"The division commander is sick?" He Dong and Song Tao jumped up at once, and Mao Afu, who was still unable to move on the bed, stared at his eyes roundly, and the eyes of the three of them revealed incredible and full of disbelief, a few hours ago, when Dong Zhuang set off from here, he was still as strong as a cow, how did he fall ill in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the eyes of several people, Cui Chengxiu also felt that this lie was a little too outrageous, but what could he do? Can he say that because the army commander was worried that Dong Zhuang would react violently and rebel after learning the truth about this matter, he would ruin the major affairs of the imperial court, so he swept another handful of salt on top of the wounds of the third division.

Coughing gently, Cui Chengxiu didn't look at the faces of the three of them, and said to himself: "In view of the fact that Division Commander Dong suddenly fell ill, Commander Zhang ordered me to take care of the Third Division for a period of time until Division Commander Dong's body recovered."

After an embarrassing silence, Song Tao stood up and snapped, "Song Tao, the commander of the third division and the third regiment, obey the order."

Cui Chengxiu nodded, Song Tao graduated from Jishicheng Military University, and he had a sense of closeness to himself from above, and Mao Afu was the same, although he was now lying on the bed.

Sure enough, after Song Tao finished speaking, although Mao Afu, who was lying on the bed, hesitated, he still said in a low voice: "Mao Afu, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Third Division, obeys the order."

The two regiment commanders both expressed their attitudes, and the head of the first regiment, He Dong, could only nod.

"In view of the fact that the 3rd Division has suffered heavy losses in the battle and has suffered many casualties, in order to strengthen the defense in the direction of Jiangjiaji, the 1st Division will transfer a fully equipped regiment to Jiangjiaji to garrison, while the 3rd Division will transfer 1st Regiment He Dongdong to the 1st Division's garrison." Choi Chengxiu gave his first assignment after acting as the commander of the Third Division.

Hearing the first order of the acting division commander, the three regiment commanders naturally sniffed out the different meanings in it, because He Dongtuan first encountered the enemy's main force in the battle of Sixi, the loss was indeed very large, and the He Dong regiment was replaced by a fully equipped regiment to Jiang Jiaji, from a military point of view, there was naturally no problem, but the He Dong regiment was transferred away, there was a problem here, it seems that the upper head was worried about the third division?

This time, not only He Dong, but even Song Tao and Mao Afu who were lying on the bed looked ugly.

He Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stalked his neck, and asked directly: "Senior Commander Cui, is there something wrong with Senior Commander Dong, is there a need to investigate the responsibility for this defeat, and Senior Commander Dong has been detained, right?"

"What nonsense!" Cui Chengxiu's face sank, "I said before, Division Commander Dong is sick, and now he is being treated by a doctor in the military department, don't think that Division Commander Dong is very strong and strong and will not get sick, people eat grains, how can anyone not get sick, during this time, your division commander is worried and sleepy internally and externally, and his body has long been overwhelmed, but he just happened to have a seizure today, what are you thinking about in your mind."

"Senior Commander Cui, if you really want to be held responsible, the responsibility this time is mainly on me!" Mao Afu's voice lying on the bed seemed very weak, but very resolute.

"And me, if it weren't for the repeated begging of the division commander for help, the division commander would not have rushed to Sixi with his troops, and there would not have been a matter of dragging the whole army into the water later. Master Cui, I am willing to take all the responsibilities!" He Dong also said loudly.

"What a fart!" Cui Chengxiu was angry, Huo Di stood up, "I told you, Senior Commander Dong is sick, no one holds him responsible, what responsibility do you want to bear, this time the new First Army has suffered heavy losses and is facing the danger of annihilation of the whole army, you two small regiment commanders are willing to take responsibility, can you bear it?" How wide do you think your shoulders are?"

He Dong lowered his head, and Mao Afu closed his eyes.

"Song Tao!" Choi Chengxiu shouted.

"In!"

"Although I am acting as the commander of the third division, the station of my first division is far away from here, except for heavy military affairs, ordinary daily affairs will be handled by you, and the regiment I transferred will also be arranged by you. Do you understand?" Cui Chengxiu said loudly.

"Yes!"

"He Dong, let your regiment prepare, when the troops of the first division that have exchanged guards with you arrive, you must report to me at the first division station as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" He Dong replied in a low voice.

Cui Chengxiu snorted, turned around and walked out, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around. looked at the three of them and said, "As a soldier, you need to remember that the most important thing is to obey, not to ask why!"

Ordered Song Tao to deal with daily affairs without intervening himself, because Cui Chengxiu did not want to intensify the anti-feelings of the Third Division, Song Tao's Third Regiment is now the most complete and strongest regiment of the Third Division, and more importantly, Song Tao is a cadet who graduated from Jishicheng Military University, and he can be trusted.

transferred He Dong because He Dong was picked up by Dong Zhuang, his background and temperament are similar to Dong Zhuang, and his temperament is very strong, and he put his lump in his own nest, even if He Dong wants to do something, it is impossible to succeed. Of course, this is also a kind of protection for He Dong by Cui Chengxiu, once there is no chewing head, He Dong is likely to make a mess. In the third division, except for Dong Zhuang, the prestige of the first regiment and the first regiment commander He Dong was extremely high.

Cui Chengxiu was not worried that the remaining troops of the Third Division would rebel, but was worried that if it was really as the commander said, the Third Division would make trouble and something big would happen.

And in the two days that Cui Chengxiu painstakingly dealt with the stall left by the army commander, Wu Qi, who had finished the negotiations with Huang Xie, the first assistant of the Chu State, rushed to Sixi in a hurry.

"Don't you want us to surrender? Instead, you can leave Pengcheng with all your weapons?" Zhang Hongyu, who heard the news, was surprised and delighted, this result simply made him a little unable to believe his ears.

"Yes, but we can't garrison Sanchuan, the whole army has to retreat to Suiyang, from Sanchuan to Tucheng, on this land of hundreds of miles, both sides are not allowed to garrison!" Wu Qidao.

Zhang Hongyu took a deep breath: "It's nothing if you can't garrison troops in a hundred miles of land, and when we attack Chu on a large scale, the distance of hundreds of miles will be achieved overnight, but Wu Yizheng, is that all?" How could the other side possibly make such a big concession?"

"Of course not." Wu Qi stared into Zhang Hongyu's eyes and muttered, "The Qilu Army must withdraw to Linyi, and there are thousands of square kilometers of land gone. These must be returned to the state of Chu."

"The Qilu Legion retreats to Linyi!" Zhang Hongyu was stunned all of a sudden, which meant that the results of their battle with the Qilu Army for more than half a year last year had come to naught, and they had returned to the same running line with the Chu State before the war.

"This is the price we have to pay, and to pay this price, or because the king put on a posture of not sparing any price to fight a battle of national fortune with the Chu State, in order to bring you back, the two cavalry corps of the Young Guards Regiment mobilized, and the other troops also began to cooperate and made a series of tactical moves, which frightened the people of Chu. The price can't be said to be small." Looking at Zhang Hongyu who lowered his head, Wu Qi patted the other party's shoulder, "The king said, talent is the most important, no matter what the price is, you must bring back the surviving soldiers of the New First Army, but I didn't expect the Chu people to be so intimidating, originally my bottom line was that as long as he let you go, I didn't expect that you could go back with all your equipment."

Zhang Hongyu stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Qi: "The New First Army thanks Wu Yizheng, if it weren't for your hard work, the New First Army would not have ended this war with dignity, and it would not have returned with dignity, if the New First Army was really disarmed and went back with bare hands, it would be a shame that the New First Army would never be able to wash away, no matter what credit he could make in the future, in the army sequence of the Han Dynasty, he would not be able to raise his head again, I thank you for the New First Army."

"Thank you, I was entrusted by the king to negotiate, naturally I have to work hard to fight for greater rights and interests, in fact, to be honest, I am quite surprised to have such an effect." Wu Qidao.

Zhang Hongyu nodded: "This shows that the Chu people are far from being ready to start a full-scale conflict with us, Wu Yizheng, since you can withdraw tomorrow, I want to arrange it overnight, Wu Yizheng has come from afar to work hard, so let's go and rest first!" Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone come and invite you."

"It's okay, this road is at the top, but I almost broke my bones, I didn't notice this matter in the country before, when I arrived in Chu State, I saw the road of Chu State, and I felt that the country was good. This Chu country is still the richest country in this continent, and it doesn't even have a decent road." Wu Qi stroked his waist, stood up, walked a few steps towards the door of the big tent, and turned around: "Commander Zhang, after you go back this time, you are very likely to be held accountable, no matter what, the new first army is a big defeat this time, and it is the biggest defeat in history, tens of thousands of people are encircled, and the whole country is in an uproar!" There are many voices in the court demanding that you be punished, and the king is also very embarrassed."

Zhang Hongyu smiled: "Thank you Wu Yizheng for the reminder, in fact, I know very well in my heart that this battle was originally my problem, and it was my light enemy that led to this big defeat. Of course I have to be responsible. You can rest assured."

"Well, it's not a bad thing to take a break for a while!" Wu Biquge nodded www.biquge.info, turned around and walked out, before setting off to Chu State, several councilors in the council hall had a preliminary handling opinion, Zhang Hongyu must be able to carry the responsibility, and Ye Chong of the military department must also bear some responsibility, although it was the king who finally approved this action, but after the fact, we must think of ways to get rid of the king's responsibility, an invincible king, for the morale of the army and the people of the Han State is very important.

This night, Wu Qi slept very soundly, which Chinese army camp has been the sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and military horns, but this is his own army's own barracks, compared to the luxurious post house of the Chu people, he slept more steadily. (To be continued......)
