The incident actually happened when Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, and the Imperial Guards went to Xiangyang City to visit Liu Biao. At that time, the outer city was also sealed because Liu Qi's spies were exposed.
After that, Cai Mao and the other nobles even used Liu Qi's name to pass false information to Liu Qi, saying that Liu Biao's condition had stabilized.
Fortunately, Liu Qi had also prepared a double verification standard in advance to prevent the possibility of his spies being exposed. Finally, when the spies met again, Liu Qi discovered that the spies in Xiangyang City were acting strangely.
This means that Liu Qi could no longer obtain more information about Liu Biao from Xiangyang City. Liu Qi's own premeditated plans were exposed. It can be said that Xiangyang City had a basic understanding of Liu Qi's plans.
Under such circumstances, Liu Qi anxiously looked for the messenger sent by Jiangxia's Yang Rui and said that he must immediately take action or he can only sit and wait for death.
"Then agree to Liu Qi's request and prepare to send out troops. However, before that, we must make a comprehensive announcement. Through Ethereal Ninja, Commerce Alliance, Han Imperial Edict, and other channels, we must let the entire civilized region know about the situation in Jingzhou.
Of course, we must control the scope of public opinion. We will say that Liu Biao wanted to become the Emperor but was stopped by Liu Qi and wanted to send out troops to eliminate Liu Qi. The Han Imperial Family and our side will call for all forces to assist Liu Qi and we will immediately send out troops.
However, as for the actual dispatch of troops, we need to delay it for one or two days. When Liu Qi is ready to send out troops, it will not be too late for us to send out troops. It will also prove that we are not prepared. What do you all think? "
After receiving the news from Jiangxia, Yang Rui organized Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, and the others to discuss for a while. In the end, Yang Rui made a summary.
"Milord, that is how it should be."
"That is correct."
“.....”
Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, and the others all agreed. Then Yang Rui passed down the order to carry out the tasks one by one. As for the Han Imperial Family, he had to personally make a trip to the Han Imperial Family.
In this way, Yang Rui did not move his troops, but he did the work of public opinion first. Several channels were limited in operation. In the game world where information was relatively blocked, the role of these channels could be imagined.
First, the Ethereal Ninja soldiers of Yang Rui. There were a total of 50000 Ethereal Ninjas in almost every corner of the three civilized regions. They were the first to spread the news, they could spread the news and spread......
Chen Lin was the first to organize the public opinion and passed it to every Ethereal Secret Ninja through the Imperial Guards. The Ethereal Secret Ninja only needed to spread the word and get rid of it.
The second channel was the merchant alliance. Yang Rui simply called for an internal trade fair in the merchant alliance. At the same time, in the process of inviting and spreading the news, he could also spread the news of Jingzhou. The wording could still be used by Chen Lin for the Ethereal Ninjas.
In fact, under the background of the game, the most traditional and most important way of publicity, apart from the official propaganda, was the radiation of the news brought by the merchants. Yang Rui could use the merchant alliance to make good use of this line.
Perhaps the merchant alliance members' speed of spreading the news was not as fast as the Ethereal Ninjas, but it could ensure that the news of Jingzhou continued to spread and increase the credibility of the news.
The third channel was to use the name of the Han Dynasty. This was the most official and reliable channel. Although there were many big and small factions, none of them publicly said that they would not follow the orders.
After Yang Rui met with the little Emperor, he told him about the matter. There was no way the little Emperor would not agree. Although he was smart, he knew that Yang Rui deliberately did this. Moreover, Liu Biao was also from the Han Dynasty, so there was no way he could do anything about it.
In order to ensure the effect of the announcement, Yang Rui urged the little Emperor to immediately hold a court meeting to discuss this matter. It must be known that previously, he had taken the initiative to hold a court meeting once a month because it was too troublesome.
The three propaganda machines were activated at the same time. The reply to Liu Qi was also sent out. After half a day, Yang Rui returned from the court meeting and began to prepare the army.
Of course, Yang Rui's message to Liu Qi was that the army was already prepared. They were just waiting for him to agree on a time to move.
With such information, Liu Qi could not wait any longer after receiving the news. He agreed to have all the armies set off towards Xiangyang City the next morning. He himself also set off from Jiangxia Commandery, heading straight for Xiangyang City.
Liu Qi's reason for sending the army was to clean up his father. However, in order to be consistent with Yang Rui's propaganda, Liu Qi changed the reason for sending the army to counterattack Liu Biao's encirclement under Yang Rui's suggestion.
The next morning, from Hankou and Wulin, two cities near the Sanjiang Mouth of Jiangxia, a group of soldiers and horses rushed towards the South County of Jingzhou. The navy at the Sanjiang Mouth could be said to have covered the sun. The horse stance from the direction of Wulin City also covered the sky.
These two groups of troops were Liu Qi's' counterattack 'against Liu Biao's troops. If it was not for Yang Rui's' arms sales', Liu Qi would not have a foothold in Jingzhou.
This time, Liu Qi also went all out. He brought almost 300,000 troops with him and did not care about Sanjiangkou. He did not care if Jiangxia would fall into the hands of Gangdong's old rival, Sun Jian.
According to the previous agreement, the stability of Gangdong and Sun Jian would be coordinated by Yang Rui. However, Liu Qi did not have much hope for the coordination. He did not believe that Sun Jian would stay put during the civil strife in Jingzhou.
However, Liu Qi also had his own considerations. He judged that the King of Donghai would take advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to take over Yuzhou in one fell swoop. He also specifically proposed to give Yuzhou to the King of Donghai.
At the same time, it was impossible for Gangdong and Sun Jian not to be tempted by Yuzhou. Liu Qi believed that after his forces withdrew from Sanjiangkou, Gangdong would not be pressured and would likely have friction with the King of Donghai because of Yuzhou.
This was the best case scenario that Liu Qi expected. His own goal was only the core area west of Xiangshui and north of the Yangtze River. As for Jiangxia, he could fight for it in the future.
"Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! "
