A few days later, Lan Tian returned to Guangzhou. Before he could go to the back house to visit his wife and daughter, he met Guan Ping, who had come from Xiangyang.
"Tanzhi? Why are you here?" Lan Tian looked curious.
Guan Ping cupped his fists and saluted: "I am following the orders of my father, the general, and I have come to ask my uncle for advice."
"Oh? Could it be about the resumption of navigation?" Lantian guessed.
"It seems that General Gan's messenger has also arrived. My father was hesitant because of this matter. Military Advisor Xu suggested asking his uncle, so my nephew came by speedboat." Guan Ping explained.
Lantian waved his hand and said, "Xingba's messenger is at the inn in the city. The two of us should not stand at the door. We can talk slowly in the back hall."
"Wei." Guan Ping followed politely.
Gao Yuan, the captain of the bodyguard, went ahead and prepared fruits and drinks in the back hall, which was where Lantian did most of his daily work.
Entering the back hall of the main hall, Lantian and Guanping, the guests of honor, took their seats.
Lan Tian joked: "Tan Zhi is already a bandit general. How can Yun Chang be willing to let you come as a messenger to deliver messages? You are simply overqualified and underused."
Guan Ping clasped his fists and answered: "The battle of Jingzhou has been initially decided. Now the main focus is to restore people's livelihood and re-divide the original land in Nanjun, especially the barren fertile soil. Military division Xu is mainly responsible for this aspect. In terms of military, it is mainly about defense and training.
Now that there are General Pang and other helpers in Xiangyang, my father is not as busy as before. In addition, there are some things that are inconvenient for outsiders to talk about, so my father sent me to ask for advice."
Lan Tian nodded, "It doesn't matter if trade is resumed. Gan Xingba can set up two entry checkpoints in Wuchang and Xiakou, conduct identity verification and registration of passing merchant ships, inquire about their destinations and issue limited-time navigation orders, and then proceed at the destination port.
Set up review checkpoints, and only those who pass all inspections are allowed to enter the port, which can greatly reduce detailed work and curb the intrusion of criminals."
"My uncle still had a good idea, but you presided over the prisoner redemption negotiations at the time, and sold Lu Meng for 160 million to suppress confusion. You also said that Lu Meng died at the hands of Cao Cao. How will this matter be handled after the navigation is opened? At that time, there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line.
It would be very difficult to unify them all..."
Whether the truth about Lu Meng's execution should be preserved or not is the purpose of Guan Ping's personal visit to Guangzhou. Guan Yu focused on Xiangyang, and Fancheng headed north to the Central Plains. Subsequent recruitment training was mainly on infantry and cavalry, and he did not want to deliberately train naval forces to defend against Sun Quan.
He was worried that Sun Quan would become angry and start a war because of this, which would hinder his progress in the Northern Expedition.
Lan Tian saw Guan Yu's worries and comforted him with a smile: "Don't you hear the true and the false, the false and the false? Just go back and let General Guan ignore it. There is no need to let the soldiers have a unified voice and let them say whatever they want."
What to say, but senior generals should keep silent.
Even if Sun Quan decides that I have deceived him, it doesn't matter. Jiangdong's vitality was severely damaged last time and it is impossible for him to have the strength to invade Jingzhou. I will also focus on Jiangxia and let Yunchang prepare for the Northern Expedition with peace of mind."
Seeing Lan Tian's confidence, Guan Ping's doubts were instantly wiped away. He smiled and continued to ask: "Lu Boyan still wants to ask for the body of the general who died in the battle. Uncle, do you still want to collect ransom?"
"I'm afraid there won't be much oil and water left in Jiangdong. We should do good deeds and do good deeds. It's been a year since the Jingzhou War, and I'm afraid there are only white bones left in the graves. It's useless for us to keep these bones. We can let the people of Jiangdong dig them themselves.
, but it must be done under supervision." Lan Tian shook his head gently.
"My nephew, don't worry, I'll go back to Xiangyang tomorrow." Guan Ping once again cupped his fists and saluted.
Lan Tian saw that Guan Ping was so polite and polite, and felt that he still had some kinship with him, so he said: "It's not easy to come to Guangzhou, why not visit Guangzhou for a few days before leaving? Anyway, Xingba's envoy is here, so just let him go back to do business first.
"
"Uh...this..." Guan Ping seemed hesitant. He couldn't find a reason to refuse, but he also felt a little reserved. After staying with Guan Yu all year round, he was not used to the enthusiasm of his elders.
Guan Ping disembarked from the Panyu Pier and went straight to the Prefecture Mufu. He didn't pay much attention to the customs and customs in the city. Although he only had a glimpse of it while walking on horseback, he felt that this city was more majestic and more vibrant than Jiangling and Xiangyang.
"Guard Gao, do you know where Boyang is? Find him and pick him up...receive the guests..." Lantian almost said that he was dumb.
Gao Yuan smiled and clasped his fists: "General, I just asked the gatekeeper, Mr. Yuan seems to have gone to Guangzhou Medical College..."
"The expedition to Japan is about to begin. As a military commander, why did he go to the medical school instead of training with Boping?" Lantian frowned.
"He has been attending Mr. Hua's medical studies recently. Do you want me to call him back?" Gao Yuan answered, scratching his head.
Lan Tianxin said to him, "Hey guys, did this eldest son originally want to study medicine? It seems that there is something wrong with the direction of your planning. Although the results of treating diseases and saving people are slow, and the reputation is much lower than that of generals and prime ministers, it is still a profession that can benefit the world."
, so Lan Tian didn’t feel bad. After all, everyone has his own destiny.
"I don't think it's necessary. If he wants to study medicine, let him go. But I don't have time to accompany Tanzhi. Just take him around the city. You can go to the military zone to see Boping. He should be there, right?"
Lan Tian asked.
"General Gao is here." Gao Yuan nodded.
"It's getting late now. You and Tanzhi go to the military area to have a look and then go back. I'll hold a banquet for him at home in the evening. Remember to call Bo Ping when the time comes. I haven't missed him for a while."
Lan Tian waved gently.
"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and nodded, then continued to ask for instructions: "Farewell Jiang, Chief Xu and the others know that you are back in Guangzhou and have already asked someone to register at the gate. Will you see them this afternoon, sir?"
"How can I be so busy with my official duties? Haven't I been fine for more than half a year since I left? How come I don't know what to do when I come back? Let Jiang Gongyan come to see you tomorrow morning, and the others will wait for notification." Lan Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that you guys should
Have I become a tool?
The original purpose of Lantian's establishment of the school was not to do everything by himself like Kong Ming. In the end, he would end up working hard and exhausted, so his time traveling would have been in vain.
"Wei, General Guan, let's go." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and saluted.
"Then I'm sorry..." Guan Ping also remained polite in front of Gao Yuan.
Lan Tian rested for a moment, then stood up and stretched, and then walked to the back house alone.
Lan Tian is not worried about assassins in broad daylight. After all, the Prefecture is his own territory. However, Gao Yuan also made arrangements before going out. In addition to regular sentries in the courtyard, there are people secretly protecting Lan Tian. When he arrives at the back house, there is Lu Lingqi's sword.
Waiting service.
We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, and I don’t know if Lan Qing has changed, but based on Lan Tian’s experience over the years, children change greatly before they are six years old. Big changes can occur within a few months of seeing each other. Children have strong growth potential and absorb and transform the energy of nature.
Fastest.
