As night falls, stars are dotted, birds return to their nests, and the people also turn off the lights and go to rest.

At this time, the Mayi County Government was brightly lit, and many soldiers wearing armor were shuttled through the period. They seemed very hurried. There were already five or six people sitting in the county government hall.

"The news came from Yunchang that Niu Tou Village will be 1,500 troops coming to Mayi to rob. Fan summoned you to come to ask everyone what they meant, whether the strategy we set a few days ago was still feasible."

After everyone arrived, Yang Fan took the lead and spoke.

"One thousand five hundred people? Is there a horse army?"

Zhang Liao has been very energetic these days. Because of Yang Fan's trust, he was only fourteen years old and the commander of the army of the Five Colleges. The matchmaker who came to ask for marriage every day was almost flattened the threshold of his family.

"There are only more than thirty cavalry, acting as whistle cavalry."

A man in his thirties quickly replied that this man called Jiao Lin and went up Niutou Mountain with Guan Yu. This time he was the letter he came back to report.

“What about weapons?”

"Most of them have ring-headed swords, a few have exquisite spears, armor, and about a hundred archers."

"Well, I think the strategy I had formulated before can still be implemented, but our army's first attack target should be slightly changed, and first attack the opponent's archers."

The two of them asked and answered each other, and soon explained the facts of the Niutou Village's people and horses clearly. Then Zhang Liao thought for a while and said.

"Jiao Lin brought us a message this time. You might as well guess?"

Seeing that everyone's faces were heavy, Yang Fan immediately said.

"I don't know what?"

Su Shuang was sleek and saw that Yang Fan wanted to liven up the atmosphere, he quickly spoke up.

"Zhang Jiao sent someone to lobby Niu San to join Taiping Road. Niu San has agreed. This man seems to be very ambitious and intends to plot against Bingzhou."

Seeing Su Shuang as a good man, Yang Fan immediately cast an admiring look at him, and then told him about the Taiping Dao plan to rebel after the New Year.

"It's true that Zhang Jiao wants to rebel as the lord said."

"It's really God helps the lord. Niu San is full of ambitions, but he doesn't expect to be his lord's wedding dress in the end."

Zhang Liao was startled and said first. Su Shuang smiled and thought to himself that he had not followed the wrong person at the beginning.

The other Gao Shun, Ma Chuang, and Zhang Shiping also looked at Yang Fan with admiration.

"In this battle, our army's Zhang Liao army dispatched 1,000 troops, and Gao Shun army dispatched all. Zhang Liao led the entire army, with the old soldiers in front and behind the new recruits. I hope you will do your best to capture the Niutouzhai thieves' army in one battle and return peace in Mayi."

Yang Fan randomly picked up the wine bottle and stood up, smiling.

"Subordinate, I will obey the order."

Everyone stood up and shouted with great ambitions.

Shanlin Village is not bad, but is named after the mountains and forests. The forests are deep and dense, and the path is stretched. After Yang Fan brought a forest with the army, Zhang Liao ordered the entire army to rest and start to arrange combat tasks. There is no other way, blocking both ends, cutting off the central army, and beheading and intimidating.

"Wenyuan, I'll do it."

Seeing Zhang Liao scolding a new recruit not far away, the soldier was really cowardly. He was so scared that he started crying in a low voice as soon as he arrived in the forest, which had a bad impact on the morale of the entire army. Yang Fan hurriedly walked to the soldier and said with a smile.

"What name do you call it? How old is this year?"

Yang Fan had a gentle expression and pulled Zhang Liao behind him and asked the soldier.

"If you go back to... the adult..., the little one calls Li... Li Niu, it's sixteenth this year."

Seeing Yang Fan’s questioning, Li Niu quickly stammered in reply.

"There is no need to be so reserved, is he from Mayi?"

Yang Fan first comforted Li Niu a few words before asking.

"The little guy is not from Mayi, but comes here for fleeing famine. The adults are kind-hearted and open warehouses to release grain. Only when the villain is able to survive. This time, joining the army is just to repay the kindness of the adults, and even if they die, they will have no regrets."

Li Niu knelt down to Yang Fan and said, and as he spoke, he burst into tears and was extremely excited.

"We are grateful to the Lord for his life, and we will never regret even if we die."

Most of the soldiers around were people who fled from other places. When Li Niu said this, they knelt down to Yang Fan, their voices were surging and exciting.

"Please get up. Here Fan should first thank you for your trust. Secondly, you are not fighting for me, Yang Fan, but for Mayi; for the stability and prosperity of Mayi; for the brothers and sisters behind us; for the rescue of more people like you."

Yang Fan was deeply stimulated. Such a simple and simple person was really the only one who saw him in his life, and he said loudly at the same time.

"Soldiers, I won't say much more about anything else. The thieves in Niutouzhai intend to come to rob Mayi. They want to make us hungry, our parents hungry, and our children hungry. Everyone says, what should we do?"

Yang Fan came to a high stone not far away, climbed up, raised his arms and shouted loudly.

"That's all, they don't let me live, I don't let them live, they kill them."

Zhang Liao was the first to react, and then a feeling of admiration arose in his heart. He quickly pulled out the knife around his waist and shouted.

"Destroy them!"

"Destroy them!"

"Destroy them!"

The soldiers around were excited and kept waving their weapons, and their morale suddenly rose.

"Can this soldier be used?"

Yang Fan jumped off Gao Shi and turned his head and smiled at Zhang Liao.

“The morale is high and it can be fought.”

Zhang Liao led his troops for the first time, and such a method of motivation was unprecedented. He said with admiration.

"The lord led his troops for the first time, but he was like a veteran on the battlefield, and he admired him."

Gao Shun is also Brother Chu. He was a little at a loss just now, but he calmed down at this time.

"Zhongyun, sometimes don't think too complicated. Look, Ma Chuangmen has always been quiet like Mount Tai."

Yang Fan pointed at a group of soldiers not far away. All of them were Ma Chuan's old subordinates. Each of them stood there silently, without making a sound.

"This group of people are all fierce soldiers on the battlefield, so naturally they are not comparable to these new recruits."

Gao Shun looked at it and said with admiration.

"Does Zhongyun have the confidence to train a group of soldiers who are even more powerful than them?"

Yang Fan encouraged.

"That's natural. In time, the brothers under Shun will definitely not be worse than them."

Gao Shun patted his chest and smiled.

"Well, Zhongyun's ability is naturally very trustworthy, but you must not work behind closed doors in everything. Ma Chuang can bring out these brave men, so it makes sense. When you have nothing to do in your spare time, Zhongyun can go around more and share your experiences."

Yang Fan patted Gao Shun's arm, then found a big tree to sit on the foot of the tree and rested.

"Lord, the whistle cavalry is coming to report that the thieves in Niutouzhai are less than ten miles away."

A few quarters of an hour later, Gao Shun gently shook Yang Fan and whispered.

"Oh? Call Wenyuan quickly and Ma Chuang comes."

Yang Fan woke up immediately and said quickly.

A moment later, Zhang Liao and Ma Chuang had already arrived in front of Yang Fan.

“Have all been arranged?”

When the war came, Yang Fan was very nervous. This was his maiden battle and he could not lose it.

"Don't worry, lord, just wait for the bandits to arrive, and they will definitely not return."

Zhang Liao was full of confidence.

"The lord is very relieved. The 300 people under his command are all fierce soldiers on the battlefield, and there are only more than a thousand bandits. It is difficult to win if they are unexpected."

Seeing that Yang Fan was often abnormal, Ma Chuang understood what was going on at a glance, and immediately comforted him.

"You have the intention."

Yang Fan could understand Ma Chuang's words naturally, and then he cast a grateful look at him.

"You go and prepare quickly, especially those recruits, you must not have trouble."

"promise!"

Zhang Liao, Ma Chuang retreated with his fists.

After the two left, Yang Fan quickly got up and walked quickly towards a high ground, climbed on the hillside and stared quietly at the path below. Gao Shun was lying beside him, and there were eight hundred soldiers from Gao Shun behind him.

Just as Yang Fan was waiting a little impatiently, he suddenly saw dust flying in the distance, and a large group of bandits were marching towards this side in rows.

The leader was a burly bald man.

‘It’s finally here!’

Yang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, and tried hard to suppress the surging blood in his chest.
