Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Sir, you are unparalleled in resourcefulness, and you must have a good strategy if you think about it." Hu Ke clasped his fists as a compliment.

Lan Yuan suddenly spoke up and asked, "Father, now that Jiangdong is about to be pacified, when will General Hu restore his real name?"

After hearing this, Lan Tian twitched his beard and asked Hu Ke meaningfully: "When do you think it's appropriate?"

"Uh... the last general was born in Lishu, and there were not many people in his family, but he died one after another in the plague war. If he hadn't been farming with his husband in Xinye, he would have starved to death, so it doesn't matter what his surname is..." Hu Ke Shaking his head slightly.

"Since you are known by Yu Xiu, you can still use it for the time being, and wait until the world is settled before changing back to your original surname."

Chapter 883 This is called a professional Song Gongming

Hu Ke smiled and shook his head: "The last general's ancestors are all Li Shu, so there is no need to keep the original surname. There are many people in this world who change their surnames and names. Why bother?"

"Everything is according to what you mean. The Zhang family was originally a big family in Jiangdong. Now I am forcibly holding it up as a role model. It can quickly convert the rest of the gentry and help me secretly in the name of Yu Xiu. If it is forcibly changed back to the original name, it may make people lose their lives. These people are wary, it's hard work." Lan Tian explained solemnly.

"The life of the general belongs to Mr., don't say such unreasonable words anymore, only Yu Xiu is in front of Mr., don't be mistaken as the eldest son." Hu Ke replied firmly.

"Okay." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

"It's getting late now, so it's inconvenient for Yu Xiu to disturb Mr. and Young Master's rest. Let me take my leave." Hu Ke got up and cupped his fists to leave.

Lan Tian waved to Lan Yuan, "Bo Yang, go see General Yu off."

"only."

After a while, Lan Yuan and Lan Ji went back to the house at the same time, while Lan Tian was still thinking.

"Father, the situation in Jiangdong is so complicated. Are you troubled?" Lan Yuan asked in a low voice.

Lan Ji didn't take it lightly and said: "There are still things in the world that father can't solve? Uncle admires father the most. Big brother, don't be frowning."

"Zhong Ling, you don't know what's going on..." Lan Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Lan Ji thumped his chest and said: "I think that governing a region is like leading troops to fight. As long as you know the people and use them well, you can put the right people in the right place, and they will naturally play a role. Those who have meritorious deeds will be rewarded and those who have made mistakes will be punished. In the shooting competition on the warship, all the soldiers in the battalion rejoiced, and the last one either realized his shame and stood up bravely, or he was kicked out of the team, and it didn’t feel too difficult.”

"It's too one-sided. Being able to govern is different from governing well. Father's requirements are never low. Zhongling, you are still too young..." Lan Yuan sighed.

Lan Ji still wanted to refute, but Lan Tian stretched out his hand to stop him, "Father already has a draft, you brothers don't need to argue, time will prove whether the deal is successful, everyone should rest earlier."

"Wei." The two brothers clasped their fists and left.

Not long after the brothers of the Lan family left, Lan Yuan suddenly left and came back, calling out, "Father, Jiang Cheng and Chaisang report urgently."

"Let's talk about Jiang Cheng's situation first." Lan Tian stood up abruptly.

Lan Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Gan marched into Jiangcheng today. Luo Tong and Zhu Ju persuaded Lu Xun to surrender. Because Lu Xun knew the defense of the Wu army, he suggested to fight Dantu. Uncle Gan was worried that Lu Xun might be cheating, so he came here to ask for instructions. Father."

"Lu Xun surrendered? Luo Tong and Zhu Ju have some skills." Lan Tian was very surprised.

"I heard that Jiang Cheng's garrison did not resist, and that Lu Xun also surrendered on his own initiative. It seems that there is something hidden in it." Lan Yuan replied truthfully.

"Lu Boyan is such a wonderful person. It seems that he doesn't plan to meet me empty-handed. He probably wants to find a nomination certificate and reply to General Gan. I will guarantee him." Lan Tianxin said that he didn't join Liangshan, and Lu Xun must be a wild story. Is it too much?

"Father, you all recognize Lu Xun as a great talent. What if he pretends to surrender and lures General Gan into the ambush circle? Back then, Huang Gai was Cao Ying who pretended to surrender and set fire to the boat..." Lan Yuan said to the martial arts hall The analysis of the battle, in turn, warned Lan Tian.

Lan Tian was very pleased to see that Lan Yuan knew how to learn from the past and the present. He thought that Huang Gai was not the only one who made false surrenders during the Three Kingdoms period. Later Zhou Fang and Jiang Wei also played this trick.

"Hahaha, if it were someone else, maybe I would still be suspicious, but Lu Xun definitely won't."

"Why?"

Lan Tian suddenly became serious, "I have taught you many times to look at things comprehensively. Now Lu Xun's family is trapped in Jianye, and this person shoulders the important task of Lu family's prosperity. Does Boyang think he has the courage to pay for the whole family? Even Xingba's [-] to [-] sailors have been damaged, so Sun Quan's remaining mob can drive me out of Jianye?"

"You mean that Lu Xun will be wary? Hostages will indeed affect the judgment of soldiers." Lan Yuan nodded slightly.

"To win a war, in addition to considering factors such as military strength, food, climate, terrain, etc., you must also know more about the character and family situation of the enemy's general. Any small detail may determine the outcome of the war."

"The boy knows."

"What's going on with Chaisang? Mutiny?"

Lantian surrendered tens of thousands of rebels in Yichun, but did not bring all of them back to Jianye. More than half of them were stationed in Chaisang, and let the resourceful Song Chen lead them. Turning his back on the battlefield, he thought that the soldiers had mutinied in this urgent report.

Lan Yuan quickly shook his head, "After we left Chaisang, Wu Ban and Zhu Ran also rushed to meet up. At present, Chaisang's garrison is close to [-]. Firstly, the daily military food consumption is too large, and secondly, there are too many troops. It is easy to manage, and I am really worried that the army will be stationed for too long, and there will be a risk of mutiny."

"Song Chen doesn't just ask questions, since he took the initiative to send me a letter, he should have attached suggestions?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Yes, General Wu is under the command of Lingling County soldiers. It is recommended to send them to Xiangyang to General Guan. He sent them to Xinbei last year anyway, and now he is familiar with sending them. In addition, he will send one or two loyal generals to Chai. Sang will help you, so you will be safe." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and replied.

"This is called professionalism. After all, he is Hu Ke's adjutant. The reconnaissance battalion with hundreds of people appeared at the same time..." When Lan Tian was talking to himself, he found that Lan Yuan was looking at him, so he changed the subject: "Song Chen His suggestion is very pertinent, Chengyuan (Ding Feng) did not go out with Xingba, let him go to Chaisang, as long as the news of Lu Xun's surrender is passed on, those Jiangdong soldiers should not have the intention to make trouble."

"Where's General Wu Ban?" Lan Yuan asked again.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "Yuanxiong (Wu Ban) is a steady general. He has been sending recruits to the front line. It's really overkill. I don't know if Lao Sha has sent troops. You can't have unscrupulous generals in command. Wait for me to write a book." Entrusted to Gong Yan (Jiang Wan), Yuan Xiong will be the prefect, and there is no danger."

"Ah? The county soldiers from Lingling..."

"Let Zhongling send it to Xiangyang."

Lan Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and quickly advised: "Jiangdong has not been pacified, and this place is also a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, so father should keep his second brother by his side, why not let Gaoling go for a while?"

"It's not that serious. It was originally estimated that Jiangdong would be pacified by the end of September. Now that Lu Boyan has joined, I believe the time will be greatly advanced. Now Jianye has your army in the formation, and Hu... Yu Xiu's Xiefanwei, your second brother has no How much room to use, instead of staying here to waste time, it is better to go to Jingzhou to help earlier, the battle situation in Yunchang is fiercer than that in Jiangdong." Lan Tian stroked his beard.

"It's true...it's just that it's rare to fight side by side with the second brother, and it's not long before we have to be separated. I really don't want to part with it." Lan Yuan's face was full of bitterness.

Lan Tian patted Lan Yuan's arm lightly, "Life is like this, parting and reunion, reunion and parting, just let it be, go to Zhongling to say goodbye, and write a letter to Gongyan (Jiang Wan) as a father."

"only."

Chapter 884 Zhang Wen Recommends a Journalist

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian postponed the originally scheduled court meeting and went to the pier to see him off in person.

After the baptism of war in the youth battalion, Wu Baierlang is no longer a martial arts boy. Not only are they brave and fearless in combat, but they all have theoretical knowledge. Once expanded, they can directly serve as officers.

"I see that your soldiers look very good. Huben Martial Hall can no longer teach you. From now on, you will no longer be a student of Martial Hall. When you arrive in Xiangyang, you can follow General Guan's orders." Lan Tian tidied up his clothes for Lan Ji, looking It is full of kindness.

Lan Ji grinned his teeth and joked with Lan Tian, ​​"Uncle Gao said that this is an out-of-class assessment, do you want to go back and let him test it again?"

"Just pass the test for your father. Although Boping is the general of the Wutang, don't forget that I am the deputy prefect of the Wutang, you little devil..." Lan Tian patted Lan Ji's helmet with his feet, and said to himself Why is this kid jumping higher and higher, wondering if he made basketball out of it?The two kids in the family should be able to dunk.

"Hey, what does father have to say to uncle?" Lan Ji asked with a smile.

"Now that Yangzhou belongs to the Han Dynasty, I will soon be able to relieve the crisis in Jingzhou and let him take time to recuperate and train. The next time Jingzhou and Huainan raise troops at the same time, I am afraid that Cao Pi will not be able to stop it and help His Majesty recover. The Central Plains is just around the corner." Lan Tian said seriously.

Lan Ji nodded solemnly, "Okay, okay, my boy will tell my uncle every word."

"Father, Zhongling's marriage..."

"The child is still young..."

Lan Yuan deliberately placed himself on the premise of others, so that the second monk Lan Jizhang was puzzled, thinking that my younger brother, I am still young, and now that my parents are here, how can I be the eldest brother to urge the marriage?

Lan Ji originally thought that Lan Tian would prevaricate for him, but unexpectedly he nodded in agreement with Lan Yuan: "Bo Yang is right, he got married when he was your age, but Yin Ping is younger, so it doesn't matter if we wait any longer , I think it will be two years later, when you go back, remember to tell Yun Chang."

"Ah? My child hasn't accomplished an inch..." Lan Ji opened his mouth wide.

"How much credit do you need? You can't let Yinping wait any longer, can you? That's the deal." Lan Tian made a final decision.

"Uh... my boy wants to attack Luoyang..."

Lan Ji muttered in a low voice, but Lan Tian listened to him seriously, so he affirmed loudly: "You don't need to hide your ambitions. This time, I will go back and help Yun Chang. I will marry you in Luoyang in two years."

"Oh." Lan Ji nodded.

Lan Tian rode a horse and headed towards the warship on the river, and finally the boat carrying Lan Ji and Ding Feng was covered by reeds and disappeared in the eyes of Lan Tian and his son.

"I set a wedding date for Zhongling, and my mother will be happy to know that, let's go back to the city now, the ministers may still be waiting for you." Lan Yuan reminded softly.

"Hmm..." When Lan Tian grabbed the reins, he suddenly remembered that Deng Ai was not married, and thought that he would write the memorial and return to Chang'an in two days, and he would mention this matter to Liu Bei alone. That child made great contributions to Ziwuling, Liu Bei should be willing to point him to a marriage.

It was nearly noon before the father and son returned to the Wu Palace. They were told that the ministers of Eastern Wu were waiting in the palace yesterday, so Lan Tian asked Yu Xiu to send someone to buy some ingredients. He planned to discuss political affairs with the ministers while eating shabu-shabu.

It was no secret that Lantian saw his son off, so Jiangdong's officials didn't complain at all, and when they met again, they all had smiles on their faces.

"Yesterday, everyone had a very happy conversation at the welcome banquet. Many people couldn't help reporting government affairs. Today we will have a good chat. In addition, we will not be indecent. I have prepared Jingzhou special shabu-shabu, so you don't have to worry about being hungry." Stomach, let’s start while the kitchen is still preparing the dishes.” Lan Tian showed a pleasant expression.

"I don't know what the Fujun wants to hear?" Zhang Zhao pretended to be the head of civil servants.

"The affairs of a state are complicated and chaotic, so I won't talk about the specific affairs first. You can talk about the household registration and taxation of each county first, so that I can know the income of Jiangdong. In addition, I also want to know the expenditure of each government office. Since Your Majesty asked me to come When Yangzhou is home, the income and expenditure must be clear." Lan Tian hit the nail on the head.

"Household registration and taxation are in Shangshutai. Yuan Tan has prepared them early, and let the officials of various ministries report according to the policy." Zhang Zhao signaled Gu Yong and said.

Gu Yongxin said, what is your identity?How to give orders like a eunuch?Can't you see Lord Lan Fu getting close to the nobles?He immediately arranged for his subordinates to report the data of each county and county one by one. After listening to it for a while, Lan Tian found that the income and expenditure of each county were too chaotic.

On the way, the shabu-shabu was brought to the main hall, and everyone was eating and chatting very comfortably, but later, due to disputes over the expenditure data of some yamen, several yamen chiefs argued with each other, Lan Tian sat at the head and yawned, thinking that Sun Quan was like this 'Prison'?

After finally finishing talking about the expenditure part, there is still the largest military expenditure part. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Lan Tian quickly reached out to stop him: "Everyone listened to me all afternoon. I don’t know how you feel. Anyway, my mind is buzzing , I think the military department will be delayed for a few days."

"It's normal for the Fujun to be busy when he first came to Yangzhou. You should have learned about it earlier, and then assign tasks to us. At that time, it will be handy. Work harder now, and relax later." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands to advise.

Lan Tian sternly said: "It's not that I'm being lazy and find it hard work, but the fact is that the consumption of each battalion is quite different. Generals such as Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) and Zi Huang (Quan Cong) are not familiar with the entire Jiangdong army. Wait a few days for Lu Boyan to return from victory and find He’s going to get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Dadu...Bo Yan..." Gu Yong stood up excitedly.

Lan Tian waved his hand to signal Gu Yong to sit down, "Bo Yan led his troops to surrender in Jiangcheng yesterday, and now he is attacking Dantu with General Gan. I believe he will be able to capture Sun Quan and return in a few days. He should be most familiar with Yangzhou military affairs."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes... No one is more familiar with him..." Gu Yong quickly echoed.

Zhang Zhao looked at Gu Yong contemptuously, and said to himself that you said that Lu Xun was capable of turning the tide, but in the end, you voted after losing just one time?I see who will talk about the old man in the future.

"While there is still some time, I would like to announce something to you all." Lan Tian's words immediately revived the crowd, thinking that there is finally something to be arranged?

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Lan Tian smiled and explained: "Everyone knows what a newspaper is. The people of Yangzhou have been watching "Yangtze River News" and "Lingnan News" for a long time, so I plan to run a newspaper in Jiangdong, but who will do it? As the head of the newspaper, I need you to recommend someone for me."

Newspapers are not a new thing now. Everyone knows that they can guide public opinion and even criticize people.

"My lord, I have someone to choose, please consider it." When everyone was still whispering, Zhang Wen stood in the hall early.

Lan Tian smiled all over his face, "Who does Huishu recommend?"

"Wu Jun Jiyan, Ji Zixiu, this talent is outstanding, upright, and he may be able to do a good job for the government." Zhang Wen replied seriously.

"Hehe, Ji Zixiu is a candidate, do you have any other candidates?" Lan Tian waved his hand to signal Zhang Wen to sit down.

Everyone in the hall didn't respond. They thought that the Zhang family and Lan Tian were close and wanted to take over the important task, but they didn't expect Zhang Wen to push it to his friend Jiyan.

Upon seeing this, Lan Tian made a final decision: "Since everyone thinks that Ji Zixiu is suitable, I will appoint him as the head of the Yangzhou newspaper and ask him to come see me tomorrow."

"Wei." Zhang Wen nodded in reply.

"Your Majesty, I heard that running the newspaper consumes a lot of money. I don't know the income and expenditure of the Yangzhou newspaper..." Gu Yong hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Jiaozhou newspaper is very mature, there is no problem with the balance of payments, and there will be surplus in the later stage. I will transfer people to help later, it's not that complicated."

Chapter 885 The Angry Youth Retreats and Is Not Pragmatic

Although Yangzhou was not as prosperous as Yiguan's south crossing at this time, it was no worse than Jingnan and Jiaozhou under Lantian's original rule. The fertile land raised a denser population.

Jiangdong originally had the background to contend for the world, but because of the long-term oppression of the gentry and the Sun clan's self-indulgence in pleasure, Jiangdong has been in a state of being unable to make ends meet for a long time. The national strength is the weakest existence of the Sun, Cao and Liu families. Even if Lantian does not take the initiative to send troops at this time, Sun Quan also couldn't survive to the end like the original history.

Lan Tian kept a smile on his face while listening to the report, but he was determined in his heart to change the previous situation, but brutal killing like Sun Ce was not advisable, nor was it advisable to strike a balance like Sun Quan. He wanted to solve it in a more secure way, and Lan Ji's unintentional words at the time gave Lan Tian the inspiration to break the situation.

Lan Tian once said that Jiangdong is not peaceful, and all government rules will be implemented as usual for the time being, and some core issues will be pushed to Liu Bei's sanction, because the collapse of the Sun regime will pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, leaving a lot of benefits that need to be redistributed, such as the Sun family circle The land occupied, the titles and food towns bestowed by Sun Quan all take time to slowly digest, and if they are not handled properly, it is easy to bury the seeds of disaster. Therefore, the reform he first proposed was a seemingly innocuous newspaper.

After breakfast the next day, Zhang Wen brought Ji Yan to the door according to an appointment. Lan Tian saw that he was tall and thin, giving off the feeling that he was full of ambitions but had no ambitions.

Through a few words in the history books, Lan Tian knew that Ji Yan was a low EQ, but an upright 'angry youth'. Unfortunately, Sun Quan forced him to commit suicide in the end.

Ji Yan's character is upright and upright. Although he is praised for his character, he is immature when used in politics. A celebrity like him who is easy to discuss and criticize people is more suitable for pragmatic propaganda. , is the best candidate to host the newspaper, and Lan Tian is very enthusiastic when he sees him.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to run the newspaper well, and I will definitely live up to your trust." Ji Yan didn't say a few words of greeting, and began to show her loyalty to Lan Tian.

Lan Tian responded with a smile at first, and then said seriously: "I am naturally full of confidence in the people recommended by Huishu. The role of newspapers is not only to educate the people and convey news, but also to criticize the current situation and expose the mistakes of the government. In another form Supervising officials, I will inevitably offend some people in the future, is Zixiu ready?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yan will go all out." Ji Yan was envious of Liao Li and others, who could freely comment on people and things in the newspaper. Even if Liao Li scolded Sun Quan and Cao Cao directly, the other party could only be helpless and furious. Lan Tian's arrangement was actually in the hands of Jiyan, even if he didn't remind him, he would take care of it.

"I look forward to Yangzhou Daily's great success." Lan Tian nodded gratified.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yan has a passion for running a newspaper, but after all, she has never done it before, I don't know..." Ji Yan hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zixiu, when Jiangdong is completely calmed down, I will organize some people to go to Guangzhou to observe and learn Jiaozhou's governance strategy, and selectively use some in Jiangdong. You will also go with the team when the time comes. Select personnel from Lingnan Daily to help, and you will eventually find that it is very easy to run a newspaper.”

"That's great." Ji Yan was overjoyed.

Lan Tian said to Zhang Wen: "Huishu, I won't go to the palace to discuss matters today, please tell the officials after you go out, let them perform their duties as usual, and let Zibu (Zhang Zhao) and Yuan Tan (Gu Yong) come here."

"Your Majesty has done the right thing. Government affairs are in such a mess now. It won't be too late to deal with them when the dust settles. Zixiu and I will leave first, and Zhang Gu will arrive later." Zhang Wen stood up to say goodbye while speaking, still cum in excitement Yan followed closely behind.

"Boyang, send it off for me."

"only."
