Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 282 Yuanzhi is too straight
When Gan Ning returned to Jiangxia from Ruxu, the city guard told Guan Yu to go to Jiangling, so he bid farewell to Fu Shiren and Guan Ping to return to Jiangling.

When approaching the Jiangling wharf, warships and transport ships docked neatly. Gan Ning asked the officers and soldiers of the transport ships, and learned that Lan Tian and Guan Yu were both in Jiangling at the moment.

After Gan Ning landed, he went straight to the city. The newly recruited soldiers from Jingnan were stationed outside the city. After Gao Shun's short-term training, they have now been handed over to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others.

Stepping into General Zuo's mansion, Gan Ning found more than a dozen unfamiliar generals, among whom he only knew the young general Liu Feng.

Gan Ning is now a famous general in Jingzhou, and the others saluted him one after another. Liu Feng also clasped his fists in greeting: "I heard that General Gan has gone to Jiangdong, is the war over there?"

"General Guan and General Lan are in the mansion?" Gan Ning didn't answer directly.

"They are discussing the marching route in the main hall." Liu Feng said.

Gan Ning nodded, "It seems that the young master is going to Sichuan too, this time the action is really big enough, I will go into the hall and find General Guan to report back."

"General, please." Liu Feng smiled slightly.

In the center of the main hall is a simple sand table of Yizhou, and everyone gathers around to make the final strategic deployment. The most important thing for an army expedition is food supplies. Lantian needs to determine the food transportation channels for the three soldiers and horses.

Lantian will continue to transport during the war. Zhuge Liang and others should open the passage between Yizhou and Jingzhou as quickly as possible without any worries, and join forces with Liu Bei to besiege Chengdu earlier.

Liu Bei occupied Yizhou one day earlier to buy time for the later capture of Hanzhong.

At the end of last year, Liu Bei trapped and killed Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the guards of Baishui Pass, officially broke with Liu Zhang and sent Huang Zhong and Zhuo Ying to lead the army south, attacking Fucheng like a broken bamboo along the way.

Liu Zhang in Yizhou had [-] armored troops, while Liu Bei had only [-] soldiers and horses at this time. The army was isolated and helpless and would be in danger of running out of food at any time, so he was careful not to act rashly. He only left [-] soldiers for Huo Jun to guard Jiameng Pass, and the rest of the troops were all stationed. Fucheng, ready to welcome reinforcements from Chengdu, and waited for an opportunity to attack Mianzhu.

After the siege of Fucheng, Zheng Du, Liu Zhang's counselor, suggested that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses be starved to death in Yizhou, but Liu Zhang did not accept it. On the one hand, he sent Liu Gui, Leng Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi to lead With an army of [-], the Fifth Route Army went to Fucheng to resist the enemy. On the other hand, Fujin and Xiangcun led more than [-] troops to attack Jiameng Pass from Langshui.

Liu Zhang knew that Liu Bei was used to fighting, but after all, his troops were too few and some of them were Yizhou soldiers. As long as he could break through both sides, Liu Bei would be defeated. Although Liu Bei quickly captured Fucheng, Liu Zhang still didn't take him seriously. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

The battle situation in Yizhou was unclear in Jingzhou. Lan Tian worried that his appearance would have a butterfly effect. If Liu Zhang took Zheng Du's suggestion, then Liu Bei's situation would be very dangerous, so he sent troops to Yizhou one year in advance.

When Lan Tian and the others were chatting in full swing, Gan Ning quietly exchanged greetings with Gao Shun at the door, and they were discovered before they had spoken a few words.

"Gan Xingba? Are Cao Thief and Sun Quan finished?" Zhang Fei asked with a puzzled expression.

Lan Tian, ​​Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others looked over at the same time. Gan Ning hurriedly greeted everyone, and then cupped his fists to Guan Yu and said: "Cao Cao and Sun Quan have been confronting each other for a long time at Ruxukou. Lu Zijing said goodbye and came back to help."

"The sailors you brought?" Guan Yu asked with concern.

"The four thousand naval forces are resting in Jiangxia, and I have transferred the command to General Fu and General Fu," Gan Ning explained.

Guan Yu nodded, and said in his heart that it doesn't matter if he helps or not, as long as he brings it back intact.

"Ziyu, Xingba will be returned to you now." Guan Yu said with a smile, scratching his beard.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "General Guan is the governor of Jingzhou, and Xingba is also controlled by you. You can talk about whether to pay back or not."

"The four counties in Jingnan need more manpower. It would be better for Xingba to follow you. Last year's borer disaster caused Jiangbei's production to decrease. Ziyu has more ways to do it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to raise food and grass for this time." Guan Yu sighed.

Xu Shu interrupted and asked, "When did the Jiangling and Jiangxia counties introduce new planting methods? And the pesticides that Ziyu used last year? If Jingnan hadn't been responsible for the storage of military grain and the manufacture of military armor, Jingnan should be richer than Nanjun. It's really eye-catching."

After Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, Xu Shu wanted to assist Guan Yu in managing the military administration of the two counties, and more often focused on government affairs, so at this moment he came up with the idea of ​​Lantian Agriculture.

"Let's implement the previous plan. After all, Jiangling and Jiangxia counties are bordered by Cao Cao and Sun Quan's territory. The high yield and planting technology can be easily promoted. Don't fall into the hands of the enemy. If the two counties encounter any natural disasters again, Yuan Yuan You can find Ziyu to help." Zhuge Liang laughed.

Xu Shu said helplessly: "I guess the lord took Yizhou, and the people of Yizhou will benefit more than Nanjun."

Zhang Fei pointed out: "Yuan Zhi really lives up to his name. Don't be so straightforward. Isn't it good if Nanjun has difficulties? Then you can often go to Lingling."

Lan Tian was stunned when he heard that, the three generals were about to lead troops into Shu, and they wanted to beat my autumn wind.

After Xu Shu heard this, he looked at Lan Tian and smiled. Zhuge Liang was more concerned about Cao Cao's activities. He asked Gan Ning carefully: "General Gan, what is the situation in the east? Can Sun Quan hold Cao Cao?"

Gan Ning replied: "Cao Cao's naval forces are weak, and Jiangdong's cavalry are also weak. The two sides have won each other in the two-month confrontation, but Sun Quan has a geographical advantage in guarding Ruxukou."

"I hope that Jingzhou will be peaceful during the period of entering Sichuan." Zhuge Liang said to himself, Jingzhou is Liu Bei's base camp, and all the families of soldiers entering Sichuan are in Jingzhou, so there is absolutely no room for loss.

"My second brother is invincible, there is nothing to worry about." Zhang Fei didn't care.

Zhuge Liang nodded affirmatively, then looked at Guan Yu and asked solemnly: "If Cao Cao leads troops to attack Jingzhou, how will Yun Chang deal with it?"

Guan Yu said disdainfully, "Reject him with force."

"What if Cao Cao and Sun Quan send troops to attack together?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Divide the troops and reject them." Guan Yu snorted contemptuously with his Danfeng eyes open.

Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard it, "It's true, Jingzhou is over."

Guan Yu had a question mark on his face, "Brother has been wandering for many years, and finally got this foundation. Since Guan has accepted the important task, he should defend it to the death, and the soldiers will cover it up with water and soil, shouldn't it be like this?"

Zhuge Liang said earnestly: "Why did Yun Chang say death? Liang left eight words, which can keep Jingzhou safe. The general must remember it."

"Sir, please tell me."

"East and Sun Quan, North reject Cao Cao."

Guan Yu seemed to have realized something after hearing this, at this time Xu Shu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Kong Ming, but don't worry, with me and Ziyu here, Jingzhou will be safe."

"Military commander enters Sichuan with peace of mind, and we will work together." Lan Tian then added that he did not enter Sichuan with Liu Bei, he just wanted to help the second master guard the rear, crossing the river in white clothes, and stabbing Sun Quan in the back, all of which are impossible to succeed.

Zhuge Liang nodded in relief. Guan Yu's strength is definitely top-notch, but his character is too resolute and difficult to get close to. Fortunately, Xu Shu and Lan Tian are compatible with him.
