Chapter 702 The Yangtze River water ghost travels far
Lan Tian sat at the table without distraction, carefully outlining the sketch of the Hu Ben Martial Hall. He felt that someone around him did not look back, but kept his posture and asked casually: "Who is here?"
"Father, the supper is ready, and my mother asked me to ask you to have a meal." Lan Yuan whispered behind Lantian.
"I understand, I'll clean up, you go first."
"only."
After Lan Tian finished speaking, he pressed the paperweight on it and blew out the candle to prevent the paper from falling. He turned around and found that Lan Yuan was standing by the door and did not move. He walked over curiously: "Didn't you let you go first? What else is there?"
"President Song just sent someone to come here and said that there is a lot of information in the past two months, and some of the information needs to be decided by my father. I wonder when you have time?" Lan Yuan Daoming's purpose was to come.
Lantian frowned and said that Jiaozhou is very stable now and should be an external problem. So he responded with a smile: "Turn off the arrangements tomorrow morning for me, so he left my father with a time to the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce."
"only."
Lan Yuan got the exact news and turned around and walked outside. His footwork was very fast. Lan Tian quickly called him: "Where are you going? Let's have a reunion dinner."
"The people from the Chamber of Commerce are in the vestibule, and the child will go and return with a message." Lan Yuan replied with his fist.
Lan Tian nodded slightly, thinking that he would have to rush the picture tonight, otherwise he would have seen Song Chen overnight, but he forgot to eat and sleep. The so-called sharpening of the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, he thought that he would not have to be so anxious. The three-legged tripod has developed to the current situation, and there is no need to be urgent.
Although Liu Wan married into the Lan family as a bride, Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi did not treat her as an outsider at all. She and Lan Yuan had engaged in a engagement since childhood, and this was a natural result.
The reunion dinner for home was actually prepared for Liu Wan.
The square Eight Immortals Table, parents and children sit in the direction, Lantian sits in the south and faces Lanyuan, and Lu Lingqi and Liu Wan sit in the east and west.
After Lantian ‘invented’ the Eight Immortals Table, the family gathered together to sit down, which made it look more warm and lively, and it lacked the seriousness of the court.
After everyone sat down, Lan Tian, as the head of the family, took the lead in speaking before the meal. In addition to welcoming Liu Wan's polite words, he focused on telling his son a few words of his experience of treating his wife. Lan Yuan nodded frequently when he listened.
Liu Wan kept blushing and lowering her head. Lan Tian was asking Lan Yuan for words and without telling her a rule. She thought that it might be Lu Lingqi setting the rules.
Lan Tian finished explaining to Lan Yuan and handed over the right to Lu Lingqi next to her right hand.
Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Wan with a smile and said kindly: "Wan'er lived in our house when she was a child. Although Boyang's father is in a high position now, he is also a poor farmer. Therefore, he does not have many rules of a wealthy family. As long as he respects his elders, cares about his husband, and loves his children on weekdays, he can follow me and learn slowly."
"Wan'er understands..." Liu Wan responded in a low voice with flushed cheeks.
Lu Lingqi then took out a small square wooden box, and the decorative velvet cloth outside was already a bit old.
When I opened the wooden box, there was a jade bracelet lying inside. Judging from the color and texture, it was not a top-quality item, and it even looked slightly ordinary.
"Wan'er, this jade bracelet may not be exquisite, but it means a great significance to me. It is a token given to me by your father before he met him. The original owner was Wan'er's biological mother. Now I'll give it to you..." Lu Lingqi pushed the wooden box opposite, and Lantian's eyes were a little wet when he saw the objects.
"This... this is actually a mother's thing..." Liu Wan seemed very excited. She held the jade bracelet in her hand and said a pun in her trembling voice.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier, Lantian said in a deep voice: "Sister is leaving peacefully. Wan'er, hurry up and put it away. Our life will continue, so we will start with this reunion dinner."
"Father is right, put it away quickly." Lan Yuan whispered.
Everyone put away their sadness and picked up the dishes and continued their lives.
After the family had just used supper, Lantian continued to return to the room to draw sketches, and he planned to drive out before going to bed.
The next morning, Lantian had breakfast and rushed to the war room, a mysterious room located in the corner of the courtyard in front, with maps hanging throughout the house, with huge sand tables in the middle, and blocking light.
As soon as Lantian walked out of the garden, he saw the plateau standing by the roadside. He must have been waiting there early in the morning. Returning from Chengdu did not affect his work and rest time at all.
"You go outside the mansion and wait. If President Song arrives, take him to the war room directly." Lan Tian whispered.
Gao Yuan clasped his fists and replied: "Mr., Song Chen has arrived, and I'll be waiting for you in the war room."
"This kid..." Lan Tian was slightly surprised. Song Chen left the army for many years and was still so strict in terms of discipline. Once the time was agreed, Lan Tian had never been waiting.
The plateau opened the door of the war room, lit a few lights and stepped back to the door to guard. He knew that what Song Chen wanted to report was definitely a secret and important news.
"Sir." Song Chen bowed his fists.
"Boyang said you were a little anxious. It seems that you have received important news?" Lantian asked with one hand on the edge of the sand table.
Song Chen nodded and replied: "Wei State and Jiangdong have great events. Will we start with Wei State?"
"Tell me." Lantian nodded.
"The news of Cao Pi's proclaiming emperor was true before. He gave up Yecheng and established his capital in Luoyang, promoted Cao Ren to the general, and the Grand Sima guarded Huainan. Some time ago, the troops were mobilized in the territory of Wei and deployed more than 200,000 heavy troops around Luoyang. It seemed to be to prevent General Guan from going north or going south to Jingzhou..." Song Chen replied.
Lantian originally obtained Xiangfan with Guan Yu, and Cao Pi would avoid the edge and set the capital in Yecheng. Unexpectedly, he was so brave and did not hesitate to use heavy troops to guard the capital to set up defenses. He thought to himself that the influence of the Henan gentry was really great. He would rather face the threat of powerful Guan Yu than move the capital outside Henan.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and sneered: "It is different from the past. It is good that Cao Pi can defend 200,000 soldiers. It is a dream to go south to Jingzhou. However, I still appreciate Cao Pi's courage to "the emperor" to guard the country's gate. Is this the only thing about Wei?"
Song Chen shook his head, "Last year, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and the Qingzhou army formed by the Yellow Turban thieves beat drums and fled. This behavior of being unruly and without military discipline was chased and punished by Cao's soldiers. More than a thousand of them fled south to Jingzhou. General Guan was worried that these people were spies who came to make the city, so he sent them to Wuling and handed them over to the prefect Hu Xiu to settle, but these people disappeared soon..."
Lantian was very careful about surrendering generals like Hu Xiu and sent people from the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce to observe in Wuling, so Song Chen had such comprehensive news.
"Wuling County is adjacent to the Yangtze River. I think these people are afraid..." Lantian looked at Wuling for a second on the sand table, and then flashed to Chengdu to the west in the second.
"Mr. I guessed right. These people were unwilling to farm with hoes and would rather work hard at the police wharf. Later, for some reason, there were fewer and fewer workers at the wharf. There were rumors that the Qingzhou soldiers were captured by the Yangtze River ghost..." Song Chen continued.
Lantian raised his head and laughed: "Rumored that the Yangtze River ghosts were burned to death by the Red Cliff? Those unjust souls were swam quite far away. Not only did they swim from Wulin to the police, but they also went up the Shuojiang River to Chengdu..."
Song Chen's eyes were open like a copper bell, thinking to himself, what the hell was talking about? He seemed to know something.
