Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 46

Palace·Late Night
The night was like water, covering the whole Wenyi. In the palace confinement, everything was silent, only under the shadow of the moon, the sycamore trees swayed non-stop in the cool summer night wind, and there was a rustling sound.

At that time, in the Ganlu Palace, the palace lanterns were shining brightly. Su Zhao stood tall and tall, with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the window, with a calm expression, looking at the lanterns on the corridor in the distance. The bright young man is none other than Cai An.

"Your Majesty..."

After a long period of silence, Cai An couldn't hold his breath after all, and asked tentatively, "Is there something you can tell me?"

Su Zhao smiled lightly, turned around, turned his back to the soft moonlight outside, and said, "There is one thing I want to entrust to you, but I don't know if you can handle it well, so I am a little hesitant."

Cai An was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "I dare to ask you in a lowly position, what kind of thing is it?"

"I want to build a company to collect intelligence from various countries, engage in lurking, instigating rebellion, and assassination. The name is... [Tian Ting Division]." Su Zhao said softly.

After all, he didn't want to choose a name with a strong mundane atmosphere, such as Jinyiwei and Xiuyiwei, and he was a bit picky.

Su Zhao thought: "In the previous life, when the Taiyuan Sect was wiped out by the Tianxing Sect, the spies from the Black Ice Terrace of the Dayong Immortal Dynasty instigated a rebellion against a Jindan elder in the sect. If there is no accident, other immortal dynasties should have similar institutions."

In later generations, it is almost unimaginable for a large power to be escorted by an intelligence agency.

The Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty also played a pivotal role in the Korean War during the three major campaigns in Wanli.

As for TG, they even put all their people in the position of chief of operations of KMT.

"This world has Taoist immortal sects, and the means of communication are much better than telegrams in later generations. This is the basis for espionage." Su Zhao's eyes flickered, thinking.

At this time, Cai An couldn't help trembling when he heard Su Zhao's assumptions about the organizational structure and responsibilities of the Tianting Division. He was a little afraid in his heart, but there was also some inexplicable excitement in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, such an important matter thing, humble job..."

Su Zhao's face was stern, and there was a sense of killing and clanging in Qingyue's voice, "Tian Tingsi is the lonely ear, and also the shadow that defends the country of Su. He must be a person with a heavy temper and careful thoughts. , no one is more suitable than you, Cai An."

Hearing these words of praise, Cai An's heart was agitated, he couldn't help being moved, he cupped his hands and said, "I will live up to your majesty's trust."

Su Zhao nodded, and took down a thin volume from the desk, it was the [Tian Ting Si] canonical system that he spent two hours writing after he came back from the palace.

Among them, the Tianting Division is divided into four divisions according to the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The Dusi is the official, as the headquarters for analyzing intelligence, coordinating and dispatching, and executing assassinations. Information on internal affairs.

Su Zhao said in a clear voice: "How the Tianting Division spy on information, how to train manpower, and the relevant regulations are basically here... You can spare some manpower, by the way, hasn't Zheng Guoguo left yet? First place spies around him Practicing hands, as well as the state of Wei, also need to send people into the country to monitor trends. In the early stage, we will start with the countries of Yuzhou. The isolated requirement is to lay some basic intelligence networks in the countries by the end of the year. For some routine information, we must Know and file."

Cai An listened carefully, reached out to take the booklet from Su Zhao, flipped through it a few times, and browsed quickly. He had a vague idea of ​​the establishment of the Tianting Division in his heart, and pondered: "Your Majesty, the military is collecting information. , even if it is delivered by carrier pigeons, it will not be able to meet in real time, and... the carrier pigeons are also easy to be intercepted."

Obviously, Cai An, who was born in a family of military generals, is not ignorant of espionage work, and he can get to the point in one sentence.

It is only a matter of time before the manpower can be trained, money can be used to open the way, the organization is established, and the intelligence network is laid out. However, some limitations in communication technology need to be resolved.

This world of immortals has a vast territory and a long history, because as the nations are fighting each other, wars are frequent, and wars promote technological changes. There has been a method of transmitting military information through carrier pigeons, but firstly, the security is not enough, and secondly, the information carried Quantities are limited.

Therefore, the depth and breadth of use are limited.

Su Zhao thought for a while. Although he had never studied information theory and coding in his previous life, he also knew that the transmission rate was crucial to intelligence work. Thinking of the communication methods used by the disciples of the Taiyuan Sect in his previous life, the methods of the Xian family can even achieve radiation in a short time. A state, if more nodes are set up, can almost radiate the entire Tianyuan Shenzhou.

"But when I was in Taiyuan, I never heard of the sect having such intelligence power...Of course, it is also possible that the intelligence is related to the sect's life and death. This is a secret of the sect. I am too low level to know."

In fact, not only the Taiyuan Sect, but also other immortal sects also have their own means of communication, such as sound-transmitting flying swords, talismans, and jade kui. , it has not been widely used in the current Tianyuan countries.

If we draw an analogy, in this world, Xianzong Xuanmen undoubtedly monopolizes advanced technology and is a representative of advanced productivity.

However, due to the existence of immortal barriers, Xianzong Xuanmen has no will, nor is it motivated by interests, to generally sink these immortal technologies into the application of secular society.

Su Zhao said in a deep voice: "Gu will solve this problem in the near future...First use the carrier pigeon to deliver important information. As for security, you can encrypt the text. You should go back and familiarize yourself with this book first, and set up the Tianting Division as soon as possible."

Cai An nodded solemnly, then cupped his hands and left.

"In the future, there will be many immortal dynasties, and the Xuanmen of Xianzong will end in person. In order to compete for the throne, the mysterious methods of the immortal family will be used on a large scale in all aspects. I can be regarded as a step ahead." Su Zhao watched Cai An leave, feeling emotional in his heart road.

At this moment, as the lord of a country, I feel that many things are inextricably linked. The future battle between immortals and dynasties will involve all aspects of disputes, and espionage work is only a part of it.

Su Zhao turned and looked at the window, looking at the night outside. At this moment, a round of bright moon was in the sky, and the soft moonlight shone down on the earth. The night was quiet and gentle.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, eyes shining like stars, "It's just that my strength alone is limited. If there is no support from Xianzong, I don't realize it now. I will face the people of Xianmen in the future." At that time, you will be powerless and have many obstacles, such as today's Dongliju, but Taiyuanmen...how can I contact you?"

It was a coincidence that he entered the Taiyuan Gate in his previous life. He was forced by Yuan Bin and others to flee to another country. After wandering for about a year, he met Senior Brother Song Jing of the Taiyuan Gate who was traveling in the world, and was brought into Taiyuan by him.

"People in the immortal way... I really feel that I don't treat myself at times." Su Zhao looked gloomy, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and murmured. It was obviously Dongliju in the daytime. The appearance of the tentacles of this unknown force made people Su Zhao's heart was covered with a haze.

Suddenly lowering his head, he saw something in the corner of the bookshelf, which was left by the monk the day before yesterday.

Su Zhao reached out and took a hexagram stone into his palm. He looked at it again and again, but still couldn't find any clues. He put it aside, picked up a volume of scriptures and casually flipped through it.

At this moment, by the moonlight, it is clearly visible that there is a line of small characters written on the title page of the book, "The lotus monk Zhishan of Guangning Temple is a gift to the killing monk Meng Kui."
