There were many people and great power. Soon they moved the tent north thirty feet. An hour later all the old brothers gathered in the tent, and Zhang Ping'an said to the old brothers: "Long Xiucai records, who will I ask, who will answer! If there are any shortcomings, others will add them!"

"We are going to destroy the Tartars who came after tomorrow! Chen Pear will first talk about the situation of the Ming people in the fence!"

"The fences are full of young and strong men, with more than 1,350 people. It is said that there were more than 2,000 people here, but later the weather was too cold and they were in poor health, and they were frozen to death. They said that more than 600 people died. We asked just now. It is estimated that more than 400 were the former official soldiers. Some were captured in Sarhu, and some were captured when the Jurchen Tartars broke into Liaoyang. They were all oppressed by the Jurchen Tartars so strong that they fled. There were no officers! There were more than 700 auxiliary soldiers, and 185 craftsmen, but there were no use for seven craftsmen?"

Zhang Ping'an asked strangely: "Why not?"

"These seven people are gold and silver craftsmen who make jewelry. What we need here are blacksmiths, carpenters, and plasterers; I don't think gold and silver craftsmen are of great use!"

"Brother Chen Poe, don't think they are useless. Maybe they will be of great use in the future! Get silver, tell me about the material situation!"

"Brother, there are eleven older sisters from Ming and sisters-in-law in the camp; my brothers and I roughly verified that there are 4,100 horses, 3,500 saddles, 500 cattle, 7,000 sheep; 5,000 grain, 600 soybeans, 500 black beans; 7,000 horse sabers, 1,200 waist knives, 2,960 bows, 5,700 arrows, 5,700 iron spears, and 6,000 iron spear heads. 30 iron armor, 3,600 cotton armor, 700 cloth, 85 silk and satin, 9,800 sheepskin and other animal skins; 100 stone salt; there are 15 piles of grass on the surface; brother, don't look at me like this, these are all counted by the Xu brothers. Then tell me."

"Hahahaha..., we will blush even if we have to win the silver! Not bad! We count very carefully. It seems that the Xu brothers have read books, and you have to teach the silver."

Lu Deyin began to mutter dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you tell me? Why did you change someone?"

"I will definitely teach you! I have too many things, so you can't learn from the Xu brothers first? Well, who can tell me why the Mongolian Tartars used so many weapons to replace people?"

Zhang Li said: "Our brothers just now, Shenjirigela, the Mongolian Tartars caught by Hu Ming. He said: The substitution is just an excuse. The main reason is the Jurchen Tartars. The Duoyan tribe wants the old slave to attack the Ming Dynasty next year. After Duoyan tribe learned about this, the lion spoke loudly. The Jurchen Tartars had no choice but to pinch their noses and recognize them! The Jurchen Tartars were very proud, so they asked the Mongolian Tartars in Korqin to do this. Besides, this is the territory of the Korqin tribe, so there are so many supplies and weapons here!"

"You asked the two camps on the east side, are there any good things?"

"I asked, and I said there were people and food. Except for the guards, the Tartars, there were weapons in their hands. There were no extra weapons! There were only twenty Tartars in the camp fifty miles east, and there were only eighteen Tartars in the east. There were more than 2,300 escaped slaves in the Ming Dynasty in the two camps."

"How often do they communicate?"

"Half a month to twenty days! The person who was sending the news just left the day before yesterday."

"Okay, let me tell you! This is how I arranged it. Long Xiucai is in charge of the family and is responsible for everything at home!"

Long Xiucai asked in confusion: "You just believe me so?"

"Can you run away? There are Tartars around here. Even if you give you ten horses, you will definitely be caught in two days! You will be optimistic about your family for yourself. Don't interrupt when I speak. If you have any suggestions, please don't question my decision!"

Zhang Ping'an continued, "Zhang Li, Hu Ming, you choose 200 people first. We are now generous. Each of them has an iron spear and a saber. Those who will shoot archers on the horse will be left to Li Chen. Chen Poe, Li Chen, Huang Zhi, Huang Wei, Wu Tianxing, you will divide the brothers who have seen blood this time, each bringing 200 people. We will do it today. Yin and the Xu brothers are responsible for distributing weapons! If you have any questions, please mention it now."

Chen Pie sought Zhang Ping'an's opinion: "Boss, I see that the Ming people in the fence are wearing very thin clothes. Look..."

"This is simple! Each person sends a few feet of cloth and digs a hole in the middle. Let them use thick needles and thread to make their sleeves, and do it first, just don't freeze it. Anyway, there is sheepskin, and each person sends two pieces. Just expose the head and arms! Then you can't freeze it! Long Xiucai also needs to prepare dry food for a day! Soak the soybeans and release bean sprouts! It's not okay to eat no vegetables! I'll go first to see the terrain. Today I only take Chen Po, Zhang Li, and I have to go there. Others will do the things I arranged, mainly to divide the people."

Zhang Ping'an and his team walked forty miles along the west road, but they had no satisfactory terrain. Zhang Ping'an shook his head: "It seems that we can't fight this battle near the camp. Let's walk forward!"

They rode their horses for another seventeen or eighteen miles. Zhang Ping'an saw the road disappearing at the foot of a mountain. Zhang Ping'an waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked for a while, and pointed at the top of the mountain: "Let's go up the mountain!"

The road up the mountain was difficult to walk, so they struggling to move forward. When they reached the top of the mountain, Zhang Ping'an looked around and nodded: "What a good place! What a good place! You should remember this terrain carefully! You must remember every detail around you!"

Zhang Ping'an took a deep breath, then found a stone to shelter from the wind and sat down; his eyes were closed, and after a long time, he shook his head: "No! We still have to go forward!"

"Brother, that's about the same. There are not many Tartars anyway!" Lu Deyin was a little impatient.

After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an glared at Lu Deyin: "You bastard! If you dare to say this again in the future, get out of here! I don't have the brother you!"

Lu Deyin was so scared that he burst into tears. When he saw Lu Deyin crying; Zhang Ping'an relaxed his tone: "Deyin, you are the closest person to me. Don't mind if I say this. OK! I tell you, we are much more people than the Tartars now. But have you ever thought about it? The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. For example: Last time in the small courtyard of the Jurchen Tartars, I imagined that we could shoot three arrows in the first battlefield, but I didn't expect that the Tartars could only shoot two arrows without saddleing the horse. It was not very useful to trap the horse pit. The second battlefield was much worse than I expected! People would die in war!

I don’t want my brothers to die on the battlefield, nor do I want them to be injured. So before every war, I have to imagine the worst situation and come up with countermeasures to deal with the worst results! When fighting, we must not only look at the terrain, but also pay attention to the weather, personnel, etc. The Ming Dynasty’s official army is not bad, but the generals are incompetent! Knowing yourself and the enemy, we will never be able to win in a hundred battles! We now know how many people there are in the Tartars. What if the Tartars come more than we know? What if the Tartars run away and go back to report the letter? I just thought of a plan, but there are still shortcomings. So I have to take a look!"

Zhang Ping'an felt a little thirsty, took the water bag from the horse's back, opened the plug and drank a sip of water, and then said, "We can't afford to lose now. If we lose, the people who have finally gathered together will disperse! I will go back and teach you how to make sand tables. When you learn it, I will teach you to draw contour lines!"

Lu Deyin, who was crying, whispered: "Brother, what is a contour line? How do you know so many things about war? Who taught you?"

Zhang Ping'an began to squirt with pride: "You bad boy! Before I was reincarnated, I made Chang'e happy! In order to let her continue to feel happy when I returned, Chang'e seduced Wu Quxing! Wu Quxing was so happy that she gave her the secret book, and she gave me again. That's OK!"

Lu Deyin asked in confusion: "What does it mean to be so happy with brother!"

Zhang Ping'an was furious: "Go and ask Zhang Li, what does it mean to be so cool!"

Zhang Li saw Lu Deyin looking at him and knew that Zhang Ping'an didn't want to say it. So he smirked: "Go back and see, when the eldest sister of the Wang family was not wearing clothes, you will know what you thought!"

Zhang Ping'an yelled at Zhang Li: "Turn around!" Zhang Li also began to be confused, but he did not dare to disobey Zhang Ping'an's words.

As soon as he turned around, Zhang Ping'an kicked him in the ass: "You are nothing to do! Come with me, you are not allowed to teach bad children!"

Chen Poe quickly carried Lu Deyin on his horse: "Don't listen to Zhang Li, listen to your elder brother! Let's go and see the terrain as soon as possible! It's almost dark!"

They walked west for seven or eight miles. Zhang Ping'an tied the reins with his right hand, raised his left hand to set up a lookout shed and looked north. Then he said, "Follow me!"

After walking out three miles and entering the valley between the two mountains, Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back. If the Tartars run away, I will not be a human!"

When Lu Deyin saw Zhang Ping'an happy, he was also very happy: "Brother, he is not a human being!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an was so angry that he almost fell off his horse and scolded: "You unlucky child! Why am I not a human anymore!"

When Lu Deyin saw Zhang Ping'an angry, he replied weakly: "My elder brother is a god!"

Zhang Ping'an immediately turned angry and happy: "That's right! Keep going!"

Lu Deyin said: "If my brother wasn't a god, how could he have sex with Sister Chang'e!"

After hearing what Lu Deyin said, Chen Pie and Zhang Li all laughed wildly. Zhang Ping'an was sad: "Let's go back, I'm going to be angry to death here!"

Zhang Ping'an pointed to the valley and asked Zhang Li: "Have you seen the place just now?"

Zhang Li smiled and replied: "Boss, I understand. This is the hiding point between Hu Ming and me! Don't worry! I even look forward to the shelter of the wind!"
Chapter completed!
