The envoys sent from Cairo were waiting for Ding Yi to receive them, and they wandered around the barracks under various pretexts. And it seems that the Ming army did not have much defense against this. In addition to the battalion of the guard regiment and the battalion of the marines, there were basically two black regiments and two Egyptian regiments, and the members of the envoy regiment entered and exited several times.

"Those black slaves can't do it, one by one they are sick and wilted." Several of the main figures of the mission gathered together and exchanged in a low voice what they had observed, "The natives who were recruited by the Ming were just as listless, and I took the time to ask their soldiers, almost all of them had fallen ill before, and after His Highness the Ming had come down, he had his students distribute very valuable medicines, and they were cured. ”

The messenger who claimed to be sent by the caliph listened, pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "The Ming people are capable, and the plague can be cured. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to get them to the plague again. However, these soldiers have not recovered yet, and this is our chance! ”

And the Mamluk, who was the envoy of the Sultan, frowned: "How can you collect so much information? ”

"There is a very problematic here, that His Highness is a figure not to be taken lightly, will he really believe that we are pinning our hopes on peace talks, and will not focus on the army to fight again? I think we still have to be cautious and not draw conclusions too lightly, so as not to send some wrong information to the Cairo side. ”

The question is whether they are in the right position and can make the right decisions. This Mamluk emissary, who claimed to be the emissary of the caliphate, his true identity. He was the sheikh of Cairo, and he had under his command thousands of Mamluk cavalry loyal to him.

His opinion. Naturally, it was more powerful than the emissary of the Sultan.

"Easy? You ask them every message. It was all collected by bribing the soldiers! ”

"You just want to send our heirs of the Bohaili family to the Ming people to torture and kill!" The chieftain, who pretended to be the Caliphate's emissary, was from the Berhairi family, and he was excited, "How did our ancestors repel the Tatars?" Did you rely on sending your own warriors to the Tatars to slaughter them, and then ask them to retreat? ”

The Sultan's envoys had no choice but to repeatedly question the personnel of the mission who had gone to gather information. After verifying the process of obtaining information many times, it is indeed not like a trap specially set by the Ming army, because the camp of the Egyptians is not easy to enter, and the camp of the black is relatively much more lax, and the cost of some money is much less.

"Black slaves have always been lazy, what discipline is there?" The chief was really impatient.

The Sultan's envoy thought about it and nodded, indicating that he had no further opinions.

"After dark. You two will secretly set off and go back to Cairo! The chieftain, disguised as a messenger, gave orders to the two members of the team who were less severely blind. Go and meet up with those of us who stayed in the oasis, and after dawn, don't spare any horsepower. Be sure to bring this news back to Cairo as much as possible! ”

"Now is the best time to go to war, if we wait for these thousands of black slaves and Egyptians to recover. Suez City will be the same as before, it will be difficult to break! And the ships of the Ming army were also much less. Chances are: they're going to bring more soldiers! Did you write it down? ”

"It's all written down!" The two members of the mission were not simple characters, they were both elite athletes in the Mamluk army.

So after receiving the order, he began to sneak out while it was dark.

However, their actions were discovered by the Ming army, so one was shot in the leg on the spot, but the other fled along the way.

The Ming army soon surrounded the embassy from Cairo, and several heads of the mission finally saw Ding Yi, but they were only tied with their hands behind their backs and knelt in front of Ding Yi. The chief of the Berhairi clan laughed triumphantly, "Kill us!" Akito, you're all going to die here! If you flee, the Mamluk navy will also let you die in the Red Sea! ”

Ding Yi looked at the chieftain and did not speak, and after a while, he laughed and waved people to escort the messenger down.

"Rujin doesn't question him?" Xu Bin was a little puzzled.

Ding Yi smiled and said: "I'm not here to teach in Egypt, my IQ is so low, what can I know?" ”

Although Xu Bin didn't understand the word teaching, he could still understand the approximate meaning, and he couldn't help but nod his head.

Then the messenger of the Sultan cried out: "Great Highness! Great Highness! I have something to say! ”

So the guards looked at Ding Yi and waved, and then escorted the messenger back to Ding Yi.

"Your Highness has deliberately allowed our men to escape, and if both of them succeed in escaping and returning to Cairo, the Sultan will surely find this information too easy to obtain, and will certainly scrutinize it; And if only one person escapes, seeing his companion captured must be more credible, and this information is even more precious! ”

Ding Yi and Xu Bin looked at each other and smiled, the latter shook his head and said: "Your Highness's plan is exactly the same, I can't imagine that among the barbarians, there can be someone who can understand!" "He made a bet with Ding Yi before, saying that where did anyone in this mission know Ding Yi's plan? Don't be so careful, don't be self-defeating. But it is clear that he was wrong, every nation has smart people.

"What's your name?"

"Great Highness, my name is Shreif."

Ding nodded: "What news do you think you can exchange for me for a chance to live?" ”

Shreif thought about it and smiled bitterly, because he was a smart person, he knew everything.

Ding Yi was able to arrange this plan, which means that the Ming side already knew that the Egyptians were focusing on the Mamluk army; And deliberately releasing this news and letting them go back to report the news, that is, they know that the Cairo side is terrified of the destruction of the thousands of cavalry that have been Ismailia, and it will be difficult for the Cairo side to have the courage to march with the current strength before the army is assembled.

The Ming army did this and released such false news in order to embolden the Sultan of Cairo and to give the Sultan courage.

So what valuable information does he have to use in exchange for his own life?

Looking at this posture, Ding Yi is going to kill someone.

When the Ming army came here, it was the posture of the upper country to be held accountable, and there was nothing to pay attention to.

"Shreif has the most sincere loyalty to the Great Highness!" The messenger of the Sultan, after thinking about it, left the old master behind.

Because apart from selling himself and taking refuge, he really couldn't think of any other way to survive.

Ding Yi smiled and nodded: "Loyalty is a treasure that will not be too much, it can indeed be exchanged for a life." ”

"Give him a knife and let him kill the rest of the mission."

"Or let him kill himself."

Ding Yi looked at Shi Ruiyi, who had stuffed a knife in his hand, with great interest, and even with some expectation: "Maybe you can try to do it to me, if you can coerce me, maybe you can let my subordinates release all of you, this is definitely an opportunity worth trying." ”

And Ding Yi also instructed the guards on the side: "If he moves against me, no one can stop him." ”

Shi Ruiyi looked at the knife in his hand, hesitated for about a second, knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Yi and said, "Shi Ruiyi would rather kill himself than raise the knife to His Great Highness!" Then he strode out, and expletives began to be heard outside the door.

"Just let him kill two." Ding Yi commanded the fat man indifferently.

Loyal? To hell, maybe Shi Ruiyi is very smart, but loyalty is such a thing, everyone here can really see that there is really nothing! Just now he encouraged Shi Ruiyi to do it to himself, not that Ding Yi wanted to pretend to be forced, nor that he had another attack on the sequelae of battlefield trauma.

It is a psychological tactic, so that Shi Ruiyi, who has no loyalty at all, is used to not daring to figure out Ding Yi's thoughts. It was impossible for him to judge Ding Yi's true intentions, it was very simple, Ding Yi didn't believe him, and even letting him kill the rest of the mission was just part of the strategy.

After Shi Ruiyi stabbed two members of the mission to death, he was stopped by the guards and took him down.

And the chieftain disguised as a caliphate's messenger was brought up.

This person is more bloody, even if he sees his companion die tragically in front of him, even if he sees the renegade Shi Ruiyi and was able to save his life, he still did not give in, and still scolded the Ming officials present. Xu Bin smiled: "This person is stupid, but he is loyal." ”

Ding Yi had a kinder attitude towards this chief: "As the head of the mission, you did not bind the people below to obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but instead connived at them to spy on the military situation, and also tried to make people spread the word to Cairo, what should you do?" ”

"Isn't it death?" The chief laughed, struggling to shake off the soldiers of the guard regiment and stood up, although he didn't succeed, he still held his head high, "Isn't the Ming Kingdom coming to kill all the heirs of the Bohaili line!" Anyway, it's all dead, I'm dead, and you Mingren will die too! ”

Ding Yi shook his head: "It's not good to kill you now." ”

"Akito! You're scared! Hahahaha! The chief laughed, and he thought that this was Ding Yi's timidity.

As they were taken together, the chief incited the members of the messengers, and although they knew that they were about to face death, there was an air of tragedy, it should be said.

In the early morning of the second day, they were escorted out and went all the way to the banks of the Suez Canal.

Groups of soldiers in black combat uniforms landed silently and orderly from the castle-like fleet.

After watching for half an hour, the soldiers on the fleet were not finished.

"Nope! O Allah! We have harmed the Sultan! The chief screamed, not for his own death, but because his death, meaningless, and even being used by the Ding family. (To be continued......)
