Chapter 857 The war is imminent! Ask for a monthly ticket!)
Mu Tianbo's mood could not calm down after returning to the mansion for a long time.
He has retreated to the second line and has not led his troops for many years.
Or even if he leads troops the most frequently, he will act as the head coach at most, and there are still elite soldiers and generals under him.
Mu Tianbo relied on his identity as Duke of Qian to boost morale and give the soldiers as much hope as possible.
His Majesty the Emperor still understands him. This time, he was asked to suppress the rebellion of Yunnan chieftains and sent him two powerful generals, Zhao Xu and Li Shitou.
These two are both confidants of His Majesty the Emperor and the absolute leader of the imperial guards.
Mu Tianbo naturally had no other ideas, but His Majesty the Emperor's move was equivalent to expressing his opinion.
His Majesty the Emperor trusts him and hopes that he can stand up and take charge of the overall situation in this rebellion. Mu Tianbo naturally cannot disappoint His Majesty the Emperor.
In fact, Mu Tianbo knew very well how to deal with the current situation.
All he needs is to arrive in Yunnan as soon as possible.
Without further ado, you can start to quell the rebellion one day as soon as possible.
Mu Tianbo discussed with the two and decided to set off three days later.
The reason why we did not set out immediately was that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War also prepared food and grass and other matters.
It takes three days to prepare all the matters.
Mu Tianbo knew this in his mind.
He thought he would have to survive like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that the emperor would still think of him at the critical moment.
This is really not easy. If a soldier dies for his confidant, Mu Tianbo must not let the emperor down.

The Ming army's layout in the Western Regions was becoming more and more comprehensive, and no changes occurred due to Galdan's episode.
As for the Junggar, Sengge gave up his last fantasy after learning that Galdan had been escorted to the capital by the Ming army.
He wanted to avenge Galdan and establish his authority for Junggar. Therefore, there must be a battle between the Ming Dynasty and Junggar.
The key is how to fight this battle and what it looks like.
There is no doubt that Li Dingguo is a god of war. Even if Sengge doesn't want to admit it, there is no way.
So Sengge decided to do something about the details.
For example, when attacking, they should divide the troops into several groups to confuse the opponent, so that Li Dingguo did not know where his main attack direction was.
As long as Li Dingguo does not know this, he will not be able to make targeted arrangements.
In this way, his most elite personal army stopped half of the food.
As long as Li Dingguo's personal army bumps around like headless flies, the Junggar soldiers have a greater chance of winning.
Sengge is a very pragmatic person. He knows very well that if Junggar wants to win, he must take advantage of it. If he just acts recklessly, he will not have any substantial effect.
So he had a very detailed discussion with Batumur and perfected the details of the battle to the extreme.
To successfully defeat the Ming army, every detail must be paid attention to, and there must be no slightest carelessness.
Batumur suggested that Sengge send an army as bait, and the main force suddenly emerge from the other direction.
In this way, the distribution of the Ming army's troops would definitely have major problems when they were lured away from the mountain, so Junggar used this time difference to capture the main force of the Ming army.
This move is actually an improved version of Galdan's previous inducing the enemy to further.
But the troops invested far more than before Galdan.
In this way, Junggar would have devoted all his strength to fight against the Ming army.
It’s fine to win, but if you fail, the consequences will be a disaster for the destruction of the country.
Of course, Sengge was mentally prepared, but he did not hesitate at all.
The reason is actually very simple. The Ming army will definitely hold the Western Regions firmly in their hands.
Either choose to be a dog for the Ming army, or defeat the Ming army.
Of course, Sengge chose the latter.
And Sengge is also an ambitious person.
If he doesn't understand the principle of one's rise and the other's rise.
As long as the Ming army was repelled and driven away, the entire Western Regions would belong to the Junggar.
By then, he would have established an unprecedentedly powerful Khanate, and his deeds would definitely be passed down in history.
This bet is not a loss.
Sengge knew very well that there were many elite soldiers and powerful generals around Li Dingguo, and he suffered a loss in this regard.
Therefore, the strength of the Ming army must be divided.
The discord plan has been used and the effect is not ideal, so Sengge also gave up this choice and fully supported Batumur's strategy of dividing troops.
In fact, if this strategy can be implemented well, the effect will not be much worse.
It's nothing more than who led the troops to attract the attention of the Ming army.
Sengge has two subordinates who are very trustworthy.
One is called Gezmu and the other is called Narni.
Gezmu is his playmate who has been playing with Sengge since childhood, while Narni is his cousin.
Both of them led a considerable number of troops.
After formulating the plan, Sengge immediately summoned the two to discuss the specific details.
After the two of them paid homage to Sengge, Sengge waved his hands to signal the two to sit down.
Afterwards, he took a deep breath and said, "Ben Khan asked you to come today to discuss how to deal with the Ming army. There must be a battle between us Galdan and the Ming army. Ben Khan thought that instead of waiting for the Ming army to attack us, we might as well take the initiative. In this way, we can at least have a certain advantage and not be controlled by others everywhere."
"The Khan is wise."
Gezmu and Narci clasped their fists together.
"Today I want to assign your mission and set up the marching route."
In fact, Sengge is more inclined to put Gezmu on the western front.
Because the terrain on the Western Front is more complex, the generals are required to have stronger ability to deal with changes.
In this regard, Gezmu's ability is obviously better.
As for Narzi, he is braver and suitable for fighting straightforward battles.
There are not many talents in the Junggar field, so naturally people need to make the best use of them and there is no waste in the slightest.
"Gezmu, Ben Khan ordered you to go to the Western Front. There are swamps and grasslands and bushes there, so you must be careful. It doesn't matter if you can't defeat the Ming army, but you must play a role in making things happen. You must never let the Ming army realize our true intentions. It is naturally the best if you can get into a fight."
Speaking of this, the meaning of Sengge cannot be expressed more clearly.
Gezmu was also a smart person. He immediately hugged and said, "Don't worry, Khan, I will do my best to complete the task."
Sengge nodded with satisfaction.
"No, very good. Ben Khan is optimistic about you."
He patted Gezmu's shoulder and then turned to Narzi on one side.
"As for you, Narzi..."
He paused, thought for a moment and said loudly: "You will lead your troops to the East Line."
"The terrain on the eastern front is very single, it is the plains and grasslands. But the number of Ming troops stationed will be more. Ben Khan thinks you are more competent for frontal combat. You know your brave Ben Khan, but Ben Khan has one thing to say before, so don't fight in a strait. Whenever you encounter a Ming army's pursuit, you should get rid of it. Remember your purpose is to buy time for Ben Khan."
