Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Is there still a suitable position for the entrapment army?" Lan Tian turned his head and asked.

Gao Shun frowned and said: "Sir, you know that the size of the entrapment army is limited, and the positions of officers are even more scarce. Song Chen was born in the most elite reconnaissance battalion. It is really impossible to let him be Chu Qing's deputy, but it will break the law." The current system of the siege army."

"It's not easy to establish a system. Song Chen has made a lot of contributions this time. Even as Sima of the reconnaissance battalion, I feel that he has been wronged."

Lan Tian is well aware of the importance of system management, he can't break the rules for a certain person, otherwise he will open another opening.

"You can't say that. If it weren't for the master's careful training and planning, Song Chen wouldn't have the credit." Gao Shun argued.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "Even if I have supernatural abilities, I still can't take all the credit. I still need them to provide more promotion opportunities, but it's not easy for my brother-in-law to arrange for this army that fell into the battle."

"It doesn't mean that Liu Xuande can't trust the soldiers because I'm the general of the young lady's family?" Gao Shun suddenly wanted to understand something.

"It is precisely because you, the commander-in-chief of the trapped army, refused to be awarded, and the rest of the soldiers in the army could not be awarded, so it is difficult for brother-in-law to reward Song Chen." Lan Tian explained.

Gao Shun didn't expect the core conflict to be on himself, so he asked anxiously: "It doesn't matter whether the soldiers in the army are rewarded or not. The key is not to let Mr. Su suffer suspicion because of this, or you can ask me for a military position?"

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Brother-in-law's heart, Boping hasn't understood it for so many years? I will write to my brother-in-law tomorrow. He will become the king of Hanzhong and want to reward hundreds of officials. I just want to ask you for a position. I will see Xingba later." (Gan Ning), Ling Ming (Pound), you are all on equal footing."

"I don't know what kind of position Xuande will give you when he becomes the queen. If you don't have this throne, I'm afraid I won't get it so easily." Gao Shun said with a serious face.

"Don't overestimate yourself. Who do you think the sun will stop rising because of? My brother-in-law has lofty ambitions and a rock-solid heart. Even without my assistance, he will eventually achieve great success." Lan Tian shook his head and sighed.

Gao Shun was not impressed. He pondered for a while and then suddenly asked: "What are you going to do about what happened in Rinan County? If you ignore it completely, it will not only discourage the enthusiasm of merchants, but also hinder the maritime trade plan. Shi Xie There may be other opinions there."

"Although the incident in Rinan County is very bad, we can't send troops for the time being. Let Shi Zhi write to Qi Shixie first. Jiuzhen County is adjacent to Rinan County. It is easier to send troops to question the crime. None of the soldiers in Guangzhou can do it this year. Move." Lan Tian was very serious.

"Why?"

Lan Tian walked up to the sand table, pointed to the northern part of Jingzhou and said, "General Guan has been slowly advancing to the north since last year. He fought Wenpin many times in Hanshui alone. Now the lord defeated Cao Cao to capture Hanzhong, and ordered Liu Feng and Meng Da to take the three eastern counties, so this year is a good time to conquer Xiangyang and Fancheng, as long as the entire Han River is connected, Jingzhou and Hanzhong can support each other."

"No wonder General Guan sent the warships at Yushui Dock to the north. They were planning to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng, but what does this have to do with us? We have already provided armaments, money and food, so sir, do you want to send troops to help? How could Cao Ren be that way?" General Guan's opponent?" Gao Shun asked curiously.

Lan Tian sneered: "Of course I'm not worried about Cao Ren, but how can there be only one Cao Ren among Jingzhou's enemies? Can the blue eyes in the east watch us grow up?"

Gao Shun was a little surprised and asked: "A few days ago, Hu Ke sent back news that Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's failure in Hanzhong, and the people in the north were unstable due to the heavy corvee. Is Sun Quan going to attack Hefei? Why is Mr. always worried about him?"

Lan Tian shook his head slightly: "Leaving aside the grievances and grievances of the past, if General Guan can really capture Xiangyang and fully connect Yizhou, Hanzhong and Jingzhou waterways, since he can send troops to the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains, why can't he go down the river to capture Jiangdong? The navy army is much stronger than what Cao Cao trained in Xuanwu Pool."

"Sir, you are right. Gan Xingba's navy alone is enough for Jiangdong rats to suffer, but aren't we allies now?" Gao Shun swallowed.

Lan Tian solemnly replied: "There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. Sun Quan was able to form an alliance with us against Cao Cao, why can't he form an alliance with Cao Cao against us? How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?"

Gao Shun felt that it made sense. If the former owner Lu Bu could live to this day, he would probably be played around by these politicians, right?But on second thought, how could Lu Bu survive till now?

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, which one is not the best?

Chapter 519 Introducing the Undercurrent of Public Opinion

Gao Shun left the apse of the main hall, and when he went out, he found that Pang De, Sha Moke and others were guarding outside.

"General Bopin, what did you say in the end? When will the troops be dispatched to Nichinan?" Pound asked expectantly.

Gao Shun replied: "There are priorities, Cao Cao's defeat in Hanzhong, the world is in turmoil, and General Guan is taking advantage of the situation to go north to attack Xiang and Fan. Mr. is currently focusing on Jingzhou, so the affairs of Rinan County need to be slowed down."

"It's okay to fight Cao Cao. Jiaozhou has been in peace for the past two years, and I have been very idle." Shamoke scratched his head and smirked.

"Isn't the outer city wall of Guangzhou almost unfinished? General Sha, you feel free now?" Gao Shun asked.

Sha Moke chuckled: "It's just that the work is almost done, and besides, building a city is not as easy as attacking it..."

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "I think you have lived a good life for a long time. If you usually feel too free, you should train more and do more actual combat drills."

Pound suddenly spoke up and asked, "General Boping, my cavalry lacks opponents, can you practice a few times with your entrapment army?"

Gao Shun was startled when he heard that, and then he refused to remind him: "What joke is Ling Ming playing? It's not easy to get this batch of war horses. If there is any damage during the exercise, it will not be counterproductive. The soldiers in the formation are heavy infantry."

With the strong support of Lantian, Pound bred and raised horses by himself, and entrusted a caravan to smuggle and buy horses in the north, and managed to gather a cavalry force of 3000 men.

Pang De explained: "It's not really about using cavalry to confront the falling army, but just trying to fight against horses. I heard that Chu Sima's reconnaissance battalion under your command is all equipped with horses, but horse warfare, infantry combat, reconnaissance, Spies are proficient in everything..."

"Do you know why the reconnaissance battalion only has a few hundred people? It's because training is too difficult. You should concentrate on training the cavalry you are good at. If you can train to the level of Xiliang cavalry, it is enough to gallop the world." Gao Shun advised.

Pound sighed: "Training troops is not a problem, but the lack of actual combat is very dangerous for cavalry. Although they fight under horses, they cannot be as elite as the army in the army, but they must have sufficient self-protection ability. General Bopin should be good at training troops. I have learned that it is more difficult to train a good soldier than a good horse."

Gao Shun was a little surprised when he heard that Pang De, a big and thick man from Xiliang, cared so much for his soldiers. He thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate to directly practice with the fallen army. I'll ask Lu Tie to send someone to your cavalry. Come on, anyway, the Martial Arts Hall is also responsible for the security of Guangzhou."

"Then thank you, General." Pound clasped his fists in thanks.

Lu Tie's Lecture Hall is a training institution for recruits, and those instructors are all veterans of the fallen army. The cavalry Pang De recruited himself was embarrassed to ask Gao Shun to help him train. Now there is a Lecture Hall that can make up for his own shortcomings, so Pound was full of gratitude.

"Sir, I need to find Jiang Biejia (Jiang Wan) for something. Gaoyuan, you can send someone to go for me. The matter of Rinan County is arranged by yourself. The wild monkeys can't make big waves, so you all go away first."

After Gao Shun explained the mission, he walked up to Song Chen and said, "I'll take you to the military area to settle down. On the way, tell me about the battle in Hanzhong?"

"Wei." Song Chen responded with cupped fists.

The wild monkeys mentioned by Gao Shun and others are the Zhan people in Rinan County, where the businessman Wang Shi had an accident.

Since using the large ships built by Li Yidu, Wang Shi's trade has gradually extended to Jiuzhen County, Rinan County and other places besides Hepu, Zhuya Island, Jiaozhi and other places in the offshore.

Rinan County broke away from the Han Dynasty and became Linyi Kingdom independently. Because of its superior geographical location, it is a transit place for exploration to Nanyang, so Wang Shi also plans to make great efforts here.

Wang Shi took the goods from the Central Plains bought by Jiaozhou, and carried out trade in Linyi by means of barter. Linyi Kingdom is located in the remote and barren south and lacks supplies. Among the trades with Wang Shi, there is Champa rice that Lantian has been thinking about.

Seeing that the people in Linyi are simple and honest, and Wang Shi's business here is very smooth, he thought that he should be able to gain a firm foothold soon, but what he faced was an unforeseen disaster.

Natural greed makes people evil. Mo Luo, the general in charge of the safety of the dock, saw the dazzling array of goods on the sea ship and became evil. He went to the king's district of Linyi and framed Wang Shi as a spy of the Han Dynasty.

Ou Jin's father, Ou Lian, gathered people in Xianglin to rebel and finally killed the county magistrate of the Han Dynasty to establish the country.

The district family was worried that the Han Dynasty would settle accounts after the autumn, so they had been training the army for a long time to prepare for the war, and they took the initiative to cut off contact with Jiuzhen County in the north.

When the Shixie family ruled Lingnan, they had no intention of regaining the lost land for the Han Dynasty. This made the tense Lin Yiguo heave a sigh of relief, and concentrated on expanding the territory south of Xianglin County, but they did not relax their vigilance against the Han Dynasty for a moment. .

King Qu Jin of Linyi chose to be in vain rather than let it go, and ordered General Moro to seize the five large ships and execute more than a hundred accompanying sailors and boatmen. middle.

The news was sent back to Guangzhou City through other caravans, and the call for crusade against the Nichinan wild monkeys was rampant. In the end, even generals such as Gao Shun and Pang De couldn't help calling for a fight.

The 24th year of Jian'an was a turning point for the Three Kingdoms. Lan Tian didn't dare to disperse his energy and troops to other places. He wanted to keep an eye on the rear of Jingzhou to prevent chaos, so he forcibly suppressed the wave of public opinion in Guangzhou.

Not long after Gao Shun and the others left, Gao Yuan opened the door and brought Jiang Wan in.

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Wan was panting and came in a hurry, but he still did not forget the etiquette and bowed.

"Gong Yan, sit down and talk, how is the matter I asked you to check?" Lan Tian said, pointing to the seat next to him.

Jiang Wan helped the hem of the robe to finish, and replied with a serious face: "Sure enough, as you expected, there are really people who are secretly promoting the matter of sending troops to Rinan County. It should be the secret work of Jiangdong. For the inspection of the four city gates of Guangzhou, let’s close the doors and beat the dogs again, and these troublemakers can be caught in one go.”

Lan Tian squinted his eyes and shook his head, "The main reason why Guangzhou City has become so prosperous in such a short period of time is that it has given a great degree of freedom. Only businessmen from far away will come here to do business. People will go to the empty building.”

"If we don't control them, I'm worried that they will coerce public opinion, and what's more, it will affect the prestige of the Fujun, and then affect the governance of Jiaozhou." Jiang Wan looked worried.

Lan Tian sneered and said: "We can send secret agents to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan can also send secret agents to Jiaozhou, but Gong Yan can rest assured that everything is under my control. If you want to play the role of Lingnan News, you only need to use the people's opinions If the attention is drawn to Hanzhong and Xiangyang, the wild monkeys in Nichinan will naturally be unattractive.”

"Didn't you say that the Lingnan Daily only reported Jiaozhou affairs..." Jiang Wan asked.

"Isn't it okay to be a vegetarian every day and eat meat once in a while?" Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

5 Chapter Twenty

Once Lan Tian instructed, Jiang Wan immediately understood.With Jiang Wan's ingenuity, it's not that he couldn't think of it, it's just that important decisions require the leader to nod.

The city of Guangzhou seems to accommodate visitors from all over the world, but it actually adopts the old rules of Quanling.

Lan Tian likes to use the defense policy of loose outside and tight inside, because it can not only exercise the ability of managers, but also make the environment of the people easier.

The secret work Sun Quan sent to Guangzhou City has actually been under the supervision of Lantian.

They couldn't touch the confidential information on Lantian's side, and occasionally revealed those irrelevant contents, which was also for the people sent back by Hu Ke to deal with them.

Lan Tian wanted to promote business and education in Guangzhou, but he did not raise troops, but Sun Quan never took him lightly. He secretly sent people to instigate a rebellion in Jiaozhou, hoping to consume Gao Shun's army.

It's a pity that the sky is not what people want. There have been no major natural disasters in Jiaozhou in the past two years. Lantian's planting technology and new grain varieties have been widely promoted in various counties. The people have food and clothing and no one will rebel.

Lin Yiguo forcibly seized the seagoing ships and detained the businessman Wang Shi. After this incident was reported to Guangzhou City, the hidden secret work was instructed by Jiangdong Sun Quan.

They trumpeted Lin Yiguo's arrogance, exaggerating this behavior as declaring war on Jiaozhou.Coercing the Ruozhou government to respond to the war is to fear the barbarians, and the argument that those who offend us will be punished no matter how far away they are is also brought out.

Sun Quan's purpose was to kill people with a knife. If Lantian sent troops to crusade against Rinan County, his army would not only have to pass Shixie's defense zone, but also would have great risks in fighting across the ocean.

If these uncertain factors are not handled well, it will easily weaken the strength of Jiaozhou, and that is what Sun Quan wants to see.

It is a good excuse for Wang Shi to be detained. The dispatch of troops from Lantian can not only conquer the lost land of the Han Dynasty, but also get the Champa rice he dreamed of.

Lan Tian saw that Jiang Wan had understood, and then confessed: "I will deal with the matter of Rinan County, but I will wait until the situation in the northern part of Jingzhou becomes clearer, but I can't ignore it now, I guess Wang Shi is not in danger for the time being.

Later, you write a letter to Yuan Taishou of Yulin County, asking him to comfort Chen Tu and Wang Shi's family with good words. Since you are responding to my suggestion to go to sea, I will take responsibility for the problem. If something happens to the shopkeeper, I support his wife by myself. "

"This...you don't have to be like this, right? Shopkeeper Wang went to sea mainly for profit." Jiang Wan explained.

Lan Tian shook his head slightly, "It is still necessary to have an attitude. Gong Yan will go to the trade zone tomorrow and let Shi Zhi persuade his father to ask Lin Yi for someone."

"Shi Weiyan's behavior..." Jiang Wan seemed a little embarrassed, because the secret of the longevity of the scholar family is the dog, how could he stand up for a businessman?Absolutely will find an excuse to refuse.

"We still have to spread the word. When the time comes, he won't be able to deal with Lin Yi, so I can use this as an excuse to send troops." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Lantian's interlocking methods are really admirable.

When Lantian sent troops to crusade against Lin Yiguo, Shi Xie would not only be willing to borrow the way, but might also provide food and grass supplies.

After the two of them finished talking about Lin Yiguo, Lan Tian turned to Jiang Dong, "Have you heard any news about Jiang Dong recently? Especially about Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others?"

"At present, there is only news from Hu Ke. Sun Quan mobilized troops, horses, money and food in various states and counties. It should be to continue to attack Hefei. Lu Meng who is stationed in Jiangxia seems to have no sense of existence. As for that Lu Xun, is he very powerful? Why did you mention him alone? The identity of this person It's a bit special, and Sun Quan probably wouldn't trust it." Jiang Wan replied with a frown.

Lan Tian looked serious, "Gong Yan, don't underestimate anyone. The Lu family was almost wiped out by Sun Ce before. Lu Boyan supported the big clan at a weak age and allowed the Lu family to occupy the seat of the Jiangdong clan. How could he be mediocre? He should be very clever. It is."

"A lowly position is taught." Jiang Wan stood up and bowed his hands.

Lan Tian also stood up: "Anyway, pay close attention to Jiangdong's movements, especially the news about Lu Meng and Lu Xun."

"only."

"Song Chen came back from Hanzhong, and Bo Ping took him back to the garrison of the fallen army to reminisce about the old days. There should be a banquet in the military area tonight. Let's go there together to clean up the dust for him?"

Jiang Wan hastily declined: "The humble job is going to select manuscripts for Lingnan News, and also to talk to the gentleman about Rinan County, so don't disturb Mr. Song's elegant mood. Later, I will invite Captain Song to drink alone."

"That's fine too."

Lan Tian didn't force it when he saw this, because the invitation was indeed abrupt, and the stern army was well-known for its strict discipline. Without the permission of Commander Gao Shun, the entrapment army would not receive anyone, not even Shamoko and Pound if they wanted to visit.

After sending Jiang Wan out of the back hall of the main hall, Lan Tian twisted his neck and stretched his waist. Because of the sudden incident in Rinan County, he met too many people in one day, and the sun had already set to the west by accident.

Lan Tian walked outside the hall, and Gao Yuan trotted up to meet him.

"Sir, the general is cleaning up for Song Chen in the barracks. Please go directly after you finish your work, and Lao Lu and the others have also passed." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and told.

Lan Tian nodded, "Of course I will be there, but what is Madam doing at this hour? She is the master of the fallen army, and she should also go and see Song Chen."

"Now that the sun is going down, my lord should take the lady to play in the rear house." Gao Yuan guessed.

"You go and prepare the carriage first, and I'll ask Mrs. Shang to go with me." Lan Tian ordered.

"Wei." Gao Yuan nodded.

Lan Tian strode towards the back house, the garden is now full of peach trees, the peaches hanging on the trees are bright in color, and they will be fully ripe in a few days.

Every March, Lu Lingqi is in a good mood, because at that time, the peach blossoms in the garden can no longer be closed, but the fruits will start to fall off automatically if they are not picked in time.

When the peaches were ripe in the first year, Lantian went to Longchuan, Jieyang and other places to inspect.

Because Lu Lingqi didn't pick the peaches in time, and because of the torrential rain in summer, the bright red peaches fell into the garden and rotted countless times, so Lantian named it Rotten Peach Garden.

Having had the first experience of rotten peaches, Lu Lingqi asked Lan Tian for the time. A few days before the peaches were fully ripe, she asked the maids to pick all the peaches. Except for a small part to eat for herself, Gao Shun let Gao Shun take the rest. Army to distribute.

Lan Tian walked through the rotten peach garden and walked into the backyard. From a distance, he saw Lu Lingqi and her daughter sitting on the porch. The two were enjoying watching Lanyuan dancing the halberd.

Lan Qing, two and a half years old, can already walk and run. Compared with her two naughty older brothers, the quiet Lan Qing is a typical lady. She sits quietly next to her mother and applauds Lan Yuan from time to time.

There is often such a warm scene in the back house, Lan Tian leaning on the doorpost, reminding with a smile: "Xiaojun, the peaches in the garden will be picked in ten days or so."

"Father."

"Husband..."

Lu Lingqi was sitting lazily, but when she heard Lan Tian's voice, she immediately stood up.

Lan Yuan quickly retracted the Suzaku Xuanyue Halberd, and stood motionless in the middle of the backyard.

Little Lanqing shook off her chubby calf, and ran towards Lantian staggeringly.

Lan Tian stretched his arms and squatted down. The moment Lan Qing threw himself into his arms, Lan Tian took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around his daughter and spun around in place. He knew that his daughter liked the feeling of taking off the most.
