Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Come on, let's go out and fight him for three hundred rounds."

"Doubiandou..." Ji Ling became angry for no reason at this time, he rolled up his sleeves and stood up.

Seeing this, Lu Bu slammed his desk, stood up and glared at everyone, finally walked to the door of the big tent and said, "Bring me a halberd."

Liu Bei and Ji Ling were startled when they heard this, and thought to themselves, what does Lu Bu want to do?

"I advise your two families not to fight, but to obey the will of God." Lu Bu said.

"What is God's arrangement?" At this time Liu Bei was not in a hurry and Ji Ling was in a hurry, so he asked immediately.

Lu Bu ordered Fang Tian's painted halberd to stand under the gate, and said to the people in the tent, "The gate is 150 steps away from the Chinese army. I want to shoot an arrow at the twig of the halberd. If I hit it, your two families will stop fighting here. If you miss the shot, you each go back to the camp and arrange to fight.

Whoever refuses to follow me, I will gather soldiers and horses to help the other family. "

Although Lu Bu's words were threatening, Ji Ling was much more relaxed after hearing it, because in his understanding, it was impossible to shoot at such a distance, so he asked again: "The general is shooting..."

"Paint halberd twigs." Lu Bu repeated again.

Ji Ling calculated that it was impossible for Lu Bu to hit the shot, let alone defy him at this time, so he readily agreed, "Just follow the general, please don't break your promise."

Liu Bei was watching the play at this time, and even if Lu Bu successfully rescued him, he would not be grateful. After all, if he hadn't seized his Xuzhou, the situation today would not be possible.

Lu Bu then asked someone to fetch the bow and arrow, and saw that he set the bow and arrow in one go, and the arrow flew straight out of the hole in the halberd twig after it left the string.

Ji Ling was stunned by this smooth operation. He didn't know that Lu Bu, a general from the frontier, was far more proficient in bow and horse than he imagined.

The two families drank the reconciliation drink, Ji Ling was afraid that Yuan Shu would not believe it, so Lu Bu personally edited the book and brought it back with him, and the siege of Xiaopei was immediately relieved.

After this incident, Gan Qian admired this foster brother even more.

She bought some wine and meat from the city, and went back to Ganjiazhuang to reward Lan Tian.

When she returned home, Gan Qian found that the house was empty. Finally, she found Gan Ji and Lan Tian beside the grove tens of meters behind the house, where they were digging a hole.

"Father, brother, what are you doing? Are you digging a cellar?" Gan Qian asked.

Ganji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's right. Your brother said he has to dig deeper. I don't even know what he wants such a big cellar for."

"I bought some wine and meat from the city, brother, you have to cook today." Gan Qian laughed.

"Okay, Dad, you go back first, I'll do it for a while." Lan Tian said.

Gan Qian and Gan Ji went home first, and cleaned the meat they bought and the vegetables picked from the field.

While waiting, Ganji first poured himself a glass of drink. This extremely comfortable day is much more comfortable than when he was in the Pi.

In the evening, when Lan Tian came back from work, Gan Qian took advantage of the time when he was washing his hands and changing clothes to light the fire in the stove first.

When Lan Tian came to the kitchen, he went straight to the cooking pot, while Gan Qian lit a fire beside him and stole the teacher.

"Brother, you are really powerful. Isn't this called strategizing and winning thousands of miles away?"

Lan Tian was tasting the saltiness of the food at this time, and Gan Qian's flattery almost scalded his tongue. In fact, how could he have any plans?It's nothing more than conforming to history. Even if he doesn't send grapes to Gao Shun, the Chen family in Xiapi will encourage Lu Bu to send troops to Xiaopei to relieve the siege for their own benefit.

"Ahem, I don't have any plans, sister, please don't flatter me..." Lan Tian said modestly.

"Excessive humility is pride. Brother, you don't have to pretend in front of me. I know your wisdom better than others." Seeing that he almost burned her mouth, Gan Qian covered her mouth and nose and smiled.

Chapter 21 The Shelter

After Liu Bei experienced the siege of Ji Ling in Xiaopei, he was not satisfied with the existing thousands of soldiers. After the war, Mi Zhu sent people from the East China Sea to send money, food and grass to help him recruit troops in the surrounding areas. Many people in Ganjiazhuang also joined the army.

Because Gan Qian is interested in Lantian, she often returns to Ganjiazhuang to visit her relatives.

Xiaopei City is only a few miles away from Ganjiazhuang, and Liu Bei values ​​siblings more than wives and concubines, so he doesn't care about Gan Qian's behavior.

A few days later, Lantian's 'cellar' was dug. It was an earth pit about two meters deep and four to five meters long and wide, which was already many times larger than ordinary cellars.

Ganji followed suit at first, but later saw that the guy was digging more and more wrong, so he gradually lost his motivation, and Lan Tian did most of the work.

"Tian'er, do you use such a big cellar as a pond or a cesspool? We are just growing vegetables now, so it really can't be so big." Ganji asked puzzled.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, "Neither, I'll tell you when I'm done."

After the cellar was dug, Lantian asked the farmer to cut down the trees and cut them into logs of two to three meters long and five to six meters long. The remaining branches, leaves and treetops of the felled trees were all thrown into the cellar and burned.

It was the slack season at this time, and the farmers were willing to help with the work, but they didn't understand Lan Tian's move.

During this period, Gan Qian returned to work at the stove because she often went back to her natal home. She had already learned a lot about Lantian's craft.

When Lantian used the short logs as pillars and the long logs as 'capping', the Gan family finally knew that this guy had really built a cellar, and it was a very luxurious cellar. Finally, a carpenter was invited to fix it with mortise and tenon technology.

After the cellar was completed, Lan Tian invited Gan Ji and Gan Qian to open the top cover and descend the ladder to the bottom.

The baked walls have lost much moisture, just like a small house on the ground.

"Tian'er, you have expended so much energy for 20 days, what are you going to use it for?" Ganji asked puzzled.

"Father, Sister, this is the shelter I built. I need to add a wooden bed here, and store some water and dry food..."

"It's not Tian'er, you plan to live here? Isn't it good for us to live on the ground?"

"Of course I don't live here all the time. It's just that we can have a place to hide in case of war."

After Lan Tian explained this, the father and daughter immediately understood that the massacre in the fourth year of Chuping still lingers in people's hearts.

"Brother, are you being too cautious? Now that Xuande is stationed in Xiaopei, I believe nothing will happen in the future." Gan Qian said.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Xuzhou's terrain is flat, basically there is no danger to defend, and Xiaopei is at the intersection of the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yu and Yan. It may not be easy for your husband to stay for a long time. I am just planning ahead."

Gan Qian's heart tightened when she heard it, and thinking about it carefully, it was exactly what Lan Tian said. At this time, he looked at this foster brother who was growing up, and felt more and more mysterious. .

If it is said that Lan Ziyu can only farm, at least Gan Qian does not believe it.

After the three of them walked out of the shelter, Lan Tian filled the top with a meadow of dirt and covered several air holes with fallen leaves. He had used all his survival skills in watching the wilderness before in this world.

Walking two meters away, Ganji found that the shelter just now was almost invisible, and he said in surprise: "Tian'er, your disguise is enough to deceive the real one. If there will be military disasters as you said, our father and I will have to pay for it." Arrange the bottom well."

"Brother, as you said, what about Xuande? Give me an idea." Gan Qian said worriedly.

"Sister, you really think highly of me. Apart from farming, I'm proficient. I really don't know how to govern the country and fight for the world." Lan Tianxin said that my profession is indeed wrong, and let Liu Bei go to Xichuan now. Can you come down?

Gan Qian went back to Xiaopei with regret, Gan Ji saw her daughter's lonely back, and sighed, "Hey, I heard what you said just now, I'm afraid Qian'er will have to suffer if she follows Xuande..."

"Father, don't worry, although I don't want to help Liu Bei, I will try my best to protect sister." Lan Tian said sincerely.

Ganji shook his head and said meaningfully: "Don't look at those dogs in the village barking fiercely, but as long as I walk in front of them with a stick, this beast will definitely wag its tail at me. People may respect you."

Lan Tian's heart tightened when he heard this, and he wondered if it was really wrong for him to go on like this?

On September 28, horses hoofs sounded like thunder on the main road outside the village. Ganji stood in front of the courtyard and looked around, and saw countless soldiers and horses rolling up the loess and galloping towards Xiaopei.

"Looks like Lu Bu's soldiers in Xiapi, Qian'er, why did Xuande invite General Lu to Xiaopei again?" Gan Ji shouted to Gan Qian who was in the room.

Gan Qian was preparing dinner, she wiped her hands on her apron, and asked in bewilderment: "No, Xuande is training soldiers recently, what is Lu Bu doing here now?"

At this time, Lan Tian hurried over from the back of the house, "Father, sister, hurry up and take some clothes and quilts to the shelter, and put out the fire in the stove by the way, let's bring more cooked food down."

"Brother, you are..."

"Go to the shelter first, let's talk about it later." Before Gan Qian finished speaking, Lan Tian urged.

When Liu Bei learned that Lu Bu was coming with troops, he hurriedly led Guan Zhang out of Guo to meet him. Before the two sides met and saluted, Cheng Lian's front troops suddenly attacked, and Xiao Pei's soldiers were killed by surprise.

Liu Bei hurriedly returned to Xiaopei City to defend, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly organized personnel to participate in the battle.

After Cheng Lian retreated for a while, Lu Bu's rear army also went to the city, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Why did General Lu attack suddenly?" Liu Bei shouted standing on the tower.

Lu Bu reined in the reins of the red rabbit horse and walked out of the battle, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, pointed at the tower and shouted: "Liu Bei, I kindly took you in and stationed in Xiaopei. Last month I shot the halberd at the gate, and Xie Xiaopei was disciplined. Surrounded by spirits, but you didn't think about repaying your kindness, but ordered Zhang Fei to take my war horse, which is really what a man did."

"There may be a misunderstanding in this, General Lu rests from his thunderous anger for a while, and wait until I find my third brother to explain to you." Liu Bei rubbed his hands and said.

At this time Zhang Fei happened to be on the tower, and when he heard Lu Bu's aggressive words just now, he was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

Zhang Fei ignored Liu Bei, and pointed at Lu Bu at the base of the city and yelled angrily: "Slave of the three surnames, you have taken the lead from my eldest brother Xuzhou, how do you have the face to show off your power here? What happened to snatching hundreds of horses from you? From now on I See you once and grab once."

"Ringeye thief, today I swear to kill you."

Lv Bu was furious, and immediately ordered Zhang Liao and others to storm the city. Zhang Fei's seizure of horses could only be regarded as the fuse, and Liu Bei's frantic recruitment of soldiers and horses in Xiaopei was the main reason.

After several months of exploring Xuzhou, Lu Bu discovered that Liu Bei still had a great influence in this place. In addition, the rebel General Xu Dan was afraid of being retaliated by Liu Bei, so he kept slandering him, and finally made Lu Bu decide to attack Xiaopei. Uproot Liu Bei's power from Xuzhou.

Liu Bei was completely unprepared for the battle, so after two days of defense, Xiaopei City was breached, and the family members in the city fell again with Lu Bu's hands. He took Guan Zhang and others and led the remnant troops to flee to Yuzhou.

Chapter 22 Rebellion

Before Lu Bu attacked Xiaopei, he promised to use Liu Bei's money, silk, food and grass to work in the army, so the soldiers all took the lead.

After Xiaopei was broken, there was not much grain in the treasury, let alone any money.

During this period of time, Liu Bei recruited a lot of soldiers and horses. How could there be much money left for Lu Bu?

Lu Bu had made a promise to the soldiers before the battle, if he did not fulfill his promise, his prestige in the army would be reduced.

Lu Bu didn't like Cao Cao's massacre of the city like that, but at this time there was no way to send troops to loot some property.

He instructed Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao: "You have to restrain your subordinates, just borrow some food, rice and property from the people, don't easily hurt their lives, go to the village outside the city as much as possible..."

"Wei." Zhang Liao (Cheng Lian) said in unison.

Chen Gui used to be Prime Minister of Xiao Pei, and there are quite a few properties of the Chen family here, and Lu Bu still has to make friends with the Chen family at this time, so he can't go too far.

Tens of thousands of people looted the surrounding villages. Most of the ordinary people watched their property being robbed in order to survive, and a few people also lost their lives because of protecting food.

After half a day of looting, Lu Bu left five thousand soldiers and ordered Zhang Liao to guard Xiaopei, and led the army back to Xiapi.

Because there were Mi family members in Liu Bei's family, it was not harmful for Lu Bu to throw a rat-fighting weapon, so Zhang Liao took good care of him in Xiaopei.

Gan Qian avoided disaster in Ganjiazhuang, and just escaped the catastrophe.

After hiding in the shelter for a day, Lan Tian brought Gan Qian's father and daughter up. At this time, the Gan family village felt solemn and desolate, and many crops in the fields were trampled by people and horses.

Zhang Liao sent the original officials to various places to comfort the people, and hundreds of people from Ganjiazhuang spontaneously gathered at Ganji's house. Only then did they know the magical effect of the cellar dug in Lantian.

Although there were not many casualties this time, most of the farmer's property was robbed, and most of the food stored in the past two years was also removed, so everyone was crying with grief.

"No matter how difficult life is, as long as people are still alive, they must work hard to survive. Let's go to the fields as soon as possible to take care of the crops, otherwise we will be hungry in winter." Lan Tian encouraged everyone.

"Young owner, can we all refer to the construction of your shelter?" Li Yang, the owner of the village, asked.

"It can be built, but it is not easy to find a big one, and the site selection must be relatively particular." Lan Tian said.

Li Yang cupped his hands and said, "Then please give me some advice, Young Master."

"Please give me some advice, Young Master..." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay... Everyone, take care of the crops first, and let's do the rest slowly. There should be no military disaster in a short time." Lan Tian encouraged everyone.

Lan Tian's words sounded like a fairy, and the dealers were saddened after listening to them, and then returned home one after another.

"I don't know what happened to Xuande..." Gan Qian said worriedly after Zhuang Ke left.

Seeing that Gan Qian was in a low mood, Lan Tian comforted him, "Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave enough to be undeserved. With them by their side, General Liu will be fine. I'm sure he will return to Xiaopei again."

"Really?" Gan Qian was instantly delighted.

"When have I ever lied to you? Sister, just keep your heart in your stomach." Lan Tian laughed.

If Liu Bei loses at this time, he must vote for Cao Cao. If he hadn't listened to Cao thief's words to attack Yuan Shu, Xuzhou would not have been easily acquired by Lu Bu, let alone today's defeat. Boss Cao would definitely wipe his ass.

Now Gongsun Zan in the north retreated to defend Yi County after the Battle of Baoqiu. Yuan Shao had basically unified the north of the Yellow River. In addition, his eldest son Yuan Tan broke through Qingzhou occupied by Tian Kai. Yuan Shao's actual control power has reached the south of the Yellow River.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still allies at present, this fragile relationship cannot be maintained forever. With such a severe situation in the north, Cao Cao naturally does not want Lu Bu in the east to become a threat. Tigers gobble up Lu Bu.

After all, Liu Bei is more worthy of Cao Cao's trust than Lu Bu.

On the other hand, when Ji Ling returned to his teacher Shouchun from a young age, Yuan Shu was furious after reading Lu Bu's lecture and letter.

The last time Han Yin sent a lot of food and grass to Xuzhou, but Lu Bu secretly forced Ji Ling to retreat. Although the three books and six appointments were still being prepared according to the procedures, Yuan Shu already hated Lu Bu at this time.

At this time, the counselors under the tent offered advice, saying that Hao Meng, a Hanoi native, was old enough to make him rebel against Lu Bu with great profits, and then capture Xuzhou and dedicate it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard that, he had long intended to seize Xuzhou, so he ordered him to secretly go to Xiapi.

Lu Bu was full of ambitions when he came back from Pei Desheng, and he had a banquet with the generals for many days until late at night.

One night, at midnight.

Lu Bu was sleeping soundly on the couch, suddenly there was a commotion in the mansion, and the breath of gold and iron wafted in the wind.

The female guard in charge of guarding the backyard came to Lu Lingqi's door to report urgently, saying that there was an assassin invasion. Lu Lingqi quickly put on her military uniform and went out. After questioning, she learned that Hao Meng, her father's general, had rebelled and had already entered the government office. More than half of the female guards she commanded were killed or injured.
