On the shores of Lake Serim, Galdan Tseling listened to the news of the fall of Chinook City and was silent for a long time.

This matter could not be hidden, and the army's morale was in turmoil.

The surprise attack of less than 2,000 people was not a surprise attack on the mountain, and the city fell in less than three days.

After entering the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes, but put the noble ladies who remained in the city under house arrest, seized the granary of the Zhun Ministry, and took over the gunpowder warehouse.

There were no large-scale robberies in the city, but before the city was breached, Ulan Bayar, the daughter of Galdan Tseling, slaughtered all the leaders of the "Holy Descendants" of the Black Mountain Sect and the White Mountain Sect, leaving no one behind.

The heads of the two people were made into Gabala bowls, and the rest of the people were also killed after verification, and all the slaves of the Black Mountain Sect and the White Mountain Sect who were plundered in the city were also killed.

Ulan Bayar wrote a letter to Gardantse, along with the news of the fall of the city.

In the letter, Ulaanbayar clearly expressed his intention to support submission, which is no wonder, after all, he is a daughter with no inheritance.

Both the great and the small Tseringtun Dob belong to the Syros family, and Ulan Bayar is, but her heirs are not.

In addition to this letter, Galdan Tse Ling also received a letter from Liu Yu.

There were not too many rhetoric on the letter, but directly told Gardan Tse Ling that surrendering now would not lose the position of marquis, and if it was too late, there would be only a dead end.

There is nowhere to go in the south, south, and northwest, and as soon as the army of Dashun comes, who will dare to take in the small surrounding countries?

To go to the south of the Tianshan Mountains is death, and to go to the north, the Rakshasa people do not dare to take them in.

The letter analyzed the current situation of the Rakshasa and knew that the Dzungar Ministry must know about the Ottoman Turkey, so he said that there would be a big war between the Rakshasa and Turkey soon, and now the Rakshasa country could not afford to target this side. Run to the Rakshasa country and die faster.

Even if Dashun recovers the Western Regions, there can't be too many garrisons here.

However, since Dashun made the Khalkha submit and let the Mongol tribes in southern Mo accept direct rule, then considering the control of the Snow Mountains and the stability of the north, the Western Regions will definitely be determined to take it.

This determination will not change.

As long as this determination does not change, then all that remains is just stubborn resistance.

Even if you are not defeated today, you will be defeated in the future.

If Galdantse has zero surrender intentions, the two sides can meet.

If not, then let's go to war, the army of the West Road has passed Luntai, and it will be too late if you don't fight now, don't hesitate like a girl.

…………

In the Qingzhou Army camp on the shore of Sailimu Lake, Liu Yu and a group of officers sat by the lake.

In the lake, a group of soldiers were bathing, and the white clouds were drifting halfway up the mountains in the distance, the lake was quiet, there were no birds nearby, and there was not a single fish in this big lake.

"It is said that the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, today we pacified the Western Regions, and after a few days, we will get some fish fry and send them and throw them away in this lake. A hundred years from now, it will be a good place to produce fish. ”

"There is also the cultivated land of Ili, if I were here, I would definitely make this a Jiangnan outside the Saiwai. Cotton, fruits, wheat...... In a place like this, there shouldn't be a war all day. ”

Thinking about the future, he asked, "Do any of you want to stay?" After pacification, I estimate that the imperial court will definitely leave two or three thousand Qingzhou troops to stabilize the situation here. ”

As soon as he said this, the people who fantasized with Liu Yu just now were silent.

It's so bitter here, and no one wants to stay.

The officers are all from good families, and they all look forward to living in the capital, not this kind of ghost place that is uninhabited for thousands of miles.

Now this lake looks beautiful, but I get tired of looking at it for three or five days.

The green houses, wine shops, teahouses, and markets near the temples in the capital are indispensable for life.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Yu stood up and pointed at the group of officers: "It's just you, you don't have a brain." Do you think that after this battle, the Western Regions will be stable? ”

"Don't dream, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains will not be stable in a few decades. Today you rebel, tomorrow I rebel. Whoever stays will be able to make meritorious contributions. ”

These officers are all Liu Yu's students, and they have been with Liu Yu for a long time, and they also know that as long as they don't fight, Liu Yu likes to joke very much. Someone shouted: "Your Excellency has this thought, why don't you recommend yourself and be the envoy of the Western Regions?" ”

"That's right, my lord has made immortal achievements now, and the first merit of the leveling department is none other than my lord. Even if he is a knight, he is at least a hereditary marquis, and he is born with seniority, and no one will object to being the envoy of this Western Regions Festival. ”

"The adults didn't come, but they tricked us to come?"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "I'm not a liar. If you can be a marquis, the military merits of staying here will naturally not be great. But you can't be knighted, can't you? And that doesn't stay? Let me ask you, where can you go to brush up on military merits after you go back? ”

A few clever people asked: "The adults can't just use it for garrisoning when they train the navy, right?" We found out, following the adults, the military merits are mixed. If you follow others, you may not have military merits. Now many people in the Western Road army have no place to cry, and they have not received any credit, so they have traveled from Xijing to the Western Regions. ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "I have the heart to experience the South Seas. It's just that the navy can't make it, so you can't swim over, right? Just those few broken ships, it's still early to pass through the South Seas. ”

"You all think about it, voluntarily sign up to stay, and let's make a development plan together. Make sure you'll be able to do it in five or six years. It's a big deal.'" Think about it. ”

With that, he stood up and walked towards a few messengers who hurried in the distance, leaving behind a group of officers who were seriously thinking about whether to stay on their own initiative.

The messenger in the distance ran to Liu Yu's ear, got close to him and whispered: "My lord, the people from the quasi-department don't dare to come, but they ask the adults to meet." It's just that adults can only bring 200 soldiers. ”

took the messenger's letter and went to find Zhang Jin and others.

Zhang Jin read the letter and asked, "Don't you want to go?" If there is fraud, won't it be bad? ”

"What if there is no fraud?" Liu Yu asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... If it's sincere, that's a good thing. But the matter needs to be discussed again. After all, you killed Little Tseling Dundob, and most of his sons are nobles, all of whom belong to the Rose family, so I am afraid it will not be good for you. ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Things on the battlefield, it's boring to count it like this." If you dare to go to the battlefield, don't talk nonsense about revenge. This matter, Galdantse will not be unintelligible. Let's put it this way, I've played tag mahjong, right? Don't be clear, you have to get it right. The Western Regions must not only have a temple with a spire, but also a yellow Lama temple. The quasi-ministry can decline, but it cannot be completely defeated. Some people may want to rebel, but others will choose to stand with us. One more person standing with us will save more money. ”

"The more money you save, the more you can use it."

Zhang Jin knew that Liu Yu didn't care much about the army, so he naturally understood where what he said was more useful.

"Although this is the case, the elder brother is now the pillar of the Qingzhou Army. I'm afraid that they will suddenly turn their faces and the general will fall into the formation. ”

Liu Yu has already weighed it.

"Brother, don't worry. The pillar of the Qingzhou Army is not me, but a complete officer corps. ”

"If the quasi-ministry had a heart, it would have started a war a long time ago. Now he's avoiding the war because he knows he can't beat me. In a battle north of the Altai Mountains, their courage was gone. Could it be that he wants to wait for the army of the West Road to come here and join forces after they fight? ”

"He refused to fight, but he just wanted to retain some strength so that he could ask for more things during the negotiations. Or they want me to testify so that His Majesty will not repent, or they will be booby-trapped. ”

"I'm going to have to go on this matter. The Qingzhou army is guarding here, and there should be no danger. Since he asked me to bring 200 people, if I don't go, it seems that we have no heroes in the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Jin admired it in his heart, and he didn't say anything anymore.

explained the things in the barracks, thinking just in case, so he selected some old acquaintances from the government soldiers to follow.

After repeated admonitions, the soldiers smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Back then, we people dared to besiege the castle of the Rakshasas, and nothing else was enough, but we still had the courage to do so. Lord Shu rest assured, we will protect Lord Liu's safety. Even if he works hard, he won't let Lord Liu lose half a hair. ”

After choosing some of the best flintlock pistols, a few strong men hung some grenades on their bodies, stepped on their horses, and followed Liu Yu out of the camp.

The envoy of the quasi-department led the way in front, and he secretly admired it in his heart, and praised: "There are also warriors in the Central Plains. ”

Liu Yu said disdainfully: "People in the Central Plains, if they are full, everyone is a hero." But your Great Khan, but he is not a good man, and he does not dare to come to the camp of our army. Since he had no courage, I went to it. It's just that God has the virtue of a good life, and he doesn't want to die more. You are a wise man, and I might as well tell you that if anything happens to me, the Quasi-Tribes will be destroyed. ”

Leaving down a cruel word, the messenger did not dare to answer, and he already believed eighty percent in his heart. He had experienced the battle at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, and the battle left a deep impression on him, and he followed Xiao Celing Dundob to charge into battle, and as a result, those Han troops crushed the most elite cavalry of the quasi-army with only infantry alone. From that moment on, this former warrior was afraid of the army of the Central Plains.

Now it seems that the people of the Central Plains do not even lack courage, and he really doesn't know what else the Zhun Department can rely on to compete with.

Slowly arrived at the Zhun Battalion, and the cavalry of the Zhun Department followed on both sides, staring at Liu Yu viciously one by one.

The cavalry guarding was like a great enemy, but Liu Yu turned a blind eye and walked all the way into the camp, where a group of quasi-nobles were waiting, putting on a threatening posture.

Liu Yu was on the horse and called the translator next to him to shout: "If you have the courage, go to the battlefield to fight." It's useless to put on such a posture here. ”

He did not shy away from it, and kept walking around a tent in the middle of the camp, and jumped off his horse as if he were going home.

The guards around him quickly took the reins, and Liu Yu asked, "What about your Great Khan?" He invited me, shouldn't he have come to meet me? You really don't have the guts, and I invited you the same, but you didn't dare to go to my camp. Now that I am here, do you have no courage to come to me? ”

While saying so presumptuously, the guards around him quietly reached out to the grenade in the saddle with a lit fire rope in their hands, for fear that these quasi-people would suddenly turn their faces.

Liu Yu taunted a few more words, and the big tent finally opened, and a voice came.

"The Mongols serve their distinguished guests with fine wine and mutton. General Liu, please. ”
