Transmigration begins with archery training

"General Sha? You mean Sha Wenlong?"

The Crown Prince said calmly, "In such a great battle, only three to five hundred people were killed or wounded. Isn't it normal for a Xuanxiang General to sacrifice his life? After the merits are rewarded, I will naturally give him the rewards he deserves. I will not mistreat any loyal minister of my Great Sheng."

"He didn't die in the final battle!"

Cao Fan added, "Father, it was after the great battle that Chen Sanshi arranged for him to mop up the remaining cavalry..."

"and many more."

The Crown Prince keenly sensed the unusual tone in the words: "Tell me, how many enemies have you made for me in Liangzhou!"

"puff"

Cao Fan knelt on the ground: "Father, I did not do that. I was just following your instructions to compete for the title of champion and try to see if I could bring the commander-in-chief to our side. But there can only be one champion. It is normal for me to have disagreements with him. Father, you are wise!"

"Your Highness, this servant can testify."

Eunuch Feng quickly knelt down as well: "His Highness has always kept a low profile and been humble in Liangzhou. He has never caused any trouble. In order to compete for the top spot in the selection, he even went so far as to cultivate the Fierce Blade, which shortened his lifespan!"

"you……"

The Crown Prince looked at the Heir Apparent and said with a troubled expression, "Never mind, it was indeed I who sent you."

They led the people across the river back then.

From a military perspective, it wasn't a big deal. After all, the main force of the barbarians was in Anding Prefecture at the time, and they couldn't even send a general there. So, in most people's eyes, it was just a risky act.

Who could have imagined that a villager from the countryside could achieve what he has today?

"Father!"

Cao Fan accused him, saying, "When we were selecting the vanguard, I fought him to the death. Later, during the battle of Mingzhou, General Sha only disagreed with his strategy and we had a disagreement. But he... This man is treacherous and ruthless. I fear that in the future..."

Cui Congyi added, "Your Highness, General Sha did say before he left that Chen Sanshi might use his position to settle personal scores. At the time, he even asked General Fan to send someone else instead."

"okay."

The Crown Prince interrupted, saying, "I understand."

"Your Highness."

The black-robed monk said, "If I am not mistaken, the Xuanjia Army will also be assigned to Ziwei Mountain. Although the three thousand Xuanjia do not have any Martial Saints or Xuanxiang, they are still a force to be reckoned with."

"..."

The prince held a teacup in one hand: "Old Yao, is it possible to win him over?"

"Not very likely."

The monk in black analyzed, "This man was personally promoted by His Majesty, and Yan Liang's son has always served under him. In addition, there is the connection with Sun Xiangzong... Of course, if we can win him over, we should try our best to do so. Even if we can't win him over, we should try not to harm this talented man. After the matter is accomplished, he will naturally still be His Highness's subject."

"Father!"

Cao Fan pleaded, "Chen Sanshi, he..."

"You are the heir apparent, how dare he?"

The Crown Prince sighed and said, "Alright, Cui Congyi, you and Cao Fan will act together from now on. Also, I'll leave the matter of that Zhang Laizi to you. Remember, it's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. At this crucial moment, don't cause any trouble!"

……

Kunlun Mountains.

"His Majesty!"

The chief eunuch Huang Hong presented the battle report: "Congratulations! Congratulations indeed!"

"Hehe~ Three thousand to break one hundred thousand."

After Emperor Longqing personally reviewed the document, the emotions in his eyes were no longer just shock and joy, but also included apprehension: "Huang Hong, tell me, if Sun Xiangzong had been in command, could he have achieved this?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible."

Huang Hong lowered his head and said, "That's 100,000 men. More importantly, General Chen's 3,000 men have only been training together for less than two months. After this great battle, they suffered only 300 to 500 casualties."

"So, he's even stronger than Sun Xiangzong?"

The old emperor's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile: "My great empire truly is teeming with talented individuals."

"In my opinion, the main problem is still the Heavenly Book."

Huang Hong slowly said, "The formation above is in their hands. It's probably not as effective as it would be if practiced in the capital. Oh dear, I shouldn't have said that..."

Emperor Longqing snorted coldly: "I knew Fang Qingyun and the others were hiding something. Let them be. I am not a narrow-minded person. As long as they can be of use to my Great Sheng Dynasty, they are all meritorious officials."

"Regardless, the recapture of these three prefectures and the restoration of the Imperial Ancestral Temple are undoubtedly momentous events."

"Huang Hong, have the Directorate of Ceremonial draft an imperial edict."

"The Ministry of Rites also needs to begin preparations."

"At Ziwei Mountain, the civil and military officials in the capital, as well as the meritorious officials of these battles, all have to go to Taihu Prefecture to wait."

"I, too, will personally descend upon the southeast."

……

Taihu Prefecture.

This place is the ancient capital of three dynasties and is the most prosperous prefecture in the eastern region, without exception. In addition, the war in Lingzhou was mainly in the Hulao Pass area, and the vast majority of people in other places were fortunate enough not to be directly affected.

However, they were simply not directly affected.

The three eastern states have had poor harvests in recent years. After a major battle, coupled with the invasion and forced conscription by the 100,000-strong army of Nanxu, most of the people's food rations were consumed in just a few months.

It happened to be springtime, which is already the most difficult time of the year. Many places were experiencing famine, and if things continued like this, people would soon start starving to death.

Chen Sanshi originally planned to follow the previous method and directly kill a few disreputable officials and sects, and then open the granaries to distribute grain. However, he was rejected by his superiors, who claimed that these people had already submitted to Dasheng and that the long-term stability of the region depended on them. They could not indiscriminately kill "innocent" people.

When asked to allocate a small amount of military rations, Commander Meng politely declined, saying that the army's food supplies must be guaranteed to be plentiful at all times, and that civilians could die, but soldiers could not starve.

As for transferring grain from other prefectures...

That would be even more difficult than climbing to heaven.

Chen Sanshi had neither the authority nor the ability to do so.

but.

Every day, people would come to him, either to complain or to ask for food.

Chen Sanshi couldn't kill the corrupt official, so all he could do was spend his own money to buy some food and distribute porridge in front of his door every day. Basically, every day at dawn, a long queue would form in front of his mansion.

He has enough money now.

The higher one's martial arts level, the more resources are needed that cannot be bought with money. Help as much as you can.

Fang Qingyun also took out his silver, and Wang Zhi also contributed a lot, but they both instructed that this matter should not be blown out of proportion, otherwise it would have a negative impact on the court and bring trouble upon themselves.

Chen Sanshi then delegated the task to his subordinates.

"A letter from home!"

Several days later, letters arrived from all over the country.

The cavalrymen delivered letters from house to house.

The end of the war naturally meant unimpeded passage.
