At this time, in the camp of the Turkic army, the Khan of Sheku called a meeting of the heads of all the tribes to discuss the current situation. He stayed in the vicinity of the original for more than a month, but did not make the slightest progress, but lost his troops, and many tribes proposed: now that spring has arrived, it is a good time for grazing, and this hopeless war should not be fought again.

These proposals irritated the Khan, who paced back and forth in his tent, anxious.

Seeing the situation of his own khan, Timur Fang couldn't help but come out and said: "Khan, I am willing to be the envoy again and go to the camp of the Zhou army!" ”

After hearing this, the Khan couldn't help frowning and asked, "You go to the camp of the Zhou army?" Aren't you afraid that Yuming will kill you? At present, the negotiations between our two armies have long since broken down, and this person has always acted unscrupulously, only afraid of great danger......"

Timur did not hesitate to say: "For the sake of the Khan and the Turks, I will not be at a loss even if I am killed." ”

His words moved the Khan a little, so Fang asked with a solemn face: "Timur, then what are you going to do in the Zhou army camp?" ”

Timur had obviously already thought of a plan, and he puffed up his chest and said, "Khan, I sent an envoy to the Zhou army camp this time to find out their reality...... We can first negotiate with them in the name of peace negotiations to stabilize the morale of the troops. Now that the Zhou army has won a great victory, if they have the ability to continue fighting, they will definitely not make peace. ”

"However, if they run out of food, they will most likely take advantage of this favorable opportunity to cease war with us. As long as they are willing to come out for peace talks, it means that the Zhou army's food and grass may no longer be able to hold on, and we should continue to besiege the original city and the Zhou army's camp, and wait for the Zhou army to run out of food. This trick can be described as a combination of virtual and real, and it must be able to find out the details of Zhou Jun. Timur said.

The Khan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed feasible. So he told him to set out tomorrow.

After Timur rested for the night, he rode to the camp of the Zhou army in the mountains with two attendants early the next morning, and asked to see Yuming again as an envoy.

This time, it was Yu Xuan who led it, and he brought Timur to Yu Ming's tent.

At this time, there were Guo Yi, Lin Mo and others sitting in the big tent.

After Timur entered the camp, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute his fists according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, and then said politely: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Timur has come to negotiate peace with your army on behalf of the Khan of my family this time. ”

"Oh? Is it? Do you want to make peace too? Yu Ming asked coldly.

Hearing the cold meaning in Yu Ming's words, Timur only felt chills all over his body, and then forcefully said, "Your Majesty, you did win one game first. However, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and at present, our army still has 600,000 people, and the strength is still above your army. If you fight with all your might, I am afraid that you may not be able to win. However, my Khan felt that if this continued, there would be no benefit except for a sharp increase in casualties on both sides, so he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the steppe. As long as Your Majesty promises me to the Turks and assign the four counties of Loufu, Dingxiang, Mayi, and Yanmen to the Turks, as well as the Hetao region, the Khan will immediately lead his army back, and the two sides will get along amicably from now on, and my Great Turks will also recognize Your Majesty as the lord of the Central Plains, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”

Timur felt that this condition was indeed cheap, and if the Zhou army really ran out of food and had no intention of fighting again, he would definitely agree to his own conditions.

Therefore, he was waiting for Yu Ming's reply to observe Zhou Jun's confidence.

Yu Ming laughed when he heard this, and Guo Yi and Lin Mo also laughed.

"Are you finished?" Yu Ming asked with a restrained smile.

"That's it!" Timur hurriedly replied.

"Good! You're good to go! Yuming said unceremoniously.

When Timur heard Yuming's reply, he almost fainted. And at the same time he was angry in his heart, he was a little frightened in his heart, because Yu Ming's reply was really too arrogant and domineering. This shows that he must have a lot of confidence, otherwise An would dare to speak to himself like this?

As the king of a country, he speaks so arrogantly, if Yuming is not an idiot, then most of them have something to rely on. Just like when he first came to the envoy, Yuming's "If you want to fight, I will fight!" Six words, it is full of passion and confidence.

However, he replied today with a kind of contempt and disdain when he let himself go.

Yu Ming doesn't even want to talk to him now, doesn't he think this battle will be won? So full of confidence?

Of course, Timur didn't roll, and if he went back like this, he wouldn't have spared him if he shot the Khan first.

So, he looked at Yu Ming with wide eyes, and plucked up his courage to say: "Your Majesty, don't forget: we still have 600,000 troops, although you also have 500,000 troops, but if you want to fight with us all the time, you will pay a heavy price, I don't believe you can't even see this!" There is an old saying in the Central Plains that if you kill a thousand enemies, you will injure yourself eight, which must be suitable for our situation today. ”

Yu Ming listened, but laughed and said, "If this sentence was said during your last visit." Maybe I'll think about it. Because at that time, I just wanted you to get out of the Central Plains and stop harassing and infringing on the Central Plains' surname. But now, you don't have the capital to negotiate with me......"

"Besides, you have done so many bad things in the Central Plains, which can be described as heinous crimes, and it is difficult to write about them, if I let you return safely, how can I be worthy of the surname Hedong who has suffered for more than a month? Up to now, you have been defeated, and you are still trying to occupy our Hetao area, as well as the four places of Dingxiang, Mayi, Loufu and Yanmen. It's really a big joke in the world, it can be said that the sky is high and the earth is thick! To be honest, it's not impossible to negotiate peace, but you have to agree to one condition, otherwise I will never talk to you again. Yu Ming snorted coldly.

Timur was also angry when he heard him speak so rudely, but remembering the lesson of the last time, he had to hold back his anger and ask, "What conditions does Your Majesty have?" ”

"Withdraw from Hedong, and then cede the land east of Jinshan to me Da Zhou." Yu Ming said lightly.

Timur finally couldn't help it, and he said angrily: "Then you might as well say that we will also cede our Turkic tent to you." ”

Yu Ming smiled and said, "If you and Shot Kui both agree to do this, I naturally don't want to object, so I can only accept it calmly." ”

Timur was furious.

Jinshan is the dividing line between the original ****** and the Western Turks, and if all the places east of Jinshan are ceded to Yuming, wouldn't it be half of the Turks with both hands? This Yuming is not only unwilling to give up half of the land east of the river, but also wants to occupy half of the Turkic country, how can Timur not be mad with anger?

It seems that this Yuming has no sincerity to negotiate at all, and wants to continue fighting. Timur thought to himself.

So, he was angry and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you don't regret your wrong decision today!" ”

Yu Ming said word by word: "What I said, I will never take it back!" I will never regret what I have done! ”

He looked calm and relaxed, and it seemed that he had won the battle. Timur couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, so he turned around and left.

Yuming waited for Timur to leave, and then said, "It seems that the shooting is already in a hurry, and he can't wait." ”

Lin Mo also nodded and said, "He called Tiemur to come to find out our details. But I didn't expect this to reveal their weak heart. ”

At this moment, Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly came in from outside the tent, and then said with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, great joy!" After General Li Jing broke through the Western Turkic tent, he crossed the Jinshan and broke through the ****** tent, and now they have swept away dozens of Turkic settlements on the steppe, and many tribes that originally submitted to the Turks have expressed their willingness to submit to our Great Zhou! ”

"Haha! It's finally time to wait! Yu Ming got up at this time and said, "Inform Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin that they can start acting, and let's attack too!" This time, it is time to solve the Turkic border problem once and for all. ”

The Zhou army finally launched a general attack, and this time, Yuming had no reservations. Various elite troops and new weapons such as the Modao Army, the Ironclad Cavalry, the Catapult, and the Lianzhu Ballista are all on display. In a battle outside the original city, the Turkic army was defeated, and the Khan had to retreat north to the city of Mayi, relying on the solidity of this city to barely stabilize his position.

It was already night when they entered the city, but the Zhou army still pursued closely until they reached the city.

After the Khan and his party entered the city guard mansion for a while, Timur Fang comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mayi City has been specially repaired by the Zhou Dynasty, although it is not as good as Luoyang, Chang'an, Jiangdu and other big cities in the world, but it is very strong, the city wall is high and thick, we can defend it!" ”

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a deafening explosion coming from outside, and a scorching wave of air rushed towards his face, shaking the tiles of the house they were in.

"What's going on?" The Khan asked, shocked.

"My subordinates will send someone to inquire immediately!" Timur hurriedly agreed.

He then hurried out of the room, leading a few guards to the place where the voice had come from.

However, after only a cup of tea, Timur hurried back, and as he ran, he shouted to the room: "Khan, something is wrong! ”

As soon as the Khan heard this, he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly asked, "Timur, what happened?" Are you so panicked? ”

"Yu Ming has led a large number of Zhou cavalry and infantry into the city of Mayi, our army is now in chaos, it is no longer possible to organize effective resistance, and many people have fled from the city!"

The Khan gasped, and he grabbed Timur's shirt and said, "Didn't you say that the walls of this Mayi City are strong? How did the enemy break through as soon as he launched an attack? What is your intention to ask me to take refuge in the city of Mayi? ”

Timur said with a sad face: "Khan, the enemy used an explosive clay pot, piled it in front of the city gate, and then detonated it. Although the walls of Mayi City were strong, the gates could not be as thick as the city walls, so they were blown open! ”

"! Prepare my horses and get ready to get out of the city!" The Khan couldn't help but scold. He naturally knew that fighting with the Zhou army in the city could only be the result of the annihilation of the entire army.
