"It is said that running a newspaper is very complicated. It not only requires many paper mills, but also requires a large number of people to transcribe. We in Jiangdong do not have the financial resources and energy." Sun Quan acted relatively calmly at first, and then asked in surprise: "Is it possible?

Wei Guo did not flow into the Yangtze River?"

"It turns out that Liu Bei often sent people to slander Wei and Jiangdong in the Yangtze River Newspaper in Jingzhou. It was banned from being circulated during the reign of the late emperor (Cao Cao), so it has not been seen in the court for a long time, but occasionally it can be seen among the people. It seems that

King Wu has a very good mind, and you can share such unsightly words with the ministers..." Xing Zhen shook her head and replied, not forgetting to tease a few words at the end.

Sun Quan smiled lightly. He deliberately did not remove the newspaper just now. It was Xing Zhen who took the initiative to ask. He wanted to use the Yangtze River Newspaper to express his attitude to Cao Pi. Jiangdong was nominally a vassal to the Wei State, but in fact they did not interfere in each other's internal affairs. The Wei State banned reading the Yangtze River Newspaper.

, Jiangdong can’t help but be a clear proof.

"Liu Xuande worked hard to make paper, write articles, and transcribe them. Why not let us take a look? Moreover, it also contains the other party's content. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger." Sun Quan stroked his purple beard calmly.

"The King of Wu is open-minded, and Xing Zhen admires him endlessly..." Xing Zhen bowed her hands in salute.

Sun Quan nodded to express his approval, then motioned to Zhang Zhao and said: "Xing Taichang came from afar to deliver the edict. The poor people in Jiangdong have no treasures to offer. Zibu can sort out the recent issues of the Yangtze River News and let Taichang take it back to Luoyang."

"Only." Zhang Zhao secretly praised his master's good plan. Cao Pi would be furious after seeing the recent issues of the newspaper. He might send troops to attack Liu Bei, and Jiangdong would be able to reap the benefits.

"Is this...appropriate?" Xing Zhen asked awkwardly.

"Xing Taichang, first read the eleventh issue of Yankang. These articles above are really shocking..." Zhang Zhao handed over the newspaper he just read.

Xing Zhen's expression changed immediately after she took the newspaper. Zhuge Liang's article was in the most eye-catching position. Those contents were really confusing, and she thought that His Majesty would go crazy after reading it, right?

"King Wu...this newspaper..." Xing Zhen just read a few lines and did not dare to read any more. The arrogant attitude on the carriage was not at all present.

Sun Quan shook his head with regret, "Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty after all. How can he be willing to give up when he sees Han Zuo being replaced by His Majesty? So it makes sense to let the people below write articles to vent their anger. The next few issues of this year will contain content like this.

..”

"How can such a rebellious and unethical thing still appear in the Jiangdong court? Since the King of Wu has accepted your Majesty's grant, he should be consistent with the Wei State..." Xing Zhen stood up and asked.

"It is better to defend the people than to defend the river. These things cannot be restrained. Just as Gu said just now, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If Tai Chang goes back, he should advise your majesty to let go of the ban, otherwise Liu Bei's situation will not be easy.

, In addition, we must send out powerful troops early to cleanse the world and destroy Liu Bei before the Yangtze River Newspaper can be stopped. I will also send troops to respond at that time..." Sun Quan used the Yangtze River Newspaper to start to spread the flames.

"Uh... I'll tell you what I said..." Xing Zhen swallowed.

"By the way, does your Majesty want to attack Liu Bei? Otherwise, how could he proclaim himself King of Wu without any reason?" Sun Quan pestered Xing Zhen and asked.

Xing Zhen shook her head quickly, "I have no involvement in the military affairs. As for the title of king and the nine bestowals, it is because King Wu asked your majesty to proclaim himself emperor last year. Now it is just a reward based on merit..."

"It's been a long time since we talked about merit and rewards. It took almost a year before I even remembered..." Zhang Zhao teased with a smile.

"It is very tedious to establish a country and build an ancestral temple. Your Majesty also has to take care of domestic affairs..." Xing Zhen responded weakly.

Sun Quan saw that Xing Zhen looked embarrassed, so he signaled to Zhang Zhao not to push too hard. Zhang Zhao understood and led the ministers to toast Xing Zhen. Xing Zhen could only resolve the embarrassment by drinking. Xing Zhen was drunk and was sent to the posthouse.

Zhang Zhao also sent over the compiled newspapers.

The next day, Xing Zhen woke up from alcohol and saw the Yangtze River newspaper, which was like a TV series. She immediately lost her mind to stay in Jiangdong and hurriedly entered the palace to bid farewell to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan saw that he could not keep him, so he asked Zhang Zhao to go to the dock to say goodbye.

Before Xing Zhen left, in order to regain her face, she deliberately asked about the case of the Sima family's extermination, but Sun Quan used the case to explain it away.

Zhuge Jin suddenly became suspicious. He looked at the retreating figures of Xing Zhen and Zhang Zhaoyuan, and carefully asked: "My lord, why don't you continue to delay? The Sima family's case was forced by Cao Pi. You said that there are clues to the case, right?"

Don’t you bring it upon yourself?”

"Don't worry Ziyu, Gu Ziyu has his own idea." Sun Quan did not tell Hu Ke's suggestion to others, but Cao Pi really wanted an answer to block the Wei scholars. He didn't mind hiding the dead Lu Ba from the Jiangdong officials.

If Cao Pi used this to commit fraud, he could deny it.

Zhuge Jin nodded thoughtfully, "Cao Pi made my lord king for no reason. I expect that something big will happen in the Wei Kingdom. I can send someone to Ru Xu to ask about the situation. I think General Zhou knows the details, but it is best not to send troops to Jiangdong...

.”

"Tzuyu, please relax. Although I spoke sincerely in front of Xing Zhen, if Cao Pi wants to send troops to Jiangdong, he must at least support him with some money and food, right?" Sun Quan responded with a smile.

Zhuge Jin was shocked and said: "It's not enough for Cao Pi to provide money and food. What if we anger Liu Bei too much and he decides to take Jiangdong first? The local nobles may not use all their strength..."

Sun Quan stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "Who said that after receiving Wei's money and food, I would immediately send troops? Doesn't it take time to build a ship? When the ship is built, the war will be over. If Cao Pi sends someone to hold him accountable, the worst I can do is send Wei away.

There are a few small boats in the country..."

"This... Your Majesty..." Zhuge Jin was speechless as he heard this, wondering when did the Lord become so cunning?

Sun Quan seemed to have read through Zhuge Jin's thoughts. He raised his head and sighed: "The so-called long-term illness makes a good doctor, and you have dealt with the 'profiteer' Lan Tian a lot, so you have to learn some cunning methods to deal with it..."

Zhuge Jin shook his head secretly after hearing this. No matter how cunning Lantian is, he is still a minister. Sun Quan is a powerful monarch. If you also imitate his cunning, what will the civil and military officials in Jiangdong think?

At this time, Sun Quan was in a good mood, so Zhuge Jin did not express his thoughts. He planned to persuade Zhang Zhao another day, and he would never let Sun Quan become a person who broke his word.

Zhuge Jin resigned and left, and Sun Quan asked Hu Shi to secretly invite Hu Ke into the palace and ask Cao Wei if anything big had happened.

Hu Ke clasped his fists and complimented: "Your Majesty is really clever. According to the news sent back from Luoyang ten days ago, the Liangzhou of Wei State has been uneasy recently, and Cao Pi may send troops to the northwest."

"So it's really like this..." Sun Quan frowned.

"In October, Liangzhou Lu Shuihu's Zhiyuan Duo, Yijian's prostitutes and other leaders rebelled, and the Hexi Corridor area fell into war. Emperor Wei recalled Zou Qi, the original governor of Liangzhou, and changed the name of Jingzhao Yin Zhangji to Liangzhou's governor.

He also sent Xia Houru, Fei Yao and other generals to Liju, Fanhe, Xianmei and other places to quell the rebellion. In November, Zhang Fei's troops from Wudu left Qishan Road and killed the officers and soldiers between Xi County and Hebei County.

Unable to resist, Cao Pi deliberately mobilized troops from around Luoyang to suppress the rebellion..." Hu Ke explained in detail.

Sun Quan nodded and said to himself: "It turns out that you can't look at the north and the south of Liangzhou. Lu Shuihu should not be afraid. Zhang Fei is Cao Pi's biggest problem..."

(Note: Lu Shuihu is a collective name for the Hu tribes including the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Yulu, Zahu, Qinhu, Jie, Diqiang and other Hu tribes. The main activities are in Gansu and other places in northwest China. Lu Shuihu is divided into

There are three major groups, namely Anding Lushuihu in the Jingwei River Basin, Linsonglushuihu in the Hexi Corridor, and Huangzhong Lushuihu in the Hehuang Valley. The rebel Zhiyuan Duo, Yi Jian's concubine, is Linsong in the Hexi Corridor.
