The Balu firefighter never returned, Timur Khan Abu Saiza waited left and right, and finally waited for the news, and the person was detained.

"It's too much to deceive people, send troops, I want to set foot in Tehran!"

When the news reached the city of Herat, Abu Saiza was not well.

What the Ming Dynasty did was really outrageous, and what about the two countries not going to war?

What about the state of etiquette?

Why?

We had a good life here, and you suddenly ran over and killed the Ottomans with a shot.

Okay, you kill the Ottomans, I admit it!

Anyway, Osman and I are also bitter enemies, and now it's just a change of neighbor, even if we don't get along well, the original one is not good, there is no difference.

As a result, you are not satisfied with taking the Ottomans, and you have taken the black sheep and the white sheep, and now you are still asking me to give up the Western Regions?

Are you kidding?

Most of my capital Herat is in the Western Regions, let it to you, where do I live?

There is no royal law in this world?

To say that this negotiation was not completely ineffective, at least in the territory of the Timurid Khanate, the speed of the transfer of troops increased significantly.

All the soldiers and horses from all over the country were gathered and marched towards Herat, and they were bound to fight to the death with the Ming army.

In just one month, 200,000 soldiers and horses and 300,000 people have gathered on the outskirts of Herat, and at this rate, within three months, 800,000 troops can be mobilized.

Absaiza had already made a bloody investment, because he not only had to set foot in Tehran, but also take the opportunity to recover the lost territory of the black and white sheep, and then invade the Ottoman territory in one fell swoop.

When the Ottomans attacked the Eastern Romans, Ab Seiza had the idea of getting a piece of the pie.

However, at that time, he still had to deal with some surrounding forces, and he could not divide his troops, and finally took the Delhi Sultan in the southeast and the remnants of Chagatai in the northeast, and piggybacked on the small tribes such as Aries in the west, and greatly expanded his territory, which was not much better than the Ottoman record.

The Timurid Khanate regarded itself as the heir of the Mongol Empire, and its cavalry fought everywhere all the year round, much like the style of Genghis Khan's western expedition, and now it is assembled on a large scale, and the scene is magnificent.

Muharda, the Minister of War, came to report: "Great Khan, return from the horses, the Ming army stationed in Constantinople has left for Tehran. ”

Abu Saiza asked: "How many?" ”

"There were about 50,000 people, but most of them were former Ottoman troops."

Ab Saiza sneered: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is treacherous and cunning, and he requisitioned the Ottomans to take the lead in order to reduce the casualties of the main force. ”

"Great Khan, how do you know?"

"Nonsense, we've always been like this!"

Muharda: ......

Abu Saiza continued: "They are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and even if the Ottomans take the lead, it will not change the outcome of this war. ”

Muharda nodded and said: "The Great Khan is right, the twenty thousand households in the central part have arrived in Herat, and the border armies of all roads are also on the way, and our number is more than ten times that of the other party, and Tehran will be razed to the ground." ”

"Tehran is just the beginning, the next step is to divide the troops to attack the territory of Black Sheep and White Sheep, and the Chinese army will go all the way to the west to Constantinople!"

——

Tehran City, Zhu Qiyu has arrived.

"Brother Emperor, the courtiers have brought all the garrisons of Constantinople, a total of 50,000."

After all, the Ming Dynasty had only captured the Ottomans for a few months, and it was impossible to recruit all local troops, otherwise, even unified management would be a problem.

More importantly, now that we have entered the era of firearms, there are not many soldiers, and the tactics of relying on the number of people to pass recklessly have withdrawn from the stage of history.

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the map and asked: "I have sent the news back, but Timur is traversing the middle, and there is no instant communication, and the two sides can only fight on their own, and it is difficult to form a cooperation. ”

Zhu Qiyu persuaded: "Brother Huang, don't worry, there is no shortage of capable generals in my Ming Dynasty, and there has been no defeat in recent years, and it is no problem to fight against Timur's army." ”

"That's all there is to it now."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The first wave of the offensive will be launched in Tehran, you now arrange people to build fortifications, the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, you can't let them rush up, dig trenches, the more the better." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "The matter of digging trenches has been arranged, and now everyone is waiting for the imperial brother to arrange tactics." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "I don't want to get too involved in the arrangement of troops, let Li Zhen be responsible!" ”

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised, the decisive battle was imminent, and the imperial brother actually stopped picking a son?

"The stakes are very high in this battle, and the younger brother thinks that it is safer to be commanded by the imperial brother himself."

"Three thousand battalions follow me, I don't know how many battles have been fought, and it is time to practice, let Li Zhen command!"

To tell the truth, he didn't have much military talent in the first place, and he relied on the experience of later generations, constantly improving his weapons, and giving techniques and tactics that were ahead of this era, so that he could win all battles.

Lao Tzu is the emperor, he can't lead you to war every day, and he should retreat into the background.

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand a little, but he knew that the imperial brother's arrangement must have some deep meaning, so he didn't continue to insist.

"Brother Huang, what do you need your brother to do?"

"You...... Be in charge of logistics, a large-scale war is about logistics and supply, this is a laborious errand, can you afford it? ”

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the younger brother will live up to his mission!" ”

The order was passed down, and everyone began to prepare nervously, but Li Zhen came to the door.

"Your Majesty, in terms of arranging troops, the ministers are not as good as the emperor, please ask the emperor to give an order in person!"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Li Zhen, you have followed me to the north and south, and have experienced countless battles large and small, do you still need me to personally ask about this matter?" ”

Li Zhen lowered her head and said, "The minister is just ...... Don't dare to advocate ......"

"Afraid of what? Could it be that you are worried that you will not be able to beat it, and I will punish you? ”

"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of those Mongols, it's just ...... I always feel that you are in front of you, and I am here to order, and my heart is not steady. ”

"You can rest assured that the command is, I will respond in the middle, and the king will take care of the logistics and supplies for you, what else do you want?"

Li Zhen was even more at a loss and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified......

"Can I still take you to fight for the rest of your life?"

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said: "I have thought about it, the major events in the DPRK and China have been thrown for too long, and I think that the hundred officials have already complained, after this battle, it is difficult to talk about what will not come out in the future, if there is another war, it will depend on you." ”

Of course, Li Zhen understands that the emperor still has a lot to do, and he can't fight outside all the time.

"The minister knows how to do it!"

"It's good to know, the enemy army has the advantage in numbers, and this battle must be fought with momentum and defeat them head-on!"

"Obey the order!"
