Liu Bei didn't want Liu Li to marry Lan Qing, and Lan Tian didn't want his daughter to become a political bargaining chip, but after returning home, he still asked his daughter how she felt.
Lan Qing has been close to Lan Tian since she was a child. She was influenced by advanced ideas and did not like the life in the palace. She still missed the freedom of Guangzhou. Lan Tian then made a plan.
Also during the Chinese New Year, Liu Bei remembered that Samoko had made great contributions to setting up Rinan and Pingnan barbarians, so he summoned him and Lu Tie to the palace to meet the saints.
Shamoko was over sixty at this time, and his temples and beard were all mottled. Liu Bei was grateful for his outstanding contributions and wanted to keep Shamoko to spend his old age in the capital. However, Shamoko was worried about his tribe and was not used to the cold climate in the north. , asked Liu Bei to let him return to his hometown to live, and named him Marquis of Chenyang.
When Liu Bei saw the truth of Samoko's words, he always felt that he should return to the barbarian tribe. The court seemed a little sorry, so he asked Lan Tian to do his work again.
A few days later, Lan Tian entered the palace and returned to Liu Bei, expressing that Shamoko really wanted to return to his hometown to retire, and intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Lan Qing.
"You want to send Qing'er back to Guangzhou to study medicine? Ziyu's work is really unexpected, but you and your siblings are in the capital now, and she has not yet reached the age of hairpin. Who will take care of her life in Guangzhou? I have chosen Prince Liang. The first relative is the daughter of Shangshu Deng Bomiao (Deng Zhi)." Liu Bei was reminding Lantian not to send his daughter to Guangzhou just because of the queen's words.
Lan Tian smiled slightly: "When Qing'er was still young, I coaxed her to sleep and told her a story. The content was that a girl disguised herself as a boy to go to school. As a result, the students in the same school did not find out for several years. Unexpectedly, the child actually got interested and shouted for her. She dressed up as a man and went to medical school. Mr. Hua once praised her for being very talented and personally taught Qing'er medical skills for a period of time. Now that Mr. Hua is on his deathbed, Qing'er wants to go back and see him one last time."
Liu Bei thought that Hua Tuo was over eighty years old. He thought he could live a long time, but he did not expect that he had the same fate as Huang Zhong. He sighed and replied: "Mr. Hua has made great contributions to the country. I don't know how to reward him. Since Qing'er and my husband have a master-student relationship, so I don't have much advice, but who will escort her to Guangzhou? Who will take care of her when she gets there? Should I issue an edict to Jiang Wan?"
Lan Tian quickly waved his hand: "Isn't General Sha already ready? Boping will take care of Qing'er in Guangzhou. In addition, I also want Xueming (Song Chen) to go to Guangzhou." (Song Chen was originally wordless, because he once used the pseudonym Wu Yong, Song Jiang, take one word each from Xuexue and Gongming)
"The four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan have just been conquered. Ziyu's Da Sinong Mansion should be very busy. Why send out capable generals at this time?" Liu Bei looked puzzled.
"It is precisely because the world is about to be settled that the Da Si Nong Mansion wants to coordinate the world's money, food, finance and taxation, so it needs to flood the local area with talents, especially talents in agriculture. I sent Xueming to Jiaozhou to select people." Lan Tian said truthfully. answer.
"Yes, yes, if the grain and grass supplies needed for the Northern Expedition are transported from Yizhou and Jiaozhou, the losses will be too great. It is more convenient to farm on the spot. I heard that there are magical rice seeds in Jiaozhou. Ziyu must arrange it as soon as possible." Liu Bei Nod straight.
Lan Tian clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these are all within my plan. In addition, the current wars are concentrated in the north. I suggest that the Huben Martial Arts Hall be moved to Chang'an or Luoyang, and the navy army can be left in the Huben Martial Arts Hall in Guangzhou."
"Good." Liu Bei nodded lightly, then frowned and asked: "Ziyu wants Gao Boping to take care of Qing'er? What about after the Huben Martial Arts Hall moves?"
"Boping is of the same age as Your Majesty. He has adapted to the climate of Guangzhou over the years, so why not let him die in the south? Lu Tie is one of the teachers of Huben Martial Arts Hall and can help establish His Majesty's new Martial Arts Hall." Lan Tian replied .
"Although General Lu is fierce, his physical disability is inconvenient after all. Didn't Ziyu ask him to be the new general of the prison?" Liu Bei was very curious.
"How could it be? Your Majesty has so many generals. After the Wei Kingdom is eliminated in the future, you don't need to keep them all to guard the border. Your Majesty can choose any general to take charge of the affairs of Wutang." Lan Tian smiled slightly.
Liu Bei nodded lightly, "Ziyu was very thoughtful. The logistics of the Northern Expedition to destroy Wei will be left to you and Kong Ming. In addition, Boyang discovered the details of overseas aliens in Qingzhou. After interrogation, he found out that they were from his old rival Sun Quan. Do we need to build cross-sea warships and cultivate a naval force for cross-sea operations?"
"Boyang also told me that the island where Sun Quan fled was full of barbarians. When His Majesty conquers the world and covers all the seas, it is necessary to build a strong navy. But it is too early now. Let them fend for themselves first. They can't afford anything. Stormy.”
Lantian didn't take the exiled Sun Quan seriously at all. With the relatively primitive shipbuilding technology of the Japanese, going to sea was basically a gamble on luck. If there was a big storm, the regiment would be wiped out, let alone daring to provoke the big man.
"I am also confident." Liu Bei nodded.
After Lan Yuan stayed in the capital for a few months, he returned to Langya to continue his duties as governor. Song Chen selected hundreds of students from Zhuya Agricultural College and Guangzhou Academy. After receiving simple 'training' at Da Sinong Mansion, they became like dandelions. They all drifted towards the Central Plains.
Excellent seeds such as Champa rice and high-yield corn were brought to their respective counties by agricultural students.
Although Qing, Xu, Yu, Yan and other prefectures had just experienced war and turmoil, they sprouted vigorous vitality when the grass seedlings and millet seedlings grew vigorously. Lan Tian was using his own practical actions to fulfill his dream of planting thousands of miles of land for Liu Bei. oath.
At the end of the second year of Yanyao, as Rinan County gradually expanded to the south, the local people gradually came into contact with the neighboring Funan Kingdom. Fan Zhan, the king of Funan, learned that the Han Dynasty was powerful and invincible, so he sent envoys to Chang'an for several years to pay tribute and make good friends. Liu Bei followed Lantian's suggestion. , sent Song Chen as envoy to Funan Kingdom.
In June of the third year of Yanyao, General Pang De of Pingxi recaptured Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang. The remnants of Wei Cao Zhen's troops fled into the Western Regions. Soon after, he died of illness in Yiwu, and the countries in the Western Regions learned that Liu Bei had taken over the world.
Due to civil strife in the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty, ironware, silk, agricultural tools and other items from the Central Plains were unable to flow into the Western Regions through trade, which had a huge impact on the production and life of the local people. Therefore, the countries in the Western Regions prepared sufficient tributes and made an appointment to enter Dunhuang from Yumen Pass, requesting Chang'an to pay an audience. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty also sought to reopen the border for mutual trade.
In December of the third year of Yanyao, Guan Yu mobilized soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, Xu, Yu, and Yanzhou to approach the Yellow River. The warships from Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou also gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The troops of Guan Yu and Gan Ning crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin to the north and attacked Liyang where Cao Hong's main force was located. Zhao Yun and Lu Xun crossed the river from Gaotang to attack the plains.
On the western front, Zhang Fei originally faced off with Xu Huang at Pu Ban, but due to the terrain restrictions, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He could not find any loopholes for two years. In the end, he could only write to the military advisers in Chang'an for advice.
Later, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei, Ma Dai and Jiang Wei, use suspicious troops to build momentum and secure Xu Huang at Puban Pass. He ordered Zhang Fei to abandon entering Bingzhou from Hedong County and instead attack Bingzhou Shangdang from the northeast of Hanoi County around the west side of Jizhou.
Because Chaoge's garrison was transferred by Cao Hong, and the Bingzhou garrison's attention was focused on Xu Huang, Zhang Fei encountered almost no resistance along the way.
Deng Ai escorted the transportation of grain and military provisions. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao first captured Shangdang and then attacked Taiyuan. Liang Xi, the governor of Bingzhou, died in the battle. General Xiahou Mao surrendered in desperation.
When Zhang Fei appeared behind Pu Ban, Xu Huang knew that he had fallen into the Han army's plan. He looked in the direction of Yecheng and bowed with sadness, and then jumped down the pass tragically.
