Just as Zhang Fei turned around, Lan Tian gently stopped him and told him: "This man is extremely filial, and his virtue must not be taken lightly."

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to find out first. If there is no such person in Jicheng, you will have to pay Deng Shizai to me." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.

"Hahaha..." Xu Shu poured himself a drink, stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

"Did Yuan Zhi hear it?" Lan Tian's face was full of curiosity.

Xu Shu nodded slightly, "When I was a young concubine, I was a good ranger. Now I have sharp ears and eyesight. I have a powerful voice. I have to listen to you..."

Lan Tian smiled bitterly: "Yi De is open-minded and generous. Although he is very competitive, he also knows how to bend and stretch. He really shouldn't be underestimated..."

"Yide does have a lot of cleverness. General Guan has Ziyu in Jingzhou to back him up, and he actually took Deng Shizai's idea. Your master and apprentice are engaged in farming. Who can defeat him?" Xu Shu sighed.

"I didn't expect this..." Lan Tian was stunned.

"Ziyu can really see so many things from the stars? Not only does he know his name and age accurately, but he even calculated Jiang Wei's filial piety? Is he really proficient in the art of ghosts and gods?" Xu Shu was even more surprised.

When Xu Shu traveled to Jingzhou, he became secret friends with Zhuge Liang. The two often studied and discussed together. Zhuge Liang also often demonstrated his stargazing skills, but he was not as miraculous as Lan Tian.

Lan Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "How can there be ghosts and gods in this world? If I really know the magic and magic, wouldn't I be able to spread beans into soldiers and fly into the sky to escape from the earth?"

"But the astronomical phenomena I know cannot calculate such precise information..." Xu Shu frowned.

Lan Tian turned his head to the right and whispered: "Actually, I didn't look at the stars at all, but I grasped Jiang Wei's information in advance."

Xu Shu asked: "How did you..."

"Does Yuan Zhi still remember the caravan sent to the north?" Lan Tian asked back.

"Of course I remember, especially Song Chen, I remember it deeply." Xu Shu nodded. If it weren't for Song Chen, Pang De wouldn't be here, and the King of Hanzhong wouldn't have such legal principles. Thinking of this, he suddenly

He opened his mouth wide and continued to ask: "They even set foot in Liangzhou?"

Lan Tian nodded slightly, "Businessmen naturally have to travel around. In fact, Jiang Wei is not an unknown person. His father, Jiang Jiong, was a meritorious official in Tianshui County. He died in the line of duty during the 19th year of Jian'an when he resisted the Qiang and Rong rebellions."

"So that's how it is." Xu Shu finally understood why Lan Tian said so categorically, saying that the three generals' little tricks were ultimately no match for Ziyu's great wisdom.

At the celebration banquet, Liu Bei ordered that there be no limit to the amount of wine and meat, and the soldiers all drank happily. People often toasted before the Lantian case, just like in bars in later generations.

Although it is not easy to get drunk from fruit wine, if you drink too much, you will have to go to the toilet. Lan Tian stepped across the threshold of the hall and suddenly found a general standing in the corridor. He looked tall and mighty in the dark. When he got closer, he saw that it was the familiar Gao Shun.

"Bo Ping? There is a charcoal basin in the palace for heating. Why did you come outside?" Lan Tian looked curious.

Gao Shun strictly disciplined himself not to drink, so he ate quickly. He couldn't stand the noisy atmosphere in the palace, so he ran outside the palace to cool down. When he saw Lan Tian standing with his feet together, he immediately knew that Lan Tian was in a hurry and wanted to show his respect, so

Pointing to a short distance away, he said: "Sir, do you want to go to the toilet? I will take you there."

"Uh... I'm full of wine..." Lan Tian smiled and patted his belly.

Open the gate and release the water, and you will have a refreshing drink.

Lan Tian arranged his robes and strode to the corridor.

"Because Bo Ping doesn't drink, he loses a lot of fun." Lan Tian looked at his words as he spoke, and found that something was wrong with Gao Shun's face, so he asked after him: "I see that you are not in a high mood today. I don't know why?"

Gao Shun shook his head gently, "Sir, don't worry about me. I have a calm personality and don't like noisy environments. You should know that."

"No, no..." Lan Tian raised his eyes and shook his head from side to side, trying to guess: "Is it the reason for the reward? I remember you once said that you were unwilling to be promoted for fear of living up to your brother-in-law's expectations, so you

Your name was erased by me, and I was going to make you General Pingbei."

"Sir, you are right. Gao Shun is your and your lady's family general. He is really not worthy of such an important position. I don't care about it, and I feel ashamed for it."

Lan Tian saw Gao Shun's clear eyes and knew that the other party had not lied to him, so he was even more puzzled. He solemnly clasped his fists and asked, "I regard Bo Ping as my confidant. Please tell me the truth."

Gao Shun sighed, "In this battle between Deng County and Cao Cao, although they won the victory in the end, all the armies suffered heavy losses, even the trapped army was no exception."

"Cao's army is naturally stronger than Jiangdong's army. How many casualties did the trapped army have?" Lan Tian comforted and asked.

"Twelve hundred people were killed and 2,100 were injured." Gao Shun answered truthfully.

Lan Tian was shocked when he heard that even the trapped troops suffered more than 30% casualties. The subsequent war was so tragic. He finally knew the crux of the matter. It turned out that Gao Shun was heartbroken for those soldiers.

"I earned a lot of money from Sun Quan. You can hand over the casualty list and credit book to Military Advisor Xu. The pension this time will be relatively generous. Since the deceased has passed away, there is no need to feel sad."

Gao Shun frowned, "I still haven't practiced enough. It may be because I slacked off during the Guangzhou period. There should be actual combat drills even if there is no war. Of course, it is also related to my improper command..."

"Boping blames himself so much. Could it be that he lost to Zhang Liao?" Lan Tian frowned.

"Zhang Liao's cavalry is nothing to be afraid of. He tried to use the mobility of the cavalry to break up my formation, but he was defeated by me three times in a row." Gao Shun hummed.

"Why is that?" Lan Tian was puzzled.

"It was because I defeated Zhang Liao three times. The fourth time I underestimated the enemy and made poor command, and the heavily-armed Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took advantage of the opportunity. In that battle, three hundred brothers were killed. Fortunately, the Euphorbia Battalion responded in time and we were able to defeat them.

Cao Xiu's troops." Gao Shun smiled bitterly.

Lan Tian patted Gao Shun's shoulder to comfort him: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are Cao Cao's most elite troops. Boping's ability to defeat Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu at the same time probably surprised them, right? So you don't need to blame yourself at all. Yun Chang just asked me for someone."

When I was there, I was really worried that he would ask you to leave..."

"General Guan, he won't..." Gao Shun shook his head slightly, and then sighed softly: "After this war, I saw many problems in the army. Many soldiers are no longer suitable due to injuries and age.

Staying in the military camp, I think it's time to make a big change in each battalion.

It’s just that the people I replaced are used to using swords and guns. They have fought with me all their lives. They may not be used to picking up hoes and farming. The martial arts hall cannot accommodate so many veterans. I really don’t know how to arrange them..."

Lantian smiled and said: "This is not something you should be concerned about. They really cannot fight for a lifetime. I have already considered their future whereabouts. Jiaozhou has a vast area and sparsely populated areas, and there are many Yue tribes. The original local officials and petty officials who came from school

, all lack the bandit spirit that can calm the scene; people who have experienced on the battlefield are needed to serve in various yamen such as county lieutenants, law officers, soldiers, prison officers, city magistrates, pavilion chiefs, etc."

"Can they still be officials? There seems to be no such precedent..."
