There is no doubt that this practice can arouse the combat enthusiasm of the officers and men to the greatest extent. But there is no doubt that it violates the taboo and dignity of the emperor. Rewarding soldiers has always been a special function of the imperial court and the emperor. The leading generals and the soldiers under his command mingled, and the emperor would not have an opinion. But if the generals and soldiers become a community of interests, then the emperor's face is not very good-looking. The reward came from the emperor, but it became from the generals, that is arrogance. This crime is to be blamed by the Yi people.

Although Chen Sheng was bold, he did not dare to act rashly. He had carefully studied the laws of the Empire. It was found that the law stipulated that anyone could cultivate the land without an owner, and as long as they paid taxes to the government, that land was the private land of the cultivator. In view of this, Chen Sheng has relative confidence. And before going on the expedition, he also wrote to the court in advance, explaining the situation in advance. It is said that the new army in central Fujian has low combat effectiveness, and it needs to boost morale. So he might distribute the loot to his warrior Yunyun.

This recital conveys back to Xianyang, and there is no wind and waves at all. When did the leading generals of the imperial court not divide the spoils of war privately, or detain them privately? It's hard to fight outside, and it's normal to make some extra money, and the court turns a blind eye to this. It's just that it's all going on under the table. It has always been that the following does not mention it, and the above does not say it. Only a stunned young man like Chen Sheng, who was first led to a battle, would come up with this kind of joke.

However, it is said that the emperor who got Chen Sheng's medal, after reading it, smiled heartily and said to himself: "This kid is interesting, at a young age, he knows that he can do things without leaking."

It's one thing for the emperor to turn a blind eye and not care about the generals' petty arrogance, but it's another thing for the generals to report this matter to the emperor or not. Although Chen Sheng's move seemed a little reckless, the little pimple in the emperor's heart disappeared without a trace, and when he chatted with Master Wei Yi in private, he praised Chen Sheng.

……

The army of Minzhong County suddenly appeared, defeated Luo Weihu, forced Xiong Qi back, and at the same time blocked Meng Heilong's army on the opposite bank. Such a record was enough to change the war situation in the entire Lingnan.

In the face of such a failure, Meng Heilong was naturally not reconciled. In order to redeem the defeat, he kept sending signals to let Xiong Qi, who couldn't shrink, out of the camp to fight. But Xiong Qi was frightened by Li Zuoche's cavalry assault that night, and sent a message saying that the previous war was greatly damaged and he was unable to fight back against Yunyun, and hoped that the Jiangbei army would quickly cross the river to relieve him from the plight of his camp being besieged.

In order to be able to recover the defeat as soon as possible, Meng Heilong also made a lot of arrangements.

He personally led the remnants of 2,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops to make a detour downstream, looking for a suitable place to cross the river, preparing to teach Chen Sheng a profound lesson. At the same time, an army of 30,000 people, under the leadership of Haifeng, quietly advanced to the upper reaches of the Meijiang River. Prepare to form a sandwich with Meng Heilong, trying to wipe out this rampant Qin army in one fell swoop.

In order to hide people's eyes. On the site of the original pontoon bridge, the craftsmen of Longchuan Castle also began to repair the pontoon bridge. However, progress has been slow.

For Longchuan City's every move, Chen Sheng controlled it clearly through the Black Water Pavilion. The arrangement was also made accordingly.

Chen Sheng organized more than 10,000 captives. A team of 5,000 men was selected from this and formed a new army cantonment. On the surface, the commander of the new tun was also selected from the surrendered army, but in fact he was a spy of the Black Water Pavilion who infiltrated South Vietnam. The rest of the captives were all formed into an engineer regiment by Chen Sheng, that is, hard labor. After a few days of hard work by thousands of soldiers, a simple earthen city appeared on the riverside, far away from Longchuan City on the opposite bank. But wounded soldiers are a big problem.

Although it is close to October, the Lingnan area is still very hot. Many of the soldiers who surrendered had festering wounds, were not properly treated, and had extremely high mortality rates. For this reason, in order to treat the wounded and sick, Chen Sheng personally went out to treat the seriously injured in his spare time. Although this move was difficult to treat many patients, it moved many of the surrendered troops. The tense atmosphere in the barracks was also much more relaxed. Finding that his energy was limited, and at the same time he found that the doctors and medical skills of the army were low, and the wounded were easily turned into serious injuries if they were lightly injured, and serious injuries could kill at any time, Chen Sheng realized that he should train and train a medical team to deal with the increasingly tragic war situation.

Just do what you say. Chen Sheng passed the order and asked each ministry to select a group of bold and careful young soldiers. Learn medical skills from him for an hour every day, and when he can't spare time, Lingzhu'er will do it for him. Ling Zhu'er is extremely bold, and she never leaves Chen Sheng, and she is familiar with some relatively simple medical methods.

After simple training, although the standard of treatment of these "military doctors" is not high, at least they pay attention to hygiene and disinfection when dealing with patients' wounds, and the phenomenon of wound infection has been greatly reduced. The mortality rate has dropped significantly, and Chen Sheng is very pleased with such an achievement. It's just that the soldiers who died of tetanus infection due to wounds, Chen Sheng was a little powerless. As a county guard and a leading general, he really can't find time to delve into how to develop antibiotics in this era. However, Chen Sheng held the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and told a few apprentices with a particularly high level of medical understanding about the method of cultivating antibiotics, and let them think about it by themselves to see if they could think of a solution. If he can't, he will try it himself when he has free time in the future......

Five days of calm. Three days ago, Meng Heilong left the camp with the army while it was dark, but Meng Heilong was really patient, and when he made a detour downstream, he was able to resist the temptation of attacking Chen Sheng's garrison at close range, and continued to go south along the river, avoiding several ambushes in Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng also appreciated Meng Heilong's performance. This at least shows that although Meng Heilong's angry army was defeated by Chen Sheng, when he was marching and fighting, he knew a lot about strategy and knew where Chen Sheng would set up an ambush, so he was resolutely not fooled, and would rather take more detours.

Of course, Chen Sheng knew better that Meng Heilong's performance was so calm, it was because Meng Heilong believed that as long as his iron cavalry successfully crossed the river, he could crush Chen Sheng's army to pieces. That's why there is so much patience.

"My lord, Meng Heilong has traveled three hundred miles to the south and has stayed in the Jinpudu area for two days. There is no sign of going back, and in the Jinpudu area, the vast collection of boats and the construction of timber and boats, will it be that they want to cross the river from there? Will the fortifications we have built upstream be scrapped? Li Zuoche looked a little worried.
