Xue Xia, Shen Chen returned and, together with Suo Jing and others, took away the corpses of brothers from the Ming Dynasty's Reconnaissance and Security Bureau. When Jili came with thousands of cavalry, all they saw were dead bodies, all of them were Jili's subordinates.
Seeing this scene, Kili fell off his horse. This was completely over. It was difficult to explain no matter how hard he explained. When Kili was pretending to be dead, Polo City guard Muta, who was fawning over Kili, helped Kili.
What Muta was thinking was that Kili had always been Timur's right-hand man and had a close relationship with Timur's grandson Muhammad. If he could help Kili get out of trouble, there was no way he could become Muhammad's Staff, when Sultan Tamerlane leaves, Muhammad will definitely promote himself.
So Muta retreated and said to Kili: "If this matter is reported directly to the Sultan, I am afraid it will affect the general's status and may even implicate Muhammad."
How could Jili not know this? Two thousand people surrounded two hundred people and were killed. He damaged nearly a thousand people inside and outside, and was finally run away. If Timur knew this, he would definitely do it. First curse yourself for being incompetent, and then you have two choices:
He was taken prisoner and sent back to Samarkand to await trial.
Use your head to sacrifice the flag to restrain military discipline and warn others.
No matter which choice he made, Kili couldn't accept it, but what could he do?
Muta leaned into Kili's ear and whispered a few words. Kili was shocked at first, then silent, and finally nodded solemnly.
In order to save his own life and not to damage the majesty of Timur's cavalry, Kili decided to follow Muta's advice and tell a lie.
The true meaning of this lie is to exaggerate the Ming Dynasty's military strength and cover up its own failures.
The original two hundred plus two hundred Ming cavalry became two thousand plus two thousand cavalry in Ji Li's words. The party that originally besieged the Ming became the party besieged by the Ming.
Jili said that he was ambushed by the Ming Dynasty, how he led his men to fight bravely and kill the enemy, and finally faced more and more Ming Dynasty troops, and was forced to break out. Finally, at the cost of nearly a thousand people, he retreated to Polo City and begged for reinforcements.
Although Kili had told countless lies, his lie was the most sophisticated one. Because of his lie, Timur misjudged Ming's power.
Two hundred miles west of Kurkhalawusu, the sun and moon flags were flying, and a team of 200 envoys walked slowly.
Fu Lin looked into the distance with excitement.
Father Fu An is still alive, he is still alive! Now, I have to go see him.
Over the years, he has been fighting and persisting. He is Su Wu of the Ming Dynasty, a loyal and determined minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Fu Lin thought about the scene when he found his father countless times, but he never thought that he would meet the father of the Hongwu Dynasty envoy as an envoy from the Jianwen Dynasty.
Envoys from two dynasties, father and son from one generation!
Wang Quanzhen hummed a tune, feeling very proud.
Before the war between Zhu Di and Harry, Wang Quanzhen never thought that Ming Dynasty would end this war by capturing Harry! The Ming Dynasty was so powerful. It ate 40,000 Timur's vanguard troops and even captured Timur's grandson. Tsk tsk, thinking about it made me excited. I couldn't help but hum a little louder: "Widow Liu picked out the flower window." , stay at night waiting for me to come..."
Huo Lin and Xuan Qingshu almost fell off their horses and died. Brother, you are a civil servant. A civil servant, you have the Four Books and Five Classics, you are polite, righteous and honest!
"Deputy Ambassador Wang, this is the Western Region, and there is no Widow Liu."
Huo Lin was very dissatisfied.
Why did such a dirty old man appear in the pure team of envoys?
Wang Quanzhen laughed loudly and rolled his eyes at Huo Lin: "What do you know, kid? This is romantic! Now that we have won a great victory, we are proud and powerful, I have to think about Widow Liu?"
Xuan Qingshu interjected: "Aren't you afraid that this matter will spread to the capital and ruin your reputation?"
Wang Quanzhen patted his chest and said with a smile: "If it really spreads to the capital, this is also a good story. It shows that I, Wang Quanzhen, can be calm and composed in the midst of a pack of wolves and tigers, and do not take Timur in the slightest. You are still young. , I don’t know about the widow, bah, I don’t know what the civil servants think..."
Huo Lin despised Wang Quanzhen, but this man could be so calm and calm on the way to see Timur, without any nervousness at all, so he was indeed a courageous person.
Xuan Qingqing didn't think Wang Quanzhen was courageous. He obviously relied on Widow Liu to be courageous.
"With such a great victory, the Western Region is just around the corner!"
Fu Lin shouted.
Huo Lin shook his head and said seriously: "Don't think this way. We just defeated Harry, Timur's vanguard, that's all. Losing a vanguard doesn't mean much loss to Timur's main force."
Xuan Qingshu also maintained a high degree of rationality: "Yes, if you want to conquer the Western Region, the only way is to completely defeat Timur. And based on the information currently obtained, Timur still has hundreds of thousands of troops. This includes at least 10,000 heavy cavalry, and possibly 20,000 or more! If we underestimate him, we will suffer a big loss."
Huo Lin glanced at Xuan Qingshu and said to Fu Lin: "Although you are not a sergeant or a counselor, I still hope you can see clearly that Timur is the overlord of the west. If we want to win him, we need to pay The price is even heavier. Behind the victory, every inch of the ground beneath our feet was fought for by the soldiers with their lives. It is not an easy victory that we take for granted."
Fu Lin looked at Huo Lin and Xuan Qingshu and said solemnly: "I apologize for my recklessness. The Western Region is not yet in our hands, but I believe we can defeat Timur!"
Huo Lin laughed loudly: "Of course, everyone needs to have the belief in victory. Even if the enemy makes dumplings and drops them, we must believe until death that the general will lead the sergeants to defeat Timur. We sacrifice The place is on the land of Ming Dynasty!"
"Come on, I still want to be an official, and I want to sacrifice you."
Xuan Qingshu was very dissatisfied with the passionate Huo Lin. He liked to elevate himself and make others admire him. Look, Fu Lin already admired him.
"Alert, there are cavalry!"
Zheng Dacheng, Qianhu of the Security Bureau, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shouted.
Everyone stopped their horses and looked carefully ahead. Zheng Dacheng drove his horse in front, with more than sixty cavalry behind him lined up on the left and right. Although they did not take out their weapons, there were hand-crossbows and arrow kettles hung on the left and right sides of the saddles.
This is a team of envoys, and there is not much defense force arranged. The reason for not taking the initiative was to prevent the other party from attacking directly without even a chance to explain.
The cavalry from a distance rushed over. Zheng Dacheng squinted his eyes and tilted his head. Wasn't that Xue Xia, Suo Jing and others?
"One of our own."
Zheng Dacheng shouted and stepped forward to greet him.
Xue Xia, Suo Jing and others couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that the person coming was Zheng Dacheng. Xue Xia reined in his horse and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zheng Dacheng looked at Fu Lin, Wang Quanzhen and others behind him, and explained to Xue Xia: "The general decided to send us to find Timur to discuss exchanging Harry for Fu An, Guo Ji and others."
"Harry?"
Shen Chen, Zhang Mu and others exclaimed.
Zheng Dacheng glanced at Suo Jing depressedly: "They don't know yet?"
Suo Jing shrugged and said irresponsibly: "I was just running away and forgot to mention it."
Shen Chen, Zhang Mu and others quickly asked what was going on. When they learned that all 40,000 Harry's cavalry were destroyed and Harry himself was captured, their originally depressed mood finally improved a lot.
Caught Harry, won, good, great!
Li Zongyin, Lu Qian and others also smiled.
Shen Chen looked at the sergeants behind him. Their horses were carrying the bodies of the dead sergeants, and he shouted sadly: "Brothers, you all heard it. Harry was captured by our people! You can leave with a smile." ”
Only then did Zheng Dacheng see the sad scene, he clenched his fists and asked: "Why is this happening!"
Shen Chen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "It's nothing. There will always be casualties when performing missions. My brothers have long been prepared to face this day."
"Task?"
Zheng Dacheng stared.
Fu Lin, Wang Quanzhen, Huo Lin, Xuan Qingshu and others followed.
Xue Xia explained: "They sneaked into Yili City and burned Timur's army rations and horse grass."
"ah?"
Zheng Dacheng's eyes shone.
Fu Lin and Wang Quanzhen took a deep breath, so fiercely?
Xuan Qingshu's eyes widened.
Huo Lin got excited, "Awesome, isn't this the hero he wants to pursue?"
Xue Xia continued: "They also attacked and killed Timur himself, but it seems that Timur is not dead."
"Attack and kill Timur?!"
Huo Lin and others were shocked!
This, this is so awesome, he actually dared to attack and kill Timur in Yili City. He, they still escaped alive? There must be a large army protecting Timur, so how dare they attack and kill him?
Such courage, such courage!
Xue Xia sighed: "After running out, the two hundred brothers were surrounded by two thousand cavalry. Although Timur's cavalry was defeated, some brothers still died in the battle."
Two hundred versus two thousand?
Huo Lin swallowed, then immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shen Chen's hand and shouted: "Overlord, Overlord."
"roll!"
Although Shen Chen didn't have much knowledge, he still knew that the Overlord committed suicide, and whoever wanted to be the Overlord could become the Overlord.
Huo Lin didn't mind and said quickly: "You are the big hero in my heart. Brother, my name is Huo Lin. Let me join you. Let's go to Yili again to capture the inner city. This time we will definitely kill Timur. .”
Xue Xia was speechless, do you know how strong Timur's defense is now? If he goes there again, if Shen Chen and others are allowed to go, Timur will probably kill him first.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Xue Xia scolded, and then asked about the mission. Seeing that Fu Lin and others had made arrangements, he said nothing more, told the group to pay attention to safety, and then led the people to continue eastward.
Fu Lin and Wang Quanzhen felt that the road ahead was a bit dark. Originally, Harry was captured. It was not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send an envoy to communicate and then exchange hostages. But now Shen Chen and the others had just made a big fuss. City, Timur was very angry when he thought about it. What if he was furious, didn't want to negotiate, and decided to kill everyone...
Xuan Qingshu saw the tension between the two and said with a smile: "Whether we are safe or not does not depend on whether Timur's mood is good or bad, but on whether Timur cares about his grandson Harry. Intelligence shows that Timur's The son was useless, and only the two grandsons were outstanding. One was Muhammad, and the other was Harry. No matter what, Timur could not ignore Harry's life or death."
Fu Lin felt relieved after hearing this. Indeed, Harry was the safest shield for everyone on this trip.
"Let's go and see what kind of person this powerful Sultan is!"
Huo Lin whipped up his riding whip, and the crackling sound was heard far away.
Ji Li was restless in Boluo City when Muta came to report: "We found Ming people with two hundred riders."
Kili trembled, with a trace of hatred in his eyes: "They still dare to come? Assemble an army of four thousand cavalry, and this time we will destroy them no matter what!"
Muta looked at Jili who was suffering from the fear of "Ming", and quickly explained: "This can't be beaten. They are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and they are going to see the Sultan..."
