Chapter 1013 The Abandoned Emperor

The war of public opinion began, and Zhang Yu's propaganda was overwhelming.

"Do you know that this Son of Heaven is so ruthless and burns hundreds of thousands of people."

"Those are the people of the Great Han, how can he be like this."

"The Son of Heaven has no way, no wonder they all want to oppose him."

"Yes, even Liu Bei can kill Liu Biao, and few of their royal family surnamed Liu are good people."

"Why does the prime minister still defend the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty so much?"

In Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, there were rumors everywhere, Zhang Yu did not attack Cao Cao, but attacked Liu Xie, and pushed some on Liu Xie.

However, this made Cao Cao even more difficult.

"This Cao Xiu is simply inhumane and should be killed."

"Zhang Yu is offering a reward to kill Cao Xiu."

"This Cao Xiu is a member of the Cao family, I don't know if the prime minister will kill Cao Xiu."

"They are all from the Cao family, and they will definitely protect him."

In this Cao Cao's territory, he not only attacked Liu Xie, but also attacked Cao Xiu.

This made Cao Cao very uncomfortable.

attacked Cao Xiu, and in the end, he had to bear it.

Cao Cao was extremely irritable, and he clearly publicized it in advance and told the world that this thing was done by Zhang Yu, and the fire was set by Zhang Yu.

But within a few days, public opinion changed.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that most of Cao Cao's propaganda channels are channels of time.

These families actually understand what is going on in their hearts, although they have publicized it, but the response is not great.

Zhang Yu is different, in the people, there are a large number of intelligence officers ambushed by Zhang Yu.

They mainly spread the word through gossip and in the market.

The rumors are terrible.

It didn't take long for the propaganda to spread everywhere.

At the same time, when Zhang Yu and they promote, they like to use storytelling, and among some scholars, Zhang Yu's intelligence system also has a huge influence.

Many of the scholars who went out of the higher academies were classmates, and even if they were not classmates, they had received higher education together.

The huge impact and the pressure formed made Cao Cao unexpected.

"Damn, damn."

After Cao Cao received the information, he had a headache, although he temporarily thwarted Zhang Yu's plan to fight a war of attrition with him this time, but his own losses were also huge.

"In the current situation, how to break the situation?" Cao Cao asked the crowd and said.

"Lord, I think all those who spread rumors will be arrested and chopped up." Xu Chu said.

Cao Cao shook his head, this matter is obviously not good, it is too late.

The story is already very exciting.

What emperor wants to kill millions of people to sacrifice to heaven.

What emperor dreamed at night that the gods were going to send down divine punishment, and they needed to sacrifice the blood of millions of people.

In short, all kinds of bizarre stories spread in the community, and they spread very quickly and widely.

Originally, the emperor did not have much effect, but now it has a huge negative impact on Cao Cao.

And Cao Xiu and Cao Chun are naturally the executioners of the Son of Heaven, but Cao Chun is dead, and all the infamy is on Cao Xiu's back.

"I heard that the Son of Heaven is in the palace and eats people's hearts every day."

"Alas, it's no wonder that so many people are missing around Xuchang every day."

"It is said that they will also catch girls, and they will have maidens every day..."

"People are the Son of Heaven, so naturally they can be like this."

"It is said that the Son of Heaven will burn another million people."

"It's terrible, you must not go out at night in the future."

Rumors are spreading.

A few days later, Zhang Yu killed Xiahoudun outside the city of Lu, in front of the graves of the soldiers.

Xiahoudun was an important general of Cao Cao, and when he heard the bad news, Cao Cao was grieved and finally fell ill.

After Cao Cao fell ill, they also retreated, and Cao Cao withdrew directly to Xuchang with part of his army.

After returning to Xuchang, this Cao Cao didn't dare to rest at all, and immediately summoned several of his advisers and Cao Ang.

"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors and rumors, and they have spread very quickly, you say, what can be done?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that Cao Xiu should be dismissed, punished appropriately, and calm down the situation." Xun You said.

"No." Cheng Yu immediately stood up and objected: "In this way, it will be equivalent to admitting our mistakes, and it will be even more unfavorable to us when the time comes." ”

Xu You said: "Otherwise, if we have no way to change the direction of public opinion now, then if it goes on like this, it will only be detrimental to us." ”

There was no perfect way for everyone to argue.

Public opinion was swayed by Zhang Yu, and they were in a passive position.

At this time, Man Pang stood up and said: "My lord, if the Son of Heaven comes out and takes all the responsibility, we will be able to calm all the speech. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd stopped talking.

It's a bit of a big deal.

That is, from then on, the Son of Heaven was abolished.

The Son of Heaven can no longer control public opinion, let alone order the princes.

This son of heaven has become a piece of Cao Cao's chicken ribs, and even, if it is not handled well, it may affect himself.

At this time, Jia Xu stood up, and then said: "Lord, we should let the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang." ”

"Ah~"

"This..."

"My lord..."

Jia Xu's words were even more vigorous, and several people didn't react before they screamed.

Let the Son of Heaven go to Luoyang, nominally this is not wrong.

But he went, and that was the place controlled by the Xiliang Army.

Guo Yan is still occupied.

The Son of Heaven is gone, and death is not far away.

Now the Son of Heaven has no effect, Cao Cao is asking the Son of Heaven to die, and then get rid of the pot.

At this time, there are pros and cons to the majority.

When the Son of Heaven dies, there will be no orthodox heir in the world, and no one will inherit the throne.

Then, the world is the world of the princes, and there is no more than a nominal emperor.

Xun Yu closed his eyes, and blood was dripping from his heart.

He may be the only person in Cao Cao's camp who is still loyal to the Han family.

He is a smart man, and he knows that it is useless to say anything at this time, once you Cao Cao decides, then the Han will also perish.

Xun Yu didn't know where to go, he stayed here for the emperor, not for Cao Cao.

If the Son of Heaven is driven to Luoyang, will he follow him or not?

Follow and fall into the hands of the Xiliang Army, the end can be imagined, if you don't go, will you still be a citizen of the Han Dynasty?

This Son of Heaven is already a tool, a tool for them to fight for, and now it is useless, and it has to be thrown away.

The princes have been crowned kings.

The emperor did not have much authority.

Now, if the Son of Heaven bears those infamy...

Xun Yu didn't dare to imagine that he had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, but he was born at the wrong time.

Cao Cao didn't make up his mind, the impact of this matter was too great, and he didn't know what to do.

After letting everyone disperse, Cao Cao said to Cao Ang: "Ang'er, it is not possible to be merciful in the struggle for domination in the world, but we have reached the most dangerous time, if the father hesitates at this time, he will be taken advantage of by the enemy, but this time the father really can't make up his mind." ”

Cao Ang said: "Father, I didn't expect Zhang Yu to run so deeply, and he could quickly set off public opinion in various places, we have already lost once, and if we lose, we will have to pay the price." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and didn't know what it meant, and after a long pause, he said: "You must not participate in this matter, your father is already old, even if he has thousands of infamy on his back, it will all disappear when he dies, and you are different." ”
