Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 90 Military Sand Table
When Lantian harvested corn and corn in Xiaopei, it gradually formed the custom of having a harvest banquet after the harvest. Later, it was brought to Linwu by Li Yang and others.

It may be due to migration, unacceptable water and soil, etc. In order to celebrate the rice harvest, the harvest feast in Linwu lasted longer, and many local Yue people also joined in.

In addition to Zhao Yun staying in Chen County, Liu Bei brought the main military and political personnel to Linwu, and even Guan Yu, who was in charge of building ships in Leishui, was called back.

Because of Yiji's sudden visit, Zhuge Liang set up a suspicious formation and really asked fishermen to fish downstream, so he sent Guan Yu to the upstream of Leishan in the southeast to covertly build ships.

Looking at the people's hard work while harvesting and plowing the land, Liu Bei sighed: "No one complains about the hardships of life despite working so hard under the scorching sun, and many people still have smiles on their faces. Really competent."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "There is a way to everything, if you don't know the way, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain. Ziyu knows the way very well."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I have seen Ziyu's methods when I was in Xinye, but I didn't know that he also knows the male and female of rice grains, and the way of Yin and Yang, which is beyond the reach of people of all ages."

"Brother, Ziyu is here." Zhang Fei pointed to the front and said.

There were more than ten people on Liu Bei's trip, so he asked people to notify the reception in advance to give Lan Tian enough preparation time.

After the greetings from both sides, Lan Tian will lead Liu Bei and others back to the county captain's mansion, where wine, meat and meals have been prepared in advance.

"Each year, Yide and I have to participate in the harvest banquet in Dengjiazhuang. When we come to Guiyang, we still can't forget this farm food." Liu Bei said with a smile after everyone sat down.

"That's right, big brother can't always blame me for being greedy." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others laughed.

After chatting for a few words, the atmosphere became lively, and the waiter brought the food and drinks. Lan Tian saw an old man in the corner who looked strange and didn't speak, and wondered if he was a talented person newly recruited by his brother-in-law?
"Brother-in-law, this is." Lan Tian asked.

Liu Bei: "Just now, I was too busy reminiscing about the old days, so I forgot to introduce to Ziyu. This is Zhang Zhongjing from Nanyang, a famous doctor Yi Jibo brought from Xiangyang."

Zhang Zhongjing?Lan Tianxin said that this was one of the few miracle doctors in the Three Kingdoms era.

He stood up and saluted, "I'm in Xialantian, I've seen Dr. Zhang."

Seeing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, "General Lan's absurd praise, how dare Zhang Ji accept such a great gift."

"Ziyu has also heard of Mr. Zhang's name? He stayed in Chen County recently, and he was very effective in healing soldiers who were not acclimatized. Today, he specially brought it here to show the people of Dengjiazhuang." Liu Bei said.

"That's very good, then please trouble Mr. Zhang." Lan Tian said politely.

"Don't dare. Dare not"

The banquet was rich in ingredients. In addition to common things such as chicken, sheep, and fish, the Yue people also presented a lot of game, as well as seasonal vegetables and fresh mushrooms. With the cooking techniques taught by Lan Tian himself, the meal was almost delicious. Liu Bei and others had the most sumptuous and delicious meal in their lives.

All the people at the table toasted and chatted freely until the afternoon.

After dinner, there were lychees, plantains and other fruits. Liu Bei peeled off a lychee and sighed: "In this age of war and chaos, Ziyu's Linwu can be compared to a fairyland."

"Liu Jingsheng has also entertained the lord many times, how does it compare to Ziyu's here?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Liu Biao? I think the Son of Heaven is nothing more than that." Zhang Fei muttered drunkenly.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "That's not as good as that."

Lan Tian saw that Zhang Ji was a little cautious, so he asked Gao Yuan to settle him down, and ordered him to take him to Xindengzhuang for consultation tomorrow.

In fact, most of the people in Xindengzhuang have overcome the acclimatization, but the famous doctor finally came, so it is better to go and see.

"Ziyu, the military adviser said that you set up a martial arts lecture hall in Linwu? How effective is it?" Guan Yu, who hadn't spoken much, asked.

When Guan Yu was speaking, Gao Shun kept observing Liu Bei's face. His subordinates secretly recruited troops and cultivated their own power, so they were easily suspected by the lord. He was always cautious under Lu Bu's account, which is why he was so trusted by Lu Bu.

Seeing Liu Bei's calm expression, as if he didn't care at all, Gao Shun couldn't help secretly praising his mind.

Lan Tian said calmly: "During this time, the farmers are busy, and the soldiers have to help with the farm work, so there are only two classes in the martial arts hall, and there is no effect for the time being. After the autumn harvest is free, we are going to carry out actual combat exercises. Then it should have some effect.”

"Ziyu, you let the soldiers help with the farm work?" Guan Yu treated the soldiers kindly, but he was very puzzled by Lan Tian's behavior, thinking that the soldiers were either fighting or training, and if they were allowed to do farm work, they would not mutiny?

Lan Tian gave Gan Ning a wink, and Gan Ning cupped his hands and answered for him: "General Guan, Mr. Said that the people grow food and raise soldiers, and the soldiers come from the people. You should always be grateful. Apart from fighting and fighting, protecting the environment and the people , the army can also share the worries of the people when they are free, this is the situation between the army and the people.”

While Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still reminiscing, Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "What a military and civilian fish and water situation."

Seeing that everyone was more interested, Lan Tian took them to the lecture hall again. As soon as Guan Yu entered the room, he was immediately attracted by the huge square wooden platform in the middle of the hall. The wooden platform used sand, branches, stones, etc. to construct mountains and rivers. , Cheng Guo, etc., this is a military sand table made by Lantian for teaching.

In ancient wars, troops were basically used on maps. It was not until Liu Xiu of Guangwu attacked Kaihuo in Longxi, and Ma Yuan used rice to make valleys and hand-painted mountains and roads that the military sand table took shape.

"What is this thing? It seems that there are mountains and waters, as if it is exactly the same as the real one." Guan Yu asked curiously.

"This is a military sand table, which is used for deduction and analysis by the students in the lecture hall." Lan Tian explained.

"Could this river be the Yellow River?" Zhuge Liang looked at the direction of the river on the sand table and guessed.

"This is the terrain of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at Guandu. A few days ago, we restored the details of the battle here. Here is Yanjin, here is Baima, and here is Xudu," Lan Tian introduced.

Guan Yu had personally experienced the Battle of the White Horse, and he suddenly realized after hearing it: "No wonder I feel so familiar, Ziyu is indeed omnipotent, and you know so much about the local mountains and rivers and landforms?"

At this time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Tian curiously, thinking that this guy really has the power of ghosts and gods?
Lan Tian shook his head hastily, "There are quite a few people in Dengjiazhuang who come from exiles from the north, and this was restored with the efforts of a dozen people."

"This military sand table is more intuitive than a map, and it should be very accurate for deducing wars. Could it be General Gao's coup?" Liu Bei asked Gao Shun.

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It's not my ability, it's made by craftsmen arranged by Master."

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Tian again, Lan Tian said with a smile: "It's all random thinking, after all, this martial arts hall is still in the process of figuring it out."

Zhuge Liang pointed to Lantian and said: "Ziyu, you are a genius. I think this military sand table should not be limited to the martial arts hall. What do you think, Yunchang?"

Guan Yu said affirmatively, "I'll ask someone to make one when I go back."
