"You want to leave too? Not that it's impossible, but." Lan Tian condescended and stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech.
Yuan Yao heard that there was a family and hurriedly bowed and begged: "My little sister went to a foreign land alone, and I would like to ask the emperor to fulfill his duties."
"This general is no longer in charge of Lingling. The matters in Jingzhou are now under the jurisdiction of Xu Sikong. It is indeed okay for Yuan Langzhong to go, but he may not have idle jobs to settle down." Lan Tian showed embarrassment on his face.
Although Lantian no longer manages the four counties in Jingnan, it is easy to ask Xu Shu or Hao Pu for favors. Besides, Yuan Yao is only a man by Sun Quan, so he seems to be relatively mediocre in his ability. Otherwise, with Mrs. Yuan's relationship, he would not have been such a idle person.
"If you can go to Lingling with you, it's okay for the common people." Yuan Yao quickly agreed. He thought that because his sister's appearance was good and the Yuan family of Runan, he should be able to find an official family to marry him, and he could survive by nepotism.
Yuan Yao had inquired about the four counties in Jingnan and knew that Lingling, which Lantian had ruled, was the most prosperous. In addition, Lingling was far away in the hinterland of Jingzhou, and there were basically no worries about war. Yuan Yao thought that instead of facing several people in Jianye, it would be better to spend the rest of his life in another place.
"Since Doctor Yuan is so earnest, then go home and prepare. Keri will set off with the fleet and go to the Licao Yamen in advance to hand over the meeting." Lan Tian waved his hand gently and signaled that Yuan Yao could leave.
"Thank you, my husband, thank you. The people of the grass will leave." Yuan Yao bowed and left the courtyard.
Looking at Yuan Yao's hunchback, Lan Yuan beside him asked in confusion: "This Doctor Yuan is so bold. He actually came to plead with his father over the top. You don't even talk much to the officials in Jiangdong. Why do you spend so many words on the little people today?"
Lan Tian sighed: "Because he is Yuan Shu's son"
"My father and Yuan Shu have an old age? No, Yuan Shu has been defeated long ago, and even Sun Quan is played by you. Why do you treat his son like this?" Lan Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was asking Lan Tian about the situation.
Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan's expectant eyes and said melancholy: "If your mother didn't meet me, she would probably marry Yuan Shujia and become Yuan Yao's wife just now."
"What?" Lan Yuan was shocked and murmured to himself: "Why is Yuan Yao worthy of his mother without any heroism?"
"I have told you how many women can choose to live? My father used to want to take over Xuzhou, but Cao Cao had a deep hatred with him and wanted to destroy him all the time. Your father wanted to make friends with Yuan Shu through marriage. Although your mother is a hero among women, she could not escape her fate." Lan Tian frowned.
"Uh, if that's true, my mother should have followed Yuan's orphan to Jiangdong, but her fate should be very bumpy, and she might even meet her father." Lan Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of the ending.
Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, "Silly child, if I had not met your mother, I might not have participated in the destruction of Wu. Maybe I would have died in the chaos of the coming and going."
"It's better now." Lan Yuan felt very grateful.
"Now I understand why I am tolerant of Qing'er? My father doesn't want her to be a tool for consolidating family interests and carrying out political marriages like an ordinary woman. She should have a more free life." Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan and said seriously.
Lan Yuan nodded after hearing this and suddenly asked Lan Tian: "Father, Wan'er won't be."
"Boyang and Wan'er know the truth. I asked the queen about her opinion in advance. Wan'er voluntarily married into our Lan family. Your Majesty also likes you, your son-in-law, is it that you don't like Wan'er?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.
Lan Yuan was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly explained: "Wan'er respects her parents and is very sensible. The child is very satisfied. When she successfully gave birth to Lin'er, please ask your grandson to give her name."
"I'll give you the nickname to my father, and give it to you, so that I can be considered a real adult." Lan Tian smiled with a beard stroke.
"Save it, boy." Lan Yuan nodded with his fists.
Lantian walked down the steps, "When spring is warm and flowers bloom, when the war is coming, now we have to go to the military commander with me. We have to make the waves in Huainan bigger and share the pressure for General Guan and His Majesty."
"Yi." Lan Yuan agreed.
After relocating Sun Quan's family and dispersing the attendants in the palace, the Wu Palace became an empty palace. Lantian used waste to allow the newly established Six Cao Yamen to settle in. So Lantian and his son walked out of the courtyard not far, and entered the palace gate and came to the Military Cao Yamen.
At Lantian's suggestion, Lu Xun set up a war room in the yamen, making sand tables in Huainan and surrounding areas to facilitate discussions on military affairs and deployment of operations.
Currently, the military power in Yangzhou is divided into four parts, namely Jingzhou led by Ganning, Jiaozhou naval army of 20,000, 30,000 former troops of Jiangdong led by Lu Xun, 10,000 troops of Lan Yuan led by the army of 10,000 troops of Jiefanwei led by Yu Xiu.
The navy and Jiefanwei led by Lu Xun were both former subordinates of Sun Quan on the surface. The gentry believed that they had half of the military power, so they were very profitable to pay money and grain, and were in the "honeymoon period" with the new Yangzhou Mu.
In fact, in addition to Yu Xiu's Jiefanwei, among the old Jiangdong subordinates under Lu Xun, many surrendered generals were loyal to Lantian. For example, young generals such as Ding Feng and Luo Tong had long expressed their loyalty, and Lantian had absolute control over Yangzhou's military power.
When Lantian and Lanyuan arrived in front of the sand table, Lu Xun pointed ahead and explained the situation of the Wei army garrison, that is, with Hefei as the center point spreading northward in a fan shape, with a total of nearly 100,000 troops.
"Since there are not many garrisons in the southern part of the other side, I think I can eat the surrounding areas of Shu County first, wait until I have gained a foothold in Lujiang, and then find a way around Hefei. What do Bo Yan thinks?" Lan Tian first put forward his own point of view.
Lu Xun frowned and replied: "At this time of year, the water of the rivers slowly rises. The Wei soldiers will intend to lean northward, worrying that the water will suddenly slam the earth. It is not difficult for the Duke to destroy several small counties in the south, but the flood will also cause losses to us. The key is that the water situation will gradually stabilize in autumn. We will spread the defense so much for a while. What if the Wei soldiers make a comeback in autumn?"
"What should I do? The soldiers come to block the water and soil, just fight back?" Lan Tian frowned.
"We have tall horses, and we don't have an advantage in fighting on the plains. In the end, we thought it would be better to take the important town of Hefei first, so that the logistics supply can be fully carried out on the waterway." Lu Xun made a suggestion.
"Hefei's city is solid. I heard that Jiang Ji, according to Man Chong's plan, deliberately rebuilt a new city ten miles away from Hefei. The purpose is to deal with the navy of the Eastern Wu and prevent Jiangdong warships from approaching the city of Hefei. There is no point in fighting against the strong city." Lantian said with a stroke of his beard.
"The Wei army is just like that, at least the army is in a battle, and there is nothing to fear." Lan Yuan made a direct statement.
"Uh, the army is well-equipped, so it is natural to have no problem blocking the Wei soldiers. However, there is no waterway in all parts of Lujiang, so it is not easy for us to replenish logistics. Can the Duke solve the problem?" Lu Xun asked curiously.
Lantian said concisely: "No."
