A smart person can understand it at any time. After a brief exchange with Lantian, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu immediately realized that this small newspaper had a great effect.

Xu Shu pointed to the upper left of the Yangtze River newspaper and said: "The information of the books and newspaper offices is still relatively lagging. The news in this issue was still in August and September last year. Cao Cao defeated the Guanxi Allied Forces in the Weishui River in October. He chased Ma Chao and Han Sui to Anding. Last month, Tian Yin and Su Bo plotted against Jizhou and Youzhou. Cao Cao was worried that Yecheng would be in trouble and returned to the army. Now he left Xiahou Yuan to conquer the remnants of Guanxi."

The pressure on the entire Jingzhou defense zone was mainly in Nanjun and Jiangxia. It had the most intelligence spy on Cao Cao in the north. In addition, the Guanzhong area was close to Jingzhou, so it was very familiar with the things of the Cao army.

Zhuge Liang nodded and added: "Yuan Zhi must convey external military information to Quanling in a timely manner. Ziyu has put a lot of effort into handling the Yangtze River reporting, and we must support it as much as possible."

"Well, I will go to Jiangxia to meet Yun Chang in a few days, and I will take the Yangtze River newspaper to distribute it. General Guan will definitely support it with all his strength." Xu Shu said.

"Have you heard from the lord in Yizhou?" Lantian asked again.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Shi Yuan came back with a letter. He once suggested controlling Liu Zhang in Fucheng, but unfortunately he was stopped by his lord. Now he is pretending to resist Zhang Lu in Jiameng Pass."

"The record is fleeting. If you don't have such a good opportunity in Fucheng, it's hard to encounter Liu Zhang again..." Xu Shu felt a little regretful.

"The so-called "famous name will not be right, and if the words are not right, things will not be done. The lord may have his own ideas, but if Cao Cao could pacify Yongliang and then bring his troops to Hanzhong, if he had not yet been able to collect Xichuan, the world would not be able to achieve it..." Zhuge Liang was also full of worry.

Seeing this, Lantian comforted: "Cao Cao's collection of Hebei is not stable. Is Su Bo treason? In addition, Ma Chao is very brave, and Yongliang will not fail in a short period of time.

As the saying goes, "Work hard for heaven and earth will live up to our efforts, we must always be prepared. If there is a change in Yizhou, the lord and Liu Zhang will break up and fight, and Jingzhou must also send troops to help, and try to shorten the time to take Xichuan."

"Haha, are you going to fight? My old Zhang's hands are so itchy." As everyone spoke, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun walked into the hall.

Seeing that there was sweat on Zhang Fei's forehead, Xu Shu smiled and guessed: "Did the Third General go on a horse or shoot arrow today?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "Jingzhou is really cold this year. Big brother, second brother is now separated by the same place. I can only stay at home to play tops. The toy of Lan Ziyu is quite good, and it will be warm after a few whips."

"The Lord General Yan whips his soldiers after drinking. How is it going after playing with the top?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Zhang Fei scratched his head and smiled silly: "I haven't beaten soldiers for two years. I don't like their cowardly screams, but I'm still trying to pull the tops..."

Seeing this, Zhao Yun laughed out loud. Not only was Zhang Fei not angry, but he said expectantly: "Didn't you say Ziyu brought me a gift? Where?"

Zhuge Liang pulled out a newspaper from the wooden box and handed it to Zhang Fei and said, "Here, this is the good thing Zi Yu brought from Quanling."

Zhang Fei held the newspaper in his hand and said with confusion: "Yangtze River Newspaper...what is this gift? It can only be used as a story for entertainment..."

Zhuge Liang quipped: "There will be new every two months from now on. If Yide doesn't like it, it won't be delivered to you. Anyway, the number is not large..."

Zhang Fei gave Zhuge Liang a blank look and hooked his thick arms around Lantian's neck, showing a very intimate move.

"I have a good relationship with Ziyu. There is no reason why Xinbao will not show me. I was listening to you outside the door just now and I would send troops from Jingzhou to Yizhou?" Zhang Fei asked leaning against Lantian's ear.

Lantian nodded and said, "The lord only has 30,000 troops now. If he can really capture Yizhou with this little force, Cao Cao will probably have to fight all the world..."

"Nanjun and Jiangxia are only more than 20,000 soldiers, and Jingnan has less than 20,000 troops. I don't know how many temporary recruits can be. If you really want to draw troops to Yizhou to help your eldest brother, what will your second brother use to fight against Cao Cao?" Zhang Fei asked worriedly.

Zhuge Liang: "I have raised some money and food in the past two years. There is too much population in Nanjun moved by Cao Cao. It is not possible to restore the source of troops every day. The lord's soldiers who entered Sichuan were still recruited from Jingnan..."

Lantian smiled and said, "These are not problems. I have been preparing food, armor, and weapons. Jingnan has not been affected by wars over the years. In fact, there are still sufficient sources of troops available. Then, you should be able to recruit another 30,000 soldiers..."

Xu Shu reminded: "Ziyu, don't forget Jiaozhou. If the soldiers from Jiangdong move south in large numbers, how can you be born if you have no available soldiers?"

"I heard that after Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, he built warships and trained naval forces in the Huai and Si waters. Now Xiahou Yuantun guarded Chang'an to fight against Yongliang. Cao Cao's main force is empty. Do you think he will attack Jiangdong? After all, Zhou Yu, the most capable person, is no longer there, and Sun Quan should not have the intention to seize Jiaozhou now..." Lantian analyzed.

"Ziyu makes sense. The prestige of Lu Zijing, the great governor, is not as prestige as Zhou Yu. Jiangdong's military power is now concentrated in Sun Quan's hands. With such a suspicious personality, he will definitely not be Ziyu's opponent. If he sends a general like Lu Meng to take it, he should not be Ziyu's opponent." Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed.

Zhang Fei nodded, "I agree with the military advisor's point of view. There are people like Gao Boping and Gan Ning under Ziyu's tent. How could Jiangdong Rats be his opponent..."

After everyone chatted and reminiscing about the past, Zhang Fei rumbling twice, and then he shouted: "Military advisor, Ziyu finally came to Jiangling. What have we prepared to entertain him? Why not get some wine to warm up first?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the wine you want will arrive later. It is natural to eat shabu shabu in the cold winter. Then let Ziyu make a dip dish to keep you happy."

Zhang Fei frowned and replied: "What's wrong with me? It's mainly because Ziyu travels far away. He should be hungry now..."

Lantian called Gao Yuan to say a few words in his ear, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "Last month, Jiaozhi sent a lot of seafood. This time I came to Jiangling, I also took some. The military advisor asked someone to take him to the kitchen to prepare."

"I'll take General Gao there." Zhao Yun volunteered.

Zhang Fei was happy to hear it, "There should be abalone in seafood? I almost forgot the taste of it. I haven't eaten the best and longevity for a while. Will Ziyu be able to make this with you?"

Lantian smiled and said, "There is no abalone this time, it is another good thing, I guarantee you like it."

"Can it be a sea cucumber? I don't like eating that thing, and I don't like it anymore..." Zhang Fei frowned.

"It's not a sea cucumber, you'll know it after a while." Lan Tian said.

Zhang Fei shook his head with his mouth flattered, "It's really unpleasant..."

When cooking wine and shabu shabu were served on the table one after another, but Zhang Fei was thinking about Lantian’s seafood.

After several rounds of toasts, Zhang Fei noticed that Gao Yuan had returned, and the maid then brought a wooden plate to each table, which contained eight strange-shaped objects.

Zhuge Liang picked up one and asked, "Ziyu, is this an oyster?"
