"Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", this sentence was said by Cao Cao in the romance, Tian Fan didn't know if Lao Cao really said such a sentence, but one thing is certain, Sun Quan is a difficult master to deal with! Whether it's for Lao Cao or for Liu Bei. If Cao Cao really said such a sentence, then Tian Fan can be sure that when Liu Bei sees Sun Quan, who is young at this time, but has already performed very prominently, Liu Bei will also say such a sentence! In other words, Liu Bei's first baby is about to be born!

Liu Bei was surprised, because he had never heard Tian Fan speak so highly of that person! Looking at Tian Fan's serious face, Liu Bei came to his lips with a sentence "Really fake?" ", did not ask. However, there has been a strong interest in Sun Quan.

After thinking about it, he said slowly: "Boguang, since you have such a high opinion of this son, then...... When he comes to Xuzhou, I will personally go to see one or two! ”

After a slight pause, he glanced at Tian Fan and said, "You are responsible for the specific negotiations, how about it?" ”

Tian Fan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord, I don't have that ability, you better ask another master!" If I negotiate with him, hehe, don't worry, I will definitely sell Xuzhou! After a few laughs, he continued, "But...... Lord, I will take care of his reception! ”

Liu Bei thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes!" How are you going to receive him? ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, Sun Zhongmou is here to negotiate, then we must not show weakness, I naturally want to take him to see our powerful cavalry and foot soldiers!" Also, our granary and treasury, the support of the people of Xuzhou for us, etc., all of which must be seen by him. He has to feel that even if Jiangdong can take Xuzhou, he can't hold it! ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Okay, then you are responsible for receiving him." But...... Who should be sent to negotiate specifically? ”

Tian Fan frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Lord, the candidate for negotiation, I think Yuan Zhi and Wen He are good, they should be able to do it." Yuan is straightforward and good-mouthed, belonging to the type of dizziness that can fool people, Wenhe, hehe, Wenhe is even more powerful, he sold others, and people thanked him in their hearts, while helping him count the money. Well, I think these two are a good fit! ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Why don't you choose Ziyang and Gongtai?" ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Ziyang is better at formulating strategies than implementing tactics, and his ability to adapt to changes is slightly weaker than that of Yuan Zhi and Wen He. As for Gongtai, Gongtai is deeply influenced by Confucianism, is a decent person, and is a humble gentleman type of person, so it is okay for him to lead troops to fight, and it is okay to be a military advisor, but he can negotiate...... What is needed for negotiation is momentum, this is not the director of the public station, it is probably a little embarrassing! ”

Liu Bei thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, then it's them!" ”

After solving one thing, Liu Bei was in a good mood, he picked up the jade cup on the low table, took a sip, and said: "Boguang, Jiangdong's affairs, in general, can be done like this." But...... What should Jingzhou do? Yang'an's Ma Cheng and Pingyu's Shuzhi army are limited, but I'm afraid that when we attack Cao Aman, Jingsheng's side will take action! ”

Tian Fan nodded and asked, "Lord, have you determined the direction of the attack?" ”

Liu Bei frowned and shook his head, and said, "No, Gongtai, Ziyang, Changwen and others insisted on attacking Chen Liu, while Wenhe, Yuan Zhi, Yuan Long and others thought it was better to go straight to Xudu." There is no way to be quarreled with by them, so I can only put this matter on hold for the time being. ”

Tian Fan nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said, "If it is to attack Xudu, then ...... Once Jingzhou sends troops, the army is very likely to be attacked on both sides, and some are in danger. However, if you attack Chen Liu...... The emperor is in Xudu, and it doesn't make much sense to attack Chen Liu! This thing...... It's a bit embarrassing indeed. ”

Frowning and shaking his head, Tian Fan said: "Forget it, let them quarrel slowly about this matter, I won't mix it for the time being." But ......"

Looking at Liu Bei, Tian Fan said solemnly: "Lord, the front station of the attack on these two places can be set up in Suiyang, there is nothing to say." However, attacking different positions requires different strategies, so it is necessary to come up with a complete strategy within a month before the expedition. If it hasn't been after the time, then the lord must be dictatorial! ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm also worried!" Fighting these two places has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is really difficult for me to decide! ”

Looking at Liu Bei's sad face, Tian Fan sighed, it's really difficult for people to live!

The two of them were sad and relatively speechless, staring at each other with big eyes, and the car was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Tian Fan's eyes lit up and said, "Lord, I thought of one thing, which should be able to solve Jingzhou's threat to us. And ......" Tian Fan smiled mysteriously, raised his head and said: "As long as there is no accident, before we take the entire Central Plains, Jingzhou will not pose any threat to us!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly sat up straight, grabbed Tian Fan, and asked eagerly: "What idea, say it quickly!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said with a smug face: "Lord, now I admire myself too much, I am too prescient!" ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said, ", I'll talk about these useless things later, let me ask you, what can I do!" ”

Tian Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Lord, Chen Lan and Lei Bo, you should still have an impression, right?" ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again and said, "Hmm! These two people were originally Yuan Highway's subordinates, but later betrayed, and then during the first battle in Shu County, they were captured by you, and then persuaded to surrender. ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Not bad!" My lord, the reason why I want to persuade them to surrender is mainly because they have been bandits in Lishan for a long time! Hehe, my lord, they are now leading 10,000 men to train for mountain warfare on Dabie Mountain! ”

Liu Bei was anxious, gritted his teeth and said: "I know all this, tell me your way!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry, listen to me slowly!" ”

Scanning the carriage and finding no map, Tian Fan said: "Lord, where is the map?" Don't have a map? ”

Liu Bei hurriedly shouted, and a beautiful maid found a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty from the messy documents.

Liu Bei took the map, drove the maid away, helped Tian Fan clean up the low table, and then laid out the map, waiting for Tian Fan to solve his doubts.

Tian Fan looked at the map, found the location of Xiangyang, and said: "Lord, look, not far from the southeast of Xiangyang, that is, here, hey, why is this map not marked with mountains?" ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said: "Is this a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, or is it a miniature version, which only marks important mountains, rivers and lakes and towns, so it may be so complete?" The map on my house that is three feet long and two feet wide is very complete, and there is everything, but can it fit on this car? Less nonsense, talk fast! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Lord, there should be a mountain in this location!" Well, it's called Green Forest Mountain! Lord, look at the location of this mountain, and ...... here" Tian Fan pointed to a location in the east of Xiangyang and said: "This is Tongbai Mountain and Dafu Mountain, collectively known as Tongbai Dafu Mountain." Not far from the southeast of Tongbai Dafu Mountain, is Dabie Mountain. ”

Liu Bei followed the direction of his finger, carefully looked at the location of the three mountains, and after a while, he said puzzledly: "What do you say these three mountains are for?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, the key to the three mountains lies in the Green Forest Mountain. The green forest mountain has a radius of thousands of miles and a large area, but there are no extremely high peaks, and the difference in terrain is not large. Except for the highest peak in the middle, Baozhu Peak, which is relatively high, the rest of the place is not too high. However, the mountainous forests, mountain springs, and rivers crisscross the country, and the terrain is complex, and there is still a lot of land that can be cultivated. This mountain has a very interesting feature, a mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different temperatures, is a place very similar to Dabie Mountain. ”

Liu Bei was still a little stunned, and said, "And then?" ”

Tian Fan touched his nose and said, "Lord, can you imagine it yourself, don't let me say it all, okay?" ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said: "You are the general, I am the lord, you are the strategist, I am the mastermind, you make the idea, I make the decision!" Say it! ”

Tian Fan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, lord, count you ruthless!" Well, that's the case, aren't Chen Lan and Lei Bo training to fight in the mountains? As I said earlier, the climate of Dabie Mountain and Lulin Mountain is very close, and there is not much difference in terms of terrain. If Chen Lan and Lei Bo can adapt to the topography and climate of Dabie Mountain, then they will definitely be able to adapt to the terrain and climate of Lulin Mountain! Chen Lan and the others have been training for a while, and they already have experience as bandits, so once they have finished training, the lord orders them to enter the Green Forest Mountain, hehe...... An army of 10,000 is enough for Liu Jingsheng to drink a pot! ”

The more Liu Bei listened, the brighter his eyes became, and when Tian Fan finished speaking, he slapped the table excitedly and said loudly: "Okay, haha, great!" ”

After shouting, he took a breath of cold air like a toothache, shook his head, and said, "Boguang, 10,000 people, is it a little less?" ”

Tian Fan said with a smile: "Lord, we just want to make Jingzhou internally restless, and we don't want to take Jingzhou, 10,000 mountain bandits, and our support, it's enough!" ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Lord, after you go back, you immediately find someone to go to the Green Forest Mountain to familiarize yourself with the terrain on the mountain, and after that, send some people to go with a lot of money to buy a piece of land in the mountain, and then buy a large amount of grain, so as to lay the foundation for the future entry of the army." Also, Chen Lan and Lei Bo first sent a person to lead a thousand soldiers over, who were also familiar with the terrain and built a camp by the way. After that, when the camp was built, let the soldiers enter Jingzhou in batches and go to the green forest mountain. Hehe, when everything is ready, the soldiers will pretend to be thieves and go down the mountain to loot, presumably Jing Shenggong will not care whether we are in the sky or in the ground! ”

Liu Bei was so happy that he couldn't see his eyebrows, smiled for a long time, and said, "It's just...... According to you, there is a lot of land that can be cultivated in the green forest mountains, and the use of this land, together with the looting of the soldiers, should solve the food problem. However, the place in Jingzhou is damp, and the weapons and armor will be damaged quickly, how to replenish them? ”

Tian Fan said: "That's why I mentioned Tongbai Dafu Mountain!" Between Tongbai Dafu Mountain and Dabie Mountain, there is a small mountain called Jigong Mountain. Next to Jigong Mountain, there is a county seat, called Yan County. Yan County is about 200 miles away from Lulin Mountain...... That's not the point, the point is that there are only a few small settlements in between, and the largest city is Suixian. ”

In the end, Tian Fan concluded: "My lord, Ju County is on the east side of Jigong Mountain, close to our territory, and now it seems to be our place. As for Suixian...... Suixian to Xiangxiang is sandwiched by Tongbai Mountain and Green Forest Mountain, forming a narrow passage, this passage is the land passage connecting Jiangxia and Nanyang, and it is also the only land passage, when the time is ripe, as long as we occupy Suixian, Nanyang County is ours! ”

After Tian Fan finished speaking, Liu Bei's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth hard, Liu Bei waved his big hand, and said in a deep voice: "Green Forest Mountain, Yan County, we must occupy it!" ”
