Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 363 Lan Tian Said Ma Chao

"Yun Chang is afraid of Ma Mengqi?" Lan Tian asked intentionally.

Guan Yu raised his head and stroked his beard: "Is Ziyu joking with me? There are few people in the world whom I can catch my eyes."

Lan Tian nodded, "Ma Mengqi is now like a tiger in Pingyang. Unless the heavens give him wings, he will hardly be able to make a comeback. General Guan's martial arts look down on the world, so he probably won't take him seriously."

"That's why I'm curious. Ma Mengqi's bad deeds can't be washed away, so he shouldn't be very popular. The big brother put him in Linju mainly to deter Cao thief, not because he really wanted to reuse him, but why did Ziyu Today?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.

Lan Tian sighed and said: "Ma Mengqi is also a hard-fated person. His family, wife and children are all dead, but he has a high prestige among the Qiang Di. If we can treat each other with sincerity, in the future, my brother-in-law will leave Yizhou to collect Yongliang , with the help of this person, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

Guan Yu pointed at Lantian and laughed: "Ziyu said he was a tiger, but you want to turn him into the wings of your elder brother. Isn't that a little too much?"

"I was born to be useful. I don't think Ma Mengqi wants to be useless because of his abilities?" Lan Tian continued to explain.

"Then what happened after elder brother pacified Yongliang?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian looked calm: "There are still alien races in Saibei, they live by water and grass, and often rob people on the border. We need generals to guard the border. When the world is settled in the future, we must learn from the sages and reopen the Western Regions."

Guan Yu asked solemnly and doubtfully, "Is there really such a day?"

"As long as the belief is there, someone will complete it. If the time left by God is not enough, then leave it to future generations to complete it." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

Guan Yu complained: "Well said, I will observe Ma Mengqi's place carefully. Ziyu remembers to come and go often when he goes to Jiaozhou."

Lan Tian smiled all over his face: "My brother-in-law also asked me to supervise Lingling and Guiyang, and it can't be said that I am completely out of touch with Jingzhou. Anyway, the water transportation is convenient, and I will definitely come here often."

"The school and workshop in Lingling, and the mining and smelting in Guiyang are all Ziyu's painstaking efforts over the years. I don't feel at ease handing them over to outsiders. I recommended Xi Zhen to him." Guan Yu explained.

Lan Tian nodded, "Sun Quan's loss of soldiers and generals, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the future. As long as the waterway of the Yangtze River is guarded and Jiangling does not fall into the enemy's hands, the whole Jingzhou will be safe."

"Ziyu can rest assured." Guan Yu was full of confidence.

"Yun Chang goes to rest first, and I have to go to the post house." Lan Tian immediately got up and walked slowly outside the hall.

Lan Tian just took two steps, Guan Yu stopped him and said, "Lan Ji's child, Guan, is quite sympathetic, if you really want to send me to Jiangling as a guard, that's fine."

"I knew that Yun Chang would agree. When Ji'er grows up, I'll send it over when he's about ten years old." Lan Tian turned his head and smiled slightly.

"Then it's a deal." Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard.

Lan Tian walked out of the room with a smile, Gao Shun who was outside the door followed him, vaguely heard that Lan Tian was going to send Lan Ji to Jiangling, so he was always depressed on the way to the post house.

"Is something wrong with Boping?" Lan Tian keenly noticed Gao Shun's abnormality.

Gao Shun asked suspiciously: "Just now I seem to have heard that Mr. Ji'er is going to be sent to Jiangling?"

Lan Tian nodded lightly: "Ji'er is a little ignorant, and needs to find a dignified person to teach him."

Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "Uh, I can. If you're not obedient, I'll hit you."

"It's okay for Boping to teach Yuan'er, but you are not as strict as Ma'am for Ji'er." Lan Tian smiled wryly.

"I will try to be stricter in the future. Mr. Guan is very clear about General Guan's personality. Even adults can't handle it. Ji'er will definitely suffer when he is sent to Jiangling." Gao Shun couldn't bear it.

Lan Tian shook his head, "My wife and I have discussed it a long time ago, but this matter will have to wait for two or three years, and we will talk about it after Ji'er grows up to ten years old. It is indeed younger now."

Gao Shun's nervousness relaxed, "This is great, Ji'er might become sensible in the past two years."

Lan Tian smiled and said nothing, Gao Shun didn't seem to care so much about his son Gao Ling, and the two rode to the post house afterwards.

In the post house, Lantian met Yuan Wei, Lai Gong, and Xia Houzuan, and asked them to go to Quanling with me tomorrow, and finally go south to Jiaozhou to take up their posts together. Afterwards, Hao Pu and Xi Zhen said that they would go to Guiyang to hand over first, and then take them with them. The family members went to Lingling to serve as the prefect.

After settling for home, Lan Tian finally came to Ma Chao's door.

Dong dong dong

Gao Shun knocked on the door. Although Ma Chao drank some wine under Lan Tian's recommendation, he still remained sober. He never thought that Lan Tian would come to find him.

"Mr. Xuan Xiao, what is this?" Ma Chao was full of doubts.

Lan Tian chuckled: "I'm going back to Quanling tomorrow, and I'll come and confirm the departure time with them, and drop by to see if General Ma is drunk."

"Sir, I'm still sober." Ma Chao nodded.

"Don't invite me to sit in the room?" Lan Tian pointed to the room.

Ma Chao hurriedly gave way, cupped his hands and apologized: "The last general is rude."

Lan Tian and Ma Chao entered the room and sat facing each other by the table. Gao Shun stood beside Lan Tian with a serious face. It was rumored that Ma Chao's martial arts skills were astonishing, and he was worried that Lan Tian would be alone with this villain.

"I know all about Meng Qi's family affairs, do you have other relatives besides my younger brother?" Lan Tian asked softly.

Ma Chao was overshadowed: "My father and hundreds of people died in Yecheng, and my wife and children died in Jicheng. Now Bozhan (Ma Dai) and I are like duckweeds in troubled times. I fear that we will never be able to return to our hometown in this life. I don’t know. Can you kill your enemies with your hands?"

Hearing this, Lan Tian knew that Ma Yunlu was gone, and Zhao Zilong's marriage to the Fan family was considered a remedy for the dead.

Lan Tian didn't answer directly, he looked outside the door and said solemnly: "My lord and I met in Xiaopei. At that time, the Cao thief attacked Tao Qian and slaughtered Xuzhou. I don't know how many souls were caused. I was lucky to survive that catastrophe." After coming down, Xuzhou was attacked by Cao thief again, the lord and his family and brothers were separated, and then met in Runan for several months, how many people do you think there were before coming to Jingzhou?"

"Unknown." Ma Chao shook his head.

"At that time, my lord, there were only a hundred or so people around me. Because I never gave up my ambition, I have the situation of sitting on the top of the world today." Lan Tian said seriously.

Ma Chao smiled wryly: "I don't have the same ambition as my lord, now I only have an unforgettable hatred."

"Fang today, only the lord can fight against Cao thief, and there is a great chance to avenge his hatred. I heard that Meng Qi's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but I saw that you are quite depressed today. This is not good for the country and yourself. The so-called greater ability comes with greater responsibility." Big, you have to think more about your own songs and your own disciples," Lan Tian persuaded.

"At the beginning, in order to get away from Zhang Lu, I only brought my younger brother Bozhan into Shu. As for those parts that stayed in Hanzhong." Ma Chao shook his head and did not continue.

"What about the parts left in Hanzhong? Could it be that they are all incompetent people? So the general is unwilling to take them away together?" Lan Tian asked continuously.

Ma Chao shook his head again, "I left only a hundred pieces in Hanzhong, just like the original master, but all of them are good men from Xiliang, especially the Zhonglang general Pang De, who often falls into battle first and is the most courageous."
