Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 119 Only drinking Changsha water and eating Wuchang fish

It was only half a day's journey by boat along the Yangtze River to Chaisang. On the way, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang were already discussing how to break Cao.

Lan Tian made an agreement with Zhuge Liang long ago that he would play the role of a reckless man who doesn't understand military affairs, so as to give Jiangdong the appearance of Liu Qi being strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

Lan Tian came to the deck to enjoy the scenery, and Zhao Yun never left.

Lan Tian laughed and said, "Why doesn't Zilong rest in the cabin?"

"The military adviser and Mr. Lu are discussing important matters, it is better for Yun to come out and stay with Mr. Zhao Yun." Zhao Yun said.

"Isn't the general in Chen County? Why did you suddenly come to Jiangxia?" Lan Tian asked.

"Ahem, I just miss my lord, so I came here to take a look." Zhao Yun said with a red face.

Lan Tian knew from his expression that he would not lie, and thought that Zhang Yide should miss his brother-in-law more than you, and he has never been to Jiangxia privately.

"General Zilong is very different from me." Lan Tian sighed.

Zhao Yun shook his head hastily, "No. How could it be. Besides, my wife has lost her appetite recently, and she seems to be pregnant. I'll drop by Mr. Zhongjing for a prescription."

Zhao Yun's character is honest and honest. He really admires capable people, and he admires talents like Lan Tian even more.

After hearing this, Lan Tian laughed and said, "General Zilong has a successor, what's there to be embarrassed about? In recent years, life has been stable and comfortable. Many people have married wives and have children. It is a good thing that the population is prosperous, but now you are going to Chai Sang with me. Won't you delay your important event?"

"It's okay, I have asked people to return to Chen County first, and the master's important matter is the most important thing." Zhao Yun said.

Lan Tian nodded and sighed, "Zilong is really a loyal man."

After watching the scenery on the boat for a while, Lan Tian saw that Zhao Yun hesitated to speak, so he asked, "Zilong has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"I heard that Master held a martial arts lecture hall in Quanling. I wanted to attend it several times but missed the opportunity. Can you let me know in advance? Yun really wants to attend." Zhao Yun clasped his fists and pleaded.

Lan Tian originally lectured in the Martial Arts Hall of Linwu Office, but later moved to Quanling after taking up his post. Zhao Yun had several missions and was a general, so it was inconvenient to ask Liu Bei for leave. He now wants to make an appointment in advance. time.

Lan Tian smiled wryly: "The courses in the martial arts hall are all for the captain and lower-ranking officers. Why should General Zilong humiliate himself?"

"Although I have some bravery, I still have some deficiencies in how to manage and employ soldiers. The military master once said that the lessons in the martial arts hall are thought-provoking, please allow me." Zhao Yun respectfully, like a humble elementary school student.

Lan Tian nodded and said, "Zilong is sensitive and eager to learn. From now on, I will send someone to Chen County to inform you ten days before the martial arts lecture starts."

"Thank you sir." Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Lan Tian was bored on the deck. He found a fishing rod in the corner, and then sat on the bow and started fishing.

Because the boat is in motion, it is impossible to engage in the routine of making nests, and there are few fish in the surface waters of the Yangtze River, so there is no movement after fishing for a long time.

Lan Tian stood on the bow of the boat like a dead pine tree, the fishing rod in his hand remained motionless.

When the ship sailed near Wuchang, the bamboo pole began to shake slightly, and the float kept sinking. Lan Tian stood up and said happily, "Zilong, the fish is hooked."

Afterwards, Lan Tian picked up the pole and reeled in the line, and a white fish about two catties was pulled onto the deck. Zhao Yun hurriedly found a wooden basin to put it in.

Lan Tian continued to hang the bait and throw the rod again, and then hit several rods in a row, and caught several rods one after another, even Zhao Yun became excited.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were chatting in the cabin, and when they heard movement on the deck, they chased them out to wait and see.

"Ziyu, I'm so excited." Zhuge Liang smiled while shaking his feather fan.

Lu Su came over and saw that there were five or six fish in the wooden basin, and they were not small in size, so he sighed: "It's incredible that Lan Taishou can catch fish in a boat."

"These fish took the bait voluntarily. It has nothing to do with me. General Zilong will probably be able to catch it." Lan Tian also stopped fishing at this time.

"Hahaha" Zhuge Liang laughed a few times holding his fan, and then continued: "It's been a long time since I tasted Ziyu's craftsmanship, and now everyone's belly is empty, how about cooking a pot of fresh fish for us?"

"Military Master, there doesn't seem to be any condiments on board." Zhao Yun reminded.

It was past noon at this time, and Lan Tian was really feeling a little hungry. He confirmed to the boatman that there was a pot and salt, and then said: "High-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking method."

Lan Tian came to the stern to boil the water, and then skillfully killed and descaled the fish with a knife. Lu Su was amazed at the side, thinking that this guy is really good at cooking. Could it be that he conquered Liu Qi's stomach?

Because wine was added to the pot to remove the fishy smell, this pot of fresh fish tasted very good. Lan Tian invited Zhao Yun and Chen Dao to taste it together, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were full of praise.

Six fish can make five adults want to eat, but a pot of delicious soup can also fill them up.

Looking at the water of the Yangtze River, Lan Tian patted his stomach and said to himself: "I only drink Changsha water, and eat Wuchang fish. Thousands of miles across the Yangtze River, my eyes are so clear."

The words of the great man are still catchy to this day.

This sentence was impartial, and it happened to be heard by Lu Su.

Lu Su looked at Lan Tian's back and pondered for a moment, thinking that this Lan Taishou is not useless, besides being able to cook fish, he can also speak well.

In the afternoon, when the boat arrived in Chaisang, Zhou Yu went to the pier to meet him in person.

After Lu Su's introduction, Zhou Yu's eyes kept turning to Zhuge Liang. After all, his ordinary life metaphor has also spread to Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu is relatively perfunctory towards Liu Qi, a "confidant".

Then Zhou Yu led them into the city to meet Sun Quan. Lan Tian saw Fang Yi with a big mouth, blue eyes and purple beard, and thought that being a monarch was really different from ordinary people.

After a brief introduction, Sun Quan asked about Cao Cao's truth.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Although Cao Cao claims to have 80 to 40 soldiers, Liang thinks it is exaggerated. When he and Yuan Shao refused to go to Guandu, he had no more than a hundred thousand soldiers. The consumption is no more than [-] at most, and with the tens of thousands of newly acquired Jingzhou soldiers, the current total strength will not exceed [-]."

Sun Quan took a deep breath and thought that the 40 soldiers were not a small number. He asked with a heavy face, "Since Cao Mengde has 40 soldiers, Liu Yuzhou has defeated him several times. How do you plan to deal with yourself now?"

"What should the general do with himself?" Zhuge Liang asked back.

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Yangzhou has few small soldiers, and all the ministers are afraid of Cao Cao's force, so they all intend to surrender Cao Cao, but I am a little hesitant."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Sun Quan, then stared at the serious Lu Su, and said to himself, are you playing hard to get with me?
Zhuge Liang affirmed: "The general should act according to his ability. As long as he puts on his armor and faces north, not only can Jiangdong be saved from the flames of war, Cao Mengde will definitely reward the general with more officials and ranks."

Sun Quan's face changed slightly, "Why didn't Liu Yuzhou put on his armor and face north?"
