Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 946 You are not qualified, who is qualified?

Lan Tian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and thought that Zhang Fei's ability to answer words was a bit strong, and he almost dug a hole for himself.

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled wryly: "Nonsense, the prince's marriage is too often witnessed, how can I witness the marriage of Ah Dou?"

"Er, it's either the second brother or Ziyu, Lai Deshun is not close enough to me." Zhang Fei pointed at the two and grinned silly.

Liu Bei was startled when he heard that, and then he pointed to Lan Tian and said, "Then Ziyu is fine, A Dou has been close to you since childhood."

"Wei." Lan Tian cupped his fists.

Because Guan and Zhang were both old, Liu Bei ordered them to drink in moderation, but Guan Yu was able to control himself very well. Although Zhang Fei obeyed the order and did not drink anymore, he sat at the table sullenly.

Seeing this, Liu Bei took the initiative to leave the table and leaned over, and sat cross-legged in front of Zhang Fei to comfort him: "Third brother, are you angry with your elder brother? I'm not letting you drink, but I'm not letting you drink too much. I'm still waiting for you to lead the soldiers." .”

"I have medicine." Zhang Fei took out a hangover pill.

Liu Bei snatched it away, and said with a serious face: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. Third brother should use it less in the future. Can't we drink less?"

"Drinking is not allowed, and the food is not delicious." Zhang Fei grumbled.

"How could it be? I asked Zhongling to invite a lot of chefs from Linwu, and it is reasonable to say that the taste is good." Guan Yu looked curious.

Zhang Fei cast a glance at Lan Tian, ​​"I still miss the days of Xiao Pei, it's a pity that I can eat the food cooked by Zi Yu himself."

"What's the pity? Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year's Eve. Find a place and I'll cook for you." Lan Tianxin said that it's not easy, can Da Sinong not cook?

"Really? Are there any new dishes?" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.

"Third brother, how can someone talk like that." Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei, and said to himself, are you still asking?

Lan Tian's eyes turned to his heart, and he said that tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I will make dumplings for you. He has been busy with government affairs these years and has no time to 'develop' new dishes.

"Of course." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

The next day, Lantian asked people to prepare pork, flour, and vegetables, and showed them to the army cooks in Guan Yu's camp to demonstrate how to make dumplings.

Liu Bei and others came to visit out of curiosity, and Zhang Fei personally squeezed two of them. It seemed funny to accidentally get flour on his face, but the dumplings have since spread and become the standard food of important festivals.

Because Liu Chan will arrive in Chang'an in May and June. At that time, not only will the crown prince get married, but Liu Bei will also confer the empress ceremony. Therefore, Lan Ji and Guan Yinping's marriage is scheduled for May, just as Lan Tian and Guan Yu are moving their families to Beijing. The battle was also extended until after autumn.

The affairs in Chang'an were cumbersome, and Liu Bei could not stay in Luoyang for a long time. He planned to return to Beijing with Guan Yu and others, but Luoyang was surrounded by densely populated cities, and many counties had not surrendered. Recalcitrant, so Guan Yu prepared to use the rest time to clean up the surrounding area.

In the end, not only Guan Yu did not return to Chang'an, but Zhang Fei and Ma Chao also took the initiative to stay and help, and it was still Da Sinonong Lantian who returned to Beijing on the same road.

Before Liu Bei left, he worshiped Guan Yu as Da Sima, made Zhang Fei Marquis Zhuo, and Ma Chao Marquis Mei, and all other meritorious officers and men were promoted.

Because the Dasinong Mansion established the Zongxun Affairs Office to specifically find some outlets for the titles and salaries of the noble clans, Liu Bei no longer grudged the title of county marquis, and generously rewarded meritorious ministers.

Not long after returning to Chang'an, news of the great victory in Hexi also spread to the capital.

At the end of last year, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong defeated the main force of Cao Zhen in two counties, Puling and Cangsong. Sneak attack and capture Guzang, Wuwei Zhisuo, which was neglected in defense.

Cao Zhen, who was hit repeatedly, abandoned Xiutu, went to Xianmei, defeated Fanhe, and went to Zhangye. In the end, more than a hundred of his relatives fled to Jiuquan. The Han army finally had a horse farm in Qilian Mountain.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was so happy that he couldn't help himself. Cao Zhen is now a "lonely ghost" and ignores it.

When Lan Tian learned that the Northwest was recovered, he thought that now that he had the horse resources, it was time to take out the stirrups. He drew a blueprint overnight and asked Song Chen to find a blacksmith in the capital to build it.

Two days later, Lan Tian entered the palace with the finished product, and finally met Liu Bei in Qilin Pavilion.

At that time Liu Bei was standing in the pavilion thinking, seeing Lan Tian appeared in front of him, his tone was reproachful: "What is Ziyu busy these two days? I don't know how to enter the palace to share the joy with me."

"Your Majesty, I learned that the Northwest was pacified, so I made this thing and offered it up for several days." Lan Tian took the stirrups out of the cloth bag.

"I thought Ziyu brought something alive, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing. It seems like" Liu Bei looked at Lantian in surprise.

"This is a double-legged stirrup, which is much easier to use than what we have now. General Zilong regained the northwest border, and His Majesty has his own horse farm. This thing can make it easier for the cavalry to control the horses, and greatly improve the ability to move and fight." Lan Tian explained. .

"Is it so magical?" Liu Bei looked disbelieving, thinking that such a small thing can improve the combat power of cavalry?
Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Your Majesty finds a cavalryman some time and you will know."

"Why take the time? I'm going to find someone right away." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he walked to the door and handed the stirrup to Chen Dao, asking him to try the effect himself.

Lan Tian turned around and looked around, only to see that the doors and windows here were sealed, so he asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing here, are you meditating here?"

"Meditation? No." Liu Bei shook his head lightly, pointing to the empty wall and explained: "This place is called Qilin Pavilion. In the past, Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan was drawn to commemorate the surrender of the Huns by the Huns. It is a pity that Dong Zhuo During Li Jue's catastrophe in Chang'an, the portraits of those famous officials were lost, and I just thought about filling them in."

"It's been too long, I'm afraid it's not easy to restore." Lan Tianxin said that there are no electronic files now, and the painter and those famous officials have died for hundreds of years, so you can't copy the same.

"Ziyu misunderstood, I am not painting the ancients, but the heroes of me." Liu Bei finished speaking seriously, and then added: "Qing is among them."

"Ah? How is the minister qualified?" Lan Tian was very surprised.

Seeing this, Liu Bei frowned and said, "Ziyu is my buttocks. If you are not qualified, who is qualified? It's just that I haven't thought about how many portraits to hang. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, there shouldn't be any restrictions on etiquette, you can do whatever you want." Lan Tian said in his heart that he would hang as much as he wanted, but it was best to follow his tongue, such as the 28 generals of Yuntai and the 24 ministers of Lingyan Pavilion.

"Then I will think about it carefully." Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Not long after, Chen Dao ran excitedly to meet him, and praised the magical effect of the double-foot stirrups, saying that he could better improve his riding skills, and he could perform more movements immediately.

"It's really great, I'm afraid Ziyu has a draft, right? Why didn't he show it earlier?" Liu Bei looked at Lantian meaningfully.

Lan Tian smiled mysteriously: "It's not difficult to make this thing. Your Majesty didn't have a racecourse before, so if you make it a long time ago, it's equivalent to being an enemy."

"Uh, I really have you." Liu Bei smiled awkwardly, and then took Lan Tian's hand and said, "Uncle Zhi said it so wonderfully, I couldn't help but try it myself, if it's really so amazing, I will rush to make it in batches, and the first batch of stirrups will start first." Give Ziyu as a dowry?"
