[Qing Chuan] Koi Little Promise

Kangxi 34th December 29th.

Emperor Kangxi traveled in person, and the group traveled for a month before arriving in Mongolia.

The journey was so difficult that the elder brothers endured it in a daze.

This child Yinzhen is even more outstanding.

Yinzhen was worried at first that he had a rough personality and was prone to trouble.

But along the way, Yinzhen made him change a lot. Not only did he get along well with the generals, but he was also able to calm down and study military books hard.

This made Yinzhen very pleased.

When he wrote the letter, he did not forget to write all these things in order to reassure the Gospel.

After Gospel received the letter, he was both happy and a little sad.

Ulanara smiled and persuaded: "Emiang, why bother, the sixth brother has really grown up now, you should be happy."

"You're right."

Gospel nodded, and wiped away tears with a handkerchief.

This person is like this. In the past, when the child was not worried, he would worry about everywhere. Now that the child is relieved, his heart feels distressed.

"This letter is written to you by Yinzhen. You can read it when you go back. If you have anything to say, write a letter yourself and send it out together." Gospel put away his tears and said to Ulanara with a smile .

This time Yinzhen wrote two letters back, one for her and one for Ulanara.

Ulanara's cheeks blushed quietly, and she nodded shyly in agreement.

After she took the letter back home, she couldn't wait to open it as soon as she entered the palace. The young couple have been married for so long, and this is the first time that they have been separated for such a long time. He didn't show his yearning for Yinzhen.

But she really didn't miss him.

After opening the letter.

When Ulanara saw Yinzhen's handwriting, she couldn't help crying.

In the letter, Yinzhen's words were earnest, and every sentence was full of concern, Ulanara couldn't help laughing again as he looked at it.

The nuns and maids beside them couldn't help pursing their lips and secretly laughing.

This Fujin comforted the imperial concubine just now, but now it's not the same, crying and laughing.

In fact, this is also inevitable.

"Go get the Four Treasures of the Study."

Ulanara said after reading the letter.

She couldn't wait to write back to their grandfather.

And at the same time.

In the Kherlen River area, the Qing army and the Junggar army were more than 30 miles away from each other across the river.

Kangxi took off the binoculars. Although he was over 40 years old, he was strong and straight. He was wearing a bright yellow armor and looked majestic. "Send an order to set up camp here and light a fire."

"Yes."

Musk immediately agreed.

Let people pass on Kangxi's order.

All the soldiers stopped in their tracks one after another. After a while, the smoke from the bonfire rose slowly. Under Kangxi's signal, a lot of meat was brought out. Once the flames were roasted, the smell of meat permeated the entire camp.

When the north wind blew, the aroma of barbecue and rice was carried to the Junggar army on the other side.

More than 30 miles, although a little far away, is enough for the Junggar army on the other side to see the rising bonfire and cheering soldiers here.

The soldiers of the Junggar Army smelled the aroma and gnawed on the frozen dough that was harder than a stone, and their saliva almost flowed down.

In the big tent.

Kangxi ate meals with several elder brothers.

Their food was just hotter than the soldiers outside, nothing special.

Because every second counts on the battlefield.

Therefore, here, Kangxi did not have any rules of not talking when eating or sleeping.

After he took a sip of the soup, he asked Yinyou: "Lao Liu, I heard that you read military books recently, how did you like it?"

Yin You gnawed at the meat, wiped his mouth, "Huang Ama, I think it's okay."

"It's okay?" Kangxi smiled, "What kind of statement is that?"

Musk and the others also laughed.

Yinyou scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Isn't my son trying to be humble?"

Yin Qi next to him choked when he heard this.

He covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed, and gave Yinyou a helpless look.

Saying this, is that still modest?

"Oh, from this point of view, the sixth child is very confident. Then I will test you."

Kangxi asked with a smile.

Yinzhen was not afraid, he said decisively: "Huang Ama just ask."

"Okay, courageous." Kangxi praised. Compared with other sons who are nervous when asked, he prefers Lao Liu's straightforward and decisive character, "I will test your marching layout just now. What do you think? Sample?"

"Huang Ama's marching layout is naturally good."

Yin Yu said with a smile.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Kangxi scolded angrily and amusedly: "I don't know that my marching layout is good, I want you to explain it."

"That's how it is." Yinzhen stood up with a smile, he cupped his hands towards Kangxi, "Huang Ama, my lords, brothers, I will just say a few words today, if there is something inappropriate, please correct me. "

When he said this, he paused, and then continued: "In my opinion, the layout of Huang Ama's march today is quite in line with the "Sun Tzu's Art of War". , And let people take out the meat to roast, it is intentional to show that our army is strong and has enough food and grass."

Speaking of this, Yinyou looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi stroked his beard and nodded, "Go ahead."

Yinzhen suddenly became more confident.

He continued confidently: "Galdan doesn't know the strength of our army now. He sees that our army is strong and strong, with more people and more food, and high morale. However, their Junggar army has no more than [-] people. Because of the winter, there is not enough food and grass. Fear arises in the heart. The Junggar army's people are not in harmony with each other. Seeing our situation again, the army must be panicked. This is exactly what is said in the Art of War - the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the soldiers, and the next is to attack the soldiers. Siege."

"Not bad." Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinyou's analysis, but he didn't praise too much on the surface.

But just the word "good" is enough to make Yinzhen happy.

Muska and the others also praised Yinyou one after another, thinking to themselves, they had heard that Lord Long Live loves the two sons born to the imperial concubine, but looking at it now, they really deserved their reputation.

Long live Lord, no one else asked today, but he asked Yinzhen.

Don't you just want to make him famous?

After Kangxi finished asking Yinyou, he looked at the other brothers again, "Let's guess, what will Galdan do next?"

Yinti and others were silent for a moment.

Then Yinti answered first: "Huang Ama, according to Yi Erchen, Galdan may be eager to attack. We have just camped and rested. If they attack, they will seize the opportunity when I have not rested well."

Kangxi nodded.

Musca and others also showed a look of approval.

What Yinti said was true, this timing was indeed a good one, if Galdan wanted to make a move, it would be at this moment.

"Then Yinti, I'll ask you again, since the timing is so good, why do I camp here to rest?"

Kangxi twirled his beard and asked back.

These words stopped Yinti from asking.

He couldn't say that Kangxi's decision was inappropriate, how could Kangxi not think of the problems he could think of.

"This is precisely because Huang Ama also expected that this move would make Galdan even more afraid. We are strong and strong, and Galdan doesn't know the situation. Even if he knows the timing is good, he dare not act rashly." Yinzhen explained aloud. Yinti's encirclement, "Huang Ama used Zhuge Kongming's empty city strategy this time."

"Yes."

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, "Soldiers are deceitful. When marching and fighting, it is necessary to hold the enemy in the palm of your hand."

All the elder brothers hurriedly said: "My son knows."

"Yinzhen, since you can see my layout, tell me what Galdan plans to do next?"

Kangxi asked.

Yinzhen stood up, and he said calmly: "According to my son, Galdan will definitely retreat tonight."

His firm tone attracted the attention of Musca and others.

The fourth elder brother's words are too full. It is not difficult for Galdan to retreat, but tonight, the time is too certain.

"Are you so sure?"

On the contrary, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with interest.

Yinzhen smiled and said: "Galdan people have little food, and now there are various internal discords. If he retreats, he must retreat at night, for fear of being discovered by us. If he retreats during the day, then once we discover , our army will definitely pursue it. Galdan's army will be disintegrated, and he will suffer a great loss. Therefore, I speculate that he will retreat tonight."

"Well, Musca, Feyangu"

Kangxi pondered thoughtfully, and called Muska and Fei Yanggu.

"The slave is here."

Muska and Fei Yanggu quickly agreed.

"Muska, you send spies to watch them tonight. If there is any sign of retreat, immediately lead your troops to pursue them," Kangxi said decisively.

Muscat hurriedly said yes.

Kangxi looked at Fei Yanggu again, "Fei Yanggu, you lead three thousand elite soldiers and go around from behind. When the night is dark, you take the elite soldiers and set off. Whether he retreats or not tonight, let's make dumplings .”

"Yes!"

Fei Yang said in an ancient way: "The last general takes orders."

Kangxi arranged everything properly.

Brothers are also leading a team of people, each with flames in their eyes, gearing up, eagerly waiting for the night to come.

All of them wanted to get Galdan's head in their hearts.

And across the Kerulen River.

Galdan had already made up his mind and decided to wait until the night was dark and the Qing army rested there, so he retreated overnight while the night was dark.

Galdan is not an idiot, otherwise he would not have escaped from Prince Yu last time. He is ambitious and able to bend and stretch. This retreat may be a shameful thing in the eyes of others, but in his opinion, Nothing matters.

Just kidding, the Qing army on the opposite side is full of heads today, their morale is high, and there is plenty of food and grass. Under such circumstances, it is called stupid to fight the Qing army.

Under the anxious waiting on both sides of the war.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, the moon in winter is gray, and it is dark everywhere.

In such a dark night, gunpowder smoke spread silently.
