Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 628 There is no precedent, let me open it

Just as Zhang Fei turned around, Lan Tian gently called him to stop, and chased after him, telling him, "This man is extremely filial, and Yi De should not be taken lightly."

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to investigate first. If there is no such person in Jicheng, Deng Shizai must be compensated to me." Zhang Fei walked away without looking back.

"Hahaha..." Xu Shu poured himself a drink, stroked his beard and smiled.

"Did Yuan Zhi hear it?" Lan Tian was curious.

Xu Shu nodded slightly, "When I was young, I was a knight-errant, and now I have sharp eyes and ears, and Yide's voice is powerful, I have to listen to you..."

Lan Tian smiled wryly: "Yide is open-minded and bold. Although he is very strong, he also knows how to bend and stretch. He really can't be underestimated..."

"Yide really has a lot of cleverness. There is Ziyu in Jingzhou who is backing General Guan. He actually came up with Deng Shizai's idea. Your master and apprentice are going to farm the fields. Who can be the enemy?" Xu Shu sighed.

"I didn't expect this..." Lan Tian was stunned.

"Ziyu can really see so many things from the astrology? Not only does he know his name and age accurately, but he even counts Jiang Wei's filial piety? Does he really know the art of ghosts and gods?" Xu Shu was even more surprised.

During Xu Shu's travels in Jingzhou, he became a secret friend with Zhuge Liang. The two often studied and discussed together. Zhuge Liang also often demonstrated stargazing skills, but he was not as amazing as Lan Tian.

Lan Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no ghost art in this world, if I really know strange magic, wouldn't I be able to spread beans into soldiers, fly into the sky and escape from the earth?"

"But the astronomy and astrology I know cannot calculate such accurate information..." Xu Shujian frowned.

Lan Tian turned his head to the right and leaned over, whispering, "Actually, I didn't look at the astrology at all, but I got Jiang Wei's information in advance."

Xu Shu asked: "How did you..."

"Does Yuan Zhi still remember the caravan sent to the north?" Lan Tian asked back.

"I remember, especially Song Chen, I remember deeply." Xu Shu nodded. If Song Chen hadn't been there, Pang De would not have appeared here, and the King of Hanzhong would not have been so rational. Thinking of this, he suddenly Opened his mouth wide, and continued to ask: "Have they even set foot in Liangzhou?"

Lan Tian nodded slightly, "Businessmen naturally have to run around. In fact, Jiang Wei is not an unknown person. His father, Jiang Jiong, was a meritorious officer in Tianshui County. He died in the 19th year of Jian'an when he resisted the Qiang and Rong rebellions."

"So that's how it is." Xu Shu finally knew why Lan Tian was speaking so convincingly, thinking that the tricks of the three generals were no match for Ziyu's great cleverness in the end.

At the celebration banquet, Liu Bei ordered unlimited wine and meat, and all the soldiers drank to their heart's content. People often toasted before the Lantian case, just like bars in later generations.

Although it is not easy to get drunk with fruit wine, if you drink too much, you will have to go to the toilet. Lan Tian stepped across the threshold of the hall, and suddenly found a general standing in the corridor, tall and mighty in the dark, looking closer, he turned out to be the familiar Gao Shun.

"Boping? There is a charcoal basin in the hall to keep warm, why did you come outside?" Lan Tian was curious.

Gao Shun strictly disciplined himself not to drink, so he was full soon. He couldn't bear the noisy atmosphere in the hall, so he ran outside the hall to cool off. When he saw Lan Tian's feet standing side by side, he immediately knew that the other party was about to show respect, so he Pointing not far away, he said, "Sir, do you want to go to the toilet? I'll take you there."

"Uh... full of wine..." Lan Tian smiled and patted his stomach.

Open the gate to release the water, hearty and dripping.

Lan Tian tidied up his robes and strode out to the corridor.

"Because Boping doesn't drink, so much fun is lost." Lan Tian observed Gao Shun's expression while speaking, and found that something was wrong on Gao Shun's face, so he followed up and asked, "You are not in a good mood today. I don't know why?"

Gao Shun shook his head lightly, "Sir, don't worry about me. I have a quiet personality and don't like noisy environments. You should know that."

"No, no..." Lan Tian squinted his eyes and shook his head from side to side, trying to guess: "Could it be the reason for the award? I remember you once said that you don't want to be promoted any further, for fear of disappointing your brother-in-law's expectations, so your The name was erased by me, and I was going to make you General Pingbei."

"Sir, you are right. Gao Shun is the general of you and Miss. I really can't afford such an important position. I don't care about him, and I am ashamed of accepting it."

Seeing Gao Shun's clear eyes, Lan Tian knew that the other party was not lying to him, so he was even more puzzled. He solemnly clasped his fists and asked, "I take Boping as my confidant, so please tell me the truth."

Gao Shun sighed, "Deng County and Cao Cao fought this time. Although they won the battle in the end, all armies suffered a lot of damage, even the army that fell into the formation was no exception."

"Cao's army is naturally stronger than Jiangdong's soldiers. How many casualties did the trapped army have?" Lan Tian asked while comforting him.

"200 were killed and 100 were injured." Gao Shun answered truthfully.

Lan Tian was shocked when he heard that, even the soldiers who fell into the formation had more than [-]% casualties, and the subsequent war was so tragic. Now he finally knew the crux of the matter, it turned out that Gao Shun felt sorry for those soldiers.

"I earned a lot of money from Sun Quan. You hand over the list of casualties and credits to Master Xu. This time, the pension and rewards are relatively generous. Now that the deceased has passed away, there is no need to be sad."

Gao Shun frowned, "I haven't practiced enough. Maybe it's because I slacked off during the Guangzhou period. There should be actual combat drills even if there is no war. Of course, it is also related to my improper command..."

"Boping blames himself so much, could it be that he lost to Zhang Liao?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Zhang Liao's cavalry is not to be feared at all. He tried to use the mobility of the cavalry to attack and split my formation, but he was defeated by me three times in a row." Gao Shun snorted softly.

"Why is that?" Lan Tian was puzzled.

"It was because I defeated Zhang Liao three times. The fourth time I underestimated the enemy and misdirected. I was seized by the heavy armored tiger and leopard cavalry. In that battle, three hundred brothers were killed. Fortunately, the euphorbia battalion responded in time and repelled me. Cao Xiu's troops." Gao Shun smiled wryly.

Lan Tian patted Gao Shun on the shoulder to comfort him: "The tiger and leopard cavalry are Cao Cao's most elite troops. Boping's ability to defeat Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu at the same time probably surprised them too, right? So you don't need to blame yourself at all. Yun Chang asked me for someone just now." I was really worried that he would ask you to go away..."

"General Guan, he won't..." Gao Shun shook his head slightly, and then sighed softly: "After this war, I saw many problems in the army. Many soldiers are no longer suitable for staying because of injuries and age. In the barracks, I think it's time for a shake-up in the battalions.

It’s just that the replaced people are used to using knives and guns. They have fought with me all their lives, and they may not be used to farming with hoes. The martial arts hall can’t accommodate so many veterans. I really don’t know how to arrange them..."

Lan Tian smiled: "This is not something you should care about. They really can't fight for a lifetime. I have already considered the future. Jiaozhou has a large area and a small population, and there are many tribes of Yue people. The original local officials and small officials from schools , have lost some of the gangster spirit that can calm down the scene; people who have experienced in the battlefield are needed to serve in the county lieutenant, law officer, soldier officer, prison officer, city officer, pavilion chief and other yamen."

"They can still be officials? There seems to be no such precedent..."

"There is no precedent, I will drive, don't forget who is Jiaozhou Mu."

Chapter 629 I'm Seeking Hope in Jiaozhou

Lantian arrived in Xiangyang in early February. The fighting in the north had ended for more than ten days. Most of the families of the fallen soldiers were in Jingnan and Jiaozhou. Even if they won, they would return home.

After staying in Xiangyang for two days, Lantian found Liu Bei and Guan Yu to say goodbye.

"Bei originally planned to get together for a few more days, but I didn't want Ziyu to come home..." Liu Bei was a little bit reluctant.

Lan Tian clasped his fists and explained: "We have been out for several months, and there are many important matters in Jiaozhou that have not yet been decided, so we can only bid farewell to the king and the generals for a while."

"Alright, after all, state affairs are the most important thing." Liu Bei nodded.

Zhang Fei asked: "Ziyu is leaving today? Second brother, arrange a boat for me, and I have to go to Wudu too."

"The third brother is also in such a hurry?" Guan Yu frowned.

"National affairs are the most important thing, and I take Ziyu as an example." Zhang Fei said, patting his chest.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, then at Guan Yu, and said in a low voice, "Since Ziyu and Yide are leaving, I will go to Jiangling to join Xiaozhi first, and work hard for my second brother to guard Xiangyang."

"Brother, don't worry, if Guan X is here, Fancheng and Xiangyang will not be lost." Guan Yu clasped his fists sonorously.

"Okay, okay, okay, I don't know when the three of us will meet next time..." Liu Bei patted Guan Yu's shoulder with a sad expression on his face, after all, Chengdu and Xiangyang are too far away.

Seeing that both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were feeling sad, Zhang Fei said to Lan Tian, ​​"Won't Ziyu know how to count? When do you think we brothers will meet again? It would be best if you, Lan Ziyu, are there."

"Uh... as long as the various places recuperate and accumulate strength, after a few years the country will be rich and the people will be strong and the soldiers will be well supplied. The king and Yide soldiers will go out of Qinchuan to break Yongliang, and Yunchang will bring the people of Jingzhou to Wanluo. Everyone is in the old capital. How about meeting?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Very good..." Liu Bei and Guan Yu held each other's hands, looked at Lan Tian and replied in unison.

"Huh? This is Kong Ming's Longzhong, right? Ziyu, you are too cunning, aren't you? Remember to come together when the time comes, and don't forget my kelp..." Zhang Fei reminded.

kelp?Everyone was at a loss after listening, how did Zhang Fei's taste change?

Lan Tian smiled and nodded, "Kong Ming's Long Zhong Duo is the most suitable for the king. Follow the plan and the world can be determined. When we meet again in Luoyang, I will definitely be there."

"I can't say no to you, anyway, remember the agreement with me..." Zhang Fei implied that he was talking about Jiang Wei, and Lan Tian immediately nodded knowingly.

"Yun Chang, I asked Boping to recruit [-] soldiers for you. I am currently taking care of those Jiangdong prisoners of war in Jiangxia. Sun Quan should have no money to redeem them. He can arrange the prisoners of war to serve as corvees in various counties, so that the [-] soldiers can Release the restraint." Lan Tian reminded.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, "Ziyu is still thoughtful, and I will discuss it with Yuanzhi later."

"Pay close attention to the movements in the north. Cao Cao probably won't have many years to live. If the state of Wei is in chaos because of this, there may be a chance to go north earlier." Lan Tian instructed Xu Shu again, his eyes were firm at this time, as if telling the other party, Cao Cao The astrology is true.

Because Lan Tian gave Cao Cao a spoiler, I don’t know if he will kill Sima in advance, Cao Pi may not be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, Wei Guo may be in chaos, and Guan Yu will be able to reap some benefits at that time .

Xu Shu nodded and replied, "There have been constant wars in Jingzhou in the past six months. Whether it is Jiangdong, Central Plains or Guanzhong, our information has been temporarily suspended. However, once I receive the information, I will send it to Chengdu and Guangzhou as soon as possible."

"Very good." Lan Tian nodded.

Two hours later, Xiangyang Hanshui Wharf.

Guan Yu and the Xiangyang generals saw off by the river. Seeing the soldiers boarding the ship neatly, he couldn't help but sighed to Liu Bei: "The soldiers who fell into the formation have the ambition to fall into the formation. They have made great contributions in this battle. Gao Boping buried them in Jiaozhou. It is really a shame." It's a pity."

"People have their own aspirations, how can we force them? Besides, the folk customs in Lingnan are tough, and Ziyu needs them to deter them." Liu Bei explained for Lantian.

When the two were talking, Chen Dao came over and clasped his fists to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, we and General Yide have a small number of people, and we have all boarded the ship. Look..."

"Wait a little longer, anyway, we are on the same road with Ziyu, and we will set off together later." Liu Bei replied.

"Wei." Chen Dao turned and left.

After staying at the pier for half an hour, all the entrapment troops had boarded the ship, and hundreds of ships on the Han River set sail at the same time. The only difference was that Zhang Fei's few ships did not set sail because they were going westward.

Lan Tian ordered Jiang Xia to order Li Yi's navy to wait at Dongting Lake, while he and Gao Shun took the Han River to the Yang River, and finally entered the Yangtze River to the east, which would save two hundred miles of water.

Liu Bei simply boarded Lantian's boat because he was going to transfer to Jiangling.

As the territory grew larger, the titles of the two became higher and higher, and the number of meetings became less and less. Thinking of the years in Xiaopei, Liu Bei often visited Lantian's house, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

At that time, although Liu Bei was very down and out, he didn't have so many worries about having a small number of soldiers. He needed to balance the forces of various factions when he became the queen of Hanzhong. The reason why the party attaches great importance to it.

After this reward from Xiangyang, the Yuan Cong faction, Jingzhou faction, and Dongzhou faction have reached a balance in internal affairs and military affairs, so the higher he goes, the more lonely Liu Bei will feel.

Lan Tian has maintained his original intention for so many years. He is not greedy for power, money, or beauty. He has his own lofty ideals and persistence. Even if he shows superb strategies and insights, he can make Liu Bei feel warm, so there is no need to worry too much when talking with Lan Tian. many.

Liu Bei chatted with Lantian about Jiaozhou and Jiaozhou's reforms on the boat. He always felt that Lantian was a bit too idealistic.

Now Lantian can hold the scene in Jiaozhou, but such a great talent Liu Bei can't let him be trapped in the border area.

Liu Bei asked worriedly: "I can't say that Ziyu's reforms are wrong. Judging from the current situation, Jiaozhou is developing well in all aspects. The establishment of schools, craftsmen, and businesses has given the head of Guizhou an opportunity, but these measures are not related to internal affairs and culture. A soldier? You said that it takes a lot of time to settle, who can guarantee that it can last forever? Ziyu is a talent for helping the world, it is impossible to just let you be the state shepherd..."

"What exactly does brother-in-law want to say?" Lan Tian asked back.

"I'm worried that Ziyu's painstaking efforts will end in vain. One Jiaozhou can't stop the general trend of the world. Who will succeed you and me in a hundred years?" Liu Bei smiled wryly.

Lan Tian replied solemnly: "If there is only one voice in the world, then it means that there is no voice. The poor will continue to be poor, the rich will become richer, and the noble families will become bigger and bigger. If you meet a mediocre person like Huan Ling The lord, the gentry may endanger the imperial power and bring disaster to the world again.

Jiaozhou’s new rules are like seeds, different voices, and hopes. Sooner or later, most ordinary people will make their own choices. As for how to continue and not be swallowed by the gentry, I also have my own ideas. "

"I would like to hear from you." Liu Bei became interested.

6 Chapter Thirty

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "The two systems can coexist for a long time. The policies of Jiaozhou can only be implemented in Jiaozhou. As long as the common people in Jiaozhou are born as officials and do not flow out to other states to take power, it is fine. The noble families are all attached to their hometown land. Who cares about the remote Lingnan in the thirteen states?"

"That's not a problem, but Ziyu spent his whole life, just wanting to build a paradise in Lingnan?" Liu Bei was still puzzled.

"Although the officials do not communicate with each other, and the common people seldom migrate, the merchants will go everywhere, so the current Jiaozhou policy will one day spread to the world.

Just like a house has many windows, as long as one of them is broken, the cool breeze can blow into the room, and it is a matter of time when the rest of the windows are opened. "Lan Tian is full of confidence.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement: "Miaozai, I can rest assured that Ziyu really has a way."

"Brother-in-law Huo Kua, it will take time to verify whether it will work."

"I have full confidence in Ziyu."

Looking at Liu Bei's gratified expression, Lan Tian thought that success is certain, but the current productivity is too low, and the advanced systems of later generations cannot be copied completely, and the historical stage that should be experienced will always be experienced.

Jiaozhou is currently equivalent to a piece of white land, and the only gentry is also suppressed in Jiaozhi. Lantian has come up with the strategy of the old man, coupled with the broken window effect, it will surely succeed. After all, one country, two systems is an ancient strategy.

"By the way, I discussed with Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi. Why is it convenient to fight against Cao Cao? We plan to move the Jingzhou government to Xiangyang. In addition, the Jiangxia county government also plans to move to Wuchang. What does Ziyu think?" Liu Bei asked again.

Lan Tian nodded, "It should be like this. It is a good strategy to move the focus of the prefectures to the front line and let the Jianghan Plain in the hinterland of Jingzhou be protected. Those fertile land can be used well. This is a good strategy."

"I knew Ziyu would agree, but if the government office is moved from Jiangling to Xiangyang, Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi will not be able to take care of Jingnan, and then Ziyu will have to work hard." Liu Bei's face was kind.

Lan Tian quickly used his brain, he felt that Mi Fang's transfer was strange at first, he thought it was to make room for general Hu Xiu, after all, following Su Fei to resist Sun Jiao was just pretending, now that Liu Bei asked him to take care of Jing Nan, he suddenly seemed to understand what.

"Brother-in-law asked me to take care of Zifang?" Lan Tian made it clear.

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "It's easy to talk to a really smart person. Mrs. Mi died early, and Shu'er who was left behind was brought up by your sister. Ziyu is her half-uncle. The brothers of the Mi family once gave me help in every situation, and now Bei Tengda is on the rise." It should be taken care of, but I, Guan Zifang, can't use it very much. This time I am transferred to Changsha as the county guard, so I have to remind you..."

"In other words, in addition to Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha County?" Lan Tian confirmed.

"That's right, Hu Xiu is intimidated by Yun Chang's reputation, so it is better for Wuling and Jiang Xia to let Yun Chang take charge, but Ziyu has experience in dealing with Jiang Dong, and Gan Xingba will report to you if there is something wrong." Liu Bei explained.

"Brother-in-law has a lot to worry about." Lan Tian laughed.

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly: "The ancients said, 'Cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world', Qi's family is not an easy task..."

Lan Tian often chatted with Liu Xi and others about Confucian classics. He understood that the Qi family in "The Great Learning" is not simple, and it is not just a matter of literally managing a few members of a family.

The family here refers to the family (clan), with as few as dozens of people and as many as hundreds or thousands. If you can be the head of a clan (such as Lu Xun), it is easy to be an official and govern the country.

Hundreds of fleets sailed south, bid farewell to Liu Bei in Jiangling, and finally joined Li Yi's navy in Dongting, returning to Guangzhou City in late February.

During this period, there was propaganda from the Changjiang Newspaper and Lingnan Newspaper. Lantian and the soldiers of the fallen army became famous, and the common people gathered at the Panyu Wharf to welcome them.
