Abu. After disarming and single-handedly coming to the front of Haidar's army to ask for surrender, Akis finally stopped the order for Haidar to attack, and he walked to the front with two guards cavalry, ready to fight with Abu. Aggis negotiated surrender.

When Haidar pushed his mask, Abu. Only then did Agis discover that it was Hedar, the son of Andijan Burke, who had betrayed him, who led this army to besiege him. Because of this person, he not only lost his subordinates, but also became a laughing stock in the mouths of everyone, which can be described as a loss of face.

Therefore, when he recognized Haydar, he almost lost his mind, if he hadn't reached out and touched the air around his waist, he would have probably urged the horse to rush forward desperately when he saw Haydar's face.

Haidar had apparently discovered Abu. Agis was angry with himself, so he immediately grabbed the reins and said, "Prince Abu, don't be impulsive, if your actions misunderstand my subordinates, your companions behind you will suffer." The cavalry of the Guards, having laid down their arms, was no different from a sheep in front of a heavily armed army. ”

Abu. Agis's eyes were fixed on Haidar, and it took a long time for his mood to stabilize a little, and he looked at the other party with a gloomy face and mocked, "Isn't that the ending exactly what you expected?" Me and my men are dying here, so you don't have to worry about anyone seeking revenge on you. ”

For Abu. Akith's resentment, Haidar quite understood, after he was betrayed by his own brother, his mood was the same as the other party's mood at this time. What they hated in their hearts at this time was not to defeat their enemies, but to betray their own people at a critical moment.

It was Haydar to Abu. Agis's words of indignation did not go to his heart, but nodded sympathetically and said: "I can understand Prince Abu's anger towards me now, but Prince Abu will know in the future, in fact, you should be grateful to me." ”

Abu. Agis, who had never seen such a brazen person as Haidar, said angrily and with a smile, "Hehe, you betrayed me, but you still want my gratitude. Heydar, are you crazy, or am I crazy? ”

Haidar replied calmly: "Prince Abu, can you answer me honestly a question?" If it weren't for my betrayal, would you have been able to defeat the combined forces of the Mongols and Yarkand that day? ”

Abu. Aggis was silent for a long time, and then said a little unwillingly: "Even if you can't, you won't lose so badly." If the army in Andijan had been able to move that day, the Mongols and Yarkands, even if they had won, would not have been able to advance any further step towards Kokand. ”

Haidar nodded and said, "Prince Abu is right, if the Andijanians fight to protect the city of Andijan and cooperate with your army to attack the coalition forces inside and outside, maybe the coalition forces will be greatly damaged."

But by that time, will you, Prince Abu, and your men still be able to leave the battlefield alive? And we Andijanians do everything we can to keep the Kokand people safe, why? ”

Haidar's words made Abu. Ajis was speechless for a moment, the Bukhara Khanate was an incomplete feudal regime, and the lords were a native king in their own territory, and the lords were loyal to their lords rather than to the Bukhara Khan.

My subordinates, not my subordinates; The sovereign of my sovereign, not my sovereign. It was the essence of the feudal system of the Bukhara Khanate. This also made the Yarkand Khanate's invasion of the Bukhara Khanate, except for the princes and nobles of Bukhara and the city of Andijan, which was directly attacked by the Yarkand army, the lords of other regions did not have much interest in assisting the city of Andijan.

Even the city of Kokand, which is not very far from Andijan, did not immediately think of sending troops to rescue the Andijanians, but set up barricades on the edge of the territory to prevent enemies from invading their territory.

How can the Kokands be expected to sacrifice themselves for the safety of Kokand and the Bukhara Khanate?

But the heart is clear, and the heart is clear, Abu. Agis was also unwilling to acquiesce in front of Haidar, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "Even if the Andijanians are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for the khanate, this is not a reason for you to defect to the Yarkand and betray me, right?" ”

Haidar looked left and right, and motioned for the two knights of the guard beside him to step back. Aguis left a room for a separate conversation.

After watching the knight of the guard retreat, Haidar looked at Abu. "Yes," said Agis, "I have nothing to argue with myself in betraying you. So, I'd like to give you a sincere suggestion to resolve this little grudge between us, what do you think? ”

Abu. Aguis subconsciously turned his head to look at the subordinates who were sitting or lying on the ground behind him, and finally succumbed to reality, nodded to Haidar and said, "Well, I swear in the name of the true god, as long as the advice you gave me does help me, then I will forget everything you have done to me in the past." ”

Haidar chuckled lightly, and then said: "Your father is really pitiful, he did not know until the moment of defeat, it was not the Yarkands, the Mongols and the Kyrgyz who defeated him, but the Ming who stood behind them. ”

Abu. Agis's face finally changed a little, as a country lying on the Silk Road, the people of the Bukhara Khanate did not lack knowledge of China. However, China is too far away from the Bukhara Khanate, so the Bukharans have always regarded the rumors of this powerful and wealthy country as legends, and they do not think that this country will become their neighbor.

However, when the Chinese reappeared, they easily drove the Mongols, Yarkands, and Kyrgyz as their own precursors, bringing blood and fire to the Ferghana Basin, which undoubtedly resurfaced some ancient legends. In the mind of Aggies.

In the Bukhara Khanate, there are many legends about the Chinese, and the older the legend, the more vicious the Chinese. And the closer to modern times, the depiction of the Chinese becomes a weak image of rich but unskilled martial arts, and it is said that they have recently been suppressed and beaten by a small country in the north for more than two decades.

Because of these latest rumors, after the increase in Chinese caravans on the Silk Road in recent years, the lords of Bukhara regarded these Chinese merchants as weak objects to be bullied, and demanded additional tribute from passing Chinese caravans at every turn.

But when the Chinese descended on the territory of the Bukhara Khanate with blood and fire, the image of the weak and deceitful Chinese suddenly disappeared, and the image of the fierce Chinese warriors in ancient legends quickly disappeared in Abu. Aggies' heart stood up.

It was also at this time that Abu. It was only then that Agis realized why those Mongols had so much armor, which was apparently provided to them by the rich Chinese.

"Why is Ming attacking us... Forget it, let's talk about what your advice is for me. "Abu. Agith glanced at Haidar and then changed his tune. He didn't think that a general like Haidar would be able to know the reason for the Ming to attack the Bukhara Khanate.

For Abu. Ages' contempt, Haydar pretended not to know. After this war is over, it is necessary for him to plan for his future. In fact, he doesn't know much about the reason why the Ming Dynasty launched this war, but he has understood these days that Ma Shouying, the commander of the Yarkand Army who he took refuge in, still has a relatively low status in the Ming army, and it is really difficult to compare with Arslan, who took refuge with his father and younger brother.

Therefore, relying on Ma Shouying would not allow him to obtain the inheritance of Andijan City. He needed a chance to be seen by the big men of the Ming army, so that he could add some help to the future struggle for control of Andijan City.

And if you want to be noticed by the big men of the Ming army, there is nothing more than to make some outstanding contributions. With this bit of power in his hands, he is not sure if he wants to conquer the city, but if he can make Abu in front of him. Aggis became the leader of the Ming army, which was really a miracle.

Abu. Aggis's father has already been identified as the next Bukhara Khan, that is to say, Abu Khan. Agis actually had the right to succeed Bukhara Khan. Such a person became the leading party of the Ming army, and it was an excellent banner for the Ming army to attack the Bukhara Khanate.

Of course, if it would be Abu. Aggis handed it in, and the credit for the future will have nothing to do with him. So Haidar wants to be with Abu. Aggis had an in-depth exchange and formed a closer relationship with the other party, so as to ensure that the other party would not cross the river and tear down the bridge and throw himself aside.

"Prince Abu, my suggestion is that the Ming people are a group of outsiders after all, and they don't know much about the Bukhara Khanate than we know about the Ming Dynasty. In such a situation, even if they conquered the entire Bukhara Khanate, they still had to rely on others to help them manage the land.

Who could the Ming people rely on to manage the conquered territories? Is it the Mongols, the Kyrgyz, the Yarkands, or those of us Bukharans who have abandoned darkness and turned to the light? I think that the Ming people may have more trust in the Mongols and Yarkands, but it is we Bukhara themselves who are best suited to manage this land.

If we insist on a tough stance against the Ming people, then the Bukhara Khanate will shed a lot of unnecessary blood. And who will benefit from such bloodshed? Of course, the land-hungry Mongols, Yarkand and Kyrgyz, the real Bukharans will be forced to leave their homeland, is this what you would like to see, Prince Abu? ”

Abu. Agis finally listened a little, and he was silent for a long time before asking, "So what?" ”
