Chapter 992: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Sixteen)
The people who responded to the call soon filled up the small meeting hall in Gaoyuan. There were only a handful of people in the Han Kingdom who could enter the meeting hall in Gaoyuan. When Jiang Jiaquan also appeared panting. , the people summoned by Gao Yuan finally arrived.
"I'm tired sir, I came all the way back!" Gao Yuan nodded apologetically at him, "Wei Yuan, hurry up and bring a cool drink to sir."
"No hurry, Your Majesty, what happened?" Jiang Jiaquan bowed to Gao Yuan and sat down on the Jindeng reserved for him beside Gao Yuan. This Jindeng was beside Gao Yuan. It is the exclusive seat of the Jiang family.
"Let's take a look at this first when discussing politics!" Xu Yuan handed the file in his hand to Jiang Jiaquan. He was the second to last one and had just finished reading it.
He Weiyuan handed a cup of sour plum soup to Jiang Jiaquan, held the drink to his mouth with one hand, and spread the file on his lap with the other hand, drinking and reading at the same time.
With a porridge sound, all the sour plum soup that he just drank in his mouth spurted out, soaking the files on his knees with soup and water. He pushed the cup in his hand into Xu Yuan's hand next to him, and Jiang Jiaquan picked up the soup on his knees with both hands. I opened my eyes wide and read the file carefully.
"How is this possible?" He put down the file in his hand, looked at Gao Yuan, and then turned to look at everyone in the room, a little confused: "Jing Rufeng broke Hangu Pass? Why did Li Xin go?"
"Zeng Xianyi said in the document that it seemed that Li Xin suddenly left somewhere with the army at Hangu Pass, and the specific whereabouts are unclear."
"What did the Supervisory Yuan do? Why didn't the Supervisory Yuan hear any news about such a major military deployment?" Jiang Jiaquan looked around the room, but did not find Cao Tianci.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen." A man appeared at the door, with beads of sweat on his head. It was Cao Tianci.
"Dean Cao came just in time!" Anger flashed in Jiang Jiaquan's eyes, "The Oversight Yuan's budget is so large every year, but now it seems that the effect is not very good. Li Xin, Jing Rufeng, we have to wait for such a major military operation. Only now do I know, Dean Cao, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Cao Tianci's face, but what Jiang Jiaquan said was true. This time, the actions of both Qin and Zhao were too strange, and there was no warning beforehand, so he was indeed caught off guard.
"Your Majesty, sir, ladies and gentlemen, this is the information I just received. It was just returned from the nails that our Supervisory Council had buried in Zhao State earlier." Cao Tianci presented the information in his hands to Gao Yuan with both hands.
"There is a change in Xianyang. The eldest son of King Wulie of Qin colluded with General Meng Tiantu to plot a rebellion?" Gao Yuan's eyes widened, and he was once again shocked by the content of this intelligence. When everyone in the room heard Gao Yuan's words, their expressions became extremely exciting, and some Some were delighted, and some were dumbfounded. "Is it because of this that Li Xin led his army back to Xianyang?"
"Is this information credible?" Jiang Jiaquan looked at Cao Tianci with a stern expression and asked.
Looking at Jiang Jiaquan's appearance, Cao Tianci said with certainty: "This nail is someone we have been focusing on training, and he is now the official of King Zhao. He saw the original reports reported by Jing Rufeng and Zhao Jin, but before issuing this When the report came, Jing Rufeng had already started taking action, so it was too late for us to get this information."
"Behead first and show later. Jing Rufeng is really brave." Jiang Jiaquan murmured: "How can he be so sure? Isn't he afraid that this is a trap?"
"Yes, with the control King Wulie of Qin has over the Qin State, it is incredible that his eldest son, who has no real power, can launch a rebellion." Gao Yuan also felt the same way. "Is Heibingtai a shit-eater?"
"Zhongli of Black Ice Terrace is still a person left by the old King Qin. Is it possible that he is also a person of the eldest prince?" Ye Zhong asked.
"Impossible!" Gao Yuan directly denied this possibility: "The Black Ice Platform is a sharp weapon in the hands of King Qin Wulie. How could he allow such a sharp weapon to be in the hands of someone who is not his confidant?"
"But this thing is too unbelievable, unless the eldest prince is a genius." Xu Yuan shook his head, "Otherwise it makes no sense!"
"If the eldest prince really had such a talent, King Wulie of Qin would not have started cultivating Ying Ying ten years ago." Gao Yuan said: "If the eldest prince still has supporters, it is the old school of Qin. Although King Wulie of Qin has killed batch after batch in the past twenty years, these old forces were too strong before and they just killed them endlessly. If they killed too much, the remaining people would go underground, but they would become even more powerful. It’s hard to deal with.”
"Meng Tian is such a veteran general." Ye Zhong interrupted: "From this point of view, this matter is still possible. Meng Tian controls 200,000 elite soldiers. This is definitely a force that can overthrow the Qin State. strength."
"No matter what our opponents are like, the most important thing is to be ourselves." Jiang Jiaquan clapped his hands, "Now we need to discuss the impact of this incident on us."
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"No matter who wins or loses this war, it is not a good thing for us." Gao Yuan said: "If Zhao wins, it will definitely tear up the agreement with us. Whether it is in Yuyang, Wei, or Dai County, we have a lot of grievances with them. With the advantage of defeating Qin, they will definitely use troops against us. And if this whole incident is a conspiracy, and Qin wins in the end, it will be even more disadvantageous for us. Qin is strong. If Zhao loses this battle, it will lose the capital to compete with Qin. I am afraid that Qin will directly attack us. As for us, we are now mobilizing troops to deal with Qi. The focus of the entire country is tilting towards Qi. Once an accident occurs, will be caught off guard."
"We must increase our forces in Yuyang, and the Eastern Field Army currently stationed in Dai County must move to Shannan County immediately." Jiang Jiaquan said: "Move Ye Zhen's Central Army to Yuyang. With these two large armies stationed there just in case, we will have enough time to respond even if something unexpected happens."
"We must speed up the resolution of Qi's affairs." Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Tian Fucheng is already at the end of his strength, and his value is no longer worth mentioning. Let Meng Chong take action and take Jimo. At the same time, let him work together with Bai Yucheng to annihilate the main force of Master Tian in the shortest possible time."
"What about the Chu army in Judu now?"
"Ignore it for now. He. Let them occupy Judu first, and after the battle between Qin and Zhao, we will deal with the matter of Judu." Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at the map on the wall, "Chu State has continuously sent reinforcements to Judu, and there are already as many as 100,000 people under Qu Wan. Now, it is really not appropriate for us to make enemies on many sides."
"Xu Yuan's Northern Army Group and Shangguan Hong's Young Guards Corps will be on standby first, and act according to current events. Respond to changes with the same attitude."
"Yes, sir."
"Everyone, from now on, all holidays are cancelled, Shannan County and Yuyang direction enter the first-level combat readiness, Xu Yuan and Shangguan Hong's troops enter the second-line combat readiness. From now on, all government orders in the Council Hall will be prepared with possible wars as the center."
"Today The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the old grain from last year is just being transferred out to clear the warehouse. The military workshop will also work overtime to produce weapons from now on, and the army's operations will never be affected by logistical problems!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded and promised: "Yan Yizheng, you will be responsible for supervising these two matters."
"Okay." Yan Shenghao nodded in response.
"Old He, your wedding leave is gone, go back and explain it to your wife!" Gao Yuan laughed and looked at He Lanxiong, "Blame me if you want to blame!"
"Xinlian is such a well-behaved person, how could she complain?" He Lanxiong shook his head.
Everyone in the room laughed. He Lanxiong, a stubborn man, was actually turned into a soft finger by a little girl like Wu Xinlian. It was really surprising.
"Well, no matter what our enemies are like, we must first do well ourselves. The army must be mobilized first, and other domestic affairs should be carried out step by step. Don't let this delay the autumn harvest this year. This is the top priority!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
The military machine of the Han Kingdom, which had been silent for nearly a year, quietly started to move. The first to feel this were many domestic merchants. The military suddenly increased the intensity of ordering various materials, and all of them were time-limited. The convoys transporting military supplies from Jishi City to various places were endless. The major carriages and horse companies had completely stopped other businesses and began to serve the army with one mind.
The merchants were very excited, because as long as the Han Kingdom Fighting is their chance to make a fortune. Not only is it an opportunity created by the large-scale needs of the army, but the territory conquered by the Han army also has many business opportunities. The merchants of the Han Dynasty have a blind confidence in the Han army, believing that as long as the army is dispatched, victory will be within reach.
In the senior officer training class of Jicheng Comprehensive University, Dong Zhuang handed an application for transfer to the official of the Ministry of War. They have finished their work, packed their luggage, and are ready to return to their own troops. The official of the Ministry of War glanced at Dong Zhuang's application and said in surprise: "Dong Zhuang, you want to go to the Southern Army Group?"
"Yes, I applied to be transferred to the Southern Army Group. I want to fight Qi people." Dong Zhuang clenched his fists, "My four brothers and sisters all died at the hands of Qi people, I want revenge."
"This is not something I can decide. Cross-corps transfers not only require the approval of the Ministry of War, but also the signatures of the two army groups, especially the opinions of your superiors."
"I will report the reason to my direct superior." Dong Zhuang said firmly: "If the superiors do not approve, I will retire and join the Southern Army Group myself."
"Nonsense!" The hall official said unhappily: "The kingdom has spent so much manpower and material resources to train you officers. Do you want to retire? Wait!"
Watching the hall official go away, Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong came over, "Dong Zhuang, you can actually join our new army. We have now expanded to 50,000 people, and we are just looking for generals to lead the troops. Commander Zhang Hongyu has been so anxious that his hair has turned a lot white."
"I'm going to the Southern Army Group, they are in Kunzhou!" Dong Zhuang said firmly.
"We are going to Qi State too!" Cui Chengxiu whispered: "Commander Zhang Hongyu came to see me the night before yesterday. To be honest, he wants me to recruit people. As long as you agree, General Zhang Hongyu will go to the Ministry of War to ask for you. Once he shows up, the higher-ups will always give you some face, which is much better than what you are doing now."
"You're not lying to me? Is your new army really going to Qi State?"
"Why would I lie to you? This is a military secret, and very few people know about it now."
"Okay, I'll go to your new army."
"Okay, I'll go find the officer and get your application back first, and you write another one!" Cui Chengxiu was very happy. Dong Zhuang was a brave general. The commander would be happy to be able to pull him to the new army. (To be continued)
