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

Chapter 407 Pride Comes Before a Fall
After thinking about this place, Subridamur's eyes were filled with smugness.

This time, he might be able to lead his troops directly to the former Yuan capital, Dadu.

He was very clear about the prosperity of Yuan Dadu, having visited it with his elders when he was young, though he had only been there briefly for a few days.

Then they returned to the Chagatai Khanate, but even the most prosperous place in the entire Chagatai Khanate was nothing compared to the Yuan capital, Dadu.

If I can conquer this city this time, I will definitely gain a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this place, his eyes were filled with excitement, especially his strong desire for the future.

Soon after Mahmud left the tent, his deputy noticed that Mahmud's expression was rather unpleasant and said regretfully.

"Commander Hamu, has something happened to you?" "You don't seem particularly happy!"

Upon hearing this, Mahmud snorted coldly.

"You think this Subi Damur has any skill? I think they're all a bunch of useless trash. They're so arrogant in front of their enemy. Subi Damur calls himself a famous general, but now it seems he's nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs. They think they can take over the Ming Dynasty? That's just wishful thinking!"

The deputy general standing nearby was extremely surprised to hear this.

Although it was unexpected, he did not object, even though Mahmud was quite young.

He greatly admired their vision and strategy, and since they said so, it must be true.

"What should we do? We can only return to this land by relying on the Chagatai Khanate!"

"If even they can't be relied upon, how will we survive?"

"The Ming Dynasty's strength is simply too great. We might not be able to defeat them on our own!"

Upon hearing this, Mahmud sighed, a sense of helplessness immediately appearing in his eyes.

Although he seemed very confident when he spoke to Subridamur, even he dared not believe that they could actually find a tribe to support them.

So much time has passed, and he's not sure if there are still any people who are extremely loyal to them. He's afraid that those tribes might not obey his orders.

He sighed and said.

"At this point, we can only take it one step at a time!"

"After all, we were very different back then."

Therefore, we must first understand the current situation on the grassland before making any plans, otherwise we will definitely suffer losses. You should immediately send someone to the grassland to investigate the current situation.

"What level are these tribes at, and where are they stationed? Regardless of whether we can win them over, we still need to try. Only when all the tribes on our grasslands unite can we become stronger!" Not long after, Mahmud's envoy arrived at several Mongol tribes in the east. The leaders of these tribes gathered together after the Ming army, with its overwhelming strength, brought the surrounding area under their control.

They started to band together to make fire, and they discussed most important matters together, even though there were great conflicts between their tribes and battles often broke out.

However, when it comes to this matter concerning the Ming Dynasty, they are still very united. The fact that Mahmud's letter has been delivered to them has greatly shocked them.

At this moment, the leader held two letters in his hand and spoke.

"My lords, I have two letters in my hands. One is from Zhu Xiong Ying, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince, and the other is from Mahmud!"

"The Ming dynasty's grandson, Zhu Xiong Ying, hopes that we can send troops to join them in dealing with the Chagatai Khanate coming from the west!"

"Mahamu hopes that all the tribes on our grasslands can unite and continue to fight for the glory of the Eternal Heaven. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. This was indeed a very difficult choice, but it was simply a matter of which option would bring them the greatest benefit.

As for the glory of the Eternal Heaven, since the Northern Yuan was destroyed, this concept has long been forgotten by them, and no one mentions it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Mahmud, who had fled this place, brought up the matter again, causing them to frown and point to a tribal chief.

"I think Mahmud is absolutely right. No matter what, we are all from the grasslands!"

"Since the war that the Ming Dynasty launched against us, our strength on the grasslands has become very weak. In addition, the Ming army stationed around us is very powerful, and our living space is much worse than before!"

“If things continue like this, we may live entirely in the shadow of the Ming Dynasty, which is really not worth it. I think if we unite with the Chagatai Khanate, we might be able to change this situation. After all, those people are all descendants of Genghis Khan!”

"They still possess immense power. If we combine our strength, we could completely control the northern grasslands, and then the entire northern grasslands would be ours!"

He was very excited when he said this, as if it wouldn't be long before they could bring the entire grassland under their control and become an even more powerful empire.

Just then, another leader standing nearby frowned and said something.

"This matter is probably not that simple. The letter that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty wrote to us was probably to test our attitude towards him."

If they seize upon this incident as leverage, the Ming army will undoubtedly march north, which would be disastrous for us!

"Currently, the people in our tribe are living a decent life, and there is no need to completely break ties with the Ming army. Otherwise, it will only bring us harm and no benefit!"

"No matter what, the Ming Dynasty is still very powerful. Don't forget that Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Hua Yunlong are still nearby. If we make any rash moves, they will have a reason to deal with us. They will raise troops from all directions, and we will inevitably be attacked by multiple armies. At that time, it will be difficult for our tribe to survive!"
