Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

After Pang Tong finished speaking, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Fazheng all agreed, and Liu Bei finally agreed to enter Sichuan after much deliberation.

At this time, Cao Cao's main force was in Tongguan, and Sun Quan's main force was in Ruxukou. Although Jingzhou has no foreign enemies for the time being, it is in the place of the Fourth World War and there are many cities that need to be fortified.

Jingzhou is the land that Liu Bei saved with great difficulty, and the stability behind Xichuan's uncertain future is the most important thing. He only wanted to bring more than ten thousand soldiers into Shu.

Fazheng immediately remonstrated: "Although Liu Zhang is weak, there are still [-] Jia people in Yizhou, and the Duke of Ming leads a mere [-] people, so it is difficult to achieve great things..."

"But Jingzhou has no danger to defend, and troops need to be stationed everywhere. I am afraid that [-] soldiers is the limit." Liu Bei analyzed.

"My lord, all the [-] new recruits from Jingnan can enter Sichuan. Ziyu has already been trained in the Jiangwu Hall's new barracks, so they can be used." Zhuge Liang suggested.

Liu Bei nodded, "The date of return to Xichuan is undecided. Jingzhou needs to send people to stay behind. Which of the three military advisers is willing to enter Shu with me?"

The three looked at each other at the same time, Xu Shu's mother was old, he had to be by his side at all times to fulfill his filial piety, Jingzhou needed prudent and prudent people.

"My lord, I wish to join the army." Pang Tong volunteered.

"Very good, let's make some arrangements first." Liu Bei nodded.

The future of leading troops into Sichuan is uncertain, and Liu Bei is still worried about Jingzhou. He came to the small courtyard at night with worries to visit Gan Qian and A Dou.

Liu Bei saw figures swaying in the window on the porch, and heard an immature voice from inside the house: "The father is the king, and he is strict and respectful. Filial piety should be done, and loyalty should be done with one's life. When you are deep, you are humble, and you are gentle. Lan Sixin, like a pine tree..."

Under the influence of Lan Yuan and Lan Ji, A Dou became diligent under Gan Qian's strict teaching, and he was still reciting the thousand-character essay at night.

Liu Bei walked into the room lightly, A Dou was so engrossed that he didn't know it, watching his son's transformation, he couldn't help showing a kind and gratified smile.

"Adou, you are making progress." Liu Bei clapped his hands in affirmation.

Chapter 194 Lan Tian: Phoenix chick, I tried my best

Gan Qian had seen Liu Bei a long time ago, but did not disturb his interaction with A Dou.

Liu Bei took A Dou's little hand and asked affectionately: "You can already memorize the thousand-character prose. My father knows that you are working hard, but you still have to go to bed early at night."

A Dou shook his head and said: "Although I can recite it, I am not proficient. I want to learn from my cousin."

"Everyone's talents are different. You don't have to compete with others in everything. You have to be good at discovering your own strengths." Liu Bei comforted.

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were clever since they were young, so let Adou compare with these two, just like Xu Shu compares himself to Zhuge Liang, and a naive horse compares to Qilin.

"Uncle once said that a stupid bird can fly first, and hard work can make up for it. As long as I work hard, I will become a talent." A Dou nodded confidently.

Liu Bei was very pleased to hear this, and couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "A child can be taught..."

Gan Qian brought the tea soup, seeing her father's kindness and son's filial piety, she said happily: "Ziyu once said that the environment can affect others. I didn't believe it at first, but after staying with Yuan'er and Ji'er for a long time, A Dou was really influenced by them and changed into a I'm not as lazy as I used to be."

"Mother, I have worked very hard, and Ah Dou is not yet five years old..." Ah Dou argued.

"Mother knows that Ah Dou is hardworking, so I'm praising you to my father." Gan Qian said with a smile.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Father has noticed the changes of Ah Dou, now go back to the house and rest, how can people keep learning all the time?"

Ah Dou continued to argue: "Uncle said that there is no end to learning. If you want to live to learn, how can you stop?"

Liu Bei pointed at A Dou, and said with a dumb smile: "What your uncle said is very true, but this stop is not that stop..."

"Then I'll go to the couch and recite it again..." A Dou raised his head and followed the maid out of the room.

Liu Bei looked at A Dou's petite back and sighed, "A Dou is more diligent than I used to be, and his uncle's words are ten times more effective than mine..."

Gan Qian smiled slightly: "There is an old saying that nephews and uncles are on a blind date, husbands and lords don't have to be jealous..."

"Hahaha, man is not jealous, I'm just happy, but..." Liu Bei suddenly felt melancholy when he thought of staying away from Jingzhou.

"What happened to the general?" Gan Qian asked.

"Liu Jiyu from Yizhou invited me to Sichuan, and now the future is uncertain and the date of return is uncertain. I am worried about this Jingzhou. You and Adou should take good care of yourself." Liu Bei instructed.

After thinking for a moment, Gan Qian asked: "Yizhou has high mountains and far rivers. If the general can't return for a long time, can my concubine send the sister and brother Adou to Quanling, where Yuan'er and Ji'er will be by my side."

Liu Bei nodded, "It's a big deal to go to Yizhou. I have to ask Ziyu for advice. I have asked someone to invite him in the afternoon. It is estimated that I will arrive in Jiangling in two days. Then you can go south with him."

"Very good." Gan Qian nodded happily.

Now Quanling can be regarded as Ganqian's mother's family, and instead of being consecrated high in Jiangling, it is more comfortable to go back to her "natal family".

At this time, Lu Meng's land and water army had arrived in the South China Sea, and the situation in Jiaozhou had become unprecedentedly tense. Lan Tian didn't expect that Sun Quan would dispatch [-] people, so he contacted Lai Gong frequently to understand the situation, and asked Gao Shun to purge soldiers, horses, money and food, and was ready to pretend at any time Rushing to aid Jiaozhou.

After receiving Liu Bei's order, Lantian suddenly realized that it was time to enter Sichuan. Although the situation in Jiaozhou was also urgent, he felt it was more necessary to go to Jiangling.

When Lan Tian came to Jiangling, Zhang Fei and other generals were deploying soldiers and horses into Sichuan, while Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were preparing money and food.

Liu Bei and Lan Tian came to the Yangtze River on horseback. Looking at the rushing turbulence, Liu Bei said with emotion: "We will soon enter Shu. These few days have not been peaceful. Since Xinye, I have been used to asking Ziyu when encountering major issues, so I decided to ask Ziyu about it. I specially summoned you from Lingling."

"Brother-in-law has three military advisers, chief and deputy, and you can consult with us about any unresolved matters, and there will be no mistakes." Lan Tian said solemnly.

Liu Bei nodded, "Now I have drawn a lot of soldiers and horses into Sichuan. In order to prevent Cao's thieves from sneaking in, all parts of Jingzhou need to garrison troops to stay behind. Lu Meng in Jiaozhou can only let you handle it alone..."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I can protect Jiaozhou in Lingling." Lan Tian replied with cupped fists.

Liu Bei instructed: "With Gao Boping around, I don't worry about it, but Lu Meng's troops will pass through Jingzhou. If someone sees the identity of the fallen army, Sun Zhongmou may not be able to explain it. Ziyu must be more cautious..."

Lan Tian nodded: "I can save it."

"Originally I wanted to take Kong Ming away too, but the gentry in Jingzhou needed him to comfort them. Ziyu didn't want to be close to the gentry in Jingnan. These people have all gathered in Jiangling..." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"Which generals does my brother-in-law plan to bring into Shu?" Lan Tian asked.

"Ziyu is in Jingnan, I have no worries, I want Jiangxia and Nanjun to be under the command of Yunchang, and the rest of the generals will follow me to Shu as much as possible, so that we can settle in Yizhou early." Liu Bei said slowly.

Lan Tian frowned and replied: "General Guan, who is both civil and military, is the best choice for the governor of Jingzhou, but the other generals who have entered Sichuan, brother-in-law, you must carefully consider it."

"Why?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"Liu Zhang invited his brother-in-law to Sichuan, and I heard that many people in Yizhou dissuaded him. If his brother-in-law brought famous generals like Yide and Zilong into Sichuan, Liu Zhang would be afraid and guarded against it, and it would be bad for taking Shu..." Lan Tian explained.

Liu Bei nodded, "Ziyu's words are very kind."

"The newly attached people in Jingzhou are eager to make meritorious deeds. My brother-in-law should give them more opportunities to make meritorious deeds. I recommend Huang Hansheng, Wei Wenchang and other generals." Lan Tian continued.

"Ziyu's recommendation must be correct, what else should I pay attention to?" Liu Bei asked again.

Lan Tian raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered that Pang Tong died during his entry into Sichuan. It is a pity that such a genius died so early. It's too late to be regretted by Liu Ya.

In addition, in order to prevent the soldiers from acclimatizing, students can be transferred from the Medical School to join the army. If the Jiangling Medical School is short of manpower, I will ask Mr. Yuanhua to transfer from Quanling. "

Liu Jian Jiang Lantian looked serious, then smiled and said: "Ziyu is really cautious, I also know that the world is impermanent, everything is up to you."

Seeing that Liu Bei looked relaxed, Lan Tian was still worried and told him specifically: "Pang Shiyuan is as famous as Kong Ming, but he has been with brother-in-law for a short time. I am afraid that he will be eager to make meritorious deeds and sacrifice his life. Brother-in-law must make him be careful and not let him appear. In danger."

Whether Luo Fengpo was shot by Zhang Ren, or he was killed by an arrow, we must try our best to avoid it. It is not easy for Liu Bei to gather the current lineup of counselors.

Liu Bei understood now. Lan Tian spoke earnestly for a long time. It turned out that he was worried about Pang Tong's greed for success. He secretly kept it in his heart. Dare not ignore it.

People like Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian who have mastered the power of ghosts and gods can always make themselves feel at ease by asking before encountering major events.

In the end, Lan Tian found an excuse to borrow Lu Ma, and completely left the props that influenced Pang Tong in Jingzhou.

Lan Tian: Mr. Fengchu, there is only so much I can do...

Chapter 195 Blessing?Convinced

After confirming the civil and military personnel to enter Sichuan, Liu Bei summoned the officials to arrange the left-behind personnel in Jingzhou, and the prefects of all counties gathered in Jiangling.

Appoint Guan Yu, the general of the bandits, as the governor of Jingzhou, who is fully responsible for the defense of Jingzhou, focusing on preventing the invasion of Cao Cao in the north;

Appoint Jingnan General Lan Tian as the deputy governor of Jingzhou, assist Guan Yu in supervising the military administration of the four counties in Jingnan, and handle Jiaozhou affairs at a low cost;

Appoint Zhang Fei, the general who conquered the captives, as the prefect of Nanjun;

Appoint General Zhao Yun as Sima staying in the camp;

……

After settling the affairs of Jingzhou, Liu Bei led his army to set out from Jiangling, go upstream through the Yangtze River by water, and after arriving in Jiangzhou, turn to Dianjiang to Fucheng.

After Liu Zhang got the news, he led more than [-] cavalry and wanted to go to Fucheng to meet Liu Bei. Along the way, the chariots and curtains were shining brightly. They were all gifts for Liu Bei, and the people stopped and watched.

Zhang Song sent Fazheng to Fucheng first, and Fazheng advised Liu Bei, saying: "Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent. He has no kindness in Yizhou and the common people. He must not be prepared for this meeting. It is better to capture him while meeting."

Liu Bei shook his head quickly when he heard this, "No, this is a Hongmen banquet, this matter cannot be rushed..."

Pang Tong sighed: "If Liu Zhang can be held in Fucheng, my lord will decide Yizhou without a single soldier."

"When I first entered a foreign country, I didn't have any kindness and trust, so I can't do that." Liu Bei sternly refused.

When Liu Zhang arrived in Fucheng, Liu Bei sent his soldiers out of the city to greet him, and showed great courtesy.

Liu Bei was more than half a hundred years old and looked dignified, and Jingzhou soldiers and horses were solemn and orderly. Liu Zhang took Liu Bei into the city with a happy face. The two exchanged pleasantries and chatted like biological brothers on the way.

"Xuande is here, why is he wearing armor?" Liu Zhang asked as he walked.

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "There are [-] water and land infantry."

Liu Zhang stopped in his tracks and asked suspiciously, "There are millions of households in Jingzhou, why do you have only [-] soldiers? Could it be that it is dishonest to help me in Shu?"

Liu Bei sighed: "In the past, when Liu Jingsheng was here, he did have tens of thousands of armored soldiers. Unfortunately, Liu Cong obeyed the flattery and surrendered to Cao Cao. Most of them died in the Battle of Chibi. Jingzhou, which Bei Cang took over, was devastated. It is very difficult to ride ten thousand steps..."

Thinking of the mess in Yizhou, Liu Zhang felt a sense of sympathy with Liu Bei. He nodded and comforted him, and then asked, "It is rumored that General Guan Yunchang under my brother's command is brave and invincible. Did Xuande bring him to Yizhou?"

"Yun Chang is guarding against Cao Cao in Jingzhou, so he can't go to Shu with his preparations..." Liu Bei shook his head.

Liu Zhang was slightly disappointed, "I heard that General Guan's phoenix eyes and beautiful beard have the appearance of heaven and man, and Zhang felt very sorry that he could not see this righteous man..."

"Following me into Sichuan, there is Wei Yan, a heroic general, whose appearance is somewhat similar to Yun Chang. I will introduce Ji Yu later..." Liu Bei comforted.

Liu Zhang was a little stunned when he heard that, did I go for Guan Yu's appearance?People admire Guan Yunchang's reputation.

"It's a pity that Yun Chang hasn't arrived yet. Brother has another powerful general under his command. Is Zhang Yide, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, coming?" Liu Zhang asked again.

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, Liu Zhang seemed to know Jingzhou very well.

"Yide recently caught a cold and couldn't make the trip..." Liu Bei could only use Zhang Fei's illness as an excuse.

"This...it's such an unfortunate coincidence...that Zhao Zilong with the white robe and silver spear is always here?" Liu Zhang asked.

Liu Bei shook his head, "my wife Sun is pregnant, I let Zilong stay in Jingzhou to protect..."

Although Guan, Zhang and Zhao didn't come, Liu Zhang expressed some disappointment, but he trusted Liu Bei more in his heart.

Before leaving Chengdu, many people advised him, saying that Liu Bei was a wolf with ambition to seek Yizhou, and Wang Lei hanged the city gate upside down to admonish him to death. Now that I think about it, it is really stupid.

"Is that Mrs. Sun who is 'excellent in martial arts'? It is rumored that she is so beautiful and beautiful that she is like her father. My brother is really lucky."

Liu Zhang deliberately changed the topic. Although he was praising Sun Shangxiang, he still admired Liu Bei's strength in his heart. How can ordinary people control such a woman with a strong background and powerful force?

Liu Bei nodded embarrassingly, "Uh...blessing...convincing...Ji Yu's reputation..."

Liu Bei has been around the world for many years and has extensive knowledge, and he is also a member of the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhang talked with him like drinking nectar, and the two entered the city talking and laughing happily.

The two had a feast in Fucheng for more than a hundred days, during which Zhang Ren, who worked in Yizhou, advised Liu Zhang: "Liu Xuande is brave and ambitious, Pang Shiyuan is talented and resourceful, Jingzhou's soldiers are well-trained, and my lord invites him to Shu. It is not well thought out." Why don't you use the excuse that Zhang Lu has surrendered, and send some money to General Zuo to go out of Sichuan?"

Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Ren blankly, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Ren regards this as a joke? Liu Xuande is a hero in the afterlife, how can he come and go as soon as he is called? Besides, Zhang Lu's troubles are still unresolved. Lie Xuande back to Jingzhou, and he knows about Zhang Lu, why do the princes of the world look at me?"

"How about inferring Zhang Lu's rebellion?" Zhang Ren asked again.

"It's better not to talk about Zhang Zong. If Liu Bei's subordinates find out, they may make people laugh..." Liu Zhang shook his head, you are so naive.

"But Liu Bei is indeed very human. He is now the shepherd of Jingzhou. My lord can't treat him as a subordinate. If you treat him like a superior guest, then the state can't accommodate two lords. Please think twice." Zhang Ren continued to advise.

Liu Zhang pointed at him and raised his voice unconsciously: "You treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. There was Huang Quan and Wang Lei in the past, and now you are you. Xuande and I are both clansmen of the Han family. Can't we treat him like that?" Brother? Besides, he only brought [-] soldiers and horses, and the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all in Jingzhou. How can he take Yizhou from me with such actions? Don’t try to persuade me about this matter.”

Zhang Ren was momentarily at a loss for words after hearing this, Liu Zhang's analysis was not unreasonable, could it be that we people are overthinking?

Liu Zhang elected Liu Bei to be the great Sima and lead the Sili school lieutenant, while Liu Bei reciprocated and recommended Liu Zhang to be the general of Zhenxi and lead the Yizhou herdsman.

The two parties had a banquet for more than a hundred days and Liu Zhang was going back to Chengdu. Seeing that Liu Bei had few soldiers and feared that the attack on Zhang Lu would not go smoothly, he invested more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, countless vehicles, armor and equipment, and was rich in money, food and silk, and almost all the meeting gifts brought from Chengdu were sent out. , Let Liu Bei go north to attack Zhang Lu.

After Liu Bei got Liu Zhang to increase his troops, the total strength exceeded 3. He led his troops northward to garrison at Jiameng Pass. Instead of sending troops to attack Zhang Lu, he established kindness nearby and conquered people's hearts.

The reason why Liu Bei didn't listen to Pang Tong and Fazheng's words, and waited for an opportunity to capture Liu Zhang in Fucheng to settle in Yizhou, actually had his own considerations. The former Lantian told him to act cautiously, and this sentence impressed him deeply.

During his stay in Jingzhou, Liu Bei stayed with Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian, ​​two cautious people, for a long time, and he was influenced by them unconsciously.

According to Fazheng and Zhang Song, Liu Bei knew that Liu Zhang was not popular in Yizhou. Even if he controlled Liu Zhang in Fucheng, he might marry someone with ulterior motives. With the [-] soldiers brought from Jingzhou and the accompanying Pang Tong , Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other civil servants and generals, Liu Bei has no confidence to quickly pacify Yizhou.

Liu Bei learns how to farm steadily in Lantian, and slowly enter Yizhou through thick trees and kindness to accumulate people's hearts. This is the most stable and safest strategy.
