Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Led by Kublai Khan, a group of people rode on horses, wearing ordinary white clothes and covering their faces with towels, dressed like the local army.

He even hid his saber, dressed up as a civilian, and planned to escape the city during the war.

"Listen everyone, the relationship between us now is that of brothers from the same family, you can just call me Big Brother!
Don't call me Khan, or call me Kublai Khan directly, you must call me Big Brother, understand?" Kublai Khan looked at his subordinates and said seriously.

If he wanted to leave here and escape successfully, he had to be fully prepared. Although he knew that he was in great danger this time, Kublai Khan still planned to give it one last try and take a gamble.

All the generals nodded. At this moment, they no longer called Kublai Khan "Khan", but called him "Big Brother" until they could safely escape from the city.

"It's Kublai Khan, right? Brother, we all listen to you." said a general of the Kublai Khanate.

"Well, brothers, this time, we are in danger of death. Whether we can escape depends on luck.

If you can escape, I promise all of you that if you follow my brothers, I will not let you suffer any loss." Kublai nodded to everyone, then rode his horse and led his men towards the city gate.

"Brother! Which city gate should we go through this time?"

"We definitely can't go through the front gate because that is the main attack point of the Western Expedition army, so we have to go through the other three gates and go to the South Gate first to see the situation." Kublai Khan thought for a moment and spoke.

Everyone nodded together, and hundreds of people rode their horses towards the South Gate. At this time, a large number of Western Expedition troops had already deployed their troops on the side of the South Gate. Mongolian cavalrymen were holding swords on both sides, riding on horses to provide intimidation.

The musketeers advanced steadily under the cover of the shield soldiers. After all the civilians kneeling on the ground were searched and found to be OK, they would temporarily leave the city and then gather at the place arranged by the Western Expedition Army.

Zhang Yong's army had a detailed strategic plan long ago when it was still the Guanzhong Army. In order to prevent the enemy's main general from escaping, there was a detailed set of controls. First of all, several main gates must be guarded.

Secondly, the army will also search around the entire city for possible secret doors to prevent the enemy from escaping through the secret doors.

Although there are some small ditches in Samarkand, only one or two people can pass through them.

Zhang Dingguan felt that, given Kublai Khan's arrogance, he might lead his men to escape, but he would never crawl through a dog hole in the sewer.

However, these sewers have been found one by one, or are being searched for, and dozens of soldiers have been sent to guard them. Once there is any problem, they will immediately set off the fireworks they carry with them to notify other teams to come over.

"If anyone doesn't want to die, all of you should kneel on the ground. After checking, you are not carrying any weapons.

Then we can let you leave the city temporarily, but after you leave the city, you are not allowed to run around and you must spend the night in the place we designate.

We will provide you with some food, but if you don’t obey our orders, you will die.” An officer from the Chagatai family began to shout in the local language.

Some other soldiers from the Chahetai family also came to help, after all, they were the only ones who understood the local language.

The local people basically have no resistance. Under the current circumstances, as long as they can stay alive, they are blessed by God, and they can only obey the other party's arrangements.

“All soldiers, lay down your weapons, whether you are Mongolians or locals, as long as you are willing to lay down your weapons, you will be captured.

The Mongols will be sent to the grasslands, where you can undergo labor reform. As for the local soldiers, you will first serve as laborers for a period of time.

But you are not slaves, we will provide you with food and accommodation, and we will let you go home after the war is over." The Mongolian generals at the city gate were still maintaining order.

After some discussion, the surrendered Mongolian soldiers decided to keep them as prisoners for the time being. After the war was over, they would arrange for someone to send them back to the Mongolian grasslands to serve as labor.

Some surrendered soldiers had no complaints about this. In their opinion, or in the Mongolian concept, as long as you are defeated in the war, you will become a slave, your life and death will be in the hands of the enemy, and you will have no say.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't cause trouble, the Khan will pardon you after we return to the East." Quedebuhua said.

Mongolian soldiers and generals would address Zhang Yong as the Great Khan, while Han soldiers and generals would address Chang Yong as the Emperor or His Majesty.

After arriving at the south gate, Kublai Khan looked from afar and saw that the large number of troops on the Western Expedition had already taken control of the situation. His own army had no intention of resisting at all. They all laid down their weapons and left the city under the escort of Zhang Yong's army.

"Brother Kublai! Should we go over? It looks like we can leave the city after laying down our weapons. If we can leave the city, it will be much more convenient." One of Kublai Khan's generals asked.

"No! Didn't you see they asked us to lay down our weapons? How can we live in the wild without our sabers?"

The Mongolians could lose everything, including their cattle and sheep, their parents, their wives and children.

But they must not lose the sabers in their hands. If they lose the sabers, then they will really have nothing.

"Hand over your weapons. If you can get out of the city, it's actually not a big deal. But what I'm worried about is that we will be controlled by them after leaving the city." Kublai Khan said with a frown.

The inspection at the city gate is very strict, and the Western Expedition Army is continuously pouring into the city to control various areas. They really don't have much time left.

"Brother, what you mean is that if we go out, we will not be able to escape Zhang Yong's army and will control us?"

"Well! This is the consistent style of Zhang Yong's army. In order to prevent the enemy's generals or other important leaders from escaping, Zhang Yong specially formulated this series of plans to prevent the enemy from escaping in the chaos." Kublai Khan said.

He had read the battle reports of the Southern Expedition in detail. Many Southern Song generals had planned to take advantage of the chaos to leave the city, but basically no one had managed to escape. You can leave the city, but you must lay down your weapons and live in a specially arranged tent.

All civilians will be allowed to leave until Zhang Yong's army finds the people they want.

Otherwise you must stay. If you even dare to incite ordinary people to riot, the consequences will be even worse.

Because inciting rebellion in this way would make it easier to expose themselves, Zhang Yong's army gathered civilians.

But they will not leave them alone. Instead, they will provide them with some simple tents and food to ensure their basic personal safety.

"Brother! If that's the case, how can we escape?" A general of the Kublai Khanate said anxiously.

"Why don't we draw our sabers and charge out directly! After we charge out, turn around and run without stopping." A general suggested.

"No, we only have more than 200 people. If we rush out, we will just die." Kublai Khan shook his head.

There is no way. This strategy is too unfeasible. If we rush out rashly, we will definitely die.

Moreover, it would expose his goal, and the Western Expedition Army would definitely pursue him with all their strength. At that time, let alone escape, he would be killed by the enemy directly.

It's daytime now and it's not dark yet. The enemy's flying artifact can fly into the sky to find me.

Your army is moving too quickly. It's only been two days since you arrived, and you've already launched a full-scale offensive, leaving me no time to prepare.

If they had more time to prepare, even until tonight, he would let all the Mongolian troops rush out of the city.

It would still be possible to escape in the chaos, but in the current situation, several city gates are controlled by the enemy, which is really too difficult.

"How about we gather a few thousand-man teams and have them rush out, and we'll take advantage of the chaos to run away."

"We can't gather other troops now. All the troops have lost contact. Even if we want to find people, we can't rush out!" said a Mongolian general, shaking his head.

Do you think it is so easy to gather an army? After the Western Expedition Army launched a full-scale attack.

All the troops had lost contact with their commanders, and now that so much time had passed, almost all of them had either surrendered or been captured. "Why don't we hide in the city until night, and then find a way to rush out at night," a Mongolian general suggested.

If they can't get out during the day, then they will have a chance as long as they wait until night.

"At night, the enemy will guard the gate more strictly and will not relax at all.

If we rush out, at most there will be no search and arrest by flying artifacts, but some other cavalry units will still search and arrest us. "Kublai Khan said.

It's not that easy! The situation is more dangerous at night. During the day, you just need to not take out your weapon.

Then the Western Expedition Army will not do anything to you, but if they shout at night and you do not stop, what awaits you will be a rain of arrows and the pursuit of thousands of cavalry.

By then, a team of only a hundred people would be doomed.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Are we just going to sit here and wait to die in the city?" A general with a bad temper shouted, not even giving Kublai Khan any face.

Kublai Khan and his people have been following Kublai Khan for so many years, and they have been suffering, suffering, and suffering all the time. They have not enjoyed any benefits since they started following Kublai Khan.

From the beginning to the end, there was only one thing following them, and that was failure, failure!

"How can this bastard talk to my brother like that?" A Mongolian general nearby immediately slapped him in the face.

When Kublai Khan saw this scene, he sighed helplessly. The morale had dropped to the point that he could not control it. It was fine for ordinary soldiers, but now even the generals of the Tore family had reached the limit of their patience with him.

"Don't be anxious, let's follow them out of the city first. If they want them, just hand over our sabers! Let's go outside the city first." Kublai Khan said after thinking for a moment.

Staying in the city is definitely a dead end. The Western Expedition Army will definitely do their best to search for me, so I absolutely cannot stay in the city and I must find a way to get out no matter what.

Everyone nodded together, and then slowly approached the city gate. They were then surrounded by a group of musketeers and Mongolian cavalry who rushed over with hundreds of sabers and hundreds of muskets pointed at them.

"Get off your horse immediately! No one is allowed to ride a horse in this city. No matter who you are, get off your horse immediately, otherwise I will kill you without mercy." The general leading the Western Expedition army shouted.

"Everyone, everyone, don't be angry. We are just merchants in the city. We only carry a saber with us for self-defense. We just want to leave the city." Kublai Khan hurriedly stepped forward and spoke, fearing to anger the other party.

He knew the power of this firearm. If they were hit by a bullet, all of them would be finished.

"I'll say it again, everyone get off your horses immediately. I won't waste your words." Xi Zheng Lin drew out his sword and pointed it at Kublai Khan and his men.

Kublai Khan nodded to everyone, and then they all dismounted. After they dismounted, they were immediately driven to the city gate by the musketeers and swordsmen, and their horses were all confiscated.

Horses are the most useful tool for escape, so they must be strictly controlled, as for walking.

Haha! If you can outrun the cavalry, go ahead and give it a try!

"Brother, our horses, our horses have been taken away by them."

"I saw it. Don't say anything. Let's go to the city gate first and wait and see what happens." Kublai Khan said.

After the group arrived at the city gate, they were immediately arranged for a separate inspection, and then escorted by more than 500 soldiers to a gathering place. However, their gathering point was not an ordinary gathering point for civilians.

Only a few of them, with their families, will be classified as civilians and sent to a centralized management area.

The troops would be sent to several centralized management locations, Mongols and locals would be treated separately, and Mongol generals would also be sent to separate locations.

When they were inspected just now, the officials in charge discovered that there were big problems with this group of people. First of all, their actions were too unified, and they were all Mongolians, with no local people at all. After all, the appearance of the two sides was different.

Moreover, they are all tall and straight. Such people are definitely not ordinary soldiers. The things they carry and some weapons are also top-notch, which are only used by Mongolian generals.

Therefore, Kublai Khan and others were not sent to any gathering place for civilians, but were sent to the places where various Mongolian generals lived.

Zhang Yong was extremely strict with his troops, especially when it came to inspections of prisoners.

It has always been the top priority. All the people responsible for the inspection have been specially trained and are from Zhang Yong’s assassin army.

We must understand a variety of matters and be able to distinguish clearly who is fake and who is a real civilian, who is an official and who is not an official, and who is a leader.

"General, where are we going?" Kublai Khan walked on the ground, looked at Jiang Ling who was riding a horse, and asked.

After the inspection of this group of people, all their horses were confiscated, and their weapons and knives, even a small dagger, were taken away. Now they have no ability to resist at all.

"Haha! You are generals, so naturally you should go to where the general lives. It is very luxurious there, and everyone is equipped with a single tent." The officer in charge of the escort said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Kublai Khan's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? They? Why did they think he was a general?

"General, you are joking. We are just ordinary civilians. We have some property at home and can be considered wealthy, but we are not Mongolian generals." Kublai Khan was very embarrassed.

Are you kidding me? This can help you find out where my flaws are.

"Hahaha! Each of the sabers you are wearing is finely crafted, and has some special marks engraved on it.

And your faces, although you are wearing local clothes, you are all Mongolians, so there is no need to say more, if you don't leave, you will die."

If you are ordinary merchants and civilians, then what am I? How can a merchant or civilian wear something that a Mongolian general wears?
How could a merchant carry such valuable royal treasures? And hundreds of people acted collectively.

What you and His Majesty said is exactly the same as the way of escape described in the book. This is a textbook failed escape.

If you want to run away, it is best to smear some dust on your face, wear tattered clothes, don't carry any saber, dress up like a beggar, and then break into pieces.

In this case, you will be assigned to the civilian camp, where there will not be any strict inspections.

Just get together and wait for the opportunity.

This is the best way to escape, but disguising as businessmen and acting with hundreds of people is the stupidest way.

What's more, each of you rides a horse, and these horses are the best war horses, which ordinary merchants cannot get.

There are even dozens of empty horses as spare war horses. In this situation, it is self-evident what your identity is.

Soon, a group of people were led to a place where Mongolian generals were captured. At that time, all the prisoners living here were officers at the level of a hundred or a thousand households or above.

After seeing Kublai Khan and his group, everyone's eyes widened.

"Kublai Khan, you, you have been captured as well?"

Hearing this, Kublai Khan closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Lost! (End of this chapter)
