In February, it was Lantian's plan to go to Linyi State and regain the Rinan County of the Han Dynasty. This matter was not made public, but it was clear that he was close to the civil and military forces.
Seeing that he was surrounded by his own people, Lantian smiled and replied: "Lin Yi refused to accept the king's rule and killed the officials of the imperial court in rebellion. Since I have taken over Jiaozhou Mu, I should take back the land as the king."
Xu Shu frowned after hearing this. He was not against sending troops to Linyi, but he just felt that sending troops now was not worthwhile.
"Ziyu, please take a step to talk." Xu Shu didn't want to embarrass Lantian, so he motioned to Lantian to go to the edge of the courtyard to talk.
Lan Tian followed him curiously, and Xu Shu looked at him with a solemn expression, "Ziyu has always been cautious and would never make a loss-making business, but now that we are sending troops to regain Rinan, is it too hasty?"
"King Lin Yi embezzled Jiaozhou merchant ships and imprisoned the shopkeepers of Guangzhou merchants. If he didn't send troops to enhance our country's prestige, he might have taken advantage of it later. If Sun Quan hadn't attacked Jingzhou secretly, I would have sent troops last year," Lan Tian explained.
Xu Shu looked around and admonished: "Although Ziyu is the pastor of Jiaozhou, the south of Jiaozhou is still controlled by the Shi family. You can even tolerate Shi Xie, why don't you tolerate that state again? Now that we have resumed trade with Sun Quan, even though we have set up
The inspection points are stuck, but they cannot guarantee the influx of Jiangdong fine works. If something happens to Guangzhou, won't your many years of business be ruined?"
"Don't worry Yuanzhi, I will stay in Guangzhou and take charge of this expedition." Lan Tian smiled slightly.
Xu Shu patted his chest in fear, let out a long sigh, and sighed: "Let me tell you, with your caution, how can you take risks? But Linyi is still south of Jiuzhen, and it is not easy to manage even if it is recovered now, so why not
Plan to alienate Lin Yi and let them send troops to attack Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi? Ziyu sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight. When they are both defeated, he then takes back the four counties of Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan in one fell swoop?"
Lan Tian pursed his lips and shook his head, "Although the military strategist's plan is clever, Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi are both Han Dynasty subjects. They can attack their own families behind closed doors. How can they deliberately attract foreign Cham tribes to invade and rebel in order to take back Rinan County?"
China? Furthermore, Shi Xie likes to use money and food to buy peace, so King Lin Yi may not be fooled."
"I just don't think it's worth it. We won't have many people after conquering it. Not only can't the grain be transported, but we might have to transport grain to subsidize it. But since Ziyu is determined to go, I will give you my full support." Xu Shu looked solemn.
.
Lantian smiled mysteriously: "The spoils of Linyi Kingdom are not ordinary. Has Yuan Zhi forgotten what I said before? There is a magical rice seed that grows fast and does not choose soil. The Champa rice is in Linyi Kingdom. It has been planted and bred for several seasons.
, and finally select high-quality seeds, and then they can be fully promoted. At that time, the fields can be opened in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou to store grain for General Guan's northward march to the Central Plains."
Xu Shu suddenly realized that the magical rice seed was in Linyi. He turned from worry to joy and said: "I still have some impression. If there is such a precious rice seed in Rinan, it is indeed worth the effort to raise an army to conquer. General Gao will lead the battle."
I have rich experience, and Ziyu’s strategic deployment is not inferior to mine, so this battle should be relatively simple, but conquering foreign countries is no small matter, have you asked the king for instructions?"
"When I sent seafood to Shu as tribute years ago, I already sent someone to ask the King of Hanzhong for instructions. I believe there will be a reply soon." Lan Tian replied.
"Haha, it seems that I am still too worried. Ziyu is still the same Ziyu. Only Kong Ming can match the prudence of a king." Xu Shu patted Lan Tian's shoulder gently and praised.
Lan Tian held Xu Shu's hand and told him to pay close attention to Xu Du's movements. Cao Pi might soon proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
Historically, after Cao Pi became emperor, Xiahou Shanghui asked for orders to attack Shangyong, which eventually led to Meng Da's surrender and Liu Feng's defeat. However, now the situation in Xiangfan has changed drastically, and the entire Han River is under Guan Yu's control. Xiahou may not dare to risk this yet.
risk.
Lan Tian suggested that Shangyong, Nanxiang, Xiangfan, Jiangxia and Latong should be regarded as a strategic whole. If there is danger at any point, it may become a breakthrough point for the enemy.
Xu Shu knew the strategic horror of Lantian and promised to tell Guan Yu word for word. The two whispered for a long time in the corner of the courtyard.
Finally seeing the sun rise, Xu Shu stopped talking and bid farewell to Lantian.
Before the Liucao system was fully adjusted, Lantian had already begun to manage the administration in the first month of the year. Because the daily government affairs were quite busy, Lanyuan was asked to take Xu Shu to the dock.
Two brothers, Lan Yuan and Lan Ji, were reluctant to leave at Panyu Pier.
"Brother, just send it here. Be careful when you go out to fight. You are so powerful, remember not to get hurt, and don't make your mother worry." Lan Ji said goodbye to Lan Yuan with fists in his hands.
Lan Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I won't make any mistakes if I follow Uncle Gao, but Zhong Ling, you have to temper your temper a little more. You should have some insights when you come back this time, right?"
"Well, Uncle Gao has taught me a lot. I will practice hard with my sons when I get back. I really want to grow up quickly so that I can charge into battle smoothly..." Lan Ji showed his white teeth.
"It seems that father told you in vain..." Lan Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Lan Ji chuckled and said: "My father said that hiding a sharp edge is more terrifying than showing a sharp edge. Only by knowing how to hide your stupidity can you be invincible. I am still young and can't understand it, so I want to grow up quickly."
"Let's go." Lan Yuan waved his hand gently.
Xu Shu and his mother were standing side by side on the passenger ship. They had watched Lan Yuan and Lan Ji grow up since they were young. They had grown into an eight-foot-long man. From bickering and fighting to now having a deep brotherhood in front of the dock, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh.
tone.
"My son is envious?" Xu's mother asked kindly.
"Boyang and Zhongling are really good brothers. Although I envy them, they are tolerant. I can't compare to Lan Ziyu..." Xu Shu smiled and shook his head.
Xu's mother frowned and waved her eyebrows, "It's nothing to say that running a country is not as good as giving birth to a son. Can't you compare with it? Yuan Zhi was aggressive because he was young and hurt his internal energy, so that some of his meridians were blocked. Mr. Hua's medicine was still good.
You have to keep taking it, I'm still waiting to have a grandson, if his Lan family can produce a pair of good sons, our Xu family can do the same."
"Mom, there's no need to compare, right? My son is now in his mid-forties, and he doesn't have that much energy at all. Besides, Kong Ming and I are about the same age. He still has no heirs, so no one is in a hurry..." Xu Shu sacrificed Zhuge Liang to block the sword.
..
"The King of Hanzhong took concubines in his fifties and still gave birth to children. How could he belittle himself in the forties of Yuanzhi? Furthermore, how do you know that Kong Ming is not in a hurry? He is also asking people to find doctors and medicines. Mr. Hua will give you the prescription. I will ask Zhuge
I took a copy from home." Xu's mother frowned.
"Kong Ming asked someone to find medicine? Is this impossible?" Xu Shu was surprised when he heard this.
Xu's mother replied: "Although Kong Ming is not asking for it himself, the Huang family is secretly looking for the recipe, doesn't it mean that Kong Ming is also looking for it?"
"Mom, let's not be too enthusiastic about this kind of thing. Doctors pay attention to prescribing the right medicine for the disease. Random supplements may not be beneficial. Maybe it's not Kong Ming's problem..." Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why don't you just take a concubine as soon as possible? The Zhuge family can't have any concubines, right? You and Kong Ming are so close, you should persuade her." Just after Xu's mother finished speaking, she suddenly changed the topic and said to herself: "Mrs. Lu's face looks red all day long. Look at it.
