Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 35 Rumors spread!

The next day, Ying Xuan tidied up his appearance and put on a black robe and red-edged dark guard costume.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard the lieutenant shouting.

"Sorry, sir! There were rumors everywhere on the way I came here that the southern expedition army suffered a disastrous defeat and that the Yue people are already preparing to go north!"

Ying Xuan frowned slightly but was not flustered.

If it is said that the Southern Expedition to Baiyue encountered troubles and the army stopped, he believed it, but if it was said that the 40 army was flattened by tens of thousands of Yue people with backward equipment for no reason, it would be a big joke!
After calming the lieutenant for a while, Ying Xuan was ready to go to Shushan Pavilion to see what was going on.

On the way, I met Hu Hai again, and gave him another brainstorm.

He left quickly with a hesitant look on his face.

This time he stopped crying and remained calm.

The maid following on the side asked cautiously.

"Why don't you explain it to the eldest son!"

Hu Hai pouted a little helplessly.

"I was wondering, could I have made it in time if I ran so fast? If I had known that my eldest brother was suspecting Zhao Gao of poisoning, no matter whether it was intentional or not, I wouldn't have been able to accept him as my disciple!"

"If my mother hadn't heard the news, I might still be in the dark now!"

"This damned Zhao Gao! Almost made me hate my elder brother for the rest of my life!"

The maid comforted her.

"Seeing that the eldest son is in such a hurry, it must be something urgent. It won't be too late to explain to the eldest son once he's done with it!"

Hu Hai sighed, that was the only way to go.

At this time, a guard took the paper and ran quickly from behind them to the toilet.

Hu Hai looked a little emotional, he still laughed at his elder brother's whimsy that day!

In just a few months, paper was rapidly becoming popular in the palace, and it became a good item for both writing and toilet use.

The eldest brother said casually at the time, but now it has been realized in sevens and eighties.

At this moment, he deeply realized that he was ignorant and arrogant, and he couldn't even understand the thinking of his eldest brother.

For a moment, Hu Hai's back looked a little lonely at such a young age.

……

When I arrived at Shushan Pavilion, I had not yet entered the hall.

Ying Xuan heard Ying Zheng's furious voice.

With a bang, the table case was overturned.

"Who is spreading the word! Catch them all!"

In the past, Ying Zheng liked to throw bamboo slips, but now that there are no bamboo slips, the memorial is too light to throw, so he changed it to table-turning!

As soon as he entered the main hall, Ying Xuan saw Meng Yi kneeling below with an ugly expression.

Zhao Gao and Li Si next to him were uneasy.

In front of them were paper memorials scattered all over the place.

At this time, everyone saw Ying Xuan walking in, and they suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, and they all winked at Ying Xuan!

But Ying Xuan doesn’t understand what it means!He doesn't even know what's going on!
I could only quietly walk to my position on the right, and accidentally kicked the scattered memorials in the middle of the walk.

Suddenly there was a roar!

"Are your legs crippled? If you can't lift them, get out and chop them off!"

Ying Xuan is helpless, even if he farts at this time, he will be punished!

I can only cup my hands with a dry smile, and dare not speak!
Then Meng Yi was the unlucky one!
"What's the matter? Normally, your secret guards are so powerful, but now you don't dare to arrest people?"

Meng Yi was extremely uncomfortable. This rumor had been spreading in the dark since yesterday evening, and it broke out completely today. After a night of fermentation, it was already too late. There are not dozens or even hundreds of people discussing it now.

The whole Xianyang City is discussing how to arrest him?We can’t arrest all the tens of thousands of people!
Ying Zheng doesn't care so much, and letting the rumors spread like this will cause turmoil sooner or later!We must find a way to stop it!

At this moment, Ying Xuan muttered softly beside him.

"Stopping rumors is not easy!"

Who knew there would be another roar!

"You're sleeping with your tongue and sleeping in your belly? Can't you speak human words?"

Ying Xuan’s temper is also rising!Anyway, no matter how severe the scolding was, it was just a beating.

He raised his head and yelled loudly.

"It's not easy to stop rumors! Just spread a few more rumors!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.

Ying Zheng couldn't scold him when he got to his lips.

He glanced at Li Simengyi, and the two of them were also taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, what they said seemed to make sense.

Not only can it reduce the credibility of the first rumor, but it can also guide the public's attention.

After a while, Ying Zhengcai shouted loudly again.

"How can you make people believe your rumors!"

Ying Xuan continued to yell while holding his neck.

"Then you tell me what's going on! I don't even know what to do!"

The displeased roar made everyone stunned.

Makes sense!
Ying Zheng's anger was suppressed in a daze.

At this moment, Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and stepped forward decisively. His Majesty should not accept such embarrassing words.

He hastily stepped forward and said respectfully to Ying Xuan.

"Master Hui! The army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Nanyue a few days ago. It was supposed to wipe out Nanyue in one fell swoop, but it was blocked by the rain."

"The army could only set up camp, but they did not want to be infiltrated by the enemy. They ran around the army camp on a rainy day with the poison used by Qu, causing thousands of people to die tragically. The camp was in chaos. South Vietnam took advantage of this chaos to attack, causing the two armies to collapse and retreat, leaving many casualties. Nearly [-] people are missing.”

"Even so, the army has not reached the point of a complete defeat, and there will be no more people going north. But this morning, for some reason, Xianyang City suddenly began to have news that the army was defeated and the Yue people had already gone north!"

Ying Xuan frowned and nodded, as long as it wasn't a real fiasco, it would not be difficult to quell the rumors!
At this time, Li Si answered.

"There is also Jiujiang! The last rebellion in Jiujiang County was suppressed by the Daze Township military camp a few days ago."

"But the news came today that someone is once again leading the rebellion, and this time there are shadows of many powerful people from aristocratic families behind it!"

"They spread everywhere about the failure of the Southern Expedition, and the Yue people began to counterattack. They also said that all parts of the Great Qin had lost control, and the six kingdoms had risen again! They bewitched the local Chu people to join them in their rebellion against Qin, saying that the Qu clan who missed the time to exterminate the clan would be a lesson for them!"

Hearing this, Ying Xuan frowned.

The matter has almost become clear, there must be Yue people behind the scenes bewitching the old nobles of Chu.

And it is most likely the Yueren who left from Xianyang.

He wanted to mess up the interior of Daqin in order to relieve the pressure on South Vietnam.

At this time, Ying Zheng spoke up.

"The army will settle the matter in Jiujiang. You only need to deal with the rumors in Xianyang and other places!"

Ying Xuan thought for a moment and said respectfully.

"There are two solutions to this matter! One is to quell it violently, and the other is to spread some confusing rumors."

"There are both pros and cons. For example, the Southern Expeditionary Army marched straight in, and Baiyue has been completely defeated."

"Or the army has collapsed! Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are dead! Da Qin has lost control and is about to destroy the country!"

"Whether it's good or bad, it just needs to be outrageous enough that people have to doubt the authenticity of the rumor."

"In the end, the imperial court announced the comparison of the military strength of the two sides. There is no need for any nonsense! Just put the population of Baiyue, the number of soldiers, and weapons and equipment with our Daqin army on a bulletin board, and convey it to the world."

After Ying Xuan finished speaking, Meng Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately understood.

"In this case, the people will think that the imperial court is very confident and won't even bother to explain it with nonsense words. In less than a day, these rumors will be regarded as jokes by the people themselves."

Li Si also praised.

"That's right! If after hearing all kinds of rumors, I saw the notice issued by the imperial court, there are 40 troops, millions of bows and arrows, and tens of thousands of Nanbanyue people who don't even have enough weapons and equipment."

"I'm afraid I will also think that the rumor is a joke!"

Ying Zheng had lost his anger at this moment.

He was very satisfied with Ying Xuan's method, but he was more curious about the second method. Is there anything better than this?

"What about the second one?"
