Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Lan Yuan sent Zhang Wen and Ji Yan out of the small courtyard, sat next to Lan Tian when he came back, and asked suspiciously: "Father, didn't you promise Gu Yuantan (Gu Yong) not to bring Jiaozhou's policies to Yangzhou? But why now? ..."

"Politics is like this, how can there be nothing static? Everyone should discuss it slowly, and weaken the Jiangdong gentry slowly. Let them go to Guangzhou for a visit, just knocking on the side. After seeing the highly efficient system, I don't believe it will be comprehensive. Vetoed, besides, there are people helping to fuel the flames." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"You mean Zhang Zibu?" Lan Yuan guessed.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively, "A child can be taught."

"If you really want to organize people to go to Guangzhou, you have to send capable people to follow them. My father doesn't have enough people around me now. Ding Chengyuan (Ding Feng) is considered a loyal person. Why don't you let him stay in Chaisang temporarily, and President Song will come back after a hard work. ?” Lan Yuan made a suggestion.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and shook his head, "Ding Feng's previous official position was too low, and he may not be able to convince the public during his stroke. It is safer to keep Song Chen in Yuzhang. I mean Boyang will go for me, and I will also report to your mother and wife. peace."

"Uh... If the baby is gone too, there will be no one around you." Lan Yuan seemed hesitant.

"Boyang, don't worry, I won't be like Sun Ce, besides, you forgot that Yu Zecheng is in the dark? Father is safe in Jianye." Lan Tian looked very calm.

Lan Yuan nodded and replied: "Boy, turn around and tell Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) well, and ask the fallen army to ensure your safety. After listening to General Yu's words last night, I really feel that Jiangdong is more dangerous than the battlefield."

"That's why I want to reform them." Lan Tian's eyes were firm, because he had already thought of breaking the situation.

Not long after, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were ordered to come to see him.

The two sides bowed their hands to salute, and Lantian immediately got straight to the point, expressing his idea of ​​going to Guangzhou for observation. Both Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao felt that the incident happened suddenly, and worried that if they went, they would be trapped in Jiaozhou. At that time, there were no key figures in Jiangdong, so Lantian could do it Do whatever you want?So the two were silent for a long while without speaking.

"What concerns do you two have?" Lan Tian deliberately broke the deadlock.

Gu Yong frowned and asked, "Is this His Majesty's will? I don't know who the government will choose to travel? You know that Jiangdong's government affairs are complicated now. If too many people go to Guangzhou to observe, I am worried that there will be insufficient manpower..."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an. Why did you come here so soon? However, Ji Zixiu is going to Guangzhou to visit the "Lingnan Newspaper". Jianye has worked hard to seal the city, and the right is to go to the mountains and rivers, and you don't have to take it back to Jiangdong." Lan Tian said in a discussing tone.

"Your Majesty is really sympathetic to us. Yuan Tan can just go back and draw up a list. I heard that Guangzhou is beautiful now, and I really want to see it." Zhang Zhao recalled it now, thinking that Lantian is ready to make a move?Then I can help out.

"Alright, I'll make the roster as soon as possible. When will Zixiu (Jiyan) leave?" Gu Yong asked.

"Go early and come back early. When Jiangdong is completely calmed down, everyone will be busy." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

"Wei." Gu Yong cupped his hands and nodded.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said: "Besides going to Guangzhou to observe, there is one more thing to discuss with the two of you."

Chapter 886 It's Not Dead

"I don't know what it is?" Zhang Zhao asked anxiously.

Lan Tian stroked his beard to look at the two of them, and then said seriously: "Although Jianye is now owned by the big man, Sun Quan is still fighting in Wuhui. This place is far away from the Wu Hui, and after the war disaster, it is urgent to recuperate with the people, and the adjustment of the appointment of officials in various yamen may have to be made earlier."

"You mean Yuzhang and Luling?" Gu Yong immediately came to his senses.

"Luling prefect Lu Dai was killed in battle before, and now Guiyang prefect Xi Zhen is serving concurrently. Yuzhang prefect Sun Lin was shot and killed by Xu Sheng, and military control is still in place for the time being. Can anyone recommend them?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Since Yuzhang and Luling were pacified by Sun Ce, they have been under the control of Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers. Officials, productions, and taxes are all in their own hands. They are like a country within a country in Jiangdong, and they are far away from the political and cultural center of Jiangdong. Ben and Sun Fu died one after another, and Sun Quan's control was not strong.

Because Yuzhang and Luling border Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, they have been used as strategic forward areas for a long time under military control, and the Jiangdong gentry have no interest in reaching in. But now that the border threat no longer exists, the two counties have become important areas for profit distribution, but Gu Yong couldn't understand why Lantian would take it out to 'share'.

"Your Majesty came here with a plan, right?" Gu Yong looked at Lan Tian suspiciously, he didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Zhaoben was eager to try, but hearing what Gu Yong said made his heart pound, wondering if Lantian was planning something?

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The population of each county in Yangzhou varies, and the land can be fertile or barren. In fact, it is not necessary for all policies to be the same. The situation in Wujun, Kuaiji, Danyang and other places is similar. I don't intend to change the old system of the Han Dynasty. But the situation in Yuzhang and Luling counties is special, where the people are tough, and there are often riots in the mountains, so most of the people are exiled to other places, so I want to bring the new system of Jiaozhou to these two counties to try."

"Your Majesty, will this...will be gradually implemented in the whole Yangzhou in the future?" Gu Yong suddenly became vigilant.

"Of course not, and His Majesty will not agree." Lan Tian's eyes were clear, and he slapped his chest.

"In front of Mr. Zibu, I believe that the governor can promise a thousand dollars. Yong knows very little about the new system of Jiaozhou. Please discuss with the governor and Zibu. I will go back and select the personnel to go to Guangzhou, so I will leave." Gu Yong got up and said goodbye to the two. People salute, saying in their hearts that we will not take advantage of you.

Gu Yongzhi behaved calmly because he saw that he was an accompanying guest. Lan Tian wanted to reward the Huaisi faction headed by Zhang Zhao. Sun Quan lost more and more victories in foreign wars these years, and those generals from Huaisi were killed one after another. , died of illness, and now it is impossible to check and balance the local gentry, so there is no need to fight.

Seeing Gu Yong stepping over the threshold of the front yard, Zhang Zhao asked meaningfully: "Do you want to use Yuzhang and Luling to set up a bureau? But the foundation of the Jiangdong gentry is in Wu County..."

Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "Infighting is not beneficial to the country. I plan to separate you forcibly. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to perform their duties?"

"This?" Zhang Zhao frowned, and then questioned his soul: "The old man made such a big determination, but was chased away by those people? The Fu Jun's move made Zhao unconvinced..."

"Haha, Mr. Zibu is really impatient. Who said that leaving means losing? Didn't you hear that 'Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong Er was safe outside?' Your majesty's ambition is the whole world, and the southeast corner is only a small pond, How big a wave do you think Pan can make?" Lan Tian laughed out loud, stroked his beard.

"Zhao is a humble man, and I don't have the high opinion of the government, please make it clear..." Zhang Zhao clasped his fists respectfully after hearing this.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "The Huaisi people are declining now, and they are just like Sun Quan in forcing Jiangdong to stay. There is really no point in insisting. It is better to leave earlier and find another place."

"Other places refer to Yuzhang and Luling?" Zhang Zhao asked meaningfully.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "Yuzhang and Luling are the only ones. Your Majesty only has these two counties? Jiaozhou has developed very well in recent years. Although it has used the school to train a large number of talents, it is still far from the final saturation, especially An experienced and talented official, why don't Zibu take advantage of this visit to Guangzhou and send some people to take a look, maybe some people will be willing to stay; besides, in the center of Chang'an, the capital city, no one wants to be closer to His Majesty? In the future, the Huaisi region will definitely be conquered, so it’s okay for you to return to your homeland, and if you really want to stay, you won’t be forced to.”

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful, leaving is indeed the best choice, but it will be cheaper for them..." Zhang Zhao was still aggrieved.

"Not necessarily." Lan Tian stretched out his finger and shook it, "Jiangdong is like this palm, counting and counting, there are only five fingers, even if all the local nobles are left, one day the fingers will not be enough, don't forget where to wave your hand , Whether to make a fist or a palm, you have to listen to me in the end." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

"Your Majesty really lives up to the name of Xuan Owl. You are the best in Yangmou. I am convinced now." Zhang Zhao bowed and saluted.

Lan Tian was noncommittal, and continued: "Where to go, think about it when you go back, I will transfer Luling prefect from Jiaozhou, and leave Yuzhang to my husband to arrange, but the administration must be consistent with Jiaozhou."

"Everything is arranged by the Lord." Zhang Zhao replied solemnly.

To hold a small meeting for major events, Lan Tian reached an agreement with Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, which determined the future direction of Jiangdong.

In the evening, the battle report from the front line of Dantu was sent. Sun Shao relied on the strong water fortress to defend, but Lu Xun was familiar with the weakness of the water fortress. Gan Ning divided his troops ashore to contain it according to the plan. Wu Jun captured Sun Quan.

After reading the battle report, Lan Yuan said happily: "Dantu is the barrier leading to Wu County. When the Dantu soldiers are taken down and come to Wu County, Lu Boyan will raise his arms at that time. How can Sun Quan hold it at the end of his crossbow? It seems that within a few days Jiangdong can be settled, and I don't know how His Majesty will deal with Sun Quan."

"It's not a big problem to pacify Jiangdong in a few days, but it's not certain whether we can capture Sun Quan..." Lan Tian shook his head lightly.

Lan Yuan looked surprised, "Could it be possible that Sun Quan would die for his country? Even for Mrs. Sun's sake, His Majesty would spare his life. I think he is not so brave."

Lan Tian pointed to the map of Yangzhou in front of him and analyzed, "Wu County is so close to the sea, and Sun Quan has a warship in his hands, it is very likely that he will go into exile at sea. Even if the rest of his life is harder, it is better than being a prisoner and suffering all the humiliation..."

"But the sea is vast, where can Sun Quan go? Inland river warships are easy to capsize." Lan Yuan was puzzled.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled slightly: "Then no one will know. They may find an island to live in, or they may become pirates. In short, it is absolutely impossible to make a comeback."

"It's a pity that the thief chief is gone, should we send someone to Dantu to remind Sun Quan that he might escape?" Lan Yuan asked.

"The sea is vast and boundless, how can it be stopped? In addition, when Ruxu is stationed in Lu Xun's trilogy, he has to send an order to recruit someone to surrender. When our naval army finishes cleaning up Sun Quan, we must immediately rush to Huainan and put the pressure on Cao Pi." Lan Tian The expression is stern.

"I'll do it right away, baby." Lan Yuan responded with cupped fists.

Chapter 887 The Golden Wind Turns the Leaves and Falls

Gan Ning and Lu Xun captured the Dantu water village before Jianye's express boat arrived at the front line. They thought it would be a tough battle, but the people guarding the water village were all old and weak.

Lu Xun sailed into the water village in a battleship, and after meeting Gan Ning, he sighed: "The lights in the water village were not dimmed last night. I thought Sun Shao would stick to it, but I didn't expect to run away."

"The Sun family is already a cornered beast. If they don't run away, they will be captured. General Lu left 2000 men to garrison. We will go directly to Wu County and capture Sun Quan so that we can return to Mr. Gan Ning." Gan Ning didn't care.

Lu Xun then made a suggestion: "We will go to Wu County for three hundred miles. General Gan can continue to march by land, and collect Qu'a, Piling, Wuxi and other counties along the way. At the end, we will block the mouth of Songjiang River by water. We will finally join forces in Wu County."

"With the help of Shiyi (Lu Ju) and Gongxu (Luo Tong), we should be able to easily conquer the cities along the way. Then we will see you in Wu County." When Gan Ning was speaking, he deliberately glanced at Su Fei, signaling Su Fei to be alert to Lu Xun .

"See you in Wu County." Lu Xun clasped his fists in return.

Su Fei and Gan Ning, who have been friends for many years, can understand with a simple glance, that Lu Xun's surrender was too hasty, even with Lan Tian's letter as a guarantee, it is too difficult for Gan Ning to be completely at ease.

The two soldiers and horses parted ways in Dantu immediately, and Gan Ning marched on the densely populated land, passing by many villages and cities in a mess, as if he had just experienced a military disaster.

When Gan Ning was resting in Qu'a, looking at the bleak scene in front of him, he couldn't help asking Luo Tong: "It is said that Jiangdong Wu County is rich and prosperous, why are there thieves in this place?"

"Shanyue bandits are hiding in the southern mountains, and they will never come to these places..." Luo Tong didn't understand either.

Gan Ning asked again: "I haven't seen any young people anywhere. Could it be that they were recruited by Sun Quan? How many people are you going to be buried with?"

"Uh... there is indeed such a possibility..." Luo Tong was embarrassed, and suddenly saw Lu Ju coming back from riding a horse, so he pointed to the front and changed the topic: "Shi Yi came back from investigating information, and he will know the truth soon."

Lu Ju arrived in no time, clasped his fists and bowed to the two: "General Gan, Gong Xu..."

"What's the situation? Why are there no young people? They were taken away by Sun Quan?" Luo Tong asked eagerly.

"Sun Quan not only conscripted the young and strong, but even the young girls and young women were not spared, and the money and food from the city treasury were taken..." Lu Ju's voice was very low, and he was ashamed to say Sun Quan's name.

"What? How is this different from a robber? The purple-bearded rat's wives and concubines are trapped in Jianye, and they still want to find beauty among the people at this time? I don't know what to say about him. He deserved to end up like this..." Luo Tong stomped his feet angrily .

"Heh... who knows..." Lu Ju shook his head and smiled wryly.

After hearing this, Gan Ning said solemnly: "Since the people have been looted by Sun Quan, let's try not to disturb the people when we pass by. They are now under the rule of the master, and they will use the compressed army rations to satisfy their hunger for a few days. When Wu County is destroyed, we will reward the three armies."

"Wei." Luo Tong and Lu Ju clasped their fists at the same time.

Gan Ning encountered no resistance along the way, and Lu Xun's waterway was unimpeded. When the fleet reached the mouth of the Songjiang River, they didn't find a single ship, so they had a bad feeling.

When Lu Xun's ship sailed into Zhenze (Taihu Lake), not to mention a warship, he didn't even see a larger fishing boat during the march. He confirmed his conjecture, and Sun Quan ran away.

On September [-]th, Lu Xun arrived in Wu County three days earlier than Gan Ning. He also saw the scene on Gan Ning Road. His eyes were filled with desolation and dilapidation.

Under the empty city gate, the golden wind rolled the fallen leaves and fluttered them. Lu Xun raised his head and let out a long sigh, and rode his horse into his hometown.

When Lu Xun entered Wu County, Sun Quan had already led a vast fleet, sailing northward along the offshore sea, and at this time came to the waters near Yandu.

Sun Quan personally commanded hundreds of warships, drove tens of thousands of large fishing boats, and marched like migratory birds. Except for the remaining 3 soldiers, the remaining 7 to [-] young men and women were forcibly recruited during this period. , even if Sun Quan was in exile in despair, he managed to collect a hundred thousand.

Since Sima Shi proposed to go to Liaodong, Sun Quan instructed his resourceful adopted son to start preparations, thinking that it would be better to take the people with him than to rely on others, so that he could be self-sufficient in times of crisis.

"Gu has always taken this step. Does Marquis Wen regret staying with me? If you return to the Central Plains with your younger brother Zhao, you won't have to drift on the sea. The distant relatives of the Sima family in the Central Plains should take care of your brother, maybe there will be A stable home..." Sun Quan glanced at the south, and then said frustrated words to Master Sima.

Return to the Central Plains?

Sima Shi shook his head and smiled wryly, glanced at his crotch, and thought that if the two brothers walked together, maybe his one would completely burn out the incense.

"Father, please don't say that. My home is where my wife (Sun Luban) is. It's a pity that my aunt (Bu Lianshi) is stuck in Jianye..." Master Sima lowered his head and sighed.

"With the prince and the tiger staying by my side, Gu is already very fortunate and content. I won't mention your aunt..." Sun Quan looked at the densely packed fishing boats and thought to himself that finding a young woman is not easy?

"I have asked many fishermen about the wind and waves at sea in autumn and winter, but the wind and waves become weaker as you go north, so I suggest not to walk too fast, and find a landing spot early at night." Sima Shi said with his hands clasped.

Sun Quan then added: "In addition to anchoring, the ships must be deep. It is best to connect the ships with ropes to prevent them from being overturned by the waves at night."

"Well, the boy will arrange for the boat to dock later." Master Sima nodded slightly.

After Sun Quan gave up Lu Xun, he regarded Sima Shi as his confidant and think tank, and consulted him on matters no matter how big or small. Now the more he looks at this son-in-law, the more pleasing to his eyes.

If there was no 'Marquis Wu' Sima Shi, Sun Quan probably would not have gone north, but would have taken these people to find an unnamed deserted island to end the remaining time of King Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"By the way, I just think of the Yuan family's demise in the past. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang also fled to Liaodong, and were finally defeated by Gongsun Kangxiao. How does Marquis Wen think Gongsun Gong will treat orphans? If Gongsun's family is like this, don't we Goats in the mouth of tigers?" Thinking of this, Sun Quan's face suddenly became heavy.

Master Sima thought for a while, and then replied: "We are slightly different from the Yuan family now. Besides, the situation in Jiangdong has not been spread to Liaodong for half a year. As long as the adoptive father does not show up easily, we will use the excuse of the two companies to do business and buy money." Ma, maybe we can attack Liaodong with a false way, and Wei Guo is our ally, Gongsun Gong should not be so rude."

"Fake ways to attack Guo?" Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zhou Yu's surprise attack on Jiangling, and thought that this strategy was not very effective, and then frowned again: "We are bringing tens of thousands of people, how can Gongsun Gong not be suspicious?"

"Father, don't worry, when we get to the border of Qingzhou, we can just stay in the barren beach temporarily. If the local defenders find out, we can lie that we have Cao Pi's permission, and maybe there will be food and grass assistance..." Sima Shi had already Thought of countermeasures.

"Shan, I have Marquis Wen, like a fish in water." Sun Quan smiled gratifiedly.

However, the thoughts are very full, but the reality is extremely skinny.

A huge fleet of tens of thousands of ships sailed on the sea for half a month, and finally approached Donglai, Qingzhou, but due to successive waves of wind and waves, half of the ships were overturned in the sea, and tens of thousands of young men and women who were forced to come here were too late Play the Titanic and die in the ocean.

Just when Sun Quan's confidence was hit, a small fleet from across the sea gave King Wei Wu another choice.

The sailors in this fleet were dressed in simple clothes, had very strange hairstyles, and spoke a barbarian language that Sun Quan could not understand. Only a few of the hundreds of people could speak Chinese.

Seeing Sun Quan's huge fleet, the Yi people seemed to see a god, and claimed to be the messenger of Queen Himiko.

Chapter 888 Lan Tian Skillfully Transforms Private Soldiers

Sun Quan took the remnants of his troops into exile and his future was uncertain. Before he left, he ransacked all parts of Wu County like robbers. He killed Zhu Zhi, the prefect who had served for 30 years, Wu Can, the prefect of Kuaiji, was recruited by Lu Xun.

In September, Sun Quan managed all the counties and counties in Yangzhou that he had managed for 20 years, and all of them changed their ways and became ministers of the Han family.

During this period of time in Lantian, he often had contact with Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, Zhang Zhao and others, and gradually found a balance between the Jiangdong and Huaisi factions. After Gan Ning and Lu Xun led their troops back to Jianye, they immediately announced the appointment of the prefects of each county. .

Wu Can, the former prefect of Kuaiji, led the county as before. He appointed Kan Ze as the prefect of Wujun, Lu Ji as the prefect of Danyang, Yan Qian as the prefect of Yuzhang, Tan Dingzhou as the prefect of Luling, and Gan Ningyao as the prefect of Lujiang.

In addition to Lujiang County, which was still in the hands of the State of Wei, among the five counties actually controlled by the original Soochow, three counties were handed over to the Jiangdong gentry.

Tan Dingzhou managed well in Longchuan and Jieyang, and Lantian fulfilled the promise made many years ago by the prefect. Tan Dingzhou became the pride and role model of the Yue people in Jiaozhou. , Gradually also had an impact on Yamagoshi.

More than 50 officials were selected by each yamen, and under the leadership of Lanyuan, they have already set off for Guangzhou. The waterway from Jianye to Guangzhou is long and detours around Jiangxia, Changsha, and Lingling. It will take several months to go back and forth, so Lantian recommends using The combination of water and land, that is, Dai Liang's "invasion" of Guangzhou's marching route.

The waterway starts from Jianye, enters Ganshui through the Yangtze River, and arrives at Nanye County, then goes ashore to Qujiang, Zhenyang, crosses Weipuguan and enters Jiaozhou. It takes no more than a month for one side.

Because Lantian's "base camp" is in Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou will have very close contacts, and Luling, as a "water and land transportation hub", is extremely important in terms of geographical location, and caravans will accelerate the prosperity of this area. Lantian wants to use his own reasons, but unfortunately neither the Jiangdong gentry nor the Huaisi faction can see through.

Gan Ning rested in Jianye for a few days, and Lantian sent him to lead the navy to Ruxu, waiting for an opportunity to launch a small-scale attack on the Lujiang River, similar to Zhang Fei's bluff in Tianshui, exhausting Wei's army with small consumption, while the counties of Yangzhou Take time to recuperate.

Commander Gan Ning's [-] navy army to destroy Wu was composed of Jiaozhou, Wuchang, and Jiangxia. Now that there is no fighting on the Yangtze River, Jiangxia and Wuchang lost the necessity of garrisoning troops. Lantian arranged for Su Fei to bring Jiangxia soldiers to assist Xiangyang. Suppress the small number of naval troops stationed in Wancheng by Wenpin.
