Before dark, Liu Zong led the fleet back, and Liu Jing personally led his generals to greet him outside the camp. Looking at the high-spirited Liu Zong, Liu Jing smiled and said: "Brother Cong, thank you for your hard work. This battle has defeated a powerful enemy.
Brother Cong deserves the most congratulations for his contribution."
In this battle, the infantry beheaded nearly a thousand people and captured more than 1,500 people, of whom more than 900 were from Wu Ju's tribe, all Changsha soldiers. In addition, more than 1,100 pieces of armor and more than 2,500 armors were seized.
There are countless flags, drums, and weapons.
The navy sank dozens of large ships and countless small boats, beheaded more than 1,200 people, captured many, and killed more than 2,600 people. Thirteen large ships, 23 stern ships, and fighting ships were captured.
Twenty-two ships, a total of fifty-eight ships. In addition, nearly a thousand pieces of armor, two thousand armors, and weapons and baggage were piled up like mountains.
It is not difficult to see from this that the naval army achieved greater results than the infantry army, so Liu Jingcai said that Liu Zong had the highest credit in this battle.
Liu Zong had a look of pride on his face when he heard this, and he laughed loudly and said: "Haha, the Jingzhou army relies on its own strength and acts unscrupulously. Today's battle finally relieves the depression in my chest. How happy!"
Liu Jingshen thought so, nodded and said: "Since the Jingzhou Army went south, they have won many battles with few setbacks. They have gradually regarded our heroes and wise men in Changsha as if they were nothing. After today's battle, the people in Jiangbei should know that we also have heroes in Changsha, and they should not be insulted."
"
"This is my heart." Liu Zong said with a big smile, stroking his hands.
Liu Jing's eyes turned to Liu Zhu, who had outstanding appearance with sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and said: ""Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: 'A wise king and a wise general are the ones who win over others through action. Those who succeed come from the crowd are also prophets. Prophets are not advisable.
As for ghosts and gods, they cannot be compared to things, nor can they be tested and measured. They must be taken from people, and they are those who know the enemy's feelings.'
Wenxiu knew the movements of the Jingzhou navy before they left Linxiang and sent back the information in time, giving us enough time to calmly deal with the enemy. It can be said that we made a great contribution. Today, we led the navy to fight and achieved quite a lot.
He is worthy of the praise of 'his great achievements'."
Liu Zhu Zhengrong bowed solemnly and said: "How can I deserve such praise from Mr. Liu for my small contribution?"
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head and said: "Wenxiu does not need to be modest. As a general, you must not know the way of rewards and punishments. Improper rewards and punishments will definitely lead to the demoralization of the army and great harm. If Wenxiu's merits are not rewarded, how will he be respected in the future?
Everyone?"
"Wen Xiu has made great contributions, and he should be rewarded generously." Liu Zong said from the side. Liu Zhu was his subordinate, and they both came from the same lineage of Changsha Dingwang, and Liu Zhu was smart and cautious.
She is much more pleasing to the eye than Wang Qiang, who has a sinister temperament and is extremely wealthy.
Then Liu Jing praised Huang Wu and other generals a few words, and finally said to Liu Zong: "To celebrate the victory, I have set up a party in the camp, and I am waiting for my brother Cong and all the soldiers."
Liu Zong laughed and said: "Since the launch of the army, the Jingzhou navy has been like a sword hanging on the head and neck. They have been fighting every day without drinking. Now that the enemy has been defeated, they should drink to their heart's content and get drunk before resting."
After that, the two of them joined hands and entered the camp.
That night, the camp was brightly lit and filled with laughter and laughter. Liu Jing usually drank in moderation, but today it was rare for him to indulge. In the face of everyone's toast, he did not refuse everyone who came, and the wine was drunk until the glass was dry.
After several rounds of drinking, Liu Jing was slightly tipsy, and he took the opportunity to hold Liu Zong's hand and said: "Brother Cong, Liu Wenxiu, Wang Zijian has made great contributions this time, so he cannot but reward him. I want to give him this opportunity."
How about splitting the captured warship into two pieces and letting each of them take one? Of course, the big ship will give half to brother Cong."
Liu Zong's face darkened after hearing this. There were as many as fifty-eight large ships captured in this battle, including thirteen large ships. However, after the battle, our navy only had less than sixty large ships left.
The overall strength is still slightly inferior. Regarding Liu Jing's decision, he was naturally reluctant and said: "The old saying goes: 'Divided, the strength is scattered, dedicated, the strength is complete.' The reason why we were able to defeat the powerful this time
The Jingzhou navy concentrated its power in one place precisely because of its 'specialization', but now Zhongda wants to 'divide' it, which is really inappropriate."
Among the generals, only Liu Zong dared to refute Liu Jing's opinions face to face without any scruples. Firstly, he was a brother of Liu Jing's clan, and secondly, he led troops and invested in shares, which made him different from others. In this regard, even
Liu Xiu also fell short.
Liu Jing smiled without changing his face and said: "Brother Cong wants to be sent away. I have no intention of 'separating'. Liu Wenxiu and Wang Zijian are just leading the fleet as deputy generals of the Navy and are still under Brother Cong's command."
Liu Zong still had a look of hesitation on his face.
Liu Jing pretended not to see him. This was a plan he had made early in the morning, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation. Think about it, before long, the navy army will expand to tens of thousands, twice as many as the infantry.
If the Navy continues to appoint someone, even if this person is his clan brother, Liu Jing will never feel at ease.
Regardless of whether Liu Zong was ambitious or not, he could not let it develop and create a situation where the tail was too big to lose. He had to keep it within his control. Within a force, only one voice was enough.
The conversation between Liu Jing and Liu Zong was just a small episode in the banquet. The banquet continued, with everyone changing glasses and dancing drunkenly until midnight.
The next day, tens of thousands of civilians went out again and spent a whole day cleaning the battlefield.
Since the fourth year of Jianning (171 AD), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, in less than thirty years, major plagues have broken out repeatedly across the country in the Han Dynasty. Taipingdao took the opportunity to rise in the name of treating plagues and diseases, and finally led to
The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across eight states and was poisonous for a long time.
The decline and fall of the Han Empire cannot be said to be entirely due to the plague, but the plague definitely played an extremely important role in it.
As a time traveler, Liu Jing knows better than anyone else the horror of the plague in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. Countless famous ministers and generals of the Three Kingdoms died at the hands of the plague in their prime. A certain great epidemic in the late Jian'an years actually killed "
Most of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" group were wiped out, which is simply appalling.
Precisely because he understood the horror of the plague, Liu Jing attached great importance to the prevention and control of the plague. In order to prevent the spread of the plague after the war, Liu Jing decisively ordered that all corpses, regardless of whether they were enemy or friend, would be cremated. The only difference was that his own ashes would be taken away, while the enemy's
The ashes were scattered into the Xiang River.
Before breaking up camp and leaving, Liu Jing asked the civilians to destroy hundreds of huts and bury them with soil. The so-called qings also meant toilets.
Preventing diseases is nothing more than ingestion and excretion. Therefore, Liu Jing established a system a few years ago. Whenever a camp is set up, each team of fifty people will build a toilet. Soldiers are strictly prohibited from urinating anywhere. Anyone who violates the rules
Will be whipped.
Supplemented by drinking boiled water, spreading lime, etc., after several years, the results were remarkable. According to his clan brother Liu Xiu, compared with the military camps he had stayed in in the past, where shortness of breath, abdominal diseases, swelling and other diseases were rampant, Liu Jing's soldiers suffered from
