Chapter 1025: Escape at Nightfall
"Alas! How could the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty be defeated! Seeing that Narsa was ready to die, Princess Anali couldn't help but sigh and said quietly.
Originally, Concubine Anali had high hopes for the Ming Western Expeditionary Army, believing that it would be able to drive away the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
But who wanted to play all the way, and the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty, which defeated the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army one after another, was defeated in Heishui City and Lanye City one after another, making the Eastern Chagatai Khanate fall into the hands of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty again, and the situation became more severe than before.
"If he commands the Western Expeditionary Army, the Western Expeditionary Army will definitely not be defeated." Narsa's face couldn't help but show a gloomy look, and the "he" in her mouth naturally referred to Li Yuntian.
Not to mention Li Yuntian's brilliant record of invincibility in the past, just when it comes to the importance of the war situation in the Western Regions, no one in the Ming Dynasty can match Li Yuntian, which means that Li Yuntian will be more cautious when marching and arranging the formation, and will definitely not give the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army a chance to take advantage of.
"Narsa, is the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty really as powerful as rumored?" Seeing that Narsa was full of confidence in Li Yuntian, Concubine Anali couldn't help but ask, now that the Western Expeditionary Army has defeated the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager will definitely send the most capable Xiaowu army to battle, and the person who commands the Xiaowu army must be the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, whether the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty can defeat the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan alliance in the Western Regions in a short period of time is crucial for Beswan Bali City, and if the Xiaowu army moves fast enough, then it can also arrive before Beshu Bali City is breached
"Concubine, among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, only the King of Zhongwu was later able to enter the Ming Dynasty as the king with a different surname, which is unique in the Ming Dynasty, and the only few kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty were only able to enter the seal after their deaths."
Hearing this, Narsa's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "On the surface, it seems that he is like an elegant scholar, but in fact, he has both civil and military, wisdom and bravery, and has not tasted defeat so far, if the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty are commanded by him, he will be able to turn the tide and turn the current situation in one fell swoop." ”
"Narsa, I'm relieved to see that you care so much about King Chungmu, who is not only good at fighting but also a good husband." Concubine Anali couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she could see that Narsa had a deep affection for Li Yuntian, which really surprised her, after all, Narsa and Li Yuntian had only been together for more than ten days, and it seemed that Li Yuntian also had a good set of women, which made Narsa quickly "fall".
"Princess, princess, this is the information just sent." Just then, a chamberlain walked in briskly, bowed down and handed Narsa a small sealed bamboo tube.
After Narsa returned to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Princess Anali asked the Great Khan of Monte to officially canonize her as the princess of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, after all, Narsa has become the concubine of King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is from the relationship between the two countries or personal feelings, Princess Anali wants to make Narsa a princess.
"Concubine, they had a party last night, and in three days they are going to unite several generals to force the palace." Narsa opened the small bamboo tube and took out a small note rolled together from it, and said to Concubine Anali with a serious expression after reading it.
The "they" in Narsha's mouth refers to the civil and military magnates who advocated surrender to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Beshbali City, and some ministers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate began to think about the future after Beshbali City was trapped, after all, there is no hope of breaking through, and it is better to take the initiative to find a way to survive than to sit and wait.
To put it mildly, even if the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan ruled the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, they needed someone to help them deal with their daily affairs, and they, the vassals of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, came in handy, and their identity and status would not be affected in the slightest, but they were replaced by a Great Khan.
"Hmph, they soft bones!" Concubine Anali couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, how could she not know the thoughts of those officials who advocated surrender, wanting to exchange Monte Khan for glory and wealth from the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
"Concubine, now the situation in the city is critical, in my opinion, it is better to transfer some troops from the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty to guard the palace." Narsa made a suggestion to Concubine Anali when she heard this, she was very familiar with the situation in Bessabali City, because of the fear of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and the lack of hope that the Ming army would come to relieve the siege, many officials in Besa Bali City had begun to plan a way out in private, preparing to surrender to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army outside the city.
At this moment, Narsa couldn't help but think of Li Yuntian's foresight, when he left the capital last year, Li Yuntian asked the guards of the Zhongwu Palace, who were born as military attachés in the martial arts hall, to protect her safety, and to be responsible for contacting the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army.
In fact, those guards did more to replace Narsa to contact the Western Expeditionary Army, although the highest rank of those guards was only major, but they were not only born in the martial arts class, but also Li Yuntian's bodyguards, including the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, Song Hai, the Duke of Wuguo, attached great importance to their opinions.
Therefore, if Narsa asked the military attache of the major to contact Bai An, the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army and the Marquis of An Yong, on the pretext of protecting herself, then Bai An would definitely send the Western Expeditionary Army to the palace for protection.
Compared with those armies of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty was obviously more trustworthy and would never betray the interests of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate royal family in order to surrender the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
"That's fine, wait until tomorrow you send someone to the military camp of the Western Expeditionary Army to find the Marquis of Bai'an."
Concubine Anali hesitated for a moment and nodded to Narsa, she originally didn't want her family to be publicized and let the Western Expeditionary Army know that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was facing civil strife, but now the situation is critical, she doesn't know how many civil and military officials are ready to surrender to the enemy, so the safest and safest way now is to transfer the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty.
"Narsa, what does King Zhongwu like, let's prepare in advance when he comes." Then, Concubine Anali changed her mind and asked Narsa with a smile, changing the topic to a lighter topic.
"I really don't know." Narsa couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on her face when she heard this, and explained to Princess Anali with some embarrassment, "After becoming a child, the prince only went home twice, and each time he was busy in the study until late at night, and I haven't had time to find out what the prince likes." ”
"Then prepare our special dishes for King Zhongwu." Concubine Anali's eyes couldn't help flashing a look of surprise, she didn't expect Li Yuntian's official business to be so busy, she only accompanied Narsa for two nights after getting married, but then she was relieved, after all, the Ming Dynasty is vast and Li Yuntian is busy with heavy duties.
"I really hope he can come soon, if he knows that we are trapped here, he will definitely send troops to rescue." Narsha had a look of anticipation on her face when she heard this, and she had a hunch that Li Yuntian would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Bali City being attacked by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
"I hope so." Concubine Anali did not have such high hopes as Narsa, and sighed worriedly, after all, Bali City was too far away from the Guanxi of the Ming Dynasty, and even if Li Yuntian could mobilize a large army to come to the Western Regions, it would not be easy to defeat the powerful Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army.
At dawn, the city was shrouded in silence, except for the heavily armed soldiers patrolling the city walls.
"Princess, Lord Liu urgently asks to see you." In her sleep, Narsa was woken up by a maid, who said in a panicked voice.
Narsha couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, Lord Liu was the major military attache sent by Li Yuntian to protect her, named Liu Sheng, and if there was no important situation, he would definitely not come to the palace late at night.
"Escort Liu, why are you dressed like this?" Narsa realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly put on her clothes to go to see Liu Sheng, when she saw Liu Sheng standing at the door of the room, she couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Liu Sheng was wearing a black night suit, and it didn't seem to be the palace that was entering the palace in the open.
"Concubine Shu, the army guarding the palace has defected, and now the way out of the palace has been blocked, and the rebels are preparing to kidnap the Great Khan and the concubine out of the city tomorrow to surrender." Liu Sheng bowed to Narsa and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Niangniang, the lowly position has arranged a way out, please quickly take the Great Khan and the concubine out of the palace with the lowly post to the garrison of the Western Expeditionary Army." ”
"What?" Narsa was taken aback when she heard this, she thought that those civil and military ministers who wanted to surrender would only do it three days later, but she didn't expect them to start acting today.
"Okay, this concubine will let people inform the Great Khan and the concubine." Although she was extremely surprised, Narsa naturally believed Liu Sheng, and after a deep groan, she said to Liu Sheng, "Liu Guard, if the Great Khan and the concubine escape this catastrophe, you will have made a great contribution to our Khanate." ”
"Concubine Niangniang, this is a lowly duty." Liu Sheng bowed to Narsa when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice, in fact, he didn't care about the Great Khan of Monte and Princess Anali of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, his duty was to protect Narsa, if it wasn't for the protection of Narsa, he wouldn't have lost the Bali City secretly moving around, and then learned the news of the rebellion of the palace defenders.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Narsa did not dare to slack off and hurriedly changed into the clothes of a maid and went to see Concubine Anali in person, and Concubine Anali was also taken aback by the news, and secretly said in her heart that it was dangerous.
If it weren't for Liu Sheng, the consequences would be unimaginable, who would have thought that the defenders of the palace would mutiny, you must know that this is the guard of Monte Khan, and it is Monte Khan's cousin who is in charge of this army.
In order to avoid startling the grass and alarming the guards in the palace, Concubine Anali also changed into the clothes of a maid, secretly sent someone to call Monte Khan, the queen and the prince, and quietly followed Liu Sheng to a remote courtyard wall in the palace.
When Liu Sheng cleared a place where weeds had accumulated, Narsa, Princess Anali and the others were surprised to find that there was a hole under the courtyard wall that was just enough to accommodate a person to enter and exit.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Narsa, Concubine Anali, and Monte Khan naturally didn't care about their identities at this time, and leaned over one after another and crawled out of the cave.
