Chapter 1307 Finally tasted the power of rumors

The next day, a series of unpredictable events began to happen, like dominoes being pushed, making Ma Chao overwhelmed.

First, there were sudden rumors in Xiangyang City. One theory was that Ma Chao had a heart of disobedience, so he placed the emperor under house arrest with the intention of poisoning him, and replaced him himself; Jun was forced to death by Ma Chao, and then the envoy of Liu Zhang in Yizhou was also imprisoned by Ma Chao, forcing him to go out of Yizhou's geographically dangerous mountains and rivers, and lead the army to attack Yizhou;

The last statement is even more bizarre, and it is also the core of all rumors that Ma Chao believes.Everyone in the market said that he, Ma Chao, was going to kill Liu Bei.The reason is that Uncle Liu Huang was loyal to the Han Dynasty and was resolutely unwilling to join forces with rebellious officials and thieves like Ma Chao, which made Ma Chao displeased.It's just that Ma Chao didn't dare to do anything because Liu Huangshu's righteousness and Bo Yuntian were famous all over the world. He could only find a reason to drive Liu Huangshu out of Jingzhou before he framed him.

"Have you heard?" One of the people on the street whispered excitedly to the people around him, "Ma Chao is going to be emperor himself!"

"Let's just do it. In this world, it's time for a change."

"Fart! This world can only belong to our surname Liu! He, Ma Chao, is a traitor and a traitor, he should be killed!"

"I don't care, anyway, I know, without King Yong, we would have been killed by that demon king of Jiangdong long ago."

"Nonsense, that's Sun Ce who was repelled by our Uncle Liu Huang. He Ma Chao was so overjoyed that he shamelessly took the credit for it!"

"Really? I don't think King Yong is that kind of person."

"Why not? I think before that Ma Chao came to our Xiangyang, Liu Shijun was such a good gentleman, how kind he was to us? But since he came, that demon king Sun Ce attacked our Xiangyang, and Uncle Liu Huang never dared to go out on the street again. Help us..."

"It seems to be the case," the person who had been listening, nodded solemnly, and then his face changed: "The Shadow Jing'an Department is doing business, you gather a crowd to deceive the crowd, come with us!"

"Ah?! The villain is wronged..."

Although there are such plots that are constantly staged on the street, rumors are endless, but they travel all over the world.Especially this time, family conflicts were added to the rumors. In the Han Dynasty, the Liu family was a big family. As the saying goes, Zhang Wang Li Zhao Mandi Liu.Most of these people surnamed Liu are related to the imperial family, but what is certain is that they will not even think about it, and will directly stand in opposition to Ma Chao.

"My lord, this Liu Bei is a quick learner..." Guo Jia smiled and held a piece of rag, on which was crookedly written the rumors that have spread all over the sky on the street: "Using the cheapest rags, the words It’s also purposely written crookedly, but it’s unavoidable to reveal the sophistication of reading poetry and books between the pens…”

"Well, it's really good. This article alone can be called a crusade against our Ma family. It is written with both voice and emotion, with both hardness and softness. It not only shows the majesty of the king of heaven, but also reflects the tension of the life and death of the Liu family. Crisis...Feng Xiao, we are not as good as you are in this matter." Jia Xu nodded again and again, and said hello, smiling, it was the first time he wasn't pretending to be sick.

At this moment, Ma Chao was almost pissed off by these two treasures, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, this letter is written by Yi Ji. If you really want to study, you can visit him someday. Liu Bei, this guy wins people's hearts." The method is really not simple, I didn't expect to be able to borrow the power of these Jingzhou secondary nobles so soon..."

"Husband, what are we going to do next?" Diao Chan was not as relaxed as the three of them, and said worriedly: "Huo Jun came to say that the prisons in Xiangyang City are almost full. Moreover, husband, you also know that Huo Jun, Zhang Yun People like Liu Pan and Liu Pan also hold military power, and according to Yingying's reply, their whereabouts have been strange these days, and they seem to be ready to move."

"What else can I do? Cold salad..." Ma Chao curled his lips helplessly, and the wry smile on his mouth showed more helplessness: "If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay back sooner or later. Rumors and other means, we are better than anyone else." Understand its power. The only way now is to continue to wait!"

"No, no, my lord, you can't just wait." Guo Jia threw away the rag, wiped his hands and said, "We all know that rumors are useful, and they must be just to create momentum. Looking at it now, this This momentum is not strong enough, we must help those hiding in the dark..."

"Help? You mean, we are here to deal with the rumors in the most stupid way this time?" Ma Chao frowned, and looked at Guo Jia with a very strange look: "Feng Xiao, you have to know, this kind of thing But playing with fire..."

"Rumors only stop with the wise, my lord, don't worry, these low-value rumors are just for publicity." Jia Xu also spoke, agreeing with Guo Jia's suggestion.

Immediately, Ma Chao ordered that in Xiangyang Wei, those who dared to pick up the call to arms would be executed immediately, those who dared to pass on the call to arms would be executed immediately, and those who dared to discuss the call to action would be executed immediately.For this reason, he also sent countless shadows all over the people to eavesdrop on the conversations of the common people, set up interrogation stations on the roads, put up lists to intimidate, and hung up the heads of dead criminals in the city to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.But these measures are like putting out a forest fire with a small spoon of water. This kind of high-handed policy does not play any role, it is completely useless.

One day later, from Jiangxia to Nanjun, from Changsha to Jiangling, from Guiyang to Lingling, large and small counties, counties, townships, and pavilions, such calls appeared almost everywhere.Enthusiastic and ignorant people spontaneously spread and passed on.Ma Chaoyue ordered that no one should look at this thing. The more people's curiosity was aroused, the faster this thing would spread among the people.Later, this call to action sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even Ma Chao’s intelligence network couldn’t figure out how it could have such a strong vitality. Everyone knows.

Until the end, there were incidents of conflicts between Xiangyang Guards and lanes, and some Xiangyang Guards even caught the disseminator who was a county soldier.When things got to such an extent, even Ma Chao, who deliberately condoned the rumors, was no longer as relaxed as before.

"Feng Xiao, is your inference accurate?" This time, Ma Chao rarely walked up and down the hall. Such a real move.Otherwise, even if a hundred thousand troops approach the city, he will deploy calmly: "I have already guessed that Liu Bei will throw out some dry goods to divert the tide of the people. But until now he has not moved, and this continues..."

"My lord, you don't think Liu Bei's plans are just like this?" Guo Jia asked back.

"There, I'm worried about the two little guys next to me. After all, it's the first time to use such a large and controllable weapon of mass destruction like rumors. If the timing is not good, we have to take care of their butts. wipe!"

"Children can play with fire, but those two children are not ordinary people." Jia Xunian was the oldest, but it seemed that he did not underestimate Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong at all.

"I'm now wondering if it's time to transfer those two guys, Sima Yi and Fazheng, instead of the two of you. At least, those two guys won't make me so terrified..."

"My lord, are you frightened?" Guo Jia turned around with a rare smile, patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and said in a very past life style: "Don't be joking."

Finally, just after the small-scale conflicts broke out between Xiangyang Wei and the common people, the rumors on Xiangyang Street finally came to an end.This is not to say that the rumors disappeared without reason, but a new rumor broke out, which completely shifted the influence of the previous rumors.

The Nanban in Yizhou rebelled!
The first to confirm this news was Wuling County, which is adjacent to Yizhou. Flee to Jingzhou.Then this piece of news, with its absolute authenticity and shockingness, quickly swept away the rumors that had spread more and more boundlessly before, completely occupying the main public opinion trend in Xiangyang.

And under the influence of the previous rumors, a very unreasonable rumor took advantage of the wind again.In Xiangyang, everyone said that only Uncle Liu Huang could save Yizhou. This was a real life-and-death battle for the Liu family, and it was also a racial war between Han people and barbarians!
"Let Ma Jiajun go?"

"What are you kidding?!"

"This/that is about the old Liu's family!!"

The people in Xiangyang expressed their views with one voice...
