Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 57
Looking at the open-minded and sincere Liu Bei, Lan Tian thought that he had to find you a military advisor. He didn't know where Xu Shu was, and whether he came to Jingzhou at this time. After all, Liu Bei was a year ahead of schedule.

As for inviting Zhuge Liang to come out, Lan Tian didn't intend to recommend it personally, because Mr. Kong Ming had a very grand foreshadowing from the time he heard about it, and Liu Bei got it after visiting the thatched cottage in the end. He didn't want to destroy Zhuge Liang's sense of expectation in Liu Bei's heart.

Regarding Liu Bei's question just now, Lan Tian thought for a moment before slowly saying: "Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated by Cao Cao with a small number of people in Guandu. The reasons can be summed up in two points.

The so-called embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. Yuan Benchu ​​practiced the stupid trick of separating the princes, and asked his ministers to support one of the sons for the sake of profit. The sons are actually the way to bring disaster.

Continuing internal strife in the struggle for hegemony will inevitably put the people of the country in danger, and the proud lion will eventually grow old, so I think Cao Cao's victory is very good.

But Yuan Benchu ​​has been operating in Jizhou for many years, and the situation in Hebei will not change in a short time, but Cao Cao will become stronger and stronger. "

Lan Tian's words made Liu Bei feel deeply, because when he went from Hebei to Runan, it was mainly because of the crowding out by Guo Tu and others.

"Then what about Xinye? Will Cao Cao attack?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "Not in a short time, even if Cao Cao can win this time, he still needs time to rest.

If he really took the risk to attack Xinye, I think that no matter how unwise Yuan Benchu ​​was, he would learn the lesson of standing still. After Yuan Benchu ​​attacked with the crowd from Hebei, Cao Cao would be in danger. "

"Ziyu is right." Liu Bei nodded.

"Brother-in-law can rest and recuperate at ease. We must hurry up to train our troops and stock up on food. Only when we have enough soldiers and food can we be invincible in attack and defend invincible." Lan Tian reminded.

"Why don't Ziyu move back to Xinye? I usually ask for advice sooner or later." Liu Bei said.

"Brother-in-law, if you have time, you might as well recruit wise men from all over the world. Now I can farm the land as the most important thing." Lan Tian shook his head and said.

At this time, Guan Yu who was beside him also said: "Ziyu's words are very kind. The soldiers and horses will go before the food and grass are moved. Now the farming is indeed the most important thing. We can't ask Liu Jingsheng for food frequently."

Liu Bei stood up and sighed, "Where are the sages from Xinye County, hey?"

"Ai Ai."

The little Deng Fan in Lan Tian's arms suddenly imitated Liu Bei's language, because Tong Yan Wuji directly amused Zhang Fei.

"Brother-in-law, don't be confined to Xinye. Jingxiang has been relatively stable in recent years. There are many famous people who have fled here. You should go out." Lan Tian suggested.

"go out?"

"Xinye is not far from Xiangyang, and Liu Jingsheng has a feeling of acceptance for us. Brother-in-law, why don't you go for a walk often, maybe you can meet talented people, and waiting for a rabbit is not feasible."

Liu Bei thought so, and said, "It's always bad to leave empty-handed, Ziyu, what gift do you think I'll bring?"

"You might as well pick a cart of vegetables and send them here," Lan Tian suggested.

"Vegetables? This gift might make people laugh, is it inappropriate?" Guan Yu asked eagerly.

Lan Tian laughed and said, "I said, 'Isn't it because of softness that a husband's tongue survives? Isn't it because of rigidity that the death of teeth?'

My brother-in-law has the reputation of being a hero, so Liu Jingsheng is afraid of him. Now that we live in Xinye, only showing weakness can numb his heart. "

Liu Bei understood instantly, and clapped his hands in applause, "Ziyu is really kind, Yunchang, Yide, let's go pick vegetables."

"Brother-in-law, please sit down, how can such things bother you!" Lan Tian hurriedly stopped.

Picking vegetables is such a trivial matter, no matter Lantian or Gaoshun, just stand on the side of the road and shout, and some people from Tuntian rush to do it.

There were distinguished guests at home today, the old landlord Deng called his son-in-law Li Yang back early, and asked him to go to the market to buy meat and wine, and Lan Tian cooked for everyone to have a feast.

Zhao Yun, who had been silent all this time, was eating with his head down. Zhang Fei suddenly handed over a bowl of wine and said, "Zilong, why do you keep your head buried in your food? You should also respect Ziyu and the others. I'll pour you a big bowl."

"Ah? My lord is here, so I don't have the right to speak." Zhao Yun replied cautiously.

"Don't come here, Lan Ziyu's food is not something you can eat every day. It's not good for you to eat like this. Let's eat food while drinking, so that the water will last forever." Zhang Fei muttered.

Liu Bei was amused by this guy's cute appearance, "Third brother, don't bully Zilong to be honest"

"I didn't wrong him," Zhang Fei said drunkenly.

"General Guan didn't drink much either," Zhao Yun argued.

Zhang Fei turned his head and glanced at Guan Yu, then pursed his mouth and said, "My second brother must have drunk a lot, you can see that his face is flushed from drinking."

Guan Yu:.
Now even Lu Lingqi couldn't hold back anymore, and everyone burst into laughter again, making Zhang Fei scratch his head happily.

Before they went back, Lan Tian called Liu Bei aside, "Brother-in-law has gone to Xiangyang, so you can stop by to visit Mr. Shui Jing."

"Mr. Shui Jing?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"It's Mr. Sima Decao. This man is from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. He is currently living in Xiangyang. I heard that he has extensive knowledge and a good understanding of people. My brother-in-law really wants to find talents, why don't you seek them out from him?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Ziyu has been farming in Dengzhuang, how could he know about the famous people in Xiangyang?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Of course I heard it from the farmer, brother-in-law must remember to look for it." Lan Tian said.

"I'm going to Xiangyang tomorrow." Liu Bei nodded.

At this time, Li Yang had already asked someone to pick a cart of vegetables, and little Deng Fan kept shouting beside him: "Cai Cai. Cai."

When Liu Bei saw this child, he suddenly felt a little sentimental. Although he had married many wives and concubines since he was an adult, he had no heirs because of being displaced.

Seeing this, Guan Yu suggested: "I see that the eldest brother and this child are very sympathetic, why not simply harvest them as moths?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This is Deng Gong's only grandson, how can I bear to take it?"

Although Liu Bei refused verbally, he already had an idea in his heart about adopting his adopted son, and he planned to make a happy event for the two wives.

The next day, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to guard Xinye, and he and Zhao Yun took a team to Xiangyang to deliver food.

Liu Biao heard that Liu Bei was coming to give gifts, so he walked out of the governor's mansion to greet him.

"I was about to go to Xinye to ask for an invitation, but Xuande arrived before I was invited. What a coincidence?" Liu Biao smiled and cupped his hands.

Liu Bei asked in bewilderment: "Your Majesty's complexion is rosy, is there some happy event?"

Liu Biao said with a smile, "Recently there has been good news from Jingnan. The rebel counties have all surrendered. I am going to hold a banquet to celebrate."

"That is really a great joy." Liu Bei congratulated.

"Since Xuande came by coincidence, we must not get drunk today." Liu Biao came over and held his hand and said.

Kuai Yue, who was following Liu Biao, saw a small cart behind Liu Bei covered with a layer of cloth, so he asked suspiciously, "I heard that the envoy came to give gifts, but what is in this cart?"

"Zilong, lift the cover and let Mr. Kuai watch." Liu Bei turned around and ordered.
