"Lord Wang, Lao Maozi is extremely rude, and the last general will ask for orders to fight the vanguard, if you don't capture this fang, you swear not to be a man!"

"Lord Wang, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, and please ask the prince for permission!"

"Lord Wang, thieves are rampant, and they must not be spared!"

……

All the generals were killed by Lev? Angered by Tolsky's arrogant posture before leaving, Tashan, Zhang Miao and other important generals stood up and shouted for battle, vying to fight the vanguard.

"Huh."

In the face of the raging emotions of the generals, Hongqing just smiled indifferently, did not rush to express his position, and did not comment much, allowing the generals to argue there.

"Lord Wang, secret letter."

Just when the crowd was waiting for a lot of noise, they saw Ding Song hurriedly enter from outside the tent and handed a small wax pill to Hongqing.

As soon as I heard the word "secret letter", all the generals stopped making trouble, staring at the small wax pill with bright eyes, as soon as I saw this, Hongqing couldn't help but smile again, but I didn't say much, I reached out and took the wax pill, only pinched, and the wax shell was crushed, revealing a piece of paper together, spread it out, and the smile on the corner of my mouth immediately became a little thicker.

On the occasion of the previous peace of southern Xinjiang, the reason why Hongqing led the main force along the southern line had two purposes, one was to induce the Dzungar army to attack Yue Zhongqi's department, which was not much in force, so as to give full play to the absolute superiority of its own firepower to severely damage the main force of the Dzungar army, as for the second, it was to secretly meet with the Kazakh Kaipu Khan and subdue it with strong troops, and at that time, it was Na Yuzi and his people who went to the Qing army camp to meet with Hongqing, and the two sides had reached a consensus after several consultations, that is, the Kazakh Khanate would become one of the subject states of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty ensured the security and stability of the Kazakh Khanate, and in addition, once the war broke out in northern Xinjiang, the Kazakh Khanate would fully cooperate with the Qing army's actions and enter the Triple Alliance.

"Princes, the enemy situation is clear, in the area of Geden Mountain, there are more than 143,000 Dzungar troops, 32,000 cavalry of the Kazakh army, as for Lao Maozi, this time it is a bloody capital, its Siberian first, second, and third armies are all here, and there are more than 25,000 Cossack cavalry to help, with a total strength of more than 105,000 troops, of which the Siberian first and second armies are full armies, each army has three divisions, each division has four regiments, each regiment has 2,000 men and horses, and the third army is half fullThere are only two divisions, each division has two regiments, a total of 8,000 troops, as for its main Guards First Army, the establishment is roughly the same as that of the Siberian First and Second Armies, but the training level and equipment are far stronger than the Siberian Infantry Army, the Russian army has about 200 new artillery, in addition, except for its Siberian Third Army, which still uses backward arquebuses, the rest of the divisions have been reloaded, equipped with flintlock pistols made in France, with an effective firing range of about 400 paces and a rate of fire of about four rounds per minute, although there is a gap compared with the standard firearms of our army. But it should not be underestimated, all the princes and say, do you have any views on this battle? ”

Hongqing glanced at the generals with burning eyes, smiled, and did not hide anything, and gave a detailed overview of the enemy situation.

"Lord Mingjian, the last general thinks that although there are many thieves, they are just rabble, and it is difficult to stop my army from entering, and the last general is not talented, and he is willing to be the vanguard!"

Tashan has always been a belligerent master, since the birth of this western expedition, he has not caught a decent battle to fight, but his subordinate Yue Zhongqi has made great contributions, as a military commander, Tashan can't help but feel quite aggrieved, has long been looking forward to a good opportunity to show his skills, this moment when he heard Hongqing ask the law, he immediately came to the spirit, hurriedly flashed out from the side, and shouted to ask for war.

"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that what General Ta said is reasonable, however, the thieves and elk gathered in the area of Gedeng Mountain, and people came to provoke us and others, I am afraid that there is no ambush, and it is really necessary to guard against it, and I think it is appropriate to lure the thief army out to fight."

Cheng Guiwu, the commander of the Third Army, was relatively cautious, although he was also eager to fight, and all aspects that could be considered were obviously more comprehensive than those of Tashan.

"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that although it is not unreasonable for Commander Cheng to worry, however, if you want to achieve this, I am afraid that it will be difficult, today, our army is on an expedition, and it is difficult to transport grain and straw, and it is advantageous to attack urgently, if the war is delayed, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the war, so the last general thinks that it should be a blow and gather the thieves to destroy the thieves near Geden Mountain!"

Zhang Miao, commander of the Second Army, was obviously not very optimistic about Cheng Guiwu's proposal, and put forward the idea of deciding the outcome of the First World War.

"Well, what do you think?"

Hongqing had his own opinions in his heart, but he didn't intend to say it in a hurry, nor did he comment on the suggestions of the three army commanders, so he just spoke noncommittally and threw the question to Yue Zhongqi, the new deputy commander of the First Army and commander of the First Division, who had always been silent.

"Lord Mingjian, the last general heard that there is a lot of rain in the Ili area, every May, often heavy rain, I am afraid that our army is more unfavorable, in terms of Lao Maozi, I am afraid that it is the same, so there is this show of strength, in view of this, the last general also thinks that it is appropriate to break the enemy in a rapid battle."

Since the Western Expedition, most of the military exploits are Yue Zhongqi, although this is an honor, but it can not help but make the generals jealous, because of this, last winter to the present, every time there is a discussion, Yue Zhongqi can not open his mouth, this discussion is also the same, but Hongqing is a question, but he can't help but answer, after a little muttering, he explained the reason that the battle must be fought from another side, but it is not the words of self-invitation to be a pioneer, obviously not planning to grab the credit again.

"Well, since all the princes think that they should fight urgently, then it is so decided, accelerate the journey tomorrow, enter Geden Mountain in three days, and wipe out the enemy in one battle!"

As a general, he doesn't know astronomy and geography, but he is just a mediocre talent, in this regard, Hongqing knows very well in his heart, as early as before the expedition, Hongqing has already investigated the geography and climate conditions in the Ili area, since he knows that the rainy season in Ili is coming, and he has already made sufficient preparations, the reason why he is not in a hurry to send troops to attack Geden, but he has to wait for the news of the Kazakh Khanate, and now, the enemy situation is clear, Hongqing will not have too many scruples, as for the possible ambush of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Hongqing really does not care much, one is that there is such an internal response as the Kazakh Khanate, and second, Hongqing has absolute confidence in the strength of the 125,000 army under his hands, and he is really not afraid that the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be able to make any waves, and he smiled indifferently, and has made a final decision......

Although Geden Mountain is not very high, but the area is not small, its top of the mountain is flat, the area is nearly 100 acres square, the golden horde of the Dzungar Khan is located here, at this time, there are only six people in the huge big tent, and in the middle is a burly middle-aged strong man, but seeing this person is full of beard, the appearance is rough, but a pair of eyes from time to time flashed with a wise light, this person is the Dzungar Great Khan Arabutan, and the gloomy thin man on his right hand is the second minister of the Kazakh Khanate, And the tall and fat Russian who sat proudly on the left hand side of Arabutan was Alexei, the Russian governor of Siberia who had sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty five years ago? Ivanov? Grand Duke Gagarin, as for the other three, just look at the costumes and know that they are all interpreters. Although Gagarin and the others sat quite closely, they did not say a word, and their faces were not very good, obviously the deliberations had reached an impasse, and no one was willing to speak before, so as not to weaken their own morale.

"Report, Great Khan, the Qing Dog army has arrived ten miles away and is encamping, please make it clear to the Great Khan!"

In the dead silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded, and then I saw a newspaper horse sweating from outside the tent, and pointed to the Arabutan on one knee, and said in a hurried tone.

"Probe!"

As soon as he heard Baoma's words, the hand holding the wine glass trembled obviously, but it quickly stabilized, and he didn't ask about it, but just gave an order with an expressionless face.

"Yes!"

Hearing such an order from Alabutan, the horseman did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly answered, and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent.

"Great Khan, what you said below is right, isn't the Qing army coming? Hehe, if you and I join together, we will benefit both, and if we divide it, we will lose both, Great Khan, do you think this covenant should be signed first? ”

As soon as the newspaper party retreated, Grand Duke Gagarin, who had listened to the translation and relay, immediately had a smug smile on his face, and smiled and squeezed out the plot against Alabutan - the Russians have always been very greedy, and they have never been profitable and cannot afford to be early, and in the past few years, they vigorously supported the Dzungar Khanate, half sold and half sent a large number of arms, and this time they sent troops to help, but it was not for any fairness and justice, the purpose was two, one was to suppress the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and the other was to naturally take advantage of the fire to rob and plan to swallow the Dzungar Khanate. The so-called covenant is nothing but an unequal treaty between the suzerainty and the subject state, which is also the reason why Grand Duke Gagarin strongly advocated sending Lieutenant General Tolsky to the Qing army to mediate, but in fact deliberately provoked the Qing army to come and suppress it.

"Well...... bring me a pen!"

Being forced by Grand Duke Gagarin like this, Arabutan was obviously very angry, but he was also helpless, and snorted heavily with a cold face, but he still had to give in......
