Chapter 67 - 67 66 The Rout of the Troops
?Chapter 67: Chapter 66: The Rout of the Troops Chapter 67: Chapter 66: The Rout of the Troops Zhou Lan did not linger at the riverside for long. After the scribes had recorded Yang Zhenshan’s merits, she hastily led her people away.
After a short rest at noon, Yang Zhenshan also led his troop to continue their journey, and it was not until the next morning that they found the main army’s campsite, delivering the grains and supplies to the Left Camp at Chongshan Town.
Back at the camp, Yang Zhenshan first handed over the grains to Zhao Yuan, and then delivered the severed heads of the Northern barbarians to the camp’s scribes. They would tally them up and report to the main commander’s camp later on. Rewards would be given after the war ended.
As for the spoils of war, Yang Zhenshan kept the Silver for himself, and handed over things like the warhorses and armaments to Zhao Yuan. There was no way he could take these spoils with him.
Perhaps after the war, when it came time for reward and recognition, Zhou Lan would give him some extra Silver Coin, considering the significant value of so many warhorses.
Having dealt with all matters, Yang Zhenshan intended to rest for a couple of days, but to his surprise, he received an order the next morning to return to Chongshan Pass with supplies.
This time, the order didn’t come from Zhou Lan, but from the main commander’s camp.
Despite the protection of the Left and Right Camps sweeping away Northern barbarians harassing the supply routes, the main army had suffered heavy losses to their Supply Teams and lost much grain. The main commander’s camp had no choice but to consolidate the Supply Teams from different camps to return to Chongshan Pass for supplies together.
Thus, Yang Zhenshan became a dedicated logistics officer, once again leading his troop to Chongshan Pass.
In the 23rd year of stable rule, in the middle of July.
Yang Zhenshan led his troop once again to the riverside where they had withstood attacks from the Northern barbarians.
The long supply line snaked along the river bank like a dragon, slowly advancing. The originally flat riverside was now marked with a road carved by the cartwheels.
This was Yang Zhenshan’s fourth time returning to Chongshan Pass with supplies. Except for the first encounter with the Northern barbarians, the subsequent trips were relatively safe.
Although the Northern barbarians still harassed the supply routes, they didn’t dare to attack the supply line as recklessly as before with the Left and Right Camps on guard.
