Under Chen Sheng's deliberate arrangement, Meng Heilong left Triumph City safely, and arrived at the garrison camp of Haifeng, who was still loyal to him, in a very fast time. From the analysis of the intelligence secretly sent back by Tian Peng, Meng Heilong's return made Haifeng and other old nobles of Nanyue extremely excited, and now Meng Heilong is quietly contacting the old department, preparing to kick his son Meng Qingshan off his throne in one fell swoop, and then regain his strength and clean up the mountains and rivers of Nanyue.

Meng Qingshan also seemed to smell something unusual. Therefore, he tightened control over those generals who did not obey the call, and at the same time sent envoys to prepare for peace with the Qin army. The terms of the peace negotiation were more generous than those offered in the past, but Chen Sheng refused without hesitation. He knew very well that on the Lingnan battlefield, it was the commander-in-chief Ren Huan who had the right to speak, not him, a small county guard from Minzhong County. Moreover, Chen Sheng understood the emperor's mind very well, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to march south, not just to make Lingnan Baiyue submit. What the emperor wanted was to return all the territory of Lingnan to the territory of Great Qin. Therefore, the so-called negotiations simply do not have any basis for negotiation.

Chen Sheng is now just waiting for Meng Heilong's sudden attack to regain power, and then, not only the chaos in Longchuan City, but also the entire land of South Vietnam will fall into a chaotic civil war, and when both sides are defeated, the Qin army will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

November is just around the corner. The weather is getting cooler. Although there are Qinling Mountains in Lingnan to shield the cold air from the south, the temperature is gradually dropping, and the food and salary of tens of thousands of people are all things that Chen Sheng must worry about. Fortunately, the sea passage was unimpeded, and the delivery capacity of the Ling family's fleet was strong and powerful, and a large amount of grain and grass materials were transported to Triumph City through the passage repaired by the sappers, ensuring that after the winter, the soldiers would not be hungry and cold.

After waiting for several months, Ji Bu also returned from Surabaya and came to the Lingnan front.

The news that Ji Bu brought to Chen Sheng was not too bad overall. At the beginning, he was ordered by Chen Sheng to invite Liu Ji, Xiao He and others to come to Fujian to serve. Chen Sheng has always remembered this matter.

After Ji Bu arrived in Pei County, he still went to visit the list provided by Chen Sheng one by one, but except for Zhou Chang, the county governor of Pei County, the rest of the people were not very interested.

Liu Ji heard that Chen Sheng sent someone to send gifts, he was so excited and excited for a while, he, the pavilion chief, was so poor that it was rare for someone to help him. However, when he heard that Chen Sheng wanted to invite him to Minzhong County, he hesitated. After careful investigation, Ji Bu figured out that Liu Ji recently hooked up with a widow, and the two lived together for more than half a year, which caused controversy. This is not the point, the point is that this widow has been pregnant with Liu Ji's seed for nearly half a year, and her belly is very high, although Liu Ji is greedy for money and lustful, but she still has some friendship for this widow and is unwilling to leave at this time. According to the strategy formulated by Chen Sheng before, Ji Bu generously gave the conditions to let the two go to Fujian together, Chen Sheng would naturally settle the two of them, Liu Ji was moved, but considering that pregnant women should not go far away, he made an appointment with Ji Bu and said that he would go to Fujian when the child was born.

Liu Ji's statement is still acceptable to Ji Bu. But Xiao He made Ji Bu sulk. Because Xiao Fei was determined, he just didn't want to leave Pei County.

It turned out that Xiao He had an old mother to support. Xiao Fei is a dutiful son, with the intention that his parents are there and will not travel far, he will be a small official in the county, and he can receive a meager amount of money to send his adoptive mother to the end, and he is not greedy for wealth and wealth.

However, Ji Bu was not dead-eyed, he saw that he could not persuade Xiao He, so he took the route of "saving the country with a curve" and went to do the work of Xiao He's mother. The sensible old lady naturally hopes that her son will get ahead one day. Ji Bu said it again, and the old lady naturally obeyed Ji Bu's suggestion and offered to ask Xiao He to follow Ji Bu to Fujian and make a career.

Xiao He refused in every way, so the old lady picked up the crutches and asked Xiao He to kneel down and teach: "The Xiao family has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are just small officials. How can you serve your mother to make a career? ”

Xiao He was taught a lesson by his mother, and finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying that he was willing to go to Minzhong County with Ji Bu, but he didn't want to part with his widowed mother. Ji Bu also made more arrangements for this, borrowed a comfortable cart from the Ling family, and took Xiao's mother to Minzhong County together.

Fan Xu is reluctant to leave the dog meat shop he has operated for many years. He said to Ji Bu aggressively: "I can only kill dogs and cook meat, Chen Sheng shouldn't need me, my uncle Fan has already caused him too much trouble, how can I still make trouble for adults?" ”

Ji Bu had no choice but to leave a thick gift and return to Minzhong County with Xiao He, Zhou Chang and others.

Under Ying Huo's rule, Minzhong County was in order. And after Xiao He arrived, according to Chen Sheng's arrangement, he became Ying Huo's right and left hand. Ying Huo had no opinion on this, and generously gave Xiao He administrative power and was in charge of the daily government affairs of Fujian. Subsequently, Ji Bu couldn't wait to take Zhou Chang to Lingnan.

Although Zhou Chang's mouth is not very sharp, like Ji Bu, he has a restless heart. So when Ji Bu found him and said that the adults were fighting at the front, and hoped that Zhou Chang could go to the front line to march and fight together, he immediately couldn't hold it back, and even said yes. The good county lieutenants didn't do it.

After listening to Ji Bu introduce what happened in Pei County one by one, Chen Sheng sighed. It is a big pity that Fan Hao and Liu Ji were not able to come to Fujian. However, being able to pull a potential stock like Xiao He to his side is already a great achievement. Chen Sheng wrote a letter and sent it to Ling Suyun, asking her to arrange manpower to take care of Liu Ji and his family, and after Liu Ji and the widow's son were born, he arranged manpower to bring people to Minzhong County, so that Ying Huo could arrange an easy official position.

After Ji Bu finished talking about the experience, he looked at Chen Sheng with a blank eye, rubbing his hands non-stop, he sneered: "My lord, although I am not good enough at this errand, but you said that when I come to Lingnan, you will arrange for me to fight...... "The brothers in the Black Fox camp, many of them are Ji Bu's former younger brothers, from their mouths, Ji Bu learned that in the days of his absence, they have won many battles and received many rewards.

Chen Sheng looked at Ji Bu, with a wicked smile on his face, and said after a while: "Bu, I have already thought about your military position, put you into the Southern Yong Army as a political commissar, work hard, and lead this army well, and turn it into a team that can fight, dare to fight, and win battles, do you have confidence?" ”
