Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"It's not because my daughter loves you, so treat her better in the future." Yan said.

Lu Bu nodded, sat in the pavilion and continued drinking to relieve boredom.

After experiencing Hao Meng's rebellion, the mansion where Lu Bu lived added many armored guards.

Not long after, a guard in the front yard came to report that Xu had sent a letter.

Lu Bu opened the book bag, and it turned out that Cao Cao interceded for Liu Bei.

Cao Cao said in the letter that he wanted to present Lu Bu as Xuzhou shepherd, and that Liu Bei had made great contributions to the crusade against Yuan Shu. The imperial court had named him Yuzhou shepherd and made him stationed in Xiaopei temporarily. He asked Lu Bu to make peace with Liu Bei and stop the war. Cut down on Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu's Xuzhou Mu is self-proclaimed, and Liu Bei's Yuzhou Inspector is represented by Tao Qian, neither of which has been officially recognized by the court. Now Cao Cao is serving the emperor to order him not to be a minister, and the official appointment by the court has a different meaning.

Lu Bu was overjoyed after receiving the letter, so he sent someone to send a message to Zhang Liao, asking him to hand over to Liu Bei as soon as possible, and then let Liu Bei station in Xiaopei.

Because of the sneak attack on Yanzhou before, Lu Bu and Cao Cao had a deep hatred. Now that Cao Cao is showing favor to himself for Liu Bei, he will naturally go down the slope.

After the previous battle of Xiaopei, Lu Bu re-estimated Liu Bei's combat power. Those newly recruited soldiers who lacked training and war baptism at least did not pose much threat to him.

After Zhang Liao received Lu Bu's military order, he took the initiative to send people to Yuzhou to look for Liu Bei's trace.

After Liu Bei fled to Xudu, he was warmly received by Cao Cao. Not only was he formally designated as Yuzhou Shepherd, but he was also allocated thousands of soldiers and food, allowing him to return to Xiaopei to gather the old troops and help the court contain Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

After Zhang Liao's handover, he led his army back to Xiapi to return to his command, and Xiaopei's captured family members returned to Liu Bei.

"Why didn't you see Mrs. Gan?" Liu Bei didn't see Gan Qian among the family members, so he asked everyone suspiciously.

Mi Zhen: "After the city was broken, she was not brought back to Xiaopei, and she may still be in Gan's Village at this time..."

"My lord..." Mi Zhu hesitated to speak.

"Zizhong has been suffering these days, so you may as well speak up if you have anything to say." Liu Bei said.

"After Lu Bu broke the city, he had no money to work for the army, and Xiaopei had many ties to Chen Hanyu, so he allowed his soldiers to plunder the villages outside the city. I'm afraid the Gan family village will not be spared, and Mrs. Gan's safety is not easy to say..." Mi Zhu Said slowly.

Grabbing goods and food is second to none, Mrs. Gan lives like a flower, if he is insulted by those thieves, Liu Xuande's face will be dull.

"Second brother, you stay at Xiaopei to appease the generals, and my third brother and I will go to Ganjiazhuang." Liu Bei said.

"Brother, let's go, my sister-in-law is lucky, she is expected to be harmless." Guan Yu comforted.

The two left the city quickly, Liu Bei still liked Gan Qian more than his political marriage with Mi Zhen.

At this time, Gan Qian was also waiting anxiously at home. Zhang Liao was dispatched to lead the army to the south today. Lan Tian predicted that Liu Bei should have returned to Xiaopei. Has become a frightened bird.

Seeing that her foster brother was full of confidence, Gan Qian not only refused to go to the shelter, but also took the initiative to go to Zhuangshang to comfort the people.

Lan Tian's words should be true, Gan Qian is almost superstitious towards him now.

In less than half an hour, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei came to the village to look for someone. Naturally, Liu Bei was overjoyed to see Gan Qian's figure.

"Ma'am... how are you doing recently?" Liu Bei asked while holding Gan Qian's hand.

"The city was broken that day, and I hid in the shelter with my dad and brother, so I escaped the catastrophe." Gan Qian was afraid that Liu Bei would be suspicious, so she immediately explained.

"Shelter? Sister-in-law, what is a shelter?" Zhang Fei asked in a daze.

"Husband, uncle, please follow me." Gan Qian led the two of them directly to the back of the house.

Gan Qian knocked on the cover of the shelter, and then said to Gan Ji below: "Father, don't hide below, Xuande is here to find us."

There was only a creaking sound, and Ganji opened the lid to reveal his head.

"Brother, isn't this cover-up too realistic?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

Chapter 25 Liu Xuande invites Lan Ziyu

Ganji came up from the shelter to greet Liu Bei, and after a few pleasantries, he took him down to watch.

Food, water, warm clothes and quilts were stored in the shelter. Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't expect there to be a cave here. I think it's okay to hide in this place for ten days and half a month."

"Brother, the most amazing thing is that the concealment on the top is very ingenious. As long as you don't check carefully, you can hardly find the clue." Zhang Fei said.

"It would have been nice if this shelter had been built earlier, so Cao Cao wouldn't have massacred many people back then..." Ganji sighed recalling the past.

"Ma'am, I think this sanctuary is cleverly conceived, who came up with it?" Liu Bei asked.

Gan Qian: "It was built by Shedi after Lu Bu lifted the siege of Ji Ling. Now almost every household in the village is copying it, so he has been very busy recently."

"It turned out to be the farming boy, brother, he is really witty." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

Liu Bei also nodded, thinking that this Lan Ziyu is not useless.

After everyone came out of the shelter, Zhang Fei found out that the shelter was extremely concealed, so he said again: "Brother, you said that this method is also very good if it is used for ambush warfare?"

"If the camouflage is good enough, it should be enough to deceive the real one, but it takes a lot of time to build such a shelter?" Liu Bei asked.

"It took about [-] days. If there were more people, I would estimate ten days." Ganji replied.

Liu Bei came to the village to pick up Gan Qian, and Gan Ji asked them to stay at home for dinner, so he asked someone to call Lan Tian back.

Gan Qian cooked a few side dishes by herself, and the four men started drinking in the small courtyard of Gan's house.

"Brother, sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good. You are lucky. Come on, let's make three big bowls first." Zhang Fei held up the wine bowl and said boldly.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense in front of uncle..." Liu Bei scolded with a frown.

"It's okay, General Yide is heroic by nature, I'll have a drink with you, little old man." Ganji said with a smile.

"Actually, I learned from Ziyu, and his cooking skills are several times that of mine." Gan Qian said embarrassedly.

At this time, Zhang Fei sent the wine bowl to Lan Tian, ​​and said rudely: "I can't tell, you can farm, cook, and build shelters, but drinking is not as good as my old Zhang, and you won't it?"

"Third brother, why did you get drunk before drinking..." Liu Bei reminded.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "I have a limited capacity for alcohol, so I can't compete with the three generals. Besides, there is no end to learning. How can there be a perfect person in this world? I don't understand too much. For example, I am not as good as you when I mount a horse and fight..."

Zhang Fei patted Lan Tian on the shoulder and said, "That's the truth. Your words are very to the point."

Although Lan Tian kept smiling during the meeting, he didn't speak too much.

Seeing that Lan Tian has a calm personality, Liu Bei decided to recruit him for Gan Qian's affection.

After the meal, Liu Bei and Lan Tian walked out of the courtyard at the same time. Liu Bei took the lead in provoking the topic and asked, "Have you finished reading "Spring and Autumn" that Yun Chang sent you?"

"Well, I've read it for a long time, but I don't dare to keep the scroll that General Guan cherishes for a long time, so I asked my sister to return it..." Lan Tian replied.

"Second brother thinks highly of you. I don't know if you have any insights from reading "Spring and Autumn"?" Liu Bei asked again.

Lan Tian glanced at Liu Bei and said to himself, Uncle Emperor, are you planning to test me?After pondering for a moment, he said loudly: "With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs..."

Liu Bei was startled when he heard it, and thought that his second brother might not have the same understanding, so he tried some allusions in "Spring and Autumn" again, and Lan Tian had a good memory, so he could answer them fluently.

"Lan Ziyu, would you like to be a scribe with me?" Liu Bei personally invited Lan Tian.

Liu Bei can be regarded as someone who has seen the world. After the conversation between the two just now, he found that this person is quite eloquent, at least comparable to Jian Yong and Sun Qian.

Lan Tian looked at Liu Bei, and finally shook his head and said: "General kindness, forgive Lan Tian for not being able to follow orders, foster father is now staying in the countryside farming, I need to stay by my side to serve..."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "You have to be filial, I don't force it, but now the world is chaotic, how can your simple shelter block all the swords in the world? In short, you should do it yourself..."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he called Zhang Fei and Gan Qian, and they bid farewell to Lan Tian and his son and walked outside the village.

Looking at the backs of the three going away, Ganji asked beside Lantian, "Did you reject Xuande just now?"

"Um……"

"Why? I think Xuande is very sincere."

"Maybe I haven't figured it out yet."

"Life is short, Tian'er, don't think too long."

"I can save..."

Lan Tian is also very conflicted now. Although it is not easy to travel once, most people choose to have a vigorous one, but he really has no idea how much he has.

On leading troops in battle?In addition to watching "Wei Liaozi" and later war-themed film and television dramas, if Lan Tian copied it to a real battlefield, it would most likely be just talk on paper, right?

On governance?Lan Tian felt that he didn't have that kind of skill, especially in the Three Kingdoms period when the gentry were powerful and intertwined. A brother in Hebei like Liu Bei would have a bruised nose and a swollen face. How much trouble could he cause without any background?

At present, Lantian is most sure about farming to serve Ganji and protecting Ganqian with some small tricks. Being admitted to a graduate school proves that he has a good IQ, enough resilience, and the most important thing is a clear goal.

On the way back to Xiaopei, Liu Bei felt it was unbelievable, and thought, I, Liu Xuande, am so shameless?Can't you invite a young man even if you come out in person?At this time, he felt a little frustrated.

"Ma'am, I personally recruited Lan Ziyu to be a scribe just now, but unfortunately he refused..."

"What? This guy is so rude? Brother, do you want me to tie him back..."

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei looking at him with a dark face, and had no choice but to swallow the words behind him.

"Second Uncle said this before, maybe it's Ziyu who really wants to stay and be a filial piety..." Gan Qian said with her head lowered.

"Well, now my land is very small, and I don't have any good positions for him. It's a bit wronged to be a scribe with his knowledge..." Liu Bei sighed.

"Husband, Ziyu once said that Xuzhou's terrain is flat, and Xiaopei is located at the junction of the four prefectures of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Henan and Yanzhou, which is not a good place to start a business..." Gan Qian continued.

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said, "Why don't I know this? It's just that there are so many heroes competing for the title now, and it's enough to have Xiaopei's shelter. How can I make my own choice..."

"It's fine if Lan Tian refuses, but it's easy to miss the big deal by talking about it on paper." Zhang Fei echoed.

"The third brother should not be underestimated. Lan Ziyu is a man of great knowledge and has a good sense of the general trend. I think he will become a great weapon sooner or later."

After returning to the city, Liu Bei told Guan Yu what Lan Tian had learned from reading "Spring and Autumn". Sincerity leads to spirit.”

Although Liu Bei nodded in agreement, he, who was in charge of Xiaopei again, was very busy with the next military training, food raising and other matters, and the requisition of Lantian was gradually forgotten.

197 AD, the second year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was destined to be an extraordinary year.

Because it was not long after the Chinese New Year, Yuan Shu in Huainan defied the public opinion and proclaimed himself emperor.

Chapter 26 Lan Ziyu made another move?

Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family in Runan, the direct son of Sikong Yuanfeng.

Because of his prominent background, he loved flying eagles and lackeys when he was young, showing a full of dandyism.

After becoming an adult, Yuan Shu's shortcomings became more obvious. After the failure of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu's occupation of Nanyang can be seen.

At this time, there were millions of Nanyang households, but he was extravagant and dissipated, and he expropriated the people under his rule, so that people's lives were difficult.

Yuan Shu was greedy for pleasure and short-sighted. After getting Sun Ce's imperial jade seal, he was no longer satisfied with his current fame and status.

The counselor Zhang Jiongneng from Hanoi figured out what he wanted. He had said before that he would surrender Hao Meng to rebel against Lu Bu. After Hao Meng failed in the rebellion and was killed, he actively prepared a talisman to please Yuan Shu.

At the beginning of the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Jiong presented a well-prepared talisman for Shu. Yuan Shu thought that his destiny belonged, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun and called himself "Zhong's family".

In the art, the prefect of Jiujiang was appointed as Yin of Huainan, and a hundred officials were set up. They worshiped the heaven and the earth according to the ritual of the emperor, and ascended the throne of the emperor.

This act of arrogance was opposed by the vassal Sun Ce, and the two broke up after the persuasion failed.

Yuan Shu said that although the lonely and widowed were complacent for a while, the princes of all parties still regarded the emperor of the Han family as the co-lord of the world. In order to seek the approval of the princes, he asked Han Yin to bring gifts to Xiapi again, and asked Lu Bu to fulfill his promise to marry his daughter to Shouchun .

In May, the weather is warm and flowers are blooming. Lu Lingqi has lost her former radiance. She not only rarely goes to the school to practice martial arts, but also rarely talks on weekdays.

Lu Bu was puzzled, and asked Yan Shi: "Lingqi has been silent for half a year, does she have something on her mind?"

Yan shook her head and said, "It's been like this since Hao Meng's rebellion, are you scared?"

"Scared? Lingqi shouldn't..."

"But that's good too. After all, she is quite old. She has been playing with knives and guns all these years, so she should calm down now." Yan sighed.

"Well, you can worry about your daughter's affairs, madam."

At this time, the guard came to report that Chen Gong had something to ask to see Lu Bu.

Lu Bu came to the front hall quickly, and Chen Gong hurried up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Han Yin just came from Shouchun, and he brought a lot of presents, please send the young lady to Shouchun to get married as soon as possible, since the lord has accepted the dowry, you can't." After further delay, the Master said: "People do not have faith, and they don't know what to do..."

Lu Bu nodded his head and thought it was good, "Gongtai's words are reasonable, you go to the post house to settle down with Han Yin, and I will ask Gao Shun to drive."

Gao Shun was stunned after receiving the order. He didn't expect Yuan Shu to come to propose marriage again, and he didn't know what Miss Lu would do this time.

Time was running out, and there was no time to go to Xiaopei to ask advice. Gao Shun used the excuse of asking questions about guards of honor, driving, etc., and went to the mansion to meet Lu Lingqi, who had not been seen for a long time.

Seeing Lu Lingqi admiring the flowers in the back garden expressionlessly, Gao Shun approached and asked, "Miss, do you know that Han Yin is here again?"

"He comes whenever he comes, so there's nothing to make a fuss about." Lu Lingqi plucked off a petal.

"Han Yin is here to ask for marriage. My lord asked me to prepare a ceremonial car to drive you to Shouchun tomorrow morning. Do you want me to send someone to Xiaopei overnight?" Gao Shun asked.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and said, "So what about the trick? Can I marry him?"

"Miss, why did you say that? Did Lan Ziyu say something?" Gao Shun was surprised.
