Chapter 35 Lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai
Most women in this era have to rely on men to live their lives, even Lu Lingqi, who is outstanding in martial arts. She relied on her parents before she got married. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to say that she can go on her own with her own skills.
Lan Tian wants to change her destiny, but there is currently no good place to focus. After much deliberation, he can only start with the Gao Shun in front of him.
Gao Shun is definitely a competent soldier, a loyal and capable subordinate, but he is too decent and almost foolishly loyal, so it is very difficult to change his mind.
While waiting for the doctor, Lan Tian wanted to explore Gao Shun's thoughts first.
"I just walked along the way and saw that the soldiers in the camp were majestic and well-organized. I wonder what methods the general used to train and manage the army?" Lan Tian asked with a smile.
If you want to get closer to someone through chatting, the most convenient way is to talk about things that the other person is familiar with, because the more familiar you are with the other person, the more confident you will be.
If you can't find a topic to talk about, you can start with the local customs, food, etc. of your hometown. If you talk about the professional areas that the other person is good at, and you can ask for advice humbly like a fan, the other person will soon be able to open up.
Gao Shun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lan Tian was still interested in running the army, so he generously shared: "This is actually very simple. That is to be strict with oneself, have clear rewards and punishments, charge into battle, and lead by example."
Lan Tian nodded. These twelve words are simple to say but very difficult to implement, especially being strict with oneself.
"Can such a soldier be defeated? Can the general help General Lu to conquer the world?" Lan Tian asked deliberately.
"Sir, why do you need to play with me? There is no invincible soldier in this world, and the master's will is unknown..." Gao Shun recalled that since he joined the army, victory and defeat have always been with him, and his defeat in Yanzhou was not easy.
"Last time when I was talking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the general once said that he did not know how to benefit the people and could only be loyal to his lord. I wonder how a general can be loyal?" Lan Tian continued to ask.
"Sir, what do you mean by this? You are loyal to your master and will never betray you." Gao Shun was puzzled when he heard this.
"If the Lord is here, there will be no contradiction. If the Lord is dead, what will happen?" Lan Tian asked again.
"It's just death, we should obey it underground." Gao Shun said firmly.
Lan Tian was heartbroken when he heard that this guy was really so 'stubborn'.
How to convince this person not to be so foolish and loyal?
Lan Tian thought for a moment and then said: "The general's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, but everyone is destined to die. Some are lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, and the general must observe it."
Gao Shun saw that Lan Tian's words today had some meaning, so he asked: "What exactly did Mr. Ziyu want to say?"
Lan Tian stood up and carried him on his back and said: "Just like the characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Ping's death is more important than Mount Tai. He made Guo Jing remember the hatred of the family and the country, and ultimately served the country and the people, achieving great achievements for a generation.
Hero; another example is Qu Lingfeng. After he was kicked out of Peach Blossom Island, in order to please Huang Yaoshi, he entered the palace to steal paintings and was hunted down. However, he did not die. If he died, he would be lighter than a feather."
"Although Li Ping is a woman, she is really a hero. I also despise Qu Lingfeng's rooster-crowding and dog-robbery behavior..." Gao Shun shook his head and said.
"Actually, both of them are loyal. Qu Lingfeng is loyal to his master because of his small loyalty, and Li Ping is loyal to his family and country because of his great loyalty..."
"What you said today is very strange. Please elaborate."
At this time, Lan Tian turned around and said with a serious face: "General Lu has many grudges with the princes. I predict that he will be defeated and die. Although the general and I met by chance, we get along quite well. If that day comes,
I hope the general will not show his petty loyalty. If he really wants to show his petty loyalty, he will not imitate Qu Lingfeng..."
Gao Shun was stunned for a moment. Lan Ziyu's prediction had not gone wrong. Now that he predicted that Lu Bu would be defeated and killed, it would be very likely to happen.
Gao Shun endured the huge waves in his heart and asked solemnly: "Then who should I learn from?"
"Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River." Lan Tian said firmly.
The amount of information Lan Tian said today was too large for Gao Shun to digest at once. The most important thing was that this guy predicted that Lu Bu would die, which immediately made the commander-in-chief unable to sit still.
The two were silent for a moment, and then Gao Yuan brought back two doctors from the city.
At this time, night had fallen, and Lan Tian was worried about Gan Ji's condition, so he said goodbye to Gao Shun and returned home, saying that he would come to the city to pick up Gan Qian tomorrow.
Now that the city gate has been closed, Gao Shun ordered Gao Yuan to escort them back to the village. He himself wanted to reflect on what Lan Tian had just said.
A plateau opened the way, and a few people quickly left Xiaopei and returned home to find that the room was very hot.
It turned out that Li Yang had made two charcoal basins and was heating Ganji. The man was sweating profusely from the heat, but he still stayed close to the bed.
Lantian was very grateful when he saw this and told Li Yang to go home and rest first.
When Li Yang saw that Lantian had brought back several doctors, he said he would come back tomorrow morning.
After diagnosis and treatment by two doctors, Ganji was diagnosed with cold air intruding into his body. In addition, he was frightened when he learned that his daughter had fallen into the city. He eventually became sick due to worry and was complicated by cold and fever. It was a disease that could not be cured in a short time and required long-term bed rest.
Lantian didn't know any medical skills, so he could only follow the advice of the three doctors.
Gao Yuan left one person to look after him, and went back to the city with another doctor to get medicine. They went back and forth until midnight.
By the time Ganji prepared the medicine and fell asleep, it was already past midnight.
When Lan Tian saw Gao Yuan running around for him all night, he planned to cook something to satisfy his hunger, but there was nothing to eat in the kitchen. Then he remembered that the food was all in the shelter.
"General Gao, please come with me and I'll get you something to eat," Lan Tian said.
"Oh, okay." Gao Yuan was busy helping Lan Tian, and indeed he didn't even have to eat dinner. Now he was unbearably hungry, so he didn't say any polite words to him.
Lan Tian held up the torch and walked towards the back of the house. Gao Yuan followed behind and was very confused, wondering whether he wanted to borrow it from another house?
After the two of them walked a few steps, Lan Tian stopped and squatted on the ground.
"General Gao, please help me get the torch." Lan Tian said.
Gao Yuan took the torch with a puzzled look on his face and saw Lan Tian pulling up on the meadow and directly lifting a square lid.
"Mr. Ziyu, what are you..." Gao Yuan asked strangely when he saw that Lan Tian was about to crawl underneath.
Lan Tian's feet were already on the ladder. He stretched out his hand and said, "This is a hidden place. Please pass the torch to me."
After Gao Yuan handed over the torch, Lan Tian walked up the ladder to the shelter.
"Mr. Ziyu, can I go down and take a look?" Gao Yuan was curious and shouted down.
"Come down." Lan Tian shouted from below.
Gao Yuan also climbed down the stairs, and then saw that there was a different cave here, with beds, clothes, quilts, water and food, which were exactly the same as the rooms outside.
Lan Tian took out a few cold steamed buns and said, "This is what's left in the morning. Let's take it up and heat it up."
Gao Yuan was already hungry at this time. He took a bite and thought it tasted pretty good, so he said: "We are not particular about it, as long as we have a stutter. Your place is really nice. I didn't even notice it outside just now."
Lan Tian smiled and said: "Xuzhou has been at war for many years, so building this shelter is a helpless move, but it is not a long-term solution..."
