The old man was Zhang Zhao. Because Hu Ke wanted to take charge of Jianye, he was asked to go out of the city to work hard and deepen his impression in front of Lantian.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao was very happy. The biggest promoter of controlling Jianye was Hu Ke. He thought Hu Ke would take away his merits, but in the end he gave the merits to himself. Zhang Zhaoxin said that Yu Xiuzhen is a friend that he can make, and he feels like he wished he had met too late.

Zhang Zhao mobilized the aristocratic families in the city and asked them to prepare a lot of fruits, fruits, wine and meat to send them to the wharf to the dock to welcome the king's army into the city. When Zhang Zhao stood by the Yangtze River to breathe the wind, he felt relieved. He thought that he could not lead Sun Quan in the end, so he could only find a big tree to protect his descendants.

The soldiers on the boat got off the boat one after another, and Lantian was curious about who was coming to greet him. Suddenly, Zhang Cheng behind him was very excited.

"Father, why are you..."

"Zhongsi?" When Zhang Zhao saw Zhang Cheng, he also saw Lantian with stars surging the moon, so he ignored his son and hurriedly met him, "Old minister Zhang Zhao paid homage to General Lan."

"Mr. Zibu, please get up quickly. This time, Jiangdong can return to the Han Dynasty, you have made great contributions. I will report to Your Majesty to reward you for your merits." Lantian helped Zhang Zhao up with both hands.

Under the flames, the two of them looked at each other in a short time. Although Zhang Zhao was not young, he was still energetic. No wonder he was an irritable old man, and Lan Tian’s every move was steady and confident, and he was indeed like a talented person who stirred up the storm.

"If General Lan had not commanded the royal army, it would have been difficult for the land of Jiangdong to see the sky again. Zhang Zhao's achievements were not worth mentioning. However, Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) followed the general and should not have caused you any trouble, right?" Zhang Zhao was very modest.

Lantian said as everyone, "Zhongsi has made many contributions this time. Before the army left Chaisang, he sent his personal followers to Ai County to cooperate with my men to surrender Zhu Ran. At this time, the entire territory of Yuzhang and Luling should have been pacified. Your Majesty will not forget your father and son, and the Han Dynasty will also remember your contributions."

"The general is really over-reputable, your soldiers..."

Zhang Zhao found that in addition to some of the soldiers in Lantian were gathering in line, some were looking for places to build tents. The gate dock was only a few miles away from Jianye. Will they not go to the city to rest?

Lantian turned around slightly, then explained with a smile: "It was very shaky to rest on the boat, and many soldiers were used to sleeping on land, so they simply set up camp."

"Uh...so that's how it is." Zhang Zhao nodded, then smiled and said, "The ministers have prepared a banquet in Jianye. Please invite General Lan and the generals to enter the city to attend the banquet first. When the old minister returns, he asks someone to send some food, wine and drink to the dock."

After hearing this, Lan Tian waved his hand quickly: "It's too late now. When you enter the city, you are afraid of disturbing the people. You'll just rest at the pier for a night. It's not too late to enter the city tomorrow morning."

"The general is so kind. This is the blessing of the people and the blessing of Jiangdong." Zhang Zhao praised with a smile.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly reminded: "Father, General Lan is His Majesty's new governor of Yangzhou."

"The Lord of the Palace is a capable minister in governing the world, and Yangzhou will never have to worry about food and clothing from now on." Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that Liu Bei was determined to win Jiangdong and would basically not leave any opportunities for Sun Quan.

"Tian Fu came to Jiangdong and was not familiar with the place, so he had to rely on his husband in the future." Lan Tian was very polite to Zhang Zhao.

"If you can use the old minister's place, you are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation." Zhang Zhao first responded with a fist, and suddenly asked softly: "The officials and people in the city are still waiting. If the general does not enter the city tonight, can you let the dog go back to the city to report the news? I stayed to accompany you."

"Uh...you can go back together." Lan Tian mistakenly thought that Zhang Zhao wanted to keep the hostages, so he agreed very happily, and called Lan Yuan to instruct: "Go and ask Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) and others, and count if anyone else wants to go home. Just go back with Mr. Zibu and his son."

"Vei." Lan Yuan left with his fists.

Zhang Zhaoxin said that Yu Xiu gave up the opportunity to deepen his impression, how could I let it go so easily? So she waved her hand and explained: "I heard that the governance of Jiaozhou is novel and effective. The old minister stayed to ask you for advice. Zhongsi just needs to go back alone."

"Uh... I'll follow the general's arrangement." Zhang Cheng looked at the two of them and finally gave Zhang Zhao's satisfactory answer.

"Listen to your father." Lan Tian nodded speechlessly, thinking to himself, "Why are you father and son doing this to sing a double act?"

But what Lan Tian didn't expect was that Lan Yuan asked almost all the surrendered generals, and no one was willing to go into the city at this time, and they were willing to follow the army into the city tomorrow.

While Lantian was greeting Zhang Zhao on the shore, a simple tent next to the dock had been set up. Lantian invited all the generals to take shelter from the tent, while Zhang Zhao asked someone to send the wine and meat into the tent.

The seats in the big tent were orderly. If a general of Jiangdong accidentally broke in, he would mistakenly think that he had entered Sun Quan's main tent. Zhang Zhao was the leader on the left and sat down according to the original official position. They were all surrendered generals from Jiangdong, and Gan Ning on the right, and all were generals led by Lantian. The Lan brothers were listed in the second and third.

"Chengyuan, come and introduce it to Mr. Zibu." Lantian directly clicked Ding Feng. Now he is still a captain in Jiangdong, so he lives in the last seat on the left.

"Wei." Ding Feng stood up with his fists.

Zhang Zhao nodded gently while picking his beard, thinking that you, boy, run faster than me, seems that Lantian attaches more importance to it, and this person's success may not be very low.

When Zhang Zhao heard Ding Feng introduce the Lan brothers, his eyes lit up and felt moved, saying that these two brothers are indeed well-known, and they are so majestic and promising, they will definitely be powerful officials in the court in the future. At that time, the prestige of the Lan family was probably not inferior to Guan and Zhang. The eldest son Zhang Cheng was inconvenient to date the Lan brothers. The second son Zhang Xiu was born in the same year as Lan Yuan, so he should be able to have more contact.

Seeing Zhang Zhao nodding frequently and after Ding Feng's introduction, Lan Tian asked Zhang Zhao with a sincere look: "Sun Quan's naval army suddenly withdrew just now. It seems that he intends to retain his strength and resist stubbornly, but I don't want to use more weapons in Yangzhou. Mr. Zibu has always been very wise, can he help me pacify Jiangdong?"

"The general's words show kindness. Zhao just looked at the generals in the tent. Only Lu Boyan was there around Sun Quan. Although the two were in-laws, Sun Quan had always been guarding against Lu Xun. As long as the general finds a way to persuade Lu Xun to surrender, the remaining mediocre generals will surrender." Zhang Zhao bowed and replied.

"Today I tried to persuade the surrender in front of the battlefield, but the Grand Governor did not appreciate it." Lan Tian shook his head.

Zhang Zhao replied: "Lu Boyan is cautious and calm by nature. It is not feasible to surrender him in a few words. He can only send more people to explain the righteousness. He is also the patriarch of the Lu family, and the general can threaten his family."

"Lu Xun has learned a lot and is not a gentleman with hostages. It's better to listen to the words of his teacher and send more people to persuade him to surrender. I heard that Sun Quan's naval army was stationed in Jiangcheng. General Gan would take a warship to overwhelm tomorrow. I wonder who in the tent would like to persuade him to surrender?" Lan Tian asked in a glance at everyone.
