Zhuge Liang became a little worried after hearing this: "If Bu Zhi wants to seize Jiaozhou, he must secretly investigate all the forces. Previously, Lu Sima only had 800 garrison troops. Ziyu rashly led a thousand people south, and he might be discovered by spies from Jiangdong. I hope Ziyu can be more cautious. Now that the three-legged alliance has not yet been established, the Sun-Liu alliance cannot be destroyed. Lord, should we send someone to remind us?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "You three military advisors can rest assured. Ziyu is very cautious. I have full confidence in this, so I don't need to remind you anymore. He has never let me down."
While everyone was discussing Jiaozhou, Lan Tian had already rushed to Bushan as quickly as possible. He first arranged for Hua Tuo to perform surgery on Lu Tie.
The weather was extremely hot. When Hua Tuo was undergoing surgery, several disciples came with him. Some were responsible for wiping his sweat, while others handed him objects and fanned him. The scene was similar to the operating room in later generations.
Food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. Here in Lantian, information goes first before the soldiers and horses are moved.
Considering the complicated situation in Jiaozhou, he did not bring all the troops into Jiaozhou. He only took a hundred people with Hua Tuo and others to Bushan first, and the remaining soldiers stayed in Shi'an and were led by Plateau.
As long as Bu Zhao does not openly start a war, Lantian has no intention of calling on this elite army.
In the scorching summer, the cicadas chirp ear-splittingly.
Gan Ning came to Lantian with his upper body naked, sighed and said, "I went over and asked Yuanhua's disciples just now. Lu Sima's life can be saved, but because two gunshots pierced the leg bones, his right leg should have been disabled. , I can no longer ride horses on the battlefield..."
"War is so cruel..." Lan Tian looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ru Sima fought bravely. I heard that he was one of the eighteen generals trapped in the camp. If he really couldn't go to the battlefield, how boring would the rest of his life be? If I had such a day, maybe I wouldn't want to live such a useless life..." Gan Ning continued .
Lan Tian shook his head and said: "It is valuable to live by one's beliefs, but one should not despise one's own life if he survives gloriously after being injured in battle. Who has never been frustrated? Even if Lu Tie cannot go to the battlefield in the future, he can still do something Something else.”
"Sir, Lu Sima will never be able to walk again." Gan Ning reminded.
"So what if you can't walk? Who can walk from birth? A Dou couldn't walk at first, so I had to use a walker..." Lantian said about a walker, and inspiration came to his head immediately. I gave him Just make a wooden wheelchair? On TV, Kong Ming always appears in a car.
"Sir, do you have an idea?" Gan Ning asked.
Lantian nodded and said, "When we get back, let the carpentry workshop make a wooden cart for Lu Sima. It will not affect his ability to move around."
Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Sir, you always come up with good ideas."
The matter of Lu Tie being plotted cannot just be forgotten. Have you contacted the person I asked you to contact now? Lan Tian asked with a frown.
Gan Ning nodded, "This guy has become a big businessman in Jiaozhou in the past two years. He often travels to various counties for business and trade. He doesn't go back to Shi'an to collect grain and rice very often. However, my people have already contacted him, so he should be there soon." He will rush to Bushan."
"Where are the two brothers Usdin and Ushei?" Lan Tianxin asked, weren't these two guys responsible for supervision?
"These two brothers are very loyal to us, but after Abu became powerful, they couldn't supervise them at all. Now Abu already has a Yue caravan of 300 people, Usdin is still stranded in Jiaozhi, and Ushei is in Nanhai County. When I heard about the arrival of my husband, Bushan rushed back quickly..." Gan Ning reported.
"From the first moment I saw Abu, I knew that he was not a simple Yue. Although this man was somewhat ambitious, how could a monkey escape from the palm of Buddha's hand..." Lan Tian's eyes were firm.
Gan Ning looked confused, thinking, what is Monkey Buddha?
"Why don't you put on a shirt? Have you forgotten that you were almost bitten to death by a poisonous insect last time?" Lan Tian suddenly remembered that Gan Ning was naked.
Gan Ning scratched his head and said, "What should I be afraid of when a Chinese miracle doctor comes with me? Besides, the Qinghao pills are very effective. There are some left over from the 500 pills allocated to Governor Lai last time, and the rest were secretly resold by his brother-in-law, Lu Tan." Already..."
"This Lu Tan is not very capable, but he is good at engaging in these evil ways. Does this guy think that our Qinghao Pills are easy to refine? In the future, we must strictly review and control the distribution. These life-saving pills cannot be used for profit by some people." "Lantian hates corrupt and traitorous officials, but it has been unable to be cured for thousands of years.
As the people of Jingnan gradually recovered, Lantian planned to deter corruption, and relying on postal supervision in the administrative system was not enough.
"What about Lu Tan..." Gan Ning asked.
Lan Tian shook his head, "Although Governor Lai has taken refuge with the lord, Jiaozhou has nothing to do with us in name. We just need to take the time to remind him. After all, he is his brother-in-law, so he always has to give some face..."
Gan Ning smiled and said, "Sir, do you know where the Qinghao Pills sold by Lu Tan went?"
"Huh?" Lan Tian was a little confused.
"Secretly bought by Abu's caravan, this guy made a lot of money with those dozens of Qinghao pills. This time he agreed to come to Bushan, mainly to discuss business with Mr. Gan Ning said meaningfully.
Lan Tian suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this is good... this is very good..."
Gan Ning thought Lan Tian would be angry, but he didn't expect him to be so happy and not displeased because Abu was so out of control.
Are problems that can be solved with money still a problem?
As long as the desire and greed in Abu's heart remain unchanged, Lantian can still take advantage of the situation.
After Lu Tiezhong was seriously injured in an ambush, Lai Gong was worried that Wu Ju would take the opportunity to attack Yulin again, so he fortified the water and land routes east of Bushan.
Hearing that a general from Lingling was visiting Bushan, Lai Gong thought it was Gan Ning or Gao Shun, so he hurried back on his way to Hua Tuo's surgery.
After meeting Gan Ning in front of the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, Lai Gong's heart dropped. At least he didn't have to worry about Wu Ju coming again. The General Gan in front of him was a fierce general. The last time he defeated the opponent, he was unable to fight back.
"If General Gan arrives in time, Lu Sima's revenge will be avenged." Lai Gong panted and complimented.
Gan Ning smiled and said, "Sir is here too, let's go in and see him."
"General Lan? That's great." Lai Gong was overjoyed.
Lan Tian was standing in the corner and gesticulating. It was a simple sand table that he and Gan Ning made temporarily. He liked to analyze the situation in this way.
"I've met General Lan." Lai Gong asked in a loud voice.
"General Lai is back, come here and let's talk about the last ambush." Lan Tian waved his hand.
Lai Gong walked closer and saw the mountains and rivers of Jiaozhou on the sand table. Before he could be surprised, Lan Tian pointed to a place and said, "Is this where Lu Sima is hiding?"
"It turned out that I proposed to meet in Hepu, but Wei Ziqi said that Hepu was too far and there was no waterway, so he suggested that the three families meet in Linyun County. We took a boat and walked to Duanxi, but because the river was blocked, we took the land route, and then we met in Yun Kaishan was ambushed..."
On the pretext of mediating the relationship between Lai Gong and Wu Ju, Sun Quan sent Bu Zhao and his troops to Panyu in Nanhai County. Because Nanhai was far away from Hepu Jiaozhi, the prefect Shiwu had no choice but to rely on Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu. Now he did not dare to stroke the tiger's beard in Jiangdong. , so he chose to surrender to Sun Quan secretly.
Cangwu has close exchanges with Nanhai. Wu Ju was defeated in Bushan last time, and now he found that something was wrong with the soldiers.
Sun Quan wanted to occupy Jiaozhou, but the governor of Jiaozhou could not get through. Wu Ju planned to use Bu Zhi's help to get rid of Lai Gong, so he secretly revealed his intention to join Bu Zhi.
After understanding the situation in Jiaozhou, Bu Zhi formulated a strategy of gradually breaking through the mountains and shaking the tigers. He asked his friend Wei Jing to hold a banquet in Linyun, invited Cangwu prefect Wu Ju and Lai Gong to the banquet, and secretly bribed Yi Liao and Yiliao who were near Yunkai. Qian Bo asked him to intercept Lai Gong halfway.
If Lai Gongzhong lays down and dies, Bu Zhao can take over Jiaozhou naturally. If Lai Gong survives by chance, he should not be able to keep the appointment on time, and Jiangdong can take advantage of the situation to create conflicts.
After listening to the details of Zhongfu, Lan Tian repeatedly knocked on the sand table in front of him, thinking that this step was not a reckless man, he knew how to play some tricks.
"As Governor Lai failed to keep the appointment, does Bu Zishan have any follow-up measures?" Lan Tian asked again.
"Bu Zishan wrote a letter in the name of Sun Cheqi to reprimand him. Bandits were rampant in Yanjiao Prefecture under my rule, and the threat was beyond words..." Lai Gong smiled bitterly.
Lan Tian snorted coldly: "If Sun Zhongmou wants to resist Cao Cao, he will not allocate too many troops to the infantry. Although there are not many troops stationed in Jiaozhou, how can he successfully succeed with just his few people..."
"Shi Wu obviously has two or three thousand soldiers, but he surrendered to Wu Ju first and then Bu Zhi. He is really a capricious villain." Lai Gong shook his head in disappointment.
"The Shijia occupies half of Jiaozhou, but the South China Sea is far away from Jiaozhi after all. The Shiwu are just to get some benefits from the South China Sea for the Shijia. It doesn't matter who is the master. The key is to completely control the Jiaozhou Shijia." Lan Tian analyzed.
"Now that both the Shi family and Wu Ju have the intention to defect to Jiangdong, and the general cannot directly mobilize troops from Jingnan to destroy the alliance, aren't we being passively beaten by the hostility of the three families?" Lai Gong asked.
Lan Tian shook his head, "The Shi family is a wealthy family in Lingnan. As long as the family's interests are not violated, they can't really surrender. As for Wu Ju's soldiers, they are no more than chickens and dogs. I have to find a way to disintegrate them..."
"Gongquan, please listen to the general's arrangements. Please feel free to handle the military affairs here." Lai Gong said sincerely.
Lan Tian nodded and said: "Bury all the soldiers who died in the ambush. Don't stop the funeral at this time. Remember to pay more pensions to your family. If it is not enough to pay to the state treasury, I will transfer some money and food from Lingling later... .”
"That's enough, that's enough. I'll do it now." Lai Gong turned around and walked out of the hall.
Gan Ning saw Lai Gong off and came back and asked, "Sir, have you thought of any countermeasures?"
Lan Tian shook his head, "I already have some ideas, but they still need to be considered. Abu and the others will tell me in time when they arrive. The water in Jiaozhou is not muddy enough yet. I think they can stir it up a little more."
Gan Ning couldn't understand why this cunning Yue person was allowed to disrupt the situation?
"Let's go, the effect of Ma Fei Powder has passed, let's go see Lu Sima..." Lan Tian said.
"only."
Hua Tuo and his disciples worked hard for three hours before cleaning Lu Tie's wounds, applying medicine and finally completing the sutures. At this time, they were sitting paralyzed outside the house, fanning themselves to relieve the heat.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuanhua..." Lan Tian walked to the door and nodded in greeting.
"It should be..." Although Hua Tuo was over sixty years old, he was the first among his disciples to stand up when he saw Lan Tian. The other disciples also stood up one after another after seeing Lan Tian, sweat dripping down his back. whereabouts.
Lan Tian quickly waved his hand and said: "You are all heroes, there is no need to stand up and salute..."
"There is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, which is what is expected." Hua Tuo cupped his hands and said modestly.
"It seems that Wuqinxi is very useful. Mr. Yuanhua will teach me when he is free." Lan Tian said with a smile.
"I am happy to oblige. Although everyone is a little tired, fortunately, Lu Sima saved his life and will wake up in a moment..." Hua Tuo nodded.
"Rusima..." Lan Tian asked.
Hua Tuo sighed: "I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, and Lu Sima was the one who was injured the most. He survived because his vital parts were not injured, but his right leg can no longer be saved..."
"It's not easy to survive..."
"Lu Sima is awake..." Before Lan Tian could finish his words, Hua Tuo's disciple's call came from inside the room.
Lan Tian and Gan Ning looked at each other, then walked into the house one after another.
The room where Lu Tie was located was ventilated on all sides. Hua Tuo arranged for his disciples to take turns fanning themselves to cool off the room, and also to drive away mosquitoes that flew into the room.
"Sir..." Lu Tie wanted to say something, but Lan Tian hurriedly stopped him: "Have a good rest and don't talk. If you have a problem, I really don't know how to explain it to Bo Ping."
Hua Tuo took Lu Tie's pulse and nodded and said, "The pulse is gentle and steady. He only needs to rest for a few months to recover..."
"I...I have embarrassed the trapped troops..." Lu Tie said a few words with difficulty.
Lan Tian shook his head, "It's good to be trapped in the camp, and it's even better for you, Lao Lu. This matter won't end like this, and I will give you an explanation."
"Sir..." Lu Tie's eyes were bulging on his thin face, and he was filled with tears like an alien.
"Mr. Yuanhua, I'll ask you and your disciples to observe more diligently, and I will record military merits for you when we return to Quanling." Lan Tian said gratefully.
Hua Tuo was startled when he heard this and quickly said: "This is what we should do. General, you don't have to be like this..."
"I never break my promise, Xingba, let's go first." Lan Tian glanced at Lu Tie, turned around and walked out of the ward.
On the way back to the Governor's Mansion, Lan Tian specifically asked: "Remember to remind me when I return to Quanling to mark the military merits of Mr. Yuanhua and the apprentices of the Medical College."
"Sir, I just wanted to tell you that there seems to be no precedent for honoring doctors with military merits..." Gan Ning reminded.
"Then let's set this precedent. When soldiers charge into battle and behead people, they perform meritorious service. Doctors who treat illnesses and save lives also perform meritorious service." Lantian said sonorously.
"But none of them have military status..." Gan Ning shook his head.
"Then register them with military status and establish a specialized medical army. They can also be made generals based on their merits." This is not a problem for Lan Tian. He knows that as long as he knows how to change, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Gan Ning was shocked when he heard this and thought that this idea was too bold.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I will personally advise the lord on this matter." Lan Tian said.
Gan Ning smiled bitterly: "No matter what you do, sir, I won't be surprised, but if it really turns out like this, I don't know how many people will go to study medicine..."
"The world is sick and needs more doctors..." Lan Tian said meaningfully.
It was a hot night, so Lantian had a simple dinner and sat on the steps outside the temple to enjoy the cool air and watch the stars.
There was no light pollution in that era, and the sky was full of stars every night. Lantian looked at the southern sky and saw a star shining with silvery-white light. It was Spica, located in the constellation Virgo, and it was also the first star in the Qinglong Seven Constellations in the East. star.
At this time, Deng Fan, who was accompanying him, also quietly sat next to Lan Tian.
Deng Fan asked in a low voice: "Sir...are you...gazing at the stars?"
Lantian pointed to the shining star and said: "That star is called Jiaoxing, whose full name is Jiaomujiao. It is the head of the twenty-eight stars."
"Oh..." Deng Fan seemed to understand.
Corner star, first?
Lan Tian suddenly had an inspiration. To solve the chaos in Jiaozhou, decapitation would be a good way. As long as Bu Zhao was assassinated without leaving any trace, Jiaozhou would return to its previous state, and he could even reap some benefits.
Although Lan Tian had no enmity with Bu Zha, Lu Tie was almost killed by this guy's scheme. According to the words of the gods on the list of gods, he was infected with karma, and Lan Tian had to put an end to this karma.
Although the trapped soldiers are brave, they are not suitable for assassination work.
Follow Sun Shiwan's example and directly play backstab? But this would expose themselves. It would be inappropriate to fall out with Soochow before Liu Bei occupied Yizhou. After all, they still needed to share the attack from the north.
"Sir, what kind of star is that?" Deng Fan suddenly became excited.
Lan Tian looked up and saw a meteor with a long tail, slowly crossing the sky. It turned out to be a rare comet.
"This is a comet...a broom star..." Lan Tian explained.
"The broom star means...what...celestial phenomena?" Deng Fan asked again.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "The broom star is an evil star. If you see it, there will be war or natural disasters."
"Ah? Then... what should we do?" Deng Fan was startled.
"Are there not enough wars and natural disasters now? These are all superstitions..." Lan Tianxin said that they were all superstitions, but when he mentioned superstitions, he was inspired again.
The next day Lai Gong visited Lu Tie and came to see Lan Tian. He said with an anxious look: "General, Lu Sima is very disheartened when he knows that his right leg is useless. He hasn't eaten anything today. If he hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, I would have been there." He died in Yun Kaishan, I really can’t bear to see him so depressed, why would it be inconvenient for the military to persuade him?”
"Where's Gan Xingba?" Lan Tian asked.
"I mentioned this to him just now and it was already over in advance..." Lai Gong replied in a low voice.
"It's normal to feel a little disappointed after ups and downs. I'll go talk to him." Lan Tian nodded.
"It would be great if the general goes." Lai Gong was overjoyed.
When I came to the room where Lu Tie was recovering from his injuries again, I saw Gan Ning standing next to him with a depressed look on his face. The rice porridge on the table next to Lu Tie remained untouched.
Gan Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I told Lao Lu about making wooden wheels, but he still said he had no appetite..."
Lan Tian walked over to look at the porridge, and then looked at Lu Tie with embarrassment, and then slowly said: "Is this rice porridge not to your liking? I'm going to get you some corn buns and some dried radish? At this time But you can’t give big fish and big meat..."
"Sir, I'm not here to eat, I just feel unhappy. The momentum of charging means advancing but not retreating. The ambition of being trapped means death but not life. Now I am a useless person. I can't stay in the trapped army in the future. That would be the same as death. No matter what the difference is, I have no face to see the young lady, no face to see General Gao, no face to see those seventeen brothers of life and death..." Lu Tie said sadly.
"Who can fight in wars for a lifetime? Who can hold a gun for a lifetime? General Gan can't do it, and General Gao can't do it either. People will grow old one day. Lao Lu, don't think too much. I'll leave you with important things to do in the future." Lantian comforted.
Lu Tie shook his head, "I am a disabled person now. Even if I can walk with the help of a wooden cart in the future, what can I do? Sir, please stop comforting me..."
Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Lao Lu, you are one of the eighteen generals of the trapped army. Even if you can no longer charge into the battle, your experience can be passed on to the new recruits. The soldiers of the solid camp will be replaced frequently. I’m going to make the martial arts hall look like Quanling Academy, how about you go and give me some wine?”
"Ah? I...how can I be so virtuous and capable? General Gan and General Gao are about the same..." Lu Tie hesitated and seemed surprised.
"How can they stay in the martial arts hall for a long time when they still need to lead the army in battle?" Lan Tian shook his head.
"But I am really powerless, and I am afraid that I will betray my husband's trust..." Lu Tie's eyes flickered and he hesitated.
Lan Tian suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Lu Tie."
"Yes." Lu Tie couldn't help himself.
"I appoint you as the first priest of the Martial Arts Hall to carry out the order." Lantian said solemnly.
"Wei." Lu Tie answered instinctively.
Lan Tian winked at Deng Fan, and Deng Fan immediately ran to the bed, picked up the bowl of porridge and leaned over.
"Drink porridge now." Lan Tian still ordered.
"Wei." Lu Tie had tears in his eyes at this time.
While Deng Fan was feeding Lu Tie porridge, Lan Tian immediately walked out of the ward with his sleeves fluttering. Lu Tie ate the bowl of cold porridge with tears in his eyes. Gan Ning and Lai Gong followed him out with red eyes.
A leader like Lan Tian is so rare. He knows what method to use to deal with certain people, and the key is to convince them.
"Sir, talk about martial arts..." Gan Ning hesitated before speaking.
Lan Tian: "I have actually been thinking about this for a long time. Since Quanling College is going to add a Confucian subject, we can send the recruited recruits to the Martial Arts Hall to complete basic training first, and then arrange them in each military camp."
"It's easy to recruit a small number of people. Once the number of recruits increases, I'm afraid the Quanling Academy won't be big enough. Will the classes in the Martial Arts School still be held?" Gan Ning said.
"Of course it will continue and be included in the new martial arts hall. As for the training venue, there is no need to worry about it. Do we need to build a house for marching and fighting?" Lan Tian asked with a smile.
Gan Ning shook his head, "No need, what does this have to do with the martial arts hall?"
"The martial arts hall is a place for training soldiers and training officers. Just find a piece of land to set up camp outside Quanling. It will be easier to relocate such a martial arts hall." Lan Tian replied with a smile.
"Wonderful, why didn't I think of it?" Gan Ning said in surprise.
Lai Gong complimented from the side: "If everyone were like General Lan, the world would have been settled long ago..."
After Lu Tie opened his heart, he cooperated very well with Hua Tuo's subsequent medication, and his complexion gradually improved after his food intake recovered. He would no longer be distressed by becoming a cripple, because he knew that he still had the meaning of existence, and learned from Gao Shun. He learned a lot of military training skills, which will finally be put to use in the future.
Yunkai Mountain, where Yi Liao and Qian Bo are entrenched, is within the territory of Cangwu. Lantian cannot directly lead troops to suppress it yet. Only Abu, Wusdin, Wushei and others can open up the situation.
Five days after Lantian arrived in Jiaozhou, Abu rushed to Bushan with gifts.
When I met Abu again, I saw that he was now radiant and finally looked like a patriarch. He wore many gold and silver ornaments on his body and was no longer as slovenly as before.
The ugly duckling turned into a swan. Is Abu planning to take off?
