Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 343 Xu Shu Has the Most Right to Say

After hearing this, Lan Tian shook his head quickly: "General Lai can't be lazy, and it's useless to tell me about such things."

Lai Gong's smile didn't change: "Uh, I just got a feeling. Just now you sent General Liang Shuo up the water. I don't know why?"

Lan Tian frowned and replied: "Now that Jiaozhou has been pacified, I will lead my troops to Dongting as soon as possible. My lord will make peace with Jiangdong in order to take care of the overall situation, but the weak side is not qualified to negotiate terms, so I have to lead the army to strengthen the general. prestige.

Sha Moke, who was drinking the celebration wine next to him, heard the conversation between the two and immediately came over: "Do you want to subdue the Jiangdong rats? My barbarians have never had a good time fighting. General, you must take me with you."

Lan Tian shook his head straightly: "General Liang Shuo went up the river to call the transport team in Shi'an, and the entrapment army went to Dongting to deter them. There should be no war. You should stay in Cangwu to stabilize the situation. Jiaozhou has frequently changed officials over the years. , lest some bad people take the opportunity to make trouble."

"There is no war." Shamoke was a little disappointed.

"Since the general has a strong army, can I go to Dongting with you? By the way, I also want to go to Chengdu to pay homage to the lord." Lai Gong spoke earnestly.

Seeing that Lai Gong was determined to retire, Lan Tian couldn't help frowning and hesitating: "Jiaozhou is full of waste and is waiting to be employed. If General Lai is not here to sit here, will there be no one to handle the government affairs of the counties?"

"The general can manage Lingling with ease, so why don't you just call in some capable officials?" Lai Gong quickly complimented.

Lai Gong's words awakened Lan Tian. If he still had to take care of his family in Jingnan, then the remote Jiaozhou could let go of his hands and feet.

In recent years, Lai Gong and Wu Ju first fought. Later, Sun Quan sent his confidant Bu Zhi to refer to Jiaozhou. After Bu Zhi died of illness, he sent Wei Jing and Lu Fan. Already fled or disappeared.

Lan Tian agreed to accompany Lai Gong, and ordered Xu Shuang and Sha Moke to stay in Cangwu County, and Liang Tai to stay in Yulin County. Because Cangwu County had just experienced the war, it temporarily implemented military control in order to stabilize the people's hearts.

Lan Tian planned to transfer people from Jiang Wan to fill them in various grassroots positions in Cangwu County. These Qianshou children from Quanling Academy can finally display their ambitions after going through the experience of the Book and News Agency.

A large number of Qianshou's children became officials, which was the beginning of Lantian's leverage to the family's rule. Although Lantian was unable to change the mainstream pattern of the family's domination of power, it opened up a special channel for the common people. Untouchables could go to Jiaozhou if they wanted to change their fate.

The task Li Yi assigned in Shi'an was to prevent Lu Fan's sneak attack in the upper reaches of the Lishui River, but he didn't wait for Jiangdong soldiers to come after the war, but waited for Liang Tai's order.

Liang Tai and Li Yi are both old acquaintances in Berkshire. After Liang Tai reported the military situation in Jiaozhou and Changsha, Li Yi finally knew why the proud Gan Ning was willing to stay in Lingling as a general.

Lan Tian's deduction of the war was almost perfect, and Sun Quan could only say that he was unlucky to meet such an opponent.

After the two briefly talked about the old days, they led the transport fleet south to Guangxin, and then sent the fallen troops to Dongting by water in batches.

It takes more than ten days to go from Guangxin to Dongting by land, but it takes three or four days to get there by water, and the consumption on land is also very large. This is the fundamental reason why Lantian attaches great importance to river construction and waterway shipping. The head of the family must learn to plan carefully. , not only save time and effort but also save money.

The confrontation on the Yangtze River lasted for nearly 20 days. Lantian eliminated the invaders in Changsha and Guiyang one after another. Guan Yu’s life in Dongting was a little easier. As the news of Niu Jin’s southward travel reached Shuizhai, Guan Yu was no longer in the mood to “chat” with Lu Su .

Xu Shu was worried that the people around Jiangling would be slaughtered, so he sent Liao Hua to defend the front line of Dangyang, and asked him to rely on the terrain to block the attack. However, Liao Hua, who was born in the Yellow Turban, was not much, and Cao Ren's elite cavalry was very difficult to deal with. Sorrowful Yun looked worried until Yiji's clippers arrived at Dongting.

On the day Lantian soldiers left Weipuguan, Yiji rushed to Dongting in a fast boat ahead of Zhao Yun, bringing Liu Bei's intention to cede Jiang Xia to seek peace.

"Yizhou has just been pacified, and it is inconvenient to send troops, but General Zilong has been sent to bring back the Jingzhou navy. It should arrive in Dongting in two days. The general can negotiate peace with Jiangdong first." Yi Ji said.

Guan Yu shook his head: "Brother just sold Jiang Xia, I'm afraid it won't satisfy Sun Zhongmou's appetite. Now that Cao Ren sent Niu Jin to attack Jiangling, Lu Meng is still watching my jokes, but it will be easy for Zilong to come to Jingzhou."

"Yes, yes, with Zilong's reinforcements, we have more confidence in negotiating peace. Only by retreating from the Jiangdong navy first, can Yun Chang withdraw his troops and return to Jiangling." Yi Ji agreed.

"Uncle Ji doesn't know that Guan's confidence is not in Zilong, but in Lanziyu's side in Lingling. If the army hadn't defeated Cheng Pu, who was attacking from the direction of Jianchang, Changsha and Guiyang might have already fallen to the enemy." Guan Yu stroked his beard. sigh.

Yiji nodded slightly, "I don't want to think that the Yangtze River outside the threshold is so smooth and the wind is smooth, and the banks of the Xiangshui River are so dangerous? My lord really has a discerning eye."

Guan Yu immediately called Guan Ping and told him, "Pinger, Zilong will arrive in Jingzhou soon, and you should go back to Jiangling Wharf to meet him, so that he doesn't have to come to Dongting to meet me, but go back to the city to wait for the army commander to dispatch."

"Wei." Guan Ping took the order and left.

Jiangling City is the root of the Jingzhou gentry. If Xu Shu was not worried that the rest of the people would not be able to suppress it, he would have personally led the army to fight against Niu Jin. Now that there are no big names left in the city, he had no choice but to send Liao Hua as the vanguard. Completely change Jiangling's disadvantages.

As for whether Zhao Yun is useful or not?Xu Shu has been dispatching from Bowangpo, and he has more say than Zhuge Liang.

After Guan Ping left, Guan Yu didn't intend to sit still. He said to Yi Ji, "I'll clean up Uncle Ji later. Let's talk to Lu Zijing first. I don't think there will be a few rounds where we can't reach an agreement." .”

Yi Ji's buttocks were still hot, and he immediately stood up and responded: "Follow General Guan's orders."

Guan Yu sent Zhou Cang Jiangdong Shuizhai Tongchuan to invite Lu Su to the small island in the south of the lake to discuss matters in Jingzhou.

Lu Su originally wanted to go to the appointment in light clothes, but was stopped by Lu Meng on the grounds of safety. In the end, not only did he accompany a hundred soldiers armed with halberds, but he also asked Xu Sheng to lead fifty warships to dock outside the island.

There are no weeds and trees on the island in the middle of the lake, only bare piles of rocks, and the only landscape on the island is a small pavilion for enjoying the lake.

The island is not very big, and you can see it all at a glance.

Lu Meng found that there were only three people in the lake viewing pavilion except for a few guards who led the way.

"Is this guy Guan Yu stupid or arrogant? How dare a few people come to negotiate with us? This is even crazier than when several ships came to question him that day. He simply captured and killed him and directly occupied Jingzhou." Lu Meng said slyly.

Lu Su glared at Lu Meng: "General Guan is so arrogant, Ziming used this method to deal with him, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the heroes of the world? Besides, he and Xuande are brothers and sisters. If he really died at our hands, there will be no peace in Jiangdong. "
