Chapter 1196: Carrying on the Past and Opening the Future (Eighty-Six) New Year’s Bell (Again and Again)
Mu Qiu tugged at the Zhao army uniform, smacked her lips, and shook her head in dissatisfaction. She looked up at the group of Han army officers around her who had similar expressions to his. They all seemed to be feeling uncomfortable. , that’s nonsense, I’m used to wearing Han army uniforms, but I don’t feel so comfortable when I put on other military uniforms.
"It's so damn ugly." An officer whispered, "It's not as beautiful as our military uniforms."
"That's true. The military uniforms in the world are the most beautiful among us men. Brothers, you haven't gotten the brand-new officer uniforms and training uniforms yet. How can you be called handsome?" Mu Qiu He smiled and said, "Everyone can receive it after completing this mission."
"Commander Mu, you must have seen it, right?" An officer's face showed an expectant look.
"I've seen the commander's gift set. It's beautiful." Mu Qiu said, "But ours is coming soon and will be distributed after the Chinese New Year."
"That's great. This mission will be completed after the new year. Then I will wear the latest military uniform and go home to see my wife." Another young officer said, making everyone laugh. stand up.
"Okay, okay, everyone must forget your original identity from now on. From now on, we are the Zhao Army, the troops on the left and four wings of General Zhao Xilie. After every officer returns, he must inform the following Come on, if anyone leaks a little bit of information, it will be a big mistake. "
"Don't worry, commander, these soldiers are carefully selected. They are all smart."
"Hmph, I don't think you are very smart. What did you just call me?" Mu Qiu snorted coldly.
"Oh, that's easy to say. I understand, General Mu." The officer smiled and straightened up.
"I'm afraid I'll be fooled." Mu Qiu's expression became serious, "It's two days' journey from here to Jinyang City, and these two days are also your last adaptation time. Once you enter the city, you'll be in a state of war. ”
"Yes. I promise to complete the mission." All the officers also suppressed their smiles and replied seriously.
Mu Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "After entering the city, everyone must remember to relax. Don't be too tight. There are still a few days before the launch. In these days, we will form a team to patrol with the Qin army. , Protecting Jinyang City must not go wrong, do you all still remember what to do when facing the Qin people? "
"Pretend to be grandson." All the officers said in unison, and before they finished speaking, they all laughed again.
Mu Qiu's face turned dark immediately, "Smile, smile, smile.
What are you laughing at? What kind of status do the city guards of Western Zhao in the city have towards the Qin people? I have shown it to you in the briefing issued by the National Security Bureau, and you have also explained to the soldiers the serious relationship here. It doesn't matter if he pretends to be a grandson for a few days. When the day comes, we will be his uncle. "
"Understood, I will be my grandson for a few days, and then I will be their uncle." A group of officers stood up and said loudly.
Seeing the state of everyone, Mu Qiu couldn't help but laugh. These little bastards were really relaxed. The mission into the city this time was not easy.
Thousands of city guards stationed in Jinyang City will go out of the city to participate in a large-scale military exercise under the orders of General Zhao Xilie. And their so-called fourth wing of the left army will enter the city to take over the defense work of the city guards. They only have three thousand people. By then, the five thousand Qin troops in the city will basically be left to them to deal with.
The first step in ringing in the new year. It is to deal with the 5,000 Qin garrison in the city. Otherwise, once the outside is launched, the 5,000 Qin troops in the city will know the information and seal the city gate and stand firm. There is really nothing they can do about such an action. Xu Yuan did not dare to leave it to the West Zhao army to complete the task. He could not trust the combat effectiveness of the West Zhao army. After negotiating with Zhao Xilie, Xu Yuan directly transferred his own troops. The guard group led by Mu Qiu pretended to be Zhao troops and entered the city.
Mu Qiu was born as a scout. He was the one who discovered that Dong Hu had begun to garrison troops in the Hetao. As a scout, after escaping from death time and time again, he was also promoted to a higher position. Two years ago, he was appointed by Xu Yuan. He was transferred to his own guard battalion. This time Xu Yuan was promoted to the commander of the First Military Region, and the guard battalion was upgraded to a regiment. Mu Qiu, the original guard battalion commander, was also promoted to the rank of commander of the guard regiment. long.
The former Northern Field Army has always prided itself on being the most powerful unit that fought the most big battles and fought the most vicious battles among the entire Han army. At least that's what Mu Qiu thought. Although the Young Guards Corps has always been recognized among the Han army, The fighting power of the Northern Army is the strongest, but Mu Qiu is not convinced. They are just taking advantage of the King's Guards Corps. If they really want to compare with the Northern Army, they may not be able to defeat the Northern Army, at least, in winter. In combat, they were far inferior to the Northern Army. The experience and capabilities of the Northern Army in this area are almost unparalleled.
"Before preparing to set off, the officers must check carefully. Anything that may reveal our identity, especially all kinds of unique Han army equipment, is not allowed to be brought. Go and prepare. In half an hour, everyone will be here. The army sets off," Mu Qiu said.
"As you command!"
Two days later, Zhao Che stood in front of Jinyang City, his face a little pale, and his eye circles were full of bloodshot eyes. Behind him, from the city gate hole, groups of city defense troops were marching out from inside. These city defense troops There was a look of relief on his face. Finally, he no longer had to look at the faces of Qin's uncles in the city. Although it was harder to leave the city, he was in a happier mood at least.
Beside Zhao Che stood Yang Jie, a general of the Qin State. He thought that the large-scale exercise of the Western Zhao army was a complete waste of time. No matter how many exercises the Western Zhao army had, it would still be like this. The Zhao army that could fight against the Qin Dynasty had lost its spirit and energy after General Bai Qi's massacre in Changping. The Zhao army was now just a mess.
So Yang Jie sneered at their redeployment this time. Perhaps Zhao Xilie knew that the only city guard he could barely show off was the city guards in the city, so he dragged them out to show off. As for using exercises to boost morale, maybe there was a little bit, but only God knew what the actual effect would be.
A commotion came from afar, and a messy team appeared in their field of vision, as if they were lining up, but from their angle, sometimes there were four teams, sometimes five teams, and even groups of people gathered together. Seeing all this, Yang Jie's face became more sarcastic, while Zhao Che's face beside him looked a little flushed.
"General Zhao transferred such an army to garrison Jinyang City? It doesn't look like a disciplined army, but more like a local guard?" Yang Jie looked at Zhao Che beside him with a smile.
Zhao Che's face became even redder. His blush was certainly not because of anger or shame, but because he knew that the New Year's Bell Plan had officially begun. This army was not from the Zhao army, but from the powerful Han army. Because of the irrepressible excitement in his heart, he had a blush, but the other party thought it was shameful. This was not bad, so let him think so.
"It's enough to have General Yang's tiger and wolf division in Jinyang City. Transferring them here is just to make up the numbers. General Yang can treat them as if they don't exist." Zhao Che replied in a muffled voice.
Yang Jie laughed, "Looking at their appearance, we can only pretend that they don't exist."
At this time, the army in the distance finally approached, and the leading army seemed to have seen Zhao Che standing in front, turned around and shouted loudly, and then the messy army stopped and began to line up on the spot, while the leading officer and a few people ran towards Zhao Che quickly.
"Mu Qiu, the commander of the fourth wing of the left army, came to garrison Jinyang City on the order of the general." Mu Qiu's face was full of smiles. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to Zhao Che.
"Is this your army?" Looking at this unfamiliar face, Zhao Che shouted: "Do they still look like soldiers?"
Mu Qiu climbed up by himself, looked back at the barely organized team, and whispered: "Commander Zhao, I have no other choice. The brothers haven't been paid for several months, and they are upset. I have spent a lot of effort to control them." "Shame on you!" Zhao Che said angrily, and took the seal from the tray in the hands of the personal soldiers beside him, and threw it to Mu Qiu, "This is the seal for garrisoning Jinyang City. From now on, Jinyang City will be garrisoned by your troops. Cooperate well with General Yang."
Mu Qiu turned to Yang Jie and bowed deeply: "Please take care of me, General Yang."
"Okay, okay." Yang Jie said in a gloomy tone.
"Okay, take your men into the city and immediately take over the defense of the city gates and key departments. Commander Mu Yi, take care of your army. Jinyang City is not a place where you can do whatever you want. There are friendly Qin troops here to help. If your soldiers do something wrong and are caught by friendly troops, no one can save them."
"Yes, Commander Zhao, don't worry, I will strictly discipline them." Mu Qiu smiled.
"Take care of yourself!" Zhao Che glanced at the untidy army in the distance with disgust, but his heart was full of curiosity. This was a unit with huge responsibilities, but now he didn't think it looked like a strong army.
Zhao Che led the team away, and Yang Jie naturally left. Such an undisciplined army could be completely ignored. As long as they didn't cause trouble, they would be treated as if they didn't exist.
Looking at Yang Jie's back, Mu Qiu's smile became even bigger. Turning around and looking at his own army, his eyes were full of appreciation. They were indeed the guys carefully selected by the commander. They were all smart and clever.
Entering the city means half of the task is done.
Just as Mu Qiu's army entered Jinyang City, Gao Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, secretly appeared at Xu Yuan's temporary headquarters in Huining.
The New Year's Bell Project will be commanded by Gao Yuan himself. (To be continued.)
