Taking advantage of this period of truce, Chen Sheng was not willing to nest in the camp for the winter. He wanted to go outside. So he settled everything in the barracks, leaving Li Zuoche to be in charge of the daily affairs in the barracks, and he took Lingzhuer and Fan Yuan, plus more than ten soldiers from the Black Fox Battalion, under the banner of inspecting the camp of the Tiger Brigade, and advanced in the direction of Panyu.

The Tiger Brigade was an important force arranged by Chen Sheng to attack Panyu City, but because the war between Meng Heilong and Meng Qingshan had not started for a long time, they were forced to advance halfway through, pause, and camp to wait for orders.

In fact, Chen Sheng did not really inspect the camp of the Tiger Brigade. He just wanted to see what kind of light Panyu City was. Anyway, in the camp, idle is idle. If Li Zuoche learned of Chen Sheng's intentions, he would definitely do his best to dissuade Chen Sheng's risky behavior.

Panyu is nearly 800 miles away from Chen Sheng's station, and if you go over the mountains and mountains, it is impossible to reach it in ten days and half a month. But Chen Sheng was bold enough to let Heishui Pavilion disguise his identity for him, and as an officer of South Vietnam, he calmly advanced along the avenue, all the way south from the direction of Longchuan City, and advanced along the official road, although the official road of South Vietnam was dilapidated and closed by heavy snow, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, but Chen Sheng and the others did not mind.

Thousands of mountains and snow are blocked, and thousands of people are wiped out. Due to the years of war, South Vietnam, which was already barbaric and backward, appeared even more desolate. Passing through many villages, you will often see the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, men cursing, women and children crying in the village. This was an incident created by the South Vietnamese officials in the army of Lazhuang Dinh. These small villages could not resist the pressure of the South Vietnamese court like Xiong Qi's large tribes, so they only formed a subordinate relationship with the court. Listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, but still maintain a certain degree of independence. These small villages were the cornerstone of imperial rule and the most oppressed part of the Yue people.

Chen Sheng couldn't see these phenomena very much, but in fact, he knew better than anyone else that the current situation in South Vietnam was completely arranged by him. When he designed to let Meng Heilong leave, it was to create a split in South Vietnam, so that it would be busy with the civil war, so that the Qin army could reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now South Vietnam is tired of civil war and needs a large amount of combat force and military supplies. All these costs will eventually be transferred to the heads of every Vietnamese in South Vietnam.

So along the way, Chen Sheng became very silent. Calm on the surface, he thought of more. The situation of the Great Qin Empire is not necessarily much stronger than that of Southern Vietnam. The imperial court is now building a large number of buildings in Xianyang, building palaces and royal tombs. In the east and north, they built galloping roads and straight roads to fight against the Hu people in the grassland, and stationed 500,000 troops in the south and west to attack Lingnan. The final cost of these vast projects and battles will be borne by the people of Great Qin. What a cost it would be! Chen Sheng shook his head, and had a more urgent desire to end the war in Lingnan.

But Chen Sheng knew better in his heart that the war in Lingnan was just one of the reasons for the consumption of Great Qin's national strength. It is far from enough to just stop the war in the south, but how can other things be controlled by him as a small deputy general of the Southern Expedition and the county guard of one of the most barren counties of the Great Qin Empire?

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and urged the horses to gallop towards Panyu City. The trees on both sides of the road quickly flew backwards. Chen Sheng also began to wonder in his heart, how could he enter the power center of the Great Qin Empire, exert greater strength for this huge empire that was gradually moving towards the quagmire, and bring it back to the right path? Thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt powerless again. He was already the youngest county guard and one of the youngest high-ranking officials in the Great Qin Empire. Coupled with the grace of a teacher like Wei Yu and the emperor, there will inevitably be more ways to be promoted, but if he wants to enter the top circle of the three princes and nine kings of the imperial court, he has to stay up for one or two decades just to get the qualifications, and he has to be very lucky to get the position he wants. Otherwise, if he is put in a position of high power, he will have nothing to do.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Chen Sheng thought to himself: "I must let the emperor know that I have the ability to do this, and I have to write to the emperor often in the future!" Chen Sheng made a decision in his heart with the idea of being familiar. This decision later set a record in the Great Qin Empire: the Qin State official who gave the most tributes to Qin Shi Huangdi! It is also the record holder with the highest adoption rate of the emperor.

However, the history books of later generations are also controversial, and the emperor died violently in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is directly related to Chen Sheng. Because he created a precedent for the emperor to write to the emperor, and the courtiers of the whole country followed suit, the emperor's workload suddenly increased several times, so he was overworked and died prematurely.

At the end of the road is Panyu City. Along the way, because of the need to draw maps, so stop and go, delayed a lot of time, after arriving in Panyu, it was already seven days later. Chen Sheng did not have any special intention when he came to Panyu City, but simply wanted to see the ancient city of Panyu, which was difficult for archaeologists to find arguments for in later generations.

However, after seeing the scale of Panyu City, Chen Sheng knew why it was difficult to find the ruins of Panyu City. Because Panyu City is too small. The entire Panyu City is less than one-third the size of Dongye City, and the city walls are basically made of adobe, Chen Sheng is very skeptical that there is a foundation for the city wall. If an army were to attack, perhaps such a wall would fall down as soon as it was pushed.

There were only 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Panyu City, of which 5,000 were soldiers. The rest of the people, except for the families of some of the generals and officials of the South Vietnamese royal court, were all engaged in handicrafts and commerce, and a few merchants from the Central Plains. Meng Heilong is also an enlightened king, and he did not exploit these craftsmen and merchants excessively in Panyu City, but systematically supported these pitiful but essential industries in South Vietnam, so the practitioners living in it were relatively wealthy, and even some occupations did not need to serve in the military.

Meng Heilong and Meng Qingshan have turned against each other, and both sides have spared no effort to win over their supporters. Most regions will have forces that support one side or the other, or both in the same area. But Panyu City's reaction was the most bizarre. Meng Heilong's former capital was originally the region with the strongest sphere of influence, but the people who supported him were the least. There is no other reason, the legions left behind in Panyu City are all relatives of the emperor, Meng Heilong does not care much about his uncles and brothers, except for the dead Meng Jiao, the rest cannot be reused. So these people hold grudges. As soon as Meng Qingshan came to power, he rewarded and made wishes to these royal relatives and nobles, which made everyone feel very comfortable, and there were naturally more people who recognized Meng Qingshan. Therefore, the nobles in Panyu City have become the backbone of the anti-Meng Heilong re-ascending to the throne.
