The Song army should have very little food! They have so many people that they have to eat every day, so much food is not enough to consume.

So they should fight quickly... and Aslan Khan's granary still has some food in it, which can last for at least a few months. Therefore, Aslan Khan should choose not to stick to it!

Well, a good logic should be the correct choice that conforms to military science.

But just as Aslan Khan made the right choice, contracted completely and strengthened his defense, the Song army was not in a hurry at all, and had no intention of a decisive battle. Instead, he built a city on the south bank of the Chakmak River.

And in just one night, the city that faced Kashgar City across the Chakmak River had already begun to take shape.

"This, how is this possible!?"

"The city was built in one night..."

"Oh Allah, these devils from Song Kingdom must use magic, right?"

"It must be like this, otherwise how could they build such a city in one night?"

Not only Aslan Khan and Ibrahim were completely stunned, but also the ministers of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty who followed them onto the Kashgar walls were stunned.

A square city about ten feet high and more than 1,000 steps in length and width appeared overnight on the south bank of the Chakmak River. What is even more unimaginable is that the material for building this city is obviously not wood, but piece by piece... it seems like bricks and stones (actually sandbags), neatly built together!

How is this possible? How could the Song people build a stone city overnight? Where did they go to get so many stones? How did they transport it? Could it be that the pagan devil who came to peach blossom stone really knows magic?

This is a problem...

The dumbfounded people quickly reacted and began to discuss. Aslan Khan also recovered from his shock and called out to the most famous jurist in Kashgar City: "Hamidiye, what's going on? Is it the magic of pagans?"

"No, it shouldn't be..." Hamideye, wearing a Turkic robe and wrapped in a white turban, was named Hamideye Ben Mahmoud Ben Muhammad Kashgarri.

He was the son of Kashgarri who wrote the "Turkish Dictionary". Like his father, he was a scholar who was proficient in the classics, philosophy and history of the Tianfang Teachings, and was also the chief jurist of the Medelise Shagiye School in Kashgar City. He was also a noble Ikta knight, good at spear techniques and horse riding and archery.

However, he has no research on magic... nor is it in the Qur’an!

"It shouldn't be magic," someone immediately supported Hamideye. "Last night, the pagans in Song State construction overnight... They seem to be still continuing the construction now."

Aslan Khan stretched his neck and looked over. There were indeed many soldiers around the Song army's city. What was it? It seemed that the castle project was not completely over.

"Hamidiye," Aslan Khan thought for a while, and said, "You go to the enemy's camp... and find out the truth and truth. Go in the name of seeking peace!"

Hamideye quickly saluted, "Khan, what are the conditions for asking for peace?"

"Kashgar... I only want Kashgar City and all the land that originally belonged to Shule Town." Aslan Khan also knew that the land he now had entered China as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties and was called Shule. "And I can also pay tribute to the officials of the Song Dynasty!"

...

Zhang Yuan and Ma Zheng were sitting on a pile of grain bags with red eyes at this time, listening to the report of the engineer Jiyi Luogang.

"The Grand Instructor and General Military Plane, in two days, the city building can be completed initially, and the guards can be placed in place... Please give the Grand Instructor and General Military Plane a name to the new city!"

"One Night City" is just a talk. A city with a length of 1,000 steps can never be completed overnight. Now it is shown to the enemies on the other side of the Chakmak River, which is only thin four-sided city walls, and the height is not enough. It can only serve to shock the enemy. If you really want to fight, such a city is unreliable.

However, the 50,000 troops around the city (including more than 30,000 soldiers) are not paper-made. If Aslan Khan really goes out of the city to fight in a field, then Kashgar will take it...

"Just call it Lion Prison City!"

Zhao Zhongshun's voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Yuan and Ma Zheng. Zhang Yuan looked in the voice and saw Zhao Zhongshun wearing a purple robe and walking over in high spirits.

"Silhouette City? Is there any explanation?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Zhao Zhongshun smiled and said, "Didn't Aslan Khan mean Lion Khan? This city is the cage that locks Lion Khan, so it's called Lion Khan."

It is said very well. Isn’t this city just watching Aslan Khan’s cage? As long as this city is there, Aslan Khan will not be able to transfer tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people from Kashgar City to the Pamir Mountains safely. How could it be that it is possible to hide from this city that is separated from Kashgar?

At that time, you only need to ignite the beacon, send the news back to Shache Oasis one by one, and attract tens of thousands of cavalrymen, which is enough for Aslan Khan to bear.

Zhang Yuan and Ma Zheng looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay, just call it Lion Prison City!"

"Tongjun, do you think who will guard the Lion Prison City more reliable?"

"Let Cao Mian do the work of defending the city. He is a good general." Zhao Zhongshun said, "The Shazhou soldiers under his command are also very capable of defending, and at the beginning...haha."

Cao Mian's elite Shazhou soldiers fought against the Qin King Chuancheng battle and defended the fierce attack of the Song army and Hexi army.

"Okay," Zhang Yuan thought for a while, "I'll bother Deputy Cao to command the army. In addition, Luo Jiyi, you will also bring a battalion of engineers to stay and assist Deputy Cao to guard the city."

Luo Gang glanced at Ma Zheng, and Ma Zheng took over the conversation and said, "All the explosion rockets in the army are left for you!"

"Here!" After receiving Ma Zheng's permission, Luo Gang took the order loudly.

At this moment, the left and right came to report, and Aslan Khan sent an envoy to seek peace.

"Please seek peace?" Zhang Yuan sneered, "I will go outside the city to see him! Ma Junji, Zhao Tongjun, and the two will supervise the worker in the city... Be sure to build the city into a solid foundation!"

...

"What? Retirement in Shule Town?" Zhang Yuan looked at Hamidieye with a confused look in his central army tent.

Although this Tianfang Sect jurist approached the city, he also discovered that the Song army built a city wall made of soil in sacks instead of huge rocks.

But he still didn't understand what was going on with the huge number of Song troops? Now there are crowds of people under the "Silhouette City" city! They are busy digging soil to build a city, or busy setting up camp to guard the village, or lined up outside the camp, or riding horses to go out to patrol. I'm afraid there are really 50,000 or 60,000 troops in this situation?

"You go and tell Aslan Khan," Zhang Yuan smiled, "If he wants to retire, go to Kaifeng Prefecture! That is the best place in the world and is the most suitable for retirement."

"Great, great teacher..." Hamideye could speak a little Chinese, and he also knew what "teacher" means, but why did the Han generals also call "teacher"? What does this mean? Who are you going to educate?

"Great teaching," Hamidyye said with a frown, "There are hundreds of thousands of Kharakhan tribes here in Shule and the army of 100,000 Kharakhans. How can Aslan Khan not be in charge?"

"It's okay," Zhang Yuan smiled, "I will teach them the principles of heaven and the right way."

The right way of heaven?

The more Hamidey heard, the more confused he became, "Master, what does this righteous way mean?"

"The law of heaven is the origin of all things in the universe!"

What!? Hamidey looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.

Zhang Yuan continued: "The right way is the way of benevolence, and self-restraint and rituals will be returned to benevolence! This official will teach the people to know the laws of heaven, get rid of evil spirits, and self-restraint and benevolence... Only in this way can the Western Regions be harmonious and the world will be peaceful."

Hamideye shook his head: "But, but the people of the Western Regions have converted to the Tianfang Sect and regard Allah as the origin of all things in the universe."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "My Song Dynasty emphasizes equality, harmony between religions, and faith is based on oneself. The people of the Western Regions believe in what is based on oneself, and our officials only care about the teachings.

By the way, since Mr. Husband is a scholar of the Tianfang Sect, he must be a knowledgeable and talented person. It is better to return to the east with Aslan Khan. Now the academic style in the Song Dynasty is prosperous and famous teachers are produced. Many great scholars have studied the source of all things in the universe and the way of investigating things, and may be able to discuss the Tao and debate with Mr. Husband. Moreover, the officials have sent missions to the Dashi Country to obtain scriptures, and they will also have to translate. Mr. Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband

What? The Song Dynasty sent people to Baghdad to obtain scriptures? Did he take the Quran? This was found in the Song Dynasty!

Hamideye was a little moved by Zhang Yuan's words, but he would not take the bait easily. He shook his head and said, "I am the minister of Aslan Khan. Aslan Khan is a hero of the Western Regions and will never go to Kaifeng Prefecture to support his elderly care."

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan smiled, "I will ask him after I catch him."

Catched?

"Hahaha," Hamidiye laughed, "Even if the great tutor has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he may not be able to capture Kashgar Jiancheng, right?"

"Attack the city?" Zhang Yuan shook his head, "There is no need to attack the city... There are hundreds of thousands of mouths in Kashgar City now. The Shule Oasis has long been reduced to a battlefield and can no longer be sown and harvested. Is there still endless food in Kashgar City?"

"There is indeed no food that cannot be eaten in Kashgar City, but how much food is there in the army of the Great Master? This place is thousands of miles away from the east, and it is difficult to transfer. I don't know how many people will be exhausted."

Zhang Yuan looked at Hamidie and suddenly burst into laughter: "The old man is really confused, forget what is the best thing for us Han people?

We Han people are the best at farming! Since ancient times, we have planted wherever we go! The water conservancy and fertile fields in Shule Oasis were mostly cultivated by military farming soldiers in the Han and Tang dynasties? I won’t hide it from you. Last year, we sowed hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat in Shache Oasis. Now we have harvested it, which is enough for the army to eat for more than a year.

I think there is not so much food in Aslan Khan’s granary, right? Old gentleman, after you go back, you told Aslan Khan that there are two ways in front of him now, one is to surrender; the other is to go out of the city and fight to the death! If you drag it down, there is no way to survive!"
