Chapter 656

Hearing that Yuzhu took office as General Anyuan, Tong Guowei ordered someone to pass on the afternoon of the same day, and he wanted to see Yuzhu and Longkodo.

After the ancestor spoke, Longkodo and Yuzhu did not dare to neglect, so they simply went to accompany the old man and had dinner together.????

Seeing that his son and grandson were coming so quickly, Tong Guowei was very satisfied and immediately gave orders to hold a meal.

The wine and food have been prepared long ago, all of which are Yuzhu’s favorite delicacies. Among them, the most rare thing is that the old man actually invited a foreign missionary to distil two bottles of white wine for Yuzhu.

Tong Guowei didn’t know how much the liquor was. However, when drinking, he had a hot voice.

During the meal, Tong Guowei glanced at Longkodo and said, "Third brother, you must warn Zhu'er that you must not advance rashly if you want to take credit."

Tong Guowei recognized Yuzhu as his grandson, and Longkodo was very satisfied, so he naturally would not contradict the old man again.

"Ama, you are right. My son has taught Zhu'er a lesson. Let him advance carefully and never have the intention to seize the merits."

Tong Guowei nodded and sighed, "Zhu'er, your uncle, my brother Tong Guogang, was ambushed by the Junggar people because of his light army. After a long period of time, he died of his life when he broke through the siege."

"The Junggars were as cunning as the Xixia people back then. They would never fight you when you had too much food." Tong Guowei was really worried, so he was afraid that Yu Zhu would be ambushed with great greed for merit.

"Zhu'er, if you make a mistake, who can I rely on to support my family in the future?" Tong Guowei told him very seriously, "If there is any, well, I'm saying that if you want, just leave first. There is an old saying among the Han people: If you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of burning firewood, do you understand?"

When Yu Zhu heard this, Tong Guowei was obviously really concerned about his safety. Even after his defeat, he even said something about running for his life in advance.

"Mafa, don't worry. If I have food, I will advance, and if I don't have food, I will return. I will never be greedy for merit and fight." Yuzhu stood up and said extremely sincerely.

Tong Guowei nodded, sighed heavily, and said, "The country is here today. You are the pillar of my old Tong family. Remember, remember!"

This involves the problem of the country and the small family.

Tong Guowei saw it very clearly. The old emperor wanted to expand his territory. The old Tong family's position was to help him if he could, and he could not help him or force him.

If Yu Zhu lost his life in Hami, no matter how large the territory of the Qing Dynasty was, the old Tong family had already declined. What would be the benefit?

All three people here are very sensible.

The old emperor gave Yu Zhu a glamorous title, but it was the matter of the commander-in-chief, and none of the three of them said anything.

Three days later, it is the auspicious day of the zodiac.

In front of the Meridian Gate, Yuzhu knelt down and received General An Yuan's seal, military talismans and the White Rainbow Sword given by the emperor.

Because he was sending troops outside, many Manchurian bannermen knew Cao Yi. Therefore, the old emperor agreed to Yuzhu and allowed him to take Qian Yinglan and Liu Taiqing to serve on the road.

When he left Beijing again, Yuzhu was beside him, in addition to the three thousand new troops he had built, there were also the eight banner elites of the three thousand firearm battalions.

After Yuzhu brought his troops back to Xi'an, Nian Gengyao had already led 50,000 elite Green Camp soldiers to Xining.

However, Yuzhu did not follow the ordinary road, and he had already reported that the old emperor would not go to Gansu to Hami, but went north to Ulya Sutai area, turn to the Hutus Pass, and then go south to the hinterland of the Junggar people.

The biggest problem in the Northwest region is not the shortage of troops, but the lack of food and food.

Yuzhu led 30,000 people to the Ulya Sutai area and went westward. He could use tea bricks, salt, cotton cloth and silk to exchange for cattle and sheep raised by the Mongolians along the way.

As we all know, as long as there is a lot of meat in the vegetables and a lot of oil and water, it is impossible to consume so much food anymore.

A truck of salt or a truck of tea bricks can be exchanged for many cows and sheep, and what is saved is extremely precious food!

More importantly, the Junggars had long been prepared for the Qing army's expedition to the west, and there were many eyeliners all the way from Xi'an to Gansu.

Yuzhu led his army around Gansu, and the Junggars couldn't figure out what he was doing.

After the army set out north, Yuzhu still followed the old method and recruited Mongolian warriors with tea, salt and other items along the way.

Last time, when Yuzhu took down the Hutus Pass, the Mongolians along the way had already tasted great sweetness.

This time, I heard that Yuzhu was going to attack the Junggar people again. Good guy, many of the Mongolians who signed up for the robbery were squeezed out.

Yuzhu was responsible for the task of restraint, so along the way, he was not in a hurry, stopping and stopping.

When they met Celing, the head of Ulya Sutai, Yuzhu had already followed more than 8,000 Mongolian cavalrymen.

After the army entered the Hutus Fortress, the quarantine officers thoroughly counted the grain stock, which made Yuzhu very satisfied.

The food brought from Xi'an was consumed only one-twentieth along the way.

On the contrary, there are more than 100,000 more cows and sheep.

This is mainly because during the march, you can always change to cows and sheep.

In this way, the army's food was full of oil and water, so the food was naturally consumed very little.

To put it bluntly, what Yuzhu does is no different from Dashengkui.

However, the jade pillar belongs to the category of armed escort.

The commodities sold to the prairie by Dashengkui are mainly tea bricks, salt, cotton cloth and silk.

After resting for three days at the Hutus Pass, in Ce Ling's envious eyes, Yuzhu, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, left the Tianshan Mountains and entered the Junggar Basin.

However, after the Qing army entered the hinterland south of the Tianshan Mountains, they did not see a single Junggar man along the way.

A series of words appeared in Yuzhu's mind: Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, lure the enemy into depth, and cut off the food channel!

The Junggars belong to a branch of Weilat Mongolia. Their living habits are still to live with water and plants, and they do not build cities at all.

Without building a city, the Qing army would not have a focus on attack, which was very suitable for tactics of luring the enemy into depth and then cutting off the food route.

But who is Yuzhu?

Yuzhu is not an ordinary person. He knows more than everyone in the Qing Dynasty that the essence of the Junggar Khanate is two large areas: one is the oasis in the Junggar Basin, and the other is the oasis area in the Tarim Basin.

Therefore, after Yuzhu led his troops to the ancient city ruins in Luntai County, he stopped moving.

During the Tang Dynasty, Luntai County was later Dihua City and now Urumqi.

Unlike what the Junggars imagined, Yuzhu's team was accompanied by a large number of cattle and sheep.

After occupying the oasis, the Mongolians who came with the jade pillar simply put cattle and sheep on the fertile grassland.

If the Junggars really dare to come, Yuzhu would dare to let them see and experience the great power of the three types of infantry, cavalry and cannon combat.
