qingzhou District, although the military strength is not weak, after all, they were beaten to only this little territory. Goguryeo is not a fool. He should know how big the Central Plains is. How could it be possible?"
Do you think Nanyan is Zhengsu?"
He Lanmin shook his head: "Because Goguryeo had sent envoys to Later Yan before. Even in the era of Former Yan, they were defeated by the former Yan. Even the Queen Mother became a prisoner of the former Yan. Of course, Goguryeo also severely damaged the Yan army.
, something from both sides
They were afraid of the other party's strength, so they reached a settlement later. Later, the former Yan came to dominate the Central Plains, once dominated the Guandong, and took over most of the territory of the Later Zhao. Goguryeo thought that the Yan State had become a dynasty in the Central Plains, and always regarded the Yan State as Zhengsu.
Woolen cloth."
"Later, Fu Jian's former Qin destroyed the former Yan. Although Goguryeo knew that the Yan state had been destroyed, Murong Chui soon succeeded in restoring the country and rebuilt the latter Yan in the Guandong area. Therefore, Goguryeo thought that the former Yan was just like the former Han. Fu
Jian's Qian Qin was just a transitional character like Wang Mang, and Murong Chui was once
He personally led the troops and defeated Goguryeo. Goguryeo was convinced by his general's talent. When he became emperor, Goguryeo was also very afraid. He thought that only the Murong tribe in Liaodong was so powerful, but now he has the Yan Empire in the entire Central Plains.
Then we must avenge ourselves and use all our troops to destroy Goguryeo."
"So ever since Murong Chui became Emperor Yan, Goguryeo has been extremely submissive. It has come to pay tribute to Later Yan every year and presented a large number of armors and war horses to show its submission. Even when the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded, Goguryeo once sent an envoy to ask for Murong Bao.
I have ordered Goguryeo to send troops to assist in the battle."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's interesting. It turns out that Goguryeo was so afraid that it surrendered to Houyan. However, although Goguryeo has very powerful archers and good chariot troops, in terms of cavalry, it is still inferior to the Hu people outside the Great Wall.
I have learned a lot. If I really come to the Central Plains to fight, I'm afraid I will never come back. These are just attitudes and cannot be taken seriously."
He Lanmin said seriously: "No, Liu Yu, they are serious, because they want to take advantage of the opportunity of aiding the Yan State to take advantage of the situation and take the remote Liaodong land into their pockets. They should not have followed this request.
