lied to Kangxi

Chapter 559
Hearing that Yuzhu had become General Anyuan, Tong Guowei ordered someone to pass the message that afternoon that he wanted to see Yuzhu and Longkodo.

After the old ancestor spoke, Longkodo and Yuzhu didn't dare to neglect, and simply went to accompany the old man and have dinner together.

Seeing his son and grandson coming so quickly, Tong Guowei was very satisfied, and immediately ordered to set the meal.

The food and drink had been prepared long ago, and they were all Yu Zhu's favorite delicacies.Among them, the most rare thing is that the old man specially invited foreign missionaries to distill two bottles of liquor for Yu Zhu.

Tong Guowei didn't know exactly how much liquor was.It's just that when drinking, the throat is hot.

During the dinner, Tong Guowei glanced at Longkodo and said, "Third brother, you must warn Zhu'er that you must never rush in with a light soldier who wants to grab credit."

Tong Guowei recognized Yuzhu as his grandson, Longkodo was very satisfied, and naturally he would not contradict the old man again.

"Ama, you're right. My son has already taught Zhu'er a lesson. Tell him to be cautious when he enters the army, and he must never have the intention of grabbing credit."

Tong Guowei nodded and sighed: "Zhu'er, your great uncle, my brother Tong Guogang, was ambushed by the Junggar people because of his rash advance. .”

"The Junggar people are as cunning as the Xixia people back then. They will never fight you decisively when you have enough food." Tong Guowei was really worried, because he was afraid that Yuzhu would be ambushed by Yuzhu who was greedy for merit.

"Zhu'er, if you make a mistake, who can I rely on in the future for the big family of my old Tong family?" Tong Guowei said very seriously, "If anything happens, well, the old man said Just in case, you just go first. The Han people have an old saying, if you keep green hills, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood, understand?”

When Yuzhu heard this, Tong Guowei obviously cared about his safety, and even said the words of fleeing early after the defeat.

"Mafa, don't worry. If there is food, I will enter the army, and if there is no food, I will return. I will never be greedy for merit." Yuzhu stood up and said very sincerely.

Tong Guowei stroked his beard and nodded, sighed heavily, and said, "Jiangshan belongs to today, and you are the pillar of my old Tong family. Remember, remember!"

This involves the issue of the country and the small family.

Tong Guowei saw very clearly that the old emperor wanted to expand the territory, and the position of the old Tong family was to help if he could, and he could not force it.

If Yuzhu lost his life in Hami, no matter how large the territory of the Qing Dynasty was, the old Tong family had already declined, what good would it be?
The three people present here are all very sensible people.

The old emperor gave Yuzhu the honorable title, but it was the job of the head coach, and the three of them didn't say anything.

Three days later, it will be an auspicious day.

In front of the Meridian Gate, Yuzhu knelt down to receive General Anyuan's seal, military talisman and the white rainbow knife bestowed by the imperial court.

Due to sending troops abroad, many Manchurian bannermen knew Cao Yi.Therefore, the old emperor agreed to Yuzhu, allowing him to take Qian Yinglan and Liu Taiqing to wait on the road.

When he left Beijing again, besides Yuzhu's [-] new troops, there were also Eight Banners elites from the [-] Firearms Battalion.

After Yuzhu returned to Xi'an with his troops, Nian Gengyao had already led [-] elite green battalion soldiers to Xining.

However, Yuzhu did not take the usual route. He had already told the old emperor that instead of going to Hami in Gansu, he went north to the Uliasutai area, turned to the Hutus Pass, and then went south to the hinterland of the Junggar people.

The biggest problem in the northwest region is not the lack of soldiers, but the lack of food due to sparsely populated areas.

Yuzhu took 3 people to the west of the Uliasutai area, and could exchange tea bricks, salt, cotton cloth and silk for the cattle and sheep raised by the Mongolians along the way.

As we all know, as long as there is a lot of meat in the dishes and there is enough oil and water, it is impossible to consume so much food.

A cart of salt, or a cart of tea bricks, can exchange a lot of cows and sheep, and what is saved is extremely precious food!

More importantly, the Junggar people had long been on guard against the Qing army's western expedition, and there were a lot of eyeliners all the way from Xi'an to Gansu.

Yuzhu led the army to bypass Gansu, and the Junggar people couldn't figure out his movements.

After the army set off to the north, Yuzhu still followed the old method, and the various tribes he passed along the way used tea, salt and other things to recruit Mongolian warriors.

Last time, when Yuzhu took the Hutusi Mountain Pass, the Mongols along the way had already tasted a big sweetness.

This time, I heard that Yuzhu was going to attack the Junggars again.Good guy, there are too many Mongolians who signed up for the robbery.

Yuzhu took on the task of restraining, so along the way, he was not in a hurry at all, he stopped and walked, stopped and walked.

By the time he met Celeng, the general manager of Uliasutai, Yuzhu had already followed more than 8000 Mongolian skirmishers.

After the army entered the Hutus Fortress, the quartermasters thoroughly counted the grain inventory, and Yu Zhu was very satisfied with the result.

The grain brought out from Xi'an was only consumed one-twentieth along the way.

On the contrary, there are 10,000+ more cattle and sheep.

The main reason is that cattle and sheep can always be exchanged during the march.

In this way, the food for the army is full of oil and water, and the food is naturally consumed very little.

To put it bluntly, what Yuzhu did was no different from that of Da Shengkui.

It's just that Yuzhu belongs to the category of armed escort.

The bulk commodities that Da Shengkui sold to the prairie were mainly tea bricks, salt, cotton cloth and silk.

After resting at the Hutusi Pass for three days, under Celen's envious eyes, Yuzhu led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the Tianshan Mountains and into the Junggar Basin.

However, after the Qing army entered the hinterland south of the Tianshan Mountains, they did not see a single Junggar along the way.

In Yu Zhu's mind, a series of words came out involuntarily: fortify the wall and clear the field, lure the enemy to go deep, cut off the food road!
The Junggar people belong to the Oirat Mongolian branch.Their living habits are still living by water and grass, and they don't build cities at all.

Without building the city, the Qing army would have no focus on the direction of attack, which is very suitable for the tactics of luring the enemy to go deep and then cutting off the food road.

But who is Yu Zhu?
Yuzhu is not an ordinary person. He knows better than everyone in the Qing Dynasty that the essence of the Junggar Khanate consists of two large areas. One is the oasis in the Junggar Basin, and the other is the oasis in the Tarim Basin.

Therefore, after Yuzhu led his troops to the ruins of the ancient city in Luntai County, he stopped moving.

Luntai County existed in the Tang Dynasty, which later became Dihua City and is now Urumqi.

Contrary to what the Junggar people imagined, Yuzhu's team carried a large number of cattle and sheep.

After occupying the oasis, the Mongols who came with Yuzhu simply put their cattle and sheep on the fertile prairie.

What does it mean to learn from barbarians to control barbarians?
This is Yuzhu's way of doing it.

When we arrive on the prairie, we don’t eat much meat and only eat food. How can the logistics support us?
After setting up the big tent, Yuzhu wandered around leisurely all day long, seemingly doing nothing.

Anyway, after occupying the largest oasis, he will not leave.

The common people on the Junggar side were very angry.

The entire Junggar Khanate area is nothing more than two oases. Yuzhu occupies the section with the most fertile water plants, and they are not leaving.

However, from April to June, Tse Wang Alabutan was really calm, and he never brought his main force to Yuzhu for a decisive battle.

As for Yuzhu, he has reached the former site of Luntai County, which is the hinterland of the Junggar people anyway.

As a partial teacher, even if Yuzhu ordered to retreat now, there would be no problem at all.

However, Yuzhu was patiently herding sheep and cattle near Luntai County, without any intention of retreating.

Yu Zhu had never underestimated Cewang Allah Butan, he did not believe in Cewang Allah Butan, and could not see his sinister intentions.

To put it bluntly, this year Cewang Allah Butan will not come to fight, and when winter is approaching, the jade pillars will also be withdrawn.

Waiting for next spring, when the grassland is fertile, Yuzhu will come again.

This method is very shameless and black-bellied, but it works very well.

Because, after the Junggar people lost the most important oasis, the 10,000+ people who originally lived in northern Xinjiang became a fatal problem for them to fill their stomachs and spend the winter.

After a long fight, the Junggar people who carried out the task of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness could not bear it.

"Reporting to Yushuai, at the foot of Boduotu Mountain, a large number of prospective troops have been found."

"Got it, just keep an eye on them."

"Whoo."

Yuzhu waved his hand and let the whistle go down.

Zhou Quan shook his folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, the students thought that the enemy had started to attack, and wanted to attract our army to fight a decisive battle."

Yuzhu took a sip of tea, and said with a soft smile, "Huo Piaoyao used his troops to take risks, and he repeatedly gained a lot of money. That's because there are a lot of Huns in the team. My handsome man, after entering the Junggar Basin, his eyes were almost black. Hehe, since you can't compare to Huo Piaoyao, let's just play Yangmou."

"Hey, it's better to be still than to move. Our army stays on this precious land with fertile water and grass, so we just don't move. Look at the Junggar people, how many years will they last?" Zhou Quan and Yuzhu looked at each other and smiled.

The enemy is in a hurry, but they are not in a hurry.

The national power of the Qing Dynasty is extremely strong!
Now, after the Qing Dynasty has mastered the Hutusi Mountain Pass, it can even overlook the entire Junggar Khanate.

Objectively speaking, the Qing Dynasty has fought for more than 70 years. The final victory of the Qing Dynasty was due to the great plague (smallpox) in the Junggar area and the civil strife. Get rid of the heartache.

On the oasis in the Junggar Basin, there is no city to occupy.

Yuzhu has always kept in mind the famous saying of the great man, that if people lose land, all people and land exist.If you lose your land, you will lose your land.

To put it bluntly, as long as the [-] army is in hand and destroys the winter material reserves of the Junggar people, Yuzhu will already be invincible.

As for the food, hey, on the green prairie, there are cattle and sheep grazing all over the ground, which confirms Yuzhu's foresight.

As long as he is not greedy for merit or advances rashly, Yuzhu will not lose his life on the Junggar Basin, he has plenty of time to spend with the Junggar people.

When the Junggar people really dared to come, Yuzhu dared to let them see the great power of the three arms of infantry, cavalry and artillery in coordinated operations.
