Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 108

Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains and out of the kingly way, and the local power is mainly controlled by the local wealthy family. During Zhang Jin's tenure as assassin, he failed to fully control the place.

Among the seven counties in Jiaozhou, Jiuzhen County, Rinan County, and Jiaozhi County are all controlled by Jiaozhi prefect Shi Xie. Hepu County prefect Shi Yi and Nanhai County prefect Shi Wu are Shi Xie’s brothers, so Jiaozhou belongs to the Han court in name, but In fact, it is the brothers of the scholar family who are the emperors of the land here.

After Wu Ju was appointed as the prefect of Cangwu County, he took control of Nanhai County to the east. Instead, Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, only had Yulin County, the weakest of the three forces in Jiaozhou.

The high-spirited and high-spirited Xinjiang officials, Wu Ju and Lai Gong were both Liu Biao's generals, but after arriving in Jiaozhou, neither of them accepted the other, and the two often broke out local wars for their own interests.

With the strength of a county, Lai Gong was caught between the Shi Xie brothers and Wu Ju, and he felt more and more difficult.

However, when the house leaked and it rained overnight, Shi'an County in Lingling County in the north rose suddenly, absorbing many people from Yulin County and Cangwu County.

Because Wu Ju controlled the two counties, plus Liu Qi in Lingling and Liu Bei in Guiyang, he could bear to lose some people. Lai Gong was already having a difficult life, and the people in Yulin were attracted away wantonly. He felt that the governor was coming to an end, so he took countermeasures.

Recently, I heard that someone in Shi'an County is recruiting soldiers, and many Yue people from Yulin County also rushed to join the army. Lai Gong asked people to fish in troubled waters to sabotage, and Lu Tan needed to stir up sharp ethnic conflicts to make this area turbulent again.

The turbulent and chaotic Shi'an County can't attract outsiders, and maybe some people will spit out. Lai Gong didn't want to backstab Liu Qi, but the reality forced him to take action. This was a trick he couldn't think of.

After listening to Lu Tan's description, Lan Tian fell into deep thought. The complexity of Jiaozhou made him think simply. It seems that planning for this place will not happen overnight, mainly because Shi Xie brothers are too capable.

"Husband, Lai Gong is very insidious, we managed to stabilize the situation, we must teach him a lesson." Lu Lingqi said angrily.

Lu Tan's face turned green when he heard this, Lan Tian said: "Take them back first, I have to think about it."

"Sir, then these Yue people." Lu Tie asked for instructions.

"If you really want to join the army, then go with us, if you don't want to go back by yourself." Lan Tian waved his hand, these guys must have been fooled by Lu Tan, and the actual combat effectiveness does not feel very good.

"Make" Abu replied with a smile.

"He said he was willing to go." Seeing Lan Tian looking at him, Lao He hurriedly translated.

When everyone returned to Shi'an County, Gao Yuan heard that Lu Lingqi and Lantian were attacked, and immediately raised his fists to fight: "My lord, sir, how about I take hundreds of people to Yulin to deal with Lai Gong?"

"Old Gao, we are not General Boping," Lu Tie reminded.

Gao Yuan blushed and didn't speak. He knew he had courage, but Gao Shunlai had to attack the city and command the battle.

"Husband, do you want to transfer Boping?" Lu Lingqi asked, this time Lai Gong deliberately provoked, if there is no reaction at all, it will make him feel easy to bully.

Lan Tian shook his head. It has been 13 years since Jian'an, and Cao Cao will go south to Jingzhou in a short time. No matter how rich Jiaozhou's products are, he can't spend money and food to get them now, but it is still necessary to beat Lai Gong.

Lantian asked someone to bring Lu Tan to the county captain's mansion, "What do General Lu think of my Shi'an customs and customs?"

"The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. The scenery is beautiful and the people are outstanding," Lu Tan replied with a smile.

"Since the scenery is beautiful, let's stay for a longer period of time, but Mr. Lai must be worried when General Lu sees that you haven't returned for a long time. Why don't you write a letter for Lao He to bring back to report your safety?" Lan Tian suggested.

Hearing this, Lu Tan's smile gradually froze, and he hurriedly said, "I still have a wife, children, and mother at home, why don't I deliver the letter?"

"Old He said the same thing just now, since he was wounded by a sword on his arm, General Lu should not argue with him." Lan Tian laughed.

After Lu Tanxin finished speaking, he would confess here in this life. He was under pressure to write a book on the spot. In the letter, he talked about Shi'an's outstanding people, especially Liu Qi's strong soldiers and horses. live in peace.

After sending Lu Tan to the posthouse for custody, Lan Tian asked Gao Yuan and Lu Tie, "I need someone to accompany Lao He to Yu Lin to meet Lai Gong. I don't know this man's temperament very well. I don't know who of the two is willing to take risks." ?”

"Me." Gao Yuan (Lu Tie) said in unison.

Lan Tian looked at Lu Lingqi beside him, and thought that everyone in your family is doing well.

After Lan Tian's observation, this Lu Tie is relatively smarter, Lan Tian instructed: "Shi'an still needs people to guard, this matter is left to General Lu to handle it, regardless of success or failure, safety must be the first priority.

If Lai Gong wants to threaten you, you can agree to any conditions first, and you can tell him any secrets, but you must return safely, understand? "

"Wei." Lu Tie replied excitedly, a people-oriented leader like Lan Tian is hard to find anywhere in the world.

The terrain of Jiaozhou is complicated and full of miasma. In order to save time on the road, Lantian asked Lu Tie to take a boat to go south through Langshui to get to Zhisuobushan County in Yulin County. It would take at least half a month by land.

"Husband, can a letter deter Lai Gong?" Lu Lingqi asked.

Lan Tian shook his head, "This Lv Tan is Lai Gong's wife and younger brother, staying in Shi'an is considered a hostage, and with Lao He and Lu Tie in the past, Lai Gong should be cautious. The battle on the Yangtze River is about to start, and Jiaozhou can only plan slowly. "

"Yangtze River? Husband is talking about Jiangxia? Didn't General Gan go?" Lu Lingqi looked curious.

"The north has been pacified, and there are not many days before Cao Cao goes south," Lan Tian sighed.

Lu Lingqi clenched her fists, "I will pick up my martial arts when I go back. Even if I can't fight the enemy, I will protect Yuan'er and Ji'er."

Lan Tian patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry, Xiao Jun, I'm in charge of everything."

"Well..." Although Lu Lingqi still remembered her father's feud, she now had other concerns.

"General Gao, how about the tribe led by Abu? Can they train good soldiers?" Lan Tian asked.

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Yue people with good martial arts skills have long since joined the army. These dozens of guys can only be regarded as middle-to-lower level, but most of them are very clever."

Although Lu Tan is not good at running the army, he still has a good eye for picking troublemakers.

If Lantian hadn't accidentally thrown a stone, this Zhi'an County might be in chaos once again.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, "It's good to be clever, and such a person can be used by me. Go and invite me the leader of Awa, and by the way, call two soldiers who understand Yue people's language and have a more clever personality."

"Wei." Gao Yuan responded and turned to go out.

Lu Lingqi asked puzzledly: "Husband, why did you call those savages here?"

Lan Tian smiled mysteriously, "Lai Gong asked them to come to Shi'an to make trouble, and I can let them go to Jiaozhou to fight back."

Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard that, she thought to herself, can this Yue person still listen to you?
