"And during the investigation, I also discovered a surprise."
"Well, I have never doubted the authenticity of this list.
But what is it that can surprise even you, Xu Yuanzhi? Tell me."
"My lord, this is a complete coincidence. Didn't we arrange some 'dragon heads' and 'dragon tails' to show Liu Bei before?"
"Well, yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"There is indeed no problem with Liu Bei. He has no doubts about the 'mysterious purpose' we compiled."
"Then what surprise are you talking about?"
"The surprise is that in addition to Liu Bei's discovery of Liu Bei, we also discovered Kong Rong's people. I originally thought it was a coincidence, but later it became clear that it was not."
"Pfft, cough cough cough."
Fang Fan was drinking water, but when he heard these words, he immediately spit it out, wiped his mouth, and turned to look at Xu Shu.
"Ahem, are you sure?"
"It's confirmed. The information was originally used to verify the spies. It was not spread from the beginning. Only a few people knew about it. Once caught, it would be accurate.
In addition to that one, we also followed the clues and found out others, and now we should have found them all.
At least this line has been found."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Kong Rong seemed to be honest and loyal, but he unknowingly planted a thread here."
Fang Fan looked at the list in his hand and said in surprise.
"This has nothing to do with being a human being. It's just like raising an army. It's normal to raise and work carefully."
"Yeah, what are you going to do with these people, arrest them or not?"
"If you don't catch them, you won't reach a high position. They are just small fish and shrimps. They won't do much harm if you keep them. If you catch them, you won't gain much. There is no point in catching them.
It's better to keep it as a mouthpiece, just like I did to Liu Bei this time. Now I guess even if I go to Liu Bei and tell him that we are not operating secretly, he won't believe it."
"Hahaha, I wouldn't believe it if it were me."
Fang Fan immediately smiled when he heard the word "high position".
Do you want to be in a high position with me? Just think about it, you can have everything in your dream.
"In addition to being an occasional sounding board, I also have an idea.
Kong Rong is by the sea and far away from us, so we haven’t been able to deploy any manpower, so I wanted to take this opportunity to see if I could deploy someone at key positions.”
Fang Fan was quite surprised when he heard this.
"Oh? You've become so skilled at it, using their tricks to reflect on themselves and planting tricks within them.
I’ve never even heard of this kind of operation, let alone seeing it.”
"It is indeed difficult to think of it, but it is more real and easier to win people's trust this way.
As for the operation, it seems that they are basically the same. It should not be difficult to use the detailed feedback to give them the feedback from the headquarters, and then cooperate with us here to provide a dozen assists and arrange individual hands.
I can even arrange the road to promotion, but whether he can reach key departments depends on his fate."
"I seem to have seen a comprehensive and detailed intelligence network that covers the whole country and monitors territories of all sizes in the world is slowly taking shape."
"My lord has been praised so much that he is just a kitten now. But in the future, my lord will definitely be able to see this scene and know the world's affairs without leaving home!"
Xu Shu said calmly, but his tone showed unparalleled confidence and pride.
And the current Xu Shu is also very different from the Xu Shu who just came to the Three Kingdoms.
Now Xu Shu has begun to prefer one word through his study of modern knowledge.
information!
If you master information, you will master wealth and...the world!
"Okay, I will give you my greatest support."
"Thank you, lord!"
Fang Fan suddenly discovered that at this moment, Xu Shu's spirit seemed to begin to connect with the world. Just for a moment, it seemed like an illusion.
"Yuanzhi, were you just now?"
"My lord is right, my subordinates have reached a breakthrough point, and the conversation I just had with my lord seems to have allowed me to seize the opportunity to break through."
"Then you go back to retreat quickly, don't miss the opportunity to make a breakthrough."
"My lord has misunderstood. I just feel like I have a breakthrough. There is still some distance between me and the breakthrough. It will take a while of hard work."
Xu Shu said with a smile, which made Fang Fan a little curious.
"I know that generals or soldiers need to temper their bodies to break through, and then use as much innate essence as possible. According to the amount of refinement, they are divided into first-level innate, second-level innate...six-level innate.
I originally thought that the same was true for counselors, but when I thought about it, counselors did not temper their bodies, but tempered their spirits, so the breakthrough should be different.
Then Yuan Zhi, can you tell me the key to this counselor's breakthrough in innateness?"
"This is not a secret, it's just relatively unknown, so few people know about it. Since your lord is asking, I can tell you about it."
Xu Shu organized his thoughts and continued.
"Counsel refines gods and deduces them again.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the stronger the counselor's soul, the stronger his computing power.
Military generals and soldiers train their physical bodies, and it is from their physical bodies that they begin to transform into innate beings.
In the same way, the counselor is the soul, and the transformation of the soul cannot be pursued in external things.
The body looks outside, but the soul can only look within, to understand one's own body, one's mind and one's nature, understand the heaven and earth, and finally determine the way of a counselor.
After this, the soul will naturally undergo transformation, from the inside out, from the acquired to the innate, thus connecting the heaven and the earth."
"Well, I roughly understand that they lead to the same goal. Although counselors and generals have different expressions, the most important thing is the word 'Tao'.
Without Tao, it is impossible for a military commander to integrate more than three innate essences, and the chance of breaking through the innate essence is greatly reduced.
Without Tao, the counselor's soul cannot transform, cannot communicate with heaven and earth, and naturally cannot touch the innate world."
"Yes, and the Tao has thousands of manifestations. Eating is the Tao, training is the Tao, information is the Tao, protection is the Tao, and the king's resoluteness is the Tao.
Those who pursue the Tao and take a shortcut will naturally be able to break through their innate nature and reach a higher level."
Fang Fan was thoughtful. Seeing this, Xu Shu slowly backed up and walked out of the camp. Before leaving, he softly reminded Xie Hai and Shi Yong who were guarding outside.
"My lord is thinking about something, please keep quiet and don't let others disturb your lord."
Xie Hai nodded when he heard this, while Shi Yong walked away softly, called a few guards over, told them this, and immediately set up an interception line to stop all the visitors from a distance.
It was already dark when Fang Fan came out. Looking inside, he knew that he had made some small progress in understanding the true form of the Golden Emperor.
Communication makes people progress, Fang Fan once again realized this deeply.
When Fang Fan came out, Xie Hai, Shi Yong and others also gathered over and told some things about the previous visitors. When he said one thing, Fang Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
