Chapter 233

Before dark, Liu Zong returned with his fleet, and Liu Jing personally led the generals to meet him outside the camp. Looking at the high-spirited Liu Zong walking like a dragon, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Brother Cong, you have worked hard. This battle has defeated a powerful enemy. Cong brother's contribution is the first, and should be congratulated by the audience."

This battle infantry beheaded nearly a thousand ranks, and captured more than [-] people, of which more than [-] were Wu Ju's tribe, all Changsha soldiers.In addition, more than [-] pieces of armor, more than [-] pieces of armor, and countless banners, drums, and weapons were seized.

However, the navy sank dozens of large ships and countless small boats, beheaded more than 23 people, and captured more than 22 people.Thirteen building ships, 58 warships, and [-] fighting ships were seized, totaling [-] ships.In addition, nearly a thousand armors and two thousand pockets were obtained, and weapons and baggage were piled up like a mountain.

It is not difficult to see from this that the results of the naval army are still higher than that of the infantry, so Liu Jingcai said that Liu Zong made the most contribution in this battle.

Hearing this, Liu Zong had a look of pride on his face, and laughed loudly: "Haha, the Jingzhou army is strong and rampant, today's battle finally relieved the depression in the chest, happy!"

Liu Jingshen took it for granted, nodded and said, "Since the Jingzhou army went south, they have won many battles and won few setbacks. They have gradually regarded our heroes and wise men in Changsha as nothing. In today's battle, people in Jiangbei should know that we also have heroes in Changsha, and we should not be lightly insulted. "

"This is my heart." Liu Zong clapped his hands and laughed.

Liu Jing turned his gaze to Liu Zhu, who had sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and was outstanding in appearance, and said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'Mingjun is a wise general, so he can conquer others by moving, and those who succeed from the crowd are also prophets. Prophet is not advisable. For ghosts and gods, you can't be like things, you can't be tested by degrees, they must be taken from people, and those who know the enemy's feelings are also."

Before the Jingzhou navy came out of Linxiang, Wenxiu knew its movements and sent back the information in time, so that we had enough time to deal with the enemy calmly, which can be said to have made a great contribution.Leading the water army to battle today has achieved quite a lot, and deserves the praise of "the greatest meritorious service". "

Liu Zhu bowed solemnly and said: "A little credit, how can it be worthy of Liu Jun's praise."

Liu Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "Wenxiu doesn't have to be modest. As a general, you have to know the way of rewards and punishments. If rewards and punishments are not measured, it will definitely lead to the loss of morale in the army, which will cause great harm. If the merits of Wenxiu are not rewarded heavily, how will you serve them in the future?" public?"

"Wenxiu's meritorious service should be rewarded heavily." Liu Zong said from the side.Since Liu Zhu was his subordinate, both of them came from the same lineage of King Ding of Changsha, and Liu Zhu was alert and cautious, which seemed much more pleasing to the eye than Wang Qiang, who had a sinister temperament and a very powerful city.

Then Liu Jing praised Huang Wu and other generals a few more words, and finally said to Liu Zong: "To celebrate the victory, I have set up a banquet in the camp, and I will wait for Brother Cong and the soldiers."

Liu Zong laughed and said: "Since the army was launched, the Jingzhou navy has been like a sword hanging around the head and neck. They are trembling every day and have never drank alcohol. Now that the enemy has been defeated, they should drink as much as they want, and drink as much as they want."

After all, the two put their arms into the camp.

That day and night, the camp was brightly lit and filled with laughter and chatter. Liu Jing often drank alcohol in moderation, but today he was a rare indulgence. Facing the toasts of the crowd, he never refused to come, and the wine was dry until the glass was dry.

After several rounds of drinking, Liu Jing's face was slightly drunk, and he was three points drunk. He took the opportunity to hold Liu Zong's hand and said: "Brother Cong, Liu Wenxiu and Wang Zijian have made great contributions together this time. I have to reward you. I want to give this to you." How about splitting the captured warship into two, let them each get one? Of course, Lou Chuan will give half to Brother Cong."

After hearing this, Liu Zong's face sank. There were as many as 58 large ships captured in this battle, including [-] large ships. After a big battle, there were only less than [-] large ships left in the navy. Not as good.Regarding Liu Jing's decision, he naturally had a hundred reluctance in his heart, and said: "As the old saying goes: 'Divided, the force is dispersed, and specialization makes the force complete.' The reason why we were able to defeat the mighty Jingzhou navy this time is precisely Because of 'specialization', the power is concentrated in one place, but Zhongda now wants to 'divide', which is really out of date."

Among all the generals, only Liu Zong dared to refute Liu Jing's opinions face to face without any scruples. Firstly, he was the elder brother of Liu Jing's clan, and secondly, he was leading troops into shares, which made him different from others.In this point, even Liu Xiu is not as good as.

Liu Jing smiled without changing his expression: "Brother Cong thinks badly, I have no intention of 'parting'. Liu Wenxiu and Wang Zijian are only leading the fleet as lieutenant generals of the navy, and they 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 discussion.Think about it, before long, the navy will expand to tens of thousands of people, twice as many as the infantry. If the navy continues to have one person, even if this person is his clan brother, Liu Jing will never be able to peace of mind.

Regardless of whether Liu Zong has ambitions or not, he cannot allow it to develop. It will cause a situation that cannot be lost. It must be fixed within the scope of his control. Within a force, only one voice is enough.

The conversation between Liu Jing and Liu Zong was just a small episode of the banquet, and the banquet continued until midnight.

The next day, tens of thousands of civilians dispatched again and spent a whole day cleaning the battlefield.

Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty built Ning four years (171 years), in less than 30 years, the great Han Dynasty has repeatedly broken out nationwide great plagues. In Bazhou, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been spreading for a long time.

The decline and demise of the Han Empire cannot be said to be all due to the plague, but the plague definitely played an extremely important role in it.

As a traveler, Liu Jing knows better than anyone the horror of the plague in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. Countless famous officials and generals of the Three Kingdoms died of the plague in their prime. Most of the "Jian'an Seven Sons" regiment was wiped out, which is simply shocking.

Just 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 plague from breeding after the war, Liu Jing decisively ordered that the corpses be cremated regardless of whether they were enemies or not. The ashes were scattered into the Xiangshui River.

Before leaving the camp, Liu Jing asked the civilian husbands to destroy hundreds of shackles and bury them with soil. The so-called shackles are toilets.

Preventing diseases is nothing more than starting from the two places of ingestion and excretion. Therefore, Liu Jing established a system a few years ago. Every team set up a camp with 50 people in each team to build a toilet. It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to defecate anywhere. will be whipped.

Supplemented by drinking boiled water and sprinkling lime, etc., after several years, the results have been remarkable.According to clan brother Liu Xiu, compared with the barracks he used to stay in, where shortness of breath, abdominal disease, and swelling were rampant, the sickness rate of Liu Jing's soldiers was much lower.
