To the west of Jiayuguan, Chaimaba.
Three horses leaped down from the hill, and the knight waved his whip in mid-air. The horse's hooves landed on the ground, kicked up the soil, and rushed out. The knight lay low on the horse's back, without any bumps or embarrassment.
Zha Ya's eyes were cold and stern, and the long black scarf on his head moved in the wind.
In the distance is the land of the Minkeli tribe.
Zhaya did not rush into the city, but ordered the two knights beside him: "You guys find a place to hide. If I don't come back within three days, return immediately and report to Ghost Lichi Khan."
"Take orders."
The two knights scattered outside and hunkered down.
Zha Ya took a deep breath and patted his chest. There was a crucial letter inside, which needed to be delivered to the leader of the Minkeli Department no matter what.
A lonely horse with a black whip, yellow sand and sunset.
Zha Ya arrived at a Chijin city and looked at the dense city. It was cold at dusk.
This is the acropolis of the Ming Dynasty. The historical name of the commander of the defense is Talini. He is the son of Ku Shu, the former prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the leader of the Minkeli tribe.
Enter the city.
Zhaya asked someone to inquire, and by virtue of his identity as a Mongolian, he easily found Talini's residence. He asked someone to bring a token to report, and was able to enter the mansion.
Talini was a little bloated, and her legs were as thick as pillars, but the two pillars supported her body and made her look shaky.
Zhaya looked around and said to Talini, "I came from the north and I have something confidential to report. I also ask the leader to step aside."
Talini saw that Zhaya was serious and left four of his close followers behind. Then he grabbed the wine bag and took a few sips: "Zhaya, are you also from the Minkeli tribe?"
Zha Ya nodded solemnly: "Back to the leader, Zha Ya is from the Keli tribe. He is currently loyal to the Guilichi Khan, and following his secret order, he came to discuss important matters with the leader of Talini."
Talini slowly put down the wine bag, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Gui Lichi, haha, he should know that we have become the Chijin Guards of the Ming Dynasty. You are loyal to the Great Khan, and I am loyal to him." It is the Son of Heaven. The water of the Hailar River and the water of the Shule River will not merge together."
Zha Ya knew that it would be difficult to convince Talini, so he still took out the document and presented it respectfully: "It is difficult for two rivers to come together, but the wind of the grassland has always blown my family. Please take a look at it, the leader. For the sake of your kinsmen, read the Great Khan’s documents.”
Talini ordered someone to take the document, open it and read it. His pupils froze involuntarily, and he glanced at Zaya. He continued reading and then said, "Did Alutai send someone to meet Benya Shili?"
Zhaya nodded heavily: "According to reliable information, this is indeed the case. The Great Khan hopes that the leader can take this opportunity to kill Benya Shili. Once this person returns to the Tatar tribe, the Great Khan will be threatened. The Ogodai family and their relatives The people will be devastated and lose their glory.”
Talini threw the document aside and stared at Zhaya: "My people and I were once subjects of the Ogedai family, but that was just the past. Now, I am a general of the Ming Dynasty. Guilichi's The trouble has nothing to do with us. I hope you go back and tell Guilichi not to try to take back Hami, Guazhou and other places. These places have been established like rocks in the Ming Dynasty. He has no ability to move mountains and will only be injured by stones when he comes. .”
Zhaya was a little frustrated and made his final condition: "If the leader obeys the order of the Great Khan, when the Great Khan's Army Peak arrives here, the leader will be reused and the leader will replace Arutai and order the Tatars to department."

day. "
threaten?
Talini's face turned cold. He glanced at Tagg, his close friend beside him, and said emotionlessly, "Chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs."
Tag was a strong man, and although Zaya had some skills, he was no match for Tag. After receiving a punch, he fell to the ground and hummed. Before he died, he did not forget to shout: "Talini, you are a Mongolian, Ming Dynasty" It’s impossible to trust you. Sooner or later, you and everyone here will be killed by the Ming army.”
Seeing that Talini did not change his order, Tagg stepped down, broke Zha Ya's neck, lifted it up with one hand and walked out.
Talini took two sips of wine and said to the people next to him: "I have to kill him. We live outside Jiayuguan and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Once he convinces others to betray the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army will come. Here It will become a battlefield. With the style of the Ming army, they will definitely take the opportunity to completely eradicate all threats outside the pass. If you want to survive, you must stand firm."
"Then should we inform the Ming army that Benya Shili is about to return to the Tatar tribe?"
the henchman asked.
Talini shook his head: "Gui Lichi is not a good person. He poisoned the former King of Hami and used destructive means to make Benya go back. If Alutai dares to take Benya back, it shows that he I want to give up on Guilichi, Guilichi’s good days are numbered.”
Betray the Ming Dynasty?
Tarini lifted the wineskin and drowned the bitterness.
Today's northwest is no longer the northwest a few years ago. Jiayuguan is no longer the westernmost point of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jianwen's will can already be conveyed to Tashkent, the westernmost point. Jiayuguan has become an inner pass, a less important one. At the checkpoint, no one will threaten the Hexi Corridor, because the outside of the Hexi Corridor is in the hands of Ming Dynasty.
Although Wala is in the north and Tatars are also wandering in the northeast, Wala is obviously determined to recuperate and will not easily provoke Daming. With Mahamu's nature, if he wants to take action, he will never attack Daming first, but First unify the Mongolian grasslands.
As for the Tatars, they might really dare to invade the Ming Dynasty, but the question is, can they do it?
The people of the Ming Dynasty had new city-building technology. They now did not pursue a city several feet high and one or two feet wide. They first built a city surrounded by four walls as quickly as possible, and then slowly filled it in. Form a strong and wide city wall. With the city, for the Ming Dynasty sergeants, there seemed to be no unstoppable battle.
Talini didn't know how the Ming Dynasty was able to build four walls in a short period of time, but it was clear that they had terrifying power and could even easily build a city on the wasteland.
If Zhu Yunwen is willing, there will be countless more cities on the grassland. By then, Tatar and Oara, and their self-righteous power will become a joke.
Be honest and submit to Zhu Yunwen, it is better than being played to death. This life is just a few decades, just muddle along, that's it.
Talini is enlightened, but Guilichi is obviously not.
Since the Qamdo war between Zhu Di and Timur came to an end, there have been more and more conflicts between Guilichi and Arutai, and the arguments between them have become louder and louder.
Arutai believed that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was too terrifying. Even Timur was no match for them. It was really dangerous to face the Ming Dynasty again. It was better to lower their heads, pretend to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, do some business, and improve their lives.
But Gui Lichi thought that he was the Great Khan, the number one person on the grassland, so there was no way for him to submit to an Emperor Jianwen who was younger than him.
My surname is not Shi, so I can't call people "Dad".
Arutai wanted to avoid risks, and Guilichi wanted to lose face. The two had a quarrel, and finally reached a compromise, sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty to open trade, but did not ask for a seal.
After this, Arutai believed that it was too dangerous to approach the Ming Dynasty and should move eastward, back to Lake Baikal or the Hailar River, which was the traditional territory of Eastern Mongolia.
But Guilichi did not want to move eastward. You must know that Guilichi's roots are near Gansu, Ningxia, Hami, etc. These places are where the descendants of Wokuotai and their subjects are concentrated. Guilichi naturally does not want to go east.
Arutai said to go east, Guilichi said to go west. Arutai said that we will eat mutton for this meal, but Guilichi wants to eat beef.
Meat. It's just once or twice. If you start to ignore trivial things all day long, it will be a bit difficult to live a good life.
Yesuntai wanted to be a peacemaker, but Arutai thought he had reached some kind of deal with Guilichi, so he simply killed Yesuntai first and annexed Yesuntai's tribe.
Ma'erha saw that something was wrong. Arutai was really ruthless and unscrupulous. He killed his old friend of more than ten years as soon as he was told. He simply ran away with his tribe and went to Mahamu.
Without the constraints of Yesuntai and Malhaza, Arutai completely controlled the Tatar tribe, and Guilichi became a puppet in the true sense.
Being a puppet without the consciousness of being a puppet will naturally lead to a bad outcome.
In the autumn when the wind was high and the air was crisp, Arutai announced that the seven deadly sins of Guilichi were put on Guilichi's head, including the death of Suntai, the departure of Ma'erhazan, and the poisoning of the former King Hami. , killed Guilichi.
The scene of killing the Great Khan once again appeared in the grassland. Arutai welcomed Benya Shili into the grassland with a strong attitude and supported Benya Shili as the new Great Khan.
Benya returned from his absence, the voices of Kublai Khan's descendants once again echoed on the grasslands, and the Tatar tribes gained unprecedented unity. After finishing a series of affairs, Arutai and Benya Shili were finally able to sit down and discuss the future of Tatar.
Arutai was ambitious and asked Benya Shili: "I want to take Wala, what do you think?"
Benya gritted his teeth and said, "How can I be a human if I am not destroyed by Wala!"
Arutai understands Benya's loss. After all, his father was killed by the Wala people. Although the main culprit, Ha Shiha, is dead, he did not protect Li Bala, and Mahamu, who allowed Ha Shiha to kill, is still alive.
Benya Shili and Arutai hit it off immediately, mobilized the main force, and began to march westward, aiming directly at Oara.
