"What...is going on?" Zhang Diwan asked in shock.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Brother, I'm afraid we won this game."

"How is it possible? What's going on? Xiao Gui, what happened? Didn't the brothers have enough to eat? How could they lose?" Zhang Diwan shouted at the top of his lungs.

Xiao Gui limped over, with dazzling red blood on his chest. He fought with Lei Hu, but Lei Hu threw him into the snow and was shot in the chest. Although he also used a knife on Lei Hu's stomach.

After a slash, they were both eliminated in the end.

Xiao Gui leaned close to Zhang Diwan's ear and whispered the fire brigade's rogue tactics just now. He said unconvinced: "I have never seen such a rogue tactics. I think we can't be ruthless. We are using

Wooden weapons are so shameless. Brothers are really angry at losing."

Zhang Diwan was stunned for a moment, threw the spear in his hand on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say such things, if you lose, you lose. When did our loyal army find a reason? Besides, the rules are like this, this is not the case.

In actual combat, what they did was a smart move. They just made reasonable use of the rules. Tell brothers, don't be dissatisfied. It's my fault that we lost in strategy and it's none of their business."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother is really a man with a broad mind. We did take advantage of the rules and the loopholes in non-actual combat. The officers and soldiers of the Zhongyi Army did not lose. If this were an actual combat, we would definitely not be our opponents. This is just a game.

That's all. We luckily used the rules to win this game, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing in actual combat."

Zhang Diwan smiled and said: "You don't need to comfort us. I have to admit that your strategy is exquisite. It is a good idea to send people to entangle me and let your people trade lives with us. Then you will be invincible."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "This can only be regarded as a trick. There is no way, without such a trick, we are no match for the Zhongyi Army. Today has also opened our eyes. The qualities of the brothers of the Zhongyi Army are really admirable.

There are just a hundred soldiers and horses, and their momentum is comparable to tens of millions of soldiers and horses. They are really brave. In terms of spirit, we are far behind. Brother, I finally understand why the Jin people are unable to do anything to you. The loyal and loyal army is even here.

It still maintains strong morale, confidence and discipline. You can imagine how brave it will be once the soldiers are well-prepared, armored and equipped with weapons."

Zhang Diwan smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, I guess you still have some eyesight. But if you lose, you lose. Whether it is a game or a trick. You will win this competition after all. You win two out of three games."

When you leave, if Ruomei can go with you, I will never stop you. You also taught Zhang Diwan a lesson today. It is true that there are people outside the world. I, Zhang Rong, have always been confident and thought that I have no rival.

.But today I saw the methods of you and your brothers, and I realized that I am a frog in the well. Let’s not talk about you, let’s talk about Brother Feng. His archery and martial arts are not inferior to mine. I am really convinced.”

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the compliment, brother, but I don't take it seriously. Today is just for entertainment, and I can't do much. I will apologize to all the loyal brothers in the army later. After all, some methods can be used on the enemy, but they can be used on one's own people.

It seems less upright. In addition, there is something wrong with Ruomei following me to Yanjing. This bet should be over. Ruomei still stays with my brother to help. If we can escape from this trip unscathed, I will come with her again.

Let’s go back to Lin’an together.”

Zhang Diwan said in surprise: "Oh? You changed your mind?"

Fang Zian nodded and said

: "Yes, I have to think about her safety. I can't protect myself on this trip, and I can't let her go with me and take risks. The reason why I said I wanted to go with her is because I couldn't bear to refuse her, so I verbally agreed to her.

"

Zhang Diwan said: "You mean, Ruomei doesn't know that you lied to her?"

Fang Zian nodded slightly and whispered: "Yes, brother, please keep it a secret. After all, I can't let her take risks with her."

Zhang Diwan turned around and saw Zhang Ruomei standing far away from the crowd of onlookers, looking this way. Then he sighed softly and said: "Brother-in-law, you are really good to my sister. I am too."

I feel that it is not appropriate for you to wait for her to go to Yanjing, so I want to keep her. It is not my selfish intention to prevent you and your husband from reuniting. I didn’t expect that you have already considered this. However, Ruomei’s temper is probably not what anyone wants.

Can stop her."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "I will leave quietly in a few days while she is out collecting. By the time she finds out, I have already gone far. I will also leave a message to explain. Brother, don't worry."

Zhang Diwan thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's all, just do as you say. Let's go, today is very enjoyable, my camp has not been so lively for a long time. Let's go have a drink, I have a lot of questions to ask

And you."

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Oh? Brother, what do you want to ask me?"

Zhang Diwan said: "For example...you are a scholar, where did you get your martial arts skills? You seem to have a lot of experience in fighting, so what is going on? Also, what is your plan for the attack?

Where did you learn it? Why can’t I understand you more and more, and I always feel that your identity is mysterious? You have to give me a good explanation."

Fang Zian laughed loudly and said: "Brother is really a curious person. That's all, let's go drink and chat while drinking."

…

The New Year passed by in a flash, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, all work was resumed. Because they saw the dawn of hope, the people in the mountains who were not very active at first became extremely active. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when work started, men, women, old and children

They all joined the battle and rushed to help. Thousands of people were suddenly involved in the work, and the scene was very lively.

Since the departure was imminent, Fang Zian also took the time to do more things for the Zhongyi Army. Fang Zian saw that although the enthusiasm of everyone at the top and bottom was high, the efficiency of labor was very average. The tools were simple and the weather was freezing, so it was difficult to dig canals and cut trees.

The difficulty of these things is twice as difficult as usual. In addition to ensuring good logistics and providing spiritual encouragement, we also need to make a fuss about improving labor efficiency.

Fang Zian gave several suggestions. The first is to improve labor tools. Tools such as wooden shovels are too inefficient, so iron labor tools must be carefully crafted. There is a lack of iron tools in the camp, so they can only

Melting some weapons and forging them into working tools is something that is difficult for an army to accept. However, in view of the current change in the guiding ideology of the Zhongyi Army, which has changed from active combat to self-preservation and self-sufficiency, Zhang Di Wan is still

Gritting his teeth, he ordered some weapons to be melted into working tools.

In addition, under the guidance of Fang Zian, a large number of wooden cranes were installed in the main workplace to transport the excavated soil. The excavated frozen soil originally required manpower to transport baskets one by one, which was too inefficient. Erection

After installing a wooden crane, a large amount of soil can be cleared and transported, saving a lot of labor in excavation, reclamation and construction.

In order to speed up the transfer of personnel and the transportation of materials, Fang Zian also asked General Zhang Diwan to win the gold prize

More than two hundred war horses were lifted from the caves on the eastern cliffs. A simple large sled was built to transport the felled wood, thatch and stones used to reinforce the embankment through horse-drawn sleds. Although

Using war horses as working animals is a waste of natural resources, but under the guiding ideology of building camps and valleys to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

In addition, Fang Zian also suggested to Zhang Diwan that he should take this opportunity to relocate the people. Plan the village layout and roads on high places such as the earth-laden embankments, and move the people living on the hillside here. Construction

Permanent residences are provided free of charge for the people to live in. This is for future consideration. After the construction of the fields and ditches, the people will farm here. The original village living pattern is too far from the center of the valley, which is inappropriate. And the hillside

The houses in the villages above are too dilapidated and the living conditions of the people are not good. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out unified planning. In the future, people will live in the center of the valley. Not only will it be more convenient to cultivate the fields, but it will also completely change their lives.

Method. It is impossible to live a good life by fishing, hunting and gathering. Allowing people to obtain land by distributing cultivated fertile land to the people for free is the best way to change their way of life and enhance their support and confidence in the loyal army.

.After all, fertile land is the lifeblood of the people.

Various measures are suggestions that are in line with the actual situation of the camp, and some suggestions have immediately changed the status quo. With the improvement of production tools and the increase in efficiency, the construction progress has been greatly improved. Fang Zian considered it carefully and reorganized the valley.

According to the plan, the entire valley will form an irrigation water system with two lakes, three canals and several water-storage ponds. With the camp as the center, four main roads will be laid leading to the surrounding cliffs to facilitate marching and transporting goods. Three buildings will be built on the highlands around the camp.

In a large village, a valley market town was planned between the villages for daily transactions and gatherings. Thousands of acres of greenhouse paddy fields in the center of the valley, thousands of acres of highland dry fields in the west highlands, and thousands of acres of highland dry fields in the south were re-planned.

There are four large areas including several miles of gently sloping grassland, livestock pastures, and a planned lime kiln quarry under the cliff in the north.

Fang Zian personally made a colorful planning rendering and erected it in front of the camp. The green valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains on the top of the rendering is extremely beautiful. Lakes and rivers meander in the green valley, and there are fields.

, there are wide avenues, beautiful houses, and groups of leisurely cattle and sheep under the blue sky and white clouds. It is simply a paradise. Everyone who sees this rendering is amazed and yearns for it.

.Of course they hope that the future camp valley will look like that picture.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the departure day discussed by Fang Zian, Shi Hao and others has arrived. In the early morning of the eighth day, Zhang Ruomei got up from Fang Zian's arms as usual, and looked at the sleepy Fang Zian's face.

After a kiss, she washed up and took the female battalion soldiers and women from the common people to the west cliff to collect pine cones, berries and wild vegetables under the snow. During this time, Zhang Ruomei knew that she was leaving the Zhongyi Army, so she was especially

She wanted to do something for the Zhongyi Army. She left early and came back late hoping to do more for the Zhongyi Army. She had no idea that Fang Zi An was leaving today.

After Zhang Ruomei left, Fang Zian immediately stood up and gave orders to prepare for departure. While the fire brigade soldiers were getting ready, Fang Zian sat in Zhang Ruomei's room and left a letter for her. After that, he went out to join the soldiers and horses, and the whole team set off.
Chapter completed!
