The extremely elders were frightened and incoherently assured.

"Please everyone." Zhong Ping resumed his friendly expression, clasped his fists with both hands, and sent away a few elders.

"Report!" An officer suddenly rushed in in a panic. "Yan... Yan Qing, gone!"

Zhong Ping was shocked. Immediately, there was a fierce look on his face (Qian Nuozhao): "What are you panicking! With so many people, you can't see Yan Qing?" The officer was frightened and knelt down in a hurry. "It's been there all the time. We watched it every once in a while. Unexpectedly, he knocked out all the soldiers who were observing and guarding, so I never found out... But he shouldn't run far..."

"Order to block the camp, and arrest any man who looks like a Han Chinese!" Zhong Ping said coldly. "I don't believe he can run away." He kicked the officer violently, and the officer was kicked to the corner of the tent.

Zhong Ping sneered: "The warriors of the Xiongnu have always earned their lives by themselves, and there is no reason to ask for help! Take your people to search, and if you can't find them, you don't have to live to see me!"

When the officer heard it, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he knelt down and thanked Shanyu, and limped out. .

Chapter 73 Intelligence and Secret Service

Although Yan Qing eats, drinks and sleeps every day, she is still quite bored. It's not because of the matter in front of him, the law in front of him is a scheming guy, he doesn't need to worry about it at all, it can be settled completely, he just needs to cooperate a little. What Yan Qing was annoyed about was the organization of the intelligence network and the spy network.

Prime Minister Luochen thought about the intelligence network, it should be after Xu Shu and Ma Dai got separated. It was originally planned that Ma Dai would lead more than 10,000 cavalry troops to meet him, but Xu You was deceitful and almost arrested Mr. Xu Shu. However, the fallen army was unaware of this matter, and Cao Cao's army did not know what step it took. In the end, Mr. Xu Shu happened to meet Liu Bei and was forced to transfer to Huang Zhong before he escaped the danger. Without Liu Bei's help, Xu Shu would probably be arrested, and Luo Chen's right arm would be broken.

The Prime Minister was quite annoyed, but he couldn't blame the generals. Ma Dai and others also tried their best, and they seemed to handle it properly and very effectively. Xu Shu returned to Chang'an and Tongguan, and kept praising General Ma Dai, saying that he was a life-saving grace, intending to protect General Ma Dai from punishment.

At that time, Luochen was busy with everything, and only mentioned to Yan Qing that an intelligence system should be established. The intelligence system has not been established, but the high-speed communication system has been established. A large number of post stations, horse trails, and messenger soldiers appeared in the 067 Fallen Control Area to ensure that the news can be communicated unimpeded as soon as possible.

Not long ago, General Chang Yuchun took over the Xiongnu prince and Luo Fu, and the next day they reached Tongguan, which is thousands of miles away. Luochen made a decision immediately, including negotiating with Cao Cao as soon as possible, and negotiating with the Xiongnu to delay the time. The telephony system played a huge role.

However, Luochen still held a high-level meeting that night. To Yan Qing's surprise, except for Yan Qing and Xu Da, the others who attended the meeting were all civil servants. It was Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Zhang Heng, Sun Yuanhua, Xu Da, and Yan Qing. Luochen said straight to the point: "We have been fighting for years, and everyone should be able to realize that intelligence is really important."

Yan Qing understood what it meant as soon as he heard it, because Luo Chen had mentioned it to him before.

"Mr. Xu Shu was almost intercepted and arrested by Cao's army the day before yesterday, and our army didn't even know about Cao Cao's actions." Luo Chen said and glanced at Xu Shu, "If you break Mr. Xu Shu, it will damage my right-hand man."

"I heard that Cao Cao has an organization specializing in intelligence." Zhuge Liang said, babj) is commanded by a man named Mao Jie."

Everyone present understood that Luochen wanted to establish an intelligence system.

"Cai Yan... I mentioned it to you the day before yesterday, and now it's in the hands of the Huns, his life and death are unknown, and his location is unknown." Luo Chen said with a grim expression, "Tell me, everyone, do you have any specific plans that can accurately identify Cai Yan? delivered to me safely and unharmed?"

Several senior officials naturally looked at each other.

"General Xu Da, I will give you an army of 300,000 people to attack the desert north and defeat the Huns. Can you bring Cai Yan to me?" Luo Chen asked Xu Da directly.

This question obviously made Xu Da quite embarrassed. Xu Da paused, and then said directly: "The lord will give the minister hundreds of thousands of troops, and the minister will definitely do his best to attack the Xiongnu in the north and defeat the main force, so that they will never dare to violate the border again. This is the responsibility of the minister. But Hundreds of thousands of troops will attack, and all life will be ruined. Even if the Xiongnu is defeated, it seems that it is difficult to find an ordinary person named Cai Yan."

Luo Chen just nodded silently and glanced at the others. But everyone obviously had the same idea as Xu Da, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing. In the end, Yan Qing had no choice but to say: "We can only send people to sneak into the Xiongnu tribe to make an unannounced visit, find Cai Yan, and bring it back quietly."

Luochen nodded silently again, and his voice became more severe: "We need a team. A team that can report all kinds of information. A team that can find and rescue an ordinary person."

This formulation is relatively new to the ancients. Maybe Xu Da can accept it, because there are Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. But Xu Da was also from the early Ming Dynasty and didn't know much about it.

"Let's select more than a hundred people from the Royal Forest Guard and train them." Seeing the ministers looking at each other, Luo Chen didn't seem to bother to explain, and just wanted to implement this matter quickly.

"The most important thing in this team is the leader. Who will lead? How many?" Luo Chen looked around at several senior officials again. Obviously this task is very onerous, comparable to making gunpowder. Everyone doesn't understand, how to train? How is the organizational structure? How to spread the intelligence spy network to multiple places? These are all things that are hard to imagine, and the Luochen Group has no experience and foundation in intelligence espionage.

Sure enough, the extremely high-ranking officials fell silent again. This was the night that several senior officials were silent the most in a row, and everyone was very uncertain.

Zhang Heng and Sun Yuanhua had tasks to do, so of course it was inconvenient to assume them. Sure enough, Luochen glanced at them: "Mr. Zhang Heng and Mr. Sun Yuanhua are currently engaged in artillery research and will not increase their tasks for the time being. However, Chang'an Academy will start to study information methods and other matters, and establish an intelligence department and information science. Catch it."

This matter made Zhang Heng quite difficult, where would he go to engage in these teachings? It is said that Cao Cao has experience... Although this is difficult, it is at least better than being the head of this intelligence agency. So Zhang Heng agreed.

The rest are Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Xu Da and Yan Qing. The four remained silent, embarrassed for a while.

"This minister only knows military and political ingenuity. As for intelligence agents, this minister is indeed incompetent." Zhuge Liang simply refused. Luo Chen didn't blame him, just nodded. Since Zhuge Liang said so, and Xu Shu even more so, Xu Shu immediately stood up and said Zhuge Liang's words again.

Seeing this situation, Xu Da did not lag behind, and hurriedly said: "This minister is only a general who leads the army and confronts the enemy on the battlefield. As for intelligence agents, it is really difficult for this minister to be responsible."

Luo Chen had no choice but to nod his head, leaving only Yan Qing. "Yan Qing... It seems that you have to take responsibility for this." Luo Chen said helplessly.

"Chen..." Yan Qing really didn't want to do this task, and he wasn't familiar with it either. Although he was a general in the middle, to put it bluntly, he was Luo Chen's personal bodyguard. But let him build a national system, and he doesn't seem up to the job. Yan Qing's face was a little embarrassed.

Luochen knew what he was going to say, so he could only say: "There is no need to build a huge system at the moment. The most urgent task is to form a team and rescue Cai Yan, okay..."

Yan Qing could not avoid it, so she had to agree. .

Chapter 74 Familiar tunes

Where is Cai Yan? How to find it? Yan Qing lay in bed thinking hard, even dreaming about it.

The so-called spy team he trained in a hurry is now reluctantly assembled in Shuofang. These guys are called spies. In fact, they don't even know what spies are. Of course, Yan Qing is also confused. In addition to the fighting, hacking and other skills that the original sergeants possessed, these people also reluctantly trained things such as lurking and fighting, because they wanted to go deep into the interior of the Xiongnu, and also trained the language and posture of the Xiongnu. However, as soon as Yan Qing went to check, she knew it was cold. How can these guys pretend to be the Huns? Everyone can see that, in a picture of the Han people, the clothes of the Huns seem to be forcibly put on (in fact, they are). It's even worse as soon as he opens his mouth, how can he speak the Hun dialect, he will only make gestures. Of course Yanqing couldn't either, but Yanqing was quite smart. After studying with Fazheng for a while, she could barely cope with everyday language.

Yan Qing knew that these guys were unreliable, so they could only let them stay in Shuofang City and not be dispatched, so as not to startle the snakes.

Of course, Yan Qing was also in distress. Alone, in this vast grassland, where can I find an ordinary female slave? Although he can easily escape house arrest, but if he can't find anyone, he still can't complete the task that Luo Chen gave him!

The yurt was opened, the sun came in, and the Xiongnu soldiers came to deliver food again.

The food provided by the Huns to Yanqing is not bad. Yanqing likes to eat meat in a big mouth. The yellow mutton is tender and delicious, which is better than many exquisite meals in the Central Plains. But Yan Qing doesn't drink much, for fear of making a mistake. It was a young Xiongnu soldier who came to deliver the meal today. He entered the tent, slowly set out a few bowls and drinks, and hummed a song with a melodious tone in his mouth. Yan Qing didn't pay much attention to it at first, and praised the young man in lame Xiongnu language. However, he was stunned for a moment... Where have I heard this tune - ah!

This tune is by no means a tune he usually listens to leisurely. what is it then?

The young Xiongnu soldier had prepared drinks and meals and was about to leave, but Yan Qing grabbed him. The Hun soldier looked terrified, thinking that Yan Qing was going to beat him. But Yan Qing immediately let go of her hand and began to gesture, as if to ask herself something. "Where did you hear the song?" Yan Qing asked in Chinese (he couldn't express it in Xiongnu), pointing to his mouth. The Xiongnu soldier was puzzled, thinking that he wanted good wine or something, so he asked tentatively, "Wine?"

Yan Qing knew the wine in the Xiongnu words, and quickly shook her head. The young Xiongnu soldier looked bewildered and wanted to go out and call for help. Yan Qing hurriedly held her back. In a hurry, Yan Qing imitated herself and hummed, "Yah...", and then asked "Where?". The Xiongnu soldier finally understood, and he said a lot, but Yan Qing only knew a few fragmentary words: "tribe", "Han people" and "woman". Yan Qing felt that her thoughts were running at a high speed: Han people - women - familiar singing, who else could it be? Like an electric shock, "I remember! I know!" Yan Qing muttered excitedly. Yes, he had heard this tune before when he accompanied Luochen to visit Cai Yong in Longzhou on the Yellow River! At that time, he was on an unfamiliar island and was responsible for protecting Luochen's safety. So when he heard this song, although it was melodious and poignant, it would also be substituted into the scene of listening to it for the first time for the first time, and he felt the tension of needing to perform some kind of important task.

Then, this piece is Cai Yan's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia"! Could this Han woman be her? ! Yan Qing felt that her hands and legs were shaking with excitement, and she couldn't even speak. Ignoring the Xiongnu soldier, Yan Qing walked around in the tent alone. Originally, I thought that the grassland was vast, and there was no way to complete the task, but I didn't expect that it would take no effort! Cai Yan, the fallen army who desperately wanted to be rescued, was nearby! How can you not be excited! The Xiongnu soldier looked on strangely, and quietly left after a while.

It took a while for Yan Qing to calm down. Through this clue, Cai Yan is likely to be nearby, in a tribe. Now he has two tasks, one is to get out of the house arrest of these Xiongnu soldiers, and the other is to find Cai Yan and bring her back. Escape from house arrest is easy, Yan Qing is not too worried... But how to find her? Although it is near here, but Yan Qing is a Han Chinese and doesn't know how to ask for directions. There are yurts and tents here, so Yan Qing can't ask each one politely! Once he was found to have escaped, the station would definitely be under martial law, which would make it more difficult for him to move.

·0 Seeking flowers

But it's useless to be in a hurry here, staying in this tent for another month will not come up with any perfect plan. Moreover, the time Fazheng gave him was limited, and when the army arrived at the front line, Fazheng was about to turn his face. When the two armies officially fought, he would save anyone else, and I was afraid that he would be sacrificed to the flag. We must hurry and act as soon as possible.

............

Yan Qing thought about it, it was not worth it to slip out now, and she would be discovered soon, because dinner was about to start in a few hours. The Xiongnu soldiers will definitely find out when they come in to deliver meals, so that he will have less time for activities. He still waited until dinner was over, killed the doorman, and slipped out quietly, so he could be active all night. Having made up his mind, Yan Qing hurriedly picked up the cold meat and nibbled it, drinking a little bit of wine. It was still early, so Yanqing decided to lie down to rest and recharge, so that she would have energy for the evening activities.

Sure enough, having an action plan is reassuring. Knowing that Cai Yan is nearby, Yan Qing felt a lot more at ease and less anxious. She fell asleep quickly in a daze.

He was shaken awake by the little Hun soldier, or the one at noon, who brought the exact same dinner as at noon. Still slowly set the wine and food, seeing that Yan Qing had just woken up and started to eat with a breath, it was very normal, and he left with confidence. The little Xiongnu soldier opened the yurt and went out. Yan Qing looked outside, the sky was a little dark, and it seemed to be dusk.

Yan Qing began to eat dinner slowly, but she couldn't go out now, the sky was still too bright, so she could act only when it got dark. After a while, Yan Qing felt that she was almost done, took out a soft arrow and prepared to act. Yan Qing wanted to go out directly, but with his hand speed, those Hun soldiers who were on guard and sentry would have to be shot to death if they didn't respond. But he still thought about it, and it is better to be cautious. .
