"The young general is also going to Chenxian County?" Gao Shun asked with clasped fists.
"The general went to see his uncle in Chenxian County on his father's orders. Because the military situation was urgent, he did not get on the boat to say hello to Mr. Ziyu. I will apologize to Mr. Ziyu later." After Guan Ping said this, he ordered the boat to move quickly and overtaken Lantian's boat. .
Lan Tian heard someone talking in the cabin, walked out and saw a small boat passing in front of him, "Have you met someone you know?"
"Guan Tanzhi said that he had to go to Chen County to see Ambassador Liu if he had important military information." Gao Shun replied.
Guan Yu was training his naval force in Dongting Lake. He sent Guan Ping to report that something must have happened. Lan Tian recalled the historical events and suddenly discovered that the Battle of Chibi had been less than a year. It should be that Huang Zu of Jiangxia was about to suffer.
I haven't developed enough in Jingnan yet, will I be facing the lane soon?
"Sir, what's the problem?" Gao Shun asked.
Lan Tian frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Jiangxia. After all, Huang Zu and the Sun family are old enemies..."
Gao Shun didn't take it seriously. Jiangxia and Lingling were far away, so even if there was any war, it would not affect them.
"Miss, are you still seasick?" Gao Shun asked again.
Lan Tian smiled bitterly and said: "She originally swore never to take a boat again, but the water route is several times faster than the land route, and Ji'er is too young to handle the bumpy ride of a long-distance carriage."
"Don't talk about Miss, I'm a little uncomfortable. The river is shaking so hard. I really don't understand how Gan Xingba fights..." Gao Shun looked puzzled.
"North horse and south ship, this has been the case since ancient times." Lantian said.
The two ships docked at the dock, and they still had to travel dozens of miles by land. Zhao Yun had prepared horses and vehicles in advance.
"General Zilong, please come and pick me up." Lan Tian bowed his hands in greeting.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Ziyu came just in time. My lord and the military advisor are discussing the military situation in Jiangxia. You and the eldest son can return to Chen County quickly."
"I don't understand military affairs, so I'll go slowly with General Gao and others, and Ziyu and Zilong go first." Liu Qi said.
Lan Tian said to Lu Lingqi: "Xiaojun, you and Boping follow slowly. If you feel uncomfortable, please stop for a while."
Lu Lingqi urged: "Military and national affairs are important, husband, stop loving your children..."
"Okay." Lan Tian nodded to Gao Shun, then raised his whip and spurred Ma Juechen away.
Entering Liu Bei's mansion, Zhao Yun took Lan Tian directly to the combat hall, where military sand tables from various places along the Yangtze River were placed. Zhuge Liang and others were discussing in front of the sand table in Jiangxia County.
"Lord, military advisor, Mr. Ziyu has arrived." Zhao Yun reported with cupped fists.
Liu Bei turned around and saw that it was Lan Tian. He walked quickly and said, "Ziyu came just in time. Huang Zu was defeated again by Zhou Yu. This man is really good at water fighting."
"Did Jiang Xia lose it?" Lan Tian asked.
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Zhou Yu defeated Huang Zu this time, and many people in Jiangxia were kidnapped. I don't know if Sun Zhongmou is okay with this. Do you really want to fight to the death for Sun Wentai?"
"Zhou Gong's Jinshui War was very powerful, but occupying Jiangxia is equivalent to declaring war with Jingzhou. With Master Liu Pan restraining him near You County, Sun Quan can only get some benefits and leave." Zhuge Liang added.
"I see you were having a heated discussion just now. What was it about?" Lan Tian looked confused.
Xu Shu pointed to the city of Jiangxia on the sand table and said: "Sun Quan and Huang Zu have been fighting each other for many years, and Cai Mao and others in Xiangyang are close to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao's thieves go south, won't they reap the benefits? My lord and Kong Ming are discussing whether to help Huang Zu fight. Zu, it is better to send someone to make peace with Sun Zhongmou. Without Huang Zu or Jiangdong's navy, defeating Cao Cao would be nothing more than a dream."
"What I mean is to fight, either to help Zhou Yu defeat Huang Zu, or to help Huang Zu defeat Zhou Yu. As long as the outcome can be determined, they won't bother." Zhang Fei said disdainfully.
Zhuge Liang added: "Sun Quan has separatized Jiangdong for three generations. If he wants to conquer the Central Plains, he must capture Jingzhou. Jiangxia is an important town along the Yangtze River. If he wants to capture Jingzhou, he must capture Jiangxia first."
"What's the opinion of the military advisor?" Lan Tian asked again.
Zhuge Liang: "My lord, if you want to divide the world into three parts, you must capture Jingzhou. No matter whether Huang Zu or Sun Quan takes Jiangxia, it will be detrimental to your lord. Huang Zu can't even defeat Zhou Yu now. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Cao's soldiers to hold on when they go south. At that time, Cao's thieves led Hebei If everyone crosses the river, both Jiangdong and Jingnan will be in vain; but if Sun Quan takes Jiangxia, he will use all his strength to resist Cao's thieves on the Yangtze River, but one day he will compete with his lord for Jingzhou..."
Lan Tian smiled and said: "I can see it. The military advisor still hopes to cooperate with Sun Quan. Do you think Huang Zu is in the way?"
"I told you when we were in Longzhong that because Cao Cao was too powerful, we and Jiangdong must join forces to fight against Cao Cao, so that we can have a chance of survival, but this Huang Zu..."
"Just wait a little longer. There will be results in Jiangxia within half a year." Lan Tian replied affirmatively, thinking that according to historical records, Sun Quan took revenge before Cao Cao went south. At this time, the bullets should be allowed to fly for a while.
Seeing Lan Tian's determination, Zhuge Liang wondered, "Could it be that Ziyu also understands astrology?"
Lan Tian shook his head and said, "I came to this conclusion through analysis. Do you still remember that in the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan besieged Jiangxia and suddenly withdrew his troops in the end?"
"I remember it was the Shanyue rebellion in Yangzhou. Could it be that there is another rebellion behind Sun Quan?" Liu Bei asked.
"The situation is different this time. Sun Quan also kidnapped the people when he left. There may be something going on behind the scenes, but it shouldn't be serious. I guess it will come back next year..." Lan Tian analyzed.
Zhuge Liang frowned, "This is completely Ziyu's guess..."
"Military Advisor, I trust Ziyu this time. You don't know how powerful his analysis is." Zhang Fei said with a naive smile.
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, "Although Ziyu is not as good as a military advisor, his analysis of the general trend of the world is very accurate."
"Then wait and see." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Let's talk about Jiang Xia later. Lan Ziyu, I heard that you made a dish of Fushouquan that the eldest son would praise to the sky. You must make it for me to try this time." Zhang Fei muttered.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "I brought the ingredients from Lingling. I can't say anything to cut off General Zhang's mouth."
"This is brother enough." Zhang Fei patted his shoulder and said affectionately.
After leaving the combat hall, Liu Bei brought Lan Tian to the back hall to meet Gan Qian. The chubby Adou was sitting on the bed playing.
"Sister, hasn't Adou learned to walk yet?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
Adou is now one year old and is supposed to be able to run around, but this child seems to prefer playing in bed.
"Adou is weak on his feet now, and he doesn't want to walk on the ground. He may need to be a little older." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he hugged Adou in his arms, looking very affectionate.
Lan Tianxin said that you have to hold on tightly so as not to fall. He asked doubtfully: "Ji'er is only eight months old now and wants to learn to stand up. Shouldn't Adou?"
Gan Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone is different. My husband and I have tried several times, but A Dou just doesn't want to walk on the ground. How about you, uncle, give it a try?"
Lan Tian nodded and took Adou from Liu Bei's arms. He shaved his pink nose and said, "Adou, uncle will help you learn to walk, otherwise your brother will laugh when he comes. If you don't obey, I will spank you." "
