Chapter 19 one

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Na passed away in a coma for the last time. According to Yun Na's instructions, Timur notified Hu Xin of the news.Hu Xin immediately sent someone to express his condolences, but he did not come in person.He wanted the envoy to tell Timur that he couldn't bear to see his sister's remains. Instead, he hoped that his sister's living image would remain in his heart forever. Timur fully understood the strong dissatisfaction and vigilance towards him hidden behind Hu Xin's excuse.Hu Xin was unwilling to meet Timur. The superficial alliance was as fragile as Chinese porcelain. Hu Xin was worried that once he came to Jieshi City, something bad might happen to him.

This is Hu Xin. However, if it were Timur, he might also want to do the same. Tuma has been by Timur's side helping him with everything.Although she is young, it is rare for her to be clear-headed, shrewd and decisive. In addition, she is familiar with all kinds of court etiquette. In a short period of time, she has arranged everything in an orderly manner.Thanks to her help, Timur saved a lot of trouble, which made him value and cherish Tuma even more, and was glad that he had met the woman he really wanted. After the funeral, Timur officially made Tuma his wife. There was no complacency on Tuma's young and beautiful face. From the beginning to the end, she kept her duty and never interfered with Timur's affairs.Perhaps, Yun Na's death made her understand Timur's character and behavior. For this iron-blooded man, she neither wanted to fetter his hands and feet with the love of children in the general sense, nor did she want to be jealous because of women's jealousy. put yourself in the cold.

She was born and raised in the court, and the cruelty of court life had taught her how to protect herself.For her, her father Khan died, and she had to return home. Not only that, but she also had a brush with death. It was Timur who saved her life, and she had to keep in mind the grace of saving her life.More importantly, she is a traditional woman. Since she married Timur, her husband is her only destination. What's more, she has the ability to imitate Borte, even if she doesn't have a wise mind like Borte, she at least has a heart like Borte. She took the sick Ogilvy by her side, and gradually eliminated Hanjar's resentment towards her with patience, love and compassion.She was so virtuous that Tamerlane could only recognize all the good qualities in her with the respect that never changed in his life.

In fact, unreserved respect throughout his life, this kind of emotion is far more precious than love in Timur, who has a strong nature. After Yunna's death, the relationship between Timur and Kusin further deteriorated. Huxin took advantage of his stronger military force than Timur, and first sent troops to attack and occupy one of Timur's territories - the city of Karsi.Timur heard the news in Jieshi City and wanted to take back the city, but he only attacked the city once and was defeated.Seeing that Hu Xin had many soldiers and generals, and that it was useless to attack by force, he felt troubled in his heart, and spent all day in his account borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.Shanai persuaded him a little, which angered him, so he locked Shanai up.He even said to his close guards: He is no match for Hu Xin, so it is better to retreat to the other side of the Amu Darya River to protect himself.

His decadence aroused the resentment of Shahai, Aiku, Shauke and others. These disappointed generals decided to abandon Timur and find another master.Hu Xin finds out their thoughts, and Hu Xin intends to win them over, but they can't believe Hu Xin's behavior and have been hesitant. Two months later, when Shahai, Aiku, Shauke, and Nuridin saw that Timur was still as hopeless as before, they had no choice but to leave Timur with their respective troops and head towards Afghanistan.It is said that they wanted to join a young lord there, a descendant of Hulagu Khan. Only Duoge remained with Timur.

Xu Liegu Khan is the third son of Tuolei, the fourth son of Genghis Khan, and the younger brother of Mengge Khan, the fourth great Khan of Mongolia, and Kublai Khan, who established the Great Yuan Empire.At that time, it was still the era of Mongol Khan, and Hulagu was ordered to go west. Through a series of campaigns, he established the Ili Khanate, which included Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmen, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Guerzhi and other vassal kingdoms. Set up accounts in South Azerbaijan.However, among the vassal states of the Ilkhanate, according to Genghis Khan’s will, Iran and the countries of the South Caucasus were originally the territories of the Golden Horde, and Hulagu took them as his own with the acquiescence of Mengge Khan and Kublai Khan However, as the descendants of Batu Khan Jochi, of course they were not willing to give up their sphere of influence, so disputes continued between the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate.Coincidentally, the Chagatai Khanate and the Wokuotai Khanate were also involved in endless wars for the same reason, and the four Mongolian Khanates gradually declined in this internal struggle, existing in name only.

When Timur was born, the fragmentation and political chaos of the four khanates almost reached the point where it could not be added.It gave Timur the opportunity to show his military and political talents and calmly clean up the mess. A few years later, Timur defeated the vassal states of the four Khanates in Central Asia, West Asia and Asia Minor, and at the same time forced Europe to spy on China. Established the Timurid Empire that once shocked the world. Looking at the achievements of Timur's life, it seems that it is the decline and existence of the four khanates that made him a hero in troubled times in the future.

Today, one of the six most important generals under Timur's command is in prison, and four of them have left him. Timur is alone and alone, and he has to retreat to the other side of the Amu Darya as he planned before. .He disappeared on the other side of the Amu Darya, and his disappearance made Hu Xin relax his vigilance. Seeing that Timur was no longer his threat, Hu Xin led the army to leave Karsi City and capture Jieshi.The defenders of Karsi City were not afraid because of the lack of defenders. They allowed the soldiers to drink and have fun, making the city defense useless.One night half a month later, Timur, who had sneaked back to the vicinity of Karsi City from the other side of the Amu Darya, suddenly attacked the city.

To recapture the city of Karsi, Timur took advantage of the crossbow and stone cannons manufactured by Huxinming Weapons Workshop but had no time to use, and seized the time to deploy the city's defense.He knew that Hu Xin would definitely not give up on Karsi City, and he and Hu Xin would definitely face a tough battle. Now that Karxi City had returned to his hands, he could not repeat the same mistakes that Hu Xin made. Shanai was released early and was in charge of supervising the rolling logs and stones used to defend the city. As Timur expected, Hu Xin was very angry when he heard that Timur took the city of Karsi in one fell swoop while the defenders were unprepared.He immediately led the army to set off, vowing to drive Timur away at all costs this time, drive him into the desert or into the Caspian Sea, and disappear forever.

Hu Xin launched a strong attack on Karsi City without stopping.Timur had been prepared for a long time, but even so, he was still facing unprecedented difficulties.Kusin was like an angry beast, and his army was far more numerous than Timur's. Even if Timur personally went into battle, he could only stop Kusin under the city, but he could not really defeat Kusin's army. Keep him away from his territory. For several days in a row, Hu Xin commanded the army to attack Karsi City every day, without stopping from morning to night.Timur's side suffered heavy casualties. Gradually, some generals lost confidence and suggested breaking out or making peace with Kusin. Timur called them together and delivered a brief speech.He said that when he was about to wake up in the early morning, he saw the prophet, and the prophet told him that as long as he persisted until tomorrow morning, a miracle would happen.He also said that he is a man of conscience and cherishes honor more than anyone else. When Hu Xin and his army are driven away, he will definitely take out the treasures in the city and reward them all bereaved.

The generals believed his mobilization and commitment, and conveyed his words to the soldiers exactly.With hope and morale buoyed, Hushin's attack was repulsed that day with more determination than usual. The repeated setbacks made Hu Xin depressed. At night, he drank alone and got drunk, and for the first time, he did not spend the night with his beloved woman.Hu Xin was originally worried that the long-term failure of the attack on Karsi City would lead to other accidents, but he did not expect more desperate news to reach his ears when he was still half-drunk and half-awake. Hu Xin was shocked by this news, his whole body trembled, and he jumped up from the bed. In the early morning, the miracle predicted by Timur really happened.Shahai, Aiku, Shauke and Nuridin dispatched surprise troops to take Jieshi City, and then returned to reinforce Timur.Hu Xin's army was attacked from the front and back, and their positions were in chaos.Knowing that the defeat was certain, Hu Xin fought his way out and fled back to Samarkand with more than a hundred soldiers. Timur did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. He ordered to take out the treasury of Karsi City and reward all the soldiers, people and families of the deceased who had made great contributions to the defense of the city. Next, there will be a grand banquet for three consecutive days. Timur certainly deserved a good celebration of his victory in Karsi.First of all, his strategy of retreating to advance was successful. He paralyzed Hu Xin with the illusion of fear of the enemy, and took back the city of Karsi with almost no casualties. Secondly, he restrained Hu Xin in Karxi City, creating conditions for the four generals of Shihai to take back Jieshi City and wipe out Hu Xin's vital forces in one fell swoop. Third, Timur's victory made many people who hesitated to see hope from him. He replaced Hu Xin and established a new image of hegemony. Finally, and most importantly, the battle for Karsi City ended with Timur's victory. As a result, the power between him and Kusin changed. The subordinate status, and therefore, enabled the two-headed regime in the middle of the river to be truly established. In the following year, Timur and Kuxin guarded their respective spheres of influence and did not dare to cross easily. They were worried that both sides would suffer. Sometimes small-scale conflicts occurred, and both sides would handle them carefully so as not to intensify the conflict.The brief peace between the two sides bought time for the people in the river to recuperate. Production resumed, business activities became active, and prosperity became a superficial phenomenon. This really depends on the joint efforts of Timur and Huxin. However, peace is not all Timur really hopes for.He is not a person who is willing to be content with the status quo, all he is waiting for is a suitable opportunity.
