After leaving the palace, the sky was already completely dark, and a light rain fell on Kong Ming and the others, walking on the quiet street, Kong Ming's heart was like a stone pressing, heavy and abnormal, Xiang Tiancheng did not make up his mind, so that Kong Ming could not grasp his thoughts, Kong Ming knew that he would definitely choose the best strategy, although he did not give Kong Ming a clear answer, but there will inevitably be a shocking war in the future, it is impossible for Harvey to let the Grand Duke of Chu leave this place comfortably, this Kong Ming did not mention to Xiang Tiancheng。 And what kind of course this big battle will go, Kong Ming can't be sure, but Kong Ming knows that it must be a bloody battle.

"Chief, where are we going?" asked Kate, who had been waiting in the palace all day, and when they saw the chaotic scene, they were indeed very depressed, and even more depressed when they saw Kong Ming like this.

"Find a bar and let's go have a drink. Kong Ming replied, after a series of tears, what is more exciting than finding a bar to have a drink?

"Haha, I know the boss's confidant! Walk, I know where there is a bar. Deng Qichen shouted.

......

The four of them soon returned to the barracks, and after entering the house, Deng Qichen threw his sword on the table, and said angrily: "Damn, don't even let the bar open if you fight a war, what kind of world?"

"Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, how is this night going?" said Kate, thinking that after staying in the army for so long, even the most elegant magician has become almost like a bandit.

"Count the stars, go back to sleep now, and have a job tomorrow." Kong Ming said.

Everyone reluctantly left the empty room.

Kong Ming waited for three days, Xiang Tiancheng didn't even give Kong Ming any news, but the three battalions that Kong Ming dispersed all came back, and they also came back after a battle, but the casualties were not very large, and after the magic battalion came back, they went directly to the palace to report, after all, they did not belong to Kong Ming's jurisdiction, and they had no obligation to follow Kong Ming all the time. Thinking of his days with Brooke, Kong Ming couldn't help but shush a little. Just when Kong Ming thought that he would continue to grind like this, the order to convene a meeting on the fourth day came down, and all the officers above the regimental level were sent to the palace for a meeting.

Walking into the hall of the palace, Kong Ming saw a large number of officers standing in the hall according to the formation, or there were some vacant seats in the middle, Kong Ming looked at the people who did not find the third cavalry division, so he stood behind the commander of the cavalry army with everyone, and those officers of the cavalry army felt very strange when they saw Kong Ming, so they inquired into each other, you must know that due to the failure of the field, many officers have been changed several times, and even the establishment of many troops has been eliminated, and some new units have been formed, so not all people know, but even so, because most of these officers have been trained together, they are relatively familiarAt this time, seeing such a stranger as Kong Ming coming in, it was very conspicuous. Kong Ming didn't care much about this, because after they came back, they were assigned to the new cavalry corps, as an independent third regiment, and he himself went to the military headquarters to report, but he didn't expect that only they were left in the third cavalry division. But I think there are some acquaintances, after all, he has been a staff officer under Xiang Zuoding for a period of time, and he has met one or two regiment commanders. After a while, the voices of those who were discussing Kong Ming became quieter, and the number of people discussing the battle situation increased, but it didn't sound like everyone was too optimistic about this battle. Kong Ming stood there and waited for a while, listening carefully to the words of the other people, and after a while, he was not interested, and couldn't help but think of what to do in the future, after this battle, it was time to go back to the Huayuan Empire to continue studying, as a magician, knowledge is the most important. I don't know what happened to those senior brothers, and the woman who used to have a skin relationship with me doesn't know how she is doing, but I don't have to wait until this battle is over to have an explanation, otherwise I won't even have my life, and I'll be empty, and I will mention something else. Just thinking about it, I felt that the hall suddenly quieted down, Kong Ming looked at the gate, and saw the Minister of War Seville walking in front, and behind him was followed by several senior generals of Chu State, in addition, the Grand Duke of Chu State and other civil servants were gone, that is to say, now the people in the hall are all soldiers, Kong Ming felt a trance from it Thinking that those nobles have already left Chu Capital, and the rest are soldiers and civilians who have not left, Kong Ming sighed in his heart, thinking that those nobles just need a reason to leave, or as early as the start of the war, Their families have long left this place of war, not to mention the family property, and what they are chattering here is just for outsiders to see, now that the Grand Duke has left, they no longer need a reason to stay, but if they all leave, then they will not be able to give an explanation to all the people, so the soldiers stayed, this may be Kong Ming's last battle in the Chu State, this battle is not about honor, but about life, you must know that Kong Ming has been here for more than half a year, and he has fought more than a dozen battles for the Chu State, and several of the major battles were fought without resistance with the Harvey Empire in a very aggrieved situation, which can be described as nine deaths, and now it is finally the final battle, and after this battle, he can justifiably return to the Huayuan Empire to continue his studies.

When Kong Ming was thinking about it, Sevier finally spoke: "Everyone, the day before yesterday, the Grand Duke and all the ministers have left the teleportation array, and most of the civilians have left the capital, and now we are the only ones left, because the ability of the teleportation array is limited, so we can't teleport more people, for the future of the Chu country, we need someone to stay as a guard, hold on for a while, and then leave the capital!"

As soon as Sewell's words fell, it caused everyone's surprise, because most of them heard of these news, like Kong Ming, for the first time, it can be seen how well Xiang Tiancheng has done a good job of secrecy in this regard, thinking that he must have learned the lessons of the past, otherwise even most of the people present would not know that he had left the capital, but Kong Ming turned to think about it, this is not the result of Harvey pretending to be deaf and dumb, because the departure of the Grand Duke directly proves that the resistance of the Chu State has come to an end, and letting Xiang Tiancheng leave also allows him to have a bad image in the hearts of the Chu people, and he wants to come after that, Those who have the ability will never follow Xiang Tiancheng to fight back, because a person who abandons a soldier on the battlefield, the soldier will also abandon him, from this aspect, Xiang Tiancheng is undoubtedly a failure; on the contrary, even if he leaves with the soldier, he will undoubtedly get more support from the military in the future war, but at this time, Kong Ming has no illusions about the military of Chu. At the moment of Sewell's announcement, the hall was like ice cubes thrown into a hot oil pot, and it burst open, and sure enough, just as Kong Ming expected, Xiang Tiancheng's image in the army's upper echelons instantly dropped to a freezing point, and the officers who abandoned their subordinates at a critical time were people who were despised, and they were people who could not be reassured. Kong Ming could even imagine that Xiang Tiancheng's actions even had the back of Harvey's spy.

"Hey!" Kong Ming couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at those chirping officers, Kong Ming's heart couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this situation, the Minister of War, Sewell, had nothing to say for a while, although he could expect some different reactions, but he did not expect the officers' reactions to be so big, he coughed a few times, and the adjutant standing next to him was also a very discerning person, seeing Sewell's ugly face, he hurriedly shouted: "Be quiet, be quiet!" Everyone is a fairly first-class officer, and if it were in normal times, this kind of voice from him would give some face, but now even they are annoyed, where will they give face to an adjutant. And when everyone saw that several army commanders did not react at all, how could they expect him to be a small adjutant? The voice in the hall not only did not decrease, but became louder. Of course, there are a few people who are silent and thinking about the way forward. Seeing this situation, Sewell's face was even worse, although he had also escaped from such a group of people, but at this time, he couldn't help but have a disdain for them, without a little demeanor. However, although he was annoyed, things always had to be done, and he glanced at the adjutant who saw the support of the Minister of War, and his heart became more emboldened, and he touched his throat with his hand, and his fighting spirit sank, and a wolf-like voice rushed out of his mouth. As soon as this roar came out, the people in the hall immediately looked at it in surprise, and for a while the hall was full of pins dropping, and the adjutant couldn't help but feel weak in his heart when he saw so many people looking at it, and lowered his head and looked at the ground not far ahead, as if this sound was not made by him. After seeing everyone calm down, Sewell's heart couldn't help but calm down, although the focus of everyone's eyes was not on him, but at least

I've seen it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Duke has already arranged the work before leaving, as long as everyone does what is arranged, I believe that everyone here can evacuate here safely, and the heavy generals who will drive the Harvey people out of the Chu State will later. Looking at everyone's disbelieving looks, Sewell felt a little empty in his heart, after all, he was not sure about this at all. After a pause, Sewell took his steps, and then said: "After the discussion between the Grand Duke and the ministers, our Chu State decided to form an alliance with the Huayuan Empire, and the Huayuan Empire also agreed to this alliance, but asked the Grand Duke to stay in the Huayuan Imperial Capital as a hostage. Minister of State Lei Yekun and other ministers have already reached the Song State bordering the Huayuan Empire through the Guò teleportation array, and there they have made contact with the reinforcements of the Huayuan Empire, and after discussions between the two sides, our army withdrew from the Chu State, and the Song State withdrew to the Huayuan Empire for training, leaving part of the army to organize resistance forces in the country, and one of them was ambushed, and when we counterattacked in the future, we would cooperate with our army. For the sake of secrecy, the specific plan is now discussed by several commanders and I in the back, and the rest of the personnel are not to leave the hall. ”

After saying that, he walked directly out of the hall, and the commanders saw this, and after ordering a few words to their subordinates, they also followed.

Two hours later, several military commanders came in, but the military secretary did not come in again, presumably arranging other matters. The commander of the cavalry corps left the palace with a cadre of cavalry officers and returned to the military headquarters. After everyone sat down, the first thing the commander said was: "Everyone, let's break off!"
