Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 120 Liu Qi Has a Big Appetite
Zhuge Liang said awe-inspiringly: "Liu Yuzhou is the man of the emperor's family, and he spreads loyalty, benevolence and righteousness all over the world. Besides, my lord is entrusted by the emperor's blood to wipe out evildoers. He should have summoned a group of heroes to fight against the country's thieves. How could he bow himself to the thieves for his own selfishness?"

Sun Quan stood up angrily, thinking that Liu Xuande was unwilling to follow the thief, should I?

The disparity in military strength, not to mention the fear of the Jiangdong officials, Sun Quan did not make up his mind to fight decisively.

Lu Su knew that Zhuge Liang was using aggressive methods, so he immediately took up the topic and said, "Since Liu Yuzhou wants to seek out thieves, Mr. Kong Ming must have a countermeasure? The so-called military is expensive, and Cao Cao won Xiangyang and Jiangling but did not move. It is really strange. "

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Zijing is a brilliant man, don't you understand Cao Mengde's tricks?"

"Mr. please clear up your doubts." Lu Su bowed his hands and asked without shame, what's the use of face if we can form an alliance against Cao Cao?

"Cao Cao's soldiers are all northern infantry. Even if there are millions of mobs, they can't easily cross the Yangtze River. His navy is only 2 people in Xiangyang. It is difficult to capture Jiangxia with this force. How can we talk about being able to Jiangdong? The elite water army to fight? If we fight against it at this time, the northern army will be a fish and shrimp."

"Then Cao Cao stood still in Jiangling?" Lu Su seemed to understand something.

Zhou Yu immediately snorted coldly: "Cao thief is delaying time, until his warships are ready and the navy is formed."

Zhuge Liang gave a thumbs up, "What the governor said is absolutely true."

Sun Quan was very excited when he heard that, and said happily, "then we can't give Cao Cao time to prepare, we should discuss the battle strategy as soon as possible."

"If you want to defeat Cao Cao, you have to send troops as soon as possible, depending on the battle." Zhuge Liang added.

It was getting dark outside, and the waiter lit up candles in the hall, and Zhou Yu asked someone to fetch the map of Jingzhou, planning to discuss how to march overnight.

Lan Tian and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and said to themselves that you are still using maps, and we are already sand tables.

"Mr. Kong Ming, how many soldiers and horses does Liu Yuzhou have?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

"Ten thousand sailors, three thousand cavalry." Zhuge Liang replied.

After hearing this, Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Some are missing."

"The [-] sailors were borrowed from my lord Liu Jingzhou." Lan Tian hurriedly said.

"Yes, I borrowed it." Zhuge Liang nodded quickly in agreement.

Lan Tian didn't have any reputation in Jiangdong, he just sat aside and didn't say a word. Sun Quan, Lu Su and others didn't value him very much, as if he was Zhuge Liang's entourage.

At this time, he suddenly swore the ownership of the navy. Zhou Yu wondered if Liu Qi had some ideas, so he asked, "I wonder how many troops Liu Jingzhou has besides the [-] sailors?"

Lan Tian raised his head and pretended to think, then calculated to himself, "General Liu Pan of Changsha has [-], Lingling has [-], Guiyang has [-]."

I can't even remember how many troops my family has, and Sun Quan and Lu Su all have contempt for him.

"There should be another [-]." Lan Tian said loudly after 'calculating'.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and nodded perfunctorily, "Liu Jingzhou still has a lot of troops, Gong Jin, now you can discuss how to deploy the battle."

"My lord, it's getting late at this time. Kong Ming and Ziyu have come from a long way. It's time to throw a banquet to cleanse the dust. It's not too late to discuss the battle strategy tomorrow." Zhou Yu suggested.

"Haha, I was the one to be rude, Zijing, order a banquet for the two gentlemen." Sun Quan waved his hand.

"Wei." Lu Su bowed his hands in response.

Lan Tian seldom spoke, no matter when he was meeting with Sun Quan or at the welcome banquet, and he always spoke with the caressing tone of a common man, pretending to fight for Liu Qi's interests.

After the banquet, Sun Quan asked everyone to rest early, and to discuss the battle tomorrow morning.

Sun Quan left Zhou Yu and Lu Su behind after the meeting, and said coldly, "Liu Qi actually took Jingnan secretly and saved [-] soldiers and horses. Judging by Lan Tian's face, he seems to want a piece of the pie too."

Lu Su said: "Liu Qi may not be able to get back the [-] sailors lent to Liu Bei. In the future battle of the Yangtze River, Liu Qi's troops will not be of much use."

"Zijing is right. Liu Pan's [-] soldiers in Changsha have some combat strength, and the rest should be the mobs like Jinxuan and Han Xuan. However, after forming an alliance with Liu Qi, Demou's Jianchang garrison will be able to participate in the battle. "Zhou Yu added.

Sun Quan worried: "I don't know how big this guy's appetite is. If we want us to help him conquer Jingzhou, there is no need to form an alliance with Liu Qi. Who is this Lantian? Why has he never heard of it before?"

Lu Su explained: "It is said that he is Liu Qi's confidant brought out from Xiangyang. I think this person can write articles and is very good at cooking, but his talent is far from being comparable to that of Kong Ming."

"That's right, if you really have the talent of Kong Ming, how could you go to join Liu Qi? You have to find someone to test his bottom line." Sun Quan said.

Zhou Yu disdained to talk too much with Lan Tian, ​​Lu Su saw this and said: "Now that we are full of wine and food, the two must have not gone to bed early, I invite him to go for a walk in the city."

Seeing Lu Su's open-minded personality, Zhou Yu also said, "Then I'll talk to Kong Ming about how to break Cao."

Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian were placed in the Chai Sang Inn, while Zhao Yun and Chen Dao stood guard in front of the house like two door gods.

Seeing that there was still candlelight in Lantian's room, Lu Su asked Zhao Yun, "General Zilong, is Mr. Ziyu going to sleep?"

Before Zhao Yun could answer, Lan Tian pushed the door open, "Mr. Zijing looking for me?"

"Just now, I didn't show proper manners, so Su Te came to apologize." Lu Su cupped his hands.

Lan Tian: "Zijing is too polite, please come inside."

Lu Su shook his head and said, "I want to go for a walk in the city to digest food. I wonder if Ziyu would like to go with me?"

There are no street lights in this era, and when you go for a walk in the city in the dark, Lan Tian said in his heart that you are really in a good mood.

Chaisang is an important military town in the northwest of Yangzhou. Zhou Yu implements militarized management here. Although there are no street lights in the city, there are many soldiers patrolling back and forth with torches, so the streets are not so deserted.

"How long has Mr. Liu Jingzhou been with you?" Lu Su asked first on the road to provoke the topic.

"It's been a long time," Lan Tian replied vaguely.

Lu Su saw that this guy couldn't go on the road, so he asked again: "Liu Jingzhou has the style of being a father, and now the four counties in Jingnan are full of heart and spirit, I wonder what his ambition is?"

Lan Tian knew that Lu Su asked whether his ambition was false and whether the division of interests after the war was true, so he said: "The ministers under my rule, because Liu Cong hastily defected to the enemy, caused many family members to stay in Jiangbei. Going down to Jiangling."

Want Jiangling?The appetite is really not small.

Lu Su thought about it again, Jiangling and Wuling County are across the river, so it is reasonable for Liu Qi to take back his hometown.

"Jiangling has Cao's army stationed, even if the Yangtze River water battle wins, it will not be easy to conquer this important town in the north of the Yangtze River." Lu Su's words imply that Liu Qi has no ability to capture Jiangling.

Lan Tian pretended to be surprised, "The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Wouldn't it be easy to defeat Cao Cao on the Yangtze River and capture Jiangling? My lord has [-] to [-] soldiers."

Lu Su was very speechless, why should he emphasize [-] to [-] soldiers?Among them, the most elite navy was taken away by Guan Yu, and the remaining [-] went to fight Jiangling. Isn't it just a dream?

"Twenty to thirty thousand soldiers are also difficult." Lu Su reminded.

"It's okay, I won't blame you if I can't beat you." Lan Tian was full of confidence.
