The battle of public opinion began, and Zhang Yu's propaganda was overwhelming.

"You know, the emperor was so cruel that he burned hundreds of thousands of people."

"Those are all the people of a great man. How can he do that?"

"The son of heaven has no way. No wonder they are against him."

"Yes, even Liu Bei can kill Liu Biao, and few of their royal families are good people."

"Why does the prime minister still maintain the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

In Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, there are rumors everywhere. Instead of attacking Cao Cao, Zhang Yu attacked Liu Xie and put some of them on Liu Xie.

However, this makes Cao Cao more difficult.

"This Cao Xiu has no humanity. He should be killed."

"Zhang Yu offered a reward to kill Cao Xiu."

"Cao Xiu is a member of the Cao family. I don't know if the prime minister will kill Cao Xiu."

"They are all from the Cao family. They will certainly protect him."

In Cao Cao's territory, he not only attacked Liu Xie, but also Cao Xiu.

This makes Cao Cao very uncomfortable.

If you attack Cao Xiu, he will bear the responsibility in the end.

Cao Cao was very upset. He publicized it in advance and told the world that it was Zhang Yu who did it and that the fire was Zhang Yu's.

But within days, public opinion changed.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that most of the channels for Cao Cao's propaganda are time channels.

In fact, these aristocratic families all know what's going on. Although they publicized it, there was little response.

Zhang Yu is different. Among the people, there are a large number of intelligence personnel ambushed by Zhang Yu.

They publicize mainly through the grapevine and in the marketplace.

Rumors are terrible.

Before long, the propaganda was everywhere.

At the same time, Zhang Yu likes to tell stories when they publicize. In addition, among some scholars, Zhang Yu's intelligence system also has great influence.

Many of the students who went out of colleges and universities were classmates. Even if they were not classmates, they had received higher education together.

The huge influence and pressure made Cao Cao unexpected.

"Hateful, hateful."

After receiving the information, Cao Cao was very upset. Although he temporarily defeated Zhang Yu's plan to fight a war of attrition with him, his loss was also huge.

"How to break the current situation?" Cao Cao asked Wenwu.

"Lord, I think those who spread rumors will be arrested and chopped up." Xu Chu said.

Cao Cao shakes his head. It's obviously no good. It's too late.

The stories in the market are already wonderful.

What emperor wants to kill millions of people to worship heaven.

What emperor dreamt that God would punish him at night, and he needed millions of people's blood to sacrifice.

In a word, all kinds of strange stories spread among the people. They spread very fast and widely.

Originally, the emperor did not play much role, but now it has a huge negative impact on Cao Cao.

Cao Xiu and Cao Chun are naturally the executioners of the emperor, but Cao Chun is dead, and all the names are on Cao Xiu's back.

"It's said that the emperor is in the palace. He has to eat people's heart every day."

"Well, no wonder there are so many people missing around Xuchang every day."

"It's said that they will catch maidens, and they will have royal maidens every day..."

"He is the son of heaven, so naturally he can."

"It is said that the emperor will burn millions more."

"It's terrible. You can't go out at night."

All kinds of rumors continue to spread.

A few days later, Zhang Yu killed Xia Houdun outside the city of the state of Lu and in front of the graves of the soldiers.

Xia Houdun was an important general of Cao Cao. Hearing the bad news, Cao Cao was very sad and finally fell ill.

After Cao Cao fell ill, they retreated. Cao Cao and some of his troops directly withdrew to Xuchang.

After returning to Xuchang, Cao Cao did not dare to rest at all, and immediately summoned several of his advisers and Cao ang.

"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors, which spread rapidly. What can you do?" Asked Cao Cao.

"My Lord, my subordinates think that Cao Xiu should be dismissed from his post and punished appropriately to calm down the situation." Xun you said.

"No way." Cheng Yu immediately stood up against it and said, "in this way, it is tantamount to admitting our mistakes, which will be even more unfavorable to us at that time."

But Xu you said, "otherwise, if we can't change the direction of public opinion now, it will only be bad for us if we go on like this."

There is no perfect way for people to argue.

Public opinion is controlled by Zhang Yu, and they are passive.

At this time, man Pang stood up and said, "Lord, if the emperor comes out to bear all the responsibilities, we can calm down all the comments."

As soon as the words came out, the people stopped talking.

It's a little big.

After that, the emperor was abandoned.

The emperor can no longer control public opinion, let alone the princes.

This son of heaven has become a chicken rib of Cao Cao, and even, if it is not handled properly, it may affect himself.

At this time, Jia Xu stood up and said, "Lord, we should let the emperor return to Luoyang."

"Ah ~"

"This..."

"Lord..."

Jia Xu's words were more powerful, and several people didn't react, and then they started to scream.

Let the emperor go to Luoyang, there is no mistake in name.

But he went. It was controlled by the Xiliang army.

Guo Si is still in possession.

The son of heaven is gone, not far from death.

Today's emperor has no effect, Cao Cao this is to let the emperor to die, and then shake off the pot.

At this time, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

When the emperor is dead, there will be no orthodox successor in the world. No one can succeed to the throne.

Then, the world is the world of princes, even the emperor in name.

Xun Yu closed his eyes and his heart was dripping with blood.

He may be the only one in Cao Cao's camp who is still loyal to the Han Dynasty.

He is a wise man. He knows that it is useless to say anything at this time. Once Cao Cao decides, then the great man will perish.

Xun Yu didn't know where to go. He stayed here for the emperor, not for Cao Cao.

If the emperor is driven to Luoyang, will he follow or not?

Go along and fall into the hands of the Xiliang army. You can imagine the end. If you don't go, are you still the people of the Great Han?

The emperor has become a tool for them to fight for. Now it's useless and they have to throw it away.

The princes have been crowned.

The emperor did not have much authority.

Now, if the emperor carries those names

Xun Yu did not dare to imagine that he had the talent of Wang Zuo, but he was not born at the right time.

Cao Cao didn't make up his mind. This matter had a great influence, and he didn't know how to do it well.

Cao Cao said to Cao ang, "aung'er, you can't be merciful to fight for supremacy in the world. However, we have reached the most dangerous time. If you are a father at this time, you will be taken advantage of by the enemy, but you can't make up your mind to be a father this time."

Cao ang said: "my father, I didn't expect that Zhang Yu's business was so deep that he could quickly arouse public opinion everywhere. We have lost once, and we have to pay a price."

Cao Cao shook his head and didn't know what he meant. After a long pause, he said, "you must not take part in this matter. Being a father is already old. Even if you have thousands of names on your back, it will disappear when you die, but you are different."
