Chapter 391 (2/2)

Wei Ran suddenly smiled, ”I will not start a military because of anger. My father taught me this. We still have to fight in this war, but we can't fight when it's most unfavorable to us. ”

Wei Ran didn't send troops rashly. He used too many troops in the past two years. He hardly repaired for a long time since he helped his adoptive father defeat Qidan.

All the way to Talos in the western regions, he came back to participate in the anti rebel war, and the army was already exhausted. At this time, no matter the morale of the army or the physical strength of the officers and soldiers, they will not keep up.

Therefore, although Wei Ran said he wanted to attack Chang'an, he actually arranged logistics according to military cultivation. At the same time, Li Chengye's life deeds, achievements and his unjust death were written into a Pinghua script. Bribe Jianghu artists, expand public opinion, compile the life of Li Chengye, including the final unjust killing of the imperial court, into operas, and publicize it to all Daofu, prefectures and counties in the world along with Pinghua.

The Tianmo sect has made great efforts to publicize here. Their branch forces in the Jianghu are not small, and they are just used by Wei Ran.

Coupled with the scarcity of folk entertainment in this era, such arranged operas did not become popular until the Yuan Dynasty. Once spread, it naturally aroused the pursuit of many bottom people and increased the spread speed in the market.

It also made the unjust killing of Li Chengye widely known. As a result, it was known to all States in China in less than half a year. People all over the world say that the imperial court is fatuous, eunuchs are in power, and even loyal ministers and famous generals die unjustly.

Although the imperial court came up with various ways to stop the publicity, the authority of the imperial court is not as good as that of the former Emperor. Its control over the local area is very weak. When it goes out of Guanzhong, it can't even control the grass-roots level of Duji road.

Although when the death of Li Chengye spread to the capital, the emperor, Zhang Zhen and others had a good idea to push the murderer on Luo Qingxuan and his wife and the Yellow nest rebels, they also increased public opinion publicity in this regard, so that the upper class of the Tang Dynasty and the army began to think that it was the Yellow nest rebels and Luo Qingxuan's husband and wife.

It is reasonable to say that the imperial court has seized the opportunity of public opinion, and the publicity behind Wei Ran should not have a great effect.

But in fact, the propaganda of the imperial court was limited to the residence newspaper and word of mouth. The scope of communication is limited and only concentrated among some people in the upper class.

In addition, these people are not stupid. Luo Qingxuan was born in a famous and decent school. He was a famous righteous Xia in the world at that time. Many people have received his favor. Cao Yuzhe is also the son of the literati family in Jiangnan. His identity class and the Yellow nest rebels are natural enemies.

The alliance between the two of them and the Huangchao rebels is itself full of doubts. Moreover, these people also learned from some channels (from Li Guangsi) that there was another inside story.

Therefore, most of them are skeptical about the official news.

Wei Ran started his propaganda from the illiterate people at the grass-roots level, expanded and fermented public opinion from bottom to top, and then pointed out the suspicious points of Li Chengye's assassination one by one in the form of opera Pinghua.

The conclusion of the imperial propaganda is refuted and analyzed by strict logic and emotional mobilization, and then judged by the viewer himself. In short, it is to ask the body, how is this country? I am trapped in thinking about that set of well-known means.

These methods are refined in the information age. Dealing with most illiterate people in this age is almost an artifact that hits the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the official conclusion was quickly smashed. After six months of fermentation, the whole world accused the imperial court of wrongfully killing the generals. The people did not dare to clamor for the emperor to be responsible, but the words calling for Zhang Zhen and Tian Lingzi to die were noisy on the cloud.

The changes after the fermentation of public opinion have won widespread sympathy for Fenglin army, which has been standing still. Originally, when they sent troops directly, they would be regarded as chaotic officials and thieves by the world and fight together.

But now, things are different.
