Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 368 Paper Tigers Are Useless

Lan Tian and Lai Gong chatted in the side hall for a while, Lai Gong thought that his family members were still waiting at the pier, so he bid farewell to Lan Tian and prepared to leave.

The two came out of the side hall at the same time, and walked side by side along the courtyard road to the gate of the mansion. When they reached the gate of the temple, they suddenly stopped in Lantian. (Note: In the Han Dynasty, the government called the temple, and 罘罳 fu si was the screen behind the door)

"My sister and nephew are far away in Chengdu. Although they are dignified, they are outsiders after all. In addition, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu are by my side. The lord may not be able to cover everything. Deshun will always be with the lord when he enters Shu. Please take care of him." Tian's relatives" Lan Tian cupped his hands and bowed.

Lai Gong was shocked and said: "Mrs. Gan and the son belong to the lord's family, but the lord's family affairs are state affairs, and I will definitely persuade them with all my heart."

Lan Tian nodded and sighed, "Thank you very much. My lord is actually very measured. I just did it for peace of mind. After all, the mountains are high and the water is not easy to meet."

Lai Gong replied solemnly: "Mr.'s relatives are my relatives, so you can rest assured."

"Then I'll take you to the pier." Lan Tian waved his hand to go around Fufu.

Lai Gong shook his head hastily: "Sir, when you first came to Jiaozhou, things were busy, Captain Hu was still waiting in the main hall, it is already a great courtesy for you to send here, so Lai Gong bid farewell."

Lan Tian immediately nodded and did not insist on sending it.

Lai Gong bypassed Fufu and walked out of the temple gate, while Lan Tian went back to the front hall of the main hall to meet Hu Ke. In the hall, only Gao Yuan and him were there.

"Let's go, let's talk in the back hall." Lan Tian stretched out his hand, and Hu Ke and Gao Yuan immediately followed.

Since the establishment of the Jiaozhou Governor Department in the Western Han Dynasty, Guangxin has always been the seat of Jiaozhou's government, but later Jiaozhou governors Zhu Fu and Zhang Jin died one after another.

The two did not give in to each other in Jiaozhou. Later, Lai Gong lost to Wu Ju and was driven to Yulin. That's why Guangxin fell into Wu Ju's control. The state capital became Wu Ju's general's mansion. The layout of the mansion refers to the great city in the Central Plains. In the official temple, the front hall of the main hall is grand and spacious, and the speech echoes. It is usually used for large court meetings, and more often it is discussed in the back hall of the main hall.

Lan Tian and Hu Ke sat down in the back hall, "Looking at your relaxed face, is there any happy event at Shihui?"

Hu Ke clasped his fists and replied: "Recently, Shi Hui received a letter from Jiangdong Zhang Zhao. In the letter, Zhang Zhao reprimanded Shi Hui for killing Wei Jing with poison, and threatened to use all his troops to attack the Shi family. If he understood the current affairs and gave up the South China Sea again, the military disaster would be avoided. , otherwise the Shiqian Sacrifice Flag in Jiangdong will be killed first."

"Sun Quan's navy did not dare to move lightly, and Cheng Pu's land troops were almost wiped out. What would he use to attack the scholars?"

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, since he defeated Sun Quan, he didn't pay attention there, probably because the two families were at war, and the Books and Press Office had very little information about Jiangdong.

Hu Ke: "Zhang Zhao has explained clearly in the letter that Sun Quan sent He Qi as the chief general and Lu Xun as the deputy general to Yuzhang. If you follow Luling down, you will be in the South China Sea."

"Go get the map of Yangzhou." Lan Tian's originally relaxed nerves tensed up. Lu Xun is a figure who can support Jiangdong's appearance. If he is really sent to Jiaozhou to fight against him, he dare not take it lightly.

"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and left.

Taking advantage of the gap between getting the map on the plateau, Lan Tian frowned and continued to ask: "What's Shi Hui's attitude? Should we fight or give up the South China Sea?"

"Didn't you see the fighting power of the Dragon Brigade before? It also put down the local Yueyi rebellion, and it was completely incapable of competing with the Central Plains army. However, Nanhai is a large salt-producing county in Jiaozhou, and Shi Hui doesn't want to give up this area yet. Fat meat, so I thought of us." Hu Ke replied.

Lan Tian snorted coldly: "The so-called brothers are like brothers, Jiang Dong threatened his elder brother's life, it seems that Shi Hui is still indifferent."

"Shi Qian is the eldest son of Shi Xie. If Sun Quan were to kill Shi Hui, Shi Hui could justifiably inherit the title. Of course he would be indifferent." Hu Ke analyzed.

"Rights and wealth are like a touchstone. Try to find out the ghosts and monsters in the world. As for whether to send out troops to aid the soldiers, I will analyze and analyze the map of Yangzhou. Jiaozhou is just starting now. If it is pulled into the quagmire of war, I don't know how long the development will be delayed. " Lan Tian shook his head.

Hu Ke nodded, "I have been putting pressure on Shi Hui for a long time, and it would be best if the Shi family can take the initiative to give up the South China Sea."

"If you can really accomplish this extraordinary feat, I will recommend you to the lord as the prefect of the South China Sea." Lan Tian encouraged.

Hu Ke smiled slightly: "A low-ranking official does not have the ability to be in charge of a party, but it is quite exciting to be such a meticulous worker."

When Lan Tian heard it, good guy, you are addicted to playing undercover and lurking, do you want to set up a secrecy bureau for you?

"One thing I've never figured out is why Wei Bai, who accused Wei Jing of poisoning him, escaped under Shi Hui's nose? Shouldn't he be executed or sent to places like Longbian?" Lan Tian asked curiously. .

Hu Ke was a little proud when he heard this: "After expelling Jiangdong's soldiers and horses from Jiaozhou, I threatened Shihui that Jiangdong might come to seek revenge, and asked him to go back to Jiaozhi to discuss countermeasures with Shixie. It was during the time when Shihui went to Jiaozhi Here, Wei Bo found an opportunity to escape from Panyu."

"Did you do something?" Lan Tian frowned.

Hu Ke chuckled: "Wouldn't I be exposed if I did something wrong? At that time, the humble official went to Jiaozhi with Shi Hui. Because he left too quickly, he didn't have time to deal with Wei Bai, but Wu Siding's caravan stayed in Panyu. "

"Smart and intelligent, a child can be taught." Lan Tian looked relieved.

The masters who make thousands at the gambling table are usually covered by their companions, so that it is not easy to show their flaws.

Hu Ke was affirmed by Lantian, and his heart was full of joy. Although it had something to do with his personality, he would not have reached his current height without the courses in the martial arts hall.

While the two were talking, Gao Yuan brought a map of Yangzhou and hung it on the wall.

Lan Tian went to the map and looked carefully. Sun Quan claimed to be in command of the six counties and 81 prefectures in Jiangdong. The population and wealth of Jiangdong were mainly concentrated in the Wuhui area in the northeast, and Yuzhang and Luling, which bordered Jingzhou in the west, were also somewhat developed.

If there were lighting aerial photography at that time, the population gathering place in Jiangdong would be like a crescent moon, and the vast part where the moon is vacant has more mountains and less rivers.

After reading the map, Lan Tian instantly felt relieved. He Qi and Lu Xun would not travel thousands of miles to seize the South China Sea. Even if they can successfully occupy the South China Sea, they will need to garrison a large number of troops. After all, some people have tried to capture the South China Sea. It's not high-handed enough.

"Go back and tell Shi Hui immediately that I will send troops to the South China Sea to garrison, but the military expenses need to be settled by yourself. There is no such thing as free food and drink in this world." Lan Tian instructed Hu Ke.

Hu Ke nodded, "They must be clear about this, but are you not worried about Jiang Dong?"

Lan Tian smiled contemptuously: "Mountains are rampant in Jiangdong. Before Sun Quan wiped his ass clean, how could he have extra energy to manage Jiaozhou? It's nothing more than scaring Shihui. Paper tigers are useless in front of me."
