Seeing Li Shimin's reply to himself, Qin Hao was also drunk.

When he wrote eighteen letters, Ma Zhou was stunned and was only reprimanded, and even the vast majority of civil and military officials felt that they were making a bit of a fuss.

alas

Qin Hao finally understood that it was not Ma Zhou's Taikeng, but that the feudal society did not pay enough attention to intelligence, after all, the spread of information was slow.

Qin Hao did not give up, and continued to write a book, talking about the seriousness of intelligence information, but as a result, the imperial court sent Ma Zhou over.

The two faced each other, eye to eye, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a few simple greetings, Qin Hao invited Ma Zhou to the living room and asked Xiao Yun to cook tea and entertain the guests, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is King Bin here?" ”

Ma Zhou's face looked a little gloomy, and said: "Xia Guan believes that Hou Ye is not a person who abolishes the public for personal reasons, and he has never offended Hou Ye, so although the court has no intention of blaming Xia Guan, Xia Guan himself can't just forget it, Hou Ye has always been a god, and he is not a person without a target, and it must be wrong to think about Xia Guan, so he has taken the initiative to go to the table a few days ago and asked for release to Dengzhou, and I took the initiative to ask Hou Ye to understand, what is wrong with Xia Guan." ”

The words were quite polite, but I could hear the anger in Ma Zhou's heart.

Since ancient times, talented people have been more arrogant, how can Ma Zhou be an exception, Qin Hao is not an ordinary person after all, after he went to the fold, although the court did not treat Ma Zhou how, but no one in the yamen pointed at him, and even when he was working, he was inexplicably weak-hearted.

If you don't do it, Ma Zhou can't stand it, so he immediately took the initiative with Li Shimin to devalue himself and release him, and he also came to Dengzhou famously.

Qin Hao nodded and said, "I am very pleased that you can come, King Bin, which shows that you are a person who does things, not a corpse vegetarian." ”

"So, I'm here to ask Master Hou for advice."

"Excuse me? Hehe, what I want to say is all in the letter, you are in charge of the Fengyan Yamen, although the newspaper is only one of them, but as the chief official, under such a big mistake, it is difficult to escape the crime of slackness, so that the Goguryeo people have the latest information about us, I don't know how many soldiers will be tired and die in vain, shouldn't you be punished? It's just that other yamen don't know the sensitivity of intelligence, and you don't know either, so are you still worthy of staying in the rumors yamen? ”

Ma Zhou's face became even heavier when he heard this, and he said: "The newspaper was originally issued in place of the Di newspaper, and it was circulated in the name of the Central Imperial Court, which was originally the rule set by the Hou Ye back then. ”

Qin Hao also realized that he was a little excited, talking about this with these ancient people who were not sensitive to intelligence thinking was like playing the piano to a cow, and you would never be able to explain it.

With a wry smile, Qin Hao took a sip of tea and said, "Come, drink tea, the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time, you can also extinguish the fire in your stomach first, let's talk about this issue calmly." ”

Ma Zhou snorted coldly, but he was noncommittal.

"King Bin, do you know why I like Eldest Sun Chong?"

Ma Zhou glanced at Qin Hao strangely, and said in his heart, aren't you kidding me?

Qin Hao said with a smile: "You must think that I will take more care of him because of Zhao Guogong, and look down on him, this, I don't deny it, and I can't deny it, but more because he is actually more suitable for this position than you, because he is sensitive to intelligence work." ”

"This sensitivity was trained in the action team, and you, who have never been in contact with the front-line work of intelligence, are in this place, if you want to be a langzhong, it would be better to stay in the action team."

"Maybe you don't take this intelligence seriously, anyway, with the great military power of my Datang, even if they know the information, they don't dare to cross the Great Wall one step, as long as the military deployment is not leaked, it is not a big deal, but in my eyes, it is not the case, even if it is because of this intelligence war, one more day and one more Datang soldier will die, it is a crime."

"How do you see this, it's actually hard to convince you of anything, why don't I write a newspaper for a few days and teach you how to do intelligence, how about it?"

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Immediately, Qin Hao spread out the paper and wrote it freely, and when he finished writing, he showed it to Ma Zhou, but Ma Zhou was dumbfounded.

It is written all over the above that the Green Gang Navy is so bad, how loose the military discipline is, how vulnerable the combat effectiveness is, and so on.

In a way, this is indeed true.

"This... This.... Isn't this a show of weakness? ”

"If the enemy knows that our naval division is tired and unbearable, it will inevitably lose in the rear arrangement, and the heavy troops will be mainly assembled on the front line of the Liaohe Great Wall.

"As far as the lower officer knows, what is said above is true, the military discipline of the Green Gang Navy...

"Ha, you have to worry too much about this, fighting at sea depends on boats, even if the Qing Gang can't keep up with military discipline and training, the skills of driving a boat are still no problem, just those sampans in Goguryeo, if they dare to fight us at sea, it is no different from using a mantis arm as a car."

Ma Zhou seemed to understand and said: "Then, just post it in the newspaper?" ”

"Of course not, the Goguryeo people are not stupid, why would our Datang expose their shortcomings for no reason? Therefore, this sentence should be added to the front of this article. ”

As he spoke, he saw Qin Hao writing on the paper: "Chendeng Prefecture Yu Shi Ma Zhou, Guandeng Prefecture Sailor Table." ”

"This... How can this be done? Hou Ye, the lower officials have no grudge against Hou Ye, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing of revenge. ”

"What are you anxious about, isn't this to increase the rationality of this article, I believe that Goguryeo will definitely have spies in Chang'an, go back and let Changsun Chong operate it, so that the people will know the contradiction between you and me, so that your article is sent to hit me, and it is reasonable, and I will add some other crimes related to me when I go back."

"Wouldn't this tarnish the reputation of Lord Hou?"

"Alas~, that's why I said that you are not suitable to be the Lang Zhong of the Fengyan Yamen, you remember, a righteous man and a gentleman can't get intelligence, to do this business, you must first soak yourself in the rotten and stench mud, what reputation, what reputation, you can't ask for anything, what the Fengyan Yamen did in Tuyuhun last year was to skip you to do it, which has the order to pit your own people, and the order to kill innocent foreign people, all of this is for victory, the reputation of you and me, in the face of the national war, is worth a few taels of silver?"

"I send you a word, being in the dark, and the heart is towards the light, this is a qualified intelligence officer."
