The following day, a series of unpredictable events began to occur, like dominoes that had been pushed, so that Ma Chao was overwhelmed.

First of all, rumors suddenly spread in Xiangyang City, one theory is that Ma Chao had a heart of disobedience, put the Son of Heaven under house arrest and intended to poison him, and replaced him himself; There is also a saying that Ma Chao wanted to persecute all the royal relatives of the Han family in the world, first Jingzhou Liu Envoy Jun was forced to death by Ma Chao, and then Liu Zhang's envoy in Yizhou was also imprisoned by Ma Chao, forcing him to tell the geographical danger of Yizhou's mountains and rivers and lead troops 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 for this is because Uncle Liu Huang is loyal to the Han family and resolutely unwilling to join forces with chaotic ministers and thieves like Ma Chao, which makes Ma Chao disliked. It's just that because Uncle Liu Huang is righteous and famous all over the world, Ma Chao didn't dare to make a move, so he could only find a reason to drive Uncle Liu out of Jingzhou before framing him.

"Did you hear that?" One of the people in the group on the street excitedly whispered to the people around him: "Ma Chao is going to be the emperor himself!" ”

"Just be it, in this world, it's long overdue to be replaced."

"Fart! This world can only be our surname Liu! He Ma Chao is a great rebellion, a rebellious minister and a thief, he should be killed! ”

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

"Bullshit, that's Sun Ce who was repelled by our Uncle Liu Huang, he was super happy with his achievements, so he was shameless to take that credit!"

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

"How not? I think before Ma Chao came to our Xiangyang, Liu Yuanjun was such a good gentleman, how good was he to us? But since he came, Sun Ce's demon king has attacked our Xiangyang, and Uncle Liu Huang no longer dares to go to the street to help us......"

"It seems that this is the case," the person who had been listening nodded solemnly, and then his face changed: "Shadow Jing'an Division, you gather a crowd of demons to confuse the crowd, come with us!" ”

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

Although there are such episodes that are constantly staged on the streets, rumors have no beginning or end, but they are all over the world. Especially this rumor also added family contradictions, in the Han Dynasty, the Liu family was a big family, as the saying goes, Zhang Wang Li Zhao is full of Liu. Most of these people surnamed Liu are related to the imperial family, but it is certain that they will not even think about it, and will directly stand on the opposite side of Ma Chao.

"Lord, this Liu Bei learns very quickly......" Guo Jia smiled and held a rag strip, on which were crookedly written the rumors that have been spread all over the street now: "Using the cheapest coarse cloth and rotten strips, the words are deliberately written crookedly, but the feasible pen inevitably reveals the old spicy ...... who has read poetry and books."

"Well, it's really good, this article alone can be described as a crusade against our Ma family. It is written with emotion, rigidity and softness, which not only shows the majesty of the Heavenly Dao monarch, but also reflects the tension and danger of the life and death of the Liu family...... Fengxiao, such skills, we are not as good. Jia Xu nodded again and again, shouted hello, and smiled, not pretending to be sick for the first time.

Ma Chao was almost angry with these two living treasures at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, this letter is written by Yi, if you are sincere about studying, you can visit him another day." Liu Bei, this guy's means of winning people's hearts is really not simple, I didn't expect that he would be able to use the powerful power of these Jingzhou second-level warriors 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 said that the prisons in Xiangyang City are almost full. Moreover, husband, you also know that Huo Jun, Zhang Yun, and Liu Pan also have military power, and according to the shadow reply, their whereabouts are strange these days, and it seems that they are also ready to move. ”

"What else can I do? Chilled salad ......" Ma Chao pursed his lips helplessly, and the wry smile on his lips drew more helpless meaning: "Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back." We know better than anyone else the power of rumors. Now the only way to do this is to keep waiting! ”

"No, no, my lord, it's not okay to wait." Guo Jia threw away the rag strip casually, wiped his hands and said, "We all know very well the usefulness of rumors, they must just be building momentum." Now it seems that the momentum is not big enough, and we have to help those who are hiding in the shadows......"

"Help? You're saying we're going to use the stupidest way to deal with the rumors this time? Ma Chao frowned, and looked at Guo Jia with a very strange look: "Fengxiao, you must know that this kind of thing is playing with fire......

"Rumors stop at the wise, although the lord can rest assured, such rumors with low gold content are just to build momentum." Jia Xu also spoke, agreeing with Guo Jia's suggestion.

Immediately, Ma Chao ordered Yu Xiangyangwei to behead those who dare to check and pick up the text, and those who dare to pass the text will be beheaded, and those who dare to discuss the text will be beheaded. To this end, he also sent countless shadows all over the people, eavesdropping on the conversations of the common people, setting up checkpoints on the roads, posting lists to intimidate, and hanging the heads of death criminals in the city to achieve the goal of killing chickens and monkeys. But these measures are like watering a forest fire with a spoon, and such high-pressure policies do little and do nothing at all.

A day later, from Jiangxia to Nanjun, from Changsha to Jiangling, from Guiyang to Lingling, large and small counties, counties, townships, and pavilions, such inscriptions appeared almost everywhere. Enthusiastic and ignorant ordinary people spontaneously broadcast and transmit. Ma Chaoyue ordered that no one should be allowed to look at this thing, and the more it aroused the curiosity of the people, the faster this thing spread among the people. Later, this article sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even Ma Chao's intelligence network could not deduce how it could have such a strong vitality, and its spread was like a burning fire, burning the prairie everywhere, everywhere, word of mouth, and everyone knew about it.

Until the end, there were incidents of clashes between Xiangyangwei and the alleys, and some Xiangyangwei even caught the communicators who were county soldiers. Things have come to such a point that even Ma Chao, who deliberately connived at the rumors, has no more ease on his face than before.

"Fengxiao, is your inference accurate?" This time, Ma Chao rarely walked around the hall, and he would only show such a true act in front of these two two strategists who he thought had a higher IQ than him. Otherwise, even if 100,000 troops are approaching the city, he will deploy calmly: "I have already guessed that Liu Bei will throw out some dry goods next to divert the people's trend." But until now he hasn't moved, and ...... like this."

"Lord, you don't think Liu Bei is planning to stop like this, right?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

"There, I'm worried about the two little guys around me, after all, it's the first time to use such a large and controllable weapon of mass destruction as the rumor. In case the timing is not right, we will have to wipe their butts! ”

"Children are all good at playing with fire, but those two children are not ordinary people." Jia Xu is the oldest, but it seems that he does not have the slightest contempt for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

"I think now that I should transfer Sima Yi and Fa Zheng, instead of the two of you. At least, those two guys won't make me tremble like that......"

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

Finally, just after skirmishes had broken 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 have disappeared for no reason, but that a new rumor has erupted and completely diverted the influence of the previous rumors.

Yizhou there is a rebellion in the Nanban!

The first to confirm this news was Wuling County, which was adjacent to Yizhou, where the people who were forced to flee for their lives poured into Yizhou, saying that the people of the Southern Barbarians vowed to kill the Han people, and the Yizhou army was difficult to resist, and they had no choice but to flee to Jingzhou. Then, with absolute authenticity and shock, this news quickly swept away the previous rumors that were spreading more and more with an unmatchable momentum, 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 says that only Uncle Liu Huang can save Yizhou, this is the real life-and-death battle of the Liu family, and it is also a racial war between the Han and the barbarians!

"Let Ma Jiajun go?"

"What are you kidding?!"

"This/That's the business of Lao Liu's family!!"

The people of Xiangyang expressed their views in unison......
