At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, after many days of rapid march, the Qin army led by Zhang Ji had arrived at the edge of Langmeng City.
"It seems that Zhao Guo has not discovered our whereabouts yet."
Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Historically, the Qin army divided its forces to destroy Zhao by "going to Taiyuan and capturing Langmeng", and the leading general was Li Xin.
But Li Mu had been dead for three months at that time, and no one could see through the Qin army's strategy.
Now that Li Mu is still alive, Zhang Ji doesn't dare to be careless at all.
However, before Zhang Ji could give the order to set up camp, Teng beside him suddenly spoke.
"General, please order me to be the vanguard to attack Langmeng!"
In an instant, Li Xin, Qiang Yu, and Su Jiao glared at each other angrily. Although they did not say a single word, judging from the shape of their mouths, it was obvious that they were greeting Teng's female ancestors.
How can you be so greedy for credit? Before the army has set up camp, you directly rush to take the position of vanguard. You are so disrespectful!
Teng didn't care at all about the three people's secret curses on him. In the world, you are the greatest!
Above and below you, your military merits are the greatest!
With military merit, power, money, fame and women, what can you get?
He had a rough background and joined the Dead Soldiers Battalion to become a warrior. Without any help from relatives and friends, and without relying on military merit, how could he achieve the position of leader of the Dead Soldiers Battalion?
Common people?
They are just common people today, and their ancestors were also developed, so they have their own surnames. When there are more common people with surnames, they are called common people.
As for me, I don’t even have a surname, only the name “Teng”, which was given to me by a kind-hearted scholar passing by the village when I was a child out of gratitude for a meal.
He did not have the family background or connections that other generals relied on, and he came from a place like the Dead Soldiers' Camp, where status was only judged by military merit. Naturally, Teng's desire for military merit far exceeded that of the other generals.
"Teng, your dead soldier battalion is already serving as the vanguard battalion these days. It opens roads in the mountains and builds bridges when encountering water. Why do you need to ask for orders to be the vanguard again?"
Zhang Ji shook his head. Just when Teng was happily planning to take over the task of attacking Langmeng City, Zhang Ji continued: "But it is precisely because your Death Soldier Battalion is too exhausted these days. The task of this first battle will be handed over to..."
Zhang Ji's eyes wandered around Li Xin, Qiang Yu, Su Jiao and Meng Tian, and finally landed on Meng Tian.
Although Meng Tian is also a general of the Qingzhuang faction, he is not his direct descendant.
The circle of the Qingzhuang Sect is too large, and the generals of the Qingzhuang Sect who were promoted by Zhang Ji are direct descendants of Zhang Ji.
The favor of promotion is a great favor no matter which country or dynasty it is in. Such people are more obedient to Zhang Ji and can use it more smoothly.
Although Li Xin and Qiang You are not Zhang Ji's direct descendants, but the so-called Lang Guan descendants, that is, Lang Guan who came from Ying Zheng's side, they can be regarded as promoted by Zhang Ji, and they have followed Zhang Ji in the battles for these years, and they are extremely convinced. Zhang machine.
But Meng Tian and Wang Ben were different. They were from the top generals in Da Qin, and they had not been promoted by Zhang Ji.
Although Wang Ben joined the Yulin Army, his position level has not changed, so he has not accepted Zhang Ji's promotion.
After all, Wang Ben had served under Zhang Ji and had made many military exploits, but Meng Tian suddenly parachuted into Zhang Ji's command, and with his title of public transport, he had many achievements over the same public transport. Su Jiao, who had an impressive record of success, received the position of Yajiang.
Zhang Ji and Meng Tian knew each other, and knew about Meng Tian's impressive achievements in the future, and understood Meng Tian's abilities. However, the rest of the generals and soldiers under his command were not like this, and it was inevitable that some people were worried about whether Meng Tian was here to gild a dandy.
After all, war games are just words on paper. Zhao Kuo can easily defeat his father Zhao She in war games, but he doesn't know how capable he is on the battlefield.
Just like in the simulated universe, no matter how hard you are...
No soldier wants his general to be someone who can only talk on paper. After all, this is a matter of life and death for everyone.
The people of Lao Qin are very simple. No matter whose son or grandson you are, it will not be useful in the army, and it may even have a certain counterproductive effect.
In the Qin army, the most direct way to convince your colleagues and subordinates is to show off your own abilities and use your military records and military exploits to silence those who are unconvinced.
What Meng Tian needs is such an opportunity to shock the group of soldiers under his command who are dissatisfied with his airborne landing.
This is an opportunity to bring Meng Tian closer to the generals, and it is also his show of goodwill and care for Meng Tian.
"Meng Tian."
"The end will be here."
Meng Tian, who was suddenly called by name, was a little confused, but even though he was a little happy, even though Meng Ao and Meng Wu often taught him to keep his emotions and anger hidden, the young Meng Tian still had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
This was the first time he besieged a city alone, rather than executing military orders and pre-arranged plans.
The difference between a famous general and a good general lies in the ability to independently command operations.
If you have this ability, you will have the opportunity to become a famous general. Otherwise, in your lifetime, you will only be an excellent executor, just like a good general like Li Mu's deputy general Sima Shang.
"I'll give you two days to capture Langmeng City. Are you confident?"
Zhang Ji's words shocked everyone, that was Lang Mengcheng!
Shangdang came south to Langmeng City, and the mountainous terrain was difficult to defeat.
Strictly speaking, Langmeng City is a mountain city. It was built between the passes of Hengshan Mountain. It is no less steep than Hangu Pass, and there are towering cliffs on both sides. It is said that "one man can pass the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it". It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe the dangerous passes of Langmeng City.
"The army is moving quickly and cannot be delayed here."
Meng Tian leaned over to salute, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said confidently: "If the general allows Tian's subordinates to stay away from night duty and feast for a day, Tian can conquer this city in one day!"
"Yes." Zhang Ji looked at the scribe beside him, "The night watch and banquet will be arranged by the chief historian."
This scribe was Zhang Ji's commander Shi Yangzhen.
The position of chief historian is roughly equivalent to the secretary-general. It is established in both the prime minister's office and the military. Although it has no real power in name, most of the military's clerical affairs are generally left to the chief historian.
For example, punishment for violating military discipline, review of military merit, summary and summary of intelligence from military scouts, etc.
Yang Huan was born in the Huayin Yang family and was the nephew of Yang Duanhe. Unlike Yang Duanhe and Yang Wengzi who took the route of military generals, Yang Huan preferred to deal with these trivial military affairs.
This is a man with a very sharp mind. He has a bottom line that cannot be violated. Anyone who touches it will die. However, he is very flexible and adaptable above the bottom line. He is a little less rigid than the Qin people. Such a long history is suitable. Zhang Ji's heart.
For a lazy man like him, with such a soldier commander Shi, his courage has become much lighter, and he can devote himself fully to the battle on the battlefield.
