Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 489 First Trial of the Halberd Qinglong Yanyue

The ingenious strategy can resonate with people. After Pang Tong and Fazheng surveyed the terrain of Zoumaling, they finally decided on a strategy of crossing Mianshui to the south and turning Micang Mountain to cross the trail, which is more feasible than occupying Maming Pavilion Road.

After Liu Bei was persuaded by Fazheng, Pang Tong's face was still heavy. He pointed to the sand table and continued to show worry: "Looking through the Micang Mountain trail, we need to send a large number of people to explore the road. If we can really bypass Yangping Pass and reach Dingjun Mountain area, the hidden dangers left behind are also very large..."

"What's the difficulty? Tell me quickly, Shi Yuan," Liu Bei urged.

Pang Tong pointed out the distance between the current camp and Dingjun Mountain, and then explained: "If you reach Dingjun Mountain by crossing mountains and ridges, the transportation difficulty of this section will increase, and the route of the entire grain road will also be lengthened a lot. Keep enough troops to defend the camp, not only will the consumption of food transportation increase, but the current troops may not be enough."

"The military division intends to increase troops and food?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

Pang Tong nodded, "It will indeed be so, but as Xiaozhi said, Hanzhong's geographical location is important, and it is worth paying more."

Liu Beixu raised his eyes and said affirmatively: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Even if Cao Cao comes personally, I will take Hanchuan. I will immediately revise the book and return to Chengdu to let Kong Ming handle it. If I knew it would be later, I would let Gongju (Fei Shi) go to Jiaozhou. I should find Ziyu again." For some food."

After hearing this, Fazheng shook his head: "Jiaozhou is too far away. Even if you can take a long waterway, the transportation costs and risks are great. It's better to leave it to General Guan. Besides, General Lan has been making drastic reforms. There may not be much food in stock..."

"It's because Bei relied too much on Ziyu. If there were no disciples for him to farm in Zitong, I'm afraid it will take time to attack Hanzhong. Deng Shizai will supervise the transportation of food next time. Remember to bring him to see me." Liu Bei sighed.

"Wei." Fazheng responded with cupped hands.

In order to confuse Xia Houyuan at Yangping Pass, Liu Bei confronted him in front of the pass, while continuing to exert pressure on Ma Geming Dao, and secretly sent people across the Mian River to Micang Mountain to explore the road, and asked the rear of Chengdu to raise troops and raise food and grass. Zhuge Liang went to solve it.

In the summer of July, there was still no news of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. At this time, the family letters were worth ten thousand gold, and Liu Bei often looked at the southeast direction outside the camp in a daze.

Now that Yangping Pass has not yet been conquered, the only hope left is Fei Shi, who is going to Jiaozhou, hoping to bring Song Chen back from Lantian.

Fei Shi took over the task of riding horses and boats, traveling down the Jialing River to the Yangtze River day and night, changing boats in Jiangzhou, and then following the Yangtze River into the border of Jingzhou.

It was summer, and the water in the rivers was soaring, and the boat was tossed and swayed in the wind and waves.

Fei Shi has never been on a boat for so long in his life. He got seasick and vomited all the way.

At the end of June, Fei Shi moored a boat at Gongan Port to rest. He hadn't touched land for almost 20 days, so he walked out of the cabin and lay down on the pier directly.

Fei Shi's strange behavior attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers. After interrogation, the soldiers learned that he was a Sima in the front of Yizhou. It was difficult for the patrol soldiers to meet such a big official, so they stayed where they were at a loss.

"How long is the water journey from the police to Guangzhou City?" Fei Shi asked while lying on the ground looking at the patrolling soldiers.

The patrolman clasped his fists and replied: "According to the experience of traveling to and from merchant ships, it will take about half a month's journey."

"So long? I'm going to die..." Fei Shi felt like going crazy when she heard that she was still going to faint for half a month.

The patrolman replied embarrassingly: "Because there is a dock to rest every [-] miles, if you don't rest halfway, maybe you can get there in ten days..."

Fei Shi shook his head, "But it's still too long, why do you get dizzy when you take the boat?"

The patrolman asked suspiciously: "Hasn't Fei Sima heard of the anti-sickness pill? Taking one pill can keep you from getting seasick for a day."

"Anti-dizziness pill? Is it available in Public Security City?" Fei Shi stood up immediately.

The patrolman shook his head and said, "The Zhiyun Pill was developed by the late genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and now only Zhongjingtang in Jiangling City sells it. Although this pill is not easy to buy, Fei Sima should be fine..."

"The effect of the medicine is serious?" Fei Shi asked with a frown.

"Should be very useful, right? Mr. Lan Fu who went to Jiangling yesterday, heard that his wife admired him very much..." The patrol soldiers were afraid that Fei Shi would not believe it, and even promoted the spokesperson of Zhiyun Pill.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lanfu?" Fei Shi asked.

"It's General Mulan of Jiaozhou, why don't you go to Jiaozhou..." The patrolman scratched his head.

Fei Shi grabbed the patrolling soldier's wrist and said excitedly, "General Lan really went to Jiangling?"

"No lie." The patrolman nodded.

Fei Shi was overjoyed, thinking that this way he could save a few days on the boat, he bid farewell to the patrol soldiers, boarded the boat, turned around, and headed upstream towards Jiangling.

Urging the boatmen to rush to Jiangling City, Fei Shi reveals his identity and inquires about Lantian's whereabouts. When he finds out that Lantian is in Guan Yu's state pastoral mansion, he doesn't bother to go to Zhongjingtang to buy anti-dizzy pills, so he rides his horse and whips to Guan Yu's mansion.

Fei Shi was led by the gate guards through the courtyard to the small square behind the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion. A circle of generals shouting and cheering stood in front of him, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the crowd from time to time.

"This is..." Fei Shi pointed to the front and asked curiously.

The doorman smiled all over his face, "It should be General Guan and his son-in-law who are fighting."

"General Guan's son-in-law? Whose family is handsome?"

Fei Shi showed a very exaggerated expression, thinking how old is the daughter of the Guan family?

"Second son of the Lan family, they are just engaged." The guard explained.

Fei Shi nodded and walked over, the guards led him to Guan Ping's side and didn't dare to disturb him, an old man and a young man were fighting back and forth in the central open space, Guan Yu swung the Qinglong Yanyue Saber to feed Lan Ji.

Lan Ji raised Fang Tian's painting halberd with both hands to pick, hold, lock, cut, stab, hook and extend into folding, dodging, pushing, shaking, grid, sweeping, hitting... It seems endless.

Guan Yu stepped forward quickly, stepped on the blue bricks, and dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Knife behind him forward with both hands. While the parrot's shirt was swinging, a cold light flashed across his waist, and the big knife slashed obliquely from behind like a moon.

Lan Ji's eyes were piercing. At the moment when Guan Yu's blade pierced through the air, he pulled back the painting halberd with one hand, then pressed it against the stone slab, and jumped up with his strength, jumping in the opposite direction with his agility.

When Lan Ji's feet landed on the ground, the green dragon knife fell on the stone slab and made an ear-piercing sound. Just as Guan Yu got up and raised his hand to close the knife, Lan Ji suddenly jumped up high again. He held the end of the long handle of Fang Tian's painting halberd with both hands. , the force sank in the direction of the 'old father-in-law'.

'Admiralty'

'Rhino Watching the Moon'

Although Guan Yu is over half a hundred years old, although he is not as agile as Lan Ji, his strength and accuracy are not in the same order at all. He saw the green dragon knife raised his hand to meet Fang Tian's painted halberd.

With a crisp clang, the painted halberd was thrown away by the back of Qinglong Dao.

Lan Ji was shocked by the powerful impact and retreated a few steps, the weapon in his hand was almost about to be dropped.

Guan Yu put the saber in front of him, nodded and commented: "The halberd technique is gorgeous and precise, but its strength is much worse than your father's. Use all your skills, and we will do it again."

4 Chapter Ninety

Fang Tian's painted halberd was extremely difficult to use, and those who played it well would become top military generals, and those who used it poorly would basically become guards of honor, using Fang Tian's painted halberd as a sacrificial vessel.

Fang Tian's painted halberd has both offensive and defensive functions, and has comprehensive functions, but it needs abundant strength, the higher the strength, the greater the power it will exert.

Lan Ji's height and strength far exceeded those of his peers, but in the eyes of the strict Guan Yu, he felt that it was not enough. The two men, Weng and his son, were dazzled in the fight in the field, and the generals and guards watching the battle kept applauding.

Lan Tian, ​​who was watching the battle, felt that Gao Shun beside him was not in the right mood, and when he turned his head, he saw tears welling up in the eyes of this serious man.

"Boping, what's wrong with you?" Lan Tian asked in a low voice.

Gao Shun realized that he lost his composure and shook his head again and again, "No...no...just seeing Zhong Ling so skillfully wielding a halberd reminds me of General Lu..."

Lan Tian caressed Gao Shun's back and comforted him: "The deceased is already dead. My uncle would be very pleased if Quanxia knew about it."

"Sir, you are right. How many people in the world can ask General Guan to recruit you? Zhongling (Lan Ji) is even luckier than Boyang (Lan Yuan)." Gao Shun shook his head with a smile.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "Boyang is enough to have you. Whether you are practicing martial arts or studying, you have to rely on yourself. The influence of external forces will not be so great, but Zhongling's performance still surprised me. After all, he is better than Boyang. He's still two years younger, so Fang Tian's painting of a halberd actually looks good."

"It should be talent." Gao Shun guessed.

The 13-year-old Lanyuan was already as tall as Lantian. Lu Lingqi felt that this child could use real weapons, so she asked Gao Shun to order weapons for him in the military workshop in Guangzhou.

When Gao Shun followed Lu Bu in Chang'an, he met an old blacksmith who wanted to make a saber. The old blacksmith told him that doping metals other than copper and iron might make the weapon more tough and rigid. Therefore, Gao Shun, who is extremely self-disciplined, has A hobby of collecting ores.

Over the decades, Gao Shun either bought or seized trophies, and obtained dozens of ores, including two very precious black stones, which are rumored to be solid stones that fell from the sky.

Gao Shun regarded Lan Yuan and Lan Ji as his own, and decisively took them out when forging weapons for them, and guarded the goldsmiths for smelting and forging.

The gold craftsmen forged it according to the shape of Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the shape of the last two painted halberds shocked the craftsmen.

One of the two moons is dark red, no matter how polished it is, it won't help; the other is silvery and white, just like an ordinary painted halberd, but there is a light blue light at the tip of the spear when it is swung.

Gao Shun said in his heart that the old blacksmith did not deceive me, he handed over to the learned Lan Tian to name them, and asked Lu Lingqi to distribute weapons to the two children.

According to the characteristics of the two painted halberds, Lantian referred to the names of the stars and the main stars of the fight, and named the two weapons respectively the Suzaku Xuanyue Halberd and the Canglong Pojun Halberd.

After thinking about it, Lu Lingqi gave the Suzaku Xuanyue Halberd to Lan Yuan, and left the Canglong Pojun Halberd to Lan Ji who was far away in Jiangling.

Taking advantage of Xu Shu's invitation to Lan Tian to go to Jiangling to discuss matters, Lu Lingqi asked Gao Shun to bring the Canglong Pojun Halberd to Lan Ji in advance.

After Lan Ji got the weapon, he couldn't put it down, and in the end it was the scene of Guan Yu pointing out his future son-in-law.

Guan Yu and Lan Ji fought weapons for hundreds of moves, and they had a general understanding of where Lan Ji's shortcomings were. Guan Yu finally threw the Qinglong Saber into the crowd, and Zhou Cang took it steadily and carried it on his shoulder.

Guan Yu took Lan Ji's hand and walked in front of Lan Tian, ​​"Zhongling may be using this halberd for the first time. Although he is proficient in the halberd technique, he is not smooth to use, and his strength needs to be strengthened. I will train him in the future. Ziyu, you should You won't feel bad, will you?"

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Yun Chang, what are you talking about? Zhong Ling is also your son now."

"The two of you have joined forces and don't give outsiders a chance at all..." Xu Shu pretended to complain.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuan Zhi, you can't blame us. Who told you not to work hard in the early years? Do you know that Mrs. Xu is pregnant with a boy and a girl?"

"It's not yet known..." Xu Shu's cheeks were slightly warm.

After Xu's mother got the prescription from Lantian, she supervised her son to take the medicine and tonic every day. In the end, it really had a miraculous effect, and her daughter-in-law's stomach soon started to move.

"I have experience in asking men and women for pulse diagnosis. I heard that your sons and daughters have been diagnosed correctly?" Guan Yu asked curiously.

Lan Tian nodded and replied: "I really had a very miraculous experience. Mr. Zhongjing's pulse is that of a son, and Mr. Yuanhua's pulse is that of a daughter..."

After hearing this, Guan Yu shook his head quickly: "It's more important to pass on the family line. Yuanzhi's first child should not go to Jiaozhou. Your wife's family also values ​​males more, but it's true that daughters can't learn from Sun Quan..."

Xu Shu said solemnly: "I don't plan to find someone to check my pulse. God will give me the best arrangement. If it's my daughter, I will take good care of it, so I won't marry like Sun Quan."

"Is there any news about that incident at the end?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Xu Shu smiled wryly: "At first there was no publicity in Jingzhou, Zhuge Ziyu's entourage accidentally spread the word, there must be people with ulterior motives in Jiangdong, they guarded General Guan's sentence 'My daughter will not marry Quanzi' Taodai Li Zhan said "Tiger daughters don't marry dog ​​sons" made Sun Quan lose face in Jiangdong, Zhuge Ziyu was relegated because of this, and everyone explained what the original words were..."

"Fangmin speaks louder than Fangchuan. What's wrong with the people living in poverty and complaining and joking? Sun Zhongmou's move is a big deal."

Lan Tianxin said that Zhuge Jin wouldn't become Xianglin's wife, right?With Sun Quan's petty mind, Guan Yu must be held hostage, how could this second master still get hatred.

"Ziyu, I've already brought what you want. Will you find a place to palm your eyes later?" Xu Shu patted his chest and asked.

Lan Tian nodded, "Alright."

Seeing this, Guan Yu waved the crowd away and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's sit in the side hall and chat slowly."

At this time Guan Ping walked forward with Fei Shi, clasped his fists and bowed to Lan Tian, ​​"General, this is Fei Sima from Yizhou, he came to see you by his uncle's order."

Fei Shi cupped his hands and bowed to everyone: "General Guan, General Lan, and Master Xu, I am Fei Shi."

"Is Fe Sima important?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Fei Shi nodded and said, "Under the order of my lord, General Xiang Lan will borrow someone."

"who?"

"Song Chen."

Lan Tian couldn't understand Liu Bei's operation, but still waved and said: "Fei Sima is going to the side hall with us, and I happen to have something to trouble you."

"Wei." Fei Shi answered with cupped hands.

Since the matters to be discussed were relatively secret, only Guan Yu, Lan Tian, ​​Xu Shu, and Fei Shi were left in the side hall, while Guan Ping pestered Lan Ji to the martial arts competition.

After Fei Shi finished explaining the story of Zhang Fei sending troops to Wudu, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought.

Guan Yu was the first to speak and said, "Although the third brother has a violent temper, almost no one can subdue him. Doesn't the elder brother have too much heart?"

Xu Shu shook his head and explained for Liu Bei: "My lord, if he cares about it, there will be chaos. Fortunately, Captain Song is currently in Jiangling, and your luck is really good for the public examination (Fei Shi)."

"Really? That's great." Fei Shi was full of surprise.

Chapter 491 Identifying the True and False King's Edict

Lan Tian didn't open his mouth after hearing Fei Shi's words. In his memory, Zhang Fei should return to Yizhou from Wudu. Why did Zhang Fei and Ma Chao seem to disappear after the Battle of Hanzhong started?Is it because of the butterfly effect?

Lan Tian immediately dismissed this idea. The butterfly effect can change small events, but it cannot influence the progress of the general trend of history.

Zhang Fei is a key existence in the Three Kingdoms, and the butterfly effect will not cause him to die inexplicably, not to mention that there is another important figure Ma Chao who is with him. It's going to get weirder.

Could it be that Zhang Fei has some ideas beyond ordinary people?He hadn't listened to many lectures in the martial arts hall, and it was difficult for him to make up for so many shortcomings.

Lan Tian thought to himself, totally not paying attention to the eyes of the people next to him.

"Ziyu? What are you thinking?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Shu asked curiously.

Lan Tian came back to his senses, and said confidently: "Gongju (Fei Shi) go back and tell the lord that Yide should turn the bad luck into good luck. As for Song Chen, he can go to Shu with you to listen to him."

"That's really great. I don't know where Lieutenant Song is now? I need to return to Yangping Pass right away. My lord is still waiting." Fei Shi asked.

"Song Chen can enter Shu at any time, but please wait for a while." After answering, Lan Tian looked at Xu Shu, motioning for him to show him things.

Xu Shu knowingly took out the silk from his bosom and handed it out. Dozens of words were densely written on the silk in official script. Lan Tian picked up the silk and read the content silently in his heart. It was the imperial edict issued by Emperor Liu Xie to Liu Bei , and the emperor's seal in the lower left corner.

After looking at it, Lan Tian nodded in satisfaction, then handed it to Fei Shi and said, "This item comes from Xudu. Yuan Zhi and I can't tell the authenticity from the fake. It is rumored that Military Master Zhuge is good at distinguishing the real from the fake, so you can take it back and give it to him along the way."
