Bai Yuzhu's farewell performance ended successfully on another rest day five days later. This simple woman finally bid farewell to her beloved stage and has since relegated to the background.

The battle to destroy Yuan Shu is being prepared at high speed and in an orderly manner in the efforts of everyone. The armies bound for Langya and Liang had just set out, and once they reached the two places, they would exchange for the same number of veterans from both places and return to the Xiapi camp.

The grain of the various counties will move south along Surabaya and Shushui and will converge at Huaisikou. General Gao Shun led 10,000 sergeants and temporarily served as a grain protection officer. When needed, the grain can be transported directly to the upper reaches of the Huaishui River by boats and fishing boats.

Cao boats and fishing boats from all over the country were also requisitioned by the General's Palace, and they converged along the south to Huaisikou, where they were temporarily on standby in the Huai River.

The reason for such fanfare was to create pressure on Yuan Shu to give up the field battle and defend the city with all his might. At the same time, give the people of Huainan a little hope. Seeing the army assembled in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu knew that he must have come to fight him, but the worst thing was that he didn't know the specific time. When the knife hangs over the head, it is the knife, and once it is cut down, the power is not so great.

In the craftsman camp, the manufacture of ballistas and the manufacture of 100-round crossbows are in full swing. By the time the troops were dispatched in early August, it was expected that 200 ballistae and 200 100-round crossbows would be completed. In the Tianjia woodware workshop, the matching cars are also in high-speed production. The 2,000 sergeants drawn from the Xiapi battalion are familiarizing themselves with these two new weapons and preparing to make them more powerful in war.

It's just that Liu Bei hasn't figured out who will lead the army formed by these two new weapons for the time being. The 100-round crossbow can be directly merged into Zhou Ting's crossbow battalion, but the ballista battalion with completely different combat methods will not work.

One day at the end of June, Tian Fan rested in the manor.

It was in the morning, the weather was cooler, and several women except Bai Yuzhu went boating on the lake together, Tian Fan wanted to follow, but someone reported that Mi Fang was visiting. made a helpless gesture to the girls, Tian Fan said: "You guys go first, I'll look for you in a while!" ”

The girls couldn't help but be disappointed, and Hui'er said: "Hurry up, the weather is just right today, go boating on the lake, drink some wine, and eat some food, how good." You're tired these days, so it's time to relax. ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Got it!" By the way, Zhen'er, your brother is here, why don't you come with me to have a look? ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, "I just met two days ago, and I won't go this time." Besides, my brother has come to you, which means that he has something. You two big men talk about things, and I'm a woman on the side, how inappropriate? ”

When she entered the main hall, Mi Fang was frowning and drinking.

As soon as he saw Tian Fan coming, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Boguang, why did you come for so long?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Second brother, I originally made an appointment with Zhen'er today, and I wanted to go boating on the lake." When I heard that you were coming to me, I was about to board the ship, and it would take some time to get here from the docks. ”

Mi Fang nodded and sat down.

Tian Fan saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Second brother, do you have something?" ”

Mi Fang opened her mouth, shook her head dejectedly, and said, "...... Actually, it's nothing! It's just that...... Just ......"

Tian Fan laughed and said, "Second brother, you and I are originally brothers, and we don't have so many scruples." And Zhen'er has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child, and the ancients said that the eldest brother is like a father, and she is thanks to you and the eldest brother to take care of her. If there is anything, just say it, I will definitely help if I can help! ”

Mi Fang let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'll just say that Boguang is righteous!" Zhen'er followed you, it's really the right person! Well, Boguang, that's ......"

After a slight pause, he said with a little apprehension: "I am a captain now, and I have been a captain for so long, and I have never gone out with the army." This time I fought Yuan Shu, I wanted to join the army, but the eldest brother didn't allow it, he was afraid that I would be in danger. ”…,

With a long sigh, he said, "Boguang, you don't know, the people in the barracks look at me differently. They always treat me as a high-level person and look down on me. Many people who were not as good as me in the military are now lieutenant generals and generals, and I am the only one who is still a captain. I ...... in my heart I'm so aggrieved! ”

Tian Fan bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Second brother, have you ever seen a war?" ”

Mi Fang nodded and said, "Of course I have seen it, Cao Mengde fought Xuzhou back then......"

As he spoke, he was silent. When Cao Cao fought Xuzhou, he didn't hit Xiapi at all, but only raged in Langya, Donghai and Pengcheng, so he naturally never saw a real war. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban rampaged in Xuzhou twice, but they also never came to Xiapi.

Tian Fan shook his head slowly and said, "You haven't seen a war!" I saw it for the first time, and I never wanted to go to war again. But the situation forced me to go! ”

Mi Fang was anxious, he said, "But ......"

Tian Fan waved his hand and said, "Second brother, listen to me!" A general who has never been on the battlefield is indeed not a complete general. I'll go to the lord to intercede, and this time I'll try to let you join the army. ”

Mi Fang nodded excitedly.

Tian Fan continued: "However, I don't allow you to go to the forefront!" ”

Mi Fang was deflated, he said: "If you don't go to the front, then what difference does it make if you don't go to the battlefield or not?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "The lord's newly built ballista battalion does not have a chief officer, and I suggest that the lord appoint you as the chief officer of the ballista battalion." This way, you only need to command the ballista battalion to fire from a distance, and as soon as the battle begins, you immediately retreat with the ballista battalion. Well, do you remember Wuda who married Zhen'er? Let him be your lieutenant, he is a veteran, experienced, and has commanded trebuchets, and should be able to easily penetrate the tactics of the ballista battalion. What do you think? ”

Mi Fang thought for a while and said, "You don't have to be at the forefront, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much about me." Moreover, I am on the front line again, I think it is very good, and the eldest brother will definitely agree. Hehe, since that's the case, I'm waiting for your good news! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the lord tomorrow and say, don't worry, this kind of thing is not a big problem." ”

Mi Fang nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I'll go, you can play with Zhen'er and them!" Hehe. ”

Being aroused by Mi Fang, he thought of Yuan Shu, and then of Mr. Wen, and remembered the thing he arranged for Mr. Wen to do. Don't know what he's doing?

Thinking about it, he habitually walked into his backyard.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in the backyard. Looking at the surrounding scenery, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really can't be distracted, if he is distracted, he will make mistakes.

Shaking his head, he turned to head towards the docks, but suddenly heard the sound of a piano.

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Bai Yuzhu did not go with a few women. Shaking his head slowly, he thought to himself, in fact, Yu'er also needs to be cared for! I just said goodbye to the stage, and I must not be able to adapt immediately. This girl is simple-minded, everything will be shown on her face, and she is not very happy to see her in the past few days, but fortunately, there has been someone with her, which makes her feel better. A few lesbians went boating today, but she was not interested, presumably, she should be quite lonely now, right? Thinking about it, he walked in the direction of the sound of the piano.

Turning around a dense bamboo forest, Tian Fan came to the garden in the backyard.

The buildings in this manor are built according to the structure of the castle Tianfu, and the structure is exactly the same, but much larger. This garden is many times larger than the Tianfu in the city, with small bridges and flowing water, cloister pavilions, and quite good scenery.

Entering the garden, Tian Fan looked at it and saw that in a small pavilion in the distance, Bai Yuzhu was playing the qin.

A bamboo mat, a pear wood dwarf, and a lyre on it. On a low table next to it, an incense burner curls Tingting, and a pot of tea is steaming slightly. …,

Bai Yuzhu focused on Fuqin, not paying attention to the surrounding things at all, and that kind of focused demeanor was quite charming.

Her eyes were closed, her cherry mouth was slightly upturned, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pink cheeks were very moving. The movement of the hands is like walking together, and it is like dancing on the piano. As both hands pluck the strings, strings of beautiful notes emerge from the strings and float into the distance.

Seeing her state at this time, Tian Fan only felt one word - beauty!

This is a fairy-like woman, without any worldly distractions, and before, she had only one thing on her mind, and that was her art, her music. What firewood, rice, oil, and salt are completely unconceptual in her heart. She has always lived a life of stretching out her hands and food to open her mouth, and she also thinks that it is natural. Later, when she came to the Tian family and became Tian Fan's nominal concubine, she had one more Tian Fan in her heart, but it was just a simple concern, without any other distractions. She only hoped that Tian Fan would be good, and she never wanted the rest.

It is strange to say that she has grown up in a green building since she was fifteen years old, but her body is not stained with any filth, but is like a white orchid, clean and dusty.

Because of her simplicity, she has never worried about her status in Tian Fan's heart, and because of this, she is twenty-two years old, an absolutely old young woman, but she is not worried about her relationship with Tian Fan at all. If other women reached this age, I am afraid that they would have died in a hurry!

Only in this way did she have a very important position in Tian Fan's heart. Tian Fan likes her very much, her age is the age of a woman's maturity, like a ripe peach, exuding a fragrance all over her body, Tian Fan can completely change her from a girl to a woman, but because of her simplicity, Tian Fan has never been able to bear to start.

Seeing that there was no unpleasantness on her face, Tian Fan couldn't help but smile.

Behind her, Snow Tiger Xiaoxue was lying there lazily yawning, a fluffy tail, swaying slightly from time to time, seeing Tian Fan coming, it just glanced at it, and no longer said anything else.

Seeing this scene, Tian Fan sighed from the bottom of his heart, Beauty and the Beast!

Standing quietly five steps away from Bai Yuzhu, quietly watching her stroke the qin, Tian Fan was intoxicated. The piano is not intoxicating, the person is intoxicating!

The last note flowed from Bai Yuzhu's fingertips, and after that, she let out a slight breath and rubbed her wrist, which was a little sore. subconsciously looked up, but saw Tian Fan looking at her with a smile.

Suddenly, the girl was happy! She is simple, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, Tian Fan gave up boating with Mi Zhen and others, and came back to accompany herself, she can naturally figure out some things, and she will naturally be very happy!

She stood up suddenly, walked around from behind the desk with a smile, and greeted Tian Fan.

After only a few steps, she suddenly exclaimed and fell diagonally!

Tian Fan subconsciously leaned forward and hugged her by the waist, only then did he hear her cry out in pain.

After Bai Yuzhu screamed in pain, he realized that he was in Tian Fan's arms, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Tian Fan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Yuzhu frowned and said, "It seems to be ...... It seems to have twisted my foot! ”
