On the third day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, after the Turpan envoy Muhaner left Suzhou, he immediately hurried back to Anle City. Xu Jin, the Duke of Jingguo of the Ming Dynasty, refused to negotiate peace and reconciliation, and the lion opened his mouth, demanding that Turpan return the Seven Guards of Guanxi, plus compensation of five million taels of silver, and threatened to receive a reply within ten days, otherwise he would send troops to attack Turpan.

Although Muhan'er's official position in Turpan was not high, he also understood that it was absolutely impossible for Mansuer Khan to agree to these conditions put forward by Xu Jin, so it was inevitable that the two countries would go to war.

Therefore, Muhan'er did not dare to slack off, and in order to transmit the news back as soon as possible, he even hurried all night long, and reminded all towns along the way to raise their vigilance to deal with the attack that the Ming army was about to launch.

It took Muhan'er four days to travel about 2,000 miles from Jiayuguan to Anle City, the capital of Turpan, and on the seventh day of the sixth month, he finally rushed back to Anle City and informed Mansuer Khan of the results of this mission.

Sure enough, Man Suer Khan was furious after hearing this, slapped his palm on the case, and scolded: "The surname Xu is too arrogant and arrogant, and he actually asked Ben Khan to return the seven guards of Kansai and compensate five million taels of silver, which is simply whimsical, okay, if you want to fight, you will fight, and Ben Khan will accompany you to the end, are you still afraid that you will not succeed." ”

All the civil and military forces present were solemn, no one dared to answer, Man Su'er was even more angry when he saw this, and snorted coldly: "Could it be that you are all scared by the people of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

A Wenchen wearing a white hat stepped forward and said cautiously: "The Great Khan is angry, we are not cowardly, but the situation is not optimistic, a few days ago, Hami came to report, Wara Sanhad and Tuluohuo led the army to approach, obviously echoing the Ming army, if the Ming army and Warat join forces and launch an attack from two fronts, our army may not be able to resist." ”

Mansuer Khan's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "According to what you say, should Ben Khan give the seven guards of Guanxi and five million taels of silver to the people of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

The white-hatted Wenchen shuddered smartly, and hurriedly said: "That's not what the minister meant, the minister thinks...... Should we send another envoy to negotiate with the Ming people? Even if we fail to negotiate in the end, we can delay for some time, and we can take the opportunity to deploy troops and strengthen our defenses. ”

Man Su'er's face turned a little pale, and he waved his hand and said: "No need, since the surnamed Xu dares to open his mouth like this, it is clear that he is looking for an excuse to use the sword soldiers, and then sending a messenger to go, it is just a waste of time, and there are still six days, which is enough for us to deploy."

As for the Warat people, they have just suffered a big loss from the Ming people, how can they be willing to help the Ming people, so there is no need to worry too much about the Hami side, as long as we resist the attack of the Ming army, the Warat people will definitely not get involved. The old fox Sanhad, Ben Khan knows very well, but he just wants to take advantage of the fisherman, so he will definitely not make a move until the situation is unclear. ”

I have to say that Man Suer does analyze the situation very thoroughly, and he will not be a fool to sit in his position!

At this time, Prime Minister Abla came out and said: "What the Great Khan said is extremely true, but once we engage the Ming army unfavorably, Sanhad will definitely fall into the well without hesitation, so the old minister thinks that he should send an envoy to make a false appointment to temporarily stabilize the Warat people." ”

Man Su'er nodded when he heard the words and said, "Okay, just follow what Zaisang said." ”

Abla continued: "The Ming army is strong, and it is difficult to resist it with the strength of our Turpan alone, and the Great Khan should also send envoys to lobby Yibra and Yarkand to jointly resist the attack of the Ming army." ”

Man Su'er's brows suddenly furrowed, and it was enough to send someone to envoy Yibra, but if he sent an envoy to Yarkand for help, he categorically couldn't save face.

As mentioned earlier, the current Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate is Mansuer's own brother Sayid, and to be precise, it should be the third brother.

As the saying goes, "fight the tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers", but there is also a sentence called "the most ruthless emperor's family", the supreme power has the supreme temptation, for the sake of power cannibalism, almost all dynasties have been staged, for example, Sayid once created his eldest brother Mansuer Khan's rebellion, and he also did it with his second brother Helilie.

Unfortunately, however, the rebellion between Sayid and Helied failed, and after the second brother Heliel was killed, Sayid went into exile in the area of the Green Mountains (Pamirs), where he took refuge with a distant cousin, but then Sayid came to work, and his cousin was killed by a hostile force, and Sayid took over his cousin's 5,000 men.

After that, Sayid began to make a fortune, constantly annexing nearby forces, and finally unified the Tarim River area in Xinjiang, and ascended the throne as Khan, the capital of Shache, and the power continued to develop to the north and east, and finally returned to Turpan under his nose, and established the Yarkand Khanate, which was larger than Turpan.

The younger brother who rebelled in the past and wanted his own life came back and established a powerful country bordering him.

So, don't look at Sayide and Man Suer are brothers, but they hate each other to the core, Man Suer has sent troops to fight against Yeerjiang several times, but unfortunately they can't get cheap, and even suffered a small loss, so at this time, Prime Minister Abula actually suggested that Man Suer unite with Yarkand to fight against Daming, how can he save this face?

When Prime Minister Abla saw Mansuer Khan's expression, he naturally understood what was going on, and persuaded: "The Great Khan and Sa'id Khan are brothers after all, and now that the enemy is present, temporarily put aside prejudices and unite against the Ming ......"

Man Su'er's face sank, and he interrupted coldly without waiting for Abula to finish speaking: "You don't need to say it, Ben Khan will not beg him even if he dies, this chaotic minister and thief, Ben Khan can't wait to kill him quickly, it is impossible to unite with him, not to mention that this traitor will definitely not agree to unite, why should Ben Khan take his own humiliation and send his face to others!" ”

Abulah sighed when he heard this, and he stopped admonishing him.

Next, Man Su'er was full of ambition to dispatch troops and prepare to compete with the Ming army. Although I heard that the army is very strong and the firearms are very sharp, but Man Suer is also very confident in his army, he is a war maniac himself, and the army under his command has experienced a hundred battles, and his combat power is very strong, plus he is fighting at home, he may not be the opponent of the Ming army.

However, Man Su'er ignored one point, Xu Jin said that if he was given ten days to think about it, would he really give him ten days?

……

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, that is, the day after the Turpan envoy Muhaner left Suzhou, Xu Jin returned to Jiayuguan from Suzhou, summoned all the fierce generals to the tent, and after a day of discussion, finally finalized the plan to send troops.

The sun sets, the afterglow shines on the city head of Jiayuguan, the wind desert desert, the heat wave is pressing.

The generals came out of the tent one after another, and the Yulin chief soldier Pei Lao ruffian glanced at Yu Linsheng, the general soldier of Datong, and said triumphantly: "Thanks to the marshal, this time the Yulin army will be led by the general soldier, and before sunset tomorrow, Lao Tzu will definitely take the red gold, haha, Yu Manzi, I'm sorry, this time the head is our Yulin army." ”

The so-called Chijin, that is, Chijin Town, is located about one hundred and fifty miles west of Jiayuguan, was originally one of the seven guards of Guanxi, the seat of the Chijin Mongolian Guard, and now the Turpan people also stationed two thousand soldiers and horses there.

Therefore, the first stronghold that the Ming army wants to take is Chijin Town, Xu Jin assigned this task to Pei Xingjin, which is equivalent to giving the first credit to the Yulin army, and it is no wonder that Pei Lao Ruffian will be embarrassed in front of Yu Linsheng.

Yu Linsheng sneered unhappily and said: "Pei Lao ruffian, Lao Tzu persuaded you to be too little, don't win the first work when you arrive, but become the head gong of the Turpan people!" ”

"Bah, let your mother's fart, just two thousand Turpan soldiers, Lao Tzu can all collapse to death if he farts, you are still worried about whether you can take Kuyu Valley, hehe!" After Pei Lao Ruffian finished speaking, he held his head high and walked away very arrogantly.

Kuyu Valley is located about 80 miles northwest of Chijin, was originally one of the seven guards of Kansai, the seat of Shazhou Wei, after being occupied by Turpan, Turpan also stationed 2,000 men there.

"Cut, let's take a look at this guy's virtue, his tail is up to the sky, if you don't win the first work, Lao Tzu will see where you put your face!" Yu Linsheng shook his face and walked in the other direction with his head held high.

Jing Dachu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, shook his head helplessly, these two guys are really the wrong gods, alas, why did the marshal give me the task of attacking Guazhou City?

It is worth mentioning here that Guazhou City is located in the northwest of Kuyu Valley for nearly 200 miles, it was once the seat of the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate, guarding the throat of the Hexi Corridor, to the north is Hami, to the southwest is Dunhuang, the geographical location is very important, and because of this, Guazhou has a city, and the scale is not small.

After Turpan occupied the seven guards of Guanxi, it was stationed in Guazhou, Dunhuang, and Hami with heavy troops to guard, with more than 5,000 troops, plus there were cities to defend it, so it was not easy to capture it.

It's just that Jing Dachu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is good at defending and not attacking, and his reputation among the generals is also the weakest, Xu Jin actually sent him to attack Guazhou, which is really incomprehensible, even Jing Dachu himself is very puzzled, whether it is Pei Lao Ruffian or Yu Manzi, they are stronger than themselves! However, the military orders are like a mountain, and the marshal has divided all the tasks down, and he has to carry them out.

Seeing that Jing Dachu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, walked away, Wu Changwei, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, who had a chance to attend the meeting, couldn't help but ask Xie Sangun next to him in a low voice: "Chief soldier Xie, didn't Grandpa Guo say that the people of Turpan should be given ten days to think about it?" Why will we send troops tomorrow? ”

Xie Sangun said with a smile: "Don't be naïve, Lord Wu, when the Turpan people finish thinking about it, I'm afraid that the mounts of this general soldier will all drink water in the crescent spring in Dunhuang, and Sun Tzu said, the soldiers are not tired of cheating!" ”

Wu Changwei couldn't help but gasp, tsk, the reader is really insidious, what a saint disciple, what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are all bullshit, no wonder people's nickname Xu Changsheng, really don't play cards according to common sense, high, really high!
