After the battle, the materials stored in the cave by the Baiyue people were also found, and the preliminary count found that there were many types of materials seized, but compared to the huge number of animal skins, the amount of grain was a little small, which made Lu Zhe, who was full of hope to seize food from the Baiyue tribe, feel disappointed.

In fact, Lu Zhe has always had a lack of understanding of the characteristics of the current social system, the Central Plains has a developed farming system in the environment of food shortages, Baiyue's habitat is basically mountains and forests not plains, where is there enough cultivated land to cultivate? Therefore, don't expect the Baiyue people to have much surplus food.

However, no one has systematically educated Lu Zhe about the current social system, and he does not have the opportunity to learn. Similar mistakes are expected to happen all the time before he has fully integrated into this era?

The rain did not stop because the fighting stopped, on the contrary, it fell a little heavier.

Fortunately, the Baiyue people had the habit of storing firewood before the rainy season, and the soldiers brought dry firewood to make a fire under the order of Lu Zhe, and white smoke began to rise from the chimney of the thatched house, and pots of ginger soup were slowly cooked in the boiling.

After marching in the forest for three days and after a fight, the soldiers received a bamboo tube of hot ginger soup and held it in the palm of their hands, waiting for the temperature to be suitable and drank it dry, feeling that the pores of the whole body were sweating outward, and the whole person was a lot more comfortable in an instant.

Lu Zhe didn't make them comfortable for too long, and he didn't waste time looking for other caves where the Baiyue people might be hiding, but instead sent people to replace the outer team. He then ordered his troops to be moved to camp outside the valley, to camp outside the valley for the night, and then return to Yiling tomorrow morning.

The reason why he gave up stationing in the valley with buildings was out of prudence, there were ready-made buildings in the valley that could shelter from the wind and rain, but it was too easy to be caught in the urn, and Lu Zhe didn't want to become the second army to be annihilated in the valley.

For the first time, the tents that had been prepared in advance were put to use, and after clearing the open space, gray tents were erected, and rice balls that had just been steamed in ginger soup were handed out as night fell.

The soldiers who were sheltering from the rain in the tents devoured some rancid rice balls, dragged their tired bodies and closed their eyes, and fell asleep for a while.

Except for the soldiers who had tasks, the rest of the soldiers were all asleep, but Lu Zhe, as the commander, could not rest, and he also had more responsibilities.

At this moment, Lu Zhe did not relax because of a victory, some lucky victories made him feel more and more unable to relax, and he was afraid that another Baiyue people would emerge in a corner of the forest.

While constantly sending his own soldiers to ascertain the condition of the outer patrols, he took the guards to patrol the temporary camp, and this patrol found that the expected situation was that some soldiers had symptoms of fever.

Marching in the rainy season will drag down people's bodies and turn them into sub-healthy conditions, as long as there is one more trigger, it will definitely cause fever.

As early as during the march, many people were sick, but they were driven by a strong force, and after a battle, the victory relaxed their spirits, and sure enough, the illness became serious.

In this era, there is no good way to treat fever symptoms, Lu Zhe can only have people constantly boil ginger soup and send it, and then give the captured fur to the sick soldiers to cover and warm up, hoping that sweating can make the sick person better.

Lu Zhe ordered people to count in detail, and the number of sick soldiers was less than he imagined, and after finding out, he felt a little relieved.

It is also said that the human body creates a cycle over the years, which is called "anti-stress" in modern times. The more lazy you are, the more worried your health is, and the body that needs to work all the time will be healthier as long as it is not overloaded during exercise. This is both called life lies in motion.

People in this era need to work every day, and wet labor in the rainy season is even more common, but it is not the sub-healthy state of people who have almost no exercise in later generations. Recently, they had not starved under Lu Zhe's prior preparations, except for a few people who fell ill due to lack of experience, how could most of them get sick because of the rain?

Lu Zhe, who had a false alarm, was relieved when he saw that less than 100 people had fever symptoms, and he realized that the ancients were not as weak as they imagined. But think about it, if a single rain makes a large number of people sick, then it is estimated that human beings will not be able to develop modern times.

Patrolling the camp until late at night, Lu Zhe, who dragged his tired body, returned to the military tent, and he did not know that his series of actions were seen by the soldiers.

Soldiers in any era do not require too many of their commanders, and in the era of cold weapons, soldiers will think that the master of an army is a qualified commander as long as they are not hungry. If the commander is willing to shout and greet him in normal times, even if it is just hypocrisy, they will develop a love for the commander.

Now, Lu Zhe fully showed the behavior of treating his subordinates as siblings, which really moved the hearts of the soldiers.

After the night, when it was still dark, Lu Zhe woke up, and he walked out of the military tent to breathe in the excessively humid air, only to find that the rain had stopped.

Zhao Chong, who was waiting outside the military tent early, saw Lu Zhe come out and leaned over cautiously, and said, "Back to the military marquis, last night was normal." ”

Lu Zhe frowned, he arranged for Zhao Chong to be on duty last night just to give Zhao Chong a chance to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't expect this person to stay outside his military tent if he didn't go to patrol the camp, which was really unbearable.

Saying this is wronged Zhao Chong, he led the team to inspect the camp all night last night, estimating that Lu Zhe was about to wake up before coming over to wait.

Lu Zhe didn't say anything, and even ignored Zhao Chong, and called Su Qiao and said: "Send someone to inform the troops who are about to rotate out of Lu in the early morning, let them disperse directly and explore the road first." ”

Yes, don't get me wrong, there is no rotation system now, and any military brigade has its rotation system for perimeter patrols, and according to the current time, it is a batch every two quarters of an hour. The reason for this arrangement is very simple, it is to confirm the number of patrols, and if someone goes missing, it will cause vigilance, and the barracks will act accordingly.

Generally speaking, the same distance will always come faster when you go back than when you leave.

From the time they ordered the camp to return to Yiling, the army was a full day faster than when it arrived, and when they escorted the captives into the county seat with the booty, the people who had been looking forward to it cheered loudly.

When he returned to a safe place, the first thing Lu Zhe did was to arrange for the sick and injured soldiers to have a clean place to recuperate, and to add ginger soup to ward off the cold of the tired soldiers. Then, he began to order the subordinates to report the battle damage of this raid, and after layers of reporting and statistics, the final list was finally verified.

"Of the 5,000 men at the time of departure, 94 were missing, including non-battle damage, and 232 were killed in battle...... Not? This is not the final death figure, and there will be serious injuries and deaths later. ”

After returning to Yiling, excluding the number of killed, missing, and seriously wounded, 4,572 of the 5,000 men remained combat-ready.

Lu Zhe also didn't know whether it was cost-effective to pay one-tenth of the casualties, and he could only draw conclusions after looking at the heads of the Baiyue people, the number of prisoners, and the materials captured.
