In May of the fifteenth year of Yufeng, the war in the northwest finally reached the ears of ordinary people. As the emperor and his ministers had predicted, it was Prince Hurich of Sak who took the lead. The earliest prince who had formed an alliance with Dzungaria sneaked into the left camp of Duan Zhiyuan's army, but was unexpectedly waited by Duan Zhiyuan's father and son, who had been prepared for a long time, and not only lost his troops, but also gave the imperial court an excuse to officially start a war. Under the order of the Northwest Commander Feng Wufang, hundreds of thousands of troops were immediately mobilized, plus nearly 80,000 military horses on the side of Duan Zhiyuan, the general of Fenwei, the imperial court used a total of more than 300,000 troops this time.

Seeing the start of the war, Ketu Ce Zero naturally lost his usual respectful posture, and the entire Moxi Mongolia moved like a war machine. The herdsmen, who used to graze, took up their sabers and stepped on their best horses, and in a moment they had gathered more than 100,000 fine horsemen. These steppe men are inconspicuous on weekdays, but whenever they are in war, they are brave and good at fighting, and they can be said to be the strongest combat power in Dzungaria. Not only that, the tribes that were friendly with Mobei Mongolia and Dzungaria also sent troops to participate in the war, and the military horses of the two sides continued to expand, and the clouds of war shrouded the entire northwest for a while.

The dispatch of the army of the prince of Sark Kulich naturally angered the magnates in Beijing, in their opinion, the Dzungar raised the banner of rebellion, and there was naturally no surprise in this uprising, but the Sark tribe has always been rewarded a lot by the imperial court, and previously served as the leader of the alliance of Monan Mongolia. Not only that, in order to show her popularity, the lord of Mingxiu, the daughter of Huliqi, is now in the position of a concubine, and she is extremely rich. Therefore, after the news of Hu Liqi's sneak attack on Duan Zhiyuan's military camp reached the capital, several important ministers jointly signed a petition to ask Concubine Zhen to be sent to the cold palace. Strictly guarded.

In the face of the angry emotions of the ministers, Feng Wuxian was very indifferent, except for adding an extra battalion of guards outside the Zhaoning Palace, where Concubine Mingxiu lived. The rest of the treatment is the same as that of all the concubines.

Since Mingxiu entered the palace, he has always adhered to the Central Plains etiquette. Therefore, Feng Wuxian knew that she was a woman who didn't know about it, however, in order to stop talking outside, he could only make a little appearance.

Even so, his father's sudden incident also hit Mingxiu hard. Although she had already realized it as a pawn, she didn't expect that when she really wanted to die in the palace, her father stabbed the court again. In the more than ten years since she entered the palace, she has had an extra son and a daughter under her knees, but her rank has always been a concubine, and she has never been promoted to a concubine, and Concubine Rong Yana is the same. This time she was suddenly hit by this, and the other concubines who had few contacts on weekdays naturally avoided her, except for the queen who summoned her once, only Rugui Concubine Hongru comforted her a few words. Others ignored it, even Concubine Rong.

After reading the stack of military newspapers piled up on the desk, Feng Wuxian suddenly felt upset. For Prince Ann, there is no way to do it. He was naturally relieved, not to mention that Zhan Pohan had already moved to Sichuan, on the one hand, to better deal with the various ethnic groups in the southwest, and on the other hand, to help at any time.

These two court generals each had their own strengths. The wind is cautious in using troops, but every time the cavalry fights, it can come and go like the wind, depending on the battle, and it is not confined to one combat mode; And Zhan Pohan is an indomitable brave general, but he is addicted to killing, and there are almost no prisoners on the battlefield, but with him, the leader of the killing god, the soldiers under his command are extremely brave, and most of them have a situation of advancing and retreating.

Feng Wuxian sighed slightly, rubbed his temples and stood up, slowly walking a few steps in the hall. It has been a long time since the imperial court has used troops on a large scale, not to mention that the purpose of using troops this time is to completely stabilize the northwest, and the battle situation is naturally changing more rapidly than before. Outside, the king's order is not subject to it, and he also understands this truth, so in addition to controlling the battle situation and transporting grain, grass and military salaries, the military department and the household department did not interfere in the battle ahead. However, there was always a trace of worry in his heart, after all, if he lost this battle, then he would be Lingyun's sinner through the ages.

The wind in the northwest has no worries, as a general, all he thinks about is how to win, and as for the way to retreat, his subordinates have arranged it properly. If he is defeated before the battle, how can he, the main general, still suppress his subordinates? As soon as Huric raised the flag of rebellion, he sent someone to secretly inform the ministries with whom he had previously been contacted. Prince Kertai of the Kurten Ministry had long been unpleasant to the Sark Department, so he promised the support of 50,000 iron cavalry, and Prince Eli of Sotu was no exception, 30,000 elite cavalry were all elite men and horses in the department, and a sentence of listening to the general's dispatch made Feng Wufang smile. With the full support of the two major tribes of Southern Mongolia and the rest of the small tribes supported by 800 or 1,000 cavalry, the momentum of the Northwest Allied Army far overshadowed the rebels for a while.

Naturally, the prince of Sark did not sit idly by, and had prepared for the worst when he sent his troops to attack the land, so as soon as the imperial army moved, he attacked the two middle tribes near him with lightning speed, took all the people of his pastures under his command, and then set up three large camps with horns. His arrangements were carefully calculated, after all, Ketuce was not far off with zero promised reinforcements. As long as you can survive the first wave of the imperial court's offensive, you can join forces to resist the enemy.

Feng Wufang was not surprised by Hurich's thunderous momentum, on the contrary, his army did not march quickly, but unified the tribes all the way, and then left people to suppress the whole rear before advancing in depth. It was not until seven days after Hurich had made complete preparations that the imperial army encamped ten miles from Sarkbe. At this time, according to the scout's report, the Dzungar reinforcements were only two days' journey at most.

In addition to the previous generals, there are also good generals who have been transferred from all over the country in recent years, and they can be regarded as full of talents. Because the wind is extremely harsh, there is much less fighting between each other, at least on the surface, the generals at all levels get along very well, and there is no longer the dilemma that Zhan Pohan experienced before.

Feng Wufang, who was on the main seat, looked around at the generals, and a rare smile appeared on his face. "Ladies and gentlemen, our Northwest Army has been well nourished for decades, and now it finally has a great opportunity to show its talents. The imperial court continued to purchase good military horses from Mongolia and continuously trained cavalry, and now, among the soldiers in the Central Plains, the number of elite cavalry has also grown a lot. Although it may not be as good as those prairie men who grew up on horseback since childhood, we must not lose the upper hand in bravery! Let them know that my Central Plains warriors are far superior to these Tartars! In the end, his voice suddenly rose several times, and it turned out to be like a roar.

Since the commanders in the tent are all generals of the imperial court, Feng Wufang's words immediately resonated, otherwise when those allies heard the word Tartar, I am afraid that there would be a misunderstanding. Historically, as long as the foreign tribes are full-fledged, they will think of plundering the Central Plains, which makes the people of the Central Plains overwhelmed. And the policy of the kings of Lingyun was to detain the Mongols and settle this most ferocious alien race, and the tribes of the other parties were naturally not afraid. Even so, there are still variables in Nuoda Mongolia after all, and the Dzungars have made the imperial court lose face several times, and they did not regain face until Emperor Wanlie took the wind and shined.

This time, the imperial court is determined to solve this serious problem, and they naturally want to take the opportunity to make contributions.

"Victory!" Lu Yuanchang, the commander of the Breaking Battalion, suddenly shouted loudly, and when he said this, the other generals suddenly woke up like a dream, and immediately swore in unison: "We will win!" The loud voice reverberated throughout the tent, and even in the ears of the surrounding soldiers, it stirred up a burst of blood.

Feng Wufang raised his hands flat, and the tent suddenly fell silent. He looked at the murderous generals with satisfaction, and then emphasized heavily: "In this battle, we are always facing the elite of the rebel army, when we kill the enemy, listen to the banner of the Chinese army, if there is no Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, it is a situation of advancing and not retreating, and those who do not obey the orders of the army will be killed!" As soon as his murderous words came out, the generals couldn't help but shudder. On the battlefield, the main general has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, that is, if he beheads a general with an extraordinary background, no one will pursue it later, and they don't want to hit the spearhead, so they hurriedly responded in unison.

Seeing that everyone's blood was stirred up, Feng Wufang stopped being wordy, tore open the curtain behind him, pointed to the whole map of Mongolia and began to arrange it. This is a strategy that has been secretly discussed by many staff members and generals in advance, and even the imperial court does not know the clues, so this time Feng Wufang only explained it to a few major generals one by one. After finishing speaking, he ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Qiu Qingyuan and Zhanrong. After listening to the mission of the two of them, both of them had surprises written on their faces. They never imagined that the key to the war would be among those who stayed in Dzungaria.

"On this expedition, Ketu Ce Ling will naturally bring his henchman Tegu with him, and in the land of the Dzungar Khan's tent, there are not many military horses left. And it is rumored that the lord of Pingzhao is pregnant again, so Ketu Ce Ling will definitely leave it in the sweat tent. Over the years, this king has put a lot of effort into Dzungaria, just to divide their lords and ministers. Tegu is not a Dzungar, and he is deeply favored by Ketuce, so it is natural to anger those who have just recovered from their own use. So, this time, we're just going to take advantage of that. While it is essential to engage a large army, the way to use it is also crucial! ”

After Feng Wufang said such a thing proudly, he casually pointed to a personal guard beside him, "Dingbei is the person sent by the emperor to assist the king, and the inter-road in the northwest is also led by him, this time you lead five hundred people deep behind the enemy, and he will guide the way and be responsible for letting those small tribes cover." ”

Qiu Qingyuan and Zhanrong glanced at each other, and bowed down at the same time to receive the order. They naturally knew the difficulty of this journey, but the temptation to win the hearts of the enemy was really not small. Although the imperial court army and horses were strong, after penetrating deep into the hinterland of the grassland, if someone cut off food and grass, hundreds of thousands of troops would be strong, so Feng Wufang would march in such a slow way. Now, if they can really cut off the enemy's rear route and then plot against the Dzungar nobles, then they have made the first contribution to this battle. However, the two have different thoughts, Qiu Qingyuan hopes to return to the capital to atone for his crimes, and Zhan Rong hopes to make miraculous achievements like his boss Zhan Pohan, but the same thing is that both of them have made up their minds to win.
