Liu Bei originally wanted to appoint Lan Tian as the leader, and Guan Yu would definitely be convinced, but in the end Lan Tian refused.
Lantian himself does not admire fame, and Guan Yu has an arrogant personality. He cannot give credit to Guan Yu just because he turned things around. That would be unfair to the soldiers who fought bloody battles, and would also damage Guan Yu's prestige.
Liu Bei's Hanzhong Kingdom has no county marquis. Lantian and Zhang Fei's rural marquis are the only two that exist at present, but the food of the two rural marquises is less than 1,000.
Deng Township is located in Linwu County, Guiyang County. It is the new Dengzhuang where Xinye immigrated. The owners Li Yang and Lantian are both from Xiaopei. It is now the richest township in Linwu County. Liu Bei sealed Lantian here for a special reason. significance.
All the generals in the palace have been promoted, and there are also considerable financial rewards, which will be distributed after the division of Fa Zheng is completed, so everyone's faces are filled with smiles.
Guan Yu meditated for a long time at the table. He saw the opportunity and walked to Lan Tian. He lowered his head and whispered: "It is because of Ziyu's secret plan that everyone can gather here today. I have drank a lot just now, and now Guan has a request. I wonder if Ziyu can agree?"
"Yun Chang, please speak." Lan Tian quickly stood up. It is rare to see Guan Yu being so solemn.
Guan Yu's face was red with vicissitudes of life, and he whispered in Lan Tian's ear: "It's a foregone conclusion to go to Xiangyang for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but I have too few capable people. I wonder if Ziyu can lend me a general?"
Lan Tian was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, "You can't borrow Gao Shun, right?"
"Second brother, what did you say to Ziyu Shenmi?" Zhang Fei came over holding a wine glass.
Guan Yu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Third brother, aren't you having a drinking competition with Ling Ming?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei also walked down from the table and explained with a smile: "Yide has been ready to make a move for a long time. I think you all want to talk to Ziyu. Why are you so secretive?"
"Uh... Since Yun Chang is here first, then Yide, please wait for a while. Yun Chang might as well make it clear in front of the Lord who he wants to borrow?" Lan Tian pretended to be calm.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, looked at Zhang Fei first, then at Liu Bei, and finally frowned and said: "The further we enter the Central Plains, the more important the cavalry becomes. Jingzhou still lacks a capable cavalry general. This time Fancheng and Cao Cao are fighting. Among them, Pang Lingming’s cavalry is very outstanding, I wonder if you can lend him to me?”
After hearing this, Lan Tian and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled, but Zhang Fei muttered: "Second brother, I wanted to borrow Ling Ming, and I also think he is good. If you ask later, I will lend him to Wudu as a deputy general to cool off." Doesn’t the state also need a skilled person?”
"Third brother, don't fight with the second brother. Let's see what the eldest brother and Ziyu say first." Guan Yu quickly interrupted Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei laughed loudly: "My second brother has forgotten Ling Ming's new official position? That is the result of my discussion with Ziyu."
"General Zhengbei? Brother, you mean..." Guan Yu seemed to understand.
Lan Tian knew it was not Gao Shun, so he put his heart into his stomach. At Liu Bei's signal, he explained: "The role of the southern cavalry is limited. General Pang is considered a weakling in Jiaozhou. I suggested on the way that he be sent to the north. As for belonging to Yunchang It’s still Yide, it depends on what my brother-in-law thinks about it.”
After hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei smiled kindly: "I think it is better to put it in Jingzhou. Ma Mengqi is there with Yide. He is as familiar with Liangzhou. When the time comes, we will fully attack Yongliang. I will also lead Yizhou soldiers out of Qinchuan."
"I'm the younger brother, so naturally I can't argue with my second brother. Have you finished talking to Ziyu? I have private matters that I need to ask alone..." Zhang Fei stared at Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
"Uh..." Liu Bei was startled when he heard this.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was serious, Liu Bei pulled Guan Yu towards the main seat and said, "Second brother, let's go to the side to talk."
"Okay." Guan Yu looked back at Zhang Fei with a suspicious red face.
When Zhang Fei saw his two brothers walking away, he immediately sat cross-legged in front of the Lantian banquet table and said, "Ziyu, sit down and talk."
Lan Tian sat down in confusion and smiled awkwardly at Xu Shu next to him.
"Third General, do you need me to avoid you?" Xu Shu asked curiously.
Zhang Fei shook his head fiercely: "You don't need it, military advisor. The last time I lost a bet with Ling Ming, it was mainly because Ziyu taught him how to drive horses in the camp. Please teach me more tricks like this. Don't be stingy, military advisor."
Lan Tianxin said, good guy, is the third master so competitive? He showed a bitter smile to Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, are you going to teach Yide a lesson?"
"Ahem, is there any fixed method for facing the enemy on the battlefield? We should make countermeasures based on the actual situation, local conditions, and timely conditions. The three generals asked me to tell you in advance. Why not memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?" Xu Shu shook his head.
Zhang Fei grabbed Lan Tian's hand and refused to let go, "Ziyu, you can't favor one over another. If you make me anxious, I will go to Jiaozhou to become a general with you and defeat you along the way..."
Seeing that Zhang Fei's childish temperament was not funny, Lan Tian quickly comforted him: "Actually, the guerrilla tactics in Jiangwu Hall are very practical. Bo Ping has used this method in many actual combat drills, and Yide has even used it in real combat. Why don't you keep improving?"
"Striving for excellence? How do you say this?"
"No tactic can be a secret forever, but as long as the core idea remains unchanged, constantly changing tactics, and innovating, you can use this trick to continuously defeat your opponent. As for how to innovate, you have to practice it yourself. Yide might as well use Liang Come to the state to practice? As the saying goes, one move can be used all over the world."
"You can eat it all over the world with just one trick? You won't lie to me, will you?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and frowned.
"I can only lie to my enemies, not my own people." Lan Tian replied seriously.
Zhang Fei nodded, picked up the wine bowl and bumped it with Lan Tian, "Let's trust you again, let's have another bowl."
Lan Tian had no choice but to accept the move. Fortunately, the alcohol content was very low, just like drinking sugary water. But he had just finished drinking it when Zhang Fei came close to his ear and lowered his voice: "I remember Ziyu said that the law does not spread to the six ears. You can just tell me secretly like this."
"Um?"
Lan Tian shook his head back, showing an incredible expression.
"Ziyu asked me to go to Liangzhou to harass you, so you have to give me some practical suggestions, right?" Zhang Fei said as if he would not give up until he got an answer.
Lantian was so entangled that he couldn't get away. He was thinking about how to attack Liangzhou. Didn't I remind him before? He pinched the handle and thought carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Yes.
"Come here." Lan Tian pretended to be profound.
"Hey, that's right." Zhang Fei happily pressed his big black face towards him.
Lantian said softly: "I was watching the sky at night a few days ago and found a shining general star in the sky over Ji County. After calculation, I found that this person's name is Jiang Wei. When you go to harass Liangzhou, Yide, you can find a way to abduct this person back. He I will definitely help you capture Yongliang."
"Jiang Wei? I've never heard of it." Zhang Fei frowned.
"This person has not yet reached the crown, so it is normal that Yide has never heard of him." Lan Tian explained.
"He's still young, can he do it? Can he compare to Pang Lingming?" Zhang Fei expressed his doubts.
"Talent does not depend on age. This person is both wise and brave. If he really wanted to compare with others, he might be on par with Shi Zai."
Lan Tian smiled slightly and said to himself that Pang De was not a simple warrior. When Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao, it was Pang De who offered his advice and finally captured Chang'an easily.
"Deng Shizai is a good boy. Then I will go and catch Jiang Wei." Zhang Fei clenched his fists.
