Chapter 652 Summoning?

"Peace negotiation?" When Fu Youde and Zhu Di in the military camp heard the news, they looked at each other in surprise. The battle was over, and Timur actually sent someone to discuss peace negotiations?

"General, what do you think Timur is doing?" Zhu Di immediately asked Fu Youde.

"It's hard to say. Timur has indeed appeared as a defeat now, but it is not completely powerless. It is really surprising that he negotiated peace at this time." Fu Youde stroked his beard and said.

Before, they defeated Timur, and then kept harassing the other party, making the other party exhausted. At the same time, the Ming army also accumulated strength and prepared to give Timur another fatal blow when the other party's morale collapsed. As a result, they were clenching their fists and preparing to hit them. Timur actually wanted to make peace with them, which made Fu Youde also unexpected.

"What should I do? Should I drive people back? After all, we have the initiative, and we should have the final say whether to fight or to peace!" Zhu Di asked again. He actually did not agree with peace talks. After all, I finally had to completely defeat Timur now, and of course it was impossible to let the other party go so easily.

"It is definitely impossible to negotiate peace, but you can let Timur's messenger come in and see what the other party said?" Fu Youde was still relatively mature and cautious, and said again immediately.

Zhu Di felt it made sense when he heard this, so he did not object. The two ordered the guards to bring Timur's messenger in.

After a while, a man from the Western Regions with a deep nose walked in. The man seemed to be proficient in the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. When he came in, he knelt down and said in very fluent Chinese: "The messenger Dickli greeted the two generals!"

"Temur asked you to negotiate peace?" Fu Youde did not let the other party stand up, but asked directly. After all, they are the ones who have the advantage, so there is no need to be polite to Timur's messenger.

"Report to General, the Khan did send villains to ask for peace talks. We were originally a vassal country of the Ming Dynasty. This time the Khan was willing to offer tribute to resolve this misunderstanding!" The envoy Dickli also said respectfully again.

"Misunderstanding? Timur mobilized more than 400,000 troops and traveled thousands of miles to our border with Ming Dynasty to use troops. He also fought so many battles with us. He wanted to fool him with a misunderstanding. Do you think we are fools?" Zhu Di, who was next to him, also sneered and questioned.

Dickli was also full of embarrassment. This expedition was initiated by Timur. Now that he has been defeated, he has to use misunderstandings to explain it. Even with his skin, he feels a little unreasonable.

However, Dickli smiled again and said, "General, calm down, we Khan said, this time it was indeed wrong, so in order to express our apology, Khan is willing to agree to any conditions of the Ming Dynasty, as long as we can withdraw our troops!"

"Any conditions?" Fu Youde and Zhu Di looked at each other again after hearing this, and they didn't believe each other very much.

"Yes, it's just any condition. Even our Khan said that as long as the Ming Dynasty can let us leave, we are willing to offer hundreds of cars of gold and thousands of beauties. In addition, if the Ming Dynasty is interested in the Western Regions, our Khan is willing to retreat. As long as there is a place where the Ming army is, he will never get involved!" Dickli took the initiative again.

Zhu Di and Fu Youde were also a little surprised when they heard such generous conditions. This was not a peace talk, but it was just a matter of seeking peace. However, it also made the two believe in this matter a little. After all, this sincerity is enough.

Of course, even if you believe it, Fu Youde and Zhu Di are not so easy to convince, so the two quickly asked again: "In addition to these, what else did Timur say?"

Dickli felt that Fu Youde and his two men's attitudes softened, and immediately said even more excitedly: "We Khan also said that if the Ming Dynasty is not satisfied with these conditions, other conditions can be negotiated. We only hope that the Ming Dynasty can let us go back as our subordinates."

When Fu Youde and Zhu Di heard that they could negotiate conditions, they were even more surprised. Then Fu Youde waved his hand and said, "You go down first, we need to discuss it!"

"General, don't worry, we Khan also said that if the two generals have other requests, even to show sincerity, we Khan is willing to interview the two generals in person!" Dickli replied again, and after saying that, he withdrew from the tent.

"What do you think about your highness?" Fu Youde asked Zhu Di. Although they now have the advantage, they still dare not underestimate Timur. After all, the other party still has more than 300,000 troops in their hands, and they are still more powerful than the Ming Dynasty. If they really fight, even if the Ming Dynasty can win, they will probably suffer a considerable casualties.

The most important thing is that the Timur Empire is too far from the Ming Dynasty. Even if it wins the other side, the Ming Dynasty will not get any substantial benefits. At most, it will spread the Ming Dynasty's reputation to the Western Regions, laying some foundation for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Western Regions in the future.

Moreover, even if Timur loses this battle, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to completely destroy the other side. As the saying goes, the distance between the two sides is too far, and the Ming army will not be able to attack Samarkand at all. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the Timur Empire will still be a powerful country in Central Asia. If the two countries become mortal enemies, if the Ming Dynasty wants to march into the Western Regions in the future, it will have to face the counterattack of the Timur Empire.

In contrast, if peace talks are now discussed, although Timur's main army cannot be eliminated, it can get many substantial benefits through peace talks. In addition, after Timur surrenders, the entry into the Western Regions will be smoother in the future, and may even get assistance from Timur.

It was precisely because of the above that Fu Youde was a little hesitant and asked Zhu Di for advice at this time.

Zhu Di also showed a thoughtful look at this time. After a while, he raised his head and said, "General, if Timur sincerely seeks peace, he can consider it, but I am worried that he is not asking for peace, but to delay time!"

"I have considered this possibility, so I am a little hesitant now. In addition, I am also considering that even if Timur is delaying time, I am afraid he is useless. After all, he has recruited troops from the whole country, and there will be no reinforcements if he waits, right?" Fu Youde said again at this time.

"What if his purpose of delaying time is not to wait for reinforcements?" Zhu Di suddenly raised a possibility.

"It's not waiting for reinforcements!" Fu Youde stood up all of a sudden when he heard this. After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield. He was just too hasty before, so he didn't think very comprehensively. Now, after Zhu Di's reminder, he suddenly understood and said in shock, "He wants to secretly cross Chen Cang!"
