Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Not to mention that Cao Cao's main force is facing the generals of Kansai in Tongguan, even if he really goes south to Jingzhou, this lineup may not necessarily lose.

Because the situation in Jiaozhou is not optimistic, Lan Tian brought Gan Qian and Adou back to Quanling. He assigned Gao Yuan to guard Adou every day. There is no chance to save Adou by cutting the river, but there is no guarantee that Sun Quan will do something outrageous. Come on, if 'White Clothes Crossing the River' hijacks the child away, then there is no way to give Liu Bei a job.

The second day after Lantian returned to Quanling, Lu Tan came from Jiaozhou in a hurry.

When Lu Tan arrived at the pier, he hurried on his horse and whipped his horse. When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, his mouth was dry. Seeing this, Lan Tian asked someone to bring tea soup.

"General Lu, don't be in a hurry, drink some tea soup and speak slowly, the sky won't fall, could it be that Lu Meng is already approaching the city?" Lan Tian first comforted and then speculated.

Lu Tan was so thirsty that he drank impatiently and almost burned his throat. He patted his chest and calmed down before replying: "It's not like the soldiers are coming to the city. It's just that important news came from the South China Sea recently. Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, was going to Panyu for a banquet Captured and killed by Lu Meng..."

After listening to it, Lan Tian stood up and stood up. This script feels familiar, doesn't it?

"Lu Meng came so fast..." Lan Tian sighed.

"Wu Ju was lured and murdered by Lu Meng and shocked Jiaozhou. My brother-in-law wanted to send General Liang to send troops while Cangwu had no master, but General Liang wanted military orders from you or General Gan..." Lu Tan said.

Although Lai Gong is still the governor of Jiaozhou, he has completely handed over the military power after he took refuge in Liu Bei, and he must consult Quanling for any foreign attack.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Yu Lin's soldiers are only 5000, and Liang Tai's soldiers should not be moved lightly. Lu Meng's trap to kill Wu Ju is Tu Cangwu. How can you allow others to pick the fruits? Go back to Bushan County as soon as possible, and General Lai will pay close attention to Jiaozhi. Now Shi Xie's decision will determine the direction of Jiaozhou."

"Wei." Lu Tan responded with clasped fists when he received the order.

After sending Lu Tan away, Lantian immediately summoned Gao Shun, "Lu Meng has already trapped Cangwu and Wu Ju. If Cochin Shixie surrenders without a fight, Jiangdong's warships will point to Yulin County. You should let the trapped army get ready. , I really can't bear Jiaozhou to fall into Jiangdong's hands, but I can't move lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise Sun Quan will be angered and Jingzhou will be in danger."

Gao Shun nodded, and then suggested: "It's really easy to judge the entrapment army, why don't you let General Gan's people pretend?"

Lan Tian shook his head, "Gan Xingba once robbed the camp of Baiqi in Jiangxia, and he had a feud with Ling Tong to kill his father, so it may not have been firmly remembered. Besides, his navy only had more than [-] people. Bringing [-] Jiangdong elite..."

"Why don't you call Wuxi barbarians to help? Lu Meng and the others definitely don't know each other..." Gao Shun suggested again.

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, and thought that Lao Gao could do it. This proposal was very constructive. The officials and agricultural technicians sent to the Wuxi Barbarian area before had helped the barbarians complete the spring plowing. Now is the time for the Han barbarians to enjoy themselves.

Is Shamoko really willing to help?Lan Tian didn't have any promises of property or titles. From the time he sent the fur, he knew that this barbarian king was very rich, so it was not appropriate to appoint him a small official.

After all, a barbarian king of a large tribe like Shamoke cannot simply appoint an official to make a wish like Abu. If the barbarians are dissatisfied somewhere, the consequences of rebellion will be disastrous.

Lan Tian wrote a letter in person, earnestly asking Sha Moke to bring barbarians to help in the battle.

After writing the letter, Lan Tian handed it to Gao Shun and said: "Ask someone to deliver the letter to Gan Xingba, and ask him to pass it on to the barbarian king Sha Moke. If he can't get reinforcements from this way, let Gan Xingba lead the troops back alone. "

"If Gan Xingba withdraws, then the Wuxi barbarians..." Gao Shun was a little worried that they would rebel.

"It's okay, if you really want to rebel, I'll leave it to you." Lan Tian smiled confidently.

"Wei." Gao Shun nodded.

Lü Meng's army arrived in Panyu at the end of March. At this time, Wei Jing was pretending to be a tiger in the South China Sea. With less than a thousand people, he slowly cut off the influence of the scholars, but he had not yet fully controlled the place.

Salt and iron and state-owned wealth, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to implement the monopoly of salt and iron, which is the main source of tax revenue for the country. Panyu in Nanhai County and Gaoyao in Cangwu County are the only two salt-producing areas in Jiaozhou, and special salt officials have been set up. .

Birds die for food and people die for wealth. Although the Nanhai prefect Shiwu died strangely, it does not mean that the Shi family is willing to give up local interests, so private soldiers have been controlling the Panyu Salt Field.

Nanhai County is in the easternmost part of Jiaozhou. Shi Xie asked his younger brother to lead the Nanhai prefect just to control Panyu's salt industry. The way the wolf checks and balances Jiaozhou.

Wei Jing's soldiers were unable to seize the Panyu Salt Fields, and when Lv Meng's soldiers arrived, they had enough confidence in an instant.

Buildings, ships, warships, warships docked at the seaside wharf, land soldiers and horses stationed outside Panyu City, their swords and guns flashing coldly, and their awe-inspiring aura scared off the remaining forces of the Nanhai County scholars.

After Lu Meng took control of Nanhai County, he sent someone to Cangwu Guangxin to invite Wu Ju to discuss the matter under the pretext of attacking Yulin's Lai Gong.

Wu Ju was forced by Jiangdong's military power and dared not not go, so the two sides agreed to meet at Gaoyao at the junction of Cangwu and the South China Sea. For this reason, Wu Ju brought two thousand elites with him.

Yushui runs across the west and east of Jiaozhou, and finally enters the sea from Nanhai County. Gaoyao County is at the bottom of Yushui.

The Jiangdong water army is well-trained, and the warships flowed into the Yushui and faced Gaoyao, and they docked by the riverside were spectacular, compared with the small boat Wu Ju was on.

At this time, it was an April day in the world, and the wind on the gloomy water was blowing freshly. Wu Ju boarded Lu Meng's big boat with a feeling of apprehension.

The building boat is tall and majestic, so it is called Louchuan because it is hugged on the boat. Lu Meng's building boat is the main ship for the battle of Jiaozhou. At this time, the three main masts have been stowed, and three stories are built on the top of the deck, ten feet high, and each floor is surrounded by half-person-high parapets. There are arrow holes and spear holes on the top. Since it can be attacked from a distance and defended from a short distance, it can accommodate thousands of soldiers.

The building boat is lying across the river, and several layers of archers are shooting condescendingly, like a moving fortress. In front of this giant, Wu Ju's boat is like a fish and shrimp facing a shark. , The price is high, so there are only eight ships in the entire Jiangdong.

The building boat was huge, and horses and cars could be walked on the deck. After Wu Ju boarded the boat, a small school came to welcome him on horseback.

"General Lu, General Wei..." After the meeting, Wu Ju saluted Lu Meng and Wei Jing.

Lu Meng nodded his head in return. He had asked someone to set up a table on the deck early on, signaling Wu Ju to sit opposite him.

"How did General Wu see my Jiangdong Navy?" Lu Meng asked proudly.

"The Jiangdong navy is indeed invincible in the world. No wonder they were able to defeat Cao Cao in Chibi. I admire it, I admire it..." Wu Ju said.

Although Wu Ju was flattering on the surface, he was still a little upset in his heart. The Jiangdong navy is so powerful, but they came to Jiaozhou to bully us?Can you go to fight Hefei and Xiangyang?

Chapter 197 The Unlucky Chicken

From the moment he went upstairs to the boat, Wu Ju was in danger. Although there were dozens of guards following him, he looked like a dog to Lu Meng.

Before making an example to others, Lu Meng wanted to find out the real situation of Yulin County, so he was not in a hurry to act.

"I heard that the general once attacked Bushan County and drove Lai Gong to Tanzhong County. Why did he lose and go back?" Lu Meng asked puzzled.

Wu Ju sighed and said: "Lai Gong is mediocre and incompetent. He was almost driven out of Jiaozhou, but then suddenly thousands of soldiers appeared. No matter how powerful the water and land battles are, I really can't beat him..."

"Sea and land battles are good? Have you found out the details?" Lu Meng was surprised that there were such troops in Jiaozhou.

"After Lai Gong regained Yu Lin, he guarded the main road. I also found out the situation of that army through a special route. It is very likely that they were Yue people recruited from the west of Yu Lin..." Wu Ju analyzed.

As soon as Lu Meng heard about the Yue soldiers, he immediately became a little disdainful. I, Jiangdong, have wiped out many Shanyue rebellions. These alien races are easy to buy, but they have no loyalty. Isn't Lai Gong's use of the Yue people to lure wolves into the house?Maybe Yulin County has been controlled by those Yue people.

Looking at the melancholy on Wu Ju's face, I thought to myself that I thought of you as a person before, but I didn't expect to be so stupid. You are good at all kinds of water and land battles. It's all because you can't do it yourself, okay?

"Wu Taishou's special route, could it be that Yue people's caravan? I remember their leader is Abu." Wei Jing interrupted suddenly.

Wu Ju nodded, "That's the caravan, but after Abu passed away, the new leader of the caravan is Ustin."

Lu Meng thought that this guy would evade this topic, but Wu Ju actually said it quite frankly.

"I heard that the Yue people's caravans often travel to and from Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. General Wu has close contacts with them. They must have bought a lot of good things from the south of the Lingnan and the north of the Lingnan?" Lu Meng asked meaningfully.

Seeing this, Wu Ju quickly took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it over, and said with a smile: "General Lu came to Jiaozhou for the first time, but he didn't know there were many miasmas and poisonous insects here. Curing diseases and disasters is a magic medicine that is hard to buy, so I begged to give it to the general..."

Wei Jing's heart tightened when he saw the wooden box, and he was even more suspicious when he heard Wu Ju's introduction of the name, so he quickly took it for Lu Meng.

Opening the wooden box, the two brown pills inside were clearly the green pills sent by Shi Xie.

Wei Jing was dumbfounded, changed the name of the pill and offered poison again?Are these people in Jiaozhou stupid?The same trick was used one after another.

"Is this the legendary green pill?" Wei Jing turned the wooden box upside down and asked Wu Ju.

"General Wei knew this thing before? I don't need to introduce its medicinal effect, hahaha." Wu Ju replied with a silly smile.

Lu Meng had never seen Lu Wan before, but he guessed it immediately after hearing the conversation between Wu Ju and Wei Jing.

It has only been half a year since Bu Zhi passed away, and you have prepared a way for me to die again?

Lu Meng frowned and said, "I appreciate General Wu's kindness. I don't have the good fortune to accept such a magical medicine. Why don't you take it yourself now?"

Wu Ju was taken aback, and said awkwardly, "Is General Lu joking with me? I'm not sick and I'm taking any medicine..."

Lu Meng stood up and snorted coldly, "Is it possible that I, Lu Meng, are sick?"

"Uh... I have no other intentions, I just let the general prepare for emergencies..." Wu Ju quickly explained.

"Tie me up." Lu Meng suddenly waved his hand.

The guards on the ship rushed over like tigers and wolves, and Wu Ju's guards drew their swords to resist immediately, and blood spattered the deck in an instant.

Wu Ju was alone with his sword on his chest. He stared at Lu Meng and Wei Jing, swallowed his saliva and said, "What do you mean? I have already surrendered to Sun Cheqi..."

Wei Jing knocked out the long sword in Wu Ju's hand while he didn't have a spare sword to block. Several men pressed him on the deck, and then he was tied up and thrown there.

"I still have [-] elite soldiers with me, why are you treating me like this?" Wu Ju was full of disbelief, rolling on the deck like rice dumplings.

Lu Meng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "You are called two thousand elite soldiers? When we were talking just now, I dispatched a few fighting ships to recruit them. How can you call them elite soldiers at that level?"

"Lu Ziming, I have no grievances with you Jiangdong, why do you treat me like this?" Wu Ju said struggling.

Wu Ju was bound and struggling just now, and now his hair is disheveled and in a mess. Lu Meng squatted down and looked at him with disdain, and said meaningfully: "I don't see that you are quite clever. The former snatched Buzishan's life-saving pills. Now you use it to murder me, how dare you say that you have no grievances against me?"

"No...Ziming, did you make a mistake? I have never taken any life-saving pills, let alone use them to harm you. What's going on here?" Wu Ju looked innocent.

Lu Meng smiled and said to Wei Jing: "Brother Ziqi, you see this guy is still pretending to be serious."

Wei Jing picked up a green pill and walked in front of Wu Ju, "Did you buy this green pill from Abu's caravan?"

Wu Ju was a little slow, and then answered honestly: "This is what Ustin honored to me at that time..."

"Ustin honored two green pills at that time?" Wei Jing asked coldly.

Wu Ju blinked first, and then shook his head violently: "At that time, there was a ship of goods. If General Wei needed it, I would send someone to Panyu right away."

"No need, I can't bear General Wu's great gift." Wei Jing's tone was eccentric, you hijacked the ship and still acted with me here.

"Ziqi, give General Wu the magical medicine he brought for himself." Lu Meng shook his head and said.

"only."

Wei Jing also took the other one in the wooden box, and the two Qinghao pills were forcibly fed into Wu Ju's mouth. He originally thought that this person would be very resistant, but unexpectedly he swallowed them cooperatively.

"General Wu, how does this Qinghao pill taste?" Lu Meng asked condescendingly with his hands behind his back and his waist bowed.

"A bit bitter..." Wu Ju replied at a loss.

Lu Meng straightened his body, and said with a sneer, "Bitter is right, General Wu is the prefect of Cangwu, how can he lose water after taking this magic medicine?"

"No need, you're too polite..." Wu Ju fell to the ground, not knowing where he was guilty, so he could only follow Lu Meng's wishes and find a way to survive.

"You're welcome, Yushui should be enough for you to drink..." Lu Meng nodded to Wei Jing, and the next few strong men lifted Wu Ju up, and the soldiers walked slowly towards the bow of the ship.

Wu Ju's face turned pale with fright, and his body became trembling. He hurriedly struggled and shouted: "Are you really going to kill me? Why is that?"

"My lord wants to occupy Jiaozhou, and I want to kill you as a chicken to show the monkeys. General Lu is giving you a pleasure. Do you know how Brother Zishan and Abu died?" Wei Jing shook his head and sneered.

Wu Ju's eyes widened, he couldn't care less about asking how Bu Zhi and A Bu died, because he didn't want to be this unlucky chicken.

Chapter 198 Sun Quan: The girl is not up to date

"I really belong to Sun Cheqi, why do I have to kill me to stand up? Who would dare to vote for Jiangdong? Lai Gong, Shi Xie and the others can't be chickens?" Wu Ju was still struggling, wanting to survive at a critical moment. Somewhat unbearable.

"There is a difference between a chicken and a monkey. You don't know what to do? Ziqi, send Prefect Wu to the road." Lu Meng looked stern.

"Wei." Wei Jing immediately ordered the guards to carry Wu Ju away.

"Why? Why?" Wu Ju babbled like Mrs. Xianglin.

When the guards carried Wu Ju to the edge of the building, Wu Ju seemed to have thought of something. He shouted loudly: "I am friends with Liu Xuande, the shepherd of Jingzhou. Aren't Sun Cheqi and him in-laws? Can you spare my life... "

"No." Lu Meng raised his hand, and the two guards threw Wu Ju out.

Plop.

There was a huge splash in the gloomy water.

With his hands and feet bound, Wu Ju slowly sank into the gloomy water.

Lu Meng and Wei Jing walked to the bow of the boat, saw a few bubbles appear on the water surface, and then there was no more movement.

It's good that Wu Ju didn't mention Liu Bei. The mention of Liu Bei made him angry. Zhou Yu died suddenly shortly after leaving Jiangxia. Many generals in Jiangdong believed that Fu Shiren was poisoned in the wine.

"General, what should we do next?" Wei Jing asked.

Lu Meng patted the side of the boat, and said with a serious expression: "The chicken has been killed. It depends on how the monkeys react. It is best to take Jiaozhou without bloodshed. This navy still has to return to the Yangtze River as soon as possible. My lord only gave me half a year." .”

"Wu Ju is dead now, should we send troops to occupy Cangwu?" Wei Jing suggested.

Lu Meng nodded and said, "The monkey in Jiaozhou is Shi Xie, and Lai Gong is nothing more than another chicken. Ziqi first sent people to Yunkai Mountain, and cooperated to take down Cangwu County. By the way, let's see Lai Gong's reaction. I will go back to the army." Panyu is waiting for news from Jiaozhi and Hepu."

Wei Jing was a little hesitant, "I only have a thousand soldiers in the South China Sea, and there are only a few hundred people on Yunkai Mountain. If Lai Gongxing troops come to attack, what can I do? Wu Ju said that the group of Yue soldiers are a bit powerful."

Lu Meng pointed to the Cangwu battleships not far away, "How can Wu Ju's words be true? Those powerful Yue soldiers are only relative to Cangwu's soldiers, besides, he left two thousand soldiers for you , Pan Wengui has already controlled it just now, why should Ziqi worry?"

Wei Jing nodded, "What is Zi Ming going to do with the remaining chickens and monkeys?"

Lu Meng raised his head and thought for a while, "Shi Xie has been operating in Jiaozhou for decades. If he uses troops to attack, he may suffer a lot of losses. If he knows the truth, I will appeal to the lord to appease him, so that we can concentrate our forces to take down Yu Lin. Liu Bei Jingnan is also surrounded by us."

"It's enough for the general to capture Jiaozhou. My lord has an alliance with Liu Xuande, so if I attack Jingnan rashly, I may injure my lord." Wei Jing reminded.

Lu Meng shook his head, "In the battle of Chibi in the past, I spent a lot of money and food in Jiangdong, but didn't get the benefits I deserved. Then Liu Xuande easily occupied Jingzhou. Ziqi thought the lord was convinced? In the future, I will take back what belongs to us for the lord.

Of course, if you really want to attack Jingzhou, you will also use the Yangtze River waterway, but in order to lead the overall situation, although the south of the Lingnan and the north of the Lingnan are not easy to pass, the front and rear attack can make the opponent lose sight of the other. "

"I see the shadow of the Great Governor in Ziming, and maybe he will be able to command Jiangdong's troops in the future." Wei Jing said flatteringly.
