Seeing the eyes of the officers around him, the signal soldier hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Hanzhong City, the capital of our Qianyuan Empire, was fiercely attacked by the Japanese army this morning, with a strength of about 10,000 people. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

How did this sudden Japanese army quietly appear near the national capital, didn't our intelligence department notice it at all?

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at Zhuge Feiyang, who was the director of the National Intelligence Agency.

Seeing the angry eyes of so many people, Zhuge Feiyang could only sigh secretly and said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they didn't notice that such a Japanese army appeared near the national capital, please punish Your Majesty." ”

In any case, the country was captured by the Japanese army, and he didn't get any news in advance, and this kind of pot had to be carried by him.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's it, I will punish you for three months, such a mistake can't be made again in the future." ”

For this kind of mistake, His Majesty only punished Zhuge Feiyang for three months, which made the newly promoted officers present a little jealous.

For Zhuge Feiyang, money has long been useless.

As a high-ranking general of the empire, a series of daily necessities such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation are all provided by the state, and there is nothing that needs money at all.

Therefore, Xu Yang's punishment of Zhuge Feiyang's deduction is simply too lenient.

And this kind of dispensable punishment can only be treated like this by the five generals who fought hard together with Xu Yang from the Qingfeng Mountain Range.

Of course, it can't be said that there is no particularly big punishment for them if they make a mistake is Xu Yang's treatment of them, but their relationship with Xu Yang is fought out in the sea of corpses and blood, which is basically unshakable, so Xu Yang will give them special care as much as possible, which is their special treatment.

This kind of treatment of generals as brothers is what the other generals and leading officers present dream of.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for raising your noble hand. Zhuge Feiyang said indifferently.

However, as soon as Zhuge Feiyang's voice fell, an old man dressed in a scribe's costume and gray hair said coldly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this punishment violates the military law of our empire, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order." ”

After the old man finished speaking, the faces of the officers present suddenly changed, and they stared at the old man viciously, very disgusted.

The old man who spoke was the current deputy prime minister of the Han Empire, to put it bluntly, that is, the person sent by Li Wen, the former governor of Jiangzhou and the current prime minister of the empire.

"Hmph, Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, every word is beautiful, and his subordinates think that Your Majesty's punishment is in line with common sense, and I hope Your Majesty will see it. The General Staff snorted coldly.

Listening to such a strong rebuttal by the General Staff Officer, the deputy head was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he was really unaccompanied, and when he said a word, dozens or hundreds of people could refute his words, and he was powerless to refute at all.

Besides, the Prime Minister has placed him here to disgust these soldiers, and as long as he can confuse or even mess things up, then the purpose of their government faction will be achieved.

Seeing Zhuge Feiyang's state, Xu Yang only nodded lightly, and continued: "The next battle will be arranged by the deputy commander, and I will return to the capital immediately, hoping that you can win this life-and-death decisive battle related to the fortunes of our Han Dynasty." After speaking, Xu Yang bowed deeply to everyone present.

Seeing that Xu Yang's intention had been decided, everyone present stood up and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers are bound to expel these Japanese robbers and protect my Han people!"

Xu Yang nodded slightly, and hurriedly walked out of the conference room, and a group of guards hurriedly followed, hugging Xu Yang to get into the car, and the long convoy slowly drove towards the airport.

With Xu Yang leaving, Qin Hu became the supreme commander of the army going north, and the task of expelling the Japanese fell on him.

The 50,000 Han army was very important in the plan to go north, and these 50,000 horses could not be used by a single soldier.

In other words, Xu Yang returned to the national capital this time, and he didn't even have a combatable army of more than 1,000 people.

Thinking about it, Xu Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked the secretary beside him, "How is the training of the second batch of recruits?"

The secretary listened to Xu Yang's question, and knew it in his heart, but he replied with a very bitter face: "Your Majesty, you know, the training cycle of these two batches of recruits is only half a month, and if they are sent to the battlefield, they will not become a live target for the enemy." ”

"I don't know, but the founding time of our country is too short, the foundation is too shallow, except for this batch of recruits, I really can't transfer a single soldier, besides, the veterans who started with me at the beginning are not all without formal military training, so let's send the order to the military bases. I really don't know how long the national capital can last. Xu Yang said with a sigh.

On the 27th of July, the second day of the siege of the kingdom.

Communication with the national capital has been completely cut off, and the Han Imperial Intelligence Agency has continuously sent investigators, but so far, there has been no news.

Located about 50 kilometers southwest of the national capital, there is a military base numbered No. 1, which is the closest military base to the national capital in the second phase of this year's conscription plan.

As a result, this military base has been targeted by people on both sides of the military department and the intelligence agency.

In the early morning of the 27th, before five o'clock, it was still dark, and the commander of Base No. 1, Major General Tao Ran, was woken up by the rapid ringing of the telephone.

In a daze, he picked up the landline on the bedside table and said, "Where?"

After listening for a while, Tao Ran's originally closed eyes opened suddenly, and he asked with a very excited expression, "Really?"

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away and make sure the task is completed. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tao Ran rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and just sat up to get dressed, the landline on the bedside table rang again.

Tao Ran glanced at the caller number, and his face couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this number is the special number of the Intelligence Agency, at this time, what are they calling for?

Thinking of the order issued by the military department just now, Tao Ran couldn't help but connect the two, could it be that the intelligence agency also has a task to issue?

It is a matter of military affairs, Tao Ran does not dare to slack off, after all, the intelligence agency is at the same level as the military department, although he does not belong to the system of the intelligence agency, he does not dare to ignore the intelligence agency too much.

Answering the phone, Tao Ran asked very cautiously: "Hello, I am Tao Ran, the commander of the No. 1 military base." ”
