After learning about the situation in Delhi, Jimuda wanted to take the good news back home quickly, so he couldn't wait to say goodbye to Zhu Zhongming, and then hurried back without any effort.
………………
Dalantai has led the army less than 150 miles away from Delhi. If you walk faster, you can get there in three days.
He was about to arrive at the capital of the Mughal Empire, which made Dalantai feel that the burden on his shoulders became even heavier.
No matter what, Delhi, as the capital of the Mughal Empire, was definitely heavily guarded, right? He only has more than 10,000 troops, and the rest, although there are many people, are actually useless at all. If you really want to encounter the enemy's main force in the wild, you only need to charge, or even don't need to charge. Just shout from the opponent, and the possibility of betrayal is very high.
It was also because of this worry that Dalantai ordered Jimuda to go to the sentinel in person, otherwise, he would not be at ease.
However, since Jimuda sent someone to report that it was not far from Delhi, and he personally went to Delhi to investigate, there was no news. This made Dalantai a little anxious: This Jimuda was so steady before, this time What happened? There wasn’t even a messenger?
The thought inside the Chinese military tent made him angry, but after walking out of the Chinese military tent and having a wider view, Dalantai was no longer so angry. In fact, he knew very well that considering the time and distance, Jimuda did not send anyone back, and it was still within the normal range. I guess I'll definitely get a reply after a day or two. If you haven't heard from me yet, that's really unusual!
Speaking of which, I was still anxious! Dalantai thought so in his heart.
At this moment, the sound of armor clanging was heard. Dalantai heard the sound and looked over, only to see an envoy from the Ming Dynasty walking towards him, surrounded by several imperial guards.
Before this person arrived, a smile appeared on his face, with a cheerful look on his face: "We are almost in Delhi, right? I would like to see if this Mughal dares to invade my Ming Dynasty. There are people in this capital." How powerful?"
"..." Dalantai was a little speechless. How powerful the Mughal Empire invaded the Ming Dynasty and their capital. Is this directly related?
Also, if I really want to be fair, if the Ming Dynasty did not "tease" the Mughals, would they attack the Ming Dynasty?
Although I was thinking like this, if my butt was on Daming's side after all, I just thought about it and let it go.
But before Dalantai had time to say anything, the Ming envoy had already arrived in front of him and said to him again: "I don't know if your majesty has reached Delhi? If not, you say, let's make a fuss in Delhi first. , is it better to go west and join His Majesty?"
Fortunately, the Ming envoy finally did not say that he would capture Delhi first to welcome the Ming Emperor! Dalantai listened and looked at the Ming envoy and thought so.
In his opinion, this Ming envoy is really no ordinary person, he is too optimistic!
Such a blindly optimistic attitude is not good, especially now that we are approaching the capital of the Mughal Empire. If the enemy attacks with heavy troops, he will suffer heavy losses.
With this in mind, Dalantai made up his mind, coughed as a prelude, and then solemnly said to the Ming envoy: "We are not yet so optimistic. We don't know what the situation is like on your Majesty's side..."
As soon as he said this, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and immediately interrupted him and said: "Why, are you worried about His Majesty? Haha, don't worry, he is the Ming Emperor, and the Mughals are the only ones. How can a clown win over His Majesty? This is impossible!"
When he said the last sentence, his tone was decisive. According to Dalantai's understanding, it was very pious.
"No..." Dalantai said helplessly when he saw this, "You can't underestimate the Mughal Empire. After all, they are also a big country with a vast territory, a large population, and strong military strength..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, the Ming envoy waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said to Dalantai, "Okay, let's make a bet. I bet that your majesty can defeat the Mughal army. If you don’t have the power to resist, no one can do anything to your Majesty, how about that?”
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" When Dalantai heard this, his consciousness was still very high. How could he be allowed to bet that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could not beat others! If this matter is reported to the Ming Emperor, will he be able to reap the benefits? Therefore, he immediately shook his head and said, "I just mean to be cautious, be cautious!"
Upon hearing this, the Ming envoy couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, showing a knowing smile. Then he stopped smiling and said to him seriously: "You have never seen your majesty, so you don't know how powerful your majesty is in fighting! This time the West Go, and after meeting His Majesty, you will understand. I am absolutely not exaggerating. Your Majesty, there is divine help. As for us, we only need to obey His Majesty's will and do what His Majesty tells us."
Dalantai felt the seriousness of the Ming envoy. He was a little surprised. Could it be that the Ming emperor was really that powerful in fighting?
At this moment, Dalantai really believed it.
But at least he was the commander-in-chief of an army, and Gushi Khan trusted him to lead the army. He quickly came to his senses, remembered the reality, and decided not to get entangled with the Ming envoy, but to follow his own predetermined ideas and be cautious. Go west.
However, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty kept urging him to go west quickly to join the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was also annoying. Thinking about this, Dalantai began to think about how to express his meaning tactfully.
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard from the camp.
Generally speaking, galloping horses are not allowed in military camps unless there is something particularly important or news to report.
Thinking of this, Dalantai immediately frowned and turned his head to look.
At this time, the first thing that came to his mind was that the Mughal Empire's army had finally arrived. Because it was too close to the capital of the Mughal Empire, he was most worried about it.
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty naturally heard it. He also understood the rules in the army and was equally curious, but his expression was much more relaxed, and he also turned around to look.
I saw the man running towards me on horseback, dressed as a sentinel. Dalantai even recognized that the leader was his confidant Jimuda. Suddenly, there was a bang in his mind. As expected, Jimuda must have found out the news that the Mughal army was attacking, so he hurriedly came back to report the news.
At this time, Jimuda also saw Dalantai in front, so he reined in his horse, then rolled his saddle and dismounted, and hurried over to Dalantai. There was an uncontrollable smile on his face.
This situation made Dalantai stunned. What's going on? Jimuda can still laugh? Didn't he bring bad news?
While he was thinking about it, he saw Jimuda striding up to him, saluting with joy and saying: "I've seen His Highness, I've seen angels..."
Perhaps he was rushing back in a hurry. When Jimuda said this, he couldn't help but take a breath and calm down.
Dalantai had already come to his senses when he spoke, so he took advantage of the gap and immediately asked nervously: "How is it? Did you find out any news?"
At this time, Jimuda had already calmed down and said loudly and excitedly: "The last general sent his sentry to Delhi and met Ye Bushou from His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He is an old acquaintance of our former Heshuote Department. By the way. , His Majesty has now led the army to besiege Delhi!"
Perhaps he was too excited. When he spoke, he wanted to tell all the big things at once, which made Dalantai confused.
"What do you mean? They told you that His Majesty has led the army to attack Delhi?" Dalantai confirmed in surprise.
"Yes, oh, no!" At this time, Jimu felt that he had lost his composure and quickly recovered his emotions. Then the regulations were clearly reported to him. He saw the army attacking Delhi, and then met a fellow villager and learned from the fellow villager. Everything he knew was explained in concise language first.
Listening to Dalantai, it felt like he was listening to a legendary story, the kind where the great Khan was invincible. With only 20,000 cavalry, they were galloping across the northwest of the powerful Mughal Empire. They were invincible. What was even more powerful was that they defeated the elite Mughal army, which was far more powerful than their own. Use it to attack the Mughal capital instead!
Could it be that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really a god who came to the world and was discovered by the Mughals and worshiped him?
There was a "pop". Just as Dalantai was thinking about it, he felt someone hit him on the shoulder. When he came back to his senses and looked around, he saw the Ming envoy had just retracted his hand, smiled so brightly and said to him happily: "Why?" So, am I right?"
The facts are right in front of him. Even if Dalantai finds it unbelievable, he still has to believe that it is true. So, he nodded and replied to the Ming envoy: "Your Majesty is really amazing!"
When he said this, he suddenly had a very strong expectation in his heart, that is, he really wanted to meet such a powerful Emperor Ming. By the way, what was the Emperor Ming like who was praised and convinced by his father Khan? a great emperor?
So, after Dalantai asked Jimuda some questions carefully, he also discussed with the Ming envoy, and ordered the entire army to march quickly to meet the Ming Emperor. Don't go too late, Delhi will be attacked by the Ming Emperor. If you come down, you will miss a very important battle.
There is nothing to say about the troops he brought with him. The most important thing is, what to do with so many burdens if he marches in a hurry? These prisoners, as well as those who were brought here, did not really surrender. Once they marched in a hurry, they would definitely cause trouble or even disperse in a rush.
Regarding his worries, the Ming envoy did not care. He immediately sent people to deliver the order and said to those people: "I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have destroyed Sha Shujia's troops and led an army of more than 100,000 to besiege Delhi. In a short time, we can Capture. Now our army has to march quickly to Delhi, and we will capture Delhi together and share the great credit. If you want to get military credit in this battle to capture Delhi, hurry up!"
