Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 698
"Kelp can also be transported to Wudu in autumn. Remember my previous explanation when Yide entered Liangzhou to harass you." Lan Tian followed up.

Zhang Fei nodded and replied, "I've always remembered that disturbing the officials is not disturbing the people. Sooner or later, they will be the elder brother's subjects."

"Yide, after drinking brother's glass of wine, let's set off immediately. Remember to drink less during the march, otherwise it will be very easy to miss things." Liu Bei picked up a glass of wine and handed it over.

Zhang Fei took it and drank it down, patted his chest with a smile and said: "Hey, although Zhang Zhongjing is gone, the hangover pills he left behind are still there. If he had made this thing earlier, I wouldn't be drunk Lost Xuzhou, big brother, Ziyu, I'm leaving."

"Take care all the way." Liu Bei's tone trembled.

Lan Tian was about to say a word of blessing, but Zhang Fei turned and left without turning his head, leaving a black figure behind them.

This is not the first time Liu Bei and Zhang Fei parted ways. Zhang Fei looks healthy and free from illness. Although Liangzhou has Cao Zhen in charge, he may not be Zhang Fei's opponent now. I really don't know why he was so sentimental just now, especially Zhang Fei mentioned When it came to Zhang Zhongjing, there was a clear dodge in Liu Bei's eyes.

Although Lan Tian didn't change his face, he secretly felt that Liu Bei was really abnormal.

"Kongming asked us to recuperate. When the time comes, let the second brother send troops from Jingzhou, and then lead the army out of Qinchuan to take Yongliang. Ziyu originally agreed with Longzhong's grand strategy, but why did Yide go to attack Liangzhou? Will it happen? Attracting Cao Pi's heavy troops? The north and south of the Qinling Mountains are originally difficult to travel, and it is not easy to go north to Hanzhong." Liu Bei put away his sentimentality and questioned Lantian.

Lan Tian replied without thinking: "Although we are resting and recuperating, Cao Pi is also resting and recuperating. You must know that Wei has the land of the Central Plains and Kyushu, and there is little chance of winning by simply supplying supplies. Therefore, letting Yide stir up the situation in the northwest can consume the state of Wei. , Cao Pi hastily usurped the Han soon after he took the throne, and now it is the time when his foothold is not stable, once troops are transferred from the Central Plains to Yongliang for reinforcements, the food and grass corvee in various places will continue."

"Ziyu intentionally kept Wei from resting and recuperating? Yide sent troops from Qishan Road to harass Liangzhou. It was a long-distance attack and the effect was not great. Wei Jun insisted on waiting for work, and I am afraid that the effect of exhaustion would not be achieved." Liu Bei frowned and shook his head.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said: "That depends on Yide's ability. Before taking the Central Plains, Liangzhou must be taken. Only when you have your own horse farm can you assemble the cavalry. After the prime minister makes the compressed army rations, the long-distance raids will be guaranteed. We I think Yide must give Cao Pi a headache."

"As Ziyu said, if Cao Pi really dispatched the Central Plains army to help Liangzhou, he only needs to stick to the fields to resolve it, and Yide's own strength may not be so effective." Liu Bei still had a sad face.

Lan Tian then asked someone to fetch a map of Hanzhong. He pointed to the roads between Qinling and Hanzhong, and offered advice to Liu Bei: "In addition to the Qishan Road in the west, there are also Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, and Ziwu Valley in the north. Xiaodao, after the prime minister's compressed military rations are delivered to the front line, my brother-in-law can order General Wenchang (Wei Yan) to send scouts to Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road, let Yide send scouts to Chencang Road as suspicious soldiers, and then send people to Guanzhong to spread rumors, They said they plan to open another one at the Tangshui between Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road."

"Open another one? Ziyu wants to confuse Cao Zhen and Cao Pi?" Liu Bei asked.

Lan Tian nodded and replied: "There are no flowers on the tree, so we decorate them with fake flowers. This is a plan to bloom on the tree. We have to create a momentum to go north to Qinchuan. Cao Zhen must send troops to garrison the five roads leading to Yongliang." , This will not only disperse the strength of the Wei army, but also increase its supply consumption, and the pressure on Yide will be much less."

"Blooming on the hissing tree." Liu Bei paced back and forth thinking.

"This is just my rough idea. My brother-in-law can call a few military advisers to discuss again. Maybe it can be improved on this basis. In short, we need to use less consumption to cause greater consumption in Wei, and not give them equal rest and recuperation. Opportunity." Lan Tian said in a deep voice.

Liu Bei nodded, "That makes sense, I summoned Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, and Xiao Zhi when I turned around."

"If it really puts pressure on Wei's west front, and Yun Chang is asked to send troops from Jingzhou to cooperate with the feint, let's see how Cao Pi responds." Lan Tian added.

"Very good. Cao Pi sits in the northern Kyushu. How many states can we contain? The territory Cao Cao left for Cao Pi is too wide. It is really difficult to hurt the opponent's vitality." Liu Bei frowned.

"Cao Pi is rebellious and will be condemned by heaven. According to the analysis of the information obtained, the north is very likely to experience a severe drought this year. The drought will be accompanied by locust plagues and epidemic diseases. God is protecting us and Han Zuo." Lan Tian has a plan in mind.

"Is this true?" Liu Bei was ecstatic when he heard that, he rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, and added in a murmur, "Ziyu is proficient in agriculture and is also familiar with the weather. It seems that Cao Pi didn't have such a good life."

"Brother-in-law, don't get too excited. According to my years of farming experience, there may be severe drought in the north and floods in the south. I have made arrangements for Jingnan and Jiaozhou. There are many plains and big rivers in Jingbei, but Yizhou has more. There are high mountains and valleys, so the prefects of all armies should pay attention, and it is best to let the people move out of dangerous places and centralize management." Lan Tian reminded solemnly.

"Ziyu reminded you in time, and I will let the prime minister arrange it in the afternoon." Liu Beizheng nodded, and suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Wan'er is a new wife, so I need my younger siblings to teach me patiently. Will she serve tea to you and younger siblings this morning?" ?”

Lan Tian nodded and replied: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I watched Wan'er grow up, she is a good girl who is polite and sensible, but she wants to return to Jiaozhou with Boyang, will you and sister be reluctant?"

"Wan'er marrying into the Lan family and getting closer is the Queen's wish for many years. Even if she doesn't want to give up, she will feel at ease." Liu Bei smiled kindly.

"I can rest assured that."

"By the way, the queen still mentioned you this morning, so I will take you to meet her."

Liu Bei couldn't help but dragged Lan Tian to Xiaying Palace.

It was a little strange for Lan Tian to see Gan Qian, because she looked much worse than yesterday. Although she was a little sad when she just married her daughter, the relationship between Lan Tian and her should not be like that of outsiders.

After the siblings exchanged a few words, Gan Qian suddenly asked: "I heard from Boyang that the kelp that Ziyu cultivated in Jieyang can be harvested in May?"

"Probably at that time, when I send some to Chengdu, sister can try it and see how the artificially cultivated kelp differs from wild kelp." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

"Ziyu's agricultural knowledge is unparalleled in the world. The kelp you cultivate must be fine. With your help in Xuande, why worry about the big things? Sister remembers that you said in Xinye that you want to plant thousands of miles of land for Xuande?" Gan Qian said with a smile on her face. Smile.

"I did say this. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and the world can be dug out with a hoe." Lan Tian remembered that he told Lu Lingqi, thinking that his wife should have told Gan Qian.

"Okay, Brother Tian has been cultivating and improving grain seeds. Everywhere he goes, he promotes planting techniques, builds water conservancy, and builds granaries. You have always kept your promise. Will you guide the kelp harvest in Jieyang?"

Gan Qian suddenly changed the subject, which made Lan Tian feel a little alert, thinking what does Sister mean by her?It seems to be driving me away?

"Eh, it's not necessarily true. I left dozens of agricultural researchers in Jieyang, and I taught them all the methods of harvesting kelp."
