Shi'an County is located in the southwest of Lingling County (now Guilin), and borders Yulin County and Cangwu County in Jiaozhou to the south.
After Lantian put down the Shi'an rebellion, he asked Zhang Chang to exempt taxes and promote standardized planting in the local area. Within a year, the population surged, and many of them migrated from Jiaozhou.
Liu Bei asked Lantian to recruit troops in Lingling, and Lantian's first choice was Shi'an.
Because the population of Shi'an suddenly surged, in order to alleviate local ethnic conflicts and administrative pressure, Lantian sent experienced Gan Ning to Shi'an to recruit.
Rather than farming to get enough to eat, many Yue people who were born as hunters would rather serve as soldiers to get food.
After Gan Ning went to Jiangxia to rescue Su Fei, Lan Tian took over his job and headed south to Shi'an.
He heard that Guilin's landscapes were the best in the world. He had never been here in his previous life. He could go on a business trip or go on a honeymoon, so he took Lu Lingqi with him.
At this time, there were no modern facilities in Shi'an, and the original landforms and mountains made the scenery even more pleasant.
People of all ethnic groups were busy trading in the market in the city, and there were long queues at the recruitment office outside the city. The sight of green rice in the fields under the mountains in the distance made Lantian feel happy.
After the war, there was great peace, and Shi'an was indeed developing in the ideal direction.
County Lieutenant Gao Yuan followed the two of them, "Actually, sir, there is no need to come at all. I can take care of it even if General Gan is not around."
Lan Tian saw that Gao Yuan was still wearing the trapping camp attire, but his clothes were relatively new. He asked puzzledly: "You have served as a county captain for two terms, why are you still dressed like this?"
Gao Yuan scratched his head and said: "I actually don't know how to be an official. It's just that General Gao asked me to take care of public security. I can only encourage him to do it. Your lord should understand my..."
At the beginning, Gao Shun and the eighteen people swore allegiance to Lu Lingqi, and they lived together in Mushan for more than a year. Lu Lingqi did understand Gao Yuan's straightforward character.
Now, except for him and Lu Tie, who let the county captain go, the others are still serving as military attachés in the trapped camp.
This time, among the two hundred soldiers Lantian brought to the camp, several were acquaintances of the plateau.
"Husband, once Shi'an is stable, transfer him back to the trapped camp. This guy is indeed not the material to be an official." Lu Lingqi said to Lan Tian.
"That's a pity, but of course there is no problem if Xiaojun opens his mouth." Lan Tian agreed.
"Thank you, lord, thank you, sir." Gao Yuan beamed.
"Xiaojun, the weather is clear today, why don't we go horse riding and have fun?" Lan Tian suggested.
Lu Lingqi smiled and nodded, "Okay, every trip is by boat. Let's take a good horseback ride today."
"Lord, do you want to take the two hundred traps with you?" Gao Yuan asked.
"It's a shame. My husband and I are going to play alone, so they don't have to follow us." Lu Lingqi replied proudly.
"Husband, hurry up and follow me." After speaking, Lu Lingqi rode her horse forward. After running for dozens of steps, she realized that Lan Tian had not followed.
"Here we come." Lan Tian raised his whip and chased after him.
They galloped on horses in the vast wilderness of Shi'an, feeling very comfortable while breathing the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of nature.
Not far after the two of them walked out, Gao Yuan called Lu Tie and said, "Lao Lu, sir, I asked you to take twenty cavalry and follow behind secretly. You must not let the lord discover you."
Lu Tie was also one of the eighteen people. Like Gao Yuan, he was very loyal to Lu Lingqi. Just now, Lan Tian didn't update in time because he was giving instructions on this matter. There was a precedent of Sun Ce being assassinated, so Lan Tian didn't want to take a big risk.
The horses took the two of them to a hillside full of flowers. When Lu Lingqi came here, she suddenly felt like a girl. She picked two wild flowers and put them on her head.
"Husband, do you look good?"
"Xiaojun is naturally beautiful. With this flower on your head, you really are more delicate than a flower."
Women love sweet talk. Lu Lingqi was very happy after hearing this. Lantian wanted to pick more flowers and make them into garlands, so he got busy on the hillside.
When Lan Tian climbed up the hill, he noticed something moving in the bushes behind him.
What kind of beast is it? Lantian thought there wouldn't be anything big in the bushes, so he picked up a stone and threw it in hard.
"Aye..." Someone suddenly stood up in the bushes, covering his head.
When Lantian saw that this guy was dressed like a Yue man, he thought to himself: What is this guy doing hiding in the bushes in broad daylight?
"Husband, what's wrong?" Lu Lingqi also heard a strange noise, and then called loudly not far away.
"without..."
Just when Lantian was about to say it was nothing, dozens of people suddenly stood out in the bush, and everyone was holding a shining machete in their hands.
Looking at those unkind eyes, Lan Tian thought to himself, "Hey guys, did I take Sun Ce's script?"
Lan Tian immediately ran back and shouted: "Xiaojun, go quickly..."
"Raja..."
"Bunu..."
Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, thinking why should I run? Lan Tian pulled her and ran towards the horse's position with all her strength, and the Yue people chased her menacingly.
As soon as the two men ran to the horses, more than thirty Yue people had already surrounded them.
At this time, Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian took off their swords from their horses, and they stood back to back to confront the Yue people.
"Husband, are these Yue people assassins?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"I don't know, they were hiding in the bushes behind the hill and I just hit one of them on the head with a stone," Lan Tian said.
Lu Lingqi saw that there was indeed someone covering his head and looking at them fiercely.
The leader, Yue Ren, pointed at the two men in a menacing manner and murmured loudly, which made Lantian confused.
"Maybe you want me to compensate?" Lantian guessed.
At this time, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats not far away, and Lan Tian was very happy, thinking that Lu Tie and the others were coming.
After a while, a group of unknown cavalry appeared behind the mountain. It looked like there were about forty or fifty people. Judging from their clothes, they were not soldiers from the plateau at all.
Lantian's heart tightened and he thought he was not a bandit, right?
The leading general with a black face and beard pointed at the Yue leader and shouted angrily: "Awa, I'm going to let you lie in wait here and stay motionless. Do you have any thorns under your butts?"
The leader of the Yue people lowered his head and said nothing. The black-faced general noticed Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi and immediately showed a lewd look.
It turns out that there is such a beautiful woman with such a mark, no wonder you can't stay in that bush.
After giving birth, Lu Lingqi lost some sassiness and gained more charm and beauty. In addition, she was wearing casual clothes today, which really caught people's attention.
Only then did Lan Tian know that these Yue people could understand Chinese. When he saw the dark-faced man looking wrong, he immediately knew something was wrong.
"Take down the left and right with me," the black-faced general ordered.
The two soldiers dismounted and went to get the men. With the overwhelming numbers, they never thought that Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian would resist.
A stern look flashed in Lu Lingqi's eyes. She touched Lan Tian's back lightly with her elbow. The long swords in their hands sparked a burst of cold light. They struck quickly and powerfully, causing the two miscellaneous fish to splatter blood on the spot.
Lu Lingqi's strike was accurate and heavy, and one of them was killed on the spot. Lan Tian had not practiced martial arts for a long time, so the sword just stabbed the other person.
The black-faced general sneered: "It turns out to be a fierce horse. I will accept it."
"General Lu, he is Shi'an's cavalry..." the black-faced general reminded the people around him.
While the two were talking, Lu Tie's twenty cavalrymen had already arrived. The cavalrymen trapped in the camp were so powerful that they drove out the dozens of Yue people, blocking Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi behind them.
"Lord, sir." Lu Tie said hello with clasped fists, while Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi took advantage of the opportunity to mount their horses.
The black-faced general stroked his curly beard and said with a smile: "It looks like there are still two big fish. We have made a fortune today. Surround them for me."
The opponent's infantry and cavalry have about a hundred people, five times as many as Lantian's. It will be a bloody battle.
"Who are they?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
"She seems to be from Jiaozhou." Lu Tie replied.
