Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 442 Lantian's Guarantee

Ma Liang cupped his hands and said, "Liao Gongyuan is in Berkshire, and his comments on the Yangtze River were sharp before. I think he can be invited to comment on a few more issues."

"Ji Chang's words are very good. In the past two years, celebrities in Jingzhou have made comments, and the style is still too tactful." Xu Shu nodded affirmatively.

Lan Tian frowned and said: "Since we want to condemn for a long time, we'd better keep our eyes open. The famous people in Jingzhou can be criticized, the famous people in Yizhou can be criticized, and even the famous people in Jiangdong can be judged."

"Jiangdong Celebrities? No, no, no, no, no, no, before Cao Cao went south to fight in Chibi, Jiangdong counselor Zhang Zhao took the lead in asking for surrender. They had long ignored the emperor and admired Cao Cao. How could they criticize him in the Yangtze River News?" Guan Yu kept shaking his head when he heard this.

The corners of Lan Tian's mouth rose slightly, "All the officials in Jiangdong can surrender Cao, but Sun Zhongmou will not surrender Cao. Isn't Lu Zijing trying to fix it? They shouldn't condemn Cao Cao's usurpation and claiming the king?"

"Since Ziyu agrees, we can resume trade. Anyway, before Zhuge's army entered Shu, he told me to reject Cao Cao with Sun Quan in the east and Cao Cao in the north. I will send someone to tell Lu Zijing back." Guan Yu nodded slightly.

Lan Tian reminded: "Although non-governmental business exchanges are resumed, we cannot relax our vigilance."

Guan Yu smiled coldly: "Ziyu can rest assured that Dongting and the police are guarded by General Gan and General Su. I also set up beacon towers along the river to send messages. I will not give Jiangdong rats a chance to sneak attack."

Lan Tian nodded: "Anyway, be careful."

"How long will Ziyu stay in Jiangling? Mother will cook for you herself." Xu Shu asked with a smile.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Madam's kindness is reserved for next time. I will leave for Jiaozhou tomorrow. My wife is pregnant and has limited mobility. There are still many government affairs in the state."

"That's really gratifying, I won't keep you any longer this time." Xu Shu responded with a smile.

Guan Yu looked Lan Tian up and down and praised: "Ziyu, you're okay."

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, thinking what can I say?Then he said to Xu Shu: "Guangzhou City faces the sea, and there is warm sun in winter. I have built several small courtyards in the city. Yuan Zhi can take the old lady there to spend the winter."

Xu Shu nodded, "If you have time, you must go."

Lan Tian turned around and told Jiang Wan: "Gong Yan, we are going back to Jiaozhou tomorrow, please trouble you and Ji Chang (Ma Liang) to find someone to transcribe Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases."

"Wei." Jiang Wan nodded.

Xu Shu also said to Ma Liang: "The tone of this issue of the Yangtze River News is more passionate, we must do our best to criticize Cao thief, and we will produce the first draft within three days."

"Wei." Ma Liang bowed and raised his hand.

After Jiang Wan and Ma Liang left, Lan Tian continued to discuss the regional situation with Guan Yu and Xu Shu. Since Sun Quan's last sneak attack failed, Jingzhou had not fought for a long time. A powerful deterrent.

A few days ago, Zhang Fei defeated Zhang Yun in Dangqu. After the news reached Jingzhou, Guan Yu was happy for him for a long time.

"My lord has gained so many people in Hanzhong for no reason. I think after two years of recuperation, he will plan to plot Hanzhong?" Xu Shu analyzed the situation.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively: "Brother-in-law takes in refugees from Hanzhong to farm and grow grain, which will be of great help to the capture of Hanzhong in the future. I don't think this day will be too long. If Sun Quan can contain Cao Cao in Huainan, how can Xia Houyuan be brother-in-law's opponent?"

Guan Yu shook his head and stroked his beard: "Sun Quan's [-] was beaten to the ground by Zhang Wenyuan's [-]. Anyway, I don't have any expectations for him. In the past two years, I will fight hard in Jingzhou. When the time comes, my elder brother will attack Hanzhong and Cao Cao will lead the main force to help. Jingzhou The soldiers can wait for the opportunity to recover Xiangfan and go straight to Wanluo."

"I have the same opinion as Yun Chang. If my lord can trap Cao Cao in Hanzhong, General Guan will use Jingzhou soldiers to attack Xiangfan, and then cut off Cao Cao's return route from the Central Plains, then the world will be stable and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous." Xu Shu agreed. .

Lan Tian nodded slightly in response. It is difficult for him to predict things that have not happened, but if the old historical trajectory is followed, the Guan Erye in front of him will fall after the highlight moment. His task is to prevent this from happening. It can attract Sun Quan's hatred and forcibly grab the right to line up.

"Why is Ziyu frowning? Could it be that you have any concerns? When the time comes for Guan's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, I will rely on you for money, food and soldiers," Guan Yu said seriously.

Lan Tian smiled and promised: "You don't have to worry, Chief Yun, the soldiers, horses, money and food are all my responsibility, and I will recruit some troops for you when the time comes.

In addition, I asked Li Yi to build ships in the South China Sea, but there is a big difference between sea ships and inland river ships. Would you like to send some shipbuilders from Jingzhou to the south?Build warships near Quanling or Cangwu, so that secret shipbuilding can paralyze Cao Ren and Lu Zijing. "

"Yuan Zhi, we have Mr. Xuan Xiao in charge, so we can rest easy." Guan Yu sighed.

The three officers chatted happily in the hall, while Gao Shun was bored outside the door. He was very worried that Lan Ji would not adapt to Jiangling, so he called Guan Ping to stop him many times and asked him to take care of him.

Guan Yu caught a glimpse of Gao Shun talking to Guan Ping with a solemn expression by chance, so he shouted loudly outside the hall: "Pinger, what's the matter with General Gao?"

Without waiting for Guan Ping's response, Gao Shun went into the hall and clasped his fists to ask for instructions: "General Guan, Master Xu, sir, we are leaving for Jiaozhou tomorrow, do you want to go and see how Ji'er is getting used to it?"

"Then let's take a look?" Lan Tian asked.

Guan Yu smiled and stood up, "Then let's go, Ji'er has a lively personality and is not much different from Anguo in age, so he should have played well."

Lan Tian, ​​Xu Shu, and Gao Shun followed Guan Yu into the back house, and when they walked outside the door, they heard the applause from inside.

Everyone came in and saw that Lan Ji was showing off his stick skills, Guan Xing, who was four years older than him, had his hair tied up, and Guan Yinping, an eight-year-old little girl, kept clapping.

Both Lan Ji and Guan Yinping wore two horn hair knots, Guan Yinping looked cute and cute, and Lan Ji looked a little funny.

"An Guo, Yin Ping, come and call someone." Just as Guan Yu entered the courtyard, a dark cloud seemed to appear over the children's heads.

"Uncle, Mr. Xu" Guan Xing and Guan Yinping saluted in unison.

"Father, Uncle, Mr. Xu" Lan Ji followed and saluted.

Guan Yu pointed at Gao Shun and said, "This is General Gao, please call him Uncle Gao."

"Uncle, my name is Uncle Gao," Lan Ji reminded.

Guan Yu was startled and said, why is his seniority so high?Lan Tian seemed helpless because he was Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Gao Shun's seniority was really embarrassing.

"Uh, then you can call after Ji'er." Guan Yu shook his head.

"Uncle Gao" Guan Xing and Guan Yinping bowed their hands and said hello.

Gao Shun could only nod his head in embarrassment, Lan Tian changed the topic and asked, "I remember that the second son is only 13 years old, why has he started to tie his hair?"

"An Guo's head grows very fast, and combing a child's hair in a bun is not elegant, so I not only tied his hair in advance, but also gave him a letter in advance, but Guan saw that Ji'er grew faster, and Ziyu also helped him earlier. Tie your hair up." Guan Yu explained. (Note: In ancient times, 15-year-old hair was tied, and 20-year-old had a weak crown)
Lan Tian nodded, "Then I'll tie Yuan'er's hair when I go back, he's about the same size as Anguo (Guan Xing)"
