Chapter 176: Sources of Intelligence
Speaking of intelligence, it has always been a pain in Ma Chao's heart.
Ma Chao has always wanted to establish an intelligence network of his own, whether it is through commercial infiltration, or torture to extract confessions, even if it is mixed in to be a spy in detail. As long as you can get first-hand information, it will be the finishing touch to the rise of Ma Jiajun!
The importance of intelligence to an army and a family in troubled times is self-evident. Thinking about the reason why the army known to the world in later generations was able to drive tens of thousands of miles and jump out of the many interceptions of tens of millions of enemy troops. In addition to the brave fighting of the officers and men of the three armed forces, the leaders' assessment of the situation, and wise decision-making, what is more important is to build on the basis of having a large amount of credible top-secret information!
If it were not for a large number of intelligence workers who sacrificed their lives and exchanged their lives for a large amount of top-secret intelligence of the enemy, no matter how wise the leader and the most heroic soldier were, would not have been able to create such a great miracle. Of course, it is impossible for future generations to have the famous TV series "Latent".
However, the more he thought about it, the more Ma Chao's heart hurt. Because he found that as General Pingxi of the Great Han Dynasty and the actual helmsman of the three counties of Yongzhou, his ability to hear and see was the same as that of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn next to the county guard's mansion. The most painful example is that when Han Sui came to visit, Ma Chao didn't even know that Han Sui had captured Wuwei and Xijun!
At the beginning of the establishment of Shadow, Ma Chao had thought about this problem. But later Ma Chao found out that this was just his own wishful thinking. It's not that the ugly brother is incompetent, on the contrary, the ugly brother is brave and strong, clever and fickle. Since pretending to be a dark one, he has been hidden in the dark, and without people knowing, he has done many things for Ma Chao that he can't do on the surface.
However, intelligence is not something that says that the ugly brother has the ability, or that the entire Shadow Battalion can be established if he has the ability. Ma Chao was sure that the two hundred shadows in his shadow camp were capable of completing a job of detecting and transmitting intelligence. But later Ma Chao sadly found that he had a super strong team, but it was useless.
The matter of intelligence lies in the background and cultivation, and it relies on a net that is negligent but not leaky, and is not visible. And Ma Chao's own net can't be spread out at all, not because of financial and material resources, but because there is no time for him to have this kind of background: for example, it is indeed not difficult to infiltrate the home of a court official, but it is not a day's work to get to the point where he can access important information. Even though Ma Chao understands this, he is helpless.
Therefore, when Diao Chan said about the intelligence, Ma Chao couldn't hide the look in his eyes. He knew that it was a desire, a desire to take Diao's intelligence network for himself.
Diao Chan can naturally see Ma Chao's desires, and as a result, Diao Chan is also more sure of what he thinks in his heart: if Ma Chao didn't have this thought, he wouldn't have shown such an urgent demeanor at all.
As a result, Ma Chao asked in a condensed voice: "Miss Diao Chan, do you also have your own intelligence network?" ”
Diao Chan smiled and said: "The little woman can know the affairs of the DPRK and the barracks, and she can also hear a little about the affairs of the counties and states in various places. ”
Ma Chao said coldly: "Miss Diao Chan is so powerful, I don't know why!" ”
Asking this, Ma Chao was already a little embarrassed. At this point, even he, a Han general, who has countless financial resources in his hands, has not been able to establish such an intelligence network. Diao Chan is just the Diao Chan crown in the palace, what ability does it have to create such a pervasive intelligence network?
At this point, Diao Chan sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "What the little woman said is true, it seems that she has great powers, but who knows the sourness?" The general knows that when the officers and men in the battalion are not fighting, what do they enjoy? ”
"I don't know." Ma Chao shook his head, not knowing what Diao Chan was selling.
Diao Chan glanced at Yun'er, Ma Chao understood, and said to Yun'er: "Yun'er, it's getting late, go back and rest." ”
Yun'er was fascinated by hearing at this time, but at the critical moment, she was driven away by Ma Chao, and she was unwilling to do so. But Ma Chao was her master after all, and she didn't dare to be disobedient, so she grimaced at Ma Chao and ran out.
"The slave maid in the house, I have spoiled me, and I hope Miss Diao Chan will not mind." Ma Chao smiled in his heart and said to Diao Chan.
"The general is iron-blooded and tender, not inferior as a slave, Diao Chan admires it to the fullest." Saying that, Diao Chan also bowed to Yingying: "Diao Chan is here, on behalf of the sisters of the world, first salute the general." ”
Ma Chao didn't stop it, he knew that Diao Chan's next words must have something to do with it. It may even be more sad than that.
Sure enough, after seeing Diao Chan get up, he sighed faintly: "Seeing that the general has not yet made a big wedding, Diao Chan didn't want to tell the general this." The intelligence network of the concubine's body. It comes from the mouth of a famous singer. ”
'Mingling? Ma Chao knows this term.
In the Han Dynasty, there were two kinds of prostitutes, one was the one who sold his art but not his body, and was called 'Ling'. Some celebrities are still very famous, for example, although Diao Chan is the Diao Chan crown in the court, responsible for the dance and music of which women in the palace, in fact, she is the maidservant girl in Wang Yun's mansion, and she still belongs to the category of 'Ling', and her status is extremely low. And Cao Cao's second wife, the Bian family who was later corrected, was also a famous singer.
The other is naturally a prostitute who sells his body and sells himself, called a 'prostitute'. In ancient times, prostitutes were inferior to Ling, and they had no dignity at all, but they were just tools used by men to vent their desires. Although Ma Jiajun is highly disciplined, Ma Chao also knows that there are camp prostitutes among Ma Jiajun, which is why Diao Chan asked himself before, "What do the soldiers in the camp have fun".
"There are palace prostitutes in Chang'an Palace, official prostitutes in the state and county governments, and camp prostitutes in the military camps, among which most of the sisters are official eunuch women. Although they are despised by people, most of the people they come into contact with are high-ranking officials and nobles in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and they are known to others. Seeing that Ma Chao did not have any disdain on his face, Diao Chan said these words.
Ma Chao nodded and said, "In this way, Miss Diao Chan is the leader of these palace prostitutes, official prostitutes, and camp prostitutes. ”
Diao Chan said: "The general is really wise and wise. However, the concubine is not the leader of these sisters, she just wants to do something for these sisters. ”
Ma Chao said coldly: "I don't know why Miss Diao Chan chose the Ma family, but you can know that the Ma family only has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and the three counties under their rule are like grasshoppers shaking trees compared to those famous families, which is not worth a sigh." ”
"Why should the general be humble, at this time, the Ma family is just a dormant abyss, and when the time comes, it will naturally soar into the sky. What's more......" Diao Chan glanced at Ma Chao, and there was a faint shyness in his eyes, but he calmed down strongly and said:
"What's more, the concubine has learned from her sisters that Ma Jiajun has never bullied camp prostitutes, and the general also encouraged her sisters to be good, some of whom have entered the Ma Arsenal to weave clothes for Ma Jiajun... Subdue? Some have even married into the army, have families and fields, and have a stable life. ”
After hearing this, Ma Chao was still a little proud. I can't stop this torrent of history. But Ma Jiajun was able to win such praise from Diao Chan, which shows that military discipline has been thoroughly implemented in the barracks.
"Miss praised it." Ma Chao bowed back and saluted before he spoke: "Miss came to help the wind this time, there is also this reason?" ”
"However, I still need to thank that Weiyang Jun for this matter." Diao Chan nodded and said: "No matter what the general's achievements are in the future, whether he can sweep the world or not, as long as he promises to get rid of the sisters after winning the world, the sisters should swear to serve their lives, know the movements of the DPRK and China, and the military in the camp, and tell each other together!" ”
Ma Chao looked at Diao Chan carefully and fell into hesitation: this matter is not trivial, and what Diao Chan said is too one-sided...... Ma Chao thought about it, but still didn't dare to make a decision easily.
