Of course, lies are not credible, but the so-called "true lies" that adapt to people's hearts have an extremely broad market.
Human beings generally only believe in things they want to believe and are not willing to believe things they do not believe. This statement is actually what most Song Jun is thinking.
Therefore, Zhao Yucheng does not create or produce rumors, he is just the summarizer and porter of rumors.
The rumors were taken from the Song Army and used by the Song Army to create a style of exporting to domestic sales. Of course, it also had very good results.
At least this rumor spread very quickly in the Song Army camp, just like a damn virus. It spread from ten to ten and to a hundred, covering the entire audience - Qi Fang's old troops - in minutes.
Everyone was already living in fear, and now that there were rumors, they were even more frightened. They were always worried that Shao Hongyuan was going to launch a liquidation against everyone, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
It was still a liquidation initiated in an upright manner.
This is the most deadly, and one cannot even resist, otherwise it will be considered a rebellion, and one will be put to death.
The mood of most Song troops began to change, and their fear of Shao Hongyuan also gradually changed under the promotion of rumors and thoughtful people.
They developed feelings of hatred towards Shao Hongyuan.
But when Shao Hongyuan heard this rumor and was shocked, it was already too late.
Rumors spread throughout almost the entire military camp that Shao Hongyuan was planning to purge Qi Fang's old troops. However, Shao Hongyuan and his men were the last to know because they were in a place where news was most closed.
Shao Hongyuan was shocked. He felt that although such rumors were nonsense, they well addressed the Song Army's biggest problem at present and were very likely to lead to horrific results.
"Damn it! Who is spreading rumors? Find out for me immediately! Also, release the news immediately and say that I have no intention of doing that! The whole army must settle down immediately, I will not retaliate against anyone! To Qi Fang The trial of the old ministry is over!”
Shao Hongyuan ordered his subordinates to investigate the spreaders of the rumors and refute them at the same time.
But as the saying goes, spreading rumors can only take a long time to refute them. People are more willing to believe what they believe. Rumors have already occupied the ideological high ground. It is too difficult for those who want to refute rumors to overcome difficulties.
More importantly, Shao Hongyuan should not send people to investigate the rumor spreaders with great fanfare at this time. He only needs to refute the rumors.
At this time, the high-profile investigation of the communicator will only make the already nervous soldiers even more nervous and even fearful, making them more convinced that the content of the rumors is true.
Even if you want to deal with the rumor spreader, you should adopt an attitude of settling accounts after the fall, and deal with it after the incident has passed. This will achieve better results. The most important thing at this time is to be calm.
For the Song soldiers in Qi Fang's old department, the high-pressure military camp life has already made them nervous. Now such rumors and Shao Hongyuan's actions have made the Song soldiers in Qi Fang's old department even more nervous. They don't know when they will take their turn. Until he was punished by his superior, he always lived in fear.
A moderate amount of fear is the key to control. As a veteran, Shao Hongyuan should know this, but in this situation, he may not be less afraid than the soldiers.
The soldiers were afraid of him, and he was afraid of the soldiers, and the situation became increasingly uncontrollable.
The trigger that ignited the conflict between the two sides completely broke out was that when Shao Hongyuan's trusted general Wang Chao led people to investigate the people who spread the rumors, they happened to catch a junior officer who was originally from Qi Fang's army.
When Wang Chao caught him, he was discussing the rumors with his subordinates. He said that he was worried about whether Shao Hongyuan would harm them. He said that it would be better to escape as soon as possible than to wait to die here, right?
While discussing the details of their escape, they were caught by Wang Chao who was passing by. As a close confidant of Shao Hongyuan, Wang Chao was strict in running the army and hated deserters and retreats. Now that he had caught this junior officer, of course he was furious.
He wanted to convict the officer on the spot for spreading rumors and attempting to escape, and was prepared to sentence him to death.
He begged Wang Chao not to kill him, and his subordinates also begged Wang Chao not to kill their leader. However, Wang Chao had always been selfless and said, "Don't think you can run away. If you kill him, you will also be waiting to be killed." Punish!
In order to frighten this group of soldiers who dared to challenge the authority of their superiors, Wang Chao executed the junior officer in front of them.
Bloody heads were thrown to the ground.
"Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be guilty of the same crime!"
Wang Chao's voice was very fierce and devoid of emotion at all.
This is great.
The soldiers' already tense nerves were completely broken.
Wang Chao's attitude and behavior completely angered the group of soldiers, so the group of soldiers decided to break the pot and fight to the death.
Just when Wang Chao was about to leave, they got rid of their anger and fear, drew their swords and fought with Wang Chao's soldiers, and shouted the slogan "Shao Hongyuan wants to kill", calling on the surrounding comrades to rise up and resist, not to be the chopping block of Shao Hongyuan. of fish meat.
The soldiers in Qi Fang's old army were already very nervous and nervous. Now when they hear such words and see such scenes, how can they remain calm?
So he took up arms and besieged Wang Chao and his soldiers.
Want to kill me?
I'll kill you first! ! !
There were few soldiers around Wang Chao, but more and more soldiers from Qi Fang's old troops gathered. Wang Chao's troops were gradually unable to resist Qi Fang's old troops, and they were all quickly killed, losing control of the situation.
After Wang Chao himself tried his best to kill seven or eight rebel soldiers, he was chopped into pieces by the angry old soldiers of Qi Fang.
Killing a general is a capital crime. In this case, if you don't do one thing and don't stop doing the other, it's the opposite!
"Kill Shao Hongyuan! Rebel! He won't let us live! We won't let him live either! Brothers! Charge!!!"
I don't know who raised their arms and shouted among the rebels. The rebels shouted loudly as if they had found their backbone, and then rushed towards the Chinese army tent where Shao Hongyuan was.
The Song Army camp was completely blown up at this moment.
They coerced the unsuspecting old troops of Qi Fang along the way, so that they also attacked Shao Hongyuan's Chinese army.
As a result, the number of rebellious troops increased, and chaos swept the entire Song Army camp. A large number of incited soldiers from Qi Fang's old army pounced on Shao Hongyuan like locusts.
The unlucky Shao Hongyuan had no intention of retaliating against anyone, but things still reached an irreversible point. When he found out about this, he immediately turned to stone and fell to the ground, but his cronies woke him up.
"General, this is the end of the matter. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Break out of the encirclement quickly and leave here!"
Shao Hongyuan thought about it with a sad expression.
"I was ordered by the emperor to encircle and suppress the rebels in Luoxiao Mountain. Now that the rebels have not been wiped out, the army is in chaos, and I can't stop it. Instead, I have to escape to save my life. After this defeat, how can I deal with myself?
Even if I return to the capital and face His Majesty and the Prime Minister, what else can I say? Can a general who has lost his troops and generals still survive? It is better to fight to the death here than to survive. "
Shao Hongyuan then decided to give up escaping and fight to the death here for a slim chance of survival.
