"There is no way to forge your identity. The more people you deal with, the more likely it is that you will be exposed. So we don't have any good methods here." On a farm outside Wangdu City, firewood was burning in the room, and in the flames
There was a crackling sound. A man was talking, and another man was sitting in front of him.
The listener sitting next to the fire nodded slightly absently: "I understand! I know you have tried your best."
His tone made the man who just spoke feel a little uncomfortable, because to his ears, the sentence "try your best" was really full of sarcasm.
Rather than trying their best, it is better to say that they have chosen a plan with the least responsibility. And those who really tried their best are sitting in front of the fireplace at this moment, looking at the flames and praising them for their efforts.
Therefore, he was a little embarrassed and explained sheepishly: "Don't say that, His Majesty knows your contribution to the empire, and we also want to help you, but you know, the intelligence department of the Tang Empire is not just for free."
The intelligence department of the Tang Empire was really the nightmare of the intelligence department of the Qin State. In other words, the intelligence department of the Datang Empire was the nightmare of the intelligence departments of all other countries.
The other party is almost pervasive, and can even set up semi-public offices in many places. The intelligence agencies of many countries look at these people like grandfathers, and every action of the other party is like a textbook worthy of repeated study and study.
What's even more frightening is that when such an intelligence agency becomes an opponent, it's even more frightening to the extreme: there's almost no information that those damn guys can't find out, and there's nothing they can't hide.
Mentioning the intelligence agencies of the Tang Empire, the man who spoke was filled with hatred: "They have the Imperial Security Bureau, and some other departments... We don't know how many of their spies there are inside."
"I understand." After adding two pieces of firewood to the fireplace, the man in front of the stove said again in a very mocking tone.
"General Liu Zhian... I know you think our intelligence work is not very good, but you have to understand that we even purchase textbooks from the Datang Empire Military Academy... Modern espionage theory originated from the Datang Empire.
We have no way."
He saw a hint of contempt and disdain in Liu Zhian's eyes, which made him very angry, but in the end he had no choice because the person sitting in front of him was indeed an imperial general who deserved his respect.
The problem is that he is really thinking about Liu Zhian: it is not difficult to forge a person's identity, but it is difficult to make it leak-proof.
These identity certificates are usually managed by the civil department. No one knows how infiltrated the place has been by the Tang people, but who dares to risk the lives of General Liu Zhian and his family?
It is public news that the Tang Empire is looking for Liu Zhian. Anyone who inquires about the rewards will know that those in the civil affairs department who are handling this matter are not so safe.
Any one of those people could sell out any files or information for a few hundred gold coins, and the intelligence officers of the Tang State were like hounds. As long as they smelled it, they might follow suit.
Emperor Qin Yingduo's order was to protect Liu Zhian's family. As a handler, he naturally had to think more carefully. If things got messed up, he would be the first to be implicated.
Therefore, the way he came up with was to let Liu Zhian go to another country and live the rest of his life anonymously. The country he chose for Liu Zhian was on another continent, and its name was Dorne.
There was actually a reason why Dorne was chosen. It was an ally of the Qin State and was naturally opposed to the Tang Empire. Sophia's power was relatively large, so it was easy to save Liu Zhian's family.
In short, this choice is actually not bad, but Liu Zhian is obviously unwilling to leave Qin. His ancestors are here and have been here all his life.
But no matter how reluctant he was to leave, he had to admit that the state of Qin could not protect the safety of him, a "wanted criminal of Tang State".
As long as the other party made some demands in the armistice agreement, they would then be able to obtain almost unlimited investigative powers within the Qin State. At that time, using the methods of the Tang Empire's intelligence department, they could find out the whereabouts of his family by just asking.
Only by smuggling directly out of the Qin State without contacting any formal departments, could it be possible to avoid the hawks and dogs of the Tang Empire and live in anonymity for the rest of his life.
"General! I have heard about what you have done for the empire, and I admire you very much, so I will take this mission and send you to Dorne..." the man said again.
"I still mean that, I don't want to leave! I'm still needed here, at least I can lead the troops to fight against the Tang people for a while longer!" Liu Zhian also said what he was thinking.
He spent his whole life in the army and did not want to have a miserable old age. He would rather die on the battlefield and be buried in horse leather than die in an unknown small shabby house.
But his thoughts do not represent everyone else's thoughts. At least the Qin State will never give him another chance to lead the army.
The Tang Empire has used the laws of the treaty to clearly arrest Liu Zhian. This has already given Qin face, and will not lead to further investigation. If Qin continues to let Liu Zhian lead the army in battle, it will be said to be a backhanded crime.
The Tang Empire was slapped in the face.
Although this kind of thing would be very enjoyable to do, and even many people in the Qin State would like to do this, in fact, Great Qin cannot do this.
The situation is stronger than the people. Now that the war situation is unfavorable, the Qin State must try its best to negotiate peace with the Tang Empire. In addition, because the situation is passive, the post-war liquidation must be led by the Tang Empire, so the Qin State cannot reveal its
flaw.
I slapped the Tang Empire in the face with the Liu Zhian incident, and no matter what happens after the war, I will be slapped back by the Tang Empire. This kind of thing is not worthwhile no matter how I think about it.
Of course, it would be fine if the other party only slapped Da Qin once, but if the other party became angry and slapped Da Qin dozens of times, the scene would be even worse.
Therefore, Liu Zhian can no longer continue to lead the army to fight. This is the consensus of everyone in the Qin State. What Liu Zhian thinks personally is not important at all.
"General! You can't lead the troops to fight no matter what... If you persist, it will be like telling the world that His Majesty ordered you to use landmines..." The head of Qin's intelligence department who came to persuade Liu Zhian explained awkwardly
.
Liu Zhian also knew that this was the case, but he still had emotions, a very aggrieved and inexplicable emotion.
The silence in the room lasted for a long time, and finally Liu Zhian let out a sigh. He resigned, because he did not want to harm the interests of this country in any case.
