Chapter 827 - Desire Stepping Stone
Xia Xun rushed to Hami and prepared to send troops from King Hami to send him back to Xiliang. During this period, Xia Xun met with Feng Fierce Yan, who had just recovered from his injuries, and visited some soldiers who were temporarily stranded in Hami due to injuries and disabilities, and naturally wanted to bring them back to Ganliang when he left.
King Hami Tokhoff came to a large banquet for several days, invited guests, washed the dust for Xia Xun, and celebrated that he would not die in a catastrophe and finally get out. Since the strong enemy has retreated, the solicitation of the hearts and minds of the people in the Western Regions is not something that can be done in a short time, and Xia Xun's method of eradicating dissidents by iron-blooded means on the sandbank will not work here, so Xia Xun is not interested in having a banquet with the Hami bureaucrats.
Five days later, the people who should be summoned and pacified have also seen, Xia Xun asked to leave immediately, King Hami very much hopes that this important minister of the court will stay in Hami for a long time, which is very useful for him to expand his influence and consolidate his position, but he also knows that Xia Xun has been missing for half a year, and he is already like an arrow, so he does not dare to stay, so he immediately arranged for a camel team to ride and take care of Xia Xun on the road.
At this time, the secret envoy carrying Xia Xun's letter had already pretended to be a small caravan and had been on the road for several days.
Suzhou city, recently gradually prospered again, Suzhou is the most prosperous city in the Jiuquan area, since the end of last year, because the war is approaching, the merchants are extinct, some qualified gentry have fled from the local area, moved to the inland, so here is a lot desolate, now because the army of the Timurid Emperor has withdrawn to Samarkand, the war is lifted, and soon the prosperity is restored.
Tuoba Mingde is in Suzhou City at the moment, renting a village. This village is a lower courtyard of the Suzhou gentry Ma family.
Because of the fear that before Timur's army killed Jiayu Pass, he suffered from the disaster of pond fish, and the Ganliang clan withdrew to Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, and only a few people were left in the village courtyard here to take care of it, these people are mainly engaged in business, and their brains are flexible.
In order to implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, Song Sheng, the general of Pingqiang, moved the wealthy merchants and giants of the sandbank to Jiayuguan, and Tuoba Mingde followed Hún into the pass, these wealthy merchants of the sandbank dragged their families and servants like clouds, and no inn could live, and most of the inns in the Western Regions were big car shops, and it was very difficult to find a good living condition, so most of them chose to rent the village of the Ganliang gentry.
Tuoba Mingde also pretended to rent a courtyard, which was the lower courtyard of the Ma family.
Originally, Tuoba Mingde has been stranded near Jiayuguan and refused to retreat inward, because when Timur's army arrived, he was responsible for the internal and external cooperation, opening Jiayuguan, and letting Timur's army enter the city.
When the nobles and wealthy gentry returned to Dunhuang one after another, Tuoba Mingde did not rush to follow, because he did not have a place to live in Shazhou, for the time being, the rich gentry from all sides were busy reorganizing their homes, and they would not gather caravans to go to the West for a while, and he could only stay there when he arrived at Shazhou, what is the difference between him and here?
Moreover, he was a close confidant of Soyahar, the general of the Timurid Emperor's state stationed in Beshabali, and now he has received the news that after his Royal Highness Sultan Hari learned that Timurid Khan had died of illness, he had launched a mutiny, and he had imprisoned Gaisuyaddin who had come to receive the military power, killed Soyahar, took his army in his hands, and drove him back to Samarkand.
Don't lose Bali at this moment is equivalent to a quarter in the hands of the Ming Court, a quarter in the hands of Wara, and two-quarters under the control of His Highness Harry, he doesn't know the situation, if he crashes back, how do you know that he will not throw himself into the net and become a prisoner of Harry Sultan? Therefore, Tuoba Mingde calmed down and stayed in Ganliang for the time being to watch the wind.
A few days ago, he received news such as the emperor's grandson Hari Sultan being called emperor, the emperor's grandson Pilma black horse being called emperor, Haritas killing Pilma black horse, and the power of the imperial grandson's line has been divided between Shaharu and Hari Sultan, and Tuoba Mingde is even more panicked.
He is a member of the Emperor's grandson's faction, and the Emperor's grandson has died, and the emperor's power has collapsed, who else can he go to when he returns to the Timurid Emperor's kingdom at this time? If he had a heavy army in his hands and the value of being recruited, but now he only had some goods and more than a hundred soldiers in his hands, who would take him seriously?
Tuoba Mingde now has a lot of wealth in his hands, and at the same time, with more than a hundred Jīng Zhuang soldiers, in order to more perfectly disguise his identity, when he set off from Beshibali, he also brought some NV soldiers, these NV soldiers from the tribe, whether they are riding shè or foot combat, are not inferior to men. These NV soldiers are now disguised as his slaves and family members, respectively.
When Tuoba Mingde came to the east, two NV soldiers pretended to be his shì concubines, and most of the rest of the NV soldiers pretended to be shì maids, and a few pretended to be NV slaves.
These people were also surprised to hear that such a big change had happened in the Timurid Emperor's kingdom in a short period of time, but if they wanted to ask them, then there was no need to count on them, they were just brave and warlike horsemen, and their wisdom and strategy were much worse than his Tuoba Mingde, so the four of them all expressed their willingness to follow his arrangement and find a way out for this lonely army.
Tuoba Mingde thought hard for a few days, and he really came up with a solution: defect to Warat!
Emperor Timur obviously has no place for him to live, and the closest non-Ming force is Warat.
But if he wants to defect to Warat, be reused by it, and become a general with heavy troops and a side again, he needs an absolutely powerful brick, where does this brick come from? Finally, he thought of the direct descendants of the ancient Great Khan of Méng, who were now nomadic in Ganliang.
He knew that the current strength of the Varat was stronger than that of the Tatars, but if the Varat wanted to unify the ancient grasslands of Méng, the biggest weakness was that there was no direct descendant of the Golden Family who could call on the ancient tribes of Méng, although the Golden Family had become a puppet in the hands of the nobles of the ancient tribes of Méng, but for many ordinary Méng ancients, the Golden Family still had considerable appeal.
This is like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the hands of Cao Cào, no matter which way he falls into the hands of the princes, he is a puppet who can be put on the table, but those who can master him will be able to become famous and attract the hearts of the people. The power of the Tatars was originally weaker than that of Warat, but because the Arutai Grand Master controlled the direct descendants of the golden family of Benjasuri, they were able to compete with Warat.
If he can steal Tokhtar out and give it to the three kings of Warat to be established as the ancient Khan of Méng, and fight with the Tatars for legitimacy, not only will the three kings of Warat reuse him, but the puppet Khan of Tokhtar will also have some power, and he will be able to use it when the time comes. As a result, Tuoba Mingde quietly inquired about the whereabouts of Tokhtarbuhuā.
Soon, he passed through the ancient Méng people who were living in Suzhou and inquired about the whereabouts of Tokhtarbuhuā and his half-brother Agadorji. Their tribe raises a large number of deer and mined yù utensils, and the NV people of the tribe also go up the mountain to pick snow mushrooms and other mountain delicacies. Due to his special status, the Suzhou Weizhen Yiqianhu Office was stationed on the periphery of his tribe and was given special care.
If Tuoba Mingde wants to steal out of Tokhtarbuhuā, he must open the joints, and even if he can't buy Zhenyi Qianhu for his use, he must also get in touch with this Zhenyi Qianhu in order to pass through his defense area and steal a big living person out unknowingly. So Tuoba Mingde tried every possible way to get a relationship with this Zhenyi Qianhu in the name of buying goods from the tribes under the Qilian Mountain.
During this period, Yu Jian was not by his side, and after arriving in Suzhou, Yu Jian immediately reported the news that he saw Xia Xun in Beishi Bali to Ji Gang. If Xia Xun stays in the Western Regions and can't return, then there is still a chance to take advantage of it.
However, when the news about the Timurid Emperor came one after another, the value of Tuoba Mingde's benefits was almost gone. But Yu Jian didn't rush to report Tuoba Mingde, because once Tuoba Mingde was arrested and confessed to the crime, he might tell the story of the attack on Xia Xun, and the news came from him. It is also not easy to kill Tuoba Mingde, and even a NV person around Tuoba Mingde is a brave and good warrior.
It was not easy to assassinate him, with the help of the power of the Ganliang military to arrest him, and he was worried that he would be affected, this Tuoba Mingde had become a hot potato in Yu Jian's hands, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Yu Jian had no choice but to excuse himself to go home to save his relatives, and left Tuoba Mingde's side first, hiding himself in the shadows, and then liaising with Ji Gang, and asked Ji Gang to quickly send the Jinyi Ti of the brigade to come and use his own people to solve this disaster.
If Tuoba Mingde was about to leave at this time, Yu Jian could only watch him leave, who knew that Tuoba Mingde yù took refuge in Wara, and actually had the idea of getting rid of it.
When Yu Jian left, Tuoba Mingde had not yet determined his whereabouts, and when he was determined to defect to Wara, Yu Jian was no longer around, and he lost the help of this local pass.
At this moment, Tuoba Mingde was making a mistake with this Zhenyi Qianhu Shao Wangxin Shao Master who had just met for a few days, and he was drunk and drunk.
"Hehe, Lord Qianhu, this is the first time to do business in Suzhou, there is no mén road here, this matter has to trouble you to introduce on your behalf, help a lot, after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks!"
Tuoba Mingde clapped his hands after speaking, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a graceful young man wearing a pomegranate red huā skirt walked in from outside, and glanced at Shao Qianhu shyly and timidly, and then stepped aside.
This NV person has deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, brown hair, bright facial features, a long and graceful figure, but the skin is slightly dark, but the skin is more delicate and tender than the white skin, but it adds a bit of health, Xìng sense and vitality, that kind of bodybuilding, which is by no means the same as the beauty of the Central Plains, which makes men very conquest.
Shao Qianhu's eyes lit up, stared at this beautiful NV man tightly, and asked, "...... is this?"
Tuoba Mingde said: "Oh, I heard that the adults are coming to Suzhou and are going to live here for three or five days, how can they be done alone without NV people around to take care of them?" This NV person's name is Bilan, and he is an NV slave who was bought back from the Western Regions, so he sent her to the adults to live in the future, hoping that the adults of the thousand households will not dislike it! ”
Shao Qianhu mō squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the lovely nv slave, and hesitated in his heart: "I, Wan Songling, have always cheated money and not cheated sè, and cheated sè not cheated money, but this exotic beauty really has a different flavor, should I make an exception?" ”
P: Ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!
