All the soldiers, horses, money and food from Jiuzhen and Hepu counties were taken away, leaving an empty shell to return to the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou. Scholars believed that after Lantian took over, it would take a long time to rectify it, hoping that by delaying the time, Sun Quan could send troops to Jiaozhou to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

'.

Lan Tian saw through Shi Xie's plan. He accepted all the orders and used them as he saw. The advanced political system of Jiaozhou was reflected in its advantages.

The young officials Li Cao had prepared long ago, with the support of Li Yishui's army in Danzhou Military Port and Wuxi Man in Rinan Samoko, quickly stabilized the security of the two counties.

The extremely scarce supplies in the two counties were alleviated by Hu Cao's unified dispatch, and the people in the two places gradually resumed production. There were no incidents of civilian riots or breakdown of public security.

When the Shi family was dazzled, Sun Quan from Jiangdong finally brought them news that Shi Ren, the eldest son of Dong Wu who was a hostage, returned to Jiaozhou and temporarily stayed in Hepu County of Shi Zhi.

Shi Xie's purpose was very clear. Sun Quan's special envoy 'Sun Bu' brought him back to succeed him. Now that Shi Xie was old and sick and unable to manage politics, Sun Quan appointed a successor for the Shi family. After all, Shi Xie had been 'trained' in Jiangdong for many years.

It is in Sun Quan's interest that Ren succeeds to the throne, and Jiangdong is willing to send troops to help the scholar family.

Sun Quan's deployment disrupted Shi Xie's plan. After discussing countermeasures with the two brothers Shi 1 and Shi?, they finally agreed to let Shi Xie succeed the head of the Shi family. However, the military power could not fall into the hands of "Sun Bu" under any circumstances. In the future, Sun Quan

He fought with Lantian to a bloody head, and then tried to find a way to get rid of 'Sun Bu' to ensure the Shi family's absolute power in Jiaozhi.

Although the three brothers of the Shi family were working for the overall situation, they seriously affected Shi Hui's rights and interests. The successor originally designated by Shi Xie suddenly became an abandoned son of the Shi family. This is like being promoted to a leadership position and finishing the job.

But someone else got there first.

On the surface, Shi Hui said he didn't care, but secretly colluded with Shi Kuang, Shi Kuang's son, in an attempt to capture Shi Ren and Sun Bu outside Jiaozhi. However, Shi Xie knew Shi Hui's character too well and once again banned the ambitious third son.

At home, Shi Lin, Sun Bu and his party entered Longbian smoothly.

When Shi Ren returned from Jiangdong with great honor, all those who originally attached to Shi Hui changed their minds. Shi Xie brought his "sick body" to summon the Shi family members. Witnessed by Sun Quan's special envoy "Sun Bu", he warmly welcomed his eldest son who had returned from suffering abroad and said

After the year, he officially passed on the title of head of the family.

Shi Xie's speech at the clan meeting was equivalent to announcing that Shi Ren would soon be the master of Jiaozhi. Shi Hui in the crowd was like a clown, and he felt boundless ridicule and unwillingness.

In the end, Shi Hui made a crazy decision. He decided to report the Shi family's conspiracy to Lantian, and on the way to Longbian, he asked Shi Kuang to call his father, Shi 1, and tell the truth about his plan.

After hearing this, Shi 1 was horrified. He pointed at his son and Shi Hui and exclaimed: "Are you two crazy? This is a total disaster for the Shi family. Jiaozhi will definitely fall into Lantian's hands from now on. You are worthy of your eldest brother."

All these years of forbearance?”

Shi Hui sneered and said: "My nephew doesn't care at all. Shi Ren is already Sun Quan's puppet. Instead of giving Jiaozhi to the rats from Jiangdong, it would be better to take advantage of the orthodox Jiaozhou Mu."

"Confused, this is just a temporary measure. After Jiangdong and Lantian turn against each other, I will take action to deal with Sun Bu and others. Jiaozhi still belongs to our family, and maybe we can take back Jiuzhen County." Shi 1

He shook his head sadly.

Shi Hui said disdainfully: "Lantian, Sun Quan turned against each other? What happens after they decide the winner? Can Jiaozhi escape the fate of being swallowed up? It's just a matter of time. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."

"But if you plunge the Shi family into the abyss like this, how many innocent people in Jiaozhi will be affected? My eldest brother and I have no time to prepare." Shi 1's face was full of bitterness.

Shi Kuang said easily: "Father, my brother has a good idea. You might as well listen to him."

"Good strategy? Tell me." Shi 1 frowned, thinking that although Shi Hui's ambition was great, his abilities were mediocre, and he didn't know what kind of plan he could come up with.

Shi Hui stroked his beard and replied: "My nephew's plan is called a chain plan. I tricked Lantian into dealing with Sun Bu and others. The second uncle has to persuade the third uncle to mobilize troops to destroy the trapped troops. Lantian will fall into our hands by then.

, wouldn’t it be good to use him to control the entire Jiaozhou? At that time, we will form an alliance with Sun Quan. Sun, Liu and Cao are fighting fiercely in the Central Plains. Who has the mind to control Jiaozhou?”

"Hiss...you are so brave..." Shi 1 was dumbfounded.

"Father, instead of passively waiting for death, it is better to take a risk." Shi Kuang stood up and spoke for Shi Hui.

"Second uncle, who is a coward who wants to fight for the world? Although our Shi family does not want to fight for the world, we are submissive and easily bullied. It's time to be tough." Shi Hui continued to reason.

Seeing that the Shi family finally produced a passionate man, Shi 1 fiercely slapped the table and said: "Okay, I will accompany you young man to go crazy for a while, but this matter must not be known to the eldest brother. With his cautious character, he will definitely disagree.

.”

"With the help of you and third uncle, I will ask people to fight for military power on behalf of my fourth and fifth brothers. When the time comes, I will command 50,000 troops in Jiaozhi. I don't believe that the Lantian army can stop them." Shi Hui clenched his fists.

"Don't be careless, the trapped army is really strong." Soldier 1 reminded.

Shi Hui didn't take it seriously, "The trapped army turned out to be strong, but that was all the result of Gao Shun, but Gao Shun has now removed his armor, and the trapped army has been handed over to Commander Lan Yuan. This man is still a young boy, how can he be as good as Gao Shun?"

Shun’s ability?”

"Uh...be careful anyway." Scholar 1 also felt the same way.

Shi Hui and Shi 1 did not know about Shi Xie's intensive deployment. It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the Danzhou navy patrol boat entered the inland river of Jiaozhi and Quyang County sent an enemy attack report to Long Bian. Shi Xie did not know about Lantian's "heavy invasion"

.

Seeing that Lan Tian was so ungrateful in martial arts, Shi Xie had no choice but to call Shi 1, Shi?, Shi Gan, and Shi Song to the front of him, and urgently mobilized all the garrison troops in Jiaozhi to move towards Longbian, intending to be the last to trap the beast.

fight.

When Lantian reached fifty miles southeast of Longbian, Chu Qing from the reconnaissance battalion rushed over to report the military situation.

"Sir, Major General, Shi Xie is arrayed outside Longbian City. There are signs of army mobilization on both the east and west wings. It seems that the Shi family has evil intentions."

"Where is Wuxi Man now?" Lan Tian asked.

Chu Qing clasped his fists and replied: "General Sha is determined to show off his power with the war elephants, and we are still half a day away."

Lan Yuan suggested: "Father, should we wait? After all, there are fifty thousand troops in Cochin."

"We are not here to fight. The 50,000 rabble are also the citizens of Jiaozhou. Defeating two formations will serve as a deterrent. Send the order and set up camp ten miles away. Wait for General Sha to be more secure." Lan Tian nodded in agreement.

The trapped troops arrived at the camp site and echoed the patrol boats in the river to the east. At this time, the sun was still some time away from setting, so Lan Tian sat on the ground and soaked up the sunshine.

"Father, it's still early? Why are we taking a rest? Soldiers are so quick." Lan Ji held a painted halberd in his hand and looked puzzled.

During this trip to Jiaozhi, Lantian did not plan to bring the youth camp with him. Lan Ji asked for a favor through Gao Shun and followed behind the trapped troops as a reserve to observe the actual combat of the trapped troops on the spot. Gao Shun, as the Supervisor of Huben Wutang, also followed.

We ate and slept together with the youth camp.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "There are signs of abnormal movement of the Jiaozhi army. Let's stop for the time being and wait for General Sha to join us. We will also observe what the observer's family wants to do. If we really want to do it, we will not be lenient."
