In mid-June, the Junggar rebellion was quelled, and Dawaqi, Luo Buzangdanjin and others were escorted to the capital to present prisoners.

The soldiers who stayed in Ili took on another important task-building fortresses, hoarding food and grass, and making material preparations for the army to be stationed in Junggar.

Yongjue picked up the shovel and pushed it hard, the head of the shovel sank halfway into the soil, he raised his foot and kicked hard, only halfway in, spit, wiped his hands, and pushed hard, shoveling up the clod of soil to the ground Throwing away...

Then look at Hailancha next to him, as if by divine help, the shovel was swung round, and the wind was blowing, and the pieces of turf were shoveled up and flew far away.

Far eye, this is the gap ╮(╯_╰)╭

Yong Jue's face twitched, he dropped the shovel, sat down on the ground, picked up a piece of grass and bit it in his mouth, if someone who knew him saw that sloppy ruffian's posture, his jaw would drop.

"Brother Wu Zaku, are you tired?" Hai Lancha saw him sit down and asked.

After Yong Jue made sure that there was no contempt in his tone, he twitched his neck and snorted, "I'm done, I'm tired of the endless cycle of digging pits, setting up pilings, setting up tents, picking up horse manure!"

Hailan inspected his swollen palm, patted his chest and said, "Then leave the rest to me."

Yong Jue readily agreed, holding a straw stick in his mouth, and looked around leisurely.

Suddenly seeing a figure in the distance, he sat up straight, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

"Helancha, is that Amursana?" he asked.

The shovel-wielding man knocked carefully, nodded and replied, "That's right, it's General Amursana."

"Hmph, you are an honest person." Yong Jue sneered.

"What do you mean?"

"The reason why Amur Sana surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was because he failed in the struggle with Dawaqi for the Junggar Khan. One was for self-protection, and the other was revenge." Yong Jue had already told Amur Sana at this time. Na had great doubts, and analyzed, "You said, he is really willing to let the Qing Dynasty rule Junggar?"

Hai Lancha put down the shovel, squatted next to Yong Jue, and said with a serious face: "You mean, he pretended to join the Qing Dynasty, defeated Dawaqi with his strength, and then took advantage of our unpreparedness to establish himself as king?"

"Do you think it's impossible?" Yong Jue raised his eyebrows and sneered.

Hai Lancha was silent for a long time: "Do you want to tell the marshal about this?"

"can not say."

Indeed, it cannot be said that if Amursana had the intention of disobedience, his move would be a shock to the enemy. If he made a bold move and caused internal strife in the Qing army, it is likely that the remnants of Dawaqi would take the opportunity to enter; if he was sincere Surrender, this is to question Qianlong's decision...

"It's really a dilemma." Yong Jue sighed.

"How about we keep an eye on him secretly?" Hai Lancha suggested.

Yong Jue glanced at him sideways: "The two of us, a small soldier and a small captain, are going to keep an eye on the side of the left deputy general? You are tired of working!"

"Then what should we do, we can't sit idly by, can we?" Hai Lancha frowned.

"Don't worry, if he has the intention of treason, he will take action these days, either to recruit manpower, or to organize troops, horses, food and grass, and then the garrison will come." Yong Jue lay down with his arms on his pillow, enjoying the sunbathing, relaxed He said, "Besides, how can the marshal not think of things that we can all think of? Shovel the earth with peace of mind, Hai Lancha."

While building the fortress, they cleaned up the remnants of Dawaqi. It was not until the end of August in the 20th year of Qianlong that it was considered complete.

Sure enough, Yongjue and Hailancha's guesses were correct. When Junggar stabilized, Amursana suddenly showed a rebellious heart, gathered a lot of cliques, and wanted to coerce the Qing Dynasty into making him the chief khan of the four tribes of Erut.

The emperor prepared to recall him to dispose of him in the name of "drinking to courtesy".

Amur Sana went to the capital with his wolf ambition.

Yong Jue, however, was still worried and anxious, always feeling that something was about to happen.

"Brother Wu Zaku, what are you still worried about?" Hai Lancha asked him, "Didn't Amursana go to the capital? Isn't it just a matter of the emperor's words to die or live there!"

Yong Jue explained: "The surrendered Amursana has a heart of disobedience, the emperor will definitely become angry, and he was called back to Beijing just to settle accounts after the fall. What if he reacts halfway and directly rebels?"

Hai Lancha rolled her eyes angrily: "Rebelling near the capital? He's not stupid!"

"That's right," Yong Jue nodded thoughtfully, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

But the facts proved that it was not that Yong Jue thought too much, but that he thought too little.

When the group was approaching Rehe, Amursana decided to give it a go. He fled back to Talbahatai under the pretext of temporarily rearranging his armaments, instigated his accomplices to seize the opportunity to rob the Qing army supplies, and then rebelled.

Unfortunately, he moved too fast, and the people who accompanied Amursana back made a mistake in their busy schedule. They only rushed to report to the capital at 800 meters, but forgot that Yili still didn't know anything.

One day, Yong Jue, who had developed a new habit, was lying on the slope, biting a bitter grass stick, enjoying the breeze, the rustling of the grass and trees, the calls of cattle and sheep, and the honking of eagles in the sky. It was a leisurely and peaceful vacation.

Suddenly, he faintly felt that the ground was shaking. Yongjue turned over and sat up. Looking in the direction of the capital, he could see the fuzzy smoke and dust. He climbed to the top of the slope and took a closer look. He was dumbfounded and blurted out a dirty word: "Amur Sana, Are you fucking against it?"

After all, he ran back to the camp.

"Brother Wu Zaku, come quickly." Hai Lancha waved vigorously at him.

"I, I saw thick smoke billowing in the distance on the hillside, is it someone calling?" Yong Jue asked intermittently because his stomach hurt from running.

Hailancha nodded solemnly: "Amursana is rebellious."

Yong Jue's hanging heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and for the first time, he had doubts about himself, could he go home alive?

Not long after he left, Ruoyin found out that she was pregnant, and now it's time to give birth, is it a son or a daughter?

If she really died, would Ruoyin be alone for the rest of her life when she was still so young?

Er Niang loves to cry so much, there is no way to comfort her this time.

Ama has experience in organizing funerals, so he can do well this time too, right?

It's time for Mamo to shut herself in the Small Buddha Hall again...

I heard that the sister-in-law is also pregnant, and he hasn't prepared a meeting gift for the little nephew yet.

My sister doesn't know what's going on, she hasn't seen her since she was married for so many years, she won't cry like Er Niang, right?

and also……

Yong Jue touched his chest, the white jade tablet was terribly hot.

After going on the expedition for so long, he realized that he missed Yun Ting so much, that he was silently by his side, that he was so embarrassing as if he was cooked, and that he missed him...

Stay at Talbaha Terrace, is everything okay?

Has Amursana committed mass murder?

No, no, concentrate, or you will really die!

Yong Jue shook his head vigorously to get rid of distracting thoughts. Hearing the command of the marshal, the sound of galloping horseshoes in the distance became more and more obvious, but he was not nervous at all. The hand holding the knife didn't even break out of sweat, but trembled with excitement.

Either win or die!

However, it is impossible to fight with only [-] elite soldiers like the men gathered with Amursana, not to mention that most of the people who stay in Yili are the old, weak, sick and disabled who need to recuperate. Seeing the brothers who used to talk and laugh together die with no peace in their eyes, they were so angry that their eyes were tearing apart.

"Marshal, if we don't break through the siege, we will be finished! Marshal!" Yong Jue slashed to death the rushing Mongolian soldier, roaring without looking back.

Bandi couldn't bear to glance at the wounded soldiers surrounded by the enemy, with tears in his eyes, and finally, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he ordered: "The queen who is not injured, change the column and break through the encirclement!"

Everyone tried their best to finally break through the encirclement of the enemy army. They fought and retreated. When they came to a slope, they took advantage of the terrain to resist stubbornly. But when they looked around, everyone was defeated. Few of the horses were intact.

Can they really win over the menacing Amursana and others like this?

Although temporarily escaped, the morale suddenly dropped. With the shortage of food and grass, the horses had to be slaughtered to share the food, and the water bladder gradually dried up. Even the commander-in-chief of the army began to waver. Yongjue, Hailan The police, Solari, and a few others with lesser injuries refused to give up, rushing out every day with their lives in hand, snatching the opponent's dry food and water bags, hoping that the enemy army he had killed more could narrow the gap between the two sides and restore the decline.

The winter in Mongolia is very cold, and everyone can only rely on each other to keep warm, and the morale that has finally been built up is low.

And this situation finally broke out after a small soldier couldn't stand the torture of injuries and surrendered.

Although most of the people did not agree to surrender, there were quite a few people who were worried about the surrender. They were afraid that the reinforcements would arrive, they were afraid that they would be settled after victory, and they were afraid that their parents, wives and children would be criticized by others...

Yong Jue believed that if there were no such encumbrances, they would definitely leave without looking back, because he could hardly hold on anymore.

Fear of death, fear of not seeing my family for the last time, fear of my wife and children being bullied in the future...

At night, Yong Jue, who was almost frozen, looked at the warm fire of the enemy army in the distance, and the smell of food wafting in. He silently recited Buddhist scriptures over and over again to calm down his dilemma.

One night, when Yongjue came back from patrol, he was horrified to see Bandi and E Rongan smiling wryly at each other, standing silently in the cold wind, and then, one after the other, they raised the swords in their hands and stuck them to their necks...

Yong Jue lowered his face, stepped forward and knocked down their weapons, and shouted angrily: "You want to die so much? My lord, you're done once and for all, what should we do? We managed to persist until now! Maybe the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow! It's here! Don't you want to take your brothers home with you?"

E Rongan looked at the tent in the distance, and said in a low voice: "The morale of the army is weak, and the morale is low. What's the point of procrastinating?"

"Then what are we?" Yong Jue suddenly laughed angrily, "We hung our heads on our belts and went out to grab dry food, water, and horses. What is it for?"

Bandi's straight back was bent, and his bright eyes disappeared. He shook his head bitterly, with a mournful expression: "Brother Wu Zaku, I know you have worked hard, but I can't let my soldiers die. Surrender my heads, and Amursana will spare them, and this is the last thing I, the Marshal, can do for them."

Yong Jue smiled: "Master E Rong'an thinks so too?"

A trace of unwillingness flashed in E Rong'an's eyes, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"If you want to die, die!" Yong Jue said with a cold face, "I will not surrender, nor will I give up, because I know that my mother, Fujin, and my children are waiting for me to go home. I will never die here!"
