Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 569
Although Guan Xing is four years older than Lan Ji, because he was weak and sick when he was a child, his 16-year-old is the same seven feet in size as Lan Ji, and the two seem to be the same age.

Because Guan Yu's family education was very strict, Guan Xing rarely had the opportunity to go out alone. This situation continued until Lan Ji went to Jiangling to live permanently. The two often played and practiced martial arts together, and occasionally had the opportunity to go out to play.

Since Lan Ji became the military commander, most of the time he was away from the state pastoral mansion. Guan Xing often used him as a pretense to sneak into Lan Ji's youth barracks to play.

"Brother An Guo, what happened?"

Seeing Guan Xing coming to visit again, Lan Ji slapped the armrest of the seat with both hands and jumped up, his exaggerated jumping ability made him stunned.

Guan Xing said with a solemn expression: "The four gates of Jiangling have just been closed, and Captain Xiang is dispatching to each gate."

"Take General Yu back to the prison to rest first." Lan Ji immediately interrupted Guan Xing, watched his subordinates push the prison cart away, and then continued to ask in a low voice: "Could it be that there is something wrong with Jiangling City?"

Guan Xing nodded, "I heard that Governor Su sent someone to send a message. Thousands of warships from Jiangdong appeared in the public security waters. It seemed that the visitors were not friendly. He reminded the Jiangling garrison to strengthen their defense. Now that Xu Junshi is not in the city, Xiang Xiaowei Pick up the burden."

"The Jiangling garrison has been transferred many times, and now there are less than 3000 people. The pressure on General Xiang should not be small. My youth battalion also needs to help out." Lan Ji's eyes were firm.

"Am I interesting enough? If you have a chance to go to the battlefield, you have to take me with you." Guan Xing lightly punched Lan Ji on the shoulder.

Lan Ji was startled when he heard that, and then shook his head, "How can that be? Without my uncle's permission, who would dare to take you to fight? Besides, I'm a young soldier, and General Xiang may not agree to defend the city."

"Zhongling, don't lie to me. Before Master Xu left, didn't he give him the right to make a judgment? Can General Xiang control you?" Guan Xing directly exposed Lan Ji.

Lan Ji replied naively: "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If Anguo suffers any damage, how can I explain to my uncle?"

"It's really embarrassing. It's useless for me to speak well of you in front of my little sister." Guan Xing looked at him sadly.

Lan Ji scratched his head and said he was speechless, although he and Guan Yinping had decided to get married, but the two of them were still young, and it would take several years before they got married.

At his age, he has already understood many things. His mother is so powerful, but his father controls him submissively. Guan Yinping's martial arts were all taught by Lan Ji. In the future, he will not be able to control himself even more. What does this second uncle want to do?
"Don't forget that I will intercede with Master Xu for you, otherwise how could Yu Jin become your private prisoner?" Seeing that Lan Ji didn't answer, Guan Xing continued to add.

Lan Ji was speechless when he heard it. With the friendship between his father and Master Xu, it should be no problem for him to ask for someone by himself, but he had already gone to ask for a prisoner at that time, and he was embarrassed to ask for the chief general again, so Guan Xing ran for him. Unexpectedly, he even took credit for it.

"Brother An Guo, it's not that I don't want to take it with you, but it's because you haven't been trained. If you don't listen to orders on the battlefield, it's easy to cause problems."

Lan Ji earnestly explained that the young soldiers under him were trained according to Gao Shun's method. Apart from daily hard training of individual combat ability, the most important thing was to enforce orders and prohibit them.

Guan Xing hastily argued: "I am also a general after all. Although I can't compare with you in martial arts, am I not as good as them? At worst, I will be your follower. Father has always attached great importance to you. Will punish you, what's wrong with covering for me? Everyone will be a family sooner or later, or are they good brothers?"

"Uh, okay." Lan Ji couldn't stand Guan Xing's soft and hard foam.

The two then came to the south gate of Jiangling and saw the guards and soldiers busy carrying arrows, stones, rolling logs and other defensive items to the city wall.

Ascending to the tower, Xiang Xun was setting up defenses. When he saw the two men, he didn't dare to neglect them, so he hurried up to meet them.

"Why are you two young masters here?" Xiang Xun bowed his hands and saluted.

"General Xiang, it is said that there will be a war?" Lan Ji and Guan Xing clasped their fists in return.

Xiang Xun smiled slightly, pointed downstairs and prevaricated: "It's nothing, Jiangling is impenetrable, I just let the guards practice the drill, and the two sons will go back to the youth camp to play."

"Help it from General Hegu, Su Dudu's scouts are at the station, and they almost bumped into me on the street just now." Guan Xing frowned.

Xiang Xun was startled, and quickly told: "Sir, don't say anything, Mr. Xu is not in Jiangling now, if it is spread maliciously, it may cause panic, and the city defense army has no energy to maintain law and order."

"We are here to help. I still have 500 people at my place. General Xiang, can you help me?" Lan Ji asked.

Xiang Xun said: "I know Mr. Lan has the right to judge. If you really want to contribute to the defense of Jiangling, you can help maintain order in the city. I am worried that once the Jiangdong army comes to attack, Jiangling City will fall into chaos for a short time."

"When will Jiangdong Army come?" Lan Ji asked.

Xiang Xun shook his head and replied: "I don't know exactly when, but according to Su Dudu's inference, he should arrive in Jiangling soon. In the two days when Jiangdong soldiers approached the city, there will definitely be brief disturbances in the city. Mr. Lan can use the interim power to deal with it. There is no problem in the sky, and the food and grass in the city can last for several months."

"That's easy, I'll go back and make arrangements right away." After speaking, Lan Ji suddenly remembered something, and then added: "Look at the city guards moving supplies just now, do you want me to transfer some prisoners to you? Those who don't want to be beaten Bing, I should be very willing to work with you."

"That's great, just a few hundred people."

Xiang Xun had already heard about Lan Ji's establishment of a youth battalion. Who would have thought that a 12-year-old child could think of using captives for training, but such a real fight is far more effective than hitting a wooden stake.

"Brother An Guo, let's go."

"okay."

Lan Ji went back to the camp and picked [-] captives and handed them over to Xiang Xun. These people have been defeated repeatedly in the environment of the jungle, and they are incompetent for training with a meal every day. Many of them were moved to tears.

The captives originally looked down on this group of children, especially those officers with good martial arts skills, but after fighting against Lan Ji, they all became party food, thinking that this guy is just kidding around?Obviously he was picking a tiger and leopard to ride.

Three days later, Lu Meng's [-] troops arrived outside the city of Jiangling. Looking at the banners on the city wall, he knew that the city was ready.

Han Dang escorted Lu Meng to the bottom of the city, and then shouted at the top of the city tower: "My lord received Jingzhou from the emperor's order, and now the heavenly soldiers from Jiangdong have arrived, so don't open the city gate quickly."

Xiang Xun poked his head out and said contemptuously, "Is your lord the son of Sun Quan? He and his father and brother have been in chaos in Jiangdong for many years. How could the emperor issue an edict to the bandits? It's really ridiculous."

"Everyone, how dare you be unreasonable?" Lu Meng was furious.
