Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Bei took Lan Tian to the front hall to meet Liu Qi.

On the way, Lan Tian asked about Zhang Ji's medical school situation. He was afraid that Zhang Zhongjing would be disheartened because he couldn't recruit suitable apprentices.

Liu Bei smiled mysteriously: "There are ready-made military doctors in each army and battalion. Mr. Zhongjing's medical school is running well. Both officials and people around Chen County often come to see a doctor. Ziyu's method of retaining people is wonderful."

Chapter 95 The Wicked Sue First

Liu Bei held on to Lan Tian's hand and came to the front hall. At this time, Zhuge Liang had already made it clear to Liu Qi.

"Uncle, that Lingling Liu Du violated the country for no reason. This trend cannot last long. I should write a letter to my father to explain everything." Liu Qi said angrily.

Liu Bei asked in bewilderment, "What's the matter with Governor Liu?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "It seems that Ziyu has not had time to tell you that Lingling Liudu sent soldiers to invade Guiyang County because of some conflicts on the border, and Gan County magistrate stood up to resist. This year's harvest may be affected. The people under the rule..."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Lan Tian, ​​and saw that his expression was calm and calm, and immediately understood that Zhuge Liang was talking to Liu Qi.

"Ziyu, what's the situation in Guiyang County?" Liu Bei pretended to be anxious and asked.

"Guiyang has been defended for the time being, but the people have suffered heavy losses..." Lan Tian also co-starred, he admired Kong Ming's eloquence skills, and it didn't take long for Liu Qi to be filled with righteous indignation.

Liu Bei was very aware of Gan Ning's skills. He almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Lan Tian and Zhuge Liang singing and acting.

"It turned out to be like this, the eldest son should repair the book for brother Jing Sheng as soon as possible." Liu Bei said with a sad face.

Liu Qi nodded and said, "I'm going to write a letter right now, please uncle to transfer General Guan back, my [-] troops are enough for Liu Du."

"My lord is not in a hurry, I'd better ask the lord for instructions first." Zhuge Liang said in his heart, don't listen to the wind and the rain.

"Alright, I'd better ask my father first." Liu Qi nodded.

At this time, Liu Bei introduced Lantian to him again. Liu Qi heard people often mention it in Chen County, and many of the dishes he had never tried were the new creations of the one in front of him.

Liu Qi was regarded as a guest of honor in Chen County, and lived more comfortably than the military camp in Xiangjiang, so since he came here, he never mentioned going back, let alone going to You County to help Liu Pan.

As for Lingling, Xing Daorong led troops to fight against Guiyang, but there was no news.

Five days later, Liu Du couldn't sit still any longer, so he called his son Liu Xian to discuss: "General Xing has been on an expedition to Guiyang for five days, and now he hasn't even heard a single word. I asked Xu Xiang to send someone to investigate. , is also gone and never returned, could something have happened?"

Liu Xian: "General Xing is very brave. This time, Guiyang made a mistake first. Why don't you lead the army to meet him?"

After hearing this, Liu Du shook his head and said: "There are only 5000 troops left for my father. If you make any mistakes, Lingling will be in danger. It is better to send more people to Guiyang to inquire. I will write a book to explain the situation to the Fujun."

"If you have the support of Lord Liu, you can transfer troops from Changsha and Wuling. Let's see what Liu Bei and Zhao Fan say. At least we should hand over Gan Ning's head to admit our mistakes." Liu Xian nodded.

Liu Du wrote the letter and sent his cronies to Xiangyang to file a complaint.

The letter of the prefect of the county must first be read by Chang Shi Kuai, and then submitted to Liu Biao for review.

After Liu Biao read the letters of Liu Du and Zhao Fan, Kuai Yue took advantage of the situation and asked, "Lingling and Guiyang each insist on their own words, why should the Lord agree with them?"

"What do you think should be done?" Liu Biao asked back.

"After the plague in Lingling and Guiyang, they couldn't even pay their taxes. Now Guiyang has asked Gan Ning to plunder the population. This guy seems to have joined Huang Taishou, and he seems to be a bandit. I think Lingling's words are more credible... ..." Kuai Yue analyzed.

"Brother-in-law, Liu Bei is still in Guiyang, could he be playing tricks?" Cai Mao asked doubtfully.

Liu Biao glanced at the two of them, then took out a cloth bag from his pocket and threw it on the table, "Qi'er is in Chen County right now, and he also sent me a letter, you all should read it."

After Kuai Yue looked at it, he handed it to Cai Mao, "Master, this... Eldest Young Master should go to You County, why did he go to Guiyang?"

Liu Qi's big book Liu Du in the letter is not, as if he saw it with his own eyes, he was more violent than Zhao Fan's words, and said that he would lead troops to Lingling to question the crime.

"Pan'er also received a letter a few days ago, saying that Yan Qi'er was not acclimatized in Changsha, and now Zhang Zhongjing is in Chen County, so he went over to recuperate." Liu Biao said in a low voice.

Kuai Yue couldn't say anything now, but Cai Mao still didn't give up, "Brother-in-law, should I send someone over to investigate? After all, Lingling and Guiyang have only been pacified not long ago..."

"What else is there to investigate? My own son can't believe it? This Liu Du is such a waste. His poor governance caused the people to relocate, but he took the initiative to provoke troubles. Now the wicked came to complain first, hum..." Liu Biao said angrily.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao was angry, and after a while Liu Biao said again: "Yidu, you write a letter to the emperor for me, and Biao Qi'er is the prefect of Lingling."

"Ah... this..." Kuai Yue didn't know what to say for a while.

Cai Hao was afraid that Liu Qi would be the prime minister in Lingling, so he quickly advised him: "Brother-in-law, Jingnan has only been calmed down for several years and people's hearts are unstable. Replacing Liu Du rashly may cause turmoil in Lingling. It is better to send someone to hold him accountable..."

"I've made up my mind, De Gui doesn't need to say anything more." Liu Biao said firmly.

"What if Liu Du took advantage of the situation and rebelled against him? I heard that he has the mighty Xing Daorong under his command..." Cai Mao continued to fight.

"Didn't Qi'er bring troops from Xiangyang? Besides, Guiyang and Xuande will help him, so I'm tired..." Liu Biao got up and walked to the bedroom.

Cai Mao said in his heart that it was because of Liu Bei that he was worried. If Kuai Yue hadn't kept winking, he would have continued to persuade him.

"Why didn't Yidu say anything just now?" Cai Mao asked after Liu Biao left.

"My lord is partial to the eldest son. No matter how much I try to persuade him, it will be in vain. Degui still has to think about the bright side." Kuai Yue said.

"There are still good things?" Cai Mao frowned.

Kuai Yue smiled slightly, "Lingling is a small border county, and its population is not as large as that of Xiangyang. The eldest son has been indulging in wine and sex for a long time, and he is already dying. If he lives in the border area for a long time, how can it last?"

Cai Mao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he thought, why didn't I think of it?

In the process of passing letters around, Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to strengthen border defenses and was always ready to march west to Lingling.

In August of the 11th year of Jian'an, the summer harvest and autumn planting in Guiyang County had ended. Liu Bei accompanied Liu Qi and led the army here, and Gan Ning prepared fruits and other things to go out of the city to work for the army.

Along the way, Liu Qi saw that the people in the county were happy and the crops in the fields were young, so he praised Liu Bei: "The county magistrate of Guiyang is a capable person, not only has he prevented Liu Du's harassment, but the production of the people has resumed so quickly... "

Liu Bei smiled and introduced Gan Ning for him. Zhang Fei joked after seeing Gan Ning, "I heard that you beheaded Xing Daorong? You have some skills."

This time when he dispatched troops to Lingling, Liu Bei took Qujiang to inspect the counties in the south of Guiyang, and recruited Zhang Fei to lead his troops to accompany him.

Gan Ning said modestly, "It's just a fluke..."

"I heard that Xing Daorong is a fierce general of Lingling, but I didn't expect him to be defeated by General Gan. Can you be a pioneer in Lingling this time?" Liu Qi asked.

Gan Ning's defeat of Xing Daorong in Guiyang was briefly modified by Zhuge Liang, and Liu Qi mistakenly thought that Guiyang was just being beaten passively. Now that he heard Zhang Fei's words, he knew that Gan Ning was unusual.

Seeing Liu Bei nod his head slightly, Gan Ning immediately clasped his fists in response.

"Brother, it's not me..." Zhang Fei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Bei's eyes.

Chapter 96 Zhang Fei: Who else?

Liu Du waited in Quanling County for 20 days. He thought that Xiangyang would definitely support him because he was so wronged, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to withdraw him directly.

"For this trip to Xiangyang, my father not only wrote sincere words in the letter, but also prepared gifts for Kuai Yue. How could Mr. Liu Fu be so ruthless?" Liu Xian was puzzled.

"The dangers of being an official, do you know today? I suspect that the matter in Yingdao County may have been done on purpose by the Fujun. I don't think I would fall into it hastily, alas..." Liu Du sighed.

"Then let's surrender Lingling to Liu Qi?" Liu Xian asked.

"Otherwise? Do you want to learn from Zhang Xian?" Liu Du asked rhetorically.

"I don't know what happened to General Xing, I haven't heard from him for so long..." Liu Xian said to himself.

Liu Du sneered and said, "How? Either surrender, or die in battle..."

"How come? General Xing is our Lingling General." Liu Xian exclaimed.

"Xian'er, you also said that he is the general of Lingling... There is a sky beyond the sky..." Liu Du shook his head.

While the father and son were sighing, soldiers were dispatched from outside the hall to report the military situation: Liu Qi's troops had left Jiuyi Mountain, and the defenders of Yingdao, Yingpu, and Lingdao counties had surrendered in anticipation of the wind, and they were now heading towards Quanling along the deep water.

Liu Du was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Liu Qi have?"

"The horse infantry has 3000 people." The orderly replied.

Liu Du sat down heavily after hearing this, and Liu Xian suggested: "There are not many garrisons in those counties, and we still have five thousand elites in Quanling, which is enough to give it a go."

"Who is handsome if General Xing is not here?" Liu Du asked.

"My son is willing to share his father's worries." Liu Xian said vigorously.

Liu Du nodded and said: "Liu Qi must have Liu Bei's help when he comes here. My son can't go into danger himself. Our army strength is twice that of that one. We can fight. Even if we want to give up the position of prefect, we father and son can't be so cowardly." leaving..."

"I'm going to gather soldiers and horses now, and give this young master a head-on blow." Liu Xian stood up and clasped his fists.

This is also Liu Qi's first time leading troops in battle, so everything feels very fresh.

The garrison in Yingdao County was crippled by Gan Ning long ago. Now Liu Bei’s troops are not only far superior to the garrison in Yingdao County, but also Gan Ning has appointed the captured remnants to lead the way. Unlucky, the crowd surrendered.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei took Lingdao with ease, while Gan Ning repeated his old tricks and took Yingpu without bloodshed.

When the two soldiers joined forces and turned northward, Liu Qi smiled and asked on the horse: "Uncle, these generals in Lingling are all incompetent, how dare they go to Guiyang to provoke them?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I heard that the elites of Lingling are all in Quanling. We haven't really fought yet. The eldest son should not underestimate the enemy..."

Liu Qi nodded after hearing this, the army rested overnight in Yingpu, the scouts reported early the next morning that the five thousand troops from Quanling were heading south, less than a hundred miles away.

"Who is leading the army?" Liu Bei asked.

Scout: "Liu Xian, son of Liu Du."

"Brother, I'll go and capture this man for you." Zhang Fei clasped his fists in his arms.

"What does Yuan Zhi think?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang stayed in Chen County, and Xu Shu accompanied the army in the westward expedition to Lingling.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Before we left, Prefect Zhao once said that this Liu Xian is relatively mediocre, not a talent for commanding troops, and there is only one horse road down the mountain from Quanling to Yingpu.

My lord, let someone lie in ambush in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain on the west side, and then we wait at the mouth of the valley to relax, no matter how narrow the mountain road is, the soldiers and horses cannot be spread out, if the head and tail cannot see each other, they will panic, Liu Xian is not difficult to capture. "

Liu Bei laughed and said, "This terrain is very similar to Bowangpo's defeat of Xiahoudun. Then, please General Gan lead his troops to set up an ambush in the forest to the west. Yide and we wait for Liu Xian's soldiers at the entrance of the valley."

"Wei." Zhang Fei (Gan Ning) clasped his fists and took orders in unison.

There are three Nanling and Five Ridges located longitudinally in Lingling, namely Yuecheng Ridge, Dupang Ridge, and Mengzhu Ridge. These mountains divided Lingling into several areas. At that time, it was too difficult to dig mountains and build roads. , can only build a passing horse road along the river valley.

The road between Yingpu and Quanling is located at the junction of Dupangling branch and Shenshui (now Xiaoshui). The terrain is very dangerous for three hundred miles. Liu Xian led his troops into the canyon, and the south wind blows trees and mountains. The sound made him uneasy.

Liu Xian proceeded cautiously for fear of encountering an ambush, and he was relieved when he reached the mouth of the valley, where Liu Bei was already waiting with Chen Bing.

Liu Xian rode his horse to the front of the formation, pointed at the opponent and cursed: "Wu, that thief dared to invade our county. Now that the heavenly soldiers have arrived, why don't you get off your horse quickly and be bound?"

Zhang Fei raised his spear and shouted: "You are blind, this is the son of Liu Jingzhou, the new prefect of Lingling, why don't you get off your horse and come to see him?"

"Wu Na Hei Si, what nonsense are you talking about? Governor Liu of Lingling is still here, so they must not be bandits from the Yue people, right?" the school captain beside Liu Xian shouted.

Liu Qi came to take over as the prefect of Lingling, but Liu Du didn't tell the outside world at all, these generals mistook it for the criminals.

Zhang Fei looked at this man with curly beard and furious brows, and his skin color was almost the same as his own, so he dared to laugh at himself. He pointed at Tan Wu with a spear and laughed: "You have a very loud tone, dare you fight me for a few rounds?"

"Dou Bian Dou." Tan Wu took two steps forward with a big knife in his hand.

"General Tan, be careful. This man looks good, so it must be something difficult." Liu Xian reminded.

"Wei." Tan Wu clasped his fists and walked away with the knife in hand.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened in anger, he slapped his horse's buttocks and charged towards him like a gust of wind, the snake spear pierced straight into Tan Wu's chest as if it had eyes.

Zhang Fei picked up the snake spear and threw Tan Wu's body on the ground.

"Who else?" Zhang Feixin asked, what are these?I didn't enjoy it at all.

The fighting general in front of the battle was killed by one blow. This force value far exceeded Liu Xian's imagination. After Zhang Fei issued an arrogant invitation to fight, the other school officials around him actually took two steps back.

Seeing that the other party was afraid to fight, Zhang Fei said contemptuously, "Is there no one here? It's okay to have a few more."

Lieutenant Lieutenants Li Shou, Fu Cheng, and Jiao Liang of Liu Xianzheng, they all looked at each other for a while and then reined in together and walked to the front of the formation.

"Hei Si, you killed our comrades and still entrusted you so much, you will die today." Li Shou rushed out of the formation first, followed by Fu Cheng and Jiao Liang.

"Haha, good time." Zhang Fei greeted him without any fear, on the contrary, his body was stronger.

Liu Qi rubbed his eyes, "Uncle, are the three generals being too entrusted..."

"Even if the third brother can't win, it should be fine to retreat." Liu Beixin said that when Xiaopei was defeated in the army, he escaped from the heavy siege of Cao Cao.

Li Shou rushed forward with his gun, and when he was about to come into contact with Zhang Fei, he stabbed forward suddenly.

Zhang Fei picked up the snake spear and hit the opponent's spear. Li Shou couldn't bear the powerful force. The moment he let go of the spear in his hand, Zhang Ba's snake spear pierced through his chest.

Zhang Fei picked up Li Shou and threw it diagonally forward, just in time to hit Jiao Liang who was on the way. The moment Jiao Liang dodged, Zhang Fei held Fu Cheng's gun handle again with his left hand.

After a brief wrestling, Fu Cheng was pulled off the horse by Zhang Fei with one hand, and then rolled on the ground.

Zhang Fei was about to step forward to make up the knife (spear), only to hear the wind behind his ears, and not far away Liu Bei was calling for his third brother.
