On the seventh day of the April 19th, Zhu Cixuan led his army to Huiyuan City, the leader of the "Nine Cities in Yili".

After the army arrived, the soldiers of the three armies set up camps on the banks of the Yili River. The grassland was covered with wild flowers. There were forty camps, sixty miles in a row, connecting the front and the tail, standing like a mountain, majestic and spectacular.

By the Yili River, a team of ten people from the Ming army was built and a tent was built, wooden walls were dug, and trenches were sprinkled around the camp, and patrol personnel did not hesitate day and night.

That night, the lights in the headquarters of the army in Huiyuan City were brightly lit, and the tent was surprisingly quiet.

Zhu Cilang was carefully scrutinizing the wooden three-dimensional topography in the tent. The generals and ministers stood behind him without saying a word, filled with the tension before the war.

After a long time, Zhu Cilang finally raised his head and said, "Dingyuan Bo, do you know that Ili is the place where our Ming army and the enemy are head-on. You only stay here with 20,000 troops. If you lose, you will be in danger of the entire Western Region!"

Dingyuan Bo Qi Guangyang straightened the rocker and replied loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, I understand, how dare you ignore the military situation here?"

He continued: "For several years, I have built eight acropolis around Yili City, and recently built hundreds of bunkers at the outpost. Even if the entire enemy attacks, our army's 20,000 troops are enough to be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Zhu Ciyang nodded and said, "What's going on with the enemy?"

"The horse Explosion reported that the coalition forces of Tsarist Russia and the Kazakh Khanate were twenty miles away from our army. They surrounded the mountains and rivers, formed camps and camps, and had tight defenses. I organized several night attacks, but all of them were not big."

After more than a month, the two sides fought several battles one after another. Under the command of Qi Guangyang, the Ming army used fraud and sneak attacks to win repeatedly, winning with less and gaining a lot of advantages.

On the flat terrain of the Yili River Valley, the coalition forces lost and suffered heavy losses. The original 150,000 troops were tossed out forty or fifty thousand, and were forced to withdraw back to Shanyaoli and continue to confront the Ming army.

King Zhu Heqi of Han said, "The father personally led a hundred thousand troops to come. It is not to fight the coalition forces to draw, but to destroy them in one fell swoop! Since our army is in position, my son is willing to lead the troops as the vanguard and defeat the enemy's sharp edge!"

Zhu Cilang waved his hand to stop him and said, "Please let the battle aside in advance. In the past few days, I have received some information. In addition to the Tsarist Russian and Kazakh coalition, the Mughal Empire and the Bukhara Khanate troops also heading to the Ili River Valley. What worries me the most is that the three tribes in Mobei are also ready to move, as if they are colluding with Russia..."

Within one month, Zhu Cixuan received secret reports from more than a dozen Jinyiwei intelligence sites, all of which said that there were signs of military mobilization in various countries.

Due to the long journey and the terrain in Central Asia, the information sent was relatively slow.

Zhu Cixuan collected and summarized a lot of information and vaguely guessed the situation of the alliance between several countries.

After hearing this information, the generals were shocked, and Xu Mingwu was even more surprised, thinking that this era has really changed. The trick of several Asian countries to unite and resist the Ming Dynasty has been created. The Ming Dynasty has a strong deterrence. The whole world is going to unite to create the Ming Dynasty!

Now, the situation in the Ming army is not optimistic.

First, the battle situation on the northern front was that the Russian army and the Junggar coalition forces were 100,000 to confront the Yenisei River with the Northern Expedition Army. If the three troops in the northern Mobei participated, they could gather 80,000 people, cut off the supply line of the Northern Expedition Army, and seize their retreat.

If this happens, Zhou Yuji's 50,000 Northern Army will be in danger of attacking front and back, and may be swallowed up by the coalition forces!

In Yili on the Western Front, 100,000 Ming troops faced 150,000 Russian-Kazakhstan coalition forces, and they had more than 100,000 follow-up coalition forces, that is, the Ming troops on the Western Front, and had to face nearly 300,000 coalition attacks.

In this battle, several neighbors of the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money, especially the Kazakh Khanate, who sent more than 100,000 troops, and they really gambled on the national destiny!

However, Zhu Cilang was fearless about this. During the Warring States Period, Qin State still fought against them in the face of the many alliances of the six countries, and they retreated step by step, and then swallowed the six countries in one fell swoop and unified the world!

Today's Ming Dynasty has a stronger national strength than the Qin State in the past, and Zhu Cilang has no reason to be afraid!

At worst, they can defeat them, learn from Genghis Khan's Western Expedition, and do everything to pacify Central Asia!

"Your Majesty, if the three tribes in Mobei really have the intention to rebel, the soldiers of the Northern Army will be in danger. I would like to go north to support Duke Ding!"

The person who spoke was Lu Xiangkun, the Marquis of Suning. After he said this, the generals present who wanted to ask for battle did not know what to say.

Lu Xiangkun, the Marquis of Suning, was punished for forty military sticks because of his loose military discipline. He was very embarrassed. Now he wants to have a good reputation and face.

Zhu Cilang's expression moved and did not immediately reply to Lu Xiangkun.

Seeing that the emperor seemed unwilling, Lu Xiangkun, who had gray hair on his hair, suddenly worshiped and said, "Master, I have never fought again since I quelled the rebellion of King Jin. Although I am old, I still have the desire to serve the country. I am willing to volunteer to your Majesty and make another contribution to the country!"

Zhu Cilang looked at him for a long time and finally said, "Let me do this, I will send you 20,000 troops to go north to reinforce the Northern Army, but the King of Han will join you."

"I will receive the order!"

Lu Xiangkun responded, but he was displeased.

Since ancient times, leading troops to fight wars is the most taboo for people who are older than themselves. The King of Han is the prince. In terms of status, he is many levels higher than his Marquis of Suning. If he arrives in front of the two armies and the young man refuses to obey the orders, will he reject it or dare to kill him?

Alas, I admit it, it would be great if there is a war!

As if he could read the mind, Zhu Cixuan turned around and looked at Zhu Heqi, and said, "King of Han, do you understand if you obey the command of the Marquis of Suning, you should not act beyond your authority?"

"My son obeys the order!" Zhu Heqi was overjoyed and responded quickly.

"Well, okay, this matter is settled!"

Zhu Cixuan said again: "But the war is changing rapidly, so we must adapt to the situation. We can't just look at pictures in the big tent. Dingyuan, you go and prepare. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will go to the front line to see the terrain in person!"

When Qi Guangyang heard this, he was both happy and surprised. What he was happy was that if the emperor could come to the front line in person, it would be of great benefit to boost morale.

What was shocking was that in front of the two armies, the guns were roaring and swords were fighting, the emperor came in person. If there was a mistake, how could he explain it?

Out of his loyalty to the king and the country, Qi Guangyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the so-called coalition forces of several countries are just a group of frogs in the well, and the clown jumping, please sit in the central army. If you cannot destroy them, please ask the emperor to abolish the title and kill the whole family!"

Xu Mingwu was shocked and thought to himself that General Qi was so tough! No wonder his daughter had such a temperament and dared to beat her fiancé in the street!

It turns out that a father is like his son! I am disrespectful!

I heard that the emperor looked unhappy and said, "If you lose this battle, it is not a matter of rescinding your title and killing your whole family. The matter of going to war is temporarily exempted. I will come to the front line in person tomorrow to discuss it!"

After everyone stepped down, the tent fell silent again.

In the tent, milk tea was boiled on the burning charcoal fire, and layers of white foam were shining. Because the King of Han was about to lead a brigade to the north, Zhu Cilang's mood was difficult to calm down for a moment.

After a while, he said to Wu Zhong: "Wu Daban, go and find Ji'er, I have something to say to him."
