When Zhu Di was on his own expedition, Timur's right army had already arrived in Mongolia

Monastan is a part of Beshbali, stretching from the Altai Mountains in the east, to the desert east of the Talas River in the west, to the Tarbagatai Mountains in the north to Lake Balghosh, and to the Tien Shan Mountains in the south. The Eastern Chahatai Khanate had its capital in Beshbali, at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and used it as the core to control the Mongol tribes.

After the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains, it lost control of the Western Regions, and the Mongols at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains gradually integrated into the Ugurs, and the Mongols at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains also merged with the local ethnic groups and tribes, forming the Kazakh, Uzbek, Kirgiz and other ethnic groups in modern times. At present, it is occupied by three forces, the western part of which is largely subordinated to Timur, the northern part of the country is under the sphere of influence of Warat, and the eastern part is subject to the Ming Dynasty.

Timur's right army marched from Tashkent, crossed the Tien Shan Mountains, advanced to the Ili River, and in late February, when the weather warmed a little, they entered Beshbali and arrived about 800 miles away from Hamiwei, a military town on the western border of the Ming Empire. At this time, Xia Xun set out from Dunhuang and was also advancing to Hami, Xia Xun had just walked out of more than 300 miles, and the distance from Hami was about 800 miles.

The commander of the Right Route Army of the Timurid Empire's Eastern Crusade was Sultan Hari, who was the grandson of Timur and the eldest son of Timur's third son. Timur had four sons, the eldest son and the second son died early, the third son and the fourth son are still alive, but the third son has always been in poor health, he stayed in Samarkand on this expedition, and Timur's son now has only four sons who are still active in the army, and at the moment he is the commander of the Left Route Army.

However, Timur had many grandchildren, many outstanding and excellent grandsons that he was proud of, and Hari Sultan was one of them.

Sultan Hari, who was just over 20 years old, was young and vigorous, and when he arrived in Mongolia, he was greeted by the generals of the Timurid Empire's army in Mongolia. Now, as the avant-garde, tens of thousands of people have been stationed, and the main force of the infantry and the baggage troops are camping, carrying a large amount of armor, ordnance, artillery, as well as the family regiments and herds of the accompanying troops.

The army was accompanied by a large number of butchers, cooks, bakers, and merchants, who sold all kinds of fruits and vegetables, armor, iron-striking utensils, coppersmiths' utensils, and saddles. Although the accompanying baggage troops could supply a large amount of bread, most of Timur's soldiers preferred to eat meat with rice. Because Muslims are very clean and clean, they even have wooden mobile bathrooms in the army, which are easy to disassemble and transport, and this is simply a mobile and fully functional city.

The composition of the whole army is very complex, Turkic, Mongol, Transsoksani, Manzandalanise, Sisdanis, Turkestan, Azabeyanis, Indians, Khorasans, Afghans, Turkmen, Persians, Iraqis, Armenians, ......, because the composition of the army is very complex, the religious beliefs of the soldiers are also varied, Islamists, shamans, Zoroastrians, as well as Indian, Iranian and other local religious believers, people from different places, People of different religions, pieced together into the same army.

Now they are nervously busy setting up camp.

"How's the movement of the Ming army?"

Harry Sultan did not greet the generals who came to greet him, and immediately asked as soon as he entered the tent.

The chief general of the Timurid Empire stationed in the place, Suo Ya Erha, hurriedly reported: "General Harry, the Ming army still can't figure out our exact purpose, I don't know whether we plan to attack Jiayuguan in the south or go east to Yanhai, so the movement of the army is not frequent, but the army in the direction of Jiayuguan has increased a lot, it seems that they have estimated that our best main attack direction is still Jiayuguan." ”

Harry Sultan nodded, although he had just arrived, he was already familiar with the map of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, as long as these place names were spoken, he could clearly know their location: "Who is the commander of the Ming army?" Song Sheng? ”

"Yes, General Harry. The main general of the Ming army was Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining, who had been stationed in the Western Regions for more than ten years, but the imperial court sent another supervisor called Yang Xu, who was a duke of the Ming Empire! ”

"Oh?"

Harry Sultan raised his heavy eyebrows, stroked the two beautiful beards curved on his lips, and said suspiciously: "Yang Xu? The name is familiar, oh, I remember, when General Gaisuyaddin and Prime Minister Albarsha visited Daming, it seems that he came forward to receive them and accompany them on the military parade in Texas! ”

Suo Ya Erha said respectfully: "Yes general, we know Song Sheng's situation very well, for this Ming general who has just arrived in the Western Regions, we specially sent someone to infiltrate the Ming territory to collect his intelligence as much as possible." This person has now arrived at Shazhou, and it seems that although their main line of defense is placed in Jiayu Pass, they do not want to give up the defense line outside the pass! ”

Suo Ya'er said: "General, after Duke Yang Xu arrived at Shazhou, he has done many great things in a short period of time......

He reported Yang Xu's recent moves in Dunhuang to Sultan Harry, and finally said: "Through these cruel means, the local armed forces of the sandbar that are scattered like sandbars have been temporarily pinched into a regiment by him, and some of the forces we have attracted and cultivated in the sandbar have been lost, and it seems that we can no longer expect to receive the sandbar by relatively peaceful means." ”

"Oh?"

Harry Sultan continued to stroke his beard, looking very interested, and smiled slightly: "It seems that we have met an opponent!" ”

Suo Ya Erha smiled slyly: "Your Excellency General, this opponent, if you are unlucky, may soon return to heaven!" ”

"How?"

Suo Ya'er sneered: "We sent someone in Shazhou to send urgent news, and we have mastered the exact time of Duke Yang Xu's visit to Hami, and I have sent one of the most elite troops, hoping to kill him!" If Yang Xu dies on the road, then his death will definitely greatly demoralize the Ming army, of course, general, you must also regret that you can't fight him head-on! ”

Harry Sultan laughed: "There is such a thing? Soyaerha, you're doing a good job, I hope he's really dead. What we have to do is to kill our opponents, it doesn't matter what means are used, to be honest, if there is a more ingenious way, I don't like fierce fighting, I don't want our women to cry because of the loss of their husbands, and our children to grieve because of the loss of their fathers! ”

"You are so merciful!"

Suo Yaerha complimented, and then asked: "Your Excellency General, how do you plan to act next, can you show it first, and the general can prepare for you in advance." ”

Hari Sultan smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Soyaerha, after a long journey, let my soldiers settle down and have a good rest." I will report my message to the Great Khan and listen to the instructions of the Great Khan so that I can decide on the next move! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Soyahar respectfully agreed, and a maid came to report that the water was hot and asked Hari Sultan to bathe, and Soyahar got up and took his leave.

Hari Sultan's bath tent was also made of wood, not much different from the one used by the soldiers, except that he had it alone. It's a Turkish-style bathroom, and as soon as you enter, it's steaming hot.

Harry Sultan was only wrapped in a bath towel, exposing his sturdy and toned body, and as soon as he stepped into the bathroom, a bewitching female body was attached to his body: "Dear Harry, just after being stationed, you left behind the people, discussed with those generals, and there was about to be a war?" ”

"Of course not, my beauty!"

The fog was so thick that he could only see two faint figures, unable to see their appearances, Harry Sultan put his hand on the sturdy and round waist of his beloved woman, and walked towards the wooden bath chair with his arms around her, and when the two of them sat down in the depths and enjoyed the steaming steam, they could only hear their voices, and it was even more difficult to see their appearances.

"I won't send troops recklessly, sometimes, doing more things may not be a good thing, but it will cause you to kill yourself, so I will stay here and wait for the middle and left army to arrive, and when my grandfather comes with a definite order, I will act."

The woman asked curiously, "Why?" Didn't you say that in battle, you must be as fast as the wind and as fierce as lightning, so that you can crush the enemy with the least loss? ”

Harry Sultan's happy laughter came from the mist: "Hahaha, my dear, you come from a distant land, and you do not know our country, let alone our court, which is the dirtiest, most filthy place!" You know, I'm not the eldest grandson, my father, it's my grandfather's third son, and I have no hope of inheriting the throne, if I do too well......"

There was silence in the bathroom for a while, and then Hari Sultan's voice came again, only this time it was a little low: "You know what? Seven years ago, a cousin of mine led his troops to Mongolstan, and he captured Khotan, and advanced all the way to the middle reaches of the Tarim River, and if he continued to fight, Hami, Dunhuang, and at least all the territories outside Jiayu Pass would now be occupied by us.

However, he died! His exploits aroused the jealousy of my grandfather's appointed heir to the throne of Khan, the eldest grandson, who constantly slandered him in front of my grandfather and spoke ill of him, and he was recalled to Samarkand, put under house arrest on charges of violating military moderation, and then ...... Oddly sick and died. He died, he was fifteen years old when he died!

He led the troops to defeat Khotan, and when the soldiers sent to Tarim, he was thirteen years old! He is a heavenly sky, he is a military heavenly sky, since childhood, he has been my idol, I have always believed that he is the second Timur Khan, if the grandfather's inheritance can be handed over to him in the future, I believe that we can occupy the whole world! However, this invincible Tian Yu died, died in the tricks of the sinister villain! ”

Sultan Harry's voice was a little sad, a little remembrance, a little resentful, and some inexplicable fear: "My dear, I don't want to die inexplicably like him, I want to live!" ”
