    "Master Chen, come and wipe your face!" Chen Zaixing, who had just woken up, saw a steaming handkerchief. He stretched out his hand to take it and found that the person handed it was Gao Tingyu. He quickly cupped his hand and said: "I'm sorry!  "Okay, okay, wipe your face first!" Gao Tingyu waved his hand, took a hand towel and wiped his face, and asked in a deep voice to the officer below: "You just said you met a rebel by the river.  The thief's cavalry?" The officer kneeling on the ground had dust on his face, and there were faint traces of blood on his woolen coat. He looked like he had just returned from the battlefield. Hearing the commander's question, he replied loudly: "That's right.  The Tatars were all cavalry, with about three hundred horses. After seeing the villain's cavalry, they came up to attack them. Fortunately, the villain captured the high ground first and dismounted to resist.  After charging twice, they retreated after more than a dozen people were killed. "How many soldiers did you have under your command?" "You have forty cavalry and sixty horsemen under your command!" "Well, you should retreat and rest first!"  Come on!" Gao Tingyu waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat. After he retreated, he turned to Chen Zaixing and asked, "Master Chen, what do you think?" "Commander!" Chen Zaixing tried his best to suppress his sleepiness.  The calm voice replied: "These are the sentries of the rebels. Next, the rebels will either retreat or launch a massive attack!" "Master Chen!" Gao Tingyu smiled: "You know why I have been treating you these days?  Dragging you around and not letting you go for a moment?" Chen Zaixing was stunned: "I don't know!" "I just want to see if you can still make a correct judgment in an extremely exhausted state!  ." When Gao Tingyu said this, a narrow smile appeared on his face: "Although I was right!" "The commander-in-chief really saw it!" Chen Zaixing had an embarrassed smile on his face. He was extremely exhausted just now and his whole head was dizzy.  Shen Chen simply relied on his feelings. Anyway, he was just a supervisor, and it was Gao Tingyu who made the final decision.  "Master Chen, this is not because I'm teasing you. It's just that a person who is above ten thousand people must not only have rich knowledge and amazing wisdom, but also extraordinary energy. You have both knowledge and brains. As long as you are good at it,  Do it, within ten years, one of the seats in the political hall will be yours!" At this point, Gao Tingyu had a kind smile on his face.  "Commander!" Chen Zaixing's face heated up. Although all he has been seeking over the years is money, deep down in his heart he still yearns for the highest goal of Confucian scholars for thousands of years.  As the emperor's teacher, he manages the affairs of the world!  Except for a very small number of people who were born in Tianjia, every Chinese has such a dream deep in his heart!  "Actually, no matter what Chelin Dorji chooses, it has little to do with victory or defeat!" Gao Tingyu said solemnly: "As soon as I got the news of the change in Culun, I ordered the Solon Cavalry and Oroqen of the Manchurian Protectorate to  The cavalry was mobilized. Xue Ruowang had been there for more than ten years and was familiar with the post route from Hailar to Kulun. Counting now, the Sauron cavalry and Oroqen cavalry led by Xue Ruowang had already set off and returned.  The division will definitely be much slower than the march. Even if we return today, we will not be able to make it in time. It is spring, and the horses on the grassland are thin. Once the battle is defeated, the Tatars will not be able to run!" Gao Tingyu's voice became louder and louder.  It gets smaller and smaller, and in the end it's no bigger than a whisper.  Chen Zaixing resisted his sleepiness and leaned over to listen carefully. Suddenly there was a snoring sound in his ears. He looked up in surprise and found that Gao Tingyu had fallen asleep leaning on the chair.  "It turns out you can't hold it anymore!" Chen Zaixing shook his head dumbfounded. He stood up, took his robe, gently covered Gao Tingyu, staggered out of the tent, and beat the guard.  After saying hello, he went back to his tent to sleep.  The losses caused by this outpost battle to both sides can be said to be minimal, but the leader of the rebel cavalry brought wrong information to Chelin Dorji, that is, Gao Tingyu's power was strong enough to block the river bank, so  Before the enemy is strong enough to attack you, it is a good choice to leave Eren and return to your hometown.  After all, this expedition has achieved part of the purpose for Chelindorji - the soldiers under his command have obtained rich plunder, and the price paid is very low, which will greatly improve Chelindorji's four divisions in Outer Mongolia.  His reputation in the country was of great help to his great cause.  But there was one person among the rebels who was very angry about Chelindorzi's decision, and that was Major Sharif.  His anger was not without reason. He did not come here to help a barbaric Tatar chief establish a country. The real purpose of his trip was to consume the strength of the army and obtain information about the enemy. His Majesty the Tsar wanted to  The rebellion has already paid 850,000 rubles in aid, so it will get a bigger return.  But this cowardly Tatar actually retreated without a fight.  If not, you still need the other person.?More was done in the following actions. Sharif had already opened Chelindorzi's head with one shot.  "Dear Major Sharif! Why do you look unhappy!" Chelindorzi asked with a smile: "Is it because my men did not treat you well? Tell me! Whatever you want, as long as it is  You can ask for everything Chelin Dorji has except my daughter!¡± ¡°No!¡± Sharif tried his best to control his disgust: ¡°I¡¯m just worried about the coming war. You see, this time you  After the army retreated, the Chinese have taken control of Eren, and they will definitely cross the desert to attack Kulun!" "Major Sharif!" A reserved smile appeared on Chelin Dorji's face: "You don't know the grassland yet!  ! It is already April, the old grass on the grassland has died, and the new grass has not grown. In the haste of the Han people, they are afraid of losing countless people and animals. If there is no horse on the grassland, it is equivalent to losing their legs.  No matter how hard Gao Tingyu can fight, what¡¯s so scary if he doesn¡¯t have his legs?¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it damage your prestige if the troops returned without success?¡± ¡°Sharif, whoever went south with me this time didn¡¯t get rich because of it?¡±  Getting rich? Why did it come to nothing? I didn¡¯t ask for a single slave or a single livestock, but I gave them all to the warriors. When the flag is raised again in the fall, all the warriors on the grassland will come to me.  "Under the banner!" "Wait until autumn?" "Yes, when the horses and grass grow, my army will cross the desert to the west. There are countless cotton estates over there. Before that, I hope your country can buy it on credit.  Give me a batch of artillery, which is necessary to attack the manor!" "Shameless Tatars!" Sharif said inwardly, but he still replied on the surface: "I will convey your wishes to the Governor!" "Very good!  !" Chelin Dorji made a gesture, and the maid on the side presented a golden cup to Sharif: "Major Sharif, please toast to our cooperation in the autumn expedition!" "Cheers! Erren, the south gate is open,  The fortress converted from the market outside the door has been demolished to create a road, and even the road has been temporarily re-paved with loess. Cao Da, the guardian of Zhangbei Protectorate, stood in the biting cold wind with his head bare, even though it had been blown  His face was ashen and he didn't dare to move at all, standing as straight as an iron nail.  More than ten war horses came over slowly. Cao Da took two steps forward and bowed to the leader: "I am humble enough to pay homage to the commander-in-chief!" "Master Cao, no courtesy!" Gao Tingyu did not get off the horse: "I won't.  Entering the city! Please check the food and military supplies in the city first. The army will set out tonight to pursue the traitor Chelin Dorji! ""Commander!" Cao Da was shocked when he heard this.  The new grass has not yet grown, and if the army wants to cross the desert and everything is not ready yet, why not wait here for a few months until the grass and trees are luxuriant and the army gathers before crossing the desert? " Gao Tingyu sat on the horse and said quietly!  He said: "I have my own idea. You should quickly count the grain, fodder and military supplies, and collect all the livestock and vehicles in the city. After I leave, you can stay in Eren, reorganize various troops, and send them one after another. Do you understand?" Cao Da heard this.  , already knew that Gao Tingyu had made up his mind, so he had to bow and said: "Commander, please wait a moment, I will send someone to find the treasurer immediately and report them one by one!" Gao Tingyu nodded, closed his eyes, and after a while, the treasurer  The official came and reported to Gao Tingyu item by item with the book. After listening, Gao Tingyu's face looked better: "It's built!" He shouted Cao Da's words, "You kept Eren's granary intact, this time it's peaceful  Even if I have made a contribution to the rebellion, I will write it down in the report to the court when I return!" "Thank you, Marshal!" Cao Da quickly bowed to express his thanks, and then he raised his head and said solemnly: "Che Lin.  Dorji gathered a crowd to rebel. He was the chief official of the Zhangbei Protectorate. He was not allowed to warn him in advance and did not send troops to suppress him afterwards. His crime was not small. It was lucky that the court did not punish him. How could he dare to take credit for it? It was just the commander-in-chief.  In the past few years, the tribe has taken in escaped slaves, intermarried with other noble chiefs, and colluded with foreign barbarians. Once it breaks out, it will become very powerful. Marshal, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and the safety of northern Xinjiang is at stake. How can you risk it all?  You stay in Eren and let your subordinates lead the troops across the vast sea to pursue the slave chief!" Hearing Cao Da's words, Gao Tingyu's eyes flashed, he turned over his horse and reached out to help Cao Da: "Master Cao, this is the car!  The Lin Duoerji uprising has been extremely involved since then. The Russian and Yi people have been eyeing me in the Northern Territory of Dashun for a long time. This incident will definitely have the shadow of the Russian and Yi people in the future. My purpose of sending troops this time is to quickly put an end to the rebellion.  , to shock the Russian barbarians. Your method is safe, but the time is too long, we can't delay it!" At this point, Gao Tingyu stroked his beard: "As for personal gains and losses, Gao is a member of the imperial family.  I have been greatly favored, and now it is time to repay the favor!¡± Gao Tingyu?After what he said, Cao Da and several people behind him heard clearly and were very moved in their hearts. They all thought that this person, as a kinsman, had handed over nearly 40% of the world's army to his hands when the late emperor died.  In the past few years, his achievements have been high in the world, but his superiors have not been able to do so. His position is extremely popular and his ministers have no slander in the world. It is indeed extraordinary.  After all, Gao Tingyu was over fifty. After giving the instructions, he felt sleepy and exhausted, so he went to rest in the camel sedan. The conquest army, like a tidal wave, headed north along the post road next to Eren.
