Lan Tian and Lai Gong chatted for a while in the side hall. Lai Gong thought that his family was still waiting at the dock, so he said goodbye to Lan Tian and prepared to leave.

The two of them came out of the side hall at the same time, walked side by side along the courtyard road to the palace gate, and suddenly stopped in Lantian when they reached the temple gate. (Note: In the Han Dynasty, the government called the temple, and the temple was the screen behind the door.

)

"My sister and nephew are far away in Chengdu. Although they have a distinguished status, they are foreigners after all. In addition, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu are also around. The lord may not be able to cover everything. Deshun will always be with the lord when he comes to Shu. Please take care of him.

Tian’s relatives..." Lan Tian bowed his hands.

Lai Gong was shocked and said: "Mrs. Gan and the Crown Prince are members of the lord's family, but the lord's family affairs are state affairs. I will definitely advise you with all my heart."

Lan Tian nodded and sighed, "Thank you very much. My lord is actually very measured. I'm just asking for peace of mind. After all, it's not easy to meet each other in high mountains and rivers..."

Lai Gong solemnly replied: "My husband's relatives are my relatives, so you can rest assured..."

"Then I'll take you to the pier." Lan Tian waved his hand and gestured to go around Fuao.

Lai Gong shook his head quickly: "Sir, there are many things going on when you first come to Jiaozhou. Colonel Hu is still waiting in the main hall. You are already here with great courtesy. Lai Gong takes his leave..."

Lantian nodded immediately and did not insist on sending it again.

Lai Gong walked around the temple and walked out of the temple, while Lan Tian returned to the front hall of the main hall to see Hu Ke. Only Gao Yuan and him were there in the hall.

"Let's go, let's talk in the back hall." Lan Tian stretched out his hand, and Hu Ke and Gao Yuan immediately followed.

Since the establishment of the Jiaozhou Governor's Department in the Western Han Dynasty, Guangxin has always been the administrative seat of Jiaozhou. However, Zhu Fu and Zhang Jin, the governors of Jiaozhou, died one after another. Liu Biao first sent Lai Gong as the governor of Jiaozhou, and later appointed Wu Ju as the prefect of Cangwu.

The two refused to give way to each other in Jiaozhou. Lai Gong later lost to Wu Ju and was driven to Yulin, so Guangxin fell into Wu Ju's control. The state capital became Wu Ju's general palace. The layout of the palace was based on the big cities in the Central Plains.

In this official temple, the front hall of the main hall is grand and spacious, with echoes. It is generally used only for large court meetings, and more often, the back hall of the main hall is used for discussions.

Lan Tian and Hu Ke sat down in the back hall, "Looking at the relaxed look on your face, is there something happy happening over there at Shi Hui?"

Hu Ke answered with clasped fists: "Recently, Shi Hui received a letter from Jiangdong Zhang Zhao. In the letter, Zhang Zhao rebuked Shi Hui for poisoning Wei Jing and threatened to use all his troops to attack the Shi family. If he knew the current situation and re-ceded the South China Sea, he could avoid military disasters.

, otherwise we will first kill the soldiers who are holding hostages in Jiangdong to sacrifice the flag."

"Sun Quan's navy did not dare to move lightly, and Cheng Pu's land troops were almost completely destroyed. What could he use to attack the scholars?"

Lan Tian was startled when he heard this. Since defeating Sun Quan, his attention has not been there. It may be because of the war between the two families, and the Press and Press Office has very little information about Jiangdong.

Hu Ke: "Zhang Zhao has explained clearly in the letter that Sun Quan has sent He Qi as the general and Lu Xun as the deputy general to Yuzhang. If you follow Luling and go down, you will reach the South China Sea..."

"Go get the map of Yangzhou." Lan Tian's originally relaxed nerves became tense. Lu Xun was a figure who could support Jiangdong's appearance. If he really sent Jiaozhou to confront him, he would not dare to take it lightly.

"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and left.

While Gaoyuan was taking the map, Lan Tian frowned and continued to ask: "What is Shi Hui's attitude? Is it to fight or to cede the South China Sea?"

"Haven't you seen the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Formation Army before? It only suppressed the rebellion of the local Yue Yi. It has no ability to compete with the Central Plains Army. However, Nanhai is a major salt-producing county in Jiaozhou, and Shi Hui does not want to give up this area yet.

Fatty, so he thought of us." Hu Ke replied.

Lan Tian snorted coldly: "The so-called brothers are like brothers. Jiangdong threatened his eldest brother's life. It seems that Shi Hui is still indifferent..."

"Shiren is Shixie's eldest son. If he is really killed by Sun Quan, Shihui can justifiably inherit the title. Of course he will be indifferent." Hu Ke analyzed.

"Power, wealth and honor are like a touchstone, testing out monsters and demons in the world. As for whether to send troops to assist Shi Hui, I will analyze it after I get the map of Yangzhou. Jiaozhou has just started now. If it is dragged into the quagmire of war, development will be delayed for who knows how long.

.." Lan Tian shook his head.

Hu Ke nodded, "I have been putting pressure on Shi Hui for a long time. It would be best if the Shi family can take the initiative to give up the South China Sea..."

"If you can really achieve this extraordinary feat, I will recommend you to the lord as the governor of Nanhai." Lan Tian encouraged.

Hu Ke smiled slightly: "As a humble official, I don't think I have the ability to take charge of a political party, but it is quite exciting to do such a detailed job."

When Lan Tian heard this, good guy, you are addicted to playing undercover. Do you want to set up a confidentiality bureau for you?

"One thing I have never understood is why Wei Bai, who accused Wei Jing of poisoning, escaped under Shi Hui's nose? Shouldn't he have been executed or sent to a place like Long Bian?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

.

Hu Ke was a little proud when he heard this: "After expelling Jiangdong's soldiers and horses from Jiaozhou, I threatened Shi Hui that Jiangdong might come to seek revenge, and asked him to go back to Jiaozhi to discuss countermeasures with Shixie. It was during the time when Shihui went to Jiaozhi

Here, Wei Bai found an opportunity to escape from Panyu..."

"Did you do anything wrong?" Lan Tian frowned.

Hu Ke chuckled: "Wouldn't it be exposed if I did something? At that time, I went to Jiaozhi with Shi Hui because I was in a low position. Because I left in a hurry, I had no time to deal with Wei Bai, but Wu Ding's caravan stayed in Panyu.

"

"A boy who is smart and knowledgeable can be taught." Lan Tian looked pleased.

The masters who make a fortune at the gambling table usually have companions to cover them, so that their flaws are not easily exposed.

Hu Ke felt happy when he received Lan Tian's affirmation. Although this was related to his personality, without the courses in the Wushu Hall, he would not have reached his current heights.

While the two were talking, Gao Yuan brought a map of Yangzhou and hung it on the wall.

Lan Tian walked under the map and looked carefully. Sun Quan claimed to command six counties and eighty-one states in Jiangdong. The population and wealth of Jiangdong were mainly concentrated in the Wuhui area in the northeast. Yuzhang and Luling, which bordered Jingzhou in the west, also had some development.

If there were illuminated aerial photography at that time, the population gathering area in Jiangdong would be like a crescent moon. The vast part where the moon is empty is full of mountains and few rivers. These places are dotted with uncivilized mountainous communities, and they are also Soochow's enemies from beginning to end.

Lan Tian was instantly relieved after reading the map. He Qi and Lu Xun would not go all the way around in a big circle to seize the South China Sea. Even if they could successfully occupy the South China Sea, they would still need a heavy garrison. After all, some people had tried the power of the trapped army, but there were too few people.

But it's not good enough for hands-on training.

"Go back immediately and tell Shi Hui that I will send troops to garrison in the South China Sea, but the military expenses need to be paid by yourself. There is no such thing as free food and drink in this world." Lan Tian ordered Hu Ke.

Hu Ke nodded, "They must know this, but aren't you worried about Jiang Dong?"
