Zhang Yue, as the earliest intelligence officer around Ye Zhao, was sent by Ye Zhao to Chang'an to set up a spy when he left Luoyang, so that he could help Ye Zhao control the every move of the court and gain some benefits for Ye Zhao at critical moments.

In the dim room, the flames of the candles kept swaying, and Li Ru's emotions quickly calmed down. After confirming that there was no one around, he carefully looked at the mysterious woman in front of him.

Previously, Li Ru was planning for Dong Zhuo, and Ye Zhao had been imaginary enemies for a long time, so he naturally had never relaxed the information around Ye Zhao. At least before Ye Zhao entered Sichuan, Li Ru knew very well about anyone around Ye Zhao, but he could also say something.

This woman had appeared next to Ye Zhao a long time ago, but no one knew who this woman was and what she did, and she disappeared frequently, which was quite mysterious.

"Was Ye Hou ready to use troops to Guanzhong?" Li Ru looked at the woman and suddenly asked.

In the conversation, you should be the first to be able to hit the other party's ideas in one sentence, so that you can take the initiative. When Dong Zhuo died and Wang Yun took office, Ye Zhao was using troops in Yizhou and had no time to estimate Guanzhong, so he did not participate, so that Wang Yun and Lu Bu could get a advantage. Now the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an, and Li Jue and Guo Si's actions, as long as Ye Zhao was willing to send troops, the Guanzhong soldiers would probably greet him. For Ye Zhao, this was a great opportunity. Li Ru felt that even if he didn't guess, it would be almost the same.

"What is the lord thinking? I dare not guess it." Under Zhang Yue's cold bronze mask, his eyes did not fluctuate at all, but said in a gentle tone: "I came here this time to pick up Mr. Chuo, my master, Jiumu, now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the warlords of Xiliang are unlikely to accomplish great things. My master thinks that it is useless for me to stay here."

Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How easy is it? Now Li is no longer a free person, and he is monitored when entering and leaving. How can he follow the girl to enter Sichuan?"

"Sir, just nod, you don't have to worry about how to enter Sichuan. You will have your own way." Zhang Yue's voice could not be heard at all.

"Okay, if Ye Hou has a way to get Li out of trouble, what's the difficulty of entrusting his life to Ye Hou?" Li Ru smiled and said, "I'm very curious, how should the girl take me away?"

"Since that's the case, there is no need to delay. Please follow me out of the city immediately!" Zhang Yue stood up and said with a polite look.

"Now?" Li Ru looked at Zhang Yue unexpectedly and pointed at the outsider.

"That's right." Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pointed out: "Sir, please."

"Okay!" Li Ru looked at Zhang Yue, nodded, got up and pushed the door out.

A faint smell of blood spread in Li Ru's mansion. The whole mansion was silent, without lights, and it was pitch black. The guards who could be seen when they opened the door in the past were nowhere to be seen.

"Ye Hou is a good method!" Li Ru sighed.

Under the noses of Li Jue and Guo Si, someone could silently remove all the guards arranged by Li Jue and Guo Si here. Li Ru would not naively think that the guards who guarded him went to sleep together.

Zhang Yue didn't say anything, but took Li Ru straight out of the city and did not leave the city. If the secret guards had the ability to take down the city gate without the guards' awareness, why would Ye Zhao spend a lot of money to train troops? In Li Ru's unexpected gaze, he led by Zhang Yue to an abandoned house in the west of the city, and a huge lantern was quietly parked in the house.

"This thing is..." Li Ru turned his head and looked at Zhang Yue, saying in confusion.

"Send your husband to Hanzhong." Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Please board the boat!"

Boat?

Li Ru glanced at the hanging basket hanging under the lantern. There were already two men in strong suits waiting on it, fiddling with a brazier, and it was burning inside.

Nodding, Li Ru walked up to the hanging basket with some curiosity. Zhang Yue stepped forward and cut off the rope that led the hanging basket. In Li Ru's surprised gaze, the lantern slowly soared into the air. Chang'an City gradually shrank in his eyes. The lantern floated and left Chang'an City. The four gate guards were useless and did not notice any movement at all.

Even with Li Ru's knowledgeable knowledge, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

It was the afternoon of the next day when Li Jue and Guo Si discovered that Li Ru was missing. When someone went to Li Ru's house to deliver official documents, they found that there was no voice in the huge mansion. They also found the body of the guards in every corner. In a panic, they hurried to Li Jue's house to report.

"Chain the four doors and check them from door to door!" Li Jue and Guo Si's faces were a little gloomy. There was another mess in Chang'an City, which had not been peaceful for a long time, but Li Ru's whereabouts could be found.

There were no few strategists who could find them to handle official documents and provide advice for them. This made Li Jue and Guo Si very angry, but they could do nothing. There was not even a decent strategist in the army of more than 100,000. The strategists that Dong Zhuo had won over in the past were almost cleaned up after Wang Yun took office. Li Jue and Guo Si had to find a way to recruit people again. Although the scholars could not believe it and were unwilling to use it for them, thanks to Liu Hong's promotion of printing technology before his death, although it was only two years before it was difficult for the people to have great talents, but it was still possible to find some people who knew literacy and had some calculations.

At the end of the year, Ye Zhao sent someone to Li Jue and Guo Si a charter. In fact, there is no need for great talent to govern the local area. It only requires some literacy and those who know how to calculate the numbers are qualified.

To govern a local area, a talent that can compete with the world may not be better than a dozen officials who cooperate with tacitly. It is not that the talent is not enough, but that there is a limit to managing local areas. No matter how good you do, it is just like that.

And this kind of person who knows literacy and is good at calculating is not difficult to find. Although I don’t know why Ye Zhao helped, Li Jue and Guo Si quickly stabilized the situation in Chang'an according to the method sent by Ye Zhao, and even strengthened their control over the local area a lot. Guanzhong was not as in chaos as in history.

"Why should the lord help Li Jue and Guo Si?" Chengdu, the chief secretary Zhang Song frowned at Ye Zhao. This method has caused too much damage to the scholars. The biggest advantage of the scholars is to govern the local area. Now he has been told that more than a dozen people who know some words and know some calculations can replace them. Although they cannot do big things, they can stabilize the side. This makes Zhang Song, Zhu Yu and others feel panic.

In fact, this panic has begun when Ye Zhao set up a large-scale college, but they do not think that this academy can cultivate talents comparable to the aristocratic family in a short period of time.

"Help?" Ye Zhao leaned on Hu's bed, shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "These are some ideas in my mind. They have not been promoted and I don't know what the effectiveness is. So I sent it to Chang'an and asked Li Jue and Guo Si to help me try it and see how it works."

"It's just that if Guanzhong is stable, it will be even more difficult if our army leaves Sichuan in the future." Zhang Song, who rarely speaks and offers advice on weekdays, is extremely active today.

"Zi Qiao is too worried!" Xi Zhicai, who was standing by, explained with a smile: "The problem in Guanzhong is not that no one is governed, but that there are too many factions. Who is Li Jue and Guo Si? Fan Chou and Zhang Ji still have a large number of warlords in Xiliang, and chaos will occur for a long time! The lord is now helping Li Jue and Guo Si, but he doesn't want the energy of Guanzhong to be too exhausted. If our army gets Guanzhong in the future, he naturally doesn't want a wasteland."

Zhang Song took a deep breath, bowed to Xi Zhicai, and said no more, but the gloomy color between his eyebrows could not dissipate.

"This time, the court also asked Li Jue and Guo Si to help us explore the way. Yizhou is different from Guanzhong, and many outstanding people emerge. However, it is a pity that I plan to select some county magistrates with good official reputation to promote them to the prefect. Chengdu Academy has been established for more than a year. The students of the academy are already knowledgeable. After one year of studying, the academy has elected many talented people. I plan to use these people as county magistrates first, and then select some studious people from the people to assist. The Cavalry Mansion will send people to various counties for assessment every year. Among these county officials, if those with outstanding talents can pass the Cavalry Mansion, they can enter Chengdu Academy to study. The county magistrates can continue to screen county officials. I wonder what you think?" Ye Zhao smiled and looked at everyone.

Zhang Song, Zhu Yu, Qin Mi, Wang Lei, Wu Yi, Fei Guan and others looked very good when they heard this. After Ye Zhao entered Shu for a year, he attracted the hearts of the people of Shu. Now this approach is to capture local powers. Whether it is the scholars in Shu or the scholars in Dongzhou, all of them were gathered in Cheng/du by Ye Zhao.

In name, it is a place where talents in Shu can exert higher efficiency, but in fact, it completely deprives them of their influence on the local area. Once this order is implemented, the foundation of the scholars in Shu will be completely cut off.

Although Ye Zhao has already said that people from aristocratic families can also participate, after Ye Zhao's changes, the influence of the aristocratic families and their deterrence to the people were completely wiped out by Ye Zhao.

Zhang Song opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, you can have opinions, but this matter must be implemented. Regarding this matter, I am not discussing with you today, but implementing it immediately on the day of this order. Man Chong, you are responsible for supervising the progress of this matter, Xiahou Lan is responsible for cooperating, but those who resist can take action first and then report!"

Ye Zhao had a kind smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold, which made Zhang Song, Wu Yi and others who were about to dissuade him. This Shu was not the Central Plains. Now Ye Zhao had absolute control and deterrence. The scholars in Shu really didn't have the courage to refute Ye Zhao's decision.

"I obey the order!" Man Chong and Xiahou Lan strode forward and bowed to accept the order.

"Start immediately, post a list in the academy, and the assessment questions have been made. The assessment will be conducted tomorrow. In this assessment, 36 people will be selected to serve as the magistrates of Guanghan, Shu County, Jianwei and Jianwei vassal states, Shu County, Shu County, and Shu County. As for the prefects of the three counties, the Cavalry Office will summarize the achievements of various places in the past few days to choose the best ones. The former prefect and other county magistrates will be appointed as officials. There must be no mistakes."
