Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 924

"You want to leave too? It's not impossible, it's just..." Lan Tian said condescendingly, and stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

Yuan Yao heard that there was something to be said, and hurriedly saluted and begged: "Little sister is going to a foreign country alone, please let the lord of the government do everything possible."

"This general is no longer in charge of Lingling. The affairs of Jingzhou are now under the jurisdiction of Xu Sikong. It's okay for Yuan Langzhong to go, but I'm afraid there will be no free time to settle down." Lan Tian showed embarrassment on his face.

Although Lan Tian is no longer in charge of the four southern Jing counties, it is easy to ask for favors from Xu Shu or Hao Pu. Besides, Yuan Yao is only an official by Sun Quan's side, and it seems that his ability is relatively mediocre. Otherwise, with Mrs. Yuan's relationship, he would Will not be such an idler.

"Uh, if we can go to Lingling together, we can do it for the common people." Yuan Yao quickly agreed. He thought that with his younger sister's good looks and Yuan's family background in Runan, he should be able to find an official family to marry, and himself Then you can survive by nepotism.

Yuan Yao had inquired about the four counties in southern Jing, and knew that Lingling, where Lantian ruled, was the most prosperous. In addition, Lingling was far in the hinterland of Jingzhou, so there was basically no worry of war. Spend the rest of your life in another place.

"Since Mr. Yuan is so earnest, let's go home and pack up the preparations. We will set off with the fleet recently, and we can go to Li Cao's Yamen to hand over in advance." After speaking, Lan Tian waved his hand lightly, signaling Yuan Yao to leave.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, my servant will leave." Yuan Yao bowed and exited the small courtyard.

Seeing Yuan Yao bowing his knees, Lan Yuan beside him asked suspiciously: "This Yuan Langzhong is really brave enough to leapfrog to beg his father. You usually don't talk much even Jiangdong officials, why are you spending so much time talking about it today?" On the little people?"

Lan Tian sighed: "Because he is Yuan Shu's son"

"Father and Yuan Shu are old? No, Yuan Shu has long been defeated, and even Sun Quan is under your control, why did you do this to his son?" Lan Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but actually asked Lan Tian about the situation.

Lan Tian looked into Lan Yuan's expectant eyes, and said melancholy: "If your mother hadn't met me, she would probably marry into Yuan Shu's family and become the wife of Yuan Yao just now."

"What?" Lan Yuan was taken aback, and then murmured to himself: "Then Yuan Yao is timid and has no trace of heroism, how can he be worthy of his mother?"

"My father told you earlier, how many women can choose their lives? Your father wanted to occupy Xuzhou in the past, but Cao Cao had a deep hatred with him, and he always wanted to destroy it and then quickly. Your father wanted to make friends with Yuan Shu through marriage. Although your mother is a hero among women, she cannot escape her own fate." Lan Tian frowned.

"Uh, if that's the case, my mother will go to Jiangdong with Yuan's orphan, but her fate should be very rough, and she might meet her father again." Lan Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of the ending.

Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, "Silly boy, if I hadn't met your mother, I might not have participated in the extermination of Wu, and I might have died in the chaos of the passing army."

"It's still as good as it is now." Lan Yuan felt very grateful.

"Now I understand why I'm tolerant of Qing'er. My father doesn't want her to be a tool to consolidate family interests and carry out political marriages like ordinary women. She should have a more free life." Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan and said seriously.

Lan Yuan nodded after listening, and suddenly asked Lan Tian: "Father, Wan'er, she won't be"

"Boyang and Wan'er know each other well. I asked the Queen's opinion in advance. Wan'er married into our Lan family voluntarily. His Majesty also likes your son-in-law very much. Could it be that you don't like Wan'er?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Lan Yuan was stunned when he heard that, and hurriedly explained: "Wan'er respects her parents and knows the general principles very well. The child is very satisfied. When she successfully gives birth to Lin'er, please father give your grandson a name."

"Father will pick the baby name, and you will pick the name yourself. Only then will you truly grow up." Lan Tian stroked his beard and smiled.

"You can save it, baby." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and nodded.

Lan Tian stepped down the steps, "When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I will go to the Bing Cao with me now. We have to make the waves in Huainan bigger and share the pressure with General Guan and His Majesty."

"Wei." Lan Yuan agreed.

After relocating Sun Quan's family members and dismissing the attendants in the palace, the Wu Palace became an empty palace. Lantian "utilized waste" to allow the newly established Liucao Yamen to settle in it, so Lantian and his son entered the palace not far from the small courtyard. The door came to Bingcao Yamen.

At Lantian's suggestion, Lu Xun set up a war room in the yamen, turning Huainan and the surrounding areas into a sand table to facilitate military discussions and deployment of operations.

Yangzhou's current military strength is divided into four parts, namely the 2 naval forces of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou under the command of Gan Ning, the 3 Jiangdong old troops under the command of Lu Xun, the 5000 troops under the command of Lan Yuan, and the [-] Jiefanwei under the command of Yu Xiu. people.

The naval army and Jiefanwei under Lu Xun's command are both Sun Quan's old troops on the surface. The gentry think that they have half the say in the military, so it is very convenient to pay money and food, and they are in the 'honeymoon period' with the new Yangzhou Mu.

In fact, apart from Yu Xiu's Jiefanwei, many generals in Lu Xun's old Jiangdong army have been loyal to Lantian, such as Ding Feng, Luo Tong and other young generals who have long expressed their loyalty. Lantian has absolute control over Yangzhou's military power right.

Before Lantian and Lanyuan came to the sand table, Lu Xun pointed to the front and explained the situation of the Wei army's garrison, that is, with Hefei as the center point, it spread out in a fan shape to the north, and the total strength was close to 10.

"Since there are not many troops stationed in the south of the opponent, I think we can eat the surrounding areas of Shu County first, and after we have established a foothold in Lujiang, we can think of ways around Hefei. What's Bo Yan's opinion?" Lan Tian first put forward his own point of view.

Lu Xun frowned and replied: "At this time of the year, the water in the river slowly rises, and Wei soldiers will lean north on purpose, fearing that the water will suddenly fill the land. The key to our loss is that the water will gradually stabilize in autumn, and we have expanded our defense so much for a while, what if the Wei soldiers come back after autumn?"

"What should I do? Soldiers come to cover up the water and cover it with soil, so it's okay to fight back?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Wei soldiers have tall horses, and we don't have an advantage in fighting on the plains. In the end, the general thought it was better to take the important town of Hefei first, so that the logistics supplies can all go by water." Lu Xun made a suggestion.

"The city of Hefei is solid. I heard that Jiang Ji deliberately rebuilt a new city ten miles away from Hefei according to his plan. The purpose is to deal with the navy of Soochow, so that Jiangdong warships cannot approach the city of Hefei and smash the city. It doesn't make any sense." Lan Tian stroked his beard and said.

"The Wei army is like that, at least the army in the formation has nothing to fear." Lan Yuan stated directly.

"Uh, the entrapment army is well-equipped, so it's no problem to block the Wei soldiers, but there are no waterways around the Lujiang River, and it's not easy for us to supply logistics. Can the government solve it?" Lu Xun asked curiously.

Lan Tian said concisely: "No."
