At around 4 a.m., in the Nanhu District 7, the Chen General Headquarters.

"The army in Jiangzhou's main city has nearly 30,000 people. He still has more than 20,000 garrison troops near Jiujiang and Qiulonghe. So many people turned around and ran away without firing a shot in the front. Is this kind of commander bloody? Do you have a little sense of responsibility?!" A lieutenant general cursed in the conference room with great anger: "This is purely a commander escape, a shame to the Chen clan!"

The conference room was silent, and the faces of the Chen generals looked very ugly. They were completely unacceptable to Chen Jun's practice of abandoning Jiangzhou without resisting.

"Chang him back immediately." Chen Zhongqi, who presided over the meeting, said expressionlessly: "Let him come back and explain the problem in person."

"Come back? I think he can't come back." A major general interrupted sarcastically: "When he returned to the headquarters, holding a unit of 60,000 or 70,000 people in his hand, how could he come back to carry this thunder? I think he will at most send a report to the headquarters tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard soldiers suddenly walked into the room and stood beside the Chief of Staff and whispered: "Commander Chen Jun is back."

The Chief of Staff was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Let him in."

"Yes!" After hearing the sound, the guards turned around and left.

The Chief of Staff looked at the major general, hugged his shoulder and said, "You are really wrong. He is back."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and no one said anything, but their faces became even more gloomy.

After a while, Chen Jun walked into the room alone, turned his head and looked at everyone, but he could not find his father.

"Xiao Jun, why did your Jiangzhou Corps give up defense without firing a single shot?" asked the Chief of Staff.

Chen Jun looked up at him, then looked at his uncle and Chen Feng, then suddenly pulled out his gun, walked slowly to the conference table, and placed the gun on the table.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Jun expressionlessly, not knowing what he meant.

"sorry!"

Chen Jun bowed deeply to everyone in the room and said in a trembling voice: "It was my poor command that led to the fall of Jiangzhou. I am willing to take responsibility!"

Everyone was confused. They originally thought that the eldest son would get angry about the previous house arrest and pushed the responsibility of Jiangzhou's loss to the level of cooperation between the upper and Zhou regimes, so they did not expect that he would react like this. Not only did he not speak stubbornly, but he had to take the initiative to take responsibility.

"When I was on the plane, I ordered the troops to start landing and return to defense, but the Sichuan Army and the Wu Army fought too fast. Before I could arrive at the front line, the troops outside the main city of Jiangzhou were defeated." Chen Jun said with red eyes: "I considered that the enemy's corps' deployment was too concentrated and they had already launched an offensive posture, and our defenders in Jiangzhou were at a clear disadvantage. If we continue to increase troops to the central station, the subsequent support troops may have been destroyed before they arrived. Once the front and support troops cannot form a response, it will become a tactic of adding fuel to the more they go. So I ordered the corps to give up Jiangzhou to ensure that the main troops of our unit will not have too many casualties."

Chen Jun's words are actually reasonable and well-founded, because the situation of the Jiangzhou Corps is also understood by all the generals here. The main responsibility for this matter is that some people placed under house arrest and wrong judgment on the combat effectiveness of Feng Ji Corps, which led to the Jiangzhou Corps losing the defensive opportunity. So if you really want to hold them accountable, many people in this conference room will take the blame.

Silence. After a brief silence, the lieutenant general who had previously led the attack on Chen Jun was the first to ask: "Why did I hear that you contacted the people from Sichuan Mansion as soon as you got on the plane? You also had to negotiate peace and even ced half of Jiangzhou to the other party to achieve the purpose of a truce?"

Chen Jun immediately replied when he heard the sound: "Uncle Guangming, it's not that I want to truce the battle, but that the Jiangzhou Corps must have time to gather troops to return to defense. I contacted the Sichuan Mansion just to win this time. As long as our troops were deployed, they would not be able to fight in. But I didn't expect that the Sichuan Mansion was also playing tricks with me. Lin Nianlei, a female, actually dragged me up with words... I did not handle this matter well, and underestimated the cohesion and execution of the Sichuan Mansion."

When everyone heard this, they could no longer target Chen Jun, because every word he said was on the point, and his personal attitude was very kind.

Chen Jun looked at the people in the conference room and added again: "Before, I had my opinion on the military and political situation, which was too naive... I thought about the problem so well, underestimated the Sichuan Mansion and Gu Tai'an's determination to integrate. The fall of Jiangzhou is a painful lesson, and it also warned me that any seemingly harmonious military alliance relationship may collapse in an instant. Here I formally express my opinion on the integration of the system, and formally confront the eighth district and the Sichuan military alliance."

"Xiaojun, is this your true thought?" the lieutenant general named Guangming asked with a much more relaxed attitude.

"...I...I'm all lost in the main city of Jiangzhou. Now I'll talk about sitting down and having a peace talk. Isn't that a fool?" Chen Jun replied with a correct attitude: "I agree with everyone's opinion. Let's fight first, and then talk."

"That's right!" Guangming immediately stood up and replied, "You are the prince of the Chen clan and the future successor. You have the same ideas as everyone. Can we old people not praise you? Resistance is not to be the emperor. To put it bluntly, it is to ensure that the Chen clan's overall voice is not weakened, and it also allows us old guys to fight a war for a lifetime and have a good ending in the end."

"Yes, Uncle Guangming, you're right." Chen Jun nodded in agreement.

After saying that, Chen Zhongqi slowly stood up, walked to Chen Jun and patted his shoulder and said, "You can understand the hard work of us, but we did not do these things in vain. If Jiangzhou is temporarily lost, just let the Sichuan Prefecture and Zhou clan do it first, we will get it back sooner or later."

"Yes, second uncle." Chen Jun lowered his head and replied.

"Jiangzhou is lost, and the garrison area of ​​your corps is gone. What are you going to do?" Chen Zhongqi asked softly.

Chen Jun looked up at his second uncle and the group of people staring at him in the conference hall, and immediately replied: "My Corps is willing to go back to defend Nanshanghai and take a break."

"I think it's OK." Chen Zhongqi immediately echoed: "Let Guangming's troops garrison on the Jiangzhou border, and transfer Xiaojun back to rest first."

"Okay!" Guangming nodded.

An hour later, the criticism meeting that was originally planned to be held finally ended in a relatively harmonious state.

...

After Chen Jun left the headquarters, he sat in the car without saying a word.

"This time... why are you so easy to talk to?"

"...Stop talking about anything, protect the military power first." Chen Jun replied with a sharp look.

District 8 Yanbei.

The leader of the Tongmenghui stood at the window and cursed: "The Chen army is a real waste. I originally thought that the troubles on their side would be temporarily suppressed, but the battle of more than 100,000 people ended in less than a week, and they even lost Jiangzhou! Now, Wu Tianyin cooperated with Qi Lin's troops and once the border line of Lu District was unfolded, the Zhou army did not dare to move at all."

"Yes, the pressure has returned to District 8 again."

"Continue to catch Fatty Teng and muddle the upper eye." The leader of the Tongmenghui said in a brief sentence: "In addition, be sure to check the news about Qin Yu!"

"Xiao Gu has a little clue." The other party replied.
Chapter completed!
