Chapter 36 What's next?
Ganji slept all night after taking the decoction. The next day, his body temperature gradually became normal, but he was still too weak to get out of bed. Lantian had to keep adding or removing quilts at night, so he didn't sleep much.
It became clear the next day that the two doctors were worried about their wives and children, so Lan Tian asked them to go back to the city.
Gao Yuan brought back a lot of medicinal materials from the medicine shop last night. The two doctors had already divided them according to the portions. There is no need to purchase more medicinal materials in the short term.
In the morning, Li Yang came to Lantian's house and brought some cooked food. Lantian was worried that Ganji had no appetite, so he lit a fire and planned to cook some corn porridge.
In the original world, Lan Tian lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who raised him up. So when he came to this world, he realized the long-lost father's love, so he worked hard without complaint.
Upon seeing this, Li Yang said: "Young master, I'll do it. You're feeling depressed. Go and rest for a while. Don't worry while I do the work."
Because Lan Tian was really tired, he did not refuse Li Yang's enthusiasm. When he passed by the main room, he accidentally glanced and found someone coming towards his home.
When he walked out of the small courtyard, he saw that the road outside the village was full of marching soldiers.
Lan Tianxin said that he had no idea when this happened.
When they got closer, it was Gao Shun who brought Gan Qian back.
"Brother, how is daddy?" Gan Qian asked as she jogged all the way.
"Don't worry, sister. Dad is feeling better after taking the medicine. Xiao Lizi is making porridge for him now." Lan Tian supported Gan Qian and said.
"That's good. I'll go in and see Dad first, and you can greet General Gao." Gan Qian said.
"I can spare it."
At this time, Gao Shun came over alone, and several Gao Yuan soldiers were waiting under the big tree outside the courtyard.
Lan Tian pointed to the marching troops and asked: "General, didn't you say you need to rest for two days? This is..."
"There are still a lot of military affairs in Xiapi. It would be better for me to go back early. I brought Mrs. Gan here on the way."
In fact, where did Xiapi's military affairs come from? Lantian's words last night were so shocking. This guy's predictions have always been very accurate. He was worried about Lu Bu's comfort, so he wanted to go back quickly.
"I see, thank you for taking care of my sister..." Lan Tian thanked her with a cupped hand.
"It's just a little effort, not to mention this is what the lady told me before leaving," Gao Shun said.
Lan Tian nodded, not knowing how his ideological work was yesterday. The only hope now is the Gao Shun in front of him.
At this moment, he felt very powerless. So what about a graduate degree? What about being familiar with ancient and modern history? Individuals are simply too insignificant in the torrent of history and can easily be drowned.
"General, if you are not in a hurry, could you please come home and have a bowl of hot water?" Lan Tian invited, he planned to do some more work.
Gao Shun shook his head at first, thinking that the army would have to travel far. He suddenly saw the plateau under the big trees, and remembered that this guy was so excited about what he had told him in the morning, so he said: "I heard that Mr. Ziyu has a secret cabin. I passed by today and I don't know if it is convenient."
Do you think so?"
"If it's inconvenient, please come with me." After Lantian said that, he took Gao Shun to the back of the house.
After a brief visit, Gao Shun praised: "Mr. Ziyu has a quick mind. In addition to avoiding disasters, this shelter can also be used for war. Mr. Ziyu is really a genius in this world."
"General, stop boasting. As General Liu said, no matter how good this shelter is, it can't stop all the swords in the world." Lan Tian sighed.
Gao Shun nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. It's not easy to live in troubled times. Please take care of yourself, sir. I'm still on my way."
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to leave, Lan Tian hurriedly took out a piece of bamboo from his arms and handed it over and said: "General, I don't know what will happen next. Thanks to the general for blessing me many times, Lan Tian has nothing to say thanks. I can only give you numbers. I hope you will, general."
treasure..."
Gao Shun took a look at the piece of bamboo and wrote: Lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai.
Lantian reminded himself again, could it be that the master's danger is approaching?
Gao Shun treasured the bamboo slips close to his body, then clasped his fists in salute and left in a hurry.
Lantian walked back to the entrance of the courtyard and found Gan Qian also looking into the distance.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering when Xuande will return. This time Xiaopei was captured and his entire army was almost wiped out. How could it have been so bad if General Gao hadn't taken care of him several times?" Gan Qian sighed.
Lan Tian smiled and consoled him: "Don't worry, sister, General Liu will be back soon, and he will be back very soon."
Gan Qian saw that Lan Tian's words were true, so she asked: "How can you see it?"
"How can Cao Cao be at ease with the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu? If General Liu is defeated, he will surrender to Xudu. When Cao Cao hears the news, he will definitely send troops to Xuzhou. We will see the outcome after a while," Lan Tian said.
Gan Qian saw that Lan Tian's words were true, and she couldn't help but worry. The name Cao Cao was too scary in Xuzhou, and she didn't know how many lives would suffer.
Only ten days after Gao Shun returned to Xiapi, Cao Cao personally led an army to conquer Xuzhou.
Hearing this, Chen Gong took the initiative to propose a plan: "Cao Cao will be tired when he comes from afar. The general can lead his army to resist Pengcheng, and then retreat steadily based on the terrain. The saying goes that one vigorous effort will be exhausted and the other three will weaken. Once they are dragged into winter, Cao Cao's army will inevitably retreat."
Chen Gong was not working hard when Lu Bu was fighting Yuan Shu, but now when it came to dealing with Cao Cao, he was more active than anyone else.
Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong suspiciously, and then said: "I already understand Gongtai's plan. Let me discuss it with Bo Ping, Wen Yuan and the others first."
"Okay, general, please remember that if you are too late, things will change." Chen Gong warned.
Lu Bu did not go to Gao Shun or Zhang Liao for discussion. Instead, he went to the Chen family in Xiapi to find Chen Gui.
Chen Gui suggested that Lu Bu wait for work in Xia Pi, and then rush out with all his strength when Cao's army comes, and take advantage of the situation to drive Cao's soldiers into the Si River.
Chen Gui also said that he was going to Guangling and asked his son Chen Deng to bring troops, horses, money and food for reinforcements.
Lu Bu was overjoyed after hearing this, so he went to Pengcheng to resist the enemy, regardless of Chen Gong's advice.
In October of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army came to Pengcheng and massacred all men, women, old and children.
Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, originally wanted to lead his troops to rescue Lu Bu, but when he heard that Pengcheng was massacred, he was frightened, so he changed his tune and led his troops to clear the way for Cao Cao's advance.
When Cao's army reached the outskirts of Xiapi, Lü Bu personally led his army to meet the enemy. However, several attacks were defeated, so he led his troops back to Xiapi to defend.
Cao Cao sent people to shoot a letter with arrows to the city, saying that Lu Bu had indulged the bandit Han Xian and Yang Feng had caused trouble for Xu Yang. He also colluded with the national bandit Yuan Shu to cause chaos.
Lu Bu was defeated, and now he received a threatening letter from Cao Cao, which made him fearful and wanted to surrender.
Chen Gong was shocked when he found out. He advised him: "Cao Cao's arrival from afar will not last long. If the general leads troops to garrison outside the city, I and the other generals will stay inside the city to act as a counterattack."
If Cao's thieves attack the general, the palace will lead troops to attack behind it. If Cao's thieves dare to attack the city, the general will also attack behind it. After ten months, Cao's army will run out of food, and if they join forces and attack at that time, they will be destroyed."
At this time, Chen Deng changed sides and Chen Gui was not in the city. Lü Bu had no one around him to ask for advice, so he had to listen to Chen Gong's plan.
In order to order Chen Gong and Gao Shun to defend the city, he led his troops out of the city to station in order to cut off Cao's army's food route.
Lu Bu knew that this battle was dangerous, so he went to the back hall to get his clothes and say goodbye to his wife and children. At this time, Yan stopped talking.
