Chapter 149: Rumor-Spreading Techniques
Ma Tan didn't know that his old acquaintance, Han Guo Uncle Mi Fang, had come to Jingnan. If he knew, he would definitely throw everything away, and without saying a word, he would take someone to the police to smoke him.
After all, in Ma Yan's opinion, Mi Fang's thing is more hateful than Lu Xun.
But unfortunately, Ma Jian didn't know that he was still busy appeasing the barbarians. For a month, my life has been a cycle of recruiting barbarians, soothing barbarians, and fighting barbarians.
However, the result was good, at least except for the Wuxi barbarians, the rest of the Wuling barbarians also responded. A large number of barbarian tribes sent letters to Ma Tan, expressing their willingness to jointly resist Eastern Wu.
This matter is not only Ma Yan's ability, but also Sun Quan's assistance.
The barbarians in Jingzhou are also people, and they didn't want to fight with Dongwu at first. When Liu Bei ruled Jingnan back then, he had a good relationship with these barbarians.
But since Sun Quan became the lord of Jingzhou, everything has changed.
Soochow has always had a violent attitude towards barbarians, and there is no strategy of appeasement at all. Under Sun Quan's instructions, Cao Wei's Eastern Wu soldiers and horses, who had been suffering losses, ravaged this group of barbarians in various ways.
The result was very good, and the barbarians of Jingnan hated these Jiangdong people very much.
Ma Tan's solicitation soon stirred up the emotions of the entire barbarian clan in Wuling. The barbarians not only sent troops to Yidao to support the Han army in fighting Eastern Wu, but also many barbarians came to join Ma Jian alone.
In just over a month, Ma Jian gathered nearly 1,000 barbarian soldiers, and his troops expanded to 4,000 people.
"General Ma! Tomorrow I will lead the troops to Yidao, and today I would like to invite the general to have another drink! Shamoqi gathered the barbarian soldiers and officially prepared to go out of the mountain to Yidao. Before leaving, he found Ma Jian again, hoping to have a relationship with the Han general.
Although he doesn't plan to go to Yizhou now, he still wants to continue to be his barbarian king in Wuling. But the relationship with Dolara is not a bad thing, one more friend and one more care.
For the barbarian king to take the initiative to come up, Ma Jian did not refuse. The Wuxi barbarians are still the strongest supporters of Shu Han in Jingnan, and they can still be appeased.
Shamoqi dragged Ma Tan to a feast and found several young women from the tribe to dance and cheer up. If General Ma takes a fancy to that, Sha Moqi will definitely send it to Ma Yan's bedroom that night.
However, Ma Jian didn't have any thoughts about this at all, just chatting casually with Sha Moqi.
"King Shaman, last year I worked in Chengdu Siwen Cao, and I heard that there were a lot of intelligence officers in Eastern Wu, I don't know if you are interested?" After three rounds of drinking, Ma Jian suddenly said with a smile, with a somewhat inexplicable tone in his words.
As soon as they heard this, Ma Tan's guards all tilted their heads, and they all pricked up their ears in this direction.
Once Ma Tan speaks in this tone, it means that he will start making up small stories again. At the beginning, General Ma was under Chen Cangcheng, but he made up a set of logical and self-consistent stories after the rain for Hao Zhao.
The story can be described as hearty, not to mention Ma Yan's personal guards, even Hao Zhao's soldiers listen to it every day.
"Isn't this a major event for military aircraft, is General Youchang willing to say it to so-and-so?" Sha Moqi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"It's not a big military incident, it's just some anecdotes." Ma Tan smiled slightly, pointed in the direction of Jianye, and said with a smile.
"I heard that during the puppet Wei and Wu, Lu Xun led his troops to be stationed in the Wuxu Dock to defend."
One night, Lu Xun personally inspected the barracks, and heard a pawn secretly scolding: "That bastard who fights the most wasteful war!" "Lu Xun was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the pawn to ask for the crime, saying that he insulted Wu Hou behind his back."
The pawn was not convinced, and defended: "I didn't say who it was at all, why should I be punished!" I'm not scolding the Supreme at all! ””
Who knew that Lu Xun was furious, and said viciously: "Don't quibble, don't I know who is the most wasteful in the entire Eastern Wu?" ””
"Poof!"
For a while, the tribal elders and leaders present all burst out with a sip of wine and laughter.
"Hahahaha...... is worthy of being the governor of Sun Boyan. ”
"This rebuttal is indeed reasonable!"
"If I were such a pawn, I am afraid I would have to bow my head and confess my guilt."
"Then Lu Xun arrested this pawn and questioned him, and he was beheaded for 20 insults to the king, on the grounds that he had betrayed important information about Eastern Wu." Ma Jian then added with a calm face, laughing for a while, and even the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Then Ma Jian began to continue to talk about many things, basically two or three things about Lu Xun and Sun Quan.
For example, Sun Quan's killing of the Lu family was suggested by Lu Xun on the grounds that the head of the Lu family had revealed to him his dissatisfaction with Sun Quan.
Another example is that Lu Xun is a shameless person, in the past, Guan Erye was very optimistic about him, and once wrote a letter to make friends with Lu Xun. As a result, Lu Xun took this opportunity to deceive Guan Yu and instructed Lü Meng to take Jiangling.
Later, he was worried that Lü Meng would block his way, so he sent someone to plot against Lü Meng.
In such a variety of stories, basically the protagonists are all Lu Xun and Sun Quan. And Ma Jian doesn't directly say how they are, just tell it as a small story.
After listening to the information revealed by Ma Tan, even the barbarian leaders present felt that Lu Xun was really not human.
We barbarians still know how to be good to our friends, but I didn't expect this Lu Xun to be such a sinister and shameless bastard behind his back.
"This Lu Xun is really a shameless villain." The barbarian king Sha Moqi sighed and couldn't help but reprimand Lu Xun for being an inappropriate person.
"It's just some Jiangdong rumors, and they can't be true." Ma Tan smiled, pretending to add such a sentence unintentionally.
If you want to spread the rumor, you must first have the rumor itself attractive enough. Only if the rumor is interesting enough that you want to gossip with friends and family when you are bored, so that the rumor can spread quickly on its own.
At this time, it is fueling the flames in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In this era, Confucianism has spread widely, and the concepts of filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty have been widely known. The most ugly thing about scolding people is to scold a person for being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust.
Therefore, in response to these points, Ma Tan specially compiled all kinds of stories for Lu Xun and Sun Quan.
For example, Lu Xun is the illegitimate son of the Sun family, and he looks down on Sun Quan for fighting behind his back, and he is inconsiderate of the soldiers and likes to deceive others......
When these stories spread all over Jingnan and became popular, everyone would have a final conclusion about what kind of person Lu Xun was.
The three of them become tigers, not to mention that there are more than three or four people who don't like you Lu Xun in Dongwu!
Just when Ma Tan was drinking happily with the Wuxi Barbarian King, he suddenly saw Liu Yin hurrying in. As soon as he saw Ma Tan, Liu Yin immediately handed a letter to Ma Tan
"General, the former Changsha Taishou Han Xuan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he must hand it over to you personally."
"Changsha guards Han Xuan?" Ma Jian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What did he send someone to me for?"
