Zhang Hongyu is dead!

The three generals in front of him knelt on the ground one after another, Wu Qi's body shook, if it weren't for the guards behind him tightly supporting him, maybe he would really fall.

Zhang Hongyu was wearing a brand-new military uniform, sitting behind the big case, facing the door of the big tent, there was no pain on his face, but extremely calm, a short sword was inserted into his heart, and the blood flowed down the handle of the short sword, merging into a red stream under the big case, and was meandering like a snake crawling on the ground.

The short sword was not handled until it was handled, which shows how resolute and indomitable Zhang Hongyu's sword stabbed at him was.

"Bastard!" Wu Qi suddenly roared angrily, "Zhang Hongyu, you bastard." ”

Hearing Wu Qi's scolding, Dong Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up, and Dong Zhuang, who was crying tears and snot, stared at Wu Qi angrily, his fist clenched so loudly that he couldn't swing it over.

"Zhang Hongyu, you are a bastard, you are not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of? Don't you even have the courage to live, don't you have the courage to face this failure? Are you afraid of facing the fingers of a thousand people? You're a coward. Wu Qi roared, stepping forward step by step, stepping on the winding red stream, stepping on red footprints one by one.

On top of the big case, there are two stacks of manuscripts, one is a letter to King Gao Yuan of Han, and the other is a letter to all the officers and soldiers of the New First Army, the cover is towards the door of the big tent, Wu Qi can hardly imagine that a person can be so meticulous before deciding to die.

Holding the desk with both hands, Wu Qi stared at the deceased opposite, his heart was really mixed with sweet and sour, I don't know what it tasted like? He is a politician, and it is difficult to understand the psychology of a soldier like Zhang Hongyu, in Wu Qi's heart, as long as people are alive, they have a chance to make a comeback. And when a man dies like a lamp goes out, there is nothing left.

Cui Chengxiu cried silently, and now he finally remembered the conversation between Zhang Hongyu and him that day, and understood why Zhang Hongyu wanted to issue an order to all officers above the regiment, so that he could act as the commander of the new First Army in a special period and without him, and he had long been determined to die.

He did not want to leave the battlefield in such a way and he did not want to return to the country in such a way, and he took all the responsibility for this defeat on his shoulders. And to protect the officers of the New First Army to the maximum. Cui Chengxiu knew what Zhang Hongyu was worried about, and he was worried about whether the new First Army could still exist?

Cui Chengxiu got up from the ground and looked at Gao Chengdong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and the military staff officers who came in later, "All stand up!" He shouted.

Tucheng, the Chu army, which surrounded the New First Army, made a gap of about five miles, and the soldiers of the New First Army would withdraw from the Pengcheng area and return to Suiyang all the way. On a high ground, a Chu army flag danced swaggeringly in the wind, under the military flag. He sat on a large chair and wanted to watch the invincible Han army retreat from his feet in embarrassment.

This is very close to the retreat route of the Han army, and Bi Xuan had vigorously opposed Qu Wan doing so, here. If one of the retreating Han troops launched a madness and launched a surprise attack, Qu would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. You know, the New First Army retreated heavily armed. Even if they are hungry for so many days, sometimes, hatred can give a person infinite power. It's like bending to the present.

But Qu Wan insisted on it. Bi Xuan had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany him, and brought hundreds of cavalry guards to protect him, once something happened, he rode on his horse and left this dangerous place, the other party's war horses should not be much, in the long siege, their war horses were used as food into the stomachs of the soldiers.

"Bi Xuan, after this battle, you are about to be promoted." Qu Wan smiled and groaned.

"Thank you for cultivating the General." Bi Xuan bowed and said, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

"No, it's not my cultivation, it's your ability, you have contributed a lot to this battle!" Qu Wan sighed and said: "Although the battle between Chu and Han is due to various reasons, the two sides have temporarily compromised with each other, but the two sides will never stop there, the current Han State is just like the previous Qin State, ambitious, and wants to dominate the world, and our king has been shocked by these two years, and he has come to think that he has become much more sober, with the vast land and wealth of Chu State, and there are many people, why can't we do what they want to do?" The powerful state of Chu has woken up, and he will surely burst out with terrifying power. ”

Bending Wan waved his arms vigorously in the air. "The king coordinates the overall situation, Huang Shoufu is the prime minister, Qu Taiwei is in charge of the soldiers and horses, one after another strong forces will be born from the land of Chu, they will be thrown into the battlefield, give full play to their strength, we are not short of money, not bad people, what is lacking is the heart, what is bad is arrogance, this big victory is enough to greatly invigorate the hearts of the people."

"The general is right, the victory in this great battle also proves that the Han army is not invincible, we are like them in destroying the Qin army over the years, and the reckless warriors will surely lose. The Han State is not profound, but it has been conscripted for many years, constantly consuming their already not strong national strength, as long as our Great Chu straightens up the backbone, it can drag them to death. Bi Xuan said loudly.

Qu Wan narrowed his eyes, "After this battle, the two sides will not be stationed from Tucheng to Sanchuan, then Pengcheng will become our first line of defense, here, a standing army of 50,000 people will be stationed, fully equipped, and all of them are elites who have been on the battlefield, for a long time, this will be our first line against the Han State, General Bi Xuan, you will become the supreme commander of this army." ”

"Thank you for the cultivation of the Great General." Bi Xuan said gratefully, before he was only the town guard of Pengcheng, and the army he led was only more than 10,000 people, among the generals of Great Chu, he was not obvious at all, but this time he stepped into the ranks of generals. Not only in charge of Pengcheng, but also in the whole of Xuzhou, the guards in all these places should also be included in his command, so that he can command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

"I just recommended you, or is it because of the talent you showed in this war that the king, Shoufu and Qu Taiwei value you, our military confrontation with the Han State will start from now on, and there is no need for those guys who can only talk about it in the Chu army, what we need is a down-to-earth general with real skills, otherwise the consequences of a war with the Han State in the future will be unimaginable." Taiwei Qu is cutting out mediocre personnel and rearming the army, Bi Xuan, the next era will be the era of our soldiers, or, we will create a new Dachu. ”

"I am willing to do my best for the prosperity of Dachu!" Bi Xuan said with a straight face, looking at the dark black soil under his feet, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, if Yu Ping was still alive, how good it would be!

"General, General Bi, they're here." One person rushed over, but it was Liu An, the general from Luliuzhuang, who was now the general of the left army under Bi Xuan, and with Bi Xuan's ascension, it would be expected that his status would rise.

"Are you here? Okay, let's take a good look at the military might of the Han army! He smiled with a smile on his face. A soldier who has been defeated and starved for so many days still has military might? I'm afraid some of them are just depressed, right? To be able to watch this army that once made itself so big leave in an extremely embarrassed posture here will be a gorgeous piece of music in my military career.

Are you in danger? Of course not, the Han people have extremely strict military discipline, even if some of them hate themselves so much, they will not make a move to threaten themselves.

A black line appeared in the field of vision, getting closer and closer, and finally clearly presented in Qu Wan's field of vision, and at the forefront was the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Han Kingdom. Behind them, groups of infantry were coming in line.

"What are they holding in their hands?" Qu Wan turned his head and asked Liu An behind him. Liu An is in charge of guarding, and he should have found out all these things.

"Back to the generals, they are holding urns in their hands, this time the Han soldiers who died here, they burned it, and then brought the ashes back to China, in fact, this is also the tradition of the Han army, no matter where they fight, they will think of bringing back the remains of the robe, if because of the weather, distance, they will also bring the ashes back for burial." Liu An bowed his head and said: "There is a slogan in the Han army, which is to never give up on anyone. The general thinks that it can greatly boost morale. ”

Staring at Liu An for a moment, Qu Wan suddenly laughed, and looked back at Bi Xuan beside him, "Your subordinates are full of talents, and one Yu Ping died, isn't there another one, so we have outstanding people in Dachu, and there are many talents, only those who have not been discovered, and there are never worries about no talents."

Liu An was quite happy when he heard Feng Qu's praise, but the more he listened, the more frightened the people became, and involuntarily, a cold sweat oozed slightly from his vest. Yes, there are many talents, so no one is indispensable, just like Yu Ping, those who need to be sacrificed will be abandoned without scruples.

In the distance, the banner of the Chinese army was waving, Qu Wan eagerly opened his eyes, wanting to see his subordinates defeated, feng shui turned, more than a year ago, he was driven by Zhang Hongyu and Bai Yucheng's coalition army to flee to Daba Mountain like a wild dog, today, he can stand here in good order, watching Zhang Hongyu, the water dog, leave in embarrassment.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, there is no Zhang Hongyu, but there is a coffin. Around the coffin were a group of heavily armed soldiers, who, unlike the others, had a white cloth tied to their helmets. (To be continued......)
