In mid-April of the 35th year of the Kangxi reign, the Qing Zhonglu Army, which captured Tula, did not continue to move forward, but stationed in Tula. In addition to being exhausted and urgently needed rest due to the 800-mile desert, the army was exhausted and urgently needed to rest, and more importantly, the Feiyanggu troops of the Western Army, who were scheduled to arrive within a few days, came to meet. Unexpectedly, two bad news came one after another - the Western Army had to take a detour because most of the grasslands along the way were burned by Galdan, so the march speed could not keep up with the Central Army, and it would take mid-May to arrive at Tula at the earliest. The Eastern Army was also unable to reach the predetermined location due to the high mountains and high roads, which formed an unfavorable situation for the Central Army to advance alone.

At this time, the Qing army and Galdan's army were basically the same as those of Galdan, but Galdan was full of cavalry, while the Qing army had only 15,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. Galdan was waiting for his leisure, and the Qing army was raiding for a long distance. The battlefield situation was extremely unfavorable to the Qing army. How to make a decision? The soldiers and the ministers of the army were discussing each other, and their opinions could not be unified. Mr. Kangxi was also a little undecided and had to hold a military meeting in Tula to decide what to do next.

The Minister of the Inner Guard, the First Class Duke Tong Guowei, as the highest official in the army, stood up and said: "Emperor, our army is alone, and the enemy is waiting for labor, and the war is not favorable. I beg the Emperor to station here for the time being, waiting for Fei Yanggu's army to come and then fight against the thieves."

"No!" The former commander of the army Tu Hai stood up: "Your Majesty, our army has few cavalry but many infantry, and its mobility is not good. If we are stationed here, if the news leaks, if the thief takes advantage of the situation and cut off our food route, our army will inevitably be in a passive situation. I think it is better for the emperor to lead the rear army to retreat first, so I voluntarily lead the front army to fight the thief."

"Not appropriate!" Lun Xi, deputy general of the Central Army, shouted: "Although General Tu is brave, our cavalry has few soldiers. If the entire army attacks, they dare not easily win. It is even more impossible to rely on the front army alone. It is only a loss of troops. I believe that the entire army will retreat one after another to wait for the next year to ensure no safety."

The eldest prince also stood up and said, "The Emperor Ama is a body of 1000 gold, so he should not take any risks. My son thought it was difficult to fight the thief this time, so he asked the Emperor Ama to think twice. My son voluntarily serve as a defender to cover the army's retreat."

The ministers were talking about it, and generally they were about withdrawing troops. Even if someone suggested continuing to fight, they insisted that Kangxi must evacuate first to ensure safety. Mr. Kangxi frowned, his eyes were always staring at the large map spread on the table without saying a word. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Mingzhu, what do you think of the marching chief?"

Since Mingzhu has been a senior minister, although she has been favored by Kangxi, her power has long been much worse than before. She has become much lower-key and has rarely spoken in public. She was appointed as the general manager of the march this time and was responsible for the logistics of the entire army. At least there has never been any mistakes in the supply of food and water. He originally did not intend to speak in military meetings like this, but when the old man asked, he could not refuse to answer, so he had to step forward and said, "I think all the great masters are right, so I ask the emperor to take care of the dragon body and not to hurry up to fight against the thief."

"Well." Kangxi responded without comment, then looked at Yinzuo who had been silent and asked, "Xiao Liuer, what do you think?"

Hey, it's finally time for our performance. It's not in vain that we have done so much homework before. This map alone has been broken several. Hey, the court's political discussion is easy to offend people, and it may also provoke the old man's suspicion. If we don't speak, there will be no military performance, and the Holy Family will be dangerous. Ha, seeing us have a big show. Yinzuo felt happy, but his face was very calm, and he said loudly: "Return to the emperor's words, I think my middle army cannot retreat at this time, and the bandits don't know me.

The army has crossed the natural danger of the desert, and does not know the reality of our army. Whether our army is forging defenses here or retreating, over time, the bandits will know the movements of our army. Once this happens, if our army is stationed, the enemy can cut off our food route and trap our army in an unfavorable way. If our army withdraws at this moment, the Western Army will have a poor food route. Once it is attacked by the enemy, it will probably be the result of losing troops and losing generals. Based on the above, my son believes that our army not only cannot retreat, but also has to march forward quickly and catch the bandits off guard."

"Nonsense! Xiao Liu wants to capture Emperor Ama in a disadvantage, so he should be killed." The eldest prince jumped out to object.

Mr. Kangxi ignored the eldest prince and stared at Yinzuo with his eyes and said, "Tell me how to fight this battle in detail?"

"Yes." Yinzuo walked to the map and pointed to the various strategies on the map and said: "First, the military strategy says: The war is a trick. It is obvious that our army is in the dark and the enemy is in the bright. There is no way to know the reality of our army. Our army can bluff and pretend to be a 100,000 army. Every time we go to a place, we set up more camps to confuse the enemy. Second, the thief chief Gerdan is currently in Bayanwulan, with most of its cavalry scattered, with only more than 20,000 people around us. If our army's troops are very fast, we will send troops directly to the North Mengnalan Mountain, the enemy will not be able to concentrate all our efforts to fight. Our army's strength must be better than the enemy, and even if we fight head-on, it will be great.

There is a chance of victory. Third, the enemy was defeated by our army, but in the morale of the army, our army was afraid of our army. Now our army was unpredictable and attacked them unprepared. In the panic, the bandits could only escape and go all the way. Fourth, Sun Tzu said: "Overrounding three gulfs and one gulf, now our Eastern Army has blocked the escape route east of the North Mengnalan Mountain. If our army spreads its troops to the north and south to make an encirclement and annihilation, the bandits would definitely not be able to find out the reality of the enemy in the panic. Only by fleeing westward, our army took the opportunity to cover and kill, and would definitely hurt most of its troops. Our Western Army could just wait for the effort to set up an ambush on the way to escape the enemy."

After hearing Yinzuo's words, Kangxi did not immediately make a statement. He paced back and forth in the tent. All the ministers were calm and did not dare to interrupt Kangxi's thoughts. The tent fell silent for a moment.

"In your opinion, where should Fei Yanggu set up an ambush?" Kangxi suddenly asked another question.

Yinzuo looked at the map carefully and pointed at Zhao Moduo in the upper reaches of the Tula River and said, "It's right here, Zhao Moduo. This place is a small hill covered with dense forests, surrounded by rivers on three sides. It is the ideal terrain for setting up an ambush. When the Ming Chengzu defeated the Mongolian army, he set up an ambush here."

"Hmm?" Old Master Kangxi immediately bent down and stared at Zhao Moduo with his eyes. After a long time, he laughed and said, "Okay! It's Zhao Moduo. If this battle is successful, you should get rid of the big troubles."

Kangxi suddenly stood up straight and began to order: "Tuhai."

"I am here." Tu Hai took off with great enthusiasm.

"You immediately lead the front army to attack from Erdenitoluohai, and arrive at the North Mengnalan Mountain before May 8. There are many camps along the way, claiming to be a 40,000 army."

"My minister, follow the order." Tu Hai took the order and immediately went out to camp to prepare.

"Pearl."

"I am here."

"The food and grass transport of Feiyang Gu's troops on the West Road is difficult. You can first leave half of the food and grass in the Chinese army here and transfer it to the West Road."

"Yes, I will do it now." Mingzhu also took the order and left.

"All the generals obeyed the orders and followed me to go to the expedition, and their troops were sent to the North Mengnalan Mountain."

The generals responded to the promise. Yinzuo stood up again and said, "Emperor, I am willing to go to the west to pass the secret order."

"Hmm?" Old Master Kangxi frowned and said, "The battlefield is dangerous, you should follow me."

There is no war with you? We have been waiting for so many years, just to get back the war, and how can we miss a big show of beating a dog? Yinzuo shouted: "Emperor, since this plan is made by my son, I am willing to go to the west to assist Mr. Fei."
