    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 878

    Cheng Feng, Director of the Operations and Investigation Department of the Qinghe Army, and others died at the hands of the rebel Yang Hao.

    ? At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Wu Feng, the rebels wrote a letter to the Qinghe Army.

    The content of the letter is very simple, that is to warn Chen Ziang and the others not to send anyone to assassinate him again.

    And the rebels will hang the bodies of the brothers of the Operations Investigation Department who were beheaded in front of the two armies.

    If the Qinghe army wanted them to rest in peace, they could exchange five million gold and silver.

    Chen Ziang and the others dispatched the Operations Executive Division under the Intelligence Investigation Institute to behead the rebel leader Yang Hao, also to prevent blood from flowing into rivers on the battlefield.

    However, what the Qinghe army never expected was that their beheading operation, which has always been invincible, failed.

    Not only was Cheng Feng, the director of the Operations Department, killed on the spot, but none of the brothers in the Operations Department survived.

    "These damn rebels!"

    When Yuan Jie, head of the Third Army of the Qinghe Army, saw the letter sent back by the rebels, he was also furious.

    "Launch an attack on the rebels! Avenge the lunatic brothers!"

    The deputy head of the army, Lei Ming, also looked ashen, and decided to lead the army to attack the rebels to avenge the brothers who died in battle.

    "The bodies of Cheng Feng and the others are still on the side of the rebels. If we attack, with the nature of the rebels, I'm afraid there will be nothing left of them."

    "But we can't agree to the conditions of the rebels and give them five million gold for nothing, right?"

    "Let's report this matter to the commander-in-chief, and let the commander-in-chief decide."

    Yuan Jie, the head of the Third Army, and the others didn't know how to handle the matter properly, so they could only rush to report the situation to Chen Zi'ang within eight hundred miles.

    "What, Cheng Feng and the others failed?"

    Chen Ziang was also shocked when he learned of the 800 Li urgent report from the Third Army.

    You must know that the Operation Executive Division under Cheng Feng's command was transferred from the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade.

    These brothers are not only strong in personal combat, but also extremely good at special tasks such as infiltration and assassination.

    Chen Ziang originally thought that beheading Yang Hao, the leader of the rebel army, would be an easy task.

    However, what he never thought of was that the beheading operation, which he thought he had a chance of winning, failed miserably.

    Moreover, Cheng Feng and the others were decapitated and died tragically on the side of the rebels. Chen Ziang clenched his fists tightly and was speechless for a long time.

    Although Chen Ziang knew that generals would inevitably die on the battlefield, the sudden loss of a capable general still made Chen Ziang feel as if a knife had been twisted in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.

    The Qinghe Army is now growing stronger and stronger, and the enemies they face are becoming more and more powerful and cunning. The situation facing the Qinghe Army is also becoming more and more complicated.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang watched the death of a capable general under his command, and he was not sad that it was a fake.

    However, as the commander-in-chief, he can only hide this sadness deep in his heart, and he has to lead the Qinghe Army to move forward.

    The current Qinghe army is like a ship sailing in rough seas, it can only advance against the waves and cannot retreat.

    When the number of people is small, they can also disband on the spot, and go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

    But now countless people's wealth, lives, honor and disgrace are tied to this big ship of the Qinghe Army, and there is no room for any mistakes.

    "Let the Military Supplies Department allocate five million gold to Dongjiang Province in exchange for the corpses of Cheng Feng and other brothers."

    Chen Ziang quickly hid his inner grief and began to deal with this matter seriously.

    "Commander, Cheng Feng and the others are already dead, so it's really not worthwhile to exchange five million gold for the corpse."

    Although Li Qiye, chief of staff, knew that Chen Ziang valued love and righteousness, he still put forward his own ideas.

    "This time the rebels took our army."

    "They hung the bodies of Brother Cheng Feng in front of the two armies. If we don't pay attention, it will definitely chill the hearts of the brothers."

    "Although five million gold is indeed not a small amount, but for the morale and cohesion of my Qinghe army, I think it is worth it."

    After Chen Ziang's repeated consideration, he still decided to agree to the condition of the rebel Yang Hao, and exchanged five million gold for the bones of Cheng Feng and others.

    Chief of Staff Li Qiye felt that Chen Ziang was acting on his own will, but thinking that if he died in the future, Chen Ziang mightLi Ang would do the same, so he was relieved and stopped persuading.

    Under Chen Ziang's instruction, five million gold was quickly sent to the front of the two armies.

    Yuan Jie, the commander of the Third Army of the Qinghe Army, personally led the 60,000 troops of the four banner regiments.

    If the rebels had turned their backs and refused to return the bones of Cheng Feng and others after taking money, they would definitely launch a fierce attack to get back the bones.

    And the news that Chen Ziang exchanged five million gold for the bones of Cheng Feng and others who died in battle also spread throughout the Qinghe army.

    While denouncing the despicableness and shamelessness of the rebels, the whole Qinghe army also shared the same hatred, threatening to wipe out the rebels and avenge Cheng Feng and others.

    And the Third Army Corps on the front line is even more eager to fight. As long as the rebels renege on their promises, they will attack the whole army and launch a fierce attack on the rebels.

    "The commander-in-chief said it!"

    "My Qinghe army can't abandon a brother. Although brothers Cheng Feng and the others are dead, their bones must be brought back and enshrined in the Hall of Loyalty, where they will be enshrined with incense!"

    "If the rebels don't return their bones, then we will try our best to get their bones back!"

    In front of the 60,000-strong army, Yuan Jie, the commander of the Third Army, galloped his horse and read Chen Ziang's instructions loudly.

    "Roar!"

    "Roar!"

    "Roar!"

    At this moment, the brothers of the Qinghe Army, who share the same hatred against the enemy, burst into shouts of mountains and tsunami. They are proud of themselves as the Qinghe Army!

    The rebel leader Yang Hao did not expect that the Qinghe army really spent five million gold in exchange for useless bones.

    He knew that if he didn't return it, it would appear that he had broken his promise.

    Moreover, it was useless for him to keep these bones, so he simply returned the bones of Cheng Feng and others to the Qinghe army.

    The Qinghe army used 60,000 troops to welcome back the bones of Cheng Feng and others, although Cheng Feng was only the director of the Operations Department.

    However, he once made contributions to the Qinghe Army, and he was the winner of the Warrior Medal, enjoying the treatment of the deputy head of the army.

    Now that a heavyweight was killed, Chen Ziang also ordered the whole army to lower their flags to half-mast, and the whole army was plain.

    Although the weather had turned cold, the bones had rotted away, and the Third Army cremated them on the spot.

    The urns of Cheng Feng and others were escorted by a thousand elite cavalry to the Zhonglie Hall in Yunxi Mansion, Jiangbei Province.

    The post newspapers of the Qinghe Army also publicized the heroic deeds of Cheng Feng and others going deep into the enemy's nest, and all the prefectures, counties, villages and towns along the way have already known.

    ?Officials at all levels greeted the escort team in person, and the common people along the way also spontaneously showed off to see off these heroes of the Qinghe Army.

    Where the cavalry escorting the urn passed, paper money was flying, and the air was filled with a solemn and sad atmosphere.

    When the urn arrived at Yunxi Mansion in Jiangbei Province, Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, also personally dressed in hemp and filial piety, and brought the officials and soldiers of Yunxi Mansion to wait in front of the Zhonglie Hall.

    However, the people of Yunxi Mansion have enjoyed the benefits of the Qinghe Army, and their lives have become stable and prosperous. Naturally, they also know that it is all in exchange for the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers.

    Therefore, on this day, Yunxi Mansion was also empty for thousands of people, and the Zhonglie Hall was crowded with people who came to see the hero off.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
