Xia Xun rushed to Hami and prepared to send troops from King Hami to send him back to Xiliang.
During this period, Xia Xun met with Feng Fierce Yan, who had just recovered from his injuries, and visited some soldiers who were temporarily stranded in Hami due to injuries and disabilities, and naturally wanted to bring them back to Ganliang when he left.
King Hami Tokhoff even came to a large banquet and invited guests to wash the dust for Xia Xun to celebrate his immortality and finally get out.
Since the strong enemy has retreated, the solicitation of the hearts and minds of the people in the Western Regions is not something that can be done in a short time, and Xia Xun's method of eradicating dissidents by iron-blooded means on the sandbank will not work here, so Xia Xun is not interested in having a banquet with the Hami bureaucrats.
Five days later, the people who should be summoned and pacified have also seen, Xia Xun asked to leave immediately, King Hami very much hoped that this important minister of the court would stay in Hami for a longer time, which was very useful for him to expand his influence and consolidate his position, but he also knew that Xia Xun had been missing for half a year, and he was already like an arrow, so he did not dare to stay, so he immediately arranged for a camel team to ride and take care of Xia Xun on the road.
At this time, the secret envoy carrying Xia Xun's letter had already pretended to be a small caravan and had been on the road for several days.
Since the end of last year, because the war is approaching, the merchants are extinct, some qualified gentry have fled the local area and moved to the inland, so this place is much more desolate, and now because the army of the Timurid Empire has withdrawn to Samarkand, the war has been lifted, and soon the prosperity has been restored.
Tuoba Mingde is in Suzhou City at the moment, renting a village.
This village is a lower courtyard of the Suzhou gentry Ma family.
Because of the fear that the Timurid army would be killed in front of Jiayu Pass, they would suffer from the disaster of pond fish, and the Ganliang clan with conditions withdrew to Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, and only a few people were left to take care of the village here.
In order to implement the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, Song Sheng, the general of Pingqiang, moved the wealthy merchants and giants of the sandbank to Jiayuguan, and Tuoba Mingde followed the situation into the pass.
Tuoba Mingde also pretended to rent a courtyard, which was the lower courtyard of the Ma family.
Originally, Tuoba Mingde has been stranded near Jiayuguan and refused to retreat inward, because when Timur's army arrived, he was responsible for the internal and external cooperation, opening Jiayuguan, and letting Timur's army enter the city.
When the magnates and rich gentry of Shazhou returned to Dunhuang one after another, Tuoba Mingde did not rush to follow, because he did not have a place to live in Shazhou, for the time being, the rich gentry of all parties were busy reorganizing their homes, and they would not gather caravans to trade in the West for a while, and he could only stay there when he arrived at Shazhou, what is the difference between him and here Moreover, he was a close associate of Soyah, the general of the Timurid Empire stationed in Beshbali, and now he has received the news that after his Royal Highness Sultan Hari learned that Timur Khan had died of illness, he had launched a mutiny, placed Gesuyaddin under house arrest, killed Soyah, took his army in his hands, and drove him back to Samarkand.
Don't lose Bali at this moment is equivalent to a quarter in the hands of the Ming Court, a quarter in the hands of Wara, and two-quarters under the control of His Highness Harry, he doesn't know the situation, if he hits back, he doesn't know that he will not fall into the net, and become a prisoner of Harry Sultan, so Tuoba Mingde calmed down and stayed in Ganliang for the time being.
A few days ago, he received news such as the emperor's grandson Hari Sultan being called emperor, the emperor's grandson Pilma black horse being called emperor, Haritas killing Pilma black horse, and the power of the imperial grandson's line has been divided between Shaharu and Hari Sultan, and Tuoba Mingde is even more panicked.
He is a member of the emperor's grandson's faction, and the emperor's grandson has died, and the emperor's power has collapsed, who can he go to when he returns to the Timurid Empire at this time If he has a heavy army in his hands and the value of being recruited, but he only has some goods and more than 100 soldiers in his hands now, who will take him seriously Tuoba Mingde now has a lot of wealth in his hands, and at the same time, with more than a hundred strong soldiers, in order to more perfectly disguise his identity, when he set off from Beshibali, he also brought some female soldiers, these female soldiers from the tribe, whether it is mounted archery or foot combat, is not inferior to men.
The female soldiers are now disguised as his slaves and family members, respectively.
When Tuoba Mingde came to the east, two female soldiers pretended to be his concubines, and most of the rest of the female soldiers pretended to be maids, and a few pretended to be female slaves.
These people were also surprised to hear that the Timurid Empire had undergone such a big change in a short period of time, but if you want to ask them, then there is no need to count on them, they are just brave and good at fighting, and their wisdom and strategy are much worse than his Tuoba Mingde, so the four of them all expressed their willingness to follow his arrangement and find a way out for this lonely army.
Tuoba Mingde thought hard for a few days, and he really came up with a solution: to defect to Warat The Timurid Empire obviously had no place for him, and the closest non-Ming force was Warat.
But if he wants to defect to Warat, be reused by it, and be a general with heavy troops in his hands and reprimanding one side, he needs an absolutely powerful stepping stone, where does this stepping stone come from Finally, he thought of the direct descendants of the Mongol Great Khan, who were nomadic in Ganliang at the moment.
He knew that Warat's current strength was stronger than that of Tatar, but if Warat wanted to unify the Mongolian steppe, the biggest weakness was that there was no direct descendant of the Golden Family who could call on the Mongolian tribes, although the Golden Family had become a puppet in the hands of the Mongolian nobles, but for many ordinary Mongolians, the Golden Family still had considerable appeal.
This is like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the hands of Cao Ying, no matter which way he falls into the hands of the princes, he is a puppet at the mercy of others, but those who can master him will be able to become famous and attract the hearts of the people.
The power of the Tatars was originally weaker than that of Warat, but because the Arutai Grand Master controlled the direct descendants of the golden family of Benjasuri, he was able to compete with the Warat.
If he can steal Tokhtar Buhua out and give it to the three kings of Warat to be established as the Great Khan of Mongolia and fight with the Tatars for orthodoxy, not only will the three kings of Warat reuse him, but the puppet Khan will also have some power and be used by him at that time.
So, Tuoba Mingde quietly inquired about the whereabouts of Totobuhua.
Soon, through the Mongols in Suzhou, he inquired about the whereabouts of Tokhtobuhua and his half-brother Agadorji.
The two brothers are grazing at the foot of the Qilian Mountain, their tribe raises a large number of deer, mines jade, and the women of the tribe also go up the mountain to pick snow mushrooms and other mountain delicacies.
Due to his special status, the Suzhou Weizhen Yiqianhu Office was stationed on the periphery of his tribe and was given special care.
If Tuoba Mingde wants to steal out of Tokhova, he must open the joints, even if he can't buy Zhenyi Qianhu for his use, he has to get in touch with this Zhenyi Qianhu, so that he can steal a big living person out through his defense area unknowingly.
So Tuoba Mingde tried every possible way to get a relationship with this Zhenyi Qianhu in the name of buying goods from the tribes under the Qilian Mountain.
During this period, Yu Jian was not by his side, and after arriving in Suzhou, Yu Jian immediately reported to Ji Gang that he had seen Xia Xun in Beishibali.
If Xia Xun stays in the Western Regions and can't return, then there is still a chance to take advantage of it.
However, when the news about the Timurid Empire came one after another, the use value of Tuoba Mingde was almost gone.
But Yu Jian did not rush to report Tuoba Mingde, because once Tuoba Mingde was arrested and confessed to the crime, he might tell the story of the attack on Xia Xun, and the news came from him.
It is also not easy to kill Tuoba Mingde, and even a woman around Tuoba Mingde is a brave and warlike warrior.
It was not easy to assassinate him, with the help of the power of the Ganliang military to arrest him, and he was worried that he would be affected, this Tuoba Mingde had become 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 excuse himself to go home to save his relatives, and left Tuoba Mingde's side first, hiding himself in the shadows, and then contacted Ji Gang and asked Ji Gang to quickly send the Jinyi Tiqi of the brigade to come and use his own people to solve this scourge.
If Tuoba Mingde was about to leave at this time, Yu Jian could only watch him leave, who knew that Tuoba Mingde wanted to take refuge in Wara, and he actually had the idea of getting rid of it.
When Yu Jian left, Tuoba Mingde had not yet determined his whereabouts, and when he decided to defect to Wara with no flowers, Yu Jian was no longer around, and he lost the help of this local expert.
At this moment, Tuoba Mingde was staggering with Lord Shao Wangxin, who had just met for a few days, and was drunk to the ear.
"Hehe, Lord Qianhu, this is the first time to do business in Suzhou, there is no way here, this matter has to trouble you to introduce on your behalf, a lot of help, after the matter is completed, there is still a heavy thank you in the next" Tuoba Mingde clapped his hands as soon as he spoke, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a graceful girl wearing a pomegranate saffron dress walked in from outside, blessed the two of them, glanced at Shao Qianhu shyly and timidly, and retreated to the side.
This woman has deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, brown hair, bright facial features, a slender and graceful figure, but the skin is slightly dark, but the wheat-colored skin is more delicate and fair than the delicate and fair complexion, but it adds a bit of health, a sense of surname and vitality, that kind of bodybuilding, which is by no means the same as the beauty of a woman in the Central Plains, which makes men very conquering.
Shao Qianhu's eyes lit up, stared at this beautiful woman tightly, and asked, "This is" Tuoba Mingde said: "Oh, I heard that the adults are coming to Suzhou, and they want to live here for three or five days, alone, how can they be done without a woman to take care of this woman's name is Bilan, and she is a female slave girl who was bought back from the Western Regions, so I will send her to the adults to wait for the living, I hope the Lord of the Thousand Households will not dislike it."

Shao Qianhu touched the mustache on his lips, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the lovely slave girl, and hesitated in his heart: "I, Wan Songling, have always cheated money and not sex, and sex and not money, but this exotic beauty really has a different flavor, should I make an exception?"
