A sudden storm of rumors in Luoyang City, under the leadership of countless well-intentioned people, began to cover hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and the market gates, streets and alleys were all discussed.

However, with the Prime Minister's Office, the situation began to reverse.

"In the first battle of Wuzhangyuan, hundreds of thousands of troops of our Wei army were destroyed in one fell swoop, this is the shame of my Great Wei, this revenge is not avenged, and it is not worthy of Wei people!"

"Wu people want to kill me in the Great Wei River, I'll try to fight to the end!"

"Wu thieves are really hateful, we are willing to take up swords, resist Wu Baowei, and fight to the end!"

"Born as a Wei person, died as a Wei ghost!"

"I am willing to protect Dawei from falling, and I am fearless in life and death!"

I have to say that there are still capable people in the Wei Dynasty, and the Prime Minister's Mansion did not immediately come to calm the people in the name of the imperial court, but instead sent a lot of people to blend in, taking advantage of this storm that has already blown up, and boosting the confidence of the Wei people.

After the First World War in Kwantung, Cao Wei's decline affected the confidence of many Wei people, and now the Cao Wei court is indeed at the bottom of the fall, but it can also rebound if it falls to the bottom.

Cao Cao established the Great Wei Dynasty for ten years, governing the people strictly, governing the army strictly, and his prestige was very heavy, and he accumulated a lot of people's hearts bit by bit, even if he did not hesitate to use military force and forcibly expropriate and extort violently during this period of time, but finally Cao Wei's popular heart still exists.

Although this rumor is still getting more and more intense, to a certain extent, it has also reversed the force of the Wei people, but it has aroused a lot of anti-Wu hearts of the Wei people.

……

Jin Se Accord.

In an elegant attic, Queen Guo was dressed in a colorful neon dress, her pretty face was a little gloomy, and she looked at Li Nie and reported to her: "Governor Dadu, the current situation in Luoyang City seems to have been somewhat reversed, and some people have used their strength to fight with the help of this rumor, which has aroused the anti-Wu heart of the Wei Dynasty!" ”

This situation exceeded their expectations and caught Queen Guo off guard.

"The wind is blowing, but whether it is an east wind that buries the Wei Dynasty or a west wind that reverses the Wei Dynasty is not yet known!" Li Nie looked at the Luo Shui under his feet, and a playful smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

He expected that things would not go so smoothly, after all, Cao Wei's talents were not dead, and there were many powerful characters in both military and political affairs.

"There are still some capable people in the Wei Dynasty!"

Queen Guo asked in a low voice, "Governor, what are we doing now?" ”

"Hehe, you can't let people only get beaten and not fight back, no matter how they appease, it's just a group of grasshoppers after autumn, let them continue to jump!"

Li Ne didn't care much about this matter, he smiled faintly and said calmly: "Jin Se, don't be too anxious about everything, even if you are watching a play, you have to be a little patient!" ”

"Watching a play?"

When Queen Guo heard this, she was immediately a little puzzled.

"This is Luoyang, Jinyiwei is not as good as the Guanzhong family, we use very hard, it is better for Sima Lang to move his little finger, this is Sima Lang's battlefield!"

Li Nie said calmly: "Whether this matter is successful or not, depending on his Sima Lang's performance, you can cooperate with him, don't be too persistent, and we still have our tasks!" ”

"Please make it clear to the Metropolitan Governor!" Queen Guo stood up.

"Zhang Yan!" Li Nie spat out a name.

"The Seventeenth Army of the Blood Wolf Legion, Commander Zhang Yan?"

When Queen Guo heard this, the light shrank slightly in her faint pupils: "Since he was captured by the Wei army, he has been escorted to the camp on the outskirts of the city, and the current situation is unknown!" ”

"Zhang Yan is the largest general in our army who was captured by the Wei army, Your Majesty's holy decree, rescue him at any cost!"

Li Ne said word by word: "Once the news of Wuzhangyuan is transmitted back to Luoyang, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Luoyang, and Jia Xu's eyes will also be led away by Sima Lang, this is the best opportunity, we will take the opportunity to rescue him!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy to get!"

Queen Guo said: "In the camp of tens of thousands of tigers and leopards, there is not much hope for saving people!" ”

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, which had already been dispatched back to Luoyang, was now the most powerful force inside and outside Luoyang City.

The Wei army basically dispatched either the Tiger Prison Pass on the eastern front, or the Chang'an City on the western front, and the one currently in Luoyang, except for the Imperial Forest Army in the city, is the tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city.

Zhang Yan has been imprisoned in the Tiger and Leopard Ride.

Originally, he planned to exchange prisoners at the beginning of this year, but unfortunately, a sudden battle disrupted the peace talks between the two sides, so Zhang Yan was still detained in the Wei Dynasty.

"It's easy, it's not easy, since Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, even if we pay all the strength of the entire Luoyang Jinyi Guard, we have to save people!"

Li Nie's face was resolute, and he said categorically: "You go to inquire first, you must find out the situation!" ”

"No, I'll arrange it immediately!"

Queen Guo nodded in agreement, and then exited the attic.

……

With the storm of rumors swept away, even after some guidance, it inspired the hearts of many Wei people, but the depressed mood also began to erupt, and the Cao Wei court was still a little unbearable.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Boda, Yuan Chang, I'm afraid this matter is a little beyond our expectations, what do you think?" Xun Yu knelt down in front of the bookcase, his face was solemn, and his eyes looked at Sima Lang and Zhong Xuan on the left and right.

"Prime Minister, this matter is getting more and more out of control, and it is obvious that someone intends to shake the hearts of the people of Dawei!"

Sima Lang said in a deep voice: "The situation of the first battle of Wuzhangyuan is not yet clear, but the rumors appeared first, it must be the Eastern Wu Jinyi Guard, they are very shrewd, no matter how we emphasize it at this time, it is difficult for us to make the people believe it!" ”

"And how do you think we should fight back against this storm?"

Xun Yu nodded and asked, "Do you continue to use your strength?" ”

"Lord Zhong Xuan's strategy of using his strength is very good, in a short period of time, let the Wei people hate the same enemy, arouse their people's morale, but in the long run, it will still shake the foundation of the imperial court, I think, immediately issue a public announcement of the imperial court!" Sima Lang said.

It was going smoothly before, but Zhong Miao jumped out and offered a plan to delay the announcement of the people, and with the help of this storm, he inspired the people, but he successfully regained a lot of advantages.

"Prime Minister, I think it's better to slow down, at present, we are using this storm of rumors, but it has aroused a lot of people's hearts!"

Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice: "Danger may not be an opportunity, if you continue to be intense, maybe many young people will automatically enlist in the army!" ”

"Lord Zhong Xuan, but now the situation in the court, we can't hold it!"

Sima Lang's heart tightened, it was not that Cao Wei couldn't hold it, but he didn't have much time at all, the news of Wuzhangyuan would come back soon, and he had to paste the notice of Anmin in the name of the Wei Dynasty before the news of the battle of Wuzhangyuan came back.

Only by beating oneself can the prestige and trust of the Great Wei Dynasty among the people be wiped away.

"What Boda said is good, we don't have much time to entangle with Soochow in this area at the moment!" Xun Yu pondered for a while, before there was any news from Wuzhangyuan, it was true that this rumor should not continue to ferment, the more it spread, the more it could not be suppressed.

He thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The eastern front is unstable, the battle of Wuzhangyuan has not yet been concluded, if Luoyang continues to be turbulent, Guanzhong may be unstable, we must stabilize the people's hearts!" ”

"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xuan pondered for a while, and did not refute, but looked at Sima Lang with some doubts, he was a little too happy in this matter, right?

But he wasn't wrong.

Indeed, before the situation of the Battle of Wuzhangyuan was never clear, if Luoyang City suddenly became chaotic, it would inevitably lead to the instability of the troops on the eastern and western fronts, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

So Zhong Miao didn't think much about it.

"Prime Minister, I will be responsible for this matter, and I will stabilize the hearts of the people!" Sima Lang arched his hand and said.

"Good!"

Xun Yu currently has few people available in his hands, so he has to hand over this matter to Sima Lang.

……

Following.

In the city of Luoyang, streets and alleys, wine shops at the city gates, and court announcements began to be pasted out.

"The imperial court announced that all the defeats were rumors in the market, all of them were fiction, our Wei army fought bravely, fought fiercely in Wuzhang Yuan, the Wu army was defeated, and the party used such despicable means to mess with the hearts of the people of our Great Wei, all of this is the work of the thieves in the brocade clothes of Eastern Wu, and the people of Great Wei should not be fooled!"

"It turned out to be a fake!"

"I'll just say, our Wei army is not so easy to lose!"

"My Wei army's hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they be so easily defeated by Wu thieves, this battle will be won!"

"Wu thief is too hateful, he is inferior to his means, he is defeated by our army on the battlefield, and he actually spreads rumors and disturbs the hearts of the people of Dawei!"

The imperial court made a move, and the popular hearts of the Wei people began to settle down, and many of the popular hearts towards the imperial court even began to rebound, and one by one they cursed the Wu people with righteous indignation.

……

Sima's Mansion, in the study.

Sima Lang was dressed in a Confucian robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, and his body was straight, standing in front of the window, looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, and a playful smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, how much the people's hearts collided with the rebound, and when the news of the defeat really came back, the majesty of the Wei Dynasty fell as fast as possible.

This move was suppressed first and then raised, and it did pinch the seven inches of Cao Wei's court.

"Eldest prince, Sima San, they asked, do you still need to continue spreading rumors?"

"It's too late!"

Sima Lang shook his head and said to the little scholar: "Xiaogui, you go and tell them, let them wait, be careful of the ghost pawn spies, no one is allowed to venture without my order!" ”

"Yes!"

The little scholar nodded and walked out of Sima's mansion.

"What do you want, Boda?"

Sima Fang suddenly pushed open the door of the study, walked in, and looked at the back of the eldest son standing in front of the windowsill, and he felt more and more strange about the eldest son.

Others don't know, doesn't he know the strength of the Sima family?

He didn't know very well before, but when he investigated thoroughly, he found that 90% of the rumors in Luoyang City these days were spit out from the people below the Sima family, and there was a big problem here.

"Father, please be seated!"

Hearing this, Sima Lang turned his head and said calmly.

"Boda, let me ask you, did you personally come up with those rumors in the market these days?" Sima Fang's face was gloomy.

"That's right!"

Sima Lang did not deny it, but generously admitted: "I made it all out single-handedly, in Luoyang City, Jinyiwei is not as powerful as our Guanzhong family, this thing Jinyiwei can't do, only our Guanzhong family can have the ability to do it!" ”

"Why are you doing that?"

When Sima Fang heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, he always thought that the second son was the most capable, but the eldest son had the most docile personality and would never disobey him, but he didn't expect Sima Lang to secretly come to such a hand. (To be continued.) )
