Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 547

The establishment of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce happened to have contacts with merchants in the city, and Hu Ke's liaison work was also handed over to Song Chen for handling.

The last time Hu Ke wrote a letter was 20 days ago, in which he mentioned that Jianye's grain ship was going to Ruxukou, and judged the position of Sun Quan's main force in this way.

Sun Quan finally decided to attack Jingzhou. The only people in Jiangdong who knew about it were Sun Quan, Lu Fan, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, and all other generals were kept secret.

The main force of Jiangdong retreated from Ruxukou to Chai Sang. Quan Cong tried to persuade Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou during his stay, but Sun Quan justly refused, acting like a righteous man.

Although Hu Ke broke into the interior of Jiangdong, he was still a pawn used by Sun Quan to monitor the gentry, and he could not grasp the core military secrets, so he could only analyze it from multiple aspects.

"Are you still worried about Jiangdong? Sun Quan doesn't know the art of war at all, and it's actually not worth mentioning."

Gao Shun was very curious. He didn't know why Lan Tian was so wary of Jiang Dong, because he didn't care as much about Cao Cao as he did about Sun Quan.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled wryly: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years. I asked you to secretly train the reserve soldiers in the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Cangwu. What's the situation now?"

Because Guangzhou City has external secret operations, he deliberately did not expand his troops in order to paralyze Sun Quan. Instead, he secretly sent Gao Shun to Guiyang, Lingling, and Cangwu counties to train reserve soldiers. Some of these reserve soldiers were farmers, and some were from the county. Craftsmen and handymen, they participate in reserve training during their slack, and do their own things when there is no war.

"Because the selection is relatively strict, there are only more than [-] reserve soldiers at present." Gao Shun replied.

"Keep it up, ready to be recruited at any time." Lan Tian nodded.

"Wei." Gao Shun cupped his fists.

Lan Tian was planning to discuss with Gao Shun the equipment of the reserve soldiers when Jiang Wan suddenly brought Fa Zhengye to the apse.

"Sir, isn't he hiding in a bar?" Fazheng asked curiously.

"I'm almost done. Boping doesn't drink alcohol." Lan Tian responded with a smile.

"Are the Yue people in Longchuan troublesome? Do I need to contribute?" Fazheng's so-called contribution is to help out with ideas. He has received Lan Tian's favor, and at this time he wants to reciprocate.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "General Sha is a veteran in the battlefield, so there should be no problem in handling this simple Yueren riot."

"Then you and General Gao are here." Fazheng hesitated to speak, looking at Gao Shun thoughtfully.

Gao Shun's military quality is excellent, and he met Fazheng's eyes, not only without a twinkle, but also expressionless on his face.

Seeing the state of the two, Lan Tian quickly changed the subject: "Boping and I are discussing the battle situation in Xiangyang, and we are thinking about how we can help General Guan besides supporting food and grass."

"General Guan flooded the seven armies. Cao Jun must be terrified when he hears about it, but Xiangyang and Fancheng are the horns of each other, and we must divide our troops to attack to win. Fortunately, we have the advantage of the waterway now. It depends on whether Cao Cao will rescue it himself. If not Then General Guan will be able to achieve great achievements." Fazheng stroked the need for analysis.

"What if Cao Cao goes to rescue him?" Lan Tian asked.

Fazheng replied: "If Cao Cao really goes to save him, General Guan must also have reinforcements, otherwise he can only surround the spot to fight for reinforcements, consuming the vitality of Cao's army."

Lan Tian looked at Fazheng's plans from his heart, "General Zidu (Meng Da) is in Shangyong, why don't the military adviser write a book and send troops to help him? At that time, General Meng will also be on the credit list."

"General Guan doesn't like the young general (Liu Feng). If Zidu raises his troops to help, he might be hated by Yunchang." Fazheng is a little embarrassed, because Guan Yu is really difficult to get along with. If Meng Da is asked to go to the pole to save him, maybe will have the opposite effect.

Lan Tian reminded: "General Guan is not unreasonable. As long as it is beneficial to the country, why should he be timid? Besides, it is not a good idea to mix Zidu and Gongzi together."

Fazheng was taken aback when he heard that. When Liu Bei arranged to take the East Three Counties, he was sweating for his good friend Meng Da. Still working together is not good for the future.

"The general reminded me that I will write the book and send it to Shangyong, so that Zidu can send troops to Fancheng immediately." Fazheng said, cupping his hands.

"Wait a minute." Lan Tian suddenly called Fazheng to stop.

"Is there any order from the general?" Fazheng was full of doubts.

Lan Tian said meaningfully: "Since the military division wants to send a letter, why not give Zidu two clever strategies to defeat the enemy?"

"Uh, I don't know anything about the situation in Fancheng, how can I give you a plan? Could it be?"

Lan Tian nodded, "I did think of a plan. General Guan's flooding of the Seventh Army made Cao's army terrified. Fu Fang, governor of Nanxiang, and Hu Xiu, governor of Jingzhou, would surely surrender. Why didn't the military adviser make a fuss about these two men? Let Zidu beat them Fishing in troubled waters under the banner of the banner, maybe we can win Xiangyang or Fancheng."

"This Fu Fang and Hu Xiu rebelled against Cao?" Fazheng showed an incredulous expression, "Why is the general so determined?"

"Yesterday, I watched the sky at night, and the astrology showed it to be like this. Don't miss this opportunity. Kong Ming is also well versed in astrology and gossip. How can I talk nonsense about important military and state affairs, and the military commander doesn't have to believe it." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

Lan Tian pushed all the illusory evidence to the stars, and also used the spokesperson Zhuge Liang as evidence, making Lan Tian's point of view very "reliable".

In history, Liu Feng and Meng Da refused to send troops. Now that there are more letters from Fazheng, it may be very different.

Fazheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, if Lantian's so-called celestial phenomena were accurate, it would be a great contribution to Meng Da, so he quickly handed over his hands to express his gratitude: "If the astrological predictions are accurate, you can really use Fu Fang and Hu Xiuda to make a fuss, Now that the Jingzhou navy has blocked Xiangyang, and the news from the outside world has almost been interrupted, as long as we can win the trust of the prefect Lu Chang, we may really be able to win Xiangyang."

"The military strategist's analysis is not bad at all, but this strategy must be kept strictly confidential, if it is leaked, it will not work." Lan Tian reminded.

"I'm going to repair the book for Zidu right away, and make a kit for breaking the city, and ask the general to find someone reliable to deliver the letter." Fazheng nodded affirmatively.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, Song Chen inquired about intelligence and opened Yangping Pass, which left a deep impression on Fazheng, so he thought that the soldiers under Lantian should be stronger than the followers brought by Yizhou.

Lan Tian didn't refuse after listening, he patted his chest and replied: "Don't worry, military commander, there are many reliable people in Guangzhou City."

In order to keep Song Chen's identity from being exposed, Lan Tian wanted to call him after dark, but Fazheng's letter was quickly written in the state pastoral mansion.

It was not too late for Meng Da to send troops. After the celebration banquet was over, Lan Tian asked Gao Shun to secretly find Song Chen.

After Song Chen operated for a period of time, he took the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce as the center and continued to spread from Guangzhou City to the surrounding areas, forming a very complete intelligence network.

After receiving the summoning order from Lantian, Song Chen put on a disguise and finally appeared at the back gate of the state capital with two baskets of vegetables.

Seeing Song Chen's attire, Lan Tian covered his mouth and almost screamed out of laughter. If the basket was replaced with cooking cakes, it would be a cake seller from Qinghe County.
