The best way to dispose of a body is to burn it.

A fire burns it to ashes, and the ashes are extinguished. It is simple and clear, saving time and effort.

But at this time, the Ming army was downwind, and there were continuous camps behind it. Only the area inside the earthen wall was the best place to burn.

In this case, burning is not the best solution, at least not at this time.

And if you want to throw these Tatar corpses directly into the rolling river and use them as food and nutrients for the fish, this is also a good idea.

However, there were too many Tatar corpses, no less than a thousand, and a lot of manpower was wasted.

Furthermore, the fleets of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were anchored in the river, and these Tatar corpses were going to be beheaded.

There is no way to leave so many headless corpses floating in the river. If they are frozen on the river, there will be consequences.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanqing decided to first pile the heads of these Tatars in the open space in front of the earth wall. The princes would cut off their heads, strip off their armor, clothes, and property, and sprinkle them with quicklime to disinfect them.

After the affairs were settled, they were all taken to the south of the camp and burned.

By this time, it was getting dark, almost half past seven, and the night wind was starting to feel a little cold.

According to this state of affairs, it would be impossible for the Jin army to launch an attack again.

Li Yuanqing also relaxed a little, and he had plenty of time to arrange everything.

At this time, Zhang Pan hurried over and said, "Yuanqing, the meals are ready. You guys can eat at any time."

Just now, when the Jin army used the smoke to rush into the formation, Zhang Pan happened to go to the back to supervise the fire soldiers to cook. The Ming army's battle formation suddenly became tense. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Originally, he had already begun to prepare a retreat, preparing to support Li Yuanqing's retreat, but he did not expect that Li Yuanqing and his sons actually pushed back the Jin army's offensive and killed so many Tatars.

Zhang Pan also felt a little emotional that he and Li Yuanqing were no longer on the same level.

At this time, although Zhang Pan wanted to inquire about the situation of the battle with Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing looked very tired, and his subordinates were also busy working. How could he cause trouble to Li Yuanqing at this time? He had to help Li Yuanqing finish these trivial matters first.

"Haha. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang. Inform the fire soldiers to bring the hot soup over first so that the boys can drink some to warm themselves up."

Li Yuanqing smiled, of course he understood what Zhang Pan was thinking.

In fact, Li Yuanqing admired Zhang Pan's attitude very much.

His temperament may not be enough for pioneering, but it is more than adequate for maintaining success.

In future generations, no matter what company or group he goes to, he will have no problem reaching a stable position in the middle level.

Any boss or BOSS needs such people to stabilize military morale and ensure good logistics, so that they can forge ahead.

Zhang Pan smiled hurriedly, "Come on. I'll ask them to bring it over right away."

Seeing Zhang Pan running errands and leaving in person, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled and his expression became much more relaxed.

Zhang Pan is no better than Zhang Pan. His gentle temperament makes Li Yuanqing feel very comfortable. The most important thing is that he saves a lot of unnecessary troubles and he can help with many things.

For a brother like Zhang Pan, Li Yuanqing naturally doesn't mind giving him a good hand.

Soon, Zhang Pan personally commanded dozens of fire soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, carrying dozens of large wooden barrels, and there were many auxiliary soldiers behind with bowls and chopsticks.

"Brothers, the salted fish and bacon soup that has just been cooked is sweet and delicious. Hurry up and line up!" Zhang Pan shouted while standing in the wooden barrel.

The thick aroma of the broth had already attracted the noses and eyes of the men. As soon as they saw this, they hurriedly put down their work and moved towards this side.

Li Yuanqing's expression changed, "Who gave you the order to eat?"

Everyone was stunned and stayed on the spot, not daring to move even a step.

Zhang Pan's face suddenly became startled, and he was at a loss. He wanted to say something, but couldn't say it for the moment.

Li Yuanqing glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde!"

"The humble position is here!"

Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde, who were not far away, were both frightened. They hurried over and knelt on the ground respectfully.

Li Yuanqing was not polite. He stepped forward and kicked someone, "You two bastards, are you going to rebel?"

Most of the people around were their subordinates, and the two of them hurriedly kowtowed to each other, "General, please calm down. I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

Li Yuanqing said coldly: "Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde's tribe is standing in front of the earth wall, Xu Heizi's tribe and Shunzi's tribe will eat first. Everyone should wash their hands and faces first before coming over to eat!"

"yes!"

Li Yuanqing has spoken, who dares to refute?

Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde quickly led their troops to press against the earth wall, and asked Xu Heizi and Shunzi's gun soldiers to retreat first and come over to eat.

But Xu Heizi and Shun Zibu both had a good memory and went to the ditch nearby to wash their hands and faces before daring to come over to eat.

At this time, Chen Zhong also hurried over with a dozen soldiers.

He was covered in blood and looked tired. When he saw the broth placed here, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He laughed and came to Li Yuanqing's side. He greeted the fire soldiers on the side: "Hey! Boys, here is Master Chen.

Serve a bowl too."

As he spoke, he said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, how are you doing here? The soldiers suffered a lot of casualties in this battle."

Li Yuanqing nodded. At this time, a soldier had already prepared the hot soup and was about to hand it to Chen Zhong.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand to stop the soldier, turned to Chen Zhong and said: "Brother, you two should wash your hands and faces before eating. These blood stains are not a good thing!"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment and understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Look at my brain, I even forgot to wash my hands before eating. Yuan Qing, wait for me, I will come right away."

As he spoke, he hurried to the ditch to wash his hands, and so did his soldiers.

Li Yuanqing sighed slowly and quickly came to Zhang Pan, "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Pan finally came to his senses and explained awkwardly: "Yuan Qing, I, I don't want to be with you..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Come on, Brother Zhang, let's wash our hands too. Let's talk while we walk."

Looking at the soft smile on Li Yuanqing's face, Zhang Pan could also tell that Li Yuanqing was not deliberately trying to undermine his prestige.

Furthermore, given Li Yuanqing's status at this time, there was absolutely no need for him to do this.

He hurriedly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

The two of them washed their hands and faces and felt much lighter and more energetic.

Chen Zhong had already drank most of the bowl of broth, and there was blood on his face. He hurried over to greet him, "Yuan Qing, Lao Zhang."

Li Yuanqing smiled and sat on the mound beside the ditch. He asked Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan to sit down and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Brother Zhang. I have heard an old saying before that success or failure is determined by details. You may think that I, Li Yuanqing,

It’s too unkind. But I can make it clear first. Rules are rules, and feelings are feelings. Rules are bigger than the sky, and feelings are deeper than the sea. But in everything, rules must still be the first priority.”

Chen Zhong nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, that's the case. What's wrong with you today? Are you too tired and feeling unwell?"

Zhang Pan also nodded quickly and looked at Li Yuanqing with concern.

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "I'm in good health. However, I scolded Brother Zhang just now and I must explain it to him."

Chen Zhong didn't know there was such a problem and looked at Zhang Pan hurriedly.

Zhang Pan hurriedly smiled bitterly and said: "Old Chen, I am still a little unfamiliar with your rules in the Changsheng Camp."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, it's not that you are not familiar with it. In fact, Brother Chen is not familiar with it either."

Li Yuanqing said and explained carefully: "I don't know how many bacteria are mixed with these blood stains and filth. These bacteria are deadly things. If eaten into the stomach, it can range from diarrhea to malaria and severe cases.

Once an infectious disease breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable! Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, our men and women have spent so much effort and finally withstood the offensive of the dog Tatars. If you risk your life on this,

, isn’t it a pity?”

Although Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan didn't understand what bacteria and infectious diseases were, they roughly understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, no, it's not as exaggerated as you said, right? Isn't this how we have been here for so many years?"

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Brother, one moment is one moment. Do you remember that when I launched the surprise attack on Zhenjiang, the first thing I did when I organized the army was to urge the men to take a bath and maintain hygiene?"

The fact that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were close friends was not a big secret in the hearts of many caring people. At this time, in front of Zhang Pan, Li Yuanqing did not hide it and directly omitted the word "Chen".

Chen Zhong was in a daze for a while, and then he remembered something and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, I seem to remember such a thing."

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Chen Zhong's shoulder heavily, "Brother, Brother Zhang, at this level, to be honest, you and I, brothers, are no longer what they used to be. The glory and wealth are just within easy reach! Our brothers.

, is the same! Therefore, the life of every brother is very precious! Everyone follows me, Li Yuanqing, you, Chen Zhong, and you, Zhang Pan, with your head in your belt, working hard for what? Isn’t it just to kill?

Can the Tatars, who are naked dogs, honor their ancestors and leave a legacy to the next generation?"

Li Yuanqing said, stood up, and looked around condescendingly, "Although I, Li Yuanqing, am not a saint, nor a hero! But I understand that all the sons and daughters who follow me, Li Yuanqing, are my flesh and blood brothers! I

I must be responsible for them! I must let them live and live well! Live better than others! Live more gloriously than others!"

At this time, many people had gathered around Li Yuanqing and the other three.

Li Yuanqing's words did not evade the crowd at all. The eyes of everyone around him were attracted by Li Yuanqing, and they all gathered on Li Yuanqing. Their fanatical admiration could not be concealed at all!

Although Li Yuanqing's words were vulgar, they spoke to everyone's heart.

What is the purpose of living?

Isn't it just to get promoted and make money, gold and silver women?

What does a mere dog Tatar mean?

"Therefore, even if it is a tiny detail, I, Li Yuanqing, will never dare to neglect even the slightest bit! Brothers, brothers believe in me, Li Yuanqing, and are willing to follow me, Li Yuanqing, then I, Li Yuanqing, cannot let them down! I must lead my brothers well.

Go forward! Even if you have a sword on your neck and an ax on your body, what's the harm~~~~?"

"The general is victorious! I swear to serve the general to the death!"

"You damn bitch, who didn't open your eyes just now and dared to make the general angry? Haven't you even fucking eaten? If you don't eat, you will starve to death? You have completely forgotten, who is following you?

After becoming a general, can we eat full meals and have meat every meal?"

"You're a donkey ball! How come we have such an ungrateful bastard in our Changsheng camp? Even if I, Li Hu, try to eat a military stick today, I still have to tear off his head and play it as a ball!"
