"Is there such a thing? Do you need to provide lines for troop deployment?" Zhang Rui was a little confused about such a question, so he asked the two people around him
"I have never heard of such a transfer order before, so I am not very clear about it." Zhang Zhishan replied
"Ashamed, Sixth Brother. I only know that transfer orders generally state how many people will be taken to a certain location at what time. But it's not clear whether this route should be written. If the person who ordered the order doesn't know it himself, the reason is that it has other Purpose." Wang Kaiyuan said apologetically.
After all, Wang Kaiyuan also knew that he was the chief of staff, similar to a military adviser, but he couldn't even figure out the situation of these transfer orders, which really made him feel a little incompetent.
"Consultant Wang, I can't blame you for this. After all, you are just getting in touch with me, and you will get better gradually in the future." Zhang Rui comforted Wang Kaiyuan and said
"Brother Six, there is no need to comfort me. As a staff officer, I am really at fault for not being able to do my job in my position. I will reflect on my efforts when I go back." Wang Kaiyuan replied with self-blame.
"Okay, it's rare for Counselor Wang to have such understanding." Zhang Rui said encouragingly to Wang Kaiyuan
Faced with Wang Kaiyuan's self-blame, Zhang Rui was still very pleased. Being able to recognize your own shortcomings and then work hard to learn and correct them is a good attitude towards things.
Zhang Rui did not complain too much about Wang Kaiyuan's current shortcomings. After all, I am now the tallest among the short ones. It would be nice if there are many scholars who come to help me, and I can't ask too much.
Throughout the ages, how many people can truly "disintegrate their boats and oars into ashes while talking and laughing" as written in the poem? Therefore, Zhang Rui understands that talents are not achieved in one fell swoop. It takes time to develop experience.
"Let's do this, Battalion Commander Zhang. No matter what the real purpose of the transfer order is, is there any way you can get its contents?" Zhang Rui looked at Zhang Zhishan and asked
After hearing this, Zhang Zhishan hesitated and thought for a moment, then replied to Zhang Rui: "Okay, Sixth Brother. I promise to complete the task."
"Well...thank you for your hard work." Zhang Rui said happily after hearing Zhang Zhishan's affirmative answer.
"It should be." Zhang Zhishan replied, and at the same time, he was already thinking about how to get the content of this order.
"Brother Six, if there's nothing else, I'll go and get busy first." Zhang Zhishan looked at Zhang Rui and asked
"Okay, you go and do your work first." Zhang Rui replied
"Yes." Zhang Zhishan saluted Zhang Rui, then turned and left.
Looking at Zhang Zhishan's leaving figure, Wang Kaiyuan happily said to Zhang Rui: "This Camp Commander Zhang is not bad."
"Indeed." Zhang Rui also looked at Zhang Zhishan's leaving back and replied.

next morning
Inside the Zhilianshan office study room
Zhang Rui was looking at the transfer order Zhang Zhishan copied from Feng Jiubao in his hand.
After the love affair
Zhang Rui handed the finished copy to Wang Kaiyuan who was standing aside, and then waited for Wang Kaiyuan to finish reading.
"What do you mean by this transfer order?" Zhang Rui asked the two of them.
"Look at the meaning of this transfer order, is it to encircle us?" Wang Kaiyuan also didn't understand.
"Is it necessary to write this transfer order so clearly? Even the offensive lines of each army are written out?"
"I also find it strange. Look, the people from Yulin and Wuzhou are coming around to the west of us, the people from Yunfu and Zhaoqing are coming from the south of us, the people from Qingyuan are coming from the north of us, and the people from Guangzhou are coming from the east. . It looks good to encircle us. But do the transfer orders have to be written so clearly?" Zhang Rui expressed his doubts.
"Yes, if there is a reason to mobilize Wuzhou troops, just point out when and where they should arrive. How can you talk about the situation of other troops?" Wang Kaiyuan also agreed with Zhang Rui's doubts.
"It was strange when I copied it, but the transfer order that Feng Shoubei received was indeed written like this." Zhang Zhishan was helpless about the two people's doubts, but that's how it happened.
"Battle Commander Zhang, I don't mean to doubt you. But this order is really strange." Zhang Rui said to Zhang Zhishan
"Brother Six, you don't need to explain, I can understand. In fact, I don't understand this transfer order. Is it necessary to write it in such detail? It seems to be forcing us to take the initiative to fight." Zhang Zhishan expressed his opinion
"Well, Battalion Commander Zhang has hit the nail on the head. It seems that the person who wrote this transfer order knew that we would be able to see this transfer order, so he deliberately wrote it like this. It is to force us to fight. If we don't go to fight, they will really surround us when the time comes. We can't defend it either." Wang Kaiyuan immediately thought about it after hearing Zhang Zhishan's words.
"Well, it seems that the other party regards me as more important than Zhilian Mountain." Zhang Rui also understood.
"That's true. He was just afraid that you, Sixth Brother, would give up Zhilian Mountain and run away. So he used the people of Zhilian Mountain as threats to force Sixth Brother to fight." Wang Kaiyuan said what he thought
"Hey, it seems that some guy is looking for death. If he dares to fight with us, we don't know whether he will live or die." Zhang Zhishan, who was well aware of the fighting power of the Qing Dynasty, said with great disdain towards the opponent.
Especially after the previous two battles, our side almost won with zero casualties, which gave Zhang Zhishan superstitious confidence.
"That's not it. An army that can defeat us in the field has not yet appeared. But since the other party dares to set up such a trap, it shows that he is confident. Maybe he has already set up an ambush and is waiting for us." Wang Kaiyuan agreed with Zhang Zhishan, but He also expressed his concerns.
"There must be an ambush. I didn't expect that I always ambush others. Now someone else wants to ambush me, and I can't even fight if I don't want to." Zhang Rui said with some irony, and suddenly thought of this sentence in his heart:
"Those who came out to fool around will have to pay back one day."
"We all don't have to worry. Doesn't he want my Zhang Rui's life? It depends on whether he has the ability." Zhang Rui said domineeringly,
At the same time, Zhang Rui also said with contempt deep in his heart: "You want my life? Let you see what the power of knowledge is."
When the two heard Zhang Rui's words, they felt that Zhang Rui must have some good ideas. As a result, they seemed to have found their backbone in an instant.
"Yes, let them never come back." Zhang Zhishan also shouted loudly
"Battle Commander Zhang said it well, let them come and go without any return." Wang Kaiyuan immediately echoed.
…
dog tooth mountain
The mountains are thick with bushes and their green leaves remain unchanged.
The pine trees are still green and the mountain breeze is blowing. From time to time a few pine cones fall from the swaying branches. When the wind passes by the needles, it brings out bursts of "hissing" sounds, which is soothing to hear.
At this time, among Zhang Rui's troops from Guangzhou led by Li Shiyao, Yang Yingju and Sitku also followed.
"Do you think this encirclement and suppression of Zhang Rui can be successful?" Yang Yingju asked Sitku worriedly for some unknown reason.
