There is no highway bus transportation from Chengdu Airport to Lanzhou City. Hence, you might need to get to Chengdu City, and then transfer to a highway bus or a train to Lanzhou City.
I have not heard about this yet, and no related information on the internet is released. Getting to Jiuzhaigou by air can save you much time.
There is no fast train from Chengdu to YIchang , just normal train. You can take the train K1196 from Chengdu train station. The train leaves Chengdu at 10:48 pm and arrive in Yichang at 1:09pm next day. The fare for soft sleeper is RMB379 per person.
Dear Rumi,
It is about 1960 km between Chengdu and Guangzhou. There is no direct bus to take. As long distance, I don't suggest you take a long distance bus. It's not safe and you will be tired. I suggest you take a train or a flight. But the train is K-train, not express train. It takes about 30-40 hours and it costs about US$40-117 per person.

Hi Maxxheadroom,
You can go to Chengdu Bus Station and Wuguiqiao Bus Station(五桂桥客运站）. There will be a bus every 30 minutes. It will cost you 85 yuan.
Nice day!
Dear Jess,
There is one bus every day. You can take a bus at Kunming north bus station, located at Longtou street, Panlong district, Kunming(盘龙区龙头街). It takes about 12 hours and it costs about CNY240(US$38) per person. You also can take a train. It takes about 20-21 hours and it costs about US$59 for the soft sleeper. It's more comfortable to take a train than take a bus.

There is no direct long distance bus from Nanjing to Chengdu. Nanjing is located at the east of China and Chengdu is in the west of China, it's about 1800 km between two cities. Through long distance, it's dangerous to take a bus and you will be very tired. I suggest you take a train or a flight. It takes about 15 hours by bullet train and it costs about US$171 for the soft sleeper. It takes about 2 hours and the full price is about US$242 excluding the tax.
