There were about two to three hundred cavalrymen coming up, with the banner of Zhao behind them. The leader was about twenty-five or six years old, wearing gorgeous armor and holding a shiny silver gun. He asked defiantly: "Who are you?" Where are these bandits? How dare you come to rob Linwu? Don’t you know my name?”
Lan Tian thought he was some famous general, so he called the clerk and asked, "Who is this?"
"General, this is Linwu County Lieutenant Zhao Bo, the prefect's distant nephew..."
Zhao Bo? Zhao Fan’s nephew? It seems that she is not as famous as his sister-in-law.
When Lantian saw that the clerk was about to speak but hesitated, he thought to himself, what else could he hide? So he ordered: "We don't know each other when we first come here, please go and negotiate."
"only."
The clerk walked to the front of the formation and raised his hands and said: "General Zhao, this is General Lan, the captain of Diannong under the Yuzhou Shepherd Tent. Today, he came to Wu to inspect and prepare to select a place for farming..."
"What nonsense? How far is Yuzhou from here? Are you coming to Linwu to farm?" Zhao Bo said coldly. The news of Liu Bei's coming to Guiyang has not yet reached the county level, and the county captain does not know that Zhao Fan has secretly handed over power. .
"This was approved by the prefect..." The clerk quickly explained that yesterday when they went to Qujiang, they encountered bandits on the road. There were dozens of bandits and Gan Ning was not enough to kill them.
"Who are you? I haven't seen you, and I haven't received any documents. Could it be that the Yue barbarians want to steal my city? Get out of here, you're walking too slowly, don't blame me for being ruthless with my gun." Zhao Bo said coldly. .
"I am Hu Caoshu Zuoxu..."
"Get lost." Zhao Bo shouted sternly.
Seeing that Gan Ning was about to make a move, Lan Tian said softly: "Go ahead, Xingba, don't hurt his life."
"Wei." After Gan Ning said this, he clapped his horse and stepped forward.
Lan Tianxin thought that this Zhao county captain was probably a well-connected person. Looking at his bright clothes and angry horses, he didn't know how much he weighed. After all, his name was not left in the history books.
Zhao Bo is Zhao Fan's nephew. His personal ability is relatively mediocre, but he is a hot-blooded Xirenxia man. He once asked Ying to help Zhang Xian in an unsuccessful attempt to fight against the Jingzhou army, and was later arranged by Zhao Fan to become a county captain in Linwu.
Because of this relationship, the military and political affairs of Linwu County were decided by the county captain, and the poor county magistrate became a decoration.
Zhao Bo had nothing to do on weekdays. He often went to the mountains to hunt and shoot tigers, and he always won in martial arts competitions with his subordinates. He thought he was very good at martial arts, so he had a rather flamboyant and arrogant personality.
When he saw Gan Ning charging towards him, Zhao Bo hit him with his horse and spear. Gan Ning opened and closed while running, without any intention of evading.
Zhao Bo was overjoyed and said that it was my turn to kill the enemy today, so that he could ask his uncle for credit later.
When the two horses crossed each other, Gan Ning's body tilted slightly, and the sword in his hand fell down.
The weapons collided, making a harsh sound.
Zhao Bo had never experienced such a surging force, which made his hands and mouth numb.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's body was out of balance, Gan Ning lightly relaxed his left arm and directly lifted Zhao Bo from the horse.
Lan Tian was surprised when he saw it in front of the formation. He thought to himself, "Is Gan Ning too strong or are you too weak?"
The general who joined forces was captured alive.
The moment Zhao Bo was picked up, he felt like he was sitting on a cloud. His world view collapsed in an instant. When he was thrown in front of Lan Tian's horse, his pride disappeared.
"Can you talk properly now? General Zhao?" Lan Tian asked thoughtfully.
Zhao Bo nodded sharply and said hesitantly: "To be able to... is a despicable... despicable position... disgraceful..."
Lantian said to the young official surnamed Xu: "There are many wastelands in Linwu that can be reclaimed. I think I will choose this place to farm. Could you please go back and inform the prefect."
"Wei." The clerk responded.
After Zhao Bo was captured alive, he brought the cavalry with him and was directly forced to disarm by Gan Ning's Fifty Steps. At this time, he was dismounting and waiting to be killed.
Lan Tianxin said, "How can the soldiers brought out by this idiot Zhao Bo have fighting strength?" From now on, Linwu will be his base camp for farming, and it must be slowly reorganized from top to bottom.
"Xing Ba, I feel sorry for you to be the captain of Linwu County first. Try not to disturb the original people and clear out the redundant buildings. I will go back to Chen County to find my lord and restore my order. I will bring the people from Dengjiazhuang here tomorrow." Lan Tian commanded.
"How can I feel wronged when doing things with Mr. Ziyu? I will definitely get everything done as soon as possible." Gan Ning said with his fists clasped.
Although Gan Ning had not joined Liu Bei for a long time, he already knew Lan Tian's deeds in detail. This man was a powerful person in Liu Bei's place, and his status seemed to be higher than that of Xu Shu.
Even Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, does not have an official position. Now that Lantian has appointed him as Linwu County Lieutenant, outsiders have already taken him very seriously.
"What about me?" Zhao Bo asked with a confused look on his face. After all, he was the county captain of Linwu.
Upon seeing this, Lan Tian smiled and said: "You and General Gan will hand over the matter and go back to Chen County to find the prefect to arrange a position for you."
Seeing Zhao Bo's dejected look, Lan Tian wondered why this person had the same personality as a child?
Linwu was established as a county earlier than Qujiang, but due to its geographical location and plague, the population of the entire county was smaller than that of Qujiang.
Fewer people means more space for operation. In addition, this place is located in the middle of Guiyang, so it will be able to cover the entire county in the future.
After choosing a resettlement site, Lantian and Chen returned to Chen County to resume their duties.
When Liu Bei heard Chen Dao talk about Gan Ning's bravery, he couldn't help praising him: "Gan Xingba is indeed brave. Ziyu has a good vision. When do you plan to go to Linwu?"
"It's better to set off as soon as possible. People must settle down before they can live happily." Lan Tian said.
Zhuge Liang suggested: "Since Ziyu is the captain of Diannong, he is equivalent to the county magistrate. Why not hand Linwu over to him?"
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I served as a secretary in Xiapihu Cao, and I am afraid that I can govern a county..."
"Ziyu, don't belittle yourself. The population you manage in Dengjiazhuang is almost the same as the people in Linwu now. Such a small county is not a problem for you at all." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said: "Kong Ming is right. Ziyu's talents cannot be used just in the fields. Linwu will be left to your management."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Not long after Lantian returned to Chen County, Zhao Fan learned that Zhao Bo had collided with Lantian. He was frightened and was at a loss. He thought that he was Liu Shijun's brother-in-law, and it would not be too much to kill him on the spot.
Although Liu Bei controlled the actual power in Guiyang, he still politely informed Zhao Fan of the appointment of such county-level officials.
When Zhao Yun told him that Lantian was going to manage Linwu, Zhao Fan did not feel sad, and even felt a little happy.
"General Zilong, my nephew bumped into Mr. Ziyu. I don't know his attitude..." Zhao Fan took the opportunity to ask.
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "My lord and Ziyu are both broad-minded people. Don't take such trivial matters to your heart."
"That's good...that's good...is General Zilong married?" Zhao Fan suddenly asked.
"Not yet." Zhao Yun said in confusion.
Zhao Fan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Zilong and I are from the same hometown and have the same surname. Now we happen to have a marriage. I don't know the general's intention..."
"Marriage?" Zhao Yun is now in his prime. He was cautious when he followed Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, and indeed did not take marriage to heart. After he stabilized in Xinye, his colleagues in the army often mentioned that he should marry a wife to continue his descendants.
"My brother died young, and my sister-in-law Fan has been a widow for many years. She is five or six years younger than Zilong, and she is quite pretty. I wonder if the general intends to..." Zhao Fan said with excitement.
"This... let me think about it..." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he left without looking back.
