After provoking the enemy and declaring his resolve, Wang Zhong decided to make the most of his time by bundling up and sleeping off a sweat.
It was his general approach to dealing with a cold and fever: sleep under a heavy blanket, sweat profusely, and the fever would often subside significantly.
This method was certainly not scientific, but after so many years, it had become habitual behavior.
So Wang Zhong returned to his command post, drank a lot of water, wrapped himself in the thickest blanket he could find, and went to sleep.
He was convinced that when he woke up, his condition would be much improved, and his mind would be clearer.
Then he would be in a better position to give Prosen a sound thrashing.
