In the hall of the new rest, everyone fixed their eyes on Liu Chan.

Facing the scorching eyes of everyone that seemed to be condensed into substance, the corners of Liu Chan's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said very easily: "The harsh law, even if it can be suppressed for a while, it can't be suppressed for a lifetime, and when the Wei army is really overwhelmed, the people of Runan will not be used by us, and they will be defeated!" ”

With a sigh of relief, Liu Chan looked around at the people in the hall and asked, "Why is there chaos in the city?" Spread these rumors? ”

How did this rumor come about?

Liu Chan asked this question, which made everyone in the hall ponder.

No wind, no waves.

The news that the main force of the Wei army was about to arrive in Runan, they also learned not long ago, according to common sense, it was impossible for the people in the city to know the news so early.

It's a ghost made by Wei Guo!

Guan Xing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness means that Wei Guoxiao has spread rumors. ”

Liu Chan nodded heavily and said: "There are countless ministers in the Wei army, and they have indeed caught the pain point of our Han army, and they have plundered Runan before, leaving a very bad impression on the people of Runan, and we have not a stable foothold in Runan, people's hearts are uncertain, and rumors are spreading, if we make another unpopular move, then the Wei army can retake Runan without much effort, this plan is a poisonous plan!" ”

Liu Chan snorted coldly, he grasped the people's hearts so accurately, I am afraid that it is the strategy of the poisoner Jia Xu.

Of course...

Maybe it's Sima Yi's.

This person is very grudgeful, and when he heard that the monarchs and ministers of Wei were discussing whether to attack Runan or Jiangdong, this guy strongly advocated attacking Runan.

As for it?

It's just that he told the story of the three-horse trough in front of Boss Cao.

"If it is a poisonous plan, then the poisonous plan of the Wei State has been completed, what plan does His Highness have, can he break his plan?"

Zhang Bao knew that if it was according to what he envisioned, it would be directly under the plan of the Wei State.

But if you don't have to be harsh, what kind of method should you use?

He scratched his ears and cheeks, and for a moment he couldn't find a way to deal with it.

"The bell must be tied to the bell."

Uncle Zong Hui's eyes lit up.

"What does Your Highness mean by dispelling rumors? It's just that... How do you get started? ”

Liu Chan sat in the main seat of the meeting hall, his gaze firm and calm.

"It's easy."

Seeing everyone's curious looks, Liu Chan continued: "We can catch the Wei spies in the city, cut off the source of Wei's rumors, and at the same time, let some rangers, beggars, gangsters and others spread news that stabilizes people's hearts.

For example, Zang Ba has regrouped troops in Xuzhou, Jiangdong is about to capture Hefei, and it is difficult for the main force of the Wei army to reach Runan, etc.

In this way, we can turn the mood in the city through rumors and regain confidence in Runan. ”

There was a brief silence in the hall.

Everyone was thinking about Liu Chan's words, and gradually realized the rationality of his ideas.

Using public opinion to counter rumors may be more effective than simply punishing them severely.

After all, rumors often spread by word of mouth, and if they can be stopped at the source, they can be curbed.

Fei Yi couldn't help but step forward and said, "What His Highness said is quite reasonable. If we can stabilize the people's hearts through public opinion, pull another batch, fight a batch, and play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, then the hearts of the people in Runan will be stabilized. ”

Fei Yi has followed Liu Chan for many years, and he almost already knows Liu Chan's routines.

In the case that the rumors will no longer spread and the hearts of the people in the city will be stabilized, it is necessary to win over a group of henchmen, give them benefits, let them support the Han army, and then kill a group of people who protect Wei Guo's fine work, or directly Wei State fine work, to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys.

Under the multi-pronged approach of various policies to appease the people, Wei's poisonous plan this time will not have any good effect.

"What Wen Wei said is extremely true."

Liu Chan smiled slightly, he knew that his idea had been recognized by some people.

"And we can also use rangers, beggars, and gangsters to spread rumors that can be debunked.

For example, the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, is dead, the imprisoned people have been slaughtered by the Han army, and tomorrow the Han army will slaughter the city... Such outrageous rumors. ”

As soon as Liu Chan's words came out, it was Pang De, and some of the second monks were confused.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you want to dispel the rumors? Why did you still help Wei spread rumors? ”

Dong Yun pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"This is one of the ways for His Highness to dispel rumors, His Highness spreads rumors that are easy to debunk, and after the people find out that these rumors are false, they naturally suspect it, and after several times, the people naturally don't believe these rumors."

"Hugh Zhao is very right."

The way to defeat rumors is to create even more outrageous rumors.

When the people doubted the truth of the matter, the real became false.

In the era of the big explosion of knowledge in later generations, when a sensitive hot event comes out, a certain traffic star will soon come out to attract heat and divert attention.

For example: Yes, I have a child.

When Liu Chan was creating rumors, he was also diverting the attention of the people.

For the play of people's hearts and the guidance of public opinion, Liu Chan is too familiar.

"If His Highness uses this plan, then the poisonous plan of the Wei State will be eliminated invisibly."

In this way, perhaps only His Highness can come up with it.

Fei Yi sighed in his heart.

He followed Liu Chan for nearly a year and learned much more and more vividly than what he learned in books.

Maybe...

Is this a born saint?

His Royal Highness has dragon energy, and he really didn't say it.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"This is a very good plan, I admire it!"

...

All of a sudden, the rainbow farts of the ministers in the hall were constantly attacking Liu Chan.

The power of public opinion is enormous, and as long as it can be guided in the right way, it can influence people's thoughts and emotions.

Moreover, this method can also stabilize the situation in the city and maintain the peace of Runan without causing too much harm to the innocent.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Chan left Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Zong Huishu, and Pang De behind.

"Your Highness, I don't know what else to discuss?"

Zhang Bao's eyes look at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart.

These people left by His Royal Highness, the Yuancong faction, the Yizhou faction, the Jingzhou faction, and the general faction, all have them.

It can be said that he knows the humerus of his cronies in Liu Chan's hands, and if he keeps them down, there must be something important to order.

"I want to ask you how to solve the problem of the people of Runan not attaching to it, or how to accept the Runan Shi clan."

How to collect your heart?

Everyone was stunned.

It's a complicated question.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Chan looked at Fei Yi and asked, "How did you complete the task of raising food that I gave you?" ”

Fei Yi had a bitter look on his face, shook his head, and said: "The local scholars have resistance to outsiders, and there were some before, but in recent days, they have not been able to raise grain and grass at all. ”

Liu Chan did not blame Fei Yi, but said: "This raising of grain and grass, you can see the attitude of the Runan Shi clan towards us, you can imagine it, when I wait for grain in Jingzhou, is it so difficult?" ”

Jingzhou?

Guan Xing understood it and said: "On that day in Jingzhou, the warriors enthusiastically donated grain, and the grain and grass were worry-free, so that our army could defeat the Wei army several times and get the land of Jingzhou Quanzhou. ”

Although it is borrowing grain, at least people are willing to lend you grain and grass, right?

"The same is true of the Nanyang Shi clan, why are they willing to borrow grain and offer food, but the Runan Shi clan is unwilling? Have you ever thought about this? ”

Seeing that Liu Chan was going to test them, Fei Yi and the others also had the heart to win.

Your Highness, although you are resourceful, I am not a fool who knows nothing!

"The reason why the Runan Shi clan is unwilling to offer grain and borrow grain is that they don't trust His Royal Highness, Runan is an important place in Wei, and Cao Pi, the king of Wei, led hundreds of thousands of troops, and now it is not far from Runan, and the Runan Shi clan does not believe that His Highness can take Runan steadily, so they are unwilling to take refuge."

Fei Yi talked eloquently, and Liu Chan also nodded on the side.

The family is a grass on the wall, and it is clear that in Runan, Liu Chan's prospects are not optimistic about them.

"Of course, His Highness's previous act of plundering Runan also made the Runan Shi clan dare not trust His Highness easily."

"There is another big reason, I have to wait for a new breath, but it is just a sneak attack, when I entered Runan, there was no dignified victory, and the Runan Shi clan did not know the strength of our army."

Dong Yun added a sentence on the side.

The sneak attack on the city is indeed the smallest.

But it also made the Runan Shi clan unable to see the strength of the Han army.

Why did the Nanyang Shi clan support Liu Chan?

In Nanyang, Liu Chan has won several big victories!

The family knew Liu Chan's ability, so they were willing to gamble with Liu Chan.

But now, the scholars of Runan do not dare to bet easily.

"If His Highness can defeat the main army of Wei, then the Runan Shi clan will definitely be submitted!"

After thinking about the details, Zhang Bao also stepped forward to say.

"Your Highness, if we wait for the vanguard of the Wei army to arrive, we will attack first and fight a fierce victory, in this case, this Runan Shi clan should also know our strength, and will be obedient, then the worries of food and grass, and the troubles of the people's hearts will be solved!"

It's just that...

Without the support of the Runan Shi clan, what will you do to fight the main force of the Wei army?

Do you really think that my Liu Gonghei will be hanging?

Seeing that Liu Chan had not yet spoken, Zhang Bao took another step forward, immediately knelt in front of Liu Chan, and said: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer and solve the worries of His Highness!" ”

"What if you lose?"

How?

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks were bloodshot and red, and he almost said in a shouting tone: "Your Highness, the last general is willing to make a military order." ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "I'm not asking about you, but about myself." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Bao was stunned, he didn't know how to vent this emotion that was brewing so hard.

"Hahaha~"

Guan Xing held back a laugh on the side, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness has a clever plan, why use you to take risks?"

"What do you kid know?"

Regarding Xingming's kick, Zhang Bao stood up as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Your Highness really has a plan?" ”

Liu Chan did not directly answer Zhang Bao's question, but threw out another question to everyone.

"Let me ask you, the Runan Shi clan, how are you doing in the Wei court?"

How's it going?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood something.

"Nowadays, in the court of the Wei State, there are almost no important ministers from the Runan Shi clan."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter the palace and occupied the power that originally belonged to the Son of Heaven, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the powerful in other places, and at the same time made the powerful in other places see a glimmer of "hope".

So there was an incident of the princes' alliance attacking Dong Zhuo, in the princes' coalition army, Yuan Shao from Runan Yuan was the backbone of the princes' coalition army, because of various factors, Dong Zhuo and Yuan "parted ways", the Runan forces carried out a very brutal suppression, this suppression largely hurt the foundation of Runan.

After Dong Zhuo was eliminated, Cao Cao rose to prominence and became one of the most powerful princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In order to expand his power, Cao Cao began to fight in various places, including the famous Battle of Guandu in history.

Although Cao Cao's power before the war was not as good as Yuan Shao, who was born in Runan, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and completely unified the northern region with a surprise attack.

In order to ensure that the Yuan clan did not resurgitate in Runan, and at the same time to eliminate the Runan forces that had originally favored the Yuan clan, Cao Cao also carried out a brutal suppression of the Runan region.

This suppression was relatively more thorough than Dong Zhuo's, Cao Cao extended the spearhead to a number of Runan big families, including the Yuan family, and a large number of talents in Runan began to be forced to move, at this time Runan had already suffered a lot of blows, and directly affected the talent output of the entire Runan.

Xu Jing, Chen Zhi, Chen Yi, Zhang Tong in Shu; Hu Zong, Lü Fan, Lü Meng, and Chen Hua were in Wu, and they never returned to their homeland.

A small number of Runan scholars who were not attached to the Yuan brothers, such as Meng Jian, who traveled to Jingzhou with Zhuge Liang, did not make full use of them after returning to their hometown.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he heard about the situation of the eunuchs of the old friends in the Wei State, and there was a sigh of "Wei Shu Duoshi evil".

In addition to the two repressions, Xun Yu's influence on the Runan region was also very large, and after the Battle of Guandu, the Runan region had entered Cao Cao's territory, due to Yuan's prejudice against Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao has a prejudice against the Runan region, and this prejudice also affects the subsequent Cao Wei Group's talent mining in the Runan region.

To a certain extent, the Cao Wei group retained the policies of the Eastern Han Dynasty, including talent selection, because Cao Cao was fond of using Hanmen scholars (in order to resist the gate lord clan), so Cao Cao often asked his subordinates to recommend talents for him, and many talents in Cao Cao's camp came from the strategist Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan Xun, Yingchuan and Runan are similar, so Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu to recommend Ru Ying talents many times.

But on the one hand, Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan, and on the other hand, Xun Yu also took into account the estrangement between Runan and Cao Cao, so almost all the recommended talents came from the Yingchuan area.

The talents of Runan were basically all buried, and the channels for upward promotion were lost, which became the fuse for the complete loneliness of Runan.

If a family or a region wants to grow, there must be a prerequisite: to be a leader.

It includes two systems, civil officials and military generals, which means that there must be enough power to bless future generations in order for a region to develop rapidly, and the best representative of them is the Xiahou family.

Although Cao Cao is not surnamed Xiahou, after all, he comes from the Xiahou family, so after Cao Cao gained power, he vigorously used the talents of the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family and the surrounding areas developed rapidly, and more talents emerged.

In the same way, the emergence of talents in the Runan region is inseparable from the influence of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, after all, before the emergence of the imperial examination system, the only way to promote talents was "recommendation".

Therefore, after the fall of the Yuan family and the rise of Cao Cao, the entire Runan fell into a very embarrassing situation: no one came out, which not only directly limited the growth of the large family and the Hanmen in Runan, but also limited the growth of Runan talents.

This was a devastating blow to the entire Runan region, which meant that no one could provide an environment for the Runan region to breed enough talent, and at the same time, the people of Runan had to make a choice: continue to wait or go away.

Some waited, and some left.

Those who are waiting are not having a good time in Wei, how much loyalty do you expect them to have to Wei?

"What does Your Highness mean that the Runan Shi clan can fight for?"

Liu Chan nodded.

"Of course you can fight for it, but you need to find a breakthrough."

Whether to be Cao Wei's dog, or to be a minister of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chan thought, this choice, they are easy to make.

But...

How do you let them know what they want?
