Pacifying the Quartet Chapter Ninety-Six: Closing the Peace Talks

Hearing Nuhadin's self-blame, Farema shook her head and said softly: "Generalissimo, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and I am the supreme commander of this holy war, and I should bear the greatest responsibility." ”

When the generals in the tent heard this, they looked ashamed and bowed their heads.

Fatema changed the subject and asked softly, "We have now lost our most elite troops, and the remaining soldiers can barely hold the camp. In addition to fighting the Ming army, what are the good strategies of the marshals and generals? ”

Nuhaddin pondered for a long time, "Holy Maiden, now the Ming cavalry in Yumen Pass is at its peak, and most of our cavalry has been killed and wounded, we must not pull out the camp and withdraw the army, otherwise the enemy will pursue us, and we will be defeated!" ”

General Sapur added: "The cavalry of the Ming army has incorporated many Mongolian cavalry, and these Mongolian cavalry are skilled in arching and horses, and on the plain, our army cannot resist at all. ”

General Taiwab also nodded in support of Nuhaddin's opinion, "We must not retreat at this time, it is only suitable to stick to the camp and wait for backup!" ”

Falima was silent for a moment and looked at Songzanlu, "Master, the country of Timur is far away, and it will take at least a month and a half for reinforcements to come, and it will be difficult to solve the urgent needs of the moment. How many more reinforcements can Turpan provide? ”

Songzanlu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Holy Maiden, Turpan is composed of many ethnic minorities, and it is not easy to recruit 50,000 soldiers and horses to help this time. If you want to collect again, you can only send the guards of the royal capital, and you can send up to 30,000 people. ”

Nuhadin shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "Now that the Ming army in Yumen Pass is close to 100,000, plus the 30,000 soldiers of the Uyghur people, even if the reinforcements from Turpan come, they will not be able to change the situation of the war. Moreover, there is no Mongolian threat in Daming for the time being, and more troops will be mobilized from nearby Shanxi and Sichuan to support. ”

Nuhadin immediately hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Is it possible to assassinate Dugu Xiaotian now?" ”

Everyone looked at Shenggeldan, Shenggeldan's face was slightly pale, and he tried his best when he rushed out of the Yumen Pass, but he was slightly injured.

When Shenggerdan heard this, his eyes were full of tears, and he said sadly: "Marshal, the masters of my King Kong Gate were almost wiped out in this battle, and my four brothers were killed in Yumen Pass. ”

When Nuhaddin heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but cry when he remembered that the death squad he had worked so hard to cultivate was also wiped out.

Falema bit her lip, "Now we can only negotiate peace, with ransom and peace for decades to come, in exchange for the lives of our soldiers!" ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, there was silence for a while, and Nuhaddin looked resentful and stopped talking.

Songtsan Lu bowed and bowed, "The holy woman is merciful and generous, and this king admires it!" Peace negotiation is indeed the best solution at the moment, and we in Turpan also support peace negotiation. ”

Songzanlu immediately glanced around at Nuhaddin and the generals in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Han people have a saying, a gentleman takes revenge, and it is not too late for ten years. Now that the situation is clear, we should preserve our strength, and it will try to take revenge again! ”

Nuhadin and several Isis generals gradually softened when they heard this, and Nuhadin nodded, "Holy Maiden Gaoming, let's put aside our hatred for the time being, and negotiate peace with Daming, I'm afraid that Daming's side will take advantage of the victory and pursue and refuse to let us go!" ”

"Report to the marshal, the Ming army sent a messenger to deliver a letter!" At this moment, Ma Gang, the commander of the guards of the tent, whispered outside the tent.

"Present the letter!" Nouhadin took the letter and read it carefully, his face uncertain. He then handed the letter to the Holy Maiden Falima.

Farma read the letter twice, was silent for a long time, and said to herself: "'Laughing Man' really lives up to its name, benevolence and righteousness!" ”

She raised the letter in her hand, "Dugu Xiaotian sent a messenger, hoping to negotiate peace with us." I have made up my mind to make peace with the Ming Dynasty and end this war. ”

Five days later, Yang Rong and Zhang Fu, the old general of the third prince of the cabinet, rushed to Yumen Pass. Yang Rong took out the holy decree and read it out in public.

Emperor Xuande agreed to the peace talks. The terms of the specific peace talks with Timur were agreed upon by Yang Rong, Zhang Fu, and Dugu Xiaotian, and the three of them were headed by Dugu Xiaotian.

Dugu smiled and saw that Emperor Xuande was eloquent and slender, and he agreed very much with his own proposition, and couldn't help but feel relieved. Immediately ordered people to set up a negotiation shed in front of the Yumen Pass.

The next day, the Ishtar camp Saintess Falima replied that the Timurid state had agreed to peace talks and that the negotiators were ready.

"Brother Xiaotian, I heard that the Holy Maiden of Is, Falima, is beautiful and intelligent, and her appearance is overwhelming, so you can't release water during negotiations!" Li Xiaoyue, who came to see him off, reminded solemnly.

Dugu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and flicked Li Xiaoyue's head, his martial arts had fully recovered at this time, and Li Xiaoyue couldn't hide from it.

"Satsuki, militaristic affairs, don't be joking!"

"Let the two adults laugh, let's go negotiate!" Dugu Xiaotian's face turned red, and he saluted Yang Rong and Zhang Fu.

The veteran Zhang Fu smiled slightly and teased: "Beauty loves heroes, Dugu Shaoxia needs to do his best to fight for a hundred years of peace for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

The people who saw them off laughed when they heard this, and Song Shuling's face turned straight, "Laughing, come on, kidnap the saint to the Central Plains and take her as a hostage." ”

Dugu Xiaotian sighed and shook his head, got into the carriage with the two adults, and everyone escorted the carriage to the newly built negotiation house.

The representatives of the Isis side had already arrived in advance, and the representatives of the Isis in charge of negotiations had arrived from the special envoys of the Timurid country, Mahbut, Falima and Nuhaddin.

Representatives of the two sides sat down on either side of the negotiating table and discussed the specific terms of the negotiations. Falima saw Dugu Xiaotian sitting in the middle, calm and calm, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Dugu Xiaotian smiled: "The establishment of the Daming foundation is also inseparable from the help of the Hui people. Taizu himself is a Hui person, Queen Ma, Mu Wangye, and Hu Wangye are all Hui people. In fact, my Daming and Islam are also related by blood. ”

The head of the talks, Mahbut, the envoy of thirty-five or sixteen years, was resourceful and capable of handling affairs, and won the trust of the elders of the Timurid kingdom of Islam.

Mahbut listened to Dugu Xiaotian's words, and showed a look of sudden realization, "It turns out that Daming and I, the Islamic Sect, are actually a family, our lord didn't know before, so he had this offense, please forgive me!" ”

Yang Rong and Zhang Fu sneered in their hearts when they heard this, and the old general Zhang Fu said happily: "Since everyone has recognized their relatives, don't fight this battle in the future." ”

Mahbut laughed, "Of course I won't fight, we will reconcile in the future, just like a family." ”

Minister Yang Rong smiled slightly, "Ambassador Mahbut, how do you guarantee that the army of Timur will not invade the Central Plains in the future?" ”

"I swear in the name of faith that in my lifetime, the army of the country of Timur will never invade the Central Plains!" Mahbut swore by it.
