Indeed, it is time for all the forces in West Asia to act.

Just five days after Timur stopped attacking Taerban, Ahmet, the leader of the Zarayir tribe who claimed to be Ilhan, raided Tabriz with thousands of cavalry.

The Ilkhanate was rebuilt.

In other words, this is a harmony that the two khanates have never had......

Well, the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde have actually not stopped killing each other since they were established, and even the destruction of the Ilkhanate was done by the Golden Horde.

But now they're finally hand in hand.

At this time, Timur had to look angrily at his grandson's head in the mountains of the Caucasus......

He knew, of course, that there was also a road through the Caucasus Mountains.

Therefore, after the loss of nearly 10,000 yuan in the strong attack on Erban, he finally used the Chechens as guides to enter this lofty mountain.

He thought that all he needed to face was the treacherous natural environment, but he did not expect that the Ossetians, who were like fish to him, chose to join forces with the Georgians and block his path with a hastily constructed wall in the middle of this majestic mountain. At this moment, this is very simple, in fact, it is a simple city wall with stones and mud piled up in a random manner, and even reinforced with logs in some places, and the length is only a few dozen horses connected end to end, but it locks his grand hegemony......

"This is God's will, and God is punishing me for the killing of believers over the years."

Now in his sixties, he suddenly said with a bitter face like a dying old man.

On this wall was a flagpole with the head of his grandson Mir, and the opponents, of course, did not show it off to him, but told him that they would fight to the last man.

And that's exactly what happened.

At this moment, his soldiers, who were frantically attacking this wall, were fighting with the Georgians and Ossetians on the wall, on the hills on both sides of the wall, wherever they could go up.

I say that all the places that can be climbed are because the vast majority of places cannot be accessed.

"Towering mountains, towering into the sky like Tielek Daban!"

He looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him.

"It seems to be higher."

He went on to say.

"Sultan, their mythology, says that in ancient times there was a god who stole fire from heaven to earth, and was nailed to this mountain by the king of the gods as punishment."

Beside him, he said.

Well, Timur's intuition was right, it was indeed higher here than in Telekdaban.

He was in Kazbek on the border between modern Georgia and Russia, but this name was named after the local Haoqiang family in Tsarist Russia, more than 5,000 meters above sea level, the legendary peak where Prometheus was nailed, of course, is only one of them, after all, such myths and legends will eventually deduce different locations because of the spread of different ethnic groups, but this is indeed one of the most widely spread, and it is also a holy place for Caucasian Christians.

Even they say that the manger where Jesus was born is here.

This is also the reason why Giorgi VII chose to defend here, he and the Ossetians are also not brothers, in fact, they and the Ossetians are the relationship between the Han land and the steppe, the latter can't eat or go down the mountain to rob the Georgians, on the contrary, the Georgians are strong to plow the court and sweep the caves. But now in order to resist Timur, they can only unite, and the only one who can unite them is the Orthodox Church, so Giorgi VII chose this holy mountain as the place to die.

"Sultan, we should withdraw, it's useless to fight here, our food won't last long, this kind of place is in the words of the Ming Dynasty, and a husband is not allowed to open it.

If we continue to fight, we will run out of food, and we will have to slaughter camels and horses.

What's the use of opening it then? ”

Shaharu said.

In fact, he didn't expect this result at all, but the current situation is already difficult, the wisest thing is to quickly withdraw to the river, as for Persia, these are no longer important, they can conquer once, then they can conquer the second time, as long as the elites in the river and Khorasan are left, they are still conquerors after all. In fact, the river and Khorasan, especially Khorasan, can almost be said to have stepped on the head of Persia for hundreds of years, and the Khorasan army began to suppress Persia.

It's just that the massacre of the cities of Khorasan during the Mongol expedition to the west has sharply reduced the power of Khorasan.

"We are invincible, if even the Georgians can't be defeated, who will submit to us in the future, if there is no food, we will rob it, here are mountain people, Chechens, Circassians, Balkars, they all have grain and livestock, kill them we will have enough food."

Pierre. Ma Heima said angrily.

"Aren't we having enough enemies? If it weren't for the Chechens leading the way, we wouldn't even be able to get here, so are you still going to turn them all into enemies?

The Ossetians are resisting us.

Do you want the Chechens, the Circassians to all resist us?

Now it's too late to retreat, withdraw to the Kipchak steppe, and then force those Russians to pay for food, and we will have enough food to return to the river. ”

Shaharu said.

Of course, when he returned to the river, it was likely that Yang Feng had also arrived.

But that happened to happen, his father died, he surrendered to Yang Feng, united with Yang Feng to kill this group of nephews, and then he was the new sultan.

"Stop arguing, retreat!"

Timur shouted.

He is a hero after all, and he knows that he still has to retreat when he should retreat.

Don't say that he can't open this place now, even if he does, what's the use, since the Georgians have resisted him, then they must have surrendered to Zhu Di a long time ago, he defeated the Georgians, and he still had to walk in the mountains and mountains for four or five days before he could get out of the mountain, I'm afraid that Zhu Di would have been waiting for him with a large army in Tifris, and he could still open Zhu Di's defense line with his sleepy and hungry army?

Now the wisest thing is to retreat, go back to the Kipchak steppe to collect grain, and then use these grains to support the Caspian Sea coast and return to the river, Zhu Gaochu will not be able to stop him, although it is difficult for him to annihilate Zhu Gaoxu, but it is also impossible for the latter to intercept him. As long as he can retreat to the river, he can also wait for Zhu Di in Khorasan, the latter wants to return to the east or can't fly over Khorasan after all, in the end Khorasan and the river are his foundation, just like Shaharu said, these conquered places can be conquered once and conquered again......

In fact, he conquered both more than once.

Georgia alone has already been beaten twice by him.

As long as his main forces in the river and Khorasan are still there, then he has not lost.

After saying that, he turned the horse's head without hesitation.

Shaharu immediately gave the order to retreat, and the soldiers of the river and Khorasan, who were fighting fiercely with the Georgians, quickly withdrew, and then silently retreated with their sultan.

The Georgians, of course, did not dare to pursue, in fact the result was already perfect for them.

In fact, Giorgi VII was ready to fight at least a third of his army here, and now this result was already a big profit for him.

Tiflis.

"So, Timur withdrew?"

Zhu Di looked at the white sky in the distance with interest.

"Your Highness, I think it should be, those Ossetians followed them all the way to the banks of the Terek River, because of the lack of food, they also killed a lot of Chechens, robbed grain and livestock, they found this road by relying on the Chechens to lead the way, since even the Chechens robbed for food, it is obvious that they are not ready to use the help of the Chechens anymore."

Giorgi VII said.

Two years after being driven out by Timur, he finally returned to his capital.

Yang Fifty-six's translation made Zhu Di nod.

"We don't have many requirements for vassals, as long as you surrender, and then pay tribute regularly, this is different according to the distance and time, like you are so far away, at most it is a tribute every three years, as for the tribute things are your local specialties, I don't know what your specialties are, but we have a know-it-all person, he will set a tribute for you. As for surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, you will be protected by the Ming Dynasty, if there is a foreign enemy to invade you, you can ask the Ming Emperor to send troops, but you can not attack each other with other Ming vassals, and after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, your merchants can trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Whether by land or sea.

As for your title, the Ming Dynasty is the highest for non-royal families, that is, the king of the county, but although the vassal king is the king of the county, he is actually the king of the feudal country.

Except for the fact that you must obey the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, everything else is up to you. ”

Zhu Di said.

Yang Fifty-six hurriedly translated for Giorgi VII.

"Teach him etiquette!"

Then Zhu Di said.

Yang Fifty-six hurriedly said a few words to Giorgi VII, and then bowed down to Zhu Di himself.

Giorgi VII hesitated, but looking at the boundless cavalry behind Zhu Di, he still knelt down for him honestly, and only after kowtowing did Zhu Di help him up......

"This is my acceptance of your submission on behalf of the Ming Emperor, but you and I are not subordinate to each other, and we will be brothers in the future."

He said with a smile.

Brothers......

Since it was easy to be brothers, Zhu Di and Giorgi VII joined hands and entered Tifris to the cheers of the Georgians.

And on the same day, Sylvan Shah Ibrahim I, who had been hiding in the mountains, also took his soldiers to find Kun Timur who was in Baku, and then declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, after Kun Timur reported to Zhu Di, Zhu Di also promised Ibrahim I that he would also ask the Ming Emperor to be the king of the county, and then the king of Hilfan, so all the cities of Sylvan were opened to welcome the king. After Zhu Di returned from Tifris, Ibrahim I was already waiting in his border city of Zhanja to welcome the king, and as compensation for his late surrender, he offered Zhu Di a large number of gifts.

So far, the Caucasus and West Persia have all paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Armenians, they are still electing their own king, and Zhu Di generously promised that as long as they elect their own king, they will ask the Ming Emperor for the title of him.

But at this time, he also needs to face a problem.

Van City.

"What a mess you have in this place, who are these Kurds? Also, don't you have a clear division of territory? To the north is the Black Sheep Turkmenistan, you are in the east, what are the Kurds here, and there are Armenians next to it, and the west is not far from the Ottomans, right? It's all mountains, and there are pieces in the mountains, a piece of Kurds on the left, an Armenian on the right, and a black sheep Turkmen nomad in the middle, and you are also mixed in and nomadic everywhere, so many people all have enmity against each other, don't you understand the importance of reunification? ”

Zhu Di looked at the small city in front of him and said.

I have to say that the complicated situation in West Asia is that he also feels a headache, and all of them are intertwined with various ethnic groups.

The beliefs of Chantama are different.

Even if the beliefs are the same, the denominations are not the same.

Ethnicity, creed, sect, any difference will turn into killing each other.

"That's what it looks like here, King Khan, don't think those Armenians are honest, they talk about Armenia hundreds of years ago, and now half of the Armenian land they say must be inhabited by Kurds."

Ahmed said with a smile.

After all, they can communicate directly in Mongolian, and Zhu Di has learned these Turkic Mongolian dialects in the past half a year.

"What about you?"

Zhu Di said.

"We, our main territory is actually in Baghdad, Taoli Temple is the old capital, it has long been occupied by Black Sheep Turkmen, there is a good place like Baghdad, who still likes Taoli Temple."

Ahmed said.

"Don't worry, Tokhtamysh and I will send you to Baghdad, compared to their mess, you are from the east after all, you Mongols are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor has a holy decree, and all members of the Golden Family will have their own pastures. You are the Zarayier Department, Mu Huali's descendant Chahan is still the Marquis of Shenyang, he is still the commander of the army to guard one side, in the end, the Ming Dynasty is too far away from here, and will not really manage here, and they need someone to watch them for the Ming Dynasty.

Tokhtamysh is still the Golden Horde, he is the Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the Golden Horde of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor gave him nine white silks.

You are Ilhan, and you will also be the county king of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor will also give you nine white silks.

We did have a feud in the past, but from the beginning of Erlebok's allegiance to the Ming Emperor as the Great Khan of the Mongols, our feud was completely erased.

Laugh at the grudge. ”

Zhu Di said.

Of course, the main thing is to deal with Bayezet together.

Now that Timur was no longer the main enemy, Tokhtamysh sent back to investigate, and he had withdrawn to Ha. Talkha, however, was still heavily garrisoned by Taerban, and because of Timur's looting when he was leaving, Chechnya hated him very much. In short, Timur will not return. But Bayezid has already moved eastward, in the final analysis, he is also eager to conquer this area, in the past there was Timur he did not dare, now that Timur is gone, he has nothing to fear of Zhu Di.

Therefore, it is time for Zhu Di to take over the mission of Timur in the original history.

King Yan of the Great Ming Dynasty against the Sultan of Lightning.
