Chapter 678: Rumors
Li Dian is now a general under Cao Cao, and Li Dian is a very cautious person. Speaking www.biquge.info of which, when Li Dian first defected to Cao Cao, he was actually an accessory of his uncle Li Gan. At that time, Cao Cao didn't know that he had a Li Dian under his command.
When Li Dian walked into Cao Cao's sight, it was also because of an accident. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting, it was Li Dian's uncle Li Gan who led the troops and horses of his headquarters to fight. And at that time, Li Dian was just a general of Li Gan. But later, Li Gan and his son were killed by Yuan Shao's people, and there was no way, Li Gan's subordinates could only promote Li Dian as the boss. And it was in this way that Li Dian inherited the title of his uncle Li Gan and became a general under Cao Cao.
And now, General Li Dian is leading an army of 30,000 troops to be stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, that is, near Liyang in the south of Wei County, Jizhou. On the opposite side of Li Dian is the turbulent Yellow River, which ravages the land of Yanzhou.
At the beginning, when Li Dian led the army, he received an order to stand by on the north bank of the Yellow River. From the time Li Dian received the order to set off from Luoyang, until now, eight days have passed. And in these eight days, Li Dian was not idle and playing, nor was he busy making tools for crossing the river for disaster relief and various preparations, but was asking for news everywhere.
At the beginning, when Li Dian was transferring troops to the camp near Handan in Zhao County, Li Dian heard a piece of gossip.
A piece of news about Cao Cao, the king of Wei, and the flood in Yanzhou.
"You know what? I heard that the south side of the river had burst. The whole of Yanzhou has become an ocean. ”
"Yes! How don't you know! I don't think there are many people who don't know about this! By the way, have you heard that some people say that this is God's punishment for King Wei! ”
If Li Dian didn't hear the word King Wei, Li Dian would have regarded it as an ordinary rumor.
"King Wei? This river burst because of the heavy rain for several days, what does it have to do with the King of Wei! ”
The Yellow River has not burst its banks once or twice, is it all Cao Cao's ghost?
"Hehe, I don't know! I'll tell you......" The person who seemed to know what was going on suddenly stopped abruptly halfway through his words, whetting the appetite of the people around him. Of course, it also includes Li Dian, who is dressed in civilian clothes.
"What, say it quickly!" The people around him urged.
"Ahem, I'm so thirsty!" The man said, his eyes skimming the flask beside him.
"Oh! Oh! The people around reacted immediately, and quickly lifted the flask and prepared to refill it, but the small flask was already empty. There is no shadow of half a drop of fine wine.
"Give!" Li Dian generously handed over his wine jug, because Li Dian also wanted to hear what kind of news this was.
"Thank you, this strong man!" The man bowed his hand to Li Dian and toasted three times in a row! "Good wine!"
"Alright, let's talk about it!" Li Dian said impatiently. But the man walked directly to Li Dian and sat down.
Shaking his head, he said, "You don't know! A few days ago, I traveled the world downstream, but when I walked to Youzhou, I accidentally strayed into the mountains and forests and got lost......"
Damn, what about Cao Cao, the king of Wei, what does it have to do with your travel around the world, don't go off-topic!
The man saw the unkind eyes of the people around him, and hurriedly continued: "It's a pity, the sky will not stop me!" In the deep mountains and old forests, I met an old man with white hair and white beard. This old man, with a white beard of six feet, white hair standing up high, a white floating dust in his hand, and a robe as white as snow on his body. However, what is even more strange is that in this deep mountain and old forest, the clothes on this old man's body do not have a trace of dust, but underneath his clothes are ragged like a beggar. ”
Li Dian is also in a hurry, there is a lot of nonsense! Isn't it just an old man covered in white?
"Everyone!" When the man saw that the people who were already angry, he quickly raised his hand, and if he didn't focus on it, he would be beaten.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The old man in white was directly lifted up, I only felt a strange sound of wind, and then after only a few breaths, I actually came out of the old forest. And when I look back, there is no old man's figure. The man danced with his hands, and his mouth made a strange elephant sound.
"Just as I was about to leave, a strange sound suddenly sounded between heaven and earth. Presumably, that's what the old man said! ”
"What did he say?" Li Dian finally couldn't sit still.
"The thief breaks the ancestral road, and the gang often sweeps the ground! Great calamity has struck from heaven, and the people are suffering! Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you can be liberated! ”
"What do you mean?" After the man finished speaking, he laughed, and strode away with Li Dian's wine jug. The surrounding listeners were all thinking about the meaning of those words.
'Wait! Great calamity has struck from heaven, and the people are suffering! It should be said that this is the big flood. The thief broke the ancestral road, referring to ......' Suddenly, Li Dian remembered a few words that Liu Bei had hyped up before, Cao thief, national thief, Han thief ......, combined......
"It's amazing!" Li Dianzhao jumped up from the stool, "What about the person before?" ”
At this time, the people around Li Dian reacted, but looked around, how could there be half of the figure of the person before.
"Chase!" Li Dian took one step towards the wine shop. However, there are so many roads and trails around, where to chase it!
There was no way, Li Dian had no choice but to give up, and asked someone to repair a letter to the county magistrate of the county, reminding the county magistrate to pay attention to the person who spread the news, and Li Dian went to the morning again.
But after Li Dian arrived at the camp near Handan, Li Dian found that this news was also quietly spreading in the camp.
Although there are some discrepancies between the stories, the three sentences and twenty-four characters are exactly the same. Li Dian suddenly had a bad feeling.
Immediately, Li Dian immediately found out the few people who spread rumors from the army, and then slaughtered them in front of the 30,000 army.
"Without King Wei, you are still in a mess under Yuan Shao. Without King Wei, do you have a field at home? Without King Wei, do your family have food to eat......
"From now on, there will be more rumors who will punish the three clans!"
The human heart is terrifying! Good guys, bad guys, what's the difference? It's simple, the heart is different!
Li Dian is a person who reads poetry and books, and Li Dian knows very well the allusions of the three of them becoming tigers. Moreover, under Li Dian's heavy sentence, the rumors in the barracks finally stopped circulating.
However, when Li Dian led the army to pass through some cities, Li Dian also deliberately went into the city to inquire. Li Dian found that these three sentences and twenty-four character rumors were already flying all over the sky.
Li Dian is hindered by military affairs, how can he have the time to carefully find the person who spreads rumors. Moreover, the local government has also been aware of it and is vigorously searching for those who spread rumors. However, the gain is very small.
There was no way, Li Dian continued to lead the army to the vicinity of Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River. Subsequently, Li Dian sent a large number of spies to investigate.
Three days later, the spies returned. Moreover, the spies came back with very bad information.
The rumors of the entire Wei County have been in a state of wanton flying. Li Dian knew that this matter was very important, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had less than two years to take Jizhou. Now in Jizhou, Cao Cao is actually not firmly in his hands. And at this time, with such rumors, if you don't deal with them quickly, the consequences will be extraordinary!
