Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

When he saw Deng Fan, he patted his chest and said, "Little Deng Zi, this is where the generals talk about big things. Why are you making trouble here?"

"It doesn't matter, he can listen to it if he wants to. With him as a catfish, those students will be more attentive." Lan Tian smiled.

Li Yang:? ? ?

Zhuge Liang asked curiously: "What is a catfish?"

Lan Tian remembered that he had slipped his tongue, so he could only explain: "Fresh fish caught at sea are transported to the market for sale. If the transportation distance is too long, they will die easily. In order to keep the fresh fish alive as much as possible, the fisherman will put them in wooden boxes. Catfish.

This kind of catfish is ferocious by nature and feeds on fish. Other fish will swim desperately in the wooden box in order to survive, so that fewer fish will die. "

Zhuge Liang already understood the secret, he said with a smile: "Ziyu is really knowledgeable, no matter in the camp or in the mansion, there should be more catfish, this kid is really good..."

Although Li Yang didn't understand, he knew that Zhuge Liang was an expert in the world, and seeing that he had a good impression of Deng Fan, he cupped his hands and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, little Deng Zi is almost nine years old, can I ask you to sign for him? "

"Oh? Ziyu is in Linwu, why are you looking far away?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzled.

"At that time, Xiao Dengzi was still young, and the owner of the Shaozhuang said that you had the talents of all over the world, and he dared not stand shoulder to shoulder with you..." Li Yang whispered.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Ziyu is too modest. This kid is called Deng Fan, right? Let me think about it..."

Lan Tianxin said that you really put your heart into it, Mr. Deng made money by recruiting you as his son-in-law.

When Zhuge Liang was thinking, little Deng Fan suddenly said: "I...I don't want...other people's words..."

Li Yang asked in surprise: "Could it be that you want the young master to help you write?"

Little Deng Fan pointed at Lan Tian and shook his head, "Sir, you made...the name yourself. From now on, I will...also...also make the name..."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said with relief: "This son will become a great weapon in the future."

Li Yang took Deng Fan back with embarrassment, and Zhuge Liang asked Lan Tian: "Ziyu managed Linwu very well. The martial arts lecture just now was very interesting, but will it be effective? Will it be effective in the future?" Are there any other courses?"

Lan Tian nodded and said, "Of course there will be, such as actual combat exercises..."

"Practice practice?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.

"Well, increasing the antagonism of training will be more effective than a simple battle formation." Lan Tian explained.

"That makes sense. If it's really useful, I'll go back and suggest to my lord to promote it in all armies." Zhuge nodded his head.

Because Zhang Fei came to Wu by chance because of his greed, Zhuge Liang discovered a different Lantian. He suddenly felt that with the help of this person, his ideal might really come true, and the Han Dynasty was really happy.

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei stayed in the posthouse for one night, and left Linwu County in a hurry the next morning.

Because the flowering period of rice is very short, Lan Tian went to the field immediately after receiving the reception and continued to emasculate. There are many varieties of two-line hybrid rice, and he is ready to experiment for several seasons.

Although I have stood on the shoulders of giants such as Yuan Lao and have strong theoretical knowledge as support, I still need a lot of practice to verify it.

In July, the ears of rice were on the branches, and the fields were golden. Thanks to the hard work of the relocated farmers in Xindengzhuang, they finally ushered in a bumper rice harvest.

Those busy figures in the fields, the locals who saw the jokes before they were dumbfounded, these outsiders seem to be veteran rice farmers?Many people actively asked to join through the agricultural officials.

There are strict requirements for rice harvesting, drying, and seedling treatment, and the field will soon be turned over to prepare for autumn planting, which can be said to be the busiest time of the year.

When the manpower is so tight, Lantian still arranges personnel to help and guide the local farmers, and thoroughly manages the agricultural affairs in Linwu County under unified planning and management.

The reason why Lantian did not have a unified plan at the beginning was entirely because it wanted to rely on the power of role models, rely on the people's yearning for a better life, and let them accept it from the inside out through the rice production that seeing is believing, especially those Yue people who are not very obedient. common people.

Although the summer harvest was busy, the harvest banquet lasted for almost half a month, and the people who came from Chen County to enjoy the harvest banquet arrived as scheduled.

Chapter 89 Military Sandbox

When Lantian harvested corn and corn in Xiaopei, it gradually formed the custom of having a harvest banquet after the harvest. Later, it was brought to Linwu by Li Yang and others.

It may be due to migration, unacceptable water and soil, etc. In order to celebrate the rice harvest, the harvest feast in Linwu lasted longer, and many local Yue people also joined in.

In addition to Zhao Yun staying in Chen County, Liu Bei brought the main military and political personnel to Linwu, and even Guan Yu, who was in charge of building ships in Leishui, was called back.

Because of Yiji's sudden visit, Zhuge Liang set up a suspicious formation and really asked fishermen to fish downstream, so he sent Guan Yu to the upstream of Leishan in the southeast to covertly build ships.

Looking at the people's hard work while harvesting and plowing the land, Liu Bei sighed: "No one complains about the hardships of life despite working so hard under the scorching sun, and many people still have smiles on their faces. Really competent."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "There is a way to everything, if you don't know the way, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain. Ziyu knows the way very well."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I have seen Ziyu's methods when I was in Xinye, but I didn't know that he also knows the male and female of rice grains, and the way of Yin and Yang, which is beyond the reach of people of all ages..."

"Brother, Ziyu is here." Zhang Fei pointed to the front and said.

There were more than ten people on Liu Bei's trip, so he asked people to notify the reception in advance to give Lan Tian enough preparation time.

After the greetings from both sides, Lan Tian will lead Liu Bei and others back to the county captain's mansion, where wine, meat and meals have been prepared in advance.

"Each year, Yide and I have to participate in the harvest banquet in Dengjiazhuang. When we come to Guiyang, we still can't forget this farm food." Liu Bei said with a smile after everyone sat down.

"That's right, big brother can't always blame me for being greedy." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others laughed.

After chatting for a few words, the atmosphere became lively, and the waiter brought the food and drinks. Lan Tian saw an old man in the corner who looked strange and didn't speak, and wondered if he was a talented person newly recruited by his brother-in-law?

"Brother-in-law, this is..." Lan Tian asked.

Liu Bei: "Just now, I was too busy reminiscing about the old days, so I forgot to introduce to Ziyu. This is Zhang Zhongjing from Nanyang, a famous doctor Yi Jibo brought from Xiangyang."

Zhang Zhongjing?Lan Tianxin said that this was one of the few miracle doctors in the Three Kingdoms era.

He stood up and saluted, "I'm in the lower Lantian, I've seen Dr. Zhang..."

Seeing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "General Lan is absurd, how dare Zhang Ji accept such a great gift..."

"Ziyu has also heard of Mr. Zhang's name? He stayed in Chen County recently, and he was very effective in healing soldiers who were not acclimatized. Today, he specially brought it here to show the people of Dengjiazhuang." Liu Bei said.

"That's very good, then please trouble Mr. Zhang." Lan Tian said politely.

"Don't dare...don't dare..."

The banquet was rich in ingredients. In addition to common things such as chicken, sheep, and fish, the Yue people also presented a lot of game, as well as seasonal vegetables and fresh mushrooms. With the cooking techniques taught by Lan Tian himself, the meal was almost delicious. Liu Bei and others had the most sumptuous and delicious meal in their lives.

All the people at the table toasted and chatted freely until the afternoon.

After dinner, there were lychees, plantains and other fruits. Liu Bei peeled off a lychee and sighed: "In this age of war and chaos, Ziyu's Linwu is comparable to a fairyland..."

"Liu Jingsheng has also entertained the lord many times, how does it compare to Ziyu's here?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Liu Biao? I think the Son of Heaven is nothing more than that..." Zhang Fei muttered drunkenly.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "It's not as good as that..."

Lan Tian saw that Zhang Ji was a little cautious, so he asked Gao Yuan to settle him down, and ordered him to take him to Xindengzhuang for consultation tomorrow.

In fact, most of the people in Xindengzhuang have overcome the acclimatization, but the famous doctor finally came, so it is better to go and see.

"Ziyu, the military adviser said that you set up a martial arts lecture hall in Linwu? How effective is it?" Guan Yu, who hadn't spoken much, asked.

When Guan Yu was speaking, Gao Shun kept observing Liu Bei's face. His subordinates secretly recruited troops and cultivated their own power, so they were easily suspected by the lord. He was always cautious under Lu Bu's account, which is why he was so trusted by Lu Bu.

Seeing Liu Bei's calm expression, as if he didn't care at all, Gao Shun couldn't help secretly praising his mind.

Lan Tian said calmly: "During this time, the farmers are busy, and the soldiers have to help with the farm work, so there are only two classes in the martial arts hall, and there is no effect for the time being. After the autumn harvest is free, we are going to carry out actual combat exercises. Then it should have some effect.”

"Ziyu, you let the soldiers help with the farm work?" Guan Yu treated the soldiers kindly, but he was very puzzled by Lan Tian's behavior, thinking that the soldiers were either fighting or training, and if they were allowed to do farm work, they would not mutiny?

Lan Tian gave Gan Ning a wink, and Gan Ning cupped his hands and answered for him: "General Guan, Mr. Said that the people grow food and raise soldiers, and the soldiers come from the people. You should always be grateful. Apart from fighting and fighting, protecting the environment and the people , the army can also share the worries of the people when they are free, this is the situation between the army and the people..."

While Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still reminiscing, Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "What a military and civilian fish and water situation."

Seeing that everyone was more interested, Lan Tian took them to the lecture hall again. As soon as Guan Yu entered the room, he was immediately attracted by the huge square wooden platform in the middle of the hall. The wooden platform used sand, branches, stones, etc. to construct mountains and rivers. , Cheng Guo, etc., this is a military sand table made by Lantian for teaching.

In ancient wars, troops were basically used on maps. It was not until Liu Xiu of Guangwu attacked Kaihuo in Longxi, and Ma Yuan used rice to make valleys and hand-painted mountains and roads that the military sand table took shape.

"What is this thing? It seems that there are mountains and waters, as if it is exactly the same as the real one." Guan Yu asked curiously.

"This is a military sand table, which is used for deduction and analysis by the students in the lecture hall." Lan Tian explained.

"Could this river be the Yellow River?" Zhuge Liang looked at the direction of the river on the sand table and guessed.

"This is the terrain of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at Guandu. A few days ago, we restored the details of the battle here. Here is Yanjin, here is Baima, and here is Xudu..." Lan Tian introduced.

Guan Yu had personally experienced the Battle of the White Horse, and he suddenly realized after hearing it: "No wonder I feel so familiar, Ziyu is indeed omnipotent, and you know so much about the local mountains and rivers and landforms?"

At this time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Tian curiously, thinking that this guy really has the power of ghosts and gods?

Lan Tian shook his head hastily, "There are quite a few people in Dengjiazhuang who come from exiles from the north, and this was restored with the efforts of a dozen people."

"This military sand table is more intuitive than a map, and it should be very accurate for deducing wars. Could it be General Gao's coup?" Liu Bei asked Gao Shun.

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It's not my ability, it's made by craftsmen arranged by Master."

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Tian again, Lan Tian said with a smile: "It's all random thinking, after all, this martial arts hall is still in the process of figuring it out."

Zhuge Liang pointed to Lantian and said: "Ziyu, you are a genius. I think this military sand table should not be limited to the martial arts hall. What do you think, Yunchang?"

Guan Yu said affirmatively, "I'll ask someone to make one when I go back."

Chapter 90 Keeping Zhang Zhongjing

"Ziyu, I think this lecture on martial arts is quite interesting. I don't know when the next class will start?" Liu Bei asked.

"Right now, there are a lot of busy farming activities, and the content of the class has to be prepared. It is estimated that the class will start after autumn." Lan Tian replied.

Zhuge Liang saw a hint of disappointment in Liu Bei's eyes, so he suggested: "My lord is in high spirits today, why don't you give a lecture and review it?"

Lan Tian asked Gao Shun and Gan Ning, "Maybe some of the students will be selected?"

After discussing with Gao Shun and Gan Ning, they agreed to take out half of the students and call those who did not learn solidly to listen again, which can be regarded as strengthening them.

Everyone rested in the martial arts hall for half an hour, and twenty students who were transferred came to report one after another, and the little guy Deng Fan followed behind the students.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei asked, "This child is..."

"He is the youngest student here, my lord, don't underestimate him, this kid is more studious than the others." Zhuge Liang said, shaking his feather fan.

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "Is he the 'catfish' that the military adviser said?"

"Of course." Zhuge nodded his head.

The last lecture in the lecture hall was a sand table deduction of the Battle of Guandu. Gao Shun and Gan Ning respectively deduced Cao Cao and Yuan Shao’s deployment of troops, the direction of the war, etc., summing up the experience of each small battle while performing the deduction, where the two sides used troops successfully and where they made mistakes, How can the offense and defense be improved? The students spoke enthusiastically and asked someone to record their views.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu participated in the early stage of the Guandu War. Zhuge Liang had never been on the battlefield. During Gao Shun and Gan Ning’s sand table deduction, they seemed to be on the scene. They could see the whole picture from the perspective of God, which made everyone see Bright.

"Military division, set up the sand table as soon as possible after returning to Chen County." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang said: "If Cao Cao goes south to Jingzhou in the future, we will definitely have a water battle on the Yangtze River. We might as well arrange the sand table according to the two sides of the Yangtze River."

"Very good." After confirming Liu Bei, he said to Lantian: "Ziyu, you have to do a good job in the martial arts hall. Later, I will ask Yunchang and Yide to send some people."

"Okay, before every class starts, I will send someone to Chen County to notify." Lan Tian said.

Zhuge Liang asked with a smile: "Ziyu first set up an agricultural school, and now he also runs a martial arts school. I don't know what to do?"

"Probably not..." Lan Tian shook his head and said.

After Gao Shun and Gan Ning led the students away, Liu Bei stood beside the sand table and stared at it for a long time, "Cao Cao was able to defeat the strong with the weak, but I can't match him with the use of troops. Now he has surrendered many soldiers from Hebei. He will go south to Jingzhou in the future, isn't it true?" Want to destroy it?"

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself. Ziyu said that fate is also destiny. How can Cao Mengde monopolize fate? We should strengthen ourselves now." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Ziyu has a good way of farming, when will he be able to expand to surrounding counties?" Liu Bei asked.

"Let's start next year." Lan Tian said.

Liu Bei sighed: "Time is waiting for me. I want Yide to guard Qujiang. The governor of the three counties of Yangshan, Hanwei, and Zhenyang in the south will gather the hearts of the Yue people as soon as possible. By the way, I will also add some soldiers. As for the west of Guiyang, For the two counties of Nanping, how about Jiao Ziyu being in charge?"

"Guiyang, Nanping? I can't manage the three counties, right?" Lan Tian said.

Guan Yu said: "Gao Boping and Gan Xingba are both talented, Ziyu should give them more opportunities."

Lan Tianxin said that it's not that I don't want to, it's that Gao Shun doesn't want to.

"Nanping is closer to Lingdao County in Lingling County, so we only need to deal with the relationship with the Yue people, and there is no need to farm and grow food there." Zhuge Liang reminded.

Nanping County is in the due west of Linwu County, and the straight-line distance is closer than Guiyang County in the south. However, because Qitianling Mountain is too high to pass, it has to go around Guiyang. Zhuge Liang is now very good at showing weakness to the outside world.

Liu Bei confessed in person, but Lan Tian could only agree.

Lantian immediately appointed Gan Ning as the county magistrate of Guiyang, Zhang Chang, the magistrate of Linwu County, went to Guiyang to handle government affairs, and asked Li Yang to pick dozens of farming experts to accompany him, and directly promoted scientific planting in the same year.

Linwu County Magistrate Li Zhao and Nanping County Magistrate exchanged positions. Gao Yuan, who was trapped in the camp, went to Nanping to serve as a county captain, while Gao Shun remained in Linwu to manage the Tuntian soldiers who led Xindengzhuang.

The entire south of Guiyang County quickly entered a new development model after the major adjustment of officials, with relatively stable political life and more harmonious ethnic relations.

Zhang Ji stayed in Linwu for half a month and cured all the unaccustomed patients. He resigned from Lantian and prepared to go back to Xiangyang.

Lan Tian was very reluctant to leave such a genius doctor, so he personally sent him to Chen County. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both came out of the city to send him off, and offered a lot of money.

Zhang Ji declined and said: "When I came out of Xiangyang, Uncle Ji had already paid for the consultation fee. Although I have been traveling south for several months, I still have a lot of experience, especially in Linwu County. There are many good methods, such as dealing with feces and rotting animals. Dead bodies, etc., this can prevent the plague..."
