Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

The three tribes of Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Lan Yuan fought more and more bravely, and cooperated with each other very tacitly.

The joining of Jia Kui and Man Chong did not stop the defeat. Xia Houshang abandoned Shouchun after the defeat in early May and fled north to Yuzhou. The split Yangzhou was restored to integrity in the hands of Lantian.

The news of Huainan's great victory spread back to Jianye, and the people and gentry in Jiangdong rejoiced as if they were celebrating the new year. From then on, they could enjoy peace and no longer worry about Wei's military threat.

In the past two years, Lantian has lived in harmony with the Jiangdong gentry. The fresh seeds he buried in Yuzhang and Luling took root and sprouted. Jiaozhou's advanced system has improved governance capabilities, and Guangzhou's targeted assistance to Luling has given local people confidence in life The enthusiasm for production has increased, and the tax revenue of the government has also increased.

Champa rice, which was successfully trial-planted in Luling, has now been popularized and planted in Yuzhang. It has fewer diseases and insect pests, does not choose soil, has a short growth cycle, and has a relatively stable yield. It has replaced the original rice seed and has become the staple food.

The prosperity of Yuzhang and Luling was displayed in front of the entire Jiangdong by the "Yangzhou News". The economies of the two counties are catching up, and I believe they will catch up with the prosperity similar to Wu County in the near future.

The realization of rights is a benefit, and when the benefits are limited, the rights are not so important. The gentry who were going to see the jokes of Yuzhang and Luling found that the Yuzhang and Luling systems seemed to have many merits.

Driven by interests, the gentry instigated Zhang Wen to discuss with Lantian, hoping to adopt some beneficial new systems in the three counties of Wujun, Danyang, and Kuaiji. For example, the gentry paid for a new government school, but To borrow textbooks from Guangzhou Academy, and the source of students needs to be selected.

Lan Tian refused because he had an appointment with the gentry. He didn't allow himself to plant trees. Others would pick and eat peaches without watering or fertilizing.

Lantian built Luling as a model, and the gentry in the three eastern counties would eventually succumb to their interests. This kind of conspiracy is aimed at the greed of human nature and guides the people to yearn for a better life.

Lan Yuan and others regained Huainan, and the sword pointing to the Central Plains is just around the corner, and Jiangdong's stubborn illness has improved, so Lan Tian went to Shu Liu Bei to resign as Yangzhou pastor.

At the beginning of the year, Zhao Yun was preparing to march west to Wuwei, and he also asked Liu Bei to send generals to help him. Liu Bei left Zhang Fei to put pressure on Tongguan, and returned to Chang'an with Pang Tong and Ma Chao.

In the end, at the insistence of the veteran Huang Zhong, the general Zhengxi was sent, and Ma Chao continued to partner with Zhang Fei.

In July of the third year of Zhangwu, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Jin as the governor of Yangzhou, summoned Lantian to Chang'an as the chief minister, promoted Ganning to the right general, governor of Yuzhou, and Marquis of Guangxiang; promoted Lu Xun to the post of general, governor of Xuzhou, and Feng Ling Xianghou; promoted Lanyuan to general Zhengdong and prefect of Langya.

Most of the appointments issued by Liu Bei referred to Lan Tian’s suggestion, but changed Lanyuan’s Runan prefect to Langya prefect, because he trusted Lan Yuan more than Lu Xun, which meant that Lan Yuan and Lu Xun teamed up to attack Xuzhou, and Gan Ning Ze went north to take Yuzhou.

Lan Tian originally wanted Lanyuan to send troops to Runan to cooperate with Guan Yu in Jingzhou to attack Xuchang and Luoyang, but Liu Bei thought that Guan Yu alone was enough, and the great victory in Nanyang has already explained everything.

After Lan Tian and Zhuge Jin handed over, he only wrote a letter and sent it to Huainan to Lan Yuan, then packed his bags and went to Guangzhou to pick up his family. He left Yu Xiu in Jianye to help Zhuge Jin stabilize Jiangdong, and only took away his assistant Ji Yan to run the newspaper Song Chen.

The Huaisi faction was "driven out" of Jiangdong by Lantian and the gentry, but Zhuge Jin transformed himself into the new ruler. Gu Yong and others showed bitterness when they greeted the "shangbai". No one expected such an ending.

Zhuge Jin did not have the aura of Lantian, and he was an old acquaintance with Jiangdong officials. Maybe he could introduce the good systems of Yuzhang and Luling, and the Jiangdong gentry suddenly felt that the future was promising.

Lan Tian returned to Guangzhou two years later. Nine-year-old Lan Qing had grown into a big girl. After dinner, she went back to the house with the maid to read and memorize medicine, looking eager for knowledge.

"It is said that girls are sensible earlier, and they are more stable than Boyang and Zhongling at that time..." Lan Tian looked at Lan Qing's back and stroked his beard and nodded.

"It's not that my husband persuaded her to study medicine, but it's not bad to find something to do." Lu Lingqi comforted herself first, then suddenly seemed to remember something important, and said anxiously: "My husband, wait a moment, I will show you something."

Chapter 939 Monarchs and ministers ride together

"Huh?" Lan Tian was full of doubts.

After a while, Lu Lingqi went back to the house and fetched a weapon, and asked meaningfully: "Can my husband know this thing?"

"This is not my uncle...you, Jun..." Lan Tian saw that it was Fang Tian who painted the halberd, so he was a little surprised.

Lu Lingqi turned the animated halberd and danced a flower, explaining: "Zhongling beheaded Cao Zhang in Nanyang, and retrieved his father's belongings from him."

"I don't know where my uncle's remains are. I think it's a thought for Jun to keep them. Why don't you use them as a tomb for your husband?" Lan Tian was worried that Lu Lingqi would think of others when he saw things, so he thought of this method.

Lu Lingqi frowned: "Weapons need to be used frequently, and they are easy to spoil if stored in the Clothes Tomb. It's a pity that Boyang and Zhongling are both good at it. I don't know how to deal with it..."

"Uh... Then Xiaojun will keep it for his own use. When we arrive in the capital, you will dance the halberd every day, and I will practice Wu Qinxi to accompany you." Lan Tian smiled and comforted.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and replied: "What is the status of the husband at this time? If the concubine is wielding a knife and a gun in the mansion, wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word?"

"What's so ridiculous? In the past when His Majesty married Mrs. Sun, she danced sword all day and no one laughed at her..." Lan Tian was puzzled.

Lu Lingqi: "That's Mrs. Sun who was young in the past. Husband, why don't you ask now? It's better to find a general who can make a halberd as a gift than to lie at home and eat ashes."

"It's better to leave it to Qing'er than to give it away, isn't she also learning martial arts from Xiaojun?" Lan Tian had an idea.

Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard that, and murmured: "Is...is this good? I'm afraid it's not easy to get married in the future..."

"You can rest assured, Xiaojun, how can Qing'er worry about getting married? Besides, although Fang Tian's painted halberd is not a magic weapon, it is a relic of my uncle after all. It's better to keep it at our house. If it doesn't work, give it to Yang'er." Lan Tian stroked Must nod. (Yang'er, baby name, son of Lan Yuan and Liu Wan)

"Husband thinks too far, Yang'er is only one year old..." Lu Lingqi suddenly used the topic to ask when she smiled, "Yinping has passed her age last year, when will Zhong Ling and her get married?"

"Originally we agreed to get married in Luoyang, and now Yunchang has started to attack the Central Plains. I think it's only a matter of time to take Luoyang, but it should be soon anyway." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

"The time is very tight, I have to stay in Guangzhou to prepare the dowry." Lu Lingqi had a serious face.

Lan Tian asked in surprise, "Xiaojun, won't you go to Chang'an with me?"

"Yang'er is still so young, it's inconvenient to travel far with adults. It's not too late to pick us up after my husband settles down." Lu Lingqi said seriously.

"Okay." Lan Tian nodded slightly, then pursed his mouth and said, "It's just that my husband has been out of office for two years, and it's not appropriate to live in the state pastor's mansion..."

"My concubine wanted to move to Wanghai Courtyard, but Jiang Gongyan refused to agree to anything. I tried several times but it didn't work out. Boping also advised me to live in peace, otherwise Jiang Shishi would not be able to explain to her husband." Lu Lingqi Shake your head straight.

After hearing this, Lan Tian stroked his beard and nodded, "It's fine, as the so-called one thing doesn't bother the two masters, then you can stay a little longer, and I'll talk to him tomorrow."

Jiaozhou is the "big rear" of Lantian. On the second day after he returned to Guangzhou, his former subordinates lined up to invite him to a banquet. In addition to old acquaintances such as Jiang Wan and Gao Shun, there were also Zhang Zhao and others who came from Jiangdong. They are very used to living in Guangzhou.

Because of the limited time in Lantian, Jiang Wan was asked to hold a banquet in the state pastoral mansion, and meet old and new friends in the main hall of the vestibule.

Seeing that everyone at the banquet was happy and happy, Lan Tian knew that Jiang Wan was capable. Although the officials were close and close in private, they did not form cliques because of their interests. Lan Tian felt very relieved after drinking the wine.

During his stay in Guangzhou, he visited the four major areas in the city as a guest, and focused on the cultural and educational area. The most important cultural and educational area is the Guangzhou Academy. After the death of the Zhiyuan Liu Xi, Zhao Shuang took over as the new helm .

During the visit to Lantian, I found many Jiangdong faces. After understanding, I found out that many people from the Huaisi faction chose to become officials, but they all went to Guangzhou Academy to study Confucian classics.

Seeing the prosperity of his career, which he has cultivated all his life, Lan Tian boarded the warship going north with satisfaction. He originally wanted to go to Zhuya to visit the Agricultural College, but obviously there was not enough time, so he could only look forward to coming again next time.

Lantian traveled to Quanling, Changsha, Xiangyang and other places, and arrived in the capital Chang'an in early November of that year. Liu Bei took all the officials out of the city to greet him that day.

The white scorpion soldiers stood on both sides, and Liu Bei waited anxiously under the canopy. When he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from the south, he got off the royal chariot and said happily to Fazheng: "Xiaozhi, it should be Ziyu who has arrived. I want to go up." Go and meet him."

"His Majesty……"

Fazheng originally wanted to dissuade Liu Bei, because he would lose the majesty of the emperor, but remembering that Lantian and Liu Bei had a close relationship, he probably couldn't persuade him so he didn't speak.

"Hahaha, Ziyu, I'm looking forward to you." Liu Bei laughed loudly standing in front of the crowd.

Lan Tian was overwhelmed by the flattery, so he got off his horse early and ran towards Liu Bei. When he met him, he clasped his fists and bowed: "How can your majesty come to welcome your ministers? Lan Tian is sincere and terrified."

"What did Ziyu say? You and my brother too." Liu Bei lifted Lantian up with both hands.

"Uh...I..." Seeing Liu Bei's sincere expression, Lan Tian really didn't know how to resist this enthusiasm.

Liu Bei held Lantian's hand tightly, and led him towards the gate of the city. As he walked, he said, "Ziyu has worked hard all the way. If you have anything to say, let's talk on the way. All the officials are waiting to wash you off."

"Your Majesty's courtesy is too grand..." Lan Tian looked embarrassed.

"The first day we met? I have always treated my brothers like this, and the officials in the court will not say anything." Liu Bei said domineeringly.

"Okay." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

The two walked to the gate of the city, and Liu Bei pointed to Lan Tian and said, "This is Lan Tian, ​​Lan Ziyu, Mr. Xuan Xiao, who is my pillar of the sky. You, please recognize your face first, and wait until you return to the palace for a banquet before getting closer." .”

"only."

"General Blue."

"Big Sinon."

……

Lan Tian saw a lot of familiar faces in Jingzhou, but he still couldn't remember most of them, so he could only wave his hand and greet everyone.

"Ziyu, ride with me." Liu Bei beckoned Lan Tian to board the imperial chariot, and the six horses in front of the chariot were all white and flawless.

"Uh... I still ride a horse..." Lan Tianxin said that this was too eye-catching.

"Come up quickly." Liu Bei's tone could not refuse, and Lan Tian could only board the royal chariot after hearing this.

Liu Bei turned his head and invited Fazheng again: "Will the Taiwei come with you?"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. You and General Lan still have to catch up on the old days. It's enough for me to ride behind the royal chariot." Fazheng bowed his hands and thanked him. At his current height, he could hear Liu Bei's kind words.

"Alright, Uncle Zhi, let's go back to the palace." Liu Bei nodded and ordered.

"Wei." Chen Dao clasped his fists to accept the order, leading the forbidden army to open the way.

"Didn't Mrs. Lu come with Ziyu?" Liu Bei looked at Lantian and asked curiously.

Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "The weather is turning cold at this time, she is worried that Yang'er will not be able to travel far, and I plan to pick it up next year when it is warmer."

"I really want to see my grandson, but it's just right that Mrs. Lu is not here." Liu Bei laughed meaningfully.

9 Chapter Forty

Lan Tian showed a puzzled expression, thinking what does His Majesty want to do?Give me two beauties?

"Haha, your wife is not in Chang'an, nor is my wife in Chang'an. We can sleep at night without Ziyu by my side to explain my confusion. I always feel that I can't see things clearly." Liu Bei sighed.

"Uh... isn't this breaking the rules?" Lan Tianxin said that you are already the emperor, and sleeping on your feet may break the rules.

"What transgression? I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are the rules." After Liu Bei said solemnly, his face appeared again: "Ziyu's Dasinong Mansion is deserted, and my Weiyang Palace is also deserted. During this time, you Eat and live with me."

"But……"

Before Lan Tian finished speaking, Liu Bei interrupted: "There is no but, what I say is the imperial decree."

"I obey the order..." Lan Tian clasped his fists and nodded.

Liu Bei shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that Yide is still in Tongguan. It will be even more lively in Chang'an. Maybe the three of us can sleep together."

Lan Tianxin said that was really a dilemma, and he immediately changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Cao Pi has moved his capital to Yecheng, but Tongguan's defenses are still so strict?"

"Tongguan? It's the end of the crossbow. Cao Pi moved his capital back to Yecheng, leaving Zhang Yun to guard Luoyang, and Zhu Ling transferred to Hanoi. The current leader of Tongguan is Hao Zhao." Liu Bei replied calmly.

"Hao Zhao is said to be good at guarding..." Lan Tian reminded in a low voice.

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "It's okay, whatever Hao Zhao is good at defending, just sent the battle report a few days ago, Yunchang has already captured Xuchang, and will soon go to Luoyang. When the second brother takes Luoyang, Tongguan will lose its meaning .”

"So..." Lan Tian suddenly realized, and then asked: "I remember that Xu Huang was also in Tongguan, where was he sent? This person is also a famous general of the Wei Kingdom."

"Xu Huang built a pass in the northeast of Puban. Shi Yuan speculated that he was monitoring the Jinkou on the west bank, and prevented our army from crossing the river from Puban to enter Bingzhou. Cao Pi is already preparing to abandon the land of Henan and retreat to the north of the Yellow River." Liu Bei replied seriously.

"Shi Yuan guessed right." Lan Tian nodded frequently.

"Second Brother attacked Xuchang and Luoyang, Gan Ning attacked Yuzhou, Lu Xun and Boyang attacked Xuzhou, and Zilong went west to Wuwei. Our army has now fully counterattacked. I believe that the end of Mount Tai is not far away, haha." Liu Bei laughed halfway. Suddenly stopped, eager to share another news: "By the way, Kong Ming has quelled the Nanman rebellion, and I heard that he returned to the barbarian king Meng Huo, and came to capture seven times."

"Seven captures and seven attacks?" Lan Tian thought in his heart, good guy, this plane Meng Huo has not escaped his fate?

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "That's right, how to capture seven times, let's ask him slowly when he comes to Chang'an."

"I don't know when the Prime Minister will arrive in Chang'an?" Lan Tian asked.

Liu Bei squeezed his chin and thought for a while, "At this time, he is still on his way back to Chengdu from Nanzhong, and Kong Ming is going to take the prince and the others to Beijing. It is estimated that they will leave next spring, and we will be reunited in summer."

"The prince should stay with His Majesty, and your two wives also..." Lan Tian hesitated to speak.

"My family members will also accompany me, otherwise I will often be entangled by Yuan Tai (Wang Mou), saying that the harem should not be empty." Liu Bei frowned.

When Lan Tian heard the word Yuan Tai, he suddenly remembered that Wang Mou had written several letters to him, to the effect that the country needs to reconcile yin and yang, and Liu Bei should not leave the harem empty just because Empress Gan passed away.

"Your Majesty, what Wang Shaofu said is also reasonable. My sister has been dead for several years. When the two wives come to Chang'an, you should establish a queen as soon as possible to secure the harem." Lan Tian clasped his fists and said.

"Ziyu thinks that Sun and Wu are two, who should I make queen?" Liu Bei could not listen to the advice of the other courtiers, but he had to pay attention to Lantian's words, after all, Lantian was Liu Chan's uncle.

"Mrs. Wu is virtuous and benevolent, please be the master of the harem." Lan Tian said loudly.

Liu Bei's candidate was also Wu Cheng, but he was worried that Lantian would mind that Yong and Li would threaten the crown prince, so he kept rejecting the matter of becoming a successor.

Hearing Lan Tian's words in person, Liu Bei couldn't help but patted Lan Tian's shoulder, his vicissitudes of face were full of relief, "It's really a gift from heaven..."

On the way back to the palace, the fellow officials saw Liu Bei and Lan Tian chatting and laughing on the imperial chariot.

When Liu Bei returned to Weiyang Palace, he arranged a big feast for Lantian to meet the wind, and really left him to stay in the palace at night.

Wang Mou, who was in charge of the emperor's life, saw that the "power minister" Lan Tian was so favored, he was so angry that he wanted to reprimand him face to face, but Liu Bei and Lan Tian were inseparable.

While Lan Tian was leaving Gong to go to the toilet, Wang Mou stopped him halfway, and said in a strange way: "The Taiwei and Situ didn't stay in the palace. Your Majesty is really kind to Da Si Nong. I have pity on me, the emperor of the big man. The harem doesn't even There is no concubine at all, and he wants a man to accompany him at night..."

"Wang Shaofu doesn't need to be sarcastic. On the way into the city today, I have already advised His Majesty to appoint Mrs. Wu as the empress. In the future, there will be a queen to take care of the harem affairs, so Wang Shaofu should worry less." Lan Tian replied indifferently.

"How is it possible?" Wang Mou couldn't believe his ears, Lan Tian would really recommend Mrs. Wu as the empress?Isn't he part of the prince's party?

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "The Shaofu can ask His Majesty for proof tomorrow, how could I lie to you?"

"Uh……".

While Wang Mou was contemplating, Chen Dao suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and said pleasantly, "General Lan, you are here. Your Majesty is looking everywhere. He is worried that you will get lost."

"I'll go back right away, Shao Wang's residence, please." Lan Tian nodded to Chen Dao, and then looked at Wang Mou, pointing in the direction of the toilet.

"Uh...well..." Wang Mou looked embarrassed.
