Lan Tian and Gao Shun stood at the bow of the boat and saw the crowds on the pier. Lan Yuan holding a halberd was very eye-catching among the crowd. He and the barbarians led by Sha Moke maintained order on the shore.

"Sir, shouldn't Boyang also wear a suit? The silver armor that General Guan gave Zhongling is really impressive." Gao Shun joked aside.

Lan Tian responded: "Boyang also has an uncle, what are we doing with all that money?"

"Uh...Mr. is really strict with them. In fact, the children have grown up..." Gao Shun shook his head and smiled wryly.

"In the eyes of parents, there is no grown-up child. Gao Ling is older than Bo Yang. Does Bo Ping think he is an adult?" Lan Tian asked back.

"Hehe, it's okay..." Gao Shun smiled awkwardly.

Lan Tian suddenly became serious, and then pointed to his temple: "Everything outside the body can be taken away. Only outstanding thoughts, awareness of compassion for all beings, and wisdom beyond others are the most precious treasures. They leave their fields and houses, but they will teach them how to behave and how to live."

Gao Shun nodded frequently, "Mr. always speaks amazingly, but I can't argue with them. You are always so approachable, but you are always so unpredictable..."

"Don't be emotional, we are here." As Lan Tian spoke, the boat had slowly landed.

As soon as Lan Tian set foot on land, Lan Yuan and Sha Moke surrounded him.

"Father, Uncle Gao..."

"Sir, General Gao..."

Lan Yuan was already taller than Lan Tian, ​​the father patted his son on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "I heard President Song say about you, and you did a good job."

"It's not my credit alone, it's mainly because of President Song's information, old Uncle Lu's veterans, and General Sha's barbarians..." Lan Yuan did not forget to ask others for credit.

"It's good to be neither arrogant nor impetuous." Lan Tian nodded affirmatively. Seeing that Sha Moke was a little disappointed, he asked, "What's wrong with General Sha? Why is he so sad?"

Shamoke clasped his fists and replied: "I was teased by those Yue people. They were like fake Luling soldiers. They made me spend so long in Longchuan for nothing. If I knew it, I would have gone to Nanye with the major general. In the end, everyone stood up. Credit, I didn't get anything this trip..."

"Opportunities abound. Do you want me to recommend you to General Guan to kill the enemy and do meritorious service like Pang Lingming?" Lan Tian asked.

Shamoke shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not used to being with others, it's better to follow Mr., who can treat barbarians like you? Hehe, I moved some of my tribe to Jiaozhou, when the time comes, the children will be able to Reading, learning crafts..."

"General Sha's hometown is in Wuling County. It's not convenient for me, Jiaozhou Shepherd, to run a school there, but it's good to take over Jiaozhou. It's also convenient for you to take care of them. Are they settled in Guangzhou?" Lan Tian asked.

"The people in Guangzhou are too active. I'm afraid they won't adapt here. I get along very well with the Governor of Tan in Longchuan. He settled my people in Jieyang, where you can fish and grow crops by the sea. It is very suitable for my people." Shamoko explained.

"Tan Dingzhou? Jieyang?" Lan Tian said a few words to himself, and suddenly smiled at Sha Moke: "It's not easy to migrate from Chenyang in Wuling to Jieyang in Jiaozhou. I'll teach them a craft to make a living." .”

Chapter 631 Uncle Lu's new car?

"The craft of earning a living?" Shamoke was shocked when he heard it, and asked happily: "Is it difficult? Those of my tribe are not very smart."

Lan Tian smiled: "It's actually very simple, just use ropes to grow kelp at the beach, and I will harvest the kelp I grow for military use, so don't worry about not being sold."

"No...I've eaten kelp before, isn't it quite expensive? Can you grow that stuff yourself?" Shamoke looked confused.

Gao Shun patted him on the shoulder, with a relaxed face: "Can Mr.'s words be true? I have seen Mr. grow corn, rice, mushrooms, etc., but he has never planted that kelp. This is the first time in the world. Wuxi Man It was a stroke of luck.”

Samokona bowed his head, "Thank you sir for your gift..."

"General Sha doesn't have to be like this, this is what I should do." Lan Tian quickly helped Sha Moke up.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, Lieutenant General Xu Shuang had already ordered the trapped troops to line up, waiting for Gao Shun's order to return to Guangzhou.

"Sir, if you want to chat for a while, I will take the soldiers back to the station to settle down first?" Gao Shun asked for instructions.

"Let's go together when we're all here..." Lan Tian hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a shout came from behind.

Lan Tian looked back and found Li Yi's sailors were disembarking with two cars.

"Father, what kind of car is this? Made for old Uncle Lu?" Lan Yuan was full of curiosity.

Lan Tian frowned and stared, not knowing what Li Yi was doing, "Come on, let's take a look."

Lan Yuan was young and quick, and arrived at the side of the two cars first, and couldn't help but look at Lu Tie's new car.

I saw that the square carriage was half the height of a person, with four wooden wheels, no top cover, and the surroundings were wrapped with metal sheets.

"It's enough for three or four people to sit in the carriage, and Old Lu Uncle can't sit alone." Lan Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

"General Li, what is this?" Lan Tian was at a loss.

Li Yi scratched his head and replied, "General Xu asked me to load it on the ship. I don't know exactly what it does."

Xu Shuang rushed over after hearing the news, and explained to everyone with a smile: "This is the spoils captured by General Zhang when he captured Jiangxia. It is said that the tiger shooting chariot was made for Sun Quan. He asked me to bring it back as a gift for you..."

"Yide gave me the tiger shooting cart? I don't have the hunting hobby like Sun Quan, so why don't you want me to build a museum for people to visit?" Lan Tian said to himself, he didn't understand.

Xu Shuang replied: "General Zhang was interrogating the captives. I heard that Sun Quan had asked Yu Fan to divination the war. One of the hexagrams said, "A gentleman gets a husband, and a villain strips a hut." Sun Quan is a villain..."

"Is it so straightforward... If a gentleman needs a car, will he really give me two cars? But it's useless for me to keep these things." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Father, can you give it to the child?" Lan Yuan showed a joyful expression.

Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan very vigilantly, and said in a deep voice, "I said, 'Five colors make people blind; five sounds make people deaf; five flavors make people happy; galloping and hunting makes people crazy; rare goods make people hinder." Because hunting and playing will kill fighting spirit, Bo Yang wants to use the Tiger Chariot for his own use, or do he want to give it to Lu Tie?"

Lan Yuan was startled when he heard that, and quickly explained: "The carriage of this tiger shooting cart is too big, and it needs two horses to use it. I don't think it is as useful as Old Lu's current wooden cart.

The boy thinks that this car is wrapped in iron, can it be improved as a chariot?A large number can also be used as temporary fortifications, which can not only prevent cavalry from rushing into the formation, but also withstand the shooting of arrows and bows. "

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other, thinking that Lan Yuan's idea might be feasible.

Chariots can only be used on wide plains, so they are gradually replaced by mobile cavalry, but the combat mode of chariots has not completely disappeared.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were light chariots, military chariots, and military chariots, etc. Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty also made side chariots for combat.

"Boyang's idea is very good. Later, you send the tiger shooting vehicle to the artisan area, first discuss with the artisans and draw up the first draft, and then I will check it out for you."

Lan Tianxin said that it was impossible, so he fiddled with the blueprint of the partial van, which may be of great use in the future Northern Expedition.

"Wei." Lan Yuan was overjoyed.

Lan Tian followed the order to return to the city, and the soldiers of each battalion lined up one by one.

Sha Moke led the barbarians to lead the way, followed by Lan Tian and Gao Shun's entrapment army, and finally Li Yi's navy army.

This combination is very similar to the rescue of Panyu in the past. At that time, the barbarians opened the way, and the fallen army was behind, which put great pressure on the scholars.

When I left last year, Xiao Lanqing was a month away from turning three years old. After not seeing her for a few months, she has changed a lot, and now she has become Lu Lingqi's little follower.

Lan Tian just walked into the gate of the courtyard, Lan Qing called her father sweetly, and then jumped into Lan Tian's arms.

Compared with Lan Yuan and Lan Ji's two sons, Lan Tian dotes on this daughter quite a lot.

"Qing'er, if you haven't come down yet, your father is tired from the long journey, so let me hug you." Lu Lingqi reminded in a low voice.

"Hmm...not good, my father is a general, so it's okay to hold Qing'er..." Xiao Lanqing pursed her lips and refused, and after she finished speaking, she grabbed Lan Tian's beard with her small hands.

Seeing that Lu Lingqi frowned slightly, Lan Tian smiled and shook his head lightly: "The whole journey is by boat, what's there to be tired of? I haven't hugged my daughter for several months, today I will hug her as much as I want."

"You told me to hold less. Boyang and Zhongling went to the ground to play very early. How can they be hugged by their parents when they are more than three years old? Husband, you are not satisfied with your words." Lu Lingqi pretended to complain.

"Daughter...it doesn't matter...if you like Jun, I will hug you at night too..." Lan Tian joked with a smile.

Lu Lingqi blushed pretty, and the maids beside her had long since hid, she rolled her eyes at Lan Tian, ​​and said angrily: "It is said that men are older and more stable, why does your husband speak so freely, luckily Bo Yang didn't come back with you... "

"What's important between husband and wife, Xiao Qing'er doesn't understand." Lan Tian rolled his eyes down, and found that Lan Qing was pulling his beard and playing with great enthusiasm, so he didn't pay attention to the playfulness of the two.

"Where did Boyang go?" Lu Lingqi changed the subject.

"The casualties of the fallen army are not small this time. Thousands of people were killed in battle alone. Boping is going to provide compensation for the fallen soldiers today. I asked Boyang to help..." Lan Tian replied seriously.

Lu Lingqi nodded slightly, "Thieves Cao really shouldn't be underestimated. I remember that my husband fought against Jiangdong before, and the losses in each battle did not exceed a hundred people. Boping treated the two brothers like nephews. It is only right to help them."

"How do the Jiangdong rats compare with Cao's army? Sun Zhongmou couldn't even wipe out Shanyue in Yangzhou, so how could he be the opponent of the fallen army? Gao Boping also planned to train some recruits, so besides the more than [-] casualties, nearly [-] soldiers needed to be discharged. A." Lan Tian continued.

"There are so many people? How does your husband plan to arrange them?" Lu Lingqi's face became serious.

"Every county needs a lot of manpower. These people have been stained with blood, so they can promote government orders and manage the place for me. In addition, I have an idea, but I have to discuss it with my brother-in-law." Lan Tian said solemnly .

"what idea?"

"I want to establish a military academy on the basis of the lecture hall, and cultivate military talents from children."

Chapter 632 A Money Can't Beat a Hero

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lantian was so prudent. The military academy was different from other schools. With Lantian's ability, he could train generals in batches. If Liu Bei's approval was not obtained, this move would be no different from a rebellion.

"By the way, I heard that Zhongling made great contributions in defending the city, and even beheaded the general Han Dang. You forcibly erased his achievements?" Lu Lingqi seemed to be complaining for her son.

"Zhongling still needs training. He can't become famous so early. I just take the credit for this time to offset my previous position as a military commander." Lan Tian explained.

Lu Lingqi nodded, "Your husband must be considerate, but you can't treat one more favorably than another. Boyang has made a lot of contributions this time, so should he be rewarded for his merit? He is still a bodyguard now..."

Lan Tian held his daughter in his arms, showing a fatherly smile, "Xiaojun's words are similar to Boping, am I so difficult to talk?"

"Uh... I always feel that my husband is very strict, at least to my two sons." Lu Lingqi muttered.

Thinking of his family, Lan Tian couldn't help feeling emotional: "I lost my father when I was young, and it was my mother who brought me up through hardships, and she was so strict with me since childhood.

My achievements today are inseparable from the encouragement of my mother. I have no experience as a first-time father, so I can only use my mother's method to educate them. Unfortunately, my mother passed away prematurely..."

"Aunt Jun must be a wonderful woman who can teach a husband, but my mother..."

Lu Lingqi thought of the grief of her relatives. The city of Xiapi was destroyed that day, Lu Bu was hanged and killed, and his wives, concubines and family members were assigned to soldiers by Cao Cao. Her mother, Yan Shi, was taken to Cao Cao's other courtyard in Xudu. This news was found out by Song Chen later.

Lan Tian embraced her daughter with his left hand, stroked Lu Lingqi's forehead with his right hand, and comforted softly: "The deceased is gone, please don't be too sad, my fate is determined by the sky, and you can't control it at all. Just cherish the present."

Lu Lingqi has a resolute character, she dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, and soon recovered, she changed the subject and asked: "My husband knows how to educate his son with Jungu's method, why is it different when you come to Qing'er?"

"Qing'er is obedient." Xiao Lanqing turned her head, stared at her big watery eyes, and pouted to Lu Lingqi.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Because I'm the only child in my family and have no brothers or sisters, so I don't know how to teach my daughter. I treat her as I treat you. Do you think it's fierce..."

"Husband..." Lu Lingqi was both annoyed and happy, and lightly patted the back of Lan Tian's hand, saying to herself that all sons and daughters depend on me to teach them.

As night fell, Lan Yuan didn't rush home for dinner, Lan Qing eyelid fight after playing all day, drank some porridge and was coaxed to sleep by the maid.

Afterwards, Lu Lingqi cooked in person and cooked some special dishes for Lan Tian. The couple poured drinks at the small table in the room, and happiness and warmth immediately filled the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian woke up very early. Lu Lingqi waited for him to put on his clothes and opened the door energetically. This kind of treatment can only be given at home.

During the war, Lan Tian mostly lived in the same tent with Gao Shun, and the two big men took care of themselves.

At this time, Lan Yuan was already waiting in the courtyard. After returning from a long absence, he would definitely summon the officials the next day, which was a habit formed by Lan Tian all the year round.

Lan Tian stood at the door and asked, "What time did you go home last night?"

Lan Yuan stood upright, clasped his fists and replied: "Because there were so many people here yesterday, Uncle Gao insisted on seeing everyone, and we didn't finish until midnight."

"This is also the art of running an army, you have to see it in your eyes and keep it in your heart."

"My child understands."

Lan Tian was about to go to the front hall to do business. Lu Lingqi asked the maids to bring breakfast and put it on the table, and greeted her, "I was teaching my son early in the morning... Come and have breakfast, father and son, today should be very busy."

"Boyang, wash your hands and eat."

"only."

The family of three sat around the stone table and drank porridge, with only a few plates of pickled side dishes in between. They were so frugal that they didn't look like the state pastoral family. Lu Lingqi was worried that Lan Qing would disturb her, so she asked the maid to take her to the side to play.

Seeing the father and son gobbling it up, Lu Lingqi couldn't help laughing, "Fortunately, the porridge has been cold for a while, otherwise it would definitely burn your mouth. You can slow down, and no one dares to rush..."

"A man eats like a tiger, so it's more free and easy..." Lan Tian had a lot of reasons, and Lu Lingqi couldn't talk to him at all.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lan Tian arrived at the front hall on time, and all state and county officials were present.

Jiang Wan, Xia Houqi, Yuan Wei, Xi Zhen, and Hao Pu gave a brief report on the situation in the five counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Guiyang, and Lingling in recent months. The principals of state-level yamen, such as the Administration of Government and Education, also complained separately.

The months before Lantian left were autumn and winter. Except for the autumn harvest and fishermen’s fishing operations before winter, the people were paid to repair water conservancy and dredge rivers during the slack season. The whole land of Jiaozhou was quite lively.

In order to support the war on the front line of Fancheng, the reserve warehouses in Lingling and Guiyang were almost emptied, and Lantian then issued a new round of grain reserve plan.

After listening to a round of reports, Lan Tian reminded Jiang Wan: "The next time there is a big collegial meeting in the state, Gong Yan remembers to notify Prefect Mi in advance, and now Changsha County is also under the administration of Jiaozhou."

"Wei." Jiang Wan nodded.

"Is there anything else important?" Lan Tian asked.

Jiang Wan clasped his hands and replied: "Yu Zhongxiang was brought back to Guangzhou a few years ago, and he is currently settled in the 'Wanghai Bieyuan' area of ​​the Cultural and Educational District. , I once went to visit and invite him to be an official, but he refused on the grounds of 'loyal ministers do not serve two masters'..."

"A sour Confucian, overestimate his own strength, Boyang, do you see that, this is just wishful thinking, you kindly bring him back, he is not appreciated by you." Lan Tian took the opportunity to continue educating his son.

Lan Yuan blushed and replied: "Father attaches great importance to the construction of the academy, and my son heard Mr. Junqing (Zhao Shuang) admire his talent and learning, so I thought of inviting him to the academy. I didn't expect him to be loyal to Sun Quan..."

Lan Tian didn't take it seriously and said: "Sun Quan's virtue is worthy of others' loyalty? I don't think Yu Fan can forget the Yu clan in Kuaiji and his identity as a Jiangdong gentry.

As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, so don't be so enthusiastic, you can temporarily cool off, and when he figures it out, he will naturally come to the door. "

"My lord, please explain clearly..." Jiang Wan was puzzled.
