"Kelp can also be transported to Wudu in autumn. If Yide enters Liangzhou to harass, please remember my previous explanation." Lan Tian followed up.
Zhang Fei nodded and replied: "I have always remembered that disturbing the officials does not disturb the people. Sooner or later, they will be my elder brother's subjects."
"Yide, after drinking this glass of wine, brother, set off immediately. Remember to drink less during the march, otherwise it will be very easy to cause trouble." Liu Bei picked up a glass of wine and handed it over.
Zhang Fei took it and drank it down, smiled and patted his chest and said, "Hey, although Zhang Zhongjing is gone, the anti-hangover pills he left are still there. If he had come up with this earlier, I wouldn't have become drunk. I lost Xuzhou, eldest brother, Ziyu, I’m gone.”
"Take care of yourself all the way." Liu Bei's tone was trembling.
Lan Tian was about to say a word of blessing, but Zhang Fei turned around and left without looking back, leaving a black figure behind the two of them.
This is not the first time Liu Bei and Zhang Fei have separated. Zhang Fei seems to be in good health and has no pain. Although Cao Zhen is in charge of Liangzhou, he may not be Zhang Fei's opponent now. I really don't know why he was so sentimental just now, especially when Zhang Fei mentioned When he arrived at Zhang Zhongjing, there was obvious dodge in Liu Bei's eyes.
Although Lan Tian remained calm, he secretly felt that Liu Bei was really abnormal.
"Kong Ming asked us to recuperate. When the time comes, he asked his second brother to send troops from Jingzhou. Gu Zai led the army out of Qinchuan to capture Yongliang. Ziyu originally agreed with Longzhong's grand strategy, but why did he let Yide go to harass Liangzhou? Is it possible? Attracting Cao Pi's heavy troops? The roads north and south of the Qinling Mountains are originally difficult, and it is not easy to get out of Hanzhong from the north." Liu Bei put away his sentiments and asked Lantian questions.
Lantian replied without thinking: "Although we are recuperating, Cao Pi is also recuperating. You must know that Wei has the land of nine states in the Central Plains, and there is little chance of success simply by fighting for supplies. Therefore, letting Yide stir up trouble in the northwest can have a draining effect on Wei. , Cao Pi hastily usurped the Han Dynasty not long after he succeeded to the throne. Now is the time when his foothold is not stable. Once troops are transferred from the Central Plains to Yongliang for reinforcements, the grain and grass corvee in various places will continue to increase."
"Ziyu deliberately prevented Wei from recuperating? Yide sent troops from Qishan Road to attack Liangzhou. It is a long-distance attack with little effect. The Wei army insists on waiting for work, but it is afraid that it will not achieve the effect of consumption..." Liu Bei frowned and shook his head.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and said: "Then it depends on Yide's ability. Before taking the Central Plains, you must first take Liangzhou. Only when you have your own horse farm can you assemble the cavalry. When the prime minister makes the compressed military rations, the supplies for long-distance raids will be guaranteed. I I think Yide will definitely give Cao Pi a headache."
"As Ziyu said, if Cao Pi really mobilizes the Central Plains army to rush to Liangzhou, he only needs to stick to the farmland to resolve it. Yide's own power may not be that big." Liu Bei still looked sad.
Lan Tian then asked someone to get a map of Hanzhong. He pointed to the roads between Qinling and Hanzhong and suggested to Liu Bei: "In addition to Qishan Road in the west, there are also Chencang Road, Baoxie Road and Ziwu Valley from Qinchuan in the north. Xiaodao, after the prime minister's compressed military rations are delivered to the front line, my brother-in-law can order General Wenchang to send scouts to Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road, and ask Yide to send scouts to Chencang Road to act as suspects, and then send people to Guanzhong to spread rumors that he plans to attack in Guanzhong. Another channel of water will be opened between Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road."
"Open another one? Ziyu wants to confuse Cao Zhen and Cao Pi?" Liu Bei asked.
Lantian nodded and replied: "If there are no flowers on the tree, we will decorate it with fake flowers. This is a plan to make the trees bloom. We have to create a momentum to leave Qinchuan in the north. Cao Zhen must station troops on all five roads leading to Yongliang." , This not only disperses the strength of the Wei army, but also increases its supply consumption, so the pressure on Yide is much reduced."
"Hiss...the trees are blooming..." Liu Bei paced back and forth thinking.
"This is just my rough idea. Brother-in-law can call a few military advisers to discuss it. Maybe we can improve it on this basis. In short, we have to use smaller consumption to cause greater consumption to the Wei State and not give them equal opportunity to recuperate. Opportunity." Lan Tian said in a deep voice.
Liu Bei nodded, "That makes sense. Gu Huitou summoned Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, and Xiao Zhi."
"If it really puts pressure on Wei's western front and lets Yunchang send troops from Jingzhou to pretend to attack,
Let's see how Cao Pi responds. "Lantian added.
"Very good. Cao Pi is sitting on the nine states in the north. We can contain as many states as we can. The territory left by Cao Cao to Cao Pi is too wide. It is really difficult to hurt the opponent's vitality." Liu Bei frowned.
"Cao Pi is rebellious and will be punished by heaven. Based on the intelligence analysis I have obtained, I believe that there is likely to be a severe drought in the north this year. The drought will be accompanied by locust plagues and epidemics. God is protecting us and Han Zuo." Lan Tian was confident.
"Is this true?" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. He rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, and murmured, "Ziyu is proficient in agriculture and is naturally familiar with the weather. It seems that Cao Pi did not have that many good days."
"Brother-in-law, please don't be too happy. Based on my many years of farming experience, there may be severe drought in the north and flooding in the south. I have made arrangements for Jingnan and Jiaozhou. There are many plains in northern Jingzhou and large rivers that can carry water, but there are many in Yizhou." There are high mountains and valleys, so the military governors must pay attention to it, and it is best to move the people out of dangerous areas and centralize management." Lan Tian reminded seriously.
"Ziyu reminded you in time, so I will let the prime minister make arrangements this afternoon." Liu Bei nodded solemnly, and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Wan'er is a new wife, and I want my younger siblings to teach me patiently. Will she serve you and your younger siblings tea this morning?" ?”
Lan Tian nodded and replied: "Brother-in-law, you can rest assured. I also watched Wan'er grow up. She is a good girl who is polite and sensible. But she will return to Jiaozhou with Boyang. Will you and sister be reluctant to leave her?"
"Wan'er marries into the Lan family and gets married. Reading is the queen's wish for many years. Even if she is reluctant to give up, she will feel relieved." Liu Bei smiled kindly.
"I can rest assured that."
"By the way, the queen mentioned you this morning, so I will take you to meet her."
Liu Bei couldn't help but pull Lan Tian towards Xianying Palace.
Lan Tian was a little surprised to see Gan Qian, because she looked much worse than yesterday. Although she was a little sad to have just married her daughter, Lan Tian's relationship with her should not be like that of outsiders.
After the siblings exchanged a few pleasantries, Gan Qian suddenly asked: "I heard Boyang tell me that the kelp cultivated by Ziyu in Jieyang seems to be harvestable in May?"
"That's about that time. I'll send some to Chengdu then. Sister can try it and see how the artificially cultivated kelp is different from wild kelp." Lan Tian replied with a smile.
"Ziyu's agricultural achievements are unparalleled in the world. The kelp you cultivate will definitely be fine. With Xuande's help, why should Xuande worry about big things? I remember you said when you were in Xinye that you would grow thousands of miles of land for Xuande?" Gan Qian said with a smile on her face. Smile.
"I did say this. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and the world can be dug out with a hoe." Lan Tian remembered telling Lu Lingqi, thinking that it was his wife who told Gan Qian.
"Okay, Brother Tian has been cultivating improved grain varieties. Everywhere he goes, he promotes planting techniques, builds water conservancy projects, and builds granaries. You have always fulfilled your promise. Will you guide the kelp harvest in Jieyang?"
Gan Qian suddenly changed the subject, which made Lan Tian feel a little wary. He thought to himself, "Sister, what does she mean?" What he said seemed to be driving me away?
"Uh... Actually, that's not necessarily true. I left dozens of agricultural researchers in Jieyang and taught them all the methods of harvesting kelp."
