Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 589
In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian and Guan Yu parted ways on the shore after breakfast, and the quilt they had slept on was promptly taken away by the magistrate of Linju County.

The north wind blew all night last night, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness outside Linju City.

Zhou Cang's right hand is holding the Green Dragon Saber, and his left hand is holding a rope and striding through the crowd. The other end of the rope is connected to Lu Meng, whose hands are tied.

Large flakes of snow fell from the sky, and Lu Meng's beard and hair became mottled and mottled a lot. He couldn't guess what his own fate would be, but wondered why the surrendered trilogy boarded the boat.

The gloomy weather makes people depressing, but Lan Tian on the deck is in a happy mood, and he can't help humming again: Drink the celebration wine today.
When the fleet sailed into the waters of Zhijiang County, the gloomy sky gradually became brighter again. Lan Tian guessed that the snow only covered around Jingshan Mountain, and the closer to Jiangling, the better the weather would be.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Yi's fleet arrived in the south of Jiangling City, and saw many numb and moving people outside the city from a distance.

Because thousands of captives were to be disembarked, Lan Tian took the opportunity to disembark for a rest. As soon as his feet landed on the soil of the pier, he saw several familiar figures, namely Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Pang De, and Lan Ji.

"Ziyu."

"General."

"Father."

Lan Tian hurried up to meet him, and asked very curiously, "Why are you here? Could it be that Governor Su told you?"

"Military officer, take a look? I said that Ziyu has a good brain, and there are things in the world he doesn't know?" Zhang Fei showed a row of big white teeth to Xu Shu.

Lan Tian responded with a smile: "Yide, Ling Ming, you came here very quickly, did you gain anything on the way?"

"Guess. Forget it. You don't need to guess that there are so many captives on the pier. You can guess with some brains. We made a lot of money on the way." Zhang Fei scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Lan Tian thought of Sun Jiao who fled to the north, and Zhu Ran who Liao Hua pursued from Xiangyang, and thought that after so many days without news, would he pass by Pound's cavalry?

"Didn't I tell you to go north to Fancheng? Why did you turn back and stay in Jiangling?" Lan Tian frowned suddenly.

"We can only blame Pang Lingming for having too few cavalry. After we fought the last battle in Maicheng (located in the southeast of Dangyang), we have captured more than 3000 prisoners. If we don't send them to Jiangling and hand them over to the military division, we will just I can kill him on the spot." Zhang Fei muttered.

"You turned back from Maicheng?" Lan Tian exclaimed.

Zhang Fei asked suspiciously: "Is there anything wrong? It's just that too many prisoners were captured in Maicheng, and the thousands of Jiangdong soldiers chased them in a panic. I won't be polite to those who say it."

"Have you met Master Liao?" Lan Tian asked again.

"That's right, that's the advantage of pure cavalry. When Liao Yuanjian chased to Maicheng, Ling Ming and I had finished fighting, but he was in a hurry to return to Xiangyang, so he didn't come to Jiangling together." Zhang Fei explained.

Lan Tian said in his heart, what a guy, Liao Hua chased him all the way from Xiangyang to Maicheng, and in the end you picked the peaches. Unfortunately, the great military exploits were not mixed up, and Maicheng also changed to a new script after losing.

"Is there any general killed or captured?"

Lan Tian thought about knocking Jiangdong bamboo poles, and those little-known Jiangdong generals could take them in exchange for food, gold and silver.

"What kind of skill is killing an enemy general? Lingming and I agreed to try to capture him alive, but his luck was better. I only met eight generals in total. I accidentally killed three and captured five. Among them was the chief general." It's Zhu Ran." Zhang Fei pursed his lips.

Lan Tian looked at Pound and signaled, "Ling Ming, what about you?"

"The last general beheaded five lieutenant generals, and seven generals captured Jiangdong alive, including the chief general Sun Jiao and the superintendent Gu Li." Pang De replied with his fists clasped.

Lan Tian gave an affirmative look, you have caught all the fish and shrimp in this net.

"Sun Quan was cruel this time, and I really feel a little scared when I think about it. Has General Guan returned to the front line in Xiangyang?" Xu Shu asked.

Lan Tian nodded and replied: "Xiangyang was taken by General Guan with tricks. Cao Cao became so angry that he must go south to seek battle. General Guan returned to Xiangyang from Linju land to sit in town. After handing over the Jiangdong prisoners here, I will also take the army to help the battle by water. Yuan Until you settle the captives, you must arrange money and food as soon as possible, Jingnan and Jiaozhou Jiang Gongyan will cooperate with you."

"Don't worry, Ziyu, I will make arrangements immediately. Yide and General Pang are going north, right?"

"That's natural. The cavalry is very useful in the north, so you can start immediately after you rest."

Pang De stood up straight and cupped his fists: "The last general will immediately go to organize the army and prepare to go. Will the third general still go with me?"

Zhang Fei turned his head to stare at Lan Tian and asked, "Are there any Jiangdong soldiers who can fight behind us?"

"There shouldn't be any more in the future. If there is a master Liao, he will handle it smoothly." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.

"Since we can't fight in the future, I'll follow Ziyu by boat, and you don't need to worry about me, Lingming." Zhang Fei waved to Pang De.

"Then I will take my leave first." Pound nodded slightly, and then slowly withdrew from everyone's sight.

Seeing that Xu Shu seemed inconvenient to say something, Lan Tian asked Gao Shun to take Zhang Fei aboard and arrange wine and meat to serve him, and then asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else Yuan Zhi needs to do?"

"Ziyu, please take a step to speak." Xu Shu pointed to a secluded place beside him.

The two of them will walk to the same shed. Xu Shu looked at the prisoners queuing up to disembark and sighed, "Sun Quan's surprise attack would be fatal, but his vitality would be greatly injured. In the attack on Fancheng, it should be Cao thief who was injured."

"It's just that Jiangdong has resentment towards Jingzhou, and Sun Quan is also short-sighted. He has never had real allies in politics." Lan Tian shook his head.

"What's your attitude towards Jiangdong now?" Xu Shu asked.

"Punish slightly and keep the status quo. The main enemy is Cao Cao." Seeing that Xu Shu didn't fully understand, Lan Tian recounted the exchange with Guan Yu that night.

Xu Shu nodded frequently when he heard it, and then praised: "Ziyu has the same opinion as me. I have sent people to Chengdu to decide the situation here. I believe that Kong Ming will think the same way."

Lan Tian said affirmatively: "It took more than a month for the envoys to go back and forth. I hope that Cao Cao has been repelled by then. Let's settle the score with Sun Quan."

Guan Yu, who is a fake Jieyue, can handle the Jiangdong issue alone, but Xu Shu is worried that his stubborn personality will cause bad things, so he curves to save the country and sends a letter to Liu Bei to make a decision. At this time, he asked Lan Tian to cover for him.

"Xiangyang and Fancheng are each other's horns, but Xiangyang's terrain is more dangerous. As long as General Guan can rely on the terrain and not be impatient, Cao Cao will retreat sooner or later." Xu Shu shook his head lightly.

"Yuanzhi has great insight. If Jiangling didn't need to sit in town, I really want to take you to Xiangyang." Lan Tian sighed.

Xu Shu quickly waved his hands: "Yun Chang has Ziyu to help him."

The fleet handed over the prisoners at the pier, and set sail again an hour later. When Lan Tian waved goodbye to Lan Ji on the shore, Gao Shun sent a letter mysteriously.

Lan Tian opened it and saw that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Seeing this, Zhang Fei came over and asked, "Is there anything happy about it?"

"Boyang, boy, did a good job in Guangzhou." Lan Tian showed a fatherly smile.
