Kangxi, who got the news, reluctantly got up from the couch, and with him got up, there were 100,000 troops under Tongcheng, and there were millions of people running and cooperating behind him, so he barely prepared the military food and grass of the 100,000 army, and set off for Anqing.

In the middle of the line, there are thick stacks of folds, which have been repeatedly selected by the south study and finally presented with some urgent tasks, but they cannot be delayed in the slightest.

Emperor Kangxi wore a thick coat, opened the fold and reviewed, but his mind was like a marquee, constantly remembering the past, those people and scenery of the year, from the three feudatories to the recovery of Taiwan, and then to the northern expedition to the grassland, these seem to be engraved in his mind, but they can never be forgotten.

Kangxi heard that people only keep recalling the past when they are dying, which makes him a little frightened in his heart, if it is ordinary, it is just that, if he dies, he may die, but now internal and external troubles continue to appear, how can Kangxi rest assured? Even if you die, you can't die on the march of the great army.

After reviewing two excerpts on front-line military affairs, Kangxi summoned the little eunuch and burned the brazier in the chariot a little, and suddenly felt a little warmer in his body, and he also had the energy to review the rest of the folds.

It turns out that Yinyu has now sent Dingxi General Garbi as the vanguard, leading 30,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, all the way from the northwest, maybe a month to reach Gansu, the fastest case, three months to arrive in Henan, but the back of the 120,000 army is responsible for transporting a large number of baggage, it is difficult to arrive in a short time, but it takes about half a year.

This information was also expected by Kangxi, but he also faintly regretted it in his heart, although he had decided to reach a reconciliation with Arabutan a year ago, the situation at that time had not deteriorated to this point, so that he had been repeatedly entangled in the details, and the two sides had also repeatedly fought each other, resulting in the delay in reaching the peace agreement.

Arabutan also understands that the behemoth in front of him has encountered great trouble, so big that the old emperor has to personally conquer, you must know when was the last time Kangxi personally conquered? That was when he was plotting against Alabutan's uncle, Galdan, more than twenty years had passed.

Now that he has a bottom in his heart, Arabutan is naturally unwilling to let his old opponent go back to fight the fire, and his demands are gradually increasing, and even Lhasa, which he dreams of, asks to be ceded back. The Qing court was naturally reluctant at that time, but with the army rushing to the Huguang battlefield, the road was completely defeated, and Kangxi was naturally a little unbearable.

Now that half of Tibet has been ceded, Kangxi regrets it in his heart, what he regrets is not that he ceded the territory, but that he regrets not reaching a peace agreement with Alabutan earlier, as long as it is half a year earlier, then now the Qing court can have 150,000 more elite veterans on the Huguang battlefield, these people are all battle-hardened soldiers, and it is naturally not a problem to exterminate Chu Rebellion.

But just half a year, it is enough to make the entire Fu Han army change greatly, not only occupy the land of the three provinces, but also with the help of many major war experience, out of seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is very considerable, it is no longer the existence of today's Qing court that can be destroyed in one fell swoop.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, the current Qing army can't wait for Yinyu's army to come, half a year is enough for the Fu Han army to take the entire Jiangnan as its own, and at that time, the Qing army that has no money and food in Jiangnan will be able to hit a few nails just by relying on these hundreds of thousands of troops?

Emperor Kangxi thought for a while, but he summoned Zhang Tingyu, and he still rubbed the secret fold given by the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu in his hand, but there was no expression on his face.

Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to visit, and didn't dare to ask what was going on, just put his head on the cold line and didn't say a word.

"Have you ever known Ortai? What is your personality? After being silent for a long time, Kangxi threw out a question that Zhang Tingyu didn't expect, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard the words.

It's just that Zhang Tingyu is whom? The nine-trick and exquisite heart and liver to answer this question are the most suitable, but he was originally a smart and alert person, under the teaching of his father Zhang Ying, he is even better than the blue, and he is even more familiar with the characters inside and outside the capital, and he knows it with a little thought in his heart.

"The slave knew that he was on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, and he seemed to be a disciple of Prince Yong."

Kangxi was a little unhappy in his heart, what he wanted to hear was not this, and said softly: "Of course I know that he is the fourth person, but it is precisely because he is the fourth person that I have to ask, what is this person's ability and temperament?" ”

Zhang Tingyu was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave doesn't have much friendship with this person, but he knows that this person has moderation, and he once said to people, 'Don't be confused about big things, don't be confused about small things, if you don't get confused about small things, then big things will be confused.' I think I've read the books of the sages. ”

Since the showdown between Tian Wenjing and Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Tingyu has the heart to take refuge in the fourth child in the future, but there is no chance for a while, and now when he hears Kangxi ask Prince Yong's disciples, he feels that this is a good opportunity to accept the name, but how to say it still needs to be grasped carefully, if it is too biased, Kangxi is not a fool, if it is made Kangxi think that he has taken refuge in Prince Yong, it will be a big disaster.

Therefore, when replying to Kangxi's question, Zhang Tingyu talked about his taste a little bit left and right, the so-called degree and moderation, the so-called reading the book of sages, it sounds like that, but in fact, there is no difference between saying it and not saying it, which one of these officials is not moderate? Which one hasn't been read?

Kangxi did not continue to ask, nor did he let Zhang Tingyu continue to guess, and soon issued an order, that is, to promote Ortai to the supervision of the grain road of the Northwest Army, and be fully responsible for the logistics and military affairs of the entire Northwest Army.

This move made Zhang Tingyu see through, that is, the so-called fourteenth elder brother of the Fuyuan general, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to dominate the world. You must know that the original Northwest Army, it was Nian Qianyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, who was responsible for supervising the military affairs of grain and grass, and later with Nian Qianyao's march into Yunyang, he relieved himself of the logistics errand of the Northwest Army.

It's just that seeing that the fourteenth elder brother is in power, Kangxi has a little more drumming in his heart, and he can naturally think that if he really dies on the battlefield, the Qing Dynasty will probably become torn apart at that time, so if he wants to completely eliminate this risk, Kangxi will also add a chain to the other party, that is, Ortai.

Zhang Tingyu is a clever person, and he quickly guessed the cause and effect of the matter clearly, just looking at Kangxi's figure, but he was faintly chilled, if anyone underestimated Kangxi's old age, he really didn't even know how to die.
