After formulating various strategies, the first thing Ma Chao had to do was to give Yuan Shao and other princes a powerful counterattack morally and seize the righteousness. The next morning dynasty, Ma Chao rarely showed his face, and after the ceremony, he came out and hugged his fist and said: "Your Majesty, today there are anti-thieves Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Sun Jian, Liu Xun and other thieves sent troops to attack Jingzhou and Xuzhou, so that the war disaster in the Han Dynasty has recurred, and the lives have been ruined." The minister is the minister of the auxiliary country, inheriting the will of heaven and the will of the people, deciding to send troops to quell the rebellion, and return the world to a bright future, and ask His Majesty to issue an edict to beg for thieves! ”

"Please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict against the thief!"

"I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict against the thief!"

In addition to Ding Yuan, Cai Yong, Yang Biao and a few other highly respected people, most of them were promoted and arranged by Ma Chao, so they naturally had to support Ma Chao at this moment.

Liu Xie is about to turn fourteen years old, and with the guidance of Empress Dowager Dong, he knows the most about the between Ma Chao and Yuan Shao. He also knew in his heart that this throne would not be kept sooner or later, not to mention that Ma Chao won, and Yuan Shao won, he will definitely not have a good life. Unless there are princes who are truly loyal to the Han family who can rise and have the ability to pacify the world.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping! I have also heard of Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Sun Jian and others sending troops. When Dong Thief was in turmoil in Beijing before, it was also the king of this group of people who raised troops! Today's Han family is unfortunate, the princes of the world have divided their own positions, Liu Yan in Shuzhong is even more called the king and the emperor, the princes of all walks of life do not crusade against Liu Yan, but fight each other, which really makes me embarrassed! ”

Ma Chao frowned, secretly scolded Liu Xie for not knowing how to lift, and said immediately: "What is the difficulty of Your Majesty?" Yuan Shao and others were originally Hanchen, but now they do not respect the Son of Heaven, they have no court, they gather people to rebel, and attack the prefectures and counties, and their hearts can be punished. Your Majesty only needs to issue an edict and cover the jade seal! As for the edict, the general has already been prepared, so I won't bother Your Majesty! In addition, the second lady of the Cai family is still young, in order to relieve the loneliness for His Majesty, the last general specially selected a group of beautiful girls in the folk to serve as palace maids, not to mention that they are about to be offered! ”

Liu Xie's face changed, knowing that Ma Chao's move was just to plant eyes and ears around him in order to firmly control him, but seeing that Ma Chao's eyes were not good, he didn't dare to object at the moment, and said embarrassedly: "In this case, there is General Lao, I wish the general a victory, and I will say triumph as soon as possible!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Chao had already drafted an edict to beg for thieves, and in this era, sending troops to fight is the most important thing to be famous, and being nameless will lose the hearts of the people. Yuan Shao made a document to beg Ma Shao beforehand, which listed Ma Chao's various crimes, the purpose of which was to hit Ma Chao's prestige in the north and let everyone in the world know that he Yuan Shao was the teacher of justice.

And Ma Chao refused to show weakness, and the purpose of the edict of the thief also hit Yuan Shao's prestige, emphasizing that he was a teacher of justice, and as for who was right and who was wrong, the people of the world had their own opinions. But Ma Chao's propaganda strength is not comparable to Yuan Shao, he handed over this edict to Chen Lin, let the engraving print, and printed 200,000 copies in less than two days.

Not only that, Ma Chao also personally drafted a letter to the people of the world, announcing all kinds of policies for the benefit of the people in the northern land to the world. It also publicized some unfavorable things for Yuan Shao and others, such as Cao Ying's killing of Lu Bohao's family, Yuan Shao's forcible seizure of Yangzhou, and other remarks that were not conducive to the princes of all walks of life. These things are printed on the front and back of a piece of paper, and there is a jade seal seal of the country, named the first issue of the Han Quarterly Report, and the influence produced is by no means comparable to Yuan Shao's text.

Subsequently, Ma Chao made full use of the caravans of the Wei family, the Zhen family and the Mi family, as well as the retired veterans to be responsible for the propaganda work. This time, Ma Chao not only vigorously publicized the three-point grain system and the military salary system, but also revealed some of the educational work that had been prepared, and the leaflets themselves were printed on paper, which made people have to believe it!

And the announcement of the military salary system is a heavy blow to the princes from all walks of life, where do they have any military salaries, they can eat well, it is already good, and if they die, they will die in vain, compared with the soldiers under Ma Chao, it is simply a heaven, an underground, there is no comparable surname.

After the soldiers under the command of Yuan Shao and others learned of this, the army's heart was suddenly unstable, and they also charged into battle, not to mention that they had served in vain, and there was no half guarantee. People are also charging into battle, not to mention having money to be taken while alive, armed to the teeth, and even if they die, they have high pensions to settle their families.

The more powerful Ma Chao's leaflet was very inflammatory, vigorously attacking the evils of the powerful family annexing land and exploiting domestic slaves, and expounded the determination to consistently suppress the powerful landlords and abolish the slavery system. For the princes from all walks of life, Ma Chao also criticized with fierce rhetoric, they co-opted the powerful and exploited the people, resulting in the people's misery, and now they are causing military disasters for their own selfishness, and they have made hundreds of people homeless, no land to cultivate, and no food to cook.

In the end, Ma Chao solemnly promised that all the people of the Han Dynasty, whether ordinary people or family slaves, as long as they are willing to come to the north and work hard, will be properly settled. The people and slaves who stayed in their hometowns, as long as they did not help the abuse, did not oppose Ma Chao's counterinsurgency army, and after the unification of the world and the unification of the whole country, they could enjoy the policies of the north today.

When Yuan Shao and others dispatched troops and sent troops to fight for horses, these leaflets of Ma Chao had already been secretly spread in the Han Dynasty. This leaflet was written by Ma Chao himself in regular script, and the workers rubbed it down to make printing plates, completely maintaining the original flavor. Although most of the people are illiterate, they are not illiterate, and as long as someone is literate, the news will naturally be transmitted.

Sure enough, in less than half a month, the world shook, and the people in the north were just right, after seeing Ma Chao's various measures, they had long been accustomed to it, but the people in the south were completely boiling, and there were many homeless young and strong homeless people and family slaves who fled to Jizhou, Bingzhou and Sili, and Guanzhong.

The most ruthless is Ma Chao's psychological offensive, he has the Son of Heaven and the court in hand, and he has never done anything wrong to the people of the world, and his reputation among the people is extremely high. This time, in the name of the Son of Heaven, he directly put a hat of anti-thief on Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and others. And in the territory of the Han Dynasty, it was hyped that on the battlefield, if the officers and generals could lead the army to surrender, they would be rewarded and protected by the imperial court and reused. Regardless of their origins, those who surrendered on their own initiative could be incorporated into the army or to civilians in the north, and land was distributed to solve the problem of wives.

Those who resist will be killed, and their immediate family members will be reduced to slaves and will be forced to die of exhaustion! Women who were able to have children were given to the bachelors in the camps to start a new family. The old and weak are directly punished as anti-thieves, and they should be beheaded according to the law of the Han Dynasty, and they will not be tolerated. (To be continued.) )
