Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 587

Lan Tian held the letter paper and said with a leisurely smile: "This is Fa Xiaozhi's plan. I only put forward a plan at the time, and the specific plan is all due to him. Yun Chang can't take the credit for me."

Although Fazheng is deeply loved by Liu Bei, he has not yet entered Guan Yu's eyes.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, and soon understood Fazheng's idea. Using the name of Lantian to offer a strategy can make Meng Da quickly gain trust, which is not without good intentions.

"Ziyu, don't be modest. Without you planting the tree first, the French army division would not be able to get the fruits so quickly. But since you all have contributed, Guan will also truthfully ask the eldest brother for the credit." Guan Yu replied meaningfully.

"Then what's going on in Fancheng now?" Lan Tian asked.

Guan Yu said solemnly: "The bad news from the rear has been constant before, and the morale of the army has been affected. Because Xudu is not far from Fancheng, Cao Cao has sent troops to rescue Fancheng. I even heard that Cao Cao sent soldiers from Huainan. I judged that Bi Yan It is true that Er'er attacked Jiangling, and thanks to Ziyu's plan, I will not be at a loss."

"Sun Quan sent Jiang Qin to fortify and block the Hanshui River. It seems that the original plan was to target Yun Chang. How about the food and grass on the front line during this period?" Lan Tian asked.

"God's will is undeniable. First, Hu Xiu and Fu Fang turned against each other and brought a lot of food from Nanxiang County. Later, Mencius Du (Meng Da) wrote a letter and adjusted it in Shangyong. This stabilized the soldiers on the front line. No mutiny."

From Guan Yu's frowning brows, Lan Tian knew how dangerous the situation in Fancheng was at that time. He was glad that in order to 'continue his life' for Fazheng, Meng Da sent troops to help him.

"In this way, Sun Quan sent troops in three ways this time. The first way was Jiang Qin to block the Han River and grain road, the second way was Lu Xun Dongting to block me, and the third way was to let Lu Meng attack Jingzhou, the public security," Lan Tian said to himself.

Guan Yu waved his hands when he heard that, "Actually, Bi Yan'er also arranged for a group of troops. Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran led the army to station at Xianshan Mountain next to Xiangyang. They sent envoys as 'allies' to Xiangyang to find the prefect Lu Chang to inquire about the news. I want to cut off our army's land route back to Jiangling."

Guan Ping added: "At that time, my father was going to plan. He first sent Hu Inspector to pretend to approach him, then secretly withdrew his main force to the south bank of the Han River, and finally defeated Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran at Xianshan, so he chased him all the way to Linju."

Lan Tian sighed meaningfully: "No wonder we meet here. Linju is really a strange place. Have Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran been captured?"

"After the battle at Mount Xian, Pan Zhang crossed Jingshan Mountain on a small road, while Zhu Ran fled to the south road alone. I secretly felt that I should chase Pan Zhang, so I asked Liao Yuanjian to go after Zhu Ran on the road. Ping'er beheaded, but I don't know if Zhu Ran will escape." Guan Yu frowned.

Lan Tian showed a surprised expression. He felt that the coincidence in the world is really wonderful. Zhu Ran and Sun Jiao who went to the north should meet each other. I don't know if Liao Hua can seize the opportunity.

"Xiangyang and Fancheng face each other across the Han River, and they are each other's horns. Now that General Guan occupies Xiangyang, a strategically important place, how can the Cao thief who is in Xudu be willing to let go? Yun Chang mobilized the main force to pursue Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, and Zidu ( (Meng Da) General, can he hold it?" Lan Tian looked worried.

Guan Yu shook his head and acted disapprovingly, "Ziyu can rest assured, the navy in Xiangfan has been defeated by me long ago, and it is difficult for Cao Ren to find a few decent ships, let alone cross the Han River to regain Xiangyang. Don't forget Gan Xing Ba is still patrolling the Hanshui River. Although he fought too fiercely with Jiang Qin before, it is better than Wenpin who has nothing left. Now he has captured many warships in Jushui, which can be sent to Xiangyang Go into battle."

"What General Guan said is true." Su Fei and Li Yi nodded in agreement frequently.

Su Fei and Li Yi originally wanted to take advantage of the overall victory and make some contributions with the naval forces of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but unfortunately, both Sun Jiao and Lu Meng chose to run away, and captured hundreds of boats after going around a lot.

All the generals in the hall followed Guan Yu's words and applauded, but Lan Tian fell into deep thought while holding his beard with one hand.

"Ziyu, do you have other ideas?" Guan Yu asked after seeing this.

Lan Tian nodded and replied: "With the limited navy in Jingzhou, I think it should be arranged in the most suitable position. In the end, the Xiangfan battlefield will not be dominated by water warfare. Instead, Sun Quan in Jiangdong must guard against it."

"Bi Yan'er suffered such a disastrous defeat, how dare he come to stroke the tiger's beard?" Guan Yu frowned into a word of Chuan.

"Sun Quan divided his troops into four groups to take Jingzhou, almost three of them were completely wiped out, but Lu Xun's group was almost saved. In addition to Jiang Xia's withdrawal of troops, in fact, they really have the ability to invade by water. If there is no navy near Jiangxia Warships in Jiangdong can still come in and out freely, and the disturbance of waterways and grain roads is enough for us." Lan Tian explained in detail.

Guan Yu gasped, and asked emotionally, "Ziyu is the most thoughtful, what's your opinion now?"

Lan Tian asked someone to fetch a battle map, pointed to Jiang Xia's location and said, "Now the Jingzhou navy can gather almost [-] people, and the captured warships should be able to defend Jiang Xia, but they will not be able to attack Jiang Dong, so I suggest Transfer the navy to Jiangxia as soon as possible, and negotiate with Sun Quan in a victorious posture. Only by stabilizing Sun Quan can we deal with Cao Cao with all our strength, and now we are not capable of fighting against both of them at the same time."

"What is there to talk about with Sun Quan? After this battle, everyone will die." Guan Yu's phoenix eyes were bluffed, revealing a strong killing intent.

Lan Tian clasped his fists to persuade: "Political games are like this, and personal preferences cannot be the goal. At this time, fighting on both sides will only get deeper and deeper, and our land of three states can't afford to consume it."

"Ziyu's judgment is definitely not wrong, tell me how Jiang Xia should set up defenses?"

Guan Yu trusted Lan Tian very much. Even though he was extremely unhappy with Sun Quan at this time, he was still willing to listen to Lan Tian's opinion.

"Su Dudu is very familiar with the surrounding areas of Xiakou. You can rush to Jiangxia to garrison tomorrow morning. The French army division is staying there now. It will be no problem to ask him for advice on everything." Lan Tian finished speaking to Su Fei, and looked at the corner again. Li Yi in the movie, "When General Li completes the task of transporting troops, I will also send him to help."

All the members of the entrapment army carry heavy armor. Marching by land is not only exhausting, but also very troublesome to transport supplies. Now Lantian would rather detour from Jushui to the Yangtze River, Yangshui, and Hanshui, and walk hundreds of miles rather than cross mountains and ridges to rush to Xiangyang. .

"Uh..." Su Fei was restrained by Guan Yu, and when Lan Tian made a suggestion, he couldn't help but look at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded solemnly, "Immediately follow Ziyu's request."

"Wei." Su Fei stood up and cupped his fists, speaking forcefully.

Lan Tian continued to instruct: "There are a lot of soldiers and horses deployed in the east of the Yangtze River. After Sun Quan recovers, he will definitely go to meet them by water. After Su Dudu arrives in Jiangxia, he can take the initiative to send someone to report the battle situation and ask Sun Quan to prepare money and food to redeem people."

"Redemption? Ziyu, are you going to let Lu Meng go?" Guan Yu was surprised when he heard that.
