Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I'm still very pleased with The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I sent people to Xiaopei to look for Mr. Jin's whereabouts. Unfortunately, there was no one with the surname of Jin. Instead, I found that Lan Ziyu lived outside Xiaopei. It’s a pity that Jiazhuang is just a peasant farming..."

"Perhaps because of the wars in Xuzhou these years, the old man Jin died in the war? Did the prime minister invite back that Lan Ziyu?" Liu Bei asked.

Cao Cao was startled when he heard that, could it be that he slaughtered Xuzhou several times alone and killed the author of the novel by mistake?

He continued: "Although I am farming in Xudu, there is no shortage of such a farmer. Why should I invite you? Xuande has traveled all over the world for a long time, and he must know the heroes of the world. Please try to say it."

Only then did Liu Bei feel relieved, "Be sure to recognize a hero with the naked eye?"

"Xuande should be too modest. You neither know his face nor his name." Cao Cao asked.

Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "Yuan Shu in Huainan has enough soldiers and food, can he be a hero?"

"The dry bones in the tomb, I will capture them sooner or later."

"Yuan Shao of Hebei Province, now occupying the land of Jizhou, has a lot of capable subordinates, can he be a hero?"

"Yuan Shao is brave and courageous, he is not a hero, he is not a hero if he does big things and cherishes his life, sees small gains and forgets his life."

Cao Cao didn't care about Liu Bei's mention of the two, so he continued to ask questions and speculate, but unfortunately the other party kept shaking his head.

"Sun Bofu?"

"Liu Jingsheng?"

"Lu Bu?"

Liu Bei guessed one after another, Cao Cao laughed and said nothing. When he heard Lu Bu's name, he laughed and said, "Lü Bu is already a ghost, so how can we talk about today's hero? But I heard something interesting about this man."

"What's the fun?" Liu Bei asked.

"I heard that after Lu Bu read The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he compared himself to Wang Chongyang with supernatural powers. It's really shameless." Cao Cao laughed.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Wang Chongyang did die early..."

"Haha, Xuande's words are quite reasonable. Why don't we follow Lu Bu's example and include the princes of the world as characters in this novel?"

Liu Bei looked confused, thinking how to do this? "The Legend of the Condor Heroes has so many characters, how can the princes of this world compare them all?"

"Then let's compare the positions of the five masters. Since the supernatural powers are occupied by Lu Bu, let's get rid of the east, west, north, and south?" Cao Cao's childlike innocence burst out.

"Then Yuan Shao is in Hebei, and he has a lot of soldiers under his command, can he be a beggar from the north?" Liu Bei tried to ask.

"Xuande's words are justified. The Beggar Clan is a mob. Yuan Benchu ​​is very suitable to be a beggar." Cao Cao laughed.

Liu Beixin made a slip of the tongue, if Yuan Shao listened to this, he might be misunderstood by the other party, so he didn't dare to continue.

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't continue, Cao Cao said with a gloomy expression, "Huang Yaoshi is very attractive to me. I can't compare myself too much to Dongxie, right?"

"Not too much, not too much..." Liu Beixin said that it should be Xidu.

Chapter 43 Is it like a duck to water?

Just after Cao Cao finished speaking, he added: "However, Peach Blossom Island is too out of the ordinary and doesn't fit my personality. On the contrary, the White Camel Villa is quite comfortable. Western Han Sui, Ma Teng, Zhang Lu and others are all mediocre, not enough. With the position of the Five Absolutes, there is still a vacancy left in the south."

"Although Sun Bofu in the south is brave, his status is not enough for the title of Southern Emperor. Liu Jingsheng is a Han family clan named Bajun. Then Yuan Gonggong in Huainan has usurped the title of emperor. I don't know what the prime minister means?" Liu Bei said.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Sun Ce borrowed his father's name, Liu Biao's name is false, and Yuan Shu's tomb is a dead bone. How can they be included in the five wonders?"

"Then, is there a vacancy for this southern skill?" Liu Bei asked.

Cao Cao stood up straight and said, "Heroic husbands have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambitions of the world..."

"Who can do it?"

"The envoy is also the head of the imperial family, and can make up for the unique position of the Southern Emperor."

Seeing Liu Bei's dull expression, Cao Cao pointed at the other party, and then pointed at himself and said, "Actually, we don't talk about the five things, Fang is a hero today, only the king and Cao Er!"

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words, and the spoon and chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground in shock.

At this time, the shower was approaching, and the sky was thundering loudly.

Liu Bei leaned over to pick up the spoon and chopsticks, and between the ups and downs, he adjusted his flustered state of mind, and said with a smile: "The power of the shock is even here."

"A man is also afraid of thunder?" Cao Cao laughed.

"The sage said that the thunder and the wind will change, how about a mortal who is safe and fearless?"

After Cao Cao heard this, he had no doubts, and the two continued to drink in the pavilion, chatting about the characters in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Liu Bei became more and more calm.

When he was young, the clouds and the rain were coming, Cao Cao heard a commotion outside the door, and Xu Chu who was beside him put one hand on the saber at his waist.

I saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushing into the back garden with swords in their hands, and the guards on both sides couldn't resist them. When they approached, they saw Liu Bei and Cao Cao drinking in the pavilion, so they stood aside with their swords.

At this time Xu Chu drew out his saber and placed it in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Cao Cao recognized Guan Zhang, so he stopped Xu Chu and asked, "Why are you two here?"

Guan Yu hurriedly said: "I heard that the prime minister was drinking with my brother, and the two of us came here to dance swords for fun."

Cao Cao laughed out loud after hearing this, and Guan Erye's already ruddy face became even redder.

"Today is not a banquet at the Hongmen, how about using Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo to dance swords?"

At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, easily resolving Guan Yu's embarrassment.

"Get the wine and frighten the two Fan Kuai." Cao Cao ordered.

Seeing this, Guan Zhang thanked Cao Cao, and then stood beside Liu Bei to protect him.

After the incident of cooking wine and discussing heroes, Liu Bei lived more reclusively, lest he be killed by Cao Cao's suspicion.

In the summer of the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao selected [-] elite soldiers and [-] horses to attack Xudu in the south, but he did not leave because of disagreements among his advisors.

After the news reached Xudu, civil servants and military generals were all afraid of Yuan Shao's military strength, but Cao Cao knew that there would be a battle with his old friend, so he began to actively deploy to prepare for the battle.

At the same time, Yuan Shu sent envoys in Huainan to send letters to Yuan Shao, but the letters were intercepted by Cao Jun and sent to Xudu.

Yuan Shu was always extravagant, and he was defeated by Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others in a row, so that the treasury was empty, and there were many famines between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, and he couldn't control himself.

Cao Cao wanted to prepare for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, so he couldn't take care of Yuan Shu who was fleeing.

Liu Bei took the initiative to invite Ying when he saw the right time, so Cao Cao allocated soldiers and horses and sent young general Zhu Ling to accompany him.

At this time, Cao Cao did not listen to the advice of his advisers because he made a hasty decision.

Afterwards, Cao Cao asked about Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others, and everyone said: "Liu Bei will go here, and he will definitely not return it."

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he sent people to chase after him with fast horses, but Liu Bei returned to the sea like a dragon, how could he catch up?

Yuan Shu wanted to cross the border from Xiapi to the north, but because the intelligence route was intercepted, he encountered Liu Bei and Zhu Ling's soldiers, and had to lead the team south to Shouchun, and finally died of vomiting blood in Jiangting.

After Yuan was forced to retreat, Zhu Ling invited Liu Bei to return to Xudu, but Liu Bei excused: "My family is still in Xiaopei, the general can lead the troops back first, and prepare to go to Xiaopei to pick up the family and return to Xudu. "

Zhu Ling knew that Cao Cao treated Liu Bei very well, so he didn't believe Liu Bei's excuse, and led the brigade back to Xudu alone.

When Liu Bei's troops passed through Xiapi, he took the opportunity to trap and kill Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and then left Guan Yu as the prefect of Xiapi. He and Zhang Fei continued to go north to garrison Xiaopei, and Xuzhou once again fell into Liu Bei's control.

Lan Tian waited for a long time at Ganjiazhuang, and finally waited for Liu Bei to return. He and Gan Qian happily went to Xiaopei to see him.

Liu Bei also looks forward to Lan Tian very much, to be precise, to Na Jin Lao, because there are too many doubts in Legend of the Condor Heroes, such as whether Wu Mu's suicide note is true?For example, how to deal with the rations and supplies of Genghis Khan's expedition?

In today's world, it is estimated that only Lan Tian knows the whereabouts of Mr. Jin.

After Liu Bei saw Lan Tian, ​​he remembered Gan Ji's death first.

Gan Qian took the opportunity to say: "Ziyu once promised father that in the future, she will advise her husband and help him to calm down the world."

"Is that so?" Liu Bei said happily.

"Brother-in-law Lao will take care of her in the future." Lan Tian said, clasping his hands.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "I have Ziyu, like a fish in water, Madam is going to ask someone to prepare a banquet, I want to introduce Ziyu to the generals."

"I'll go right away..." Gan Qian was overjoyed.

After Gan Qian left, Liu Bei abandoned the left and right sides, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Liu Bei personally brought a bench for Lantian and said, "Ziyu, please sit down. Dare I ask where Master Jin is?"

Respect the teacher?Gold old?Lan Tian was stunned.

"It's the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Liu Bei reminded.

"You mean that old Jin? He's not my teacher, and he's already passed away..." Lan Tian explained.

"Gone? What a pity..." Liu Bei sighed.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, is there anything else? My adoptive father didn't even live until this summer, alas..."

Liu Bei then said: "Ziyu had many tricks before, how can he teach me now?"

Lantian Zhengse said: "Xuzhou has suffered repeated wars and banditry, and the population loss is serious. It is difficult to recover in a short time. This is not a place to start a business. I advise my brother-in-law to abandon this place and go to Jingzhou."

What Lan Tian said made Liu Bei completely confused. You let me lose the territory I finally won?

"Jingzhou?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

"There will be a war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north, while the remnants of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce in the south are still in the separatist regime. Jingzhou has been governed by Liu Biao for several years and it is still relatively stable. Most of the refugees and scholars from all over the world are attached to it. Brother-in-law, it is better to lead the people to attach to Liu Biao. After recuperating and recuperating Original in the picture?" Lan Tian talked eloquently.

Liu Bei was very disappointed after hearing Lan Tian's words, but he still said without changing his expression: "This matter is quite big, and I have to think about it long-term. Xiaopei is not a place to be defended. Ru will rush to Xiapi with his wife tomorrow, and Yun Chang's first appointment as the prefect will also need it." helper."

Lan Tianxin said, did I say something wrong?Why did the lord send me away just after offering a plan?

What about being like a fish in water?

Since Liu Bei doesn't have many subordinates now, the scale of the reception banquet is not large.

In addition to the subordinate officials who stayed with Guan Yu outside Xiapi, Xiaopei currently has Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Liu Yan in writing, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, Chen Dao, etc. in military affairs.

Apart from Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, Lan Tian was also acquainted with each other for the first time. They treated Liu Bei very politely, but Mi Fang seemed displeased.

Lan Tian didn't enjoy the meal, he could feel that Liu Bei's enthusiasm was perfunctory.

Recalling the conversation just now, Lan Tian felt that he might be too anxious, and Liu Bei didn't dare to take this strong medicine, so he didn't trust him very much.

But Lan Tian also concealed it very well. He pretended to be nonchalant and drank with Zhang Fei, and finally returned to his residence early.

After the banquet was over, everyone staggered and left first, and Liu Bei was still sitting where he was drinking.

Mi Zhu walked halfway, then turned around and sat beside Liu Bei, "I heard that Lan Ziyu is quite talented, why is my lord not in a good mood today?"

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "Although this son has a small talent, he is far from what I expected..."

"Oh? How do you know?" Mi Zhu asked.

"Before the banquet, he offered me advice, saying that I would abandon Xuzhou and go to Jingzhou. Isn't this just a dream? Although Xuzhou is in decline, it is still a state. It is not easy to start a business. How can I abandon it so easily?"

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Zhu said: "Che Zhou is Cao Cao's confidant. If my lord kills him and takes Xuzhou, he will be hated by Cao Cao. Ziyu may be worried that Cao Cao's thief will come back."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Ziyu is a peasant boy after all. He has never experienced swords and blood. Although he has little wisdom, he lacks courage. The so-called seeking wealth and danger. Yuan Benchu ​​has a great momentum in Hebei. Cao Cao may not have the spare power to go east."

Mi Zhu nodded and said: "Although Cao Cao is hindered by Yuan Shao, he has to guard against it. I want to rush to the East China Sea tomorrow to persuade the local tyrants to surrender to the Lord."

"Zizhong worked hard for me, and Bei will never let me down in the future." Liu Bei was moved.

"My lord, I am serious. This Xuzhou is also my hometown. We must work hard to prepare for Cao Cao's return." Mi Zhu reminded again.

Liu Bei affirmed: "I will send Gongyou to Hebei tomorrow, and I will echo Benchu ​​in Xuzhou, so that the Cao bandits can't look after each other."

"It's so good." Mi Zhu said.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei sent Chen Dao to escort Gan Qian, Mi Zhen and other family members to Xiapi.

When the carriage passed Ganjiazhuang, Lan Tian proposed to go home and pack his bags.

Gan Qian asked: "Brother, our family has no money left, some clothes and food, should we give it to the people in the village?"

"I don't do it for food and clothing, but I can't bear to discard the grains cultivated in the past two years. Sister, sit in the car for a while, and I will go back when I go." Lan Tian said.

Gan Qian shook her head when she heard this, and said to herself, aren't you going to help your husband?Why are you still thinking about those things in the mud?

Chen Dao stopped his chariots and horses by the side of the road, and sent several soldiers to go with Lan Tian.

Lan Tian returned home and simply packed some clothes, and wrapped the newly cultivated corn and vegetable seeds. He was going to continue his research after arriving in Xiapi.

The sergeant who was traveling with him felt strange, and thought that Madam, this younger brother is really a weirdo, why did he bring the dirt on the road?

The news that Lan Tian is going to leave Gan's Village has been circulating for a long time. There is no one in the village who does not know his abilities. It is rare for such a person to die in Lin Quan's life.

When I came back today to pack my bags, the farmer Li Yang quietly came to Lantian's house.
