Xia Xun rushed to Hami, preparing for the King of Hami to send troops to send him back to Xiliang. During this period, Xia Xun met Feng Lieyan, who had just recovered from his injuries, and visited some people who were temporarily stranded due to injuries and disabilities.
The soldiers of Yu Hami naturally wanted to take them all back to Ganliang before leaving.
King Tuotuo of Hami held a banquet for several days and invited guests to cleanse Xia Xun and celebrate his escape from the catastrophe. Since the powerful enemy had retreated, attracting the hearts of the Western Regions could not be accomplished in a short time.
, Xia Xun's method of eradicating dissidents with iron and blood methods in Shazhou will not work here, so Xia Xun has no interest in having banquets with Hami officials.
Five days later, all the people who were supposed to be summoned and appeased were met, so Xia Xun asked to leave immediately. King Hami very much hoped that this important minister would stay in Hami for a longer period of time, which would help him expand his influence and consolidate his power.
The position was very useful, but he also knew that Xia Xun had been missing for half a year and was about to return home, so he did not dare to force him to stay, so he immediately arranged a camel team and cavalry to take care of Xia Xun on the road.
At this time, the secret envoy carrying Xia Xun's letter had already disguised himself as a small caravan and had been on the road for several days.
The city of Suzhou has gradually become prosperous in recent days. Suzhou was originally the most prosperous city in the Jiuquan area. Since the end of last year, due to the approaching war, merchants have disappeared, and some qualified gentry have fled the local area and moved inland. Therefore,
The place was much desolate, but now that the Timurid Empire's troops had withdrawn to Samarkand, the war was over, and prosperity was soon restored.
Tuoba Mingde was currently in Suzhou City, renting a manor house. This manor house was the lower courtyard of the Ma family, a wealthy gentry in Suzhou.
Because they were worried that Timur's army would be killed before they reached Jiayuguan, all the wealthy Ganliang families who could afford it withdrew to the pass at the beginning of the year. Only a few servants were left to manage the villages here. These people
They are mainly engaged in business and have a flexible mind. If someone rents their house at this time and gets another income for nothing, they will naturally be willing to do so.
In order to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, Song Sheng, the Pingqiang general, moved all the wealthy merchants on the sandbank to Jiayuguan. Tuoba Mingde followed suit and sneaked into the pass. The wealthy merchants on these sandbanks brought their families and servants like clouds.
Which inn can accommodate them? Besides, most of the inns in the Western Regions are big car shops. It is very difficult to find a place with good living conditions, so most of them choose to rent the mansions of Ganliang nobles.
Tuoba Mingde also pretended to rent a village courtyard, which is the lower courtyard of the Ma family.
Originally, Tuoba Mingde had been staying near Jiayuguan and refused to retreat further inward, because when Timur's army arrived, he would be responsible for coordinating internal and external cooperation, opening Jiayuguan, and letting Timur's army enter the city. Who expected that he would wait and see?
, but finally waited for the news that Timur Khan died of illness, and the three armies returned to Samarkand to start the civil war. This time Tuoba Mingde was dumbfounded.
When the dignitaries and wealthy gentry in Shazhou returned to Dunhuang one after another, Tuoba Mingde did not rush to follow him because he had no place to live in Shazhou. For the time being, the wealthy businessmen and gentry from all sides were busy reorganizing their homes.
He will no longer gather caravans to go to the West for trade. When he reaches the sandbank, he can only stay there. What is the difference from here?
Furthermore, he is a confidant of the Timur Empire's general Soyalha who was stationed in Beslopali. The news we have now is that His Highness Harry Sultan has launched a mutiny after learning that Timur Khan died of illness and put him under house arrest and came to take over the military power.
Gaisuyeddin killed Soyarkha, took his army into his hands, and drove back to Samarkand.
At this moment, Beishi Bali is equivalent to one-quarter in the hands of Ming Ting, one-quarter in the hands of Wala, and two-quarters under the control of His Highness Harry. If he doesn't know the situation and bumps back, who knows what will happen?
He surrendered and became a prisoner of Sultan Harry? So Tuoba Mingde calmed down and temporarily stayed in Ganliang to watch the situation.
A few days ago, he received news such as the emperor's grandson Harry Sultan proclaimed himself emperor, the emperor's grandson Pirma Heima proclaimed himself emperor, Haritasi killed Pirma Heima, and the power of the emperor's grandson had been divided between Shaharul and Harry Sultan.
The news made Tuoba Mingde even more panicked.
He is from the emperor's grandson's faction, and the emperor's grandson is dead, and the emperor's grandson's power has collapsed. At this time, who can he go to when he returns to Timur's empire? What if he has a heavy army and is recruited?
However, he only has some goods and a few hundred soldiers at his disposal. Who would take him seriously?
Tuoba Mingde now has a fortune of great value, and at the same time, he has more than a hundred strong soldiers. In order to more perfectly conceal his identity, when he set off from Beishebali, he also brought some female soldiers with him.
These female soldiers are from the Dyke tribe. They are no worse than men whether they are riding, shooting or fighting on foot. These female soldiers are now pretending to be his slaves and family members.
When Tuoba Mingde came east, he was led by two female soldiers who pretended to be his concubines. Most of the remaining female soldiers pretended to be maids, and a few pretended to be female slaves. Now that the country is in trouble and stranded in a foreign land, Tuoba Mingde has no choice.
Then, he summoned the four bodyguard commanders, two men and two women, and told them the information he had collected, and discussed a way out.
These people were surprised when they heard that such a big change had occurred in Timur's empire in a short period of time. But if you want to ask them for advice, don't count on them. They are just common men who are brave and good at fighting.
The strategy was far inferior to his ability to expand Mingde, so the four of them expressed their willingness to follow his arrangements and find a way out for this lonely army.
Tuoba Mingde thought hard for several days, and he actually came up with a solution: defect to Wala
There is obviously no place for him in Timur's empire, and the nearest non-Ming force is Oara.
But if he wanted to defect to Wala, be reused by him, and return to being a great general with a large number of troops in his hands and a commanding force, he needed an absolutely powerful stepping stone. Where did this stepping stone come from? Finally, he thought of the nomadic situation in the country at the moment.
A direct descendant of the Mongol Khan from Ganliang, Tuotuo Buhua.
He knew that Oara was now more powerful than the Tatars, but the biggest weakness of Oara who wanted to unify the Mongolian grasslands was that there was no direct descendant of the Golden Family who could call on the various Mongolian tribes. Although the Golden Family has become one of the nobles of the Mongolian tribes,
Although they are puppets, the Golden Family still has considerable appeal to many ordinary Mongolians.
This is like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the hands of Cao Cao. No matter which prince he falls into, he is a puppet at the mercy of others. But those who can control him can make a name for themselves and win the hearts of the people. The power of the Tatars is originally weaker than
Wala, just because Grand Master Arutai controlled Benyasili, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, was able to compete with Wala.
If he could steal Totu Buhua and give it to the three kings of Oara to be established as the Great Khan of Mongolia and compete with the Tatars for legitimacy, not only would the three kings of Oara reuse him, but the puppet Khan Totu Buhua would also have some influence.
When the time comes, it will be of use to him. So, Tuoba Mingde quietly inquired about the whereabouts of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
Soon, he found out about the whereabouts of Tuotuobuhua and his half-brother Agadorji through the Mongolians living in Suzhou. The two brothers were grazing at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. Their tribe raised a large number of animals.
He also mined jade for deer, and the women of the tribe also went up the mountain to pick snow mushrooms and other delicacies. Due to his special status, the Yi Qianhu Station of Suzhou Wei Town was stationed outside his tribe and gave him special care.
If Tuoba Mingde wants to steal Tuotuo Buhua, he must open up the joints. Even if he cannot bribe thousands of Zhenyi households for his use, he must establish a relationship with this Zhenyi Qianhu before he can pass through his defense zone. God
A large living person was stolen out unnoticed. So Tuoba Mingde tried every possible means to establish relations with this Zhenyi Qianhu in the name of purchasing goods from the tribes at the foot of Qilian Mountain.
During this period, Yu Jian was not with him. After arriving in Suzhou, Yu Jian immediately reported to Ji Gang the news about his meeting with Xia Xun in Beishi Bali. For such a distant place, Ji Gang was beyond his reach and had to ask him to act according to the situation.
.If Xia Xun is stranded in the Western Regions and cannot return, there is still an opportunity.
However, after news about Timur's empire came one after another, Tuoba Mingde's use value was almost gone. But Yu Jian was not in a hurry to report Tuoba Mingde, because once Tuoba Mingde was arrested, he would confess
If he had committed a crime, he might have told him about the attack on Xia Xun, but the news came from him. It was also not easy to kill Tuoba Mingde. There was even a woman beside Tuoba Mingde.
A brave and skilled warrior.
It was not easy to assassinate him and silence him. With the help of the Ganliang military force to arrest him, but also worried about implicate himself, this Tuoba Mingde turned out to be a hot potato in Yu Jian's hands, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Yu Jian had no choice but to go home with an excuse.
Shengqin first left Tuoba Mingde's side, hid himself in the dark, and then contacted Ji Gang and asked Ji Gang to quickly send the Jinyi Tiqi from the brigade to use his own people to solve this scourge.
If Tuoba Mingde was about to leave at this time, Yu Jian would have no choice but to watch him leave. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Mingde wanted to seek refuge in Wala, so he even had the idea of taking off his clothes without spending any money.
When Yu Jian left, Tuoba Mingde had not decided whether to stay or leave. When he decided to go to Wala without spending money, Yu Jian was no longer around. Without the help of this local expert, Tuoba Mingde decided to
I spent a lot of money to establish a relationship with the Qianhu Yiqianhu in Suzhou Wei Town. Finally, I finally established a relationship with the Qianhu Master through a Mongolian in this city.
At this moment, Tuoba Mingde was having a cup of wine with Mr. Shao Wangxinshao, a Qianhu in Zhenyi whom he had just met for a few days. He was very drunk.
"Haha, Mr. Qianhu, this is my first time doing business in Suzhou. I don't have much connections here. I would like to ask you to introduce me to me for this matter. Please help me a lot. Once everything is done, I will thank you very much."
After Tuoba Mingde clapped his hands, the curtain opened, and a graceful girl wearing a pomegranate red flower skirt walked in from the outside, greeted the two of them, glanced at Shao Qianhu shyly, and then
He stepped aside slowly.
This woman has deep eye sockets, a high nose, brown hair, clear facial features, and a slender and graceful figure. Her skin is slightly dark, but her wheat-colored skin is a bit healthier and sexy compared to her delicate and fair complexion.
Her vitality and bodybuilding are completely different from the original beauty of a woman, making her very conquerable for men.
Shao Qianhu's eyes lit up, he stared closely at this beautiful woman, and asked: "This is..."
Tuoba Mingde said: "Oh, I heard that you have come to Suzhou and will stay here for three or five days. How can you be alone without a woman to take care of you? This woman's name is Bilan, and I bought her from the Western Regions.
When a female slave comes back, let her be sent to serve the Lord. I hope Lord Qianhu will not dislike her."
Shao Qianhu touched the mustache on his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the lovely slave girl, hesitating in his heart: "I, Wan Songling, have always cheated money, not sex, sex, but not money, but this
Exotic beauties really have a unique flavor, should I make an exception?"
