"Anyang is calling!"
"Li Xian kills without blinking an eye!"
"Li Xian wants to rebel!"
…
Various kinds of information spread in the closed city of Nanliang Prefecture. Faced with official propaganda, some people sneered, some didn't care, some were confused, and some believed it.
With continuous publicity and more people coming forward to testify, the lie is getting closer to the truth; however, in order for the lie to completely and thoroughly become the truth, there is still one thing missing - that is to let Anyang's own people come forward to tell their stories!
Under the planning of Li Yuanming, Zhao Guoshan's top strategist, the first batch of 13 businessmen from Anyang "voluntarily" came forward to share their experiences.
For a moment, the crowd in Nanliang Prefecture surged, and everyone was moving towards the front of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yuanming looked coldly at Zhang Yunhai and the other thirteen merchants, "Everyone, the names of your men are in your hands. You know what to do. Get out."
The thirteen businessmen had greasy faces and were dressed in fancy clothes, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.
Zhang Yunhai took a step forward and said, "Everyone, I am Zhang Yunhai. I think many people know my 'Pengcheng Wanli Trading Company', and many people also know me. What do you think of me?"
There are naturally no clear answers below.
Zhang Yunhai also knew this. After hearing all the various voices below, he continued to speak loudly: "I, Zhang Yunhai, am not a good person, but I am also upright. Today, I am exposing a scandal at the cost of my life. Zhao Guoshan captured 13 of us and all the caravan members, and threatened them with their lives... Uh..."
A flying sword flew over Zhang Yunhai's neck and Zhang Yunhai died instantly.
Li Yuanming's face turned grim. He never expected that such a mistake would happen!
It's over now. All the previous plans have completely collapsed; but there is still a chance to save it. If the next 12 people all point out that Anyang has problems and that Anyang detained Zhang Yunhai's family as a threat, it will still be feasible.
However, the truth always makes people crazy. Then the two people accused Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Luliang County, of committing crimes and committing heinous crimes.
The people all around were already filled with outrage, and there were even voices of ridicule. It was obvious that Li Yuanming and Zhao Guoshan had become a joke.
Beside him, Guo Guibang led the few remaining soldiers with grim expressions. The previous defeat, betrayal, and the heavy casualties of his soldiers had already made Guo Guibang violent, and he had an irreconcilable hatred for Anyang! The one who had just made the move was Guo Guibang!
Li Yuanming next to him had an equally cold expression and was equally furious. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation! His tactics that had always been successful before had failed miserably today!
Since things have come to this, Li Yuanming also let go, "Everyone, Anyang has sent troops to attack us, and we have the responsibility to protect the city. From now on, every household must send one person to assist in the defense. General Guo Guibang, this matter is left to your supervision!"
“Understood!” Guo Guibang immediately led his troops to go door to door to “recruit soldiers” - to conscript young men.
Of course, during the conscription process, Guo Guibang was humiliated several times! Don't forget, this is the fairyland, there is no shortage of talented people among the people.
