Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 301 The newspaper said that Cao Cao slaughtered the city, so he did
After two months of fighting, Cao Cao broke through more than 20 cities.

But Cao Cao was not really crazy, he slaughtered two cities and tens of thousands of people.

But the panic it caused was also enormous.

The people of Xuzhou are already in danger.

At this time, Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou to help Tao Qian.

In the past two months, Zhang Ming has transported [-] people to Youzhou.

This expense is enormous.

But the countryside is a magical place, both in modern times and in ancient times.

More than 7 people are allocated to each village, and not many people are accepted in a single village, so they can fully support them.

In the past two months, Zhang Ming mobilized a large amount of food, and then built many houses.

In short, these tens of thousands of people did not have much impact on the huge Youzhou.

"My lord, this is news from Xuzhou. Cao Cao has captured another county with 12 people."

"Okay, I'll write the editorial right away."

Zhang Ming started to act after reading the information.

"Cao Cao broke through XX County, massacred more than [-] people, the city was full of blood, and the sky screamed. I hereby appeal to Cao Cao to stop bloody hands and not turn Xuzhou into hell. with the land"

Zhang Ming wrote a review eloquently.

Then he said: "Send it to the newspaper office immediately, and let the editor-in-chief print it."

Zhang Ming handed over the written comments to the soldiers who came to report.

Because Zhang Ming was writing and reading, the soldier took a look and saw that the number on it was wrong.

"My lord, although Cao Cao broke through the city, he did not massacre the city. According to our information, there were only a few civilians who were accidentally injured. You slaughtered more than [-] people in the city, and the city was full of blood."

The soldier looked puzzled, did the newspaper really want to write like this?

Zhang Ming was not angry, but put down his pen and ink, and paid a visit to the paper.

Then Zhang Ming picked up the tea next to him and said, "It doesn't matter whether Cao Cao slaughtered the city or not, and it doesn't matter what I say. It depends on the newspaper."

"If the newspaper says he has it, he has it. If the newspaper says he has it, then the whole big man will say he has it."

The soldier's eyes widened, and he could still do this.

"Then, did Cao Cao massacre the city?" The soldier was confused, and now he doesn't know whether Cao Cao massacred the city or not.

"Hahaha, then go to the editor-in-chief and let him send it out. If you have any questions, tell him what I just said."

"Remember, the original information is destroyed, and it is not allowed to spread."

The soldier immediately bowed and retreated.

After the soldiers left, Zhang Ming sipped the tea happily.

Because the information was also sent to the editor-in-chief, he knew that Cao Cao did not slaughter the city.

It's just that the double-handed fight was very intense.

The people in the city were afraid that Zhang Ming would slaughter the city, so they fought hard to defend it.

It was not easy for Cao Cao to fight down, and there were many casualties.

So, seeing Zhang Ming's comment, the editor-in-chief was also very puzzled at first.

But after listening to the soldier's narration, the editor-in-chief is a sensible person and knows what Zhang Ming means.

He had a copy of the original information, but he destroyed it himself before showing it to outsiders.

Soon newspapers were printed and distributed everywhere.

Recently, the sales volume of newspapers is very huge, and one copy can sell more than 30 yuan.

Of course, more than 20 copies are now sold outside.

Youzhou, around Jixian County, you can get newspapers the next morning.

"What? This Cao Mengde continues to slaughter the city."

"The newspaper said that the city was covered in blood, and the heavens were mourning."

"More than ten thousand people, how precious is his father, Cao Cao, who has slaughtered tens of thousands of people."

"Cao Cao is a beast."

"Although this Youzhou state herdsman is extravagant and licentious, he can still love the people at this time, and brought many homeless Xuzhou people to Youzhou."

"Yes, they were all brought to Youzhou, so they can't be harmed by Cao Cao."

When the common people saw the newspaper, they were extremely sad and indignant, and condemned Cao Cao one after another.

In this day and age, the common people don't know what a parade is, otherwise a large-scale parade would have erupted.

The parade did not appear, but in many teahouses, intersections and other places, a group of people gathered and cursed Cao Cao.

Sure enough, as Zhang Ming said, the newspaper said that Cao Cao had slaughtered the city, so he did. The newspaper said that he had slaughtered the city, and the whole big man was saying that he had slaughtered the city.

At this time, even if Cao Cao explained again, it would be of no use.

This newspaper was run by Zhang Ming, but in ancient times when news was scarce, many people believed it.

Moreover, Cao Cao slaughtered the city first, and he did slaughter the city twice before.

The people of Youzhou were angry.

But they can't help it, it's too far away.

Many people in Youzhou used to be refugees, and they know how difficult it is for the common people.

If Zhang Ming hadn't rescued them, many people wouldn't know how they were doing.

"Let's ask Mr. Zhang to save all the people in Xuzhou."

"Yes, we wrote to Wanmin to save everyone."

"However, Mr. Zhang is building a city and is short of money."

"We donate money, and each family will take out the money and put it together. If we can save one more person."

"it is good."

"Go back to the village and talk about it."

Several people said they wanted to donate, and someone responded immediately.

In half a day, it spread throughout Ji County.

Then, it began to spread, and the news spread rapidly.

Zhang Ming also got the news, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai came to see him together.

"My lord, this newspaper has only been published for one day, and this is what Youzhou is like." Xi Zhicai threw the collected news to Zhang Ming and said.

"Hahahahaha."

After reading the information, Zhang Ming said: "This is how our newspaper is powerful. Now we have mastered public opinion, sometimes even more powerful than the aristocratic family."

"If you master public opinion, you can control a certain amount of people's hearts."

In the past, public opinion was monopolized by the aristocratic family and some Ming people.

For example, Mr. Shui Jing, Mr. Pang De, etc., whoever is said to be talented and virtuous, the status of those who are said can greatly increase.

Today, Zhang Ming's use of newspapers is more powerful than them, and he can even influence some public opinion.

Tian Feng sat next to him and drank two sips of tea. After a busy day, he could take a rest now.

"My lord, now all the people are asking for their lives and wanting to donate money, what do you think?"

"Then follow the public opinion and accept donations from the people. Only when they have contributed can they know how to love and care for Youzhou. If they contribute to Youzhou, they will cherish Youzhou even more in the future."

"I used my name to publish an announcement in the newspaper, saying that no matter how difficult it is for me, I am determined to save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water."

Zhang Ming is righteous Lingran, but he didn't pay anything.

Originally accepting the people was his established strategy.

Now it's just talking and talking big.

But this big talk is standing on the moral high ground, and it will have a huge impact.

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "My lord, you are really insidious. In this way, whoever stops you in Xuzhou will be the enemy of the world."
