Upon hearing Cai Yong's words, the Turkic envoy became even more angry and shouted: "It's not like you vowed to eradicate dissidents and just let our army wait ten miles away. Now you are begging our army to enter the city. It's too late!"
This is true. Because he was afraid that the Turkic army would steal his credit, Cai Yong added such a clause to the negotiation conditions. When he was dealing with the civil strife in Liangzhou, the Turks were not allowed to enter the city. Regarding Cai Yong's precautionary mentality, the Turks
They pretended to discuss it for a long time and finally accepted it. In fact, they were happy not to get involved in the civil war in Liangzhou. It would be great to get the fish with nothing.
The plan was not as good as the change. Cai Yong, a loser who had such a huge advantage, could be defeated. The two Turkic envoys had to face the reality. They lowered their heads and muttered a few words, and then said to Cai Yong: "We have not set any signal.
, the only way now is to go out of the city to report the news and let the army enter the city to help in the battle."
Cai Yong said anxiously: "Well, let's break out quickly. The northwest gate is still under my control. As long as the army enters the city and helps me kill the rebels, I would like to thank you both for ten thousand taels of silver."
The two Turkic envoys were extremely disdainful of Cai Yong's character, but they had to cooperate with him at this time. After the three people agreed, Cai Yong went out to gather his cronies, rushed out from the back door, and went straight to Liangzhou Xibianmen. These cronies
The soldiers had been favored by Cai Yong for many years, and they fought hard. They actually stood out from the encirclement of the guards and soldiers. By the time Yuan Feng and his men came from the main gate for reinforcements, Cai Yong had already run away.
Xibianmen is under the control of the Liangzhou Army. Cai Yong has issued a death order. No matter how fierce the fighting is in the city, the soldiers guarding the city must stick to their fighting positions to prevent the Turks from sneaking attacks. Cai Yong is not a fool. After all, this is his first time fighting
When dealing with Turks, if they took advantage of the chaos and invaded the city, he would not have the capital to negotiate terms with them, so he made two preparations. The soldiers on the city wall saw Cai Yong from a distance and ran towards him, taking off his armor and quickly stepped forward.
When they got closer, they found two Mongolians standing behind General Cai. Han Feng, the guard of Xibianmen, was startled. He thought his general had been kidnapped and quickly drew his knife to protect him, but Cai Yong slapped him in the face.
He went over and cursed: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is our honored guest!"
The Liangzhou Army looked at each other. It was one thing to fight against the Ganzhou Army and the bodyguards, but it was another thing to cooperate with the Turks. Why didn't General Cai mention this to everyone? Could it be that the rumors outside were true?
General Cai wants to dedicate the city to the Turks?
Here, Cai Yong has already servilely apologized to the Turkic envoy: "Sir, don't blame me. The people below do not understand the rules and are reckless. I will let them open the door and send you out of the city."
The Turkic envoy said: "We will return to the camp immediately and ask the Khan to send troops to rescue you. When the time comes, we will enter the city through the Xibian Gate. You must guard the gate."
Cai Yong nodded repeatedly and said: "Absolutely!" He bowed and personally sent the two Turkic envoys out of the gate, then raised his head and walked up to the city wall to summon the officers to lecture: "That guy Cao Jun colluded with the guards and soldiers to attack us.
, you must guard the city wall and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
The officers were dumbfounded. Originally, the coup was something that only senior officers knew about. They, the little bosses, had no idea. Now Cai Yong was talking about reinforcements. How could there be any army within a few hundred miles? Could it be... he pointed
The reinforcements were the Turkic army camped ten miles away from the city?
Han Feng couldn't help but advise: "The Turks have always been unfaithful. Don't let me be deceived by them."
Cai Yong said angrily: "I have my own opinions. If you say anything, you will be killed without mercy!" At this moment, he showed the demeanor of a general and spoke decisively. Compared with the flattering expression just now, he was completely different.
people.
As he spoke, the pursuers of the guards had arrived. Cai Yong quickly ordered the defenders to fire arrows. The soldiers guarding the city were equipped with many bows and crossbows. They shot back the guards in a burst of fire. But after all, the enemy came from within the city.
They can attack it by walking on the horse road. If they capture Xibian Gate, his plan to become the king of Liangzhou will be in vain. Thinking of this, Cai Yong had an idea and sent an order: "Tear down the city gate quickly!"
…
Ten miles outside the city is the Turkic camp.
It was a million-strong army marching eastward. In fact, there were only 100,000 troops under the city of Liangzhou. Moreover, this army was not mainly composed of Turks, but mainly Mongolians from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. It also took tens of thousands of strong men from other ethnic groups.
That's all.
East Chagatai Khan Tuheilu Timur was sitting in his royal tent, and his generals gathered together. Everyone gathered in the royal tent to eat mutton. Sitting next to his right hand was his only son Heidi'erhuo.
Or, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him Chu Jian.
Don't look at the fact that Tuhelu Timur's name also contains the word Timur, but his power, wealth and territory are far inferior to the real Timur, not even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
It's just a vassal of Timur's empire.
The territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is located in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is often called the Western Region by the Central Plains people. Further west, the land beyond the river is the political center of the Timurid Empire. This is an unimaginably large land.
, Timur the Great Khan has been conquering the east and west for many years, and it is said that he has conquered more land than Genghis Khan. He is a great hero in the minds of everyone in the Western Regions.
The great monarch Timur conquered Persia, Khwarezm, the Ilkhanate and Afghanistan; and then went north to attack the Golden Horde. Timur originally hoped to restore the glory of the Mongol Empire, so he originally attacked the khanates.
goal. But later he discovered that the Mongols were not his enemies, and foreigners were more likely to hinder his great cause than the Mongols. From then on, he regarded himself as the heir of the Golden Family, and even married the Mongolian princess of Western Chagatai Khan.
, the difference between Turks and Mongols is no longer obvious. Everyone has converted to Islam. Even the authentic Mongols have become Turkic, so in the eyes of the Central Plains people, they are all Turks.

After Timur Khan conquered Persia, he had a strong desire to conquer this rich land in the east. He launched an expedition to the east brazenly, claiming to have millions of cavalry. In fact, Tuheilu knew that after years of continuous campaigns by the empire, there were no soldiers who could fight.
There are not many left. Only one-third of the so-called million-strong army is available, and the rest are just civilians.
When the army went out for the expedition, it was still a beautiful autumn weather, but when they arrived at Liangzhou City, it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter. Even the hard-working Mongolians were complaining because the logistics supply line was too long.
It is winter, and there is not much food available. Besides, the Liangzhou army is well-equipped and has good combat effectiveness. Tuheilu lost a lot of troops and horses in the battle of Ganzhou. Yuan Feng and other thirteen cavalrymen under Liangzhou City flew into the flames.
His general heroic demeanor left a deep impression on him, and he made up his mind that Liangzhou could only be outmaneuvered and not attacked by force.
Although Timur's empire appears to be glorious on the surface, Tuheilu is well aware of the many contradictions behind the scenes. Timur is indeed as great as Genghis Khan, but he also faces the same problems as Genghis Khan. The empire can only last for one generation. The great empire
After Khan passed away, his sons were no longer arrow shafts tied together, but a group of bloodthirsty wolf cubs.
Tuheilu must plan for himself. The few troops and horses he has cannot be wasted pointlessly. Liangzhou City is an irreplaceable city on the eastward path. Only by completely occupying it can he achieve great achievements. If he gets it,
It was an empty city, and Timur would definitely not let him go, so out of various considerations, he finally chose the strategy of persuading him to surrender. Fortunately, the opponent's general had this intention, and Tuheilu casually promised him a Liangzhou
The king gave him the title, and the man capitulated.
He was able to capture Liangzhou, a city with high walls and thick walls, without any blood. This made Tu Hei Lu very happy. He drank three large bowls of koumiss in a row, his face turned red, and he patted his son Hei Er Huo Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute."
When I go to Liangzhou, I must meet your Anda heroes. Such heroes are rare among the Han people!"
There was a coup in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. All eighteen sons of Lao Tu Hei Lu died. Only the youngest son Hei Huo Zhe was missing. The search was unsuccessful until the year before last when he fought against the Qiang people in Xining Prefecture.
At that time, a young man was found among the rebellious army. His voice and appearance were exactly the same as the son in his memory. Although the young man tried his best to deny that he was a Mongolian, Tuheilu still believed that this was a gift given to him by Allah.
The young man is the son-in-law of Hei, the youngest son who disappeared that year.
Chu Jian is a real person, and Tu Heilu treats him well, and he also treats him with the courtesy of a father. After the last confrontation with Yuan Feng and others, he told the whole story of letting the enemy go.
Heilu did not punish him, but praised him for doing the right thing, saying that this would show the generosity and tolerance of the Mongols, and would further undermine the morale of the Liangzhou army.
The atmosphere in the king's tent was cheerful and warm. It was said in the military books of the Han people that subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest state of war. The generals discussed enthusiastically that after entering Liangzhou, they should take a good rest and bring beautiful women and
Occupy the big house first and let the people from outside the river in the back group take advantage of it.
While they were discussing, the two envoys sent to Liangzhou came back and angrily told Tuheilu Khan that the plan had changed. Cai Yong was about to lose control of Liangzhou. Now the only way to save the situation was to dispatch the army as soon as possible.
Tuheilu immediately threw away the wine glass and asked the generals to gather their troops to prepare for battle. There were three thousand cavalry outside the king's tent as a reserve team that was always on standby. This would come in handy. Tuheilu sent his son to act as a vanguard and lead these three men.
Thousands of cavalry rushed straight to the west gate of Liangzhou.
