Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Then let's take a look?" Lan Tian asked.

Guan Yu smiled and stood up, "Then let's go, Ji'er has a lively personality and is not much different from Anguo in age, so he should have played well."

Lan Tian, ​​Xu Shu, and Gao Shun followed Guan Yu into the back house, and when they walked outside the door, they heard the applause from inside.

Everyone came in and saw that Lan Ji was showing off his stick skills, Guan Xing, who was four years older than him, had his hair tied up, and Guan Yinping, an eight-year-old little girl, kept clapping.

Both Lan Ji and Guan Yinping wore two horn hair knots, Guan Yinping looked cute and cute, and Lan Ji looked a little funny.

"An Guo, Yin Ping, come and call someone." Just as Guan Yu entered the courtyard, a dark cloud seemed to appear over the children's heads.

"Uncle, Mr. Xu..." Guan Xing and Guan Yinping saluted in unison.

"Father, Uncle, Mr. Xu..." Lan Ji saluted.

Guan Yu pointed at Gao Shun and said, "This is General Gao, please call him Uncle Gao."

"Uncle, my name is Uncle Gao..." Lan Ji reminded.

Guan Yu was startled and said, why is his seniority so high?Lan Tian seemed helpless because he was Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Gao Shun's seniority was really embarrassing.

"Uh...then you call after Ji'er." Guan Yu shook his head.

"Uncle Gao..." Guan Xing and Guan Yinping greeted each other with cupped hands.

Gao Shun could only nod his head in embarrassment, Lan Tian changed the topic and asked, "I remember that the second son is only 13 years old, why has he started to tie his hair?"

"An Guo's head grows very fast, and combing a child's hair in a bun is not elegant, so I not only tied his hair in advance, but also gave him a letter in advance, but Guan saw that Ji'er grew faster, and Ziyu also helped him earlier. Tie your hair up." Guan Yu explained. (Note: In ancient times, 15-year-old hair was tied, and 20-year-old had a weak crown)

Lan Tian nodded, "Then I'll tie Yuan'er's hair when I go back, he's about the same size as Anguo (Guan Xing)..."

Chapter 441 Blood Suppression

Guan Yu was really a good guy when he heard it, but Lan Yuan was only two years older than Lan Ji, yet he already had the height of Guan Xing, how could he be able to grow in this size in the future?

"Extraordinary people should use extraordinary methods. Since Ziyu's two sons are so outstanding, why should they stick to the weak crown to express their words? I think it can be a little earlier." Guan Yu suggested.

Lan Tian nodded: "I have already prepared the names of the two. Yuan'er's name is Boyang, and Ji'er's name is Zhongling."

"Zhongling? From now on, you will all call Ji'er like that. Just now, his skill with sticks is already comparable to some soldiers. How can we treat him as a child again?" Guan Yu looked at Guan Ping, Guan Xing ordered.

"Understood, father." Guan Ping took the lead and said.

"Can't I be called Brother Ji?" Guan Yinping asked shaking his head.

Guan Yu stroked her forehead with one hand, "You are still young, Yinping, so you can call her whatever you used to call her."

"Wow, that's great." Guan Yinping clapped his hands happily.

Guan Yu turned to Lan Tian and asked, "Zhongling's sticks are pretty good. It can be seen that the foundation is very good. Anguo didn't learn weapons so early. Did General Gao teach them?"

Gao Shun clasped his fists and shook his head: "Master's martial arts are all taught by Miss."

Guan Yu said thoughtfully: "It turns out that it is Marquis Wen's family's martial art. Zhongling, you should learn from me carefully in the future."

"I can save it." Lan Ji replied with a nod.

Guan Yu pointed to Lan Ji and asked again: "Has Zhongling learned how to ride a horse?"

Gao Shun: "I taught them a few times last year, and the two brothers learned it quickly. Now they should be able to ride ordinary war horses."

It is not difficult for beginners to learn horseback riding in ancient times, as long as they learn to control the direction and stop, but riding is a great science. Because there are many emergencies on the battlefield, the horse will throw the person on its back because of fright. There are too many deaths in wars due to falling from horses.

Guan Yu was surprised to hear that Lan Ji could ride a war horse, and he might want to try the kid's riding skills, so he said to Zhou Cang: "Now go and prepare some horses, let's run around the back street twice, just to see Zhongling of riding."

"Wei." Zhou Cang nodded and turned to leave.

Lan Tian didn't know that the two brothers had already learned how to ride a horse. He learned how to ride a horse by himself, which was much better than Lan Ji, and he had to practice for several months before he could barely master it. How could the two children have learned how to ride a few times?So he leaned into Gao Shun's ear and asked in a low voice, "Ji'er really knows how to ride a horse? How are their brothers riding?"

"It's still possible, you'll know in a while." Gao Shun replied.

Then the group came to the back street of Zhou Mu Mansion, where Zhou Cang was already waiting by the side of the street with several horses, including Guan Yu's red rabbit horse. (formerly known as Chitu, which means red tiger)

"Uncle, can I ride this horse to race with you?"

When distributing the horses, Lan Ji pointed to the red rabbit horse and was very excited.

Guan Yu shook his head slightly: "Zhongling is very knowledgeable, but Chitu is so tall, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it if you don't go up."

"Father also has a tall horse, which is very beautiful in white, but it's a pity that he usually doesn't ride it himself, nor let others ride it." Lan Ji said disappointedly.

"Could it be Big Brother's Lu?" Guan Yu asked curiously.

Lan Tian nodded, "Yuan Zhi knew about Lu. Although the horse was extremely handsome, it was very man-handling. I was not at ease when my brother-in-law entered Sichuan, so Lu Ma was going to leave. Now he stays in Jiaozhou Pang Lingming's cultivation can be regarded as making the best use of his talents..."

Xu Shu echoed: "The ancient Bole once said, 'Lu, the slave passenger dies, the master and the passenger abandon the market, and the horse is also fierce.' Ziyu's prudence is only comparable to that of Kong Ming."

Lan Ji still stared at Chitu, Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Chitu has a weird temper, and ordinary people can't control it. If Zhongling can successfully sit on the horseback, how about letting you ride it for today's horse race?"

"Really?" Lan Ji was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, am I joking? Zhou Cang, let Zhongling try." Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed.

The Chitu was eight feet high from hoof to neck, and Lan Tian looked at Gao Shun incredulously, as if asking if this kid could do it?

Gao Shun spread his hands to express that he didn't know, he could only concentrate on staring at Lan Ji, if he encountered any danger when he got on the horse, he would go to rescue him as soon as possible.

Lan Ji walked up to the Chitu horse, first he stretched out his hand to caress the tense muscles of the horse, he didn't seem to feel any resistance from the other side, then grabbed the rein with one hand, supported the saddle with the other, jumped up, and sat firmly on the horse's back above.

The red rabbit horse shook its neck, and its tail swept left and right naturally.

"Drive." Lan Ji held the reins and turned, and the red rabbit horse ran straight to the street like a rocket off the string.

Lan Tian was shocked, and the others did not expect this situation. Guan Yu and Gao Shun reacted the fastest. They each found a horse, and then frantically slapped the horse's buttocks in pursuit. Lan Tian, ​​Xu Shu, and Guan Ping followed closely behind.

Lan Ji manipulated the red rabbit to run several tens of feet, then reined in the rein and stopped at the spot to wait. His young heart couldn't help admiring that this tall horse was so fast when it ran.

Afterwards, several adults galloped over on horseback. When Gao Shun's heart sank when he saw Lan Ji's relaxed expression, Guan Yu couldn't help but let out a strange sigh.

When Lu Bu died in Baimenlou, the Chituma was immediately captured by Cao Cao, but none of the generals in the Cao camp could control it. In the end, Cao Cao presented it to Guan Yu in order to win over, and the Chituma was tamed by Guan Yu.

Seeing the young figure of Chitu immediately, Guan Yu couldn't help asking his soul: Is this child suppressed by blood?

"I seem to be able to ride this red rabbit horse, so when will the horse racing start?" Lan Ji asked the crowd after seeing everyone had arrived.

Guan Yu laughed and said: "There is no need to compete today, Zhong Ling has already surpassed all the others."

Lan Ji scratched his head in confusion: "Is it so easy?"

Gao Shun was also exchanging eyes with Lan Tian at this time, thinking that nothing happened to Lan Ji at last, otherwise he would not be able to treat the master when he returned to Jiaozhou.

Guan Yu suddenly said solemnly to Lan Tian: "Ziyu, you can leave tomorrow without worry. I will treat Zhongling here like a parent and child, and Guan will definitely teach me everything."

"I don't care about Yunchang, Zhongling is more stubborn at home, Yunchang can beat or scold me, don't worry about my feelings." Lan Tian instructed.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I will take care of such a good seedling, but you can relax."

After the episode of the horse race, Guan Yu and everyone returned to Zhoumu Mansion. He hosted a banquet for Lan Tian, ​​Gao Shun and Jiang Wan. In addition to calling Xu Shu and Ma Liang to accompany him, he also invited Guan Ping, Guan Xing and Lan Ji to attend.

When Lan Tian was puzzled, Guan Yu explained that since he was Lan Ji's teacher, Lan Ji would follow him like Guan Ping whether it was patrolling the camp, running the army, or handling government affairs.

Lan Tian could see that Guan Yu really liked Lan Ji, so he left Gao Shun with peace of mind the next morning.

Zhang Ji's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" has been transcribed. Xu Shu entrusted Xu Shu to return the original manuscript to Zhang's family, and said that after the paper version of medical techniques is printed, a hundred copies will be sent to Jiangling Medical School for Zhang Ji's disciples to study in detail. .

Chapter 442 Be sure to let me go

During Lantian's return to Jiaozhou, Guan Yu also sent envoys to Jiangxia to see Lu Su, expressing that he would gradually resume private trade, but asked Jiangdong to express his position in the Yangtze River News, and together with Liu Bei's group condemned Cao Cao's arrogance as king.

In late June, as soon as Lantian returned to Guangzhou City, Gao Shun asked Hu Ke and Song Chen to make some fuss about Cao Cao becoming king.

The doors and windows in the apse of the State Shepherd's Mansion were closed, leaving only Lan Tian, ​​Gao Shun, Hu Ke, and Song Chen, Lan Tian didn't want the plan to leak out.

Lan Tian first arranged for Song Chen and told him to go to Weidi in disguise to do business. In addition to carrying the Yangtze River News and the propaganda poster "Guangzhou Impression", he also secretly recruited the talents needed by Guangzhou Academy, grasped their information, and tried to get back to Guangzhou City.

After Song Chen received the task, he felt a little embarrassed, "Although these celebrities are talented, most of them are timid and afraid of fighting. I'm afraid it will be difficult to invite them out of their comfort zone. After all, Jiaozhou is too remote for the Central Plains, and there are many false ideas. Rumors, when it comes to Lingnan, it is easy to die due to disobedience, and the population checks on the border are extremely strict. It is easy to send out newspapers and "Guangzhou Impressions", but it is difficult to bring people back..."

Lan Tian's tone was gentle: "You can use newspapers and posters first to change the inherent impression of the Central Plains people. There is no need to rush for success. The so-called dripping stone wears away, as long as you persevere, you can bring it back in ten or eight years."

"I can save it, what else do you want to explain?" Song Chen asked again.

Lan Tian frowned and thought for a while: "Song Jiang's code name can no longer be used. Zhang Lu was treated like a guest by Cao Cao. Except for Cao Cao, he is the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the whole of Wei. He was hated by Zhang Lu when he rescued Pang De in Hanzhong. For safety, you have to Rename it."

"Please give me your name, sir." Song Chen asked with cupped fists.

"Then call it Wu Yong, a pedant." Lan Tian said casually.

"Wei." Song Chen wrote down the name.

Song Chen was about to leave when Lan Tian suddenly stopped him and added: "Emperor Gao once said, 'It's not the Liu family, but the kings will fight together'. When you go to Wei, you spread rumors everywhere, saying that the emperor complained that Cao Cao can be king , Liu's descendants who are capable can all be kings..."

"Sir, are you framing the emperor? Will Cao Cao kill the emperor when he hears this?" Without waiting for Song Chen to ask, Gao Shun was puzzled and rushed to speak.

Lan Tian shook his head and sneered: "Thieves Cao boasted that he was a Han minister. Even if he was so angry, he would not kill the king because of his reputation."

"But he can rely on other people's hands?" Gao Shun asked again.

"It's justified for the Cao thief to become the king and become the king. If he killed the emperor because of his anger, he would have to support the Liu family's descendants as the king. I don't think he will give up using the puppet he has." Lan Tian analyzed.

Gao Shun's forehead wrinkled into Sichuan characters: "Then what exactly does the gentleman mean? Isn't it fun just to find the emperor?"

Lan Tian shook his head and sighed: "Now that the Han Dynasty has fallen and the emperor has lost power, and my brother-in-law wants to enter the Central Plains and help the Han Dynasty, a single left general is not enough, but Pang Lingming was named a loyal and brave general. If there is nothing in the pot, there is no way to scoop it into the bowl..."

"Sir, do you want Xuande to become king?" Gao Shun opened his eyes wide.

"Why do you go through life and death? It's nothing more than ennobling your wives and sons, using power and titles to motivate everyone. It's a coup at any time. Emperor Gao was like this when Chu and Han were fighting..." Lan Tian smiled wryly.

"Since the purpose is to make Xuande king, why spread rumors?" Gao Shun continued to ask.

Lan Tian explained: "Cao Cao obeyed the emperor's order to not be a minister. Although he is now usurping the Han and becoming king, he has laws to follow. Let's build momentum for brother-in-law in advance to build the foundation of public opinion for future kingship. It is better than being self-reliant and being criticized by others. ?”

Gao Shun was startled after hearing this, Lantian's layout was ahead of his time, and he had thought of all aspects, so he sighed: "If Xuande can win the world in the future, Mr. will take the lead..."

Lan Tian smiled slightly, and then said to Song Chen, "Hurry up and get ready, bring more 'Impressions of Guangzhou' on the road."

"Wei." Song Chen clasped his fists to salute the crowd, then closed the palace door and walked out alone.

"Sir, what is my mission?" Hu Ke asked curiously, he instinctively had a premonition that his mission was very difficult.

Lan Tian adjusted his sitting posture, looked at Hu Ke and pondered for a moment before asking, "I remember you were born in the third year of Dongping, so this year should be your [-]th year?"

Hu Ke nodded, "Sir, I actually remember my age. The general is only six years younger than you. He turned [-] last month. He joined the army when he was in Xinye..."

"Why don't you marry a wife?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"I finally joined the Suppressing Army. Later, I was selected into the reconnaissance camp to earn money in Jiangling. After pacifying Jingzhou, I went to various places as merchants and ships. In the end, I went to Cochin as a spy. I forgot because I was running around..." Hu Ke bowed his head in disbelief. Answer with a good intention.

Lan Tian frowned and complained to Gao Shun: "Bo Ping is also responsible for this matter. Brothers in the army basically marry wives and have children. Why did Captain Hu just be left out in the cold?"

"Sir, I really can't blame me for this. I, Lao Xu, and Lao Lu have asked him many times, but this guy has a reason to refuse every time..." Gao Shun shook his head quickly.

Lan Tian stared at Hu Ke curiously, thinking that this guy doesn't have any special hobbies, right?The ancients were very open in this respect.

Hu Ke was so stared at, he quickly explained: "It is not too late for Mr. Zhongjing to marry a wife at fifty, and the last general is only in his thirties now. Besides, he is working carefully outside all the year round. If he is concerned, accidents will easily happen, so there is no It's too late...but there are quite a few women acting on occasion..."

Hu Ke's last words seemed to be expressing something deliberately, and Lan Tian had to admire that this kid was really smart, and he had already guessed what he was thinking.

"It's only thirty? Mr. Zhong Jing is the sequel, can this be confused?" Lan Tian turned around with a wry smile and asked Gao Shun: "Is there anyone in the army as smart as Hu Ke? I want to find someone else to carry out this mission." , I have to hurry up and arrange for him to marry a wife and have children..."

After hearing this, Hu Ke said excitedly: "Farewell, sir. I was alone in a humble job. I fled because of the war in the north and almost died of starvation in Xinye. If you hadn't collected the refugees in the fields, how would I have a chance to have enough food? It is even more impossible." I joined the Fallen Army, so I will use my whole life to repay my husband."

Lan Tian shook his head, "How can you repay your life? You have done a lot for me, and you should also think about yourself..."

"I like adventure, and I am willing to do things for my husband. I felt great achievements and joy during the cochin work before. Please let me carry out the mission. This mission should be very exciting, right?" Hu Ke was still excited .

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other speechlessly, then nodded lightly: "This time I asked Song Chen to go to Weidi, but I also need to go to Jiangdong alone, and the purpose is completely different. I want you to deliberately expose the identity of Xizuo..."

Gao Shun was very surprised after hearing this, while Hu Ke's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Please let me go."

Chapter 443 I Don't Know Materia Medica

Lan Tian saw that Hu Ke agreed without hesitation, and then explained with a serious face: "This time going to Jiangdong and Africa is better than going to Jiaozhi. Although Sun Quan is not flattering in commanding the army, he is much more clever than Shi Xie, and this person is cunning and suspicious. It’s really hard to believe that there are some flaws.”

"Sir, you can rest assured and leave it to me. You just need to tell me what the task is. I will adapt to the situation when I arrive in Jiangdong." Hu Ke replied seriously.

"I've been staying in Jiangdong for a long time this time. If it doesn't work, I'd better marry a wife and leave an heir before setting off, otherwise I'll never feel at ease..." Lan Tian's expression was still serious.

Hu Ke said with a smile: "Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? It's not too late to remarry if you become famous."

"Sir, Hu Ke is very stubborn, why not let him go..." Gao Shun sighed.

Lan Tian nodded helplessly, and then explained the overall plan in detail. Gao Shun next to him frowned, but Hu Ke was very excited.
