Feiyanggu, a native of the White Flag of Manchuria, and the Minister of the Interior, was born in the second year of Shunzhi. His sister is Shunzhi Chaochao Chao Chao ...... The beloved Concubine Dong E! His father, E Shuo, died in the 14th year of Shunzhi, and Feiyanggu, who was only 13 years old at the time, inherited the earl title that his father had promoted to the rank of imperial concubine a year earlier (the 13th year of Shunzhi) when his daughter was made an imperial concubine.

The 13-year-old little earl knows how to restrain himself, and when his sister is the most favored, he does not indulge in his words and deeds, and he seizes the time to learn Wen Taowu strategy to lay the foundation for his future achievements. Later, when the rebellion of the three feudatories was quelled, the young Feiyanggu served under the account of Yue Le, Prince An, and successively defeated the generals Huang Naizhong, Xia Guoxiang, and Wu Guogui under Wu Sangui.

Later, when Geldan rose, Kangxi ordered him to garrison Gubeikou and prepare for the westward expedition!

It's just that he didn't expect that Geldan actually jumped into the mouth of the Qing army by himself.

Originally, he led the army of the West Road to march towards the Ulan Butong area step by step, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive an order from Kangxi, especially when he learned that it was Suo Etu and Tong Guogang who led the main force of the imperial camp to help Fuquan, he felt that something was wrong! He knows very well that a high-powered figure like Suo Etu, who has been in the capital all the year round, is the most difficult to do. Say they don't understand military affairs, they still understand some, say they can fight, these people have been neglected in battle formations for a long time, especially the lack of the courage of battlefield generals, they can only fight with the wind...... Under normal circumstances, these Beijing officials want to make military merits, because the Qing court's rewards for military merits have always been the most generous! But don't you let them fight, these people are in high positions, and he really can't tell what to do with the Fu Quanhui...... What's more, according to his research on Geerdan, he couldn't see that Fuquan Kasuo Etu could deal with this person, and as for Tong Guogang, he had no battlefield experience, so after thinking about it, in order to avoid a big change in Kangxi's strategy because of a little deviation, he first led the 30,000 cavalry under his command to rush towards the battlefield.

As a result, Geldan was blocked from retreating!

The north-south attack has been achieved!

Gerdan's army is not moving!

"Great Khan, what to do? Why don't we rush over? ”

One of Gurdan's men, a Titan general, rushed to his side and asked.

"Rush over?" Geldan smiled ugly, "Thirty thousand cavalry, even if you stand there and let us gnaw for a while, this time is enough for Fuquan on the other side of the river to bombard us with red-clothed cannons!" What's more, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under Na Fuquan, and there must be follow-up troops behind Na Feiyanggu! …… Even if we win consecutive battles, what awaits us will be the encirclement and suppression of those thieves and the Kangxi army in Eastern Mongolia! ”

"What then? ...... "Gurdan's right head, Dorji, who once had a painful experience in Eastern Mongolia, came out, his injuries have not yet healed, and he just begged Geldan to bring him here, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation...... Could it be that this Eastern Mongolia is really his ominous place?

"Great Khan, there is no Qing army in the northeast, or I will lead the troops to block Feiyanggu and the Fuquan behind, you will lead the troops to withdraw first!" Dorji thought for a moment, and then said to Gerdan.

"Northeast? No way! The number of Qing troops is not less than ours, if you want to block them, you will definitely not survive, and our military horses will be consumed a lot. Moreover, Na Fuquan's artillery is powerful, if he uses the red-coated cannon to blast your defense line, and take advantage of the time when I retreat, the army will attack in the back when it is inconvenient for the army to turn, and our army will be in danger! ……”

"Are we just waiting here to die?"

"Waiting to die? No! ......," Gerdan smiled slightly, "that's not who I am. This time, I will not only retreat safely, but also preserve the strength of our army! I figured out that the best way for us to do it now is to surrender! ”

"Surrender?"

************

"I am willing to surrender to the great Bogda Khan, hoping that Bogda Khan, who is as broad-minded as the heavens and the earth, can forgive him for his previous mistakes, and forgive him and his men's sins, if possible, Geldan Khan is willing to hand over the Khan's throne and military power, and only hope that Bogda Khan and the Qing court can spare these hundreds of thousands of ignorant Jungdar people......"

Gelong agitated his tongue and talked eloquently in front of Fuquan, Suo Etu and Tong Guogang!

"Surrender?"

The three of them were dumbfounded! Seeing that Geerdan's army was not moving just now, Fu Quanzheng was so happy that he wanted to bombard it with cannons again, but when he saw this Gelong holding a white flag and riding a horse from the opposite side, he thought that Geldan wanted to play some trick again, but he didn't expect that it would be a surrender.

"Hmph, Geldan has not yet reached the point of exhaustion at this time, will he ask for surrender?" Fu Quan said coldly.

"Wise people don't go to hell to pray to the Buddha...... Dear Prince Yu, is our army really not yet exhausted? Gelong smiled at Fu Quan, and then said: "In front of us is your army Prince Yu, which is difficult to break through by defending the river; To the west, the army of the ancient generals has arrived; To the north, there are the soldiers and horses of Eastern Mongolia; To the east, there is the important land of Manchuria...... May I ask Prince Yu, where else can we go? ”

"You can break through!" Tong Guogang scoffed. He originally wanted to make some military merits in this big battle, but this Geldan was so useless and surrendered? Doesn't this make him pour cold water on his head when he is full of enthusiasm?

"This 'big' general, we Mongolians respect strength, even if Geldan Khan breaks through, he is afraid that he will be killed by the enemies along the way before he returns to Western Mongolia, not to mention that Geldan Khan is no longer young, he will not have more than ten years to regain his strength, and then reunify Western Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia, not to mention, will Bogda Khan let him recover his strength?"

"It's hard to believe that Geldan surrendered like this!" Suo Etu said.

"We Geldan Khan also know that this will happen, so if you agree to his surrender, he can swear an oath before the battle...... Of course, there are conditions for doing so! ”

"What are the conditions for Gerdan?" Listening to what Gelong said, Suo Etu's heart was moved! The Mongols swore the heaviest oath, if Geldan really swore before the battle, then there was a great possibility that he would surrender, especially since he had not touched a knife and gun on the battlefield for decades, and it was not his turn to kill the enemy in battle, but if he could promote Geldan to surrender, who could compare with him?

"Geldan Khan can swear an oath before the battle, but the court must also show sincerity, and must agree to several of his requests!"

"Geldan rebelled against the Celestial Empire, and his crime is not punishable! If he reins in the precipice now, he will be considered an acquaintance, but if he wants to talk to the court about the conditions, hmph, don't think about it! Fu Quan Senran said. Geldan had just killed nearly 20,000 of his soldiers and horses not long ago, and now he was playing a fool and saying that he would surrender, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world? If he doesn't peel off a few layers of this guy's skin, he really can't get rid of the hatred in his heart?

"Prince Yu, don't say that! If you can get Geldan to surrender without swords and guns, it will be a great achievement. At that time, the emperor will definitely praise him greatly, and there will be many fewer casualties among our soldiers. Why are you so stubborn? In my opinion, let's listen to Geldan's conditions first! Suo Etu didn't care about Fuquan's dark face, turned his head and said to Gelong: "Say, what conditions does Geldan have?" ”

"We, Geldan Khan, need several assurances from the imperial court: first, we cannot take his life; second, give him a mansion in Beijing; Third, he could not be condemned to the Western Mongolian soldiers who surrendered with him; Fourth, to secure his property; Fifth, he can't mention his rebellion against the court in the future! ”

"Well, these conditions are not excessive...... Suo Etu pondered for a while, and felt that Geerdan's conditions were very acceptable, so he turned his head to Tong Guogang, "Uncle Guo, what do you think?" ”

"This ...... I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you want! Since he has taken refuge in Suo Etu, although Tong Guogang is unhappy that he can't make military merits, he can only say what Suo Etu means.

"Haha, Uncle Guo seems to be hoping to turn war into jade silk, what do you think about the prince?" With Tong Guogang's support, Suo Etu looked at Fuquan with a laugh.

"I always feel that Geldan is not credible...... "Suo Etu is the prince's uncle, although Fuquan is Kangxi's brother, but, in terms of intimacy, he has little friendship with the prince, if the prince can ascend the throne in the future, even if he is the prince's uncle, he has to call himself a "slave". Therefore, he didn't want to offend Suo Etu too much. And he originally wanted to join all the armies and then fight a decisive battle with Geerdan, so it was safe, but at this time, the situation changed due to the arrival of Feiyanggu, and now if he really forced Geerdan's dog to jump off the wall, the loss would be serious, so although he was unwilling to accept Geerdan's surrender, he also knew the benefits of doing so, and his opposition was not very resolute.

"Why does the prince have so much heart? Even if Geldan is a ghost, can he still escape from our encirclement? Suo Etu smiled, and whispered in Fuquan's ear: "I know that the prince is not happy that Geerdan killed and injured your men, but this Geerdan will descend in the future, and you want to rectify him, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?" What's more, how can a victory in a battle be compared to an effortless effort to recruit an army of hundreds of thousands? ”

"This ......"

"Why is the prince still so hesitant? …… This matter is so decided, and all the responsibility is borne by Suo! Suo Etu saw that Fuquan was difficult to choose, and he was very impatient in his heart, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and made a decision on the spot.

……

Satisfied with his return, Feiyanggu entered the camp of Fuquan.

At this time, Feiyanggu was nearly fifty years old, and due to the long-term presence of soldiers, the two sides were full of hoarfrost, but he was still very strong.

Kangxi's order to Feiyanggu to command the armies of the Chinese and Western Roads had already been notified to Fuquan and others, and now that the Lord is coming, they naturally came to greet him.

"What? Gerdan is going to surrender? "Feiyang Gu came here to discuss with Fuquan and the others how to deal with Geerdan, after all, although Geerdan was surrounded on the surface, his strength was not much lost, but when he saw the three of them, before he could speak, Suo Etu had already taken the lead.

"Yes, Geldan saw that my army had surrounded him, and he felt hopeless and was willing to surrender to the imperial court!" Suo Etu looked at Feiyang Gu's surprised look and said proudly.

"This ......" Fei Yanggu glanced at Suo Etu and said with a wry smile: "Has Suo Xiang already agreed?" …… Geldan has been rampant for many years, he is by no means an idle person, his person is as cunning as a fox, and his strength is still there, what if he surrenders? ”

"Fraud? Hmph, do you think Feijunmen is such a deceitful person that I ask for a map? Suo Etu said unhappily: "Although we accepted Geldan's surrender, our army still has some arrangements. Front, thirty red-clothed cannons are facing Geerdan's barracks, hundreds of thousands of troops are ready to attack at any time, hehe, if he Geerdan surrenders, we will first bombard with cannons, at that time, there is a flying army gate behind him, where can you retreat? As long as we bombard him hard for two hours, it will be enough for him to drink a pot, and under the power of the red-coated cannon, it will be difficult for him to reorganize the army, and at that time, we will storm his camp with cavalry, if not to destroy him, but to make him suffer heavy losses! ......" Suo Etu said with spit splashing, and the more he spoke, the more smug he became, not noticing that Feiyanggu had closed his eyes.

Tong Guogang also came over to have fun, and saw that Feiyanggu closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something, so he said: "Hey, I said Feijunmen, Suo Xiang is confident, the arrangement has been decided, we are sure to win, what are you still thinking about?" ”

Feiyang Gu Huo Ran opened his eyes, but his expression was very grim than just now: "Sure to win? No, our emperor has arranged such a big dish, but he wants the whole army of Geldan, so he must not be allowed to run out and kill a single soldier. If it is a method that depends on Soso, Geldan may take advantage of the chaos to escape! Therefore, not only can we not believe his words of surrender, but we must also prepare with many hands! In my opinion, the red-coated artillery can't all be placed on the front, only 30,000 cavalry in the northwest is not enough, and the defense over there must be strengthened, and the Shenji battalion must also be transferred to the front. ”

Suo Etu was on the rise, and when he heard Feiyang Gu say this, his face immediately sank: "Why, the old man is also a person who has been fighting for decades, and he doesn't even have this common sense?" He Geldan is already a turtle in an urn at this time, even if he runs, where can he run? He rode a horse, could it be that our army rode a donkey? If he can run, we can chase it! What's more, there are 70,000 follow-up troops in the northwest that you flew to the military gate, does he dare to run over there? If we take away the artillery to defend the northwest, the offensive force of the front will be weakened, if we can't attack, but let Geldan concentrate all his strength to break the defense of our army's front and go towards the Central Plains. ”

This was said with enough weight, and Feiyang Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Suo Xiang's words are reasonable. However, our army had more than 100,000 troops in front of it, and it was defended by the river, leaving half of the red-coated cannons, and according to the lower officials, it was impossible for Geldan to break through. Moreover, if our army is heavily defended on both sides, Geldan will throw a rat trap, as long as he waits for the arrival of my follow-up army, he will not be able to run even if he wants to! At that time, we won't fight as much as we want? …… We can't let Geldan seize the opportunity to run away because of a moment of pride! ……”

Before Feiyanggu's words were finished, Suo Etu was already angry: "What, what, proud? What are you talking about? Geldan now wants to surrender! Don't we even say a word? Isn't that forcing that guy to fight us? If we can not use the sword soldiers, can't we still lose a lot of soldiers and spend a lot of money and food? Feijunmen, to put it mildly, shouldn't you deliberately say this because you want to make meritorious contributions, and you are unwilling to accept Geerdan's surrender, right? ”

Feiyanggu was stunned, this Suo Etu showed the identity of the minister of the study, and the words were bones and thorns, what should he do? Is it difficult to ask Kangxi for ruling? Isn't this the royal petition for the sue for the forehead? In that way, with Suo Etu's temperament, this is a lifetime of hatred! However, now that he is the chief general of the two armies appointed by the emperor, he can't watch Suo Etu do this, if he really lets Geldan rush out from the northwest, break it into pieces, and run back to Western Mongolia, he can't explain to Kangxi even if he cuts off his head. So, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Suo Xiang, it's not that the lower officials refute your face, thirty cannons, all of them are inappropriate to put on the front." Geldan has also lost battles in the past, but he is a scheming person, and he has a deep friendship with the Qinghai Sibu, his two concubines are still the daughters of Gushi Khan of the Heshute Department, and he himself is a disciple of the Tibetan * Lama, and even his name of "Bo Shuotu Khan" is also sealed by the * Lama, if he deceives this time to show weakness and escapes, even if he suffers heavy losses, he can also collude with the Qinghai Sibu or * Lama, at that time, not only Moxi, Mobei, but also Qinghai and Tibet will have trouble, and the consequences will be really unimaginable. ”

After Feiyanggu finished speaking, he waited to carry it hard with Suo Etu. However, at this time, Suo Etu's brain was not idle. He also thought that this dispute with Feiyanggu would not be able to hide it from Kangxi sooner or later, if things were really as Feiyanggu estimated, how could Kangxi spare him? That's a crime of not being able to eat and walking around! What's more, Feiyang Gu is the main general, although he is the prime minister, but if he really comes hard, it will definitely be a crime at that time.

However, before he could change his face and say a few good words to Feiyanggu, Fuquan, who had been listening, couldn't stand it. Fuquan felt that Feiyanggu was reasonable, if this Geerdan really surrendered to drag down the army, but secretly prepared a surprise attack on the northwest in the camel city, it would be a big problem, so this matter could not be delayed any longer, and he immediately said to Feiyanggu: "Feijunmen, according to your wishes, transfer fifteen red-clothed cannons to the northwest, and then transfer one thousand Shenji battalions, I can divide another 10,000 cavalry, what do you think?" ”

Fuquan's statement, Suo Etu can't say anything! Feiyang Gu Chaofu nodded and began to transfer troops.
