Chapter 113 Propaganda Offensive ([-] Recommendations Plus Updates)
After killing those dying yellow scarf thieves, Liu Bian came to the dead and seriously injured soldiers of the Forbidden Army one after another, and said to them in a choked voice, looking very sad.

"Thank you, Your Highness, we are willing to die for His Highness without regret."

Finally, some soldiers of the imperial army were touched and began to cry. A seriously injured soldier of the imperial army broke a leg, but he still sat stubbornly on the ground, and now he cried loudly while crying.

"Swear to follow His Highness."

"Swear to follow His Highness."

More soldiers of the imperial army shouted, and Bao Hong's expression changed drastically. However, he glanced around and found that there was nothing unusual about Gan Ning, and quite a few soldiers of the imperial army did not shout, so he was relieved. .

However, he didn't know that when the imperial soldiers started shouting, Gan Ning secretly made a gesture to the right assistant battalion, so most of the imperial soldiers didn't follow and shouted, but they were precisely to the crown prince. The most loyal part of Liu Bian, only they understood the meaning of Gan Ning's gesture.

"Thank you everyone. As long as everyone works together, no matter how rampant the yellow turban thieves are, we can eliminate them. But here, I would like to say that not all of the yellow turban thieves are like the ones you met today. There are quite a few of them who came to such vicious and vicious people, and quite a few of them joined after they were bewitched by ordinary people because of their poverty. So when we meet these people in the future, we have to let them live, as long as they are willing to surrender. Today’s turmoil in the world is not entirely due to the common people, it’s one reason that the officials from all over the country failed to manage the common people well and failed to bring them a stable life, and there are other reasons within the imperial court, so the common people cannot be entirely blamed.”

Liu Bian's painful voice rang out, and many soldiers of the imperial army fell silent. They saw that Prince Liu Bian's face was also full of tears. Although they didn't understand, they were very moved.

"As the prince of a big man, I have the responsibility to think about the happy life of the people in the world. Although I have to use swords and soldiers now, I believe that as long as everyone works together to build our homeland, everyone's life will be better and better in the future. War It will decrease, and the world will be peaceful.”

After a while, Liu Bian wiped away the tears on his face, and then directed everyone to start burying the corpses on the spot and helping the wounded.Han Zhigong, a soldier from Yingchuan County, took three hundred soldiers from the county to help clean up the battlefield, and quickly buried all the corpses, and then sent fifty soldiers to send the seriously injured back to Xiangcheng for medical treatment. When the army returns to the division, take them back to Luoyang.

Soon, the officials from Shangcai came. Among them there was only one magistrate, and there were no magistrates and magistrates. There were also some other officials who were killed when the Yellow Turbans captured the county.

Liu Bian looked at Wei Fangcheng, the county magistrate of Shangcai, and found that he was not on the side of the Yellow Turban Bandits. After asking, he found out that he happened to be going to Runan County at that time, but he learned that Runan County was captured by the Yellow Turban Bandits on the way. He had to hurry back, but when he returned to Shangcai, Shangcai had already been visited by a small group of thieves with a yellow scarf.

They not only robbed everywhere, but also killed officials everywhere. Except for special reasons, most of the officials who escaped had surrendered to the Yellow Turban side. This immediately aroused Liu Bian's high attention, because this was definitely not a little things.

"Lord Wei, Shang Cai Ling is no longer here. Since you are the only official in charge in the county, then the king will appoint you to temporarily act as Shang Cai Ling, and lead the people of the county to act as soon as possible to report the evil deeds of the Yellow Turbans. In the whole county, at the same time organize the young and middle-aged people in the county to form a militia, and divide them into multiple teams to patrol the whole county. Once they find traces of the yellow scarves, they will send out a signal to notify the surrounding people to take shelter. Of course, if the people in the whole county can be mobilized Just avoid the county seat, and don’t leave anything outside for the Yellow Turban Bandit. In this way, as long as you guard the county seat, you can prevent the Yellow Turban Bandit from harming the people.”

While making arrangements, Liu Bian observed the officials around Wei Fangcheng, and found a few officials who had devoted themselves to the Yellow Turban, but most of them were still interested in the imperial court, so he pointed out a few people and asked them to temporarily act as county magistrates. , county lieutenant, long history and other positions.

"Now is an extraordinary period, so we must do extraordinary things. As long as you work hard to make Shangcai County survive this difficult period, your agency positions can be converted into official positions."

When they saw Liu Bian referring to him, those officials couldn't believe it at first, but after hearing Liu Bian's words, they were all overjoyed, and immediately respectfully expressed that they would do things seriously and live up to His Highness's trust.

"Well, we won't stay in Shangcai County for a long time, but we are not very familiar with the situation in the surrounding counties, so I would like to ask Mr. Wei to introduce how many counties in the surrounding counties have fallen, and how many counties have the same situation as the Are you similar in Shangcai County?"

However, Wei Fangcheng didn't know much, he just mentioned several nearby counties, some of which suffered banditry just like Shangcai County, but some counties defended the county seat and were not attacked by Yellow Turban bandits. Those who broke through the county government, such as Xiping County, Zhaoling County, Ruyang County, Yang'an County and other counties.

"Master Wei, after we leave, I hope you will do one more thing when rectifying the county government, and that is to report the news that the king personally led the forbidden army to suppress the bandits, and the heinous things the bandits have done in Shangcai County. The evil deeds, written in large quantities in the form of official documents, sent to the surrounding counties, and the counties of the Bank of Communications must pass on to other surrounding counties, this is the king's warrant."

After Liu Bian thought about it, he issued another order to Wei Fangcheng. He wanted to quickly spread the evil deeds of the Yellow Turbans throughout Runan County in this way, so that the Yellow Turbans would lose their mass base and make them nervous. In this way, various contradictions may erupt.

This is a modern means of propaganda, which was not easy to achieve in the society at that time, but Liu Bian ordered the counties to be responsible for spreading it to the surrounding counties. In a period of time, it will spread throughout Runan County. This will cause a huge disturbance in Runan County where the Yellow Turbans are rampant, and will have a great impact on the mass base of the Yellow Turbans.

Perhaps, this unimaginable method of the Yellow Turban Thieves will be the key to the Yellow Turban Thieves' failure in the end. Of course, the officials of Shangcai, including Wei Fangcheng, can't understand the purpose of Prince Liu Bian's doing this, but they dare not ask more , had to follow Liu Bian's instructions to complete.
