Objectively speaking, the Bai Di people were quite intelligent!

They are particularly adept at maneuvering and exploiting relationships of constraint.

Otherwise, they could not have stood firm for a century among the warring states of the Central Plains and established their own country.

Even after their country was destroyed, they did not give up their belief in restoring their nation and were secretly plotting a conspiracy!

In fact, there are always loopholes that can be exploited behind any policy.

Jiang Ming's spy network needs to be established nationwide, which requires the training of a large number of local talents.

Because the Bai Di people had lost their kingdom, a large number of ethnic groups infiltrated into the former state of Zhao, which was formerly part of the state of Jin.

Many of them were trained as "reserve talents" by Jiang Ming's intelligence agency.

He also served as a 'double agent', gathering intelligence for Jiangming's official agencies and delivering messages to the Northern Xiongnu forces!

The former Chanyu of the Northern Xiongnu, Yixie'er, was defeated by Jiang Ming.

But that doesn't mean he wasn't a monarch of great talent and ambition.

His cavalry was highly disciplined, and his intelligence network and espionage system were also quite sophisticated...

Although Jiang Ming drove away the army and civilians, a large number of spies remained in Dagan.

They continued to exert their influence, sending a steady stream of information to the fleeing Xiongnu people!

It must be said that Yi Xie Er did a better job than Jiang Ming in this respect!

Jiang Ming had only been in this world for a few years, and his foundation was not solid.

Starting with the state of Yan, developing spies, and gathering intelligence within the country—that might actually work...

However, when intelligence networks are established in various countries, some loopholes are bound to appear, allowing others to exploit them!

The Northern Xiongnu were very cunning; they knew how to "borrow strength and use it against them"!

This means bribing Jiang Ming's informants to spread misinformation and cause Jiang Ming to misjudge the situation, thus acting as a troublemaker!

This black man was someone the Northern Xiongnu were using!

And this connection was made by the Bai Di people... who sold it to the Xiongnu as intelligence.

The Bai Di people's goal was simple: they hoped the Northern Xiongnu would return, causing chaos in the land so they could restore their kingdom.

They not only connected Heifu with the Xiongnu, but also figured out the connection between Heifu and Jiang Ming, and sold them to the Xiongnu as a package deal.

People at the bottom often have one flaw: they lack depth.

While Jiang Ming was still a hostage in Jin, Hei Fu showed his kindness, taking care of Jiang Ming and remaining loyal.

Later, Jiang Ming became the prime minister, second only to the emperor, and the de facto ruler of the entire Daqian Empire...

This black man also thought he was great, claiming to be best friends with the down-on-his-luck prince of Qin back then, and he bragged about it everywhere!

As he played his instrument... he inadvertently gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him!

The Bai Di people had a unique way of bribing Hei Fu: they used his beauty!

They specifically assigned a beautiful woman from the Bai Di tribe to sleep with the Black Man, and she even bore him a child...

This sudden realization of having a wife, children, and a warm bed made Hei Fu completely willing to risk his life for the Bai Di people.

In fact, Yi Xie'er explained it very clearly a few years ago... different strategies should be used to win over different people.

To bribe a poor person, you need to use money; to bribe an ugly person, you need to use your beauty...

The reason why this guy is called Blackie is because he is dark-skinned, like a 'black-faced ghost'!

So, I'm almost thirty and still haven't found a wife.

In ancient times, this would basically mean he would remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.

With a sickly old mother at home to take care of, this dark-skinned man... had long given up hope of getting married.

Not only would young women not be interested in him, but even widows who had lost their husbands would look down on him, thinking he was too dark-skinned and fat.

Suddenly... a young girl from the Bai Di people appeared and was willing to marry him. For a man like Hei Fu, this was a fatal and irresistible temptation.

He quickly became a simp, obeying his wife's every word...

After facilitating the connection, the Bai Di people sold this "connection" to the Northern Xiongnu.

The first order the Northern Xiongnu gave to the Bai Di people was to find a way to eliminate Zhao Yong...

After all, Zhao Yong was the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army Group' of the entire Great Gan Empire.

Poisoning is certainly one way!

But if Hei Fu were to poison Zhao Yong, he would surely be finished as well. Even if Hei Fu were stupid, he would never do such a thing.

Then there is an even better method, namely 'counter-espionage'!

Hei Fu's wife, Bai Di, often asked him what his relationship with Jiang Ming was really like, and whether it was as close as he claimed.

Hei Fu, on the other hand, spoke with absolute certainty, saying that Jiang Ming didn't trust anyone, and it was impossible for him not to trust him!

Back then, when he fled to the State of Yan, it was Hei Fu who opened the door for him...

So the Northern Xiongnu assigned them the task of causing Jiang Ming and Zhao Yong to fight amongst themselves.

As long as there is suspicion between them, the fighting capacity of the entire Northern Army Group will be greatly reduced.

This is just one example.

Secondly... Among the young generals newly selected by Jiang Ming, there were some who had already been bribed by the Northern Xiongnu.

If Zhao Yong dies and Jiang Ming appoints someone else to lead the Northern Army Group, or fills the army structure with these young generals, it would be tantamount to handing a knife to the enemy!

In short, all infiltration happens gradually and subtly!

And in this domino effect, Zhao Yong was the first one to fall!
