Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 33 The alliance under the city is pitiable
I come, I see, I conquer!
After the great victory, Nomudale made great efforts, leaving more than a thousand people to guard Chali, and personally led an army of 8,000 to conquer Turpan. Serving as the vanguard were 3,000 surrendered soldiers, and it seemed that there was no force that could stop him from advancing.

"Dataiji, Turpan is located at the throat of the Silk Road. If we capture this place, I am afraid that the Heshuote people in the north and the Yarkand people in the south will not give up. It is better to negotiate peace with the Turpan people and let them cede the power of the That'll be fine." Batu, Tan, Nasutu and other ministers all advised him to accept it as soon as possible.

Nomdale laughed loudly, "Eating too much will burst your belly. How could I not know this? But if you want the Turpan people to cede the land, you must maintain military pressure on them. Don't worry, this is just a trip."

It was indeed like a journey. Abdullah Khan ordered the garrison from various places to gather in Turpan City. There were not many garrisons in the surrounding towns. The Mongols effortlessly captured the three small cities of Kunmi, Subasi and Tosun.

The trapped beasts still fight, Abdullah Khan gathered the defenders from various places, organized the young men of Turpan City, and finally gathered another 10,000 soldiers, but they were just a ragtag group. Fortunately, his second brother Su Litang arrived from Liucheng with a thousand troops, which calmed his mind. Silently making preparations to defend the city, waiting for the last moment to arrive.

Ibrahim, Baba, Ismail, Aniwar, Sadiq and others came to him and said, "Great Khan, the matter is urgent. It is better to send someone to negotiate peace with the Mongols."

"Peace?"

Abdullah Khan frowned and said, "Wait a little longer. I have sent people to Kuqa to ask for help from my father-in-law. We will wait until the reinforcements arrive."

Seeing him mentioning his father-in-law, Governor Abu Hadi of Kuqa, everyone felt a sense of luck and stopped talking.

Kuqa City is the hometown of the ancient Qiuci Kingdom. It was the "Music Capital of the Western Regions" as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is known as the "Hometown of Song and Dance", "Hometown of Melons and Fruits" and "Hometown of Grottoes".

At this moment, there was singing and dancing in the Governor's Mansion. Six pairs of handsome young men and women from the Uighur tribe danced "Sainaim" to the melody. The men's dances are vigorous and powerful, while the women's dances are graceful and stretched. They move their hands and feet, tossing and turning, and have their own flavor.

"Sainaim", also known as "Sainaim", was originally a dance of the Sailan people. After the Sailan people moved from Uzbekistan to the Tianshan area, this dance became popular in the Yarkand Khanate.

Abu Hadi found it boring. As a governor, he had seen many such dances.

"Come here, call Gulisuruhe, I want to see her dance," he shouted.

In the Uighur language, Gulisuruhe means "rose", and it is indeed very beautiful, as bright as a rose.

This beauty was a dancer given to him by a wealthy businessman from the Western Regions two years ago. She has long eyelashes, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a slim figure. What's even more rare is that her skin is fair and delicate, and can be broken by blows.

Ever since he got this rose, the Governor has forgotten about his old wife at home. He just wants to pick flowers every day, no, enjoy flowers. There is nothing more pleasant than watching a beautiful woman dance!
The soft strings of Rewafu (a kind of Uighur musical instrument) sounded, and Gulisu Ruhe held a streamer and danced the Hu Xuan dance. "Hu Xuannu, Hu Xuannu. Her heart responds to the strings, and her hands respond to the drums. When the strings and drums sound, both sleeves are raised, and the snow flutters and dances. Turning left and right without getting tired, thousands of twists and turns without end. There are no human beings. Comparable, the running wheel is slow and the whirlwind is late. At the end of the song, I thank the emperor again, and the emperor opens his mouth slightly. Hu Xuannu came out of Kangju and traveled east for more than ten thousand miles in vain." Bai Juyi's "Hu Xuanwu" expresses the posture of Hu Xuannu. The expression comes alive on the page.

Gu Lisu Ruhe dances rapidly in the sound of drums, like snowflakes floating in the air, like fluffy grass flying in the wind. Even the speeding wheels feel slower than her, and even the rapid whirlwind is inferior. She spins left and right tirelessly, a thousand times. Thousands of weeks go round and round.

Abu Hadi had the illusion that his beautiful concubine was a fairy who descended to earth?

Suddenly, the beauty's long eyelashes trembled, she smiled seductively, the ribbon flew up in her hand, she half-unbuttoned her shirt, and playfully kicked the governor with one jade foot, then paused next to his old face.

At this moment, Abu Hadi's heart was beating violently, his eyes were staring directly at Gulisuruhe's jade feet, and he forgot all the troubles in the world.

"Ho!"

He screamed strangely, left the table, picked up Mei Ji, and wanted to go back to the room to make things worse.

"Aqimubek, the envoy from Turpan is asking for an audience outside the palace." His ignorant subordinates disturbed his good deeds.

"Damn it, let him come back tomorrow."

"The envoy said that he has urgent matters and must see you!"

Abu Hadi felt very unhappy when his good deeds were interrupted, "Huh, announce him to the palace, and if there is no big deal, I will skin him."

The envoy of Turpan, Ulu Heji, walked into the Governor's Mansion. When he saw Abu Hadi, he fell to his knees and said, "Dear Aqimubek, Jinomudalai, the leader of the Huite Department, has led his army to invade the south and has conquered Chalihuan." and Tiemenguan are attacking Turpan City. Abdullah Khan sent me to ask for help from you."

"What! Are the Whits coming again?" Abu Hadi was surprised. "Aqimube's lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Please send troops to rescue him quickly." Uluru Heji was extremely anxious.

Those Mongols are barbarians and very cruel. If I were asked to save Turpan, wouldn't I die in vain? You can't do this!
Abu Hadi rolled his eyes and declined: "It's not that I don't want to send troops, it's just that Latif Khan just gave me an order a few days ago. No troops are allowed to be mobilized without his permission, and I dare not disobey it." What do you mean by sweating!"

"Aqimubek, if you don't send reinforcements, Turpan will be doomed!" Ullu Heji's voice was filled with tears.

Abu Hadi waved his hand and said, "No, those barbarians just want to rob money. When they have robbed enough, they will leave. The envoys have come a long way and have a hard time. Please step back and rest first. Come and see the guests off." .

After saying that, he stopped talking to Wu Lu and Ji, held Gu Lisu Ruhe's hand and left the hall.

"Great Khan, my ministers are incompetent, and Abu Hadi refuses to send reinforcements." Ullu Heji knelt down in front of Abdullah Khan with tears streaming down his face.

"This is not your fault. My father-in-law has always been timid. This is expected. It seems that we can only negotiate peace with the Mongols." Abdullah Khan sighed and asked the ministers: "Who is willing to do this? Envoys negotiate with the Mongols."

All the ministers were silent, no one wanted to accept this mission that would bring disgrace to their power and humiliate the country.

Anivar stepped forward tremblingly, "I'm old and don't have a few more years to live. Let me do this kind of embarrassing thing."

Abdullah Khan's eyes turned red and he bowed deeply to him, "The survival of Turpan depends on the old man!"

Anivar silently returned the greeting and left for the Mongolian military camp.

Hearing that the envoys from Turpan were coming, Nomudale ordered armored soldiers to be deployed to intimidate them.

There is a forest of swords and guns, full of murderous intent. But Anivar seemed not to have seen him, and just walked inside with his bamboo stick.

"Hahaha, are all the warriors in Turpan dead? They actually sent a bad old man here." Xiri Mo, the general of Huite, laughed.

"Ha~ha~ha~" Everyone was happy.

"The warriors of Turpan would rather die in battle than live. They are all sharpening their swords and guns on the city wall, preparing to fight. Only a bad old man like me is willing to negotiate with your army," Anivar replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Old guy, aren't you afraid of our Mongolian cavalry?" Aldar and Shuoqi asked rudely.

"If you are a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, I will naturally not be afraid; if you are a teacher of wolves, what is the use of fear?" Anivar asked calmly: "Da Taiji calls himself a hero, why are you afraid of an old man?"

"Nonsense, even if I'm not afraid of thousands of troops, how can I be afraid of this old man like you?" Nomudalei was so angry that his beard was flying.

"If you are not afraid of me, why are there so many soldiers?"

"Hmph," Nomudale sneered and ordered the soldiers to withdraw their armor.

After a heated exchange of words, the two sides began negotiations.

At first, Anivar refused to cede the territory. Nomudalei was furious and said, "I will gain something from my thousand-mile expedition. Your country refuses to cede the land, so I will take it for myself."

In the face of absolute strength, words are pale and powerless. In the end, Anivar signed an alliance under the city on behalf of Abdullah Khan: Turpan ceded Chaliwei and Tiemenguan to the Huite tribe, and compensated the Huite tribe with fifty thousand taels of silver.

Nomdale ordered the entire army to return to Chalishi. Before leaving, he looted the three small towns near Turpan, Kunmishi, Subashi, and Tuosun, and the 15,000 people in the city were taken to Yuledus. Grassland and farmland.
