066. The leper king sleeps, and the grassland changes again

Woo------

"Collect the bill!"

Thousands of grassland tents, with the instructions of the centurion, directed their respective subordinates and herdsmen to move.

This is a meadow in the eastern part of the Black Sea.

The herdsmen were reluctant to be suddenly ordered to abandon such fertile pastures, but the tribal adults did not have any resistance when they heard the news that Timur was coming.

After all, the lord of the alliance revered by the nobles, the invincible Khan Khuttuchi, was once again severely damaged by Timur's army last month.

The steppe chooses only the strongest.

A day later, three hundred of Timur's vanguard riders, one man and two horses, arrived.

And a wooden tablet was inserted.

"Sir Khan Timur Li."

Another day, the main force of Timur officially arrived.

Timur looked at the wooden tablet, and since she endured the power of the black dragon, she moved the steppe.

Thirty-seven battles of all sizes, each battle did not admit defeat, won or lost, all the way to today's situation.

Today's female Khan is twenty-three years old.

The heroic spirit strikes people, and the air sweeps the mountains and seas.

But in the Tatars, whose average age of marriage was thirteen years old, the female khan did not have an heir, which became a problem for the generals.

But at the moment, there are very few people who can match the female Khan, looking at the Black Sea, Central Asia, and even the Purple Chamber.

As soon as Timur's black dragon battle flag appeared, the herdsmen around this land, who did not flee, heard the wind and came to vote.

With this harvest, the herdsmen under Timur have exceeded 120,000.

On its own, it can pull out more than 10,000 troops, not counting the help of the allied Sun Khan and other friendly tribes.

After the main force took control of this grassland, the army continued to advance, and the Eastern Liao army that came into contact along the road (divided into Eastern and Western Liao by the steppe people according to geography) did not dare to resist.

Timur, who represented the Western Liao regime, stopped when his march reached the border of the Ottoman forces.

At this point, if you want to move forward, you have to start with the Ottomans.

Timur then summoned the Four Tiger Generals to discuss the meeting.

Let's see how we can beat Osman in defensive form.

And hearing that the Tatar dragon outside the borders of Chen's soldiers was coming, Gramiyan, who was defeated in the battle of Bapan last time, also ordered the northern emirs (lords) to join forces to resist.

The two sides have not yet decided whether to fight this battle or not.

And once you fight, what state will you reach?

Both sides are tempting first.

Since Timur did not take the initiative to attack, the defending Ottomans did not go out to stir up trouble.

Both sides are waiting for someone.

Timur was waiting for the messenger of the Sun Khan, while Gramiyan was negotiating with the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The life of the leper king is nearing its end.

If the Lion Psycho ascends to the throne and declares an armistice with the Ottomans, then Gramiyan will shift his center of gravity north and run the Black Sea and Central Asia.

The sixteenth day of the border of Timur Chen.

Hours. January 7, 1319.

The leper king lay on the bed, passed out and woke up again, three times in a row.

After waking up for the fourth time, he suddenly called out to the people around him to get some favorite food.

It's all fried.

This is not a good thing for a dying man, but the servant has been approved by the regent, the lion.

Aromatic food is served into the chamber of the King of Leprosy.

Led by Richard.

Because of the leprosy king's illness, it had to be separated by a curtain.

Richard handed over the food, and when the leper reached out to take it, the thin hand that almost had bones left made Richard feel distressed.

"This is really delicious, when I used to fight the Abbasids, I took this fried dough with me, and as soon as I entered the east, I almost hit Baghdad, that place is the holy land of the Abbasids, if I won the war at that time, I would still want to march into Tianzhu, if it is really done,

In another thousand years, I think my name will be sung in the history books. ”

"Father's ......"

"You, everything is good, it's just too steady, you can win quickly, you also have to be nine points sure before you are willing to make a move, it is easy to miss the opportunity, but this also means that you can keep it, I leave the holy city to you, I believe that in your life, the throne will still not change."

"After you leave, I want to make peace with the Abbasids, but the ministers oppose it, believing that the blood feud between the two crusaders is too deep."

"Then you will be king, according to your heart, the Father's book is in our hands, and we must not lose it."

Referring to the Father's holy book, the leper said, "Three years after my death, do not send an army for a mile, and after you have swept away all those who oppose you, you will be able to do as you please."

My team has become your subordinates, and without further words, I have come with the Father's holy book to vote for Fakang. Duncan, you must reuse him, and in the name of the Father's Sacred Book, you will rebuild the Knights Templar, restore Rome, and restore the glory of God. ”

As a devout believer, the Leper King was also deeply dissatisfied with the matter of Chai Subara.

"The Abbasids, though they were large, were like giants in old age, and their movements gradually became inflexible.

Although the Ottoman is small, he fights every year, and the scimitar slashes countless enemies, as long as the Osman does not change the inheritance law for a day, each generation of monarchs is killed in the sea of blood, and the most time is above the lord. ”

"Remembered."

"Also, don't change my teachings, God's grace enlightens all things, and those who believe in heresy are no different from us except in their beliefs, and when it is time to repent, they will naturally fall into the arms of the Lord, so I adopt faith and tolerance, and you must remember this."

"Remembered."

The leper ate another fried dough, and he even took the mask off.

For more than a decade, Richard hadn't seen his father's face clearly.

At this time, through the tulle tent, he saw an old father, not the heroic god of war who had caused the 100,000 Abbasid army to flee.

After the leper king had eaten all the fried dough, he said, "I'm tired......

Richard knelt down at his father, kowtowed, and left.

Three days later, news of the king's death broke.

The Holy City mourned for three days.

When a great monarch is alive, it is often not easy for people to feel his charm.

When he died, problems that weren't a problem erupted one after another.

Well-trained soldiers.

A liberal policy of faith.

Practicing frugality, the royal family of luxury is strictly prohibited.

All of this was taken for granted by the people of the kingdom.

In the following years, price fluctuations and border turmoil allowed the people to truly feel the benefits and security that the leper king brought to the kingdom.

The mourning messenger brought a letter of Al-Quds to the Ottoman Tiger.

The letter stated that the Lionheart had decided to increase the buffer zone between the two countries and retreat another fifty miles.

As a result, the pressure on the Ottoman south was greatly reduced.

This was a delaying tactic by King Lionheart, who was weak to both the Abbasids and the Uthmans when he came to power.

At this time, the messenger of Sun Khan also came to Timur's tent.

In the past, the messengers of the Sun Khan came and were warmly welcomed.

This time, however, it was different when the messenger entered the horde.

After taking out a letter about a marriage proposal.

The faces of the people changed greatly, because the person concerned was Timur.

This envoy is a relative of Sun Khan Mu Liyun, and his status is not low, and he is a nobleman who leads thousands of herdsmen.

He said to Timur, "Xi'er Khan, although you are famous and brave in the grassland, since ancient times, men have been in charge and women in the hands.

No matter how strong a woman is, she has a man to protect her, and the two are combined to reproduce the bloodline, which is the same from generation to generation.

You have been adopted as a son by my Khan, you are actually a daughter, I have been ordered by Khan to come here, I want to bring the two tribes closer together, as long as you nod your head, Sun Khan 100,000 iron horsemen, millions of herdsmen, all to help you defeat the Magyars and the Ottomans. ”

Hearing the courtship, the four tigers looked at Timur one after another.

At this time, Timur, although he was not wearing armor, was still dressed as a steppe man.

Her long hair was cut short, giving her a more masculine look.

Behind her stood two female soldiers, both with short hair.

Their husbands and sons died on the battlefield, and they were taken in by Timur as a female guard.

He is responsible for taking care of her daily life on weekdays.

The momentum between the eyebrows is not inferior to the man.

Hearing what the messenger said, Timur did not respond, but after drinking half a bag of mare's milk wine in a heroic gulp, he said,

"Thank you Sun Khan for your kindness, but at the moment of the great enemy, I think it is better to destroy the enemy first."

The messenger knew early on that it could not go so smoothly, so he said, "Xi'er Khan, you should know that the battle between the Liao Emperor was caused by Sun Khan's intervention, and the Western Liao was born. ”

Timur understood early on that there was no such thing as a free good thing in the world.

Since the alliance, Sun Khan has been giving away his favors, probably for this day, to get all back.

"Xi'er Khan, I hope you can give me an answer today, you also know that Hutuchi has withdrawn his troops and returned to Central Asia, that is his base, if he is allowed to go back, in another year or two, he can bring up tens of thousands of people."

This is coercive, and Central Asia is very close to the territory of the Sun Khan.

If Hutuchi can come again, it must be the indulgence of Sun Khan.

One of Timur's four tiger generals, Bazhen Buhua was not happy when he heard this.

"Kun Bald'er, what do you mean by this, when you said that you would give you the booty, you said generously, don't want one, don't pull one.

And now you say that you have given us favors?

Besides, you don't get any benefit?

After I Khan defeated the Black Sea Butcher, as an ally, the Sun Khan's prestige has increased greatly, and most of your men are in the rear to deter, not a single soldier or animal.

Every time I win or lose, I Khan will choose the strongest slaves, the best-looking women, the fattest horses, and send some over, but now you have come to force marriage!

What kind of sun Khan, this honorific name is also available to him?"

It's hard to talk about it, and it's not inferior.

Because he had respect and love for Timur in his heart.

"Don't spend it, pay attention to your words!"

"Pay attention to what, although they are all golden families, they are also scored, and his lineage, strictly speaking, relies on the maternal line, and it is not pure at all."

If you talk about blood, the golden bloodline that does not cost is higher than the sun sweat and Xi'er Khan.

He submitted to Timur, but did not express his approval of Mu Huayun.

In addition, his relationship with Timur was not just the lord and his subordinates.

He brought a part to vote, and he can be regarded as one of his partners.

The nobles of the steppe, with a heavier bloodline than the bright world of the West.

Therefore, although Kun Bal'er was annoyed, she couldn't refute this orthodox bloodline of Emperor Liao, and the ancestors of the past generations were looking for the intermarriage of the women of the golden family

Timur waited for his subordinates to refute before he came out to ease the atmosphere.

"Please help me get back to Sun Khan and tell him that if he cooperates with me again this time and fights a big victory, he can completely suppress the Ottoman power in Asia Minor.

Second, the Liao Dynasty will be unified, and at that time I will go to His Majesty Khan (Sugai) and give Sun Khan all kinds of treasures.

After the unification of the grasslands, the Silk Road will be in our hands.

At that time, you can go south to Tianzhu, go north to Central Asia, and go east to ......"

The title of the treasure is just a fictitious thing, and Kun Bald saw that she could not get consent, so she put down the letter and rushed back overnight.

With Timur's successive victories, Mu Liyun also sent troops to the east and occupied a lot of pastures.

When Kun Bald returned to the nearest meadow of the sun sweat, he jumped off his horse, dragged his tired steps, and went directly to the leader of the place.

is also the third son of Mu Liyun. Detachment is not a child.

This time, the marriage is for Nai.

The tribe of Sun Khan adopted the method of inheritance by young sons, with the youngest son inheriting the family business and the other sons going out to struggle.

This is also the most common inheritance method in the grassland, and the weak children are the most protected and can reproduce the bloodline.

The children who grow up go out to work hard and build a family business.

As the heir to the throne, Nabi is Chinese New Year's Eve years old, younger than his two elder brothers.

But the steppe man married early and gave birth early, and he already had four sons and two daughters.

When Kun Bald saw Naibi, she first drank mare's milk wine, and only after drinking it was flushed with red face did she say, "That woman is arrogant, she dares to say that she wants to give the title of Great Khan, and even her subordinates are not able to spend it, and she also made sarcastic remarks that Sun Khan is not qualified to call this name." I see that the boy of Hutuchi is right, Timur will be a scourge. ”

In this world, many alliances began to be like glue, but before they fulfilled their wishes, they became suspicious of each other.

Although Hutuchi was not as brave as Timur, he also knew the plan of division.

He sent people to the Muliyun tribe to express his willingness to withdraw from the Black Sea, but he also said that with the heart of Timur's wolf, the pace of conquest would not stop.

Drive yourself like a dog now, and the next day you will kill the sun and the sweat of the sacrificial flag.

If Sun Khan did not believe him, he sent someone to consult with Timur about peace, and Timur not only would not agree, but would also mock him.

If Timur can agree, then he will immediately abolish the Liao Emperor, fully respect the Sun Khan as the Khan, and become the new Liao Emperor.

The idea of calling Emperor Liao was too tempting, Mu Liyun believed Hu Tuchi's words a little, and his young son fell in love with this strange woman with both a good name and a martial name, so he really sent someone to talk about it, wanting to see Timur's reaction.

When Naibi heard Kun Bald say that Bazhen did not scold himself for being a dog, he was furious and immediately ordered 3,000 troops to march west to teach these Tatars a good lesson.

These forces were not enough to attack Timur.

But Sun Khan was the nominal commander-in-chief of Western Liao, and Timur was under his control.

Naibi planned to subdue all the Western Liao coalition forces along the road on the orders of his father Khan, and personally reprimanded Timur, and he was even confident that no one would dare to stop him.

His troops, after eight days' march, rested in a watered place when they found Timur's men.

Among these tribesmen, there was a young girl who would have insulted the girl in the presence of the heavens and the earth and the sun, and killed more than thirty herdsmen, and let only every child whose body was higher than the wheels go back.

All the cattle and sheep were taken by him.

When the escaped child came back and cried out to Timur.

And Timur knew that he would do a foolish thing.

Although she loves her subordinates, she also knows that if she teaches her a lesson, her cooperation with Sun Khan will be over.

But she didn't react, more than 30 herdsmen died, and four of the five children who fled back died on the way, and it was difficult for her to explain to the herdsmen.

Seeing that Timur was embarrassed, he decided to do it himself.

That night, he secretly ordered his men to set off, and found the other three tiger generals.

When they met, he drank mare's milk wine happily, and said proudly, "I am proud of the golden family, but I also respect the warriors, you and Khan are both I admire, and now Khan is in trouble, I should help her, I will take someone to tie up that kid."

I'm here with a trilogy, and if I leave, it's equivalent to breaking with Khan, so that Sun Khan has nothing to say.

See you next time, you and I are enemies, and today we are in a hurry. ”

After three rounds of drinking, the people who did not spend money began to leave.

Timur pretended to be drunk and did not pay the bill, and it was not until the next morning that she knew that she would know, "Alas, Bazhen should have been discussed with me." ”

All his subordinates also knew Timur's plight, and they all said, "Khan should understand his painstaking efforts." ”

Timur looked in the direction of Bazhen Buhua's departure and sighed.

Naibi rode all the way, extremely arrogant, and the troops relied on the prestige of the Sun Khan to treat the grasslands occupied by the Western Liao army, and commanded them.

Some of these lords did not belong to Timur, but were individual tribal lords, but because they were weak, they relied on Timur.

But in Nabi's heart, all the men and horses belonged to Timur.

Just when Naibi was doing his might, Bazhen Buhua finally found him.

The grassland people have a habit of traveling and adventuring, the world is so big, riding a fast horse alone, where can not be obtained.

Even if you cut it, you will run to any place at that time, and what can the sun sweat do?

Bazhen didn't spend or attack immediately, he knew that it would be a headache for these tribal masters.

He waited until the night was dark, and he and his men had poured wine with him, and then he went in.

Since they had already negotiated with the masters of this tribe in the morning, let them pretend not to know, and let themselves bring people to rush in, so that they could avoid the accountability of Sun Khan in the future.

He will be drunk, and when he wakes up, he will be reduced from an honorable heir to a prisoner of war.

"You dog, are you really afraid that the grassland people are afraid that you will not be able to get rid of the family?"

Naibi saw that he was tied up, and he was not convinced, and cursed wildly, and questioned Timur and the immediate family members of Bazhen Buhua.

He even spat on Bazhen Buhua's face.

This made Bazhen Buhua very angry, and he must not only kill the Timurid herdsmen, but also hurt a tribe with him along the way.

Bazhen does not spend wine and does not leave his hand, under the guidance of alcohol, he slashes out with a knife and cuts Naibi!

He woke up immediately.

It's not that he can't kill, but he used the most humiliating method of killing.

When the nobles of the steppe were beheaded for serious crimes, they mostly suffocated to death in cloth bags, so that not a drop of blood would be left to show that they were different from the commoners.

If you slaughter with a sword and shed blood, it means that you are no different from an animal.

"Patriarch!"

The subordinates were a little worried, this kind of killing method was known to Sun Khan once it was known......

Bazhen also sobered up, but he was not afraid, he immediately found the tribal patriarch and knocked out his teeth with one punch.

"I hurt you so that you can explain to Mu Liyun, if I dare to kill my son, I dare to fight Lao Tzu."

And he said,

"Brothers, what was my name before you forgot to vote for Timur?"

"Blue wolf."

"From the steppes to the Black Sea, there are pastures everywhere, and we have found a place for ourselves to re-establish our power."

"Okay."

Everyone thought that Bazhen Buhua was going east, but they didn't expect him to go in the direction of Tianzhu in the southeast.

To the east is the territory of the sun and sweat, and to the west it will affect Timur.

So he decided to go southeast and go to Tianzhu, the legendary country of elephants.

There are about 2,000 people in the tribe of Bazhen Buhua.

After going southeast, in half a month, I came to the "robbery" area.

This place is surrounded by high mountains, and it is not a habitable place.

When the news of Naib's killing came out, Hutu couldn't keep his mouth shut for three days when he smiled.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Knowing that Timur's Western Liao alliance might break down, Gramiyan sent someone to contact Sun Khan, if Sun Khan agreed.

Up and down the Ottomans, any woman, could be used to marry the Sun Khan.

The situation in the East has taken a new turn.

At this time, the Italian peninsula was thousands of miles away.

Brand. Chaman is working on a weapon called the "gun".

Today's craftsmanship makes it possible to create a thermal weapon with a range of tens of meters.

However, this projectile is not very destructive, and when it rains, it will be extinguished immediately if it touches the rain.

The reloading speed is also slow, and there is a risk of exploding.

Yi did not have a siege weapon like artillery.

Bran now finally has the resources to develop these things.

He ordered the recruitment of craftsmen and summoned all the outstanding craftsmen of northern Italy to the headquarters of the Hanseatic League.

If the knights alone attacked it, every time they attacked a city, they would have to be killed or wounded several times the number of troops to take it.

With this style of play, the speed of expanding the territory is too slow.

By the time of his old death, he would be able to rule the Italian peninsula at most, plus some scattered lands and islands.

II is a human being, with experience in previous lives, plus the success of printing.

Bran continues to develop new technologies.

In addition to the guns, he also told the craftsman about the memories in his mind, some objects that could improve production, and wanted to see if the craftsman could copy similar things.
