The 20,000-odd Russian army that Rumyantsev had in his hands was organized into a corps, commanded by Mikhail Feodotovich Kamensky, a 50-year-old veteran of the battlefield. This is a very capable general, who participated in the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763 and the Russo-Turkish War from 1768 to 1774, and has distinguished himself, successively serving as a brigade commander and commander of the Independence Army.

In the famous Battle of Kozluja, he led the Russian army, which was far outnumbered by his opponents, against the main force of 40,000 of the Ottoman Empire. And Suvorov attacked the enemy barracks only after his victory, and the lawsuit went all the way to the commander over who was the winner. The end result was that Suvorov parted ways with him from then on.

In the final year of the Fifth Russo-Turkish War, he defeated a five-fold Ottoman army with 7,000 men, trapping the superior enemy in the castle until the armistice was signed.

So, this is a highly decorated general, only his character was not liked by Catherine II.

Kamensky's glory was obtained in the war, and without the war, he was a sign that was hung high, and he himself was always a man of the hour, and from time to time his brain was deprived of oxygen, he would do something that made people laugh and laugh. For example, when he was governor of Ryazan and Tambov, the bored Kamensky launched a series of activities, sending all idle nobles to the army for re-education, asking them to read and learn arithmetic. This undoubtedly poked a hornet's nest and made his popularity among the nobility plummet. Before the start of the Sixth Russo-Turkish War, he took the initiative to go to St. Petersburg to ask Empress Catherine II to fight, but received a bounty of only 5,000 rubles, and had no combat mission, and he was so angry that he invited everyone he met to dinner until the money was spent.

And since his friendship with Rumyantsev was also damaged in the last war [he was a lieutenant colonel quartermaster in Rumyantsev's army], he did everything possible to camp in the camp of Marshal Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin, a favorite of Catherine II, but Potemkin did not trust him, so he still did not have the opportunity to lead the troops into battle. Finally, the Ottomans were not willing to be lonely, and before the start of the official war, they came to attack him and made him concentrate artillery and rockets, so that he was awarded a St. Vladimir Order of the First Class, but then he had nothing to do.

It was his old friend Rumyantsev who pulled him by the hand at a critical moment, moved him from the Caucasus to Western Siberia, and appointed him commander of the 1st Army on the Eastern Road. It can be said that all the mobile forces in his hands were handed over to him.

In addition to Kamensky, Rumyantsev also had another general under him who was very valued by him, that is, the only son of Field Marshal Pyotr S. Saltkov under Elizabeth I - Ivan Ivanovich Saltkov, he was an excellent cavalry general.

The latter commanded all the cavalry in Rumyantsev's hands - two thousand Cossack cavalry, and two thousand Tatar cavalry. It was organized as a cavalry division and was placed in the First Army sequence. But Saltykov fought more independently, knowing that Russia also has allies, and in the face of the powerful subordinate cavalry corps of the Chinese, they can count on the Turks.

In the previous foreign wars, St. Petersburg never forgot the Turgot tribe, and constantly transferred cavalry, horses, and sheep from the Turgot tribe. But now it is different, since the rise of China, since China began to threaten the east of Russia, St. Petersburg seems to be a different person, doing everything possible to encircle the Turkut tribes, hoping that they can serve Tsarist Russia at a critical moment.

This time it's time for the Turks to die.

With a total population of more than 200,000 people, the Turghut Department dispatched a full 20,000 cavalry, led by the Khan king Wubasi himself, and important generals and nobles such as Zebekdorji, Sheleng, and Bamubar (Wubasi's younger brother) all appeared in the army. In the Turghut tribe, there are also two insiders, Dashdun Duk and the Grand Lama Lobzang Tenzin.

They will fully 'cooperate' with Saltkov's actions, with full 'cooperation' with Kamensky's operations.

This is also the biggest hole card hidden by Chen Han.

- One Worbasil, comparable to an army of 100,000!

Sitting in the conference room, there was a smile on his face, this was not a fake appearance he had made on purpose, he was genuinely happy.

It's been 20 years, and it's been 20 years since the idea of 'going home' came to the 45-year-old Worbasil.

If it weren't for the sudden change in the Central Plains, he believed that he would have returned to his hometown by now. However, although the emperor of the Han people prevented them from returning home, he also pointed out a brighter road for them.

The Turkut Ministry has a brighter future. I believe that those who have lived in the territory of the Han people for more than ten years will not have too many complaints in their hearts.

In order to win the trust of the Russians, the Turks and the Han Chinese made a fake show outside Irkutsk. Because only the real blood debt, only the blood debt that cannot be dissolved, can make the Russians believe that the Turks really want to be at odds with the Han Chinese.

Seriously, over the years, they have been holding such a big secret in their hearts, and the pressure is also very high. And in order to make a look that he is not in the same place as the Han people, Wu Baxi asked people to promote anti-Han ideology within the tribe. Because of the original battle, the Turghut tribe lost two or three thousand people, and the army sent to the east was almost 'annihilated'. And the entire Turghut tribe is only 200,000 people, and the blood relationship of two or three thousand people spreads out, which can cover every family of the entire tribe. This is a blood feud that cannot be resolved!

There are really many unwitting Turks who regard the Han Chinese as their enemies. I don't know what kind of psychology the old and young in the tribe should be after the matter is exposed. Worbasy felt that there must be a lot of people who cursed him......

"Vobassy, Vobassie......" Rumyantsev called Vobassie's name, who had been awarded the rank of cavalry general by Catherine II herself, but Rumyantsev knew Vobassy very well. The Turkut cavalry, who had been transferred to the Ottoman and Polish battlefields, was under Rumyantsev several times. This is a very tough old man. His hair was gray, no darker than the wig on his head, his cheeks were thick, and his forehead was covered with deep wrinkles, but his gray-blue eyes were still very spirited, and his tall body sat on a chair like a stake.

But Vobassy can fly out of the sky with a smile on his face, anyway, there are minutes of the meeting after this military meeting, and he can get a detailed copy, but Rumyantsev can't really ignore this Turghut Khan.

Twenty thousand cavalry. This man represents 20,000 cavalry!

If you tighten it tightly, you can pull out another 10,000 or 8,000.

Rumyantsev was well aware of Turgot's manpower, which was enough to prove Volbasi's loyalty to Russia.

So, in the eyes of Rumyantsev, Vaubasil was in no way inferior to Kamensky and Saltkov.

When Vobassy came back to his senses, he saw Rumyantsev looking at him with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The smile on Worbasey's face was almost unbearable, and the full smile that had been before immediately dried up.

The long conference table, as far as the eye can see, will be shining one by one. There may not be many people who actually lead the army, but what about staff and logistics? Whether it's a major general or a lieutenant general, they're all generals.

Make elaborate sand tables and huge 1/100,000 maps and put them where they should be. The entire conference room was silent. Even the attendants who were shuttling back and forth to pour coffee and hot tea for the generals unconsciously held their breath and stopped.

This meeting is of a very high standard and its importance cannot be overstated. Worbasy was distracted......

Several attendants looked at Wobashi out of the corner of their eyes, is this Tatar here to be funny, it really makes people laugh and cry.

Wu Baxi just wants to slap himself in the face, the 'day of victory' is getting closer and closer, and a bright future is in front of him, which has already thrown himself fluttering.

He was really careless today.

Sitting at this military meeting, he didn't even have the heart to look at Rumyantsev and Kamensky, and all that was wandering in his mind was the annihilation of the Russian Eastern Route Army, the cavalry of his own tribe, plus the attached cavalry under the Han people, a full sixty or seventy thousand people. What a force this is, what will it be like after sweeping thousands of miles and killing all the way across the Urals?

As long as he imagined this, he was so excited that his brain's attention unconsciously spread......

"Our most formidable opponent has arrived. Maybe just this month, maybe the next month, His Majesty the Emperor of China, the victor of the East, the creator of miracles, will arrive in Ili. ”

After the end of the Sino-Russian War, many things about Chen Ming spread in Russia. After China defeated Spain and the Netherlands in succession, especially after the end of the war in the Middle East and North America, Chen Ming's fame in Europe completely spread.

Even those old and young people who went to London and Paris to open the black, while they were blackening Chen Ming, they were also advertising Chen Ming.

Nowadays, many Europeans, especially the middle class and small capitalists with higher social status, almost no one does not know what Chen Ming's background is. That is the background of a small civil servant family, whose ancestors can run it, and has a relatively rich asset - 10,000 pounds.

This is already quite a lot in the eyes of many middle classes in Europe.

Then, with the 1,200 clansmen and tenants of his own family, he raised an army, and after wars again and again in ten years, he finally overthrew the Manchu Empire at its peak, which is really amazing and magical.

It was like a weak version of Hannibal who had managed to destroy Rome.

The Europeans soon put the word 'miracle' on his head, and then the high societies of the European continent created the title of 'Victor of the East'.

So, don't look at Chen Naruto who has never been to Europe, when his popularity in Europe is really not low.

In Rumyantsev, in Suvorov, in the eyes of many European celebrities, Chen Ming is really a wrist. Although he didn't fight a few major battles, in the process of rising, he fought more defensive battles.

In order to 'study' Chen Ming, many Europeans did not hesitate to pick up a lot of China's geographical data, as well as China's ancient wars. Many of these contributions were made by the old and young in London and Paris, and many by the missionaries.

Anyway, unconsciously, there was another wave of Chinese fever in Europe, and it was a very good link to the Chinese fever that began in Europe in the 17th century.

By this time, in the late 18th century, this wave of Chinese fever had been completely extinguished in Europe with the fall of the Bourbon dynasty in Gaul.

When the Europeans finished the Napoleonic Wars, recuperated for a while, and then looked up at the world, China's image changed to a different shape. Not long after, the Opium War began.

But now everything has changed in this time and space, although the Bourbon dynasty is still a pill, but the Europeans themselves spontaneously rose a wave of Chinese fever. It's a real craze. From Italy to Sweden, to Russia, to England, France, Prussia, Austria......

All countries are studying China to a greater or lesser extent.

With the resurgence of the Russian-Turkish War, China's influence in Europe has never been stronger.

Rumyantsev's face became even more serious, "Ladies and gentlemen, the real war is coming. When the Chinese emperor arrives in Ili, the Chinese will definitely launch a fierce counteroffensive. Perhaps they were gathering troops behind the battle line. The words of Pyotr Aleksandrovich Rumyantsev won the unanimous approval of those present. When the emperor came to the front, the morale of the squadron was bound to boil, just like the empress suddenly came to Tomsk, and his presence would make all the soldiers brave and strong, not afraid of death. The army will definitely launch a large-scale offensive!

"Although the Chinese army is larger, that advantage is not comparable to that of a strong fortress. If they take advantage of the high morale of the soldiers to attack, it will be a great opportunity for us to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese troops in front of us. ”

Rumyantsev's eyes were on Kamensky, on Vobassier.

If the Chinese army besieging the cities of Omsk, Barnaul and Baprodar suffered heavy losses, then it is not an extravagant hope that they, the 20,000 Russian troops and the 20,000 Turkish cavalry, will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to eat one or more of the Chinese troops.

"To this end, I will order the Siberian Army in Novokuznetsk to march towards Zaisanbo." There was only one division in this Siberian army, and the whole weave was three brigades and fifteen battalions. However, all the mobilized troops did not arrive, including the defenders of the Novokuznetsk fortress, only 14 battalions and 10,000 troops.

Well, yes, the Siberian Army is a temporary formation.

"Now the Chinese have the advantage on the battlefield, they have a lot more troops than us, especially in terms of cavalry, they have at least 40,000 vassal cavalry. The departure of the Siberian Army from Novokuznetsk alone was a great risk. But now we need them to attract the attention of the Chinese. "To put it bluntly, the Siberian army is a decoy. As long as the attention of the Chinese army is drawn to the Siberian army, it will be much easier for them to attack the Chinese army that has divided their forces to encircle the three Russian strongholds.

"Even if they hadn't suffered heavy losses when they attacked the fortress, we would have won." Of the 40,000 cavalry, there were 24,500 cavalry alone.

The total number of Chinese is only a small number, they have a relatively large number of troops, but they divide their troops to surround three important towns, and the troops in each place are quite limited. Although there are more than the defenders, it will not be a large army of 350,000 men.

Even without Chen Ming's arrival, Rumyantsev was ready to use the 'bait' - the Siberian Army to divert China's mobile forces, and then launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the besieging forces.
