[Qing Chuan] Five elder brothers intermittent salted fish

"The current situation is that Galdan is waiting for work in Mobei, and my Qing soldiers are exhausted from running all the way. Now that the West Army has been unable to come to join, the Central Army and the Eastern Army alone cannot complete the task." There is no gap in the attack." Yin Qi held the flagpole in his hand, and stretched forward to the sand table until the area where the small flag was planted.

Prince Fuquan leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the edge of the sand table, and asked with some doubts: "The terrain in Zhaomodo is indeed a good place for an ambush, but it is very far away from us, is it possible to transfer General Fei Yanggu Leading the soldiers from the West Road to ambush here? But they must be suffering from hunger and cold now, and their situation may not be as good as ours! Long live, should we first provide supplies for General Fei Yanggu, and avoid direct conflict with Galdan to preserve our strength? Let's talk about other things!"

As soon as Fuquan said this, Yinqi held up the flagpole in his hand and said lightly: "Since my army in the middle road arrived in the Kelulun River Basin, the daily rations received by each soldier have gradually decreased. If my prediction is correct, The shortage of food will only last for a few days!

At this time, there may be a glimmer of life to advance, and it is a dead end to defend or retreat! "

Yin Qi noticed the lack of food in the camp a few days ago, and he has been talking until today, one is because he doesn't want to distract the army, and the other is that he believes that Khan Ama will have a countermeasure.As soon as these words came out today, I didn't expect that there were not a few generals who didn't know the shortage of food.

The emperor didn't say yes or no, just said: "Shaking the morale of the army before the battle is a death penalty!"

"Being defeated without a fight is a death penalty!" Yin Qi looked at his Khan Ama and said every word clearly.

The emperor pursed his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Before I left for the battle, I issued a secret decree to command Wuliu Village to transfer the salary, but the army's supply of food is indeed too fast, and Wuliu Village must take a long time to arrive. .In the past few days, if you keep it down or..."

"I don't think so. The lack of food in the army is a big taboo in the army. If you can detect the lack of food from the daily rations, how many days can you hide it from the soldiers? If there is no food, the army's morale will be slackened. If it is slack, there will be no combat effectiveness. It is already clear whether to fight or not to win.

But Khan Ama, even if we know that we are short of food, Galdan doesn't know.What's more, I have a large army in the middle, so it would be perfect to make a feint attack this time.Besides, Galdan burned Kulun and the grasslands south of the Tula River to nothing. He knew that General Feiyangu must be suffering from hunger and cold now. "

After Yinqi finished speaking, the elder brother immediately asked: "You mean...Galdan will abandon the middle road and go to the west road? But didn't you say that Galdan might come to attack our middle road? ?"

"Yes! He may come, but we can't let him come, we have to let him go to Fei Yanggu!" After speaking, Yinqi turned to look at Sun Sike, and said with a smile: "General, you and General Fei Yanggu are both An old general who has gone through the San Francisco Rebellion, General Fei Yanggu ordered you to report, so he won’t be sitting in Wengjin waiting to starve to death, right?”

Sun Sike frowned slightly. Although he had heard of the name of fifth elder brother Yinqi before, he didn't know that he was such a smart person who could understand the situation of the battle and dare to speak out.

In fact, since the moment he and Fei Yanggu received the imperial decree, they realized that there was a huge loophole in the layout of the Long Live Lord in terms of supplies, and the two immediately made a decision to split up the [-]-plus army For [-] elites, the rest of the soldiers were all changed to supply work, which was one of the important reasons why they had been delayed for a long time along the way.

Just ordering the reduction of soldiers without authorization is a capital crime, and now it is added to the crime of delaying the fighter plane. How dare he speak out in front of Long Live Lord? Supplies!

But now that Yinqi has said so much, Sun Sike has to say it if he doesn't say it. If he misses the opportunity again, it may not be such a simple matter of losing.It's just that even if you say it, you can't say it all.

"When I left, I made a plan with General Fei Yanggu to reduce the army on the West Road to [-] elite generals, and the rest of the soldiers will guarantee logistics and supplies. The ministers and others are also afraid that Galdan will lead his troops to attack. The Chen Xilu army is too exhausted to fight, fearing that the damage will only be greater! Therefore, it is necessary to take this countermeasure." As soon as Sun Sike said this, he immediately knelt down and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Yinqi stood aside, muttering with a smile on his face: "Old fox!"

"Well done! I don't blame you, it is appropriate to wait for work with ease!" The emperor patted Sun Sike on the shoulder without hesitation in his praise. To be honest, Fei Yanggu's more than 1 elite soldiers really comforted him a lot.

Seeing this, Yinqi said: "Now there are ten thousand elite soldiers in the west road, waiting for the fish to take the bait! So we can't give Galdan any idea of ​​attacking the middle road, even if we scare him Scared back!

Therefore, I suggested that we should divide our troops into two groups in the middle to make a sudden attack to overwhelm the people, cut off his east route, and force the Galdan tribe to retreat westward, and the place he must pass through when he retreats westward is Zhaomoduo.Zhaomoduo has been a commanding height that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. It is on the east bank of the Tula River, with Kent Mountain in the north, Tuna Ridge in the south, and Khan Mountain in the west. This place has been forested since ancient times and the situation is dangerous. Best for ambush. "

Sun Sike looked at Zhao Moduo on the sand table, and echoed, "That's right, the old name of this place is Hulanhushuwen. It's the place where Ming Zhudi broke through the dangers and defended Wara Mahamu. He won the first battle."

Yinqi: "Today, my Qing Dynasty will also succeed in this battle, and have a good reputation in history!"

After finishing speaking, Yinqi suddenly turned around, knelt on one knee and said in a vibrating voice: "My minister, Yinqi, invites troops. When traveling on Qingqi, he only takes three or two relatives to Wengjin to report to General Fei Yanggu, and help him to win this battle."

As soon as Yinqi's words fell, Suo'etu rushed out and said, "Long live, brother Wu is still young and has never been on the battlefield. Although the plan is very good, it is only on paper! This trip is dangerous, how can we let you go to the battlefield?" Brother Wu, go? Furthermore, even if Zhao Moduo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is very dangerous!"

"It's because of the danger that my sons of the royal family need to be there to reassure the army, isn't it?" Yin Qi looked at Suo'etu coldly and asked sharply.

Suo'etu choked on these words, opened his mouth for a long time but didn't say a word, instead Yinqi said: "Besides, I have another place to go!"

During this half hour today, everyone was stunned by the fifth elder brother and was speechless. His thoughts and strategies were like an old general who has fought in the battlefield for many years, not like a teenage boy at all.After several conversations, most of the people who had doubts about him changed their attitudes, and even veteran Sun Sike couldn't wait to ask:

"Fifth brother, do you have a plan?"

Yinqi picked up the bamboo pole with one hand, and said lightly: "There will be a fierce battle between the Galdan tribe and General Fei Yanggu in Zhaomodo. The most taboo thing in such a fierce battle is to lose the rear, so what I have to do is to bypass Zhaomo Go straight to the camp of the Galdan tribe."

"This plan is very clever. If it succeeds in the rear, once the news reaches the ears of the soldiers of the Galdan tribe, the morale of the army will surely collapse." Sun Sike's appearance of agreeing very much showed a bit of respect and admiration for Yinqi.

The emperor frowned but remained silent. He never knew that Yinqi had extraordinary military insight. Every strategy he said today was based on an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us. Not only did he take into account the The Qing soldiers' ability to adapt to the cold environment of the Mobei grassland and the supply situation also took into account the terrain of the battle and the ambush strategy.

This whole plan seems to have been deduced hundreds of times in his mind, the most rare thing is the confidence and perseverance in his eyes when he said every word, he is extremely confident that he will not lose, he is extremely confident in himself It can really leave a illustrious military exploit in the first battle of Zhaomoduo, sweeping away Mobei and unifying the Mongolian grassland.

As the father's emperor, he wanted to give him a chance for the first time, even though he knew the danger... what father would stop his son from becoming famous!Even though Yinqi is a prince who has enjoyed wealth and splendor since he was born, but here he really made great contributions to unify the great ambition of the Qing border, whether it is the long live emperor or Khan Ama's father, it should be fulfilled.

Emperor: "I agree! How many people you want to bring and who you want to bring are up to you. This time, I promise you that the power is up to you!"

Seeing this, Yinqi quickly kowtowed to thank him, he knew that not everyone in the big tent today believed that he could accomplish things, nor did everyone believe that what he said could come true.They doubted, they were jealous, they thought that Yinqi was talking on paper, they thought that Yinqi was greedy for merit, but since Wansui made his will, it would be better to wait for him to be defeated and ruin his reputation.

Outside the big tent, the weather soon changed. People who were exposed to the scorching sun in the morning were peeling off their skin, but now it was the cold wind that made people shiver.The place where they are now is not far from the Kherlen River. It is located in the open grassland and adjacent to the river bank. The strong wind is blowing like ghosts and wolves.

Yinqi got the order and only replied: "The minister leads the order!" He turned his head slightly, and the generals in the tent either looked away or were full of contempt. Almost no one believed that he could really be like Huo Qubing. Xu has become a war god of a generation, but the veteran Sun Sike from Xilu Wengjin is different from everyone else.

He even took the initiative to say: "Fifth elder brother, I am familiar with the terrain here, why don't you let me go with you?"

"With the help of a general, it's like a tiger with wings." Yinqi said it politely, but he also thought so in his heart. After all, Sun Sike had experienced the chaos of the San Francisco. children.If there is Sun Sike in this battle, not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort, it would be better than bringing pig teammates to give away the head.

Yinqi accepted Sun Sike's initiative to invite Ying, and respectfully said to the emperor: "My lord, it is natural to ride lightly and lightly to communicate. I plan to set off tonight. Except for General Sun Sike, I will only take my few people on the Mongolian grassland with me." B/T/Er, they are familiar with the terrain of the grassland and know where to go to save time and effort. I hope the Holy One will agree!"

Emperor: "As I said, you can be the master. I understand the reason why the general is out, and the master's order is not acceptable. Just do it cheaply. Yinqi, come back safely!"

Yinqi: "Yes! Khan Ama"
