One of them, Ryder, had died of illness several months ago.

Ze Xuanjia, one of the "Seven Lords", is missing.

Therefore, only five ministers and ministers led by Sanji Shimei remained.

Compared with the destruction of the country, such conditions are extremely relaxed.

The generals of the Nagashu Army who were in Hagi Castle - they were all direct descendants of Katsukogoro and Takasugi Shinsaku - after a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to accept these four conditions and end the war.

Of course, whether to make a ceasefire or not, the lord of the Changzhou vassal state must make the decision himself.

Having said that, no one took the opinions of the Changzhou vassal lord seriously. No matter what he said, he would nod in agreement.

As expected, because he was deprived of his side, he has now changed his name from "Maori Kishi" to "Maori Kishi". After hearing that everyone strongly advised him to accept the peace talks, he answered like this:

"Well, just do it!"

After receiving Maori's sincere reply, the two generals inside and outside Hagi Castle tacitly advanced the peace talks.

The confidants of Kane and Takasugi not only quickly killed three family members, but also beheaded the four staff officers in the prison (Taoi Takeuchi Masae, Sakuma Saiguchi, Nakamura Kyuro, and Nago Zuomasuke).

The Maori father and son respectfully submitted their apology.

The first three conditions are easy to handle, but the last condition is more troublesome.

At that time, the five ministers were protected by loyal officials from the court, and they were unwilling to hand over the five ministers.

Fortunately, Saigo Yoshinosuke and others received a letter of apology from the Mori father and son, and after inspecting the progress of the Yamaguchi breaking city, they were very satisfied. They withdrew their troops directly without waiting for the Mori family to hand over the five ministers.

In this way, the strife army was disbanded on the spot.

The 200,000 army fell apart, and the troops returned to their vassals.

Matsuhira-kun kept his mind to continue, but he was powerless to turn things around.

After the disbandment of the Chief Army, the only troops he could command was the Aijin Army, which he was directly under, with about 2,000 people.

With this little force, not to mention conquering Hagi City, it is impossible to even save the territory it has captured.

So he could only withdraw his troops in disgrace.

The huge "Changzhou Conquest" mobilized a total of 200,000 troops, ended with a huge ending...

Not only did he fail to capture Hagi Castle, but he even spit out all the territory he had previously captured.

In other words, their battle was in vain! They were useless to waste the people and money but gained nothing!

After reading the content on the scroll, Qingdeng didn't speak for a long time...

He silently put away the scroll, then stared at the void in front of him, making a meditative look, without moving...

At first glance, he seemed very calm.

But in essence, anyone who knows Qingdeng knows that this is his extreme anger!

At this moment, he suppressed his anger entirely by relying on his tenacity and excellent cultivation.

He forced himself to calm down, and when his mood stabilized, he began to count all the details and mistakes of the battle.

Why did this battle that should have won end in this way?

After a while, he concluded two reasons:

On the one hand, he overestimated Matsuhira Toruba's ability.

On the other hand, he underestimated Saigo Yoshinosuke's ambitions.

In essence, the former is not a mistake.

Although there are many generals in the Disaster Army, the only one who has enough status and can be trusted by Qingdeng is Matsuhira Rongbao.

Apart from Matsuheri Tomosa, he has no other object to trust and can entrust with important responsibilities.

In other words, Qingdeng had no choice at all at the time, so he could only believe in Matsuhira Yoshiba.

If others are allowed to take charge of the Legion of the Chiefs, it will definitely lead to more severe consequences.

Indeed, Matsuhei Tomokazu made a mistake and forced the siege against the wishes of the generals, which directly triggered the division of the legion.

The culprit that may lead to the failure of the battle is not Matsuhei Tomokazu, but Saigo Yoshinosuke!

The intention of Saigo Yoshinosuke is already Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it!

The bullshit gunpowder is damp! The bullshit equipment is damaged! It is all some clumsy excuses!

He clearly wanted to protect Changzhou and prevent Changzhou from perishing in this battle!

Qingdeng has reason to believe that the generals’ “lower defeat” was promoted by Saigo Yoshinosuke behind the scenes!

The "fence-riding" of Saigo Yoshinosuke is obvious to all.

Since the "Black Ship Incident", under the command of Saigo Yoshinosuke, Satsuma has been swaying between "Sunorang" and "Samama", bringing the "unified front value" to the extreme.

"Handling on the fence" is not a mistake, but rather a profound political wisdom.

It is really rare to be a good player like Saigo Yoshinosuke who plays "having a fence" and plays with flowers!

PS: In historical facts, the "Changzhou Conquest" ended in such a hasty way. The front-line general ignored Tokugawa Ishimatsu's wishes and signed a peace agreement with Takashu without authorization, which made Tokugawa Ishimatsu die. When Tokugawa Ishimatsu wanted to hold people accountable,
