Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 19 The Grape Message
After Gao Shun's military training in the school field, he returned to the trapped camp and found a bamboo basket in his tent. His subordinates told him that a farmer from Xiaopei had brought it.

He vaguely felt that it had something to do with Lantian, but when he opened the bamboo basket, it was just a basket of grapes. Was it just to give this?
Gao Shun is cautious, he took out all the grapes, and finally found the bamboo slip at the bottom of the basket. Lan Tian's meaning was simple and concise, that is, he wanted Lu Bu to rescue Liu Bei.

Gao Shun's political consciousness is very high, and his loyalty to Lu Bu will not be shaken because of his friendship with Lan Tian.

He left a bunch of grapes, and gave all the rest to Lu Lingqi, and told her that there was a letter from the bottom of the basket.

Lu Lingqi owed Lan Tian a favor, and if she didn't pay it back, it was up to the girl to volunteer.

After getting the grapes from Lantian, Lu Lingqi's face was full of happiness. She learned to put the grapes in wooden barrels and put them in well water to freeze them.

During the period of chilling the grapes, Lu Lingqi hid in her boudoir and took out the bamboo slips to look at carefully, but it was a pity that there was no content of her own for a few words, and she still kept the bamboo slips even though she was angry.

Although the handwriting was quite ugly, it was a gift from Lan Tian to her. Lu Lingqi didn't know how difficult it was for her to practice handwriting, and it was even more difficult to engrave words on the bamboo slips. Being able to recognize them was not bad.

Although Lu Lingqi has a bold personality, she is not stupid. For Lan Tian's invitation, she will not go to Lu Bu foolishly, but first serve the washed and chilled grapes to her mother Yan to taste.

In autumn, the grapes are dark purple and black, and they are too ripe to be ripe. After eating them, Yan nodded his approval and asked: "The taste of these grapes is excellent, even better than the ones you picked in Xiaopei. I don't know where my son came from." Where can I find it?"

"It was General Gao who happened to meet me in the city. He knew that I like this food, so he bought some and gave it to me." Lu Lingqi said.

"Boping has a noble character, and the general asked him to teach you, which is regarded as a wise eye." Yan sighed.

"Well, although General Gao did not follow his father from Bingzhou like Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian did, his extraordinary talent and self-discipline have won his father's trust."

Gao Shun's character is clear to Yan, she ate a few pills and suddenly thought of that peasant boy, "Lingqi, do you remember that peasant boy in the past? Back in Xiaopei you often went to his house to eat and drink. "

"Mother, you mean Lan Ziyu? This guy is very good at farming, and he thinks he will have a good life in Xiaopei, but..."

"Just what?"

Lu Lingqi paused for a moment before sighing: "It's just that Ji Ling is going to attack Xiaopei now, and I don't know if this sword with no eyes will hurt Chi Yu."

"The world is in chaos now, and it's not our woman's turn to worry about these military affairs." Yan shook his head.

"My son heard that Yuan Shu will take revenge for his grievances, and my father and Shou Chun will postpone their marriage, so that person will be offended." Lu Lingqi was a little worried.

Yan sighed: "The general has a long-term plan, but it's a pity that your marriage has been delayed."

"My daughter is not worried about marrying. If Ji Ling breaks Xiaopei and Yuan Shu goes north to attack the generals of Mount Tai, wouldn't our Xuzhou be in danger?" Lu Lingqi continued.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan was very surprised, and asked in surprise: "Could someone teach you? Is it Chen Gongtai?"

Lu Lingqi shook her head, "I saw this bamboo basket for grapes just now, and I suddenly felt something. Mother, do you want to remind father? His subordinates all have their own selfish motives."

"Well, I don't need this reason. Only my family is one-hearted. I will send some grapes later, and remind him by the way." Yan said.

The weather in autumn was still unbearably hot. At noon, Lu Bu was sitting in the small pavilion in the backyard drinking wine to enjoy the coolness, and Yan Shi followed him with chilled grapes.

"Is there something like this in Xiapi? Where did Madam find it?" Lu Bu asked while eating.

"General Gao came across it by chance and bought it for his daughter. You are in the honor of Lingqi." Yan covered her sleeves and smiled.

"Boping has become tactful recently, but it's a pity that this guy doesn't know how to drink. It's a great pity in life." Lu Bu sighed.

"General, what do you think this bamboo basket looks like?" Yan asked meaningfully.

"Square and square, what do you think it looks like?" Lu Bu didn't know what Yan meant.

Yan pointed to a grape in the basket and said: "If this is our Xiapi, the whole bamboo basket will be the Qingxu area. General, do you think it looks like it?"

"Hahaha, madam actually told me about the art of war. It's interesting, what else?"

"If Liu Bei's Xiaopei is defeated by Ji Ling, and Yuan Shu goes north to the Taishan generals, the general's Xuzhou will be completely surrounded by Yuan Shu." After Yan finished speaking, he threw the grape representing Xiaopei into his mouth. inside.

Lu Bu was originally leaning on the chair. Hearing what Yan said, his back suddenly felt cold in the hot weather. After sitting upright, he asked, "Who taught Madam what you said?"

"Is there anyone to teach it? It's nothing more than my slave's feeling." Yan was afraid that what she said was wrong and that Lu Bu would scold her daughter, so she carried it alone.

"Madam is right. Saving Liu Bei is equivalent to saving Xuzhou. Change clothes with me quickly." Lu Bu stood up.

Due to the urgency of time, Lu Bu put on the cloak and went ahead with Cheng Lian.

They were accompanied by more than a thousand personal guards. Before leaving, Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun to stay at Xiapi, and Zhang Liao led the rear army to Xiaopei to meet him.

At this time, Ji Ling's army had reached the village [-] miles away from Xiaopei. Zhang Fei led [-] cavalry out of the city to fight, and fought Ji Ling twice.

Zhang Fei was brave and invincible. After Ji Ling learned the lesson, he decided to let the army surround Xiaopei and attack it. 3 people attacked in circles. Liu Bei could only send people to defend the city.

When Xiaopei fought, all nearby farms closed their doors, fearing that the fish in the pond would be harmed.

Seeing Lan Tian sitting in the room thinking, Gan Ji asked, "Why is your plan for Qian'er ineffective? If Xiaopei City is broken, I'm worried that Yuan Shu's subordinates will not be as polite as General Gao. Isn't your sister in danger?" What?"

"Father, don't worry, there are thousands of soldiers in Xiaopei City, enough to resist Ji Ling for several days, I expect Lu Bu will come to rescue." Lan Tian said confidently.

"I hope so, I would have brought your sister back if I had known." Ganji sighed.

After Ganji finished speaking, Lantian seemed to think of something, he opened the door and slipped out of the house, and finally went to the grove behind the house.

"Tian'er, what are you going to do?" Ganji asked in a subdued voice after chasing after him.

"Father, you go back first, I'll go to the back to urinate"

Ganji was speechless for a moment, and said to himself that there is no urinal at home, you don't farm the land now, don't you want to leave some manure (fertilizer) to water the vegetables?
Ji Ling attacked the city until the evening of the second day. He knew that Xiaopei City was short of soldiers and food, and could basically take it in two or three days.

Ji Ling was shocked when he heard this, and wondered if Liu Bei's rescuers had come?So Ming Jin withdrew his troops and stopped the siege.

After returning to the camp, the scouts reported again that the cavalry was flying the Lu character banner.

At this time, Ji Ling already knew that it was Lu Bu who was coming, and he didn't know whether he was here to help him or Liu Bei, so he immediately ordered the whole camp to be on alert.

After Lu Bu's vanguard arrived, they camped in the southwest of Xiaopei, only three or five miles away from Ganjiazhuang.

Lan Tian saw the torches like a long dragon outside the house, and guessed that the mediator Lu Bu should have arrived.

This thing is done.
