Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 954 The End and Beginning of the Hero (The Finale)

The spring breeze blows, and the horseshoe is sick.

Liu Bei gave up the Emperor Luan, and galloped with Zhang Fei and Lan Tian on the field. The beautiful scenery beside the road was not in the mood to appreciate it, and thousands of words were summed up in one urgent word.

After running wildly for a day and arriving in Huayin, Liu Bei ordered a short rest and planned to continue on the road overnight.

Lan Tian was jolting on the horse, and his whole body seemed to be shaken loose, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei didn't feel tired at all, and no one in the company dared to persuade them.

"Your Majesty, the so-called haste makes waste. If you don't have clear vision at night, if you encounter any danger, wouldn't it be even more time-consuming?" Lan Tian bit the bullet and approached.

"Ziyu also asked Anguo (Guan Xing), and he should know that the situation of the second brother is very bad, and I am very scared." Liu Bei's face was full of worry.

Zhang Fei stared at Lan Tian angrily for the first time, and roared: "Lan Ziyu, you don't understand the feelings of our brother Taoyuan. No one can stop me and my majesty from going to see my second brother today. Don't lobby your majesty here, otherwise I will..."

"Yide, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Bei reprimanded sharply.

"Second brother is in critical condition, how can we be stopped by the night? Why not light a torch to open the way?" Zhang Fei asked excitedly.

"Yide, you are enough." Lan Tian yelled loudly, and then retorted: "Only you know the rush? We ran from morning to night today, have you considered His Majesty's health? Is it the same for the rest of the journey? Yu Doctors can't stand such torture."

Lan Tian's voice was powerful and forceful, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were greatly surprised when they heard it. They didn't expect the elegant Lan Tian to be so suppressive when he was angry.

"What do you say?" Zhang Fei's tone softened suddenly.

Lan Tian frowned and replied: "Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood. We can start early during the day, but we must rest at night, otherwise we won't be able to help when we see Yun Chang, and we will be exhausted instead."

"Yun Chang is so seriously ill, how can I have the mood to rest." Liu Bei shook his head straight.

Lan Tian said solemnly: "Your Majesty carries mountains and rivers on your shoulders. You should take good care of the dragon's body, even if you force yourself to rest. I have calculated the distance between the two sides and estimated that the two sides will meet in Luoyang. Huayin and Luoyang are five or six hundred miles away. Are you going to keep running without sleep? When you get there, you are exhausted."

"Let's run more distance, and the second brother and the others will travel less, even if we meet in Chenggao and Xingyang." Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced.

Lan Tian frowned and retorted: "Luoyang is one of the old capitals anyway, Luoyang's doctor is far better than Chenggao and Xingyang, and Yide doesn't want to delay Yunchang?"

"Why? I'm just in a hurry." Zhang Fei was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Ziyu is right. You have to recharge your batteries at night, and you can leave at dawn tomorrow." Liu Bei nodded slightly, and then sighed to Lantian: "It's a pity that Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo have passed away, otherwise"

Lan Tian solemnly replied: "I heard from Anguo's description that Yun Chang must have suffered from acute typhoid fever. Zhang Zhongjing is very good at this. I have sent people to Jingzhou. I invite Mr. Zhongjing's disciples to go to Luoyang. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay." Liu Bei nodded repeatedly.

"I knew Ziyu had a solution." Zhang Fei gave Lan Tian a bear hug, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness just now.

After a few days of rushing, Liu Bei and Guan Yu arrived in Luoyang almost at the same time.

After overnight consultations by dozens of imperial doctors, it was concluded that Guan Yu had an emergency due to wind and cold entering his body, which caused the knife and arrow injuries he had suffered in his early battles.

"Impossible, my second brother is invincible in the world, and a mere cold and fever can take him away? What use do I need you trash?" Liu Bei was furious after hearing the imperial doctor's introduction.

"Your servant is guilty." A group of imperial doctors knelt on the ground, trembling in front of the majesty of the emperor.

"If you don't like it, get the hell out." Zhang Fei swears directly.

"Second Brother, open your eyes, Big Brother is here to pick you up." Liu Bei whispered as he sat on the side of the couch, Guan Yu's originally maroon face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." Lan Tian comforted in a low voice.

"Ziyu, has Mr. Zhongjing's student arrived yet?" Liu Bei seemed to have found a straw when he heard Lan Tian's voice.

"It may take a few more days. Although Yunchang still hasn't woken up, his breathing is smooth and his pulse is strong. I believe he is not so pessimistic." Lan Tian's face was full of bitterness. Although he comforted him verbally, dozens of imperial doctors said that, but he still felt that it was not true. taste.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, don't listen to those quack doctors." Zhang Fei muttered.

Liu Bei continued to look sad, and suddenly asked whimsically: "Mr. Hua also has many disciples. Isn't your daughter still studying in medical school? She should know who has excellent medical skills. How about more people and strength?"

"Your Majesty, Guangzhou is too far away. It takes dozens of days to travel to and from Luoyang. General Guan may not be able to afford it. I will send someone to pick up Qing'er and the famous doctor in Guangzhou now."

When Lan Tian walked out of the room, Lan Yuan, Lan Ji, Guan Xing, and Zhou Cang were anxiously waiting at the door.

"Boyang, you should immediately send someone to Guangzhou and ask Ji Wu (Lan Qing) to recommend a few experts from the medical school to come to Luoyang day and night. There must be no mistakes." Lan Tian ordered solemnly. (Ji Wu, Lan Qing disguised herself as a man to go to school, Lan Tian followed the rules of the two elder brothers as her nickname, and Wu was born in Cangwu)

"Wei." Lan Yuan clasped his fists sonorously.

Guan Yu was still asleep, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei stayed in the room and waited. Lan Tian knew that they would not leave, so he sat beside him and accompanied him.

"Brother, Ziyu, would you like some drinks?" Zhang Fei sat beside him drinking.

Liu Bei shook his head, "Brother is not in the mood, third brother, drink less."

"I don't drink either, I can't take care of Yunchang when I'm drunk," Lan Tian waved his hands away.

"Oh." Zhang Fei didn't continue to persuade, he just sat beside him bored, pouring himself one cup after another.

Guan Yu opened his Danfeng eyes in the early morning of the next day. He saw a few familiar faces in front of him, and finally he turned his eyes on Liu Bei. "Your Majesty, I did not listen to your orders. I was in a hurry to send troops to Liaodong in early February. I didn't expect it to be so cold outside the Great Wall."

"Don't talk about it, it will be good if the second brother comes back." Liu Bei cried with joy, tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Fei smeared his face into a stained face, "Second brother, you scared us to death."

"Third brother, Ziyu, it's great to see you this time." Guan Yu nodded slightly.

Liu Bei hurriedly comforted: "Second brother, don't be pessimistic. You have a cold and fever emergency. Ziyu has sent someone to Jingzhou. Zhang Zhongjing has a disciple who will treat it. We will persist for a few more days."

"Your Majesty, life, old age, sickness and death are natural and common sense. Fate is determined by God. How can manpower be against it? I have lived so far, and I know enough." Guan Yu and Liu Bei clasped their hands, and there was no trace of fear in their calm eyes.

"Second brother, don't do this. I am the son of heaven, the son of heaven. If I don't allow it, who would dare?" Liu Bei replied domineeringly.

Guan Yu shook his head lightly, squeezed out a smile and said, "At this time of year, I don't know if the peach blossoms are in bloom. I miss my third brother's peach garden so much."

"Second brother get well soon. Less than ten days ago, His Majesty and I were enjoying the peach blossoms in Chang'an." Zhang Fei replied anxiously.

Guan Yu asked, "Are there peach blossoms in Luoyang?"

Before Liu Bei and Zhang Fei could react, Lan Tian quickly replied, "Of course, there are peach trees in the garden directly behind Yun Chang's bedroom."

"Second brother, you" Liu Bei hesitated to speak.

Guan Yu said softly, "I want to visit Taoyuan."

"But my second brother has a cold and fever emergency, how can I go to the back garden to blow the cold wind? I can't put my second brother in danger." Liu Bei refused decisively.

Guan Yu was full of bitterness, and shook his head to retort: ​​"Taoyuan is not a dangerous place. It is a good memory."

"I know" Liu Bei wanted to continue persuading, but found that Lan Tian was pulling his skirt, so he sighed, "Well, I and Yide enjoyed the peach blossom a few days ago, and now I will make it up for you."

"I have someone prepare first to make sure there is no cold wind on the way." Lan Tian clasped his fists and asked for instructions.

"Go." Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Unable to prepare in a hurry, Lan Tian sent Lan Yuantiao's trapped soldiers into the palace, filled the passing area with rows of trapped soldiers, and used a human wall to block the flowing cold wind.

After the entrapment army prepared the human wall, Zhou Cang carried Guan Yu on his back, Guan Xing and Lan Ji stood guard on the left and right, and went to the peach grove in the back garden with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Lan Tian.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sat under the tree, with wine and meat on the table in front of them. The three of them sat together recalling the past, and their thoughts instantly went back decades ago, to the butcher's village.

Lan Tian and others stood watching not far away, and left the warm time to the three brothers Liu Bei. Guan Yufeng looked at Lan Tian's shadow, and suddenly asked with emotion: "Your Majesty, third brother, you said that Ziyu Ruo was there at that time. Will you join us?"

"Of course, we have a lot of affinity with Ziyu." Zhang Fei was the first to express his support.

Liu Bei glanced at Lan Tian, ​​shook his head and said, "Ziyu was only six or seven years old at that time, even if he was willing to join, you might not agree."

"It's not too late, is it?" Guan Yu asked meaningfully.

"Second brother, you mean now?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened.

Hearing a shock, Liu Bei stood up quickly and called Lan Tian over, and asked seriously, "Ziyu, you and our brothers are destined to become the fourth hero in Taoyuan?"

"Your Majesty's meaning." Lan Tian was very surprised.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Taoyuan is married."

"Ziyu is less than 50 years old, and there is a big age difference between us and the three brothers. The vow of sworn brotherhood is a bit disadvantageous for you. Since we are in love with each other, if Ziyu wants to, we can simply worship the world." Liu Bei nodded slightly.

"That minister has climbed high." Lan Tian was very excited.

Lan Tian immediately prepared the incense table, and the four of them knelt in a row to worship heaven and earth, but the oath of the same year and the same month was omitted.

Because Guan Yu was weak and weak, he was supported by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to complete the wedding ceremony.

Because Liu, Guan and Zhang were already sworn brothers, the newly joined younger brother, Lan Tian, ​​had to kowtow to Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei one by one, so Lan Tian actually worshiped Guan Gong.

After Taoyuan was completed, Lantian called Lanyuan and Lanji from far away, and solemnly asked them in front of Liu Guanzhang: "Boyang and Zhongling, for my father, I just became brothers with Your Majesty, and I want you to stand in front of this Taoyuan Make a solemn oath that the descendants of the Lan family will protect the great Han country from generation to generation."

"Wei." Lan Yuan and Lan Ji immediately knelt down and made a solemn oath.

Seeing this, Guan Yu also called Guan Xingyi to draw gourds, and Zhang Fei immediately scratched his head at Liu Bei and smirked: "Your Majesty, my two sons are in Chang'an, let them make up later."

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Guan Yu returned to the dormitory, his complexion suddenly became much worse. He lay on the couch, clutching Lan Tian's hand, and said softly: "Gongsun Yuan relies on the remoteness and bitter cold of Liaodong, and the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains can march for a short time every year, so I want to learn from my father's generation to separate the regime." On the one hand, if you want to take Liaodong, you need to be fully prepared and calculate the weather conditions. With Ziyu's ingenuity, it is easy to eliminate Gongsun. I will leave the mission that I have not completed to you."

"Second brother rest well, don't worry about state affairs anymore, I think Tanzhi (Guan Ping) is quite capable of using troops, and Boyang and Zhongling will help him take back Liaodong." Lan Tian patted the back of Guan Yu's hand lightly.

"Tanzhi is not bad, but it lacks some sharpness. Boyang and Zhongling are both good, not bad." Guan Yu nodded with a smile.

A few days later, several disciples of Zhang Zhongjing rushed to Luoyang, and the diagnosis and treatment found that Guan Yu was indeed exhausted.

In the seventh year of Yanyao, on the seventh day of April, Grand Sima and Grand General Guan Yu died of illness in Luoyang.

Zhang Fei, who was overly sad, followed Guan Yu on the tenth day of April because of bad drinking and drug abuse.

Within three days, Liu Bei lost two brothers in a row, and his beard and hair turned white overnight.

Liu Bei knew that his time was approaching, so he asked Lantian to urgently summon Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Taiwei Fazheng, Sikong Xu Shu, and Prince Liu Chan to Luoyang to explain the funeral.

Liu Bei appointed Lantian, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, and Xu Shu to assist the government. The four of them represented the four strongest factions in the court.

Lantian represents the Yuan Cong faction, Zhuge Liang represents the Jingzhou faction, Fazheng represents the Dongzhou faction, and Xu Shu represents the Central Plains gentry.

Xu Shu originally belonged to the Yuan Cong faction, but he was born in Yingchuan. After the Han army captured the Central Plains, Liu Bei asked Xu Shu to replace Guan Yu as the governor of Yanzhou in order to quickly stabilize the situation. A new political force in North Korea.

After Liu Bei appointed the auxiliary ministers, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan were left alone, and according to Lan Tian's suggestion, Liu Chan was asked to serve Zhuge Liang with his father's courtesy.

Liu Bei watched Zhuge Liang help Liu Chan up, and said with relief on his face: "It is easy to take the world, but it is difficult to keep the world. Ziyu strongly recommends Qing as the leader and assistant. I will entrust Ah Dou and the big man to you."

Zhuge Liang burst into tears, then knelt down in front of Liu Bei's couch, cupped his hands and said boldly: "I dare to exhaust my strength, serve the festival of loyalty, and then die!"

In the seventh year of Yanyao, on April 27, Liu Bei died in Luoyang.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Liu Chan ascended the throne in Chang'an and changed his name to Jianxing.

The posthumous posthumous title is Emperor Liu Bei Zhaowu, and the temple name is Liezu;

The prime minister, Zhuge Liang, was granted the titles of Marquis of Wuxiang, Jialu Shangshushi, and Yin of Henan; He was named Marquis of Dingxiang and Mu of Yanzhou; Ma Chao was granted the title of Marquis of Mei and Deputy Prefect of Chang'an Wutang; Guanping was named General of Chariots and Governor of Jizhou;
Zhuge Liang is in power, and Lantian is in charge of the army.The big Han did not cause turmoil due to Liu Bei's death, but became stronger with the concerted efforts of all the officials.

In the summer of the third year of Jianxing, Lantian sent Guan Ping, Lan Ji, and Wei Yan out of Lulongzhai, Zhao Yun, Lu Xun, and Gan Ning out of Qingzhou, and 12 troops went to Liaodong.

The army of the Han Dynasty pacified the Liao Dynasty in two months. The main general Guan Pingzhen beheaded Gongsun Yuan, and indirectly avenged Guan Yu for being infected with the wind and cold. Lan Ji chased into Daifang County and beheaded Master Sima. His wife, Sun Luban, fled to Mahan and hid in a Japanese fishing boat. Escape from birth.

Before Sun Quan fled to Japan Island, he sent Sima Shi and his wife undercover in Liaodong to help Sun Quan counterattack the Central Plains in the future. The two became Gongsun Yuan's disciples by virtue of their ability, and helped Gongsun Yuan force back and imprison Gongsun Gong. He successfully seized power, and Sima Shi became Gongsun Yuan's conspiracy host.

When Xu Chu Suwei was living in Liaodong, he was discovered by Sima Shi and used tricks to get rid of him. Later, he offered a plan to send the Chuanguo Yuxi to show weakness to Liu Bei. As a result, the Han Dynasty "made an inch" and asked Gongsun Yuan to go to Chang'an to face the saint. As a result, Gongsun Yuan did not seize power for Sima Shi Opportunity, directly beheaded the envoy of the Han Dynasty and severed the relationship.

After the Han Dynasty regained Liaodong, it had completely restored the territory of the original thirteen prefectures. Many people in the court suggested reducing the army and subsidizing other fields by reducing military expenditures, but Lantian finally rejected it.

In fact, due to the promotion of high-yield grain, the people's livelihood and population in each prefecture are rapidly recovering. Especially Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, which adopted the new system, are so rich that the neighboring prefectures and counties are jealous, and they have petitioned the court to demand the implementation of the new policy.

The contradiction between the "New School" headed by Lantian and the "Old School" dominated by the gentry gradually became prominent. Just when Zhuge Liang was planning to try out the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System", officials headed by the gentry from the states in the Central Plains secretly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Emperor Liu Chan to express that Resolutely support the ancestral system and resist the new system.

The resistance launched by the gentry was concentrated in military expenditures, which caused serious constraints on major foreign affairs such as the conquest of the Xiongnu and Xianbei in Lantian, the recovery of the Western Regions, the southward travel to Funan, and the crossing of the sea to challenge Sun Quan.

Zhuge Liang saw that the internal fighting was about to start, so he took the initiative to find Lantian to discuss, saying: "Ziyu, the soldiers have been fighting for decades, shouldn't they take a break? The barbarians on the grassland are not as good as before. In fact, it is difficult to pose a threat to us."

"The prime minister is a wise man. People who have no foresight must have near-term worries. Although the Hu people are not threatened now, who knows what will happen in ten, twenty, or fifty years? We should completely eliminate the threat." Lan Tian's eyes were firm.

"What does Ziyu mean?" Zhuge Liang frowned.

Lan Tian sternly said: "The Great Wall can't stop the Hu cavalry going south. We only have to eliminate the Hu people, or bring the Hu people under the rule of the Han, and let the grassland outside the Great Wall become the territory of the Han, so that we can finish it once and for all."

"Ziyu wants the entire grassland? The big man finally has a sign of a prosperous age. If he continues to fight, he will easily hurt the country. The Taifu didn't have such a character before." Zhuge Liang looked puzzled.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied: "I told the first emperor about this matter, taking advantage of the current national strength, we should expand our territory."

Zhuge Liang was startled when he heard that, and quickly asked: "Is it too militaristic?"

Lan Tian spat out eight words in a deep voice: "The crime lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future."

"Ziyu, your burden is too heavy. There are many voices of opposition from the imperial court. I'm afraid it will not be easy to implement it." Zhuge Liang shook his head again and again.

"Those short-sighted clowns are nothing to worry about. Remember how I dealt with Jiang Dong?"

Lan Tian whispered his plan in Zhuge Liang's ear, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly dissuaded him: "This is too dangerous, Tai Fu must not do it."

"I've made up my mind, the prime minister doesn't need to persuade me any more, just cooperate with Boyang when the time comes." Lan Tian looked solemn.

"Okay." Zhuge Liang nodded respectfully.

In the summer of the fifth year of Jianxing (236), Lantian went on a tour of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou on behalf of the emperor. The boat capsized when he had to cross the Yangtze River. Lantian, his wife and daughter fell into the water and disappeared.

The sudden incident caused an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.

Liu Chan posthumously posthumously posthumously Lantian as Marquis of Ying, who deserves to enjoy the Taimiao.

Lan Yuan soon joined forces with Zhuge Liang to quickly make Lan Tian's bizarre death bigger, and got the support of the emperor Liu Chan, and then eliminated the opponents of the foreign strategy on the charge of harming the Tai Tuo.

Later, Zhuge Liang and Lan Yuan successively became Da Sima, establishing a permanent national policy for the outward expansion of the Han Dynasty's territory, and continuing its prosperity.

Jingzhou, Wuling County, Chenyang County, Luming Manzhai.

Lantian, where the golden cicada escaped from its shell, lives in seclusion with Lu Lingqi.

After experiencing the Yangtze River ship capsizing incident, Lu Lingqi also practiced Wuqinxi every day to keep fit. Lan Tian planted rice and vegetables next to the hut for self-sufficiency.

One morning, Lu Lingqi saw Lan Tian building a grape trellis in front of the door, and she jokingly asked, "My husband still can't forget this, why don't you plant a peach garden?"

"Taoyuan is already in my heart, but the grape trellis belongs to you. Do you still remember how we met?" Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

Lu Lingqi blushed and murmured: "How old are you? Still so nasty. Qing'er is going to come back with her son-in-law in the next two days, and she happened to call Sha Moke to have an injection."

"Didn't you just come here three months ago? Probably to ask Boyang about countermeasures again." Lan Tian shook his head.

"Then our grand master, do you want to prepare a table of meals?" Lu Lingqi asked meaningfully.

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "If you want it, I want to teach my son-in-law two good dishes, so that I can cook it for Qing'er in the future."

"You let Qing'er choose by herself, but she chose a child who was a farmer. You are really good father and daughter." Lu Lingqi shook her head.

At noon the next day, Lan Qing and her husband came to the front of the house, handed a stalk of rice to Lan Tian, ​​and said excitedly: "Father, Xue Lin found this by accident in Zhuya, let's see if it is the one you mentioned."

Lan Tian took a look and was shocked: "This is a wild male sterile plant"

The book ends.
