The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 585 Alliance and Encroachment

Upon hearing this, the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate burst into laughter.

"So what if the Ming army is powerful? I have three good sons, each with considerable skills. With them around, I have absolutely no need to worry about the Ming army attacking!"

Upon hearing this, everyone launched into another round of flattery.

When Ankertanshuridamer arrived in the south, he was relieved to find that there were not many troops there, as most of the troops were rebels.

After arriving at this place, he did not refuse to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack and defeated many enemy troops.

At this time, the army at sea was led by Wu Liang and Mu Ying.

They were quite surprised to learn that Ankertanshuridamer had brought a considerable number of troops to this place.

"Interesting. I didn't expect that they could put together such an army on their own with their current strength."

However, having this army alone wouldn't be of much use!

"Defeating them is not a difficult task. Just as they were discussing how to deal with Ankhtanshuridamer, a person claiming to be Ankhtanshuridamer's messenger arrived at this place!"

Upon hearing this, the two frowned deeply, filled with doubt.

"What exactly is Ankertanshuridamer up to?" "Why did he suddenly send someone to this place? What does he want to do?"

"Could it be that they're issuing us a challenge?"

Mu Ying shook her head after hearing this.

"No matter what he does, we should still take a look!"

Not long afterward, Ankhtanshuridamur's messenger arrived at this place.

"These two in front are the Duke of Qian and the Duke of Jiang of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I have come on the orders of my Second Prince to form an alliance with you two!"

The two were extremely surprised to hear this, wondering what they were up to.

"It seems we're here to attack you, so why would we form an alliance with you, or what benefits might we possibly gain from it?"

The man laughed after hearing this.

"That's for sure. I've long heard that one of the two dukes leads the invincible fleet of the Ming Dynasty, making him the only hegemon across the world's seas, while the other occupies the entire Khmer Empire and is incredibly powerful!"

"If we can unite, then no one in this southern region will be our match. Therefore, our prince has decided to join forces with the two of you to completely occupy this area, and we can also divide the land among ourselves!"

The two men were extremely surprised to hear this. They hadn't expected Ankhtanshuridamur to come up with such an idea as dividing the land with them. Was he planning to partition the Chagatai Khanate? The two men exchanged a smile and immediately understood each other's meaning. "Since the goal is to divide the land, you should at least offer some suitable suggestions!"

At this moment, the envoy brought out a map. Looking at the map, they couldn't help but frown. Ankertanshuridamur occupied the most territory on the map, and the two of them each occupied some, which made Mu Ying somewhat dissatisfied.

"Your prince is quite audacious, daring to occupy so much land all by himself. Does he really think I can't conquer this land?" "I think there's no need for us to continue negotiating!"

"I will lead my army to attack now, and let's see how long your prince can hold out!"

The messenger became anxious upon hearing this.

"General Mu Ying, there's no need for that. My prince spent some time in Yingtian Prefecture before and has long heard of General Mu Ying's illustrious reputation!"

"This matter is not unnecessarily negotiable; we are willing to concede some more benefits!"

So Mu Ying allocated a considerable portion of the land, and the most fertile land at that, to his own command.

Upon witnessing this scene, the envoy was extremely displeased.

"Isn't this distribution a bit too much?"

"No matter what, this is still the territory of our Chagatai Khanate. If we divide our land like this, I'm afraid many people in the country will disagree. If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ying and Wu Liang burst into laughter.

"Sorry, we're not afraid of trouble. Our army is right here. If you're not happy, we can keep fighting. But I'm warning you, our troops are already assembled in various places. If we start fighting, you might not have any advantage!"

Ankertanshuridamur's envoy frowned and hurriedly said, "Since the two dukes have already said so, I will report this matter to our prince later, and then give you a suitable contract."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded with a smile. After the envoy left, Wu Liang and Mu Ying gave a cold laugh.

"It seems this second prince is also an ambitious fellow. Does he think we're like him?"

Both of them sneered upon hearing this. If it were any other family, they might have thought the same thing, but the problem was that the current emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang, the successor was the crown prince Zhu Biao, and then there was the grandson Zhu Xiong Ying.

These three generations of the family are still alive today.

To expect them to have any ideas? That's a joke, completely unrealistic.

"However, this is indeed a good opportunity for us. Our main task is to draw this force away and gradually erode the enemy!"

“Once this is exposed, I believe the people there will realize they have been abandoned, and their sense of belonging to the Delhi Sultanate will not be as strong!”

At this moment, Ankhtanshuridamur's messenger returned to the military camp and told Ankhtanshuridamur about the results he had obtained. Ankhtanshuridamur was furious when he saw the agreement in his hand.

"Are these guys crazy? Do they really think I'm afraid of them? I absolutely cannot accept these conditions, no matter what!"

"If all else fails, then we'll keep fighting!"

Upon hearing this, the envoy beside him hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

“Your Highness Ankhtanshuridamur, we cannot continue fighting. In terms of military strength, we are the weakest among the other princes. If we suffer heavy losses in this battle, we may no longer have the strength to compete with these guys. Therefore, we must not continue fighting under any circumstances!”
