Chapter 400: The "plague" of public opinion sweeps Izumo!
The king of Izumo Kingdom was depressed and helpless, but the Xidu Witch Temple was a different story. Yao Yun, Bald Long, and the second elder Wu Tong looked relaxed and chatted and laughed happily.
Bald Dragon: "Your Majesty, I thought you were going to make things difficult for Izumo Country, but I didn't expect you to think of this. If the people of Izumo Country are saved by us, where will the majestic monarch of Izumo Country put his face?"
, Hahahaha, I really want to see what his expression looked like when he heard the news!"
The bald dragon smiled shamelessly.
The second elder Wu Tong nodded: "Except for Zhu Xiazi, the king does not like the kindness shown to the people by outsiders, and there is a risk of shaking the rule. If this poisonous plague had not endangered the foundation of the Izumo Kingdom, the Izumo King would not have accepted Xi at all.
The "goodwill" of the country, now in Uncle Yun's heart, he must be a mute who cannot tell how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis."
The bald dragon chuckled: "Your Majesty, you have shown kindness to the Izumo Kingdom, and you won't do anything next, right?"
Yao Yun smiled obligingly: "It depends on the situation. Let's make this move first and see if there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
Make up your mind, after all, gaining prestige in Izumo Country won’t be a bad thing.”
Reputation is not a very useful thing, but sometimes it plays a vital role, enough to be worth thousands of troops.
For example, Yao Yun took over Guanling City before, because many of the people in Guanling City were from the Youxi clan, and Yao Yun was the young master of the Youxi clan. In addition, it was widely spread that Yao Yun spent ten thousand gold to redeem the people.
Yun's reputation in Guanling City was so high that when he took over Guanling City, there was no resistance. The people were very convinced of Yao Yun and everything went smoothly.
This is the importance of people's support and reputation. Those who are on the right path will get more help, while those who are unfaithful will get less help.
This poison has ravaged the Izumo Kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of people are living in dire straits. Each one of them is waiting hard for the Izumo King's royal master to come to rescue. However, if the people can't wait, they must be extremely disappointed.
However, at this time of despair, Yao Yun descended with his heavenly troops to save the people from dire straits. What will the people of Izumo Kingdom think then?
Not only did the common people change their flags and surrender to Yao Yun, at least every common people would feel grateful to Xiyun Bo Yao Yun for his great kindness and virtue. If one day, Yao Yun had strong soldiers and strong horses and led his army out of the clouds, the resistance among the common people would be much smaller.
Perhaps with the fighting, many people from the Izumo Kingdom joined the Xi Kingdom.
The Prime Minister of the Izumo Kingdom, Yun Nakakaku, was worried about this when he heard it, but he had to agree. If he didn't agree, the people of the Izumo Kingdom would suffer heavy casualties and the national power would be greatly reduced.
This is an upright conspiracy.
Originally, Yao Yun could show kindness to the entire Southern Wilderness countries and increase his reputation to the extreme. However, when the emperor Mu entrusted him with the full power of disaster relief, he chose to exercise restraint and did not rush forward.
Saving the people of the Southern Wilderness was originally a good thing to gain reputation and accumulate merit. If Yao Yun's heart is not as good as a snake swallowing the elephant, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the kings of the Southern Wilderness countries and make the kings of various countries dislike it. This is not beautiful. Eating alone has always attracted people's attention.
People are not happy, but Yao Yun has no intention of stopping all the great achievements alone; on the other hand, Xidu does not have enough manpower, and the plague is eroding without delay, and Xiguo cannot take care of it at all.
Of course, if it is just "rescuing" Izumo Country, then Izumo Country's military strength is still very sufficient.
After a conversation, Yao Yun took the [Yu Shen Army] and set off to the Izumo Kingdom for disaster relief. Along with them were not only shaman boys but also many officials responsible for publicity. These officials all came from Tianwen Academy and learned a lot.
It is the organization, propaganda, etc., responsible for the organization and propaganda work in the military, and its role is equivalent to that of a political commissar.
This is Yao Yun's trump card.
Yao Yun's first priority when he went to Izumo Country to provide disaster relief this time was naturally to save innocent people. His second purpose was to show kindness to the people. Since he was doing a good deed and making the people feel grateful, a publicity team was indispensable.
of.
Not to mention brainwashing, it made the people of Izumo country fanatical and worship Yao Yun. At least it made them understand that it was the king of Xi country who saved them, but their king ignored them and even used force to control them and let them fend for themselves.
destroy.
Of course, the words are relatively straightforward, but the actual operation will inevitably be more subtle and obscure. This is the responsibility of those officials. Yao Yun has specially opened this course at Tianwen College. He is also trained in the propaganda and organizational work of Xiguo.
Yao Yun is full of expectations for the new batch of officials emerging in Xidu.
After arriving at the Izumo Kingdom, the Izumo Kingdom's garrison seemed to have already received the Izumo King's order and warmly welcomed Yao Yun and his party.
As the saying goes, the general of the border town is not the king of a country, but the prime minister of a country. He does not think so much when he is in charge of his own affairs. Seeing that the hostile Xi country can help the Izuyun country regardless of past suspicions, he is extremely grateful in his heart. He is very grateful to Yao.
Yun was even more admiring and treated him with the highest courtesy.
Yao Yun accepted unceremoniously, and then, under the leadership of the Izumo Kingdom soldiers, he went everywhere to help the victims. A few bowls of tea soup were enough to eliminate the poisonous poison they had contracted.
Within a few days, Yao Yun traveled all over Izumo Country and saved thousands of Izumo people. The corrosive plague in Izumo Country was also controlled in time.
The poisonous plague in Izumo Country has passed, but a new "plague" has been born and continues to spread. Wherever Yao Yun goes, a whirlwind of "the Master of Justice" will blow.
Every common person deeply remembers the name of Xi Guo and Xi Yunbo, and every common person who was rescued by Xi Guo's army is extremely grateful to Xi Guo.
"We were waiting for the king to send an army to rescue us, but we couldn't wait. Many people died tragically in the wild. Many people were clearly not infected with the poison and tried to escape. Guess what, they were beaten to death by the king's army.
.”
"Hey, don't blame the king. The king has no choice. Of course, other places cannot avoid the plague. For fear of being infected, they will not let us flee at will. We can only fend for ourselves."
"Fart! Fei Du is obviously a healer. Look at Uncle Xiyun. He cured us all at once. It's nothing! I think the king just ignores the people. He only cares about wine pools and meat forests. He doesn't care about it at all.
and the suffering of people’s livelihood.”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. In fact, we ordinary people can slander Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been diligent and caring for the people. He obviously has something hidden."
"What's the secret?"
"What do you know? This cannot be blamed on the king's inaction! I have heard that the poisonous poison is extremely troublesome and difficult to cure with ordinary medicine and stone. Even the emperor, Emperor Mu, visited the Southern Wilderness in person and failed to suppress the poisonous plague."
"You're talking nonsense. Uncle Xiyun was very relaxed when he saved everyone. After a few bowls of medicinal soup, Fei's poison could not save us. In a short time, everyone in the city was saved."
"I'm not lying. I have a distant relative who is an official in Yundu. I know it very well. It is said that Uncle Xiyun found the magic medicine to restrain the poison in the wilderness, so we can be saved."
"Oh, one more thing, I heard that Xiguo and our Izumo country have always had conflicts, but I didn't expect that Xiguo would save us."
"The relationship between Xiguo and Izumo is indeed very bad, but Xiyunbo is kind and kind. He said that he has a grudge against Izumo, but he has no enmity with us people, so Xiyunbo personally came to our Izumo country to provide disaster relief.
"
"Uncle Xiyun is truly a hero in the world, benevolent and righteous, with a clear sense of grudges and grudges."
"Yes, Uncle Xiyun is really a good man. It would be great if our king could be like Uncle Xiyun."
...
Under the secret control of the officials in charge of publicity, many public opinions that were beneficial to the Xi Kingdom began to spread widely among the people of Izumo, and the public opinion fermented. The spread of this sentiment was faster than the spread of the plague, and it was even more terrifying.
