Sun Quan's face was gloomy, "The Shi family is really useless. It was easily dismantled by Lantian so quickly. That old thief Shi Xie still wants to join forces with me? Gu actually believes it..."

Sun Bu pointed to the contents of the newspaper and analyzed: "Shi Hui exposed his father, lured Lantian to Jiaozhi to help him seize power, and finally rebelled against the enemy in an attempt to destroy the trapped troops. This man is really as stupid as a pig or a dog..."

"The desire for gain leads the wolf into the house, and you don't know your own weight. Shi Xie's sons are all useless..."

Although I felt it was a pity to lose the Jiaozhi line, fortunately I was not cheated by the pig teammates. Sun Quan was scared just thinking about it at this time.

"You can get a glimpse of others from Shiren. Lantian asked him to be the governor of Jiaozhi, but he was just a puppet. The general at the end couldn't figure it out. The Shi family has been torn apart. Why did Lantian still keep Shixie and others? They should all be exiled.

Yes, the so-called cutting off the roots..." Sun Bu couldn't figure it out.

Sun Quan replied in a deep voice: "Hmph, how many days does Shi Xie have to live? Lantian seems to be a kind woman, but in fact he is very clever. This person is an enemy of Jiangdong, and he is really a serious problem..."

"Lantian is very wise and strategist, and he has the courage to trap the enemy. If Lu Xun is really instigated to rebel, the consequences will be..." Sun Bu reminded again.

Sun Quan's mood fell to the lowest point, and he waved to Sun Bu to go back first.

Sun Bu knew it and said goodbye with his fists in his hands. At the palace gate, he met General Suiyuan and Zhang Zhao, the Marquis of Quan.

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

Zhang Zhao asked Sun Bu about his situation in detail. He was very sympathetic to Sun Bu's situation, comforted him for a few words, and then left.

Sun Bu thought that Sun Quan was in a bad mood at this time, and saw Zhang Zhao looking in a hurry, so he kindly reminded: "The king is not in a good mood at this time, General Zibu will go at another time?"

"It can't be changed, it can't be changed." Zhang Zhao sighed and told the reason.

It turned out that Ruxu Governor Zhou Tai died of an injury and Huainan lacked reliable generals to guard it, so Sun Quan wanted to appoint Zhang Cheng as Ruxu Governor.

Zhang Zhao wanted to intercede with his son at this time. After all, there was a big difference between a foreign war and a campaign against Shanyue. Zhang Zhao did not want to waste the 5,000 private soldiers Zhang Cheng had finally obtained in Huainan.

"So that's it...I wish you all the best..." Sun Bu said goodbye with fists clasped.

Zhang Zhao then entered the palace. When Sun Quan saw Zhang Zhao's appearance, he knew what Zhang Zhao was thinking, so he asked Zhang Zhao to sit beside him and wait while he deliberately bent over his desk to read the Lingnan Newspaper and the Yangtze River Newspaper.

In the previous issues of the Yangtze River News, it praised the Sun and Liu families for joining forces to fight against Cao Cao, but in the last two issues it suddenly changed its style. The newspaper said that Guan Yu was restraining the main force of Wei in Jingbei, and reprimanded Soochow Wu for being indifferent to Cao Wei in Huainan.

Liao Li slandered the emperors and ministers east of the Yangtze River in the Yangtze River Review, accusing Sun Quan of being the first to receive the title of King of Wu from the Wei State, and then raising an army to attack Huainan.

Sun Quan may have seen too much. Faced with Liao Li's fierce words, he is now numb and has little emotional fluctuations.

Zhang Zhao had been with Sun Quan for many years and had a deep understanding of each other. Seeing that Sun Quan was deliberately showing off to him, he stood up and walked over.

When he found the Yangtze River Newspaper on the desk, Zhang Zhao leaned over and said to himself: "The Yangtze River Newspaper speaks righteously, but in fact they are the most hypocritical. Guan Yu was so desperate in Jingzhou, how could it be for our Soochow? Liu Bei

Leading the army to sneak attack and occupy Guanzhong, there is no mention in the newspaper..."

"What's the use of complaining? The Changjiang Newspaper is run by someone else. We can't control what others say..." Sun Quan replied coldly.

Zhang Zhao expressed his sorrow: "I have long proposed that Jiangdong should run a newspaper himself, so that he does not have to be controlled by others. It is a pity that others do not agree, alas..."

Sun Quan hummed and didn't answer. He said to himself that if you are not a master, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. He once carefully understood the reporting process. The huge cost is staggering. Jiangdong's special system prevents Sun Quan from monopolizing power.

The nobles were unwilling to pay for this, and their objections were well-founded. If they wanted to read newspapers, they could order them from Jingzhou, and they were even willing to use Yu's Trading Company to resell them second-hand to earn the price difference. But if Jiang Dong really wanted to start his own business, he would never do it.

The power of newspapers and public opinion is obvious, but the actual income from selling newspapers is not much. Until the scale is increased, money must continue to be paid.

The model of high investment in the early stage was unacceptable to all the noble families in Jiangdong. Even the relatively prosperous northern Wei State had only been preparing to launch the newspaper for more than a year, but it was only a small effort.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Sun Quan didn't answer, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to approach him with a shameless face.

Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "If nothing happens to Zibu, you'd better go home..."

"Your Majesty, your son is not very talented and has little knowledge. For such an important position as Ruxu Supervisor, I would like you to choose someone else..." Zhang Zhao spoke up before Sun Quan could send him away.

Sun Quan sat up straight, frowned into the Chinese character Sichuan, and replied with a serious face: "In this battle in Huainan, more than ten of our generals from Soochow died of illness and disease. It was a time when the army was in decline, and Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) was very effective in conquering Shanyue.

, it’s also time to come out and be on your own.”

"Zhong Si has little talent and little experience in the army. Your Majesty, please think twice..." Zhang Zhao continued to plead.

"A man must do his duty. How long has Yu Zecheng been in Jiangdong? Gu appointed him as the left governor of Jiefengwei, but he didn't even blink. Zibu, you are an important minister of Jiangdong. You must learn to share your worries for Gu. You can't do it every time.

It's a hindrance to me." Sun Quan's last words were very serious, and he almost didn't curse him directly.

Zhang Zhao swallowed his saliva and lowered his head to defend: "Yu Zecheng is very smart, Zhong Si is far behind him, and besides, he has the support of Jiangdong's Zhang family, and he can convince the public even if he has less qualifications..."

"Ruxushuikou is our lifeline in the east of the Yangtze River. Although Cao Ren has withdrawn to the Central Plains, that beast Han Zong is still in Hefei. We must guard it with caution. Lu Boyan leads the navy to guard Chaisang. You must guard it for me.

All the way? If Zibu insists that Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) is not suitable, you have to point out one to me, right?"

Sun Quan thought in his heart that although Ruxu is a fortress guarding the Huai River, it is also an important stronghold for retaking the hometown of the Huai Si Sect. Why don't you, old guy, understand?

If no one from the Huaisi faction took over Ruxu, wouldn't all the military power in Jiangdong fall into the hands of the Jiangdong gentry? If Lu Xun really had any evil intentions, Lantian might be able to easily occupy Jiangdong just like he did with Shixie.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he started to list with a smile: "Ziyu (Zhuge Jin), Ziheng (Lü Fan), and Ding Gong (Lü Dai) are all highly qualified and known for their stability.

Minister..."

In order to make up the number, Zhang Zhao put his own 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 could not handle the Yujin issue perfectly, he was still familiar with the Ruxu garrison. Zhang Zhao threw him out to show his sincerity, which meant that the older generation was still alive.

It's not appropriate to send your sons.

After hearing this, Sun Quan frowned and stroked his beard. He suddenly had an idea and came up with a bold idea. He smiled and said, "Zibu doesn't want Zhongsi to go to Rusu, so how about garrisoning in Chaisang?"
