When the Mongolian generals who arrived in the tent retreated, leaving only a group of Han generals, Zhu Di's unfathomable expression became slightly solemn. He looked around and sighed: "It seems that Timur's empire is indeed not comparable to Oara and Beiyuan."
"Wala and Beiyuan are corrupt and arrogant, and their national power is in decline. The reason why they are able to show off their fierceness and power is just relying on the lingering shadow left by the Mongol Empire in the past, plus the prestige left by the Golden Family."
"The Timur Empire is different. When I saw it in front of the battle today, its army was in strict formation and had high morale. It is definitely not comparable to grassland bandits. If you don't look at the clothes and equipment, it is similar to our soldiers from the Central Plains."
"Amitabha, in one encounter, left hundreds of Mongolian cavalry behind, and he was able to advance without greed for credit and stop when he saw the opportunity... There is no doubt that he is an elite soldier with strict orders and a cool-headed general. Such an opponent will never be defeated. ." Yao Guangxiao also said. Although he succeeded in overthrowing the Japanese and Hami countries, he relied on the corruption in their countries to defeat them from within. Now that the Timur Empire is so powerful, and the leader of the country, Timur, is so powerful, he can only win with military strength. But the military strength of Timur's empire was also so strong, even though he was as smart as he was, he didn't have any good strategies for a while.
"Your Highness, an envoy from the Timur Empire is visiting." Outside the door, soldiers came to report.
Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, Fei Ju and others looked at each other, and immediately asked someone to announce that the Timur Empire envoy had entered the palace. What came was an envoy dressed in Islamic clothing, who many people in the Ming Dynasty called "the big cannibal". When the big eater met Zhu Di, he seemed to bow humbly, but the unruliness in his expression could not be concealed at all.
"Timur sent envoys to see this king, what advice do you have?" Seeing him like this, Zhu Di also had a bad tone.
The big cannibal was not afraid, but bowed slightly towards Zhu Di: "The great Sultan Timur told His Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty: Our army's attack is a family matter between our army and Yili's army. Previously, the Sultan invited the Ming Dynasty to attack from both sides and share the territory, but the Ming Dynasty has refused, so why should it get involved today?"
"The Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom. The great Sultan Timur admires it very much and has no intention of going against the Ming Dynasty. He also asked the Ming Dynasty to withdraw his troops. The Sultan is willing to let bygones be bygones."
"Let bygones be bygones?" Zhu Di laughed angrily. "It was your country's leader, the Sultan, who conspired with Wala Yesudier to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and now he is still aloof and wants to ignore the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's a joke. The Timur Empire thinks it has such a big territory, so why does it only send crazy people like you? Go back and tell the Sultan of your country that if he changes sides and surrenders with courtesy, our Ming Dynasty will still retain the title of marquis. Bit."
"Hey, King Yan was so angry that he killed the Great Khan of Wala. It's a pity for me. At the annual state banquet in Yingtian Mansion, there is still one less noble person to perform a dance for me, the Ming Emperor. I look at you. The position of the Sultan of the country is enough, but I heard that he is a lame? I wonder if he can dance for my Majesty the Ming Dynasty with only one foot?" Fei Ju, who had already suppressed the evil fire in his stomach, sneered at this time and said The Timurid Empire envoy retorted.
"Hahahaha, ordinary dancing, if you have a lame foot, you can't dance. I just heard that in this western border, isn't the Hu Xuan dance that turns in circles popular? Only one foot can't dance other dances, this Hu Xuan He must be a very good dancer!"
"Your Majesty must be tired of watching us Han people dance. We don't owe him a loss. We taught this poor Sultan to go to Yingtian to perform a dance and show His Majesty something new, so that he can get such a waiting position. How much more It’s a good deal! Isn’t it better than sitting in a well and watching the sky in this barbarian land?”
"That's right, I fought bloody battles for half my life to get the title of Marquis of Pingliang. This guy can dance on an equal footing with me... It's really the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave! By the way, I forgot to ask, your eyes It’s almost grown to the forehead, but can you still see what the ancestral graves are?”
Mr. Wang used to be a ranger. Most of the so-called rangers were gangsters before they were inspired by martial arts such as "The Condor". Even if he is not a gangster, he must often deal with those from all walks of life. Fei Ju is originally from a lower-class civilian background. Even though he has an identity now and is full of dirty words, it is difficult to say it, but if he wants to argue, he will definitely not lose. .
With a word from you or a word from me, all the generals present immediately raised their eyes above their heads and acted like envoys asking for guilt. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He was also considered a famous wise man and priest in Central Asia. He would never get angry with others easily. Unfortunately, this group of Orientals are really good at cursing around the corner, but they don't use a single curse word. In this scene, the True Ancestor would be furious even after he was resurrected.
"His Royal Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty! You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that the great Sultan will send troops to kill you all!" The envoy blushed and spoke nonsense.
"Oh? Timur sent you to declare war with me?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up and his hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword. "Come and fight! I am waiting here."
"In this battle, either Timur will die or I will die! I have long heard that Timur covets the Ming Dynasty. This time, I, the king, will completely nip this extremely ridiculous ambition in the bud. middle!"
The envoy was also furious and left directly. He didn't notice at all that he came here to ask Ming Dynasty not to intervene in the war. Instead, he was persuaded by a few words that the Timurid Empire sent an envoy to declare war. Yao Guangxiao looked at the envoy's leaving figure, his eyes like a sick tiger slightly condensed: "Your Highness is so excited, I wonder if the other general has fallen into the trap."
"If we don't fall into the trap, it will be difficult for us."
It turns out that Lao Shi lost his energy in the first round of confrontation, and now the situation is not optimistic for Daming. If we continue to attack forcefully to rescue Lili, it will definitely be difficult to succeed.
Only by defending instead of attacking and provoking the Timurid Empire to attack themselves can we have a chance to win.
"The Timur Empire has no contact with our Ming Dynasty. Even if they don't accept this plan to provoke the general, whether it is because they are humiliated by us or to find out the reality of our Ming army headquarters, they still have to fight for a while first." Zhu Di said.
"Old monk, please collect more information on the national conditions of the Timurid Empire. This country is quite powerful, and it is not on the same level as the previous Oara Beiyuan and others. If you use force to suppress it, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. The more information there is, , we may be able to find other opportunities to win.”
With Zhu Di's pride, he openly admitted that he could no longer defeat the Timurid Empire, which shows the shock and pressure placed on him by the troops in front of him.
Yao Guangxiao bowed in response, turned around and went down to make arrangements. Fei Ju, Zhang Yu, Wang Xian and other generals also arranged for defense and waited for Timur's empire to attack. Sure enough, early the next morning after the envoy returned, a deep and powerful war cry accompanied the tremors of the earth, resounding throughout the morning.
As expected, the Timurid Empire chose to fight the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was ready for its first battle with the third world conqueror in history.
