How is it, what is not.

Lu Zhe didn't have time to eat Sima Xin's troops, and the withdrawal of troops had become a reality, and the arrival of the edict delegation was actually a good thing no matter what the edict said.

Qin Guoke still didn't know about Xiang Liang leading an army of 150,000 troops to force Lujiang County, and they didn't know that Lu Zhe would be threatened if he didn't withdraw his troops, and they would only feel that Lu Zhe was compromised, and it was the kind of compromise made after winning a few times.

Feng Zai, who had not fully performed his duties, felt that something was very wrong, and he took the initiative to resign and wanted to think about it carefully.

The edict did not say all the deployments, at least Sima Xin's troops would stay in Nanjun and become part of the Southern Xinjiang Army, Feng Zheng had not mentioned it to Lu Zhe, he left with confusion, and most of the team of five hundred people were left in Lu Zhe's camp, and only a dozen or so people went to Sima Xin's camp.

Sima Xin's troops were crippled, and it was absolutely impossible to restore their combat strength in a short period of time, which was recognized by the center before the edict was issued. At the same time as the First Emperor sent people to deliver the decree, he had already issued a second round of conscription orders in Guanzhong and the counties and counties that controlled the Qin State, and within three months, he would send at least 300,000 young men to supplement the Central Plains Army.

In Xianyang's expectations, the possibility of Lu Zhe receiving the order is less than thirty percent, if he receives the order, let Sima Xin's department be merged into the Southern Xinjiang Army, and Sima Xin will also become the second general of the Southern Xinjiang Army.

Plague! Massive contagious disease! It will be impossible for the sick soldier to recover for a while, and it is even unknown whether it can be cured.

If Lü Zhe accepted the order, then he could not refuse to merge Sima Xin's troops into the Southern Xinjiang Army, and it became Lü Zhe's responsibility to treat the soldiers who had epidemics, and the Qin State could be regarded as leaving such a force to monitor Lü Zhe.

Many people may find it strange and dismissive, thinking that receiving orders is not the same thing as leaving a threatening army, but in fact from the moment they receive orders. Lu Zhe really couldn't refuse to merge Sima Xin's troops into the Southern Xinjiang Army, because legally speaking, he became the general of the Qin State "again", so what's wrong with Sima Xin's troops staying in Nanjun? Since there is nothing wrong with it, it is an individual who will want to control it within a controllable range, is there a more appropriate reason than to make this unit a subordinate?

A regime that wants to calculate people will not have only one set of plans, and in the end, if Lu Zhe refuses to merge Sima Xin's troops into the Southern Xinjiang Army, then how should this army go? All right! Even if it is over, Sima Xin's department does not move, should it be time to restart the war? started fighting again, and Xianyang gave up such a remnant army. Could there be worse outcomes?

It's a very complicated and very simple thing, and the popular point is "I've lost everything, and what I want to lose can work or not, and what should be lost will be lost".

It's just that Lu Zhe doesn't have time to waste it! After receiving the edict, the mission had secretly ordered the troops to prepare for the camp, and once they had supervised the withdrawal of Sima Xin's troops, they would immediately march to Lujiang County.

When Feng Zheng arrived at the Qin camp, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was very ...... Bleak?

Yes. It's bleak. Every Qin pawn looked dejected, and they couldn't walk straight as if their spine had been broken.

Originally, even if the morale was low, it would not be like this, but Xianyang sent an edict mission, and just now I heard Lu Zhejun shouting in unison. said that Lu Zhe was promoted to the general of Zhengnan and entered the knighthood, and the soldiers thought that it was their own incompetence that led to this result.

"The central reward for the enemy's commander will be in exchange for his own safety to withdraw his troops" This is a clear thing, whether or not the epidemic caused such an outcome, is there anything more shameful for an army than this? It's strange to be able to straighten your back!

When Feng Zheng saw Sima Xin. Sima Xin had just woken up from a coma.

Sima Xin immediately struggled to get up when he saw Feng Zheng, his pale face had an expression of shame and wanted to die, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xin is incompetent. I'm really ashamed to be ...... to Your Majesty."

I don't know if I'm incompetent, but I'm sure I'm sorry for my majesty. Feng Zai didn't have a good face towards Sima Xin: "Second General Zuo, kneel down and listen to His Majesty's instructions." ”

Sima Xin didn't let people help him, he trembled and crawled on his own for a while before kneeling down.

"His Majesty ordered Sima Xin's troops to be merged into the Southern Xinjiang Army." Feng Zheng quickly finished speaking, and asked again: "Do you understand?" ”

"What...... What the? Sima Xin didn't understand.

"Humph! Your unit has been transferred from the establishment of the Central Plains Army and will be incorporated into Lu Hou's Southern Xinjiang Army. Feng Zheng looked at Sima Xin's face full of puzzlement, and really looked down on such an incompetent and stupid guy, and said bluntly: "In the future, you will be the deputy general of the Southern Xinjiang Army." His Majesty ordered you to lead the army by Lu Zhe's side, one is to personally monitor Lu Zhe, and the other is to supervise the southern attack on Baiyue and cooperate with the Central Plains Army to attack Chudi. ”

Sima Xin understands, but Lu Zhe is not a fool, how can he accept such a thing? He looked at Feng Zheng with some dumbfounded, his throat became dry, and he tentatively said, "Lu ...... Lu Hou? The first emperor sealed Chehou, who said that he couldn't name anything, "When he was incorporated into the Southern Xinjiang Army, Lu Hou? ”

Feng Zheng shook his head, "I haven't talked to Lu Hou about this matter yet," he found a place to sit on his knees, "You can tell you the story of the battle first." ”

It's not that complicated, Sima Xin described the process of the forward coming to attack the fort and some field battles, and when he said that there was another big battle of more than 100,000 people on both sides in the early hours of this morning, Feng Zheng's face suddenly changed.

"Early this morning?" had to change, Feng Zheng had been in the army for almost two days, and Lu Zhe obviously had the intention of receiving the order and set up a bureau to fight a big battle, so he had to let him deliberate.

"Yes. In the early morning battle, our army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the enemy ...... This ......" can no longer be called the enemy, Sima Xin didn't know what to call for a while, so he simply called "Lu Zhejun" directly, and after a pause, he seemed to be thinking: "Should they lose less than 5,000?" ”

Moved, Feng Zheng couldn't help but be moved, most of the soldiers of the Central Plains Army were conscripts, those veterans who had fought the battle of reunification, and almost all the middle and lower-level officers such as the army, Shi, Tun, hundred generals, and military marquis had gone through dozens of battles, and even if the high-level army was incompetent, the whole army would not be weak. The loss of 20,000 only caused less than 5,000 casualties to Lu Zhe's army, doesn't that mean that the Central Plains Army is weaker than Lu Zhe's army, which has been in army for less than a year?

"This ...... Our army was affected by the epidemic, and the morale of the army was low. Besides, the enemy army set up a strong defense last night, and they have equipment troops and crossbow troops that surpass our army......" Sima Xin said more and more quietly, his explanation was very pale, after all, a loss is a loss.

Except for the 20,000 who had never participated in the battle in Shandu, there were only less than 40,000 combat strength left in the camp here, 40,000 soldiers who were infected with the epidemic, and nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers, Feng Zai was relieved after hearing this: "There are still 110,000 ......."

"That's not how it counts." Sima Xin couldn't help but tell the truth, if Feng Zheng misjudged it, it would be a big deal, he said: "The mortality rate of the epidemic is very high, there are thousands of soldiers who die every day, and the epidemic and sea disasters continue to spread, and no one can say how many people will be left in the end." ”

Feng Zai understood as soon as he heard it, but he didn't say anything, and said lightly: "The medicinal materials you requested have been delivered to the government of Nanyang County, and the fighting has stopped, and it will arrive in the camp in three or five days." With medicinal herbs......" Speaking of this, he thought of something, and his expression was very strange: "There is no epidemic in the army of Lu Hou?" ”

Sima Xin was very dazed, he sent soldiers with epidemic disease to fight during several small-scale trials between the two armies, in fact, he wanted to spread the epidemic to Lu Zhe's army, but half of it was over, and he didn't know whether Lu Zhe was tightly sealed or really not infected, and indeed he did not detect the news of the outbreak of the epidemic in Lu Zhe's army.

"I'm sure of one thing!" Feng Zheng was extremely stern: "When you led the army to come, Lu Zhe really still had the 'Qin' character banner planted in the garrisons everywhere, and the soldiers under his command wore Qin-style battle robes?" ”

This matter is well known to everyone, and Sima Xin did not hesitate to answer.

"Incomprehensible......" Feng Zheng thought of Zhao Gao, some of the words said by the CRRC government order now do not seem to be unfounded, and the reports that have been learned have indeed proved that many rumors are from Xiang's handwriting, and now it is clear from Sima Xin that Lu Zhe has not changed his flag before this: "You don't have to worry about the articles here." ”

Sima Xin didn't have the strength to take care of it, things had changed too much, one moment he was still desperately trying to become Lu Zhe's subordinate the next moment, and he was the kind of subordinate who led the army to monitor and supervise, he suspected that Lu Zhe would not be like a clay puppet at all.

Feng Zheng didn't need to explain too much, since the center had such an arrangement, there must be a follow-up layout, and it was enough for Sima Xin to just follow orders.

"That'...... Xin is now sending someone to transfer back the 20,000 troops on the Shandu side? Sima Xin asked.

Feng Zheng is an edict envoy, how can he interfere with Sima Xin's command. In fact, after listening to Sima Xin's deployment, he also felt that it was really bad luck, if there was no epidemic ravaging Sima Xin's arrangement would really have the feasibility of success, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Straighten out the army and convey your majesty's will to all the officials." Feng Zai said and stood up, he wouldn't stay here for long at all, and he had to go back and ask to see Lu Zhe and finish a series of things as soon as possible.

Feng Zheng left, but Sima Xin's mind was in chaos, he really couldn't understand how the situation had become so incomprehensible?

And it seems that Sima Xin thought about it carefully, and in less than a year to establish this situation, no matter which aspect it seems, Lu Zhe is not a fool, he neither understands why Lu Zhe accepted the order, nor can he guess whether what Feng Zheng wants to do can achieve his goal.

On the other side, when Lu Zhe learned that Sima Xin's troops would be merged into the Southern Xinjiang Army, he looked at Feng Zheng who said the news, and his face was surprised, speechless, and confused...... Anyway, I didn't understand it, and it was very exciting for a while that my face kept changing. (To be continued......)
