Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Then I'll go and catch him." Zhang Fei interjected.

Guan Yu saw that Lantian was well prepared, and his worries about Liu Bei were all gone, but he immediately thought that things in Jingzhou were still undecided, how to arrange for the candidates to enter Shu?

"Since Ziyu has prepared troops, horses, money and food, everyone should discuss who will go and who will stay." Guan Yu reminded.

Xu Shu looked at the crowd: "My lord, the current situation is very dangerous. If you can go, it's best to go. Kong Ming is known for his prudence. You can stay and guard Jingzhou."

Zhang Fei quickly agreed: "That's really great. Let's each lead an army. The five armies will enter Sichuan at the same time. Let's see if Liu Zhang can stand it."

Chapter 263 Guan Yu Borrows Someone

Xu Shu's suggestion only got Zhang Fei's response, and Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Lan Tian, ​​and even Zhao Yun all showed strange expressions.

After a short silence, Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Actually, my lord has already made arrangements before entering Sichuan..."

"What arrangement? Why doesn't my old Zhang know?" Zhang Fei was full of question marks.

Zhuge Liang then expressed his opinion, "My lord, let Yunchang be the governor of Jingzhou and Ziyu the deputy governor, just to let them stay in Jingzhou. Besides, Ziyu has to restrain Jiaozhou. How can he follow into Sichuan?"

"Military division, and I..." Zhao Yun reminded.

Zhuge Liang explained knowingly: "Zilong is now the Sima staying in the camp, and he still needs to stay to take care of Mrs. Sun, so he can't lead troops into Sichuan..."

Zhang Fei was a little disappointed, "The military adviser has been talking for a long time, but Yuan Zhi and I are the only ones left?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I will also go to Sichuan with the army. There are not many generals available in Jingzhou. When the time comes, I will bring Young Master Feng and other young generals with me."

Because Lantian is not very close to the gentry, the family members of the gentry in Jingzhou are all settled in Jiangling, such as the Pang family, Huang family, Ma family, Xi family, etc. who support them. Apart from Zhuge Liang who represents the Huang family, the only one present is Guan Yu who has a high enough prestige. Can hold back.

Both Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu can guard Jingzhou, but Xu Shu and Zhao Yun are not suitable because of their lack of foundation. Lantian can only have a better space to display it in a place where there are few gentry in Jingnan.

Guan Yu and the others were quite affirmative after hearing the suggestion, but Lan Tian sat where he was and hadn't spoken yet. Zhuge Liang noticed him and immediately asked, "Ziyu still has a different opinion?"

Lan Tian nodded: "Yuan Zhi has both civil and military skills. I'd better stay in Jingzhou to help General Guan. The three major military divisions can't all be gone. Zilong can enter Sichuan with you."

Xu Shu looked at Lantian and was moved. After Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong joined Liu Bei, he never led an army to fight again. He gave up the name of this military adviser. He really wanted to stay in Jingzhou to accompany his mother, but he felt that he had failed Liu Bei. Well, that's why I acted so positively.

"It's best to keep Yuanzhi, but Zilong stays with Sima in the camp..." Zhuge Liang became timid when it came to Liu Bei's family affairs.

"Mrs. Sun has become a mother, and her temperament has changed a lot. Isn't Zilong?" Lan Tian asked.

Zhao Yun nodded affirmatively and said: "In the past two years, we have indeed restrained ourselves, and the followers of the other courts can also abide by the law. Now we have almost no contact with Jiangdong..."

"If you are worried, you can send Mrs. Sun to Quanling. I will let my wife take care of her daily. I can't let Zilong waste his time." Lan Tian added.

"Mr. Ziyu..." Zhao Yun was so excited that he couldn't speak. How could he not envy him as a general when he saw everyone doing meritorious service?

At this moment, Guan Yu waved his hand, "Don't bother Ziyu with his sister-in-law's affairs. Zilong will go to Sichuan with his military advisor and third younger brother at ease. I will discuss with Yuan Zhi if I have anything to do."

"That's great." Lan Tian nodded.

After everyone reached an agreement, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun actively prepared to enter Sichuan, and Xu Shu and Guan Yu will take over the work of the three of them.

When Guan Yu and Lan Tian parted ways at the pier, Guan Yu said to Lan Tian: "The military commander stayed in Jiangling to ensure the stability here. Now that he wants to lead troops into western Sichuan, Guan has to move back to Jiangling from Jiangxia. No one in Jiangxia is suitable to go. Aiding Lu Zijing..."

"Military division and the others will take away some sailors when they enter Sichuan, and General Guan is still going to support Jiangdong?" Lan Tian asked suspiciously.

Guan Yu nodded, "People cannot stand without faith. I have already promised Lu Zijing, how can I break my promise? It's just that Shiren, Ping'er and others are not commanders of the navy..."

Fu Shiren don't talk about commanding troops to fight, thank God if he doesn't cheat you, although he knows that this guy is not a good bird, but Lan Tian can't tell people behind his back, this will make Liu Bei have a strange opinion, and this person is still Liu Bei's early confidant, the degree of trust Maybe ahead of Zhao Yun.

Lan Tian immediately recommended to Guan Yu, saying: "Su Fei, the prefect of Yiling, was originally Huang Zu's Jiangxia governor. Why doesn't General Guan use him?"

"Almost forgot about this person. Later, I transferred Su Fei to the police to be in charge of patrolling the Yangtze River in Jingzhou. I just went east to support Sun Quan's lack of generals. Now I want to borrow someone from you." Guan Yu frowned.

"Who does General Guan want to borrow? Could it be Gan Xingba?" Lan Tian asked tentatively.

Guan Yu nodded, "What you said is not bad. I know a thing or two about Ziyu's plan for Jiaozhou. Gan Xingba is the water warrior you rely on. Let him temporarily lead the Jiangxia navy, and he shouldn't suffer a loss."

"General Guan is the governor of Jingzhou. How can we talk about it? It's just that Gan Xingba once shot and killed Ling Cao. He fought with his son Ling Tong outside Yiling. The other party had a deep hatred for Xingba. Would it be okay to let him go to Jiangdong?" Will it be wrong?" Lan Tian was a little worried.

"This is all personal grievances. Sun Zhongmou and Lu Zijing have a clear distinction. If Su Fei is allowed to lead the army, it will not work. He and Sun Zhongmou have a family feud..." Guan Yu analyzed.

In the past, Sun Quan attacked Jiang Xia and prefabricated two boxes, which were used to hold the heads of Huang Zu and Su Fei respectively. One can imagine how much Sun Quan hated Su Fei, and Guan Yu didn't dare to let Su Fei take risks.

Lan Tian also wanted to say that Gan Ning's Baiqi robbed Sun Quan, and at that time he slapped Sun Quan in the face. I don't know if the other party still remembered, but considering Guan Yu's difficulty, he nodded and agreed.

Guan Yu and Lan Tian traveled along the Yangtze River, and parted ways when the boat arrived at Dongting Lake.

Lantian's boat entered the Xiangshui River, and encountered a fleet of fleets in the Linxiang waters. After approaching, it was discovered that it was a transport ship from Quanling. After the two ships met, the transport ships all stopped in the river and gave way. The boatmen all nodded to Lan Tian in salute.

Quanling's transportation crews were basically from Jiaozhou, and were too weak to be recruited by Gan Ning, so they reorganized the transportation team at Lantian's suggestion.

After they came to Quanling, they lived a prosperous life and didn't have to worry about dying in the war, so they cherished this transportation job very much.

The boatmen knew that the good days were due to Lantian, and some people hung the portrait of Lantian on the boat one after another. Later, it almost became the tradition of the transportation team. This is an act of collective worship.

Lan Tian couldn't laugh or cry when he found out, he wanted Gan Ning to stop this kind of behavior, but the boatmen didn't break the rules, instead they were more active in their work, so they let it go.

After returning to Quanling, Lantian summoned Gan Ning and told him: "Next year, the army divisions will enter Sichuan, and General Guan has no time to help Jiangdong right now. Put what you have in hand and go to Jiangxia to help."

"Does Jiangxia have no generals?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously.

"Jingzhou has been resting and recuperating for the past few years. The navy has not expanded aggressively. Now there are so few soldiers and ships left. General Guan is worried about handing over to Yong. Xingba can help take the area. Bring out the ships and people. Bringing Jiangxia back is a great achievement, we can help Sun Quan to cheer on the field, but remember not to enter the field lightly to participate in the battle." Lan Tian continued to warn.

"Wei." Gan Ning smiled knowingly, he made Lan Tian's little thoughts clear, he could do anything but not suffer.

Chapter 264 Lu Zijing What Do You Mean?

"Is your body okay?" Lan Tian asked with concern.

Gan Ning had many illnesses in history, most of which were caused by epidemics, and finally died of illness. According to later medical theories, Gan Ning's condition was that his resistance was weak and he could not adapt to more extreme environments.

Now working under Lantian's command, Gan Ning also fell ill twice in Jiaozhou, so Lantian was particularly worried about Gan Ning's health, after all it was hard to find a strong general who was good at both water and land warfare.

Gan Ning patted his chest and said: "Since I learned Wuqinxi from Mr. Hua, I have eaten well during the day and slept soundly at night. I have almost no major or minor illnesses. My physical condition is much better than before. You don't have to worry about me, sir."

"We still need to pay attention to it. The sea cucumbers and other things that Ustin sent from Jiaozhou should be supplemented frequently." Lan Tian reminded.

Gan Ning scratched his head and said with a smile: "I insist on practicing Wu Qin Xi, as long as I don't die on the battlefield, I can live to seventy or eighty without any problem..."

"Mr. Yuanhua told you?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Gan Ning nodded.

Lan Tianxin said that if it was a peaceful age, Hua Tuo would probably be able to establish a sect, and he would practice with his family.

Gan Ning got orders from Lantian and rushed to Jiangxia with a dozen or so personal entourages.

Guan Yu ordered Gan Ning to be the commander-in-chief, Fu Shiren and Guan Ping to be the deputy generals, and led [-] elite sailors and [-] warships out of Jiangxia to Ruxukou to rescue Sun Quan.

Ruxu water comes out of Chaohu Lake and flows eastward between Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain. For danger.

The water flowing from Ruxukou into the Yangtze River is stable. After occupying Ruxukou, Cao Jun relied on many islands along the river, launched a battle across the river in a hierarchical manner, and finally approached Niuzhu (Caishiji) by land, and Niuzhu was very close to Jianye. , can threaten the government of Jiangdong.

Under Lu Meng's suggestion, Sun Quan built a city and set up a pass on Ruxu Mountain, and guarded at Shuikou to build Ruxuwu shaped like a crescent moon.

In December of the 17th year of Jian'an, the warships supported by Gan Ning entered Ruxushui from the Yangtze River. When they traveled ten miles away from Ruxuwu, they saw Jiangdong warships docked neatly beside the waterway.

The patrol boat in charge of security asked Gan Ning's fleet to stop by the river to wait. After a while, Lu Su came to meet him in a fast boat.

When the two boats crossed, Gan Ning and others stood at the bow of the boat to greet them. Lu Su was disappointed that he did not see Guan Yu. He cupped his hands and asked, "Where is General Guan?"

Guan Ping clasped his fists and replied: "My father can't get away because of important matters. This is General Gan, the general of Wu Lie Zhonglang, and General Fu, the general of Yiyong Zhonglang."

Lu Su nodded. He observed Gan Ning carefully, and asked suspiciously, "General Fu has met me many times. General Gan is..."

With a calm expression, Gan Ning cupped his fists and introduced himself: "Gan Ning, the name is Xingba."

"Jin Fan...you are now..." Lu Su almost blurted out Jin Fan Bandit. He often accompanied Sun Quan to stay in the army, but he had never seen Gan Ning, the legendary titan. Why did Guan Yu send him to add trouble?Not only did Ling Gongji kill his father and enemy, he also robbed his own camp with a hundred riders, I don't know what the lord thinks.

"Following the order of General Guan, we will rush to help you." Gan Ning replied flatly.

Guan Ping hastily added: "For this trip, General Gan will be the chief general, and General Fu will be the deputy general..."

Lu Su nodded in response, looking at Jiang Xia's warships, he couldn't help frowning, "Isn't Jiang Xia's navy numbering ten thousand? These warships don't seem to be that many?"

Gan Ning explained: "Liu Zhang in Yizhou has malicious intentions. General Guan wants to send troops to rescue the lord. All four thousand sailors that Jingzhou can spare have come."

Lu Su suddenly realized, and finally understood the important thing Guan Ping said, but at least he was helping the army along the way, and now he can find Sun Quan on business.

Lu Su cupped his hands and said to the crowd: "Cao Cao is slowly advancing southward. The two sides have not yet fought. You should stop the boat and rest under Qibao Mountain. I will go back to the camp and report to the lord first, and then arrange the attack."

Gan Ning said seriously, "I heard that Ruxukou is extremely dangerous, and a million soldiers guarding here may not be able to break through, but my thousands of Jiangxia water troops are not good at guarding the pass. I will make up for it after the decisive battle on the Yangtze River. Now I will give you strength. Courage..."

Lu Su looked embarrassed: "Uh...then I'll take the first step, forgive me for my negligence."

"Governor, go slowly." Gan Ning and others greeted each other with clasped fists.

Seeing Lu Su's fast boat go away, Fu Shiren spit into the river, and said to himself: "There is no water and wine, what is the way of hospitality in Jiangdong? How did I entertain guests in Jiangxia back then? "

"General Gan, shall we stop here?" Guan Ping asked.

Gan Ning looked at the surroundings, and said cautiously: "Let our fleet retreat two miles to dock, and let the passage for transporting food and troops in the east of the river out, and send patrol boats to check the surrounding terrain."

"Wei." Guan Ping responded with cupped fists.

Lu Su's ship passed through his defense area and docked at the wharf behind Ruxuwu. Sun Quan had already arrived with an army of [-], and Jiangdong warships were neatly displayed under Dongguan.

Lu Su left the boat and entered Ruxuwu to meet Sun Quan, saying that Guan Yu's reinforcements had arrived ten li behind.

Sun Quan heard that there were only four thousand people here, and immediately showed displeasure. Why are Liu Bei's people so petty?Considering the alliance between the two countries, this feast of cleansing the dust is indispensable, but Lu Su did not bring Guan Yu to Wuzhong.

"Where is General Guan? Why didn't Zijing invite him to come to the dock? Cheng Gong said that this person is arrogant, and we should do our best as landlords, and it is better not to offend him." Sun Quan asked suspiciously.

Cheng Pu immediately added: "My lord's words are very true. Guan Yunchang is a great general in the world. Even Cao Cao respects him three points. It is not rude to come to help now."

Lu Su wryly smiled and said: "Mr. Xuande is in danger by Liu Zhang's plan. General Guan wants to send soldiers from Jingzhou to Yizhou for rescue. Now let his son Guan Ping lead [-] elite soldiers..."

"Guan Ping's Huangkou child, how can he lead the Jiangxia navy? Could it be that there is really no one in Jingzhou?" Cheng Puxin said that the big man with the sword is also stronger than Guan Ping. What is Guan Yu thinking?

Sun Quan was always suspicious. After listening to Cheng Pu's words, he stroked his purple beard and said coldly, "How can Guan Yunchang be so perfunctory? Could it be that Liu Xuande has already arrived?"

Zhang Zhao then analyzed: "Yizhou Liu Zhang and his son have been in business for [-] years, so Liu Xuande's heart is not enough to swallow a snake. It is only natural that he is in a dangerous situation now, but it has greatly affected the Sun Liu alliance. If the soldiers who entered Sichuan cannot be returned, Guan Yunchang can still Can you hold Jingzhou?"

Lu Su saw that everyone's words were getting more and more outrageous, so he had to answer honestly: "The leader of this trip is Gan Ning, and the deputy is Fu Shiren. They are all brave people. My lord should understand."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone looked at Sun Quan, and saw that his face suddenly turned pale. At this moment, Ling Tong asked sharply, "What are you talking about, Commander-in-Chief? Is that bastard Gan Ning here? And that bastard Fu Shiren?"

Gan Ning used to help Huang Zu resist Jiangdong's attack. Lu Su thought that he had some reputation among these people, but he didn't make it too clear, so that Sun Quan didn't believe his ears.

Sun Quan: Lu Zijing, what do you mean?Didn’t you say what happened back then and pretend it didn’t happen, but now you are bringing up the old things here again. Not only do you praise Gan Ning for being brave, but you also ask me that I should understand?

Chapter 265 The Death of Xun Yu

Lu Su didn't notice Sun Quan's expression, but was attracted by Ling Tong's excited scolding.

At this time Cheng Pu yelled sharply: "Gongji, don't be rude in front of the lord."

Cheng Pu is the deputy governor of Jiangdong, and the oldest general in Ruxuwu. Although Ling Tong fought bravely, he must abide by etiquette.

Sun Quan immediately warned coldly: "Gongji..."

Ling Tong was in high spirits and didn't notice Sun Quan's black face at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about Gan Ning's personal enmity with me, but that Fu Shiren was the one who poisoned the governor. Guan Yu sent this person to help the other Heart to death."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard that Fu Shiren was serving the army in Jiangxia, and Zhou Yu passed away before he reached Chaisang. The guard Zhou Shan first suspected that Fu Shiren had poisoned in wine, and then spread to the army accompanying Ling Tong, which caused a stir at the time No small commotion.

For the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance, Lu Su tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to suppress the matter, and strictly ordered Ling Tong to keep his mouth shut, so this matter has never been spread.

"Bastard." Sun Quan slapped the case violently.

At this time, Ling Tong found that the boss's face was turning green, and he immediately retreated to his position like a quail, but everyone present, especially Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and other generals, looked at him strangely.

"Gongji, you'd better make it clear to everyone that Gongjin was poisoned by someone?" Cheng Pu's voice was deafening.

At this moment, Ling Tong was like a primary school student who made a mistake. He lowered his head and dared not say a word at all.

Sun Quan didn't want to mention Zhou Yu's matter, so he told Lu Su with a humble eye, "Governor, tell Cheng Gong and the generals a brief statement, and you are not allowed to make unfounded guesses in the future. Now that the enemy is at hand, you should focus on Cao Cao. "

"Wei." Lu Su bowed, looked around the crowd and explained, "Gongjin went to Jiangling to seek medicine for an arrow injury. Unfortunately, the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing was not at home. We had to return to Chai Sang to seek medical treatment for Gongjin. When passing by Jiangxia, General Fu brought wine and meat to the army. Unfortunately, shortly after leaving Jiangxia, Gong Jin suffered a recurrence of an arrow injury and died on the way. At that time, some people speculated that the wine was poisonous, but hundreds of people in the party were fine after eating wine and meat. This is just a far-fetched guess. I was so excited just now..."

Ling Tong hurriedly got off the donkey. He explained embarrassingly, "I was the one who spoke out, please forgive me, my lord..."

Sun Quan's blue eyes opened slightly, and he said slowly: "The news came from the scouts ahead, Cao Mengde's so-called 40 army is actually only more than [-]. We may not be unable to win because we are sitting on the edge of the sky. Get stuck with other things."

"Wei." All the generals answered in unison.

Sun Quan: "As for taking the wind and washing away the dust, let's forget it for the time being. After defeating Cao Cao, we will hold a celebration banquet together. Zijing will go and tell the allied forces to station in the river first, and arrange for them when there are combat missions."

"Wei." Lu Su cupped his hands in response.

Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to normal, Sun Quan ordered Cheng Pu: "Cao Jun set out from Shouchun and marched for hundreds of miles. It is difficult to complete the assembly in a short time. We can take advantage of the fact that his foothold is not stable to dampen his spirit. The law of war says 'one vigorous effort and then decline three times. And Jie', if we can get rid of Cao Cao's arrogance, and use Ruxuwu's defense to consume patience, the other side will retreat after running out of food in a few months, and we can even take advantage of the situation to pursue."
