That's right, these two guests, one tall and one short, are the Han soldiers sent by Luo Xian to spread rumors.

Luo Xian's thinking is very clear.

If you want to overthrow Liaodong and let Gongsun Gong replace Gongsun Yuan's regime, you must enlist the help of Beiyan, the Liaodong general who controls military power.

But Bei Yan is a martial artist, go directly to Bei Yan and let him betray Gongsun Yuan, of course he will not agree, and he will arrest Luo Xian and them.

Even if Beiyan agrees, the soldiers and horses under his command may not rebel with Beiyan, after all, Beiyan is only the manager of this army, not the controller.

Therefore, if you want to persuade Bei Yan to lead his troops to attack Gongsun Yuan, you must first build momentum.

As happened in the tavern just now, spread the fact that Gongsun Yuan was allied with the Wei State, and create the rumor that the Han was about to fight with Liaodong. Then infinitely exaggerate the strength of the Han soldiers and horses, the strength of the Han generals, and create panic.

After the rendering of the Han army, the people really panicked, and at this time the soldiers of the Han army proposed a solution, so that those people asked their relatives who were soldiers at home to escape.

I don't know if the soldiers will run away, but this kind of terrifying remarks and terrifying emotions will definitely spread from the people to the army.

Gongsun Yuan is an inactive prince, and most of the officials in Liaodong are mediocre, and now that Liaodong is cold and freezing, officials rarely go out, and the suppression of rumors will definitely not be timely, and in a few days, Xiangping City will be panicked.

Rumors stop at the wise, but those people are obviously not wise, but have become the spreaders of rumors.

The Han soldiers just went to the tavern, and the teahouse spread a rumor, and the people there went everywhere to tell all their relatives and friends.

………………

…………

An elderly man hurried to a relative's house.

"Eh, his second uncle, you haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit."

"What are you sitting on, I'm telling you something wrong, I remember that your son was a soldier in the army, right, he was still a spearman, let him escape quickly, or he won't even die."

"What's the matter? Second uncle, what happened to my son? ”

"It's not that he did anything, but Taishou is going to fight with the Han, your son is a pikeman, as soon as the battle starts, he will be the first to rush to the front, facing the elite of the Han army's wolf-like fierce generals, and it is not in vain to go up and die." Tell him to run for his life! ”

"How is it possible, there is still a Wei State between the Han and our Liaodong, how can this good man fight with the Han. Second uncle, who did you listen to when you said this? ”

"What do you know as a woman?" The old man snorted coldly and said, "Do you know? Taishou has already promised to form an alliance with Wei and attack the Han together, or it won't be long before he will send troops.

Do you know how strong the big man is? How many fierce generals are there? The soldiers of the big man, all eight feet tall, the weapons in their hands are as sharp as clay, and they can move mountains and reclaim the sea in one day.

Have you heard of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong? Back then, in Cao Cao's million-strong army, he embraced the current Han Emperor, and he was killed like a river of blood, and when the sword went down, hundreds of people lost their lives......"

The rumors are like this, the more they spread, the more evil they become, and the Han army was only slightly exaggerated, but when it came to the mouth of this old man, it became a complete bragging.

The woman didn't believe it, but it was obvious that what the old man said was reasonable, and she was also a little afraid, and planned to meet his son in the army, so that he could prepare early.

Four or five days passed in a flash.

Rumors spread in Xiangping City, and the people in the city fell into panic.

However, the officials of Liaodong, from Gongsun Yuan to the little officials of the sword and pen, were still drunk and dreaming of death, and they did not pay any attention to this matter.

However, paper could not contain the fire after all, and the panic of the people gradually spread to the army, and it could not be concealed.

Outside the city of Xiangping, in a military camp.

Several soldiers gathered and whispered.

"Is this true? Are we really going to fight the big guys? ”

"Are the soldiers and horses of the Great Han really that powerful? If it's really that powerful, if we start fighting, we'll lose our lives. ”

"Heh, don't talk about whether the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are so powerful, let's talk about us first, we have never fought, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are all elite in a hundred battles.

The strength of the Wei State, needless to say, the elite on the border is not the opponent of the Wei army. But the Wei army, in front of the Han soldiers and horses, was like paper paste, fighting a battle and losing a battle. Are we comparable to the Han soldiers and horses? ”

"Why don't we go too? Li Erzhang and the three kings and monkeys are all gone, if the rumors are true, if there is a real fight, we will not be able to leave, once we are caught, it is the crime of killing the head. Go now, flee to the mountains and forests, they won't make a big move to find us. ”

A few soldiers were discussing, and Liaodong General Beiyan came over: "What are you talking about?" What did you run away from? How? Want to be a deserter? ”

Seeing that it was Beiyan, several soldiers hurriedly stood up.

One of the soldiers plucked up the courage and said, "General, I ask you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Are we going to fight the big man?"

Beiyan's face changed when he heard this: "Who did you listen to about this?" ”

"Isn't Taishou going to form an alliance with Wei?" The soldier asked, "Isn't our Liaodong alliance with Wei just going to fight with the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Who did you listen to that?" Bei Yan's face sank, this is a major matter in Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan has been keeping it a secret, and these soldiers learned about it.

"It's said everywhere in the city now, and we've heard it!"

"What?" Bei Yan's face changed greatly when he heard this, what's the matter, why is Liaodong talking about it everywhere? Who leaked the news, now that the people know about it, when it reaches the Han Dynasty, won't Qiu Xiu's strategy to Gongsun Yuan not work.

"Gather my soldiers and horses!" Bei Yan ordered with a calm face, although he is not smart, but he also knows some ways to govern the army, of course he knows that he can't continue to let this news continue to spread, otherwise the army will be in chaos.

The drum was beaten, and after the three-way drum, nearly 10,000 soldiers gradually gathered.

After the officers of each battalion were counted, the list was humble.

Bei Yan looked at the list and was immediately furious: "What's the matter? Why are there so many people missing from the camps, and where have they gone? ”

The first general replied: "General, they asked for leave together a few days ago, and they have not returned yet. ”

"Damn!" After a little thought, Bei Yan knew that these soldiers were listening to rumors and were afraid of fighting with the Han soldiers, so they fled for their lives.

In fact, there is such a thing as desertion, even if there is no such rumor in the army, once Liaodong and the Han really want to fight, there are soldiers who run away because they are killed.

What's more, rumors are rife in the army now, and the soldiers of Liaodong are afraid of the strength of the Han, so it is natural for someone to escape.
