Chapter 1350: The Disappointment of the First Military Region of the Han Flag (40).
The purpose of the establishment of the First Military Region is to deal with the Qin State, and the First Military Region has also assembled the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty, so to speak, in addition to the Young Guards, almost all the most capable troops are concentrated in the First Military Region, and all the generals are full of spirit, from the day the First Military Region was established, they stared at the Qin people on the opposite side with wide eyes, just waiting for an order, and then began to attack the Qin State and start the last battle against Qin.
However, two years have passed, and the generals of the first military region have not been able to wait for the order from Jicheng, and the Han army not only did not attack, but also did not have any counterattack against the Qin people's erosion of the defense line to Jinyang.
This time the king of Han came to Jinyang, was regarded by the first military region from top to bottom as a major signal of the imminent attack on Qin, now Qin, more and more chaotic, Xianyang and Hangu Pass The confrontation is becoming more and more serious, and Fan Sui's reform in the counties of Qin except Xianyang, other places have suffered a fiasco, the smoke is everywhere, the peasants who can't survive have launched more and more uprisings, and many local guards in the county have even joined in, which makes the imperial court have to send a new army trained by Bai Qi to fight against the bandits, but the bandits are chaotic and extinguished. The Forces nouvelles were exhausted.
What a great opportunity in the eyes of the 1st Military District! What better time to do this in a country of turmoil, with the country's biggest warlord at odds with the imperial court?
In the past two years, in addition to training, it is to help Jinyang resume production, and all the generals have been a little unbearable.
Things seemed to be moving in the direction they had hoped, after King Han arrived at the headquarters of the First Military Region. Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen were summoned that night, and throughout the night, Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen did not come back, and the generals gathered at the headquarters also waited all night.
Sure enough, it's going to attack! Everyone excitedly thought that the king was discussing the battle plan with the commander, and the next step was to attack in a big way. Stepping on the Qin State, which was once the most powerful country in the world, is a great battle feat that can go down in history for everyone here.
The moment the sun suddenly jumped over the distant horizon, Xu Yuan walked out of the high room, there was no excitement on his face, on the contrary, a wave of chagrin filled his heart, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the bright ball in the air, and he exhaled heavily. Strode out.
"Commander!" The commanders of the various armies who had been waiting at the headquarters all night rushed up, the big battle was about to begin, and no one wanted to fall behind at this time, and the purpose of everyone waiting here was to grab a head merit and strive to get the biggest piece of fat in the next offensive mission. Xu Yuan, who was surrounded by groups, showed a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, staring at the group of battle-spirited generals under him, and spread his hands. "What's the point of cramming here, don't be noisy. The king had not slept all night, and now he was about to get some rest, and we went to the council chamber to speak. ”
Surrounded by the stars and the moon, he entered the war room of the First Military Region, Xu Yuan looked at Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen's face was also extremely ugly, "Commander, let's arrange it!" After saying this. He turned his head away, opened the curtain a gap, and stared at the bright sunlight outside.
"Li Mingjun!" To everyone's surprise, Xu Yuan was the first to call out Li Mingjun, the commander of the 20th Army, who was the youngest in the First Military Region, and Li Mingjun was originally Zhao Qi's confidant. When the Han army attacked Western Zhao, it was anyway, and it was explained that Zhao Xilie, the supreme military commander of Western Zhao, defected to the Han State with him, and the two of them anyway, so that the military resistance of the already weak Western Zhao collapsed instantly, and the final result was that Zhao Qi and Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji went fishing on the shore of Dayan Lake, and Zhao Xilie left the front-line military troops to assist He Lanxiong, but Li Mingjun became the commander of the first-line field troops, and led the 20,000 Western Zhao troops that had been reorganized to form the Twentieth Army of the first theater.
"The last general!" Li Mingjun was stunned at first, then overjoyed, jumped up on the spot, and rushed out from behind a group of generals.
"The Twentieth Army, to which you belong, will launch an offensive in the direction of Lubin from now on, clear the fortifications established by the Qin army with Lubin as the center, and open the passage of our department to Hangu Pass." Xu Yuandao.
"Yes!" Li Mingjun's voice was particularly loud, he really didn't expect that the first battle of the Qin Dynasty was actually started by his own department, at the beginning, he didn't expect this, whether it was military exploits or qualifications, he was at the end of the list in the first military region, and he didn't think about competing with those generals with great achievements, he has always been a man with his tail between his legs, and he did things carefully, in the past two years, he spent almost all his time on training, and the original Western Zhao army was above the combat effectiveness, Compared with other units, it is really not above the same level, in the past two years, Li Mingjun has been shy, first went to various combat units to ask for instructors, and invited those grassroots officers with rich combat experience from other units to help guide and train, and then after each graduate of Jishicheng Military University graduates, he was crying, making trouble, and hanging himself in front of Xu Yuan, and always had to pull people a little and a half to run, so that other people's brother troops all had big opinions, but Li Mingjun didn't care. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, he gave it up.
Of course, the consequence of this series of actions is that the combat effectiveness of the Twentieth Army has been significantly improved, and the two all-army military exercises held in Jinyang, from the first time he hung the end of the list, he was thrown so that he couldn't even see his back, and by the second time, he could already be compared with Kong Fang's Eleventh Army, although it was still a loss, but the loss was not ugly. After this military exercise, Kong Fang also had a great sense of crisis, and the climax of large-scale military training was also set off in the 11th Army.
But even though the combat effectiveness of the Twentieth Army has been greatly improved, Li Mingjun never thought that the task of the first attack could fall on his head, and the generals here, which one of them is not staring at it with green eyes!
Xu Yuan stared at Li Mingjun: "This is the first battle of our First Military Region, only Xu will win, and he will win beautifully." ”
"Rest assured, the 20th Army will never live up to the commander's expectations, and the sons and daughters under his command have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Li Mingjun said loudly: "Commander, after we sweep away Lu Bin, will we directly attack the enemy army at Hangu Pass?" ”
"Brother Li, what do you mean? I want to eat it with soup and meat! Xu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but Yan Haibo had already jumped out and said loudly, "You have already taken away the first credit, can't you give us a chance?" ”
"That's it, Brother Li, you're too greedy." A large group of generals spoke in unison, accusing Li Mingjun in unison, and the war room suddenly became chaotic.
"Silence!" Xu Yuan slapped the table angrily, "What are you fighting for, there are more than 100,000 Qin troops in Hangu Pass, can he Li Mingjun eat it?" Sit back for me. When this is your home? ”
Xu Yuan roared, and everyone suddenly quieted down, just slashing at Li Mingjun with his eyes like a knife, if his eyes could kill, now Li Mingjun is afraid that he has been cut by a thousand knives.
"Ding Wei of the Fifth Army and Yan Haibo of the Sixth Army have entered a state of first-level combat readiness and are ready to be pulled out at any time! The other ministries have entered the second level of combat readiness. That's it, scattered and scattered. Xu Yuan waved his hand, listlessly.
"This, that's it?" The generals were dumbfounded one by one, even though the Qin army on the opposite side was not as elite as the Han army, but it was also the most powerful combat power of the Qin State now, Lu Chao, Xu Yahua and others were also veterans of the war, and the soldiers and horses under their command were also crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, in the past two years, the Qin army has also been vigorously training and preparing for war, once the two sides start a war, it will inevitably be a bloody battle, but as long as this battle is won, the Qin State will basically collapse, but looking at Xu Yuan's arrangement now, it seems extremely casual, without the tension before the war. The generals looked at Xu Yuan, and then at Ye Zhen on the side, after the deputy commander arrived at the war room, he half-leaned on the chair and lifted the curtains to look at the sun outside, and when Xu Yuan arranged, he didn't look back.
The expressions and performances of the two commanders were a little strange, which made all the generals muttered in their hearts, this didn't look like they were going to fight a big war. I wanted to ask again, but looking at the appearance of the two chiefs, although they were muttering, everyone still saluted and left together.
Looking at the backs of the departing generals, Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, "After more than two years of hard work, I am ready to do a big job, but now, we are about to be reduced to the background, I am really unwilling to think about it!" ”
Ye Zhen, who had been looking at the scenery outside, finally turned his head back, "Although I am not reconciled, there is no way, what the king said is indeed reasonable, the Qin people are no longer our biggest enemies, internal chaos, economic collapse, discord between monarchs and ministers, they are just dead but not stiff." It is no longer difficult to take them down, and yesterday the king made it very clear that the First Military Region must be subordinated to the overall strategic situation. ”
"Of course we'll obey, I'm just worried that I won't understand!" Xu Yuan scratched his head and said with some distress.
"Don't understand?" Ye Zhen sneered: "They don't need to understand, they just need to execute." The king has already said that the army does not need to have a mind of its own, all they have to do is obey. ”
"Ye Zhen, I never thought that the king would be so big in this game of chess, if everything goes well, it may not take a few years to dominate the world." Xu Yuan stood up and paced around the room a few times, "It's just that we can't stand at the forefront of this operation, when we destroy Qin in the future, our First Military Region will definitely not be able to monopolize the credit, think about it, I still don't want to be unwilling."
