Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Brother, Xiao Peiruo has broken lips, dead teeth, and Xuande and I, including this Gan's village, are we finished?" Gan Qian said.

"Okay, then I'll help you once." Lan Tian nodded in response.

After finishing speaking, Lan Tian took out a bamboo slip, and then carved the number ten with a small knife. The bamboo said: If the technique is broken, the generals connected to Mount Tai in the north can be saved if they are placed in the surrounding area.

After carving, he found a bamboo basket, put the bamboo slips on the bottom of the basket and covered several layers of grape leaves, and finally put several bunches of ripe grapes in the basket.

Afterwards, Lan Tian called Li Yang, the servant of the village, and said: "Go to Xiapi quickly, and give this grape to General Gao Shun."

Li Yang was originally a refugee in Jingluo, who almost starved to death in the military disaster of Cao Bandit. Later, he got Lantian to guide him in Ganjiazhuang, and now he has solved the food and clothing for the whole family.

Regarding Lan Tian's words, Li Yang took it as an imperial decree, expressing that he would definitely handle the job well.

After Li Yang left, Gan Qian asked suspiciously, "Will General Gao Shun speak for you?"

"Sister, don't worry, Gao Shun won't, and Lu Lingqi will too."

"Then I'll go back to Xiaopei first."

"Sister, bring some grapes back to quench my thirst." The grapes on the shelf were ripe at this time, and the taste would be even better in the second year. Lan Tian picked a lot and asked Gan Qian to take them back.

Gan Qian thought about taking it back for Liu Bei to taste, so she readily accepted it.

After returning to Xiaopei, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang were discussing how to defend against the enemy. Gan Qian washed some grapes and brought them to the table, "Husband, please taste the two uncles. These are the grapes planted by my righteous brother."

There is a disparity in military strength, and it is meaningless to discuss it.

Zhang Fei picked a grape and bit it into pieces. His mouth was full of sweet and juicy pulp. He pointed at the plate with wide eyes and said, "Elder brother and second brother, quickly taste it. The grapes brought by my sister-in-law are really delicious."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu didn't want to eat it at first, but Zhang Fei's expression was exaggerated at this time, and he stuffed one after another into his mouth, so they both tried to taste it, and it was really delicious as Zhang Fei said.

"Madam worked hard, went home to visit relatives, and brought this delicacy to our brothers to taste." Liu Bei said.

"Husband is out of touch. This is all cultivated by Ziyu, and the slave family just brought it along."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Lan Ziyu, I heard from my second brother before that he is good at farming?"

"It's fairly proficient." Gan Qian replied.

"Brother, why don't you give him the job of a farmer, he is also talented." Zhang Fei suggested.

"I once invited him to be a scribe with my eldest brother, but unfortunately Lan Ziyu refused. This kid said that he likes farming." Guan Yu also spoke.

Seeing this, Gan Qian argued: "Ziyu is not only good at farming, he is also very good at using schemes, husband, you are not as good as..."

"Ma'am has worked hard all the way, so I'd better go back to rest early, let's talk about other things after Ji Ling has retired." Before Gan Qian finished speaking, she interrupted Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has ruled the world for many years, although Gan Qian didn't finish her words, but he already knew that the latter was nothing more than trying to help Lantian find a good position, although Mi Zhu was reused by him, it was because the other party was actually paying for it.

What can the Gan family do?Mouth?

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, use conspiracy?Is this bullying me that Liu Bei is brainless?

Lan Tian wants to rely on nepotism, but Liu Bei can only say that there is no way now.

Chapter 19 The Grape Messenger

After Gao Shun's military training in the school field, he returned to the trapped camp and found a bamboo basket in his tent. His subordinates told him that a farmer from Xiaopei had brought it.

He vaguely felt that it had something to do with Lantian, but when he opened the bamboo basket, it was just a basket of grapes. Was it just to give this?

Gao Shun is cautious, he took out all the grapes, and finally found the bamboo slip at the bottom of the basket. Lan Tian's meaning was simple and concise, that is, he wanted Lu Bu to rescue Liu Bei.

Gao Shun's political consciousness is very high, and his loyalty to Lu Bu will not be shaken because of his friendship with Lan Tian.

He left a bunch of grapes, and gave all the rest to Lu Lingqi, and told her that there was a letter from the bottom of the basket.

Lu Lingqi owed Lan Tian a favor, and if she didn't pay it back, it was up to the girl to volunteer.

After getting the grapes from Lantian, Lu Lingqi's face was full of happiness. She learned to put the grapes in wooden barrels and put them in well water to freeze them.

During the period of chilling the grapes, Lu Lingqi hid in her boudoir and took out the bamboo slips to look at carefully, but it was a pity that there was no content of her own for a few words, and she still kept the bamboo slips even though she was angry.

Although the handwriting was quite ugly, it was a gift from Lan Tian to her. Lu Lingqi didn't know how difficult it was for her to practice handwriting, and it was even more difficult to engrave words on the bamboo slips. Being able to recognize them was not bad.

Although Lu Lingqi has a bold personality, she is not stupid. For Lan Tian's invitation, she will not go to Lu Bu foolishly, but first serve the washed and chilled grapes to her mother Yan to taste.

In autumn, the grapes are dark purple and black, and they are too ripe to be ripe. After eating them, Yan nodded his approval and asked: "The taste of these grapes is excellent, even better than the ones you picked in Xiaopei. I don't know where my son came from." Where can I find it?"

"It was General Gao who happened to meet me in the city. He knew that I like this food, so he bought some and gave it to me." Lu Lingqi said.

"Boping has a noble character, and the general asked him to teach you, which is regarded as a wise eye." Yan sighed.

"Well, although General Gao did not follow his father from Bingzhou like Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian did, his extraordinary talent and self-discipline have won his father's trust."

Gao Shun's character is clear to Yan, she ate a few pills and suddenly thought of that peasant boy, "Lingqi, do you remember that peasant boy in the past? Back in Xiaopei you often went to his house to eat and drink. "

"Mom, you mean Lan Ziyu? This guy is very good at farming, and he thinks he's doing well in Xiaopei, but..."

"Just what?"

Lu Lingqi paused for a moment before sighing: "It's just that Ji Ling is going to attack Xiaopei now, and I don't know if this sword with no eyes will harm Chiyu..."

"The world is in chaos now, and it's not our woman's turn to worry about these military affairs." Yan shook his head.

"My son heard that Yuan Shu will be punished for his grievances, and his father and Shou Chun will postpone their marriage, so that person will be offended..." Lu Lingqi was a little worried.

Yan sighed: "The general has a long-term plan, but it's a pity that your marriage has been delayed..."

"My daughter is not worried about marrying. If Ji Ling breaks Xiaopei and Yuan Shu goes north to attack the generals of Mount Tai, wouldn't our Xuzhou be in danger?" Lu Lingqi continued.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan was very surprised, and asked in surprise: "Could someone teach you? Is it Chen Gongtai?"

Lu Lingqi shook her head, "I saw this bamboo basket for grapes just now, and I suddenly felt something. Mother, do you want to remind father? His subordinates have their own selfish motives..."

"Well, I don't need this reason. Only my family is one-hearted. I will send some grapes later, and remind him by the way." Yan said.

The weather in autumn was still unbearably hot. At noon, Lu Bu was sitting in the small pavilion in the backyard drinking wine to enjoy the coolness, and Yan Shi followed him with chilled grapes.

"Is there something like this in Xiapi? Where did Madam find it?" Lu Bu asked while eating.

"General Gao came across it by chance and bought it for his daughter. You are in the honor of Lingqi." Yan covered her sleeves and smiled.

"Boping has become tactful recently, but it's a pity that this guy doesn't know how to drink. It's a great pity in life..." Lu Bu sighed.

"General, what do you think this bamboo basket looks like?" Yan asked meaningfully.

"Square and square, what do you think it looks like?" Lu Bu didn't know what Yan meant.

Yan pointed to a grape in the basket and said: "If this is our Xiapi, the whole bamboo basket will be the Qingxu area. General, do you think it looks like it?"

"Hahaha, madam actually told me about the art of war. It's interesting, what else?"

"If Liu Bei's Xiaopei is defeated by Ji Ling, and Yuan Shu goes north to the generals of Mount Tai, the general's Xuzhou will be completely surrounded by Yuan Shu..." After Yan finished speaking, he threw the grape representing Xiaopei into the mouth.

Lu Bu was originally leaning on the chair. Hearing what Yan said, his back suddenly felt cold in the hot weather. After sitting upright, he asked, "Who taught Madam what you said?"

"Is there anyone to teach it? It's nothing more than my slave's feeling..." Yan was afraid that what she said was wrong and that Lu Bu would scold her daughter, so she carried it alone.

"Madam is right. Saving Liu Bei is equivalent to saving Xuzhou. Change clothes with me quickly." Lu Bu stood up.

Due to the urgency of time, Lu Bu put on the cloak and went ahead with Cheng Lian.

They were accompanied by more than a thousand personal guards. Before leaving, Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun to stay at Xiapi, and Zhang Liao led the rear army to Xiaopei to meet him.

At this time, Ji Ling's army had reached the village [-] miles away from Xiaopei. Zhang Fei led [-] cavalry out of the city to fight, and fought Ji Ling twice.

Zhang Fei was brave and invincible. After Ji Ling learned the lesson, he decided to let the army surround Xiaopei and attack it. 3 people attacked in circles. Liu Bei could only send people to defend the city.

When Xiaopei fought, all nearby farms closed their doors, fearing that the fish in the pond would be harmed.

Seeing Lan Tian sitting in the room thinking, Gan Ji asked, "Why is your plan for Qian'er ineffective? If Xiaopei City is broken, I'm worried that Yuan Shu's subordinates will not be as polite as General Gao. Isn't your sister in danger?" What?"

"Father, don't worry, there are thousands of soldiers in Xiaopei City, enough to resist Ji Ling for several days, I expect Lu Bu will come to rescue." Lan Tian said confidently.

"I hope so, I would have brought your sister back if I had known." Ganji sighed.

After Ganji finished speaking, Lantian seemed to think of something, he opened the door and slipped out of the house, and finally went to the grove behind the house.

"Tian'er, what are you going to do?" Ganji asked in a subdued voice after chasing after him.

"Father, you go back first, I'll go to the back to urinate..."

Ganji was speechless for a moment, and said to himself that there is no urinal at home, you don't farm the land now, don't you want to leave some manure (fertilizer) to water the vegetables?

Ji Ling attacked the city until the evening of the second day. He knew that Xiaopei City was short of soldiers and food, and could basically take it in two or three days.

Ji Ling was shocked when he heard this, and wondered if Liu Bei's rescuers had come?So Ming Jin withdrew his troops and stopped the siege.

After returning to the camp, the scouts reported again that the cavalry was flying the Lu character banner.

At this time, Ji Ling already knew that it was Lu Bu who was coming, and he didn't know whether he was here to help him or Liu Bei, so he immediately ordered the whole camp to be on alert.

After Lu Bu's vanguard arrived, they camped in the southwest of Xiaopei, only three or five miles away from Ganjiazhuang.

Lan Tian saw the torches like a long dragon outside the house, and guessed that the mediator Lu Bu should have arrived.

This thing is done.

Chapter 20 Shooting a halberd at the gate, I, Lu Bu, am not aggressive

After Lu Bu's team arrived, both Liu Bei and Ji Ling had lingering fears, fearing that this villain would help each other repeatedly, so they maintained a high level of vigilance even during the truce.

The next morning, Lu Bu sent people to Xiaopei's and Ji Ling's camps respectively, and invited them to discuss matters in their own camps.

At this time, Zhang Liao's follow-up troops of [-] people have arrived, and they are completely capable of controlling the situation of this battle.

When the two parties heard that Lu Bu had come to invite them, they mistakenly thought that this guy would help them, so they came to Lu Bu's camp full of expectations.

Liu Bei's Xiaopei is near the road, so Guan and Zhang arrived first.

Lu Bu welcomed the three of them into the tent in person, and after sitting down, the guy said mysteriously: "I invite you to come here today, especially to relieve Xiaopei's siege. We will never forget each other's ambitions."

Liu Bei was startled for a moment, then clasped his fists in embarrassment to express his gratitude, saying that you stabbed me in the back and took Xuzhou away, and now you are acting hypocritical?

thank you.

Then Ji Ling also entered the big tent, but found that Liu Guanzhang and the others had arrived.

Seeing this scene, Ji Ling panicked instantly. He turned around and wanted to rush out the door, but was blocked by Lu Bu.

"General Lu is going to kill me?" Ji Ling looked around and asked Lu Bu cautiously.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, "No."

"Is that to kill Liu Bei?" Ji Ling asked again.

Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open at this time, and he shouted: "Ji Ling, are you looking for a fight?"

This person and Zhang Fei fought for dozens of rounds a few days ago. This enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and the two immediately started arguing, but Ji Ling was alone at this time, and the opponent had Liu Guan by his side, so he dealt with it The sentence became dumb.

At this moment, the atmosphere was tense, and Lu Bu said leisurely, "Everyone..."

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei's hand, and Ji Ling sat down the donkey to the side, wanting to see what this fellow wanted to do.

"Everyone, sit down and listen to Bu's words. I'm here today to reconcile your two families." Lu Bu said.

Ji Ling asked helplessly: "May I ask the general how to solve it?"

Lu Bu said solemnly: "I, Lu Bu, have never been fighting in my life, so I had no choice but to fight. Everyone in the world thinks that I love fighting fiercely. This is a big fallacy. Today's banquet is not a Hongmen banquet, but a good one. Just look at me, Lu Bu, and go your own way." Let the soldiers stop, and the Liu and Yuan families won't hurt their peace, how about it?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei and Ji Ling were beating their hearts out. How could there be harmony between the Liu and Yuan families?

At the beginning, when Liu Bei was the shepherd of Xuzhou, Cao Cao had no time to go east and promised to make him an official, and ordered him to conquer Huainan in the name of the court.

At that time, when Liu Bei first led Xuzhou, he was still in a state of instability and insufficient food and grass, but he was still ordered to lead the army to the south, and was defeated by Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Yuan Shu is a man who will retaliate and bullies the weak and fears the strong. He thinks he can't beat Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but he is more than enough to deal with Liu Bei who has no foundation.

After defeating Liu Bei in Huainan, he chased after Liu Bei to Guangling. Liu Bei begged Lu Bu to surrender when he was desperate.

Now that Lu Bu has come forward to mediate, the situation is beneficial to Liu Bei, so he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Ji Ling was in a hurry here, he was just a general under Yuan Shu, and he didn't dare to make a decision for the lord, so he said, "My lord ordered me to lead an army of [-] troops to come here to arrest Liu Bei..."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang interrupted and said angrily: "You are so angry, what about [-] soldiers? It's like a child's play for me to kill you!"

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he was about to draw his sword, but Guan Yu was there to dissuade him, "Third brother, come on slowly, and let's see how General Lu resolves the fight. If not, it won't be too late to return to the camp to fight."

Ji Ling shook his head and snorted coldly, "Jie Dou? That's easy to say..."

"Ji Ling, don't be arrogant." Zhang Fei shouted.

"I'm still afraid you won't succeed?"
