Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 718 Great Wei and Wu Wang also read newspapers?
"Why did Xing Zhen come to Jianye?" Sun Quan was puzzled.

The tiger warrior clasped his fists and replied: "People here say that by the order of Emperor Wei, the Lord will be named King of Wu with an imperial edict, plus nine bestowments."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar. It was a great thing for Sun Quan to be crowned king, but the Great Wei and Wu Wang were a little ironic. In the newspapers, the Sun family will also be scolded in the newspapers.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin sat on the wax for a moment, and he hurried out of the class to remonstrate: "Cao Pi himself is not in the right position. If the lord is crowned King of Wu at this time, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world? Then he will call the orphan to the south."

"Mr. Ziyu is serious. After the war in Jingzhou, Jiangdong's vitality was greatly damaged. If you go west, you can't break through Wuchang of Ganning and Ningxia. If you go north, you can't pull out the strong city of Hefei. How can you talk about being lonely in the south? It's better to form an alliance with the strong and wait for the right time. .” Lu Ji immediately stood up and refuted.

In history, Sun Quan sent Lu Ji to be the prefect of Yulin. He died young because he couldn't adapt to the climate of Jiaozhou. On the contrary, he lived well in Jiangdong in this plane.

"Gongji's words are wrong. If you make friends with Cao Pi too much, you will offend Liu Bei. Now that the Yangtze River waterway has just resumed navigation, once my lord accepts the gift from King Wu, Liu Bei will definitely become hostile to us. For the present plan, we should not help each other and remain neutral. , then the tripartite rivalry can still be maintained." Yan Jian has a close relationship with Zhuge Jin, and when he saw Lu Ji making things difficult for his friend, he stood up to defend him.

Gu Yong joined the battle group and said with a smile: "Mancai's words are also biased. Jingzhou soldiers and horses are mostly stationed in Xiang and Fan, and they are close to Wan, Luo, and Xuchang. It is impossible for Liu Bei to let Guan Yu attack us, otherwise Cao Pi's army will gather and go south. Xiang and Fan are very likely to change hands, regardless of whether the lord accepts the title or not, Cao Liu's attitude towards us will not change, and Jiangdong is not their main enemy at present."

The Huaisi faction and the Jiangdong gentry were quite different from each other, and each held their own opinions and debated endlessly about the enfeoffment of the king of Wu.

Now that Gan Ning is guarding the east of Jingzhou, it is unlikely that the Jiangdong navy will invade Jingzhou again. If Sun Quan is named the king of Wu in Wei, it means that his ambition has lost, and it will be impossible to gather troops to attack Huainan again. It will hide in the existing territory to defend, and the result is that the entire Huaisi Group does not want to see it.

On the contrary, the gentry in Jiangdong acted on their own, and being able to hold their current territory to ensure that it would not be affected was the result they wanted most. Years of wars cost the gentry money, food, soldiers and horses, so they supported Sun Quan to be named king of Wu.

Sun Quan has been defeated repeatedly since he was in charge of the army. Whether it is Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Zhang Liao, or Liu Bei, Guan Yu, or Lan Tian, ​​he found that no matter who he meets, he will suffer defeat. The ambition in his heart has long been extinguished, so he himself tends to be King Wu, after all, Liu Xie and Cao Pi are the same as the emperor, as long as Jiangdong maintains the status quo.

"Arguing endlessly is not an option. Since Xing Zhen is going to Jiangdong as an envoy, I can't be negligent. Zibu has always been mature and prudent. Can you welcome him in?" Transfer from the scene.

"Wei." Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan's intentions, but now that he was old and his children were taken care of by Sun Quan, he had no intention of sending Huaisi a leader, so he took the task on the donkey.

As soon as Zhang Zhao left, the large hall continued to argue over whether to be entrusted. The Huaisi faction and the Jiangdong gentry held different attitudes, showing a clear distinction. Seeing this, Sun Quan felt a sense of balance.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Sun Quan stood up and stopped the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "I remember Zijing's last words, saying that Cao Qiang will unite with Liu to carry Cao, and Liu Qiang will unite with Cao to attack Liu. Who can tell me which is stronger?"

"Cao Pi occupies the nine states in the world, and the army and population must be Wei Qiang." Zhuge Jin answered with hands clasped.

Sun Quan was noncommittal and waited for other answers in the hall. General Quan Cong came out of the squad and replied: "In terms of land, population and military strength, it is understandable that Wei is strong, but Liu Bei now has all the Hanshui, sits on Xiangfan, and has a The naval army in Jiangdong is not weak, although its strength is still not as good as that of Wei, but it has become a passive defensive posture, so the strong and weak will be judged."

"The state of Wei has been on the defensive for the past two years. The main reason is that Cao Cao died of illness in his later years. Cao Pi succeeded to the throne in a panic and became self-reliant on behalf of the Han. I think that the rest of the state of Wei is over, and it is time to crusade against Liu Bei. Why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger?" Zhuge Jin asked rhetorically.

After hearing this, Quan Cong said happily: "Cao Pi was not afraid of being cast aside when he was on behalf of the Han Dynasty, so how could he make the lord king for no reason? I guess Wei Guo should use troops in the near future to stabilize Jiangdong and stop sending troops to fight for Huainan, so that he can rest assured to fight with Liu Bei." The world, so the title of the lord can actually cause the snipe and the clam to fight."

"Ah, here." Zhuge Jin was forced by Quan Cong's words and couldn't refute.

"You guys can stop arguing. It's been a few incense sticks since Zibu left. If Xing Zhen sees everyone arguing, it will be too rude." Sun Quan raised the newspaper on the table and waved it in the middle of his speech. , "Ziyu's concern is nothing more than the Yangtze River's report. I am worried that Liu Bei will make people humiliate me in the newspaper? There are really those filthy articles, can't we just prevent them from flowing into Jiangdong?"

Zhuge Jin swallowed her saliva, why did the lord play such a trick?If you don't let the Yangtze River News flow into the border of Jiangdong, will people stop publishing it because of this?

Seeing that Sun Quan had a clear opinion, the Jiangdong gentry stood up and echoed "Wise and Martial", Zhuge Jin, Yan Yan and other Huaisi factions were inconvenient to persuade them after seeing this.

"Since all the ministers have no objections, why not be named the King of Wu alone?" Sun Quan knew that the Changjiang Newspaper would slander him, but Cao Pi, who was the emperor, was not afraid, let alone the inferior King of Wu.

Zhang Zhao walked quickly to the gate of the palace. Seeing that Xing Zhen refused to get off the carriage because he was an angel of the kingdom, he was furious and sternly reprimanded: "There is no disrespect for etiquette, and all laws are respected. If you dare to respect yourself, how can Jiangnan have no square inch blade?" yeah?"

Xing Zhen sat in the carriage for a long time, he was putting on airs to wait for Sun Quan to come to greet him, but he didn't want to but waited for Zhang Zhao's stern scolding.

Although Zhang Zhao's beard and hair are all white, his voice is full of vigor and sonorous force. Xing Zhen raised the car curtain not because he was afraid of Zhang Zhao, but because he saw a group of tiger warriors with halberds behind him. I know it's not easy to mess with.

Xing Zhen hurriedly got out of the car to salute, and followed Zhang Zhao into the palace to meet Sun Quan.

The Jiangdong officials had been "persuaded" by Sun Quan, so Xing Zhen entered the palace in a solemn and solemn manner. He stood in the audience and read out the edict of the king, followed by presenting the seal ribbon and the gift of nine gifts. Sun Quan became the king of Wei Wu at this moment.

Sun Quan ordered a banquet to be held in the palace to entertain Taichang Xingzhen, who came from afar to pass the imperial edict.

Xing Zhen took his seat at the head, and he suddenly found a huge white paper on the table in the hall, which looked a bit like the newspapers that once flowed into Xudu.

"King Wu, is Jiangdong also publishing newspapers?" Xing Zhen asked curiously, clasping her hands.
