Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 75

Although there were some twists and turns, Zhuge Liang still went out of the mountain after visiting the thatched cottage three times.

Compared with Lantian who only has some historical experience, Zhuge Liang is knowledgeable and far-sighted. When Liu Bei chatted with him, he was in a state of being a fan for a long time.

Although I didn't understand it, I was shocked.

After returning to Xinye, Xu Shu took the initiative to give up the post of military adviser just like Lan Tian. After repeated persuasion by Liu Bei, he had to be appointed as the deputy military adviser and Zhuge Liang as the main military adviser.

After Zhuge Liang took over the military administration, he wantonly accepted refugees from Xinye and even nearby counties and towns, and took them in to farm and farm. The original passive strategy was directly transformed into an active strategy.

Zhuge Liang is very clear that the fight for the world is about hard power, and the competition is about the productivity of each family. No matter how brave the general, no matter how strong the soldier, no matter how clever the strategy is, it is still useless without sufficient supplies.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have spent more time together than Guan Zhang, and they often say to others: like a fish in water.

Due to the close relationship between the two, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very unhappy, so that they often found Lan Tian for a drink.

At the beginning of April, Zhang Fei came to Lan Tian's house with wine again, and just happened to meet him about to go out, so he asked to stay, "Where is Ziyu going? I bought a good wine, let's have a taste?"

"Let's drink later, where is my brother-in-law?" Lan Tian asked.

"Where else can I go? I went out with Shui early in the morning. I heard it was to Dengjiazhuang." Zhang Fei looked displeased.

Lan Tian said to himself: "I often live in Xinye for a long time these days, and I don't know how Xiao Lizi's spring plowing is going."

"I don't think there is a problem. Ziyu, you have been teaching farming for so long, and my old Zhang has almost learned it." Zhang Fei complimented.

Lan Tian looked at the wine jar in Zhang Fei's arms and said, "Send the wine to the opposite side. I said that I can invite Kong Ming out of the mountain and have a shabu-shabu banquet. My house is too small, so I'd better hold a banquet in the county government office. You call your sister-in-law, and let's have a good time."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and said, "That's great, I'll go prepare some drinks."

Gan Qian's daughter was a hundred days old, so she and Mi Zhen brought their respective daughters to the banquet. Xinye's main staff and generals gathered together, including Lu Lingqi, Xia Houjuan, Xu's mother and other family members who also set up cases.

There are two people sitting in front of each table, with copper tripods, wine utensils, raw meat, vegetables, cold dishes, dipping plates and other items on top, and a shabu-shabu banquet initiated by Lantian is lively.

Shabu-shabu was originally only popular among a few people in Xinye, but now everyone tastes it in the temple and thinks it tastes better than stewing, and it is delicious when paired with the dipping dish made by Lantian.

After several rounds of toasting, small groups slowly began to form in the hall. Generals such as Guan Zhangzhao mainly drank and ate meat, while Lan Tian, ​​Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu sat around to discuss the situation.

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord and I went to Dengjiazhuang today. Ziyu farmed the fields very well. The yield per mu of land should be much higher than that of ordinary farmers, right?"

Lan Tian nodded and said, "Agriculture is like running an army. There are ways to do it. If you take care of it carefully, you will definitely gain something."

"There is a great opportunity for the lord to help the Han family if you have Ziyu farming grain. Now we should recruit refugees widely. If there is food, there will be people, and there will be soldiers if there are people." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"If it weren't for Liu Jingsheng's interference, Xinye would have farmed a large area long ago. Ziyu is more cautious than you." Xu Shu shook his head.

Zhuge Liang: "Ziyu is worried that Liu Biao will be suspicious? This person has a good reputation for virtue. After the Jiang Xia incident, even if he is afraid of the lord, he should not make things difficult."

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "Although Liu Jingsheng won't be in trouble anymore, Xinye is a tiny place after all. After Yuan Shao's death, Hebei will return to Cao Cao sooner or later. Once the north is pacified, Jingzhou will be in danger. Xinye is the northern gate of Xiangyang, so isn't it the first to bear the brunt?"

"Liu Biao is old, and he probably won't live for a few years. We can only farm to support the people, and we can only hope that we will be more tenacious with the Yuan brothers, otherwise we will not be able to take Jingzhou with the Xinye people." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

Lan Tian: "We must find a way to win a place for the Lord to establish a business."

"Guanzhong to the north of Nanyang and Runan to the east are Cao Cao's territories. Even if we take advantage of Cao Cao's battle with the Yuan family to occupy Dezhou County with the people of Xinye, it is really difficult to hold it. This will make Sun Quan and Ma Teng Waiting for others to reap the benefits. Only Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Xichuan can make plans, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so it is difficult to plan." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"What do you think of Jing Nan?" Lan Tian asked suddenly.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu wondered that there is still Nanjun between the four Jingnan counties and Xinye.

"What does Ziyu mean?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.

"I thought Xinye was completely unqualified for stable development. If you want to go north to the Central Plains at this time, you can marry Sun Quan and others as Kong Ming said. If you continue to grow grain in Xinye, Cao's army will go south in the future. Bubbles. The four counties in Jingnan are blocked by the Yangtze River, so they are good places for development." Lan Tian said.

"Not to mention how wild Jingnan is, if we send troops to take it, how can Liu Biao turn a deaf ear to it?" Xu Shu worried.

Zhuge Liang looked at Lantian suspiciously, "Since Ziyu said this, could it be that there is some clever plan?"

"It's impossible to send troops to fetch it, but it's different when Liu Biao takes the initiative to dispatch it." Lan Tian said.

"Liu Biao has always been afraid of the lord, so how could he take the initiative to dispatch?" Xu Shu asked.

"This requires Kong Ming's efforts." Lan Tian said meaningfully.

Zhuge Liang was bewildered?My heart said how should I contribute?

Lan Tian continued: "Liu Biao is old and feeble. Jingzhou is now controlled by Cai, Kuai and others. The relationship between your uncle and Liu Biao and Cai Mao is very unusual. Pang Degong also called you Crouching Dragon. Kongming, you can start with them and think about it from behind. To find ways to."

How smart Zhuge Liang is, he immediately understood that Lan Tian asked him to engage in nepotism and his wife's diplomacy. Although he had used these relationships to improve his reputation, he had no intention of relying on it. seek."

Lan Tian smiled and said: "History is written by the victor. As long as the goal can be achieved, it is a good strategy regardless of whether it is high or low. There is a saying in my hometown that 'corrupt officials are evil, and honest officials are even more evil'."

After hearing this, Xu Shu also persuaded: "Ziyu is right, Kong Ming, please think about it."

"Time waits for no one, Cao Cao doesn't have much time left for us," Lan Tian reminded.

Zhuge Liang struggled for a long time before saying: "What an honest official is more treacherous than a corrupt one, Liang will try his best."

After the shabu-shabu banquet was over, Zhuge Liang went to Xiangyang under the escort of Zhao Yun. There was no need for Lan Tian to remind him about the following things. Mr. Wolong's resourcefulness was too high.

During two months, Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan had close contact with the Pang family, Huang family, and Cai family. There were gradually calls in Jingzhou to transfer Liu Bei away from Xinye, and Liu Biao was blown there by Mrs. Cai's pillow wind. .

Liu Biao called Kuai Yue, his adviser, and asked, "Liu Xuande recruited refugees in Xinye, and his momentum is growing day by day. How do you think we can stop it?"

Kuai Yue said: "After years of war in the north, refugees from Guanzhong and the Central Plains often fled to Jingzhou via Nanyang, and Xinye is at the heart of Nanyang. Only by transferring Liu Bei can we stop his growth."

"It's easier to ask the gods than to send them away, so where do you think you should be transferred?" Liu Biao asked with a blank eyebrow.

"Guiyang Changshi was killed by the barbarians a month ago, why not transfer Liu Bei to Guiyang to garrison?" Kuai Yue Shuoxu suggested.

Liu Biao, who was half lying down, sat up after hearing this, and looked at Kuai Yue, who once wanted to kill Liu Bei, why did this guy make such a suggestion?
