Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 64 Liu Bei: Lan Ziyu always surprises me
Liu Bei's attack was naturally Lan Tian's idea. To be precise, he played Gao Shun's idea. Although there are only a few hundred people left in General Gao's camp, his ability to command troops may be stronger than Guan Yu's.

During the Northern Expedition to Xudu, the strength of Xinye was less than [-]. Xu Shu's ability had not yet been verified. The only thing Liu Bei could do was to take all of Guan Zhangzhao away, and the safety of the rear could only be handed over to Lantian and Gao Shun.

During Xu Shu's preparations in Xinye, Liu Bei directly sent someone to Dengjiazhuang to deliver an order, ordering Lantian to take his soldiers to garrison in Xinye.

Liu Bei didn't take the attitude of discussing, but directly issued orders from his superiors and subordinates. This was the first time since Lantian defected.

After Lan Tian asked about the situation, he realized that the northern expedition to Xudu was necessary.

He immediately called Lu Lingqi and said, "Xiaojun, pack up immediately, we are going back to Xinye."

Lu Lingqi looked puzzled and said: "The spring plowing has started now, and the seeds will be sown in a while. What are you going back to Xinye when the farming is busy?"

"Brother-in-law asked me to go to Xinye to garrison, he should have drawn all the troops in the city." Lan Tian explained.

"Where is General Liu going to attack?" Lu Lingqi was very curious.

"Xu Du."

Lu Lingqi didn't speak, she thought that Liu Xuande couldn't even beat Gao Shun, but now he has the guts to beat Xu Du?But she still went back to the house to pack her bags.

Lan Tian called Gao Shun again, "General Gao, we are going to garrison in Xinye now, how many people do you think it is appropriate to bring back?"

Seeing Lan Tian's firm tone, Gao Shun replied, "If no foreign enemy comes to attack, two or three hundred people for security patrols are enough."

"Then select 400 strong men from the farmers in the village and join your camp to make up [-] people. We will immediately go to Xinye to garrison." Lan Tian said seriously.

"Miss, are you going back to Xinye too?" Gao Shun asked.

"I want to go back." Lan Tian said concisely.

"Wei." Gao Shun took the order with fists in his arms and left.

Lan Tian finally called Li Yang and said, "Xiao Lizi, General Gao and I are going back to Xinye to garrison, and we will take away [-] farmers, but the farmland in Dengzhuang must not be abandoned.

Now the village has started spring plowing. If you really don’t have enough manpower, you can mobilize Zhuang Ding’s family. I can reduce the tax by [-]% this season. In addition, I will leave General Gaoyuan to assist you. "

"Young Master, don't worry, they are already veteran farmers. You should have walked out of the field long ago for a talent like you," Li Yang complimented.

"Food is the foundation of the people. You must pay close attention to it. I will come back to take a look when I have time. In addition, let each family in the village fry [-] catties of miscellaneous grain noodles, add some dried radishes and dried wombs, and I will come back later." To take away."

During the slack season in winter, Lan Tian thought of the volunteer army’s fried noodles again. He asked every family to grind dozens of catties of corn and broad bean flour in advance, and taught the farmers to fry them.

Although the taste is relatively poor, the shelf life is relatively long, and it can be swallowed with dried radish.

Now that Liu Bei is going to the Northern Expedition to Xudu, he can take him there to try to replenish the army rations.

Li Yang asked mysteriously: "Is there going to be a war? Do you want to distribute some weapons to us?"

"Dengjiazhuang and Xinye will not be affected for the time being, you can direct the spring plowing here at ease." Lan Tian said with a serious face.

"I can save it."

While Gao Shun was in the army and Li Yang was going to pretend to be a steamed bun, Lu Lingqi walked into the courtyard wearing a sassy military uniform.

Lan Tian's eyes brightened, and he praised: "Xiaojun is still so good-looking, so I'd better not wear the peasant woman's clothes from now on."

Lu Lingqi muttered, "You're going to live in a farm house, and I can't always dress like this. It's really inconvenient to work."

"Xiao Jun, you can rest and quit." Lan Tian shook his head and said.

"How can I do that? Husband, you do everything by yourself, how can I be that lazy woman?" Lu Lingqi raised her eyebrows and said.

Lan Tian smiled wryly and said: "After all, it's my husband's fault, this time we'll stay in Xinye for a while longer."

"It all depends on your husband's arrangement." Lu Lingqi replied in a low voice.

Gao Shun was gathering soldiers, and Li Yang was arranging for people to fry noodles. Dengjiazhuang suddenly became tense.

Old owner Deng came out with his grandson in his arms. Seeing that Lu Lingqi was wearing armor, he asked in surprise, "Mr. Ziyu, is this going to war?"

Lan Tian smiled and said: "It's nothing, my lord ordered me to go to Xinye to garrison for a while, the old owner don't have to worry."

Little Deng Fan looked at Lu Lingqi's heroic appearance, his two small eyes were full of envy, and he said slowly: "It's really beautiful."

Lan Tian smiled and said: "The little guy will grow up quickly, and he will become a general in the future."

"Okay." Little Deng Fan seemed to understand, and he didn't stutter at all.

Everyone returned to Xinye that afternoon, and Lan Tian went directly to the county government office to meet Liu Bei.

Seeing Lan Tian coming back so soon, Liu Bei said happily, "Ziyu came so fast."

"Soldiers are expensive and fast, but safety is not fast." Lan Tian nodded and said.

"Cao Cao sent troops to Hebei again, and Liu Jingsheng asked me to attack Xudu, hoping to help Yuan Benchu ​​win a game." Liu Bei sighed.

Lan Tianxin said that Yuan Shao had never won before, and he estimated that this time would be no exception, "How many troops will Liu Jingsheng allocate to brother-in-law?"

"The military power in Xiangyang is in the hands of Cai Mao, so Liu Jingsheng can only let Wen Zhongye from Nanyang go with me." Liu Bei explained.

"Oh? How many soldiers does Wen Zhongye have?" Lan Tian asked again.

"Bo Yiji said that there are more than 2 people, and if I add my Xinye soldiers, there will be [-] people." Liu Bei said.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "If there are really [-], it can put pressure on Cao Cao, but Wen Zhongye may not go all out."

"Ziyu is right. Wenpin can dispatch [-] soldiers, which is not bad." When the two were talking, Xu Shu walked in with a smile.

He has just finished his army formation at the school grounds, and the defense of Xinye has been handed over to Gao Shun, and the army is ready to leave early tomorrow morning.

"Yuan Zhi is here? You guys are talking like this, and Bei suddenly loses confidence in attacking Xu." Liu Bei said sadly.

Lan Tian comforted him, "If Cao Cao attacks Hebei, he will do his best. If he stays in Xudu, he will not have any great talents. Besides, with Yuan Zhi's help this time, I expect to win."

After hearing this, Liu Bei said happily: "Ziyu has always been a master of predicting things, so I don't have to worry about this battle."

Xu Shu had already heard a little about Lantian's past, so he took up Liu Bei's topic: "The military rations sent by Ziyu are very novel, and this expedition can save a lot of luggage."

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "Each person can carry new military rations for a few days. It's fine for short-term raids, but it's not suitable for a protracted war."

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Even so, you can make good use of it."

"What do you mean by new military rations?" Liu Bei asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"My lord, I went to the camp with me and I knew right away that Lan Ziyu sent several thousand catties of fried noodles. The fried noodles can be carried with me and eaten immediately. This plan is really fantastic." Xu Shu sighed.

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this, "Could it be the method of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition?"

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "I just made some improvements based on his ideas."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, "Ziyu always surprises me, and now I have more confidence in attacking Xu."

Xu Shu scratched his head and said nothing, thinking that what these two people said about Genghis Khan seems to be very famous. Could it be that I, Xu Yuanzhi, haven't read enough books?
