In order to help spread the rumor, Zhang Fei found a car, torn mats and sacks, killed a chicken, and took the chicken blood. After preparing all the necessary items, there was still one last thing missing - "dead people."

There are countless living people in the army, but it is difficult to find dead people. We have no choice but to let the living people pretend.

In order to be more realistic, Zhang Fei even thought of using makeup technology to improve the realism.

Zhang Fei thought about what people who died from the plague looked like.

Zhang Fei had personally seen many people die from the epidemic, and he was no stranger to people infected with the disease.

Zhang Fei searched around the camp for a while. He pulled out a few yellow flowers on the ground, picked the flowers, and rubbed them in his hands. Then, Zhang Fei randomly grabbed a soldier and used the yellow flowers to rub the soldier's face.

Give it a wipe.

Zhang Fei knew how to do make-up. He did it randomly, but after finishing it, the soldiers' faces were streaked with blue and yellow, and they didn't look like they were sallow and about to die.

Zhang Fei pried off the soldier's head and looked at it with a frown for a while. He felt that it was not possible and had no choice but to think of other ways.

The final solution was to use dust to smear the faces of the soldiers pretending to be plague patients, then mix some mud with ink, spot some pimples, and then use oil to create the effect of abscesses, so they dressed up like this.

He barely looks like a plague patient.

However, Zhang Fei's makeup skills are so inferior that Zhang Fei himself can't stand it.

Zhang Fei walked around the soldier with a dusty face. He frowned, brought a bowl of chicken blood, and creatively applied a little of the chicken blood to the soldier's eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, and ears, pretending to be bleeding from the seven orifices.

state.

After decorating it, I took another look and saw that the orifices were bleeding, which was a bit scary.

As a final supplement, Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to take a sip of the chicken blood and hold it in their mouths, and the soldiers had no choice but to do so.

"Open your mouth and smile." Zhang Fei said.

The soldier was so embarrassed that he could only open his mouth and smile, and when he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of blood-red teeth, which was horrifying to see.

That's it, Zhang Fei looked at the soldiers who were dressed like ghosts and nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, Zhang Fei hurriedly prepared some "rumor convoys". Each convoy had eight or nine vehicles, and in each vehicle lay a patient who had put on makeup. Some of these patients pretended to be dead and used

The mats and torn sacks were tightly covered; some patients, as a display, deliberately exposed their heads, deliberately letting others see the horrific appearance of their faces with abscesses and bleeding from their seven orifices, deliberately to scare people.

In addition, there were other soldiers wearing military uniforms and armor, carrying Han war flags, and pretending to be government officials.

In addition, there are three or two people in each team carrying baskets with some herbs in them, a gourd tied to their waist, and a cloth bag on their arm, dressed as doctors.

Each "rumor" team has at least eight or nine vehicles. This is Zhang Fei's ingenious arrangement based on his familiarity with the folk sentiments.

People often die on the road among the people. Therefore, there are often people pulling carts to transport dead bodies. It is not uncommon to see carts pulling corpses, and the people are not surprised.

It is also not unusual and common to have three or two vehicles carrying corpses.

When there are eight or nine corpse trucks, this is an eye-catching sight that is uncommon in the countryside.

To be eye-catching enough, scale is the key.

Similar to the rumored fleet, Zhang Fei hastily prepared three teams. This is the first batch, and there will be more in the future.

Three convoys, with a total of nearly 30 vehicles and a total of nearly 100 manpower, hurriedly went in different directions.

Zhang Fei stood at the gate of the camp with his arms crossed, watching the rumor team go away. When the people left, he turned around and saw that the camp was even emptier.

Zhang Fei has too few manpower.

——

Half an hour later, there was a small market in a place called Shibalipu. The market was busy with people, and suddenly a group of government and military convoys hurried towards this direction.

When the people in the market saw the officers and soldiers coming, they hurriedly evacuated to the side, for fear of blocking the road and getting into trouble.

The military convoy was moving in a hurry. The driver pulling the cart in front was trotting forward while holding on to the rope and stretching his neck. The officers and soldiers on the side were also trotting along, looking like they were in a hurry.

When the people on the roadside saw this strange group of officers and soldiers, they all started whispering.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, when the convoy of officers and soldiers reached the middle of the market, there was a sudden "kacha" sound. The right wheel of the front car suddenly fell off. It lost one wheel and lost its balance. The whole body of the car moved sideways.

It hit the ground with a crooked thud.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

Due to this incident, the entire convoy was forced to stop in the middle of the market.

Behind him, the centurion, an officer and soldier, hurried forward and cursed at the coachman.

The coachman nodded and bowed to accompany him.

After cursing, the centurion walked to the side of the road and rolled the wheel that was rolling on the side of the road back to the car. It seemed that he didn't understand carpentry work. The centurion looked at the axle and scratched his head for a long time.

Need to repair it by hand.

All around, the people watching were talking about all this.

After a while, a carpenter in the market came over cautiously and said he was willing to help.

The centurion was overjoyed and thanked him with clasped fists.

The carpenter walked to the front of the car and looked at the axle. It turned out that only the wooden pin on the axle was missing.

It wasn't a big problem. The carpenter took out his tools, cut a wooden dowel, and put the wheel on. As soon as the wooden dowel was inserted, the car was repaired.

In order to thank the carpenter for his help, the centurion took out two or three coins from his pocket and handed them to the carpenter. The carpenter refused, saying that it was just a small problem and not worth the money.

The carpenter sincerely felt that he shouldn't ask for money, so he just whittled a pin, and it was just such a small job. He didn't have the nerve to ask anyone for money.

It was the carpenter's fault that he refused. The centurion insisted on giving the money and directly grabbed the carpenter's hand and pushed the money into his hand.

The carpenter accepted the money with a look of embarrassment.

Seeing that this team of officers and soldiers was quite friendly, the carpenter looked at this strange convoy and looked at the dead people covered tightly on the car. The carpenter couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's going on? We're fighting with someone."

?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah? War? No way." The centurion deliberately said loudly, "There is a plague in the east, and many people died. There is an order from above to take away the dead."

It’s cooked.”

After that, the centurion said loudly to the crowd of onlookers, "Fellow folks! I'm afraid there's going to be a big epidemic. For these ten days and a half, I won't leave the house if I can. I'll stay at home to avoid getting infected by the epidemic."

!”

When they heard it was a plague, the people watching immediately became panicked.

Just as the carpenter was about to ask something more, the centurion called the military doctor beside him and asked the military doctor to bring out some herbs.

The centurion handed the herb to the carpenter and said with a serious face, "Brother, take the medicine. If you accidentally catch the epidemic, drink it.

...It’s best to go home and hide, the disease is severe, and medicine probably won’t be of much use.”

The carpenter took the medicine, thanked the centurion, and his expression became extremely serious.

At this time, among the crowd of onlookers, an old man with a gray beard came out on crutches. The old man bowed his hand to the centurion and asked with a serious face, "May I ask, military lord, where did the plague occur?"

The centurion pointed casually, "To the east." After saying that, the centurion asked the doctor for two more herbs. He walked up to the old man, gave the herbs to the old man, and said, "Old man, I have been hiding at home recently.

If you have nothing to do, don’t go out and walk around.”

The old man thanked the centurion for the herbal medicine, and when he wanted to take money to pay for the medicine, the centurion refused.

Then, without stopping, the centurion hurriedly left the market with his convoy.

The people in the concentration watched the convoy hurried away and disappeared. People gathered around the carpenter and the old man and started asking questions.

"What kind of medicine are these?" The people stretched out their hands to take away the medicine from the carpenter's hand and take a look.

The carpenter cautiously hid the medicinal materials in his arms and looked at the man defensively, "No, I don't know what it is."

Others asked again, "How much does it cost to buy this?"

"No one wants money," the carpenter replied.

The carpenter and the old man were surrounded and questioned for a long time before they squeezed out of the crowd and left in a hurry.

The military doctor's application of medicine was a deliberate move to enhance the effect of the rumor.

There are two ways to apply pesticides, one is to apply the pesticide and you still receive money, the other is to apply the pesticide and then leave in a hurry without even taking the money. There are these two methods of applying pesticides.

If you want to ask, what kind of situation is so urgent that you don’t even care about taking money? The answer is, when the crisis is extremely critical.

Military doctors administered medicine for free. This single detail directly increased the credibility of the plague several times.

In addition, there is a long line of motorcade, and the vehicles are all dead people, which is horrifying to watch; in addition, the person escorting the dead body is wearing a red military uniform, equipped with iron armor and stomach, plus the [

Han] military flag is simply more official than the official army. With the appearance of the Han official army, it is very persuasive. In addition, the whole process of the corpse transport team was in a hurry, which added to the tense atmosphere.

Brought to the people in the market.

Finally, the officers and soldiers gave medicine and gave instructions to avoid the plague. This seemed to be true, which made it even more convincing.

When the kind-hearted officer and army leader left, people kindly asked him to hide at home for a while. The people remembered the explanation. Not long after the corpse transport team left, news of a serious epidemic in the east quickly spread throughout the entire community.

city.

The severity of the plague is enough to make people's faces change when they hear it.

Not long after, the people in the market stopped selling anything and hurried home.
