Chapter 145: The Second Expedition to Geldan (12)

Nuoda's imperial tent, more than a dozen dear and noble courtiers, all of them were stunned after Yin's words, no one had ever thought about this matter in detail, could it be that Geldan actually wanted to set up an empty city under his words? The eldest brother soon had a happy face, while King Gong, King Kang, and King Xianjun were a little suspicious. Reading the book // King Yu, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother meditated for a while, but they were both happy and worried. After looking around, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Kangxi's lips, and he was about to speak, when he saw Suo Etu kowtow his head heavily, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the words of the fourth elder brother are absolutely unacceptable." Even if the emperor puts the slave on the sin of lying today, the slave will say the same. The fourth elder brother has no evidence, and only speculates on speculation, which is very risky. If Geldan had formed an alliance with the Rakshasa earlier, these 60,000 musketeers would have been waiting in Uyan Balan long ago, what should they do?

Tong Guowei had long been anxious in his heart, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and when he saw that Kangxi set his eyes on Yin? again, he couldn't care about it, and reminded Yinwei in a low voice: "Fourth elder brother, the prelude is right, you must be cautious." ”

Yin smiled indifferently, did not answer, only hugged his fist towards Kangxi and said: "Master Suo's concern, although it sounds a little reasonable, it can't withstand scrutiny. Suo Etu's face couldn't help but change color slightly. In the past 20 years, although Suo Etu is not in the name of Zaifu, he has the fact of being a prime minister, not to mention that even the prince will respect Suo Xiang in private, and Kangxi sometimes only laughs when he hears it. The emperor's brothers were very polite when they saw Suo Etu on weekdays, but now they were refuted like this, and the old face couldn't be pulled down. Even if he has a so-called minister, he is stabbed by someone so directly, and he is not very happy in his heart. Besides, if this proposal is carried out, the whole battalion will inevitably face a tragic battle. On two occasions, Suo Etu had consulted with the Rakshasa in Nebuchu and knew best the benefits and disadvantages of the Rakshasa firearms. The Qing army fought two battles with the Rakshasas, both of which trapped the city with several times the soldiers and cut off the water and food of the Rakshasas, so they surrounded and won. If the strength of the army is close to that of the other party, with the fierceness of the Rakshasas, the chances of winning are very small, not to mention the 60,000 Rakshasa spearmen, and the four battalions of their own firearms are only 10,000 people, according to Suo Etu, there is no chance of winning at all. Suo Etu is the counselor of the battalion, it is not out of his original intention, and now he is leading the title of first-class duke, which is already the highest title in the non-clan, and the quality of the minister is a positive product, which can be described as a very popular minister, Suo Etu does not want to fight for any more military achievements. According to his own thoughts, it is better to be stable with the crown prince in Beijing than to put himself in unforeseen danger like this. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it is not impossible to be crowned a king with his supernatural skills. After thinking about it carefully, Suo Etu felt that he also had to persuade Kangxi to dispel the idea of a war.

Suo Etu wanted to fight with Yin? again, but was blocked back by Kangxi with a sharp look, Kangxi nodded Yin's right hand, and there was a faint mockery in his tone, and said: "Fourth elder brother, have you seen it?" Suo Etu is preparing to fight with you in the ring. If you can't tell you anything, I won't be able to protect you. Yin smiled slightly, paused, and said, "Erchen understands." Erchen just wanted to talk to Master Suo about Erchen's mission. Now the ministers are in charge of the 60,000 soldiers in the imperial camp, and they don't dare to say that they know everything about the grain. At least a little bit of fur. Yin turned to Suo Etu again, and said: "Lord Suo has been in the center for a long time, and he is naturally familiar with the affairs of various departments, dare to ask your lordship, can you know how much the camp uses a day? Suo Etuden was speechless and couldn't answer. It's not that Suo Etu doesn't know the answer, but he also thinks of the meaning of Yin's words. In the past, Suo Etu sent an envoy to Nebuchu, and the mission was only more than 1,000 people, but it used 4,000 camels and more than 10,000 horses, and every day they relied on these horses and camels to continuously transport grain and grass to the camp. When Kangxi conquered Geldan in the 29th year, there were 50,000 men and horses, and for each soldier and horse, there were at least three or even four times as many horses and camels as Si to transport grain and grass. If there are 60,000 reinforcements in Geerdanguo, plus more than 20,000 people in the headquarters, it will be nerve-wracking to chew and wrap the men and horses every day. However, these simplest facts were ignored by him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Kangxi's face sank, and he said, "Since Suo Etu doesn't answer, then I will answer for him." The Chinese army alone only needs to consume 800 stone of grain and about 2,000 quintals of forage for one meal a day. The animals that were levied and transported were more than 100,000. Geldan really wants to garrison 80,000 troops, but he is afraid that the horses and camels that transport grain and grass alone at a daily price will be more than ten miles. The local area of Wuyan Balan is nothing more than a place where a few tribes often graze and live, and the supply of this place alone is absolutely unable to raise these many horses. If it is transported from outside, the east and west roads will be stuck by Feiyangu, Sunsike, Sabusu, etc. I dare to assert that even a grain can't be transported in!" At this time, Kangxi gently tapped a fold in front of him with his left hand, and said: "I have here the excerpt of Sun Sike that I received today, and in order to block his way, Geldan burned many grasslands, which made it difficult for the Western Route Army to move forward, and I am afraid that it will take more than ten days for the Western Route Army to meet with the East Road." Is it possible that Geerdan will burn his own grain?" Kangxi looked calm, but the ministers were shocked in their hearts, the west road was delayed again, and the middle road was only afraid that it would become inevitable.

Kangxi finished speaking, his eyes stopped on several princes and ministers for a while, and noticed that most of them still showed hesitation, Kangxi's voice was a little colder, and said: "I have made up my mind, and the middle route army must reach the Krulun River within five days." I'm going to kill Geldan myself!"

Although Suo Etu had anticipated Kangxi's thoughts, he didn't want to stop there, and after a little hesitation, he still cried again: "Your Majesty, you are the co-lord of the world, and the well-being of all the people is tied to one." If so, if Geldan really has reinforcements, even if it is not 60,000, even if it is only 120,000, the master will not be damaged in the slightest, and the minions will not be redeemed, Emperor!"

Kangxi was disgusted for a while, and suddenly became angry, and said sharply: "Are you worried about my safety or your own safety?"

Seeing that Kangxi Longyan was furious, everyone fell to the ground and pleaded guilty, saying: "The ministers (slaves) and others are guilty." Suo Etu, Tong Guowei and other people who retreated were even more in a cold sweat. Suo Etu's heart was broken by Kangxi's words, and his body couldn't help but bow down a little.

Kangxi was also moved at this time, and said angrily: "This time the army has been prepared, since our army has come to this place, Geldan can be captured and destroyed, how can he be cowardly and retreat? Not to mention anything else, the ancient soldiers of Feiyang and our army have made an appointment to attack, and now our army will return if they lose the appointment, then the soldiers of the east and west roads can no longer be asked." Returning to the capital, how can I tell the Heaven and Earth Sect and Temple Society? Besides, if you don't move forward bravely at this time, after the patrol retreats, I will be punished!" The last word fell, Kangxi pulled out his side sword like lightning, raised the sword in his hand, and cut off the corner of the case!\
