Lan Ji's weapons were given by Gao Shun, and his clothes and mount were given by Guan Yu. Seeing his son's glory, Lan Tian felt vaguely that he had neglected his duty.

"Sir, Zhong Ling can kill Han Dang in more than ten rounds, which is quite remarkable." Gao Shun happily communicated with Lan Tian.

Lan Tian nodded lightly, "Han was already very old back then. The so-called boxing is afraid of young people, so he got an advantage. He was afraid that this child would not know the heights of the world."

"Young people have their own teenage madness. What do you call a young person if you don't have the energy to be aggressive?" Gao Shun comforted with a smile.

Lan Tian smiled bitterly and sighed: "The children have grown up so quickly, and soon I may not be able to control them anymore..."

"How could it be? Boyang and Zhongling are very sensible. I don't know how Boyang is doing in Guangzhou. We have been away for more than a month." Gao Shun frowned.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "I'm very relieved Boyang. This kid's martial arts may not be as good as Zhong Ling's, but he's calm and easy to follow me. He can be entrusted with big things in the future."

Gao Shun nodded, "Sir, of course he is very accurate in judging people. There are not many small traders left in Guangzhou city. With the help of Lu Tie, Song Chen and others in Boyang, the situation should be stable. It is a pity that General Sha is trapped in Longchuan.

This good opportunity cannot be used to make meritorious deeds."

"You can't say that, don't you know that both Dongting and Jiangxia have legends about Samoko?" Lan Tian smiled slightly.

"That's not Yide...Mr.'s thinking is like a wild horse running wild..." Gao Shun was startled at first, and then quickly smiled.

Most of the trapped troops were stationed outside Jiangling City, and only about a thousand people followed Lantian into the city to maintain law and order.

Because Guan Yu was not in the city at this time, Lantian could not occupy the Magpie Nest and settle in the Prefectural Mufu. Finally, he came to Jiangling Prefecture to discuss matters.

Pan Jun also served as the governor of Jiangling. He was criticized in history for taking refuge with Sun Quan, but he was well-read in poetry and books and was as capable as his cousin Jiang Wan.

Lan Tian originally wanted to suggest that Liu Bei take him to Shu, but this man was attached to his hometown in Jingzhou and asked Lan Tian for help through Jiang Wan's connections. In the end, Liu Bei went to Shu and left him to work in governance, assisting Guan Yu and Xu Shu in handling Jingzhou affairs.

Considering that Pan Jun had a "criminal record" in history, Lan Tian tactfully asked Xu Shu to take precautions against him and strictly prohibited Pan Jun from taking over military power.

When Lantian entered the prefect's mansion, Pan Jun immediately gave up the main hall of the mansion and stood aside respectfully to listen to orders. Faced with a person who could call the shots, Pan Jun showed due respect.

"Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou secretly. Chengming has worked hard these days." Lan Tian took the lead in comforting him.

Pan Jun cupped his hands and replied: "General Lan is so complimentary. It's a shame to say this. Being able to defend Jiangling at this time is a great service to the general. We civil servants can't actually help much."

"Everyone has a different division of labor and each performs his own duties. He also contributed a lot to pacifying the people. If Cheng Ming really wants to lead the army, he might as well go to Jiaozhou with Gong Yan (Jiang Wan) to serve?" Lan Tian said deliberately.

Pan Jun didn't know why Lan Tian had a prejudice against him. Although he was cautious in getting along with Guan Yu in Jingzhou, his bright personality was easy to deal with. He didn't know what he would do to Jiaozhou, and he didn't like that barbaric land.

"Thank you for your kindness, general. Jun's position in Jingzhou is already beyond his capabilities, so it's better not to cause trouble to Jiaozhou." Pan Jun declined quickly.

Although Lan Tian showed good intentions with his fists, they were just polite words. Seeing Pan Jun refuse, he changed the topic and followed up with instructions: "Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi are not here, so I have to override and give orders on their behalf. Jiangdong's sneak attack has been

After being discovered, I worked hard and called all the heads of the government offices in Jiangling to help the people resume production and life as soon as possible."

Pan Jun complimented: "The general never forgets the people's livelihood. It is really admirable. Jiangdong is coming fiercely this time. Fortunately, you came from Jiaozhou to support. There are troops stationed in Jiangling. I don't think Lu Meng dared to stroke the tiger's beard."

Lan Tian quickly shook his head, "The rats in Jiangdong haven't been cleaned up yet. The trapped troops will only take a short rest here, but the crisis in Jiangling City should be resolved. General Xiang performed outstandingly in the city defense battle. You must continue to shoulder the heavy burden of city defense. I will ask for credit from Yunchang."

"Thank you, General, for your support." Xiang Xun clasped his fists excitedly.

"I'll go and take care of my humble duty first." Pan Jun bowed his hands and exited the hall, and went to summon the officials according to Lan Tian's request.

Lu Meng led his warships to sail westward up the Yangtze River. Lan Tian then asked Gao Shun to take out the map. In order to teach Sun Quan a profound lesson, he planned to leave all these Jiangdong soldiers behind.

Lan Tian and Gao Shun discussed the battle map, and Pan Jun came to visit with a group of Jingzhou officials. Lan Tian gave a passionate speech to these people, with the purpose of stabilizing the officials and people in the war zone, saying that the days of fear were over. The rest of the matter will be dealt with slowly when Xu Shu comes back.

Everyone nodded along with Pan Jun. When they left the government office, everyone was full of confidence. Some of them had already packed their bags and stored their gold, silver and land deeds properly after returning home. They didn't have to leave their homes and businesses and leave their homeland. Naturally, everyone was happy. thing.

It was already late at night after appeasing the Jingzhou officials. Lan Tian refused Pan Jun's accommodation arrangement in the prefect's mansion. He chose to go back to the camp with Gao Shun outside the city to rest. The defenders of Jiangling City were finally able to have a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Lan Tian and Gao Shun both got up very early, waiting for news from the reconnaissance camp.

It was already late when we arrived last night. We only heard that Lu Meng and his fleet fled to the Yangtze River. Neither of them understood this mysterious operation. If Lu Meng really wanted to escape back to Jiangdong, he should have turned the ship's bow from Yangshui to Hanshui. With Lu Meng's current strength and number of warships, Gan Ning couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

While Lan Tian was playing Wu Qin Xi, Gao Shun came over from outside the camp with a smile.

"Boping, is there news about Chu Qing's return?" Lan Tian asked loudly from across the tent.

Gao Shun replied loudly: "Zhong Ling is here."

Lan Tian stopped what he was doing and saw Lan Ji appear with a young man, it was Guan Xing, the second son of Guan Yu.

"Father."

"uncle."

Lan Ji asked Guan Xing to go home first last night and arranged for his family to pack their bags and was about to leave. He was told that Lan Tian had arrived with reinforcements. He wanted to go to visit him last night, but Lan Tian kept talking to the officials and later hurriedly left the city to rest.

"It turns out that Anguo is here. I heard that you performed well in the battle to defend the city. It turns out that the father of a tiger has no son." Lan Tian said with a kind face.

Guan Xing scratched his head and replied: "I am nothing, but Zhong Ling is more powerful."

"Father, An Guo's sword skills are very good." Lan Ji quickly added.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "You don't need to praise each other. There is a word you remember. The eyes of the people are sharp."

"I can spare it." Guan Xing nodded.

The two children couldn't hide anything, and their subtle expressions were noticed by Lan Tian, ​​so he followed up: "Do you have anything else?"

Guan Xing was evasive and didn't answer. Lan Ji forced himself to smile and asked: "Father, you and Uncle Gao were studying the map last night. Are you going to pursue Lu Meng? Can you also let us follow the army?"
