The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 986 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

After Liu Bian clearly stated the reason for the public trial, the civil and military officials were relieved.

I think how wise and powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was back then, but in his later years, he was very happy with his achievements, and he kept launching wars to make achievements in order to rectify his name as a hero.However, it brought a heavy burden to the people, and later had to issue an imperial edict to apologize.

What the ministers were afraid of was that Liu Bian, like his ancestor Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was so rejoicing that he frequently launched wars with foreign nations and won victories, so that later history books would praise him greatly.However, the victory was not achieved. Instead, it consumed national power and people's power, following the footsteps of the former Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

Consolidate the hearts of the people, deter the princes, barbarians from all directions, promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and consolidate the Han regime. Liu Bian's reasons for saying these are enough to win the support of the officials.

Wei Xiaokuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please instruct the Ministry of Rites in detail how to proceed."

Liu Bian said in a deep voice: "Zhu Guishuang is a big country in the west, with 500 million people and more than [-] troops. Although it is not as powerful as the Han, it is one of the few big countries in the world today. During the period before arriving in Luoyang, you made a big publicity, publicizing the strength of Guishuang and the details of the war.

But remember, don't make false propaganda, and tell the people what happened in the war.My purpose is to let the people know how powerful I am, and how rare it is to defeat Guishuang, but it is not to let the people be arrogant and blindly think that I am invincible! "

Perhaps for the big man in the heyday of history, Guishuang was not so powerful.At that time, the Dahan had 5000 million people, and the people in Guishuang only reached one-tenth of the Dahan.

However, during the Three Kingdoms period in history, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was similar to that of Guishuang. Due to the tens of hundreds of years of war, the population of the Han Dynasty decreased sharply, and the population also dropped to several million. The population of the Shu Han alone was less than 100. Ten thousand.

However, although the current big man is still not equal to the population of the peak period of the big man.The population of each state plus the population of the newly established Xizhou, and the alien Hu people accepted by Youzhou and Bingzhou, the population has only reached about 3000 million.However, the prefectures and counties under Liu Bian's current rule are very rich, and there are food exchanged by Liu Bian from the system, as well as developed commerce, and a strong military force of more than 100 million.It can be said that the comprehensive national strength actually exceeds that of the big man at his peak.

However, just looking at the population, military strength, and geographical location in the west, Guishuang can be regarded as a powerful country.Breaking through the capital of such a country with [-] troops and capturing its ruler is worthy of special mention.

"No, I understand!" After hearing Liu Bian's explanation, Wei Xiaokuan immediately understood.

Propaganda should not be taken lightly or seriously. If it is too light, it will not achieve the effect of uniting the hearts of the people. If it is too heavy, it will make the people blindly think that the big man is extremely powerful and supercilious. This way, they cannot bear the failure.

Therefore, the only way to achieve this effect is to publicize the real situation and not resort to falsehoods, so that the people will not be arrogant or impetuous, and have a heart of attachment and patriotism to the big man.

After going to court, Wei Xiaokuan mobilized his people to build momentum.

First of all, in the downtown area, the official announcement was posted, stating that the Guishuang Wang Bodiao would be publicly reviewed and distributed in a few days.

Next to it, there are officials from the Ministry of Rites explaining.

What Wei Xiaokuan is best at is controlling people's hearts. He has thought out his words to the officials in advance, and he has not resorted to deceit.

The most powerful place for the people is to spread rumors, echo what others say, and infinitely exaggerate the facts.If the announcements were usually posted and there were no officials to explain them, I am afraid that Li Cunxiao's attack on the capital of Guishuang and the capture of Bodiao would be infinitely exaggerated.

For example, say that Li Cunxiao is three feet tall, has three heads and six arms, or that Guishuang Kingdom is a small country, and its people are all feet tall, and Li Cunxiao kicked through the gate of Guishuang City.Perhaps the rumors are even more exaggerated than this?
But now there are officials sent by the government to explain in detail the course of the war and the strength of Guishuang, and these people will face up to this matter.

The officials in front of the official list were full of emotion and said impassionedly: "Guishuang is indeed powerful, but I am not easy to provoke. His Majesty warned Guishuang before the battle, saying: Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. Shuang is still stubborn, and now he has finally suffered such retribution.

But your majesty is the king of a country, and you must keep your word. Guishuang Wang Bodiao insists on invading my big man.Therefore, His Majesty decided that when Bodiao was transported to Luoyang, His Majesty would publicly try Guishuang King Bodiao's crimes in the center of Luoyang City, and let other countries and foreigners know that I am a strong man, and I am not easy to provoke.

At that time, everyone can go to watch the ceremony and join in the grand event together! "

"It's a great fortune to be born in a big man!"

"With a big man protecting us, what kind of foreign race or foreign country, if we don't dare to go one step further, we can sit back and relax."

"Guishuang is really daring. He dared to offend us big men. Now he has finally received retribution. On the day of the public trial, I will definitely go and see it."

"Such a big victory, should be fully understood. Everyone, Zixuan Pavilion, I am treating you today, and everyone can open their stomachs to drink."

"Fart, you're the only one with money. I've won such a big victory in the outside world. I'm happy today. I'll pay for your drinks!"

After the official's explanation, many people felt the honor of being born in a great man and the strength of a great man.And more people took the initiative to open their pockets and invite relatives and friends to drink in nearby restaurants. If they have no money, they also went to nearby teahouses to drink tea and share their joy with friends.

For a while, the restaurants and teahouses in Luoyang City were full of seats, and they were all discussing the victory over Guishuang and the public trial of Bodiao a few days later.

For several days, people in Luoyang were discussing this matter, and the people of Luoyang became stronger than ever, and even the people in nearby cities rushed to Luoyang after hearing the news, hoping to watch this grand event.

Another morning, Wei Xiaokuan said to Liu Bian with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, people from other nearby cities in Luoyang City have already come here. I'm afraid that the school grounds in the city will not be able to arrange so many people to come to watch the ceremony, and When there are more people, we can't prevent the stampede..."

Liu Bian said in a deep voice: "It is true that the center of Luoyang city can only arrange ten thousand people to come here at most, but I have hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang. How about this, postpone the time of the public trial for a month, and wait in Luoyang A high-level school field was built outside the city, and Luoyang was empty outside the city, and it would not be a problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

And in a month, I will send troops to Yanxu. According to reports from spies, Yizhou and Mongolia are ready to move. Your Ministry of Rites can send people to Yizhou, Jiangdong, Mongolia and other forces to send invitations, and let them send people to come Come to watch the ceremony, just let me kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!
But one month is too long after all, maybe people from other states and counties will also come to Luoyang, so it is ordered that during this period, people from other states and counties are not allowed to come to Luoyang without reason! "

"No!" Naturally, the ministers had no objection to Liu Bian's order.If it can deter Mongolia, as well as Yizhou, Jiangdong and other forces this time, and no one will send troops to help Zhao Guangyi attack, it will save a few wars at that time.

Following Liu Bian's order, the people of Luoyang were very happy about the postponement of the trial. They knew that Liu Bian was doing it for their own good.And re-establishing a school trial outside the city means that more people can be accommodated to watch the ceremony.

The people in the nearby cities complained quite a bit, because Liu Bian did not allow them to come to Luoyang without reason.

And Li Cunxiao had secretly escorted Bodiao and others to the vicinity of Luoyang City. Liu Bian asked Li Cunxiao to arrange these people to be placed outside Luoyang City, so as not to disturb the people when they entered the city.

Bodiao's confidants are all executed, and the supporters of other forces are also executed?
As for those who are pro-Han, Liu Bian intends to keep them and return them to Guishuang in the future, and preside over them to give money, food and grass, so that they can build up the strength to be close to the big Han in Guishuang.To put it bluntly, it is to support the puppet army like Japan did during the Anti-Japanese War.

As for Bo Tiao, Liu Bian had already planned to execute him publicly, so he didn't even look at it, and he didn't ask Jin Yiwei to interrogate him, as long as he ensured that Bo Tiao would not die.

After a period of time, Mongolia, Yizhou, Jiangdong, Yanzhou, and even Jurchen also received invitations from Liu Bian one after another.

Zhao Guangyi's Yanzhou was the closest to Liu Bian's forces, and he was the first prince to receive Liu Bian's invitation.

Zhao Guangyi received Liu Bian's invitation, but he was furious: "Liu Bian made it clear that he wanted to make an example of others, and his next target was me. He even sent someone to let me go to watch the ceremony. It's really unreasonable. Come here! Tell me that Liu Bian's envoy was killed and sent to Luoyang on the day of his trial, and I killed chickens and monkeys to establish prestige? I refused to let him do what he wanted, and I wanted to lose his face."

"My lord, this must not be the case. Liu Bian mobilized his troops for the sake of judging Bo Tiao. If you ruin Liu Bian's plan by doing this, he will...increase his troops and try his best to attack the lord." Cheng Yuwen, an old strategist. Yan, quickly came out to dissuade.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Guangyi laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Cheng Yu, I think you are an old fool. Even if I don't provoke Liu Bian, his soldiers and horses from Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Hanoi are just to watch." He is going to mobilize a large army to attack me. Do I have to give Liu Bian some face and send people to cooperate with his plan? Hmm?"

Cheng Yu was over sixty years old, after hearing Zhao Guangyi's words, he hesitated to speak, and sighed helplessly: "Since the lord insists on this, then send me to destroy Liu Bian's plan at that time. The old man is old and has no Find a way to plan and go out with the army. Why not do something for the Lord while you can move now."

Cheng Yu is Zhao Kuangyin's confidant, Zhao Guangyi has never liked it, so he said immediately after hearing the words: "Since Zhongde resigned on his own initiative, then I will trouble you to go there in person."

Seeing this situation, all the counselors of His Highness secretly thought in their hearts that Cheng Zhongde might never come back after he left.
