Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 632 I Seek Hope in Jiaozhou

Lantian arrived in Xiangyang in early February. The fighting in the north had ended for more than ten days. Most of the families of the fallen soldiers were in Jingnan and Jiaozhou. Even if they won, they would return home.

After staying in Xiangyang for two days, Lantian found Liu Bei and Guan Yu to say goodbye.

"Bei originally planned to get together for a few more days, but I didn't want Ziyu to return home like an arrow." Liu Bei was a little bit reluctant.

Lan Tian clasped his fists and explained: "We have been out for several months, and there are many important matters in Jiaozhou that have not yet been decided, so we can only bid farewell to the king and the generals for a while."

"Alright, after all, state affairs are the most important thing." Liu Bei nodded.

Zhang Fei asked: "Ziyu is leaving today? Second brother, arrange a boat for me, and I have to go to Wudu too."

"The third brother is also in such a hurry?" Guan Yu frowned.

"National affairs are the most important thing, and I take Ziyu as an example." Zhang Fei said, patting his chest.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, then at Guan Yu, and said in a low voice, "Since Ziyu and Yide are leaving, I will go to Jiangling to join Xiaozhi first, and work hard for my second brother to guard Xiangyang."

"Brother, don't worry, if Guan X is here, Fancheng and Xiangyang will not be lost." Guan Yu clasped his fists sonorously.

"Okay, okay, okay, I don't know when the three of us will meet next time." Liu Bei patted Guan Yu's shoulder with a sad expression on his face, after all, Chengdu and Xiangyang are too far away.

Seeing that both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were feeling sad, Zhang Fei said to Lan Tian, ​​"Won't Ziyu know how to count? When do you think we brothers will meet again? It would be best if you, Lan Ziyu, are there."

"Uh, as long as all the places are recuperating and accumulating strength, after a few years the country will be rich and the people strong, and the military food will be sufficient. The king and Yide soldiers will go out of Qinchuan to break Yongliang, and Yunchang will take the people from Jingzhou to Wanluo. Everyone will meet in the old capital. Okay?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Very good." Liu Bei and Guan Yu held each other's hands, looked at Lan Tian and replied in unison.

"Huh? This is Kong Ming's Longzhong, right? Ziyu, you are too cunning, aren't you? Remember to come together when the time comes, and don't forget my kelp," Zhang Fei reminded.

kelp?Everyone was at a loss after listening, how did Zhang Fei's taste change?

Lan Tian smiled and nodded, "Kong Ming's Long Zhong Duo is the most suitable for the king. Follow the plan and the world can be determined. When we meet again in Luoyang, I will definitely be there."

"I can't say no, but remember the agreement with me anyway." Zhang Fei implied that he was talking about Jiang Wei, and Lan Tian immediately nodded knowingly.

"Yun Chang, I asked Boping to recruit [-] soldiers for you. I am currently taking care of those Jiangdong prisoners of war in Jiangxia. Sun Quan should have no money to redeem them. He can arrange the prisoners of war to serve as corvees in various counties, so that the [-] soldiers can Release the restraint." Lan Tian reminded.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, "Ziyu is still thoughtful, and I will discuss it with Yuanzhi later."

"Pay close attention to the movements in the north. Cao Cao probably won't have many years to live. If the state of Wei is in chaos because of this, there may be a chance to go north earlier." Lan Tian instructed Xu Shu again, his eyes were firm at this time, as if telling the other party, Cao Cao The astrology is true.

Because Lan Tian gave Cao Cao a spoiler, I don’t know if he will kill Sima in advance, Cao Pi may not be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, Wei Guo may be in chaos, and Guan Yu will be able to reap some benefits at that time .

Xu Shu nodded and replied, "There have been constant wars in Jingzhou in the past six months. Whether it is Jiangdong, Central Plains or Guanzhong, our information has been temporarily suspended. However, once I receive the information, I will send it to Chengdu and Guangzhou as soon as possible."

"Very good." Lan Tian nodded.

Two hours later, Xiangyang Hanshui Wharf.

Guan Yu and the Xiangyang generals saw off by the river. Seeing the soldiers boarding the ship neatly, he couldn't help but sighed to Liu Bei: "The soldiers who fell into the formation have the ambition to fall into the formation. They have made great contributions in this battle. Gao Boping buried them in Jiaozhou. It is really a shame." It's a pity."

"People have their own aspirations, how can we force them? Besides, the folk customs in Lingnan are tough, and Ziyu needs them to deter them." Liu Bei explained for Lantian.

When the two were talking, Chen Dao came over and clasped his fists to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, we and General Yide have only a small number of people, and we have all boarded the ship. Look."

"Wait a little longer, anyway, we are on the same road with Ziyu, and we will set off together later." Liu Bei replied.

"Wei." Chen Dao turned and left.

After staying at the pier for half an hour, all the entrapment troops had boarded the ship, and hundreds of ships on the Han River set sail at the same time. The only difference was that Zhang Fei's few ships did not set sail because they were going westward.

Lan Tian ordered Jiang Xia to order Li Yi's navy to wait at Dongting Lake, while he and Gao Shun took the Han River to the Yang River, and finally entered the Yangtze River to the east, which would save two hundred miles of water.

Liu Bei simply boarded Lantian's boat because he was going to transfer to Jiangling.

As the territory grew larger, the titles of the two became higher and higher, and the number of meetings became less and less. Thinking of the years in Xiaopei, Liu Bei often visited Lantian's house, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

At that time, although Liu Bei was very down and out, he didn't have so many worries about having a small number of soldiers. He needed to balance the forces of various factions when he became the queen of Hanzhong. The reason why the party attaches great importance to it.

After this reward from Xiangyang, the Yuan Cong faction, Jingzhou faction, and Dongzhou faction have reached a balance in internal affairs and military affairs, so the higher he goes, the more lonely Liu Bei will feel.

Lan Tian has maintained his original intention for so many years. He is not greedy for power, money, or beauty. He has his own lofty ideals and persistence. Even if he shows superb strategies and insights, he can make Liu Bei feel warm, so there is no need to worry too much when talking with Lan Tian. many.

Liu Bei chatted with Lantian about Jiaozhou and Jiaozhou's reforms on the boat. He always felt that Lantian was a bit too idealistic.
Now Lantian can hold the scene in Jiaozhou, but such a great talent Liu Bei can't let him be trapped in the border area.

Liu Bei asked worriedly: "I can't say that Ziyu's reforms are wrong. Judging from the current situation, Jiaozhou is developing well in all aspects. The establishment of schools, craftsmen, and businesses has given the head of Guizhou an opportunity, but these measures are not related to internal affairs and culture. A soldier? You said that it takes a lot of time to settle, who can guarantee that it can last forever? Ziyu is a talent for helping the world, and it is impossible to just let you be the state shepherd."

"What exactly does brother-in-law want to say?" Lan Tian asked back.

"I'm worried that Ziyu's painstaking efforts will end in vain. One Jiaozhou can't stop the general trend of the world. Who will succeed you and me in a hundred years?" Liu Bei smiled wryly.

Lan Tian replied solemnly: "If there is only one voice in the world, then it means that there is no voice. The poor will continue to be poor, the rich will become richer, and the noble families will become bigger and bigger. If you meet a mediocre person like Huan Ling The lord, the gentry may endanger the imperial power and bring disaster to the world again.

Jiaozhou’s new rules are like seeds, different voices, and hopes. Sooner or later, most ordinary people will make their own choices. As for how to continue and not be swallowed by the gentry, I also have my own ideas. "

"I would like to hear from you." Liu Bei became interested.
