Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 155

"It's not so exaggerated, is it? Chengdu shouldn't be bad." Lan Tian was very puzzled.

Gan Ning smiled dumbly: "General Li once asked him if he missed Chengdu, and Liu Jiyu only answered six words: I am happy here, but I don't miss Sichuan."

Lan Tian said in his heart, good guy, you have rectified A Dou's words.

After Liu Zhang moved to Quanling, Lantian allocated the mansion next to the lecture hall to Liu Zhang to live in, and sent Li Yi as a guide to guide him to adapt to the environment. Attracted, and the monthly Yangtze River News will be delivered to your door as soon as possible.

The common people always had satisfied smiles on their faces. After Liu Zhang saw it in and out of the city, he sighed to himself.

Liu Bei treated Liu Zhang well, so he decided to spend the rest of his life here, and it was good to just lie down and enjoy it.

While the two were chatting, Gao Yuan, who was staying behind at the prefect's mansion, ran towards this side.

With a bang, Lan Ji received the pass from A Dou and kicked it forward with all his strength. The ball flew high and hit the face of Gao Yuan who was running towards him impartially.

Lan Ji opened his eyes wide, then shrank his head slightly, and ran to ask for the ball cautiously, but Gao Gao ignored it at all and threw the football aside with one hand.

"Guard Gao seems to be angry." A Dou ran to Lan Ji and whispered.

Seeing Gao Yuan running directly towards Lantian, Lan Ji grinned his teeth and said, "He should have something urgent to find his father, let's just ignore it and continue playing..."

"Oh, okay." A Dou glanced at Gao Yuan and replied in a low voice.

Gao Yuan wiped the mud from his face, clasped his fists and said: "Sir, there is a sudden gathering of soldiers and horses at Weipu Pass, and the total strength has exceeded [-]. Prefect Hao of Guiyang sent someone to report urgently. If the opponent continues to increase its strength, it may be necessary Let's send troops to help..."

Lan Tian heard question marks all over his face, Suipu Pass was connected to Nanhai County of Jiaozhou, and he thought to himself, what do these wastes in Jiangdong want to do?

"How dare Wei Jing attack Guiyang blatantly? Could it be that he wants to return to the people who fled in the past?" Lan Tian said to himself.

"The people who fled to Guiyang are our people from Jingzhou. How can someone snatch them back? I haven't moved my hands and feet for a long time. Why don't you let me go?" Gan Ning asked.

Lan Tian nodded: "It's good for Xingba to go there, but last year, in order to recruit troops for the military division, there were only a thousand soldiers left in Quanling's navy. Are these enough soldiers?"

Gan Ning said with a smile: "Jiangdong soldiers are trash, I treat them like worthless."

"Then set off as soon as possible, and report immediately if there is any abnormality." Lan Tian looked serious.

"Wei." Gan Ning left hurriedly with fists in his hands.

Since Jiangdong took the initiative to provoke, can Jiaozhou do it in advance?

Lan Tian thought of this, and immediately told Gao Shun: "Boping, General Sha is still in Quanling, right? Let him meet me at the prefect's mansion later."

"Wei." Gao Shun also took over the task.

Lan Tian played with the children until noon and returned. When he entered the main hall of the prefect's mansion, Gao Shun and Sha Moke were already waiting there.

"General, is there a war to be fought? Now the clansmen have enough to eat, and the barbarian warriors don't have to hunt..."

Sha Moke had just spoken halfway, but found that Lan Tian was attracted by the hurried footsteps outside the hall, turned around and saw Gan Ning and Hu Ke rushing in side by side.

"Xingba, didn't you go to Guiyang?" Lan Tian frowned.

Gan Ning quickly clasped his fists together: "Sir, something is not right. Sun Quan's [-] troops marched towards Dongting. The vanguard Ling Tong bypassed the patrol of Su Dudu. I am afraid that he is attacking Changsha. Liao Taishou's comment on the Yangtze River is okay. In terms of combat..."

Lan Tian's complexion changed and he stood up. Could this plot be the demarcation of the Xiangshui River?But the time is not right, and the actions of the Jiaozhou garrison are very synchronized. Could it be that Sun Shiwan made some big moves?

"Sir, the visitor is not kind..." Gao Shun reminded.

"Don't panic when things happen. You must learn to be calm. I know Gongyuan's (Liao Li) temperament very well, so I have left behind in Changsha. Now you follow me to the war room." Lan Tian's words were sonorous and stern.

Chapter 319

Quanling Prefect's Mansion, War Room.

The huge sand table is horizontal in the room, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are scaled on the wooden platform, and the mountains, rivers and cities can be seen at a glance.

The war room is Gao Shun's favorite place. When he is free, he will bring Lan Yuan and Lan Ji to teach them how to survey the terrain, where is suitable for defense, and where to camp.

Although the two little ones didn't understand much, they kept Lan Tian's instructions in mind and listened to Gao Shun's teachings very patiently.

Whenever this happened, Adou would play spinning tops outside the house, and he was not interested in such things as fighting.

Lan Tian likes to look at problems from big to small, first observe the overall situation and then slowly focus on the local area.

He picked up several wooden chess pieces similar to chess and placed them near the Yangtze River and Dongting according to the number and size. The red color represented the Jiangdong Army, and the green color represented Liu Bei’s Army. It is at Suipu Pass in the south of Guiyang.

Looking at Jiangdong's soldiers and horses in full bloom on the sand table, Lan Tianxin said that Sun Quan should have been planning for a long time this time.

Lan Tian withdrew his gaze from the sand table, and said solemnly to Hu Ke, "Now let me tell you about the situation in Changsha in detail."

Hu Ke clasped his fists and replied: "I returned to Quanling from Jiangling five days ago. When the merchant ship came to Dongting, I met Su Dudu's navy. Only then did I know that more than a thousand warships in Jiangdong had just been driven back by the storm. Su Dudu deduced from the size and quantity of the ships. The opponent's strength should be about [-], he has already reported to General Guan, and sent people to Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling to warn."

"Warning? We haven't received it in the past two days." Gao Shun frowned.

Hu Ke continued to explain: "I bid farewell to Su Dudu and went south to the Xiangshui River. When I walked to the confluence of the Xiangshui River and the Weishui River, I suddenly found nearly a hundred Jiangdong warships with Ling characters on them..."

"It must be that guy Ling Tong, the people sent by Governor Su may have been murdered." Gan Ning added.

Hu Ke nodded, "I thought the same as General Gan. At that time, I took advantage of the twilight to turn the rudder and escape to Dongting. Because of the lightness of the ship, Ling Tong's warship did not catch up. Later, I diverted to the branch and flowed into Zishui to escape completely. "

"Zishui couldn't reach Quanling at all, how did he come back in such a short time?" Gao Shun asked curiously.

Hu Ke swallowed his saliva, "I know the situation is urgent, so I dare not rest day and night. I passed Zhaoyang by land in Zhaoling. General, the horses and fishing boats are gifts from the common people, otherwise it would not be so fast."

Zhaoling belongs to Changsha County, and Chaoyang belongs to Lingling County. The two counties border each other. Lantian's prestige in this area is astonishingly high. I heard that Hu Ke is going to Quanling to report the emergency military situation. Officials and people on the road actively Cooperate, Hu Ke will not take a penny no matter what he eats or needs.

"Thank you." Lan Tian encouraged.

"It's what I should do." Hu Ke hammered his chest and said.

Lan Tian said to himself: "Fortunately, General Guan transferred Su Dudu to the police, otherwise Jiangdong's navy would drive straight in. I'm afraid they are already threatening Jiangling. Jiangxia may have been lost now, and Fu Shiren still betrayed his brother-in-law..."

"Su Dudu is still reliable. When General Guan transfers the main force of the Han River to Dongting, and then sits on the geographical advantage of Dongting Lake, even though Sun Quan has [-] sailors, he may not dare to attack." Gan Ning analyzed.

"According to Lieutenant Hu's description, Ling Tong's troops should only have 5000 people. As long as there is no other reinforcements to cooperate, it will be difficult to take down Linxiang, which has [-] defenders." Gao Shun said happily.

Gan Ning asked curiously: "What is the successor you mentioned just now? Liao Gongyuan took over Changsha in the hands of Mr. Pan, who died of illness. The two of them are very different in military affairs, but it is impossible for Ling Tong's 5000 people to take Changsha." .”

Liu Pan turned out to be Liu Biao's mighty general. At that time, Sun Ce's west was miserable. Later, Tai Shici was transferred to Jianchang to stop him. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after Chibi. In order to balance the interests of Jingxiang gentry, Liu Bei sent Liao Li pushed to the position of Changsha prefect.

Lan Tian was about to explain his backhand when the word Liu Pan suddenly stimulated his nerves, and his eyes moved to You County on the sand table, where Liu Pan was stationed at the beginning.

If it wasn't for Gan Ning's intention, Lan Tian almost underestimated his opponent, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

There are not only warships and water troops in Jiangdong, but [-] infantry cavalry stationed in Jianchang and Haihun for a long time. After Liu Pan's threat is lifted, he mainly assists in suppressing Shanyue in Danyang County.

If this army enters Jingnan from You County, it can take Changsha with Lingtong to the north, and threaten Guiyang or even Lingling to the south, and Hao Pu only deployed a thousand guards in that area.

Sun Quan's three-line linkage from north to south this time has a total force of more than 8 to [-]. If he did not deal with it properly and lost Jingnan, it would be equivalent to marrying Jiangdong.

Lan Tian said to Gao Yuan in a deep voice: "Go and invite General Xu and General Li, there is an urgent combat mission immediately."

"Jiangdong rats are not enough to fear, how many of us are not enough?" Gan Ning looked surprised, besides him and Gao Shun, there was Barbarian King Shamoke in the war room.

Lan Tian shook his head, took out a handful of tokens from the table, and handed one of the tokens to Gan Ning.

"Because the generals are most afraid of underestimating the enemy, Ru quickly rushed to help Changsha by water. Now Quanling only has more than a thousand sailors. You can take some transport troops to make up the numbers. Remember not to fight head-on with Ling Tong in the water. Keeping Linxiang will be considered a great achievement for you." pieces."

Gan Ning took the token and asked: "Although the transportation soldiers don't need to fight, it's not easy to train them. They still stay in Quanling to transport supplies. The general will defeat Ling Tong with these thousand people, otherwise they can't be regarded as heroes."

"Then please." Lan Tian clasped his fists and saluted.

"I will not disgrace my life." Gan Ning turned around and left with cupped fists.

It was the first time for Lantian and Gan Ning to be so solemn. Now the most threatening Jingnan belongs to the middle road. The infantry and cavalry from Jiangdong can enter from You County. There is no pass to defend along the way.

The rivers in Jingnan are criss-crossed and extend in all directions. Merchants trade in peacetime, and they can transport troops and food in wartime. This is the most fundamental reason why Lantian attaches great importance to waterways.

The so-called soldiers are expensive and fast, and Gao Shun's army rushing to the battlefield, these transport ships can save time.

"Boping, you also rush to the pier immediately with the whole army. Quanling's transport ship can't finish at one time, and the rest will go to Yinshan County on foot." Lan Tian handed another token to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun solemnly took the token, "Sir, do you want to mobilize all the people?"

"Leave [-] for General Xu to support Weipu Pass." Lan Tian explained.

"Wei." Gao Shun cupped his fists.

Gao Shun and Gan Ning left the war room one after another. Sha Moke looked at the token in Lan Tian's hand eagerly, but the other party seemed to have forgotten his existence, turned his face and locked his eyes on the sand table for research.

Xu Shuang and Li Yi arrived one after another, and Lan Tian handed them two tokens respectively.

Hao Pu has [-] defenders at Suipu Pass. As long as they don't voluntarily surrender and offer up the pass, it will be difficult for the Jiangdong soldiers assembled in the South China Sea to break through the pass in a short time. Because there is no direct waterway to reach it, Xu Shuang can only choose the nearest marching route. Detour around Jiuyi Mountain from the south and enter Guiyang County.

3 Chapter Twenty Samoko: This is Good

Li Yi accompanied Liu Zhang to Quanling, and Liu Bei asked him to listen to him under the Lantian tent.

Lantian asked Li Yi to rush to Shi'an County and set up defenses in the upper reaches of the Lishui River, where Cangwu bordered Lingling.

Although Lantian knew that Lu Fan would not dare to invade by Lishui, because Cangwu was still facing the shock of Lai Gong from the west, Lantian did not give Jiangdong a chance.

Li Yi was the only one among the few who did not bring any troops to the post, because the garrison in Quanling had been dispatched by Lantian, and the army he could command was only a few hundred county soldiers from Shi'an, and there was not even a single warship he could call. Can wait for the transport team to complete the task to recharge.

Sha Moke was dumbfounded. Quanling's garrison was almost evacuated. Why was he still unwilling to use his own barbarians?Although half of them are stationed in Yulin County, the remaining several thousand people are idle in Chenyang.

"General, we Wuxi are very experienced in fighting the Jiangdong rats, why don't we have a share?" Samoke asked, looking at the token in Lantian's hand.

Lan Tian took out a token, handed it over with a smile, and said, "Immediately return to Chenyang to summon the old troops to go south to Yulin, and join forces with Lai Shishi to attack Cangwu. Now that side can be regarded as Jiangdong's soldiers."

"That's good." Shamoke happily took the token. At the beginning, he played a defensive battle in Moon Fort, but now he can finally take the initiative to attack.

"Go, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth to Chenyang." Lan Tian waved his hand.

"only."

Sha Moke clasped his fists and walked out, leaving only Gao Yuan and Hu Ke in the combat room.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the direction of the battle is often out of control. In addition, there is no communication equipment in this era, so Lan Tian is ready to go with Gao Shun, because the key to this war lies in the fallen army.

Lan Tian was about to say goodbye to Lu Lingqi, Gao Yuan scratched his head suddenly and said, "Sir, I have nothing to do in Quanling, can I go with you?"

"Yes, yes, the war has blocked the river, and merchant ships can't go away for the time being. I also want to..." Hu Ke also booed.

"Boping and I will go together. General Gao will stay to guard Quanling. As for you..." Lan Tian frowned and looked at Hu Ke, wondering if he could give this clever guy a job.

Hu Ke was taken aback by Lan Tian, ​​and thought that Commander Gao didn't get anything to do, and he probably had no chance, so he couldn't help lowering his head.

Lan Tian suddenly had an idea, and said mysteriously to Hu Ke: "There is really a suitable mission. You should rush to Bushan County immediately, and let Inspector Lai and General Liang get ready. Take back Cangwu in name."

"Is it just a message?" Hu Ke was a little disappointed.

Lan Tian shook his head: "The two brothers Wu Siding and Wu Sihei should be in Bushan, and they will go to Jiaozhi with them all night and night, lobbying Shi Xie to send troops to attack Nanhai County."

Hu Ke and Gao Yuan's eyes were wide open, and they thought that if the husband really didn't make a sound, he would become a blockbuster. Jiangdong finally got the two counties of Jiaozhou, and this time he planned to uproot them.

"I heard that Shi Xie is old and conservative, will he send troops to offend Jiangdong?" Hu Ke asked worriedly.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "In the past, Wei Jing captured Nanhai County and used extremely disgraceful means to harm Shi Wu. The two brothers Wu Siding still have evidence. If this news spreads to Jiaozhi, do you think Shi Xie will To avenge my brother? I will write another letter and take it with you, I believe Shi Weiyan will not be indifferent."

"Wei." Hu Ke cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Seeing that the tokens in Lan Tian's hand were all distributed, Gao Yuan probably knew that he had no part in it, and the two followed to the back house to bid farewell to Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi is a hero among girls, capable and free-spirited in her conduct. When she learned that Lantian was going to fight with the army, she didn't worry about being a little girl at all, because she had absolute trust in the army that fell into the army.

"It's not the first time my husband is on the battlefield, why are you so cautious?" Lu Lingqi looked at the east wing and said, she thought Lan Tian was worried about A Dou's mother and son.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "The garrison of Quanling City is free this time, and all available generals will be dispatched except Gao Yuan. If there are villains in the city, please protect the children."

Lu Lingqi's eyes were firm, "Husband, but don't worry, I am in everything at home."

Lan Tian glanced at the children playing, then turned and left resolutely, but as soon as he reached the gate of the garden, Lu Lingqi behind him stopped him.

"What's the matter, Jun?" Lan Tian was full of doubts.

"My husband once said that a general should not venture into a dangerous place lightly, just plan a strategy and win thousands of miles away. Remember to introspect yourself every day." Lu Lingqi warmly instructed.

"I can save it." Lan Tian smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the garden.

Lan Tian walked quickly to the gate of the mansion, and while waiting for Gao Yuan to lead the horse, he saw Jiang Wan running out of breath.

"Where is Gong Yan going?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"The wharf is blocked today, troops are frequently mobilized inside and outside the city, and I see the general is in military uniform again. Could something important happen?" Jiang Wan asked, rubbing his chest.

Lan Tian nodded, "Gong Yan is really smart. I can't easily let Jiangdong send troops to violate the border these few days, but the situation is under control, and you don't need to worry about everything as usual."

Jiang Wan saw that Lantian looked relaxed, and the little nervousness on the road disappeared. He nodded slightly and said: "This time the general went out in person, and Gao, Gan and other generals also all left the city. Wan guessed that the matter must be serious, but Liu Jiyu We have just moved to Quanling, so we should not relax our vigilance, once we change our minds, it will be too late, and if we really can’t spare any troops, the Book and News Agency still has dozens of healthy soldiers available.”

After hearing this, Lan Tian smiled dumbly. Due to its special functions, Quanling Book and Newspaper Office is basically the largest intelligence station in Jingzhou. No wonder that every move of Quanling City cannot be hidden from Jiang Gongyan's eyes.

"I've already made arrangements with Liu Jiyu. Lu Sima still has dozens of instructors. General Zhenwei's mansion is next to the lecture hall. There can't be any big waves. Gongyan's book and newspaper office needs more manpower. After this incident, you will have it." I've got to be busy." Lan Tian was confident.
