Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 112

Guan Yu held Lu Su's hand and laughed endlessly. Lu Su frowned and reproached, "Yun Chang didn't tell the truth, but now he's making fun of me? It's not what a gentleman did, so why laugh?"

"Zijing won't always talk about his in-law relationship, will he? Ziyu, he can't just say to everyone: My sister is General Liu's concubine. This is not what a gentleman does..." Guan Yu couldn't help shaking his head.

"At Chaisang, if we knew..." Lu Su hesitated to speak, but if we knew at that time, we wouldn't have talked like that.

Guan Yu immediately showed up and said: "At that time, everyone was their own master, so why did Zijing bring up old accounts? Guan also served in Cao Ying, why didn't my elder brother trust him? Let him pass the past."

"Ah, this..." Lu Suxin said, can this be the same?

Chapter 224 Acting Too Likely

In the golden autumn and September, the midsummer has passed.

The sun in the sky became extremely soft, and the breeze was blowing on the path leading to the long pavilion by the river, which made people feel so refreshed.

There were a few guide boys standing along the way, and there was no guard from a distance, and there seemed to be only one person in the long pavilion ahead, not even a maid serving.

Lu Su then asked his fellow guards to wait for him by the river. He believed that neither Guan Yu nor Lan Tian could harm him, so he still needed to be more generous.

When Lan Tian in the pavilion saw Guan Yu and Lu Su approaching, he hurried to greet them and salute.

"Mr. Zijing, are you all right?" Lan Tian greeted with cupped hands.

Lu Su pointed at him, and wanted to blame him, but suddenly remembered what Guan Yu said to persuade him before, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, Lan Ziyu, you are Liu Shijun's General Jingnan..."

Lan Tian smiled awkwardly, and led Lu Su into the pavilion to sit down.

There is a pot on the table in the pavilion, and the boiling soup inside is rolling like waves in the river, and you can smell the fragrance faintly. There are all kinds of fresh meat, vegetables and other raw and cold food around. The chrysanthemum brew sent by Lu Su a few days ago, and the coconut in the corner of the ground.

The three sat opposite each other, and Lu Su pointed to the pot and raw meat on the table and asked, "Could this be the shabu-shabu that General Guan talked about?"

"The best ingredients often only need simple cooking. The meat that Zi Jing eats on weekdays has been cooked for a long time, and the original delicious taste of the meat has been lost. In this way, the taste is tender and juicy, especially in winter, which complements each other." Guan Yu Pick up a piece of meat and boil it in a pot. Because the slice is quite thin, it quickly changes color and removes it.

The cooking method of shabu-shabu has been tried in the folks, but Lu Su knew it, so he frowned and said, "This kind of shabu-shabu cooking is indeed feasible, but it's not as delicious as General Guan said, right?"

There is a lack of condiments in this era, and spices are more expensive than gold. The usual way is to use meat such as fish and sheep to make soup fresh, and then add some side dishes to the pot. stew.

Guan Yu pushed a wooden lacquer bowl in front of Lu Su, and said mysteriously: "It's really not amazing to use shabu-shabu alone, but wrapping this dipping sauce with boiled meat will definitely open your eyes."

Lu Su was skeptical. He dipped it in the lacquer bowl and chewed it in his mouth. It really tasted very rich.

"Yun Changcheng is not lying to me. It is really delicious. Please tell me the recipe of this dipping sauce." Lu Su's eyes widened.

Guan Yu raised his wine glass and laughed, "Today at the Double Ninth Festival banquet in Jiangxia, Zijing serves the wine and I serve the meat, and the dipping sauce is made by Ziyu. Everyone is sincere, hahaha..."

Lu Su raised his wine glass and took a sip, then smiled and said to Lan Tian: "I almost forgot that Ziyu is good at cooking, I'm afraid this way of eating is also your creation, right? You can't keep the recipe of the dipping sauce secret."

"In fact, there is no fixed method for this dipping sauce. It is nothing more than common condiments such as soy sauce, minced garlic, green onion, salt, soy sauce, and caramel. You just need to mix and prepare it at will." Lan Tian replied, pointing to the lacquer bowl.

Lu Su looked at the dipping sauce in the bowl, and continued to ask: "How much is each condiment?"

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "There is no definite method, just choose according to your own taste..."

"It makes sense. I'll try it myself when I go back to Chaisang. Did the dipping sauce come from Lingling or from Jiangxia?" Lu Su asked again.

"It's not something rare, it's naturally from Jiangxia." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

Lu Su recalled that Lan Tian concealed his identity, and teased again: "Since the dipping material is from Jiangxia, Ziyu's sincerity can't be seen..."

Well, Lan Tian thought in his heart that this guy has finally started.

Lan Tian picked up two coconuts from the ground and put them on the table, and said with a smile, "I brought these from Lingling, and I will break them open later to quench your thirst."

Lu Su is well-informed and knows coconuts. He knows that only Lingnan produces this thing in the Han Dynasty. Could it be that this guy really meddled in Jiaozhou affairs?Xin said that I finally got a handle on it.

"I remember that this thing was produced in Lingnan, did Ziyu go to Jiaozhou?" Lu Su asked deliberately.

Although Guan Yu didn't change his face, he was shocked. He saw the coconut when he entered the pavilion just now, and he didn't understand Lan Tian's behavior.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Don't Zijing know about the existence of merchants? Lingling is adjacent to Yulin County in Jiaozhou, and merchants often travel between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. Products in Lingnan are not rare."

Lu Su felt that this person was more magnanimous because of Lan Tian's scolding, but he was worried and asked again: "Since there are caravans coming and going, Ziyu is very clear about the situation in Jiaozhou, right?"

Lan Tian nodded and said, "I heard that General Ziming suffered setbacks in Jiaozhou. Is Mr. Lai Fu so powerful?"

"Uh...I've been in Chaisang all the time, so I don't know much about Jiaozhou..." Lu Su looked ashamed, and he didn't have a suitable excuse, let alone Lantian was so calm.

Lan Tian said with a serious expression: "The South of the Five Ridges is remote and full of miasma. I heard that the people's customs are tough and aggressive. Maybe it's because of the climate. Zijing wants General Lu to be careful. The climate in the South of the Lingnan is terrible..."

Of course it's fatal, Bu Zhi has confessed.

Facing such an 'open' Lantian, Lu Su didn't know how to answer, but he nodded slightly, "I will pass on Ziyu's kindness to my lord, let's not talk about business for the Double Ninth Festival today, let's taste the chrysanthemum brew I brought. "

Since people in Jiangdong love to stab their backs, Lan Tian not only tested the poison in advance with a silver needle, but also brought his own wine to confuse others. Now the wine on the table is Lu Su drinking Jiangdong wine, and Lan Tian and Guan Yu drinking chrysanthemum wine produced in Jingzhou.

Although Lu Su's character was reliable, Lan Tian really didn't dare to gamble. If something happened between him and Guan Yu, it would be over.

"It's rare that Zijing is interested. Guan and Ziyu will have fun with you." Seeing that Lu Su changed the subject, Guan Yu raised his glass to agree.

"Very good." Lan Tian also raised his glass.

The three of them ate and drank, and soon each drank a jar, Guan Yu's face was redder than before, Lan Tian and Lu Su looked a little drunk.

Lu Su took Lan Tian's hand and muttered: "Sun and Liu are in-laws and allies, we should treat each other with sincerity. Ziyu is the envoy of the king's wife and brother. Why didn't you say it earlier? When we were in Chaisang, my lord and I were neglected. ..."

Lan Tian said drunkenly, "What? Tell me earlier? At that time, each was his master, and Xuande and I had little contact. I was afraid that the old master Liu Jingzhou would be suspicious, and who would Zijing think of me as?"

Lu Su was taken aback when he heard that, Lan Tian was so loyal to Liu Qi, could it be that we are being overwhelmed?

He did tamper with the wine, but it was not a poison, but a specially brewed wine that is easy to get drunk. Before coming here, he had specially taken the anti-alcoholic medicine, but Lan Tian and Guan Yu had already changed positions.

Guan Yu watched in amazement, and thought that Lan Ziyu's acting was too similar, and I couldn't do it if I left it to me.

Chapter 225 Linjiang Immortal

Lan Tian and Lu Su chatted for a while because of their drunkenness. Just now they had a great time eating shabu-shabu in the pavilion. Guan Yu asked the waiter to remove all the food cups and plates from the table, and ordered someone to bring hot soup to sober up for the two of them.

The alcohol content in that era was extremely low, and both of them were performing separately, so they became sober with hangover soup.

"Zi Jing's wine is quite strong..." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Lu Su had a ghost in his heart, and replied naively: "I'm not very good at drinking..."

"Let's try the coconuts from Lingnan." Lan Tian said and called the waiter to open it.

While the waiter was going to open the coconut, Lu Su asked Lan Tian meaningfully: "I heard that Ziyu's wife is the daughter of Marquis Wen, can you hold the world-famous trap camp?"

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard this, but replied grandly: "After Xiapi City was broken in the past, the trapped camp has returned to Cao Cao, but the lord general Gao Shun escorted his wife and escaped. Now he is my subordinate to help me manage the army."

"With General Gao here, how many trapped camps can't be trained? Last time, General Guan said that there were not enough defenders in Jingzhou, and he couldn't send troops to Xiangfan to contain Cao Cao for the time being. Why didn't Ziyu transfer the trapped camp and go north?" Lu Su suggested.

Lan Tian smiled wryly and said, "Only 800 people, what kind of attack is Xiangfan..."

The trapped camp is well-equipped heavy infantry. If there are too many people, Lu Bu can't afford to support them, so the number has been kept at 800. After Lu Bu was hanged and killed in Baimen Tower, the [-] trapped camp became a legend. At this moment, Lu Su was speechless Yes.

"Isn't Ziyu in charge of Jingnan? These four counties only have [-] soldiers?" Lu Su asked suspiciously.

Lantian pretended to be surprised: "Zijing, don't talk nonsense. I am just the prefect of Lingling. General Guan is the governor of Jingzhou. All military affairs are controlled by him. After Xuande entered Sichuan, the soldiers transferred from Jingnan, now only Responsible for the security of the counties, if these people are taken to attack Xiangfan, what if there is a rebellion by the Yue people?"

Whether it was Lantian's actual official position or the real situation of Liu Bei leading troops into Sichuan, Wu Zuo and Wu You only heard superficially in Jiangling, so Sun Quan's understanding was very vague, and Lu Su had to keep nodding his head.

"Are there still Yue people in Jingnan making trouble?" Lu Su asked with a wry smile.

"There are no mountains in the east of the river, and there is more chaos?" Lan Tian asked back.

Lu Su shook his head hastily, feeling sympathy with Lan Tian, ​​he said to himself: "Why are these alien races so hard to deal with..."

The Yue people in Jingnan are small in scale, and with the guidance of Lantian's policy, it is basically impossible to rebel if they can eat enough. Now even the Wuxi Man has surrendered. On the contrary, the Shanyue in Danyang County is really invincible. Absolutely.

Seeing Lu Su's gloomy expression, Lan Tian couldn't help asking, "Even if General Guan really sends troops to Xiangyang, will Jiangdong be able to take Hefei? I heard that General Lu brought a lot of troops..."

Cao Cao watched people order dishes. He knew that after Liu Bei led his troops into Sichuan, Jingzhou's current military strength was not strong enough for the Northern Expedition, but not many defenders were transferred from Xiangfan. On the contrary, when Xia Houyuan left Hefei, he only gave the remaining defenders to Zhang Liao. There were less than [-] people, but Cao Cao was sure that Sun Quan would not dare to attack easily.

Lu Su's face was a little ugly, he sighed, "If Ziming doesn't take troops to Jiaozhou, my lord will join forces with Jiangdong to seize Hefei. Now that the battle in Jiaozhou is stalemate, I'm afraid it won't be easy to attack the city..."

Lan Tian and Guan Yu glanced at each other, and it was as they said last night that even Lu Su was not optimistic about war, and it was even more impossible for Sun Quan to take risks.

"Since Sun Liu is an alliance, why not attack Lai Gong with Lingling's soldiers? After Ziming captured Jiaozhou, he could attack Hefei." Lu Su had a whim.

"Zijing, the alliance between Sun and Liu is to fight against Cao. What's the matter with you asking me to attack Jiaozhou? Xuande promised that Sun Cheqi would not interfere in Jiaozhou affairs. Then Lai Gong was originally Liu Jingsheng's general, so it's fine if I didn't lend a helping hand." ..." Lan Tian was speechless.

"I'm the one who was being rude..." Lu Su also felt that he was out of ideas. No one would do such a useless thing. At this time, his doubts about Lan Tian had been relieved by [-]%.

The sun was gradually setting in the sky, and the three of them chatted leisurely about anecdotes about the world. The waiter brought a few opened coconuts with a long-handled wooden spoon to eat the pulp.

Lan Tian took the lead in holding the coconuts and went to the pavilion to look north at the Yangtze River. Guan Yu and Lu Su followed suit and walked beside them.

Due to blocked roads and inconvenient storage, Jiaozhou’s products are rarely transported too far, especially seasonal vegetables and fruits. Because Lantian has special channels, Lingnan fruits and vegetables are consumed every year. Lantian will also be sent to Jiangxia and Jiangling for Liu Bei. , Guan Yu and others tasted it, so the waiters knew about coconuts with long-handled wooden spoons. On the contrary, Lu Su in Jiangdong did not have such a good taste.

Lu Su took a spoonful of coconut milk and sighed: "I still remember the last time we went to Chaisang together. When we drank fish soup on the boat, Ziyu wrote a good sentence of 'I drink the water of the Yangtze River and eat Wuchang fish'. A few years have passed in a flash, Gong Jin is no longer alive, and his "Song of the Long River" has not yet found a bosom friend..."

"Zhou Gongjin was a generation of Confucian generals. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents and unfortunately died young. Does Zijing have the score of "Long River Song"? My military adviser is quite good at rhythm..." Lan Tian asked.

Lu Su nodded, "I forgot to bring it this time. After returning to Chaisang, I will send someone to Jiangling. Now we are drinking coconut juice by the Yangtze River. Can you compose another impromptu poem?"

"Brother always said that Ziyu has a brilliant literary talent, and Guan wants to see it on this occasion, Ziyu, you can improvise a song." Guan Yu also booed and echoed.

Lan Tian suddenly fell into deep thought, and asked if I would tell you the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yunchang's single-handed attendance at the meeting?

Seeing Lan Tian staring at the Yangtze River in a daze, Guan Yu thought that he was already thinking about it, so he immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper and put it on the table.

Lan Tian looked at the rolling water of the Yangtze River and felt a little bit of the black and red sunset in the sky. Turning around, he found that the paper and pens were laid out evenly. Start your show.

Lan Tian thought that he should write something to shock the world, but he quickly searched Tang poetry and Song poetry in his mind and found that it didn't work.

The moment Lan Tian picked up the pen, his mind was empty, but soon the past of attacking Jiangling City and fighting in Jiaozhou emerged.

By the way, this is the Three Kingdoms, so we will give you something special.

From the beginning of writing, Lantian is like the continuous waves of the Yangtze River going east, without a single pause.

The inscription on the paper reads: The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass away in the east, and the waves wash away heroes.Right and wrong success or failure turned around empty.Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river, used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.How many things in ancient and modern times are all jokes.

After Lan Tian finished writing, he blushed and turned his back to the two of them and continued to look north toward the Yangtze River.

Lu Su sang emotionally next to him: "The Yangtze River rolls away in the east, and the waves wash away the heroes... Ziyu's poem is desolate and majestic. I wonder if it is famous?"

"What Zijing said is very true. This poem is really good because it has scenes and feelings. It should have a good name. I will write it for you." Guan Yu picked up the brush after finishing speaking.

Lan Tian said leisurely: "Linjiang Immortal..."

Guan Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, and when he was writing, he glanced at Lan Tian again, only to see that his shadow was reflected on the Yangtze River by the setting sun, and the shadow elongated by the river water looked extremely majestic.

Chapter 226 The Han Dynasty People Don't Lie to the Han Dynasty People

The sun is setting, and the sky is dying.

The three of them gathered for an afternoon by the Yangtze River with their own goals. Lu Su wanted to leave at this point, but he always felt that something was missing.

It was inconvenient to sail at night, so Guan Yu invited Lu Su to rest at the post in the city.

Lu Su shook his head and said, "I still have a lot of military affairs in Chaisang, so it's better to go back overnight."

"Zijing is now a great governor. It's different now. Ziyu and I will see you off." Guan Yu saw the Jiangdong general not far away, hoping that he would stop persuading him.

At dusk, the breeze was blowing, and on the way back to the pier, Lan Tian also felt that something was about to happen. Suddenly he found a hard lump in his arms, and then he remembered Zhou Shan's token.

Lan Tian took out the token and handed it to Lu Su, asking, "Does Zijing know this thing?"

Lu Su took the token with a puzzled expression, with a sense of familiarity. When he turned over the back and suddenly opened his eyes, it was a special pattern.

The first general stood on the stone, bent his bow and raised his arrow, aiming at a mighty tiger below. This is Sun Quan's special tiger shooting order, which is often issued to close people to do things for him. Holding the shooting tiger is Sun Quan's token.

"This token looks like something from my Jiangdong, how could it appear in Ziyu's hand?" Lu Su asked suspiciously, but did not reveal the history out of caution.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "When Xuande entered Sichuan, he placed his son in Quanling. A few months ago, there was a guard named Zhou Shan who claimed to be ordered by Mrs. Sun to take away his son A Dou by force, but he tried to kidnap me again. Son, this is the token found on his corpse..."

There was a huge wave in Lu Su's heart, the relationship between Zhou Shan and Sun Quan was very clear to him, this guy ran to Quanling to take people away with a tiger shooting order?Who gave him the guts?Isn't this destroying the Sun Liu alliance?

"There is such a thing? Mrs. Sun is too bold, did Ziyu go to Jiangling to seek evidence?" Guan Yu frowned.

"Mrs. Sun is the mistress of Jingzhou after all. As a subordinate, how can I come forward and question her? It's unreasonable..." Lan Tian shook his head.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was taking the blame, Lu Su couldn't help explaining: "Zhou Shan is indeed from Jiangdong, but he is not Miss Sun's bodyguard, and this tiger shooting order is not Miss Sun's property..."

"So someone in Jiangdong has evil intentions?" Lan Tian frowned.

"The alliance between Sun and Liu is absolutely impossible. The Tiger Shooting Token belongs to my lord. Although this token looks lifelike, it looks a little fake if you look closely. Maybe it's a plan to alienate people sent by Cao Cao? Mr. Ziyu saw this with his own eyes? "Lu Su was anxious and wise, first dumped the blame on Cao Cao, and then analyzed from Lan Tian's words that he was not there at the time, and it would be nothing without on-site certification.

Lan Tian nodded, "Divorce is possible. I was fighting drought and disaster relief in various places. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the family present and my son are now in Jiangxia."

You want witnesses, right?I have it here too.
