Wanhua listened to Xu Jie's words, and he also felt that it was reasonable, if he really forced a big mess in Guanzhong, it would naturally save him a lot of trouble in attacking Tongguan.

"Mr. is right, since that's the case, then let's give it a try, we don't lose anything if we can't succeed anyway, why not do it!"

Wan Hua said, that is, he asked people to call the surgical team members of the Wangfeng Department and asked him to pass on the message to Li Jie, who is now in Guanzhong, and let him spread rumors.

If you want to say that Li Jie's work efficiency is high, in a few days, the rumors that the big clan in this pass secretly came into contact with thieves are flying all over the sky, and there are noses and eyes.

Now is the time when the guards are in the limelight, and it just so happens that they are now attacking Tongguan again, which naturally makes the people in the Guanzhong area panic, especially the guards who fled back, they even say that the guards are godly.

Such a thief is extremely difficult to deal with, and if there is another traitor to hook up, the result can be imagined!

At the head of Tongguan City, a mighty general is inspecting the defense of Tongguan, and this general is Ma Xingrui, the guard general of Tongguan.

Since getting the news that the Mizhi thieves were killing Tongguan, Ma Xingrui didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

In order to show that he attaches importance to this upcoming battle, he even lived in the city himself, eating and drinking here, and expressed his determination to live and die with Tongguan with this behavior!

I can't help Ma Xingrui not do this, now that the 100,000 army of the imperial court has been defeated, the officials everywhere are frightened, and when they hear the news of the rice fat giant thief, they tremble!

Don't look at the number of Xiongguan in the world that you are guarding, but in the end, it is also a dead thing, plus the rice fat giant thief is full of tricks, so far, there is no record of defeat, so far, it is the soldiers who guard Tongguan, that is also panicked, whether you can hold Tongguan, that is also uncertain,

In this way, looking at the demoralized soldiers, Ma Xingrui had no choice but to move to Tongguan City, and told everyone with his practical actions that even if he wanted to die, he would be the Tongguan guard to die with everyone!

There is a way that a soldier is the power of a general, and a soldier is the courage of a soldier, Ma Xingrui did this, which really shocked the spirit of Tongguan, and the morale of the army was slowly stabilized.

Just when Ma Xingrui was inspecting, Ma Xingrui's confidant Ma Baoshan hurriedly walked closer, and whispered to Ma Xingrui: "General, now there are rumors outside that those big businessmen and big wealthy families in Xi'an, they secretly made money with the thieves, saying that they wanted to make trouble in Xi'an when the thieves attacked Tongguan, and responded to the actions of the thieves. ”

Ma Xingrui was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Is the news reliable?" Who are those big families? ”

"It's not reliable, this subordinate doesn't know, anyway, it's all spread like this outside, as for the big families, like the big grain merchant Wang family, the big salt merchant Meng family, the pawn shop Huang family, and the Ma Jinshi family of Chang'an County, anyway, as long as we are a famous big businessman in Guanzhong, the big wealthy family, they all have a share!"

When Ma Xingrui heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, this news is fake as soon as you hear it, even if it's a copper coin, then there is a positive and negative side, there are so many wealthy families in Guanzhong, even if they work together to do one thing, it can't be so people's minds are the same, this must be fake!" ”

After speaking, Ma Xingrui just pressed the battlement, looked into the distance, and then said: "No need to ask, this must be the conspiracy of the giant thief, so it seems that their meticulous work has penetrated deep into my Guanzhong land, which is really powerful!" ”

At this time, Ma Baoshan walked to Ma Xingrui's side again and said, "General, since this thief's conspiracy is so easily seen through, why does he spread this rumor?" ”

Ma Xingrui couldn't help but be stunned,

Yes, this rumor is so simple, as long as someone has a little judgment ability, it can be easily seen through, so why does he bother to spread it!

After thinking and meditating for a long time, Ma Xingrui didn't know, and finally had to order his generals to be on guard at all times, and not let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes.

And even if someone comes from the locality, no matter who it is, no matter what it is, even if it is someone who comes to the labor army, it can't be ignored, and now Ma Xingrui, it can only be changed and changed!

Ma Xingrui was quite calm and calm, after all, he didn't panic, but at this time, those businessmen who really wanted to contact Wanhua behind their backs, they were panicked.

That night, in a quiet house in Xi'an, three wealthy old men who were about forty years old met urgently.

They are Wang Qingxian, a big grain merchant, Li Shenglong, a landlord, and Wu Yun, a wealthy merchant in Silk Village, all three of whom are famous lords in Xi'an, with a family of 100,000 and millions, all of whom are characters who stomp their feet and tremble in Xi'an.

Let's just say that Wang Xianqing, a big grain merchant, as long as his family's grain store is closed for three days and does not do business, then the whole Xi'an will be chaotic, and the people will fall into panic because they are afraid that they will not be able to buy food!

Such a bullish character, but at this time they were panicked, with a frightened look,

There is no other reason, but it is because in the past few days, there has been news that they have secretly taken refuge in the rice fat thieves, which makes them dare not go out!

This rumor is really not a joke, you must know when it is, it is about to go to war again, this is the time of war, then anything can happen, once the government does it to itself with these rumors, it is not impossible!

Of the three of them, which one of them is not a wealthy family, as long as an official does it to himself, then their family will not worry for generations!

Don't look at them are all hugely rich, with money and connections, their status in Xi'an is very important, but in the end, it is just a showcase, once the government really wants to do it, in a hurry, they can't resist it!

But what is rumored outside is just a rumor after all, why are they so panicked, no one else is panicking, what are they panicking!

The so-called don't do bad things on weekdays, and they are not afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night, the reason why they are so panicked is because they really expressed their intention to take refuge in Wanhua, and that Zhang Gui was sent out by them!

The so-called restaurant shopkeeper Zhang Tianshu, that is just a rubber stamp, if Wanhua really lays down Tongguan, they will immediately rely on the intention of starting to form with Wanhua, and take refuge in the past as soon as possible, in order to keep their wealth and wealth.
