People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 514 Waiting for You to Drink
"Have you heard about it? It's said that in Xuanxia, ​​everyone gets a piece of land. If someone can't make ends meet, the government will give them interest-free money to settle down. They won't urge you to pay it back, and you can pay it back slowly over many installments."

In the corner of the barracks, when the soldiers were cooking, they started chatting while eating.

The soldier who was speaking excitedly was obviously better dressed than the others. He seemed to be a low-level soldier in the army. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him exclaimed in a low voice.

In those days, the long distance of travel was not a bad thing for Wu and Shu. At least the real situation in Xuanxia was easy to control. As long as the government was willing to cut off the news, the people would not be able to know the situation in the north.

Of course, this cannot be completely isolated. As time goes by, Xuan Xia’s actual situation will inevitably flow in.

But the Wu and Shu government had another way, which was to demonize Xuan Xia among the people, making the news that came in lose its authenticity, thereby achieving the goal of controlling the people.

If they really ignore it and let the people know what kind of life Xuanxia is living, the sky of Wu and Shu will probably collapse.

Of course, there are always smart people in the world, and there will always be people who can obtain real information.

When the other soldiers asked questions one after another, the soldier who spoke couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Actually, I won't hide it from you. A relative of mine fled to Xuanxia a long time ago, and later brought news to my family. That's how we learned about these things. Even those merchants who came from the north to do business brought a lot of news. These things are absolutely true."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exclaimed again, and slowly began to imagine the situation in Xuan Xia in the north.

And the soldier who was speaking talked about more and more things, each of which fascinated the soldiers.

If what Xuan Xia said were all true, then in comparison, the life he was living now was worse than that of a pig or a dog.

"The government said these were all fake news, and you believed them?"

Seeing the atmosphere gradually heated up, the soldier looked around first, then turned around and continued to speak mysteriously: "Why do you think the Yellow Turbans are so good at fighting? If Xuan Xia didn't treat them well, would they have such fighting power?"

At this point, the soldiers were silent. This was indeed the biggest problem. Other things could deceive people, but fighting with knives on the battlefield could not deceive people.

They are all soldiers, and everyone knows what's going on. How much effort a soldier is willing to put in depends on how much he is paid.

Afterwards, the soldier talked about what he knew about the treatment of the Yellow Turban soldiers. When they heard that the Yellow Turban soldiers had military pay and preferential policies such as tax reduction, their eyes immediately turned red.

At this moment, everyone understood why the Yellow Turbans were so good at fighting. If it were them, they would be able to fight too!
While they were talking excitedly, they did not notice that a general in armor had come to them not far away. Judging from the gloomy expression on the general's face, he had obviously heard what they were saying.

The two armies are fighting, and it is terrible to spread such words at this time.

If you are serious about it, you can arrest all these soldiers and execute them for the crime of disrupting military morale.

The officer was about to step forward and scold him, but after taking just two steps, he stopped and his expression suddenly became strange and nervous.

The reason for this was actually just because he heard a name, a name that he dared not mention to anyone after he came to the State of Wu.

That’s his brother-in-law, Lu Meng!

"In fact, my brother-in-law is now serving as a soldier under Xuanxia's Yuzhou governor Lu Meng. If not, I wouldn't know these things so clearly. Speaking of Lu Meng, it's a coincidence. I heard from my brother-in-law that Lu Meng's brother-in-law is also in our army. Do you know who that person is?"

The soldier spoke mysteriously, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. However, they did not realize that the general standing behind them had turned as pale as paper with fear.

They would never have thought that the person the soldier was talking about was their immediate superior Deng Dang!
"Bastard!"

Suddenly, Deng Dang stepped forward and interrupted everyone's laughter.

At this time, Deng Dang had a dead fish face and a gloomy look in his eyes, which made all the soldiers feel nervous.

The military is a place where status and hierarchy are strictly followed. A middle-level general in the Wu army like Deng Dang is enough to scare a group of new recruits.

"I just heard that you seemed to be discussing Xuan Xia's affairs. Now that the two armies are fighting, you still dare to spread such turbulent words. Do you want to die?"

Deng Dang's faint question made all the soldiers tremble in fear.

This kind of thing can be big or small. At the smallest, it can be solved by just a scolding. At the biggest, it can even be beheaded and it won't be considered unfair.

Fortunately, the soldiers were smart and immediately begged for mercy. It seemed that their begging attitude worked. Deng Dang did not make things difficult for them. He snorted coldly, gave them a lesson and then sent them away.

But at the last moment, he looked at the soldier who started the conversation.

"You come with me!"

All of a sudden, everyone looked over and gave the soldier sympathetic looks, muttering in their hearts that talking too much would not end well.

But for some reason, the soldier did not show any fear at this time. He just smiled faintly and followed Deng Dang to the corner of the barracks.

In a secluded place, Wang Dang looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. Then he looked at the soldier and asked, "Are you from the Yellow Turbans?"

The soldier smiled and nodded: "The general is indeed smart."

"Do you think I'm stupid? I just walked over and heard you talking about my story. How could it be such a coincidence!" Deng Dang sneered, but then his face turned cold and he stared at the soldiers with a slightly dangerous look: "What do you Yellow Turbans want to do with me?"

The soldier did not hide his intention and said frankly: "We hope that the general can give up his evil ways and create a chance for our army to win at this critical moment in the battle!"

"Do you think you can threaten me just because I'm Lu Meng's brother-in-law?" Deng Dang sneered, his hand unconsciously reaching for the sword at his waist: "As a minister of Wu, I, Deng Dang, will die for Wu. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender to the enemy!"

The soldier glanced at the sword in Deng Dang's hand and curled his lips in disapproval.

If he was afraid of death, he would not have come out to instigate rebellion at this time.

He smiled calmly and said, "In fact, our army had no intention of inciting the general to rebel. It was General Lu Meng who specifically proposed this matter, so we made such a plan."

Deng Dang froze for a moment, and stopped moving his hands.

The soldier continued, "General Lu Meng asked us to tell you that he is waiting for you to drink in the north."
