At dawn on the second day, the army held on to the remnants of the night. The soldiers rested for half the night, but they looked clean. Zhang Fan couldn't stand Wang Degui's grinding last night, and revealed some news to him a little. Wang Degui knew that the army was about to launch a general attack, and he was also very excited, but he was a little depressed when he thought that he might have to be Zhang Fan's guard again, and he couldn't go into battle. Now he is riding a horse, and he is weakly following Zhang Fan.

"What's wrong, Degui? Why is there a weak look? Zhang Fan saw his look of suffering from gains and losses, and asked.

"Oh, my lord, I ...... I don't have anything, it's just ......" Wang Degui was a little speechless.

"I know what you're thinking." Zhang Fan said, "You want to go into battle, don't you?" ”

"Yes......" Wang Degui said, and then thought of something, "It's just...... It's just that the safety of adults is equally important, and I can't ignore the safety of adults, not to mention that Lord Liu has a life, so I have been guarding the adults. ”

"If you want to go into battle, I can go and tell Master Liu to change a team of people to come." Zhang Fan said.

"Really!" When Wang Degui heard Zhang Fan's words, he was happy at first, but then lowered his head, "I still don't want it!" Although I also want to go into battle to kill the Tartars, everyone in the army has their own affairs, and I can't change people because of me. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Fan was a little strange, this Wang Degui still had this kind of thought.

"What's more, adults taught me the truth of being a human being, although I haven't read a book, but the words of adults let me know how to live in the future." Wang Degui continued, "Besides, guarding the safety of Lord Bo is also helping the brothers fight well. The most important thing is not whether I can go into battle to kill the Tartars, let the Tartars no longer harass other people in the future, and no longer let what happened to me happen to anyone again. ”

"......" Zhang Fan was really amazed by Wang Degui's words at this time, he didn't expect that a big man who had never read a book and didn't know the teachings of the sage would say this kind of thing and this kind of thing that took the overall situation into account. After a while, Zhang Fan said: "Degui, you are a good person and a good soldier, and your wish will definitely come true." ”

Wang Degui didn't speak, but showed a sincere smile.

According to the confession of the captured Tartars, the main tent of the Tartars was in the northeast of the place where they were stationed last night, only a few dozen miles. In order to be cautious and not let the whereabouts of the army be discovered, Liu Jinquan sent many scouts to explore the surrounding areas, and the march was also very slow. Along the way, they encountered two more patrols of Tartars, both of whom were white. Liu Jinquan decisively sent troops to exterminate them, but because there was no longer a need to capture prisoners, they were all annihilated twice, leaving no one alive. Zhang Fan also recorded it like this.

In the evening, the army came to the predetermined place, and they had walked cautiously for a day or two. At the moment, he camped and rested, and Liu Jinquan sent 2,000 people to disperse Carlyle to patrol the surroundings in order to be sure. In order to keep the soldiers alive in tomorrow's raid, the change of defense was very fast, so that most of the soldiers could get enough rest.

In Liu Jinquan's main account, an attack is being deployed after a few hours, and Zhang Fan and Zhao Lie are making records.

"Tomorrow will be the end of the day, and it will be dark, when the Tartars are at their most tired, and we will launch a surprise attack there." Liu Jinquan said, "According to the report from the scouts in front, there are about 8,000 people stationed around the main tent of the Tartars, but they are all relatively lax. This time, I just want to break into the Tartar tent and kill the general of the Tartars, Bars, and his men. It's better to finish it for me when the 8,000 people don't react, so that I have time to retreat, or we're going to get into a bitter fight!" ”

"This time, Zhou Biao led a thousand people to go around behind the Tartar tent, and he must not be careful not to let the enemy find out." Liu Jinquan began to deploy the work of various generals.

"No!" Zhou Biao responded.

"Liu Yong took a thousand people to the left flank of the Tartar tent, and Zhao Rui took a thousand people to the right flank." Liu Jinquan continued, "I will lead a thousand people to raid the front. Wait for my men and horses to enter and leave the enemy camp, and then send troops to their support. This time, you must remember to fight quickly, and you must not delay the big thing by thinking about killing more Tartars. ”

"No!" Several people said loudly.

"Hmm!" Liu Jinquan nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wang Xing: "If we succeed, the Tartar army will definitely be angry and come to pursue." Wang Xing, you will lead a thousand cavalry to ambush on the back road of our retreat, and block the pursuit of the Tartars, but you must not fight with the Tartars, and if you see the opportunity, let me escape, and flee to the east in a different direction from us. You're all cavalry, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to escape the Tartars. ”

"The last general commands!" Wang Xing said.

"Come back alive!" Liu Jinquan patted Wang Xingdi on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely bring my brothers back to restore my sight to my lordship." Wang Xing was also excited.

Liu Jinquan finished ordering everyone's tasks, and said to everyone: "This surprise attack, I don't know life and death, but we have no regrets...... we all have no regrets" After a pause, he said: "I won't be a woman here." He picked up his wine and saluted the generals present: "I wish you all a safe return!" ”

The generals below also picked up the wine in front of them and said, "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the adults." "Drink the wine in the dry bowl and smash the bowl to pieces.

"Then let's get some rest! There are less than three hours left before departure! Liu Jinquan dismissed the generals and sat in his seat silently.

"Your Excellency." Zhang Fan came to Liu Jin's whole body and said.

"Oh, it's Master Zhang!" Liu Jinquan looked at Zhang Fan and said.

"Why did you tell them that? Instead of letting them fight and kill the enemy or something? Zhang Fan asked.

"Since we have joined the army, since we have come here, we have thought about completing the task of Lord Wang, and life and death have long been put aside." Liu Jinquan said, "Each of them has already realized that they have already died in battle, and I just want them to come back alive." After all, whether it is a general or a soldier, there are relatives waiting for them to return home safely! ”

When Zhang Fan heard what Liu Jinquan said, he felt in his heart that this was different from what he thought, not that these people should complete the task at all, not that they should contribute everything for the general righteousness, nor that they should disregard life and death, kill the enemy desperately, and defend their families and the country, but that they all come back alive. This may not be the best pre-war mobilization, but it makes people's hearts rise with a kind of warmth, a kind of friendship. This feeling made Zhang Fan feel that such an army was truly invincible!

"By the way, the person I sent back to report that Lord Wang has returned!" Liu Jinquan thought about this matter, "Lord Wang has already noticed a person, but there is no evidence yet." He told me not to worry. ”

"Oh? Who can you say about Lord Wang? Zhang Fan asked?

"It wasn't mentioned in your letter." Liu Jinquan said, "But the lord said that the battle against the Tartars has begun in Shanshan. On the side of Datong and Jizhou, the Qi family army has already gone to the army and is fighting with the Tartars. ”

"That's great!" Zhang Fan was very happy to hear the news.

"I've sent someone to ask for support from you, and it's estimated that it will arrive in three days." Liu Jinquan said, "If it goes well, the supporting army does not arrive, and we can go home!" ”

Speaking of going home, Zhang Fan thought of his mother waiting at home, and he also felt homesick in his heart.

"Hopefully, all the best!" Zhang Fan said silently in his heart.
