Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 784

Although the voice of the scholar is not loud, it reveals the disunity within the scholar's family.

Shi Xie didn't show any anger, he nodded affirmatively and said: "Lantian seems to want to take away our two counties, but in fact Hepu only trades his left hand for his right hand. Since the third brother has no objection, I also mean to give up the two counties. Otherwise, it is not in our interest to provoke the other party."

"Brother, what should I do if Lantian is making progress?" Shi Yi's face was full of worry.

Shi Xie frowned and replied: "At present, we can only hope for external wars. If the Cao and Sun families can join forces to deal with Liu Bei again, Lantian will have no chance to take care of us. It is best for the three families to be severely injured. That kind of result is in our best interest." "

Shi Yi smiled wryly and said, "It's hard to tell the two families of Cao and Liu. How can Sun Quan have this ability? Eldest brother puts his hope on him, which is equivalent to asking Yu Blind. Besides, Dongwu is now going to Huainan to pick trouble, when will he respond to us? Once If Lan Tian strikes ahead of time, the Shi family will have no chance."

"I don't believe that the Sun and Cao families can fight each other. What we can do now is to buy time for Sun Quan. You can go back to Guangzhou and report to General Lan to show that your second and third uncles are willing to be ordered to serve, but they are here after all. Bian has served as the sheriff for many years, and there are a lot of things that need to be handed over, please give us more time." Shi Xie made a plan for delay.

Shi Zhi nodded slightly, "You can save it, but there must be a time limit, right?"

"I think at least half a year." Shi Yi suggested.

"Half a year is indeed too much. You try to get three months, at least two months or more." Shi Xie planned that after two months, the autumn harvest would be over, and all the money and food in the two counties could be transported away, and the two empty counties would be relocated. Handed over to Lantian.

"My boy, try to fight for it." Although Shi Zhi has his heart towards the family, he feels that all this is in vain.

After a while, Shi Xie dismissed the juniors in the hall, and whispered to the two brothers Shi Yi and Shi Xie: "During the handover period, you should move all the money and food from the treasury of each county to Longbian, and the garrisons of the other two counties will also move to Longbian. Take them all away."

"Take them all away? Wouldn't it be safe for the two places?" The scholar hesitated.

"Lan Tian easily obtained the land of the two counties without a single soldier. He should be content." Shi Xie squinted his eyes.

"Jiuzhen doesn't matter, is it the same in Hepu? The new prefect is only a nephew." The scholar continued to remind.

Shi Xie sneered: "Isn't Lantian very powerful? My nephew will ask Guangzhou for help when he is in trouble. In this way, although we have lost land, we have kept money, food, soldiers and horses. As the saying goes, one goes up and down the other. If Sun Quan really sends troops In Jiaozhou, everyone might be able to fight with all their strength and drive that Mr. Xuan Xiao out."

"It's a good plan, but Sun Quan almost missed it." Shi Zhi shook his head.

Shi Xie's face was full of bitterness: "A dead horse should be a living horse doctor. I have to write a letter to Sun Quan again to state how powerful I am. Without the help of the Shi family, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to get involved in Jiaozhou. It can never be washed off."

The scholar nodded and said, "Good."

In late August, Shizhi returned to Guangzhou to report to Lantian, and finally helped the Shijia win two months.

A few days later, Song Chen hurriedly found Lantian and sent Shi Xie's new letter there.

"Sir, the old man is so wicked that he wrote to Sun Quan to beg to send troops. He was obviously delaying the time. Why did you agree to give it two months? Shi Yi and Shi agreed to step down as the prefect, but they are secretly transferring to Long Bian Money, food, soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we will end up with two empty shells." Song Chen frowned.

After hearing this, Lan Tian didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Isn't the reason why the scholar family is kept to deal with Sun Quan? Everything is under my control, and it is good to let Shi Xie influence Sun Quan. Too much information will make the The opponent loses judgment, and people tend to be impulsive when they are irrational. Only when the Huainan battlefield is really fought, can we have a chance to use troops on the western front of Wei State. How can the three counties of Jiaozhi compare with Liangzhou? Scholars like to play procrastination, so let's just plan."

"The general understands." Song Chen clasped his fists and nodded.

"Is there any news about the Huainan battlefield?" Lan Tian asked.

Song Chen replied: "General Guan's letter of support has been sent to Jiangdong, but Sun Quan seems to be still gathering troops in Ruxuwu. Luoyang has also become very calm at the moment. The Sun and Cao families feel that they cannot fight."

"Sun Quan wanted to use war to divert the conflict between Jiangdong and Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was afraid that we would take the opportunity to attack him, so neither of the two families really wanted to start a war. We must find a way to help them." Guan Yu wrote.

Lan Tian stopped writing after writing only two lines, put it in an envelope and handed it to Song Chen, saying: "Send this letter to General Xiangyangguan as soon as possible, and send Shi Xie's letter to Hu Ke to Sun Quan by the same route."

"Wei." Song Chen clasped his fists and left.

The fast boat of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce traveled day and night and arrived in Xiangyang, an important town in northern Jingbei, in early September.

Guan Yu attached great importance to receiving the letter from Lantian, and immediately sent Guan Ping and Liao Hua to lead troops from Xiangyang to cross the Hanshui River to take over the southeast of Nanyang County; he ordered Pang De to send troops from Fancheng to occupy Chaoyang in the north; Send troops to occupy Yinxian and Fengxian counties, and send sentries to Nanxiang and Shunyang counties in the north.

These occupied counties and townships were abandoned by Cao Cao when he withdrew his troops during the Xiangfan War, and the people from all over the place were forcibly moved to the northern Wancheng area, thus becoming a strategic buffer zone with the Jingzhou army.

Guan Yu's goal was Wancheng, Luoyang, and Xuchang, and he did not occupy the empty cities because of Cao Cao's abandonment, but his sudden move made Nanyang and Nanxiang guards Zhang Liao and Xu Huang feel uneasy, and soon the battle report was sent to Zhengnan University General Cao Xiu's office.

Cao Xiu held the battle report to face the saint, and Cao Pi laughed at himself after hearing this: "Sun Quan gathered troops in Huainan, Zhang Fei built a camp for the Northern Expedition in Qishan, and now Guan Yu has sent people to occupy the empty cities of Nanyang and Nanxiang. Wei’s attitude in the decisive battle, but when you think about it carefully, it’s just a posturing, they don’t care if they want to waste money and food, just tell the two generals Zhang and Xu to pay attention to defense, there is no need for everything to be as if the sky is falling.”

"Your Majesty, Guan Yu once threatened to help Sun Quan. He started to act in Jingzhou. Maybe Sun Quan would have the courage to use his troops because of this. The general suggested that since the danger is always there, it is better to concentrate on fighting back." Cao Xiu continued to speak.

Cao Pi stroked his beard and nodded, "These two years of recuperation is also the time to let Sun Liu know how powerful we are. I know that the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wu are incompetent, so the Huainan battlefield is nothing to be afraid of. You think you should deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Who used force?"

Cao Xiu clasped his fists and replied: "Wudu where Zhang Fei is located is also an empty shell. At present, Zidan guarding Liangzhou can be safe, and Guan Yu's troops in Xiangyang are the most threatening. I suggest that you concentrate your superior forces to fight against him."

"Xiangyang and Fancheng have been rejected by Guan Yu. Even if the soldiers are willing to fight the enemy bravely, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the Jingzhou Army." Cao Pi shook his head.

Cao Xiu was embarrassed when he heard it, and wiped out Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army?Are you talking in your sleep?
