Chapter 2040 How to deal with it

Chen Sheng was very satisfied with the reaction of the soldiers, and then reported the achievements of the Tiger Brigade and the Blood Lion Army, these records were also compared with the records of other armies, there were too many victories, in the face of such facts, those disgruntled soldiers could only admit it.

In the end, Chen Sheng said: "The warriors of my Great Qin Minzhong County, who have made a certain number of achievements, can apply to join the above three battalions!" If the legion fights illustriously, after accumulating a certain degree of combat exploits, it will be the same as a mighty army! Everyone, fight your way! ”

Chen Sheng's words completely aroused the soldiers' thoughts of bravely killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions. Generals wanted canonization and honor, and soldiers wanted more rewards and payouts. For a time, the military camp was full of fighting spirit, and many legion generals who had not been canonized kept rolling in front of Chen Sheng's tent with their brows on their faces, hoping to receive the combat orders issued by Chen Sheng. However, for the next month or so, Chen Sheng did not seem to have any intention of launching an attack. However, the scale of Triumph City is getting bigger and more majestic, and it is even bigger than Longchuan City on the other side.

It's not that Chen Sheng is unwilling to fight, but that there are no conditions for fighting.

The capture of Mon Hei Long did not bring a devastating blow to South Vietnam. His son, Meng Qingshan, was supported by all ethnic groups in South Vietnam, and quickly returned to Longchuan City and established himself as king. When Haifeng heard that Chen Sheng had defeated the main force of South Vietnam, Du suddenly lost the courage to find the Qin army to fight, and ran back in disgrace. Fortunately, the Qin army did not have time to pursue it, so Haifeng returned to Longchuan City unscathed.

Although Meng Qingshan is young, he is more proficient in military strategy than his father, and he can calm his breath better. He knew very well that the Qin army on the other side of the river was strong, so he did not take the initiative to provoke. Instead, fortifications were built along the river to block the Qin army's sneak attack across the river. According to his judgment, this road of the Qin army is lone and deep, and the grain and grass will inevitably be unsustainable, as long as the walls are clear and the footsteps of the Qin army are blocked from moving south, over time, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army on this road will inevitably decline, and there is no other way but to retreat. At this stage, it was time for the South Vietnamese counteroffensive. For this reason, Meng Qingshan even ordered to transfer 10,000 elite troops from Panyu City to Longchuan, preparing to have more confidence when he fought a decisive battle with the Qin army in the future.

Taking advantage of the time when Meng Qingshan was arranging his troops, Chen Sheng was not idle, first collected the prisoners captured from the battlefield and organized them into the engineer army, responsible for building the Triumphant City and roads. In addition, during this period, Chen Sheng's biggest victory was to force Xiong Qi to surrender without blood.

Surrounded by heavy earthen walls, there was no news of reinforcements for a long time, and Xiong Qi was desperate. Despite this, Xiong Qi didn't dare to surrender easily, but Li Zuoche came up with a way to put Meng Heilong outside Xiong Qi's camp and turned around, Xiong Qi's determination was established and he immediately opened the camp and surrendered. The king was captured by the enemy, and he, a courtier, resisted a fart. Besides, Xiong Qi is not the kind of person who is loyal to Meng Heilong, if he wasn't worried that after he led the clan soldiers to surrender, Meng Heilong would have poisoned his clan to vent his hatred, he would have surrendered a long time ago. The Qin army's non-offensive did not mean that it did not harass. Every day, a large amount of household garbage is thrown into the camp with catapults from outside the camp, and the garbage in the camp is piled up and the smell is so bad that many soldiers are infected with diseases. Xiong Qi hated this very much.

This was just one of the means of the Qin people. The most immoral thing was the noise attack of the Qin army, and at the beginning of each night, the Qin army would launch countless war drums, beating non-stop around the camp, and during the process, they also cooperated with the harassment of small troops. It made Xiong Qi and the soldiers very nervous. Difficulty sleeping. That's not all, in the middle of the night, the Qin army will also send military musicians to play mourning songs, so that the morale of the soldiers in the camp is almost broken. In this way, even if the Qin army did not attack, Xiong Qi and his clan soldiers would not be able to support it for long. So after seeing Meng Heilong captured, Xiong Qi simply broke the jar and surrendered. Fortunately, Chen Sheng did not embarrass them, and even the weapons were not confiscated, but they were just given a number and named "Nanyong Army". Of course, this name is far worse than the names of the Black Fox Battalion and the Tiger Brigade.

For Chen Sheng's arrangement, Xiong Qi had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Chen Sheng did not kill or humiliate the surrendered Southern Barbarian Army, compared to the Tu Ju who entered South Vietnam before, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth. Tu Ju likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, and if a village finds that one person resists the Qin army, he will slaughter the entire village in retaliation, because his atrocities have deepened the Qin army's southward march and made it more difficult. In order to show his trust in Xiong Qi, Chen Sheng only brought dozens of people to Xiong Qi's camp to accept the surrender, which made Xiong Qi even more admirable, and it was difficult for him to rebel for a while.

After solving Xiong Qi's trouble, Chen Sheng began to think about how to deal with Meng Heilong's big trouble. In view of Meng Heilong's special identity, Chen Sheng was extremely cautious in dealing with Meng Heilong. There are also different opinions in the military on this. For example, the dragon and the black scales of the dragon are suggested, beheading Meng Heilong for public display, and then hanging the corpse by the river to deter the South Vietnamese barbarians on the other side. This method of dealing with it is best suited to the minds of the generals in the army who are asking for battle every day. The call is also the highest. However, Chen Sheng knew that killing Meng Heilong could only be done quickly, not only could not play a role in deterring the enemy, but would stimulate the enemy's hatred, and this trip must not be.

Li Zuoche thought of more. As the enemy chieftain of Meng Heilong, Chen Sheng captured him, and if he escorted Meng Heilong back to Xianyang, the emperor would definitely be happy. You must know that since the southern expedition, Meng Heilong has been one of the main reasons for the Qin army to go south, and now that the living Meng Heilong is sent to the emperor, the emperor's favor to Chen Sheng will inevitably be even greater. Therefore, he strongly advocated that Meng Heilong be taken back to Xianyang as a prisoner.

But Chen Sheng has another layer of consideration. Going south to fight, Chen Sheng only had one determination, that is, to end the war in Lingnan as soon as possible, so that Daqin, a war machine that had been fighting for decades, could rest and recuperate, and give the people a way to live. But sending Meng Heilong to Xianyang obviously didn't have this effect.

Now Meng Qingshan, the son of Meng Heilong, has taken over the throne. Sending Meng Heilong to Xianyang will have little effect on the war. But Chen Sheng knew very well that if Meng Heilong was left behind, or even sent back, it would play a big role.

The throne means power. A new king is not just as simple as one person taking over the throne, but also the gains and losses of vested interests when power changes.
