Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 453 I have a friend

Lan Tian heard the two brothers enjoying themselves outside the door, and did not complain about his preference for his daughter. He and Gao Shun looked at each other with a smile and were ready to leave.

At this time, another question came from Lan Ji: "I don't know what kind of character my little sister is."

Lan Yuan asked back: "Should be similar to my mother? Qingmei must be a hero among women just like her mother."

"Where did you hear that? Sister Yinping is very lively. I don't think I follow my mother or my father." Lan Ji retorted.

Lan Yuan: "Sister Yinping?"

Lan Ji: "Uh, it's my uncle's daughter, Guan Yinping. Although she's only one year younger than me, she's a lot shorter. She follows me like a tail all day long."

Lan Yuan suddenly realized, "It turns out that she is the daughter of General Guan. If you go away as a guest, don't bully her."

"How dare I? General Guan is very strict. In two years, Qingmei will be able to run in the field. Brother, you have to watch over her. Don't let her follow others and call you brother," Lan Ji instructed.

"Then you're thinking too much, there are so many people in our family, how can outsiders get in?" Lan Yuan disagreed.

"Indeed." Lan Ji replied.

Lan Tian frowned outside the window, thinking how old are the two children, and they started discussing girls at such a young age?Did ancient children mature prematurely?

"Boping, you heard it too. The two children are actually quite sensible. I'll just pay attention to it in the future." Lan Tian pulled Gao Shun aside and said.

Gao Shun nodded, "I just want to remind Mr. that the lord's children should be treated equally, at least when they are young."

"I can save this. Let's talk to Uncle Ji. He came all the way from Chengdu. It's not as simple as congratulations." Lan Tian patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said to himself that I have received the education of the new era. Dare to say that no one in the Three Kingdoms can understand the equality of men and women better than him.

"Wei." Gao Shun responded with cupped fists.

There seemed to be a tea party in the courtyard of the back house. Old acquaintances Xu Shu, Xiahou Qi, Yuan Wei, Jiang Wan, and Yi Ji chatted happily. Lan Tian strode over and asked, "What are you talking about? Pretty relaxed."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "I'm promoting Guangzhou City to them. The other courtyard that Ziyu arranged for my mother is very comfortable. You can see the sea from a distance by opening the door. You have to ask Ziyu for a house as soon as possible, and come to Guangzhou to live in seclusion when you get old." really nice”

"Ahem, prefect Xiahou and prefect Yuan are quite close, and Ji Bo is far away in Chengdu, which is the land of abundance," Lan Tian joked.

Yi Ji waved his hands and smiled wryly: "Should the Land of Abundance be cold or cold?"

Lan Tian suddenly changed the topic, "Uncle Ji is here to Jiaozhou, is there anything else besides congratulations?"

Yiji nodded: "Several military advisers wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Jiangdong and go northward to Yangping Pass to capture Hanzhong. However, when preparing food, grass and military equipment, they found that it was not a good time for the Northern Expedition."

"Hanzhong has key roads and dangers. It is not easy to overcome in a short time. In addition, Zitong has flooded with 20 refugees. It is not easy to settle them properly. Shizai (Deng Ai) borrowed from Xindengzhuang, Linwu at the beginning of the year. With [-] villagers entering Sichuan, I think there should be a big shortage of grain and grass in Hanzhong.” Lan Tian analyzed.

"The Zhuge army division and the French army division have calculated that there will be barely enough food and grass after at least the autumn harvest in Zitong. It will take two thousand miles to transport grain from other counties to the front line of Yangpingguan. In addition to the consumption of food and grass during the transportation process, the requisition of deserted land by civilians is also a big problem. This is a big problem, once it is impossible to solve it for a long time, the years of recuperation in Yizhou will be wiped out." Yiji replied.

"Military Master Zhuge is always cautious, so he probably wouldn't agree to such a risky thing. Uncle Ji seemed to mention ordnance just now?" Lan Tian asked again.

Yiji nodded in affirmation: "Yizhou can use about [-] soldiers and horses, but at present there is a shortage of winter clothes, armor and weapons for at least [-] soldiers. It’s too complete, and I hope Mr. Xuan Xiao can give us support.”

Lan Tian looked at Jiang Wan and said: "According to Kong Ming's Longzhong statement, the lord must take Hanzhong. We will bear most of the supplies that are in short supply in the current war. I will leave this matter to you, Gong Yan, and urge the relevant military workshops to make full use of it." , must be completed before next year's autumn harvest."

"Wei." Jiang Wan bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but admire Lantian's long-term layout of the whole process, starting from the establishment of Quanling Academy to cultivate talents in agriculture and craftsmen, to the establishment of reserve official warehouses in various places to store grain, and the large-scale deployment of military workshops in Guangzhou City. In ordinary years, it is used to make folk products, and then sold in the trade area.

Yiji's heart fell to the ground, and he felt as if he was here in Lantian, as if there was nothing he couldn't do, and then he continued to talk about the old days with Xu Shu and others.

Lan Tian asked people to prepare a banquet in the small courtyard, and he wanted to clean up Yiji here.

Everyone chatting gradually turned the topic to the Jianghuai battlefield. According to the latest news, Cao Cao’s 30 troops have arrived in Shouchun, and they should start a war with Sun Quan in Jiangdong next year. Everyone is not very optimistic about Sun Quan’s disastrous defeat in Hefei, but Xu Shu’s opinion is slightly different. different.

Xu Shuyan said: "Although Cao's army looks powerful, Sun Quan is guarding the Ruxu Shuikou. If he can't break through, he will not be able to enter the Yangtze River. Moreover, the Jiangdong water battle is unparalleled in the world. Cao Cao's 30 people may not be able to get cheap."

"Master Xu's analysis is reasonable, but Sun Quan's defeat last time was really weird. If this time is like the last Hefei battle, what can we do?" Cangwu prefect Xiahou Qi asked.

Xu Shu shook his head, "It is true that there are no absolutes in the world. Ziyu has always had a strong sense of the overall situation. Why don't you ask his opinion?"

When Xu Shu was talking, Gao Shun was whispering something in Lantian's ear.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lan Tian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Master Xu asked you to estimate the outcome of the battle between Sun and Cao." Yuan Chen reminded.

Lan Tian replied disapprovingly: "Judging from Gan Xingba's experience in supporting Ruxu last time, Cao Cao only has two or three months to attack. If the war drags on to Chaohu Lake, he will definitely not be able to win against Jiangdong. I expect this time to be the same as last time." The results are roughly the same, and the two sides will end in a draw."

Xu Shu nodded in affirmation: "Ziyu understands the profound in a simple way, and penetrating into the inside. He really is good at looking at the problem from the overall situation. In this way, the war will end soon. Fortunately, the lord is not in a hurry to attack Hanzhong. Otherwise, Cao Cao will return to Hanzhong to help him. It will become troublesome, and the two sides will consume food and troops in the mountains, and eventually both sides will end up with losses."

Lan Tian kept shaking his head after listening, and Xu Shu asked curiously, "Could it be that I'm not right?"

"Although both sides are hurting, but the lord only has three states, and Cao Cao owns the whole north, we will be hurt more severely." Lan Tian explained.

Xu Shu smiled wryly and asked, "Ziyu is very tricky, so I won't praise you anymore. Just now you and General Gao were whispering about secrets?"

"I have a friend in his thirties who is finally getting married recently."
