Zhang Ping'an did not expect that the transfer of population and materials was so slow and complicated. For seven days, all the personnel and materials had not been transported to the transit camp established by Li Chen.

Zhang Ping'an was in the tent all day long and perfected the map. He sat in front of the sand table from time to time in a daze. Zhang Ping'an thought about it from the sand table and sat at the desk, looking at the map on the table.

A bowl of warm milk tea was handed to him. Zhang Ping'an looked up at the beautiful woman standing beside him. He nodded gently. Zhang Ping'an was not a noble person. If it weren't for the tense war, Zhang Ping'an would definitely talk to her about ideals and life; and even more about the different physiological structures of men and women. Because for the sake of this female secretary named Lu Ruge, Zhang Ping'an brought Chen Xiucai's subordinates to persuade him to stay away from the vixen's group of old scholars, and scolded him so much that he was scolded.

Three days ago, when Zhang Ping'an was patrolling the camp, he saw a woman curled up beside the pile of forage in the cold wind. He began to take her to his tent out of sympathy. Unexpectedly, this woman was so charming that she was washed up after a while. Although she was not the Yangzhou thin horse that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty liked, she was the type that Zhang Ping'an liked. In addition, Lu Ruge came from a scholarly family and recognized her words, so Zhang Ping'an immediately appointed her as his personal secretary.

Unexpectedly, a group of literati under Chen Xiucai ran to Zhang Ping'an and advised Zhang Ping'an to stay away from this charming woman. He educated Zhang Ping'an for nearly two hours, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Demolition of the Yuan Dynasty, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Twenty-Two Histories (it should have been the Twenty-Four Histories, the Ming Dynasty was written by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was written by the Republic of China). At first, Zhang Ping'an explained patiently, but later Zhang Ping'an was upset and furious. He directly called his personal soldiers and cut off the tongues of ten Mongolian Tartars in front of these literati. Only then did the matter settle.

This time, Zhang Ping'an led his troops to rescue more than 20,000 Ming people at a very small price. His personal prestige was unprecedentedly high. Now it can be said that Zhang Ping'an's words were revealed to be a constitution. In order to express his gratitude, the craftsmen in the camp carefully created the tent tools based on his figure in their spare time.

Tomorrow is the last day for material transfer, but according to Hu Ming's scouts, Hu Ming's troops have fought with the Tartar scouts yesterday. In order to ensure the safety of the personnel, Zhang Ping'an has transferred all the Li Chen's troops and the two thousand new recruits he led.

Zhang Ping'an took a sip of milk tea and pointed at Lu Ruge at his head. Lu Ruge gave him an understanding massage on his head. Under Lu Ruge's gentle fingertips, Zhang Ping'an fell asleep.

A cold wind woke Zhang Ping'an from his sleep. He saw Lu Deyin hitting the snowflakes on his body. Lu Deyin saw Zhang Ping'an looking at him, so he said, "Master!"

Zhang Ping'an immediately interrupted him: "Do Yin, there is no outsider, you still call me brother! You are older than them, hahahahaha, we two little kids are the oldest!"

Lu Deyin also smiled and was very proud: "That's right, brother is the first, I am the second!"

"Brother, there is an emergency military information. According to Brother Hu's scouts, there were no less than three thousand Mongolian Tartars, heading from northwest to south. The scouts did not see the Tartars' army, but judged based on the footprints on the snow."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and asked him: "Hu Ming, have Zhang Li and the others arrived at the notice?"

"It's all here, I'm discussing with Brother Chen Po and the others. It seems that Brother Zhang Li has a new situation report. I'm waiting for you to meet at the tent."

"Bad! I don't have such a big rule. Go and call them all!"

Soon a group of old brothers came to the tent, and Zhang Ping'an said to Lu Ruge: "You go down and rest first! By the way, I will send a message to the personal soldiers at the door. We will hold a meeting and follow the old rules! Thirty steps in martial law!"

After seeing Lu Ruge go out, Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Do Yin, notify all the brothers of the personal military camp that the old brothers come to see me, no need to inform you! You are old brothers, don't be able to make things happen! I think it's better for Zhang Li to say first, Hu Ming adds, Mr. Chen's record!"

Zhang Li said: "Master!"

Zhang Ping'an immediately interrupted: "When there is no outsider, it's better to call the boss. It sounds comfortable. I will call him Dashen when I make an order! Actually, I really like the title of chief. But you can just call him whatever you like! You can continue!" Zhang Ping'an knows when to win people's hearts.

"Little boss, my scout discovered the Tartars' brigade! But it was strange that the Tartars' brigade was divided into two groups. From the flag, it can be seen that the brigade must be from the Duoyan tribe, with more than a thousand people, one person and two horses, and some three horses. However, about five miles away from the Duoyan tribe, there were more than a thousand people, and one person and two horses. The scouts did not see the flag clearly. The two marched in the same direction, but the two sent scouts to each other after setting up camp! It was more than seventy miles away from our main camp, which is yours."

Hu Ming nodded to him and added: "This time the Mongolian Tartars were very cautious. The scouts were released twenty miles away. The scouts, all the mountains were investigated!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and asked Chen Pie: "Have you separated from Li Chen's troops? How are the training done? Can you go to the battlefield?"

Chen Poe stood up and replied, "These recruits have a good foundation! They are very quick to train and can be very useful!"

Zhang Ping'an said to Zhang Li again: "You have been in the south for so long, and have you had a good battlefield for ambush?"

"If the Duoyan tribe was going to meet with the tribes south of them, their current camp will be 130 miles south, and there will be a good place for ambush. The mountains on the road are very steep and the scouts cannot go up! As for setting up the formation, you must go and see it! If we set out tomorrow, we can arrive the day after tomorrow. The Tartars have to walk on the mountain road for at least four days!"

Zhang Ping'an began to ponder again, and his fingers beat the table rhythmically; then stood up and walked out of the tent. He looked at the sun that was sinking, took a few breaths in the direction of the cold wind. He turned around and walked into the tent and began to think.

Zhang Ping'an made up his mind and stood up and ordered: "Hu Ming!"

"arrive!"

"The Second Battalion of your army, except for one hundred scouts to monitor the north, all move towards Zhang Li's army!"

"Yes! Grandmaster!"

"Zhang Li!"

"arrive!"

"You go back today. I will let Deyin go with you. Before I arrive, explore the terrain and make a sand table! And we must investigate the intentions of the Mongolian Tatars behind us. Do you understand?"

"Yes! The Grand Marshal!" Zhang Li and Lu Deyin replied in unison.

"Chen Poe, Li Chen, Huang Zhi, and Huang Wei's fourth divisions and my personal military camp will set off tomorrow and meet with Zhang Li's division. Zhang Tong's division stays behind the camp and listens to Mr. Chen's arrangements. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Grandmaster!"

"Let me explain why we do this. First, it seems that the Duoyan tribe wants to gather troops to deal with us. So we have to defeat each other; so that our pressure will be reduced. Second, we must always clench into a fist to deal with the enemies attacking us. The Duoyan tribe originally has not many men. As long as Duoyan dies another three thousand men, Duoyan will not pose a threat to us within ten years! I will take people first tomorrow morning. Chen Pai leads the large army to set off before noon!"

However, after Zhang Ping'an assigned the mission, he changed his mind and took his personal military camp to set off with Zhang Li in advance. After arriving at Zhang Li's camp, Zhang Ping'an fell to bed.

In the early morning, the sun was still sleeping; Zhang Ping'an asked for a bowl of salt water and began to brush his teeth with his hands dipped in water. He was looking forward to his first task to the camp gold and silver craftsmen, and the first task he arranged was to make him a toothbrush.

Zhang Ping'an gave all the soldiers three meals a day, rather than the Ming Dynasty's habit of two meals a day. This arrangement helped the soldiers' physical strength to recover quickly. Zhang Ping'an happily drank bean sprouts and ate a piece of bread. He shouted to Lu Deyin: "Deyin, go and call Zhang Li, let him lead the way, let us go and see the terrain!"

An hour later, Zhang Li took them to the preset battlefield he mentioned. Zhang Ping'an immediately saw that this was a valley formed by icebergs, heading north and south towards a trumpet-shaped valley.

Zhang Li introduced the terrain he had investigated to Zhang Ping'an: "This valley is forty miles long from north to south, and seven miles from south to north at the entrance of the valley. There is an east-west valley. However, the cavalry cannot walk because this valley has a rocky beach of more than 300 feet. I can't think of a way to attack from there. So I have to ask the young boss to see what to do!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and pointed forward with a whip: "Go and take a look! Let's go north first, and then go back from fifty miles!"

Zhang Ping'an looked all the way and didn't see a good place where he could attack from both sides of the valley and hide his troops. He had to walk back to the small valley that Zhang Li said east-west. As Zhang Li said, the horse could not leave after less than ten feet of walking. So they dismounted and walked eastward.

Zhang Ping'an nodded. It seemed that Zhang Li was very thin in surveying the terrain. It was also a river beach. It seemed flat under the cover of heavy snow, but it was full of rocks. Although the stones were not big, it had a great impact on the attacks of the people and horses. However, after 600 feet, there was a flat river beach that was seven hundred feet long and fifty feet wide. It was absolutely no problem to put 5,000 people here. Zhang Li was right. This six hundred feet long road was the most difficult to walk at the entrance of the valley. It took them nearly half an hour to walk. If the scouts had not been strictly ordered, they would not investigate it.

Zhang Ping'an and his friends returned to the entrance of the small valley and rode their horses to the preset main battlefield. When they arrived at the preset battlefield, Zhang Li began to introduce the battlefield terrain. He pointed west and said, "From here three hundred feet west, it is a rocky beach. Horses can't get through at all. People can barely pass by. If they go west fifteen feet, it will be difficult for people to walk! On the east is a cliff mountain that is forty feet high, and on the south, you can only set up a formation!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and praised: "It's really a name for the eagle! You are a real general!"

Then he turned around and ordered Lu Deyin: "You arrange for people to go back to the camp immediately and ask Mr. Chen for five hundred white cloths! It must be delivered by tomorrow night! Go quickly!" Soon ten personal soldiers, one by three horses, ran towards the camp.

Zhang Ping'an said to Zhang Li: "You ordered someone to cut down trees and make me a five-meter-wide wooden raft. It doesn't require it to be too neat, just cut off the branches. Your department will practice how to quickly lay the wooden raft from today! How did the scout arrange it?"

Zhang Li slapped his forehead excitedly: "Why didn't I expect such a simple way! Don't worry, little boss, the scout will have new news this afternoon!"

Zhang Ping'an said to Lu Deyin: "You have already seen the terrain, and when you go back, you can make a sand table!"

Lu Deyin asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
