Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Sleep for a while, what's the important thing?" Lu Lingqi nodded slightly.

"Uh... Actually, it's nothing important. Chairman Song just received a batch of new goods and wants to ask Mr. Zhang to hold his eye." Due to Lan Qing's presence, Gao Yuan could only answer in coded words.

Lan Tian stood up suddenly, "Where is Song Chen now?"

"Already waiting in the apse..." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and replied.

"The lunch break is over, I have to go to work now, the weather is too hot now, don't be too strict with Qing'er..." Lan Tian whispered to Lu Lingqi.

"Don't worry, my husband, I have a sense of proportion." Lu Lingqi nodded slightly.

Lan Tian bid farewell to his wife and daughter, and followed Gao Yuan out of the back house.

When he saw Song Chen, Lan Tian noticed that the other party's face was strange, so he asked curiously: "Did something serious happen?"

Song Chen took out two letters from his pocket and put them on the case, nodded solemnly and said: "Sir, please take a look first, these two letters are related to Jiangdong, and I have translated General Hu's letter. Another one you'd never expect..."

Curiosity drove Lan Tian to open the mysterious letter first. The content of the letter was indeed as Song Chen said just now, which was completely beyond his expectations. The divorce plan of "King of King Gou" Shi Xie would surface so quickly. The trick of eating the plaintiff and the defendant is really shameless.

"Originally, I wanted to wait for the old guy to die, and then use the identity of Shizhi (zhī) to take back the three counties. I didn't expect him to plot against me. It seems that I have to use some means to clear the Shijia from Jiaozhou." Lan Tian looked at him. grim.

Seeing that Lan Tian was angry, Song Chen pointed to another letter and said, "Sir, you might as well read General Hu's letter and make a decision together after reading it."

Lan Tian nodded and opened the envelope. Although the content on the paper was prepared in advance, the actual situation was quite different from the prediction.

According to Lan Tian's suggestion, Hu Ke asked Sima Shi to write to Sima Yi's old friend Chen Qun to write to Sima Yi's old friend Chen Qun, hoping that through the pressure of Wei State, he would give Sun Quan, who was passive in investigating the case.

Cao Pi was very surprised to see that Master Sima found out the "true murderer", but he was very satisfied with the result. He listed in detail how Lu Meng was sent from Caoying to Wuying, and asked Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Jiang Ji and others to write letters He testified, and then issued an edict to Sun Quan, the king of Wu, to reprimand the Lu family for indiscriminately buying and killing people, and demanded that Lu Ba's body be dug up and sent to Luoyang to whip his corpse, and that the entire Lu family should be escorted to the Sima family for burial.

Sun Quan received the edict and sat on the wax directly. He only agreed to send Lu Ba's body to Luoyang, and tried to protect the Lu family in front of the envoy. Wu.

Helpless, Sun Quan had no choice but to secretly dig out Lu Ba's remains and let the messenger take them away first, saying that the Lu family was deeply rooted in Jiangdong and it would take some time to deal with it, and planned to use the method of dragging words to stabilize Cao Pi first.

The matter of Sun Quan digging Lu Ba's grave was inadvertently leaked to Han Zong by someone sent by Hu Ke, and on the other hand, he secretly sent news to the Lu family.

Lu Cong and Lu Mu, with the assistance of the former Huaisi Ministry, planned to flee their family to an isolated island overseas for refuge. Hu Ke, who was secretly in charge of intelligence, reported the news of Lu's "defection" to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan felt ashamed and did not plan to pursue it, pretending that nothing had happened, but the "enemy" Han Zong did not intend to let go of this opportunity. He misunderstood Sun Quan's thoughts and led his troops out of Ruxuwu on a warship to pursue him.

There are hundreds of members of the Lu family, and they left the port on more than ten merchant ships. Later, they were attacked by warships of the Han Zongshui Army in the waters of Jiangcheng County in the lower reaches of the Jianye Yangtze River. Under Han Zong's gaze, he turned into a water ghost.

Han Zong docked at Jianye port after "revenge", intending to go to the city to find Sun Quan to ask for credit, but at the dock, he accidentally heard businessmen discussing the cause of Han Dang's death. Those businessmen exchanged their knowledge in Jingzhou, and all the evidence pointed to Han Dang died normally.

Han Zong then went back to the boat and tortured the five returning 'soldiers'. As a result, the five refused to be beaten and revealed their true identity as Fu Shiren's soldiers. He lived, so he took his family and trilogy and voted for Wei Guo.

The body was dug up and sent to Wei, the Lu family was destroyed, and Han Zong defected to the enemy.

Several things came quickly, and Hu Ke used his own energy to fuel the flames. The Huaisi Group suspected that the Jiangdong gentry had used a divorce scheme, and the Jiangdong gentry counterattacked by talking about Han Zong. The two factions argued every day in the court. Don't give up.

Seeing that the conflict between the two factions was acute, Sun Quan had to find a way to vent their hatred, so he asked Cao Pi to ask for traitors, and took the initiative to provoke war against Wei State. At present, tens of thousands of troops have been assembled in Ruxu.

After reading Hu Ke's long letter, Lan Tian was a little dazed. Jiangdong's current chaotic situation, according to a line from a TV series in later generations, "The entire northwest of Shanxi is in chaos."

"Hu Ke has done a good job. This guy has the potential to be a 'rebellious official and a traitor'. It is a great thing for us that Sun Quan gathers troops to trouble Cao Pi. The king may have a chance to come out of Qin Chuan." Lan Tian stroked his beard. Knock on the table.

"The letter from Shi Xie was intercepted..." Song Chen meant that Sun Quan was busy and might not have time to trouble Jiaozhou.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "Of course we have to send it. We can't give Sun Quan time to stop and develop. Shi Xie gave me an excuse to weaken Jiang Dong. How can he live up to his old man's wishes?"

"Then how to reply to General Hu?" Song Chen asked.

Lan Tianxu replied with a focus: "Han Zong, by his own power, has seriously injured the vitality of the Huaisi faction. The Jiangdong gentry will definitely erode its rights. It is obvious that Sun Quan supports the Zhang family. He became the king of Wei and Wu and named Zhang Wen. As the prince and grand tutor, Hu Ke, the son-in-law of the Zhang family, should also show some skills, and it is best to give me some military power."

"Sir, do you want to attack Jiangdong?" Song Chenxin said that it was a quagmire.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "Not yet, but if the war between the Central Plains and Yongliang goes well in the future, it is not impossible for us to eat up Luling next to it first..."

"Uh...the last one will be spared, I'll arrange it right away." Song Chen nodded and clasped his fists.

Chapter 7 Seventy I'm Not Interested in Money

After Song Chen left, Lan Tian went to the military area under the scorching sun.

Gao Shun officially resigned as the commander of the fallen army. Apart from occasionally going to the Huben Wutang to check the preparations, he spent most of his time working in the Bing Cao.

"Sir, aren't you resting at home this afternoon? Why did you come here? Just let Gao Yuan call me if you have something to do." Gao Shun hurried up to greet him.

"There are some things I want to discuss with you." Lan Tian walked in and pulled out a chair to sit down, and then briefly explained Shi Xie's plot against him.

Gao Shun sat next to Lantian, stroking his beard and frowning: "When Boyang and I passed Jiaozhi, I heard that Shi Xie was sick in bed, and his son Shi Hui was also locked up because of back sores. They are very enthusiastic, and there is no such malicious intent at all, so is it possible that the letter was forged?"

Lan Tian shook his head and replied, "The Shi family has been using the Wusi Brothers channel to transmit news over the years, so the letter should be genuine. Maybe the Shi family father and son are pretending to be sick."

"It's understandable for Shi Hui to pretend to be sick. That Shi Xie is 85 years old this year. He might die at any time at this age, right?" Gao Shun squeezed his chin and analyzed.

Lan Tian smiled noncommittally. Shi Xie lived nearly [-] years old in history, and he seemed incompatible with the era of the Three Kingdoms, so Gao Shun's guess is also understandable.

"Whether his father and son are pretending to be sick or not, I plan to deal with the Shi family issue." Lan Tian squinted his eyes.

"Didn't you tell me that Shi Xie didn't have a few years to live and planned to use Shi Xie to complete peaceful evolution? Besides, he also alienated Sun Quan..." Gao Shun looked puzzled.

The corners of Lan Tian's lips turned up: "Sun Quan is busy fighting with Cao Pi, so he probably won't be able to take care of us in a short time. Besides, Wuchang is guarded by Gan Xingba. If Dong Wu wants to continue backstabbing, he can only go by land. He ordered Xi Zhen and Mi Fang to strengthen the border defense. If Dai wants to invade, he can only go to Longchuan..."

Gao Shun sneered and shook his head: "Jiangdong's land army is not to be feared. Now that General Sha and Yu Taishou are guarding Rinan, we can transfer the remaining barbarians from Guangzhou to Longchuan to garrison, but we need to choose another leader to lead the army. "

"It's been said that the Jiangdong rats are not free now, and our defense is too tight, so how could Sun Quan come to see him off?" Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

"Over there, sir, what are you going to do?" Gao Shun realized instantly when he saw Lan Tian's smile. He dared to think that Lan Tian was planning to trick Sun Quan again. Sun Quan was always expected to be the enemy, so how could he have a chance to win?

"Isn't Shi Xie sick? You can help him, but you have to complete the initial layout first." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

"How to arrange?" Gao Shun asked.

Lan Tian twitched his beard and said: "Military is the continuation of politics. Only under the awe of powerful force can it be possible to defeat others without fighting. You write a letter to Shamoke in the name of a soldier, so that the Zhanxiang Army can go back and forth to each other. The declaration of force in the city will help Nichinan quickly return to a peaceful life, and occasionally show his face at Hengshan Pass..."

"Use the War Elephant Army to patrol various places? I'm afraid it's still in the taming stage. It's better to go to Jiaozhi a few more times with the Army of the Squad..." Gao Shun frowned.

"Boping can rest assured that General Sha has surrendered the Fan brothers. Since some of them are already able to participate in the battle, it is no problem to call out dozens of elephants to patrol. The purpose is not to put the war elephants into battle immediately, but just to make the scholars feel the pressure. That's all..." Lan Tian explained.

Gao Shun clasped his fists and nodded, "I'll make arrangements right away, do you have any other arrangements, sir?"

Lan Tian continued: "In the name of Bingcao, Li Yi was appointed as the governor of Dan'er, and all the Jiaozhou navy was transferred to Dan'er Port for garrison. In addition, the combat navy was expanded to 5000 people, and the transport sailors were expanded to [-]."

"Dan'er Dudu? Shouldn't it be under the management of the official Cao? Will Cao exceed his authority when he sends troops?" Gao Shun reminded.

Lan Tian replied: "The governor of Dan'er is a temporary military post, so there is no need to go through the process of official Cao. Zhuya where Dan'er is located is a good place. I will suggest that the king restore the county system in the future."

Gao Shun said meaningfully: "Zhuya can support Rinan County in the southwest, monitor the three counties of Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen in the northwest, and connect with Guangzhou City in the northeast. When attacking the Shi family, the warships at Daner Military Port sail along the long coastline and can attack any city in the three counties. If Shi Xie cooperates with the army to attack by land, Shi Xie has almost no power to fight back."

"This is the real 'soldier that surrenders without fighting'. Only when there is a strong military force behind him, can he have enough power to speak in politics." Lan Tian Shuxu explained.

"Scholars are especially good at surviving. What if the other party remains unmoved under our military deterrence?" Gao Shun asked.

"The initiative is in our hands, and the Shijia will fill up every level without being moved. I think that after Li Yi's navy expands, Dan'er Military Port will also be expanded accordingly, allowing Li Yi to set up checkpoints in the military port. Cochin’s merchant ships collect shipping tax, which can increase the price of goods in Longbian and other places..."

"I think Jiaozhi and other places are rich and self-sufficient. If the price of sea transportation is too high, the scholars can ban sea transportation, right?"

Hearing Gao Shun's answer, Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, "It's easy for humanity to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Cochin and Guangzhou have been open to air for so many years, whether it's basic daily necessities such as salt and seafood, or tables and chairs. , benches, agricultural tools, clothes, etc., have formed a close connection with Guangzhou, and it is very uncomfortable to cut off contact, this is the so-called human nature..."

"Human nature? Although I don't know much about it, what you said must be right." Gao Shun nodded.

"Shi Xie is 85 years old, and his two brothers, Shi Yi and Shi Huang, are not too young. It is time to return home with wealth. I plan to start with Hepu or Jiuzhen, and replace his two brothers with the newly appointed prefect. If Shi Yi and Shi Huang You know the current affairs, they will share some land in Cangwu's hometown for the elderly, which can be regarded as cutting off Shi Xie's wings, and if the two brothers do not follow orders, they will be against me." Lan Tian sneered.

"Who is the prefect?" Gao Shun asked.

"Shizhi has been very diligent in politics for several years in Guangzhou. In addition, I plan to let Peng Yongnian (Peng Yi) take over for the next term." Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied.

After Liu Bei led Yizhou Shepherd, Peng Yi became arrogant because of his meritorious deeds. Zhuge Liang disliked his virtue. Chengdu, the political center of the state, was later recommended by Fei Shi to serve as an official in Jiaozhou.

Lantian gave Peng Yang a state to do idle work, and he usually worked under Jiang Wan, probably because he was far away from his hometown in Yizhou, or maybe because of the pleasant environment in Jiaozhou, Peng Yang’s depressed mood was relieved, and he often felt reluctant to leave emotion.

Some people say that he doesn't love money, but he loves money the most in his heart. Some people say that he is not lustful, but in fact he is more lustful than anyone else, so Peng Yi's disguise can't hide it from Lan Tian.

Chapter 771 The Unexpected Visitor from Chengdu

"No, sir. Then Peng Yi's actions against Meng Lang have offended Zhuge Kongming and the King of Hanzhong successively. It is considered benevolent and righteous for you to keep him in Jiaozhou. Would it be too childish to use him as the county guard? This man is not even the prefect of Jiangyang. Jiuzhen and the prefect of Hepu may not be able to catch his eyes." Gao Shun quickly dissuaded him.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "There is a saying in my hometown that 'foreign monks can recite scriptures'. If Peng Yi had no political ambitions, he would not listen to other people's suggestions and ask to be transferred to Jiaozhou as an official. This person still has some talents. It just needs to be polished and let it be a test for the power of the sheriff."

Gao Shun was startled when he heard this, and thought that Buddhism is something that came from here, monks are rare in Middle-earth, how could there be such a saying in Mr.'s hometown.

"Mr. has considered the whole situation. In addition, when Jiaozhou is now employing people, it is understandable to include Peng Yi in the investigation. When Jiaozhi is controlled in the future, the population and money and grain of Jiaozhou will nearly double. The so-called sir The granary will be truly realized, and I really look forward to that day." Gao Shun sighed.

"After the breeding of Champa rice is completed and fully promoted in various places, you will see that the grain warehouses in various places are full." Lan Tian clenched his fists and expressed his confidence.

After Gao Shun listened to the reminder: "Since Champa rice is so miraculous, sir, if it is cultivated outside Guangzhou, will it be stolen to Wei and Soochow? If this thing is shared by the enemy and us, the consequences..."

"If Boping hadn't reminded me in time, I would have almost made a big mistake of 'referring to the enemy'. I will arrange it tomorrow and change the experimental field of Champa rice." Lan Tian looked grateful.

"Why don't you move to Jieyang? The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. In order to protect the kelp, the Wuxi barbarians have kept a close check on outsiders. In addition to cooking rice, agricultural researchers can also bring kelp to raise seedlings. This is the way to kill two birds with one stone." .” Gao Shun made a suggestion.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "It is often said that eggs cannot be put in the same basket at the same time, otherwise they will all be broken if they touch each other. Besides, the environment in Jieyang is not the best in Jiaozhou."

"Sir, what do you mean..." Gao Shun asked.

Lan Tian replied: "Let's put it on Zhuya Island. Li Yi's navy can take care of it. We might as well build an agricultural college on Zhuya Island. While cultivating Champa rice, we can train agricultural students. I wrote several agricultural books in my spare time. It should be enough to be used as a teaching material for the time being.”

"Zhuya Agricultural College? I always knew that one day, if Mr.'s agricultural knowledge is not passed on, it will definitely be a loss to the whole country, but I never thought that you would build it on Zhuya Island." Gao Shun shook his head with a smile.

Lantian Zhengse said: "Zhuya Island has plenty of sunshine, which is very suitable for crop growth. It is very good to have the Agricultural College there, and it is isolated from the world and will not be mixed with fine work."

"Since the master has made a decision, I will send the Wuxi Man from Guangzhou to Zhuya as soon as possible. It has been a few days since the Huben Martial Hall was completed, and they happen to have nothing to do now." Gao Shun replied affirmatively.

"No hurry, let them rest for a few more days." Lan Tian waved his hand lightly.

In the next few days, Gao Shun ordered the soldier Cao to arrange various matters according to Lantian's requirements. Because Gao Shun's personal ability to handle government affairs was also outstanding, he was only in charge of the soldier Cao so that he could handle things with ease. I went to Lantian as a guest, and I enjoyed it even if I didn't speak the whole time.

On June 27, when the passenger ship from Chengdu arrived in Panyu, Lan Tian led Gao Shun, Jiang Wan, and their two sons to meet him at the pier.

I thought Pang Tong, the young phoenix, would come out of the boat, but it turned out to be Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon with a feather fan and a scarf, and General Huwei Zhao Yun led a team to escort him.

"Military division? How could it be you..." Lan Tian greeted Zhuge Liang in surprise.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and stroked his beard: "Ziyu probably guessed it was Shiyuan (Pang Tong)? Hahaha..."

"I can't hide it from you." Lan Tian shook his head.

"Mr. Ziyu..." Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted.

Lan Tian nodded, "Long time no see, General Zilong..."

"Prime Minister, General Zilong..."

"General Gao, don't drive Jiang..."

"Consort, Second Young Master..."

……

A group of people gathered around the pier to exchange greetings, Jiang Wan pointed to the sky and suggested: "It will be noon soon, the sun here is stronger than that in Chengdu, everyone should go back to the city to catch up on the old days?"

"Very good." Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his feather fan, agreeing with Jiang Wan's opinion.

Lan Tian turned around and told Lan Yuan, "Boyang, arrange for someone to open the way."

"Wei." Lan Yuan had just bent down with his fists in his arms, and Lan Ji took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Brother, I will open the way for you..."

"Uh..." Lan Yuan was at a loss.

Lan Tian smiled and waved: "Go..."

Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Ji first, and then turned his head to look at Lan Yuan. Both of them were not too different from him, so he laughed and joked: "The two young masters are really dragons and phoenixes among men. The second young master is almost as good as the son-in-law. I'm afraid it will surpass Yun Chang..."

"I'm ashamed to say that the two children should follow their elder father..." Although Lan Tian said so, he didn't have a trace of inferiority in his heart, which can be regarded as improving the genes of the Lan family.

"Yun Chang, Yi De, and Zi Long are already enemies of ten thousand people. Now that the Lan family has added two more members, Little Wenhou, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? Liang thinks that in a few years, he will be able to point his sword at the mountains and rivers." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

Lan Tian replied mysteriously: "Maybe it won't take that long, military adviser, we will talk about it in detail after we enter the city."

"Oh? Let's go quickly." Zhuge Liang was aroused.

More than a hundred people rode horses out of the port. It was the first time for Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to visit Jiaozhou. They had seen many beautiful scenery along the way, but the grandeur of the sea also made them feel heroic.

The coconut wind and sea charm on the coast made them feel the exotic atmosphere. When they entered the city of Guangzhou, they saw the wide streets and the well-proportioned architectural layout. Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun unconsciously looked at Lantian, thinking that Lantian is the same for urban planning. How powerful?

Under the leadership of Lan Ji, everyone entered through the south gate. Zhao Yun pointed to the wooden sign beside the road and exclaimed: "Military Master, look at the sign..."

"Fengchu Street? Hahaha, it's really easy for Ziyu to choose a name, but it's a pity that the lord didn't let Shiyuan (Pang Tong) come..." Zhuge Liang reined in his horse and laughed.

Lan Tian said meaningfully: "Military commander, don't laugh, the main road in the east of the city is called Wolong Street..."

"Uh... Ziyu, you really... save trouble..." Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly.

There were more than a hundred guards who followed, but only a few dozen horses were left in the central government area. After Zhuge Liang inquired, he found out that in this area full of government offices, horses are not allowed to walk except in special cases, and the feeling of being respected immediately flooded heart.
