"Whew! Call! Chang An gasped and sat back to back with Zhao Xing.

"It's kind of surviving. first guarded the gap, and the western captives rushed up as if they were not dying, and rushed through the gap several times to kill in; There was another artillery bombardment next to it, although now that I think about it, I didn't fire a few shots in total, but I was also afraid! Chang An was still apprehensive about the battle at that time. The attack of the West is really crazy.

Then he attacked the siege of Silu. These Western captives were like crazy, and they almost hit them a few times. Anyway, it's certain death, why can't you lead your neck and wait for death! ”

He complained for a while, and suddenly his face softened again, and he looked at the other guards who were passing by a few steps away, and said: "Hold this gap, and completely annihilate the Xiyu infantry, this western expedition can be regarded as a victory, I see that the commander is very happy, and keeps muttering, 'Finally, the victory has been won'." ”

"Then it's time to reward meritorious deeds. Let's hold this gap and break through the formation of the Western Prisoners, and the reward will be indispensable! I'm a hundred households now, at least I have to be promoted to a thousand, right? You are the deputy Qianhu, and it is time to be promoted to the commander of the affairs. ”

"And the reward of all kinds of goods. If only I could be rewarded with a piece of silk to be used on. My family used to be a commanding daughter of the King of Qi's guards, and she was not used to her current life, and after I became a hundred households, she was clamoring to buy silk to make a coat, saying that it was more decent to wear it out. If I can get a horse of silk to use in the court, I will split half of it to make clothes for her. ”

"The other half was given to the old lady and the eldest sister and second sister. It just so happens that the eldest young master is here, and he pleads with him, even if he can't be transferred back to the capital, he will give us a few months off and go home to see. ”

Chang An kept talking.

Zhao Xing just listened quietly and didn't speak, but he thought the same as Chang An in his heart. This expedition can be described as full of dangers, I almost died in battle last night, and I was almost killed several times today, and now that the battle has been won, it is also time to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and it is easy to relax.

Just thinking about it, Qin Sen walked over here, as if he was going to give some order. When Chang An saw him, he shouted loudly: "Commander, the battle has been won, it's time to reward meritorious deeds, right?" ”

"Of course, if the battle is won, we must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, but now there is another thing for our guard to do!" Qin Sen said.

He paused and was about to continue speaking, when he heard Chang An say: "Commander, don't you want us to pursue the fleeing Xiyu, right?" Those Western captives are all cavalry, we are all infantry, and we only have two legs to outrun others! ”

"Put your heart back in your belly, not for us to go after Xiyu! This time, we have a good job! Qin Sen smiled, and then said in a loud voice: "The soldiers of the Yongming Left Guard, all stand up and escort His Majesty to the Chinese army in the west!" ”

"Escort Your Majesty?" The crowd was amazed. Can such a good thing still fall on their heads?

"It's to escort Your Majesty!" Qin Sen said loudly: "Your Majesty has made great contributions to our guards in this battle, and decided to let us escort them, and the rewards after that will be richer than those of other guards!" ”

"Long live Your Majesty!" A group of people suddenly shouted excitedly. Escorting the emperor was a great honor, not to mention that the reward would be even richer, they were all very excited at this time, and some of them were even so excited by this huge good news that they felt a little dizzy and sat on the ground for a while.

After that, Qin Sen counted the soldiers who were not injured in the guard and rushed to escort Yun Xi.

It's just that after everyone calmed down, a question suddenly arose in their hearts: 'What is Your Majesty going to the Chinese army in Xilu to do at this time?' ’

……

……

"Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that it is a bit risky for Your Majesty to personally go to the outside of the Chinese army in Xilu to wait for Timur to come out and surrender, if Timur himself is like Jesbu and just wants to play a trick on Your Majesty, how about it?" Even though the Yongming Left Guard, who had come to escort Yun Xi to the Western Army, had already rushed outside, Xu Huizu still admonished. Not only him, but almost all the generals admonished.

It turned out that Lan Zhen, the Duke of Liang, led his troops to attack the Xilu Chinese army, and after eliminating the soldiers on the periphery and entering the innermost layer, suddenly a Xilu soldier came with a white flag and told him that the Great Khan of Samarkand was inside and was willing to surrender, but put forward several conditions, one of which was to let the emperor of the Ming State come to the outside of the Chinese army in person.

"The Great Khan is the greatest monarch in the center and the west of the entire continent, at least equal to the status of the emperor of your Ming Kingdom, and according to his age, he is still the grandfather of your emperor, and if he wants our Great Khan to surrender, he must come to greet him personally. If the emperor of your Ming Kingdom does not come, the Great Khan would rather commit suicide. The man who came to convey Timur's meaning said.

Lan Zhen was very surprised. Of course, he saw the banner of Timur himself, which had been standing by the Chinese army, but he always thought that this was Timur's move to encourage people's hearts, and he himself had already fled on horseback, but he did not expect it to be there.

He hesitated for a moment, and after a while offered to send someone to take a look, to make sure that it was really Timur himself. When the man agreed, he sent a man who had been a laborer in Samarkand and had met Timur several times. After this man came back, he told Lan Zhen very certainly: "That person is Timur, and that bearing is definitely not something that ordinary people can disguise." ”

Lan Zhen immediately sent someone to report the matter to Yun Xi. After thinking about it, Yunxi agreed to Timur's conditions, which provoked Xu Huizu and others to admonish one after another.

At this time, he said: "I understand all Aiqing's concerns, but I still have to go to see him in person. ”

"First, Timur, as the king of a country, will not lose his identity like Jesbu, and your worries are a little too much; Second, if I can capture Timur, the impact will be huge, and I will always give it a try. ”

In fact, there is a third, Yun Xi really wants to talk to Timur face to face. Although Timur's reputation in later generations is not good, of course, the current reputation is not good, but even those who hate him cannot help but admit that he is a very powerful monarch, and Yunxi wants to talk to such a person who has left a great name in history.

"Your Majesty, however, Timur has always been known for his brutality in the West, and it may not be as Your Majesty thinks." Xu Huizu said again. Of course, he knew the benefits of capturing Timur alive, but he persuaded anyway.

"You don't have to persuade again, I've made up my mind." Yun Xi said firmly. When the people saw this, they could only stop persuading.

Yun Xi ordered them a few more words, left here, and came to the place where the soldiers of the Yongming Left Guard who were guarding him were, Qin Sen immediately knelt down when he saw him and said: "Minister, Qin Sen has seen Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Then he said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for commanding the army to defeat the Western Prisoners, and let the soldiers set up immortal martial arts!" The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future! ”

The person behind him also immediately said: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live long live long live!" Congratulations to Your Majesty for commanding the army to defeat the Western Warriors and let the soldiers set up immortal martial arts! The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future! ”

"Excuse me." Yun Xi smiled. This battle is indeed a merit in the present and a benefit in the future, but he didn't believe that Qin Sen could see it, and he just found a few sentences to pat himself on the back. However, he still felt very happy, and praised: "Yongming Zuowei has made great achievements in this battle, and he is the head of all armies, and I will never hesitate to reward him." ”

"After that, I will hold a celebration banquet in Yiwu, and all the soldiers of Yongming Zuowei who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded with a table of imperial banquets!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The people fell to their knees again and shouted aloud. Yun Xi was busy with them again. Qin Sen led his subordinates to thank Yun Xi for his grace, and then stood up and led them to escort Yun Xi to the outside of the Chinese army in Xiyu.

"Victorious! Win! On the way out of the Chinese army, Yun Xi kept hearing people cheering very excitedly. There are third- and fourth-grade high-ranking officials who serve as commanders and commanders, as well as general flags and small flags that have not yet entered the stream, and there are no big soldiers in any ranks. Almost all of them shouted loudly with great joy and celebrated the victory.

This is not the defeat of a small country, this is the country of Samarkand. After more than a year of propaganda by Yunxi, especially focusing on propaganda in the army, now even illiterate soldiers know that Samarkand is the most powerful country in the entire West, with a million armor, a land radius of thousands of miles, and the country is comparable to the Ming Dynasty.

But such a powerful country was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers had every reason to be happy about it.

Yun Hee was also very happy. Not only because of the defeat of Xilu, but also because the soldiers were so happy. "The army that fought against Samarkand this time was requisitioned from the whole northern region, and there were some guards of the Huguang Metropolitan Division, and after that, they will no longer be afraid of any war, because even Samarkand can win it, and who else can defeat them? The morale of all the guards in the entire Ming Dynasty can be improved. Yoon-hee smiled and muttered to herself.

"What does Your Majesty command?" Qin Sen heard Yun Xi's self-talk, but he didn't hear it clearly, and asked.

"Nothing." Yun Xi said casually, remembered something, and said to him with a smile: "Qin Sen, you insisted on participating in the Western Expedition against your brother's words this time, which can be regarded as the right thing. With your merits, I have decided to knight you, and now your status is higher than that of Qin Song. "Of course, he knows everything about the Qin family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor!" Qin Sen immediately bowed down and said, as if he wanted to kneel.

"If you're marching, you don't have to kneel." Yun Xi said.

After that, Yun Xi wanted to say a few more words to him, but at this time, he had already walked outside the Samarkand Central Army, and Lan Zhen led people forward to salute, so he had to turn around and talk to Lan Zhen.

"Tell Timur that I have come outside the Chinese army, and let him come out and surrender!" Yun Xi said.

Lan Zhen waved his hand, and suddenly hundreds of soldiers shouted in Mongolian in unison: "Timur, the Great Khan of Samarkand, my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has come, please come out and surrender!" ”

They were about to shout again after shouting, when they suddenly heard a voice from the improvised simple enclosure: "Has the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom already come?" ”

The crowd then looked in the direction from which the voice came. Immediately, an old man walked out surrounded by more than a dozen people.
