Harry was about to catch up with a cunning sand fox, but he was called back. ξ:ξPiao Astronomy Networkξ网ξHe hurried back angrily, and the messenger of Marshal Shaharul of the Left Route Army immediately came to greet him.
He took out a letter and presented it with both hands, saying: "Your Highness, this is a letter written by His Highness Shaharul to you!"
Harry glanced at it and saw that Xia Xun had circled his horse and retreated to a place seven or eight feet away, chatting with Celine and Jeanne, so he tore open the letter, took out the letter and started reading. He only paid attention to Xia Xun, but ignored
He met a character that he had always ignored..." Dumb.
Just like what he said to Tuoba Mingde, sometimes, no one can find out the secrets that are hidden in every possible way, but they will be discovered by a guard sleeping in a corner or a cook cooking with a big spoon.
Know.
After reading the letter, Harry took a long breath, slowly folded the letter and put it in his arms. He smiled faintly at the messenger and said: "Please reply to my uncle, just say that I already know. The war situation is changing rapidly, and my uncle has not yet
We haven't arrived at the scheduled location yet, and I don't understand the situation ahead. What I heard from hearsay is not enough. I have sense and know what to do!"
The knight gave him a military salute on his horse, waved his horse's head, and led the two guardsmen away.
When they walked away, Harry's calm face suddenly turned red, and he yelled angrily: "Goddam!"
Omi was very familiar with his character. When she saw that he had just put away the letter and replied in an unusually calm manner, she knew that her sweetheart was suppressing his anger and had already rushed to her side. As soon as Harry had an attack, she approached him.
, hugged Harry on the horse and comforted softly: "My dear, please don't be so angry!"
Harry was trembling with rage and said angrily: "Omi, do you know what he said in the letter? This despicable, shameless bastard! This insidious, dirty politician! He has said that the road is difficult, and he has not rushed so far.
When they arrived at the predetermined location, they accused me of standing still and not sending out troops immediately, so I told the Ming army to prepare in advance!"
Omi comforted him: "My Harry, don't be so angry. The soldiers and horses are in your hands. Whether to fight or not is up to you. Why bother with him? There is no need to be so angry."
Harry sneered and said: "Omi, you are too naive. You don't understand my uncle at all. Before he accused me, he must have sent someone to slander me in front of the Khan!"
Harry tightened his grip on the riding whip and sneered: "Let me take the lead and lose my troops! If I win, I will be resented by the prince's faction and accuse me of going deep alone to trade without permission. If I lose, he will attack again."
They are slandering me, saying that I am not effective in fighting, and maybe even trying to trick the Khan into bringing my troops under his command, under his unified command! This treacherous old fox!"
Omi couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "Harry, what should we do?"
Harry's eyes turned slightly and he said: "The key to the problem is still with Khan when we go back first. I will think of a solution after we go back!"
After this incident, Harry no longer had the intention to continue hunting and rushed back with Xia Xun. After returning to the Argus hotel, Harry personally picked out a goose-throated antelope and two sand grouse and gave them to Xia Xun to taste the game.
He said goodbye and hurried back to his residence.
Xia Xun also hurriedly returned to his residence and asked Ah-Dai what happened. Ah-Dai told Xia Xun what he had heard and said in surprise: "It turns out that this Harry Guangsheng was also a general of the Timur Empire.
I really thought he was a businessman."
Xia Xun warned: "You have to be strict with your mouth. If anything is leaked, you may get yourself killed!"
Dui was shocked and said yes.
Xia Xun wrinkled his head again and said: "It sounds like there are no business opportunities to take advantage of. But if Timur Khan really orders to send troops immediately, it will affect our return journey."
Dumb said: "I wonder when the master will return to the sandbank?"
Xia Xun said: "It will take ten days at the earliest. According to our agreement, each caravan will purchase the required goods separately, and then they will be reunited here in ten days. If some caravans are delayed, they can be delayed for another three days.
God, I won’t wait any longer.”
Dumb thought about it for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "According to this, it's still too late. This Harry...general doesn't seem to want to be used by others. He will wait until he writes to Timur Khan to protest before receiving the order."
, it will take more than ten days of effort."
Xia Xun said: "Not bad! But we have to buy things quickly. Tomorrow, you will take me to buy jade and magnesium iron!"
Ah-Dai quickly agreed, Xia Xun took out three gold coins and gave them to him, and Ah-Dai left with great gratitude.
As soon as Dumb left, Xia Xun sat at the table with his chin in his hands and began to think deeply. Xilin and Jeanne did not dare to disturb him when they saw this, but quietly sat down next to the bed.
Xia Xun was thinking about whether he could use this matter to make a fuss.
It seems that not only are there conflicts within the Timur Empire, but these conflicts have clearly intensified to the extreme. If they can be exploited..." Xia Xun did not expect that just one thing would cause internal strife in the Timur Empire, but as long as they
If the soft shield of time becomes more intense, this hidden consumption will increase exponentially, and it will be absolutely beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
He contacted Shazhou dignitaries and religious figures, and took risks to go to Hami. All of them were actually for one purpose: to increase Ming's chances of winning. If the war enters a stalemate, or the fight is evenly matched, then you can win even if it is very weak.
A force that can play a decisive role at this time.
At the same time, there are sacrifices in war. Unavoidable sacrifices need to be made, but leaders should try to avoid the avoidable sacrifices through command or by enlisting middle forces. Everything Xia Xun does is actually for this purpose.
And fight, for the victory of Ming Dynasty, for the sake of fewer casualties of Ming Dynasty people!
He could have stayed in this hotel peacefully until the caravan returned and ended the trip to the enemy camp without any danger. But now there is such an opportunity in front of him. If he takes advantage of it, he can increase his chances of winning.
Should he do it if he could save the lives of thousands of soldiers who should have died?
One general's achievements are worth ten thousand bones. They are living lives, and behind them are ordinary families. You can get more help to avoid heavy casualties of soldiers, but if you don't do it, then you will be the same as the executioner who killed them with his own hands.
What's the difference?
But after thinking for a long time, he was unable to do anything. With his current status and only ten days left, it was impossible for him to play a role in this matter and become a key figure among the major forces within the Timur Empire.
catalyst for conflict.
But he was really unwilling to take advantage of such a great opportunity.
Xia Xun frowned, thinking over and over again, designing plans one after another in his mind. After repeated deliberation, he rejected them again and again. Finally, he finally realized that none of the plans were useful.
At this moment, the door knocked twice and pushed gently. Xia Xun turned around and saw Tang Sai'er's little head poked in. Seeing Xia Xun sitting at the table, Tang Sai'er was delighted.
He ran in happily, holding two chicken feathers in his hand, and said with a smile: "Did my godfather catch that pheasant? What a beautiful tail. The next time my godfather goes hunting, Sai'er will go with him!"
When Xia Xun saw her, his eyes lit up, he quickly grabbed her waist, held her on his lap, and asked: "Sai'er, come here, tell your godfather a story."
Sai'er laughed in shock and said, "Dad, do you want to listen to Sai'er telling stories?"
Xia Xun nodded and said, "Yes! Let me tell you the story of when you and Granny Qiu played tricks on those two 'evil dogs' in Puhe County."
When Xia Xun asked about this matter in the past, he used the word "evil dog" instead. Sai'er immediately understood that he was referring to the incident where he and his grandma were pretending to be gods and ghosts and knocked out the two Jinyi guards. She couldn't help but curiously said: "Isn't the godfather?
Already know?"
Xia Xun said: "I want to hear it again. This time, please explain it in more detail.
"oh!"
It was rare that I could tell a story to my godfather. Sai'er cheered up and told the story in detail again.
After a long while, he suddenly stood still and looked at Sai'er with burning eyes.
Tang Sai'er was made uncomfortable by his strange gaze, and she shrank slightly and said, "Godfather, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Xun smiled anxiously, "Well, very good, very good, Sai'er, do you like watching a show?"
Tang Saier said happily: "I like it. Will my godfather take me to the theater?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Occasionally I will go. Xilin, let..."
Xia Xun called Xilin and Jeanne who were sitting obediently by the bed, and whispered, "Tomorrow, I will ask Ah-Dai to find another local guide. Chen Dong and Ye An will protect you and go shopping every day."
Go to various local temples and listen to stories about gods and monsters. There are also some plays in this city, whether they are street plays or those that require money to enter and watch. Don’t miss them, especially the plays about gods and monsters, as well as some folk customs and legends..."
Xia Xun gave detailed instructions for a long time. Xilin and Jeanne both tried hard to write them down. They didn't understand Xia Xun's weird instructions, but their advantage was that as long as the master gave such instructions, they would do it seriously.
Didn't ask him why.
The next day, Ah-Dai followed Xia Xun's instructions and found him another local guide. Chen Dong and Ye An, who had recovered from their injuries, protected the three women and followed the guide on their journey around the city of Talbgur.
Traveling. Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were taken by Ah Dai to buy carved iron and jade. Argus had already paid Xia Xun the money, and he exchanged most of the money for iron and fine gems and jade.
Beautiful jade.
Since these commodities are mature commodities with huge sales volume and market in the city, Xia Xun's purchase went very smoothly. In just three days, he purchased all the goods that needed to be brought back to Shazhou. Harry seemed to be busy these days.
Due to matters in the political arena, he did not ask him out again. After purchasing all the goods, Xia Xun went to the theater to watch a play with Xilin, Jeanne, and Tang Saier.
In this abnormally developed city, there are all kinds of dramas, including street shows, circuses, and operas and dramas that can only be performed in grand theaters. After some understanding, Xia Xun chose to watch almost all of them.
Zhu Di would definitely be very happy if he saw the drama about gods and monsters now, because Zhu Di, who likes watching dramas about gods and monsters, finally has a friend who is a theater fan, and the two of them have a common language.
What they watched today was a play about gods and monsters. This is a play based on an Arabian story about gods and monsters. The style is very similar to the Arabian story collection "One Thousand and One Nights". After watching the play, Xia Xun seemed to be still unsatisfied.
After all, when he returned, he still communicated with Ah-Dai: "It is indeed wonderful. Oh, by the way, I heard that the Timurid Empire uses Turkic as its official language, and the people also use Persian. When you say "this will is irresistible" use
How do you say it in Turkic and Persian?"
Dui, who was a good teacher, immediately told him. Xia Xun repeated it several times until the pronunciation and tone were perfectly imitated, and then he smiled and said: "In doing business in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with their people. You must be able to speak some simple words."
Okay, I will ask you a few words from time to time, and I hope you will give me some advice!"
