Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 627
"Hahaha, General Sun thought we used Lu Meng's name?" Lan Tian laughed.

"Otherwise?" Sun Quan asked ignorantly.

Lan Tian continued to answer: "Before we captured Xiangyang, the prefect Lu Chang was captured by General Guan. This man is Cao Cao's favorite general. It is not too much to exchange him for a small city of Cao Cao."

"What is the relationship between Lu Meng and Lu Chang?" Sun Quan was listening to the scriptures.

"You don't remember the dark redemption so soon?" Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

Sun Quan suddenly realized, "You mean to replace Lu Chang with Lu Meng?"

"Lv Chang was tenacious in resisting before, how could he return him to Cao Cao? So Cao Cao used Fancheng to 'random' Lu Meng," Lan Tian explained.

Sun Quan scolded shamelessly in his heart, I am afraid that no one in the world is more sinister than you, and you must be the one who advises Guan Yu. "By the way, what about Lu Chang?"

Lan Tian said nonchalantly: "The flag was cut off by General Guan, and the head was sent to the front of Cao's army. I remember that General Guan won the battle that day."

Guan Yu's beheading of Lu Chang in front of the battle will inevitably arouse Cao Cao's anger, resulting in improper command and a big defeat. Sun Quan thought that this red-faced man is proficient in the art of war. If he sits in Jingzhou for a day, Jiangdong may no longer be able to completely occupy the Yangtze River.

After explaining Lu Meng's matter clearly, the delivery by Jiangbian was nearing completion, and Zhu Ran and all the soldiers were in place, so Zhang Zhao rushed over to urge Sun Quan to board the ship.

"A while ago, I fell for Cao's treacherous tricks. I mistakenly launched a war against Jingzhou and caused both the Sun and Liu families to lose. Now that the big mistake has been made, Jiangdong has also paid a huge price. I hope that the King of Hanzhong will ignore the past and let our two families reunite. Let’s get back together and attack the national traitor Cao Cao together.” Sun Quan bowed his hands to Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei raised his hand in return: "Zhongmou, you have to take care of yourself, even if you really won Jingzhou, but you have to face the attacks of Nanyang and Huainan at the same time, it may not be a good thing, it is to share the pressure for you. Let’s all recuperate and fight Cao Cao together.”

"Sun Quan has been taught, so I will leave."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he turned and boarded the boat, and Liu Bei and Lan Tian also walked towards E County.

What Lan Tian said just now had already made Zhou Tai dizzy. After boarding the boat, he couldn't help asking: "Then what Lan Tian said must be false, right? How could Cao Ren and Cao Cao be so stupid?"

Sun Quan shook his head lightly, "I don't know if it's true or not, it's hard to say anyway."

Zhang Zhao followed up and said, "The veteran thinks it's true, and only Lan Tian likes to play these tricks. Even the lord and Ziyu have been deceived, so Cao Ren and Cao Cao will be fooled even more."

The warship was fully loaded with the last batch of captives and headed for Chaisang. Sun Quan was taken aback by Zhang Zhao's ingenious compliment. He stood on the deck and sighed: "The black owl has a lot of tricks and is very difficult to deal with. I was worried that Ziming Occupying Jingzhou means facing a three-sided attack from Cao Cao in the north, Liu Bei in Yizhou in the west, and Lantian in Jiaozhou in the south. It requires a lot of troops to garrison and defend, and a lot of money and food to support them. Now... alas.”

Zhang Zhao quickly comforted: "As the lord said, occupying Jingzhou may not be beneficial. Liu Bei's words also have some truth. We only need to guard Chaisang and Ruxu, recuperate with the people, eliminate the rebellion in Shanyue, train troops and armor, and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to fight. When the head is broken and bloody, if you attack it with Jiangdong soldiers, you will be able to expand the territory of Jiangdong, let alone occupying the entire Yangtze River, even if you enter the Central Plains, you will not know."

"Okay." Sun Quan nodded excitedly, then looked at Zhou Tai and ordered: "After Chaisang's funeral is over, You Ping will go to supervise Ruxu."

"Wei." Zhou Tai cupped his fists.

"As for General Chaisang." Sun Quan looked around the crowd, feeling that no one was suitable.

"Lu Boyan is courageous and resourceful, and he can retreat from Jingzhou. I think the new governor, who else is there?" Gu Yong made a suggestion.

The Jiangdong gentry had never fought for military power, and Sun Quan had been guarding this red line since he came to power. The Huaisi generals on board looked at each other, thinking that Gu Yong was crazy, right?Isn't this move afraid of the lord's suspicion?Lu Xun has a big enmity with the lord.

Everyone thought that Sun Quan would refuse, but he smiled at Gu Yong and replied kindly: "I will seriously consider Yuan Tan's proposal when I go back, and I will have a conclusion at the end of the funeral at the latest."

"My lord is wise."

Gu Yong bowed his hands to salute Sun Quan, looked at the stupid expressions of the generals, and secretly mocked these incomprehensible internal reasons, the Jiangdong gentry paid for it, so they should receive such attention.

Watching the Jiangdong warships sailing down the Yangtze River, Liu Bei was full of doubts, frowned and asked Lantian: "Ziyu, the terrain of E County is not dangerous, and there is still a long distance from Xiakou, why did you take it from Sun Quan?" ? Now it is empty and desolate, and will always be threatened by Chaisang.”

Lan Tian looked into the distance and replied: "The location of Xiakou is important mainly because it connects the Hanshui River and the Yangtze River. The Sun and Cao families have the opportunity to link up and form a danger of encircling Jingzhou. Now Yunchang has captured Xiangyang and Fancheng. The Yangtze River and the Han River have become our inland rivers, so it is natural to push forward the Jiangxia defense line and set up two defense lines in E County and Xiakou, which completely cut off Sun Quan's desire to go west, and he can only go to Huainan to fight Hefei."

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively, "Ziyu is really a good idea. Isn't this a different kind of situation? The relationship between E County and Jiangxia is a bit like the relationship between Xiangyang and Fancheng."

"That's what it means." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"E County's county seat and wharf are too small. If it wants to become an important military town, it must be expanded, but it will cost people and money." Liu Bei's face was full of solemnity.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Yuan Zhi brought over [-] captives to Changsha, just to bring them over to build the city, and the remaining Jiangdong captives will be sent to Changsha to farm." Lan Tian gave advice.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard it: "Ziyu's brain is still bright, so I will change E County to Wuchang and expand according to Jiangxia's standards. You have experience in building Guangzhou City. How about entrusting Wuchang City to your supervision? It can also prevent Jiangdong rats from getting sick." .”

"The reform of the counties of Jiaozhou has not been completed, and the three counties of Jiaozhi, Hepu, and Jiuzhen have not been completely subdued. The anti-king of Rinan County has arrested my businessman. I still have to go back and stabilize my development. If I can give me 30 years, I will It will turn Jiaozhou into a paradise of wealth." Lan Tian replied solemnly.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Well, Ziyu has been planning Jiaozhou for a long time. Since you are confident about your own reforms, Bei will try his best to give you freedom, but Jingzhou can't ignore it."

"Thank you brother-in-law for your trust. Don't worry about Jingzhou. Jiaozhou will continue to transport food and armaments to Xiangyang, so that General Guan will not have to worry about the Northern Expedition." Lan Tian promised, patted his chest.

"I firmly believe in this point, and who does Ziyu think can supervise the construction of Wuchang City?" Liu Bei asked.

Lan Tian commanded Gan Ning, who greeted Chen Dao from the rear, "Gan Xingba is the lord and mighty general. If he leads the navy to guard Wuchang, Sun Quan must not dare to covet Jingzhou."

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively: "Heroes see the same thing."
