Shortly after Muhan's departure, a cavalry of about 8,000 people rushed out of the Ming army's camp and rushed upstream along the Tarim River. But he saw the four young generals, Liu Xian, Li Guangqi, Chen Ji and He Zong, were full of energy, as if they were full of energy, and they could see that they were very excited.

No wonder the four young players were so excited. After all, this was their first independent combat mission, and it was a very important task, which was to attack Kashgar.

Kashgar is located in the upper reaches of the Tarim River. The Tianshan Mountains are in the north, the Pamir Mountains are in the west, and the Kunlun Mountains are in the south, and the Takramakan Desert on the east. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and opens on one side, shaped like a cloth bag.

Among them, the Pamir Mountains are an important turning point in the ancient Silk Road, and are a bridge and link connecting Xinjiang and Central Asian countries. Therefore, the location of Kashgar is very important. Controlling the Kashgar region is a strategic goal of Xu Jin. As long as you occupy Kashgar, it is equivalent to shaking the southwest gateway of the Yarkand Khanate, forming a trend of closing the door and beating dogs.

In addition, Xu Jin heard Song Dayan mention that a Persian prince named Babur seemed to have gotten involved and pestered Qiaoer. In order to prevent the situation, it is necessary to control the Pamirs. On the one hand, it can prevent the Persian army from intervening, and on the other hand, it can cut off the retreat of Hasmu's escape to Persia.

"A Xian, the commander asked us to attack Kashgar, and there was obviously no intention of peace talks. Why do you want to waste time with that envoy? It would be better to send troops directly to Huanglong to attack him." Li Guangqi said loudly to Liu Xian while riding his horse.

Liu Xian did not answer, but turned to Chen Ji on the other side and asked, "A Ji, what do you think?"

Chen Ji laughed and said, "Axian, are you a delicate little brother?"

Liu Xian shook his head and said, "What's the point? It's just that everyone discusses and confirms their ideas."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "That's almost the same. I'll talk about my own thoughts to see if you think it's the same as Ah Xian. Well, if there is an enemy in front of me, I can clearly put him over with one punch, but I'd like to talk nonsense to him in a long and long way. There are only two reasons. Second, that guy has a hostage and other things in his hands. Second, I want to get greater benefits from that guy."

At this time, He Jue couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Wang Jia and Huang's envoy have not fallen into Hasmu's hands, so they should not be considered hostages. So according to Aji, the general wasted time to negotiate with Hasmu, because he wanted to get greater benefits from Hasmu?"

Chen Ji laughed and said, "Correct."

Li Guangqi said puzzledly: "Of the four of us, I am the most insane. Aji, don't keep it a secret. What great benefits can Hasmu give to the Grand Marshal?"

"Hehe, this is not simple. What is the most valuable thing in the Yarkand Khanate?" Chen Ji smiled.

Li Guangqi frowned: "What can I do with the Yarkand Khanate? The population is small, the land is barren, and there are deserts everywhere. The only famous ones are jade, melon, wool and cotton. Hey, is it a mountain of gold and silver... but I have never heard of it."

He Zong couldn't help but shook his head and said, "A Qi, you are really a elm head, jade, melon, wool, cotton and gold and silver mountains. Where did these things come from?"

"Growing from the ground? Ouch, I understand!" Li Guangqi suddenly realized: "The Grand Marshal wants land, I go, the Grand Marshal is preparing to ask for the entire Yarkand Khanate."

Liu Xian smiled and said, "You only understand."

Li Guangqi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "But I am confused again. If the general wants the entire Yarkand Khanate, shouldn't he start a fight directly? Why do you have to negotiate with Hasmu?"

"Stupid, is the Yarkand Khanate a Hasmu?" Chen Ji reminded.

Li Guangqi shook his head and said, "Although Hasmu actually controls Yarkand now, he is only Zaisan and Sayide is the great Khan. In name, Yarkand still belongs to Sayide."

"Hehe, this time I understand why the Grandmaster has added Sa Yide Khan to the peace talks, right?" Chen Ji said proudly.

Li Guangqi nodded and said, "I understand, but will Hasmu send Sayide Khan as a hostage?"

Chen Ji and Liu Xian looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "It seems that you still don't understand A Qi."

Li Guangqi looked embarrassed and said with a smirk: "Is the Grand Marshal asking Hasmu for Sayide Khan, and there are other mysteries?"

Seeing this, Liu Xian couldn't bear to let his best brother make a fool of himself anymore and explained: "The Marshal was asking Hasmu for Sayide Khan, but in fact he was reminding Hasmu that Sayide Khan is the real ruler of the Yarkand Khanate. Although Hasmu does not call him Khan now, it is actually equivalent to seeking power and usurping the throne. Do he dare to give Sayide Khan to the Marshal as a precept? Is he not afraid that the Marshal will send troops to attack him in the name of Sayide Khan then?"

Li Guangqi shook his head and said, "It seems that Hasmu really dare not send anyone here."

"So, Hasmu not only dared not send Sayide Khan, but also killed Sayide Khan, and even killed all the heirs of Sayide Khan, which cut off the general's idea of ​​supporting the puppet regime." Liu Xian continued.

Li Guangqi suddenly realized, "So that's it. It is said that when Yu Dayou attacked Annan, the powerful minister Mo Dengyong also took the lead in killing all the descendants of the Li Dynasty, and then surrendered to our Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Li family had no heirs, and the Ming Dynasty had to give up the support of the Li family and rely on Mo Dengyong to govern Annan."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Aqi finally got to know Mo Dengyong, who is Annan, probably, but his approach is similar to Mo Dengyong."

Li Guangqi smiled and suddenly shook slightly, "Wait, Ah Xian said just now that the general asked Hasmu for Sayide Khan, but was actually reminding Hasmu? Isn't this saying that the general is in disguise... forcing Hasmu to kill Sayide Khan?"

Liu Xian said lightly: "My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and everything is well-known. If the Sayide Khan family is not extinct, how can our Ming Dynasty annex Yarkand justly annex Yarkand?"

Li Guangqi said juicyly: "Where is that Rashid Taiji, he is friendly to Daming."

He Zong shrugged and said, "Or why do you think the general wants to kill someone with a knife? He will gain a good reputation after taking the benefits. Fame and wealth are both gained, so why not do it?"

Li Guangqi took a deep breath: "My good guy, it turns out that there are so many tricks, but this is not good, I mean that Rashid Taiji is a little unfair."

"Don't be stupid, it's all about interest. The reason why Rashid Taiji is pro-Ming is that he wants to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to fight against Zasanghasmu. Similarly, if Rashid Taiji becomes the Khan of Yarkand, he will definitely find a way to escape from the control of the Ming Dynasty." Chen Ji Leng said.

Li Guangqi scratched his head: "Although he said that, he always feels that he is not very righteous in doing so."

Liu Xian also knew that his brother was a guy with a strong sense of justice. Because of this, when he saw Yu Linsheng's abuse and killing prisoners, he angrily scolded him in person, so he said: "A Qi, the two countries have to fight for their own military affairs. The general naturally has to consider the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the methods used by the general are not despicable, but rather a conspiracy. Hasmuruo was really a loyal minister of Yerkang and would definitely not kill Sa Yide.

In addition, even if Hasmuzhen killed Sayid Khan, if Rashid Taiji had the ability to defend Khotan, until the Ming army reached the rescue, I believe the general would give him a good result. However, by then, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to directly annex Yarkand. After all, Rashid Taiji was the legal heir of the Yarkand Khanate."

Li Guangqi spread his hands and said, "It seems that this Rashid Taiji was still slaughtered by Hasmu, so as to save trouble."

Chen Ji laughed and said, "All right, these things shouldn't be troublesome for us. The commander will figure it out. We just need to take Kashgar down."

"That's right, this is our first independent battle, so don't mess it up, otherwise the general should think about our four heads!" He Punishment joked.

Liu Xian was energetic, and a sense of pride surged in his heart, and he said loudly: "Brothers, we must fight beautifully in this battle. We dare not say that we are a king in this life like the general of the general, but at least we have to make a marquis come to the dang, which is worthy of our life."
