Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Are the grapes on the shelf at the door?" Before Gan Qian and Gan Ji left, although the grapes had bloomed on the vines, they did not bear fruit at that time, and the two of them, father and daughter, had no chance to eat this rare thing.

"Well, it will be ripe in another month, and you can taste it then, it will be juicy and sweet." Lan Tian laughed.

"Brother, you are really capable. I heard that the grapes are not easy to grow, and the fruits are so sour." Gan Qian praised.

Lan Tian scratched his head, "I don't have any skills, I just have a talent for farming."

"Tian'er, how is the harvest at the village this year?" Ganji asked again.

"There was too much rain in the first half of the year, and the output of several nearby villages has dropped a lot. However, there should be no problem paying enough rent and taxes. In addition, there should be quite a lot of grain stored last year. There is absolutely no problem in staying until the end of the year."

Ganji nodded and sighed: "Hey, farmers have to be rewarded by God for food. Since you are proficient in this way, Tian'er, you must benefit your neighbors and villagers. You have also experienced the feeling of being hungry. People can't forget their roots."

"Father, I can save this." Lan Tian said.

"Besides, your sister is now married to Xuande, so Lu Bu's generals should try to keep as little contact with their daughter as possible, otherwise it will easily attract gossip, which will make your sister difficult to behave." Gan Ji instructed again.

"Okay, I get it now……"

"Father, younger brother is just a peasant boy, Xuande's bearing is not that good." Gan Qian said.

Gan Ji shook his head and said: "General Gao and Miss Lu took the risk to save us. Their friendship with Tian'er is not bad. At first it didn't matter that Lu Bu surrendered as a subordinate. Now that he is the master of Xuzhou, how do you know that Xuande is not there?" Any other ideas?"

"Ah... this..." Gan Qian didn't know how to answer. Although her father was a farmer, he had stayed in Xiapi City for a long time and understood some ways of the world.

"Besides, the Mi family has given all their wealth to help Xuande, I'm afraid your life will be more difficult in the future..." Gan Ji looked worried.

Mi Zhu sent charcoal to Liu Bei in the snow, and eventually became the most important minister of the Shu Han, and his status was higher than that of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Even though Mi Fang later surrendered to Soochow and indirectly killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei still ignored his mistakes and treated him as before.

"Father don't need to worry too much, the so-called time and fate also, I think my sister has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and there will be a day of prosperity in the future." Lan Tian persuaded.

Ganji was startled when he heard that, the face-to-face person said the same thing at the beginning, thinking that you, a kid, can also make faces?

"Okay..." Ganji fell down in front of the table with a drunken eye.

After the siblings helped Gan Ji to the couch, Gan Qian said: "Brother, it is inconvenient for me to ask more in front of my father just now. It can be seen that Miss Lu has a very unusual relationship with you. I don't know how good it is." gone?"

Gan Qian's words were like steel knives, and her eyes were like sharp swords, which made Lantian feel a lot of pressure. Although the etiquette was not as strict as that of the Song Dynasty in this era, the bottom line of men and women's defense cannot be broken.

Lan Tian said calmly: "Sister, don't worry, we just have a good impression of each other, but we are still cautious and polite."

Gan Qian nodded and said: "If there is no matter of going to the Pi, I can ask my husband to be a matchmaker for you to propose marriage. I am afraid that the current situation will be very difficult."

"Sister, you're thinking too far, I'm still so young, it's too early to get married." Lan Tian shook his head and said.

"You're still young? When Xuande's situation gets better, I'll ask him to make arrangements for you. I'll have to find a woman from a scholar family for you anyway." Gan Qian laughed.

"Sister Qian, you really don't need to be so concerned. Huo Qubing once said that if the Huns are not destroyed, why should we make a family? I still have nothing to do now. What are you talking about getting a wife and starting a family?"

"Brother, this is because you are humble. You don't want to compete with your husband. You are already a leader in farming. Now that your biological parents are dead, my father and I must decide for your life. Miss Lu Forget about it over there..." Gan Qian persuaded.

Lan Tian was speechless for a moment. It seems that in any era, the phenomenon of forced marriage exists.

At the same time, Lantian's favorite girl also encountered trouble. Yuan Shu in Huainan was afraid that Liu Bei and Lu Bu would join forces to deal with him, so he sent Han Yin to Xiapi as a matchmaker, and asked Lu Bu to marry his beloved daughter Lu Lingqi to his son Yuan Yao. , and promised that the previous food and supplies will be delivered as a dowry.

When Han Yin came to act as a matchmaker, Lu Bu and the generals were discussing matters.

Gao Shun knew that Lu Lingqi had something to do with Lan Tianxin, and Zhang Liao blocked him when he was about to raise an objection in the hall. Zhang Liao whispered in his ear, "Bo Ping be careful, this is the lord's family matter..."

Chapter 15 Yuan Shu proposes marriage, Gao Shun asks advice

Yuan Shu's troops in Huainan were well-equipped and powerful, and Lü Bu seized Xuzhou's revived ambition at this time, and immediately responded in the hall.

When the sky cleared and the rain stopped, Lu Bu felt that he was doing well again.

Han Yin was overjoyed, so he bid farewell to Lu Bu and returned to Shouchun to report to Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu then held a banquet in the hall to celebrate his marriage with Yuan Shu in advance. All the generals felt that Xuzhou had added a strong supporter, and raised their glasses to congratulate.

Only Gao Shun didn't say a word during the banquet, but he has never been drinking alcohol and it has become a habit, so others don't suspect it.

All the generals got drunk and went back to the camp. Lu Bu was also helped into the back hall to rest, while Yan Shi took good care of him.

Seeing the smile on Lu Bu's face, Lu Lingqi thought that something happy happened to her father. At this time, Gao Shun's soldiers found her and told in detail about Han Yin's proposal.

Lu Lingqi was shocked when she got the news. She thought she was loved by her father, but she didn't expect to push her out as a bargaining chip when facing the temptation of Yuan Shu's army rations. No wonder her father would drink like this.

Yuan Shu in Huainan, four generations and five princes, came back from overseas, but unfortunately Lu Lingqi's heart is not there.

At that time, Lu Lingqi knew that she could not disobey her father's decision under the orders of her parents, and she changed into a military uniform and secretly came to Gao Shun's camp in a depressed mood.

"Miss came so fast." Gao Shun went up to meet her.

"Since you know my heart, why don't you speak up in the classroom? Now that my father has given up his golden mouth, what can I do?" Lu Lingqi asked angrily.

"I wanted to dissuade you, but Wen Yuan stopped me. He said it was the lord's family business, so I didn't..."

"Hmph, that coward Zhang Liao, you are also a coward, woo woo woo..." Lu Lingqi cursed a few times, then sat down and wiped her tears again.

Lu Lingqi has always been resolute, and Gao Shun has never seen her cry. At this moment, he regretted everything in his heart. He should have spoken out to dissuade him just now. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his head, and he said excitedly: "Miss, don't cry, this matter may not be unreasonable." room for maneuver."

"Really? Do you have a solution?" Lu Lingqi stopped crying and said happily.

"Mr. Ziyu is unfathomable. Since he can expect us to attack Xiapi, I don't think he has a plan to withdraw the engagement. Why don't you send someone to ask for it?" Gao Shun said.

Lu Lingqi immediately stood up after hearing this, "It wasn't you who reminded me, I almost forgot about this guy, this guy has great wisdom hidden in his chest, my guards can't go out of the city, so I have to ask you to help me with this matter."

Gao Shun nodded and said, "I'm going to send my confidant to Xiaopei. If I hurry up, I can turn back tomorrow. I just need the young lady to give me a token, so that I can win people's trust."

"That's a very kind word." Lu Lingqi thought for a while, then untied the sachet from her waist and handed it over.

"Can Lan Ziyu recognize this thing?" Gao Shun asked.

"Um……"

The two of them have been together day and night for the past six months, as long as Lan Tian is not blind, he will definitely remember Lu Lingqi's sachet.

At this time, in the Gan family village, Lan Tian accompanied his adoptive father Ganji for a walk on the village.

After Ganji came back, Lantian resolutely gave up the position of owner. Anyway, he is a hard-working farmer and a master of flowing water, and the farmers are used to it.

The father and son Ganji and Lantian are generous to the people in the village, so no matter who will be the owner of the village, they are all happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In the past few days, Ganji regained the power of Ganjiazhuang, and Ganji faintly found that Lantian's prestige was far superior to his own. Apart from their verbal respect for him, these people actually turned to Lantian to solve all difficulties they encountered.

Such a person will be a farmer all his life?Gangji didn't believe it.But he was very pleased that his adopted son was so capable.

In July, the scorching sun was shining, and the fields were full of green seedlings of hope. They walked in the countryside for a while, and Lantian saw Ganji was sweating profusely, and persuaded him, "Father, let's go home to cool off, you didn't see anything." A few people are guarding the field, and I will accompany you out after the sun goes down."

"That's good." Ganji didn't come to the countryside for a long time, and he didn't want to go back.

The two of them were walking home when a visitor came to that humble home.

Gan Qian scooped up a ladle of cold water for the visitor, and saw that he was sweating profusely, picked up the ladle and poured it directly down his throat.

After Gan Qian married Liu Bei, she was no stranger to such rude scenes.

"Do you want more?" Gan Qian quickly drank a scoop when she saw the man.

"I've drunk enough, I don't know when Mr. Ziyu will come back?" the man asked anxiously.

Gan Qian looked up at the strong sun in the sky, "The sun is in full bloom at this time, I guess he should be back soon."

While the two were talking, Lan Tian and Gan Ji walked out of the courtyard and saw two horses tied under the tree, so they said loudly: "Sister, are there any guests at home?"

"Ziyu is back." Gan Qian said.

The visitor stood up quickly, he dusted off the dust on his body, and then stood upright, Gan Qian was very curious to see, wondering what the hell does this guy do?

Lan Tian walked out from the shade of the tree, he saw that the man's eyes were bright, he looked like a soldier in the army, so he frowned and asked: "Sister, Xiao Pei, someone invited you back?"

"No, he's here to look for you." Gan Qian said.

Find me?Lan Tian walked into the courtyard with big strides, and the visitor stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ziyu, I'm from the south."

After finishing speaking, he handed Lan Tian an exquisite sachet, and Lan Tian took it and saw that it was Lu Lingqi's personal belongings.

"Is something wrong?" Lan Tian's expression changed.

"Yuan Shu sent someone to come to Xiapi to ask for marriage. My lord has already agreed to it. Miss and General Gao asked me to ask Mr. how to let this matter go."

As soon as these words came out, Gan Qian and Gan Ji next to them were shocked. If Yuan Shu formed an alliance with Lu Bu, wouldn't Liu Bei have a few days to live in this tiny place?

"Let me think about it." Lan Tian said with a frown.

Seeing this, Gan Qian said anxiously: "Brother, this is a big matter, you have to think of a perfect plan."

"The general can return to Xiapi quickly, just spread the news of Yuan and Lu's marriage." Lan Tian nodded and said.

"Is it that simple?" The visitor asked in a daze.

"Don't worry about going back, as long as you do as I said, someone will help you when the time comes." Lan Tianshen said mysteriously.

"Then I'll be on my way." The visitor got the news and was about to leave.

"The sun is scorching hot at this time, why not leave later?" Lan Tian said.

"It's more important to send the news. Farewell, Mr. Ziyu." The visitor clasped his fists and said.

Lan Tian remembered that there were two fast horses under the tree, so he didn't force them to stay. He picked two bunches of half-red grapes from the shelf, "The grapes are not yet fully ripe, but the sour saliva is just right to quench your thirst on the way."

"Thank you, sir." The visitor took the grapes and retreated, and the horseshoes kicked up dust and galloped away.

At this time, the father and daughter of the Gan family were confused. Who is this Lan Tian?Is it possible that Xiapi City still has his people?Is this person strong enough to stop Lu Bu?

"Brother, what kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd? Although I advise you to forget about Miss Lu, you can't be perfunctory if someone comes to you from such a distance for advice." Gan Qian couldn't help asking.

Lan Tian held the sachet and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, Lu Bu will not marry his daughter to Huainan now..."

Chapter No.16 Yuan Chen Enmity

"Brother, Yuan Shu and Xuande fought several times. If this person marries Lu Bu, then Xiao Pei will be in danger." Gan Qian said worriedly.

"Qian'er is right. I know you don't like Xuande, but he is your sister's husband. How can there be eggs in a nest? Don't be arrogant and give advice to other girls." Ganji added road.

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, didn't he like Liu Bei being so obvious?Even the adoptive father can see it?

"Father, elder sister, don't worry, I don't think we will be able to get married as a relative of Yuan Shu." Lan Tian said affirmatively.

Gan Qian frowned, "Don't play tricks in front of my family. If you don't tell me you're ugly, I'll feel really uncomfortable."

In order to reassure Gan Qian, Lan Tian went through the history he knew in his mind, and then said: "Sister, since the Yellow Turban, the world has been in chaos, and the princes have risen together. Why do you think Liu Xuande can become Xuzhou Shepherd?" ?”

"Naturally, it's my husband's benevolence and righteousness that spread all over the world, and he also saved Xuzhou, so Tao Gongzu really gave in." Gan Qian replied.

At this moment, Lan Tian shook his head suddenly, and Gan Qian looked puzzled, "Could it be?"

"Yes, but not all. Tao Gongzu was originally from Danyang County. When he came to serve as governor of Xuzhou, if he wanted to convince the public, he had to rely on the local powerful family. The rest of the world's princes Cao Cao and Yuan Shaogu are like this, and the powerful family in Xuzhou is Xiapi If Tao Qian refuses to give up to Liu Bei, there will be chaos in Xuzhou." Lan Tian said.

The Eastern Han Dynasty stipulated that local people were not allowed to serve as local officials, especially the governor of a state and the prefect of a county. While this system curbed the rise of local power, it made many officials have to rely on the local big clan to maintain their rule , the result is that the governor or prefect needs to share power with the local powerful gentry.

Gan Qian thought it made sense when she heard it. Liu Bei had friendship with Pei Xiang Chen Gui when he was in Xiaopei before. Could it be that the Chen family supported her husband behind his back?

"Brother, you are going too far. Even if your husband picked up Xuzhou Mu, what does this have to do with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu?" Gan Qian continued to ask.

"It goes without saying that the Mi family has already publicly supported General Liu. Their power in Xuzhou will never allow Lu Bu to become a big man. The other Chen family in Xiapi is the important driving force behind this decision."

"You mean Chen Gui and the others? Although the Chen family has an old relationship with Xuande, after Xuzhou changed hands, they can choose Lu Bu?"

Lan Tian shook his head, saying to himself, Sister Qian, that your thinking is too simple, and then slowly explained: "The Chen family is not only a prominent family in Xiapi, but also has great power in both Xu and Yang. Chen Gui's cousin Chen Yu He used to be a member of Yuan Shu..."

"Huh? So, the Chen family will try their best to facilitate this marriage?" Ganji interjected.

"Don't worry, foster father. It is because of this person that the Chen family will not be in cahoots with Yuan Shu. In the fourth year of Chuping, the governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen, died. Yuan Shu took Chen Yu as the shepherd of Yangzhou, and planned to take Yangzhou as the foundation of his life.

Later, Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at Kuangting. He wanted to go to Yangzhou but was betrayed by Chen Yu. Yuan Shu had to concentrate his forces to attack Shouchun. Seeing that Yuan Shu was still strong, Chen Yu sent someone to sue for peace, but was rejected by Shu. .

Chen Yu was afraid of Yuan Shu's attack, so he had no choice but to go to Xiapi to vote for Chen Gui. "Lan Tian stitched together the scattered historical fragments in a short time.

Gan Qian was enlightened after hearing this, and sighed to herself: "The situation behind this is so complicated..."

Seeing that Gan Qian seemed to understand, Lan Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Now you should believe that I am not talking nonsense, right?"

Ganji's mind turned slowly, scratching his head and asked: "Chen Gui, Chen Yu, what does it have to do with Lu Bu marrying his daughter?"

Seeing this, Gan Qian smiled, "Father, the Chen family has a grudge against Yuan Shu, if Lu Bu and Yuan Shu really get married, they will definitely be punished by Yuan Shu, so the Chen family will definitely prevent Lu Bu from marrying a daughter." of."

"Is that so? Then I can rest assured." Ganji seemed to understand.

"Brother, how do you know these things?" Gan Qian asked after reacting.

"Ahem, it's all from the books." Lan Tian didn't expect this sister-in-law to be so witty.

Gan Qian looked puzzled, "I remember that my uncle gave you a set of "Spring and Autumn", but that is a story of the Zhou Dynasty. How could it be possible to record what Chuping has seen and heard for four years now?"
