Chapter 14 one

Timur returned to the city of Samarkand. Under the support of Aiku, Shahai and others, Timur temporarily took over the military and political power in Samarkand.Of course, not everyone really supports him, but in the current situation, they have no better choice.For them, the stability of Samarkand is far more important than whether they support Timur. Timur is a vigorous and resolute person.Since he took power, he has been committed to rectifying military affairs, rectifying law and order, and severely punishing all rioters and lawbreakers. Under his policy of iron and blood, the situation in Samarkand quickly stabilized, and what he did won the hearts of the people. support.

Timur sent Shanai and Aya to pick up his wife and son who were temporarily staying at Uncle Haji's house.Aya is very happy to go home. She is eager to see her mother and her beloved Toriel, but she only sees her mother but not Toriel. Tolier disappeared the day he left Samarkand. People said that Tolier must have gone to find his owner, Aya.After a long time, almost two months, Torre came back, entered the orchard alone, and lay dying under the tree where Aya always stayed.It was skinny and its fur was terribly dirty. At first, the servants of Aya's family didn't recognize it, but no matter how they pushed it, it refused to leave the big tree.

Later, a servant recognized it and hurriedly told the news to Aya's mother.Mother came to the orchard and wanted to take Torie home and treat him.She softly called Toriel's name, and upon hearing her voice, Toriel raised his head from the ground, wagged his tail at her with difficulty, then, tilted his head, and died.The scene at that time made many people's eyes red. Everyone said that Torre was a righteous dog, and he must have suffered a lot in order to find Aya.When it felt that it was about to die, it hurried back to the orchard where it often played with Aya, hoping to take a last look at the owner it cared about here.Aya and Shanai came to the place where Torre was buried and cried for a long time.Shanai couldn't help sighing that in many cases, silent animals are far more loyal than humans.

At Timur's request, Haji readily agreed to send Mrs. Yunna and Jihanjier back to Timur.Timur was overjoyed to see his son, but he didn't have much to say to his wife.Similarly, after experiencing too many ups and downs, Yun Na's feelings for Timur became more indifferent. Timur still settled his wife and children in Hazhan's former residence.Yun Na accepted the reality that Timur had to live with her in a forbearing gesture. A few months later, Yun Na found out that she was pregnant again. When she told Timur the news, she suddenly covered her face and wept. Timur didn't understand a woman's mind at all, and he didn't know why Yunna lost control of her emotions. He thought Yunna was missing her grandfather.Although Hazhan didn't directly die in his hands, why didn't he want to kill Hazhan himself back then?At that time, if he hadn't accepted the secret order of Sharaz Khan, intending to organize an army to overthrow Hazhan's rule, perhaps Hazhan would not have been killed by Haji.Yunna always knew that he coveted the power in Harzhan's hands, and he took Yunna's tears as an accusation against himself.

He felt a little unhappy in his heart, but considering Yunna's hard work in bearing children for him, he couldn't blame her, so he told the maid to help his wife go back to rest. Yun Na wiped away her tears and went back to the inner room.From the beginning to the end, she didn't say anything to Timur. The sudden sorrow was not for her grandfather. She had already shed all the tears for his grandfather. The sudden sorrow was for herself. Sad for being Timur's wife. In the days when she was abandoned by Timur, she raised her and Timur's son Jehanjar with resentment.As a mother, she has no complaints, but she cannot forgive Timur in her heart.Timur could have left Samarkand with her and the child, but even if it was too late to take her and the child, he should have sent someone to notify her.Taking a step back, even if he fled in a hurry and didn't bother to inform her, he could send someone back to take a look at the two of them at any time in the days to come.

As a wife, she would never tell her grandfather any news about him.Even if it wasn't for herself, she wouldn't do this kind of thing just for her children. Sadly, he didn't. Perhaps, he never trusted her at all.Even if she bears children for him, even if he loves their son very much, it still can't change his trust in her. There is no trust between husband and wife, this is the saddest thing. Sometimes, Yunna forced herself not to think about these things anymore, she tried to convince herself that everything was over, her husband came back after all, and took her and her son by his side after all.Moreover, although he only cared about escaping for his own life at the time, he might have had other reasons as well.However, there was nowhere to put her sorrow, and his unfeeling hurt her deeply, making her unable to forgive him no matter what.

She didn't know, was she going to spend her life like this?When will these days end?If it wasn't for her son, she really hoped that she could follow her grandfather sooner. Perhaps it is in response to the ancient Chinese proverb "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind". Back then, Genghis Khan started his journey of conquest from here. A few months ago, the incidents in the Western Chagatai Khanate reached the ears of Tughru Khan through the spy placed by Prince Elias next to Sraz Khan.As the still powerful ruler of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Tuglu Khan's greatest wish in his life was to capture the territory of the Western Chagatai Khanate and make it a unified and powerful Khanate again.When Tughru Khan heard the news that Samarkand had changed hands, he immediately set up troops from the Ili garrison, and his troops pointed directly at Jieshi City and Samarkand.

Both Haji and Timur were powerless against Tughlu Khan's army, and Haji was forced to flee to the Khorasan area after being attacked, but Timur wisely surrendered Tughlu Khan.As a reward for his choice, Tughru Khan handed over Jieshi City to him for management. Twenty-four-year-old Timur quickly made his mark in Tughlu Khan's army.He decisively killed the generals who attempted to rebel in Jieshi City, and quickly stabilized the chaotic situation in Jieshi City.Seeing his loyalty, Tuglu Khan continued to march westward, pointing directly at the unconquered city. Timur quickly reported the news to his brother-in-law Huxin.When Hazhan was alive, Husin established a kingdom of his own in Afghanistan with the army provided by his grandfather, which included Kabul, Balihe, Kundus and Badak Mountain.In the Western Chagatai Khanate, Hu Xin was one of the few people with real strength.Timur did not want Hu Xin to suffer disaster due to overreach. He repeatedly reminded Hu Xin in his secret letter to weigh the pros and cons.

Soon after Hu Xin received the secret letter, Tughru Khan aggressively attacked Afghanistan and approached the black city of Bali.Huxin surrendered Kaesong without a fight. Tugru Khan was overjoyed and still handed over Balihei and other places to Hu Xin for management. Hu Xin only needed to send some troops to assist Tugru Khan in conquest of other cities.In this way, Hu Xin was unscathed and his strength was intact. We cannot but thank Timur for his timely reminder. It can be said that Timur's move not only quickly repaired the once cold relationship between him and Hu Xin, but also made him and Hu Xin reach a tacit understanding with each other.

Timur devoted more energy to governing Jieshi City, but he ignored that there was another person who never gave up his efforts to retake Jieshi City.This person is Timur's own uncle Haji. Haji hid in Khorasan for a period of time, and learned that Tughru Khan had led the army to the west, and returned to Jieshi City by taking advantage of the emptiness.Timur went out of the city to fight, but Haji lost the first battle and retreated to the mountains.Timur didn't chase after him. He felt that Haji was vulnerable and it was not worth him to drive Haji to death. However, Haji's defeat was actually just a temptation. When he was fighting Timur, he saw a familiar face in Timur's army, which made him think of an excellent way.

A few days later, at dusk, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman appeared in front of Teguyan's general's residence.Teguyan used to be Haji's subordinate, because of his ability to manage the army, he enjoyed a certain prestige among the soldiers.When Haji was defeated and fled to Khorasan, Teguyan judged the situation and led the rest of his troops to surrender to Tughlu Khan, and later returned to Timur.Timur trusted him very much and entrusted him with important positions.However, despite this, he still secretly met with middle-aged men.The two talked in secret for a long time.After the middle-aged man left, Teguyan opened a jewelry box, which contained gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets and diamond rings. In the next month, the middle-aged man came again several times, each time with a large gift.For the last time, the middle-aged man finally lived up to his mission and brought back Teguyan's promise to his master Haji. Haji seized no opportunity to lead the army to attack Jieshi City again. Timur still went out of the city to fight as before.He divided the team into left and right wings. He personally commanded the right wing, and handed over the left wing to Teguyan. Ji fled to the mountains again.Haji went back and forth, making Timur realize that if Haji is not eliminated, he will not be the real and only master of Jieshi City. The battle formations of the two sides were set up, and Haji was confident and only attacked the right wing.Timur was keenly aware of the change in the situation, and sent Shanai to send an order to Teguyan, asking Teguyan to speed up the left wing reinforcements.Shanai didn't dare to delay, so he rode his horse straight to the left wing position.Entering the left-wing position, Shanai struggled a lot before being led to Teguyan by a general.Shanai explained his intention to Teguyan, and Teguyan gave Shanai a haughty look, and replied briefly: "Impossible!" Shana was taken aback and couldn't believe her ears. "What did you say?" He asked after holding back for a while. "I said: Impossible!" "Why? What happened?" "Haji is my old master. It is impossible for me to help Timur to attack him. You go back and tell Timur to put down his weapon and capture him without a fight. Perhaps, I can say good words to Haji and spare him. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will all die without a place to bury you." "you!" "Go away. The reason why you can still stand in front of me is that I didn't let them kill you. I want you to keep your ears to listen to me and your mouth to tell Timur what I mean. If not, you dead long ago." Shanai knew that it would be a waste of words to say any further, for the present plan, it would be better to use this picked-up life to report to Timur, so that Timur would be prepared.Thinking this way, he stopped chattering with Teguyan, and hastily steered his horse back to the right-wing position where the fierce battle was taking place. The situation on Timur's side is already critical.He listened to Shanai's report during the fierce battle and decided to withdraw from the battlefield.Haji would not let him escape so easily. Timur led the rest of the crowd to break through several times without success. The last time, he fled to Chongshan with only dozens of horsemen.More than ten days ago, Haji also fled here to recharge his batteries.At that time, Timur did not pursue him and gave him a chance to make a comeback. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. Haji personally raised the army and chased all the way into the mountains. Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and Haji ordered all the exits of the house to be closed, and make plans in the morning.His idea, even if he couldn't wipe out Timur quickly this time, at least he had to trap him to death in the mountains. The night slowly slipped away in the tense atmosphere, and Teguyan came to reinforce Haji at dusk, and Haji became more confident, and decided to split the road and attack the mountain immediately.When Haji was dispatching generals, the general in charge of monitoring Timur sent a news that surprised him. For a moment, Haji couldn't believe his ears.
