"Captain Jiang, I seem to understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, you just don't want to be a spy anymore. Do you want to be a general and lead soldiers to attack cities and conquer territories?" the second captain guessed.
"Yes, I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you. I really don't want to stay in Yecheng, and I don't want to be a spy. Because I don't know if there will be another disgusting mission to perform tomorrow. I only have one life. I I want to be steady."
"However, conquering cities and territories is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the results are very low. Moreover, the level of salary is directly related to the military industry. We just can't stand the cheap salary, so we chose to join the secret service army."
"The salary of the spy army is indeed high, but is it useful? Don't forget, we are spies, we have to hide our identities, and our salary is accumulated over time in the form of accounting. Only by leaving Chu and returning to Xichuan can we squander it Our wealth. But do we have the flower of life? Unless the Chu Kingdom is destroyed, we can't leave here. How long will it take before the Chu Kingdom is destroyed? Can you wait? Anyway, I can't wait any longer. I want to take it myself. Soldiers, I will destroy Chu."
"Captain Jiang's ambitions are really lofty, but have you forgotten something more important? You killed your immediate boss and committed a capital crime. What? Do you still want to make meritorious deeds? Will King Lie allow it?" Second the captain asked rhetorically.
"The Lie King may not allow it, but Guo Jia will definitely advise the Lie King. In this world, only Guo Jia understands me. As long as I write a letter, Guo Jia will naturally speak for me."
"Even if you are a popular figure that Guo Jia respects, don't forget that in Lieguo, King Lie has the final say. I don't think even Guo Jia can protect the following serious crimes like killing an officer without permission."
"Then what if we can cover it up?"
"If you are really fine, I will risk everything I have to follow you."
"Okay, let's meet again in two days."
The next day, in the camp around the city in Suzhou, Lao Ao Lie was playing games with Ao Lie on his mobile phone.
This game that simulates the siege of cities and territories was specially developed for generals and soldiers, and it restored most of the actual terrain of Tianzhu. Of course, games are games and reality is reality. It does not mean that if you play well in the game, you can play well in reality. However, this kind of game is very helpful for training overall thinking and reaction.
The two were having a good time, when a subordinate came to Lao Ao Lie and reported to him about Dong Teng's murder.
Old Ao Lie suddenly stood up in anger, clenched his fists and said, "Jiang Ze, you are so brave. Immediately issue an order to arrest Jiang Ze and bring him to justice."
"Let...who should I let catch Jiang Ze?"
"Let..." Old Ao Lie thought for a while, but couldn't think of anyone who could catch Jiang Ze.
If we really wanted to capture Jiang Ze, I'm afraid only Lao Ao Lie would do it himself.
"You go down first and call Guo Jia."
A few minutes later, Guo Jia came to the office.
Ao Lie looked at Guo Jia very unhappily: "You have been indulging Jiang Ze. This guy is getting more and more courageous. He even kills the superiors."
"I already know this. Jiang Ze's killing of the commander is really expected."
"Just because Dong Teng deliberately sent Jiang Ze on a dangerous mission, Jiang Ze will take revenge?"
"Revenge is not the main purpose. He was killed to show us. I have a letter from Jiang Ze here. He just arrived." Guo Jia handed the letter to Lao Ao Lie.
After reading this, Old Ao Lie sneered: "Smug Jiang Ze."
"Let me take a look." Ao Lie took the letter and read it.
The content of the letter can be summarized as follows: Jiang Ze requested to withdraw from the spy army and lead his soldiers to occupy the small town of Chu State.
, gradually expanded its influence, and finally forced the Chu State to pull back all the troops assisting the Zhao State. However, Jiang Ze needed King Lie to assign at least 50,000 regular troops to him, including a well-formed siege force.
After reading it, Ao Lie threw the letter to the ground and cursed: "Jiang Ze still wants me to give him 50,000 people? What does he mean? He doesn't want to be a spy anymore and wants to be a general? He thinks war is child's play." You can change it if you want?"
Guo Jia hesitated for a while and said, "Do you want to hear my opinion?"
"you say."
"Last time, the secret service formed a death squad of 800 people. Except for Jiang Ze, no one survived. Their result was that they killed more than 800 people, including about 500 government workers and 300 security guards and guards. , cleaning staff, general clerks, interns, etc. The deaths of these five hundred people did have a big impact on the royal capital. However, their economic and political systems have not been shaken, because it is not very easy to replace five hundred people. Difficult. Moreover, because the Chu army was in charge, even if the people were dissatisfied, they would not dare to really make trouble. Unless they could kill all the central officials at once and paralyze the economy, politics, and people's livelihood in an instant, this would make the capital city of Ye The city was in chaos for a long time. However, it turned out that this method no longer worked. And Jiang Ze also realized that no matter how hard the secret service forces tried, it was impossible to shake the rule of the royal capital. In this case, it was better to find another way and start from the outside. Gradual invasion is also a method.”
"Invading from the outside? What kind of good method is this? If this is a good method, then why don't we use this method in Zhao State? Why do we still spend time in Su City every day? Can't we just attack other cities? "
"No, this method is meaningless in Zhao State. Because King Zhao is not an ordinary person, and with the help of Sima Yi, they know very well that Zhao State is facing a life-and-death decision, so they don't care about those cities. To put it harshly, King Zhao had long made plans to lose all the cities except the royal capital. Because, a few months ago, all the resources and population in the Zhao Kingdom were concentrated in two places, one was the royal capital and the other It's Su City. To put it bluntly, Zhao State only cares about these two cities. But Chu State is different. After all, Chu State is too far away from us and is generally relatively stable. Let me ask, if someone wants to invade Chu State's city, the King of Chu will Will he really sit back and ignore it? Especially when the number of enemies is not large, the King of Chu will definitely take care of it. Even if he doesn't take care of it, his officials and generals will not agree. If he takes care of it, it will evolve into If we fight for a long time, the King of Chu will be anxious. The more anxious he is, the more he wants to bring back the 100,000 troops who are assisting Zhao."
"I see. If that's the case, why don't we allocate some of our forces to invade Chu?"
"It is not very efficient to travel long distances to invade the Chu State. Moreover, our troops cannot be too scattered. Once our troops are reduced, the Zhao army in Su City may have plans to break out. At this time, if other countries in Tianzhu also launch sneak attacks, we It will become very passive. Therefore, the number of troops besieging Su City must not be small, at least 600,000 or more."
"All our troops in Tianzhu add up to almost 600,000, and they are already here in Suzhou. If we don't plan to divide our troops to attack Chu, what will we do?"
"Let Jiang Ze figure out his own solution. Didn't he threaten to destroy the Chu State? Just let him do it. It will make up for the mistake."
"Hey, let Jiang Ze figure it out on his own? Haven't you always been partial to Jiang Ze? This time it seems a little cruel." Ao Lie smiled.
"Actually, you have always misunderstood me. I have said many times that I did not deliberately favor Jiang Ze. I just considered it from the perspective of the country. Jiang Ze is very useful, so I must give him appropriate care. I do not intend to divide the troops. To Jiang Ze, we also consider it from the perspective of the country. Because for us, Su City is the top priority. When Su City runs out of ammunition and food, we can destroy the Zhao State.
Once Zhao is destroyed, other countries will not be afraid at all. "
"However, let's discuss the matter. If Jiang Ze can really force King Chu to bring his troops home, then it will be much easier for us to handle things here. Although I don't like Jiang Ze, I do hope that he can really help us share the burden. Pressure." Old Ao Lie said.
"But if we really don't give him troops, it would be unrealistic to rely on his few people to conquer cities and territories." Ao Lie said.
"Guo Jia, what do you think?" Old Ao Lie asked.
"I think we can get it right. Jiang Ze said he needed 50,000 people. This number is too large and obviously impossible. Let's give him 20,000 people, complete with equipment and siege equipment. And we made an agreement with him that if within six months We can’t force the King of Chu to pull back all the troops and come directly to see him.”
"Guo Jia, are you serious about what you said? Are you really willing to let Jiang Ze die?" Ao Lie said a little surprised.
Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Old Ao Lie sneered and said: "Guo Jia has seen Jiang Ze's future a long time ago. Jiang Ze will not die easily, and will marry Liu Ji in the future, with Guo Jia playing the role of a priest."
"Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing?"
"Guo Jia said this because he was sure that Jiang Ze would not die."
"Guo Jia, I'm warning you, don't hide it from me in the future."
"Yes, I will never hide it."
"However, I am a little curious whether this future picture will be changed." Ao Lie said.
"At this stage, no changes have occurred." Guo Jia replied.
"Actually, whether it will change or not, you prophets won't tell the truth at all. If you did, who else would regard the fortune teller as a god-like existence." Old Ao Lie smiled.
"You have been in the first universe for decades. Have you heard of it?"
"In fact, in the later stages, many fortune-tellers will be born. Some are indeed accurate, while others are cheating. Even top-notch fortune-tellers sometimes have inconsistencies. To put it bluntly, it is very difficult to break the prediction. Simple things."
"Is it easy?"
"Of course it's simple. For example, you predict that a person will live for a long time, but if I have to kill him now, wouldn't that change?"
"It makes sense," Ao Lie asked Guo Jia excitedly, "Apart from Jiang Ze, who else did you predict would live for a long time?"
"No, there are no obvious clues. It's either Jiang Feng or Su Kouye. Su Kouye will definitely be alive for at least a few years in the future. The furthest I can see Su Kouye's children have grown into teenagers."
"What's the point of those people in Su Kouye? I can't kill him now. Just ask if there are any of us who can live for a long time, just ordinary, less important people."
"That's not true." Guo Jia replied.
"Oh, okay."
In fact, even if there was, Guo Jia would not say it. Otherwise, with Ao Lie's character, he might not really go out of his way to kill people for experiments. To be honest, Guo Jia sometimes sees the future of some ordinary people. These people are not strong. If you have to kill them, it is not difficult at all. It is even just a matter of words. But Guo Jia will never tell these people. If others know that the future can be easily changed, then who will believe in prophets and who will believe in soothsayers in the future.
This is almost the secret of all fortune tellers. They will not allow anyone to deliberately break the prediction unless the prediction is very detrimental to the fortune teller himself. In short, either the prophecy should not be said easily. Since it is said, every fortune teller hopes that this prophecy will definitely come true. Only in this way will people always respect fortune tellers and regard fortune tellers as gods.
