During the brief period of silence in Huai State, the Wu Navy and Fish Scale Guard conducted military exercises on the Huai River, maintaining constant war readiness and ensuring smooth passage between Linzhou and Huai State.
After seizing Huai State, the Chen Army was not short of funds or provisions. To boost the morale of the troops, Chen Mo frequently rewarded the three armies.
Besides maintaining a state of alert throughout the army, the remaining soldiers were tasked with guarding and training the defectors. Chen Mo entrusted this important task to Zhao Liang and Liu Ji. Liu Ji had many clever ideas; if he could integrate these defectors into the Xianzhen Guard, it would be a significant achievement.
Bear in mind, after capturing Huai State, the number of defectors captured was close to thirty thousand.
However, Chen Mo believed that the possibility of assimilating them was quite high.
