"Don't want to fight?" Zhao Yong and Shi Guobing looked at each other, and at the same time showed a look of surprise, and said, "But as long as they fight again, we can't support it." ”

Geng Bingwen looked at his two capable subordinates, tirelessly selling Guanzi, and said, "Indeed, we don't have the strength to resist their next attack. But rest assured, they won't attack us again. ”

At this moment, Zhao Yong and Shi Guobing were even more confused, they fought for a day and a night, attacked nine times in a row, and they were about to succeed, but when they were about to kick the door, they suddenly stopped fighting, what is the situation, and they couldn't help but ask at the same time: "Why?" ”

At first, Geng Bingwen was also puzzled, but he was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and after a little thought, he understood the intentions of the thieves of the Western Domain, still squinting his eyes and wiping his beard, but at this time, there was no longer any smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and said lightly: "Because their goal is not us." ”

Fifty miles east of Jiuquan City, Zhu Ao was marching with 45,000 men and horses, and suddenly, Zhu Ao raised the whip in his hand and stopped the team.

Qu Neng behind him was very puzzled, urged the horse to take two steps forward, walked behind Zhu Ao, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, why don't you leave?" Changxinghou is still waiting for us to rescue, they are afraid that they are already in a hurry. ”

Zhu Ao had a very important judgment in his heart, although he thought that his judgment was right, but after all, this was his first time on the battlefield, and it was better to be steady in everything, so it was necessary for him to ask for the opinion of Qu Neng, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, glanced at Qu Neng, and said in an humble tone: "General Qu, this king has something to understand. Please also ask the general for advice. ”

Qu Neng hurriedly clenched his fists and bent over, and said with a panicked face: "The last general doesn't dare to be, just ask what Your Highness wants to ask, the last general must know everything and say everything." ”

Zhu Ao raised his head and glanced ahead, his eyes were full of depth and worry, and he said slowly: "If this king gives you nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses, and asks you to attack a city that is surrounded by flat land and only more than 3,000 people are stationed, how long will you be able to take it?" ”

Qu Neng didn't think about it, snorted arrogantly, and said confidently: "I can't use it for half a day." ”

Zhu Ao glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "This is exactly what this king is worried about. ”

Qu Neng woke up like a dream, he didn't expect this young prince to have such a strong insight, looking at Zhu Ao's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and said, "The prince means that they are besieging the city to help?" ”

Zhu Ao saw Qu Neng's expression, and knew that he had agreed with his own point of view, and said more firmly: "Yes, if they attack Jiuquan with all their might, Jiuquan City will probably be finished long ago, and there is no need for us to rescue at all." ”

Qu Neng swallowed his saliva, with a slight nervous look on his face, and said, "If that's the case, then they must have laid a trap and waited for us." ”

Zhu Ao's brain was spinning rapidly in the braincase, he was a person who never accepted his fate, and always thought that no matter how unfavorable the situation was, there was always the best way to deal with it, and after a while, he said to Qu Neng with a determined face: "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder." The king has a way to deal with his besieged city and send reinforcements. ”

Qu Neng admired this young vassal king more and more, he, a person who had fought for half his life, had not yet come up with a countermeasure, this vassal king who had never been on the battlefield actually came up with a solution so quickly, and couldn't help but humbly ask: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the countermeasure?" ”

Zhu Ao hooked his hand at him, motioned for him to come up, and then quietly told him his plan.

Qu Neng couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a frightened face: "Your Highness, how can this be? ”

Zhu Ao stretched out his hand to signal him to silence, and said lightly: "This is the only way." ”

Fifty miles away, on the outskirts of Jiuquan City. A white-haired old man with gray hair said to another gorgeously dressed old man with a dissatisfied expression: "I said King Hami, this Jiuquan City is about to be captured, why did you withdraw your troops again?" ”

The gorgeously dressed old man is the current Hami King Wu Na Li, and the Ming Dynasty records that it is Nahuli, and the following are all called Nahuli.

Nahuri is a descendant of Chagatai, Hami was originally a part of Chagatai, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Chagatai Khanate also began to split, Nahuri, who was then the mighty king of Hami, cut off the throne and set up his own door. Interestingly, this Nahuri later changed his name to a king, also called King Su.

In order to distinguish it from the protagonist Zhu Ao, we will call him King Hami below.

King Hami had a strong strength during the Hongwu period, and even asked for exchanges with the Ming Dynasty in Ningxia, Pingliang, and Yan'an. According to the original historical records, this Hami king relied on his own ability, and actually dared to argue with Lao Zhu, and was taught a lesson by Lao Zhu, so he became honest.

However, due to the arrival of Zhu Ao, this history has quietly changed, and King Hami is stronger than recorded in history, and has never been taught a lesson, so he is very arrogant.

Nahuri, the king of Hami, said to the white-haired old man with gray hair: "The king of the sandbank does not need to worry, this king is in the next big game of chess, and he is guaranteed to let the king of the sandbank return with a full load." ”

This gray-haired white-haired old man was none other than the King of Shazhou, who was as famous as King Hami, Aru Gosuri. Arugosuri was also a Mongol nobleman, which shows how much foundation Genghis Khan laid back then, and his descendants have always had great influence around the world for hundreds of years.

Aluge snorted coldly, pursed his lips, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "The fruits of victory are just around the corner, the soldiers have fought for a day and a night, and they are in need of food and treasure, why did you make them give up the treasure at their fingertips?" ”

The king of Hami was about to speak, but he heard a crisp voice singing: "Does the king of the sandbank know how to put a long line to catch a big fish?" ”

The speaker was the daughter of King Hami, Princess Dilinaza of Shao'an, and since Chagatai has been basically Islamized, and the local Mongolian ethnic group has been highly integrated with the local ethnic Uyghurs, they will also borrow each other's languages when choosing names.

Here is a brief introduction to the Uyghur people, whose origins are from the Uighur people of the Mongolian plateau, and the other is the indigenous people of the southern Xinjiang oases, and the word Uyghur means union.

Because Xinjiang was ruled by the Uighurs for a long time, especially the Gaochang homeland centered on Urumqi, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which occupied Xinjiang, was collectively referred to as the Uighurs in the early Ming Dynasty.

The meaning of the name of Di Linaza is probably a beloved woman with a flower-like appearance, she is known as the first beauty in Kansai, with a beautiful face and an impeccable figure, which can be said to be worthy of the name; The most important thing is that she is also a resourceful person, and often helps King Hami with advice. Nakhuri, king of Hami, often told people that his daughter was more useful than his five sons.
