MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2747 are responsible

   Before Wang Chang came to Xu County in Guanzhong, he got two temporary official positions.

  One is naturally an open envoy status, as the tribute envoy of the Guanzhong Hussar General, expressing congratulations to the emperor Liu Xie and paying tribute gifts. The other identity is a secret dispatch of Youwen Division.

  Actually speaking, these two identities are obvious, because everyone knows that being an envoy is actually a sentinel to some extent.

  Even though Fei Qian and Cao Cao are in conflict, they are still a big Han family on the surface.

  Both sides have built post houses dedicated to entertaining envoys, which are used to accommodate envoys like Wang Chang. And because there is such a special post house, the two sides have many official documents and so on, which are passed on to each other through this post house.

  This has some meaning similar to the embassy of later generations.

Of course, neither Fei Qian nor Cao Cao would be so naive as to think that the other party would tell him everything honestly, so collecting information within the default range, of course, became a link between the two parties. A potential job for the exchange personnel within.

  As for Wang Chang and those things that are hidden under the identity doll, it’s hard to say...

  The weather these days is extremely sunny.

  The sun was shining brightly without a single cloud in the sky, but the clear sky did not make everyone feel at ease, especially those Cao soldiers who were monitoring Wang Chang and others outside the posthouse.

  Because the weather is clear, the viewing distance is very far. These Cao soldiers only need to stand far away on the high platform of the sentry tower to see the movement of the yard and gate in the distant post house.

  『Why monitor? Why not just grab it? A soldier said impatiently, "Aren't they enemies?" What are you doing so hard for? 』

  『You don’t understand this...』 An older soldier next to him said, 『This is called the war between the two countries without cutting them off...』

  『The fart is not beheaded, who was it last time? Wasn’t it just beheaded? 』The young one was still a little unconvinced.

  『Who is that? Oh, you mean the one in Runan last time? ’ The elder nodded and said, ‘Isn’t that clear, the two “countries” are at war! It is a "country", so last time the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan were considered a fart "country"? Hey, here we come... people have arrived! All staring carefully, recognize the person! 』

  I saw a group of cars line up in front of the gate at the post house, and then a dozen people came out of the post house and arrived at the gate to greet Wang Chang.

  『Welcome to the envoy of the king! 』The leading middle-aged man led the crowd to salute,

  Wang Chang didn't put on any airs, but quickly got out of the car, "Are you Chen Guanling?" 』

  『It’s right here. 』The post office ordered Chen Bin to nod.

  Wang Chang's mind quickly came up with the files he had read in Chang'an...

  Chen Bin.

  Chen stay people.

  The face is white with three long beards and no scars.

  Because of a poor family, the young man traveled with a caravan in Guanzhong, and later entered the Shoushan Academy.

  Wang Chang bowed his hands to Chen Bin, and then Chen Bin introduced Wang Chang to other people in the posthouse.

Wang Chang's mind flashed through the files he saw in the Youwen Division one by one, and then his eyes touched a guard on the side, and he nodded slightly, smiling and making room with Chen Bin, and walked away. Entered the gate of the posthouse.

   This is used to entertain the official figures of both parties, so there are not too many idlers. The post house is also relatively clean and tidy, with trees, shrubs, grounds, walkways, etc. I don’t know if it was cleaned daily or temporarily cleaned up, anyway, there is no debris or dirt.

  Chen Bin led Wang Chang all the way in, and when he reached the main hall, he invited Wang Chang to take his seat again.

  Wang Chang asked Chen Bin to sit at the head together, and the two of them showed humility again.

  The people around stood silently, watching a play, or weighing each other. Anyway, after Wang Chang and Chen Bin sat at the top together, the rest of the people took their seats.

  Chen Bin once again introduced to Wang Chang and others the large and small officials in the posthouse, as well as the related facilities, and also generally described the current situation in Xu County. On the other hand, Wang Chang also introduced the personnel he had brought, and then talked about the follow-up work arrangements. The simple meeting between the two parties was over, and everyone left one after another. They were busy with their own affairs, but stayed behind. Chen Bin and Wang Chang are in the hall.

  『People from Dongshangshutai will come to visit the envoy Wang tomorrow, and there may be some mocking remarks... The envoy, please don’t worry about it..』 Chen Bin arched his hands and said, "If the envoy Wang has no other orders..."

  Wang Chang froze for a moment, "Sarcasm? What's the meaning? 』

Chen Bin laughed and said, "Most people in Shandong are arrogant and regard Guanzhong as Xirong, so...but there is no loss in etiquette, but the words may be a little... Maybe this is also Shandong's strategy, deliberately provoking, messing up our position, and still I hope the envoys can understand, and don't fall into such tricks. 』

   In fact, it is not only Cao Cao's envoys to Fei Qian who are like this. In the three kingdoms in history, it may be regarded as a tradition for envoys to mock each other. Zhang Wen debated with Qin Mi when Zhang Wen visited Shu, and joked with Zhuge Jin about the country title when Zhang was envoy to Wu. Some envoys even mocked the monarch face to face. Response, to obtain more information, this can be regarded as an interesting phenomenon in the history of diplomatic relations among the three countries.

  Wang Chang nodded to express his understanding.

  Chen Bin paused for a moment, and then said to Wang Chang with a smile: "Wang Zong, Guanzhong... everything is okay?" 』

  Wang Chang noticed the change in Chen Bin's title, and then he also noticed that Chen Bin seemed to be caressing the jade pendant around his waist intentionally or unintentionally, and he couldn't help saying in a little surprise: "Curator Chen...Could it be..."

  Seeing that Wang Chang's gaze fell on the jade pendant, Chen Bin untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wang Chang. Wang Chang took it over and took a look. On the inner side of the jade pendant, there were eight small characters engraved on it: "If you allow a gentleman, you will achieve great success." If it is an ordinary person, most of them will think it is a sentence of blessing, after all, this sentence does have the meaning of blessing.

However, only those who have the Wen Department know that, except for those officials who are placed in the open, most of the other people who are active outside do not have any seals of the Wen Department, but are similar to those similar to Chen Bin's. Such small items.

For example, the jade pendant that Chen Bin took out is already a very obvious "hint". Maybe it is because Wang Chang's identity is relatively safe, or maybe it is because Chen Bin has received relevant instructions before, so he took out a special jade pendant. The jade pendant of the sentence "If you allow a gentleman, you will achieve great success".

There are also some more hidden artifacts, such as the sentence "Oriental Moment Kochizhi", and some other sentences, which are relatively less straightforward. People who are not inside the Wensi, basically don't Will be all too aware of the codes.

  At the same time, these utensils that indicate identity are not necessarily jade pendants, but may also be a wood carving, or some embroidered text on a money bag, etc...

Before Wang Chang arrived in Xu County, he always thought that the so-called curator Chen Bin in the post house was just an ordinary official, not a person with a department of news, and the one who seemed a little deep The deputy curator also served as the commander of the guards, and the person named Chang Fang was the head of the news department, but it turned out that Chen Bin was the rightful owner.

  Chen Bin said with a smile: "It's just a fiction. 』

  Wang Chang suddenly realized.

Indeed, if Chen Bing hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his identity, even Wang Chang would have thought that Chen Bing was just a cover to cover Chang Fang. Who would have thought that Chang Fang, who often acts secretly, was a cover, while the real person in charge was aboveboard Shaking?

  After confirming their identities with each other, there seems to be a little more intimacy between the two people.

  Chen Bin briefly introduced the current situation in Xu County to Wang Chang.

  Wang Chang nodded, and suddenly asked: "What decision does the Son of Heaven...have now?" This Prime Minister Cao is as domineering as rumors? 』

  Chen Bin smiled, "It's not necessarily domineering, but it's true to be authoritarian." If you can see the emperor in your work, you might as well be more careful if you ask questions...』

   Wang Chang nodded, "Well, thank you for reminding me, I will pay special attention to it. 』

"The people from Shandong, especially the people from Yingchuan, are quite different in their words and deeds from those in Guanzhong. Since the king has come here, on the one hand, he is representing the lord, and there must be no cowardice in his actions. On the one hand, don't be too radical, making the situation worse...Wang Cong certainly knows how to measure it, so I won't say much...In this Yingchuan, it's not a matter of one mind. If Wang Cong has something to do, he might as well Start from this direction...」

  Wang Chang nodded, indicating that he was taught.

  Chen Bin said some more things, and then said that he would have a welcome banquet for Wang Chang in the evening, and asked Wang Chang to rest first, so he left.

  In the next few days, with the help of Chen Bin, Wang Chang has been conducting a general inspection of the situation of the entire Yingchuan, the current political situation, economic development, military system, and the operation of the public account. These investigations are mixed in the banquets of various Yingchuan gentry or celebrities, talking with these people, and exploring each other's thoughts.

  At the same time, Wang Chang was received by Xun Yu. Xun Yu said that Cao Cao would come to Xu County in the near future, and the celebration would be held as scheduled, and asked Wang Chang if he had any needs, whether he needed any additional subsidies and so on.

  After Wang Chang's observation, he has a deeper understanding of Xu County, or Yingchuan. Wang Chang will record these cognitions in detail every night...

Wang Chang feels that in Yingchuan, or Yuzhou, or even the wider Shandong land, the vigor and aggressiveness of the early Han Dynasty have basically been wiped out, and basically all the people in Shandong are looking forward to it. Peace, I hope that the chaos of the big man will subside as soon as possible, but they don't seem to have the courage to give up everything in order to fight for this peace.

   Such a situation made Wang Chang feel that the people in Shandong were very contradictory.

The people in Shandong seem very proud, maybe it can be called arrogance. They always show the glory of their ancestors, the inheritance of the family, the precipitation of history, etc. At the same time, they regard themselves as orthodox of the Han Dynasty. For Guanzhong, there are even more remote areas. , has always maintained a superior attitude, but behind this attitude, there is a trace of fear hidden...

Many children of the gentry, and even some ordinary people in Yingchuan, thought that the military actions against Xu County were treasonous and unimaginable. Of course, their thoughts also had their roots. Neither Feiqian nor Feiqian really attacked Xu County. Even if it was critical for a while, it was "repulsed" in the end.

   These victories, they either attributed to themselves, or thought it was the role of the emperor, but they didn't think it was the credit of the soldiers...

   This is very strange, but it seems to be reasonable.

This psychological sense of security and self-indulgence have weakened their sensitivity to changes in the outside world, making them mostly satisfied with the current situation, and believe that this confrontation will continue, and some even think that there will be more in the future. Good for Shandong.

  This kind of psychology may also be an important reason why they are unwilling to accept Cao Cao, or to say that they are unwilling to completely surrender to Cao Cao. After all, they are more proud of their "literary skills" than their abandoned "martial arts"...

  On this day, Wang Chang was dressed in casual clothes and walked out of the post house with only a few guards, heading towards the market in Xu County. He is wearing an ordinary Gebu robe today, the color is almost similar to that of the guards around him, and it is also the type of robe that ordinary people in Xu County often wear.

  As soon as he went out, Wang Chang noticed that there were two people dressed as farmers under the corner opposite the post house, following them from a distance. He knew that these two people were sent by the Cao family to monitor him, so he was not surprised, and continued to walk slowly along the street with his usual expression.

  Tracking and surveillance of such diplomatic envoys is almost a tacit act of both parties.

  When Wang Chang was attending banquets in Xu County these days, he would often feel some eyes following him, no matter where he went or who he was talking to.

  Come out of the post house, head east, and after three street intersections, you will arrive at East City, Xu County. This is a bazaar between the wealthy area and the civilian area in Xu County. To the north is the wealthy area. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries live in Lifang in the north, while to the south of the market is the civilian area. Some handicraftsmen and Ordinary people live there, so there is also a phenomenon of polarization in this market. On the one hand, there are expensive luxury goods, exquisite utensils and expensive food, etc., and on the other hand, there are also cheap items. Rough and simple food.

  Wang Chang walked along the bazaar unhurriedly. The closer to the bazaar, the more pedestrians and vendors came and went. The stalker behind him also followed not too far away, not even hiding his whereabouts very much.

  Under the premise that both parties are aware of each other’s existence, the purpose of the stalker is no longer to secretly track the target, but to stay close to the target unambiguously and prevent the target from conducting any intelligence transactions or secret activities. In other words, this kind of stalkers don't care whether they are discovered or not. The focus of their work is to keep up with the target and put pressure on them at all times. If they can influence the target's actions, they can also discover some hidden clues, or Hidden personnel are naturally an additional gain.

  『Very clumsy. 』Wang Chang commented secretly, feeling that these stalkers really have no technical content at all, but he still observed carefully to see if someone was deceiving him, making up some false and real stalking methods, deliberately using this kind of The poor tracking method made him relax his vigilance.

Wang Chang walked in and out of the streets and alleys, as well as the door of the store, dangling around, and then confirmed that there were other traps. Not far behind these two clumsy stalkers, there were a few people who looked like nobles. Those who look like children are actually following Wang Chang. Sometimes when their eyes meet, they will subconsciously turn their heads, pretending to look at the goods in the surrounding shops.

  Wang Chang smiled, and continued to stroll around the market slowly, and walked into the shop from time to time, seeming to be very interested in purchasing various items. The guards carried the big and small bags...

  『Something is wrong, something is wrong...』Behind Wang Chang, among the real stalkers hiding behind the two "farmers", an elderly man seemed to sense something strange, "Did you two notice anything? Why do I feel that something is wrong? 』

  『What's wrong? The young man asked, "It seems that they are just here to visit the market and buy things, so there seems to be no problem?" 』

  The older man stroked his beard, "Well... But I feel something is wrong... Wait, how many people were there when they came out? Is it five or six? 』

  『Uh... five, right? 』The young man hesitated.

Because the robes worn by Wang Chang and the guards are similar, they are all ordinary Gebu robes. At the same time, there are many people in Xu County of Yingchuan who wear the same color. Distinguish the obvious difference between Wang Chang's people and Yingchuan's people.

At the same time, it was the two undisguised "farmers" who were staring openly at the gate of the posthouse, and the second batch of stalkers followed after the farmers followed Wang Chang and others. Therefore, they were not deeply impressed with the number of people who Wang Chang left the post house.

  『Go and ask, how many people came out? ”The old follower was a little flustered, he instinctively felt that he might have missed someone, “Ask clearly! 』

Hearing the words, the young man hurried forward for a while, not caring about being exposed, and after catching up with the two "farmers", he asked a few words in a low voice, and then came back with a bad face to report: " One said it was five people, the other said it was six people...Damn it, they can't even remember the number...』

  『It’s broken...it must be six people! definitely is! ’ The old man stomped his feet angrily, ‘One is missing! one short! He must have left at the crowded street just now! definitely is! 』

  『Then we...』 The young man was a little at a loss, 『Then what should we do, should we follow, or go back and look for it? 』

  The old man was silent for a long time, "No, maybe my eyes are dazzled...we just keep up...in fact, there may be five people, only five people..."

"what? 』The young man was a little stunned.

  The elder squinted at the past, "I can't count the number of people, it is the responsibility of the front... It is our responsibility that we didn't follow the people...Since the people in front told us that there were five people, we followed five people... Is there any problem?" 』

  The young man was silent for a moment, "No, no problem..."
