Zhao Min's words made Zhang Wuji feel a little relieved, but at the same time, another source of uneasiness began to rise.

"Min'er, let me go to negotiate with Timur."

Zhao Minyan said: "You can't go, only I can go. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Let me be honest, if something happens to me, at least I still have you. If something happens to you, what should I do?"

"When I went on the expedition to Japan before, I left most of my soldiers there. They are good at burning, killing and looting, so let them do those things in Japan."

"When I'm not around, you can lead the troops to fight. As long as you can still fight, even if I fall into Timur's hands, he won't dare to act rashly. But if you're not around, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."

"My rights are all given by you. If I didn't have your support behind me, do you really think I could command Yang Xiao and the others?"

Zhang Wuji sighed again: "Min'er is right, then I will send someone else to negotiate with Timur. In short, you can't go."

Zhao Min smiled and said, "My enemy, I know you are worried about me. Don't worry, I will be fine. As long as you and your hundreds of thousands of troops are still here, Timur will not dare to touch me."

…

Ten days later, Kashgar City.

These ten days of journey were undoubtedly the most difficult since the beginning of this expedition.

First there were hundreds of miles of desert, and then hundreds of miles of hilly areas. Along the way, there was almost no one living there. Kashgar was a small city with only more than 10,000 people in the city. But now, 150,000 soldiers had come to this small city.

In this poor and remote place, where have they ever seen so many warriors in heavy armor? The people were in panic, but they only knew that this group of Ming warriors were about to conquer a place called Persia. At this moment, more than 500 miles away from Kashgar City, there were also more than 100,000 soldiers stationed there.

However, the owners of these troops were not generals of the Ming Dynasty, nor were they soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They were all soldiers of the Timurid Khanate.

At this time, Timur was in a very uneasy situation. He had sent countless spies to Kashgar City to find out the situation of the Ming army there. Only by understanding their situation could he make corresponding countermeasures. However, when Timur learned that the armor rate of the Ming army had reached 100%, his heart sank.

Kashgar City is thousands of miles away from the center of the Ming Dynasty, and thousands of miles away from the rice-producing area of ​​Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty. Such a distance is enough to transport hundreds of thousands of troops here, which is enough to show the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Rather than fight against such an army, he would rather fight a fierce battle with the Persians.

"What should I do? What should I do? Will the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty declare war on me with some ridiculous excuse?"

"Once the war breaks out, how long can I hold out? The most important thing is, after the war between me and the Ming Dynasty, will those damn Persians cut off my retreat?"

Timur was extremely troubled and could not think of any solution for a while. In the end, he could only wait and see.

…

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

In Kashgar City, just when Zhang Wuji had just entered the most luxurious house in the city to rest, Qianye Kong, who had not been seen for a long time, came here.

It can be seen that Qianye Kong was a little excited. That excitement had nothing to do with anything else. It was just a woman missing her man.

Zhang Wuji quickly helped Qianye up: "Really? I have told you many times that my women don't have to kneel."

Qianye smiled slightly, with a mischievous expression on his face: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and my man. Qianye likes to kneel in front of you. Only in this way can I look up to you."

Qianye's words left the other women present speechless. Zhou Zhiruo and the others would never be able to utter the words Qianye had just said even if they died.

Zhao Minyan said: "Qianye, that's enough. You are too eloquent. If you want to look up to Zhang Wuji, there will be plenty of opportunities tonight. Tell me what information you have obtained recently. It would be best if it is something useful."

Qianye Kong did not dare to neglect: "In reply to Empress Min'er, I came here in advance. As for Persia, I let Longze and Aoi go ahead, while I stayed in the Western Regions to find out the news of the Timurid Khanate."

"According to the reports from the girls under my command, the Timurid Khanate was a small country with a poor population. There were only about 120,000 combat soldiers in the entire country. In fact, before Your Majesty decided to go on the expedition, Timur had already had the idea of ​​taking action against Persia because he wanted to expand. He wanted to attack Persia before Persia attacked him. That way, his chances of winning would be greater."

Zhao Min said, "Qianye, your information is worthless. I could figure out what you said when I was lying in bed with this enemy."

Qianye was a little frightened: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have also heard that the Timurid Khanate's military forces have all been concentrated in a place five hundred miles away. I also know their country's population, tax revenue, and food reserves..."

After hearing this, Zhao Min's pretty face finally relaxed a little; "Well, even though this information is of no practical use, it is better than nothing."

"You have been in the Western Regions for some time, so it must have been hard work. As for tonight, since you want to look up to Zhang Wuji, then he is yours tonight, and you can look up to him to your heart's content."

"As for Timur, since I'm already here, I still have to meet with him and see if I can borrow the road to attack Persia. If I can, then I can wait and see. If not, I will destroy Timur first and then destroy Persia."

Zhang Wuji frowned again: "Min'er, it's too risky for you to do this. For this kind of thing, just send an envoy. Why do you have to go in person?"

Zhao Min rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuji and said, "Really? What's wrong with me going there in person? Didn't I tell you that as long as you still have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, Timur will not dare to do anything to me. The tougher you are, the more confident I will be."
