Xiang Zhen raised his wine glass, looked at Han Qi on the opposite side and said: "Han Bingbu, I will leave for Lingnan tomorrow, and I will ask you to take care of the affairs here." ”

Han Qi raised his glass and touched the other party, and drank it all, "Xiang Shuai's military operation is not going well?" ”

"It's always going to be a little harder at first." Xiang Zhen smiled and said, "But as long as the situation is opened, it will be easy to settle down next." The reason why I am in a hurry to return is also to increase my strength at this critical juncture. ”

"Then I salute the general again, I wish the general to go back, show his might, defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, if you can hold Jiangxi in your hands as soon as possible, then Xiang Shuai can change the unfavorable situation of living in the southeast corner of the past, and expand his influence to the Central Plains." Han Qi brought the pot and filled Xiang Zhen with wine.

"Thank you, Han Bing." Xiang Zhendao: "Don't worry about the affairs of the south, there will inevitably be a result this year, but it is confusing and very tricky here." ”

"The two-way strategy I proposed to Li Xiang to attack Chang'an was rejected." Han Qi said depressedly. "It would have worked."

"I've heard that." Xiang Zhen bowed his head and said: "The strategy is certainly good, if there is no us in the southeast, Li Ze may agree, but in the current situation, he is naturally unwilling." How could he make a wedding garment for another? This plan will obviously benefit us. ”

"He refused to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty after all." Han Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If he is willing to do this, Han Qi is willing to be his dog for the rest of his life, but unfortunately he refuses." ”

"How can you be a dog!" Xiang Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the Han Army, everything will be fine." ”

Han Qi raised his glass, swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "Why didn't you call Ueda Lingzi today?" ”

"This man is not strong-willed." Xiang Zhen sneered: "You can use it, but you can't believe it all, I have something to tell the Han Military Department today, and it's better if he still doesn't want to know." ”

"Tian Lingzi is still loyal to His Majesty, but he is just a little timid." Han Qi said: "He was indeed a little afraid of Li Ze, but although he was afraid, he still did what he had to do." ”

"The stakes are high, and I don't want to take a little risk." Xiang Zhen said: "Niuzhuang Tunken Point will be our best stronghold in the future." ”

"Li Ze will keep an eye on where he is." Han Qi said: "It's hard to do anything. ”

"Naturally, there's nothing out of the ordinary, it's just a transit point." Xiang Zhen said: "The land always needs to be cultivated, and then a lot of people will arrive here, work here for a while, and then leave. Replenishment of staff is kept coming, and people are leaving all the time. In the end, we hope to have a force that is completely ours in the land of Zhenzhou. ”

"It's hard!"

"It's really difficult, but I believe that the South Korean military department can do this." Xiang Zhen smiled. "The Tang people will never be slaves! This is a policy promulgated by Li Ze himself, so when the time comes, it is only natural that these people will quit their jobs and leave the Niuzhuang Reclamation Point. These people will be scattered all over the town, and they will do their best to be a good citizen until the day comes when they need to be used. Of course, we will maintain an efficient team at the Niuzhuang Reclamation Point to attract Li Ze's attention. ”

Han Qi nodded: "Do your best, you need to know that Wuyi, Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, and Yizhou were originally Li Ze's core areas." ”

"If you don't try, how do you know if you can't do it?" Xiang Zhen smiled. "We're going to keep sending people here, both overt and dark."

"What would be the use of such a force?" Han Qi was a little puzzled, "Here, is it difficult for you to still want to use force?" ”

"Of course not." Xiang Zhen said: "Lan Yatou is my daughter after all, I just hope that one day if something happens, she can have a useful manpower, at least to save her life." Parents are children, and the plan is far-reaching, and this careful thinking is also for the Korean military department to understand. ”

"Miss Xiang is the future queen mother, who can embarrass her? Even if Li Ze is domineering, he will not do it to this point. At best, he is just coercion. Han Qi disagreed.

"That might be." Xiang Zhen sneered: "The Emperor Taishang has a lesson from the past." I don't believe that the Emperor became like this because of illness. If I wasn't worried about that, why would I bring so many people here? Even if my girl drinks a sip of water, I won't let the people here get involved. ”

"It's okay to be careful."

"This is one thing, another thing, I look at the current Datang Weekly, the influence of the people is not trivial!" Xiang Zhen continued: "My servants have gone out to investigate, and tens of thousands of copies of Wuyi alone have been sold. In order to win people's hearts, Li Ze is willing to spend a lot of money. ”

"Datang Weekly can support itself now, and it can make a lot of money!" Han Qi said: "Why is General Xiang interested in this? ”

"I collected all the newspapers in the past six months, read them carefully, and I didn't see a single bit of news about the royal family except for the policy announcements of the imperial court and those boring things. On the contrary, articles praising Li Ze will pop up from time to time. Xiang Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Han Bingbu, in the past, it was easy to control and bring out the rhythm of public opinion, and in our south, the right to speak is naturally in our hands." But here, a newspaper, completely turns all this upside down. ”

"Li Ze always walks ahead of us step by step, but he has to be admired." Han Qi said with a wry smile: "He said that he wanted to fight, and the people roared mightily, he said that he wanted to develop the people's livelihood, and he naturally said that he wanted to let the people live a good life and not let the people suffer from the war." In short, what he says now is what he is. ”

"He's ahead of the curve, but that doesn't stop us from following him!" Xiang Zhen said: "Can we also run a newspaper like this?" ”

"You probably don't know that Datang Weekly is going to be submitted for review, right?" Han Qi said: "Before every Datang Weekly is printed, it will be sent to the secretary for inspection, and it can only be officially printed after passing the customs. ”

"Why do you want to go against him?" Xiang Zhen smiled: "Now in the Northland, the pragmatic style is flourishing, and the literary style has become a food accompaniment, but the existence of Wuwei Academy has attracted countless literati and students to rush here, and there are people who are unambitious." Let's just run a newspaper that promotes literary style. ”

"What role can such a literary style play?" Han Qi said disdainfully: "Can you bite Li Ze?" ”

"In addition to these things, we can also vigorously promote loyalty and patriotism." Xiang Zhendao: "Such an article, such a propaganda, Li Ze will not fail to pass, right?" We want the common people to know that they still have an emperor, and we want the emperor to appear in front of everyone from time to time. Otherwise, if it goes on for such a long time, whether it is the people, officials, scholars, or people who slaughter dogs and pigs, they will think that without the emperor, their lives are still very good, and they only need to have Li Ze. In the Korean military department, the battle for people's hearts and minds has always started from small things. As long as this newspaper can come out, as long as the people see the news of the emperor from this newspaper, there will inevitably be some people who have a heart to think about it, why is there no news of the emperor in the Tang Weekly? ”

"Where could ordinary people think of you so deeply?"

"They can't think of it, we can go and guide!" To the truth.

Han Qi pondered for a moment, "It's not that it can't be done." But such a newspaper, I'm afraid that it won't be able to print those boring things in your mouth like Datang Weekly to boost sales, it is doomed to lose money, and if you sell more, you will lose more money. ”

"Money is not an issue!" Xiang Zhendao: "It is borne by our Lingnan Jiedu Mansion." As long as the Ministry of South Korea promotes this matter, it will be successful. ”

"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with Wei Bin, Zhong Hao, Zhang Wenxuan, and a few of them, they are all literati, and they are the kind of literary and elegant characters you said, and it is more reasonable for them to come forward to do this, otherwise I, a former soldier, will take the lead in doing this, but I am afraid that it will immediately make people feel that it is abnormal." Han Qi said.

"The Ministry of Han Bing is extremely worried that Zhang Wenxuan is still quite famous, especially in the south, and he writes very well in one hand, and it is best to leave this matter to him. This person is now a foreigner in the Ministry of Rites, and he is depressed, but I am afraid that he will already hold his stomach! Xiang Zhen smiled.

"There are a lot of people like Zhang Wenxuan, Zhang Wenxuan is lucky, and there are many people who come happily, thinking that they can have a wife and a shadow in Beidi with their literary and colorful style, but when they really get here, they can't even pass the county exam, and a grid test paper will keep most people out of the door." Han Qi said: "Fortunately, these people are also smart, and in the past two years, many people have gritted their teeth to make up for classes, but they have slowly caught up." Go back and let Zhang Wenxuan organize it and see how many people can be used. ”

"What can be used, what can be co-opted, we must try our best to win over, Xu Guan who wants to be an official, and give money to those who want money." Xiang Zhendao: "Things are man-made, just do it slowly, and eventually you can gather some strength." ”

"General Xiang, on our side, we can only do some soft grinding and hard work, after going through so many things, our strength has been almost exhausted by Li Ze, the most important thing is the military operation on your side, only if you have achieved a major military victory in the south, we can speak more confidently at this end, otherwise, everything will be in vain."

"Nature." Xiang Zhen arched his hand and said: "This time, I would like to thank the Han Military Department for giving us a whole boatload of fierce fire bombs." But this will still run out after all, can't the Han military department get the formula? ”

"This is Li Ze's top secret. It is controlled by his henchman Tu Hu, and outsiders can't reach it at all. This boat, or I don't want to fight for you. Han Qi said: "Li Ze already knew about the drawings I gave you last time, and he had already warned me. ”

Xiang Zhen nodded with some disappointment.
