Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 822

Sun Quan's face was gloomy, "The Shi family is so useless, it was easily dismantled by Lan Tian so quickly, and that old thief Shi Xie still wanted to join forces with me? Gu actually believed it."

Sun Bu pointed to the contents of the newspaper and analyzed: "Shi Hui exposed his father, led Lantian to Jiaozhi to help him seize power, and finally rebelled in front of the battle, trying to wipe out the soldiers who fell into the army. This man is really as stupid as a pig and dog."

"Being greedy for profit, he lures wolves into the house, and he doesn't know how much he is. Shi Xie's sons are all trash."

Although I felt that it was a pity to lose the line of cochin, but fortunately, I was not cheated by the pig teammates. Sun Quan was afraid when he thought about it at this time.

"You can get a glimpse of other people from Shiyan. Lantian asked him to be the prefect of Jiaozhi, but he was just a puppet. In the end, the general couldn't figure it out. The Shi family has already fallen apart. Why did Lantian keep Shi Xie and others? They should all be exiled." Yes, it’s the so-called cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.” Sun Bu couldn’t understand it.

Sun Quan replied in a deep voice: "Hmph, Shi Xie still has a few days to live? Lan Tian looks like a benevolent woman, but in fact he is very smart. This person is an enemy of Jiangdong, and it is a serious worry."

"Lantian is very resourceful and resourceful, and also has the courage to fall into the army. If Lu Xun is really instigated, what will happen." Sun Bu reminded again.

Sun Quan's mood fell to the bottom, and he waved his hand to signal Sun Bu to go back first.

Sun Buqing bid farewell with his hands clasped together, and at the gate of the palace, he met General Suiyuan, Marquis Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan once told Zhang Zhao about Sun Bu's going to Jiaozhou. During this period, the latest "Lingnan Daily" entered Jiangdong, and the decline of the scholar family became a topic of discussion among the people.

Zhang Zhao asked about Sun Bu's situation in detail, and he was very sympathetic when he heard what happened to Sun Bu, and he was about to leave after a few words of comfort.

Sun Bu thought that Sun Quan was in a bad mood at this time, and seeing Zhang Zhao's hurried look, he kindly reminded: "The king is not in a good mood at this time, General Zibu can go at another time?"

"Can't be changed, can't be changed." Zhang Zhao sighed and explained the reason.

It turned out that Zhou Tai, the governor of Ruxu, died of injuries, and Huainan lacked safe generals to guard, so Sun Quan wanted to appoint Zhang Cheng as governor of Ruxu.

Zhang Zhao wanted to intercede with his son at this time. After all, there was a big gap between foreign wars and fighting against Shanyue. Zhang Zhao didn't want to waste the [-] private soldiers that Zhang Cheng finally got in Huainan.

"It turns out that this is the last general wishing you success." Sun Bu said goodbye with fists in his hands.

Zhang Zhao then entered the palace. Seeing Zhang Zhao's appearance, Sun Quan knew what the other party wanted to do, so he asked Zhang Zhao to sit beside him and waited.

In the previous issues of the Changjiang Daily, it praised Sun and Liu for uniting against Cao, but in the last two issues, it suddenly changed its style. The newspaper said that Guan Yu was holding back the main force of Wei in Jingbei, and rebuked Soochow for doing mediocre things with Cao Wei in Huainan.

Liao Li slammed Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers in the Yangtze River Review, scolding Sun Quan for being bestowed by Wei Guo as the king of Wu first, and then raising troops to attack Huainan, but he was shameless begging for surrender if he couldn't beat him, and he was a rat.

Sun Quan may have read too much. Facing Liao Li's fierce words, he is now numb and doesn't have many emotional fluctuations.

Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan had known each other for many years. Seeing that Sun Quan was deliberately letting himself go, he stood up and walked over.

When he found that the Changjiang News was on the table, Zhang Zhao leaned over and said to himself: "The Changjiang News speaks righteously, but they are actually the most hypocritical. How could it be possible for Guan Yu to work so hard in Jingzhou for our Soochow? Liu Bei Leading an army to sneak attack and occupy Guanzhong, the newspaper didn’t mention it at all.”

"What's the use of complaining? The Yangtze River News is also run by someone else, and we can't control what they say." Sun Quan replied coldly.

Zhang Zhao made a heartbroken expression: "The old man suggested a long time ago that Jiang Dong should run a newspaper himself, so that he doesn't have to be controlled by others. It's a pity that other people don't agree, alas."

Sun Quan snorted and didn't answer, saying that if he is not in charge of the family, he doesn't know how expensive he is. He has carefully understood the process of running a newspaper, and the huge cost is staggering. Jiangdong's special system makes it impossible for Sun Quan to monopolize power.

The gentry are not willing to pay for this, and their opposition is well-founded. If they want to read newspapers, they can order them from Jingzhou, and they are even willing to use Yu’s firm to resell second-hand newspapers to make a profit.

The power and effect of newspapers' public opinion is obvious, but the actual income of selling newspapers is not much. Before the scale is not up, we must continue to post money.

The model of high investment in the early stage was unacceptable to all the gentry in Jiangdong. Even the relatively affluent northern Wei State had prepared to run a newspaper for more than a year and it was only a small matter.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Sun Quan didn't answer, Zhang Zhao leaned over with a thick face.

Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "If Zibu is fine, you should go home."

"Your Majesty, I don't have much talent and learning, and if you want to supervise such an important position, I'd like to ask you to choose someone else." Zhang Zhao said before Sun Quan chased him away.

Sun Quan sat upright, his brows frowned into the word Chuan, and he replied with a serious face: "In the Huainan War, more than a dozen of our Eastern Wu generals died in battle. It was the time when the young and yellow were not ready, and Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) was very effective in conquering Shanyue. , and it’s time to come out and take charge.”

"Zhong Si has little talent and learning, and his qualifications in the army are relatively short. Your Majesty, please think again." Zhang Zhao continued to plead.

"A man has to do his part. How long has Yu Zecheng been in Jiangdong? Gu appointed him as the governor of the left department of Jiefan Wei, but he didn't even blink. Zibu, you are an important minister in Jiangdong. You must learn to share your worries for Gu. You can't do it every time. Let the orphan hold you back." Sun Quan's last words were so serious that he almost scolded him directly.

Zhang Zhao swallowed his saliva, and lowered his head to explain: "Yu Zecheng is very smart, Zhong Si is far behind him, and besides, he has Jiangdong's Zhang family's support behind him, so he can convince people with less seniority."

"Ruxu Shuikou is our lifeline in Jiangdong. Although Cao Ren has withdrawn to the Central Plains, Han Zong is still in Hefei, and he must be guarded by a cautious general. Lu Boyan led the navy to guard Chaisang. You have to guard it for me. All the way? If Zibu decides to say that Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) is not suitable, you have to point me to one, right?"

Sun Quan said in his heart that although Ruxu is the fortress of defending the Huai River, it is also an important stronghold for retaking the hometown of the Huai Si faction, why don't you, old man, understand?
If no one from the Huaisi faction took over Ruxu, wouldn't all Jiangdong military power fall into the hands of the Jiangdong gentry?If that Lu Xun had any evil intentions, Lantian might be able to occupy Jiangdong as easily as he did with Shi Xie.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard that, and began to list with a smile: "Ziyu (Zhuge Jin), Ziheng (Lv Fan), and Dinggong (Lv Dai) are all experienced and famous for their prudence. minister of

In order to make up the number, Zhang Zhao put his in-laws, Zhang Cheng's father-in-law Zhuge Jin first.

Zhuge Jin had stayed in Ruxuwu for more than half a year. Although he couldn't handle Yujin's affairs perfectly, he was still familiar with Ruxu's garrison. Zhang Zhao threw him out to show his sincerity, which meant that the older generation was still alive. It is not appropriate to send a son to the next generation.

After hearing this, Sun Quan frowned and stroked his beard. He suddenly had an idea and had a bold idea. He smiled and said, "Zibu won't let Zhongsi go to Ruxu, so how about going to Chaisang for garrison?"

"Chai Sang? Isn't there a big governor there?" Zhang Zhao was taken aback.
