Feng Zhen's ability to manipulate the navy to control public opinion is not as good as Wei Ci, but it is far beyond the normal level of this period.

When Yang Tao and others found out that something was wrong, the rumors had spread completely, almost like a wildfire, the people were panicked, the grain storage of the rice shop was snapped up, and the traders took advantage of this shareholder wind to double the already steadily rising grain prices.

"Bastard—why didn't you get back to me sooner?"

Yang Tao rarely moved the real fire, he is indeed loose-tempered, but he is not a bad breed who can be silent when he is bullied by someone on the nose and in the face.

This matter not only annoys Yang Si and Feng Zhen for being insidious and unaware, but also annoys the inaction of everyone under the account, the people are making such a big fuss, and the relevant news is actually put in front of their own case. Public opinion has already formed a fire, and it will be difficult to extinguish it.

The courtier who was questioned by Yang Tao was very aggrieved, and he was also innocent.

"The enemy is very cunning, not only hiring beggars and homeless people to spread rumors, but also sending people to spread rumors in tea shops, wine shops, restaurants and other places, often using the name of relatives who cannot be beaten by eight poles to deceive the trust of the people. It is easy to deceive those foolish people, and they will be gullible in a few words. ”

The courtiers did not dare to exonerate themselves for the sake of enlightenment, so they could only divert their anger and plant the blame on the enemies and the foolish people.

At this time, it is neither spring plowing nor autumn harvest, and many people are idle and have more time to catch lice.

A little widow's gossip, they can all arrange half a moon with relish, not to mention the rumors spread by Toyojin.

By the time their people found out, the number of people who knew about the rumors was already huge, and the rumors could not be controlled at all.

Yang Tao had a gloomy face, seeing through that person's tricks, but he couldn't really throw all the responsibility on the other party.

Qian Su said, "Lord, the most important thing at this time is to find a way to block the mouth of the people, if the rumors spread further, not only the people will be panicked, but the soldiers under the tent will also be affected." In contrast, the tricks of Feng Zhen and others can be ignored. ”

As long as Feng Zhen and they don't send troops to attack, those provocations and small actions can be ignored.

Yang Tao rubbed his brows with a headache and asked Qian Sudao, "How to block it?"

If there is only a small group of people, it would be good to be arrested and punished severely, but not now.

Yang Tao is not good at dealing with these at all, and he usually lets Yan Lin or Qian Su toss them.

"It's a pity that Shaoyang is not here......" Qian Su sighed, Yan Lin was training troops and inspecting armaments in Huankou at this time, and it is estimated that he didn't know about this stubble matter, he continued, "The minister has a way, I don't know if it's feasible, the lord might as well listen to it?"

Yang Tao said, "When is this happening, if you have a way, you can say it." ”

He relied on Yan Lin a lot, but it didn't mean that he would only stare at Yan Lin and ignore the other courtiers, let alone make them cold.

Qian Su said, "Since the enemy is spreading rumors that our army is short of food and grass, it is better to let them see, and the rumors will be self-defeating." ”

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, wondering, "Our army's food and grass are indeed insufficient, how can I show it to outsiders?"

Qian Su said with a smile, "Confusing the enemy is nothing more than a false means, as long as it can stabilize people's hearts." ”

It is true that they have no money or food, but that does not prevent them from cheating.

As a result, on the second day, a thousand-person grain transport team appeared on the street.

Some of the wooden rice jars are slung to the shoulder, while others are piled on the board and pulled by people.

When the people saw it, they felt novel, and one by one they stretched their necks to take a closer look.

At this time, a young man accidentally broke his foot, and the wooden rice jar he was carrying on his shoulder fell to the ground, and the opening was knocked open, and the grain inside was scattered all over the ground. The centurion threw a whip at the fellow, and the other party was whipped and rolled on the ground in pain.

"Don't put away all the grain yet! Slowly, when will this batch of grain be put into the grain depot? ”

The man knelt and begged for mercy, hurriedly put the scattered grain back into the barrel, resealed the mouth, and resisted it on his shoulder with the help of others.

Whether it is the wooden rice jar carried on the shoulders of the guy or the rice jars piled high on the car, one by one is full of weight.

This can be inferred just by looking at the heavy steps and wheel prints of the guy.

The people watching this scene were secretly speechless.

"Didn't you say that the army was short of food and was so poor that it couldn't open the pot, where did this food come from?"

"This batch of grain has 10,000 stones, right?"

"Those rumors before must have been deliberately released by Liu Xi in an attempt to shake the morale of the army......"

The people who said these words were all nails arranged by Qian Su in advance, and the people around them would only follow suit.

After several batches of such shipments, the rumor of Yang Tao's lack of food was temporarily suppressed.

When Feng Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Yang Si smiled, "I don't know who came up with such an idea, but he is so bold, he is not afraid of being exposed in public?"

If Feng Zhen and the others had news in time, maybe they would have sent someone to rush over and make a fuss and knock over those wooden rice bowls.

They wanted to see if these jars of rice were full of real food!

It's a pity -

Yang Si and the others knew much later, and Yang Tao had already suppressed the rumors.

Feng Zhen said, "If Yang Si is even afraid of this little risk, we don't have to fight him, so as not to lower the style." ”

No strategy is truly unsolvable and seamless, and no matter how good the solution is, there will be certain risks.

Qian Su can react in a short time, who can say that he is not doing well?

Yang Si said with a smile, "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely recruit this person and let him and Zixiao 'embarrass each other'." ”

Wei Ci manipulated public opinion and slipped away, and Qian Su's crisis public relations also made a good appearance, and the two joined forces, and the black ones could be whitewashed.

Feng Zhen said a cool word, "Yang Tao doesn't fall, you still want to recruit people who can be used under his account?"

Yang Si said, "Then let's let Yang Tao fall!"

Feng Zhen said, "Yang Tao's weakness at this time is the weight of grain and grass and soldiers and horses. The latter is easy to say, but the former is not easy to solve. ”

Calculating the time, there is still a period of time before the autumn harvest, and Feng Zhen wants to gamble.

Yang Si asked him, "Bet on what?"

Feng Zhen said, "Bet that Yang Tao's grain storage will not last until the autumn harvest." ”

When the scholars flattered them before, a few scholars who occupied countless fertile fields revealed a key piece of news - Yang Tao had sent people to borrow grain from them, and the amount of grain borrowed was quite large - these scholars were also human spirits, and they knew that the so-called borrowed grain was borrowed or not, and they were not optimistic about Yang Tao, so they simply refused. In order to win Feng Zhen's trust, they used this to belittle Yang Tao.

Yang Si understood Feng Zhen's plan.

"You mean to lead Yang Tao's soldiers and horses to intercept grain?"

Feng Zhen nodded, "That's exactly what it means!"

Yang Sidao, "Yang Tao has a lot of people under his account, so he may not be easily fooled." ”

Feng Zhen said, "Fake, of course they won't be fooled, but what if it's true? Yang Tao used the Zhao family to plot against us, why don't we draw a gourd like the same and learn his method to calculate and go back?"
