Chapter 152 The technique of spreading rumors
Ma Su didn't know that his old acquaintance Mi Fang, the uncle of Han Dynasty, had come to Jingnan. If he knew, he would definitely drop everything and take people to the police to whip him without saying a word.
After all, in Ma Su's opinion, Mi Fang is more hated than Lu Xun.
But unfortunately, Ma Su didn't know that he was still busy trying to appease the barbarians. Life for the past month has been a cycle of recruiting barbarians, stroking barbarians, and fighting barbarians.
But the result was good, at least in addition to the Wuxi Barbarians, the rest of the Wuling Barbarians also responded. A large number of barbarian tribes sent letters to Ma Su, expressing their willingness to jointly resist Soochow.
This matter is not only Ma Su's ability, but also Sun Quan's assists.
The barbarians in Jingzhou were also people of daily life, and they did not want to fight Soochow at first. After all, when Liu Bei was governing Jingnan, he had a very good relationship with these barbarians.
But since Sun Quan became the lord of Jingzhou, everything has changed.
Soochow has always had a violent attitude towards the barbarians, and there is no strategy to recruit them at all. Under Sun Quan's instructions, Cao Wei's soldiers from Soochow, who had always been at a disadvantage, ravaged this group of barbarians in various ways.
The result was very good, and all the barbarians in Jingnan hated these Jiangdong people very much.
Ma Su's solicitation quickly aroused the emotions of the entire Wuling barbarians. Not only did the barbarians send troops to Yi Dao to support the Han army in attacking Soochow, but many barbarians came alone to defect to Ma Di.
In just over a month, Ma Su gathered nearly a thousand barbarians, and his tribe expanded to 4,000.
"General Ma! I will lead the troops to Yidao tomorrow. I would like to treat the general to a drink today!" Samoqi gathered the barbarians and officially prepared to go out of the mountain to Yidao. Before leaving, he found Ma Su again, hoping to have a closer relationship with the Han general.
Although he does not plan to go to Yizhou now, he still wants to continue to be his barbarian king in Wuling. But it’s not a bad thing to have more friends. Having more friends means more care.
Ma Su did not refuse the Barbarian King's initiative. The Wuxi barbarians are still the strongest supporters of the Shu Han in Jingnan, and they can still mainly recruit them.
Samoqi took Ma Su to hold a banquet and found several young women from the tribe to dance for fun. If General Ma is interested in that person, Shamoqi will definitely send it to Ma Su's bedroom that night.
However, Ma Su had no idea about this at all and just chatted casually with Samoqi.
"King Sha Man, last year I worked in Chengdu Siwencao and heard a lot about Soochow's intelligence agents. I wonder if you would be interested?" After drinking for three rounds, Ma Di suddenly said with a smile, with a bit of inexplicable emotion in his words. Tone.
Upon hearing this, Ma Su's personal guards all tilted their heads and pricked their ears in this direction.
Once Ma Su speaks in this tone, it means he is about to start making up a short story again. When General Ma was at Chencang City, he made up a whole set of logical and self-consistent stories about the rain after the rain for Hao Zhao.
The story was told so heartily that not to mention Ma Di's personal guards, even Hao Zhao's soldiers listened with their ears pricked up every day.
"Isn't this a major military matter? General Youchang, would you like to tell me?" Samoqi was overjoyed and asked quickly.
"It's not a major military event, just some interesting stories." Ma Su smiled slightly, pointed in the direction of Jianye, and said with a smile.
"I heard that when the puppet Wei conquered Wu, Lu Xun led his troops to defend Ruxuwu."
"One night, Lu Xun personally inspected the military camp and heard a soldier secretly curse: "That bastard who is the most useless in the war! "Lu Xun was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to be arrested for questioning, saying that he was insulting the Marquis of Wu behind his back."
"The pawn was unconvinced and argued: "I didn't say who it was at all, why should I be punished! What I am scolding is not Supreme at all! ""
"Unexpectedly, Lu Xun was furious and said angrily: "Stop sophistry, don't I know who is the most useless person in the war in Soochow? ""
"puff!"
For a moment, all the tribal elders and leaders present burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha... As expected of the Commander-in-Chief Sun Boyan."
"This rebuttal is indeed reasonable!"
"If I were such a pawn, I would probably have no choice but to bow my head and admit my guilt."
"Then Lu Xun arrested this little pawn and questioned him. He insulted the emperor in twenty battles and beheaded him on the grounds that he had betrayed important information about Soochow." Ma Di then added with a calm face, and the whole room burst into laughter. Zhongdu is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Then Ma Su began to talk about many things, basically all about Lu Xun and Sun Quan.
For example, Lu Xun suggested that Sun Quan kill the Lu family because the head of the Lu family had revealed to him his dissatisfaction with Sun Quan.
Another example is that Lu Xun is a shameless person. In the past, Master Guan was very optimistic about him and once wrote a letter to make friends with Lu Xun. As a result, Lu Xun used this as an opportunity to deceive Guan Yu and instruct Lu Meng to capture Jiangling.
Later, he was worried that Lü Meng would block his way, so he sent someone to assassinate Lü Meng.
In all kinds of stories like this, the protagonists are basically Lu Xun and Sun Quan. Moreover, Ma Su didn't directly tell them what they were doing, he just told it as a short story.
After listening to the information revealed by Ma Su, even the barbarian leaders present felt that Lu Xun was really not a human being.
We barbarians still know how to be kind to our friends, but we didn’t expect that Lu Xun was such an insidious and shameless bastard behind his back.
"This Lu Xun is really a shameless villain." Barbarian King Samoqi sighed and couldn't help but rebuke Lu Xun for being an inappropriate person.
"They're just rumors from Jiangdong. They can't be taken seriously." Ma Di chuckled and added this sentence unintentionally.
In order to spread a rumor, the rumor itself must first be attractive enough. Rumors can spread quickly on their own only if they are interesting enough to make you want to gossip about them with your friends and family when you are bored.
Only by adding fuel to the flames at this time can we get twice the result with half the effort.
In this era, Confucianism has spread widely, and the concept of filial piety, loyalty, trust, propriety, justice, integrity and shame has become widely known. The most unpleasant form of scolding is to accuse a person of being unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust.
Therefore, Ma Su specially made up various stories for Lu Xun and Sun Quan based on these points.
For example, Lu Xun was an illegitimate son of the Sun family. He secretly looked down on Sun Quan's wars, was not considerate of the soldiers and liked to deceive others...
When these stories spread throughout Jingnan and become popular, everyone will have a conclusion about what kind of person Lu Xun is.
Three people make a tiger, not to mention there are more than three or four people who dislike you, Lu Xun, in Soochow!
Just when Ma Su and Wuxi Barbarian King were having a good drink, they suddenly saw Liu Yin rushing in. As soon as he saw Ma Di, Liu Yin immediately handed a letter to Ma Di.
"General, Han Xuan, the former governor of Changsha, sent a message and said that it must be delivered to you personally."
"Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why did he send people to find me?"
