War is a transaction, and soldiers are like bargaining chips.

When you go to the battlefield, you are no longer human, and your life is no longer your life.

Sacrifice is only worth and not worth for the commander, but who would have thought that behind the word "value", how many lives will be lost.

Ci is not in charge of the army, which may be reasonable. But who can not say that this is indeed cruel.

There are only two words to measure the success or failure of a war - victory.

The winner is the king, and the loser is Kou.

War is a gamble.

Before starting, try to choose a good wind direction for yourself, pick a good place, form a good momentum, and set up obstacles for the other party as much as possible to cause deterrence. But at the beginning of the war, everything is like gambling, and perhaps the hard work that has been prepared for a long time will be blown by a breeze, a drizzle will fall, and the advantages will be exchanged in an instant, and victory and defeat will change hands.

This battle also made Baili Wuji deeply reflect, the enemy sometimes does not need to be killed, and can surrender without a fight, once the camp is changed, the enemy who was still fighting each other with his life just now becomes his own person in an instant.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army couldn't accept it, and Baili Wuji couldn't accept it in his heart.

But can you not accept it? It can only be accepted. Because the enemy who surrenders is also a human being, and if it is a human being, it should be forgiven, and it is human beings who always have human nature.

Therefore, Baili Wuji accepted Zhou Xingfeng's surrender.

Therefore, even though the soldiers of the Black Flag Army could not accept it in their hearts, they had no objection to Baili Wuji's acceptance of the surrender of the Chu army.

Perhaps, in the next war, no, maybe only one battle is needed, and these soldiers who are still hostile to each other will become comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who can be entrusted to the back.

This is also, human nature.

Uncle Pan, the envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, has read Zhou Xingfeng's letter of persuasion for the fifth time.

The hero's sense of honor made him unable to allow himself to surrender.

Even though he really doesn't have a good impression of Ma Xifan, let alone loyalty.

But it's really hard to make the decision to surrender on your own.

Although Uncle Pan was very interested in Zhou Xingfeng's subordinates' harassment of Yuezhou.

But it does not affect his respect for Zhou Xingfeng.

They are all mixed up from the Jingjiang soldiers, and what can make the brave admire more than their military exploits.

Uncle Pan believed what Zhou Xingfeng said in his letter. No brave man will praise an incompetent enemy, even after having to surrender, he will not be so flattering, this is the difference between a military general and a civilian official.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you want to win sincere praise, there is no other way than to really beat yourself down.

The rout of thousands of forbidden troops in Yuezhou City also proves that what Zhou Xingfeng said in his letter is true.

Could it be that the Black Flag Army is really so terrifying?

Uncle Pan already believed it in his heart.

But still hesitating.

He naturally knew the importance of Yuezhou to Tanzhou, and as soon as Yuezhou was lost, the door of Chudu was opened, and Tanzhou was directly exposed to the Black Flag Army.

The state of Chu ......, is there still a state of Chu?

If it is not surrendered, Zhou Xingfeng's 10,000 forbidden army will still be defeated even though the night attack is almost successful, and how long can the 10,000 government army under his command last. Even if there are thousands of forbidden troops in the rout, what is the use.

People who served in the army know that 30,000 defeated soldiers are not as good as 300 elite soldiers, and there are many examples of tens of thousands of defeated soldiers being chased by hundreds of elite soldiers and fleeing everywhere. The only use of this group of defeated soldiers who had been frightened was to waste the food of Yuezhou City, and without a month or two of repair, the fear of the defeated soldiers for the Black Flag Army could not be eliminated, let alone fight again.

Let the rout soldiers go into battle, and there is only one consequence, that is, to flee with the government army under his command.

Uncle Pan really can't think about it, he is not a good parent official, he is just a competent general, his duty is to guard the land and secure the people, but now the facts can no longer guard the land, so naturally he can't calm the people.

Therefore, since it is impossible to think, Uncle Pan can only choose to negotiate with the Black Flag Army.

Negotiation actually has another name, which is called peace talks.

Naturally, peace talks are peace talks, but everyone knows that peace talks are the one with the upper hand that has the final say.

It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to get what you can't get on the battlefield at the negotiating table.

But Uncle Pan had to try, for the sake of the people of Yuezhou, for the sake of his 10,000 soldiers,...... And also for the honor of their own soldiers.

"Baili envoy, if you want to surrender the city, you must agree to certain conditions."

Five miles outside the city, Uncle Pan's choice of this distance to negotiate with Baili Wuji was after careful consideration.

This distance can not only ensure the safety of both sides, but also form an invisible pressure on the other side with the towering walls of Yuezhou. Uncle Pan hoped that this pressure would allow him and his men to end the war with dignity.

Baili Wuji smiled modestly: "Although Pan Envoy Jun speaks, he will consider it carefully." ”

"After a certain dedication of the city, I hope to still retain the military structure under my command, of course, a certain will let the army withdraw from Yuezhou City according to the rules and camp outside the city, I don't know if the envoy of Baili can accept it."

"Exactly."

"I want to keep the position of a certain team training officer."

The regimental training envoy, whose full name is the regimental training guard and capture envoy, is responsible for the military official position of one party's regimental training. There are two types of regimental training envoys: capital regimental training envoys and state regimental training envoys, both of which are responsible for commanding the local self-defense forces, and their status is lower than that of the jiedu envoys. Generally, the regimental training envoys are mostly concurrently served by the observation envoys, and the state regimental training envoys are often concurrently served by the assassins.

"Exactly. However, Pan Envoy Jun chose the Yuezhou regiment training envoy, so he could no longer serve as the assassin of Yuezhou, and Gyeongju regulated that the military generals only held military posts and were not allowed to interfere with local administration. Of course, you can choose freely between the assassin and the regimental trainer. ”

"It's ......." Uncle Pan was a little disappointed, he has always had three powers in the military, government and finance, but now he can only choose one, which is really a little disappointed.

"Pan Yuanjun doesn't have to be in a hurry, think about it slowly, and talk about what other conditions there are."

"After the city is surrendered, a certain army of 10,000 troops will not participate in any military operations against any Chu land in the Chu State, and please ask the Baili envoy to be considerate."

"Exactly. Anything else? ”

"This ......, I don't know what ...... a request?"

"Please."

"I hope that the 10,000 government army of XX will get the same supply configuration as the Black Flag Army. I don't know if the envoy of Baili can allow it. ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......."

Baili Wuji raised his head and smiled.

Uncle Pan was apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't understand why Baili Wuji was smiling.

After a short pause, Baili Wuji finished laughing, looked at Uncle Pan and said, "If Pan Envoy Jun wants to get the supply configuration with the Black Flag Army, he can only tell you that there is only one way to achieve it. ”

"Please make it clear to you."

"Accept the reorganization."

"Uh....... Don't know how to reorganize? Uncle Pan felt a faint pain in his heart.

Baili Wuji thought for a while, looked at Uncle Pan and said: "Eliminate the wounded, sick, old and disabled, according to the current establishment of the Black Flag Army, it will be reorganized into two compartments, with a total of 9,000 people. ”

"Dare to ask, how to arrange the officers under the command?"

"Remain the status quo ante. However, a certain association arranged for the adjutants of the Black Flag Army to conduct training for the army in the establishment above the battalion level. ”

"Hmm...... Is it permissible for consideration? ”

"Yes, Pan Envoy Jun will please, I can give you six hours, and I won't wait for it."
