----------------------

Xiaoqing's arrival did not cause any waves in the Tian family, the old man waved his hand, and Xiaoqing became Xiao Liu'er's companion and shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Tian Fan. Xiaoqing's original surname is Guo, and the small character is called Xiaoqing, as for the big name, she didn't say it, because she felt that her current identity had insulted her ancestors and she didn't want to mention it. She is three years younger than Xiao Liu'er, but perhaps because she has experienced too many waves and too many misfortunes since she was a child, she is different from Xiao Liu'er, not so naïve, not so simple, and has countless hearts. She is very close to Xiao Liu'er, and she is not bad with Hui'er, and after a while, she became a good sister. And the old man and the old lady never thought that the girl Tian Fan brought back would be literate, gentle, and polite, and the second elder was also very satisfied with her. She is very satisfied with her life in Tian Fan's house.

Mi Zhen saw Xiaoqing, and didn't even ask, Tian Fan's family has a big business, and the two maids are a little less to take care of! She also thought that Xiaoqing was a girl bought by Tian Fan's family, and she didn't expect Tian Fan to go to the Qinglou at all. Tian Fan didn't want to tell her at all, more things are better than less things, sometimes appropriate lies are conducive to family harmony!

At the end of March, compared with the calm Xuzhou, the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu kicked off again, and the whole Yanzhou was in flames, and correspondingly, many people fled to Xuzhou to avoid the war. Liu Bei ordered that all counties and counties should make every effort to assist the victims and escort them to the Tuntian point for unified arrangements. The problem of food is no longer a problem, and the food spent on cash-for-work during the locust plague last year was all from the state government, and the stocks of individual families were not used.

At the beginning of April, Liu Bei received a secret report from Langya, saying that the great warlord Zang Ba of Langya had signs of uniting with Lü Bu, and Liu Bei urgently summoned all the ministers and generals.

In the governor's mansion, everyone was noisy. The civilian-bureaucratic clique represented by Chen Jue said that they should remain calm and try their best to resolve the issue in a peaceful way. And the military attache group represented by Guan Yu said that they wanted to fight and destroy Zang Ba! Tian Fan leaned towards the opinion of the civilian-official group, not to mention anything else, as far as the military generals under Liu Bei's command were concerned, they really hadn't been able to beat Zang Ba. When it comes to individual force, there are many that can be stronger than Zang Ba, but war cannot be judged by individual force!

Zang Ba, the word declares, his father was imprisoned by Taishan County for refusing to kill people in accordance with the law. He was eighteen years old at the time, and after learning the news, he led someone to rescue his father, and since then he has been famous in Qingzhou. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, he felt the harm of the Yellow Turban, so he went to attach himself to Tao Qian, and later because of his merits, he worshiped as a cavalry captain. Perhaps it was different from Tao Qian's governing philosophy, and the two eventually fell out. Zang Ba and Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others gathered the army, and Zang Ba was the commander, stationed in the Kaiyang area, and became the overlord of his own party.

In history, after he was captured by Lü Bu, he followed Cao Cao, received high treatment, and had many military exploits, several crusades against Sun Quan, and the famous general Han Dang of Wu was also his defeated general. It's just that he has been in a semi-free state in Cao Cao's camp and does not completely obey Cao Cao's command. He, Sun Guan and others occupied Qingzhou and Xuzhou for decades. And Cao Cao didn't say anything about this special state. It can be said that this person's ability to lead troops is not below Zhang Liao and others, or just slightly inferior, just because he has not become Cao Cao's henchman and cannot be reused as he deserves! Such a general, it should be said that he is handsome, or a state pastor, it is difficult to kill him, but if he is subdued, it may be a little easier.

Zang Ba's situation is not good, more than 8,000 troops, including 2,000 cavalry, the cost is very staggering. With a population of less than 200,000 and a mountainous area with relatively poor people, Langya's situation has improved recently, but it is still difficult to feed these troops. It was reported that he was already a little short of food! …,

Liu Bei saw that Tian Fan had been silent, and asked, "Boguang, what is your opinion?" Everyone looked at Tian Fan, and Tian Fan replied: "Lord, I think Zang Xuangao should be subdued......"

Zhang Fei was anxious and shouted: "Boguang! You said that we should first accumulate strength and not let us start a war with the outside world, I listen to you! But now it's an internal matter, he Zang Xuangao is in Xuzhou, so he has to listen to my eldest brother. If he doesn't listen, I'll destroy him!" ”

The generals echoed loudly, and Guan Yu said: "What the third brother said is extremely true! We have conquered the country of Langya, and we can deter that Rongrong in Guangling County! You can also test the results of training sergeants in the past six months! The generals echoed again. Liu Bei motioned for everyone to be quiet and listen to Tian Fan.

Tian Fan continued: "My lord, the reason why Fan does not agree to fight is for the following reasons. First, the training we received at the end of last year from the original Xuzhou Army and the newly recruited troops was not sufficient, and it would take at least half a year for us to develop combat effectiveness. Second, we in Xuzhou can be said to be surrounded by strong enemies, and we will try not to fight if we can fight in Xuzhou. Third, this Zang proclamation is not an ordinary person, but a brave and wise person. If we fight in the field, we are not afraid of him, General Guan and General Zhang are much stronger than him. But if we go to open the sun, it will be a siege battle. We can't afford to fight siege warfare in Xuzhou! Zang Ba has 8,000 troops, and we have more than 40,000, including more than 10,000 recruits. Generals, you say, how many men will we lose if this battle is fought? Fourth, the country of Langya is under the rule of Xuzhou, and it also benefited greatly from the locust plague last year, and now Langya is also developing rapidly. Let's call, what will Langya become? At that time, what is the point of us receiving a broken Langya? What if we could persuade us to surrender? We have a new Langya! And General Zang Xuangao is also a good general, and only one more general under the lord will be a complete Langya, this is what we want! ”

After that, he saluted several generals and continued: "Generals! I know you've been suffocated after a year of not fighting, but now is not the time to fight! Please think about the great cause of the Lord! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were silent, Tian Fan was right, the current Xuzhou can't afford to consume. Tian Fan saw that these people were silent, and said to them with a smile: "Generals, I promise that there will be battles that you can't finish in the future!" Don't you go to the lord to complain when the time comes? Several of the military attachés laughed.

Zhang Fei rushed over, grabbed Tian Fan's arm and said, "Boguang, don't lie to me!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "I can't fool anyone and General Zhang, otherwise you won't kill me?" The crowd laughed.

Liu Bei laughed for a while and said, "Okay, okay, it's all off topic." Well, Boguang, since you don't fight, what are you going to do? ”

Tian Fan bowed and said, "Lord, I think this matter will be handled by me and Mr. Xianhe!" The two of us took dozens of escorts to Langya to persuade General Zang to be loyal to the lord! ”

Liu Bei was a little anxious and asked, "Won't there be danger?" ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "No, General Zang is not an outsider, he is very smart." He knows that killing us will do no good, it will not do us anything! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Well, let's do it, I'll equip you with two hundred people!" After that, he said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother! You took Yan Qieighteen to escort Boguang and Xianhe, right? ”

Zhang Fei nodded reluctantly and said, "Boguang, let me tell you, these eighteen people are like brothers to me, you can't let them be harmed!" Also, when you're done, come back and invite me and them to drink! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly agreed! Tian Fan knew that this Yan rode eighteen, these eighteen people were all born as brothers or domestic slaves in the Zhang Fei clan, and they were all superhuman in martial arts, and they were able to ride and shoot! Usually, these people help Zhang Fei lead the troops in the barracks, and they will only follow Zhang Fei when they are fighting. These people can't be described as pro-soldiers, they should be called pro-generals! They are the equivalent of knights of the West! …,

Liu Bei continued: "In addition, I ordered my uncle to bring two hundred soldiers with him and follow you!" Seeing that Tian Fan was about to refuse, Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Boguang and Xianhe are my right-hand men, how can they be lost?" I'm sitting in Xiapi, and I'll be fine! Tian Fan and Jian Yong had no choice but to agree.

Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi again: "Third brother, Uncle Zhi, everything on this trip is subject to Boguang's arrangement. Third brother, especially you! As he spoke, he glared at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Chen and the others hurriedly agreed!

After the consensus was unified, everyone went down to prepare. Zhang Fei put his arm on Tian Fan's shoulder, as if holding him, and walked out together, he said: "Boguang, you see that I have helped you so much, do you want to reduce the price for me?" After speaking, Chong Tian Fan raised his eyebrows, grinned and smiled at Tian Fan, scaring Tian Fan! Oh my God, if a little girl winks at you, you'll accept it! Can you imagine the lethality of a giant man who is eight feet five inches taller than you and has a full beard at you?

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Okay! If you can promise to drink a jar every five days, I'll give you everything! Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to speak, Tian Fan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Yide, I know that you don't have a door to drink, as long as you drink, you want to get drunk, so I'll reduce it to four folds for you, right?" Zhang Fei nodded hatefully.

Tian Fan said again: "Don't think I'm stingy and hurt my body by drinking, this kind of wine is too strong, I'm afraid that you will get drunk every day and damage your body, and delay the lord's big event!" There are too few good generals under the command of the lord, and you and General Guan are his Optimus White Jade Pillar and Cross-Sea Purple Gold Beam! You two can't do anything, understand? Zhang Fei was a little moved, it turned out that Bo Guang thought so! Tian Fan saw his tearful eyes, and quickly fled!

When I got home, I found that the house was very lively, and it turned out that Mi Zhen was also there.

did the work of his family, and at their strong request, he agreed to bring Hui'er and Xiaoqing with him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tian Fan came to his small military camp and selected the ten people he wanted to bring. He didn't bring Tang Yi and Tang Er, in case there was something at home, he could also use it. Besides, these two people are trained cadres, they used their overwhelming advantage to conquer all the recruits, and it is really difficult for Zhou Cang to train without them.

Now the training has reached a critical period, that is, the third stage, and the main training is the coordinated operation between personnel, that is, the training that can safely hand over one's back to one's companions on the battlefield. Tian Fan told Zhou Cang to train seriously and not slack off. Zhou Cang is very satisfied with his current life, Tian Fan gave him training methods that he had never seen before, and most of them proved to be really effective after practice. Others, on the other hand, require more time to prove. Now Zhou Cang's attitude towards training is more rigorous than Tian Fan's!
