Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 840 Fifteen moons and sixteen circles

Lai Gong was overjoyed to see Lan Tian, ​​he smiled and saluted with fists in his hands, "Fortunately I was hungry and went ashore to look for food, otherwise I would have missed my husband, and I might have gone to Guangzhou."

When Liu Bei sent troops to take Guanzhong, all civil servants who were not in charge of troops stayed in Chengdu, so Lan Tian was very surprised to see Lai Gong. He thought a lot at the moment of meeting, and suddenly remembered the Nanman rebellion this year.

In history, the death of Liu Bei in Baidi City triggered the Nanban rebellion. Now Liu Bei is not only alive and well, but also returned to Guanzhong, so I don't understand why Lai Gong came to him.

"Is something important happening in Chengdu?" Lan Tian saw that Lai Gong was full of joy, as if something bad happened.

"Chengdu? Nothing happened in Chengdu. I came from Chang'an." Lai Gong stroked his beard and smiled.

Lan Tian looked at the other party suspiciously, frowned and asked, "When did you go to Chang'an? Detour to Hanzhong from Baoxie, and then come to Jiaozhou by boat to find me? Deshun has gone so tortuously, what's the matter?"

Lai Gong was a little surprised: "Sir, you don't even know? In June, when there was heavy rain around Luoyang, General Guan and Cao Xiu stopped fighting and rested. Your Majesty transferred General Yide from Tianshui back to Chang'an, and raided Shangluo, Shang County and Wuguan.

When the rain stopped at the beginning of July, General Zhang and General Guan attacked again and again, driving Wei Jun out of Nanxiang County. Now that Guanzhong and Jingzhou have been connected, I went south from Wuguan this time. "

After hearing this, Lan Tian suddenly realized that the Jingzhou army was resting in June, and Song Chen should focus on Soochow, so he didn't pay attention to the major events in Nanxiang.

Shangluo, Shangxian, and Wuguan are in the Qinling Mountains. They are the only passages directly from Guanzhong to Jingzhou. The surrounding terrain is difficult and it is very difficult to march and transport food.

After Liu Bei occupied Chang'an, his troops were limited. He needed heavy troops to prevent Cao Zhen from going south, and to block Zhu Ling's westward advance from Tongguan. Therefore, there was no extra troops to capture Wuguan. Lan Tian appreciated this troop transfer very much.

"Who offered this clever plan?"

"It's Army Division Pang."

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively. He guessed that it was either Pang Tong or Fa Zheng. The two masterminds had made considerable contributions in the battle against Yongliang.

"Yide's army was originally restrained, and the number was only about [-]. After Tianshui was beaten, they should still be injured. He sent troops to Chang'an to help. Aren't you worried that Longyou Zhangji will make a comeback?" Lan Tian was puzzled.

Lai Gong explained with a smile: "With Jiang Boyue's help at that time, there were not many soldiers lost, but soldiers need to be garrisoned in various places in Tianshui. It is not enough to attack Longyou with a small number of soldiers, so after taking down Tianshui, we have to rest and recuperate, so Pang Junshi proposed this suggestion to the king."

"After Yide led the army to leave, who will be in charge of the Tianshui garrison?" Lan Tian hurriedly asked, he was worried that if Ma Chao returned to his own territory, if he had any ambitions, the good situation would be ruined again.

Lai Gong replied: "Military division Pang temporarily took over the military power."

"Did General Ma and Yide go back to Chang'an together?" Lan Tian asked again.

Lai Gong shook his head: "General Mengqi used his influence to get in touch with the Qiangdihu people in Longyou. When General Yide returns to Tianshui, the king slows down and restrains Cao Zhen. It is time to completely seize Liangzhou."

Lan Tian stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. Ma Chao had experienced the misfortune of the first half of his life. It seemed that he had become more rational after entering Shu, and he should not have any acts of disobedience. After all, the situation in the world is not as good as before. Even the rebellion couldn't stop the elite soldiers and generals in Guanzhong.

"Don't be arrogant or impetuous, you really live up to the name of Fengchu." Lan Tian finished sighing, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask why he came, so he said: "Shouldn't Deshun be in Chengdu? When did you go to Chang'an?"

Lai Gong smiled and replied: "I set off from Chengdu in April. Didn't you suggest that the king should take Guanzhong and proclaim himself emperor? Prime Minister Zhuge and the courtiers wrote a memorial and ordered me to go to Chang'an and send it to the king. He suggested that he ascend the throne as soon as possible and continue the Han dynasty." Zuo, this will not only boost the morale of the army, but also give sustenance to the Han people in the world."

"Well, Guanzhong is relatively stable now, and Nanxiang is under the control of General Guan. It is indeed a good time to become emperor. As Taichang, you should be busy with preparations. How can you come to Jiaozhou to see me?" Lan Tian was very puzzled.

"The etiquette for enthroning and proclaiming the emperor is cumbersome. There is no shortage of preparations around the king. He specially sent me to see the sir. He just wanted to say that the world is still uncertain. With your meritorious deeds, you could have entered the court and ranked among the three princes. You can only feel wronged and continue to guard the south." Lai Gong cupped his fists to explain.

"That's it? It's fine for the king to send envoys. Why do Deshun travel all the way? In addition, all the civil and military ministers in the court have a share of the credit for the world. Don't reward me too much. The position of the three princes must be given up. With others." Lan Tian quickly refused.

"Ah, sir, you should do your part." Seeing Lan Tian's determination, Lai Gong said it was a pity.

"Deshun, please bring the words to me. Your Majesty knows that I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, so I should be able to understand." Lan Tian clasped his fists and saluted.

Lai Gong hurriedly returned the gift, "Sir, you have a high moral character, how dare the last general refuse to follow? Besides, is there a war on your side? I smelled the smell of war when I entered Linxiang."

"Deshun really has a good sense. I wonder when the enthronement ceremony is scheduled?" Lan Tian joked with a smile.

"August sixteenth."

"What a day."

Lan Tian nodded thoughtfully, and said to himself that the moon on the fifteenth day was sixteen round, although Emperor Zhao Lie was two years late, it was like the moon on the sixteenth day of the eighth month, the right time is just right.

"That's right, Mr. is proficient in astronomy and astrology, so he should also count auspicious days and times. This is the day I asked Tai Bu (official name, Tai Chang to be an official) to choose." Lai Gong felt a little praised.

"Deshun just asked me if there was a war. In fact, the battle to destroy Wu has already begun. I will soon present Yangzhou as a gift and congratulate His Majesty on inheriting the Han Family Ancestral Temple."

Lan Tian's tone was extremely solemn, Lai Gong's eyes continued to widen after hearing this, as if he didn't believe his ears.

"Are you talking about destroying Wu just now? You didn't joke, did you?"

"I look like I'm joking? Sun Quan is swaying from side to side. He is afraid that we will continue to grow stronger, so he made peace with Cao Pi in Huainan first, and after gathering heavy troops in Yuzhang and Luling, his vanguard troops have entered Guangxi. Yang, Jiaozhou, and Changsha, I am passively counterattacking."

Lai Gong looked at Lan Tian's expression with disbelief, thinking that what you said so easily is called a passive counterattack?Maybe Sun Quan was tricked into it again.

"How many people does Sun Quan have this time?" Lai Gong asked.

Lan Tian spat out two words contemptuously: "One hundred thousand."

Lai Gong was shocked: "One hundred thousand? It's a pity that General Guan can't get away. Sir, are you okay?"

"Does Deshun look like I have a problem? The [-] soldiers from Luling who entered Guiyang have already been defeated by Boyang's army, and they have seized Luling County as the main force. There will be definite news coming back soon, at least until now there is no war warning in Guangzhou." Lan Tian's expression was very calm.

"It seems that Mister really has the chance to win." Lai Gong swallowed his saliva, and continued to say excitedly: "I have to go back to Chang'an immediately, this is a big deal."
