Chapter 15 two

The general said that Timur bound himself and brought his men out in plain clothes, and he was now seeking to see him outside the camp. Haji and Teguyan looked at each other.If it wasn't for the people facing a military tent in broad daylight, they must have thought they were dreaming. The general asked Haji to show me. Haji rolled his eyes for a while and asked, "You said Timur has gone outside the camp?" The general said yes. "Besides him, who else?" "Dozens of them all surrendered. Timur repeatedly asked to see you, so I brought him here." Haji asked for Teguyan's opinion: "What do you think about this?"

"Tamerlane has surrendered, so why not meet your nephew!" "Okay." Haji ordered the general, "Pass." The general didn't have much time to go out, so he brought Timur into the army tent.As the general said, Timur was wearing coarse clothes, tied himself up, knelt in front of Haji, and pleaded guilty to his uncle. The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Haji sighed: "Timerer, what are you doing?" "Uncle Haji, I have come to apologize to you. I hope that your lord will ignore the fault of the villain and take your nephew by your side."

"Didn't you surrender to Tughru Khan and deliberately fight against your uncle me?" "At that moment, at this moment. At that time, Tughlu Khan's army was in full swing, and his nephew could not defend Samarkand. If he did not surrender, he could only be slaughtered by him. Knowing this, why did my nephew do the kind of thing that hits a stone with a pebble and kills himself? What's more, my nephew also had selfish intentions at the time, and wanted to use the power of Tughlu Khan to take the ruling power of Jieshi City from you. You must not have forgotten that you were the one who took it from your brother first. let's go."

Although Timur's words were not pleasant, they were all true, and Haji had nothing to say after hearing them. Timur continued to express his feelings: "Uncle Haji, although I opposed you and you didn't like what your nephew did when he was young, we are uncles and nephews after all. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. In troubled times, the only thing that can be relied on is family affection." Haji was a little moved by what he said, and he turned around and asked Teguyan: "What do you think?" Teguyan replied: "Timur is a general. When he was under Hazhan, he was known for his strict discipline. In my opinion, it is better to let him be your general manager. He is right about one thing. He is Your own nephew is always more reliable than outsiders."

Haji nodded, accepting Teguyan's suggestion. Teguyan gave Timur a meaningful look, and Timur returned the same look.At this time, among Haji, Teguyan, and Timur, only Haji was kept in the dark. Yesterday, when Timur broke through, Shanai was left behind quite predictably.Haji pursued Timur, but Shanai managed to meet Teguyan.According to Timur's statement before his departure, Shanai met Teguyan in the name of surrender. He said to Teguyan mysteriously that Timur would like to dedicate to Teguyan a set of gem wine cups he got from China. Yang, the gemstone wine cup is unique and priceless, on the condition that Teguyan must speak well for Timur in front of Haji and protect him from death.

Teguyan loves money like his life, so he readily agreed. Timur bet on Teguyan's character.He landed early in the morning, and Teguyan really tried his best to protect him. The evolution of the matter was beyond Haji's expectation, and the ending can be regarded as a happy ending.Haji cheerfully helped Timur up and asked him to return to Jieshi City with him.On the way, he ordered to go down, and the whole army had a three-day feast to celebrate his subduing Timur, a tiger general. After the banquet that day, Timur sent Shanai to deliver the gem wine cup to Teguyan's mansion.Teguyan got this treasure he had heard about for a long time but couldn't see, and couldn't put it down, and was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night.

Haji appointed Timur as the general manager, and ordered Timur to lead his troops to attack the city of Karsi.Timur lived up to Haji's entrustment, won the first battle, and dedicated the city of Karsi to Haji.Timur's smooth success made Haji feel mixed, he never doubted his nephew's ability, what he doubted was his nephew's loyalty to him.He did not hand over the city of Karsi to Timur, but to his incompetent son. Timur estimated that Haji was likely to take advantage of the victory to attack Samarkand. He sent secret envoys to the Khan camp day and night to deliver letters, requesting Tughlu Khan to return to the army as soon as possible to stabilize the situation around Samarkand.After receiving the secret letter, Tughru Khan withdrew his troops from Afghanistan and quickly returned to guard Samarkand.Haji took the opportunity to attack Samarkand's plan and failed, so he had to prepare to set off to meet Tughru Khan like other leaders in the middle of the river to express his surrender.

To ensure safety, he asked Timur and Teguyan to go with him to the Khan camp. Tughru Khan didn't trust Haji and others at all.He told his subordinates that Haji, Timur, and Teguyan were all villains, and if they had the courage to come before him, he would kill them.Haji and Teguyan were shocked when they heard the news, and discussed fleeing to Khorasan to wait for the opportunity.Haji asked his attendants to send Timur to announce his decision, but the attendants reported back that Timur had heard that Tughru Khan would not let him go, and had led his troops to flee back to his own base near Tiemen Village overnight.Haji scolded Timur as a "coward", but there is nothing he can do now.As a last resort, he and Teguyan hurriedly embarked on the road of escape. On the way, the army mutinied and scattered. When Haji and Teguyan entered the border of Khorasan, there were not many followers left.Haji said to Teguyan with emotion: "If I have a bright future, I will definitely not forget the merits of supporting each other."

Teguyan replied: "No need!" Haji was taken aback: "What do you mean?" "It's very simple, when you make a comeback, when will you wait! Instead of this, why not arrange my own route." "What are you going to do?" "Leave you and go to Tugru Khan." "Don't forget, Tughru Khan doesn't trust you, he won't let you go." "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way." "How? What way?" Teguyan smiled: "I want to give Tughlu Khan a generous gift. I believe he will be very happy to get this generous gift."

Haji's face changed, he finally understood that Teguyan is a villain, a real villain!A villainous man can never be relied upon, but a man who is as good at intrigue and flexible as his nephew is more to be feared than a villain. Teguyan stretched his hand to the waist knife.Following his movement, a young attendant standing behind Haji sent the dagger he had already held in his hand into Haji's back.Haji turned his head with difficulty, and stared at the young man with bloodshot eyes. The young man felt that he was enveloped in a hideous red light. Suddenly, the boy yelled, and he wanted to take back his murderous hand, but the dagger was brought out, and Haji's blood sprayed all over his body and face.

Haji's body is still standing.The young man threw away the dagger, waved his hands, screamed horribly, and ran into the distance. The teenager is crazy. Teguyan kicked Haji's stomach, and Haji's body fell down, making a dull sound.Haji's eyes were wide open, and he could not rest in peace. Teguyan asked someone to cut off Haji's head, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to step forward.Teguyan scolded "a bunch of trash", and had no choice but to do it himself, beheading Haji's head. He grabbed Haji's bun and lifted it so that Haji's head faced him.Suddenly, he felt Haji's wide-open eyes blinking at him with a half-smile. He couldn't help being startled, and when he looked closely, everything returned to normal. He didn't dare to hold Haji's head anymore, put it in the leather bag, threw it on the horse's back, and turned back to Samarkand.
