Chapter 50 The Magical Use of Rumors

When the captain saw Zhang Fei's smiling face, he immediately recalled how he had beaten him today.

So, a proud heart began to beat wildly.

"Even if I die of thirst, cold, or crash my head against the south wall today, I won't take a sip of your wine! This is my bottom line!"

Zhang Fei didn't know why the captain was suddenly angry, and he wasn't in the mood to understand why he was so stubborn.

He just gently put down the wooden box, then took out a bottle of wine and unscrewed the lid and drank half of the bottle in big gulps.

Zhang Fei drank half a bottle of wine, burped with satisfaction and smiled at the captain.

"Are you sure you don't want to drink?"

The rich aroma of the liquor had long since dispersed, and the captain and his soldiers couldn't help swallowing after smelling the aroma of the liquor.

After half a cup of tea, the captain held the wine bottle in one hand and the sauced pig's feet in the other.

"Oh my god, it's so fragrant! This wine is definitely the best! It's a good wine, and it smells so good!"

Zhang Fei saw the captain's drinking, and immediately grabbed his shoulder and said.

"Brother, we don't know each other today! It's all a misunderstanding, everything is in the wine, okay?"

The captain drank happily. It was the first time in his life that he drank such good wine.

Unless there is a deep hatred between men, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved with a drink.

If anything, drink a second meal!

Zhang Fei unscrewed a bottle of wine again and directly blew on the bottle with the captain.

The captain saw that Zhang Fei was so forthright, and he didn't want to lose face.

However, the captain's alcohol capacity is not very good, and he was already fainted after drinking two bottles.

Zhang Fei saw that he was almost done, so he also pretended to be drunk and complained.

"My elder brother is really short-sighted! What is He Jin? He, a general who has a relationship with his relatives, wants to recruit my elder brother to work for him? Damn! My elder brother is a serious Han clan!"

Although the captain was a little drunk, his mind was still clear.

So when he heard this, he immediately had an extra heart.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by that? According to you, General He Jin wants to win Master Liu over?"

Zhang Fei glanced at the captain, and immediately started his performance.

I have to say that Zhang Fei is definitely a person with fine details, and he is also a very talented performer.

While Zhang Fei and the captain were busy acting, Guan Yu had also sent people to spread a rumor around the military camp.

"Have you heard? The general wants to reuse the new Captain Zuo!"

"Are you talking about Liu Ce and Liu Ziqing who killed the Quartet in Jizhou?"

"That's right, that's him! The emperor specially transferred him from Jizhou, so it must be of great interest, right?"

"Then the general wants to win him over now, isn't that going to rob him from the emperor?"

"Isn't that right? I heard that the general is going to marry off his daughter! This is a waste of money!"

"Shh... You're smart, just know it, don't say it! Don't you want your head?"

In the training camps of the new Xiyuan army, almost all the soldiers were talking about Liu Ce.

So in less than half an hour, the captains and captains of the battalions also heard the news very quickly.

There are eight school lieutenants in the new Xiyuan army, originally set up by the emperor to divide the military power of General He Jin.

But now that the new army has not yet been established, the general has started to woo people. Once the news comes out, it will be fine!

He Jin summoned Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to the mansion overnight to discuss matters.

In He Mansion's study, He Jin was venting his dissatisfaction angrily.

"What the hell is going on? Why did such rumors spread in one night! It is said that I have recruited a general with a different name, and some people say that I want to marry my daughter to him! It is really unreasonable! Hateful! Hateful!"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't help but frown slightly at the same time when they saw He Jin's angry look.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurried up to persuade him.

"The general doesn't need to go to war like this, it's just some rumors in the market! It can't be true, don't be so angry..."

He Jin felt even more angry after hearing Yuan Shao's words, so he glared at him and said.

"You know what a fart! This matter has been spread so widely, it is inevitable that the emperor will not know. He was suspicious of me at first, but now it is better, and there is another excuse to clean up us!"

Yuan Shao felt depressed when he heard this, Cao Cao thought for a while and said.

"I have heard that Yuan Gonglu (Yuan Shu) brought an official to Liu Ce's mansion today. I heard that it seems to be related to some singer. Brother Benchu, is there such a thing?"

Yuan Shao was stunned immediately after hearing Cao Cao's words. He came to the General's Mansion as soon as he came out of the barracks, and he didn't even have time to go home!

"Yes... there is such a thing? Even if it is true, what does it have to do with the general?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head slowly and said.

"If there is a gap between the Yuan family and Liu Ce, then the rumors may have been deliberately released..."

He Jin frowned slightly when he heard this, then looked at Cao Cao with a slightly suspicious look and said.

"You mean, someone is deliberately taking advantage of the topic? Who is it? Could it be some of the Shi Chang servants?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head slowly and said.

"It's very possible! Liu Ce has a conflict with the Yuan family, and he has a conflict with you, the general. At this moment, someone leaked that the general wanted to win over Liu Ce, and he clearly wanted to push him elsewhere!"

He Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood what Cao Cao meant.

"These eunuchs are really smart, this trick is so sinister!"

After Yuan Shao pondered for a while, he frowned tightly and said.

"From Meng De's words, are those eunuchs trying to win over Liu Ce?"

Cao Cao nodded slowly after hearing this, and then looked at Yuan Shao with a mysterious look.

After Yuan Shao met Cao Cao's eyes, he quickly understood what he meant.

"General, leave this matter to us! You can rest assured."

After hearing this, He Jin nodded slowly, then said with a wave of his hand.

"Tomorrow, I have to be busy with safety precautions along the emperor's northern tour, and I will leave these trivial matters to you two! Don't let me down."

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao clasped their fists in agreement at the same time, then resigned and left He Jin's mansion.

The two cavalrymen walked side by side. After walking some distance away from He Mansion, Yuan Shao turned to look at Cao Cao and asked.

"Meng De! Why did you say half of what you said just now and leave the other half? What are you trying to tell?"

Cao Cao laughed after hearing this, and then said slowly to Yuan Shao.

"The Ten Permanent Attendants want to win over Liu Ce, and we want to let the world know that Liu Ce is in collusion with the eunuchs. Isn't this right in our hands! We just need to find someone to spread the truth, isn't it? The best of both worlds?"

Yuan Shao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, then he gave Cao Cao a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"Gao, really high! I have Mengde, just like Gaozu had Zhang Liang! Very good, very good! Hahaha..."

Yuan Shao smiled happily, but Cao Cao secretly sneered.

Yuan Shao has the ambition to compete in the world, so why not Cao Cao, but it is still unknown who will win the battle in the future...
