Zhu Di and Zhu Su reunited after a long absence, and both brothers had a lot to say. It's a pity that I am in the army at this time and surrounded by powerful enemies, so I really can't drink.
However, despite this, Zhu Di still gathered the generals and had a small banquet with Zhu Su and his party, and then pulled Zhu Su into his tent and talked to him about what he had seen these days.
"Since marching westward, I have realized how big the world is." Zhu Di put his hands behind his head, like a child who has discovered a treasure and can finally show it off, with an excited look on his face. "I thought that Mongolia and the four great khanates were everything in this world."
"I didn't expect that all the way to the west, Timur's Empire, Persia... there would be places like this."
"Fifth brother, do you know? To the west of Timur's empire, the Great Qin mentioned in the "Book of Han" is already in sight. I heard that the Great Qin is now declining and is being threatened by another powerful emerging empire."
"I didn't expect that the Qin Dynasty has been inherited for thousands of years from the Han Dynasty to the present? It's amazing that such a big empire is about to be destroyed by others."
"Further to the west, there are more countries fighting in melee. I heard that above their emperor, there is a pope. It's really a world full of wonders."
Zhu Su listened quietly. The Great Qin Kingdom Zhu Di mentioned was probably the Roman Empire in history. The Roman Empire has been passed down several times, but in fact, the current Rome is no longer the same as the previous one. However, Zhu Su did not interrupt, and just listened quietly to Zhu Di talking about what he had seen.
"...Most of these countries are barbaric, ignorant, cruel and aggressive. Only after arriving in these places did I understand what kind of paradise China is." Zhu Di spoke for a long time before sighing. His expression gradually became solemn, and he turned to look at Zhu Su: "You said that in the future, these countries will become more powerful than China, and then bully my Chinese people, right?"
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded. "In fact, at this time, they have already reached a turning point that is about to take off."
"Nowadays, an ideological reform trend is brewing in the West, which later generations will call the 'Renaissance Movement'. After this movement, the West began to officially take off and continue to advance by leaps and bounds, but we, China... are arrogant and arrogant because of being conservative and conservative. In the end, these Western barbarians surpassed China."
"Hundreds of years later, the Western barbarians knocked on the door of our country with strong ships and cannons, bringing unprecedented humiliation to the Chinese civilization. China was almost sunk. Countless martyrs fought one after another and built the Great Wall almost with their own flesh and blood. Only then did we stop our country. However, even so, China has not been able to recover its strength for hundreds of years."
"But they have grown rapidly with the help of various wealth plundered from China..."
Zhu Su looked at the top of the tent, rather than telling Zhu Di, he was talking to himself. Zhu Di listened quietly. Although he did not understand what the "Renaissance Movement" was, he could hear Zhu Su's deep regret and humiliation for that period of "history."
"In this case, it is even more important to defeat the stumbling block of the Timur Empire." Zhu Di's voice turned cold.
"What's the 'Renaissance Movement'? When our army arrives, we must turn it into the 'Chinese Renaissance Movement'!"
"How to defeat Timur, fourth brother, do you have any opinions?" Zhu Su asked.
Although the two armies have converged, the situation is still not optimistic. Although the people brought by Zhu Su had a large number of civil servants and generals, their military strength was actually not sufficient. Zhu Di fought with Timur for a long time, and his military strength was reduced. The two brothers combined had less than 40,000 troops at this time.
It is still not enough to attack Timur by force.
"In the past few days, there have been raids everywhere. Timur's army is really dense..." Speaking of this, Zhu Di was also a little frustrated.
"After all, this guy is also the leader of a country, and he actually put up a formation like a turtle shell. Ordinarily, he calls himself the Golden Family, and he should be as aggressive as the Mongols in fighting... I don't know where he learned this from. A rogue style of play.”
Zhu Laosi gritted his teeth, but Zhu Su could tell that although he was cursing, in fact, he still admired Timur in his heart.
"Timur has no flaws. Are his generals like iron barrels?" Zhu Su said. "Fourth Brother, have you found out the true and false identity of the people in Timur's army?"
"Natural." Zhu Di said. He was chatting happily, but he was not sleepy at this time, so he simply stood up, and he and Zhu Suyong were brought to the map on the table.
"Timur is good at making use of his tribesmen, so most of his generals are descendants of his tribe." Zhu Di said, he harassed Timur's army every day, and he knew the distribution of his generals very well.
"The man you and Mahamu met this morning was named Shaxijia. He was an elder in Timur's clan and his helper in starting a business. This man was quite experienced in using soldiers, and he had predicted Mahamu in advance. The route to Mu Qian was preceded by an ambush..."
"In addition to him, there are also several sons of Timur, including Mirasha, Shaharul, and Tohurgan..." Zhu Di said, listing the garrison locations of Timur's sons one by one on the map. Pointed out. Timur's sons had many descendants, including about seven or eight.
"The tiger father has no dog sons. Most of these people also know some military strategies. And Timur is commanding the entire army. It is not easy to deal with them."
"Milansha?" Zhu Su looked at the places that Zhu Di pointed out first and fell into deep thought. "Is this garrison of Miran Shah adjacent to Tamerlane's other son Shaharul?"
"...Yes, what?" Seeing Zhu Su asking, Zhu Di's face flashed with joy. He knew that because of his special experience, his brother sometimes knew some details that ordinary people didn't know. "This Miran Shah is Timur's most valiant and skilled son, and he is indeed brave... Why, could he take advantage of this opportunity instead?"
"Maybe." Zhu Su said. Zhu Su doesn't remember much about the history of Timur's empire. He only remembers that after Timur's death, his sons competed for the position of sultan, fighting each other to the death, and the Timur empire fell apart.
This Miran Shah is adjacent to Shaharu... If these two people both want to be Timur's heir, perhaps they are eager for the Ming army to kill this brother next to them...
In other words, if the Ming army attacks here, the two Timurid armies may not cover each other...
"How much information do you have on Miransha and Shaharul, Fourth Brother?" With only the vague memories in his mind, Zhu Su did not dare to confirm, so he asked Zhu Dixiang.
"Although Timur is a great talent and a great strategy, they can never be monolithic... If you want to defeat the enemy, you may have to start with his sons!"
