Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"General Guan flooded the seven armies. Cao Jun must be terrified when he hears about it, but Xiangyang and Fancheng are the horns of each other, and we must divide our troops to attack to win. Fortunately, we have the advantage of the waterway now. It depends on whether Cao Cao will rescue it himself. If not Then General Guan will be able to achieve great achievements." Fazheng stroked the need for analysis.

"What if Cao Cao goes to rescue him?" Lan Tian asked.

Fazheng replied: "If Cao Cao really goes to save him, General Guan must also have reinforcements, otherwise he can only surround the spot to fight for reinforcements, consuming the vital strength of Cao's army..."

Lan Tian looked at Fazheng's plans from his heart, "General Zidu (Meng Da) is in Shangyong, why don't the military adviser write a book and send troops to help him? At that time, General Meng will also be on the credit list."

"This...General Guan doesn't like the young general (Liu Feng). If Zidu raises his troops to help, he might be hated by Yunchang..." Fazheng is a little embarrassed, because Guan Yu is really difficult to get along with. Rescue, it may have the opposite effect.

Lan Tian reminded: "General Guan is not unreasonable. As long as it is beneficial to the country, why should he be timid? Besides, it is not a good idea to mix Zidu and son together..."

Fazheng was taken aback when he heard that. When Liu Bei arranged to take the East Three Counties, he was sweating for his good friend Meng Da. Still working together is not good for the future.

"The general reminded me that I will write the book and send it to Shangyong, so that Zidu can send troops to Fancheng immediately." Fazheng said, cupping his hands.

"Wait a minute." Lan Tian suddenly called Fazheng to stop.

"Is there any order from the general?" Fazheng was full of doubts.

Lan Tian said meaningfully: "Since the military division wants to send a letter, why not give Zidu two clever strategies to defeat the enemy?"

"Uh... I don't know anything about the battle in Fancheng, so where can I give you a plan? Could it be..."

Lan Tian nodded, "I did think of a plan. General Guan's flooding of the Seventh Army made Cao's army terrified. Fu Fang, governor of Nanxiang, and Hu Xiu, governor of Jingzhou, would surely surrender. Why didn't the military adviser make a fuss about these two men? Let Zidu beat them Fishing in troubled waters under the banner of the banner, maybe we can win Xiangyang or Fancheng..."

"This...Fu Fang and Hu Xiu rebelled against Cao?" Fazheng showed an incredulous expression, "Why is the general so determined?"

"Yesterday, I watched the sky at night, and the astrology showed it to be like this. Don't miss this opportunity. Kong Ming is also well versed in astrology and gossip. How can I talk nonsense about important military and state affairs, and the military commander doesn't have to believe it." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

Lan Tian pushed all the illusory evidence to the stars, and also used the spokesperson Zhuge Liang as evidence, making Lan Tian's point of view very "reliable".

In history, Liu Feng and Meng Da refused to send troops. Now that there are more letters from Fazheng, it may be very different.

Fazheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, if Lantian's so-called celestial phenomena were accurate, it would be a great contribution to Meng Da, so he quickly handed over his hands to express his gratitude: "If the astrological predictions are accurate, you can really use Fu Fang and Hu Xiuda to make a fuss, Now that the Jingzhou navy has blocked Xiangyang, and the news from the outside world has almost been interrupted, as long as we can win the trust of the prefect Lu Chang, we may really be able to win Xiangyang."

"The military strategist's analysis is not bad at all, but this strategy must be kept strictly confidential, if it is leaked, it will not work." Lan Tian reminded.

"I'm going to repair the book for Zidu right away, and make a kit for breaking the city, and ask the general to find someone reliable to deliver the letter." Fazheng nodded affirmatively.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, Song Chen inquired about intelligence and opened Yangping Pass, which left a deep impression on Fazheng, so he thought that the soldiers under Lantian should be stronger than the followers brought by Yizhou.

Lan Tian didn't refuse after listening, he patted his chest and replied: "Don't worry, military commander, there are many reliable people in Guangzhou City."

In order to keep Song Chen's identity from being exposed, Lan Tian wanted to call him after dark, but Fazheng's letter was quickly written in the state pastoral mansion.

It was not too late for Meng Da to send troops. After the celebration banquet was over, Lan Tian asked Gao Shun to secretly find Song Chen.

After Song Chen operated for a period of time, he took the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce as the center and continued to spread from Guangzhou City to the surrounding areas, forming a very complete intelligence network.

After receiving the summoning order from Lantian, Song Chen put on a disguise and finally appeared at the back gate of the state capital with two baskets of vegetables.

Seeing Song Chen's attire, Lan Tian covered his mouth and almost screamed out of laughter. If the basket was replaced with cooking cakes, it would be a cake seller from Qinghe County.

5Chapter 16 Mount Tai remains unchanged before the collapse

"You are very good at disguising now." Lan Tian couldn't help but praise.

Song Chen scratched his head and smiled, "It's all these years of experience, it will be much more convenient to do things."

"That's right, the core staff all know how to disguise." Lan Tian nodded affirmatively, and then asked, "Has there been any new news from Hu Ke?"

Song Chen shook his head and replied, "Not yet. I have already sent people to investigate. Jianye's frequent departures from the port for grain transport have occupied the space for merchant ships to enter and exit. It should be available after a while."

Lan Tian asked, "The grain ship is going to Ruxu?"

Song Chen nodded lightly: "Yes."

Lan Tian listened with a solemn expression, and continued to ask: "Notify me as soon as there is any news, and how is the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce recently? Is there any news about the rats in the city?"

"The mice have been very active recently, but the things we can touch are what we want to show them, but there are two new things that I want to report to you." Song Chen followed Lan Tian's words and replied.

"what's the situation?"

"They recently gave up buying furniture, fruits and other products, and instead hoarded a lot of rice and grain to transport away, but I have already informed Panyu Ling Yaoqi that the grain ship was temporarily trapped in Panyu on the grounds that those ships were faulty. In the harbor, those rats are moving around, if there is no special reason, I'm afraid County Magistrate Yao won't last long." Song Chen answered truthfully.

Lan Tian was very satisfied with Song Chen's behavior, and he immediately gave a reason: "It's hard to find a special reason? Didn't Jianye Port restrict the entry and exit of merchant ships? We can borrow it, and Jiaozhou also needs to transport grain to support General Guan's fight." Fancheng, when the war is won and when will it be released.

In addition, local merchants were notified to prohibit large-scale grain trading. This is a strategic material similar to weapons. Jiangdong can buy agate, ivory, fruit, tables, chairs and benches from us, but weapons, grain, and ore are not acceptable. "

"I understand. All resources related to war will not be sold. It's just that the purchase price given by these mice is too high. It's hard for shopkeepers to resist the temptation, so they simply caught these mice..." Song Chen looked helpless.

Lan Tian sneered: "The grain bought at a high price by the rats will be confiscated in the public warehouse in the end, but now is not the time to collect the net to catch the rats, do you have any questions?"

"It's still related to these rats. During this period of time, in addition to buying food, they also went to the fields and countryside, and recruited some lazy people from the countryside under the guise of hiring followers at high prices. Do you want to intervene?" Song Chen continued.

"Wait a little longer, they haven't violated the law after all, but they can't let down their vigilance, and report the situation immediately." Lan Tian listened to his heart and said, good guy, isn't this the business of the smugglers of later generations?Jiang Dong's detailed work is really clever.

"Wei." Song Chen cupped his fists.

"In addition to the internal affairs of Jiaozhou, it is necessary to select capable personnel to travel to and from Jingzhou, and pay special attention to the situation of the police and Jiangling." Lan Tian continued to order.

Song Chen nodded, "I can save it. General Guan sent troops to Fancheng. Mister is worried about Jiangdong."

Lan Tian snorted coldly: "Don't look at the calm on the surface, but those mice represent the real Jiangdong, and there is no good fart behind their backs."

Song Chen has traveled all over the years, living in the turbulent waves, and he is used to those intrigues. There are no pure friends in the world, only inexhaustible benefits. To be able to work with a high-quality monarch like Liu Bei and a forward-thinking boss like Lan Tian is already. It is luck in troubled times.

Sha Moke was ordered to go to Longchuan to suppress the rebellion. Everyone thought that the process was not only smooth, but also that it would not take too long, but after more than ten days, there was no success.

Lan Tian was worried and sent scouts to investigate. It turned out that the Yue people who broke into Longchuan were very cunning, and they didn't face the barbarians of Shamoko at all. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the Yue people scattered and fled into the mountains. Once the officers and soldiers withdrew, they were like hyenas. come out.

After being provoked a few times, Shamoke was about to lead troops into the mountains to conquer, but was finally stopped by Tan Dingzhou's persuasion, and stationed Wuxi barbarians on the banks of the Longchuan River, passively confronting the Yue people.

When the news of Longchuan came back to Guangzhou, not only Lantian, Jiang Wan and others were shocked, but even the guest Zhang Fei couldn't help but make fun of him: "Ziyu, you learned the art of war in the martial arts hall, didn't you learn it from the Yue people?"

"It's absolutely impossible. Mister's wisdom is comparable to those of Shanyue people?" Gao Shun hurriedly turned back.

Lan Tian frowned: "Everyone has unique wisdom. There should be some extremely intelligent people among the Shanyue people, but the actions of these Yue people are unusual. Fortunately, General Sha didn't go into the mountain to pester him."

A local rebellion was not a major event in that era. As a guest, Fazheng should not have interfered, but Lan Tian owed him a life-saving grace, so he reminded him: "General Lan, Yide has a lot of experience in Wudu, so don't let him Take a hard walk?"

"Uh... It's not impossible." Zhang Feixin said that I was a guest, and I went to work in the mountains before my butt was hot?

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it after understanding the matter clearly." Lan Tian waved his hand lightly.

After all, Lan Tian was Jiaozhou Shepherd and General Empress, Fazheng stopped trying to persuade him when he said this, and just as everyone in the hall was whispering, Lan Yuan rushed in anxiously.

"Father, Guiyang..."

Lan Yuan seemed very impatient when he was walking, Lan Tian quickly stopped him and said: "For the sake of generals, you must calm down. Only when Mount Tai collapses in front of you and your face does not change, can you take on important responsibilities. What's the point of being so eager? Something is wrong. You speak slowly."

"Prefect Xi sent people to ask for instructions. Wang Jin, the bandit who is entrenched in Guiyang and Zhenyang counties, gathered together to make a riot. Because the number of bandits was three to 4000, he wanted to transfer the garrisons in You County and Chaling back to fight the rebellion. I don't know who his father is. Meaning." Lan Yuan replied.

Before Lan Tian could answer, Zhang Fei began to talk to himself: "Are there any bandits in these two places again? When my eldest brother was stationed in Chen County, I and Zhuge's army division once conquered them. I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be a resurgence."

"Sir, something is wrong..."

While Lan Tian was still thinking about it, another daredevil Gao Yuan also broke in.

"What's the matter?" Lan Tian frowned.

Gao Yuan looked at the people around him in bewilderment. He raised his head and replied, "There are rumors in Lingling that Liu Zhang colluded with Cao Cao in order to rebel. Prefect Hao sent someone to ask whether he should be arrested and interrogated."

When Zhang Fei heard that Liu Zhang was plotting rebellion, he jumped up against the case and shouted, "My elder brother is not mean to him, how dare this fellow rebel? Ziyu, I will deal with him for you."

At this time, it was the frost of the 24 solar terms, and the sun in the sky of Jiaozhou was no longer so fierce. Lantian called everyone together to taste sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The two news were like stones thrown into a pond, directly disrupting the tranquility of autumn.

The news of Xi Zhen and Hao Pu seemed to be an appointment. Liu Zhang's rebellion and Wang Jin's rebellion were two unrelated things getting together. When contacting the Yue people in Longchuan County, Lan Tian instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy.

"Ziyu, I didn't expect you to be in such a mess under your rule." Seeing that Lan Tian ignored him, Zhang Fei laughed and joked with everyone.

"Everyone, I'll drink the sweet-scented osmanthus brew later, please move to the combat hall." After speaking, Lan Tian stood up without any expression on his face.

5Chapter 17 Zhang Fei swears in a hurry

Seeing that Lan Tian's expression was not right, Zhang Fei secretly pulled Fazheng's skirt and asked, "Military Master, did I say something wrong?"

"Uh... then it shouldn't be, maybe General Lan has some troubles." Fazheng comforted in a low voice.

Zhang Fei and Fazheng were puzzled, and they followed Lantian through the apse through the corridor, then around the courtyard in the middle, and came to a building without windows and plaques, which was the war room that Lantian was talking about.

Seeing the elite soldiers guarding the battle room, Zhang Fei walked up to Pound curiously and asked, "Lingming, is Ziyu hiding any treasure here? It's so mysterious."

Pound shook his head and replied: "It's ashamed to say that the general has been in Jiaozhou for so long, and he hasn't had a chance to enter the war room. Only General Gao often goes in and out of here."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei became even more curious. In fact, apart from Gao Shun, there were also a few people like Song Chen and Jiang Wan who went in.

Because the war room has no windows, there are several vents on the top of the four walls, so everyone waited at the door for a while, and the guards entered the room and lit candles to guide everyone in.

On the north side of the war room is a map of the entire Han Dynasty, and on the east and west sides are maps of the forces of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In the middle of the house is a huge sand table, on which is an abbreviated map of Jingzhou. It took two years to complete according to the real terrain.

The large sand table in Jingzhou in the middle is the direction of the war deduced by Lan Tian based on his own understanding of the historical memory and the current situation of the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun.

"It's so well hidden, it's just a sand table..." Zhang Fei grumbled.

"Third General, take a closer look." Fazheng pointed to the sand table and reminded.

Zhang Fei inspected the sand table again and found that the locations of Xiangyang and Fancheng had been replaced by models with models, marking all the places in the north where Cao Cao might send reinforcements, and emphatically marking the important food roads.

In addition, there are many models in Jiangling, Gongan, Dongting, and Jiangxia in the central part, relying on the Yangtze River line, and the southernmost part is centered on Luling, radiating to Youxian, Chaling, Qujiang, Longchuan and other counties.

"Isn't this Hefei? The defenders there will also go to rescue Fancheng? Don't they need to guard against Jiangdong's attack?" Zhang Fei asked curiously.

Lan Tian's tone seemed very flat, "With Sun Quan as a man, what can't be done? Besides war games, we must consider all possibilities."

"Ah, yes, yes, I heard you say it in the martial arts lecture hall before, but I almost forgot." Zhang Fei scratched his head and replied.

"General Lan, what are you doing today..." Fazheng asked curiously.

Lan Tian was about to answer when the door of the war room opened suddenly, and everyone was surprised who it was. It turned out to be Song Chen in the 'cake selling costume'. He was another frequent visitor to the war room besides Gao Shun.

"What's the matter?" Lan Tian asked with a frown.

"A matter of urgency." Song Chen said concisely, with a serious expression on his face.

The shorter the words, the bigger the matter, Lan Tian took the initiative to walk over.

Song Chen clasped his fists to salute everyone, and then whispered in his ear: "Jiangdong's news has been sent back, Jianye's supply ship suddenly diverted to Chaisang, so it is inferred that Jiangdong's main force has been transferred from Ruxu, but due to Jianye's wharf Restricting the entry and exit of merchant ships, the news was delayed by at least 20 days, and now they don't know where they are."

Zhang Fei and Fazheng turned their heads to look at each other, thinking that Song Chen's outfit was quite strange, and he must be talking about some kind of information.

Zhang Fei was about to ask something when he saw Lan Tian waving his hand to stop him, and then continued to ask Song Chen: "There should be other news, right?"

"Panyu Port has not entered Jiangdong merchant ships for many days, so I sent people to investigate in the direction of Jiangxia, but they were driven back by Jiangdong patrol boats shortly after entering Dongting. The boat..." Song Chen swallowed.

"Why did Bi Yaner put so many warships in Lukou? Does he want to rehearse the Battle of Chibi?" Zhang Fei sneered.

Lan Tianxin said that Sun Quan's evil intentions were indeed not dead, and he quickly told Lan Yuan beside him: "Immediately call the military officers above General Zhonglang to the war room, I have important combat mission arrangements."

"Wei." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and turned to leave.

"Jingzhou is now empty, and Sun Quan has assembled a large army in Lukou. Isn't he going to betray the alliance again? Although this suspicion is huge, it cannot be ruled out that he is going to help General Guan fight against Fancheng. General Lan, you should think twice."

Guan Yu had a lot of troops in Fancheng, and Fazheng didn't know the strength of Sun Quan's backstab at all, so he was worried that Lantian's dispatch of troops would stimulate the opponent, which would easily give Jiang Dong an excuse. After all, with Liu Bei's current strength, he could not face both Sun Quan and Cao at the same time.

"Military commanders can rest assured that I will be responsible for any problems. This is definitely Jiangdong's sneak attack against the alliance." After speaking domineeringly, Lantian continued to explain: "Shanyue in Longchuan, bandits in Guiyang rebelled, and rumors of Liu Zhang's rebellion in Lingling are very serious. It is obvious that someone deliberately instigated it, just to keep the Jiaozhou soldiers from moving forward, so that we cannot support Jingzhou in time."

"Then what are you waiting for? Ziyu dispatches troops quickly, or the second brother will be attacked." Zhang Fei urged.

Lan Tian picked up the long pole beside the sand table, pointed at Hanshui and Dongting Lake respectively and analyzed: "If I were Sun Quan and wanted to restrain General Guan from attacking Jingzhou, I must first cut off the Hanshui's grain channel, and then occupy the Dongting water mouth and let Jingzhou Supplies from South and Jiaozhou cannot reach the front line, as long as these two checkpoints are stuck, the front line may be in danger of running out of food."

"The Han River can't take care of it. The Jiangdong navy is the best in the world. If they are really allowed to block the mouth of Dongting and blockade the entire Yangtze River, wouldn't the north of the Yangtze River be in danger?" Fazheng looked at the sand table with a serious look on his face. expression.

"Don't worry too much, military commander. Gan Xingba is right beside Yunchang. Sun Quan wants to cut off the Han River completely. I don't think it will be that easy. Now deal with the invading enemies in Dongting first, and swim to the other side of the Yangtze River." Lan Tian He clenched his fist.

"Sir, give the order." Gao Shun reminded.

Lan Tian nodded, and then told Gao Shun: "Don't wait for the others, Boping, go and assemble the army quickly. When General Li Yi comes over in a while, I will ask him to arrange enough transport ships. After the formation of the enemy army is assembled, immediately Let's go, and send people to Guiyang and Lingling first, and take away all the reserve soldiers on both sides."

"Do you want to recall General Sha? His Wuxi barbarians are much more powerful, and the recruits from Guiyang and Lingling have never been on the battlefield." Gao Shun suggested.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Let the soldiers lead the battle, and they will soon become veterans. Besides, these soldiers are prepared for General Guan. After General Sha finishes handling Longchuan's affairs, let Xu Shuang take over the reserve soldiers in Guiyang. Finally, we will meet again in Changsha."

"Wei." Gao Shun nodded.

"Ling Ming." Lan Tian looked at Pang De to arrange.

"The end is here." Pound walked forward with his fists clasped.

"You lead the [-] cavalry from your headquarters to Weipu Pass with Chu Qing's reconnaissance battalion, and from Guiyang to Changsha by land. You have to travel day and night to ensure that Linxiang is not lost." Lan Tian continued to order.

"Wei." Pound nodded.

After arranging the two troops, Lan Tian confessed to Jiang Wan: "Gong Yan, I'll leave it to you to dispatch the logistics supplies. Make sure there are no problems. When I'm not in Guangzhou, you will also be the agent of government affairs."
