On the seventh day of April in the third year of Chengde, Qingming has passed, the rainy season on the grassland has passed, the sky is high and refreshing, it is a good time to send troops, the Qing army soldiers who have rested for a winter and a spring go out of the Tianshan Mountains, in the face of the strict military appearance of the Qing army, the great strategy is not afraid to meet the battle, abandon Luntai City and leave, and flee to Ili in a panic, after the Qing army has a little rest in Luntai City, it will pursue and advance along the old road of the North Silk Road to Ili, and arrive at Kurkhala Wusu (the location of today's Wusu City) on April 18, It was less than 200 miles away from Ili, where the Golden Tent of the Dzungar Khanate was located, and the Dzungar Khan ordered the whole country to deploy troops in the area of Geden Mountain, preparing to meet the main force of the Qing army.

Gedeng Mountain, located in the territory of Zhaorong County today, the mountain is not high, it is only 100 meters up and down, a lonely mountain, shaped like a cone, it is not a very steep mountain, but it is the highest mountain in the Ili area, compared to the Ili River Basin of a horse and a flat river, this is already the most suitable terrain for defense, unwilling to retreat again Alabutan chose this place as the place of the decisive battle, it has its own different considerations, in this regard, Hongqing has long expected, but he does not take it to heart, and the department is unhurried to the direction of Geden Mountain, but not in a hurry, the day is only fifty miles, every day is on the three poles before the camp is set off, the sun is west and then set up camp, it is really very leisurely, this is not, today is a unitary time has just arrived has ordered the camp to be placed, and has not convened the generals to discuss the matter, Shi Shiran to the Chinese army tent a cat, lying on the rocking chair leisurely pretending to sleep.

"Lord Wang, a group of people from outside the camp, claiming to be envoys from Russia and the Kazakh Khanate, came to ask for a meeting, please show the prince."

When a sound of footsteps sounded, Ding Song had already walked into the tent quickly, but when he saw him bowing respectfully towards Hongqing, he hurriedly said a word.

"Well, pass!"

Hearing Ding Song's words, the corners of Hongqing's mouth immediately showed a faint smile, no side, the reason why Hongqing was not in a hurry to enter the army, waiting for the arrival of such an envoy group - although Alabutan was defending with the troops of the whole country, but in Hongqing's opinion, the hundreds of thousands of troops were just a rabble, and it was not enough to stuff the teeth of the Qing army at all, the only thing that made Hongqing a little jealous was the Russian Legion that had already been redressed, before he couldn't figure out the movements of the Russian Legion, Hongqing did not intend to be in a hurry to annihilate the Dzungar Khanate, what he wanted was to finish his work in one battle, and wipe out all the unstable factors in Western Xinjiang in one fell swoop, so as to gain time to stabilize the domestic situation.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Ding Song didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly answered, turned around, and was about to withdraw from the big tent.

"Slow, pass on the king's order, and the generals above the division level will come here immediately!"

Without waiting for Ding Song to raise his feet and take a step, Hongqing suddenly waved his hand and commanded again.

"Wow!"

As soon as he heard this, Ding Song had to turn around again, salute respectfully, and then hurriedly withdrew from the Chinese army's tent, leaving him alone without mentioning any other matters.

"Under the commander of the 1st Siberian Frontier Army of Great Russia Lev? Tolsky met His Royal Highness the Honorable Prince Ren. ”

As soon as the drum sounded, the generals above the division commander of each army had already rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after a while, I saw Ding Song leading four people from outside the tent to come in. Tolsky, who has not seen him for five years, has not only been promoted, but his bearing is obviously much calmer than before, but seeing that he took a few steps forward unhurriedly, he stood on his feet reservedly, stretched out his hand and took off the military hat on his head, bowed slightly, and saluted without being arrogant or humble.

"On behalf of my King Kaipu Khan, I would like to greet His Royal Highness the Venerable Prince Ren."

Lev? As soon as Tolsky's salute was finished, and without waiting for the interpreter to finish paraphrasing, a man followed closely behind Lev? The tall and thin man behind Tolsky was already busy taking a step forward, touching his chest, bowing deeply, and politely saluting in slightly stiff Chinese.

"Excuse me, what are you waiting for?"

After Hongqing quietly listened to the words of the two envoys, there was no expression on her flat face, and there was no polite greeting, so she asked directly about the intention of the two.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Ren, the Great Russian Empire is extremely concerned about the fact that your country has sent troops to invade the Dzungar Khanate, and I hope that your country can get along amicably with the Dzungar Khanate so as not to deteriorate the surrounding situation.

Hongqing's cold attitude is certainly not friendly, but is it, Lev? Tolsky, however, did not protest, and as soon as he heard the interpreter's paraphrase, he immediately shrugged his shoulders and talked about it with regret on his face.

"Well, do you have anything to say?"

After listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, Hongqing did not say anything to Lev? Tolsky commented on his words, but looked at the second minister of the Kazakh Khanate with a blank face, and asked in a slightly cold voice.

"Your Royal Highness, the Great Khan of our country expresses his deep regret over the tense situation around him, and hopes that your country can stop the sword soldiers so as not to suffer misery, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to learn from it."

The Kazakh Khanate is only a small country, and its military strength is quite weak, and the envoy of Nayuz obviously does not dare to be like Lev? Tolsky was so hard-hearted, and the tone of his reply was full of humility.

"Major General Tolsky, oh, now a lieutenant general, if this king remembers correctly, when Your Excellency sent me to the Qing Dynasty five years ago, you mentioned that you wanted to help me attack the Dzungar rebels, why, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your country has changed its mind?"

Hongqing coldly swept Na Yuzi, but did not pay attention to it anymore, but turned his gaze back to Lev? Tolsky, in a mocking tone, unceremoniously ridiculed him.

"Your Royal Highness, do you know that the Dzungar Khanate has concluded a friendship agreement with our Great Russian Empire four years ago, and as an ally, our Great Russian Empire is obliged to provide necessary assistance in the event of an attack on the Dzungar Khanate.

More than five years have passed, Lev? Tolsky is obviously experienced, and it is hard to say whether he has military talents, but his face is obviously thicker than back then, and his ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open has greatly increased.

"Friendship? Oh, how much is your country's friendship worth for a few dollars? If this king heard correctly, your country is planning to tear up the Treaty of Nebuchu? ”

What Hongqing really has to deal with in this expedition to the west is the ambitious old Maozi, so naturally he won't take Lev? Tolsky's so-called mediation words are taken to heart, as for the friendship between the two countries and the like, it is even more of a big joke, of course, is it a mystery such as righteousness, how much still has to be paid attention to, because of this, Hongqing does not hesitate to stimulate Lev? Tolsky.

"Your Royal Highness, please pay attention to your words and deeds, this will be on the orders of my Emperor of the Great Russian Empire......"

Lev? Thors is basically an impatient person, even though he has been a lot more restrained in the past few years, but the dog can't change the habit of ****, being provoked by Hongqing like this, even if he is angry, but seeing his face glaring, he is already angry and yelling.

"Presumptuous! To answer the question of this king, did the Russian Empire intend to tear up the Treaty of Nebuchu, yes, or not, um? ”

Don't wait for Lev? After Tolsky finished speaking, Hongqing had already slapped the copywriter suddenly, and he broke off his throat with a fierce voice.

"His Royal Highness the Prince thinks so, and he can only express regret here."

Shouted at by Hongqing, Lev? Tolsky's face flushed with exasperation at first, but he soon calmed down again, shrugged his shoulders fearlessly, and played the scoundrel on the spot.

"Very good, this king has always thought that peace is fought, not negotiated, since your country is determined to interfere in our internal affairs, then we can only see you on the battlefield, Your Excellency Tolsky, you can go back to your life, come, send off!"

This see Lev? Tolsky said this, Hongqing couldn't help laughing, didn't say anything to him, waved his hand, and gave the order to expel the guest.

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince is so insistent, my Three Kingdoms Alliance can only sit back and wait for His Royal Highness to arrive and leave."

Lev? Tolsky was very simple, dropped a sentence, turned around and walked outside the big tent without looking back, Kazakh Prime Minister Na Yuz saw this, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, just shook his head, and followed Lev wordlessly? Behind Tolsky.

"Lieutenant General Tolsky, this king once said that once you and I meet on the battlefield, we will take the head of Er, wash our necks, and wait for this king to cut them down."

Don't wait for Lev? When Tolsky walked out of the big tent, Hongqing already smiled coldly, and unceremoniously pronounced the sentence of Lev? Tolsky's death sentence.

"Hey, hahaha......"

As soon as Hongqing said this, he followed closely in Lev? The Russian interpreter behind Tolsky didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and relayed Hongqing's words in Russian. Tolsky, instead of being angry, threw up his head and laughed, as if he had heard the best joke in the world......
