Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 357 Surrounding
It was rare for Chen Wenxin to show his power once, and the effect was very good.

Concubine Hui no longer goes to Concubine Rong to be with Concubine Rong all the time, and Eldest Brother no longer goes to Concubine Hui to be with Concubine Hui all day.

The elder brothers stayed in the elder brother's place obediently, studying hard with all their might.

The third elder brother often goes to the fourth elder brother's place, and the fourth elder brother is willing to share his books with him. The relationship between the two brothers is much closer than before.

At the same time, the Zhungeer battlefield once again formed a tense situation.

The emperor sits in the army and discusses with the generals under his account how to deal with the enemy.

"Arni suffered heavy casualties in this defeat. It not only increased Galdan's arrogance, but also caused nearly [-] wounded soldiers to take care of in the army. The wounded soldiers had to eat, drink, and treat their illnesses. The consumption of food and grass was too great."

With 30 troops out together, the daily consumption of food and grass is an astronomical figure.

The emperor's eyes were firmly fixed on the topographical map, "We don't have much food and grass, and Galdan's also doesn't have much. Hurry up and beat them before the food and grass run out!"

Play fast?

Zhungeer's army claimed to be invincible on the grasslands, but when it came to the Qing army, it became a rabbit.

——It’s okay to be beaten, but to run fast!
Fei Yang said: "In terms of speed, I'm afraid it's not as fast as Zhungeer's army. They are familiar with the terrain of the grassland and are very proficient in riding. Those who hide and hide are consuming us."

Fei Yanggu was the first to go to the Jungar battlefield, and he had the deepest understanding of Galdan's routines.

Prince Gong said: "Gerdan is not a brainless guy who just fights fiercely. On the contrary, he can bend, stretch, hide and fight. He only dares to fight when he sees the Qing army who does not care much. He runs away when he sees the army. gone."

His mood is very complicated.

On the one hand, he was happy that Da GeGe did not marry a rough and reckless wild man, and also admired Gerdan's wise plan.

On the other hand, as an enemy and traitor of the Qing Dynasty, he felt a deep headache for such Galdan.

The emperor thought for a moment, and said: "If he wants to run, let's encircle and suppress him, so that he can't get out of Wuzhi Mountain!"

"Fei Yanggu led [-] Eight Banners soldiers to face the enemy head-on. These [-] soldiers don't need to be too elite, the most important thing is the number."

The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to a prominent place on the map.

"Seeing the huge army, Galdan must not dare to face the enemy head-on. Behind him is the border of Tsarist Russia. He can only flee to the left and right."

Prince Yu said: "Then let's set up elite soldiers to ambush on the left and right flanks, let him get into the trap, and have no way out."

"On the left is the Gobi, and on the right are the Mongolian tribes loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Which way will Galdan go?"

When Fei Yanggu asked, everyone fell into deep thought.

"It should be running to the left. Although the left side is a barren land, there are no enemies."

Prince Yu spoke, but was immediately refuted by Prince Gong, "I think he will run to the right. Galdan is bold and cautious. He should know that if he runs to the left, he may not be able to return to his hometown for a long time. On the contrary, go to the right. Run, the water and grass there are abundant, and the Mongolian tribes stationed there are not their opponents."

"Gerdan is not a fool, isn't he afraid that the rest of the Mongolian tribes and the Qing army will encircle them when they go to the right?"

"Second brother, why are you confused? How did the Khalkha tribe do it? Did the second brother forget?"

As soon as Prince Gong's words came out, even the emperor fell silent.

Galdan was aggressive, and those Mongolian tribes who obeyed the Qing Dynasty wanted to resist, but they were powerless.

They even developed a subtle neutral mentality. In order to protect their tribal blood, they even gave in and exchanged food and grass for the lives of the tribesmen.

This is also an extremely frustrating problem in this battle.

Ge Erdan procrastinated to consume the food and grass of the Qing army, but he himself was not afraid. When the food and grass ran out, he would go to other tribes to grab it.

He can rob, but the emperor cannot.

Most of the food and grass of those Mongolian tribes were originally provided by the Qing Dynasty to the friendly Mongolian tribes.

"Okay, stop arguing, too."

The emperor said: "Let the soldiers of the Green Camp and the Eight Banners of Meng serve as an ambush. Since one of you thinks that he will break out from the left and the other thinks that he will break out from the right, then you can split up and intercept him."

"It is my decree that Prince Yu Fuquan is the general of Fuyuan, leading [-] Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers as the left wing, and leaving Gubeikou. Prince Gong Changning is the general of Anbei, leading [-] green battalion soldiers as the right wing, leaving Xifengkou, encircling Geer Army of Dan."

Fei Yanggu glanced at the emperor, not quite understanding the emperor's intentions.

It is said that the [-] elite soldiers of the Green Camp are indeed brave, and they also made military exploits in the pacification of San Francisco before.

The record of the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers is mediocre. The advantage is that these soldiers are originally Mongolians and are proficient in equestrianism and riding and shooting.

The emperor asked Prince Gong and Prince Yu to lead an army each, and the numbers were equal, so which direction did he think Ge Erdan would break out from?

Prince Yu and his brother were also puzzled.

The emperor's gaze was still deeply fixed on the topographic map.

There was silence in the tent, waiting for the emperor to speak again.

After a long time, the emperor tapped on the picture.

"The green battalion bets on twenty new cannons for the rear."

Everyone immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The improved new gun is powerful and is the undeclared secret treasure of this battle.

After handing over this secret treasure to the green battalion army led by Prince Gong, it seems that the emperor also thought that Galdan would lead the army to break out to the west...

Among Zhungeer's army, Ge Erdan discussed the military situation with all the soldiers in the military tent, and returned to the big tent frowning.

As soon as he entered the tent, he heard faint sobbing.

The maid comforted Da Gege in a low voice, "Good princess, let's stop crying. Even if your eyes are broken from crying, the forehead and the emperor still have to fight, what can you do?"

Da Gege choked up and said: "I can't do anything, not only can't help Da Qing, but also become his accomplice! When he pretended to surrender, if he hadn't used me, General Fei Yanggu would not have been easily deceived by him Already!"

Galdan stood there with a pale face.

After all, she still regarded herself as the princess of the Qing Dynasty, not as the concubine of Zhungeer.

"Didn't the princess also be deceived by the forehead? You can't blame me for this. The emperor and imperial concubine will not blame you."

"Really not?"

Da Gege's voice was full of hope.

Galdan was about to go in, when he heard the maid say: "No way, have you forgotten what the imperial concubine told you? You are told to eat well, dress well, and treat yourself well. War is a man's business, so you marry me." Just have to be happy.”

Chen Wenxin has never made any demands on her, even if she chooses to marry and follow her husband, Chen Wenxin will forgive him even if she chooses to side with Ge Erdan and fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Gerdan couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

That's what the woman said.

He stepped up and walked in, and Big Gege and the maid really didn't speak.

The maid saluted him, and Da Gege turned his back to him, as if wiping away tears.

"You go out."

He tore off his coat, took off his boots, and fell back on the bench covered with tiger skin.

Husband and wife live in one room, but they don't talk to each other.

After a long while, Galdan said, "Do you know? This time your Empress Madam has become cruel. One hundred thousand troops are pressing down on the border, and the strength of the troops on the two wings is still unclear. What happened to Arni really angered him."

Da Gege retorted, "You were the one who rebelled first, and Huang Ama was not cruel. He was just suppressing the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty and destroying a pack of wolves that slaughtered their clan on the grassland!"

"How many times has Ben Khan told you that Zhungeer was never a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and Ben Khan is not your son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty! Ben Khan is the descendant of Genghis Khan, and he wants to conquer the Central Plains!"

Big Gege got the courage he didn't know, and sneered at him: "That's not what Da Khan said when he took me to Feiyangu's big tent to surrender."

She emphasized the word profusely, full of irony.

"A real man can stretch himself regardless of petty matters. If Ben Khan is as shameless as you think, he should take you to the front of the army!"

His tone was vicious, and he didn't know whether he was angered by Da Gege or the military situation on the front line was really not optimistic.

Da Gege flinched instinctively, thinking of her glory as the princess of the Qing Dynasty, she raised her back again.

"Just take me away, and let the world see what kind of villain you are, Galdan. Even if I commit suicide in front of the army, I will never make things difficult for Huang Ama!"

She knew that not only the emperor was on the front line, but also Prince Gong, her own Ama.

She can't embarrass Daqing, let alone Prince Gong.

That was planned long ago, if Ge Erdan really did such shameless things, she would bite her tongue and kill herself in front of the army.

Let the Qing army step over her body to defeat Galdan's army!
Ge Erdan's face turned red with anger, he didn't expect Da Gege to say such decisive words, regardless of him being her husband.

He has no love for Da Gege, but he always regards her as the dignified concubine of Zhungeer and treats her with respect and kindness.

"Didn't you Qing people say that you obey your father at home and your husband when you get married? Are you planning to be loyal to your Huang Ama for the rest of your life?"

Da Gege sneered and said: "Mother Huang Er said that trust and respect are mutual. Huang Ama respects her, so she is dedicated to Huang Ama. And you?"

"You lied to me, you took advantage of me. You let me speak well of you in front of Fei Yanggu, and made me a sinner of the Qing Dynasty through the ages!"

She could have been like Chen Wenxin said, regardless of the gains and losses on the battlefield, she could be her concubine and live her life with peace of mind.

It's a pity that Galdan didn't give her such a chance.

Gerdan was taken aback, "Ben Khan really had no other choice at that time, and you know the situation at that time..."

"Report!"

A high-pitched military order came from outside the account, "Khan, the Qing army is attacking from the front, and the left and right wings are outflanked!"

Ge Erdan strode forward and opened the tent door with a clatter, "How many people are there on the left and right wings? Who will lead the army?"

"Each has at least [-] troops, all of whom are elite soldiers and strong generals. The spies reported that the left wing was led by Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, and the right wing..."

The soldier glanced at the tent, hesitant.

"Who is the right wing, tell me!"

"It's Prince Gong."
