Section 121

It seemed so natural in Shouchun City. There was nowhere to be seen that such a saying began to be popular. No matter who it was, merchants, "pseudo-emperor" officials, civilians or soldiers, as long as they could get the head of the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, they would be rewarded with a reward of 100,000, and a magistrate of the vassal and 800 more.

In the pile of porters by the small bridge, at the tea table in the restaurant, or at the tables after a meal in the family, everyone spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, and countless pairs of bright or greedy eyes were flashing with hopeful eyes.

Even some of the "ministers" and the "general" family members around Yuan Shu heard this statement. Ji Ling, who was named "general", "meeted" the emperor overnight without waiting for the morning court the next day, telling the news that the entire Shouchun City was almost spread.

"Hateful! Which villain actually came up with such a vicious idea! Dare to make me think!" Yuan Shu had a brand new bright yellow imperial uniform, wearing a crown on his head, and worries-free shoes on his feet. The hanging bead curtain on the crown covered the back face well, making his head, which was as thin as a bun, actually had a bit of imperial spirit.

This is the effect of people relying on clothes.

At night, there were only a few eunuchs who had become the eunuch in charge of the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter must be related to Yan, Xu, and Jingzhou. The purpose is to make us riots in Chen. I suggest that it is better to use thunder to make a move. Those who spread rumors will die. See if those little ones can still hide it! I guess these rumors must be scattered by the enemy's spies sent to Shouchun. As long as you follow the clues, you will naturally find these people, and the world will naturally be peaceful!"

"Well, the general is indeed far-sighted. I will issue an order now. The general will supervise this matter personally. It is necessary to find out the person behind the scenes and see who is against me!"

Yuan Shu thought that wearing a dragon robe would be the emperor, and the pearl curtain in front of the crown was shook. The pleasant sound of pearls colliding, Yuan Shu found that he liked this tone more and more.

Seeing his "general" receiving the order to thank him, he walked out of the palace gate with a dragon step, Yuan Shu patted two five-clawed golden dragons carved vividly on the armrest of the dragon chair with satisfaction. The specifications of the dragon chair were quite wide, and Yuan Shu was thin and could not hold his hands on both armrests at the same time. He could only move his butt left and right again. The two "palace maids" holding big fans couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When it was early that night, the people who had already fallen asleep suddenly rushed into the house of the people who were already asleep and were unsheathed. The "Imperial Guards" with bows raised up the people who were sleeping one by one. Anyone who was suspected of spreading rumors was locked with iron chains and was taken away as "treason". Those who were smart and had some wealth were busy holding a bunch of copper or valuables, or they could avoid death. The poor family could only whine to complain.

The convicted people were intimidated and tortured, and asked who the source of the news was, so more irrelevant people were implicated. The people in Shouchun City only heard the constant voices of people, horses, chickens and dogs, and sometimes cried and begged for mercy incessantly. It was not until dawn that they gradually calmed down.

The next day, more than a thousand "rebellion" had just soaked lime and pickled heads on the city gate.

But Ji Ling knew in his heart that this was just a killing chicken to warn the monkey, and the real spreading rumors was not found at all. And those "culprits" pointed to by many and a large number of clues were simply a genuine Shouchun native, who had no relationship with Yan, Xu, Jing, and Jiangdong!

Although the people were scared by this move and no one dared to talk about this matter again, Ji Ling knew that if the enemy was so clever in spreading rumors, he would not even know who would do it, there would definitely be some more details in the matter later.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, Cao Cao from Yanzhou sent people to issue manifestos everywhere in Yuan Shu's Yangzhou and other places, placing orders to fight against Yuan. The manifesto was written in a clear text and presented Yuan Shu's reward with his own hands, which was exactly the same as the rumors a few days ago!

Now, Yuan Shu could no longer sit on the newly built dragon chaise, as if there were nails on it or hemorrhoids. He looked at every eunuch, palace maids around him who smiled charmingly at him all day long, including the ministers who had always trusted the most.

Under such rewards, Yuan Shu suspected that his own son would be eyeing his head, as if he had never even ascended the throne to reward his subordinates.

Yuan Shu is famous for his stinginess and is almost the same as Cao Hong.

Not to mention that Yuan Shu was feeling uncomfortable in Shouchun, Zhang Feng, who was full of colorful intestines, gave Cao Cao many suggestions to disturb the people. Lao Cao adopted them one by one and notified Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong that all the forces went deep into every county under Yuan Shu almost overnight. A large number of leaflets began to be posted in front of the restaurant. After the house, the county magistrate under Yuan Shu was unable to guard against and could not catch them. Every prison was full of people, crowded like canned sardines, and most of the real spies were still free outside.

"A million coalition forces are about to join forces to annihilate the pseudo-Emperor Yuan Shu! The army hopes that everyone will present the city early so as not to break the city, and both good and bad jade will be burned!"

God knows if there are 200,000 coalition troops this time. Jingzhou and Jiangdong Sun Ce have a grudge against him to kill his father. Even if the bird of Yuan Shu is temporarily together, once Yuan Shu is destroyed, it will definitely be a fire again. How could they do their best to fight against Yuan? They should be wary of each other stabbing him in the back?

The conflict between Xu in Yanzhou has been a long history. Tao Qian had been helping Yuan Shu to beat Cao Cao before, and almost destroyed the old Cao and his fat lady concubine. They didn't like each other. If Yuan Shu hadn't forced himself to jump out and become emperor and forced to attract the attention of the world, he might have really lived longer than Tao Qian.

In this case, even the Yanya guarded by Lu Bu must have been defending Yanzhou than Sichuan. How could he send all his troops to suppress Yuan?

Cao Cao knew this, Liu Biao, Tao Qian and Sun Ce knew this, but ordinary people didn't know it. They really thought that this time the Huzhu War would reappear and have a yesterdayoncemore. Many people secretly prepared to have a few wealth, and fled to Yan, Jing, Jiangdong and Tao Qian respectively, and many people knew that Xu, Yan would have another battle, but it was just a matter of time.

Running to Xuzhou is not from Somalia to Iraq? Where is it not a place of war?

"All the people who joined Yanzhou before the war, regardless of whether they committed crimes before, would be distributed to civilians and would be exempted from land for three years."

Here, the people in the Jing and Xu land all took their families to speak awkward Yangzhou dialect, pretending to be refugees from Yangzhou, making a fortune like Cao Cao, who seemed to be surrenders.

And Xu and Jing ate the plan to remove the firewood from the cauldron here, so they should not be too loud. They swallowed their anger. After all, the war is imminent and there is no time to cause trouble for this little thing again.

Even if he wants to cause trouble, he has to think about the consequences. Zhang Feng has already prepared a series of measures. If these two states really let Yuan Shu ignore him and turn to Cao Cao's trouble, he will definitely receive rebuke from Liu Xie for "disregarding the world's justice without regard for the country and the country without regard for it, and only personal grudges."

Besides, the "loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty" whom I have always praised, and the "people who defended the Liu family's throne" have been exposed?

Even Liu Biao started to make the idea of ​​offering the emperor. This emperor is so easy to use. He hits wherever he points, and it is simply a global satellite positioning system.

Cao Cao didn't care about land. He made a fortune by business, not by land, but by collecting rent. He could pay as much as the official land he had. As long as he could ensure the normal cost of the army, he would buy it. Anyway, the Zhen family and the Mi family are now red-topped merchants. Who dares not to sell it? Or sell it at a high price? It would probably be deducted a big shit pot of "making a fortune in the national crisis" and "digging the corners of feudalism".

Liu Biao and Tao Qian are different. They are the regular landlord class. What does it cost to make a living without rent? Although a large amount of land is in their own hands, there are no people with such land. They can't roll up their sleeves to farm, right? Besides, their land rent is so high that it is too unprofitable for them to grow by their own people.

Faced with the massive political offensive, Yuan Shu did not have the knowledge or ideas of Zhang Feng? He could only obey Prime Minister Yan Xiang and ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, not allowed to leave, for fear that everyone would run away before the war.

It is true that not many people fled the border every day and entered Yuzhou, but the conflicts that followed became increasingly acute. If the people did not go out, could they still grow food on their own roofs? Although Yuan Shu's own army in Shouchun City had enough food, they could not control ordinary people?

As soon as the local spies were instigated, the people began to rob grain one after another, killing the soldiers guarding the Guan Cang and looting the accumulated rice. This made Yuan Shu even more anxious. Without the coalition forces, he would be chopped by a group of mobs holding hoes and sickles!

Seeing that Yuan Shu was almost in chaos, Cao Cao also started to take action. The 80,000 army gathered in Xuchang, and under Cao Cao's personal leadership, he vowed to fight the south!

At the same time, Liu Biao sent general Cai Mao to lead the army, and Kuai Yue started from Jiangling and went all the way.

Lu Bu also personally led the army, staying Wei Xu and Song Xian to defend the city and attacking Shouchun - he also wanted to receive the reward of 100,000 gold and 800 households. Sun Ce, who had been preparing for war in Moling early, also led Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu to work hard and go upstream, aiming directly at Lujiang County!
