Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 684

Lan Yuan and Gao Yuan were originally in a defensive posture, but when they heard Zhang Fei's devilish voice, they all retracted their weapons.

Lan Tian patted his horse forward and met Zhang Fei first.

The black horse the other party was riding was dark and shiny under the sunlight, and it complemented the person on the horse.

"Yide, it's really you." Lan Tian was very excited when he saw Zhang Fei. In history, Zhang Fei was killed because he treated his subordinates harshly. Apart from Guan Yu's death that made him angry, his violent temper and flogging soldiers were all the reasons why he was killed. The factor of subordinate killing.

Zhang Fei's brothers are still alive now, and the little spinning top used to vent his anger has gradually changed his rough temper. It may be that his mentality has changed a lot. Zhang Fei, who is in his 50s, looks naive, with white hair on his temples. Also relatively sparse. ,

"My old Zhang still has a fake one? Brother and the others are waiting at the gate of the city. I can't wait so I'll go ahead." Zhang Fei was full of joy.

At this time, Lan Yuan followed up, clasped his fists and greeted Zhang Feifei: "Uncle."

"Boyang is really a good-looking talent, why didn't you let your father make you a suit? Have you seen Lan Zhongling's silver armor? I will praise it if I see it." Zhang Fei joked.

Lan Yuan reacted very quickly, clasped his fists and responded with a smile: "Father said that I am still taller, and I will make armor for me after the crown ceremony. The second brother's cloak was given to him by General Guan."

"My second brother is really good to your second brother." Zhang Fei nodded affirmatively, and then complained to Lan Tian for him: "Ziyu, you are now a shepherd of Yizhou, and there are ten times more traders in Guangzhou than in Chengdu, and you have collected a lot. Taxes? Why do you need to be so economical on your own people? Just make a set after Boyang grows up."

Lan Tian sighed: "All counties and counties in Jiaozhou need to develop, and I have to stockpile military supplies and food every year. Naturally, I have to live on a budget, and save flashy things as much as I can."

"It's boring. I ask Kong Ming for something, but he always makes me cry. The kelp that Ziyu promised will break his promise, right?" Zhang Fei muttered.

"Haha, it's not easy to be in charge of the money. The kelp in Jieyang will be harvested soon. When I return from Chengdu this time, I will arrange for someone to send it to Wudu for you." Lan Tian promised, slapping his chest.

"Can that thing be raised by humans? Ziyu, you are amazing. Jieyang seems to be some distance away from Guangzhou. Who do you ask to be in charge of kelp farming over there? This thing is used as military rations, and you can bring less salt. Don't let the city of Guangzhou Merchants bought it, and then resold it to the Central Plains or Jiangdong." Zhang Fei reminded.

Lan Yuan suddenly interrupted: "Father arranged for the Wuxi barbarians to specialize in raising kelp, even if those shops in Guangzhou City offered a high price, General Sha would not let them buy it.

"Shamoke? Ziyu should lend him to me. Dress up a little bit to look like me. Not only can it be used to confuse Jiangdong people, but it should also be useful for using troops in Yongliang area." Zhang Fei had a whim.

"Siwuxi barbarians are used to fighting in the mountains in the south. I'm afraid Liangzhou will not like the drought and lack of rain. In addition, General Sha's people are mostly in Jingnan and Jiaozhou. Yide, don't force others to make things difficult for you. Let you go to Jicheng to take that ginger Is there any progress in the past six months?" Lan Tian politely refused.

"You mean Jiang Wei? Send someone to inquire about such a person, but Wudu is short of troops and food. The military adviser said that the loss of transporting from Chengdu is too great. I'd better wait for Deng Shizai to farm in Hanzhong, so the loss of food will be much smaller. , but Hanzhong still has the troops of Wen Chang (Wei Yan) and Meng Qi (Ma Chao) to support, and the military rations allocated to Wudu are only enough for the garrison, and it is not suitable for long-term harassment." Zhang Fei frowned and expressed helplessness.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses go ahead before the food and grass are mobilized. I am very aware of Yide's difficulties. When we arrive in Chengdu, I will discuss it with the military adviser. Let's move forward now. Don't make the king wait too long."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Zhang Fei turned his horse's head and rode side by side with Lan Tian on horseback.

Lan Tian turned to signal Lan Yuan: "Boyang, you escort the carriage to follow."

"Wei." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and galloped away.

Half an hour later, Lan Tian and Zhang Fei met Liu Bei outside the south city of Chengdu. Familiar faces such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, and Zhao Yun appeared in front of Lan Tian again.

The people in Chengdu like to be lively, and the King of Hanzhong personally went out of the city to welcome the guests, and they spontaneously gathered on the street to watch.

Chen Dao's Bai Mu soldiers led the way, Lan Tian, ​​Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei walked in the first row, and Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Wu Yi and others followed closely behind.

Although Lantian was famous all over the world during the Xiangfan War, Yizhou did not publicize it due to various reasons, so the people in Chengdu still know little about Lantian. Watching Liu Bei and Lantian talking and laughing from a distance, the two are intimate as if They were like brothers, and Zhang Fei was also in the same row as the two of them, so they all speculated whether this person was Guan Yu who guarded Jingzhou?But the short beard under Lan Tian's chin doesn't match.

Along the central axis of Chengdu, people, horses and vehicles headed straight for the Hanzhong Palace in the inner city. Because Liu Bei and Lantian had something to discuss, Chen Dao was asked to escort Lantian's family members to the newly vacated courtyard next to the palace.

Lan Tian followed the crowd to dismount in front of the palace, Liu Bei waved to the crowd and said, "Ziyu is quite tired from the long journey, so his welcome banquet will be held in the evening, Qing, please go to your own business first."

"Wei." Everyone answered in unison, bowed to Lan Tian one after another, and then left 'reluctantly'.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and the sun climbed above the mid-heaven, warming the sky over Chengdu. Liu Bei left behind Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Lan Tian, ​​and followed them to the small garden pavilion of the palace to sit down.

All kinds of flowers in the garden are competing for splendor, butterflies and bees are busy among the flowers, spring is just like the blue field, just right.

The waiter brought boiled wine, dried fruit, etc. and placed them on the stone table. Zhang Fei picked up a broad bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing until his teeth chattered. Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian looked at each other and smiled.

"Why are you all looking at me? If you want to eat, you can take it yourself. Broad beans are delicious with boiled wine. You don't need to be polite when you know each other so well." Zhang Fei looked at the two of them puzzled.

Liu Bei looked at the things on the table and couldn't help sighing: "I still remember that more than 20 years ago, Bei used to cook wine with Cao Cao in Xudu and discuss heroes. At that time, he used Ziyu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as a comparison, but he didn't want He died of illness in Luoyang last year, how lonely a hero is at the end of his life, and he is fortunate enough to be at the same table with you, what a blessing from heaven."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Cao Cao's traitor is already old, and it is his blessing that he can die without an accident. If it falls into my old Zhang's hands, hehe." Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed.

"Although Cao Cao is true and hateful, he regarded himself as a Hanchen until his death. Then Cao Pi only took the throne for a few months, but he forced the emperor to arrogate himself as emperor. I think he is more extreme than Yuan Gonglu. Ziyu should know this news, right?" Liu Bei ask.

"The minister has indeed learned that Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, but the emperor was forced to die." Lan Tian hesitated to speak.
