Li Zhang also served as the battalion commander of the Musket Battalion. Although he didn't care about the matter at all, Hu Yan Shouxin was responsible for all the training in the battalion, he was still in charge of the Musket Battalion in name only. However, he did not plan to go to the Musket Battalion this time. First of all, he was too young and he didn't know how to fight the two of them, so he couldn't help much even if he went there. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Zhang was an ordinary person and had a natural fear of the battlefield. After all, who would really not be afraid of death?

However, what Li Zhang never expected was that Liu E's original words were to let the musket battalion go to the frontier. Wasn't this even included him? At the beginning, he even felt that Liu E was joking.

"What, don't you want to go?" Liu E looked at Li Zhang with a squint eyes and said. This sentence completely shattered Li Zhang's only remaining hope. It seems that Liu E actually wanted to send him to the border.

"This..." Li Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said with a bitter face, "Your Madam, it's not that I don't want to go, but I don't seem to be helping me if I go. Instead, it may become a drag on Hu Yan Shuixin and others, so..."

Before Li Zhang finished speaking, Liu E interrupted him and said, "I am not so confused that I asked you to go to the battlefield. But muskets are of great importance. I am not at ease to just let Hu Yan Shouxin take people there. You can go with you this time, but you don't have to go to the battlefield. Cao Wei is also there. You can join the army under him and be in charge of the logistics dispatch of the musket battalion!"

Hearing that Liu E had even arranged her official position, Li Zhang immediately showed an aggrieved expression and muttered: "I am still a child..."

"What kid? You are already fourteen this year, and you are fifteen years old. You are already an adult. This time you go to Huanqing Road to practice and you will become a weapon in the future!" Before Li Zhang finished speaking, Liu E interrupted him again.

Li Zhang was shocked again when he heard this. He calculated the time and found that as Liu E said, he would be fifteen years old when he celebrated another birthday. According to the view of the Song Dynasty, he was indeed an adult. Of course, even if he was an adult, it would be too rare to join the border army at such a young age.

"Time flies so fast!" Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh. He was still a child when he traveled through time. For this reason, he deliberately made himself psychologically disguised as a child, but he didn't expect that two or three years had passed in the blink of an eye, and he was about to have an adult identity.

"Yes, time passes so quickly. You and Zhen'er are growing up day by day, and I am getting older day by day. In the future, you brothers will need to protect this country!" Liu E also said with some emotion at this time. When she said this, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the fine lines at the corner of her eyes.

At this time, Li Zhang suddenly realized that when he first met Liu E, although the other party was over fifty years old, because of his natural beauty and proper maintenance, he looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. However, in just two or three years, Liu E had experienced the pain of losing her husband and had to work hard for national affairs and family affairs. Her whole body seemed to have become much older. Not only did she have many fine lines on her face, but she even had a lot of white hair on her sideburns.

"Master, I..."

Li Zhang originally wanted to say something, but Liu E interrupted him again and said, "This matter is decided so. Go back and prepare. You can go with the army to Huanqing Road in a few days. But you don't have to worry. As long as you can prove that the muskets are effective on the battlefield, you can come back. After all, I and Zhen'er cannot do without you."

It was said that, but Li Zhang couldn't agree, so he had no choice but to nod. He had to nod and agreed. Anyway, he just worked as a civil servant on Huanqing Road and didn't have to go to the battlefield at all. The reason why Huanqing Road is called Huanqing Road is because its center is Qingzhou, and you might even see Jinshan when you get there.

In addition, Qingzhou is close to the territory of the Dangxiang people. In fact, the largest border trouble in the northwest is the only one in the Tubo people. Moreover, compared with the decline of Tubo, the Dangxiang people's power is getting stronger and stronger. This is also the thing that Li Zhang has always been most worried about. This time he went to Qingzhou, he could also observe the situation of the Dangxiang people up close, and maybe even see Li Yuanhao, because it is said that when Li Yuanhao was young, he liked to go to the border market established by the Song Dynasty.

Seeing Li Zhang agreeing, Liu E suddenly sighed, then waved to let Li Zhang come to him, then took out a jade talisman from his arms and put it on him, "This is the talisman that I asked Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain to make by himself. Although you are a civil servant on Huanqing Road this time, it is still too chaotic there. You must be careful to protect yourself and never take risks!"

When Liu E said the above words, her face also showed great kindness. Now she is no longer the power-oriented Empress Dowager Liu, but an ordinary elder's advice to her younger generation.

Li Zhang was also quite moved when he heard this. He stroked the jade talisman with body temperature on his neck, and saluted Liu E again and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention!"

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Liu E immediately patted his shoulder, and looked at Li Zhang with a complex look. After Zhao Heng passed away, Liu E had almost no relatives in this world. Liu Mei was her brother-in-law, Zhao Zhen's son was also fake, and Li Zhang's nephew was of course fake, but compared to others, Li Zhang was more popular with her. This kind of love was even more than Zhao Zhen to some extent, because she sometimes had to guard against Zhao Zhen's seizure of power, but Li Zhang did not have this worry.

"Let's go, a man is determined to be in all directions. Only by going to the battlefield can he understand the difficulty of defending his country. In the future, the Song Dynasty also needs talents like you!" Liu E finally waved her hand and said again. Although she was very reluctant, she could not always tie Li Zhang around her. Only by experience can men truly grow up.

"Yes!" Li Zhang agreed immediately, and was about to leave the hall, but at this moment he suddenly thought that there was another thing he had when he came to see Liu E, so he stopped the trail immediately, "Grandma, I have one more thing I want to report!"

"What's the matter?" Liu E also sat on the back desk at this time, but her expression became a little tired.

"The musket workshop is just supplying muskets to the musket battalion, and there is already a shortage of iron. I have prepared some things for this and specially presented them to the court!" Li Zhang said as he took out a sorted information from his arms and then presented it to Liu E respectfully.
