Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 228 Coincidence
During the Double Ninth Festival Banquet in the Changting Pavilion, Lan Tian intentionally or unintentionally laid the groundwork, which gradually resolved the doubts in Lu Su's heart.

Guan Yu watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end. He was sincerely shocked by Lan Tian's words, and he had the ability to turn decay into magic.

After successfully sending Lu Su away, Lan Tian took advantage of the sunset to play with his son Lan Ji by the river.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and watched the two enjoy their family relationship, and couldn't help but feel admiration for Lan Tian. This intimate relationship is enviable.

Whether it is Liu Bei, Zhang Fei or himself, no one can be as close to his son as Lan Tian, ​​and most of them only play the role of strict father.

Guan Ping walked to Guan Yu's side at this time, his own thoughts were on his young face, because Guan Yu married him a wife in Jiangxia a year ago, and maybe he will have his own son soon.

Guan Yu patted Guan Ping on the shoulder and said: "Who doesn't like a child like Lan Ji, but Uncle Ru is a high-ranking person in the world, and his talent is not inferior to Kong Ming, so if you can learn something, learn it. If you can't learn it, don't force it." Own."

Guan Ping nodded, "Father's words are very true, but Lan Ji is also a bit powerful, I admire it all."

"What do you mean?" Guan Yu turned his head and asked in confusion.

During the Chongyang banquet, Guan Ping took Lan Ji to play with his younger siblings according to Guan Yu's wishes.

Guan Yu's tutoring is very strict, and the children in the family play with great restraint, but Lan Ji has only been here for half a day, and he has become the king of the children in the Guan family's back house.

Hide and seek, hopscotch, attract ants with caramel, burn ant nests, goat jumping, cockfighting, tree climbing, wrestling.
Lan Ji almost played the games he usually played in the Guan family's back house, and he almost didn't go to the house to reveal the tiles. The Guan Xing brothers and sisters seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Although Guan Xing is a few years older than Lan Ji, he is willing to follow behind him as a younger brother, while his younger sister Guan Yinping has become Lan Ji's fan girl.

Guan Ping was worried that Guan Yu would go back and punish his younger siblings. He saw that he still had a good impression of Lan Ji just now, so he told the family affairs in advance while Guan Yu was happy. , but also showed a long-lost smile.

"No wonder the third brother wants to take Bao'er to Quanling to play. The son Ziyu taught is really different. Lan Ji is really wild, and I don't know how that Lan Yuan is. How can you and Xing'er be in the future?" Get closer to them." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said meaningfully.

"Father, aren't you angry? The house is in a mess right now, and I don't think it will be cleaned up tomorrow." Guan Ping lowered his head after finishing speaking.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm being strict with you, it's okay for Ji'er to come and have fun." Guan Yu said with a smile.

Guan Ping was originally worried about his younger siblings, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to be so tolerant and talkative today. He thought that it would be great if his uncle brought his son to visit more often, so that he could see his father's smile more often.

Lan Tian was about to leave early the next morning, and Guan Yu invited him to talk with candles at night in the war room. Lan Tian seemed to have a kind of magical power, and it was always very pleasant to talk to him.

The two sat on the ground at night, and Guan Yu remembered that Lan Tian suggested Jiangdong to fight Hefei. Lu Su worried that the battle of Tongguan would end soon, and it would be more difficult to attack the city in winter. He was afraid that Sun Quan would not agree to send troops.

Guan Yu asked with one hand on the ground: "Lu Zijing doesn't know Ziyu's ability, so he can't listen to your suggestion. It was expected that the Ma Chao coalition forces would fall into the trap. Could it be that Cao Cao won't win the Tongguan battle so easily?"

Lan Tian smiled and said: "Lai Gong and Lu Meng are fighting a war of attrition in Jiaozhou. This kind of conspiracy will not advance very quickly. Once it really becomes a force, it will be destroyed. Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers have not even grasped Cao Cao's intentions. How could they guess it? How much time does the war take? It is impossible to kill a hundred thousand pigs in a short time.”

Guan Yu nodded, "Fortunately, the generals in Kansai rebelled, and my brother was able to take the opportunity to take Xichuan. We just recuperated. I will send troops to the north to attack the Central Plains when the world is divided into three parts. At that time, I will rely on Ziyu to guard the rear."

"My family doesn't talk about the two families. When the time comes, General Guan will go forward bravely. I will prepare soldiers, rations and armors for you to help my brother-in-law help the Han Dynasty." Lan Tian said solemnly.

"I'm relieved to have Ziyu's words." Guan Yuxin said that you really paid attention to my age.

"I have to go on my way tomorrow, why don't I just turn off the lights and go to sleep?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Alright." Guan Yu nodded lightly, and then blew on the oil lamp on the stage.

The moment the fire was extinguished, Guan Yu's eyes fell on the location of Yongzhou on the map in the hall. His two nights of communication with Lan Tian broadened his horizons and his way of thinking became more comprehensive.

According to Lantian's ebb and flow, you guys should fight hard. Whether it is Cao Cao and Ma Chao Tongguan consumption, or Sun Quan and Cao Cao Hefei consumption, the more you consume, the more beneficial it will be for the eldest brother to help the Han family in the future.

Cao Cao traveled westward via the Yellow River in Hangushuo to Tongguan in August, and has been stalemate with the Kansai coalition forces for nearly a month now.

Although Tongguan is majestic and steep, it is not a one-man pass. It is a narrow pass that cannot be opened by ten thousand men. If you really want to hold this pass, you need a large army to guard it.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of Tongguan, Cao Cao adopted a strategy of pressing and suppressing after the soldiers arrived, pretending that he must break through Tongguan and enter the Guanzhong area. After the attention of the coalition forces was attracted to Tongguan, various ministries successively increased troops to defend Tongguan.

When Cao Cao heard that the increase in troops at Tongguan was not worrying, he was happy instead. General Cao Hong asked suspiciously, "The Prime Minister was frowning when he first came to see Xiongguan. Why is he so happy to hear about the increase in allied troops?"

Cao Cao looked around at the counselors and generals in the tent, and saw that everyone was thinking hard, but Jia Xu had a strange expression. Cao Cao knew that this man was a scheming man, so he raised his head and smiled and said: "Guanzhong is a long way to go, if all the thieves stand in the way according to danger, I have set up an army to conquer for a year or two, and it is still uncertain. Now the thieves have come to gather, although there are many of them, there is no one to submit. The army has no suitable leader, and it can be destroyed with one blow.

"Prime Minister is wise." Cao Hong clasped his fists in compliment, and all the generals in the tent echoed in unison.

Cao Cao adopted Xun You's strategy to be weak first and then strong, and directly locked his target on the generals in Kansai. In order to become famous as a teacher, he used seemingly unwise tricks to force them back.

Seeing the time gradually dragging on to winter and the weather getting colder, Cao Cao became determined to fight. The so-called war of attrition does not mean waiting until the real food is exhausted. Apart from food, the coalition forces also lack winter clothing. It is very easy to make mistakes at this time. .

After Cao Cao thought about attacking, he summoned Xu Huang, who was familiar with the terrain in Guanzhong.

"Gongming is here again, what can I do to help me enter Guanzhong?" Cao Cao asked.

Xu Huang clasped his fists and replied: "Tongguan is strong and difficult to attack, and the coalition forces are heavily stationed at this time. Why doesn't the prime minister divide his troops and cross the Yellow River west? Bypassing Tongguan by water is a natural danger. If the bandits lose their geographical advantage, it will not be difficult to defeat them."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Gongming and I agree to cross the Yellow River from Pubanjin to the west with your four thousand soldiers and Zhu Ling. I will lead the main force to cross the river to cover you. As long as one army can cross, all troops can cross." .”
