When Alimo left the camp, he did not find anyone paying attention to him from a distance. The man immediately entered another tent and said with cupped hands: "Second Brother, after you left, King Khan summoned Ali."
Pay it in silently."
Hongshi was playing chess inside. When he heard this, he threw the chess piece away and said, "This fox is really cunning. The hunter spent so long setting traps but couldn't make it believe it. Alimo... must have let him
This guy is watching my every move."
Dark Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't this be detrimental to our plan? Second Brother, do you want to change the plan?"
Hongshi smiled slightly and said: "Although the fox is cunning, it can't escape from the hunter's hand. Even if we continue according to the original plan, I will not only kill Yinzhen, but also destroy Galdan's army of hundreds of thousands, so that
He never came back. He wanted to capture the Qing Dynasty and become the lord of the Central Plains. Humph, he didn’t even know how much he weighed."
Both Galdan and Hongshi had their own hidden agendas and were carrying out their own plans secretly, but the difference was that Hongshi saw through Galdan's plan, but Galdan did not.
While they were preparing for training overnight, Yinzhen did not let the army rush on the road overnight. He ordered them to stop and rest and camp until dawn before continuing on their way.
The generals, including Suoli, were quite puzzled by his order. At this time, shouldn't they rush to the Sarik River to fight Jungar? Why did Yinzhen seem to be in no hurry at all?
When Ling Ruo asked about this, Yinzhen fiddled with the fire and said: "Although traveling overnight can speed up the march, it will increase the fatigue of the soldiers. In terms of numbers and combat power, we are not as good as Jungar. If we continue
If you fight with a tired body, you really have no chance of winning. Li Shumi...it was just by making this mistake that the opponent easily won. If you make the same mistake once, it is accidental, but if you make it twice, it is stupid."
Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Then the emperor has a complete plan to deal with Junger and Hongshi?"
Yinzhen sighed and said: "Not yet. Hongshi has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and he is very familiar with our usual troop deployment. You can tell it by watching Li Shumi's battle, but if you want to do it again,
It’s too late to come up with a new formation, and it will take some time to practice again, and what we lack most is time.”
As he spoke, tiny snowflakes fell in the night sky and disappeared without a trace before getting close to the burning fire. Ling Ruo glanced at the dark sky and said, "It's been snowing for two days and then it snowed again. I don't know this time."
It's going to rain for a few more days. Fortunately, before setting off for the expedition, the emperor asked the soldiers to bring enough cotton-padded clothes, otherwise many people would freeze to death just from this snow." After a pause, she said: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, I'll help you.
You go and rest in the tent."
Yinzhen didn't answer her words. He just stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes that continued to fall and then melted away. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Ling Ruo knew that Yinzhen was thinking about something, so he didn't disturb him and stayed with her quietly. After thinking quietly for half an hour, Yinzhen finally made a move. He clenched his cold hands and called Suo Li who was standing not far away.
, ordered: "If it snows heavily tomorrow, let the whole army rest for another day."
Suori was stunned for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the snow will not delay the march, and there is no need for rest."
Yinzhen didn't explain anything to him and said directly: "I have my own plan. You just go down and pass the order according to my words. In addition, you select all the soldiers who are good at ice-playing."
Suoli didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yinzhen's gourd, and he didn't dare to ask more. He could only follow the instructions and pass on the order. Soon, hundreds of soldiers who were good at ice games were brought to Yinzhen.
In the night snow that was gradually falling, Yinzhen stood in front of these hundreds of soldiers and said solemnly: "You are all my soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. I don't ask you to shed your blood for the Qing Dynasty, because you are also alive.
People have thoughts and feelings. No one wants to die like this and turn into a corpse or a corpse whose name is unknown. I
All I ask of you is to guard the land behind you and don’t let foreigners step one step further. Behind you are your relatives and your home. Once you retreat, everything will be turned into ashes. Don’t be ridiculous and think that all this will not be affected.
In your hometown, how can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned? Is this what you expected to see?"
"I don't want to!" I don't know who said it first, and then hundreds of people shouted in unison. In fact, since the beginning of the expedition, their mood has been very low and pessimistic, because they know that they are not elite warriors. To put it harshly, they are just a bunch of people.
A ragtag army with no systematic training and just a few days of running-in. It is simply a dream for such an army to defeat the Jungar army that is advancing all the way. Not to mention that the number is far smaller than the opponent, even if Yinzhen Yu
Going on a personal expedition can't give them much confidence. Some people have even thought about taking the opportunity to escape as soon as the war starts, flee far away, and then return to their hometowns when everything is over. But at this moment, dormant
The morale in their hearts has been inspired. They all have parents and relatives, and they all have people who care about them in their hearts. They may not be willing to sacrifice their lives for the vain loyalty and patriotism, but they are all willing to sacrifice their bodies and fight for their loved ones.
Take your last breath.
With the words of "no", Yinzhen saw that the eyes of the soldiers standing beside him had changed. They were no longer as lifeless as before. This was exactly what he wanted to see.
Yinzhen suppressed the itching in his throat and said loudly: "I will not tell you that I will definitely win this battle, but I will stand with you. If you win, I will return to the court with you; if you lose,
I will accompany you to return home wrapped in horse leather. So please help me win this battle and come back alive together!"
These words caused the soldiers to fall silent for a while, and then they all knelt down. Their passionate voices echoed in the night sky for a long time, "I am willing to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death and obey the emperor's orders!"
Although Yinzhen was speaking to these hundreds of soldiers, other soldiers also heard these words. Even if they stood farther away, those who had not heard them also knew what Yinzhen said through other people's narrations, which made their thoughts
My mood has changed to some extent.
At this moment, after the hundreds of soldiers finished speaking, a louder voice sounded in the night sky, "I am willing to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death and wait for the emperor's orders!"
For a moment, in the military camp, except for Yinzhen and Ling Ruo, there was no one standing. Everyone knelt on the ground, bowing to Yinzhen with sincerity, not because of his status as emperor, but because of his status as an emperor.
people.
Ling Ruo looked at all this with tears in her eyes. She knew that Yinzhen was the most suitable person to lead the army, so no matter what Cheng Fei and the others said, they never dissuaded her. The imperial commander could go on a personal expedition... or he could really win this battle.
Fighting, but Yinzhen's body will completely collapse.
