Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 586

The Lantian fast horse went up to meet him, probably because the war was too exhausting, and Guan Yu's temples and beard were covered with snow.

Years are the most ruthless, planting autumn frost on people's heads, Guan Yu is a little older than the last time I saw him.

Guan Yu landed on the saddle with his palms on his hands, and his two iron-like hands shook Lan Tian's hand tightly. Although the two of them did not have an alliance in Taoyuan, the friendship in their hearts was still strong.

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou and Lantian Mu to guard Jiaozhou. Outsiders couldn't understand the heavy burden. Only the two important officials knew what was on their shoulders.

This time the Jiangdong Four Routes attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu knew that it would be difficult to break the situation on his own. Even though Gan Ning defeated Jiang Qin in Hanshui, he was trained and recommended by Lantian, let alone the other three routes.

The two shook hands and looked at each other silently, and finally Lan Tian broke the deadlock, "Yun Chang, don't come here without any problems."

"Ziyu, you still haven't changed much." Guan Yu let go and patted Lan Tian's shoulder lightly, as if he hadn't seen a close comrade in arms for many years.

Lan Tian grinned, "Hehe, this is not as good as Yun Chang."

What Guan Yu said was that Lantian had a beard under his chin. After growing the beard, he kept the length of holding it with one hand all the year round. In ancient times, roughness was regarded as beauty, and thick hair symbolized the strength of men. Big plus.

As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well. In order to establish a stable image for outsiders, Lan Tian deliberately grew some beards for 'work use', but he has the habit of trimming and controlling the length every day.

Guan Yu exchanged a few words with Lan Tian, ​​and then walked to the river under Guan Ping's guidance, and saw Zhou Cang walking towards the bound Lu Meng.

The Jushui in November was icy cold, and Lu Meng soaked in the river for a long time. After being captured by Zhou Cang, his whole body was drenched and trembling, his messy hair half covered his face, giving people the feeling of a criminal being escorted to the execution ground.

"Everyone, you have today too?" Guan Yu looked at Lu Meng and sneered.

From the moment Lu Meng was captured in the water, his eyes completely lost their luster. Facing Guan Yu's ridicule, he was expressionless, disdainful and powerless to refute, let alone kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Ziyu, I heard that this person is the mastermind of the surprise attack on Jingzhou, what do you think should be done?" Seeing that Lu Meng didn't respond, Guan Yu turned his head and asked Lan Tian.

Lan Tian frowned: "If you don't punish the chief culprit, it will be difficult to shock Xiaoxiao."

"Ziyu's words are very close to my heart." Guan Yu nodded in admiration, and then told Zhou Cang: "Take this person into custody first, and I will still be of great use in a few days. You have to take care of it yourself."

"Wei." Zhou Cang cupped his fists.

After Guan Yu gave his orders, he pulled Lan Tian forward. At this time, night was approaching in Jiangxia, and several soldiers and horses were about to rest in Linju County to rest.

The moment Lan Tian walked past Lu Meng's eyes, his already dull pupils suddenly lit up, and Lu Meng shouted like crazy: "Lan Tian, ​​you despicable traitor, why are you targeting me? Why are you targeting Jiangdong?"

After being captured, Lu Meng's mind was empty. Although he looked stupid on the outside, he actually closed his mind. He was immersed in his own world, reviewing the experiences of these years alone.

At that moment just now, Lu Meng thought everything through. Starting from Chibi, everything he did was against Jiangdong. He participated in the battle for Jiaozhou, the sneak attack in Changsha, and the sneak attack on Jiangling. Every time it was a bad thing In the hands of Lan Tian, ​​Lu Meng believes that all this is by no means accidental.

Lan Tian stopped in surprise, and then replied lightly: "Everyone is their own master, don't you think it's unnecessary to ask?"

"But why do you win every time? I study so hard, I can't accept it." Lu Meng gritted his teeth.

Lan Tian shook his head and did not reply, thinking that you are not that Nanman Meng Huo, and if you refuse to accept me, I will not let you go back. Seeing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but angrily scolded: "How many books have you read? Ziyu's talent in the world is also true. Can you compare with me? Do you understand what it means to be overestimated?"

"Since Meng was born, how can Tian be born?" Lu Meng ignored Guan Yu at all, and sighed to the sky on his own.

Guan Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said to himself that I have never seen such a brazen person, could this guy be crazy?

"Ziyu, let's go, Lu Mengpifu is already insane."

"Uh ok"

Lan Tian felt very speechless, and said to himself that I am not Kong Ming, and you are not Zhou Gongjin, so there is no need to bring up this script, right?

"Since Shengmeng, He Shengtian" When Lan Tian walked over, Lu Meng was still looping like a repeater.

Huh?Why is there only two fingers left on this guy's left hand that is tied behind his back?
"Ziyu?" Seeing that Lan Tian stopped suddenly, Guan Yu did not remind him with doubts.

The moment Lan Tian turned around, he left a sentence for Lu Meng: "Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region; those who don't plan for eternity are not enough to plan for a moment."

After hearing this, Lu Meng's body suddenly stiffened. Lan Tian's two simple sentences just now revealed the reason why he must win every battle. He remembered that after reading a few books, he once showed off in front of Lu Su.

Thinking of the gap between him and Lan Tian, ​​it was too much for him to line up with him.

After cleaning the battlefield, the army went to Linju to rest. The magistrate of Linju took the county officials out of the city, welcomed Guan Yu, Lantian and other generals into the county to settle down, and prepared a simple celebration banquet in a hurry.

Guan Yu did his part to sit in the main seat, and Lan Tian took the second seat, followed by Gao Shun, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Chu Qing and other generals accompanying the army.

"Ziyu, Guan must respect you very much." Guan Yu raised his glass as a signal.

Lan Tian responded with a smile: "It is worthy of congratulations to just win a big victory. I will have a good time with Yun Chang. It's just that I was in a hurry on the river beach just now and didn't ask in detail how to capture Xiangyang. Why don't you take this opportunity to talk about it?"

Guan Yu wrapped his beard with his left hand, raised his head and poured the wine in the glass into his throat, and then asked thoughtfully, "Isn't it Ziyu's conspiracy? Why are you asking me the other way around now?"

Lan Tian scratched his head, thinking to himself when did I set up a conspiracy?

"Ziyu is still pretending to be profound. If you don't believe me if I have the evidence, you won't admit it." Seeing this, Lan Tian was at a loss, and then he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over. Tell your uncle how we planned to seize Xiangyang."

"Yes, father." After Guan Ping answered with his fists clasped, he saluted Lan Tian again, "Uncle, the battle in Fancheng was fierce at that time, and my father saw that Cao Ren was defending tenaciously, and later the grain road on the Han River was blocked, so he sent people to various places to mobilize troops. , Grain collection."

Guan Yu sent envoys to various places to mobilize troops, one of which was to go to Shangyong to find Liu Feng and Meng Da, but Guan Yu's envoys had not yet set off. Eight thousand soldiers led by Meng Da rushed to Fancheng and presented the letter in Lan Tian's hand at this time .

The letter was written by Fazheng in the name of Lantian. In the letter, he suggested that Guan Yu use the rebel generals Hu Xiu and Fu Fang to help Meng Da make money in Xiangyang and seize the city in the name of sending food.

The Han River was full of warships from Jingzhou, and Xiangyang City was besieged by the governor Zhao Lei for several months, completely cutting off news from the north. Finally, the whole picture can be glimpsed on the water.

At this time, Zhao Lei's Jingzhou army was defeated by an unknown army. Then Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the prefect of Nanxiang, appeared at the city of Xiangyang. The news that Guan Yu's military morale has been disturbed.

When Lu Chang, the prefect of Xiangyang, saw the "self" and "good news", he did not doubt that he was there, so he ordered people to open the gate of Xiangyang.
