Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 707

Lan Tian sat at the table without distraction, carefully sketching the sketch of Huben Martial Hall. He felt that someone beside him didn't look back, but kept his posture and asked casually: "Who is here?"

"Father, dinner is ready. Mother asked me to ask you to go out for dinner." Lan Yuan whispered behind Lan Tian.

"Got it, I'll pack it up, you go first."

"only."

After Lan Tian finished speaking, he pressed the paperweight on it, and then blew out the candles to prevent the burning paper from falling down. When he turned around, he found that Lan Yuan was standing by the door without moving. He walked over curiously: "Didn't I tell you to go first? There are other things ?”

"President Song just sent someone here, saying that there is a lot of information in the past two months, and some of the information needs to be determined by my father. I wonder when you will be free?" Lan Yuan Daoming came.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and frowned, thinking that Jiaozhou is very stable now, and it should be an external problem, so he responded with a smile: "Cancel tomorrow morning's arrangement for me, and I will leave time for the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce for my father."

"only."

Lan Yuan got the exact news, turned around and walked outside, and his footwork was very quick, Lan Tian quickly stopped him: "Where are you going? Let's talk about it after the reunion dinner."

"The people from the chamber of commerce are in the vestibule, and my son will come back as soon as he informs me." Lan Yuan replied with his fists clasped.

Lan Tian nodded slightly, thinking that he would have to catch up with the pictures at night, or else he would see Song Chen overnight, but he would have forgotten to eat and sleep like that. He didn't have to be so impatient when he thought about the so-called sharpening a knife and chopping firewood. It's a matter of urgency.

Although Liu Wan married into the Lan family as a bride, Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi didn't treat her as an outsider at all. She and Lan Yuan made a marriage contract since they were young, and it was a matter of course at this time.

The reunion dinner at home was actually prepared for Liu Wan.

On the square Eight Immortals table, parents and children sit according to their directions, Lan Tian sits facing south and faces Lan Yuan, and Lu Lingqi and Liu Wan sit east and west.

After Lantian 'invented' the Eight Immortals table, all the family members sat around together, which made it look more warm and lively, without the seriousness of the court.

After everyone was seated, Lan Tian, ​​as the head of the family, took the lead in speaking before the meal. In addition to welcoming Liu Wan, he focused on telling his son a few words about his wife's experience. Lan Yuan nodded frequently while listening.

Liu Wan kept blushing and lowered her head. Lan Tian's words were all demanding of Lan Yuan, and she didn't tell herself a word of rules. She thought it might be Lu Lingqi who set the rules.

After Lan Tian finished explaining to Lan Yuan, he handed over the right to speak to Lu Lingqi on his right.

Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Wan with a full smile, and said kindly: "Wan'er lived in our house when she was young. Although Boyang's father is in a high position now, he also came from a poor farmer, so there are no many rules of a wealthy family. It’s enough to be filial to the elders, considerate to your husband, and love your children, and learn from me slowly in the future.”

"Wan'er knows," Liu Wan responded in a low voice with flushed cheeks.

Lu Lingqi then took out a small square wooden box, the decorative velvet outside was a bit old.

When the wooden box was opened, there was a jade bracelet lying inside. Judging from the color and texture, it was not a high-grade item, and even looked a little ordinary.

"Wan'er, this jade bracelet may not be exquisite, but it means a lot to me. It is a token given to me by your father when we never met. The original owner is Wan'er's biological mother. Now I give it to you." Lu Lingqi said Pushing the wooden box to the opposite side, Lantian's eyes were a little moist when he saw things and thought about them.

"This turned out to be my mother's thing." Liu Wan looked very excited, holding the jade bracelet in her hand, trembling with a pun.

Lan Tian saw that the atmosphere was getting heavy, so he said in a deep voice: "Sister walked away very peacefully, Wan'er put it away quickly, our life will continue, and it will start with this reunion dinner."

"Father is right, put it away quickly." Lan Yuan reminded in a low voice.

Everyone put away their sadness, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued their lives.

After the family simply had dinner, Lan Tian continued to return to the room to draw sketches, and he planned to drive out before going to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian hurried to the war room after breakfast. It was located in the corner of the courtyard in front of him. There were maps hanging all over the room, and there was a huge sand table in the middle that blocked the light.

As soon as Lan Tian walked out of the garden, he saw Gao Yuan standing by the road. He should have been waiting there early in the morning. His return from Chengdu did not affect his work and rest time at all.

"Go and wait outside the gate of the mansion. If Chairman Song arrives, take him directly to the war room." Lan Tian ordered in a low voice.

Gao Yuan clasped his fists and replied, "Mr. Zi, Song Chen has arrived and is waiting for you in the war room."

"This boy" Lan Tian was slightly surprised. Song Chen had been away from the army for many years, and he was still so strict in terms of discipline. Once an appointment was made, he never asked Lan Tian to wait.

Gao Yuan opened the door of the war room, lit a few lights, and retreated to the door to guard. He knew that what Song Chen wanted to report was definitely secret and important news.

"Sir." Song Chen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Boyang said that you are a little anxious, it seems that you have received important news?" Lan Tian asked with one hand on the edge of the sand table.

Song Chen nodded and replied, "Wei State and Jiangdong both have major issues, so the general will start with Wei State first?"

"Speak." Lan Tian nodded.

"The news that Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor was true. He gave up Yecheng and set his capital in Luoyang. He promoted Cao Ren to the rank of General and Grand Sima to guard Huainan. Wei's troops were mobilized a while ago, and more than [-] troops were deployed around Luoyang. It seems that It is to prevent General Guan from going north, or he intends to go south to Jingzhou," Song Chen replied.

Lan Tianyuan acquired Xiangfan with Guan Yu, and Cao Pi would avoid the sharp edge and set his capital in Yecheng. Unexpectedly, he was so brave, and he did not hesitate to defend the capital with heavy troops. He did not want to move the capital outside Henan.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and sneered: "Today is different. Cao Pi's 20 soldiers can defend it. It's not bad. It's crazy to think of going south to Jingzhou, but Cao Pi dares to be the "son of heaven" to guard the gate. I still appreciate this courage. Is this the case of Wei Guo? ?”

Song Chen shook his head straight, "Last year Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and the Qingzhou Army formed by the Yellow Turbans fled with drums. This kind of undisciplined behavior was hunted down and questioned by Cao soldiers. More than a thousand of them fled south to Jingzhou. The general worried that these people were spies who came to make money in the city, so he sent them to Wuling and handed them over to the prefect Hu Xiu, but these people disappeared soon."

Lan Tian kept an eye on Hu Xiu's surrender, and sent people from the state chamber of commerce to observe in Wuling. That's why Song Chen had such comprehensive news.

"Wuling County is adjacent to the Yangtze River. I think these people are afraid." Lan Tian looked at Wuling on the sand table for a second, and flashed to Chengdu in the west the next second.

"Mister's guess is correct. These people are not willing to use hoes to cultivate the land. They would rather sell their strength in the public security wharf. Later, for some reason, they became less and less. Many workers in the wharf rumored that Qingzhou soldiers were captured by the Yangtze River water ghosts. "Song Chen continued.

Lan Tian raised his head and laughed loudly: "Rumors of Yangtze River water ghosts? Those souls who were burned to death in Chibi? They have traveled quite far, not only from Wulin to Gong'an, but also up the Shuojiang River to Chengdu."

Song Chen's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and he thought to himself, what the hell is Mr. talking about?He seemed to know something.
