Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

As he walked out of the house, Jiayu took out a telescope and said, "Huh," and quickly covered his mouth for fear of making a sound. What he could see was too far away. He looked around and occasionally saw the guards. There was also a blurry shadow, but he couldn't see it clearly. He looked in the mirror and put it on again. He still couldn't see clearly. He took it off and handed it to Sun Quan. Sun Quan put it on and looked back and forth. The fourth brother pointed to a place and said to him, "Look carefully! Can you see anything?" Sun Quan looked and couldn't see clearly. "Go closer and look," the three of them were cautious, but they didn't see the guards. Walking forward slowly, the fourth brother took the telescope and put it on. Walking towards the shadow, he came behind the shadow and whispered, "It's different from what we wear, and it's different from what the soldiers here wear. It's hard to say what's not harmonious." The fourth brother put on the telescope and saw clearly. This direction is the direction they are unloading food tonight. Why are they acting so sneaky? The fourth brother whispered, "Quan, go find the general or auntie, go quickly!" Sun Quan left quickly when he heard something was wrong. Ah Jing also stared at the front. The two men quietly followed the man. When he turned a corner and disappeared from sight, the two men quickened their pace and walked sideways along the wall. After turning the corner, "Oh no," "Ajing, look!" "He's going to..." Before he could finish, Lao Si swung out a dagger. "Quick, someone come, someone come!" Lao Si shouted. Ajing kicked the man down with a flying kick, but the fire started. Lao Si took off his clothes to put out the fire, but the oil couldn't put it out. The angry Lao Si grabbed the bad guy, threw him on the fire, and dragged him away. "Hey, it works." Lao Si dragged the bad guy around on the fire. This was the scene everyone saw when they arrived. Ajing went to get soil to put out the fire! Soon the fire was out. The general asked Zhao Hu to lead a team of soldiers on patrol. "Watch carefully!" The bad guy was not dead, so General Ma ordered people to interrogate him overnight.

Then he said to the fourth brother, "Thank you, little brother." "You have made a great military achievement!" General Ma patted the fourth brother on the shoulder. The fourth brother chuckled and said, "I just wanted to go out and play, and I came across this by chance. I just thought it was fun." The fourth brother took off the telescope and handed it to General Ma, "Try it on." General Ma put it on his eyes, "This! This! He looked around, everything around him seemed to be in front of him, looking into the distance, he could see clearly from a long distance, he saw the soldiers standing guard, some straight, some crooked. He had a calculation in his mind. It would be strange if he didn't lose the battle. Even the city gate was clearly visible. There were few people on the city. The general wanted to go out immediately, and said as he walked, "Can you give me this?" The fourth brother said, "Auntie has it, go get it! I want to use this too!" "Oh, okay. You go back and rest, I'll let you go to the military exercise tomorrow." He returned the telescope to the fourth brother and left in a hurry.

The fourth brother returned to the house and said to Sun Quan, "Let's not go out to play anymore, let's go to sleep!

General Ma returned to his tent and summoned his military advisor, Zhong Jing, to discuss the army's reorganization and address its current problems. First, arrange for Adjutant Rong Qi to replace the soldiers patrolling the city walls tonight. You will personally deliver them to the Grand Council for interrogation! Also, arrange for a drill tomorrow morning. Issue orders with swift and decisive action...

At the hour of Yin, the first drumbeat sounded, and a soldier called out, "Fourth Brother Jia Yu and Sun Quan, get up quickly." Washing and dressing, the brothers from the escort agency all arose, washed and dressed, and followed the soldier. Ten minutes after leaving the general's mansion, they arrived at an open field, where they saw pairs of neatly arranged soldiers stretching as far as the eye could see.

The second drum blast marked the start of roll call, which took a full half hour until every captain had reported. A hundred thousand men. A soldier asked everyone to wait and ran to the central reviewing platform. "General, the grain delivery men have been brought outside and are waiting." General Ma glanced around the room and said, "Bring them to the reviewing platform." The fourth man smiled and exchanged a glance with Sun Quan. The twenty-one men formed a line and followed the soldier to the reviewing platform. The general ordered everyone to stand on the platform, forming a neat line. They were all nervous, but they gritted their teeth and stood in a straight line, chests puffed out.

The military flag fluttered on the platform. The third drum blast sounded, and the general raised the flag, signaling the start of the military drill. As the flags changed, so did the ranks. The drumbeats were rapid and passionate, and the soldiers, with their blood boiling, marched and ran with powerful strides, in an orderly fashion. The general handed the flag to his adjutant, and the troops separated for training. Ma Chong asked the fourth brother and the bodyguards, "What do you think after watching the military drill?" Sun Quan was the first to speak, "General, I want to join the army." Li Biaotou looked at his brothers, all excited, unsure how to respond. The fourth brother also wanted to try his hand at fighting, and accidentally blurted out his wish. Ma Chong said, "You can give it a try. Rong Qi, you arrange it." "Come on," the adjutant said. What's his name? Jiayu, Chai Jiayu. "Have you practiced before?" "No, just fighting and hunting." The adjutant explained that the army had both fighting and grappling techniques. "Wang Qi, come and try your luck with this guy." The fourth brother and Wang Qi squared off, exchanging punches and kicks. The general grinned, "Alright, this guy has some talent. Given time, his future is limitless! He's a promising prospect!" "Military advisor, find a way to keep him." "Yes." The adjutant replied, "Let Sun Quan try." "Okay," and Sun Quan joined in the fight. The escort leader looked at his brothers and said, "General, let these brothers of mine try, too." "Okay, the country needs men right now, and you have patriotism." Rongfuguan, make the arrangements. After the competition, each of the twenty-one men proved to be capable fighters and highly skilled in martial arts. Several of them were worthy of being generals. The general wanted to keep them all.

At noon, a grand banquet was held at the general's residence. The adjutant and the military advisor came to accompany them. Huo Ying personally cooked a few dishes and sat down. He said, "The grain this time was accumulated and purchased by the villagers of Taohua Village over the years. They worked hard to meet our urgent needs. Their contribution is beyond imagination, but considering that we are all ordinary people, we choose to keep a low profile, keep it in mind, and wait for an opportunity to ask for credit again. Let's use tea instead of wine, cheers!" Everyone ate a full and delicious lunch. The military advisor's witty words tempted the general, and he decided, "Go home and tell your families to bring your documents, which are now your household registrations. Then I will ask the butler Ma Ming to take you with him next time he comes." In the afternoon, Rong Qi, you take them around. "We will go back with Ma Ming tomorrow. Thank you all for your help! The general stood up and saluted solemnly!"

Let's not talk about it; they had a great time that afternoon. Adjutant Rong Qi of the Grand Council questioned each soldier on duty on the city wall last night about what happened. Each was given a thirty-stroke lashing of the military stick and was forbidden to do so again. The next time, they would be punished severely. They would only be allowed three days off. Rong Qi ordered the team leader to go get some medicine from the military doctor and apply it to everyone. With that, he walked out the gate and quickly headed to the central military tent to report the situation to the general.

At the central military tent, more than a dozen generals, military advisors, and logistics personnel had gathered to discuss how to strengthen the troops' discipline, ensuring strict adherence to it throughout the twelve hours of the day and ensuring they could be deployed at any time. Guards on the city walls would be made up of top-ranked soldiers. The military advisor noted down everyone's opinions and compiled them into a list of regulations. They would train the troops, especially the cavalry, for mounted combat. The infantry would also be trained and trained, requiring skilled personnel to be selected. The meeting lasted until the sun reached its zenith.

The general returned to the mansion, and Huo Ying brought him dinner, and the two of them ate together. Afterward, Huo Ying's maid, Meir, cleared the table and brought tea. Huo Ying said, "Meir, you go down and rest. I'll have the kitchen start cooking early tomorrow morning." "Yes, ma'am."

Huo Ying poured Ma Chong a cup of tea and took out two books from his clothes, one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems and the other of the Art of War, and handed them to the general. He also took out a telescope. The general took the telescope and walked out. Huo Ying grabbed him and said, "Listen to me first. General, sit down and read the book first." Ma Chong picked up the book of the Thirty-Six Stratagems and opened it to the first strategy, Escape from the Shell. The general couldn't stop reading and didn't hear what Huo Ying said. "Excellent, wonderful..." Huo Ying also picked up the "Art of War" to read. It took him past midnight to finish reading. He had to read more to understand it. Huo Ying said, "Take a break." Ma Chong looked at Huo Ying and said, "Madam, this book..." Before he could finish, Huo Ying said, "It was given to me by my benefactor. Don't ask too many questions." "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, madam. "The two took the book back to the bedroom to rest, and put the book under the pillow. They slept for more than an hour and then got up, washed and dressed, and went to the yard. Huo Ying went to the kitchen and asked the kitchen to bring the meal to the hall. The general brought Lao Si and others here to eat. During the meal, "I am grateful for your kindness." He took out one thousand taels of silver and gave each of them fifty taels. Don't think it's too little for the road. I hope you will report to the military camp as soon as possible! Everyone stood up and said together, "I will, General." Lao Si pulled the general up and said, "Let's find a deserted place." Ma Chong took Lao Si to the martial arts hall in the backyard. There was no one here. Lao Si put down his backpack, unzipped it, and took out his pistol. Lao Si aimed at the target and fired a shot. The bullet penetrated the target and disappeared. Lao Si and the general looked for it together and pulled out the bullet from the stone wall two kilometers away. "Shoot so far," the general said. Lao Si taught the general, "This is the safety. When shooting, turn on the safety and aim at the enemy and shoot. Of course, it is the head and the heart, which are fatal places. One shot will kill the enemy. "The gun can be loaded with five bullets at a time, so there are ninety-nine left," the fourth brother said, giving all the bullets to the general to save his life. "General, try it." "Okay." The general aimed at a bird flying in the sky, and with a "bang" the bird fell. The fourth brother ran over, picked it up, and shot it right in the neck. The fourth brother looked at the general with starry eyes, admiring him! "I want to learn." "It's so accurate," Ma Chong said, "If you practice your accuracy, practice often, you can be like me." "Okay," the fourth brother asked the general to carry the gun with him. "Don't leave your gun alone. Take some bullets with you, and put the rest away." He also gave the general a gas mask. "As for the medicine we brought this time, keep it for yourself. Ask someone reliable to keep it. You can also take some with you in case of emergency. We're going to take it back." They returned to the front hall, everyone finished their meal and took their packages. Sixteen carriages were pulled out, and everyone got in. Huo Ying took out the prepared dry food and handed it to everyone. The kettle was filled with water. "Let's go," the escort leader shouted. "See you later!" "See you later!"

Shortly after setting off, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves from behind. Everyone frightened and drew their swords. Then, a voice called out, "Brother Jiayu, wait a moment! Hush!" The carriage stopped. A familiar soldier rode up, dismounted, untied the bag on his back, and said, "Here are the arrows and bows the general gave you." The fourth brother jumped off the carriage and handed each of them a bow and arrows. "Thanks, brothers. See you later." "Okay, okay." Sun Quan, you drive the carriage while I practice archery. "Okay." The fourth brother took aim and, with a swish, fired an arrow into a tree. He jumped off the carriage to retrieve the arrow, then aimed at the sky, watching for birds flying by. He lost his arrow, and the bird was still missing. "Brother Escort, what if we run out of arrows?" "Learn to make them yourself." Along the way, the fourth brother made bamboo arrows and practiced archery. Everyone else followed suit: the driver drove, the maker made, and the archer practiced. After twenty days of traveling and resting at night, they finally returned. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the county town after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Zhang Qingshan treated everyone to a hearty meal, and each member of the escort agency received five taels of silver as a reward. Serving the country is commendable. The escort agency drove the carriage back. Lao Si and Sun Quan also said goodbye to Zhang Qingshan and returned to the village. The county magistrate brought a lantern and told the two to have a safe journey.
