Chapter 301: Cai Zhaoji's public opinion offensive
In October 192, the sky in Hanzhong was particularly high and bright.
The six counties of Hanzhong, Wudu, Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui and Guangwei are all extremely busy.
Yan Yan, Zhao Ang and Han Zhong were based on Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui and Guangwei, and sent troops from time to time to harass Ma Teng's troops, making Ma Teng, who was originally in a state of stalemate with Qianghu, even more defenseless.
He never expected that Qianghu would send troops when he was preparing to attack Hanzhong.
Now he regrets it a little, but this kind of thing can't be said, after all, it will affect morale. In fact, Ma Tengchai could also guess that Qianghu's sudden dispatch of troops must have something to do with Ma Bin.
And seeing that the four counties of Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui and Guangwei, which he had worked so hard to win, fell into the hands of Ma Bin, Ma Teng was very helpless.
If Ma Bin continued to send troops to attack his rear at this time, Ma Teng felt that he would be beaten back to Dunhuang again.
But what surprised him was that in the face of such a great opportunity, Ma Bin only asked a few generals under his command to send troops to harass his rear from time to time, which made him a little unpredictable.
Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, has been in a bad mood since Lu Bu was defeated by Ma Bin, and from time to time he killed this minister and destroyed the minister between words, which made the entire court panic.
After Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, he was more in a state of malaise, and he was defeated again and again in battles with Ma Bin, making him feel that his face as the world's number one general had been lost.
Dong Zhuo didn't give Lu Bu too much punishment, it was nothing more than temporarily taking away his military power and making him reflect at home, but everyone in the court knew that Dong Zhuo could rely on a very limited number of henchmen now, and even Xu Rong, who he didn't trust very much, was sent to arrive in Longxian with Niu Fu.
Xu Rong originally hoped to do a big job and raise his eyebrows. But the truth frustrated him again.
There are more than 10,000 men and horses under Niu Fu's command, although it is nothing compared to Ma Teng and Qianghu's men and horses, but now Ma Teng and Qiang Hu are fighting equally, and Ma Bin's army is harassing Ma Teng's rear from time to time, it stands to reason that this is definitely a good opportunity for them to take the opportunity to fight back.
But Niu Fu didn't plan to take the initiative at all, whenever Xu Rong asked for battle. He would refuse to send troops on the grounds that LΓΌ Bu was newly defeated, the army's morale was not stable, and Ma Bin's army could attack their rear from Dasanguan at any time and cut off their food and grass.
It's the same reason every time, and Niu Fu is also drunk in the barracks all day, seeing this situation, Xu Rong can only helplessly sigh that Dong Zhuo's end is coming.
Nanzheng Jingtianfu has always been extremely busy, and when the third issue of the newspaper was issued, Ma Bin has been letting people collect feedback from all the princes in the world.
According to Ma Bin's deployment. All the princes in the world who have a little fame will receive this newspaper, which is more like a kind of propaganda of political opinions.
Although there are few newspapers distributed to the people all over the world, Ma Bin hopes to form an oral transmission effect through this issue of newspapers, even if it can eventually let tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people know, he feels that his goal has been achieved.
Needless to say, Tsai put a lot of effort into this newspaper with political propaganda, and almost completely overturned and rewrote and redesigned it four or five times in a row.
Because she understands. Although it is said that Ma Bin is loyal to the Han Emperor, there is absolutely no intention of rebellion. And after overthrowing those traitors who wanted to rebel, the common people under Ma Bin's jurisdiction lived very well, but it was still very difficult to describe this situation clearly and without any aggression.
In this era, although the newspaper was Ma Bin's first creation, Cai Zhaoji could also see it. From the very beginning, he was branded as a "political propaganda", which is also inevitable.
Ma Bin will not spend money on things that seem to have no gain, and there are too many things that need to be done for him now, and he is also facing a shortage of funds, and the newspaper is a vanguard for him to cut into his own concept of governing the country and the people. If you can get good results, Ma Bin thinks it's worth it! And for Cai Zhaoji, that's what she dreams of seeing.
Hanzhong's fast horses galloped all over the world, and when Dong Zhuo of Chang'an saw this newspaper, he took it out in the court on the second day, and let people read it in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
When the official finished reading tremblingly, Dong Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do you think of this thing that Ma Bin has made?" As far as I know, almost all the roads in the world have received exactly the same thing, and some have been scattered into the people. According to the person who sent it, it was called a 'newspaper'......"
Cai Yong took the lead and said: "This way is very unique, Weichen is really unheard of, unseen ......."
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "He Ma Bin clearly wants to win the hearts of the people in the world!" He didn't want to rebel, what did he want to do? It's getting more and more lawless......"
When Dong Zhuo said this, he didn't say anything directly, which surprised the ministers, but soon everyone understood.
If it was in the past, Dong Zhuo might have let his generals take tens of thousands of horses to teach Ma Bin a lesson, but since Lu Bu's defeat, he has been greatly injured, and for Ma Bin's arrogance or grandstanding, Dong Zhuo can only open one eye and close one eye at this time.
After the emperor asked Yihuangmen to hand him the newspaper, he read it from beginning to end, although there was no expression on his face, but he secretly sighed in his heart.
He didn't expect Ma Bin to proclaim his loyalty through words without a trace, neither looking pretentious nor dominant.
At this time, he could only sigh, if Dahan really had such a loyal and capable minister, then why did he live under Dong Zhuo's clutches every day.
After Dong Zhuo glanced up at the emperor, he said angrily: "It's just something that wants to cover up!" Torn! Torn! β
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but reacted very quickly, and immediately stuffed the newspaper into the arms of Huang Men, who was standing next to him, and said, "Dong Xiang is right! Dong Xiang is right! Don't read such a newspaper! However, his current strength is really not to be underestimated, and the previous appointment of him as the general of the auxiliary country is considered to stabilize him temporarily, but you Aiqing must find a way as soon as possible, otherwise if he really waits for him to attack Chang'an, then my big man will be in danger! β
After Dong Zhuo glared at the yellow door standing beside the emperor, the yellow door that was still in a daze immediately tore the newspaper to shreds.
He snorted coldly and said, "Ma Bin will die sooner or later without a place to be buried!" Retreat! β
With that, he swaggered out of the court.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair took a breath at this time and whispered to the yellow door: "You have merit just now, reward you heavily!" β
The yellow door hurriedly said: "This is what a slave should do, what should be done......
When the emperor walked towards the dormitory with his tired body, he was really full of anger, and now Dong Zhuo is really getting more and more arrogant, just now he actually commanded him in front of all the ministers and asked him to tear the newspaper!
If he hadn't reacted quickly, today's scene would have become a big joke after all.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned to the yellow door who was following behind him and said, "If there is still Ma Bin's newspaper in the future, it will be sent directly and secretly to the Inner Palace!" β
After the yellow gate nodded, the emperor could speed up his pace.
And Cai Yong, who stepped out of the court, was trying his best to recall the content of the newspaper, and the tone of some articles in the content was so similar, too similar to what his daughter wrote!
Although he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong understands better than anyone that the Han Dynasty is now just an empty shell! Now that his daughter can follow Ma Bin to make such an unprecedented thing, as a father, he is still very proud of her.
Yanzhou, the state pastoral office.
Not long after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao was studying in the lobby reading the newspaper sent from Hanzhong. Although the imperial court has not recognized him as a state pastor at all, for him, these are just a matter of time.
Cao Cao, who finally raised his eyebrows, was shocked when he saw Ma Bin's newspaper, and he sighed and sighed: "Ma Bin's move is high, it's really high!" In this way, if anyone leads troops to fight him, will it not be tantamount to a blatant rebellion? Looks like I'm going to have to find someone to run this newspaper too! β
Dong Zhuo's depreciation and Cao Cao's praise soon reached Ma Bin's ears, and the caring Cao Cao directly wrote a letter to Ma Bin, praising Ma Bin's newspaper and saying that he should ask Ma Bin for advice if he had the opportunity.
Such a situation was within Ma Bin's expectations. What makes Ma Bin incredible is that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce all highly praised Ma Bin, this is a benevolent and righteous act, and the heart of loyalty to the monarch can be seen by the sun and the moon.
Sun Ce said this, Ma Bin was somewhat acceptable, but for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Ma Bin felt that there was a lot of trouble in it.
Every time the princes from all walks of life have feedback or special letters, whether it is praise or disapproval, Ma Bin will show it to Cai Zhaoji, and every time the two laugh, they also figure out the intentions of the princes together.
On this day, when Cai Zhaoji was the only one left in the courtyard of the newspaper, Ma Bin came to Cai Zhaoji with a special letter.
He smiled and said, "Zhao Ji, guess which way the princes belong to?" β
Cai Zhaoji calculated for a while and said, "Don't tell me it's Ma Teng or Liu Zhang's ......."
Ma Bin shook his head and said, "Just look at it!" β
Cai Zhaoji saw Ma Bin's mysterious appearance, she slowly stretched out her jade hand to take the letter, and when he opened the letter and saw the contents, her eyes immediately moistened.
Ma Bin said: "Cai Zhonglang said that he is happy and proud of you!" Don't cry, don't cry, you should be happy! β
Ma Bin couldn't see a woman crying the most, not to mention that she was still a talented woman in front of her, but as soon as he finished saying this, Cai Zhaoji threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Ma Bin was stunned, at this time, he really didn't hug, he didn't hug, and just when he didn't know what to do, Diao Chan, who was standing not far away, happened to see this scene in his eyes...... (To be continued......)
