Fa Zheng traveled around in Guangzhou for the past few days. Because he was in a different situation with Xu Shu and his relationship with Lan Tian was not that deep, he was skeptical about everything he saw and heard.
When visiting the medical school, he was accidentally splashed with water by an old man, so Fa Zheng returned to the post house to think over and over again, wondering if there was something big that could not happen? Maybe Lan Tian’s purpose in inviting Zhang Fei is himself?
The next morning, Lan Tian wanted to see Fa Zheng alone.
When Jiang Wan picked him up on the way to the state capital, Fazheng couldn't help but ask: "Does General Lan have something important to do when he sees me? Could it be that I was the real reason why General Zhang was asked to rest in Jiaozhou?"
"You don't have to think too much, Mr. Feng. Mr. Fu is kind to others and never has any bad intentions. Just go and see him without any worries." Jiang Wan smiled.
"What exactly is that..." Fazheng continued to ask.
Jiang Wan cupped his hands and replied: "I really can't guess the Lord's intention, but I will know it in a while."
Fa Zheng saw that Jiang Wan was unwilling to say anything, so he stopped pressing the question.
Not long after, Jiang Wan brought Fazheng to the back hall, and Gao Yuan invited the two of them in.
There was no one else in the hall except Lan Tian. Lan Yuan, the original close guard, had been encouraged by Zhang Fei in the past few days and was dragged to the school grounds by Gao Shun to practice martial arts.
"What's the habit of the military advisor these days?" Lan Tian stood up and went to greet him.
Fazheng bowed his hand and returned the greeting: "Gongyan has arranged everything well. I am quite used to the place where I live, but the climate is a bit hot and humid."
Lan Tian pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then continued: "The law department of Guangzhou Academy has just been opened. There is really no one here who is particularly knowledgeable about law, so I have to go all the way to do it."
"General, why should you be so polite? We all work for the King of Hanzhong, so it's not hard work. But do you have something important to do when you invite me here today? I guess the general's original intention is for me to come to Jiaozhou, not Zhuge's military advisor, right?" "Fazheng said meaningfully.
Lan Tian smiled slightly and said, "The military advisor is really awesome. Yesterday I was at Guangzhou Medical College with Gong Yan. The man who accidentally poured water on you was actually Hua Tuo, the medical school's sacrificial wine."
"Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor?" Fazheng was startled when he heard this. He had doubted that old man before, but he didn't expect that he was actually the legendary miracle doctor. Now that he thought about it, he looked really good.
"General, what do you mean..." Fazheng was about to speak but stopped.
Lan Tian suddenly frowned and said: "The death of Governor Huo is very sad. I was chatting with Mr. Yuanhua a few days ago, and I suddenly remembered the scene of meeting the military advisor. I am proficient in medical science, and I knew at that time that you didn't look good. I was worried that the military advisor would be in trouble, so I I used a trick to invite you to Jiaozhou. Yesterday, Mr. Yuanhua said..."
"What did Divine Doctor Hua say?" Fazheng asked anxiously.
Lan Tian pointed at the opponent's chest, "Sir, the military advisor said that the military advisor has a heart problem. The specific condition needs to be examined in detail. I wonder if the military advisor is not convenient?"
"It's convenient, of course it's convenient."
Fazheng was greatly shocked after hearing this. He said that Hua Tuo was indeed worthy of his reputation. He had long-term problems such as chest tightness, suffocation, and difficulty breathing. He had taken many medicines over the years, but as he grew older, he became more and more uncomfortable, often accompanied by inexplicable symptoms. Heartache.
"Then I'm relieved." Lan Tian immediately told Jiang Wan, "Gong Yan, please keep this matter confidential. The military advisor will leave it to you while he is in Guangzhou."
"Wei." Jiang Wan responded.
"It's a great kindness that I can't thank you enough." Fazheng was sincerely grateful.
It is common for officials to fight against each other. Fazheng had been like this with Liu Zhang before, so he had been depressed. He asked himself that he had not had much contact with Lantian, and he had not even said good things to the Dongzhou faction, but Lantian was so selfless. Help yourself.
While Fa Zheng was grateful to Lan Tian, he was also glad that he had met the Ming Lord. Only Liu Bei could bring these people together, and they were so harmonious with each other.
After Hua Tuo's detailed consultation and examination, it was finally discovered that Fa Zheng had a congenital heart problem. There is no possibility of a complete cure. He needs to take medication for many years to relieve the problem, and Hua Tuo needs to persist in practicing Wu Qin Xi.
After getting Hua Tuo's prescription, Fazheng had a life-saving talisman. He was also the first person after Gan Ning to practice Wuqinxi to relieve diseases.
After handling the matter of Fa Zheng, Lan Tian was heartbroken.
As the days passed, Zhang Fei fed Lan Yuan every day, Fazheng followed Hua Tuo except answering questions on "Shu Ke", and Lan Tian hosted banquets almost every day.
In early September, news of the flooding of the Seventh Army reached Guangzhou. The people in the city suddenly praised Guan Yu, and many merchants decorated it with lanterns and decorations as if they were celebrating the New Year.
At the suggestion of the officials, Lantian held a large banquet in the front hall of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and officials from the county and above levels in the city were invited.
The results of the Northern Expedition were as expected by Lantian, but the peak of prosperity must inevitably decline. This is where the original history of the Three Kingdoms turned.
Historically, Soochow attacked in November, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng in December, and his father and son were killed in the first month of the following year.
In order to prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies, Lantian made a lot of preparations. In addition to leaving Xu Shu in Jiangling, he also successfully preserved the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling. He even recommended Gan Ning to guard Changsha, and Su Fei to guard the police station. , the entire Yangtze River defense line is impregnable.
Last month, Guan Yu transferred Gan Ning to the front line. Lan Tian was shocked when he learned about the situation. He then made up for it and asked Xi Zhen to transfer Guiyang's garrison to the north and focus on patrolling Youxian, Chaling and other areas to prevent Lu Xun from following the plan. Line invasion, by the way, pay close attention to the news in the direction of Changsha. If Jiangdong's old disease relapses and backstabs come again, Lantian can move northward by land and water to support.
In the battle of Changsha a few years ago, Lan Tian allowed Sun Quan to lose his troops in Jingnan. He was not sure whether Lu Meng and Lu Xun had the courage to stab him in the back, but Gao Shun's athletes were always ready.
In the middle of the banquet, Gao Yuan suddenly broke in from outside the palace, walked up to Lan Tian and whispered in Lan Tian's ear.
Gao Shun saw Lan Tian frowning and asked, "Sir, what can I do?"
Lan Tian still frowned: "Tanding Zhou sent someone to report that a large number of Yue people suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Longchuan River recently. They looted villages and burned crops. Please send me troops to pacify them."
"Longchuan County has a small population. The local people are tough and difficult to control, but they won't offend the Yue people from other counties, right? Could it be that Governor Tan did something to irritate the Yue people in the direction of Luling?" Jiang Wan analyzed.
Only Lan Tian in the palace knew about Tan Dingzhou's mission. He sent him there as the governor to win over the Yue people in the southernmost part of Yangzhou. Could it be that this guy used too much force and was attacked by the Yue people in Luling?
"The specific situation will be investigated later. It is better to send troops to stabilize the public order in Longchuan County first." Lan Tian said solemnly.
"I..."
Hearing that there seemed to be a fight, Zhang Fei stood up drunkenly, only to find that the people around him were unfamiliar. Only then did he notice that the person speaking was Lan Tian, and he sat down again.
"Sir, let the trapped troops go?" Gao Shun clasped his fists.
Lan Tian shook his head and seemed hesitant, because the trapped army was left to Jiangdong, and the trapped army was overqualified to suppress the rebellion.
At this time, Shamoke cupped his fists and asked: "General, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? It's time for us Wuxi barbarians to show their faces? You guys are always moving bricks and don't know how to use a knife..."
"That's fine, remember to convince others with virtue." Lan Tian reminded with a nod.
Shamoko waved his black fist as big as a bowl, "I have always convinced others with virtue."
The interlude ended and the party continued.
Lantian had something on his mind and lost his appetite, so he walked to the back hall alone to meditate. Gao Shun followed closely behind.
"Sir, are you okay? You're just making trouble." Gao Shun asked with concern.
Lan Tian frowned, "I just don't have the appetite. Has there been any news from Hu Ke recently? Let Song Chen come see me later."
"Wei." Gao Shun nodded in response.
