Ma Yingniang couldn't bear it for a moment and said something about inviting Zhang Shun. She was thin-skinned and couldn't help but feel ashamed. But Zhang Shun was a thick-skinned man. He hit the snake with a stick and returned to the canopy. The angry Ma Yingniang couldn't help but secretly said

He shouted: Shameless person!

Zhang Shun didn't know what she was thinking, and even if he knew, he would probably laugh it off. In ancient times, fifteen or sixteen years old was considered to be the age of hair, but to Zhang Shun who traveled back in time from modern times, he was just a girl who had not graduated from junior high school.

Just a movie.

The so-called "hairpin" means that when a woman is fifteen years old, her hair is tied with hairpins to show that she is of marriageable age. A bun like Chunli's means that she is a young girl and should not be adopted, which means that she is not allowed to have a haircut.

I came here to propose marriage.

Although Zhang Shun had traveled through time for more than ten years, he had not gotten married, and he was not sure about the relationship between men and women in ancient times. He did not dare to speak nonsense for fear of breaking a taboo. Nothing happened, so he took out the book he "borrowed" from Wang Duo.

Browse through it to pass the time.

When Ma Yingniang saw that he ignored her and instead pretended to be a bachelor and read the book, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice with envy and curiosity: "Can you understand the book? What is written in it?"

"Uh..." These words stung Zhang Shun. Although he had learned some traditional Chinese characters from Taoist Ma, there were so many ancient variant characters, and there was no punctuation, making it very difficult to read.

It takes a lot of effort. For example, the opening chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu says: Sun Tzu said that the great things of a country, life and death, and the way of survival must be observed. If you don't think about it for a long time, you will be totally confused. So he could only answer awkwardly.

He said, "I can barely see, it's very difficult."

"Tch!" The inexplicable Ma Yingniang made a disdainful voice. She didn't know whether she was mocking him for pretending to understand, or pretending not to understand.

After all, when the boat docked and everyone had finished crossing the river, it was getting dark. Zhang ordered everyone to go to a remote place to set up camp and rest. It was said to be a camp, but it was extremely crude. Everyone set up camp around the car, and most of the tents were from the original Qian Fuzi

With what others had left behind, and some more cloth purchased after the Mengjin victory, everyone managed to have some cover.

Zhang Shun originally wanted to keep Huang Shoucai, but he was unwilling. Huang Shoucai said to Zhang Shun: "You have destiny, but the people have no help from heaven. This flood has affected tens of millions of people in Mengjin. I think the officials here have been incompetent for a long time, and they will be unable to rectify it."

This river. Within a few days, someone will come to my door and invite me to rescue and restore the river. This can save tens of millions of people, and I cannot abandon it."

"If you have destiny, you will ascend to a great position one day. But you can remember the slightest kindness from me today. I don't ask you for high officials, rich salary, gold and silver treasures. I only hope that you can order me to manage this river and prevent it from harming you.

The common people too."

Zhang Shun was ashamed and ashamed after hearing this, and said to the Yellow River: "Shun is looking at small profits and forgetting the great righteousness! Now I swear to the river: If I can do it one day, I will help Huang Shoucai manage this river so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Yes! If I violate this oath, I will be buried in this river!"

When Huang Shoucai, his Zhouzi, and even the young men recruited by Zhang Shun heard about it, they couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude and bowed to Zhang Shun. After Huang Shoucai finished worshiping, he lamented: "If the imperial city of the capital belonged to you, how could our people have suffered like this?"

It’s difficult!” Everyone was speechless for a while.

When Huang Shoucai and others crossed the river, they all hurried across the river all night and were exhausted. Zhang Shun ordered his people to rest quickly. However, he felt uneasy, so he arranged for Liu Yinggui to send people to guard, and Zhao Lizi to lead people to the surrounding area.

After dispatching scouts within five miles, everyone was allowed to rest.

Zhang Shun has been in a state of tension since he raised his troops at Guangwu Ling. At this time, he was also unbearably sleepy, so he went to rest. At some point, Zhang Shun was in a daze when he was suddenly woken up by someone.

Shun opened his eyes and saw that it was Wukong. Zhang Shun was about to ask what was going on, but Wukong shouted: "Master, someone has come back to report the enemy's situation."

"Enemy situation?" Zhang Shun, who had not yet recovered, suddenly woke up and shouted quickly, "Let him in quickly."

Zhang Shun quickly found a jar, poured out some cold water and wiped his face to wake himself up. At this time, the scout who came back reported to him: "General, Li Zi asked me to come and report to you. From Meng County

Hundreds of officers and soldiers came out of the county town and came towards us."

"We're here? How are your casualties?" Zhang Shun asked in surprise.

"Ah? We didn't fight them. I can't defeat them even with a small number of people." The scout was even more surprised.

"Then why did you say you called?" Zhang Shun asked strangely,

"Oh, just come over to us and we can start fighting right away."

"..." Zhang Shuncai realized that it was the scout who was not very good at what he said and almost made a mistake. He thought to himself, he would have to tell Zhao Lizi later and ask him to choose more smart people. If it is for investigation

Or if the report is wrong, then you will regret it.

Then, Zhang Shun quickly summoned everyone, told them the intelligence they had just received, and asked them what to do about the matter. Some people said they should avoid the enemy, some said they would fight the enemy, and some said they would sneak attack the county town. There was a stalemate for a while.

No less.

As soon as Zhang Shun saw that his men were not very reliable, he quickly and decisively ordered: "There is no need to argue about this matter, prepare for war immediately. When the enemy leaves the city, there are only two situations: discovering us and discovering other enemies. No matter what

The situation is that the enemy thinks that their combat power is higher than ours."

"We can't sit still and wait for death. You will still be in charge of food and supplies, Chief Ma, and find a remote place to hide them. If you are discovered, abandon the supplies and flee first to see if the enemy's formation is neat or chaotic. If it is neat, run away and don't come back; if it is chaotic,

, inform me in time, and we can launch an attack when he returns to the city."

"The rest of the people are waiting and follow me. I remember that Zhao Lizi reported to me before that there was a forest not far ahead. After a while, those who did not have a spear or a waist knife were in front, and when they encountered the enemy, they fled to the road next to the forest. Chen Jindou said this

Take responsibility. When escaping back, don't collide with our own team, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless and kill without mercy."

"In a moment, Zhao Yutou, and... that Wukong, you follow me and lead our team of more than a hundred armed with spears to form an array at the corner of the woods. Wait for Chen Jindou to lead the team back, and if there is any charge,

Those who do so will be shot to death on the spot without mercy."

"Zhang Sanbai, Zhang Wuhao and you two will lead the fifty guardsmen and lie in ambush in the woods, waiting for my order to attack the back or flank of the enemy's formation. Liu Yinggui will lead the team and stand behind the formation. If anyone dares to turn around and run away, military law will

Deal with it and kill him on the spot. The rest of the people should follow Taoist Master Ma to escape."

Zhang Shun gave the order in an orderly manner, and everyone obeyed and left. Zhang Shun also arranged for scouts to come to report the news, and reported back to Zhao Lizi: "Act with the camera, if we and the enemy are inseparable, there will be no winner or loser."

, we can come and raid the enemy's back; if the enemy is defeated, we can intercept the defeated soldiers or make a sneak attack on Mengxian County; if we are defeated, we can pretend to be reinforcements in the distance to scare the enemy, and then go to the agreed place to meet."

The plan was decided, and Zhang took the opportunity to lead everyone to set up a formation in front of the woods. This place happened to be a turning intersection, with the woods covering the left side. If the enemy did not turn around, they would definitely not be able to see their team.

The quality of Zhang Shun's soldiers was too low. He urged him many times and after a long time, he managed to form a spear formation of more than a hundred people. Five people in a row, twenty people in a row, the intersection was tightly blocked, and only the right side was blocked.

There is a low-lying ravine that is passable, but it is not very convenient.

Zhang Sanbai and Zhang Wuhao led fifty soldiers with waist knives and short spears into the woods, while Chen Jindou led a mess of 200 people to stay in front. He only had some axes, machetes and other items that he had scraped before, which was not enough manpower.

A handful, and the missing parts are mostly replaced by sticks.

Everything is ready but the east wind is waiting for the enemy to come and fall into the trap. Zhang Shun had originally planned for Wukong to lead his soldiers in an ambush, but when he remembered the emergency in Mengjin City, if Wukong left his side, there would be a lot of inconvenience during the emergency. More

What's more, it's not convenient for me to always favor Wukong and let him perform meritorious deeds. He also needs to give other people under his command some opportunities to practice.

The first battle everyone fought was a sneak attack on Meng Jin. After all, it went smoothly. They had almost no chance to be afraid and they succeeded. This field battle was different. They stood waiting for the enemy, but they were somewhat nervous, fearful and other emotions.

In fact, Zhang Shun himself was even more nervous. He knew that the so-called soldiers around him were better than the hungry and chaotic people. If when the war started, these honest farmers were intimidated by the official power and collapsed at the first touch, then he would really be in trouble every day.

Yes, the earth and the earth are not working. Fortunately, Wukong is by his side. If anything goes wrong, Wukong can quickly defeat the officials and thieves with one against a hundred.

The short wait turned out to be a long one. From the time the sun rose in the morning, until it reached the treetops, everyone finally waited for the team of officers and soldiers. After all, they were catching thieves, and the captured archers and government officials were not elite. Looking from a distance,

, rushed over only to see a mess.

As soon as Chen Jindou saw the officers and soldiers appearing, he wanted to lead his team and run back. Who would have thought that at this time, Zhang Shun had been waiting for a long time and was a little worried, so he ran over. Now in front of him, he shouted in a low voice: "You have to pretend too."

Just pretend, if you run away like this, everyone will know there is a ghost. Just lead them and yell at them, then run away."

Chen Jindou had no choice but to lead his team to call for formation, while Zhang Shun returned to his own formation.

Chen Jindou led his team in chaos and shouted at the other side. The enemy saw them and ran towards them. Chen Jindou didn't dare to resist, so he just turned around and ran with his team. When the other side saw the enemy fleeing, his morale was high and he chased faster.

When they reached the bend in the woods, Chen Jindou shouted loudly: "Be careful with military law, anyone who breaks into the formation will be killed without mercy!" Everyone had to avoid the formation as much as possible and crowded into the gully passage next to it. However, the water level had been too high these days, and the gully was extremely muddy.

Because it was covered by weeds, no one noticed it before. So all the defeated soldiers slipped and fell inside and were covered in mud. Some of them were impatient and couldn't help but rush towards the formation.
