Xia Huan aggressively eradicated Zhao Shu and his courtiers loyal to King Zhao in Handan.

And such an action is naturally impossible to hide from the eyes of ordinary people. After all, there were more than 100 dignitaries and dignitaries who were taken away by the Chu army in the middle of the night.

On the streets of Zhao Kingdom, all kinds of gossip can be heard everywhere. And these rumors, especially after Zhao Shu was publicly executed, reached their peak.

"Did you hear that? Now our Zhao State has been completely controlled by the Chu State. ”

"I've heard that, too. At the beginning, in order to retreat from the Han soldiers, Lord Xiangguo specially begged the king of Zhou, but who knows, but he became a wolf into the room! ”

Two ordinary people in sackcloth were discussing in the tavern, and they seemed to be very upset about Zhao Shu.

Treachery is such a thing as a bargain in this day and age.

However, not long after the words of the two fell, a person at the table wearing brocade clothes and looking like a rich family snorted coldly.

"The two Lu Zuo also know the major events of the court? Zhao Shu was self-inflicted. ”

was ridiculed by the rich and noble son, and the two ordinary people were not angry, but there was a slight shining light in their eyes.

In this era, there are not many entertainment items, and even if there are, they are for the enjoyment of the rich and noble.

Therefore, a little wind and grass can quickly form a gust of wind.

And those who know a little bit of the inside story will naturally become the center of attention.

These two ordinary people are obviously not honest farmers. Otherwise, there would not be such a blatant criticism of those in power.

Knowing that this noble son in front of him seems to know a lot of inside things, he is even more stammered. I want to learn a little truth from the mouth of this noble son, so that it can become a topic of conversation in the future

This noble boy seemed to enjoy the feeling of being touted like this, and beckoned very arrogantly.

"This son tells you, that Zhao Shu is not a good person."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Do you know why the Han army withdrew?"

"That's naturally because the Chu army is here."

"Then do you know which Chu army is coming?"

"This ...... I don't know, I just know it's pretty powerful. ”

"That's the Shenwu Army, the pro-army of Emperor Chu! 10,000 can defeat the 100,000 heavenly soldiers of my Zhao army! ”

"It turns out that it's the Shenwu Army!"

As soon as the noble prince explained this, the two of them immediately understood. The name of the Shenwu Army can be said to have spread all over the world early.

They have not seen it, but they have heard it. Even, in the Han Kingdom, the Shenwu Army can make children stop crying.

After enjoying the shock of the two, the noble prince continued: "The pro-army of the Chu Emperor has traveled thousands of miles all the way. But what about the result, you know? ”

"I don't know." The two shook their heads repeatedly.

"Zhao Shu saw that the Han people had retreated, so he wanted to drive them away!"

"Ah, what else is there?"

"Why not, that's 10,000 people, three meals a day, every meal is polished rice, and those war horses have to be fed with the freshest forage!"

"Three meals a day! It's still rice polishing! ”

Sure enough, with the knowledge of two ordinary people, after hearing such a big consumption, they were shocked, and they showed great envy.

You must know that today's people, not to mention polished rice, even bean rice, may not be able to eat. And that's still twice a day.

In their opinion, with such consumption, it is no wonder that Zhao Shu wants to drive them away. This idea is actually similar to the idea that the emperor used a golden axe to chop wood.

When it comes to power, firewood, rice, oil and salt are their yardsticks.

"Otherwise, the country of Chu is so big and so rich, and it only raises 50,000 people!"

Saying this, the two nodded again, feeling quite reasonable.

"However, we can't just because of these things to drive away our savior of Zhao Kingdom!"

"That's right! This kind of ungrateful thing is really a villain's act! ”

Looking at the indignant appearance of the two, the noble son waved his hand and said, "Okay, my son has finished drinking the wine, so I won't talk nonsense with you!" ”

After the noble prince finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

The two didn't dare to stop them, but after thanking them a few times, they turned their heads and went to find their acquaintances to show off.

What the two didn't expect was that the noble son, who said that he had drunk too much, entered a tavern on the street after turning around.

It's just that it's not the same place to eat as before. The people who come in and out here are obviously from good families. Don't talk about clothes, but between conversations, you are also polite.

More places like red and green bars than taverns.

As soon as the noble prince walked in, after glancing twice, he walked towards a somewhat remote place.

"Isn't this Brother Wang?"

"Oh? It turned out to be Li Gongzi. Come on, come on, get seated. ”

"Handan has not been peaceful in the past two days, and Brother Wang has also come out to have fun?"

"Who's to say it isn't! Just left the Han people, and came the Chu people again. The Han people were okay, but as soon as the Chu people came, even Xiangguo's life was gone. Isn't this smearing my Zhao country's face? ”

"Your message is inaccurate, but I know ......"

Gossip is almost human nature, even for men, but the content of gossip is a little different.

Now, as soon as he heard that there seemed to be some secret hidden in it, the man surnamed Wang also came to the spirit, and listened while adding wine to the noble son.

The noble prince is indeed like a person who has been in such a place, he can speak well, and he has fooled this man surnamed Wang into a solid one.

Of course, that kind of ration theory can no longer be used. At this level, most of them are a bit of visionary, and that kind of thing will only make people laugh when they say it.

It's just that Zhao Shu said that he had offended the Chu State before, and when he saw that the Han army had retreated and Handan was in danger, he wanted to drive away the Chu people again.

Although this reason is still far-fetched, it is reasonable. In particular, the noble son's ventriloquist is good, and his expression does not seem to be fake, so the man surnamed Wang is convinced.

In addition to this noble son, there are many people in Handan City who are doing the same thing.

These people, from the sons of dignitaries to the pawns of peddlers, have everything. All of them are smearing Zhao Shu and adding points to Xia Huan and Chu State.

However, because of the difference in people, some people say something that is convincing, while others are full of loopholes.

But it doesn't matter, the so-called three people become tigers, and if there are more people, the fake can also come true.

As for those who can really touch the depths of the secret, they have either been bought by Xia Huan, or they have become a handful of loess outside Handan City.

Of course, what Xia Huan did was mainly to conceal those people at the middle and grassroots levels, and for those who were really at the top of the pyramid, no amount of cover-up was useless.
