The handsome figure with the word "tu" slowly fell down.

The clanging sound of weapons falling to the ground resounded on the battlefield...

Chen Sheng glanced at the huge battlefield. As far as he could see, all the Yangzhou Yellow Turban soldiers were prostrate on the ground, and no one dared to stand with their weapons in hand!

As if he suddenly realized something, fine goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body, rising up to his scalp one after another.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly!

He has already won this battle!

Seven thousand soldiers and horses came out of Chen County and defeated 150,000 Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army... He did it!

This journey has been so difficult!

Even now he is among tens of thousands of surrendered troops, looking back on this thousand-mile journey.

He still finds it too difficult!

Others can only see his splendor and heroism of winning consecutive battles and making extraordinary achievements!

Only he himself knows how he worked so hard to get through these dozens of torturous days and nights!

Only he himself knows how he walked step by step through the thousands of miles of clouds and moons!

It’s really too difficult!

But he did it after all!

There is such a battle.

Even if he were killed on the spot, his name, Chen Sheng, would be recorded in the annals of history and be passed down through the ages!

It's not plagiarism, it's a continuation of other people's deeds.

It is a legend that belongs to his own will!

…

After a long time, Chen Sheng managed to calm down his turbulent mood and looked at Mengcheng, whose city gate was still closed.

Timely.

Chen Dao and Zhao Si were already reining in the soldiers, and Fan Zeng was already leading his troops to take stock of the baggage.

Have to divide the cake.

Now is the best time!

Passed this gate.

Just because of Meng Tian's official position and the number of soldiers and horses under his command, he is not qualified to take food from Chen Sheng!

This is a very simple truth.

It is so simple that all the soldiers of Meng Tian’s army who are standing on top of the city wall and looking enviously at the battlefield outside the city can understand... the simple truth.

But the city gates of Mengcheng are still closed.

No one left the city to receive the surrendered soldiers.

No messenger from Mengtian came to invite him into the city...

It was as if Meng Tian had already made up his mind not to participate in the division of the spoils!

This made Chen Sheng know that something happened at Meng Tian's place that went against Meng Tian's original intention...

After Chen Sheng thought about it briefly, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​further investigation.

There is too little data to draw accurate conclusions.

But when I think about it, it's nothing more than an old trick of suppressing dissidents.

He didn't feel disappointed.

Because he never had any hope for Meng Tian.

Everyone is his own master and each relies on his own methods.

If you can trick me to death, that's your skill.

I admit defeat.

But you have moved your hands, but you haven't been able to trick me to death.

Then you can’t blame me for coming back with revenge...

Chen Sheng took one last look at Mengcheng, turned around, took a rein from the guard at his side, mounted his horse, and urged his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

…

At midnight, 10,000 civilians from Chen Sheng's camp rushed to the north of Mengcheng and joined in cleaning up the battlefield.

At noon, the battlefield was cleaned up, and a lot of data was gathered in Chen Sheng's hands.

Yes.

Chen Shengjun beheaded 8,000 people, captured more than 57,000 soldiers, thousands of them escaped, and thousands of them died in the siege.

They captured 800 war horses, more than 3,000 mules, horses, donkeys and oxen, and 2,000 dan of grain and grass.

The order captured countless soldiers, armor, and baggage.

Under the general's platform.

Chen Sheng looked at the data compiled from all aspects and felt mixed emotions!

Fortunately, with so many surrendered troops and large livestock, the county will not have to worry about labor in the coming year, whether it wants to expand the army or expand production.

What's worrying is that there are still three or four months until spring next year, and he can't afford to support so many people...

All of a sudden.

In his mind, channels for obtaining food such as "rich families", "state capital", "imperial court", etc. flashed through his mind.

But he was quickly rejected one by one.

I won’t talk about aristocratic families or anything like that.

All the wealthy families in Chen County were wiped out by him.

I won't be able to relax for ten or eight years.

The state capital didn’t say anything either.

Meng Tian is Lu's retainer.

His attitude represents the attitude of the Lu family and his son.

Based on what Meng Tian did today, if he wanted to exchange grain from the state capital, he had only two options: either continue to bring his troops to work for the state capital, or exchange these surrendered soldiers.

Chen Sheng doesn't want to take either of these two roads!

The imperial court...

In Chen County, Chen Sheng was a local emperor who kept his word.

In the eyes of the high-ranking officials in the court, he was probably just a beggar on his knees.

But he was not good at beating children's legs and feet, and they couldn't kneel down.

Just when Chen Sheng's thoughts were gradually going astray and heading towards crooked ways.

Xiang Liang, who was below, suddenly took a step forward, smiled without concealing the eagerness in his eyes and said, "General, can you take a step to speak?"

When Chen Sheng saw the eagerness in his eyes, his heart suddenly lit up and he thought to himself: How could I have forgotten this rich man?

He immediately turned his head and said to Fan Zeng, Chen Dao and others who were standing on one side: "Get your troops in order and set off home!"

Everyone listened to the order and saluted excitedly: "Wei!"

After everyone left, Xiang Liang was about to speak in a hurry, but Chen Sheng had already taken the lead and said with a smile: "What Uncle Shi is going to say is about surrendering the troops, right?"

Seeing his smiling face, Xiang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, "General..."

Before he could finish the salute, Chen Sheng had already raised his hands with one hand: "Uncle Shi, the battle is over, and there are only you and me here. Don't stay in front of the general, and behind the general. You'd better call me my nephew."

Da Lang!"

Xiang Liang also smiled, "Hey, Da Lang."

Chen Sheng invited him to sit down.

Xiang Liang first greatly praised his tactical command and kept comparing him with his two useless nephews who had run away from home. Chen Sheng was very impressed by what he heard.

To be honest, when he transferred the Xiang family's army to the camp, he actually wanted to ask Xiang Liang to be the commander of the army and lead them to fight against the Tu Sui army.

After all, Xiang Liang once served as a supporting general in the Youzhou Army. In terms of experience in commanding troops, he should be the best in Chen County.

Even Meng Tian before the Battle of Dangshan was probably worse than Xiang Liang.

However, when Xiang Liang entered the camp, Chen Sheng and others successfully ambushed the vanguard of the Tusui Army in Tuoxian County, so he felt a little confident and did not rush to mention this issue.

After thinking seriously for a long time, he finally decided to lead the army himself.

First of all, the power under his command is still classified as a family business for the time being. The middle management is either his uncle or his confidant. If he rashly invites an outsider to be a senior executive, there may be resentment among the people, including himself.

There is also some worry that Xiang Liang will use his soldiers and horses as cannon fodder to pave the way for Xiang's army... Acknowledging the difference between closeness and distance is the most basic quality of a wise man.

Secondly, he and the troops under his command need to learn and train. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has just started. At this stage, the Yellow Turban Army is still in a ragtag state focused on "power in numbers", so it is the best training target.

Now he doesn't personally command the troops to fight. When the intensity of the subsequent war gradually increases, he will be even less able to take action.

Facts have proved that his idea was correct.

After this battle, he and the soldiers and horses under his command have made sufficient progress.

Even if it is not enough to reach the threshold of famous generals and elite soldiers.

They are no longer a vulnerable mob!

"...Dalang, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is getting more and more intense, and half of Kyushu is on fire, Uncle Shi has no choice but to take care of his family members. Do you think that all the surrendered soldiers captured in this battle can be given to Uncle Shi?"

Xiang Liang said with a smile on his face, constantly looking at Chen Sheng's face as he spoke, and finally said: "It doesn't take too many, two or three thousand people are enough!"

Chen Sheng clapped his hands boldly and said with a smile: "Hey, uncle Shi, what are you talking about? This battle was won by my nephew and uncle Shi together. There should have been one from uncle Shi when he surrendered. Nothing is equal."

Yes, that’s too foreign!”

Xiang Liang was overjoyed, but then he heard Chen Sheng say: "Uncle Shi, you are well aware of the drought and food shortage in the county this year. My nephew is supporting a whole county of old and young people to live a hard life. It is already stretched, but now this group of strong men

, it will be used for next year’s spring plowing, which is a great thing.”
