Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 42

After the heavy rain, the grassland was extremely muddy, and it was not a good time to march, but at this moment, a huge army was marching through the muddy water with great difficulty, no matter whether it was an officer or a soldier, everyone was Covered in mud and water, his face was full of exhaustion, but he was forced to trek forward due to his orders, and his morale had already dropped to the extreme.On a small hill not far away, surrounded by dozens of cavalry guards, a general with a gray beard was silently watching the struggling army. Although his face was calm, there was a glint of anxiety in his eyes. This veteran is none other than Fei Yanggu, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

Fei Yanggu, at the age of 49, was born in Zhengbai Banner, Manchuria, the younger brother of Dong E, the favorite concubine of Shunzhi Emperor, and the son of Bo Eshuo, the third-class internal minister. He participated in the suppression of the San Francisco Rebellion and made great contributions. , was a famous general during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.This time, Fengzhao led 6000 people from the West Route Army to go out from naturalization. On the way, they joined Zhenwu General Sun Sike and Xi'an General Bo Ji's Green Battalion with more than 7000 people. It is the main force of this expedition. It was originally expected to join forces with Mr. Kangxi's Central Route Army in Tula in mid-April, but I did not expect that Galdan would implement a strong wall to clear the fields. Most of the grassland along the way was burned by Galdan, so he had to make a detour. The delay has been postponed to this day. There is still more than half a month's journey away from Tula, causing the Central Route Army to be in the disadvantaged situation of being alone and deep. The anxiety in Fei Yanggu's heart is really hard to describe. Arrived in Tula in an instant.

A ranger suddenly rushed from the front of the team to the hill where Fei Yanggu was, shouting incessantly: "Urgent report, urgent report, the envoy of the Holy Spirit has arrived at the front army." Fei Yanggu was worried about the safety of the holy chariot , Immediately rode down the mountain, and led the guards to rush towards the front army.When he arrived at the Qianjun, Fei Yanggu couldn't help being stunned when he saw Yinzuo: Kangxi sent the sixth elder brother here, which means that this matter is of great importance. Could it be that he came to ask the crime?Delaying the time and delaying the war opportunity is a very serious crime, enough to lose one's head. Rao Fei Yanggu is known for his calmness, so he can't help but feel a little bit suspicious at this moment.While he was in doubt, Yin Zuo rode on the horse and said loudly: "The Holy Majesty's secret edict, Fei Yanggu accepts the edict."

Fei Yanggu immediately knelt down, took the secret decree from Yinzuo's hand with both hands, thanked him, and then opened it for a closer look. After seeing it, he was ecstatic, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army stops, and set up camp here, all the troops After the commander settles down, he will go to the main account of the central army to wait for dispatch." Fei Yanggu immediately rushed out with more than ten riders and sent orders to the various armies without mentioning it.

Just as Fei Yanggu turned around, Yinzuo had already dismounted from his horse, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general, Aixinjueluo; Yinzuo sees Fei Shuai." Step by step: "Sixth elder brother, what are you doing, do you want to kill the old man?"

"Commander, there are only generals in the army without the sixth elder brother. The last general was ordered to come and wait for dispatch." Yin Zuo replied seriously.

Fei Yang has worked in Beijing for a long time, and he is familiar with Yinzuo, but he has never had a close friendship. He knows Yinzuo very well, and knows that this master is capable of both literature and martial arts, and he is the most outstanding one among all the elder brothers.The secret decree mentioned that Yinzuo would be appointed as the deputy commander of the West Route Army. Lao Fei was worried that the sixth elder brother would not be able to take care of him, and his heart was beating. Seeing Yinzuo at this moment, he was very upset On the road, I was very comforted in my heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yin Zuo and said: "Sixth elder brother came from a long way, please go to rest first, how about talking about military affairs after the drum beats?"

Although he has been running around for more than ten days in order to pass on the decree, the physique obtained by Yinzuo's free martial arts training can still bear it, but it's just that Mr. Fei's good intentions are not easy to refuse, Yinzuo smiled slightly: " The last general will obey." He led his own cavalry squad of dozens to arrange camping.

Whether an army is strong or not can be seen from the arrangement of the camp. Naturally, Yin Zuo's camp has his own guards busy, but he wanders around in the camp by himself.The number of the West Route Army is only [-], but its composition is very complicated: there are Eight Banners soldiers from the capital, garrison soldiers from Datong, right guards, Green Battalion soldiers from Xi'an, and Mongolian cavalry from Chahar and Khalkha. They are different, their backgrounds are different, their original affiliations are also different, and their living habits are even more vastly different. It is really difficult to integrate such a motley crew into a combat-capable team.

Yinzuo wandered around, and found that no matter where the teams came from, the camps they set up were exactly the same at this time. After it was built, I really admired Fei Yanggu in my heart: Old man Fei is really a famous general. This group of Qiuba uncles have only been under his command for only two and a half months, and they have been trained so well. It is not easy. If it were us Let's do it, I'm afraid we can't catch up with old man Fei, we really have to learn more from old Fei.

After the three-way point was over, all the army leaders gathered in the tent of the Chinese army. As the sixth elder brother and the deputy commander of the West Route Army, Yin Zuo naturally sat in the first seat under the tent, and most of the generals who entered the account one by one It's a foreign minister, I haven't seen Yinzuo's face, and I don't know Yinzuo's identity. When I saw a young man with no hair yet sit on the head, I was a little puzzled, and more dissatisfied. However, Fei Yanggu governed the army very strictly, even if he felt dissatisfied, he didn't dare to express anything, and they arranged their seats according to their official titles and titles.

Fei Yangguo sat on the head, looked around at the generals, and announced loudly: "The holy car has arrived at the Kerulun River, and countless enemies have been killed along the way." They stood up and shouted: "The sage is wise and victorious in a hundred battles." For a while, the crowd in the tent was full of enthusiasm, and Fei Yanggu waved his hand and said: "All generals obey the order." All the generals in the tent stood up and agreed.Fei Yanggu said in a loud voice: "There is a decree from the sage to order the sixth elder brother Yin Zuo to be the deputy commander of the West Route Army, and all the generals will come forward to pay respects." Only then did the generals realize that the one sitting first was actually the famous Sixth Prince. Elder brother Yinzuo, hurriedly went forward to report to the house to greet each other.Yin Zuo got up to return the gift with a smile, and with his superhuman memory, he immediately memorized the names and official titles of the generals. He talked and laughed with these eight uncles of Qiu, and they got along well without picking up Elder Brother or the deputy commander-in-chief at all. His airs won the favor of the generals.

Looking at the scene of a group of generals and generals in the tent, Fei Yanggu secretly sighed in his heart: This sixth elder brother really knows how to behave. He is young, capable, and easy-going, which is really not easy.After the generals had finished exchanging greetings, Fei Yanggu stood up abruptly and said, "The Holy Spirit has a decree." All the generals immediately knelt down on the ground in unison, listening to the hadith.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit that our West Route Army must arrive at Zhaomodo before May [-]th."

ah?As soon as Fei Yanggu said this, all the generals in the tent were dumbfounded: Today is the second day of May, and there are more than 800 miles away from Zhaomoduo. The road is difficult, and the cavalry is okay, but the infantry, How can the artillery and the rear battalion be able to catch up, and the lack of food and grass is a big problem at the moment. Once there is no food and grass on this vast prairie, wouldn't the entire army starve to death?
