Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Pang Tong was very puzzled by this behavior of exchanging words, but he couldn't resist Lan Tian's enthusiasm, so he could only accompany him cautiously.

"Sir, General Gan is asking for an audience outside the hall." The guard outside the hall reported.

"Please." Lan Tian did not avoid Pang Tong.

Gan Ning walked into the main hall and saw Lan Tian and Gao Shun were there, but there was an ugly man he didn't know next to him.

Lan Tian saw that he hesitated to speak, "Mr. Feng Chu is not an outsider, Xing Ba has something to say, just speak it out."

Gan Ning clasped his fists: "Liu Zhang's general Xi Su will vote, I have already agreed on behalf of Mr. I don't know how to deal with his trilogy?"

"how many people?"

"two thousand."

Lan Tianxin said that two thousand pieces are not a lot, and it will be very helpful for Xichuan in the future, "Xi Su sincerely votes, and he cannot win the crowd. You can let him stay in Yiling temporarily, and make a decision after reporting to the Lord Ming."

"Wei." Gan Ning stood aside after finishing speaking.

After hearing this, Pang Tong was even more surprised, and wondered who the hell this Lantian was, whether it was the legendary Gao Shun or the brave general in front of him, they were all so respectful to him.

"Mr. Fengchu, where were we talking just now?" Lan Tian asked again.

"Speaking of Zhou Yu's current situation is not good, even with Liu Shijun's assistance, it will not be easy to conquer Xiangfan..." Pang Tong replied.

"Yeah, why is it so easy to attack the city? Since the three alliances are fighting against Cao, let them know about the situation in Jiangling. Would Mr. Feng Chu want to go to Jiangxia?" Lan Tian asked.

"Jiang Xia? I..." Pang Tong couldn't understand why he let himself, a hero of Nanjun, deliver the letter.

In fact, Lan Tian sent him for an interview, but he didn't know it.

"Zhuge Kongming, who is as famous as you, is in Jiangxia. It's been a long time since you old friends, so it's time to catch up." Lan Tian laughed.

"but I……"

"Don't worry, sir, there is no Cao Jun in the Yangtze River waterway now. I will let General Gan escort me along the way. The trip will be smooth." After finishing speaking, Lan Tian gave Gan Ning a compliment.

"Only..." Although Pang Tong didn't know what to do, he still agreed.

Gan Ning knew right away that Lan Tian asked him to go to Jiangxia to listen to him, and immediately embraced the order.

After the two left, Gao Shun asked puzzledly: "Sir, does Pang Shiyuan deserve such courtesy?"

Lan Tian laughed loudly: "Crouching dragon and phoenix young, how can someone who is in the same rank as Zhuge Kongming not be worthy?"

"Sir, you are too modest. What are you talking about? Go and get a more dignified name..." Gao Shun suggested.

"Don't do that senseless thing..." Lan Tian waved his hands quickly.

Gao Shun: "I don't think you can lose to Kong Ming at all, Mr. Jiangling. This time, he managed to win Jiangling and played Zhou Yu in his hands. What if Jiangdong knew the truth?"

"Who would gossip about embarrassing things? Kong Ming should think of a good excuse for me." Lan Tian laughed.

"Why do you trust them so much, sir?" Gao Shun was very puzzled.

From Liu Guanzhang, Zhao Yun, and Xu Shu at the beginning, to Kong Ming, Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong later, all of them are outstanding and loyal people.

"That's all I have... Isn't Boping the No. 1 I believe?" Lan Tian praised in disguise.

"Thank you sir for saving me..." Gao Shun survived because of Lu Lingqi, and now he is also married and has children in Lingling. It can be said that without Lan Tian's advice, he would not have such a wonderful life, let alone experience Lan Tian's wonderful ideas think.

"Okay, we're all family." Lan Tian was afraid that his words would be too sensational, so he made this serious General Gao cry.

In December of the 13th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao's Chibi army had been defeated, and took advantage of the situation to send troops from Wu County to besiege Hefei. He also sent his chief Shi Zhang Zhao to attack Dangtu County, Jiujiang County to the north, in order to block the reinforcements from the Central Plains.

In the same month, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to Zhou Yu's camp in Xiangyang to inform that Jiangling had been captured by Liu Qi, and that Gan Ning, who was entrenched in Yiling, had also surrendered Liu Qi.

Xiangyang lies on the Han River in the north and faces Fancheng across the river. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there are ships in the south and horses in the north, and the thoroughfare of seven provinces.

From the north of Xiangyang, you can enter the Central Plains through Nanyang, and from the south of Xiangyang, you can reach the rich and vast Hanjiang Plain through the corridor between Dahong Mountain and Jingshan Mountain.

Zhou Yu's naval warship was originally lying in the north of the Han River in an attempt to completely block Cao Cao's return, but the defenders of Fancheng and Li Tong from Runan sent troops to stop him, and Zhou Yu had to retreat to the south of the border between the Han River and the Dan River. Landed on the river beach east of Xiangyang.

Le Jin, the defender of Xiangyang, had [-] defenders. He couldn't hold out against Zhou Yu, who was superior in numbers. Later, Cao Cao led the defeated troops back to the north. Zhou Yu was worried that he would be attacked by the inside and outside, and once let the soldiers retreat to the warship.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to cross the Han River and fled to the north, and Man Chong also entered Xiangyang to defend. At this time, Cheng Pu and Zhang Fei's land soldiers arrived, and Zhou Yu's total strength reached [-], which was far superior to that of the defending side.

During this period, if Guan Yu hadn't held back in the Xinye area, Jiangdong's warships would probably have been destroyed by Li Tong.

Later, Cao Cao led the defeated troops to cross the border, and left General Wenpin to garrison Wancheng. Xu Shu and Zhao Yun went north to join Guan Yu, and finally captured the old place Xinye County, and Li Tong retreated to Runan.

"Gongyou, what method did Liu Jingzhou use to capture Jiangling?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.

Sun Qian shook his head and said, "I only know how to use tricks, but I don't know what kind of tricks..."

"Who is the general who will lead the attack on Jiangling?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"Mr. Liu Pan's Zhonglang general, Huang Hansheng..." Sun Qian's rhetoric was carefully prepared by Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu then asked Cheng Pu, "Can Mr. Cheng know this person?"

Cheng Pu shook his head: "I know that Liu Pan is a veteran, but I don't know that this person is so cunning..."

Zhou Yu slapped his forehead fiercely, thinking that this Liu Qi really knows how to use people well. Although the Lantian sent to Chaisang last time was mediocre, he also won the rights he deserved. The general sent to Jiangling this time is even more brilliant.

Why is it that I, Zhou Gongjin, don't know about these two unknown and capable people?Could it be that Liu Qi is the obstacle in the way of seizing Jingzhou in the future?

"Governor..." Cheng Pu reminded Zhou Yu when he saw Zhou Yu was silent.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and said: "Gongyou, please tell the envoy, I already know about this, I hope he will inform General Guan, and continue to go north to capture Wancheng."

Sun Qian cupped his hands: "I will go back to Jiangxia immediately and report to the governor."

Chapter 1 Thirty: Fengchu: Ziyu, You Deceived Me So Hard

After Sun Qian left, Cheng Pu reminded: "Since Liu Qi has captured Jiangling, Cao Ren must come to Xiangyang if he is defeated. Gong Jin made preparations in the morning, should he divide his troops to intercept?"

Zhou Yu sneered: "I'm afraid that Cao Ren won't come, I want him to help me capture Xiangyang."

Everyone was in a daze after hearing this, and they wondered why Cao Ren would help you win Xiangyang. Could it be that he was confused because of the Jiangling incident?Only Lu Su smiled and remained silent.

"Does Zijing know what I'm planning?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The governor wants to use Cao Ren to lure Lejin and Manchong defenders?" Lu Su replied.

Zhou Yu laughed heartily: "The one who knows me is Zijing."

Lu Su's face was still heavy, "Happy Jin and Man Chong are not waiting for nothing, and they may not give up the city to save them..."

Zhou Yu explained: "Zijing didn't know something. Before Cao Cao fled back to Xudu, he appointed Cao Ren as the governor of Jingzhou. If Leman and Leman refused to save them, they would be hated by the clan's children. There would be no place for them to stand in the north. This is for me. It is also the conspiracy of the sun."

"The governor is wise." Lu Meng took the lead to praise, and the generals immediately agreed.

Zhou Yu nodded: "There are currently [-] defenders in Xiangyang City. I want to send [-] soldiers to surround Cao Ren. The remaining [-] will be commanded by Duke Cheng to attack the city. That Zhang Yide is the enemy of ten thousand people. You must make good use of it... "

Cheng Pu smiled wryly: "Zhang Fei said that he is good at charging, trapping, cutting generals, and capturing the flag, but Xiandeng is not good at it. Why don't the commander-in-chief be transferred to besiege Cao Ren?"

"It is because Zhang Fei is brave and invincible that I dare not let him besiege Cao Ren. Now Cao Ren is more useful than dead Cao Ren." Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"I see." Cheng Pu nodded.

"Ziming, Gongji, follow me to besiege Cao Ren. Since Gan Ning has already surrendered to Liu Qi, forget about Yiling, and wait until you return to Jiangdong to report to the lord, and then slowly plan it." Zhou Yu specially explained to the two.

"Wei." Lu Meng (Ling Tong) answered with cupped fists.

A few days later, Cao Ren led the crowd to Xiangyang, and Zhou Yu was waiting two miles west of the city for the fish to enter the net.

In order to break down the morale of the defenders, Zhou Yu has been implementing a strategy of besieging Xiangyang on three sides, so external intelligence can enter and exit through the west gate.

"Bo Ning, General Zixiao is coming back soon, Zhou Yu made it clear to us in the west of the city, his move is really insidious..." Le Jin sighed on the west tower.

"Looking at Zhou Yu's formation, it seems that there are 3 troops, and the strength is ten times that of General Zixiao. It seems that we must send troops to save him..." Man Chong also shook his head.

"I will take 1 people out to meet them in a while, and you must guard Xiangyang to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the chaos." Le Jin instructed.

Man Chong suggested: "Jiangdong rats are weak, Wen Qian should take more out, leaving 5000 people is enough for me."

Le Jin waved his hands and said, "General Zixiao has to be rescued, and Xiangyang has to be defended. Anyway, I will do my best."

"I didn't expect that there are hundreds of thousands of prime ministers, but now they are on the defensive side..." Man Chong sighed.

Le Jin frowned and reminded deliberately, "I didn't hear it just now, what did Bo Ning just say?"

Man Chong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately smiled and said, "I said Wen Qian should be careful..."

Le Jin nodded lightly and said nothing, when Cao Ren's cavalry appeared, Zhou Yu immediately took advantage of the number of people to encircle the plain.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu's infantry was mostly, and thousands of cavalry could not stop Cao Ren from going east. At this time, Le Jin opened the west gate to meet him, and the two armies fought fiercely on the plain in the west of Xiangyang.

At the same time, Cheng Pu led his troops to storm the city, and the surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang was full of hustle and bustle.

The cost of elite cavalry is very high. Whether it is Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous follower or Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, they are all made of real money.

The three thousand fine cavalry who followed Cao Ren to retreat were the tiger and leopard cavalry he had raised since the Dongping period, and their combat effectiveness was second only to Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry. Therefore, Zhou Yu seemed to have many soldiers, but in fact he was completely unable to resist.

Zhou Yu was also very happy to see these fine horses. You can't buy such good horses in Jiangdong, so he ordered the horses not to be hurt at the beginning of the battle, but the result was completely different from what he imagined.

Seeing that Le Jin came to support him, Zhou Yu could no longer complete the encirclement, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to order the arrow to shoot the horse.

Countless fine horses fell to the ground whining, and Cao Ren's eyes would light up when he saw it, but he could only watch the cavalrymen fall one by one.

After Le Jin joined the battlefield, he finally relieved Cao Ren's pressure.

This battle was fought extremely fiercely in the end, and the battle losses of both sides reached more than [-]%.

Finally, in the evening, Cao Ren tore his birth path apart, and Le Jin led the remnant army to escort him into Xiangyang City.

Tens of thousands of people fought outside the city for a day, but Cheng Pu still failed to capture the city. Zhou Yu sent people to Jiangxia and Xinye for help, and sent people to Jiangdong to seek food and grass. The battle for Xiangyang immediately entered a stalemate.

In February of the 14th year of Jian'an, Liu Qi entered Jiangling with his wife, concubines and family members, and later Pang Tong returned with Gan Ning.

Pang Tong and Gan Ning did not visit Liu Qi, but returned to Lantian first.

"Ziyu, it's hard for you to lie to me..." Pang Tong's unattractive face became even more strange at this time, but his eyes looking at Lantian were so hot.

Lan Tian got goosebumps all over his body, and looked at Pang Tong very puzzled. Gan Ning next to him explained: "My lord and the military advisor have already told Pang Gongcao the identity of Mr...."

"Oh...so that's the case..." Lan Tian suddenly realized.

Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "Ziyu and I already have co-owners, and I hope you can give me more advice in the future..."

"My lord also worships Mr. Feng Chu as his deputy military adviser." Gan Ning added.

Lan Tian cupped his hands in return: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Congratulations to Mr. Fengchu for meeting the Ming Lord. How dare I teach you how talented you are..."

Pang Tong laughed and said: "Zi Yuguo is as humble as Kongming said, so humble that you have almost deceived all the heroes in the world. My lord is really a blessed person. I will often visit him when I work in Jiangling."

"I have never had great ambitions. There is Mr. Fengchu in Jiangling, so I should go back to Lingling..." Lan Tian said.

Pang Tong nodded and said: "After all, Ziyu is the prefect of Lingling, so he should go to preside over the overall situation. I heard that Liu Zichu was active in Jingnan, and the nobles in all counties admire his name..."

"Liu Ba? I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability." Lan Tian sneered.

After years of development in Lingling and Guiyang counties, the people in various places are now in peace and their power has recovered very quickly. In addition, there are no obstacles from the nobles, and the promotion of various policies is also very smooth.

After the news of Cao Cao's defeat in Jingzhou spread, Liu Ba, even with Su Qin's eloquence, could not convince the Jingnan people to surrender to Cao.

Lan Tian then introduced Pang Tong to Liu Qi, "My lord, Mr. Feng Chu is a genius in the world. With him assisting you in Jiangling, I can go back to Lingling without worry."

"The name of Fengchu resounds throughout Jingxiang. In fact, we met each other when we were in Xiangyang. Today, since Ziyu strongly recommends you, I will promote you to work in Jingzhou." Liu Qi said.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Pang Tong cupped his hands in thanks.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Qi signaled that he would have a private talk with Lan Tian, ​​while Pang Tong left knowingly.

"The battle in Xiangyang is not over yet, Ziyu is going south to Lingling at this time, I really can't feel at ease." Liu Qi worried.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "My lord now has Fengchu in Wen and Huang Hansheng in Wu, so you can rest easy..."

Liu Qi nodded, "Brother Cong is really blind. Huang Hansheng is so powerful that he didn't know it. I heard that he used tricks to attack Jiangling?"

"That's right, that's him." Lan Tian was delighted.

Chapter 131 The Prime Minister in the Mountain, the God on the Ground

The attack on Jiangling was rewarded for meritorious deeds. Lan Tian, ​​Gao Shun, and Gan Ning were all Liu Bei's men. It was not convenient for Liu Qi to reward them, so he promoted Huang Zhong to partial general and Su Fei to Yiling prefect.

Lantian was going back to Lingling, so Liu Qi, Huang Zhong, and Pang Tong went to the pier to see him off.

Huang Zhong was reluctant to part: "Without the support of Mr. Huang, how could Huang Zhong have achieved what he is today? I don't know when we will meet again?"

Seeing this, Liu Qi comforted: "After Jingnan is settled and the Jiaozhou matter is resolved, I will transfer Ziyu back to Jiangling."

Lan Tian waved goodbye to everyone, and Pang Tong slightly nodded at Prime Minister Gu Wuyan, saying that Jiangling would be fine with him.
