The relief food issued by the imperial court arrived in the afternoon of the next day. After Ma County Magistrate handed it over, he immediately began to distribute food next to the county government.When the refugees saw that the court had distributed more food, they flocked here.Ma County Magistrate saw that the scene was chaotic, and was afraid of looting, so he had to call in another team of soldiers to cooperate with the county government to maintain order.

Since this day, Mrs. Zhao has been restless.She woke up from the nightmare last night, and in her mind would always see Zhang Fan lying in the pile of corpses, with his eyes closed and his body covered in blood.She told Zhang Fan that day, but Zhang Fan didn't take it seriously.Leaving aside what was written in the book: "The son does not talk, the power is strange and the spirit is confused", even if he is a person 500 years later, he will not believe these things.Helpless, the Zhao family is always like this, Zhang Fan has no choice but to take him to Liu Banxian on the street to do a fortune-telling calculation, and he figured out that "although there is a catastrophe, there is no serious problem", saying that Zhang Fan can live to 90 years old intact. Only then did Shi feel relieved.

Early the next morning, a scout from the Shaanxi army came to report that the army would arrive in the afternoon, take a short rest, and then rush to Ningxia Wei overnight.And also brought Zhang Fan's transfer order, temporarily appoint Zhang Fan as the leader of the army, and raid Hetao.When Ma County Magistrate got the news, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Fan to come to the mansion and hand over the transfer order to him.

This time, Wang Chonggu was cruel, and almost half of the troops in Shaanxi were transferred, almost 5 people.However, not all of these 5 people will enter the Hetao. Except for the border guards stationed on the Great Wall, some of these 5 people will be responsible for patrolling the unguarded areas, but the Tartars may climb in.There is also a part to support Datong Mansion and Jizhou Mansion.I heard that there haven't been any Japanese pirates in the southeast coast recently, most of them were wiped out by Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, and the rest of the Japanese pirates are in groups of three or four, which is not a climate.The imperial court plans to get rid of Qi Jiguang and his subordinates, supervise the battle of Ji Liao, and defend the capital.So calculated in this way, the number of troops that actually entered the Hetao area to carry out the raid plan would not be too many, maybe only about 5000.Of course, if there are too many people, the target will be bigger. If you start a surprise attack, it will not be considered a surprise attack, but it may be a question of whether you can get out of the body.

No matter how poor Zhang Fan's historical achievements are, he has also heard of Qi Jiguang, a famous general handed down from the Ming Dynasty and an anti-Japanese hero.Thinking of the possibility of meeting such a historical figure, Zhang Fan felt excited again.

"Nephew, you are going with the army this time, so you must be more careful!" Magistrate Ma was a little worried about Zhang Fan, afraid that something would happen to him when he was on the battlefield for the first time.

"Don't worry, my lord, you won't be born late." Zhang Fan replied.

"Well, in the afternoon, the army will pass by here, and they will set off after a short rest. There is no big town between this county and Ningxiawei, and they may march overnight. My nephew should go home and rest, otherwise I won't be able to last the night. You I have never ridden a horse before, and there are no vehicles in the army, so be prepared!" County Magistrate Ma was concerned.

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord." Zhang Fan thanked him and said, "I went home after giving birth that night."

"Go, the old man will send someone to notify you then." County Magistrate Ma said.

When Zhang Fan returned home, all the exiled people went to the county government to collect food, but there was no one at home.Zhang Fan told his mother about the arrangements for the night march.Mrs. Zhao knew that Zhang Fan never stayed up all night, and usually only read up to midnight, so she was afraid that he would not be able to survive, so she advised him to rest.But he was afraid that Zhang Fan would be hungry during the march, so he went to prepare dry food for Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan had never had the habit of taking a lunch break, and he thought in his heart that he was about to go to the battlefield. He was very chaotic, and he didn't fall asleep until Shen Shi.As soon as Youshi arrived, Ma County Magistrate sent someone to ask Zhang Fan to come to the house.Zhang Fan had only slept for an hour before he was woken up, a little dazed, but he was still thinking about the important matter of the march, so he was afraid it would be delayed, so he hurriedly asked his mother to bring water and wash his face before he woke up.Just as he was about to go out, Mrs. Zhao handed over a package, and Zhang Fan was a little puzzled.

"Here is the dry food that mother prepared for you. If you are tired from marching at night, you can use it to satisfy your hunger." Mrs. Zhao murmured, "Fan'er, all the way to the mountains...be careful..." Speaking of this, Zhao cried again.

"Mother, I'm just going to be a follower of the army, stay away from those swords and soldiers, and nothing will happen." Zhang Fan persuaded, "Besides, Liu Banxian has calculated for me that he can live to be 90 years old! It's not as good as the weak crown, and there are more than seventy years to live. Besides, how can I be willing to give up your mother! Aren't you still waiting to have a grandson!"

"You child, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Zhao burst into tears when she heard this.

Under the watchful eyes of his mother, Zhang Fan followed the people sent by Ma County Magistrate to the county government office.

At this time, there were no refugees in the county. It is said that the army came outside the city and helped build some simple sheds for the refugees to live in temporarily.The refugees in the city have all left the city.

Zhang Fan entered the county government office, and found that Ma County Magistrate was talking to a man who looked like a general in gold and armor.When County Magistrate Ma saw Zhang Fan coming in, he hurriedly pulled him over and introduced the general to him.

"My nephew is here, come quickly, meet General Liu Jinquan." County Magistrate Ma pulled Zhang Fan to General Liu and said, "Lead the [-] troops to Ningxia Weiqian this time to return to command." Liu Can will introduce: "This is my Anhua County, this year's new division Xie Yuan Zhang Fan Zhang Yuande."

"I've met General Liu." Zhang Fan cupped his hands to General Liu.

"Zhang Xianggong has to know Yuan's name at a young age, and he really is a hero!" General Liu Shen's voice was loud and full of air, "At that time when the imperial court issued an order, I thought it was an old man who was too old to be confused. Juren, I didn't expect to be so young, he really is a formidable young man!"

"Liu Shenjiang is over the award!" Zhang Fanqian said.

"I can't win the award at all. Young people are much more energetic than those old scholars who have failed many times. Besides, Mr. Zhang is in the best of luck!" Zhang Fan always has the feeling of pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, or this guy is really a straight-headed person, saying what he thinks.

"Hehe... I still want to thank General Liu Shen for his praise." Zhang Fan said with some playfulness.

"Okay, okay, since everyone has met, we will have dinner at my residence later, and the army can only set off when it is about to start, and we will leave when we have finished our meal." Ma County Magistrate hurriedly smoothed things over.Seeing General Liu Can go aside, he pulled Zhang Fan aside and said, "Nephew, don't be offended, General Liu Can say whatever he thinks like this, and he hasn't read any books. Nephew, please don't think too much." ah!"

"The late students know this, and the late students are sure of it, so I don't need to bother you." Zhang Fan said.

The three of them sat down and had a meal.During the dinner, Zhang Fan heard that General Liu and Ma County Magistrate knew each other from the beginning, and Ma County Magistrate seemed to be his superior, but neither of them wanted to mention this matter. Once it got involved, one of them would definitely Changing the topic, Zhang Fan who listened was very curious.

After dinner, the three went out of the city together.As soon as I left the city, I saw more than a dozen long sheds, which were full of people, and sometimes refugees came in and out.Obviously, this is the temporary residence built by the soldiers brought by General Liu Can for the exiled people.Behind these temporary residences, Zhang Fan's army, which could not be seen at a glance, was stationed in a mighty manner. It had been prepared and ready to go at any time.

It was the first time Zhang Fan saw so many ancient soldiers standing in front of him neatly lined up.Although my previous self had seen a gathering of tens of thousands of people on TV, he had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone an ancient army of [-] people lined up neatly, with guns and knives in hand, ready to go out.

"What does Zhang Xianggong think of my military appearance in Shaanxi?" Liu Jian asked, with a hint of complacency in his words.

"Sure enough, they are elite soldiers and strong generals, a mighty teacher, a mighty teacher!" Zhang Fan sincerely praised.

"Hahaha..." Liu Shenjiang laughed happily when he heard Zhang Fan's words.

At this time, a small school came to General Liu Can, saluted, and said: "Sir General, the whole army is ready and ready to go at any time."

"Well, not bad." General Liu Can said, and asked Zhang Fan to stand over, and said, "This is Mr. Zhang, the new commander in our army. Go and lead a horse to Mr. Zhang."

"No." The junior said loudly, and then saluted Zhang Fan again, "I have met Mr. Zhang." After speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Zhang Fan to speak.

"Zhang Xianggong, oh, now it should be called Zhang Zhubo." General Liu Shen said, "Don't take offense, these soldiers are all rough and rough, not as particular as you scholars."

"Your Excellency General, you're out of touch. This is what a soldier's background should be like." Zhang Fan said.

At this time, the little school led a brown fur horse over.Although Zhang Fan didn't know horses, he could tell that the horse in front of him looked tall and handsome. Although it wasn't a god horse, it was still a rare good horse.

"Zhang Zhubo, please get on your horse, our army is about to start!" General Liu Shen said.

Zhang Fan had never ridden a horse before, so he sat on the horseback with the help of the little school.Although there was some discomfort, the novelty of riding a horse for the first time replaced the discomfort.Sitting on the horse, Zhang Fan bowed to Ma County Magistrate, and General Liu Shen had already ordered the army to set off.Zhang Fan jerky urged the horse forward.

When he was about to pass through the county seat, Zhang Fan looked towards the city gate and found his mother standing at the gate and watching him.Zhang Fan was so moved that he got off his horse immediately, bowed to his mother, and then got on his horse and left.Zhang Fan just followed the army to Ningxia, he didn't go to talk to his mother, for fear that she would cry.More importantly, Zhang Fan was afraid that he would cry.
