In the distance, I watched the firelight on the Ming army retreat towards the west, and then the Jin army stopped chasing and slowly retreated towards the east.

Soon, the hill battlefield was quickly separated.

…………

When Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong rushed back to Zhoucheng, the sky was already bright.

The auxiliary soldiers had boiled hot water for the soldiers to take a bath, while the fire soldiers had already cooked hot broth for the soldiers to ward off the cold and satisfy their hunger.

In such humid and muddy weather, people can easily get sick if their feet are soaked in water for too long.

During World War I, many soldiers who lived in trenches for a long time suffered from foot erosion due to rain and humidity, which could even endanger their lives.

In later generations, this was known as "trench foot".

Li Yuanqing would naturally not care about what happened to the Jin army, but Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect the Ming army.

All soldiers participating in the war went to take a shower according to their organization, and then came to the temporary canteen to eat.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong finished taking a shower together, put on clean clothes, and came to the temporary canteen. Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also hurried over.

They had already learned about Li Yuanqing's biological capture of He Heli, and knew that Li Yuanqing's reputation would surely rise even more, so they naturally wanted to come over to congratulate him and discuss how to report his merits.

"Congratulations to General Li, congratulations to General Li, and He Heli, the assistant minister of Jin after he was captured. This is truly an unparalleled achievement! Hahaha..."

Zhang Qiliang was not the supervisor of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Camp. He was afraid that he and Chen Zhong would not share this great achievement, so he took the lead and came forward to please Li Yuanqing with a smile.

Wei Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhang Qiliang, this bastard has a really long nose.

But just as Wei Liang was about to speak and say something flattering, he found that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong didn't have the joy of victory on their faces. The words reached their throats and they couldn't help but swallow them back.

After a moment, he looked at Li Yuanqing carefully and said, "General Li, what happened?"
