Jiang Guoping was actually the best general in Qinghe. After he took up the post of defense commander of Zhaoyang, the morale of the Qinghe army was greatly boosted. They stopped retreating and decided to fight a decisive battle with our army with Zhaoyang City as the core.
The Qinghe troops were divided into two routes, planning to break into our rear from the north and south. After investigation, it was found that this was a strategy of General Jiang Guoping to divide the troops. He hoped that the main force of our army would return to provide support, thereby reducing the pressure on the Zhaoyang front.
The pseudo-emperor Lin Hai has arrived at the front line to supervise the battle. He is ambitious and demands that the entire army go out of the city to fight in the field. He clashes with the mature and steady General Jiang Guoping and the two end up parting on bad terms.
Jiang Guoping replaced Cheng Guorong as the front-line general. Cheng Guorong was dissatisfied and once shouted "Our emperor is unfair" after getting drunk.
......
The above dozens of pieces of information were obtained by the Jinyiwei of the Chen Dynasty in Qinghe, and then transmitted back to the Chen Dynasty camp through the transmission channels that were riddled with holes but miraculously still usable.
Of course, there are not many Jinyiwei left in Qinghe. Even if there are a few who have escaped, they have all gone into a deep hiding state and dare not show up easily.
So the Jinyiwei who wrote down this information actually lived in the dungeon of the Qinghe Intelligence Department...
Of course, intelligence work these days can be considered as metaphysics. It is all gathered from various sources, so how can it be completely authentic?
If we really talk about the division of labor, the Jinyiwei is only responsible for collecting intelligence, while analyzing intelligence and verifying its authenticity is the job of the prince's staff.
Besides, who can say this information didn't come from Qinghe? This was written down by Lord Wang Zuo himself, and then copied by the Jinyiweimen... The origin is as official as it can be.
Chen Yu was deeply moved after receiving this information and shed tears in front of everyone.
"Who said our Jinyiwei have been wiped out?
Who said the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light?
With such loyal and righteous people, why worry about not achieving great things?
The staff must carefully analyze this intelligence and find a breakthrough point. We cannot let our heroes behind enemy lines sacrifice in vain!"
Well, once the prince defines the matter, everyone will know what to do.
"In short, some of this information must be true and useful, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
This is what Zhou Shangwen, the head of the Chen Dynasty's staff and the Grand Tutor and Prince's Tutor, said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, praising him: "As expected of Lord Zhou, he's so thoughtful. If it were us, there would definitely be mistakes, and the Crown Prince would be furious."
In fact, those who can appear in the staff department are all smart people.
Everyone knows that at such a critical moment, standing in line is far more important than doing good deeds.
And in the Chen Dynasty, who had the thickest thighs?
That must be the thick leg of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
So no matter what you want to do, you must follow the prince's wishes. Since the prince said that there is truth in this information, then there must be truth!
After giving the crowd ample time to express their admiration for him, Lord Zhou Shangwen coughed lightly, waved his hand, and said, "It's not that I'm being too thorough, but rather that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leading the way. Working under such a wise Crown Prince, we naturally have to be even more careful and attentive."
After saying this, he glanced around, stroked his beard, and said, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that we must distinguish which of this information is true and which is false. What do you think?"
Everyone was silent.
That’s hard to say. After all, if you say something wrong, you will be beheaded if the matter is investigated.
Seeing that no one was talking, Zhou Shangwen showed an unhappy expression. He turned around and sat back in the seat of honor, saying calmly, "I wonder what Lord Wei thinks?"
As soon as Zhou Shangwen finished speaking, everyone except Wei Chun visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was obvious that there were only two Prince Tutors in the Staff Office. Zhou Shangwen, with the honorary title of "Grand Guardian", was half a step ahead of Wei Chun, so that Wei Chun had been suppressed by him for many years.
It was perfectly normal for him to mention Wei Chun at this time.
According to the unspoken rules among the civil officials, since Zhou Shangwen has already expressed some opinions, regardless of whether these opinions are useful or not, the next paragraph must be spoken by him, Wei Chun.
Of course, Wei Chuan could also choose to say some meaningless nonsense and put aside his own responsibilities, so that he could pass the buck and hand over the responsibility to the next person who wanted to speak.
However, all those present were civil servants. It was hard to say about their other abilities, but they were all first-rate at talking nonsense. If he really wanted to do that, this discussion would not produce any results even if it lasted until tomorrow, and then the two leaders would naturally be the ones who would be in trouble.
"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very insightful. These dozens of pieces of intelligence, thousands of words long, may seem like a lot, but there are many contradictions among them. Therefore, there must be some truth in these intelligence reports, and they must be smokescreens deliberately released by the Qinghe people. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a keen eye that he could see the problem at a glance.
Military affairs are a matter of national importance. As we serve His Royal Highness, we must exercise extreme caution. I believe that conflicting intelligence should be deleted to avoid influencing His Royal Highness's judgment."
Wei Chun spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner. Just when everyone thought that this bastard was going to get away with it by talking nonsense, no one expected that he actually came up with an idea.
Deleting conflicting information, in simple terms, means not being disturbed by this information and avoiding making wrong decisions due to believing in wrong information.
Although doing so will result in the loss of some real intelligence, from the perspective of intelligence science, if there are no more means of verification, this is actually the safest option.
