Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Fei Shi accepted the imperial edict with doubts, and just glanced at it suddenly his face changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "This...is this really the emperor's edict?"

Lan Tian frowned and said: "This imperial edict was sent to Jiangling secretly by Geng Ji, the young mansion. At the beginning of the year, Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Ji Ben, Ji Miao and others took the emperor to rebel against Cao Cao. Unfortunately, they were defeated and punished by Xu Du. Is it correct? There is no evidence for death now..."

"It is logically impossible for the Son of Heaven to make the lord the King of Hanzhong, but it is impossible to completely disbelieve it, but there is a great possibility of coercion..." Seeing Lantian's noncommittal, Fei Shi expressed his opinion.

In fact, this matter is not dead without proof. Although Geng Ji was killed, the emperor is still there, but there is no way to prove it. Lan Tian launched this thing at this time, just to make it legal for Liu Bei to become king.

If Liu Bei wins Hanzhong and does not become a king, those generals who are born and died will have no chance of promotion, which will greatly reduce their enthusiasm for war, so Lan Tian took the initiative to help Liu Bei promote this matter.

Fei Shi is straightforward and dares to tell the truth, but such a low EQ can easily offend others.

Lan Tian remembers that the ministers pushed Liu Bei to become emperor, and Fei Shi was demoted because of his outspoken dissuasion.

"The public opinion makes sense. After all, Geng Ji is a close minister of the emperor. Although he is dead now and has no chance to prove it to the emperor, there is still a way to know the truth." Lan Tian said slowly.

"Let military master Zhuge come to identify? But this is still a bit of a joke..." Fei Shi shook his head.

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "In the past, the emperor gave the blood edict to the lord to punish the country's traitors. The blood edict was in the hands of Zhuge military adviser in Chengdu. Let him compare the handwriting of the two edicts, and the authenticity can be verified soon." .”

"The blood edict is written with fingers, but this edict doesn't seem to be..." Fei Shi put forward a different point of view.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "When writing, people have their own characteristics in the direction of starting and ending the pen, and the weight of the brush. There are still many calligraphers in Chengdu, so you should be able to tell whether it is written by the same person."

"This is really a good idea, but I am in a hurry to go back to Yangping Pass to find the lord to return to his command. Can this edict be handed over directly to the lord?" Fei Shi suggested.

Lan Tian waved his hands and said: "My lord is in the midst of a battle at Yangping Pass. It is not appropriate to send an edict whose authenticity is unknown. Why not go to Shu with Song Xiaowei in two ways for the public examination (Fei Shi)?" Let him go directly to Yangping Pass to report to the lord."

Fei Shi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, I'm not used to taking a boat. If Captain Song takes the same boat with me, he might arrive later..."

Lan Tian took out a small pottery bottle and handed it to Fei Shi, "This thing is called Zhiyun Pill, please take it for public use on the road, remember to take a pill before boarding the boat."

Fei Shi thanked and said: "I know the name of Zhiyun Pill, thank you General for your generosity."

"The authenticity of this imperial edict is unknown now. The public must keep it properly when entering Shu, and must hand it over to Kong Ming." Xu Shu reminded.

Fei Shi nodded, "Humble jobs will be regarded as life and carried with you."

At this time, Guan Yu called Liao Hua, who was waiting for orders outside the door, and pointed to Fei Shi in the room, and said, "Gongju worked hard all the way, and I heard that he vomited dozens of times. Yuan Jian (Liao Hua), please take care of me first. I'll finish talking with Ziyu and Yuanzhi, and then clean up the dust for him."

"Wei." Liao Hua cupped his fists to accept the order, and then took Fei Shi out.

After Liao Hua left, he closed the gate of the side hall again. Guan Yu glanced at the gate and asked curiously, "Why did you let Fei Gongju handle such a big matter? He seemed skeptical about it."

Lan Tian explained with a smile: "If my brother-in-law can conquer Hanzhong, he deserves to be the king of Hanzhong. Regardless of Jingzhou or Yizhou's officials, most of them actually hope that their brother-in-law can be crowned king, like Fei Gongju's attitude. There are not a few of them, and we just need to produce evidence to silence these people."

"Can Yuan Zhi's imitation book be a real one?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, as long as someone is willing to believe it, then the false is also true. Kong Ming is superior in resourcefulness and knows the deep meaning."

Xu Shu said worriedly: "There should be no problem with Kong Ming, but I'm just worried that people with ulterior motives will make false claims and ruin my Xu Shu's reputation.

"Even if someone insists on calling it a coercion, it's the work of Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang and others. How could it be possible to contact Yuan Zhi or the lord? Yuan Zhi, but don't worry, I think this matter is not bad." Lan Tian The eyes are firm.

When Lan Tian said this, Guan Yu felt that Liu Bei's claim to the king was a certainty, and he said with a little sigh: "Brother's attack on Hanzhong will definitely draw away Cao Cao's main force, and then I will attack Xiangyang and Fancheng to cooperate.

It's just that Xiangyang City is extremely strong, and Zhou Yu failed to win the siege for a year. Is there any clever plan for Ziyu and the army to help me? "

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "There has been a lot of rain in the past two years, and the Han River must rise sharply. When the water rises, Yun Chang will surely be able to conquer it with his troops."

"Ziyu and Yuanzhi have the same opinion, so Guan will just wait for the heavy rain." Guan Yu nodded.

Is the Battle of Xiangfan about to begin?Lan Tian suddenly trembled, and he immediately asked a nonsensical question.

"How about Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong? Is he honest when stationed in Lukou?"

Chapter 492 Picking Up Mountains and Rivers

Guan Yu sneered when he heard the words: "Lu Meng is far behind Lu Zijing. Since he became the governor, he has often given gifts to show his favor. Sun Zhongmou thinks that there is no one in Jiangdong."

"Yun Chang, don't be careless. Don't forget that Cheng Pu secretly invaded Changsha back then. It is rumored that this person planned to send out troops." Lan Tian reminded.

"How did Ziyu know? None of the spies from the Yangtze River News knows..." Xu Shu was very curious.

In the last battle between Sun and Liu against Changsha, Sun Quan was worried that Cheng Pu's death would cause commotion, so he strictly ordered the battalion leaders to keep the secrets, internally claiming that Sun Quan successfully subdued Jiangxia, and Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to beg for peace in order to maintain the alliance.

Lan Tian smiled mysteriously: "Yuan Zhi don't have to believe it, I have already set up my eyeliner in Jiangdong."

Xu Shu has long been convinced of Lantian's intelligence methods in the enemy's rear. Whether it is Hanzhong's rescue of Pang De, or Xu Du's rumors to trigger the rebellion of the emperor's close officials, the secret agents sent by Lantian are all superior.

Lantian's original era had already begun information-based warfare. He knew the importance of intelligence for a battle. Coupled with the blessing of countless spy war drama routines, Hu Ke, Song Chen and others trained by him are very important in this era. The fine work is completely a dimensionality reduction blow.

Seeing Xu Shu nodding his head affirmatively, Guan Yu stroked his long beard and replied contemptuously: "Lu Meng is condescending before and respectful later, thinking about it makes people laugh, and this person has the appearance of a jackal. Gan Xingba is now guarding the waters of Dongting. If there is any disturbance, the police, Jiangling's naval forces will make up for it in time, and I expect the tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers in Lukou to be nothing."

"It's good that Yun Chang has taken precautions." Lan Tian echoed softly.

Guan Yu couldn't resist admonishment and persuade him. At the beginning, Lan Tian wrote to remind Fu Shiren that his behavior in Jiangxia was too soft, and suggested that more secure people should be placed in such an important position.

Guan Yu didn't pay attention to Lan Tian's words because Fu Shiren took refuge in Liu Bei in his early years, and finally Lu Meng took advantage of the loophole and threw Jiang Xia away.

The current structure of Jingzhou is very different from that in history. Not only are the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang still in the hands of Liu Bei, but there is also a trustworthy general Gan Ning guarding Changsha. It will be very difficult for Lu Meng to carry out a backstab many.

Guan Yu asked again: "This year's rain is relatively heavy. Does Ziyu think that the flood in autumn can attack Xiangyang?"

Lan Tian shook his head seriously: "Using troops pays attention to the right time, place and people. At this time, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are not ready yet. The general's warship in Yushui has not yet been completed. The main force of Cao Cao in the north is still in the Central Plains. I don't think this year is a good one." opportunity……"

"What does Ziyu mean?" Guan Yu asked with vacant eyes.

"First, the water level of the Han River must be high enough to weaken the defenses of Xiangyang and Fancheng; second, the general's soldiers and horses for the northern attack must be well-trained and prepared, at least until the warships in Jiaozhou are built; In BIDW, the bandits Cao will inevitably lead the main force of the Central Plains to save Hanzhong, and the lone army facing Cao Ren will have the best chance of winning." Lan Tian analyzed.

"Then how long do we have to wait?" Guan Yu frowned.

Lan Tian replied firmly: "Whether it is us attacking Hanzhong or Cao Cao is going to rescue Hanzhong, the consumption of food and grass transportation is immeasurable. The victory and defeat should be determined this year and next year; in addition, training soldiers and building warships, I can't think of half a year." It can be completed; so as long as there is heavy rain next year, it will be an opportunity to go north."

Guan Yu nodded, "Guan has been observing in Jingzhou for several years, and the rivers swell every year in late summer and early autumn. Now I am preparing for the war next autumn. I have long wanted to teach Cao Renpifu a lesson. It doesn't matter if there is heavy rain or not." .”

"Yun Chang is right. As long as there is an opportunity to fight, we must seize it. It's not often that everything is ready." Xu Shu echoed.

"When the time comes, I will give my full support, Yun Chang, just wait for Megatron Huaxia." Lan Tian smiled knowingly.

The muscles on Guan Yu's red face relaxed, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If that day comes, Ziyu and Yuan Zhi should share the credit."

The three of them were heroic in their conversations, Guan Yu had his own aspirations and ideals, Xu Shu had his own political demands, and Lan Tian was excited because he could witness or change history.

Fei Shi and Song Chen left for Shu in the early morning of the next day. Because Lan Tian and Gao Shun were going back to Jiaozhou, several of them came to the pier at the same time.

Before boarding the boat, Lantian called Song Chen to the Yangtze River and told him: "It is rumored that the rice warehouse road is extremely dangerous. If you don't make preparations and go there, you may be in danger. Previously, refugees from Hanzhong entered Yizhou through this road. Before departure, you can find Shi Zai (Deng Ai) needs a few guides, and doing things in this way will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Thank you sir for caring." Song Chen cupped his fists.

The two sides waved goodbye at the pier, and several Clippers parted ways.

Behind the towering reeds on the north bank of the Yangtze River, two people rode red horses and chased Lan Tian's boat for two miles. They were Guan Yu and Lan Ji who hadn't arrived at the pier to see him off.

Lantian's boat went down the river and soon disappeared on the vast Yangtze River.

"I don't like the feeling of seeing off each other ten miles away, but since Zhong Ling is reluctant to part with you, why didn't you send your father off in person?" Guan Yu asked curiously.

There was no hesitation on Lan Ji's immature face: "My likes and dislikes should be on par with my uncle's. My father once said that a good man has ambitions everywhere. Only by learning the skills well can he rule the world. I want to cherish every moment in Jiangling. Now I can't live with them. You can only wait until you become famous in the future, and then repay your parents for their kindness."

Guan Yu smiled slightly: "Your father is an amazing person, maybe he doesn't expect anything in return. I wonder what Zhongling's ambition is? If so, can you tell me?"

"Take dreams as horses and live up to your youth. I wish to learn from the champions in the vast sea, and return to Jianzhang Palace after success." Lan Ji's tone was firm.

Guan Yu was a little surprised when he heard that, in this era when the country was in decline and the mountains and rivers were broken, Lan Ji actually had the pride of being a wolf and living in Xuxu. Although this ambition seemed a little out of date in the troubled times, but thinking of his mysterious father, Guan Yu suddenly smiled.

"Zhongling's ambition is very lofty, so learn from me, how about we pick up this old mountain and river?" Guan Yu encouraged.

"Wei." Lan Ji gave Guan Yu a military salute.

Guan Yu nodded in relief. He looked at the Yangtze River rushing to the east, and felt that his Jingzhou was safe for the time being. Lan Tian and Xu Shu had already prepared the "edict to seal the king". Hanzhong?

Guan Yu was also worried about Zhang Fei who had lost the news. He was not only intact when he was separated from Xiaopei, but also accidentally picked up a wife in the end. Now Lantian sent Song Chen to help, hoping to bring back good news.

Song Chen and Fei Shi went against the current. The two originally planned to part ways in Jiangzhou. Fei Shi took the "edict" to Zhuge Liang to verify the authenticity, and Song Chen went to the front line of Yangping Pass alone to report to Liu Bei.

Fei Shi met Sima Pangxi in Jiangzhou. Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to send more troops, horses, money and food to the counties in Yizhou.

After Pang Xi drew troops, he had to return to Chengdu first. Fei Shi asked Pang Xi to take the "edict" back to Chengdu. He still kept in mind the mission Liu Bei gave him, and he wanted to return to Yangping Pass with Song Chen.

Chapter 493 Returning to Yangping Fei Shi Recommends Ai

In mid-July of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Fei Shi returned to Yangping Pass for nearly fifty days.

Fei Shi went back and forth between Yangping Pass and Jiaozhou so quickly, and Liu Bei seemed to feel a gust of cool wind in his depressed mood. During this period of time, there was no good news for those sent to Micang Mountain to explore the road.

Micang Mountain is densely forested, steep, and there are wild beasts in the mountain from time to time. Not only did the men sent by Liu Bei fail to find a suitable passage, but also lost their way and disappeared, fell off the cliff, and died of being attacked by wild beasts. As many as a hundred people.

Yangping Pass and Maming Pavilion Road are still maintaining a feint attack, consuming the military supplies that Zhuge Liang worked so hard to raise every day.

"Why did you return empty-handed? Could it be that Song Chen is still in the north?" Seeing Fei Shi alone, Liu Bei was in a good mood like being poured with cold water, and his tone was a little stiff due to the huge sense of loss.

Seeing that Liu Bei was slightly angry, Fei Shi cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, Captain Song entered Shu with me, and I should have stepped on the trail of Micang Mountain by now. If I hadn't spent two days in Jiameng Pass, I would still Come back sooner."

Pang Tong next to Liu Bei asked curiously: "Yangpingguan is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou. It's incredible that the public can come back so quickly, and Song Xiaowei has also entered the Micangshan trail. How did you do it?" of?"

"Returning to the Pang Army Division, it may be because of the lord Hong Fu. When I stopped the ship in Jiangling to rest, I accidentally found that General Lan and Captain Song were there. If I hadn't spent two days in Jiameng when I returned to the city, I would have been two days earlier. Go back to the lord." Fei Shi answered truthfully.

"The luck of the public examination is really good..." Liu Bei suddenly realized, first talking to himself, and then continued to ask: "Can Ziyu ask you to bring something back?"

Fei Shi replied: "General Lan asked my lord to rest assured that General Yide must still be hiding in Wudu. As long as the lord puts pressure on Cao Jun in Hanzhong, General Zhang will naturally show up..."

"Ziyu shares the same opinion as the two military advisers, but the pathfinding at Micang Mountain is extremely slow now. I don't know when we can really open up a passage to the hinterland of Hanzhong..." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

Fei Shi suddenly said in a flash: "The Jiameng area of ​​Zitong County is mostly refugees from Hanzhong. Many people know a little about the topography of Micang Mountain. Song Xiaowei went to Micang Road to ask Deng Shizai (Deng Ai) to borrow it." I have become a guide, my lord, why don't you let him take the refugees from Hanzhong to explore the way?"

"Bei actually forgot about this, and has been treating Deng Shizai as a general in the field, maybe he can really be like a public examination office..." Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking.

Military Advisor Fazheng questioned with a puzzled face: "There are 20 refugees from Hanzhong, and there may be households from Mi Cangshan among them. What Shi Caigongju said is very reasonable. My lord ordered Deng Ai to come and see him."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Exploring the road in Micang Mountain is full of dangers. Deng Shizai is the grandson of the old master Deng, and he is Ziyu's only disciple. What if something goes wrong? Besides, he organizes food transportation for the villagers in Zitong and Jiameng. It is also contributing to the capture of Hanzhong."

"Mr. Xuanxiao is proficient in running schools, developing agriculture, managing government affairs, and employing soldiers. His disciples are definitely not idle people. The civilians who have been fighting for several months to transport food are strictly disciplined, and they are completely comparable to a second-rate army. It is enough to see Deng Shizai. The ability is extraordinary, my lord, don't look forward and backward, but know how to use it well." Fazheng advised.

Pang Tong nodded in agreement: "Deng Shizai not only obtained the essence of Ziyu from the farmland, but also settled the 20 refugees in Hanzhong properly. Tong came to Zitong several times and found that he has a high prestige among the villagers. My lord must pay attention to this force. I guess Ziyu will also I don't want his disciples to be buried in Qianmo."

"What the two military advisers said is very true. Before Song Xiaowei went to Jiameng to borrow a guide, Deng Shizai had learned that Micang Mountain was not going well. He is currently hesitating whether to come here to invite Ying, but he has been selected among the villagers to dare to die. Gentleman, I guess as long as the lord nods slightly, he will be happy to see you." Fei Shi replied.

"Ziyu is really Xiao Heye. I watched Deng Shizai grow up. This child is calm and sophisticated, and he has the style of a teacher. Ziyu can't stay with me, so he can only work hard as his disciple. I will trouble you again Let's go." Liu Bei sighed sincerely.

"Wei." Fei Shi answered with cupped hands.

After Liu Bei became the lord of Yizhou, the most mentioned topic in Chengdu about Lantian was the seafood shipped from Jiaozhou every winter. People in central Shu didn't know that Lantian was a seafood merchant.

Because Lantian was vigorously developing schools in Jiaozhou, and he did not treat the nobles extra when appointing officials, the children of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and Yizhou had a lot of opinions on him. However, because of his high position and authority, he did not dare to speak nonsense, so he collectively avoided the topic of Lantian.

General Lai Gong of Zhenyuan spared no efforts in publicity, so that Lantian maintained a slight sense of presence in Yizhou.

As a disciple of Lantian, Deng Ai was affected by Chiyu. He made great contributions to settling Hanzhong refugees in Zitong and reclaiming wasteland.

Everyone in the tent saw Liu Bei and Xiao He came to make an analogy. They knew that no matter how Lan Tian was squeezed out, in Liu Bei's heart, Optimus Prime still exists.

Two days later, Deng Ai came to Liu Bei's camp on the north bank of Mianshui, and he entered Liu Bei's tent under the leadership of Chen Dao.

I haven't seen each other for a few years. Deng Ai has transformed from an immature youth to a firm-eyed adult. He has been in the fields all year round guiding planting, leading villagers to build new water conservancy and irrigation, and his skin has been tanned like Lantian. Bian also began to grow long beards slowly.

Deng Ai is only 21 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his youth. After being tossed about by himself, his apparent age has directly increased by seven or eight years.

Liu Bei looked at Deng Ai and nodded with satisfaction: "You have changed a lot these years. It has been hard work in Zitong, right?"

Liu Bei knew that Deng Ai's promotion had been blocked, but he had no choice but to stabilize the people's hearts at the beginning of Shuzhong. In addition, his current official position was only the left general of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to properly settle the Yuancong faction, Jingzhou faction, Dongzhou faction, and Yizhou It was not easy to send people. It was obviously a situation where there were too many monks and too few food, so we could only wrong this young man temporarily.

"It's not easy until you practice it yourself. It really comprehends my husband's saying, 'What you learn on paper is superficial, but you must do it yourself'. In the past few years, I have gained a lot by applying what I have learned, so I did not feel the hard work, but rather A little sense of accomplishment." Deng Ai replied truthfully.

"Ziyu really taught a good disciple. He asked Shi Zai to plant grain in Zitong, just to use it to capture supplies from Hanzhong. I'm afraid Kong Ming may not be able to make such a layout. Now you have to work hard to cross Micang Mountain. I don't know if there is any." Confidence?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

Deng Ai patted his chest and replied sonorously: "I selected [-] men who dared to die, and among them there are many hunters from Micang Mountain. This trip should be able to open a passage to provide guarantee for the passage of troops and the transportation of supplies. "

Liu Bei patted Deng Ai's shoulder, and said very kindly: "I don't know why, your master and apprentice can always make Bei feel at ease. Some soldiers will go into the mountains to explore the road. I will take the land of Hanchuan."

Chapter 494 I'm Not Here

Deng Ai crossed Mianshui with [-] men who dared to die after Liu Bei's heroism, and plunged into Micang Mountain.

It was summer at this time, in order not to get lost in the mountains, Deng Ai used the stars in the night sky as a guide to slowly advance towards the northeast.

This road is not only the marching route, but also an important food road for the front-line army in the future. Deng Ai avoided the straight road of towering mountains, but chose to walk through valleys and ravines as much as possible, and cleared obstacles when encountering thorns blocking the road.

There are many mountain springs and streams in the mountain streams, which can fully guarantee the water source for marching and transporting food, and it is very smooth to have Orion guide the way.

Deng Ai liked military affairs when he was a child, and he was a student who had never been absent from the lecture hall. Especially after he made the sand table in Lantian, Deng Ai often asked Gao Shun to survey the mountains and rivers. Learn extra hard.

During the exploration in Micang Mountain, Deng Ai not only asked people to open roads and build bridges, but also left marks along the way for future marches, food, camps and rest.
