Chapter 1378
About half an hour later, Hasmu left the palace with the edict written by Sayide Khan. The content of the edict was written according to Hasmu's intention. First, he rebuked Rashid Taiji for colluding with Ming's intent, and then changed the subject and said that it was because Rashid Taiji was bewitched by Ming's intent. Therefore, as long as Rashid Taiji surrendered voluntarily and handed over Ming's envoy, Wang Cuiqiao and others, he would pardon Rashid Taiji for his death crimes and deprived Rashid Taiji of his identity, so that he would not be allowed to inherit the Khan's throne for life.
Hasmu had just left the palace with the edict, and a group of knights in black were waiting outside. When the black knights saw the former coming out, they immediately gave a silent chest caress.
Hasmu waved his hand expressionlessly, and the black-clad knight in the head immediately came forward. Hasmu handed the handwritten edict of Sayide Khan to the leader of the knight and said indifferently: "Go, get the matter done."
The leader of the black knight received the edict, nodded silently, then turned over to the horse, led the other black knights to ride away, and rushed to Khotan overnight.
After the black knight left, another person flashed out like a ghost in the shadow behind Hasmu. It was Tuerson, the leader of the palace guard.
"Sir, will you do something tonight?" Tursun asked in a low voice with a little nervousness.
Hasmu glanced at him coldly, shook his head and said lightly, "I will talk about it when the matter on Yutian is done, let's go back."
"Yes!" The head of the palace guard Tuerxun secretly let go and retreated back into the shadow.
Hasmu stood in front of the palace gate, looked up and quietly watched the stars in the sky for a while, then slowly headed towards Zaisang Mansion.
"Mr. Zaisang, Prince Babur is back and has been waiting for two incense sticks in the living room." Hasmuk, as he stepped into the gate of Zaisang Mansion, a servant came forward to report.
Hasmu nodded calmly, but the obviously accelerated pace revealed the urgent force in his heart.
Hasmu walked quickly to the living room door, but then he slowed down again. He stepped in and saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes sitting on a bench, which was the Persian prince Babur.
I saw Babur wearing a military uniform, with a scimitar on his waist, and a cloak was tied behind him. He looked dusty and obviously had just arrived on a long journey.
"Your Highness Prince Babur, Benzaisanke has come to you." Hasmu smiled and opened his hands and walked forward.
"Mr. Zaisang, you have been waiting for a long time." Babur also stood up and opened his hands. The two of them hugged each other politely, and then they divided the guests and hosts to sit down.
As soon as Babur was sitting down, he asked urgently: "Can Lord Zaisang take over Khotan?"
Hasmu smiled and said, "It's getting soon."
Babur's brow frowned: "I have returned to China to move troops. After nearly two months of going back and forth, Lord Zaisang hasn't taken down Khotan yet?"
Hasmu still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Babur, I promised to take down Khotan within three days. Then Your Highness will be able to meet the kings whom you have been thinking about day and night, haha!"
Babur picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Hasmu asked casually: "I wonder how many soldiers the prince brought this time?"
"Three thousand cavalry." Babur said lukewarmly.
Hasmu's heart suddenly sank and said unhappily: "Three thousand cavalry? Your Highness the Prince is not kidding, right? Now that the Ming army is in a 100,000 army, the situation is in danger. Could it be that the prince's three thousand cavalry can be one hundred?"
Babur said coldly: "Of course there are more than three thousand cavalry, and there will be 80,000 troops coming one after another. I just lead three thousand cavalry to take the lead."
Hasmu felt relieved when he heard this. With the support of the 80,000 Persian army, he could let go and compete with the Ming army. Although the Ming army was powerful, the front line was too long, and it is still unknown who would win in the end!
Hasmu stroked his palm excitedly and asked quickly: "I wonder when the follow-up army will arrive?"
Babur's eyes flashed a little and hesitated: "This... I can't be sure yet. Lord Zaisang, you know that the troops of our country must use the Uzbek Khanate. It's a bit troublesome to negotiate. Thanks to the fact that I have some friendship with the upper class of the Uzbek Khanate, I led 3,000 cavalry to cross the border and take the lead. The arrangements of the subsequent army must be carefully negotiated by the two countries. But Lord Zaisang, don't worry, it will be three months later, and the subsequent army will arrive one after another."
Hasmu's heart suddenly became cold, and he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's too slow, I'm afraid I can't wait. Now the Ming army has reached the bottom of his nose."
Babur was shocked and asked quickly: "Where has the Ming army fought?"
"The Ming army divided into two groups. A few days ago, the Eastern Army had already reached Qiemo, and the Western Army even took Asu and Balimang, which was only nine hundred miles away from here." Hasmu said with a dark face.
Babur was shocked and blurted out: "How is this possible? What about Mansuer?"
Hasmu's face looked even more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Turpan has been destroyed by the Ming army, and Mansuer Khan has also died."
"What?" Babur froze, his heart was chilling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
As for Babur left Shache about two months ago and returned to Persia to move troops. At that time, the Ming army took Hami shortly after, while Bayi led more than 10,000 defeated soldiers back to Yarkand. Hasmu felt that something was wrong, so he asked Babur to return to Persia to support him quickly to deal with the Ming army's next attack.
In Babur's view, it would take at least a few months or even half a year to annex the entire Turpan. Now, it is said that the Ming army not only wiped out the entire Turpan, but also killed Mansuer Khan. He even rushed south to occupy a large area of the Yarkand Khanate. He was naturally shocked in his heart. It was too fast. Is the Ming army so powerful? Or is Mansuer too useless?
It took a long time for Babur to come back to his senses and asked with a serious expression: "How many soldiers and horses are there under Lord Zaisang?"
Hasmu stretched out a slap: "The full amount is only 60,000, but Shache is only 30,000, Kashgar is 10,000, Khotan is 10,000, and there are more than 10,000."
Babur exclaimed and said, "When the battle is still possible, I will send people back to the country to urge you to fight, and strive to get the subsequent reinforcements to arrive within a month."
Hasmu sighed and said, "I hope that otherwise Yerkang will be in danger and the Ming people are ambitions. If they annex Yarkang, Persia and Uzbek may not escape the disaster."
A faint light flashed in Babul's eyes, and he nodded and said with great confidence: "As the saying goes, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold. I will definitely support your country with all my strength. Lord Zaisang can rest assured. By the way, I plan to lead 3,000 cavalry to Khotan tomorrow to help Lord Zaisang take down Khotan as soon as possible, and capture the envoy of the Ming Kingdom as a hostage. Moreover, after taking down Khotan, Lord Zaisang can also concentrate his troops to deal with the Ming army."
Hasmu shook his head and said, "No need. In three days, Khotan will be destroyed. Prince Babur will wait here with peace of mind. It is just right for the Prime Minister to help defend Shache. The Ming army will probably launch an attack soon."
Babur had to say, "Okay then!"
"It's getting late at this moment. Your Highness the Prince comes from afar and go back to rest first. I will hold a banquet tomorrow to welcome His Highness the Prince and his soldiers." Hasmu said.
Babur nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and took his personal wife Weiss to leave Zaisan Mansion and leave the city and return to his military camp.
"Your Highness, Hasmu doesn't seem to believe us completely, right?" Us said after following Babur into the camp.
Babur said lightly: "The old fox Hasmu is cautious and cunning. How could he believe us completely? It is normal to prevent us from doing it."
"What should I do now? Paper can't keep the fire in the end. We don't have an army of 80,000 in the future. Hasmuru knew that His Highness the Prince deceived him, and he would definitely not let His Highness go." Us said nervously.
Babur said in a deep voice: "Now I can only hide it for a while. Fortunately, Hasmu said that he would take down Khotan within three days. At that time, he would have to wait for an opportunity to steal people away. Hasmu is too busy to take care of himself now and should not send troops to chase him."
Us's face changed and he couldn't help but persuade, "Your Highness, is it worth it for a woman? Even if Your Highness successfully brings you all back to Persia, offending King Xu Jin, Beijing, will be full of troubles."
Babur's eyes shivered and he scolded: "Rareless, I will act. When will it be your turn to teach you a lesson!"
Us' heart was stern, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm talking too much."
Babur snorted coldly and said firmly: "Us, listen, even if all three thousand cavalrymen stay in Yarkand, I will bring the king back to Persia. As for that Xu Jin, if you have the ability, you will come to Persia and cross the Pamir Mountains, are you still afraid that he will not succeed?"
Us sighed inwardly, lowered his head and was speechless.
Babur clenched his fists again and said angrily: "That old guy is short-sighted. If he agrees to send troops, the prince will now lead a 100,000 army to compete with the Xu. Maybe he can take the opportunity to take down the entire Yerkand."
It turned out that Babur returned to Persia to move troops, but as a result, he, the current old king of Persia, did not agree and scolded him fiercely. Babur was angry and hated, so he had to recruit three thousand cavalry himself to return to Yerkang. Therefore, he told Hasmu that there were 80,000 troops to come in the future, which was just a lie. His purpose was to temporarily stabilize Hasmu and wait for an opportunity to rob Wang Cuiqiao back to Persia.
