The grassland after the heavy rain is muddy, and a piece of mud is splashed when you go down, which is really not a good time to march, but at this moment a huge army is marching in the muddy water with great difficulty, whether it is an officer or a soldier, all of them are covered in muddy water, with a tired look on their faces, but they are forced to trek forward by orders, and their morale has already fallen to the extreme. On a small hill not far away, a white-bearded general was silently watching this troubled army surrounded by dozens of horsemen and guards, although his face was calm, but his eyes flashed with anxiety, this veteran was none other than Feiyangu, the commander of the Western Route Army.

Fei Yanggu, forty-nine years old, Manchuria is a native of the White Banner, the younger brother of the Shunzhi Emperor's concubine Dong E, the son of the third-class Bo Eshuo, the Minister of the Interior, participated in the pacification of the rebellion of the three feudatories, made great contributions, was promoted to the Minister of the Guard, the Minister of Parliament, and was a famous general during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. This time, Feng Zhao led the West Route Army of 46,000 people to go out from naturalization, and on the way to meet the Zhenwu general Sun Sike, Xi'an general Bo Ji's green battalion of more than 10,000 people, the whole army has a total of 57,000 people, is the main force of the expedition, originally expected to meet with the Kangxi old man's middle route army in Tula in mid-April, but did not expect Geldan to implement the strong wall clearing, along the way the grassland is mostly burned by Galdan, had to take a detour, and the postponement is still more than half a month away from Tula, resulting in the middle route army in the unfavorable situation of being alone in the depthThe anxiety in Feiyangu's heart is really difficult to describe, even if he encounters such a heavy rainy day, he will not stop the pace of the marching army, and he can't wait to rush to Tula in an instant.

A ranger suddenly rushed from the front of the group to the hill where Feiyangu was located, and shouted incessantly: "Urgent, urgent, the Holy Envoy has arrived at the front." Worried about the safety of the holy car, Feiyangu immediately rode down the mountain and led the guards in a hurry in the direction of the front army. When he arrived at the front army, Fei Yangu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yinzuo: Kangxi sent the sixth elder brother to come, which shows that this matter is very important, could it be that he came to ask for the crime? Delaying the time and delaying the fighter plane, this crime is very big, enough to lose his head, Rao is Feiyangu is known for his calmness, and he can't help but have some speculation in his heart at this moment. Just as he was in doubt, Yinzuo rode on his horse and said loudly: "The Holy Secret Edict, Feiyangu receives the decree." ”

Feiyangu immediately knelt down, took the secret decree in Yinzuo's hand with both hands, thanked him, and then opened it to take a closer look, and at a glance, his heart was ecstatic, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army stops, and then camps down, and the commanders of each army go to the Chinese army's big account to listen to the dispatch." Fei Yangu immediately rushed out behind him, and rode to the various armies without mentioning the order.

As soon as Fei Yanggu turned around, Yinzuo had already dismounted, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The last general loves Xinjueluo; Yinzuo see Fei Shuai. How dare Fei Yanggu accept Yinzuo's gift, he hurriedly jumped away and said: "Sixth elder brother, what are you doing here, do you have to die of old decay?" ”

"Marshal, there are only generals in the army and no sixth elder brother, and the last general was ordered to come and wait for the dispatch." Yinzuo replied.

Fei Yang Gujiu has been working in Beijing for a long time, and he is also familiar with Yinzuo, but he has never had a deep friendship, he knows Yinzuo very well, and knows that this master can be civil and martial, and he is the most outstanding one among all the elder brothers. In that secret decree, it was mentioned that Yinzuo would be appointed as the deputy marshal of the Western Route Army, Lao Fei was worried that this sixth elder brother was not easy to manage, and he couldn't manage it, and he was playing a drum in his heart. ”

Although he has been running for more than ten days in order to pass on the decree, he can still afford the physique that he has boiled out with Yinzuo's free martial arts, but it is not easy to push back the kindness of the old man Fei, Yinzuo smiled slightly and said: "The last general will obey the order." "He led his cavalry squad of dozens to arrange camp.

Whether an army's combat effectiveness is strong or not, some clues can be seen from the arrangement of the camp, Yinzuo's camp naturally has a personal guard to be busy, but he himself is wandering around the camp. The number of the Western Route Army was only 60,000, but the composition was very complicated: there were the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division, the garrison of Datong, the Right Guard, the Green Battalion of Xi'an, and the Mongolian cavalry of Chahar and Khalkha.

Yinzuo wandered around, and found that no matter where the team came from, the camps set up at this time were completely consistent, and the actions of the various armies were very fast, and it didn't take long for fences, antlers, and even watchtowers to be built, and he really admired Fei Yanggu in his heart: Old man Fei is really a famous general, this group of eight masters of Ziqiu has only been under him for two and a half months, and he has been trained so well, it is not easy, if we do it, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up with Old Man Fei's level, we really have to learn more from Old Fei.

After the three-way point is finished, the commanders of the army gather in the tent of the Chinese army, Yinzuo as the sixth elder brother and the deputy marshal of the Western Route Army, naturally he is the first seat under the tent, most of the generals who enter the tent in turn are foreign ministers, I have not seen Yinzuo's face, and I don't know the identity of Yinzuo.

Feiyangu sat down, looked around at the generals, and announced in a loud voice: "The holy car has reached the Krulun River, and countless enemies have been killed along the way. The generals who were originally sitting solemnly were all overjoyed when they heard this, and they all stood up and shouted: "The saint is wise, and he will win all battles." For a while, the crowd in the tent was excited, and Feiyangu waved his hand and said, "The generals will listen to the order." The generals in the tent stood up and promised. Fei Yangu said loudly: "There is a decree from the Holy Father, so that the sixth elder brother Yinzuo will be appointed as the deputy commander of the Western Route Army, and the generals will come forward to salute. Only then did the generals understand that the one who sat first was the famous sixth elder brother Yinzuo, and they hurriedly stepped forward to report to their homes. Yinzuo got up with a smile and returned the salute, and with his superhuman memory, he immediately remembered the names and official titles of the generals, and he also talked and laughed with this group of Qiu Eight Masters, and they became a piece, without raising the shelf of the elder brother or the deputy marshal, but also won the favor of the generals.

Seeing the scene of the handsome generals in the tent, Fei Yanggu secretly sighed in his heart: This sixth elder brother is really good at being a man, he is young, his ability is not small, and he is easy-going, which is really not easy. After the greetings were finished, Feiyangu stood up abruptly and said, "There is a decree in the Holy Order. Immediately the people fell to their knees in unison and listened to the hadith.

"The Holy Authority has ordered that our Western Route Army must arrive at Zhaomodo before May 12."

Yes? As soon as Fei Yanggu's words came out, all the generals in the tent were dumbfounded: It is the second day of the fifth month today, and there are still more than 800 miles away from Zhaomoduo, the road is difficult, and the cavalry is okay to say, but how can the infantry, artillery, and baggage battalion catch up, and now the lack of food and grass is a big trouble, once there is no food and grass in this vast grassland, won't the whole army have to starve to death?
