The grassland after the heavy rain was muddy, and it was not a good time to marching down. At this moment, a huge army was marching in the mud and water. Whether it was officials or soldiers, they were covered in mud and water, with exhausted expressions on their faces. But they had to trek forward due to their fate, and their morale had already fallen to the extreme. A white-bearded general was surrounded by dozens of cavalry guards and was silently staring at the army in distress. Although his face was calm, his eyes were flashing with anxiety. This veteran was Fei Yanggu, the commander of the Western Route Army.

Fei Yanggu was 49 years old at the time of 49. He was a man of the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria, the younger brother of Emperor Shunzhi's beloved concubine Dong E, and the son of the third-class Bo Eshuo, who participated in the quelling of the Three Feudal Rebellion, made great contributions, and was promoted to the Minister of Guards and was a famous general in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. This time, he led 46,000 Western Army troops from naturalization to fight, and met with General Zhenwu Sun Sike and General Bo Ji of Xi'an, and more than 10,000 green camp soldiers. There were 57,000 people in the entire army. This was this time

The main force that went on the expedition was originally expected to meet with Mr. Kangxi's middle army in Tula in mid-April, but unexpectedly, Galdan implemented a solid wall and cleared the fields. Most of the grasslands along the way were burned by Galdan, so he had to take a detour. The relocation was still more than half a month away from Tula, which led to the unfavorable situation of being alone and going deep into the army. Fei Yanggu's anxiety was really hard to describe. Even if he encountered such a heavy rainy day, he would not stop his march and wished he could arrive at Tula in an instant.

A ranger suddenly rushed from the front of the team to the small hill where Fei Yanggu was, and kept shouting: "Immediately report, urgently report, the envoy has arrived at the front army." Fei Yanggu was worried about the safety of the Holy Detachment, and immediately rode down the mountain and led the personal guards to quickly head towards the front army. When he arrived at the front army, Fei Yanggu was stunned when he saw Yinzuo: Kangxi sent the sixth prince to come, which shows that this matter is of great importance. Could it be that he came to question? The delayed time and delayed the opportunity to fight. This crime was very great, enough to lose his head. Even though Fei Yanggu was known for his calmness, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. While he was puzzled, Yinzuo rode on the horse and shouted: "The emperor's secret edict, Fei Yanggu received the edict."

Fei Yanggu immediately knelt down, took the secret order from Yinzuo with both hands, thanked him for his kindness, and then took a closer look. After a glance, he was ecstatic and ordered loudly: "The whole army stopped, set up camps, and the commanders of each army settled and waited for the dispatch." Fei Yanggu immediately rushed out from behind him and rushed to the army to send orders.

Fei Yanggu had just turned around, and Yinzuo had already dismounted. He knelt on one knee and shouted: "I will be the last Aisin Jueluo; Yinzuo meets Fei Shuai." Fei Yanggu did not dare to receive Yinzuo's great gifts, and hurriedly jumped away: "Sixth Prince, what are you doing? Could it be that you want to die?"

"Report to the commander, there are only generals in the army but no sixth prince. The last general is ordered to come and wait for the order." Yinzuo replied seriously.

Fei Yanggujiu worked in the capital and was familiar with Yinzuo, but he had never had a close relationship with him. He knew that this master was both literary and military, and was the most outstanding among all the princes. In the secret decree, he mentioned that Yinzuo was appointed as the deputy commander of the Western Route Army. Lao Fei was worried that the sixth prince was not easy to control and could not control it. He was in a state of turmoil. Seeing Yinzuo very much on the way, he felt very comforted. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yinzuo up and said, "The sixth prince is here from afar. Please go and rest first, wait for the drum to ring before discussing how to do military affairs?"

Although he had been running around for more than ten days to pass the imperial edict, the body he had achieved through the free martial arts practice could still bear it. However, Mr. Fei was not able to refuse his kindness. Yinzuo smiled slightly and said, "I will obey the order." He led his dozens of cavalry teams to arrange a camp.

The combat effectiveness of an army is strong, and some clues can be seen from the arrangement of the camp. Yinzuo's camp was naturally busy with personal guards, but he wandered around the camp himself. The number of soldiers on the West Road was only 60,000, but the composition was very complicated: the Eight Banners soldiers in the capital, the garrison soldiers in Datong, the Right Guards, the Green Guards in Xi'an, and the Mongolian cavalry in Chahar and Khalkha. These soldiers came from different sources, had different backgrounds, and had different original ranks, and their living habits were very different. It was really difficult to integrate such a mess of people into a combat-capable team.

Yinzuo wandered around and found that no matter where the team came from, the camps established were completely consistent at this time, and the movements of each army were very fast. Not long after, the fences, antlers, and even the lookout building were built. He really admired Fei Yanggu: Old Man Fei is really a famous general. The eighth Mr. Ziqiu has only been under his command for only two and a half months, and it is not easy to train him like this. If we were to do it, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep up with Old Man Fei's level. We really had to learn more from Old Fei.

After the three-way generals were finished, the commanders of the army gathered in the central army tent. Yinzuo, as the sixth prince and the deputy commander of the Western Route Army, naturally sat in the first seat under the tent. Most of the generals who entered the tent were foreign ministers. They had never seen Yinzuo, and they did not know Yinzuo's identity. When they saw a young young man who had not yet grown up, they felt a little confused and more dissatisfied. However, Fei Yanggu was extremely strict in his army. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to express anything. He would each sit according to his official title and his title.

Fei Yanggu sat down high, looked around the generals, and announced loudly: "The Holy Lord has arrived at the Kruren River, and countless enemies have been killed along the way." The generals who were originally sitting solemnly all looked happy when they heard this, and each stood up and shouted: "The Holy Lord is wise and wins every battle." For a moment, the crowd of emotions in the tent were very excited, and Fei Yanggu waved his hand and said: "The Generals obey the order." The generals in the tent each stood up to fulfill their promises. Fei Yanggu shouted: "The Emperor has an order to order the Sixth Prince Yinzuo to be appointed.

The position of deputy commander of the Western Route Army, the generals came forward to greet him." Then the generals realized that the first person was the famous sixth prince Yinzuo, and they rushed forward to report the greetings. Yinzuo stood up with a smile and immediately remembered the names and titles of the generals with his superhuman memory. He also talked and laughed with these eight men of Qiu, and they got together, without any airs of the prince or the deputy commander, and had won the favor of the generals.

Seeing the scene of a general in the tent, Fei Yanggu sighed in his heart: This sixth prince is really good at being a human being. He is young, has great ability, and is easy-going. After the greetings of the generals, Fei Yanggu suddenly stood up and said, "The Lord has an order." The generals immediately knelt down on the ground and listened to the holy teachings.

"The Lord has an order that our Western Army must arrive at Zhaomodo before May 12th."

Ah? As soon as Fei Yanggu said this, all the generals in the tent were stunned: It was the second day of the fifth month, and there was more than 800 miles away from Zhaomodo. The road was difficult, and the cavalry was okay, but how could infantry, artillery, and supplies be able to get it? At the moment, the food and grass are not enough, but it is a big trouble. Once there is no food and grass on this vast grassland, wouldn’t the entire army starve to death?
