No intelligence is better than wrong intelligence.

After all, the essence of war is to see who makes fewer mistakes.

I didn't expect this Wei Chuan to actually be quite capable. I originally thought he only got to this point by relying on his father's influence and enduring hardships...

Zhou Shangwen was shocked, but remained calm, clapping his hands and smiling, saying, "As expected of you, Lord Wei. You saw the essence at a glance. I admire you, I really admire you.

However, after taking a look, I found that even if the contradictory parts were removed, there would still be quite a lot left. If all of it were presented to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be a bit too rough.

Could you please select a few of them, Lord Wei?"

Wei Chun rolled his eyes at Zhou Shangwen. He knew exactly what Zhou Shangwen meant. He simply wanted to make the selection, as the source of the intelligence was a bit worrying. The possibility of Qinghe's treacherous schemes was too great. So, he wanted to be the one to choose. If he chose correctly, it would be a testament to his leadership of the staff. If he chose incorrectly, he would petition the Crown Prince to chop off Wei Chun's head as a vent of his anger...

I'm really getting old, and my routines are getting old too. I've been using these same tricks for years. Aren't you tired?

Wei Chun looked at Zhou Shangwen, whose beard had turned white, and chuckled in his heart. No matter how you suppress me, I am twenty years younger than you. Even if I endure it, I can outlast you. I just want to see how long you can last.

"Master Zhou."

Wei Chun bowed and said:

"This staff office is a gathering place for the best. When it comes to talent, all of my colleagues are top-notch. I am a humble official with limited knowledge and experience, so how can I interfere? It would be better for all of you to discuss which intelligence can and cannot be used."

Wei Chun looked at everyone with an expression that said, "I'll give all the credit to you, hurry up," which made the staff who thought they had escaped danger again today and could watch the two big guys fighting each other curse inwardly.

However, having come to this point, someone immediately suggested that since it was going to be said, everyone had to say it and no one could escape it. When it was presented, it could be said to be the collective opinion of the staff department, and that everyone would share the good and the bad.

Chen Yu gave the staff one night to analyze the intelligence.

Wei Chun looked at the sky. It was already dawn, but the staff were still arguing. No one was willing to be the first to tell the results of their analysis. After all, as long as one person said it, the rest of them could get away with it by just saying "me too".

But Wei Chun was only fifty years old and could still barely stay up late, while Zhou Shangwen, who was already over seventy, had already fallen asleep in his chair. If he didn't take care of it, and waited another hour or so, the prince would come to demand the result, and that would be interesting.

"My colleagues!"

Wei Chun shouted loudly, which scared everyone except Zhou Shangwen who was already fast asleep. If nothing else, it made them think a lot more clearly.

"I know you all have unique perspectives, but we've been together for a long time, and you all know it's difficult for us to convince each other right away. I have a way to get results quickly. Otherwise, if the staff can't come up with a result by the time His Royal Highness arrives..."

The civil servants, who were arguing until their faces were red, realized that time was running out.

"May I ask what method Master Wei has?"

Someone asked with a bow.

"Each of you choose three and write them down on a piece of paper. I will come and collect them in a quarter of an hour. The top three choices will be the final result.

Let me be frank. These three points constitute the opinions of our entire staff. Everyone must write them down, and once they are chosen, no one may regret it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the other colleagues to reason with them!"

Seeing that there was no other way, everyone had to agree.

A quarter of an hour later, all the notes were collected.

After waiting for another three quarters of an hour, Wei Chun, who had already counted the number of times but had remained silent, woke up Zhou Shangwen who was sleeping soundly. To be honest, at this age, Lord Zhou was already happy to be able to sleep like this.

"Sir Zhou, we've analyzed the intelligence and selected the three most important pieces of true intelligence. The official document has been drafted. Please seal it."

Wei Chun said to Zhou Shangwen, who was half asleep and whose mind was not fully turned on.

"This... I need to take a look first..."

Zhou Shangwen struggled to sit up. Sleeping on the table for half the night was very unkind to an old man's waist. It would be fine if he couldn't wake up, but once he did, his waist would be uncomfortable for anyone who was affected by it.

"Your Excellency, please read on. However, the guards just reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on his way. He will probably be here in a few sips of tea. Your Excellency must pay attention to the time."

Wei Chun said with a wicked smile.

Upon hearing that the prince was about to arrive, Zhou Shangwen did not bother to look closely and quickly stamped the seal of the Staff Office on the official document to indicate that this was the result of the staff's discussion.

Soon, Chen Yu walked into the staff room with a smile on his face. After greeting them, he comforted them and said, "You all stayed up all night for official business. This is really a blessing for our Chen family."

As he spoke, he picked up the document on the table and started reading.

"Your Highness Zhou Shangwen has specialized in intelligence for decades and is well versed in distinguishing true from false intelligence...

This time, there are dozens of pieces of intelligence. According to my analysis, some are true and some are false. Among them, there are 18 true pieces of intelligence and 29 false pieces of intelligence...

I guarantee that the three most important pieces of true intelligence are as follows:

The troops on both the north and south routes of Qinghe were decoys, and at most they were just a number of civilian laborers. The main force of Qinghe was still in Zhaoyang.

Jiang Guoping had a rift with the pseudo-emperor Lin Hai and Cheng Guorong, and perhaps he could split them up.

The explosive weapons used by Qinghe were of limited production and were already used up during the attack on Cambodia. There aren't many left for this war..."
