Chapter 507: Public Opinion
The two found a window seat on the second floor of the restaurant and sat down. Xiao Er asked the two of them what they wanted, Zhang Lang asked for a pot of rice wine and a few snacks to accompany the wine, Xiao Er said later, and then went to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Lang glanced at the restaurant and saw that there were six or seven percent of the guests sitting in the restaurant, and a table of guests not far away was discussing the current situation. The young man in the green robe sighed and said, "I didn't expect it! Prime Minister Cao Cheng died suddenly! Then came the Great War! First of all, the army of the eldest prince marched westward, and before everyone could come back to the senses, the army of the western expedition was actually wiped out, and then Lu Bu's army came! â
The white-robed middle-aged man next to him sighed: "It's not surprising that the call came, the eldest son beat the adult's family, isn't it still allowed for people to call?" It is strange that the general took Xuchang overnight, and that night I heard that the eldest prince was almost caught by the general, and finally escaped! â
A young man in a purple robe sitting next to the white-robed man said, "If you want to say something strange, you have to talk about Liu Bei Guan Yu's assassination of the prime minister." Do you think these two people got into the water in their brains and actually ran to assassinate the prime minister? It's a big mess in the world, and everyone can't live in peace! â
The young man in the green robe snorted coldly, "These people want to achieve great things in their dreams!" It's not surprising that I'm plotting to assassinate him! â
The white-robed middle-aged man waved his hand, "You all said it wrong!" I've heard that it's not like that at all! The one who killed the prime minister was the eldest prince! Liu Bei Guan Yu is just a scapegoat! â
The two young men were taken aback, and the purple-robed young man said in disbelief: "How is this possible?" How could the eldest prince kill his own father? Isn't this a beast? â
The white-robed middle-aged man said: "I heard this news from those soldiers who surrendered to the general. I think this news is true nine times out of ten! Think about it, what did Liu Bei Guan Yu get when he went to assassinate the prime minister? The family is ruined, and the world is dead! Who is the biggest beneficiary of this? Big Prince! Intrigues and tricks have been obscure since ancient times, and to judge who planned the conspiracy, we only need to see who is the biggest beneficiary afterwards! Therefore, I think that nine times out of ten, the eldest prince killed his father in order to seize power, and later framed Liu Bei Guan Yu for this matter! There is one more thing that can support my point, General Dian Wei believes that you all know it, right? That is a loyal, brave and honest man, loyal to the prime minister, no one can compare with him! However, such a loyal and brave general actually surrendered to the general, what do you say this means? â
The two young men nodded thoughtfully, and the young man in the green robe said, "Listening to Brother Zhao's words, it seems that this is really the case!" Frowning, he still said in disbelief: "But, how could the eldest prince kill his father?" â
The purple-robed young man pursed his lips, "What's so strange about this?" From ancient times to the present, are there still few examples of killing fathers and seizing the throne? The young man in the green robe felt that he was right.
The three of them drank and chatted.
Dong Ying smiled and said to Zhang Lang: "Big brother, your plan has succeeded. The people were suspicious of Cao Pi. â
Zhang Lang smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup, "This is not my strategy, this is Wenhe's strategy." In fact, there are many doubts about this matter, as long as the real situation is disseminated, people with a little brains can get a correct judgment. This is just the first step in Wenhe's strategy. â
Dong Ying asked curiously: "Then what is the second and third step strategy?" â
Zhang Lang smiled: "You'll know when the time comes." â
Dong Ying glanced at Zhang Lang, "It's time to sell Guanzi!" â
At this time, Xiao Er trotted over with a food plate, put two pairs of side plates and dishes, a pot of wine and a few side dishes, said slowly, and went to greet the other guests.
Dong Ying stood up, picked up the wine jug and poured a full bowl for Zhang Lang, then poured a bowl for herself and sat down.
Zhang Lang picked up the wine bowl and smiled at Dong Ying: "Yingying, I heard that you went to the City God Temple outside the city a few days ago to pray for God, hoping to give birth to a big fat boy for me......" Dong Ying's cheeks were red, and she said angrily: "Is it the one who came to you to chew the root of the tongue?" Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Big brother wishes you all the best with this bowl of wine!" Dong Ying wrinkled her nose, touched the wine bowl with Zhang Lang, raised her head and took a sip, she looked very bold, and the female man was full of temperament. Zhang Lang smiled and dried the wine in one gulp.
Dong Ying put down the wine bowl, glanced at Zhang Lang, and said resentfully: "What's the use of just wishing?" You'll have to work hard! Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Anyway, there is nothing to do these days, we will do things well every night!" Dong Ying nodded seriously.
At this time, the words of two civilians at a table next to them reached the ears of the two of them. The older one said gratefully: "I didn't expect that as soon as the general came, he was exempted from so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and we finally saw the light of day!" He turned his head to the young man next to him and said, "Niu'er, before this year, my father asked you for a daughter-in-law." The young man nodded excitedly, and said with a look of longing: "I hope the general will stay here forever!" The older nodded approvingly.
Dong Ying's beautiful eyes glanced at Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "I see, those ordinary people are going to set up a tablet for you!" â
Zhang Lang smiled.

Zhang Lang and Dong Ying returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he returned, the guard who guarded the door came up to report: "Mr. Jia Xu has just come to find the general, and he looks very anxious. â
Zhang Lang looked into the hall and saw Jia Xu, dressed as a scribe, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Lang strode into the hall and shouted, "Wenhe." Dong Ying didn't follow up, she went to the back to change her clothes.
Jia Xu hurriedly looked at the door, saw Zhang Lang, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Lord! â
Zhang Lang walked up to the top and sat down, and asked, "Wenhe, you seem to be in a hurry?" â
Jia Xu clenched his fists and said: "I just received a report from the scouts in front that 700,000 Cao troops have gathered near Dongjun, and there is a great tendency to advance westward. Another 100,000 Cao troops went south to Yuzhou to support! â
Zhang Lang frowned and said, "It's faster than expected!" Smiled, "It's nothing, it's all expected, come on." Although our troops are smaller, we can still deal with his 700,000 soldiers and horses! Glancing at Jia Xu, "Just follow the plan, defend first, consume their sharpness, and then counterattack!" If you follow the words, maybe this battle can completely beat Cao Pi down! I'm afraid I won't be able to use the text and the many strategies you've made! â
Jia Xu frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't be so smooth!" The reason why Cao's army was defeated before was half because Cao Pi, the new lord, carelessly underestimated the enemy, and half because we had a very fatal inner line. And now, these favorable conditions no longer exist zĂ i! â
