Hu Ke smiled and shook his head: "The ancestors of the last general are all Li Shu, so there is no need to keep the original surname. There are many people in the world who change their surnames, so why bother?"

"It all goes according to your wishes. The Zhang family was originally a big family in Jiangdong. Now I am forcibly holding it up as a role model. It can quickly bring the other noble families back to their hearts. Using the name of Yu Xiu can secretly help me. If I forcefully change my name back to my original name, I may let others

These people are wary and have worked hard." Lan Tian explained solemnly.

"General, this life belongs to you. Please don't say such unreasonable words again. The only person you have in front of me is Yu Xiu. Don't call me wrong, eldest son." Hu Ke replied firmly.

"Okay." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

"It's getting late now. It's inconvenient for Yu Xiu to disturb Mr. Sir. Please take a rest and say goodbye." Hu Ke stood up and clasped his fists to leave.

Lan Tian waved his hand to Lan Yuan, "Boyang, go see off General Yu."

"only."

After a while, Lan Yuan and Lan Ji returned to the house at the same time, while Lan Tian was still deep in thought.

"Father, the situation in Jiangdong is so complicated, are you troubled?" Lan Yuan asked in a low voice.

Lan Ji didn't take it seriously and said: "There are still problems in the world that my father can't solve? The one I admire the most is my father. Brother, please don't follow me with such a sad face."

"Zhong Ling, you don't know the whole story..." Lan Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lan Ji beat his chest and said: "I think governing a place is like leading troops to fight. As long as you know the people and make good use of them, put the right people in the right positions, and they will naturally play their role. Those who have made merit will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Like

In the shooting competition on the warship, all the officers and men in the battalion were very happy, and the person in last place would either realize his shame and become more courageous, or he would be kicked out of the team. It didn't feel difficult."

"It's too one-sided. There is a difference between being able to govern and being able to govern well. My father's requirements are never low. Zhong Ling, you are still too young..." Lan Yuan sighed.

Lan Ji still wanted to refute, but Lan Tian stretched out his hand to stop him, "As a father, I have a draft in mind. You brothers don't need to argue. Time will tell whether it works or not. Let's take a rest early."

"Wei." The two brothers then clasped their fists and left.

Not long after the Lan brothers left, Lan Yuan suddenly left and returned, shouting: "Father, Jiang Cheng and Chai Sang are reporting urgently."

"Let's talk about Jiang Cheng's situation first." Lan Tian suddenly stood up.

Lan Yuan cupped his fists and said: "Uncle Gan marched into the river today. Luo Tong and Zhu Zhi persuaded Lu Xun to surrender. Lu Xun knew the Wu army's defense, so he now suggested to attack Dan Tu. Uncle Gan was worried that Lu Xun might be deceitful, so he came here to ask for instructions.

Father."

"Lu Xun surrendered? Luo Tong, Zhu Ju is quite capable." Lan Tian was very surprised.

"I heard that Jiang Cheng's defenders did not resist, and Lu Xun also surrendered voluntarily. It seems that there is a hidden secret." Lan Yuan answered truthfully.

"Lu Boyan is such a wonderful man. It seems that he doesn't want to see me empty-handed. He probably wants to find a certificate of surrender. I'll reply to General Gan that he has no doubts. I'll be his guarantee." Lan Tian said in his heart that he didn't join Liangshan. Lu Xun must have read some wild stories.

Is that too much?

"Father, you all agree that Lu Xun is a great talent. What if he pretends to surrender and leads General Gan into an ambush? Back then, Huang Gai pretended to surrender and set fire to Cao's camp..." Lan Yuan gave a lecture on martial arts

Tang's battle analysis, in turn, warned Lam Tian.

Lan Tian was very pleased to see that Lan Yuan knew how to learn from the past and the present. He said that Huang Gai was not the only one who faked surrender during the Three Kingdoms era. Later, Zhou Fang and Jiang Wei both played this trick.

"Hahaha, if it were anyone else, I might still be suspicious, but Lu Xun would definitely not."

"Why?"

Lan Tian suddenly became serious, "I have taught you many times to look at problems comprehensively. Lu Xun's whole family is now trapped in Jianye, and this person shoulders the heavy responsibility for the prosperity of the Lu family. Do you think Boyang has the courage to sacrifice the whole family? Even if Xingba's 20,000 to 30,000 navy troops have been damaged. With Sun Quan's remaining rabble, can they still drive me out of Jianye?"

"Are you saying that Lu Xun would throw a weapon against a rat? Hostages will indeed affect the soldiers' judgment." Lan Yuan nodded lightly.

"To win a war, in addition to considering factors such as troop strength, food and grass, climate, terrain, etc., you also need to know more about the enemy's general's character and family situation. Any small detail may determine the outcome of the war."

"My child knows."

"What's going on with Chaisang? Mutiny?"

Lantian captured tens of thousands of rebels in Yichun, but not all of them were brought back to Jianye. More than half of them were stationed in Chaisang, under the command of the resourceful Song Chen. On the one hand, there were not enough warships, and on the other hand, Lantian was worried Having defected before the battle, he thought he was surrendering his troops and mutiny due to this urgent report.

Lan Yuan quickly shook his head, "After we left Chaisang, Wu Ban and Zhu Ran also rushed to join forces. Currently, Chaisang's garrison is close to 40,000. Firstly, the daily ration consumption is too large, and secondly, there are not many people. It’s easy to manage, but I’m really worried that if the troops are stationed for too long, there will be a risk of mutiny.”

"Song Chen not only knows how to ask questions, but since he took the initiative to send me a letter, he should have included suggestions?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Yes, General Wu is commanding the county soldiers from Lingling. He suggested that he send them to Xiangyang to General Guan. Anyway, he sent them to Xinbei last year. It is a familiar route to send him again now. In addition, he will send one or two loyal and loyal generals to Chai. Please help Sang, so that everything will be safe." Lan Yuan answered with clasped fists.

"This is called professionalism. He is Hu Ke's adjutant after all. The reconnaissance battalion of several hundred people actually appeared at the same time..." When Lan Tian was talking to himself, he found that Lan Yuan was looking at him, so he changed the subject: "Song Chen's suggestion is very pertinent. Chengyuan (Ding Feng) did not go on an expedition with Xingba. Let him go to Chaisang. As long as the news of Lu Xun's surrender is passed on, the soldiers who surrendered from Jiangdong should have no intention of causing trouble."

"Where is General Wu Ban?" Lan Yuan asked again.

Lan Tian shook his head slightly, "Yuanxiong (Wu Ban) is a calm general. He has been sending new soldiers to the front line. He is really overqualified and overqualified. I don't know if Lao Sha has sent troops. Unscrupulous generals cannot be in the important place of Jiaozhi. Wait until I repair the book." If the title is granted to Gong Yan (Jiang Wan), there will be no danger of Yuan Xiong being appointed as the prefect."

"Ah? Those county soldiers from Lingling..."

"Ask Zhong Ling to send him to Xiangyang."

Lan Yuan was startled when he heard this, and quickly advised him: "Jiangdong has not been pacified yet, and this place is also a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. My father should keep his second brother by his side. Why don't I let my son go to Gaoling for a while?"

"It's not that serious. It was originally estimated that Jiangdong would be pacified by the end of September. Now that Lu Boyan has joined, I believe the time will be greatly advanced. Now Jianye has your trapping army, as well as Hu...Yu Xiu's Jiefanwei, your second brother There isn’t much room for us, so instead of wasting time here, it’s better to go to Jingzhou to help as soon as possible, the battle in Yunchang is more intense than in Jiangdong.” Lan Tian stroked his beard and said.

"That's what I said... It's just that it's rare to fight side by side with my second brother, so we have to be separated soon. I'm really reluctant to let go." Lan Yuan's face was full of bitterness.

Lan Tian gently patted Lan Yuan's arm, "Life is like this, parting and meeting again, meeting and parting again, just let nature take its course. Go to Zhong Ling to say goodbye. As a father, I have to write a letter to Gong Yan (Jiang Wan)."
