Chapter 1164 Smart spy
The book is followed last time.
"War Horse!" After hearing Li Zhidi's inquiry, Cao Cao replied without hesitation: "Only war horses can make Zhang Yan desperate!"
"Brother Meng De is indeed worthy of being Brother Meng De, and he hits the nail on the head!" Li Zhi smiled and said, "As Brother Meng De said, Zhang Yan is now very ten, lacking a war horse!
It can be seen from the fact that he selected elite troops from the army to form cavalry a few days ago and became the leader of the cavalry, that he valued that cavalry unit very much!"
When he said this, Li Zhi changed his words and said, "But in this battle with the aristocratic family, Zhang Yan lost the cavalry because of carelessness, so he is probably dreaming about fighting horses now!
but……
Zhang Yan is too poor!
He had no money to buy war horses, and even the more than 8,000 war horses he had obtained were collected.
So, if there is a chance to get a lot of war horses now, he will never let it go!"
"Brother Xingzhi, you are planning to use war horses to seduce Zhang Yan, but..." When he said this, Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Where did the war horses come from the aristocratic family?"
When it comes to infantry, there are indeed 200,000 to 300,000 families, but when it comes to cavalry...
All the war horses in the aristocratic family have less than a hundred. How can Zhang Yan be moved by just such a little thing?
"Who said no?" Li Zhi asked back with a smile after hearing this, and said, "Although we all know that there are no war horses in the aristocratic family, how could Zhang Yan know about this?
He only knows that the aristocratic family has hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands!
And in the impression of ordinary people, among the forces with hundreds of thousands of troops, how could there be no tens of thousands of cavalry?"
"So that's it..." Cao Cao nodded suddenly after hearing Li Zhi's words.
He did neglect this just now.
The reason why he knew that the aristocratic family had no war horses was because the aristocratic family was under his command, and he certainly understood the actual situation of the aristocratic family.
But others don't know!
Especially princes like Zhang Yan who came from a turbulent family are even less aware of it.
Because there is no qualified spy force in the hands of such princes.
Therefore, they were unable to detect the actual situation under Cao Cao's command.
And this will cause a consequence, that is, if Cao Cao reveals the news, he will have to trust the news.
Because, they have no other source of information!
Therefore, as long as Cao Cao operates a little, Zhang Yan can believe that the aristocratic family has tens of thousands of cavalry.
In this way, Zhang Yan would instinctively think that the Chen family's son in his hand was very valuable. At that time, the spy who was inserted by Li Zhi next to Zhang Yan would say a few more words of slander, so...
"There is great potential! There is great potential for this matter!" After Cao Cao figured it out, he immediately stood up with excitement on his face, clapped his hands and cheered.
Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao who was cheering loudly and asked with a smile: "So, Brother Meng De agreed to the plan?"
"Of course I agree!" Cao Cao nodded without hesitation and said, "The method of Xingzhi's wife is extremely likely to be successful, and it doesn't cost much. Even if it fails, it will only lose a few spies.
Such a good plan, why not use it for your brother?!"
"Just agree." Li Zhi nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, please wait for the good news for Brother Meng De!"
After saying that, Li Zhi bowed to Cao Cao slightly, and then left in a hurry.
Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi's back as he hurriedly left, squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he sighed and murmured in a low voice: "My brother Xingzhi is really a good teacher and friend!"
...
Three days later, in Yanzhou, Zhang Yan's mansion.
After the spy who was planted by Li Zhian beat Mr. Chen in a routine manner, he came to Zhang Yan's mansion to report: "Your Majesty General, the young master surnamed Chen still has nothing to do!"
"I haven't told you yet? Forget it, don't care about him!" Zhang Yan waved his hand a little annoyed and said, "Anyway, the family doesn't have much hope for him. If he doesn't ask, beat him to death."
After these market days, Zhang Yan completely gave up on Mr. Zhang Chen.
In his opinion, Mr. Chen is the legendary hard bone that refuses to admit defeat!
Zhang Yan really has no good idea for such a person, so he can only kill him.
The spy who had already received the news from Li Zhi turned his eyes after hearing Zhang Yan's words, nodded and bowed, "The general is right, there is no need to keep such a hard bone.
If he hadn't had his high status in the aristocratic family, the general would have killed him long ago if he wanted to get enough benefits from him!
Now, since he is unwilling to surrender to the general when he dies, even if he is of high status, he cannot escape that knife!"
After saying this, he bowed deeply to Zhang Yan, "Please rest assured, General, I will go and behead him and let him be buried with his noble identity!"
After saying that, he turned around and slowly headed towards the outsider.
However, before he could take a few steps, Zhang Yan's voice came from behind, "Let's wait!"
"It's done!" After hearing this voice, the spy cheered secretly in his heart.
The reason why he mentioned Mr. Chen’s noble identity repeatedly just now was to tell Zhang Yan that in addition to the secrets in his heart, Mr. Chen himself is also a treasure, a treasure that can bring a lot of benefits!
Of course, in order to avoid Zhang Yan's suspicion, after reminding Zhang Yan, he immediately pretended to be loyal and wanted to go back and kill Mr. Chen.
When he turned around just now, he actually thought silently in his heart, thinking that Zhang Yan would definitely call him.
Sure enough, the development of things was exactly the same as what he expected!
So, he immediately turned around, bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan, and asked, "What are the general's instructions?"
"Dadada..." After hearing the spy's words, Zhang Yan ignored him, but looked up at the top, and his right hand unconsciously knocked on the table.
He is now thinking about Mr. Chen’s problem.
The spy's words just now really reminded him that in addition to the secrets in his heart, Mr. Chen himself is also an important figure in the aristocratic family, so...
"Can a certain family exchange his family for some benefits?"
As soon as this thought happened, it quickly infected Zhang Yan's heart!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high!
He actually knew the current situation of the aristocratic family. He knew that after several blows, the legitimate sons in the family were almost completely dying!
Therefore, for the current aristocratic families, every promising disciple can be regarded as a treasure!
After thinking about this, Zhang Yan suddenly thought of the armor on the Chen family’s young master, knocked on the table, and muttered unconsciously: “It seems that he is really attracted by the aristocratic family!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have that kind of armor, so...
Can you really use him for some benefit?”
After saying that, he came back to his senses, looked at the spy in front of him, and suddenly asked, "You said, if a certain family wants to exchange for the benefits of Mr. Chen like a family, what should I change?"
"This..." Although the spy was happy in his heart, he did not reveal it, but instead said in disguise: "Lord, my subordinates have little knowledge and really couldn't think of any benefits.
However, in the eyes of his subordinates, Mr. Chen must be very valued in the aristocratic family. In this way, wouldn’t it be enough to ask for whatever the lord lacks?"
"If you want whatever you lack..." After Zhang Yan savored these words for a while, the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally...
"Bang! Hahahaha..." He slapped the table suddenly and laughed: "You are right, you can ask for whatever you lack!"
Zhang Yan was still worried about his cavalry unit, but after being plotted by Mr. Zhou, all his war horses were burned to death.
In other words, although there are still two or three thousand people left in his cavalry unit, the actual situation is that his cavalry unit has been destroyed in name only!
If a cavalry does not have a war horse, is it still a cavalry?
But he was unwilling to watch the cavalry troops he had worked hard to destroy.
So recently, Zhang Yan plans to get some more war horses.
But he was too poor and didn't have much money in his hand, so he couldn't buy a war horse.
Now, after the spy reminds him, Zhang Yan finally got back to the taste.
Yes, why doesn’t a certain family need Mr. Chen to exchange for some war horses?
Since the aristocratic family has an army of 200,000 to 300,000, they must have tens of thousands of cavalrymen, right?!
Isn't it too much for a family to exchange some horses for a grand family?
After thinking of this, Zhang Yan slapped the table with excitement and ordered loudly: "Hurry! Go and put down Mr. Chen, and then find a doctor to treat him well. Don't let him die!
After the treatment is finished, put on a clean dress and take it to a certain house where someone needs to ask him something.”
Although Zhang Yan planned to exchange Mr. Chen for war horses, he could not understand Mr. Chen's status in the aristocratic family now.
What if Mr. Chen is not as valued as he imagined in the aristocratic family, wouldn’t he be happy for nothing?
So, he had to interrogate and see how much Mr. Chen was worth.
"No!" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the spy responded with excitement on his face, and then hurried away.
"Haha..." Looking at the spy who left excitedly, Zhang Yan chuckled and said proudly: "Does a certain family still look very popular?
Otherwise, why would this mere little man be so happy when a family is about to get benefits?
From this we can see that he surrendered to a certain family from the bottom of his heart, and only in this way can he explain why he was so happy when he gained profits from a certain family.
