Sun Quan sent people to kidnap Adou, and Liu Bei secretly supported Lai Gong. This is the interesting part of politics.
Although both sides now have their own suspicions, as long as they are revealed, everyone will still be a good partner of the Sun-Liu Alliance.
When Sun Shangxiang saw Lan Tian's indifferent expression, she finally let go of her worries. The matter of robbing Adou was big or small. It didn't matter that Yuan Cong such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had different impressions of her. It would be quite dangerous if Lan Tian held a grudge against her.
Now Sun Shangxiang has cut off contact with her mother's family and is almost rootless in Jingzhou. However, as long as she changes her temper as the eldest lady, she can protect herself with the support of this mistress, but Lantian is her biggest threat.
Adou has been established as the crown prince, and Gan Qian is just a concubine. If Lan Tian unites with the Yuan Cong faction to put pressure on Liu Bei over this matter, Sun Shangxiang's life will be difficult in the future.
"Let's make this matter clear. Mrs. Sun doesn't need to worry too much. What do you think, General Zilong?" Lan Tian asked.
Zhao Yun replied: "I listen to Mr. Ziyu."
"That's it, farewell. Please take care of yourself, Mrs. Sun." Lan Tian turned around to leave.
"Please wait a moment..." Sun Shangxiang said again.
"What else is there?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
Sun Shangxiang hesitated, not knowing how to speak for a long time.
"It's okay, Mrs. Sun. Zilong and I are both ministers of the lord, and we can certainly serve you." Lan Tian looked at Zhao Yun and said.
Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a long time, and then said sadly: "Sister Gan is kind and kind. Please convey my respect to Ziyu when she returns. Now Xuande is far away in Xichuan and has not returned. The general and his second uncle will guard Jingzhou together. My mother and daughter will have a lot of work in the future." Take care..."
When Lan Tian saw that Sun Shangxiang spoke seriously, he had no idea why Sun Shangxiang was showing kindness. Could it be that this girl grew up after being severely beaten by reality? He glanced at Zhao Yun awkwardly, then clasped his fists and replied sonorously: "Mrs. Sun's words are serious, this is a matter of humble duty..."
Walking out of Jiangling Villa, Lan Tian and Zhao Yun walked side by side. Sun Shangxiang's low profile made people feel a little sad.
Zhao Yun knew that Lan Tian was doubtful, so he sighed and said: "Mrs. Sun was too sharp when she first came, so the lord had to be on guard against her. Maybe she has experienced some things and looked away..."
"Mrs. Sun's life is not easy, and General Zilong's life is not easy either..." Lan Tian sighed and urged his horse forward.
When Lan Tian went to the other courtyard to deliver gifts, Zhao Yun had already sent someone to convey a message to military advisor Zhuge Liang. Lan Tian finally made a trip to Jiangling and would definitely catch up with Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Zhang Fei.
After Liu Bei led his troops into Sichuan, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others were handling government affairs at General Zuo's Mansion. When Lan Tian and Zhao Yun arrived on horseback, two military advisors went outside the mansion to greet them.
"I heard that you just went to the other courtyard to express your congratulations? Ziyu's mind is as broad as the sea." Zhuge Liang joked, holding Lan Tian's hand.
Xu Shu added: "Mrs. Sun is the mistress of Jingzhou after all. Yun Chang and Yide are unwilling to take the lead. It is really difficult for outsiders like us to handle it. Fortunately, Ziyu broke the deadlock."
"The two strategists think too much. What should a gentleman be afraid of when he acts openly?" Lan Tian responded with a smile.
Zhao Yun stood aside and said nothing, thinking that General Lan was not the same just now. He always stayed close to him in Sun Shangxiang's courtyard.
Gao Yuan stood behind Lan Tian holding a big wooden box. Zhuge Liang found out and asked curiously: "Is there any leftover from Ziyu's gift to Mrs. Sun? Could it be a rare thing he got in Jiaozhou?"
"The military advisor is so clever, why not figure out what the gift is in the wooden box?" Lan Tian asked.
"Is it really a gift?" Xu Shu asked.
Lan Tian nodded, "We have prepared a lot, and everyone has a share."
Zhuge Liang smiled and replied: "Who can guess this? Liang still doesn't embarrass himself, Yuan Zhi, let's go into the house and open the gifts."
"Okay." Xu Shu said with a smile on his face.
"Where is Yide?" Lan Tian asked as he walked.
"It's been cold these days and I haven't seen Yide coming. I have to ask Zilong about his whereabouts." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun and said.
Zhao Yun's job was to stay in the camp. When he saw Zhuge Liang asking, he opened his mouth and said, "Yide is either drinking at home or going out to the city to ride horses and shoot arrows. The weather is very strange this year. It's unbearable hot in the summer and unbearable cold in the winter." ..."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Just ask Zilong to send someone to invite Yide, and tell him that Lan Ziyu has brought him a gift..."
"Wei." Zhao Yun responded with cupped fists, then turned around and walked out.
Everyone walked into the main hall of the general's mansion. Lan Tian asked Gao Yuan to place the wooden box on the table, and then said to Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, "Which of the two military advisors will open the gift?"
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu smiled at each other, and then generously opened the lid of the wooden box. What was inside was a thick piece of paper. The large characters in the upper right corner of the paper read: Yangtze River News.
Zhuge Liang picked up the top Yangtze Newspaper and looked at it suspiciously. Seeing this, Xu Shu followed Zhuge Liang and took one away.
"Yangtze River News, the first issue of the 17th year of Jian'an. This seems to be a new thing. Does that mean there will be a second and third issue later?" Xu Shu asked first.
Lan Tian nodded: "This is the newspaper I founded. This year it is expected to publish an issue every two months, and next year it will publish an issue every month."
"The news here is both internal and external, both positive and negative. I think there must be a lot in this wooden box, right? What does Ziyu want to do?" Zhuge Liang looked at Lantian suspiciously.
Lantian said with a smile: "There are 600 copies of the first issue of the Yangtze Newspaper, 400 of which were distributed to each county and county in the four counties of Jingnan. The remaining 200 copies here are prepared for Jiangxia and Nanjun."
"Copying 600 copies will take a lot of time, right?" Xu Shu asked.
"In a few days, there will be quite a lot of Confucian students in Quanling Academy." Lan Tian replied.
Zhuge Liang quickly browsed the Yangtze River Newspaper, and then said meaningfully: "The Yangtze River Newspaper records many major events. If it can be published regularly, you can really know the world's affairs without leaving home."
"Half of this newspaper is about my own family. If Cao Cao accidentally obtained it, wouldn't it be passing information to the other party?" Xu Shu asked worriedly.
Lan Tian replied mysteriously: "The purpose of my newspaper is to let people in the world know the world's affairs. I just don't write down the secrets. I am not afraid of Cao Cao or Sun Quan getting them. This is like a doctor using medicine. As long as you choose the right medicinal materials, you can cure the disease." , if you choose the wrong medicine, it may kill someone..."
"Ziyu wants to use this newspaper to plot?" Zhuge Liang seemed to understand.
Lan Tian slowly said: "There are many things happening in the world every day. As long as you choose wisely and carefully, you should report more of your own virtues and good things and a prosperous life, and then repay the evil things and bleak lives of other forces..."
Xu Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Ziyu's newspaper plan is so powerful..."
Zhuge Liang nodded affirmatively, "Six hundred cards per issue is still less..."
"Let's take it step by step, no matter how good the strategy is, it takes time..."
"Who is Xu An? Ziyu actually made him famous." Xu Shu asked again.
Lan Tian replied solemnly: "Xu An works hard for the people and has the people in mind. I want to set this person as an example to spur those officials who have always been serving as corpses."
