Zhou Bo agreed very much with Cao Shen's analysis. Even Yong Chi, who took pleasure in opposing Cao Shen, could not find a reason to oppose it. If those anti-Qin thieves wanted to hide in Hexi, who better than Ganzhou City?
Is it a better choice? The largest city in Hexi. Although the city is only a quarter of the planned size at this time, it is enough to hide anti-Qin people. The most important thing is that there are many people from the Western Regions in Ganzhou City at this time.
It is not convenient for large-scale searches of merchants. As long as the thieves among these merchants from the Western Regions collude with the Qin people in Ganzhou City, they will not be found at all for a while.
If we look at the previous rumors from Hexi according to what Cao Shen said, many of the previous doubts can be explained. For example, the original rumor about the collusion between King Yuezhi and the Huns was first spread from Ganzhou City
.
Because Cao Shen had helped him find the crux of the problem, Zhou Bo began to think about countermeasures. Cao Shen had already helped him so much, and he could no longer lick his face and let others offer suggestions.
In Zhou Bo's view, we must find a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only find out the mastermind lurking in Ganzhou City, but also not affect the merchants from the Western Regions who are doing business normally in Ganzhou City.
If you want to find the anti-Qin thieves in Ganzhou City and the Qin people who colluded with these thieves, you need to take a long-term approach and must not search with great fanfare. After all, this Ganzhou City is different from the cities in the hinterland of Qin. It was built by Master Fusu.
The bridgehead facing the Western Regions plays an important role in attracting merchants from the Western Regions and boosting the Qin Dynasty's commerce. If there is a large-scale roundup of anti-Qin people in Ganzhou City, it will definitely alarm all the merchants doing business in Ganzhou City.
It will even disturb these merchants and have a negative impact on the establishment of a major commercial town in Hexi.
After some consideration, Zhou Bo came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only find the anti-Qin forces lurking in Hexi, but also avoid alerting others.
Two days later, nearly a thousand Huben soldiers disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into the city where the four counties of Hexi were located. Five hundred "refugees" poured into Ganzhou City alone.
In fact, these refugees were arranged by Zhou Bo after consultation with Shusun Tong, Cao Shen, and Yong Chi. The purpose of this was to secretly find the anti-Qin forces lurking in Hexi. If Zhou Bo had not studied at the Daqin Military Academy, Zhou Bo would have
You can't come up with such a good idea on your own.
All arrangements and meticulous preparations during the Qin Dynasty must be completely different from those of later generations of espionage wars. When establishing the Great Qin Military Academy, Fusu decisively compiled the theoretical knowledge of later generations of intelligence, espionage warfare, etc. that he learned before traveling through his previous life.
The textbooks were obtained and taught to the students of Daqin Military Academy.
On that day, when nearly a thousand soldiers dressed as refugees appeared in front of Cao Shen and Yong Chi, they were shocked. They had seen it before, but they were able to use makeup so superbly.
This is also the first time people have seen it.
"Brother Jingbo, if these people had sneaked into Dang County back then, no matter how discerning you and I were, would we have been able to tell that these people were craftsmen?" Zhou Bo looked at Cao Shen proudly and asked.
Cao Shen shook his head and asked with emotion, "Where did you learn this from?"
"This is the most basic thing in our Daqin Military Academy."
"You said this was all taught by the Great Qin Military Academy?" Yong Chi asked curiously.
Zhou Bo nodded arrogantly, but the arrogant look on his face was so clear.
"Cao Shen, Master, it's really unfair. We are allowed to live in the wind and cold in Hexi, and we actually arranged for Zhou Bo to learn such an interesting skill at Daqin Military Academy. Why don't we ask General Shusun Tong to write a letter to Master?
, will we also be transferred to the Daqin Military Academy to study for a year and a half?"
Apparently Huben Jun's makeup skills had aroused Yong Chi's curiosity, which made Yong Chi come up with the idea of going to the Daqin Military Academy to study. He hated others, and even Zhou Bo also scolded him.
"Yong Chi, you are a common man, don't talk nonsense. The young master is unfair. Look at Jia Heng and others who came from South Vietnam. You and I are so lucky. They only gave a stingy man a good official rank. Do you think that by virtue of that?
If you are really talented enough to be able to serve as a county lieutenant, it is not because you are being treated so favorably by the young master.
Now that we have some plans for managing Hexi, we naturally have a share of the credit. I tell you to stay here in Hexi and help General Shusun Tong manage Hexi. You can rest easy.
Don't be impatient for a while, a great future is waiting for you and me."
After listening to Cao Shen's scolding, Yong Chi did not dare to retaliate this time, but shut his mouth knowingly. It was not that Yong Chi suddenly became enlightened, but that everything Cao Shen said was true, and he was also placed in Hexi as an official.
, several of them are either county magistrates or county magistrates. Looking at Jia Heng and others who came from South Vietnam, the highest position is only at the level of a miser. The difference is clear at a glance. What is this if not Fusu's preferential treatment?
…
A few days later, when the Huben Army began to secretly search for traces of anti-Qin people in Ganzhou City, the "Businessman from the Western Regions" Hu Yange left his shop again and went straight to the residence in the west corner of the city.
Although Huyange was as cautious as ever this time, he was still discovered by the Tiger Guards who were hiding in the dark and pretending to be ordinary people.
After arriving at the residence where Ji Pu and others were hiding, Huyange was welcomed in by Jipu and others. This time Huyange came with an order from his master, just to convey the order to Jipu and others.
of.
"Brother Huyange, you said we will take action in three days?" Ji Pu asked after Huyange gave the specific time of the incident.
"Yes, my master has already sent word that he has personally led an army of 100,000 people into Hexi. He is marching at night and is already three hundred miles outside Ganzhou City. As long as we take the lead in starting an uprising in Ganzhou City, my family will
My master will definitely raise his troops and take Ganzhou City directly. At that time, you can not only avenge the blood revenge of your Nanyue King, but also get the high official and generous salary my master promised, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"Brother, give it your all. As long as we can avenge the king, it's worth dying for us." One of Ji Pu's brothers said with high spirits.
"Okay, Hu Yange admires your brothers' loyalty."
When Huyan Ge said these words, a strange smile flashed in his eyes as if his plot had succeeded, but Ji Pu and others did not notice it.
After conveying the last order to Ji Pu and others, Hu Yange hurriedly left the residence of Ji Pu and others. Just after he left, two Huben soldiers dressed as civilians followed quietly.
At the same time, there was a team of Huben soldiers who strictly monitored this residential area.
