The highlight moment when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army was when Zhang Fei and Fazheng finally arrived in Guangzhou.
This journey was entirely on water, and because the distance was long enough, the two northerners walked relatively slowly.
Compared with the cool climate among the mountains and on the Jinniu Road, Jiaozhou was extremely hot at the end of August. Zhang Fei often went bare-chested on the bow of the boat to cool off in the wind.
Fazheng reminded Zhang Fei many times to put on clothes, and said that Jiaozhou was remote and full of smoke and mosquitoes, and he would easily suffer from serious diseases if bitten.
Zhang Fei relied on his rough skin and thick flesh, and felt that he was on Lantian's territory, so he went in with the left ear and out with the right ear. No mosquitoes came along the way.
Zhang Fei's good luck was because Fa Zheng was worried and often stayed by his side to drive away mosquitoes.
After entering the waters of Dongting, Fazheng was amazed by the appearance of Jingnan, with its vibrant rice fields, farmers with smiles on their faces, and a small pier for boats that had been there for a few hours.
When we reach the boundaries of Lingling and Cangwu, not only are the natural scenery beautiful, but the exchanges of people are also more intensive. There are more boats than oxen and horses on the river.
The dense and smooth private traffic reflects the local economic situation.
Jiaozhou is orderly and the people's livelihood is prosperous. It is not as miasmatic as the legend says, which makes Fazheng admire Lantian even more.
Walking to the end of Yushui is the South China Sea. The fleet turns to dock at Panyu Port, and the sea breeze carries a salty smell.
Lan Tian took Jiang Wan, Gao Shun, Pang De and others to Panyu Pier to greet the distinguished guests.
Zhang Fei ran off the boat excitedly and gave Lan Tian a warm bear hug.
"Ziyu, we finally meet again." Zhang Fei patted Lan Tian on the back.
Lan Tian pushed away awkwardly and said with a smile: "Yide is still the same."
While the two were smiling and exchanging greetings, Jiang Wan, Gao Shun, Pang De, Lan Yuan and others all stepped forward, bowed their hands to Zhang Fei and Fazheng and said hello.
Zhang Fei nodded to everyone, then pointed at Lan Yuan and said in surprise: "Ziyu, Boyang has grown so tall? What did you and your wife give him? He is almost as tall as me. I will tell you later." I’ll make up for it too.”
The eldest son Zhang Bao reached adulthood last year, and the second son Zhang Shao is still young.
On the eve of Zhang Fei's expedition to Wudu, Zhang Bao married Mi Zhen's only daughter Liu Shu with the help of Mi Zhu and Liu Bei.
"Uh..." Faced with Zhang Fei's words, Lan Tian thought to himself: How can there be any effective medicine these days? Doesn't it all depend on genetics? You are so big and you are worried that your son will not grow taller?
"He grows up very fast, but his face is a bit paler. I'm afraid of getting hurt if I fight with you, but Lan Ji looks a little more like me." Zhang Fei joked with a smile.
After hearing this, Lan Tian had a wry smile on his face, thinking that Lan Ji's facial features matched Lu Lingqi's, but his bronze skin matched his own. Why are you joining in the fun, third child?
"Uncle, don't be afraid. I'm as strong as my second brother and can withstand a beating." Lan Yuan assured him, patting his chest.
Lan Yuan's appearance is exactly the opposite of Lan Ji's. Although his facial features are inherited from Lan Tian, his skin color is inherited from Lu Lingqi, making him look a bit like a pretty boy.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I treat everyone equally." Zhang Fei patted Lan Yuan on the shoulder.
When Zhang Fei heard Lan Yuan calling him second brother, he didn't even react at the time. Liu Bei usually called Guan Yu second brother, and he was always called third brother. He thought it was better to be the boss and take advantage.
Fazheng and Zhang Fei arrived in a total of five ships, three of which were full of people, and the other two had only sailors and boatmen. Zhang Fei was ready to make a fortune.
The two men had less than a hundred followers, and Zhang Fei's old subordinate Pang De sent people to welcome them off the ship and settle them down.
"The military advisor and I saw many grain-carrying ships along the way. I heard that my second brother was having a lively fight in Xiangyang? Why didn't Ziyu go and help out?" Zhang Fei said through Lan Yuan, and suddenly he thought of Guan Yu.
Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Yun Chang is already very good at using troops, so there is no need for me to add trouble. Helping him with logistics can be considered a help. In fact, Jiaozhou has been transporting grain to Changsha for a long time. Yide, you haven't fought in Hanzhong yet." Enough? I'll send you to the Xiangyang battlefield?"
"I'm joking with you, I didn't bring any weapons when I came to Jiaozhou this time. I just wanted to have a good rest. My second brother is invincible in the world, and I won't cause trouble." Zhang Fei replied cheerfully.
Everyone held back their laughter after hearing this, but the expressions on their faces did not hold back.
"Everyone, please don't stand at the pier. It's still two miles away from Guangzhou City. If we have anything to say, let's talk while walking." Lan Tian pointed to the northeast and said.
"Ah, yes, yes, military advisor, hurry up and follow me. Haven't you wanted to see Guangzhou City for a long time?" Zhang Fei reminded Fazheng.
Fazheng was chatting with Jiang Wan at this time. When he heard Zhang Fei's "nonsense", his face showed an incredible expression, thinking, "When did I say that?"
Pound's cavalry cleared the way, and the group marched toward Guangzhou City in a mighty manner. The people along the way saw that the posture was not small, and they all speculated whether some big shot was coming.
Zhang Fei had never seen the sea before. He and Lan Tian were walking ahead, asking questions all the time.
Lan Yuan followed the two men and said to himself: "The three generals are still so open-minded, and there has been almost no change over the years."
Gao Shun leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, you are really thoughtful. Zhong Ling asked General Zhang to teach you martial arts. He invited General Zhang for you. He didn't favor one over the other at all. He was really considerate."
"Uh... Actually, mother and your guidance are enough." Lan Yuan replied with a smile.
Gao Shun shook his head and said: "Only by constantly fighting against the strong can you stay strong. You must learn from Mr.'s impeccable style of doing things."
"I can save it." Lan Yuan thought thoughtfully.
In fact, Lan Tian didn't think much about it at all. Zhang Fei's main purpose in coming to Jiaozhou was to take Fazheng to see a doctor. He was at best a medicine introduction, and Lan Yuan was an unexpected gain.
Guangzhou City welcomes two distinguished guests, and a high-standard seafood feast is indispensable. Zhang Fei enjoys the feast every day.
The purpose of Fazheng's invitation was to answer questions about "Shu Ke". For this purpose, Lan Tianzhen opened a legal subject in the academy, and Jiang Wan was Fazheng's full-time receptionist.
Fazheng was very interested in the layout of Guangzhou City. Jiang Wan took him around after answering questions every day. The Education and Education Department was the first area to visit, and Guangzhou Medical College was also on the itinerary.
Lantian didn't know if Fazheng would deny medical treatment, but he still used the method Hua Tuo used to diagnose Xu Shu's pulse.
After Fazheng and Jiang Wan left, Lan Tian asked Lan Yuan to close the door and asked Hua Tuo: "Sir, how is the situation of the French military division?"
Hua Tuo understood Lan Tian's difficulties after going back and forth. He couldn't help but admire: "The king of Fu is really a god. The French military advisor does have some problems. His face is pale and lacks blood, his lips, nose, fingers, etc. are blue-purple, and his pulse is like a galloping horse." ."
"Isn't it good for thousands of horses to gallop?" Lan Tian frowned.
"The pulse is connected to the heart. It's not a good thing if the heart beats too fast." Hua Tuo shook his head.
Lan Tian suddenly realized, "How is he better than Prefect Huo? Can he still be cured?"
Hua Tuo looked solemn: "The time for taking the pulse today is too short. It would be best if you ask me about the cause of the disease so that we can prescribe the right medicine."
"Don't worry, sir, I'll tell him personally." Lan Tian made up his mind. He felt very guilty for not being able to save Huo Jun. Fazheng said he would save Huo Jun no matter what.
