Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 773 The Most Insidious Knife Always Comes from Behind

When Zhu Di drove his own expedition, Timur's right-hand army had already arrived in Mongolia.

Mongolian Stein is a part of Bilisbali, starting from the Altai Mountains in the east, reaching the desert east of the Talas River in the west, bordering on the line from Tarbahatai Mountain to Lake Balgosh in the north, and reaching the Tianshan Mountains in the south. The pastures in the valley are rich in water and grass, which is a suitable place for nomadic herding.The Eastern Chahatai Khanate had previously established its capital in Bieshabali at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, using this as its core to control the tribes of Mongolia.

After the Yuan Dynasty was defeated in the Central Plains, it lost control of the Western Regions. The Mongols at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains gradually merged with the Uighurs, and the Mongols at the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains also merged with local ethnic groups and tribes, forming modern Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kirgiz and other ethnic groups. .Right now, this place is occupied by three forces. The western region is basically surrendered to Timur, the northern region belongs to the sphere of influence of Oara, and the eastern region surrenders to Daming.

Timur's right-hand army started from Tashkent, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and advanced to the Ili River. In late February, when the weather turned slightly warmer, they entered Bishali and arrived at Hamiwei, an important military town on the western border of the Ming Empire. Eight hundred miles away.At this time, Xia Xun set off from Dunhuang and was also advancing towards Hami. Xia Xun had just traveled more than three hundred miles, and the distance from Hami was also about eight hundred miles.

The commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army of Timur's Eastern Expedition was Hari Sultan, who was the grandson of Timur and the eldest son of Timur's third son.Timur had four sons. The eldest son and the second son died young. The third and fourth sons are still alive, but the third son has always been in poor health. During this expedition, he stayed in Samarkand. Timur’s son Now only the fourth son is still active in the army, and at the moment he is the head coach of the Left Army.

However, Timur has many grandsons, many outstanding and excellent grandsons that he is proud of, and Hari Sultan is one of them.

Harry Sultan was just over 20 years old, young, strong, and full of heroism. After he arrived in Mongolia, he was welcomed by the generals of the army of the Timurid Empire stationed in Mongolia.Now, tens of thousands of troops as the avant-garde have already settled down, and the main force of the infantry and the luggage are camping. The luggage carries a large amount of armor, ordnance, artillery, as well as family members and herds accompanying the army.

There are a lot of people accompanying the army, including butchers, cooks, bakers, and merchants. They sell all kinds of fruits and vegetables, armor, iron tools, coppersmith tools and saddles.Most of Timur's soldiers preferred to eat their meat with rice, despite the large supply of bread provided by the army's train corps.Because Muslims have very high requirements for body cleanliness, there are even wooden mobile bathrooms in their army that are easy to disassemble and carry. This is simply a mobile and fully functional city.

The composition of the entire army is very complex, Turks, Mongols, Transoksanians, Manzandaranis, Sisdanes, Turkestans, Azabeyanis, Indians, Hughes Rosanians, Afghans, Turkmens, Persians, Iraqis, Armenians..., due to the complex composition of the army, the religious beliefs of the soldiers are also varied, including Muslims, Shamans, Zoroastrians, and Indians. People from different places and religions, people from different places and different religions, joined together to form the same army.

Now they are busily busy setting up camp.

"How is the movement of the Ming army?"

Harry Sultan didn't show courtesy to the generals who came to greet him, and immediately asked questions as soon as he entered the big tent.

Suo Yaerha, the chief general of the Timur Empire stationed in the area, hurriedly reported: "General Harry, the Ming army is still unclear about our exact purpose. We don't know whether we plan to attack Jiayuguan in the south or Juyanhai in the east. The mobilization of troops is not frequent, but the number of troops in the direction of Jiayuguan has increased more, it seems that they have estimated that the best direction for our main attack is Jiayuguan.”

Harry Sultan nodded. Although he had just arrived, he had already been familiar with the map of the Western Regions of Ming Dynasty. As soon as he said these place names, he could clearly know their locations: "Who is the general of the Ming army? Song Sheng?" ?”

"Yes, General Harry. The chief general of the Ming army is Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, who has been stationed in the Western Regions for more than ten years. However, the imperial court sent another supervisor named Yang Xu, who is a Duke of the Ming Empire!"

"Oh?"

Harry Sultan raised his thick eyebrows, stroking the two beautiful beards on his lips, and said suspiciously: "Yang Xu? This name is very familiar, oh, I remembered, General Gesuyeddin and Prime Minister Al Basha are visiting During the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that he was the one who received them and accompanied them in the Texas military parade!"

Suo Ya'erha said respectfully: "Yes, General, we are very familiar with Song Sheng's situation. Regarding this famous general who just arrived in the Western Regions, we specially sent people to infiltrate into the territory of Daming to collect as much information as possible about him. This person has now arrived at Shazhou, and it seems that although their main line of defense is at Jiayuguan, they don't want to give up on the line of defense outside the pass!"

Suo Ya'er said: "General, Duke Yang Xu has done many great things in a short period of time since he arrived at the sandbar..."

He reported Yang Xu's recent actions in Dunhuang to Harry Sultan, and finally said: "Through these cruel methods, the local armed forces in the sand bar, which were scattered like a plate of sand, were temporarily pinched into a group by him. With all the power lost, it seems that we can no longer hope to take over the sandbar by more peaceful means."

"Oh?"

Harry Sultan continued to stroke his beard with a very interested look, and smiled slightly: "It seems that we have met an opponent!"

Suo Ya'erha smiled slyly: "Your Excellency, this opponent, if he is unlucky, he may die soon!"

"how?"

Suo Ya'er said with a sly smile: "The people we sent in Shazhou sent urgent news, and we have the exact time of Duke Yang Xu's visit to Hami. I have already dispatched the most elite troops, hoping to kill him! If If Yang Xu died on the road, then his death must have greatly damaged the morale of the Ming army, and of course, you, General, also feel sorry for not being able to fight him head-on!"

Harry Sultan laughed loudly: "There is such a thing? Suo Ya'er, you did a good job. I hope he really dies. What we have to do is to kill our opponent. It doesn't matter what method we use. To be honest, if there is a more ingenious way, I don't like fierce fighting, I don't want our women to cry because they lost their husbands, and our children to mourn because they lost their fathers!"

"You are so kind!"

Suo Ya'erha complimented, and then asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, General, what do you plan to do next, can you show me first, so that the general can prepare for you early."

Harry Sultan smiled and said: "No hurry, General Suoyarha. After a long journey, let my soldiers settle down and have a good rest. I will report my news to the Great Khan and wait for the Great Khan. Instructions in order to decide the next move!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, General!"

Suo Ya'erha respectfully agreed, and a maid came to report that the water was hot, and asked Harry Sultan to take a bath, Suo Ya'erha hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Harry Sultan's bath tent is also made of wood, which is not much different from the ones used by soldiers, but it is only for him.This is a Turkish-style bathroom. As soon as you enter, it is steaming and full of steam.

Harry Sultan was only wearing a bath towel, and his strong and fit body was naked. As soon as he stepped into the bathroom, a voluptuous female body was attached to his body: "Dear Harry, just after you settled down, you left others, and those generals It's time to discuss, is there going to be a war soon?"

"Of course not, my beauty!"

The fog was thick, and only two vague figures could be seen, but their appearance could not be clearly seen. Harry Sultan put his hands on the strong and round waist of his beloved woman, and walked towards the wooden bath chair with his arms around her. When the two of them sat in the depths and enjoyed the steaming heat, they could only hear their voices, and it was even more difficult to see their appearance clearly.

"I will not send troops recklessly. Sometimes, doing more things may not be a good thing, but it will cause you to die. Therefore, I will stay here and wait for the middle and left troops to arrive. I will not act until my grandfather sends me a definite order."

The woman asked strangely: "Why? Didn't you say that in war, you have to be as fast as the wind and as fierce as lightning in order to defeat the enemy with minimal losses?"

Harry Sultan's happy laughter came from the mist: "Hahaha, my dear, you come from a far away place, and you don't know our country, let alone our court, which is the dirtiest and filthiest place. You have to know, I am not the eldest grandson, my father is the third son of my grandfather, I have no hope of inheriting Khan, if I perform too well..."

There was silence in the bathroom for a while, and Harry Sultan's voice came out again, but this time the voice was a little low: "Do you know? Seven years ago, one of my cousins ​​led troops to Mongolia. Khotan has been advancing to the middle reaches of the Tarim River. If he continues to fight, Hami, Dunhuang, or at least the entire territory outside Jiayuguan will now be occupied by us.

However, he died!His merits aroused the envy of my grandfather's appointed heir to the throne of Khan, and the lineage of the eldest grandson. Those officials continued to slander and speak ill of him in front of my grandfather. He was recalled to Samarkand for the crime of violating the restraint of the army. Put under house arrest, and then... strangely sick and dead.He died, and he was 15 years old when he died!

He led troops to defeat Khotan, and was only 13 years old when he sent troops to Tarim!He is a genius, he is a military genius. Since childhood, he has been my idol. I have always thought that he is the second Timur Khan. If my grandfather’s inheritance can be handed over to him in the future, I believe that we can occupy the whole world!However, this invincible genius died, and died in the tricks of the sinister villain! "

Harry Sultan's voice was a little sad, a little nostalgic, a little resentful, and a little inexplicable fear: "Honey, I don't want to die inexplicably like him, I want to live!"
