Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Fazheng's eyes widened, thinking that Sun Quan was so naive?

Chapter 626 Zhang Yide's Delicate Mind

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei and Lan Tian set off for Xiangyang by boat.

Thinking of reuniting with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei soon, the cold wind blows across the bow of the boat from time to time, but Liu Bei is proud of his horseshoe, and his face is full of glory, waiting for the brothers to reunite.

In winter, the river is slow, and the boat sails very smoothly. It took several days to reach Xiangyang.

Liu Bei remembered that the last time he came here was when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, but thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime away.

Guan Yu greeted him at the pier with a group of civil and military personnel. As soon as Liu Bei got off the boat, he saw two familiar figures, and Zhang Fei ran excitedly pulling Guan Yu.

"Big brother..."

"Second brother, third brother..."

Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei and bowed to Liu Bei on one knee. At this moment, they forgot that the person in front of them was the King of Hanzhong, as if they were still in that peach garden.

Liu Bei half-squatted and helped the two of them up. The burning brotherhood made the generals puzzled. Lan Tian, ​​who was standing behind, looked up at him, and no one noticed that the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

The Taoyuan Sanjie held hands and just looked at each other for a while. Although they didn't say a word during the process, they seemed to have said a lot, because the expressions on the faces of Guan Yu and Liu Bei changed from joy to relief.

"Ziyu, let's go into the city." Liu Bei finished talking with the two brothers, not forgetting Lan Tian standing behind him.

"Okay." Lan Tian stepped forward.

Zhang Fei still showed his big white teeth, and walked over to grab Lan Tian's hand: "Ziyu, I'm here to guide you..."

"Third brother, Ziyu came to Xiangyang with you last time." Guan Yu reminded with a frown.

"Really? I forgot..." Zhang Fei let go of his hand again, scratching his head as if confused.

Liu Bei was very pleased to see the harmony between the brothers, and smiled to relieve Zhang Fei: "Let's go together, I haven't been to Xiangyang for more than ten years, and I have to pay homage to Brother Jing Sheng tomorrow..."

Liu Bei called Lan Tian to his side. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked forward side by side, one on the left and one on the right. More than 20 major generals including Meng Da, Pang De, Gao Shun, and Guan Ping, stood neatly by the roadside and waited.

"Your Majesty..."

"General Blue..."

"gentlemen……"

……

Lan Tian followed behind Liu Bei, kept clasping his fists and nodding in return to everyone, then changed horses and galloped into Xiangyang.

Liu Bei once stayed in Xiangyang for several months, and the people in the city knew his name of benevolence. The news that the King of Hanzhong came to Xiangyang in person spread like wildfire, and the people supported the old and the young to welcome the new lord.

Guan Ping led the army to open the way ahead, and the white scorpion soldiers escorted Liu Bei through the streets and alleys, and finally reached the prefect's mansion with difficulty.

Liu Bei enters the hall and sits facing south, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the right, Lan Tian and Xu Shu on the left, and the rest will be seated in strict order according to their official positions.

During the greetings with everyone, Xu Shu reported to Liu Bei the information he had sorted out. Cao Cao brought an army of [-] and came here in high spirits. Reluctantly chose to withdraw to Wancheng, and Fancheng and Deng County were completely controlled by Guan Yu.

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively, "During the negotiation with Ziyu in Jiangxia, I knew that my second brother had defeated Cao Cao, but I didn't expect them to suffer so much damage. Who will Cao Cao leave to guard Nanyang?"

"The soldiers and horses stationed in Wancheng will be controlled temporarily by Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the east, and Cao Ren, the general who conquered the south, accompanied Cao Cao back to Yecheng. It seems that Cao Cao has suffered from the wind and cold these days..." Xu Shu replied.

"Cao Mengde is six years older than me. He is sixty-five this year, right? He has suffered a cold at this age, and he may need to recuperate for a long time." Liu Bei frowned.

Lan Tian thought that according to history, Boss Cao didn't have many days to live, but he didn't know if there was any change. He sighed and said: "Cao Cao's military life is very hard work, and every time there is a war, he has to do it himself. How can such hard work last forever?" ?”

"What does Ziyu want to say?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"Uh... I didn't sleep last night. I went to watch the stars on the boat. Cao Cao's life star is dim, and he may not have many days..." Lan Tian said under the guise of astrology.

Zhang Fei on the opposite side immediately jumped up, "Then what are you waiting for? Bandit Cao is about to die, second brother, let's send troops directly to capture Xu Du."

Guan Yu shook his head and replied: "Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have just gone through a great battle, and the soldiers are all exhausted. Besides, our troops are not enough now. Xudu is already in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the cities are densely populated. If the battle line is extended, we must win quickly, otherwise the supply of food and grass will be unsustainable. .”

"Jingzhou doesn't have much food left now," Xu Shu reminded.

"Ah? So Thief Cao died for nothing?" Zhang Fei showed a disappointed expression.

"Ahem, Zhang Wenyuan is not someone to wait for nothing, anyway, now is not the time to send troops." Guan Yu replied affirmatively.

Seeing this, Liu Bei frowned: "Ziyu's predictions have always been accurate. If Cao Cao's death is really an opportunity, will there be turmoil in Wei due to his succession?"

Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "Since Cao Cao ordered Cao Pi, there is little possibility of internal chaos in Wei. Cao Cao transferred Cao Ren back to Yecheng, and he should go back to control the situation, but the change of old and new will definitely bring opportunities. The control of the army has weakened, so the Wudu stationed by Yide should have a chance."

"Haha, then I have developed." Zhang Fei was ecstatic.

"Wudu was forced to relocate by Cao Cao after the Hanzhong War. The supplies for the garrison there were transported from Hanzhong. Entering Yongliang supplies is a big problem. Deng Shizai is currently farming in Hanzhong. Kong Ming suggested at least three years of recuperation..." Liu Bei His face showed embarrassment.

"Hey, I'm so happy." Zhang Fei sat down.

Lan Tian smiled: "It is indeed unrealistic to use large-scale troops against Yongliang, but Yide can take advantage of Wei's regime change and make some articles near Liangzhou. How did Zhang Yun go to Badong to rob people before? How come you go to Liangzhou to rob people through Qishan Road, aren't you familiar with guerrilla warfare?"

Zhang Feimeng slapped his thigh, pointed at Lantian and boasted to Liu Bei: "Look, brother, I admire Ziyu the most here. He always finds ways to seize opportunities."

"Yide must remember to harass the officials and not the people. The purpose of the harassing is to take back the people in Wudu and weaken the overall strength of Liangzhou. The king will eventually take over Liangzhou." Lan Tian reminded.

Zhang Fei nodded, turned his head to the right and said, "Forget it, second brother, prepare some boats for me tomorrow, and I'll go directly to Hanzhong by water, so it will be faster to get to Wu."

"Uh..." Guan Yu was surprised.

Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "Third brother, why don't you go back to Chengdu with me first?"

"I won't go back. State affairs are the most important thing." Zhang Fei replied, patting his chest.

Lan Tian suddenly remembered that Zhang Fei's boat carrying seafood was still in Panyu Port, so he couldn't help joking: "Yide, your boat is still docked in Guangzhou, there is no time to load those seafood."

Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand: "Now that the Han River has been connected, Ziyu, prepare your things and transport them directly to Hanzhong. Wei Wenchang will not be greedy for my things."

Zhang Fei seemed rough, but in fact he had a delicate mind, so he would not treat himself badly, so as soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Liu Bei then asked Xu Shu to prepare a banquet, and he wanted to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers in Xiangyang.

Because Xiangyang had already made preparations, the celebration banquet was quickly set up, and everyone in the hall hardly moved their positions, and delicious food and wine were brought in one after another.

Not long after the banquet started, Xu Shu took out the silk and read it out, which was drawn up by Liu Bei and Lan Tian on the boat.

There was no way for Guan Yu to be promoted, and because the Marquis of Hanshouting was conferred by Emperor Xian, Liu Bei could not overstep and add the title for the time being, so he ordered to change Jiameng County to Hanshou County, which became Guan Yu's fief, and increased the food town by [-] households;

Lantian was granted the title of Marquis of Dengxiang; Zhang Fei was given the title of Marquis of Duxiang and moved to Liangzhou Governor;

Gan Ning moved to the General of the East and the Prefect of Jiangxia; Meng Da moved to the General of the South and the Prefect of Nanxiang; Pang De moved to the General of the North;

Promoted Guanping to General Dangkou; promoted Zhou Cang to General Zhechong;

Promote Xiang Xun and Liao Hua to generals; promote Li Yi to generals;

Mi Fang moved to be the prefect of Changsha; Hu Xiu was appointed as the prefect of Wuling;

Fu Fang, the prefect of Nanxiang who died in battle, was named Guanneihou...

Chapter 627 One trick can eat all over the world

Liu Bei originally wanted Lan Tian to be the first, and Guan Yu would definitely be convinced, but Lan Tian refused in the end.

Lan Tian himself does not admire false fame, and Guan Yu's character is arrogant, so he can't give credit to Guan Yu just because he turned things around. That would be unfair to the soldiers who fought bloody battles, and it would also damage Guan Yu's prestige.

Liu Bei's Hanzhong Kingdom has no county lords, and the township lords of Lantian and Zhang Fei are the only two that exist at present, but the food towns of the two township lords are less than a thousand.

Deng Township is located in Linwu County, Guiyang County, which is the Xindeng Village where Xinye moved. Li Yang, the owner of the village, and Lantian are both from Xiaopei. Now it is the richest township in Linwu County. Liu Bei sealed Lantian here for special reasons. significance.

All the generals in the hall have been promoted, and there are also a lot of money rewards, which will be distributed after the Fazheng is divided, so everyone's faces are full of smiles.

Guan Yu pondered for a long time at the banquet, he saw the opportunity and walked to Lan Tian's side, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Everyone can gather here today, thanks to Ziyu's secret planning, I have drunk a lot of wine just now, now Guan has a request, I wonder if Ziyu can agree?"

"Please tell me, Yun Chang." Lan Tian stood up hastily, Guan Yu was so solemn.

Guan Yu's face was red with vicissitudes, and he whispered in Lantian's ear: "It is a foregone conclusion to go out of Xiangyang to the Central Plains, but I have too few capable people under my tent. I wonder if Ziyu can lend me a general?"

Lan Tian was startled when he heard that, and thought to himself that you would borrow Gao Shun, right?

"Second brother, what did you say to Zi Yushen mysteriously?" Zhang Fei walked over with a wine glass.

Guan Yucan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Third brother, aren't you having a wine competition with Ling Ming?"

Seeing this, Liu Bei also walked down from the table, and explained with a smile: "Yide has been ready to move for a long time, I think you all want to talk to Ziyu, why are you so secretive?"

"Uh... Since Yunchang came first, then Yide, you can wait for a while. Yunchang might as well say in front of the lord, who do you want to borrow?" Lan Tian pretended to be calm.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, Fengmu first looked at Zhang Fei, then at Liu Bei, and finally frowned and said: "The further we enter the Central Plains, the more important the cavalry becomes. Among them, Pang Lingming's cavalry is very good, can you lend him to me?"

Lan Tian and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled after hearing this, but Zhang Fei murmured: "Second brother, I wanted to borrow Lingming, and I think he is good. If you want to speak later, I will borrow him to Wudu as a lieutenant general. Zhou also needs a skilled hand, doesn't he?"

"Third brother, don't compete with the second brother, let's see what the elder brother and Ziyu have to say." Guan Yu interrupted Zhang Fei quickly.

Liu Bei laughed loudly: "Second brother forgot Lingming's new official position? That's the result of my discussion with Ziyu."

"General Zhengbei? Brother, you mean..." Guan Yu seemed to understand.

Lan Tian knew it wasn't Gao Shun, so he put his heart in his stomach. He explained under Liu Bei's signal: "The cavalry in the south has limited role. General Pang is considered inferior in Jiaozhou. I suggest putting him in the north on the way. As for the ownership of Yunchang Or Yide, it depends on what brother-in-law thinks."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in unison after listening.

Liu Bei smiled kindly: "I think it's better to put it in Jingzhou. There is Ma Mengqi on Yide's side. He is as familiar with Liangzhou as he is. When the time comes to attack Yongliang with all my strength, I will also bring Yizhou soldiers out of Qinchuan."

"I'm the younger brother, so naturally I can't argue with the second brother. Have you finished talking with Ziyu? I have a private matter to consult alone..." Zhang Fei stared at Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

"Uh..." Liu Bei was taken aback.

Seeing Zhang Fei's seriousness, Liu Bei dragged Guan Yu to the main seat, "Second Brother, let's go to the side to talk."

"Okay." Guan Yu looked back at Zhang Fei with a suspicious red face.

Seeing the two elder brothers walk away, Zhang Fei immediately sat cross-legged in front of the Lantian table, "Ziyu, sit down and talk."

Lan Tian sat down in a daze, and smiled awkwardly at Xu Shu next to him.

"Third General, do I need to avoid it?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

Zhang Fei shook his head fiercely: "There is no need for a military advisor. The last time I lost a bet with Lingming, the main reason was that Ziyu taught him how to drive horses in the camp. Teach me more about such tricks, and you should not begrudge the military advisor."

Lan Tian said in his heart, good guy, is the third master so competitive?He showed a bitter smile to Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, are you teaching Yi De twice?"

"Ahem, is there a fixed method for confronting the enemy in front of the battle? When considering the actual situation, adapting measures to local conditions, and adapting measures to current conditions, the three generals asked me to tell you in advance, why not memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?" Xu Shu shook his head.

Zhang Fei held on to Lan Tian's hand and said, "Ziyu, you can't favor one person over another. If you make me anxious, I'll go to Jiaozhou to be your general, and I'll crush you by the way..."

Seeing Zhang Fei's childish nature, Lan Tian couldn't find it funny, so he quickly comforted him: "In fact, the guerrilla tactics in the martial arts hall are very practical. Boping has used this method for many actual combat drills, and Yide has even applied it to real combat. Why don't you keep improving?"

"Keep improving? How do you say that?"

"It is impossible for any tactic to be a secret forever, but as long as you keep the core idea unchanged, keep changing tactics and bringing forth new ones, you can use this tactic to keep defeating your opponent. Zhou came to practice hand? As the saying goes, one trick is eaten everywhere."

"One trick, can eat it all over the world? You won't lie to me, will you?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and frowned.

"I can only lie to my enemies, not my own people." Lan Tian replied seriously.

Zhang Fei nodded and picked up the wine bowl to collide with Lan Tian, ​​"Let's trust you again, let's have another bowl."

Lantian had no choice but to accept the trick. Fortunately, the alcohol content of the fruit wine was very low, just like drinking a sugar drink, but he had just finished drinking, and Zhang Fei leaned closer to his ear and lowered his voice: "I remember Ziyu said that the law should not be passed on to the ears. You can tell me secretly like this."

"Ok?"

Lan Tian shook his head back, showing an incredulous expression.

"Ziyu asked me to go to Liangzhou to harass me, so I have to give some practical suggestions?" Zhang Fei pretended not to give up if he couldn't answer.

Lan Tian was so entangled that he couldn't get out, and he thought how to harass Liangzhou, didn't I remind him before?He squeezed the handle and thought carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Have it.

"Come here with your ears." Lan Tian pretended to be profound.

"Hey, that's right." Zhang Fei cheerfully put his big black face on him.

Lan Tian said softly: "I watched the sky at night a few days ago, and found a shining general star in the sky over Jixian County. After calculation, I found out that this person's name is Jiang Wei. When you go to attack Liangzhou, Yide, you can find a way to abduct this person. He It will definitely help you capture Yongliang."

"Jiang Wei? I haven't heard of it." Zhang Fei frowned.

"This person hasn't reached the championship yet, so it's normal for Yide to have never heard of it." Lan Tian explained.

"You're still young, can he do it? Can he compare to Pang Lingming?" Zhang Fei expressed doubts.

"Talent does not depend on age. This person is both intelligent and courageous. If you really want to compare yourself with others, you may be on par with Shi Zai (Deng Ai)."

Lan Tian smiled slightly, and said that Pound was not a simple warrior. It was Pound who offered advice when Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao, and finally captured Chang'an easily.

"Deng Shizai is a good kid, then I'll go and catch Jiang Wei." Zhang Fei clenched his fists.
