"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly" was the opinion Zhu Yuanzhang got from seeking the scholar Zhu Sheng. Although it is different from the current world, some essence can be learned from it.

Although there are only nine short words, it demonstrates the strategy of fighting for the world in troubled times. Even Zhang Fei was amazed when he heard it.

"Wonderful." Zhang Fei said happily.

Liu Bei thought about these nine words over and over again, and kept reviewing everything he had done since he raised his army. He felt that he had a problem with luck. Most of the time, he did not think carefully and acted too hastily. Now he had more expectations for Lantian.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "Building a high wall means training soldiers and guarding the territory like Cao Cao; accumulating grain widely means recuperating and accumulating strength like Liu Biao did; as for slowly becoming the king, it means not proclaiming the emperor like Yuan Shu and causing trouble; as long as the lord supports him

Recharge your batteries, and once the world changes, you will be able to dominate."

"Ziyu used them as a comparison, and Bei already understood what he meant. It's just that you have such a strategy, why are you still so humble?" Liu Bei said puzzled.

Lan Tian scratched his head and said: "It's easy to talk about war on paper. I can give you some reference suggestions, but to capture cities and govern the country, the lord also needs to recruit talented people. These nine words can only learn from the essence, but you can rest assured to leave this vast accumulation of grain to me."

manage."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. Lantian would share one third of the nine words of peace in the world, and he could also provide some advice as a staff officer. It didn't matter whether he wanted to be a military advisor or not.

"Ziyu asked me to go to Jingzhou last time. Where should we go now? Yuan Benchu ​​hopes that I will support him in Runan." Liu Bei continued to ask.

Lan Tian sighed: "Yuan Benchu ​​is indecisive. I'm afraid he is no match for Cao Cao. How can Yichun resist with a small army and a small city? I suggest we go to Jingzhou."

"Then I'll gather everyone together and let's set off as soon as possible." Liu Bei agreed readily this time, which was completely different from what he had done with Xiaopei.

"Brother-in-law still needs to send someone to Yuan Benchu ​​to ask for a letter of recommendation." Lan Tian reminded.

"What's the explanation for this?" Liu Bei asked puzzledly.

Lan Tian said: "My brother-in-law's benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world, and his reputation as a hero is known all over the world. If he rashly joins Liu Biao, he will be suspected. Yuan Benchu ​​went to the general's house with him. The two have a close friendship. If there is a letter of recommendation from Yuan Benchu

, Liu Jingsheng will treat his lord well."

"Ziyu is really a wise man, then I'll let Gongyou do the hard work again." After Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu couldn't help but nod.

At the reception banquet, more than ten of Liu Bei's subordinates were present. Mi Zhen and Gan Qian also appeared beside him. Even Zhang Fei had a cute and well-behaved little girl beside him.

"Second brother, Ziyu, you have worked hard all the way. I will lend you a glass of wine to wash away the dust for you." After Liu Bei raised his glass, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others all agreed.

Seeing Liu Bei's enthusiasm for Lan Tian, ​​Mi Fang felt mixed emotions in her heart. On the contrary, Mi Zhu was still smiling, and his belly and wealth were greater than his brother's.

After Liu Bei paid tribute to Guan Yu, Lan Tian had a drink with the two ladies again. Zhang Fei, who always liked drinking, picked up the drinking utensils and came over, "I haven't had a drink with Ziyu for a long time. I miss it very much. It's still the days in Ganjiazhuang."

comfortable."

Lan Tian clinked glasses with him and said: "The three generals are quick to talk, and their demeanor is still as good as before."

Zhang Fei suddenly put his arm around Lan Tian's shoulders, pointed at the little girl opposite and said, "Actually, I really miss your cooking. Can you teach my wife how to cook it when you have time?"

Your wife? Isn’t she still a girl? Lan Tian looked confused.

At this time, Zhao Yun beside him reminded: "After Yide was separated in Xiaopei, he wandered in Qiaojun, Yingchuan, Runan and other places. He got Miss Xiahou from Qiaojun..."

Lan Tian suddenly realized that he remembered that Zhang Fei married Xia Houyuan's daughter in the history books, but he didn't expect that she was actually a little girl. She looked as young as the first time he met Lu Lingqi.

"This...I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Lan Tian said awkwardly.

"What's inappropriate?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked disapprovingly.

Lan Tian hurriedly said: "Sister, my skills are almost the same. Third General, you can..."

Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, let's still drink."

Liu Bei saw that everyone was drinking happily, and then he took the opportunity to say to Gong Du: "Runan is quite close to Xudu, so it is not a place where you can stay for a long time. I want to follow Ziyu's advice and go to Jingzhou. You will go and count the troops later. We will conquer the day."

Set off."

"No." Gong Du stood up and said.

When everyone heard that they were going to Jingzhou, they all started whispering. Liu Bei's words expressed his trust in Lantian.

Liu Bei sighed again at this time: "It's such a pity that General Liu Pi died trying to protect me..."

After the defeat of Pingyu, Liu Pi lured the enemy to flee to Shangcai, but was surrounded by Cao Ren's pursuers. Thousands of people did not survive.

Gongdu, Zhou Cang felt very sad when he heard this, when the scouts outside the palace hurriedly broke in.

The scout reported: "My lord, Cao Cao himself has led an army of 30,000 troops out of Xudu, and is expected to reach Yichun within three days."

The wine glass in Liu Bei's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he thought to himself that the Cao thief came so quickly.

"Brother, Cao Cao is marching boldly and quickly. We must set off immediately, otherwise we may be overtaken by tigers and leopards." Guan Yu didn't drink much, so he immediately reminded him.

Mentioning the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Liu Bei was still frightened, and the shadow of Xiaopei's battle is still there to this day.

They are both cavalry, but the difference between individual soldiers is too big.

Liu Bei stood up and said: "Everyone, please take a break and have a drink. We will meet again when we arrive in Jingzhou. Second brother and third brother, you and General Gong will quickly rectify the army and horses. Zilong will be in charge of the rear, and we will set off immediately."

Gongdu only had a thousand soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was pitifully low. When they heard that they were going to Jingzhou again, many people fled, and in the end only about 500 people gathered.

Zhang Fei took advantage of the wine and said angrily: "Brother, these people are capricious. We should catch a few of them and kill Liwei."

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "Just let them go. They are all hungry refugees. It is normal to not want to follow them..."

"Big brother is kind..." Zhang Fei muttered.

When Liu Bei's army heard that Cao Bing was coming, these hundreds of men marched very quickly. In less than a day, they reached the Langling area in the west.

When he was resting on his horse, Gong Du came up to Liu Bei and said: "My lord, there is Zuomu Mountain ten miles southwest of here. It was originally the hilltop occupied by my subordinate Li Lang. It was captured by another group of thieves a year ago.

I've gone there, I've tried to take revenge several times but couldn't win, can I come here today..."

Liu Bei was not in the habit of fighting for territory with bandits, and now it was time to escape Cao Cao's pursuit, so he really didn't want to waste time here.

Zhang Fei frowned after hearing Gong Du's words and said: "You are also a Yellow Turban general, how come you can't defeat an unknown grass bandit?"

Gong Du blushed and said: "Although I have some bravery, how can I compare with General Yide? The man and woman who occupied Mushan are very brave. Please ask General Zhang to avenge me..."

"There are women? You can't even beat women?" Zhang Fei was speechless.

"That female general's marksmanship is as good as that of a god, and her strength is probably better than that of the male general..." Gong Du lowered his head as he spoke.

"I, Zhang Fei, don't hit women..." Zhang Fei said in his heart that although I love whipping soldiers, I really can't hit women.

At this time, Guan Yu also came over and asked, "Brother, what can I do?"

Zhang Fei pointed at Gong Du and said: "He said that there is a man and a woman in Mushan to the west who are extremely brave. They took away the mountain top of his subordinates a year ago. Now he wants his eldest brother to avenge him."

"Since we're along the way, why not help him?" Guan Yu asked doubtfully.

"There should be a lot of money and food in the cottage, which can be used to supplement our military resources." Gong Du added.

Liu Bei nodded at this time and said: "Then let's go meet the male and female thieves for a while."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Leave the female general to my second brother. I'll meet the male general for a while."
