Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Thinking of the experience of the past month, Lu Meng felt that he was being manipulated by an invisible hand. Why didn't his seamless scheme work?At this time, he couldn't control why Jiang Qin was defeated.

Lü Meng planned to return to the Jiangling camp to attack the city immediately. He only needed to leave a small amount of water troops to contain Gan Ning, and then turned around to deal with him after the city was broken.

Multi-line control of the army to fight, the previous two governors didn't have this ability, right?

The setting sun slanted on Lu Meng's oily face, and he smiled proudly thinking that he was so 'excellent'.

Suddenly there were cavalry galloping ahead. Lu Meng guessed what was going on in Jiangling, so he ordered the main ship to move towards the shore.

The scouts were stationed on the bank of the horse and shouted to Jiang Xin: "Governor, something is wrong. General Sun retreated to Jiangling, and the warships of the public security are chasing us."

Lu Meng's head shook when he heard this, and he almost fell off the boat. He suppressed his panic and asked, "Please explain clearly, why did General Sun Jiao lose?"

"It is said that Su Fei and the reinforcements are attacking from inside and outside, and General Sun can't resist it and can only retreat. The Gu Supervisor asked the governor to lead the warship back to help." The scout replied panting.

Lu Meng was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. Sun Jiao was flanked by people in front of the police, the Yangtze River waterway had been opened up, and the Dongting water mouth guarded by Lu Xun had a high probability of falling, and the reinforcements from Jingnan and Jiaozhou could only appear.

Is Lantian too strong, or is Lu Xun too weak to give his own advice?Lu Meng was frantically thinking about retreating.

"Great Governor, what should we do?" the general beside him asked in a panic.

Lu Meng frowned, and said sharply: "Order all the ships to advance at full speed, and meet General Sun and Gu Jianjun first."

"Wei." General Pi went to deliver the order immediately.

After Lu Meng gave the order, he told the scouts to return to the camp to inform Gu Li that they were ready to set up camp at any time, while he went back to the cabin to analyze the map of Jingzhou.

When the sky was gray and almost completely dark, Lu Meng's fleet arrived in the southeast of Jiangling, and Gu Li and several generals were already waiting at the pier.

"It's good that the governor is back, it's really a close call now." Gu Li looked at the warship and sighed.

Lu Meng asked suspiciously: "Didn't General Sun retreat to Jiangling? Why didn't you see his fleet? The Yangtze River is so wide and vast, it's impossible for Su Fei to stop them all?"

"General Sun just went westward against the Yangtze River. I don't know why he didn't stop at Jiangling. Maybe he has some plans..." Gu Li sighed after finishing speaking, thinking that he is the lord's cousin, how can I, the supervisor, order Got it?

"mix……"

Just as Lu Meng was about to get angry, he suddenly saw a "Fire Dragon" appearing in the south. It was obvious that the army was marching at night with torches. From the light of the fire, there were countless soldiers.

"Order all the ships to turn west and enter the Yangtze River immediately, and let's catch up with General Sun Jiao's fleet." Lu Meng turned around and no longer looked at Gu Li.

Gu Li was dumbfounded, thinking what is the governor doing?By the time he reacted, the hundreds of warships had drifted away from him.

"I haven't boarded the boat yet, Chief Commander, we haven't boarded the boat yet." Gu Li shouted while running along the river, but the people on the boat seemed to be collectively deaf, and Lu Meng even hid in the cabin.

"How could this be?" Gu Li ran for a while and slumped on the ground.

"Gu Supervisor, look over there." The accompanying guard pointed to the other side of the river to remind him.

Having been blocked by the fleet just now, Gu Li stood up and found countless torches. He finally understood why Lu Meng had to run away.

"Selfish waste, do they want to enter Sichuan?" Gu Li stepped on the dirt.

"What do we do now?" the guard asked in panic.

Lu Meng left Guli with only 3000 men, who might not even be able to stop the defenders of Jiangling City. He thought about it carefully and said: "We will return to the camp immediately, and the commander has already escaped. How can we continue this battle? We have to think about it." Way to withdraw to Jiangxia."

"Marching at night?" the guard asked.

"The thieves are estimated to be able to cross the river soon. We can only take the risk of setting off overnight. Remember not to use torches to expose them. After a while, everyone will hold on to the rope and walk slowly. Anyway, hurry up now." Gu Li urged.

"Wei." The guard clasped his fists and nodded.

Jiangling City was quiet at night. It hadn't been attacked by the Jiangdong Army in the past few days, and the guards were not used to it. Xiang Xun still arranged soldiers to be on duty at night.

The number of soldiers and soldiers defending the city continued to increase, and the military supplies were also in short supply. It has reached the point of demolishing houses and taking stones. Many wealthy people and officials in the city have secretly packed up gold and silver in the past few days, hoping to escape from the city when the defense is relaxed. .

Lan Ji and Guan Xing are taking advantage of this gap to patrol the city with the juvenile battalion, intimidating those Xiaoxiao who are ready to move. He has been influenced by Lan Tian's thoughts since he was a child, and he doesn't think that he must stick to one city and one place. Again, but Gangneung isn't that bad.

After Lan Ji finished his patrol and returned to the West Tower, Xiang Xun suddenly sent someone to report the military situation, saying that the fire outside the south gate of Jiangling was blazing, and it must be that Sun Quan sent more troops to Lu Meng, so he should be more vigilant and not slack off.

Not long after, Guan Xing also rushed over, "Zhongling, have you heard? Lu Meng has more reinforcements, maybe there will be night battles."

"Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, you go to the side to sleep for a while, I can't stand it in the middle of the night, how about you come and replace me?" Lan Ji suggested.

Guan Xing sat down against the pillar next to him, and then smiled and replied: "You are the commander of the army, I can only obey orders, but don't stay asleep for a while."

"I can save it." Lan Ji shook his head.

Guan Xing closed his eyes and soon fell asleep, when he suddenly heard rustling in his ears, he opened his eyes and found that Lan Ji was wearing armor.

"What happened?" Guan Xing immediately stood up.

Lan Ji's expression was very serious, and he replied with a frown: "Just now, the South City Gate made an urgent call to inform the general that the troops had entered the city."

"What? Xiang Xun didn't defend?" Guan Xing was taken aback.

Lan Ji looked serious: "An Guo, you rush home immediately and organize your family to escape from the north gate. I will take the young soldiers and the captive soldiers to block it for a while."

"How can I do that?" Guan Xing's eyes opened like copper bells.

"An Guo, obey the order." Lan Ji's tone was firm, and Guan Xing could not refuse.

Guan Xing nodded, "Okay, Zhongling, you must be careful, if you can't stop it, don't force it."

"Don't worry, I have a fast horse to help." Lan Ji patted Guan Xing on the shoulder.

Guan Xing went down the city and rode straight to the State Shepherd's Mansion, while Lan Ji assembled nearly 2000 people in the shortest time possible, and then ran across the streets and alleys in a mighty direction to the south of the city. The people fled in panic.

The sky in the south of Jiangling City was as bright as day, and a group of soldiers marched forward surrounded by several generals.

"Evil thief, take your life." Lan Ji straightened his horse and straightened his halberd, and went straight to the opponent's general.

"Sir, be careful." The visitor forcefully pushed away Lan Ji's long halberd, and then his mouth formed an O shape: "Zhongling, are you up to it?"

"Uncle Gao?" Lan Ji also saw who was coming at this time. Next to Gao Shun was his father Lan Tian. Lan Ji hurriedly got off his horse and cupped his fists to plead guilty: "Father, are you here?"

Lan Tian looked Lan Ji up and down, nodded affirmatively: "This outfit is not bad, I heard from the captain about your performance, let's go to the government office to talk."

"Oh good, my son is here to guide you." Lan Ji was overjoyed to see his father, and thought to himself that you, Jiangdong rats, are finished.

Chapter 577 A Young Man Has His Own Maniac

Lan Ji's weapon was given by Gao Shun, and the cloak and mount were given by Guan Yu. Seeing his son's glamorous appearance, Lan Tian faintly felt that he had neglected his duty.

"Sir, Zhongling's ability to kill Han Dang in more than ten rounds is already a remarkable existence." Gao Shun happily communicated with Lantian.

Lan Tian nodded lightly, "Han Nian is an old man, the so-called boxing is afraid of the young and strong, it is also a good thing for him, because he is afraid that this child does not know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Young people have their own youthful madness. What are you calling young people without aggressiveness?" Gao Shun comforted him with a smile.

Lan Tian smiled wryly and sighed: "The children grow up so quickly, I may not be able to control them soon..."

"How come? Boyang and Zhongling are very sensible, and I don't know how Boyang is doing in Guangzhou. We have been away for more than a month." Gao Shun frowned.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Boyang, I am very relieved. This child may not be as good at martial arts as Zhongling, but he is more calm and calm, and he can entrust big things to him in the future."

Gao Shun nodded, "Mr. is naturally very accurate in judging people. There are only a few hawkers left in Guangzhou City. With the help of Lu Tie, Song Chen and others in Boyang, the situation should be stable. It's a pity that General Sha was trapped in Longchuan. This good opportunity cannot be used for meritorious service.”

"You can't say that, don't you know that both Dongting and Jiangxia have legends about Shamoko?" Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"That's not Yide...Mr.'s thinking is like a wild horse..." Gao Shun was startled for a moment, and then soon smiled.

Most of the fallen troops were stationed outside Jiangling City, and only a thousand people followed Lantian into the city to maintain law and order.

Because Guan Yu was not in the city at this time, Lantian could not occupy the magpie's nest and settle in the state pastoral mansion. Finally, he came to the Jiangling prefect's mansion to be promoted to discuss matters.

The prefect of Jiangling was concurrently held by Pan Jun. He was criticized in history for relying on Sun Quan, but he was well-read in poetry and books, and his ability was comparable to that of his cousin Jiang Wan.

Lan Tian originally wanted to suggest that Liu Bei take him to Shu, but this person was attached to his hometown of Jingzhou, and entrusted Jiang Wan's relationship to plead with Lan Tian. Finally, Liu Bei went to Shu and left him to work in the administration, assisting Guan Yu and Xu Shu in handling Jingzhou affairs.

Considering that Pan Jun has "convicted records" in history, Lan Tian euphemistically asks Xu Shu to take precautions against him and strictly prohibits Pan Jun from holding military power.

When Lantian entered the prefect's mansion, Pan Jun immediately gave up the main hall of the mansion, and stood aside obediently waiting for orders. Facing the person who could call the wind and rain, Pan Jun showed due respect.

"Lv Meng attacked Jingzhou, Chengming has worked hard these days." Lan Tian took the lead in comforting him.

Pan Jun clasped his hands and replied: "General Lan's praise, I'm ashamed to say this. It's a great contribution to the general to be able to defend Jiangling at this time. We civil servants are actually of no help."

"Everyone has a different division of labor, and each of them just performs their own duties. They also contributed a lot to appease the people. If Cheng Ming really wants to lead the army, why not go to Jiaozhou with Gong Yan (Jiang Wan)?" Lan Tian said intentionally.

Pan Jun didn't know why Lantian had prejudices against him. Although he was cautious with Guan Yu in Jingzhou, he was easy to deal with with Guan Yu's bright personality. He didn't know what he would be like when he arrived in Jiaozhou, and he didn't like that wild place.

"Thank you, General, for your love. Jun is already unable to do what he wants to do in Jingzhou, so it's better not to cause trouble for Jiaozhou." Pan Jun hastily declined.

Although Lan Tian showed kindness and fists, but it was just a verbal polite remark. Seeing that Pan Jun rejected him, he changed the subject and then ordered: "Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi are not here, so I have to presume to give orders for them. Jiangdong's sneak attack is over. After being found out, Gong Chengming called all the principals of the yamen in Jiangling to let the people resume production and life as soon as possible."

Pan Jun complimented: "The general never forgets the people's livelihood. It is really admirable. Jiangdong is coming in a menacing way. Fortunately, you came to support from Jiaozhou. There are troops stationed in Jiangling. Lu Meng would not dare to stroke the tiger's beard."

Lan Tian shook his head hastily, "The rats in Jiangdong haven't been cleaned up yet, and the entrapment army will only rest here for a while, but the crisis in Jiangling City should be resolved. General Xiang has performed outstandingly in the defense of the city. You must continue to shoulder the heavy burden of city defense. I will ask Yunchang for your credit."

"Thank you, General, for your support." Xiang Xun clasped his fists excitedly.

"The humble one will go to work first." Pan Jun bowed his hands and left the hall, and summoned the officials according to Lan Tian's request.

Lv Meng took his warship to the west of the Yangtze River, and Lan Tian asked Gao Shun to take out the map. In order to teach Sun Quan a profound lesson, he planned to keep all these Jiangdong soldiers.

Lan Tian and Gao Shun discussed the battle map, and Pan Jun brought a group of Jingzhou officials to visit. Lan Tian gave a passionate speech to these people. The rest of the matter will be dealt with slowly when Xu Shu comes back.

Everyone followed Pan Jun and nodded frequently. When they left the government office, everyone was full of confidence. Some of them had already packed their bags, and kept the gold, silver and land deeds properly after returning home. thing.

After appeasing the Jingzhou officials, it was already late at night. Lantian refused Pan Jun's accommodation in the prefect's mansion. He chose to go back to the camp outside the city with Gao Shun to rest. The defenders of Jiangling City could finally sleep peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, both Lan Tian and Gao Shun woke up very early, they were all waiting for news from the reconnaissance battalion.

When we arrived last night, it was already late. I only heard that Lu Meng and the fleet fled to the Yangtze River. This mysterious operation made neither of them understand. If Lu Meng really wanted to escape back to Jiangdong, he should turn the bow of the boat from Yangshui to Hanshui. With Lu Meng's current strength and number of warships, Gan Ning couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

When Lan Tian was playing Wu Qin Xi, Gao Shun walked over from outside the camp with a smile.

"Boping, is there any news about Chu Qing's return?" Lan Tian asked loudly through the tent.

Gao Shun replied loudly: "It's Zhongling who is here."

Lan Tian stopped what he was doing and saw Lan Ji appearing with a young man, who was Guan Xing, Guan Yu's second son.

"Father."

"uncle."

Last night, Lan Ji asked Guan Xing to go home first, arranged for his family members to pack their bags and was about to leave, but was told that Lan Tian had brought reinforcements. He wanted to go to visit last night, but Lan Tian kept talking to the officials, and then hurried out of the city to rest.

"It turns out that Anguo is here. I heard that you performed well in the battle of defending the city. It really is a tiger father without dogs." Lan Tian said kindly.

Guan Xing scratched his head and replied, "I'm nothing, but Zhongling is more powerful."

"Father, Anguo has very good sword skills." Lan Ji quickly added.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "You don't need to flatter each other, there is one word you remember, people's eyes are discerning."

"I can save it." Guan Xing nodded.

The two children couldn't hide their troubles, and Lan Tian noticed their subtle expressions, so he followed up and said, "What else do you want?"

Guan Xing was evasive and didn't answer, Lan Ji forced himself to smile and asked, "Father, you studied the map with Uncle Gao last night, are you going to chase Lu Meng? Let us join the army, too?"

Before Lan Tian could answer, Chu Qing shouted while running outside the gate, "Sir, we have found the whereabouts of Lu Meng's ship."

Chapter 578 The Three Giants Gathered in Jiangling

"Point out the income on the map." Lan Tian led everyone back to the main account.

Last night, I heard that Lu Meng's ship entered the Yangtze River to go west. Lan Tian thought it was incredible. To the west of Jiangling was Yiling, an important town in Jingzhou, and to the west was the Three Gorges to enter the boundary of Yizhou. Was Lu Meng going to attack Yiling or enter Sichuan?

In history, there are many cases of attacking from Yizhou to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but there is no attack on Yizhou from Jingzhou waterway, because the terrain of the Three Gorges is quite dangerous. Among them, Qutang Gorge (Kuimen) is as famous as Jianmen Pass. The world is dangerous, and Kuimen is known as the hero of the world'.

Anyone with a little military knowledge would never be so stupid as to attack Sichuan by water, and Lu Meng's character would not surrender in Shu, and the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were severely damaged, and he was simply unable to attack another fortified city.

Because Lan Tian didn't understand Lu Meng's intentions, he sent scouts overnight to track him down.

Chu Qing pointed to a river fifty or sixty miles away to the west of Jiangling City and said, "My people discovered that Lu Meng's fleet left the Yangtze River this morning and went northward from this river. Look, sir..."

"Juzhang River? Isn't this a dead end? What's on Lu Meng's mind?" Gao Shun exclaimed beside him.

Jushui and Zhangshui originate in Xincheng County (one of the three counties in the Middle East of the Han Dynasty, and the government office Fangling), and merge into the Juzhang River in Zhijiang County from north to south, and finally flow into the Yangtze River in the Jingzhou section.

Lan Tian frowned, "Something's wrong. Could it be that Lu Meng wants to take advantage of the maneuverability of the warship to land in the upper reaches of Jushui or Zhangshui, and then escape back to Jiangdong through Xiangyang? Or he has already arrived at such a field, and he is still thinking about attacking General Guan?"

"Uncle, you have to find a way to help my father. He has lost contact with us for a month, and he doesn't know that Jiangling is besieged and the morale of the army will not be affected." Guan Xing was worried.

Lan Tian nodded and comforted: "An Guo, don't worry, this is all my job."

"Sir, how do you think you should deal with it? According to the information I have received, Lu Meng's army supervisor, Gu Li, brought thousands of remnants last night, and suddenly disappeared in the north of Jiangling city. I really don't understand how the Jiangdong people use their troops." Gao Shun asked .

Lan Tian tapped on the table lightly, and replied solemnly: "Since Lu Meng's motives are unknown, we can only crack them one by one. Chu Sima immediately released all the scouts and focused on monitoring the Juzhang River fleet. I want to know what exactly they are. Where to log in."
