Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 190 I'm afraid this is not a fool, right?
As soon as Lan Tian sent Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei away, Gao Yuan came to see him in a hurry, but turned around and saw that it was Lai Gong's brother-in-law Lu Tan.

"The end of the new year is approaching, and General Lu is not in Bushan to reunite with his family, so what is the purpose of coming to Quanling?"

"There is an urgent military situation in Jiaozhou, and the governor sent me to deliver a letter to the general."

After Lu Tan finished speaking, he handed the letter in his arms to Gao Yuan. Lan Tian frowned after seeing Lai Gongxin. He originally thought that Bu Zhi and Wei Jing had left Jiaozhou and would live in peace for a while, but things were so confusing.

At the end of last month, Wei Jing returned to Panyu. In the same month, Shi Wu, the prefect of the South China Sea, died of illness suddenly.

Nanhai County is the largest county in Jiaozhou for salt production, and has always been an important place for taxation of scholars. During the funeral of Shiwu's death, Sun Quanbiao Wei Jing was the prefect of Nanhai, and officially extended his hand into the border of Jiaozhou.

Shi Wu's death was too sudden, Sun Quan was positive about Wei Jing's appointment, but Shi Xie didn't respond at all, which was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.

The power in Jiaozhou changed from three to four. Lan Tian was worried that this delicate balance would be broken. After reading Lai Gong's letter, he tapped the desk in front of him with his hands.

"I've already known about this matter. You should report to Mr. Lai's family to find out in many ways. If there is any change, I will support him." Lan Tian said comfortingly.

"Brother-in-law is not worried about Wu Ju and Shi Xie, but he is afraid that Sun Quan will send troops to occupy Jiaozhou," Lu Tan replied.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Lai can rest assured that this possibility is unlikely. After all, Cao Cao is still stationed in Huainan, and Sun Zhongmou may not dare to send troops to Jiaozhou."

"I see." Lu Tan nodded.

Let Gao Yuan send Lu Tan off, and Lan Tian returns to the back house to enjoy family relationships with his wife and children.

The two brothers Lan Yuan and Lan Ji wrestled in the courtyard to keep warm, while Deng Ai was beside them giving them advice.

Lu Lingqi was wearing a newly made tiger fur. She sat on the porch watching with her hands in her sleeves, and there was a brazier next to her feet to keep warm.

Lan Tian walked into the backyard and took a look, Lu Lingqi looked like a female leader screaming in the mountains and forests.

"Husband, what are you laughing at?" Lu Lingqi asked in surprise.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "It's just Xiaojun who wears this outfit, and others can't wear this kind of aura."

This is the so-called seller's show and buyer's show. After giving birth, Lu Lingqi's figure is plumper than before, but because of her long-term martial arts training, she looks heroic and valiant, giving people a sense of hardness and softness. She wears tiger fur fur like a majestic female leader. If you change someone, you may become a rich man.

"In front of the children, look at your mouth. I'll ask someone to bring the boiled wine. How about we watch them play and drink to keep warm?" Lu Lingqi turned her head and asked.

Lan Tian was taken aback after hearing this, are you still addicted to drinking? "It's still early."

"It's freezing cold now, just drink some hot wine to warm up." Lu Lingqi got up and left after speaking.

Looking at Lu Lingqi's graceful departure under the eaves, she looked like a tigress strolling back to her nest in the forest.

"Father, hurry up and judge." At the moment when Lan Tian was in a trance, Lan Ji walked over angrily.

"What's wrong?" Lan Tian patted Lan Ji's head suspiciously.

Lan Ji pointed to Lan Yuan and said, "Brother, he was playing tricks just now. He agreed not to grab his feet in wrestling. If he doesn't have my strength, he will foul."

Deng Ai led Lan Yuan and walked over, Lan Yuan waved his small hand: "Who is not as strong as you? Just now I wanted to grab your waist, but I accidentally touched your leg."

"You are not as strong as I am. You can't grasp your waist and you still call yourself a master." Lan Ji teased deliberately with his hands in his arms.

Deng Ai came over and whispered a few words in Lan Tian's ear, and then Lan Tian realized that the second child was acting like a baby on purpose. He frowned and said angrily, "Where did the kid get his waist? No, next time you will grab Yuan'er's leg too."

"What father said is true?" Lan Ji asked with a smile.

Lan Tian nodded, "You need to be flexible when doing things."

Xiao Lanji took it for granted, he put his hips on his hips and said to Lan Yuan, "Brother, did you hear what father said just now?"

Lan Yuan was full of doubts, thinking what did I hear?

"Don't understand? I can grab your leg if you fall, but you must obey the rules." Lan Ji said seriously.

"What?" Lan Yuan scratched his head, what did I miss just now?
Seeing Deng Ai's unkind smile, Lan Ji patted his leg, "Brother, what are you laughing at? Remember to judge according to this later."

Lan Tian held Lan Ji's little hand, and said earnestly, "It's a matter for both parties to obey the rules. If Yuan'er doesn't abide by the rules, the game will not be able to continue. But there are also disadvantages of being too obedient, that is, it is easy to imprison ideas."

"Father, should we obey the rules?" Lan Yuan asked.

"Adults change, gentlemen change, and villains change. The core idea of ​​the Book of Changes is to be flexible. When to abide by the rules and when not to abide by them depends on the timing. Just take the example of your brothers playing just now, in order to continue playing. Rules are necessary." Lan Tian explained.

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were confused by what they heard, Deng Ai quickly tugged on Lan Tian's skirt to remind them, meaning that the two of them haven't finished reciting the thousand-character text, so why don't you explain the Book of Changes to them?

Lan Tian immediately came to his senses and continued, "I'll give you an example from a story. The Zhou Dynasty used etiquette to govern the world. This etiquette is the rule. Even in war, you must follow the rules and etiquette."

"Rules must be obeyed in war?" Lan Ji found it inconceivable.

Lan Tian nodded and explained: "It is an honor to participate in wars during the Spring and Autumn Period. Ordinary people and slaves are not qualified to fight, they can only do support work such as transporting materials and making weapons. The minimum requirement for participating in a war must be a 'soldier', and there are strict etiquette during wars. , not only must the teacher be famous, but also need to be aboveboard, and conspiracy and tricks are not allowed, for example, you can't attack the enemy's monarch when he is in funeral, and you can't attack when the enemy's country is famine."

Lan Yuan and Lan Ji scratched their heads, what they usually hear and see is quite different from what Lan Tian is talking about now.

"Father, are these strange war etiquettes real?" Lan Yuan was a little disbelieving.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "I will tell you two stories to understand. The first is the battle of Yanling between Jin and Chu. The leader of the Jin army met the king of Chu three times during the battle. He followed the etiquette and walked down the battle. Che took off his hat to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu gave him a bow, but he did not dare to accept the reward, but bowed three times, and then turned to find the Chu army for a decisive battle."

"This is really stupid. The battle to capture the King of Chu is over." Lan Ji, a three-year-old child, felt that it was outrageous.

"Father, what is the other story?" Lan Yuan asked.

Lan Tian continued: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was civil turmoil in the Song Dynasty. Gongzicheng met his enemy Huabao on a narrow road. Huabao shot an arrow first and was dodged by Gongzicheng. Huabao felt that it was wrong to put down the bow and arrow, and then he was shot by Gongzicheng."

"This Huabao...isn't he a fool?" Lan Ji was dumbfounded.
