Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 179

After Abu's 'death', the leader of the original Yue people's caravan became Ustin.

At the end of September in Jian'an 15, three large ships loaded with cargo sailed to Duanxi. Their purpose of this trip was to give gifts and open up the waterway from Yulin to the South China Sea.

Although the war has hindered communication, merchants who do business have their own channels, which can be achieved as long as both parties pay tribute.

On the deck of the last ship, a short boy looked forward excitedly. This was his first mission, and his heart was like a deer bumping around. He was Deng Fan, who was only 13 years old. .

Lan Tian finally agreed to let him go to the battlefield. Although he himself has not fought a few battles, it is not easy to suppress the enthusiasm of his disciples.

In the cabin, Gan Ning said: "Sir, why do you have to take risks yourself? With General Gao and a hundred soldiers here, I will definitely help you eliminate these bandits."

Lan Tian shook his head, "They are Boping's direct descendants, so they may not be willing to obey your order. This trip is to avenge Lu Tie, and I also want to contribute, and I will train Fan Er by the way."

"Fan'er is diligent and willing to learn, and he should be a pillar in the future. Now that he is brought out to fight, he can't be treated as a child. Why doesn't Mr. say a word for him? After thinking about it for so many years, has he forgotten it? "Gan Ning was puzzled.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Fan Er has written the characters long ago, and she just told me this morning when she set off, how about the characters?"

"Shi Ze? Is there a source?" Gan Ning asked wondering.

"A few days ago, I was preparing a Confucianism class in Quanling. A Confucianist from Yingchuan, when he mentioned the people in his hometown, he accidentally talked about the late Taiqiu Chang Chen Shi, and said two lines in his inscription: "Writing is for the world." Fan, a person who behaves is', Fan Er admired him, so he took it as a watch word." Lan Tian explained.

Looking at Deng Fan's back, Gan Ning said: "The implication is far-reaching, the name and the character fit well, and it is a good character. After the scholar becomes famous, it should be recorded in the Deng family tree."

"I'll let him go back to Linwu after the state affairs are settled." Lan Tian nodded.

Gan Ning stood up and strode up to the deck. Seeing that Deng Fan was a little nervous, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shize, when you can be as calm and composed as your husband, then you can be a teacher."

"Sir, there are endless strategies in my stomach. I will learn for a lifetime." Deng Fan said excitedly.

"You don't have to be afraid, just stay by your side, those thieves are all local chickens and dogs, and it only takes half an hour to deal with them." Gan Ning said with a smile.

Deng Fan shook his head, "I'm not afraid. I'm excited."

Gan Ningxin said good guy, there really isn't a coward around Mr.

After sailing in the river for a day, three cargo ships arrived at Duanxi Wharf, pretending to be soldiers accompanying the Yue people, and began to slowly carry the goods to the shore. Ustin sent people to take Bu Zhi's recommendation letter, and went to Yunkai Mountain first. report.

After Zhang Jin, the former governor of Jiaozhou, was killed, Jiaozhou fell into chaos in an instant. His generals, Yi Liao and Qian Bo, had thousands of soldiers, and they neither wanted to rely on the local wealthy family, nor did they seek refuge with the new governor Lai Gong and Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, later moved to Yunkai Mountain and became a bandit.

Lai Gong and Wu Ju often fought, and Yi Liao and Qian Bo survived in the cracks. Later, Bu Zhi brought troops to the South China Sea, subdued them by virtue of Sun Quan's prestige, and let them continue to hide in Yunkai Mountain.

After Yi Liao and Qian Bo failed to set up an ambush to attack Lai Gong, Bu Zhi failed to deliver new orders because of illness.

Hearing that the Yue people's caravan took the initiative to give gifts, Qian Bo came to the pier happily. He pointed at Ustin and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Chief Wu, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have become the owner."

"It's all about being recommended by the people of the clan, and I'm not competent." Although Ustin is not as smart as Abu, he has followed for several years and learned some essence.

"I think you are better at doing things than Chief Abu. Not only did you have a recommendation from General Jiang Dongbu, but you also sent us gifts. Last time Abu only delivered goods to Wu Ju, and didn't pay attention to us Yun Kaishan at all, as if This waterway is only the same as the officers and soldiers, what did Chief Wu bring this time?" Qian Bo looked at the busy 'Yue people' at the pier and asked.

"I bought some rice grains, vegetables and wine from Jingzhou, as well as some meat and game from the mountains," Ustin said.

Qian Bo nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Is there a lot of wine? Brothers are hungry for this in the mountains."

"Enough for the brothers to drink." Ustin said with a smile on his face.

"In the future, your caravans can pass freely, at least in the Duanxi section of the water, so you can get some wine." Qian Bo shouted loudly.

Ustin quickly waved his hand to stop it: "How can I let General Qian's soldiers do anything? I brought these Vietnamese guys to work hard and let them move up the mountain."

"How is this good?" The service was really good, which made Qian Bo a little embarrassed, but the three ships had a lot of cargo, and someone helped move them up the mountain, and his group of soldiers were very happy.

The goods brought by Wu Siding were all packed in simple wooden boxes, which was convenient for getting on and off the ship and unloading.

The soldiers in the formation carried the wooden box in two groups, looking quite relaxed, which surprised Qian Bo and the bandits in amazement.

"Boss Wu, your followers are very powerful." Qian Bo praised.

Ustin chuckled and said, "They are all farmers in the mountains to collect firewood. It would be easier to run with us."

Qian Boxin said that these Yue people should not be underestimated. Suddenly he found that Wu Sihei, Gan Ning, Lan Tian, ​​and Deng Fan were all empty-handed, and Gan Ning still had a sword hanging from his waist, so he frowned and asked suspiciously: " Why haven’t you seen those three people next to Wu Sihei before?”

"That is the guard I paid a lot of money for, and you know that nowhere in the world is safe." Ustin pointed to Gan Ning and explained.

"Guard? It's nothing special, but the other two don't seem like Yue people." Qian Bo looked Lan Tian and Deng Fan up and down.

Ustin continued: "They are the accountants I invited in Jingzhou, so they need to be more formal when doing business."

Qian Bo immediately felt relieved: "Chief Wu is amazing, I think you are more suitable for business than Abu, and you may become famous in less than two years."

"For us Yue people, it doesn't matter whether we are famous or not. It is enough to have a bite to eat." Ustin said with a smile.

"You go, let's go up the mountain, I'll buy you a drink." Qian Bo raised his whip and led the way.

There are many lush forests and lakes on Yunkai Mountain, and the mountains are undulating. If you use soldiers to ambush the main roads, it is unrealistic to wipe out these gangsters with very few troops, so Lan Tian chose to outwit them.

Gan Ning looked around in the mountains, and his admiration for Lantian increased a lot. He thought that if he led a hundred soldiers to seize the mountain, he would probably get lost in the mountain, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The people walked through dense forests and dangerous roads in the mountains, and finally found many wooden houses beside a lake, which were the shelters of these thieves.

The leader, Yi Liao, saw a stranger entering the mountain stronghold, so he frowned and asked, "General Qian, how can you lead an outsider up the mountain?"

"The leader of Wu is much more sincere than Abu, and I didn't bring enough brothers, so he sent his followers to help carry these big wooden boxes up the mountain. Brother Yi is too suspicious." Qian Bo pointed at Ustin and smiled. Say.
