The banquet in the evening was very lively, and the generals who participated in the banquet were extremely excited after learning of the good news in Kansai, and they chatted and laughed with each other.

As long as the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan concentrated their forces to eliminate the Northern Expeditionary Army in Guanxi this time, then there would be no Ming army in Guanxi and the northwest that could stop their eastward advance, and glory and wealth were just around the corner.

Manhei was very interested in the banquet, and even toasted Agu with a glass of wine, and finally left the banquet with a little drunkenness, and led the people to the prison of Jiuquan City in a menacing manner.

When Mangu came out of the prison, several guards behind him carried objects wrapped in white cloth, and blood kept dripping down the white cloth, not only staining the bottom of the white cloth, but also leaving a long blood trail on the road.

Obviously, those white cloths were wrapped in human heads, and under the order of the brute black, the guards carrying white cloth bags went to the city gate of the south city, took out the bloody human heads and hung them on the wall of the city gate, and the blood flowed down the city wall, which looked very terrifying in the moonlight.

The next morning, the people who entered and exited the south gate saw at a glance the heads hanging on the city wall, and they were hung there with ropes tied to their heads, and because their faces were covered by messy hair, they could not see clearly, and they heard that they were several high-ranking generals of the Ming army who had been captured.

"Sacrifice your life for righteousness!" Looking at the few hanging heads, the people were full of admiration in private, and at the same time felt hopeless about their future life, if they were ruled by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, they would not have a good life.

In Jiuquan City, the life of the people is undoubtedly the most miserable, because the food has been looted away by the Timurid Empire and the army of the Northern Yuan, they are now only starving, even the bark and wild vegetables have become hungry food, which makes them hate these invaders even more, looking forward to the Ming army can fight back as soon as possible, at least when the Ming army is there, they can eat enough, and will not be bullied by those fierce soldiers.

It's just that no one thought that the heads hanging on the city wall were not from the Ming generals, but from the Ming army that surrendered in the city.

In addition to the Northern Yuan soldiers, the soldiers of the Timurid Empire, the Western Regions Servant Army and the Guanxi Army, there are actually 5,000 Ming troops in Jiuquan City, because the high-level of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty are gathered in Jiuquan City, so they dare not let too many Ming troops surrender in the city, so as not to have accidents.

The main role of those Ming troops is to collect taxes, to put it bluntly, they go to the countryside to grab grain, and they are dogs in the eyes of the people.

In addition, the Ming army also guarded the 20,000 Ming prisoners of war in the city together with the Northern Yuan soldiers, and originally Tuhuan and Khordu Khan wanted to take these Ming prisoners of war for their own use, but unfortunately these prisoners of war would rather die than surrender, so they could only be locked up first, and later became slaves of high-ranking officials of the two countries.

In the next two days, every morning there would be a few bloody heads on the wall of the city gate of Nancheng, which were said to be the heads of the Ming generals, which made the people feel sorry and angry, but they were helpless, how could they be the opponents of the enemy army such as the heavily armed Northern Yuan soldiers?

On the evening of the third day, the Turpan army camp.

Lu Ba looked at the military map of the Jiuquan area in the camp tent with a serious expression, and he had to explain that the army's military map was so well made that he was amazed, which showed the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he had to hold on to Jiuquan City, Ruba now had to understand the topography of the Jiuquan area in order to command the battle in the future.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a general of the Great Yuan who wants to see His Highness." The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a guard walked in and bowed.

Since Mohu Timur had already been called the king of Turpan, Ruba was the prince in the eyes of the people of Turpan.

"Please!" Hearing this, Lu Ba's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he straightened up and said quietly, feeling a little surprised that Beiyuan came at this time.

Soon, a man who looked like a Mongolian general was brought in by the guards, and Ruba looked up and down and felt that this person was a little confused, but he didn't care, after all, there were many troops stationed in Jiuquan City, and it was impossible for him to know every general of the Northern Yuan.

"You may be seated." Therefore, Ruba stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the Mongol general, secretly guessing the other party's intention.

"General Ruba, the general has come to discuss with the general on important matters this time." After the Mongolian general sat down, he glanced at several Turpan guards in the room, and said to Ruba in a deep voice.

Ruba's brow furrowed, and then he waved at the guards in the room, motioning for them to stand down, he was a military general himself, so he was not worried that Ruba would not be good for him.

"General Luba, there is one thing I am afraid you don't know, my Ming Zhongwu King defeated Wendu in the ancient city of Dunhuang with the assistance of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and annihilated Wendu's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, so that Wendu only led more than 1,000 horsemen to flee to Jiayu Pass!"

After the guards left, the Mongolian general's face turned pale, and he looked at Ruba solemnly and said, "Now, the people of Xichagatai and the Northern Yuan Dynasty are ready to flee, and Jiuquan City will become a lonely city that will hold down the official army in the northwest of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"You...... You are a man of the Ming Dynasty! Ruba was taken aback when he heard this, and his right hand couldn't help but press on the handle of his waist knife, and looked at the Mongolian general in front of him with a wary face, never expecting that he would dare to break into his military camp.

"This official's name is Tengge, born in the Mongolian Uliangha Department, he is a military attache in the martial arts, and he came to persuade him to surrender on the orders of the Zhongwu King and the Zhongguo Gong, hoping that General Ruba can recognize the current situation!" The Mongolian general smiled slightly when he saw this, and revealed his identity, he was Tengge, who had been connected with the brute black.

"Hmph, you dare to come to the general's tent to persuade you to surrender, I think you are looking for death!" Hearing this, Luba's brows furrowed even deeper, he glared at Tengge coldly, and shouted out the door, "Someone! ”

The guards outside the door opened the curtain and rushed in with a bang, encircling Tengge with a menacing attitude.

"General Ruba, what this official said is true, if you don't believe it, this official can stay here for a few days." Tengge glanced at the fierce soldier in front of him, smiled slightly, and said to Luba, "The officers and troops in the northwest will arrive in Jiuquan City in three days, if this official is not mistaken, tomorrow Ade will tell you that he is leaving Jiuquan City to go to Kansai to participate in the war, and then you will become a substitute for the dead!" ”

The reason why Tengge did not panic was because he knew that Ruba did not really want to arrest him, but doubted his identity, so as not to set a trap by Beiyuan to test him.

"Take him down!" Seeing Tengge's expression as usual, Luba's brows furrowed again, and he gave an order in a deep voice.

"I've been tired enough these days, and now I can finally get a good night's sleep." Tengge stood up, stretched lazily, and left with the guards.

"Your Highness, this guy is too arrogant, do you want him to suffer a little?" Looking at Tengge's back, Ruba's guard captain sneered and asked.

"Good hospitality." Ruba groaned for a while, waved his hand to the captain of the guard, and commanded word by word, Tengge's calmness made him feel that he might really be a member of the Ming army, if things were really as Tengge said, Wendu was defeated in the ancient city of Dunhuang, if he offended Tengge, he would ruin his future future.

As Tengge had guessed, the reason why Ruba was showing a posture of wanting to take him down and ask him for his guilt was precisely because he suspected that Tengge was sent by Ade to test him, and if he didn't deal with it carefully, he would probably die.

Since Ruba can't determine the authenticity of Tengge's identity now, he wants to see if what Tengge said is true, if Ade really announces tomorrow that he will lead his army to Kansai to participate in the war, then there is a chance that what Tengge said is true.

The reason is very simple, Jiuquan City is the most important city east of Jiayuguan for the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and it can be said that they are an important military town in the northwest.

And once Ade leaves, it means that the battle situation in Kansai is really as bad as Tengge said, and Ade is undoubtedly trying to escape for his life.

As for Tengge is really a Northern Yuan general sent by Ade to test him, Ruba also has enough words to deal with it, and he can use the interrogation of Tengge to be perfunctory, after all, he can't hand Tengge over to Ade in a daze, at least to find out Tengge's true identity.

The next day, Ruba spent the day in an anxious mood, and since the morning he had been paying close attention to Ade's movements, but unfortunately Ade's mansion was calm and unusual.

Just when Ruba thought that the day would be spent peacefully, after dinner, Ade sent people to gather all the high-ranking generals of Jiuquan City, and announced that tomorrow he would lead the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty to Jiayuguan to strengthen the strength of the defenders of Jiayuguan and prevent Jiayuguan from being broken by the Ming army in the northwest.

In addition, Ruba Rang accepted the order of the chief general and deputy general of Jiuquan City, Ruba as the chief general of Jiuquan City, responsible for defending the west gate and the north gate, Agu and Manhei as the deputy generals, of which Agu was in charge of the east gate and Manhei was in charge of the south gate.

It is worth mentioning that although Ade assigned specific tasks to Ruba, Agu and Manhei, since the three of them defended the city, they could be said to be both prosperous and lossy, so they must support each other, otherwise once a city gate is breached, then all the people in the city will be finished.

Ade comforted Luba, Agu, Manhei and others that the war in Guanxi would soon be over, let them hold on to Jiuquan City, and the armies of Timur and Northern Yuan would soon enter the pass again, and the northwest would become their world at that time.

For Ade's reassuring words, the brute black heart sneered, Luba's expression became a little solemn, only Agu seemed to be in high spirits, dreaming of his Kansai king.

"General Agu stays!" After the discussion, Ade left Agu behind, and Manhei and Ruba and the others bowed down and retreated, and each returned to the camp to prepare.

When leaving, Manhei couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Agu who was going to the side room with Ade, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was extremely serious.
