Ashwatthama made commander

Janmajeya asked - What happened after this?
The sage said -

Ashwatthama, son of Drona, came to Duryodhana. He said - You made a bad choice of making Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Shalya as commanders. If you had made me the commander, I would have won the war for you by now. Make me the commander now and I will kill the Pandavas for you.

Duryodhana said I realize now that the others were close to the Pandavas. I make you the commander. Go and kill the Pandavas for me.

Duryodhana asked Kripa to fetch some water. With the water, Duryodhana declared the son of Drona as the commander of the army of Kauravas.
