During the Warring States period, the despicable trick of alienating rumors broke out suddenly, and it often achieved miraculous results.
The second loser is the famous Lian Po. This is worse than Wuqi. During his life, he gossiped about evil plans and eventually died in a foreign country. The first time was the battle of Changping. The rumor that Qin belittled old Lian Po hit Zhao Junchen, and Lian Po was demoted as commander-in-chief of Qin Jun, and he lived in seclusion angrily. The second time, six years after Zhao's defeat, Lian Po didn't come. Just after winning a battle, he was attacked by a group of generals. The old general was furious this time. He rose up in anger and stormed to seize his military power. Although Lecheng fled, Lian Po had to flee to Wei. The third time Lian Po lived in Wei, he was rumored that "his heart will be different", which was not used by Wei. The fourth time, the prince of Zhao repeatedly defeated Qin, thinking of using Lian Po. However, Guo Kaizao, the messenger who was bought by his enemy, made a bizarre rumor that the old general "had three relics (excrement) for a meal", which made Zhao Wang believe it. So I will eventually escape from Chu and die in anger.
The fourth loser is the famous Le Yi. The first time this rumor narrowly escaped, the second time it finally fell. From then on, he lived in seclusion in Zhao and never became a general again. These two rumors are the dissension between old rivals Tian Dan and Lu Zhonglian. The first rumor said that Le Yi was ambitious to be king of Qi, which happened during the reign of Yan Zhaowang. Instead of being deposed, he killed the rumor monger who was bought by Qi. The second time, the new king acceded to the throne, Tian Dan did the same thing again, and he also rumored that he still wanted to be the king of Qi. Incredibly, the new prince thought that Le Yi was deposed and Yan Jun was immediately defeated.
The sixth was Fan Ju, who later became the marquis of Qin. With extraordinary wisdom, he went to that country as the attache of the special envoy. When the incompetent emissary had to take a vacation, he stepped forward, safeguarded Wei's dignity and promoted the alliance. Tian Chan attached great importance to talents and suggested that Fan Ju stay on, but Fan Ju politely declined. Such a big towel was pinched by JOE as an "official's private cloud", claiming that Fan Ju "had an affair with the enemy". Prime Minister Wei immediately thought that he was humiliated and punished in public, and the "corpse" was almost fed to the dog. If it weren't for coincidence, Fan Ju would immediately die of rumors and evil plans, and would never be known.
Strange to say, all these miracles are due to the six countries of Shandong. The envoys, business travelers and scouts of the six countries have always spared no expense to create rumors in Qin, but they have always been mud cows into the sea. Qin never misjudged a minister and general because of gossip.
