Chapter 1349 Jiangdong Disturbance

The next day, Ma Chao waved his pen and signed an alliance with Cao again. However, strangely speaking, Cao Ang's task was completed when he returned to Xu Chang. But Ma Chao added a piece to the covenant, leaving Cao Ang in Xiangyang. Naturally, the reason is that Ma Cao's previous two covenants ended in the breach of the treaty, and this time he had to prevent it.

To put it rudely, Ma Chao is the way to ask for protons. This kind of thing is common in the late Three Kingdoms. After all, in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, there were frequent melee between warlords. It may be less than half a month after the two alliances were reached, and the other princes may disappear. Therefore, it is quite unreasonable and unnecessary to do so. However, at this moment, Ma Chao's doing so seems very reasonable and necessary.

Although in terms of strength, the Ma family is completely superior to the Cao family. However, in terms of identity, Ma Chao is the king of Yong, but Cao Cao is also the king of Wei, and there is no general relationship between the two. And the overall situation of the world has become clear, and it seems that the two families will not be eliminated by Liu Bei and Sun Ce within ten days and a half months. Therefore, retaining Cao Ang as a hostage has won the unanimous approval of the Ma family, shouting Ma Chao's wisdom.

The news reached Xuchang, and Cao Cao's reaction seemed to be very recognizable. Cao Cao did not even respond to accusing Ma Chao of his rude behavior. Instead, he rectified 100,000 Qingzhou troops on the same day and sent troops from Xuchang to Lujiang.

On the same day, Ma Chao also issued an order to postpone the attack on Lujiang by Gan Ning, Guo Jia and Wen Ping, and put the main work on rumors and public opinion. On that day, Ma Cao allied again, and the panic rumors that washed Jiangdong flew to the six counties in Jiangdong like wings. Lujiang's Sun Ce obviously did not have a big response to such rumors. Under Zhou Yu's several ineffective persuasion, he made the most wrong choice for martial arts to deal with rumors.

The specific method of Ma Chao's rumors is to print a large number of the alliances of the Ma Cao two families, and say that the Ma Cao families attacked Jiangdong this time. It is a story of the Ma family who dared to provoke the majesty of the Ma family in order to revenge Sun Ce and Cao Cao saw their daughter being abused in the Sun family and wanted to raise troops.

Although politically speaking, this reason for military service is simply bullshit. However, ordinary people who only understand the shortcomings of their parents believe in such stories that can't stand scrutiny, and after several times of spread, several versions have emerged. Even the details of Sun's mother Wu's forced Cao's daughter to wash the toilet came out, and the saying about 'North Malaysia' was even more noisy.

Lujiang was originally the place of hatred that Sun Ce killed Lu Kang's family. Sun Ce was immediately shocked when he heard the rumors. He ordered all the documents picked up on the front line to be collected and burned.

However, after the shadow of the Ma family once again processed and improved the version of the story, they invented a new way of dissemination. They put the bamboo-carved text on the river and let it flow to the side of Jiangdong Daying; through the caravan, the text was quietly brought over; through careful work, the text was conveyed in the dark...

Sun Ce was helpless and ordered that those who dare to check and pick up the article will be executed; those who dare to pass the article will be executed; those who dare to discuss the article will be executed! For this reason, he also sent countless secret agents all over the people, eavesdropped on the conversations of the people, set up inspection stations on the road, set up lists to make threats, and hung human heads in the city to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys. But these measures are like watering a small bowl to put out forest fires. This high-pressure policy has no effect and is completely useless. From Chai Sang to Lujiang, from Wu County to Huiji, from Jianye to Yuzhang, such articles appear almost everywhere in counties, counties, townships and pavilions, large and small.

People under high pressure spontaneously broadcast and pass it on. The more Sun Ce ordered that no one was allowed to see this thing, the more it aroused the curiosity of the people, and the more this thing spread among the people at a faster speed. Later, this article sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, and its spread like a fire, burning fields everywhere, everywhere, word of mouth, and everyone knows it.

In such a short time, less than half a month, when Cao's army was under the city of Lujiang, different voices finally appeared in the whole base industry in Jiangdong. Sun Quan of Wu County took the lead in delinquiring Sun Ce's high-pressure policy and actively sent envoys to Cao's camp. As a result, he was intercepted by Sun Ce halfway and ordered to remove Sun Quan from power in the rear. But at this time, Sun Ce found that he underestimated his second brother. Sun Quan immediately ordered Sun Ce's military food to be cut off. Those who supported Sun Quan on the land of Jiangdong were surging, forcing Sun Ce to consider retreating to Jiangdong.

But when the conflict between the two brothers had become water and fire, the Ma family added fuel to the fire again: Ma Chao, the king of Yong, and Cao Cao, the king of Wei, jointly declared the world, only recognizing Sun Quan's legal status to Jiangdong. This method naturally summoned the eager opposition of His Majesty Xichuan, and an imperial edict denounced the treason of King Yong and King Wei for ignoring imperial power and attacking each other wantonly. Unfortunately, such a saint seems so powerless under the oppression of the Ma family and the Cao family's almost 300,000 troops...

A burst of political activities of "power and abolition" emerged decisively in Jiangdong. Many rich people in Jiangdong stood clearly under Sun Quan's command, and Sun Ce, who was isolated in Lujiang, was helpless and anxious. At this time, the 100,000 elites of the Ma family, who had been stationed in Xiangyang for a month, finally began their journey of the Eastern Expedition without waiting for Liu Bei's army to take action.

The sensational news came, which made Sun Ce Group, which was precarious, even worse. In the case of internal and external difficulties, it seems that the Sun Ce regime in Lujiang will completely collapse with a gentle push by the Ma army and the Cao army. Not to mention, there have been countless * and civil changes in Lujiang City.

Unfortunately, the peak of the matter appeared at the moment before the Ma Chao Army's Eastern Expedition.

Just when Ma Chao came out from the county guard to command the army, a group of people sat around a table in front of the window on an inconspicuous restaurant in Xiangyang City. The pedestrian seemed to be a little leisurely and a little worried. He sat at the table and whispered, as if he were discussing something.

This restaurant is a typical wooden pavilion-style building, with four floors high and square. Each floor is used bucket arches to support the waist eaves. Looking out of this restaurant, you can clearly see every move on the county guard and Xiangyang Street. Since today is the big day for the Ma army to send troops, many people in Xiangyang ran to the street to give gifts to Ma Chao. There were only a few people on the whole third floor. The children who had to serve outside the door were very depressed because they could not look at the powerful Ma army from afar.

"Guess," one person asked the three people next to him, "where will they ambush?" Everything is ready. If you want to assassinate, this is the last chance, but we don't know where they did it yet.

"I guess it's a suspension bridge." One person replied that he looked very young, with a kind of excitement and excitement of playing for the first time. "The suspension bridge is the narrowest journey out of the city and the camp. If it is used as a place for assassination, it is perfect."

After saying this, he was immediately white-eyed by everyone on the table. One of them is obviously the leader of this group. There is a smile on his extremely handsome face, patting the head of the man just now and saying, "Assassination is a very technical thing. You just want to kill the other party, but you don't want to escape. How can that work? After killing the enemy, do you just wait to be killed? That kind of dead man with no technical content, do you think Xizhi will be as idiot as you?

The young man was ashamed for a while, but he lowered his head and was irrefutable. At this moment, a person who has not spoken suddenly said, "I guess the play will still be the same. He will hide in a shop on Xiangyang Street that has been bought for a long time. Xiangyang has developed well recently. In the past two years, there have been many foreign customers, but the management is not as strict as Chang'an. After starting from there, they can easily get rid of it.

"It's a little interesting." The leader smiled again, but finally decided the guess: "There are so many spectators on the street today. They can only use bows to hide in the shops, and the opportunity may also flash away. People who are so cautious can't choose to do it in such a chaotic environment.

"Brother, where on earth do you think Xi Zhicai will attack you?" The young man was anxious and asked the leader directly.

"I guess the drama will not move anywhere. My golden cicada's shelling plan can be hidden from others, but I can't hide his inner response in Xiangyang. Ma Chaoyou took off the hat on his head and completely exposed his appearance to the sun.
