Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 53

In August of that year, Liu Bei took all the people west to Jingzhou, and sent Jian Yongti to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao learned that Liu Bei was coming to vote, he went to the outskirts to greet him personally, and was treated as a guest of honor. Lantian and others temporarily stationed in the outskirts of Xiangyang.

At this time, it was not good for Liu Zheng to fight Jingnan, and when he was depressed, he wanted Liu Bei to help him pacify Zhang Xian.

General Cai Mao advised: "Liu Bei is also a hero. He competed with Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others for hegemony in the Central Plains, and he had to switch to the lord. If he put down the rebellion and instead won the hearts of Jingnan, he might become the next Zhang Xian. Brother-in-law is not as good as Kill this person, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Xuzhou Tao Gongzu."

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Xuande has always had a good reputation, besides, after he became Emperor Jing with me, how can he be killed so easily? Let's observe for a while."

"He still has hundreds of troops on the outskirts of the city, brother-in-law, you have to guard against it." Cai Mao reminded.

"I think they are all refugees, De Gui, don't be suspicious." Liu Biao laughed.

Liu Biao often invited Liu Bei to dinners and accompanied him. Although the hospitality was warm, he did not settle him in a certain city in time like Tao Qian, which made Liu Bei extremely anxious.

After arriving in Xiangyang for more than a month, it was already late autumn. The trees where Liu Bei was stationed were withered and yellow, and the golden wind blew several times, and yellow leaves fell all over the ground.

Liu Bei raised his head and sighed: "Life is like a leaf, which will wither sooner or later. In the age of no doubt, nothing will be accomplished. The autumn wind will kill everything."

"Brother-in-law is sad again?" Lan Tian asked as he passed by.

Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi reunited, and they often chatted together during this period. They have experienced many things in the past year, so there is no such pressure as Liu Bei.

"Ziyu persuaded me to vote in Jingzhou. Although Liu Jingsheng treated me politely, he didn't let me wait for a long time. What can I do?" Liu Bei's face was full of anxiety.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "Although Liu Biao is not as talented as Cao Cao, he can ride Jingzhou alone, and he is by no means a mediocre person. He does not dare to reuse his brother-in-law now, so he must be afraid. Brother-in-law, you must learn to show weakness when you see him again. When Yuan Shao's letter of recommendation comes, there should be some changes."

"Showing weakness?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Lao Tzu says: Defeat the strong with the weak, use the softest in the world to ride the hardest in the world." Lan Tianxin said that your words come from the Tao Te Ching, so you should understand what I mean.

Liu Bei nodded and seemed to realize something, and Lan Tian added: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Although autumn is the main kill, it also means harvest. Brother-in-law, you have to be patient."

"Ok."

A few days later, Liu Biao came to invite him again. On the way to the banquet, Liu Biao wanted to relieve himself, but Liu Bei got up to see him off, but suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Biao felt strange, "Why is Xuande like this?"

Liu Bei said suddenly: "Bei usually never leaves the saddle, so the flesh of his legs disappeared. But he didn't ride again after a month in Jingzhou, so the flesh of his legs grew. I lament that the sun and the moon flow like a stream, and the old generals are coming, but the achievements are not built. Sad ears."

Liu Biao seemed to have realized something when he heard the words, but he still had his own considerations, so he didn't express his position immediately.

Seeing that Liu Biao was still unmoved, Liu Bei was so depressed after returning to the camp that he didn't think about eating or drinking.

Gan Qian approached Lantian and asked, "Ziyu persuaded her husband to come to Jingzhou to establish a career, but Liu Jingsheng doesn't want to use it, and Xuande is depressed all day long. Do you have a solution?"

Lan Tian thought that Yuan Shao's letter of recommendation should also arrive, because Sun Qian had also arrived in Jingzhou a few days ago, and Yuan Shao would personally send an envoy to send a letter to Liu Biao. Could it be that he forgot because of the fierce battle at Guandu?
Lan Tian thought for a while and came up with a plan, "Maybe Sister can find a pen, ink, and silk?"

Gan Qian shook her head and said, "Does Ziyu want to write something? I'll get it from Xuande."

After a while, Gan Qian fetched a pen, ink and silk.

Lan Tian picked up the brush, and slowly wrote on the silk: There are unpredictable things in the sky, and there are good and bad times for people.A centipede with hundreds of legs cannot fly as fast as a snake; a rooster with its wings cannot fly as fast as a crow.Horses can travel thousands of miles, and they cannot go without them; people have the ambition to reach the sky, but if they are not lucky, how can they force their fortunes? No one wants to be rich.This is time, luck, and fate.

When Lan Tian was at a low point in his life, he often read this Hanyao Fu to remind himself. At this time, he slightly revised this Fu and deleted the part of Zhuge Kongming, intending to use it to motivate Liu Bei.

"Sister gave this prose to my brother-in-law, so that he should not underestimate himself, but cheer up and wait for luck." Lan Tian said after writing.

Gan Qian can also read. Seeing that the characters on the silk are easy to understand and catchy to read, they are very meaningful, so she asked: "This is like a prose. I wonder if it has a name?"

Lan Tian recalled Liu Bei's sorrow for autumn that day, so he said calmly, "Let's pay for the autumn wind."

Gan Qian regarded "Autumn Wind Fu" as a treasure, and went to see Liu Bei holding it in both hands.

Liu Bei was shocked after reading it. He said in astonishment: "Ziyu is really a genius in the world. I really shouldn't underestimate myself. It should be that my luck is not here. I will keep this Fu close to me and often use it to encourage myself."

Seeing Liu Bei regain his strength, Gan Qian said happily, "My husband should have done this a long time ago. Ziyu asked Miss Lu to come to Jingzhou in advance, probably because she expected that she could establish a career here."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Madam's words are reasonable, when we settle down, we will get married for them as soon as possible."

"Well, leave it to me when the time comes." Gan Qian said happily.

A few days later, Liu Biao summoned Liu Bei to Xiangyang again, saying that he would allocate [-] soldiers, horses, food and grass to station him in Xinye County, Nanyang County, and order him to defend Cao Cao from going south.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard that, and thought that maybe Yuan Benchu's recommendation letter had arrived. At this time, he admired Lan Tian very much.

In November of the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei finally went to Xinye County, north of Jingzhou, after lingering in Xiangyang for several months.

Xinye County is located in the middle of Nanyang County, and it is a small gateway county leading to Xiangyang in the south.

Nanyang County is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu. Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, 13 were from Nanyang. However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, these wealthy families in Nanyang did not develop into a family and gradually declined.

Later, this place was occupied by Yuan Shu. In order to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, Liu Biao had no choice but to declare Yuan Shu as the prefect of Nanyang.

This place is adjacent to Sili and Yuzhou. In addition, the former is occupied by Yuan Hou and Zhangxiu. A large number of people were displaced by the war and the population dropped sharply. Therefore, the influence of the nobles in Jingzhou on this area is limited.

Although Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye as a guest general, he finally had a place to settle down.

At this time, Liu Bei was backed by the big tree in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao could not attack as wantonly as he attacked Runan.

After having a territory, his subordinates and generals took up the post and filled all the jobs in Xinye, but the arrangement for Lantian was very difficult.

This guy doesn't want to be a military adviser, but is willing to help Liu Bei to farm.

Liu Bei felt that assigning a farm officer to Lantian was really overkill. At this time, Guan Yu suggested: "Brother, you might as well learn from Cao Cao to farm in Xudu. You can appoint Lantian as the captain of Diannong and let him play the role of director in Xinye. The rest of the people are also very restrained."

After hearing this, Liu Bei thought so, so he appointed Lantian as the captain of Diannong, and allocated 300 people to him to plant grain in Xinye.

But it was only three days since Lan Tian took office as Captain Dian Nong, he gave Liu Bei a big surprise.

　Thanks to Penfiat for the reward, and thanks to the friends who voted.
