The matter of the staff group was completed, and Tian Fan's mood was slightly better. Drinking wine with Liu Bei and dealing with his words indiscriminately, Tian Fan thought about it nonsense. Whether the child in Cao Rui's belly is male or female can be roughly determined after more than a month, and if it is really completely determined, it will take more than two months, that is, when the child is four months old. Even if it is a boy who was born safely in the end, with the current mortality rate of children, he may not be able to live to the age of three, even if he lives to the age of three and grows up slowly, it is not certain whether he can be a son of the world. Hey, forget it, don't think so much, there must be a road in front of the lane mountain, and there will be wine today and drunk today!

After thinking about it, Tian Fan's mood changed again, and he talked nonsense with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei himself was in a good mood, and Chen Qun was warned, and he wisely chose the way he expected and obeyed his will decently. Cao Rui is pregnant, the Liu family finally has a queen, and having a child is a happy event, not to mention getting a child when you are old? Tian Fan promised to be his future son's teacher, although it is not certain whether the child in Cao Rui's womb is a son now, but he has already promised the first time, and the next time Rui'er is pregnant, there is a way for him to agree again.

If you are in a good mood and drink a little wine, you will be in a better mood. So, neither of them wanted to mess up the troubles, you respect me, I respect you, cup after cup.

After drinking for a while, both of them had ...... Well, Liu Bei is six points drunk, Tian Fan, he is stronger than him, but he is also a little dizzy.

Tian Fan glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, how do Mrs. Shui and the mastermother get along?" ”

It is said that this should not be asked, but Tian Fan is indeed very curious. Cao Rui is a scheming woman, and her thinking is more traditional, a typical good woman who runs a family. A woman like her, what would she think of the wild woman Liu Bei picked up outside? Don't look at Shui Ji and Cao Rui just now, they got along very well, but ...... I'm afraid that with Tian Fan's Taoism, a simple glance will not be able to accurately grasp it.

Except for a little wariness of Tian Fan, in fact, Liu Bei treated him quite well, and he didn't treat him as an outsider at all. At this time, when he asked, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, looked at him with drunken eyes, and said, "It's not bad, Shui Ji is very well-behaved, and the two of them get along quite well." ”

Tian Fan nodded, Liu Bei lived with these two women all day long, and he must be able to see the situation clearly.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Boguang, has the third brother been looking for you recently?" ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "I came back late a year ago, I met him once after Yide got married, and then when I got married to Zhaoji, I met again, but I didn't see anyone else." ”

After a slight pause, he said with emotion: "Yide...... Hehe, I've heard my family say that Yide hasn't even been out of the house much these days, and he's tired of being with Gan all day long, and the two of them are as good as glue, and the honey is oily. ”

Liu Bei snorted and said, "Yide, if you have a daughter-in-law, you forget about my eldest brother, you should really fight!" Hey, it's been more than a month since the twelfth day of the lunar month last year, and he hasn't come to me in a daze. When the big husband rules the world, he always stays at home with his wife, what is this? ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, otherwise!" Actually, I didn't expect that Yide would respect Gan to such an extent. Oh, my lord, there are some things that I really can't say! It seems that Yide, a hot-tempered guy, has finally found his nemesis! This is a good thing, you also know a little about Gan's temper, I think, with Gan's subtle influence, maybe Yide's temperament can be reined in a little bit. ”

Liu Bei thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "If it's really as you said, hehe, even if Yide doesn't go out for a year, I'm willing!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and did not continue the topic. The two drank a cup together, Tian Fan wiped the corners of his mouth, let out a long breath, and said: "By the way, the lord, Youwei defected to the lord, we occupy Yang'an, does Liu Jingsheng have any reaction there?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Not yet." However, it may also be because around the New Year, the cold weather is not conducive to combat, so there is no action. Well, in fact, I don't want him to come to find trouble, after all, there are still two big troubles in the Central Plains, Meng De and Ben Chu. If he comes to us for trouble, hehe, it really won't be easy to carry out two-sided development! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Lord, next, who do you plan to hit first?" Lao Cao or Yuan Benchu? ”

Liu Bei frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed and said, "I'm also very embarrassed!" Speaking of which, neither of these is easy to deal with. Yuan Benchu was the fourth and third dukes, and there were many protégés and former officials, and they occupied the four states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, which can be described as a large number of generals. As for Mengde...... Hehe, this person is not easy to deal with! ”

Listening to Liu Bei's words, he didn't even have an evaluation of Cao Cao, only the words "not easy to deal with", which shows that Liu Bei is more afraid of him than Yuan Shao.

Tian Fan nodded, deeply agreed, and said: "By the way, my lord, I remember that a few years ago, Lao Cao and Guanzhong were facing off outside Chang'an City, what is the situation now?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter. Hehe, speaking of which, you should also know that the main strength of Dark Night is in the Central Plains region, and there is not even a person in the Guanzhong region, how can there be any news coming over? The news that can be passed on is all heard by the meticulous workers in Xu County or Chen Liuda. Even if things change in Guanzhong, when we know, I'm afraid it will be a long time later. ”

Tian Fan was also a little worried. At that time, the strength of the dark night was limited, and Tian Fan mainly considered a few nearby forces, and there were no idlers who could be stationed in the non-bordering territory of Guanzhong, which led to Xuzhou not getting the slightest valuable and timely clues about the war in Guanzhong. However, Tian Fan did not expect that Cao Cao would take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to Guanzhong when Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were fighting to the death, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting to the death.

Just then, the door was slammed open! Yes, it's a bump away, not a push.

As soon as Liu Bei frowned, he was about to get angry. But as soon as he saw someone coming, his anger suddenly turned to nothing, but it was Cao Yong who came. When my brother-in-law sees my brother-in-law, I usually have to be polite, right?

Cao Yong's face was full of anxiety and sweating profusely. trotted into the house, came to Liu Bei's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord, just now the news sent back by Chen Liu's spies, Cao Mengde's general Xiahoudun launched a surprise attack on the Guanzhong heroes on New Year's Eve, and the battle was successful, and the Guanzhong heroes suffered heavy casualties, and only six of the more than a dozen forces remained. Moreover, in addition to Ma Teng and Han Sui, the remaining four shares also suffered heavy losses, and they did not have the strength to fight again for a year or two.

In addition, Cao Mengde's general Xiahou Yuan also raided Hedong on New Year's Eve, and in less than two days, he took several major garrison locations in Hedong, and within a few days, Hedong was in Cao Mengde's hands. In addition, Hedong Wei's was wiped out! ”

Liu Bei and Tian Fan were taken aback, Liu Bei's wine was half sober, and he exclaimed, "What? What did you say? ”

Cao Yong didn't speak again, he handed the silk silk in his hand to Liu Bei, Liu Bei hurriedly snatched it over and watched it carefully.

Tian Fan's heart set off a monstrous wave! He doesn't care about Cao Cao's affairs, the key is that it will not have much impact on Xuzhou for the time being. Relatively speaking, Cao Cao controlled more territory, and it was inevitable to divide his troops, which was very unfavorable to him. If Xuzhou wants to beat him, it should be easier.

But the news of the Wei family was like a bolt from the blue to him!

Qianlong has a station in Anyi, and it is a very large site, with more than sixty people. It's been half a month since what happened around the New Year, why hasn't there been the slightest news coming? What the hell is going on? The Wei family was exterminated, he didn't care, anyway, the Wei family went from the head of the family, Wei Shu, to the housekeeper Wei San, there was no good thing, but what about Shuang'er? Now that the only place where you can intersect with her is gone, how will you find her in the future? The world is so big, this ......

After reading it for a long time, Liu Bei frowned and asked, "Yuan Ji, why did such important news come over now?" ”

Cao Yong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, it's not that the people below are ineffective, but because we don't have spies in Hedong and Guanzhong." These news were heard by our spies after the battle report from the front came to Chen Liu. ”

Liu Bei frowned for a long time, sighed, and did not continue the topic.

He turned to Tian Fan and asked, "Boguang, what do you think about this matter?" ”

didn't hear him answer for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, only to see Tian Fan's face constantly changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Bei asked again, and Tian Fan woke up.

After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Lord, this matter ...... It's a bit of a hassle! Cao Mengde occupied Guanzhong, which is bound to have a certain impact on the pattern of the world. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the impact on our side. Lao Cao occupied Guanzhong, and now it seems that the Guanzhong Qunxiong will not pose a threat to him for a while, so that he can run Guanzhong with confidence. The Guanzhong Plain is the hometown of the Three Qins, the land is fertile, and there is the Zhengguo Canal to connect Gushui and Luoshui, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is managed well, it is really a treasure land of feng shui. In addition, the Luoyang Basin is also a good place, with several rivers running vertically and horizontally, and there are yang canals running through, which is convenient for irrigation. Moreover, Luoyang is known as the solid of the eight passes, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. These two places, with a little management, could feed millions of people. Therefore, we can't give him too much time to operate, and we must press it over as soon as possible to prevent him from becoming bigger. In my opinion, after the summer harvest, we have enough food, and we can consider a dozen! ”

Liu Bei thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "Reasonable!" Well, this matter is very important, I will immediately find a few military advisors to come over and discuss it carefully, by the way, bring Wen He here. ”

Tian Fan nodded, got up and said goodbye: "Lord, I still have some things to deal with, so I will leave!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Such an important matter, why don't you stay and discuss it?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, I am the donkey in the mill, I only listen to the shouting." Several of the military advisors are the world's top resourceful people, and they must think more accurately than me. I'm just waiting for news at home, as long as the lord gives an order, I will hit wherever you ask me to hit! ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes angrily, waved his hand, like chasing flies, and said, "Get out, you get out!" Get out of here! ”

Tian Fan smiled and went out.
