Tang Feng stared disappointedly at the Lama Pagoda in front of him, and Liang Yuan smiled, "How about it, you are dumbfounded, you haven't found a single word, as far as I know, in the early days of the Mongols, the Basiba language had not yet been created, The culture is very underdeveloped, so the early documents of the Mongol Empire are extremely scarce, and now we study the history of the early Mongol Empire, mostly based on the records of other ethnic groups at the same time, how about it, am I right!"

"Well, I don't see that you have read a lot of books recently!" Tang Feng smiled wryly.

"That's right, you think I'm just idle. Miss Ben has been reading a lot recently. You have deduced that the entire town of Qianhu was built in the early days of the Mongol Empire, so I think this tower was also built in that period, and It was difficult to leave any written materials at that time." Liang Yuan got excited and said clearly, and Tang Feng had to agree with Liang Yuan's point of view.

Han Jiang smiled and patted Tang Feng, "Don't look down on our Miss Liang from now on, kid." Saying that, Han Jiang climbed up to the southeast corner of the collapsed Lama Tower.

"How dare I look down on her, I basically put her on high."

"I haven't finished yet. Therefore, you said that when the city was broken, the officials in the city burned all the documents. This conclusion cannot be established." Liang Yuan talked eloquently.

"Then what do you think?" Tang Feng asked seriously.

"At that time, there were no documents at all, so we can't see those documents now." Liang Yuan said.

"Then how to explain the stone tablet in Basiba script on the Gobi Desert outside the city?" Tang Feng asked.

"The Basiba script was created by Kublai Khan who proclaimed himself emperor and asked the national teacher Basiba after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, so I speculate that the stone tablet on the Gobi Desert was erected by the Yuan Dynasty government after the city of Qianhu was slaughtered. "

Liang Yuan's analysis was so logical that Tang Feng couldn't help but not believe it, but Tang Feng was quite annoyed at being defeated by this girl's skirt, and just about to fight back, Han Jiangweng's voice suddenly came, "Stop arguing, you two, it seems There is something."

In a word, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were awakened, and they realized that Han Jiang had almost stuck most of his body into the collapsed belly of the Lama Tower.Tang Feng hurriedly asked: "What did you find?"

"Damn it, you pull me out first." Han Jiang buried his head in the Lama Tower and shouted in a low voice.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan worked hard together, and after 2 minutes, they finally pulled out the disheveled Han Jiang. Han Jiang kept shaking his head and spitting the sand in his mouth, "Bah! Bah!...This... Bah! "

"Tell me, what exactly did you find?" Tang Feng urged.

"Drool!" Han Jiang shouted.

Liang Yuan hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water, Han Jiang rinsed his mouth, and then gasped and said, "The situation is not good!"

"how……"

"I just wanted to look inside. There is a hole in the clinker, which is quite deep, so I got deeper and deeper." Han Jiang said while brushing the dust off his head and body.

"What does this mean?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"I observed the hole, and it was obvious that someone dug it out, and it should have been dug out in the past few years." Han Jiang said with an emphasis.

"Oh! In recent years?" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were shocked.

"Yes, look at the lama pagoda, and the collapsed places are covered with thick yellow sand, but there is no inside the cave. Judging from the excavated cave walls, it is mostly excavated by modern tools, so I conclude The hole in the Lama Pagoda was dug in recent years, even recently." Han Jiang judged based on years of experience.

"Could it be our old friends?" Tang Feng murmured thoughtfully.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Of course, it may also be tomb robbers. In recent years, tomb robbers have focused on Buddhist pagodas in remote areas, because most of the ancient Buddhist pagodas contain scriptures, precious instruments, relics and other cultural relics. Xixia in Helan Mountain The pagoda was once blown up by the tomb robbers with explosives." Although Tang Feng knew that he would inevitably have to fight with their old friends for this trip, he was still unwilling to encounter them so early.

"Of course, besides the bad discovery just now, I have another good discovery." Han Jiang suddenly showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Oh! Good discovery, what is it?" Tang Feng stared at Han Jiang impatiently.

Han Jiang calmly came to the cave where the Lama Pagoda collapsed, stretched out his right arm, and groped in the cave for a while. Suddenly, like a magic trick, Han Jiang magically took out a yellow and worn-out paper.

Tang Feng looked at the paper in Han Jiang's hands in surprise, and was stunned for a long time. In the end, Liang Yuan couldn't wait to take the paper, slowly unfolded it, and brushed off the dust. It turned out that there were Chinese characters on it, and Tang Feng read it out word by word. The above statement:
Supervising the construction of Qianhu Town

In the third year of Wokuotai Khan, Yu Zhongshu ordered Yelu Chucai to supervise the construction of Qianhu Town under the order of the Great Khan to prepare for the remnants of Xixia.I think I have studied a lot since I was a child, including classics, literature, art of war, astronomy, geography, laws, magic numbers, divination, and even construction techniques. When I met Xian Khan, it was like old friends at first sight, and I hated seeing each other later. Khan treated him like a guest of honor, so I gave Xian Khan a drive.

In the 21st year of Genghis Khan, Yu followed Xian Khan to attack Xixia. Xian Khan fell off his horse in the valley. , Gobi, exhausted and exhausted, one day, I saw an oasis in the vast sea, and galloped into it. world.

The city is full of Dangxiang people. I pretended to be a Khitan tribe. I was pursued by the Mongols and entered the city by mistake. The princes in the city treated me very well and allowed me to walk around the city. I visited this city in three days and saw that this place is rich in products and people. .However, the people here are all brave and aggressive, not inferior to Mongolia, and the city defenses are also exceptionally strong. The streets and alleys are winding, like a maze, almost lost.

Three days later, I was taken out with blindfolded, faded away, and was already in the desert.After returning to the camp, I talked with the first Khan about the things in the vast sea. Knowing the big city, where can the detectives find it?I am also puzzled.

Afterwards, the first Khan took Xixia directly, and the party members of the big city mobilized and harassed our army's rear. The first Khan believed my words, so he ordered a thousand households to station troops on the main roads of the vast sea, and built a city to resist the remnants of Xixia. His party, Xiang Yong, was extremely brave, and repeatedly endangered the rear of the army. Now that Khan ascended the throne, he ordered me to build a strong city here. Therefore, I built this city in the shape of a big city in the vast sea. Although it was a waste of money and food, it was only as good as the big city in the vast sea Twelve out of ten is a pity.

Okuotai Khan's three-year book made by Yelu Chucai himself
After reading the sentences on the paper, Tang Feng was stunned, "I never thought that this city was designed and built by Yelu Chucai."

"Who is Yelu Chucai? I seem to have heard of it somewhere?" Liang Yuan looked at Tang Feng with bright eyes.

"Didn't you read a lot recently? Why, you don't even know about Yelu Chucai?" Tang Feng laughed.

"I only know that the emperors of the Liao Dynasty were all named Yelu. I don't know what's wrong. Ask Captain Han, does he know?" Liang Yuan turned to Han Jiang.

Han Jiang looked innocent, "I'm not doing historical research, how would I know? You two are bickering, don't get me involved!"

"Yelü Chucai was a famous minister who assisted Genghis Khan and Ogotai Khan during the Mongolian Empire. He is a Khitan, a descendant of the Liao Dynasty royal family..."

"Well, I remember correctly!" Liang Yuan interjected.

"Don't interrupt me, let me continue. Yelu Chucai, as he reviewed himself in the first paragraph of this article, has studied a lot since he was a child, including classics, literature, art of war, astronomy, geography, laws, and arithmetic. He knows everything about medicine and divination, and he can be called a young genius, but he was born in troubled times, and he was an official in the Jin Dynasty for the first time. It was today in Beijing that Yelu Chucai met Genghis Khan for the first time, and the two hit it off and hated each other, Yelu Chucai became an important counselor and civil servant under Genghis Khan's tent." Tang Feng introduced Yelu Chucai's experience .

Han Jiang interrupted impatiently, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Yes! I was very surprised when I saw this scroll. This is not a Buddhist scripture. It records a period of history, but somehow it was put in this Lama Pagoda? What surprised me even more was that this scroll turned out to be It was written by Yelu Chucai himself. The paper alone is an important cultural relic. Of course, what surprised me the most is the things recorded on the paper. Hu Town was designed and supervised by Yelu Chucai, no wonder this town is so magical and strong." Tang Feng said and looked up at the ancient town with a history of more than 700 years.

"The third year of Wokuotai Khan is the day when Qianhu Town was built? What year is this?" Liang Yuan asked.

"From the very beginning of the article, it was stated clearly, 'Wokuotai Khan three years, Yu Zhongshu ordered Yelu Chucai to be ordered by the Khan to supervise the construction of Qianhu Town to prepare for the remnants of Xixia.' Time, Wokuotai Khan Three years, this..." Tang Feng thought for a while, "This should be 1231 AD. Yelu Chucai's official position at that time was Zhongshuling. He was ordered by the Great Khan, that is, Okuotai Khan, to build the For Qianhu Town, the most important thing is the last sentence, 'to prepare for the remnants of Xixia'. This sentence proves our previous judgment. The purpose of the Mongols' ambush circles in Qianhu Town and Langwa is to prevent The Xixia people, to be precise, are to guard against those Hanhai Micheng party members who still insist on resisting after Xixia has perished."

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan nodded frequently, and Tang Feng continued, "What is recorded in the next few paragraphs is a somewhat bizarre historical story, but I believe this is the truth, because many historical facts involved in this story are recorded in countless historical books. For example, in the 21st year of Genghis Khan, Yu Suixian Khan attacked Xixia, Xian Khan fell off his horse in the valley, the whole army was terrified, and was attacked by Xixia again, Yu Sui was separated from Xian Khan and the generals, 'This is consistent with the records in many historical books. This conquest of Xixia was the battle of Mongolia's destruction of Xixia. According to historical records, Genghis Khan accidentally fell off his horse and was injured when he passed through a valley across Xixia from Mongolia. Because of this injury and Genghis Khan’s age, although Genghis Khan destroyed Xixia, he himself died in Xixia. Looking at Yelu Chucai’s records, he should have been there when Genghis Khan fell from his horse. , the whole army was horrified, and then they were attacked by the party members, causing him to be separated from the large army. This record reminds me of a lot..."

"Have you ever thought that Genghis Khan's downfall was related to the party members' surprise attack?" Han Jiang interjected.

Tang Feng nodded, "That's right, most of the current historical records come from the book "Secret History of Mongolia". This book was written by the Mongolians and has been taboo since ancient times. During the last conquest of Xixia, he accidentally fell from his horse. Based on the records of Yelu Chucai, I boldly speculate that Genghis Khan’s fall from the horse this time may have been ambushed by Xixia. Yelu Chucai’s records should be closer to the truth and more detailed, because his article After it is written, it will be sealed in the tower, and there is no need to hide it for the venerable, then, based on the known situation, we can draw an even more astonishing conclusion by further speculation, who is the party member who attacked Genghis Khan's army?"

Han Jiang's eyes lit up, "You mean that the party members of Hanhai Micheng attacked Genghis Khan's army?!"

"That's right. I read the history books before. When Genghis Khan defeated Xixia, Xixia had gone through many years of war and had no ability to resist. I think at this time they still have the ability to sneak attack Genghis Khan's army, and the only one who injured Genghis Khan is Hanhai Micheng." Party member." Tang Feng deduced.

Han Jiang nodded, "That's right, it can only be like this."

"Looking at the following, after Yelu Chucai and his team were separated, he walked through valleys, deserts, and Gobi alone. When he was exhausted and exhausted, one day, he saw an oasis in the vast sea. When I was horrified, I suddenly saw a big city with palaces connected to each other, and the sound of Sanskrit was wafting, magnificent and unreal." Although this record is bizarre, it is very important to us. Think about it, what Yelu Chucai called "Dangxiang City" , What is the 'Big Sea City'?"

"It's the 'Han Hai Mi City' mentioned on the jade screen!" Liang Yuan exclaimed.

"I think the big city that Yelu Chucai saw in the vast sea of ​​sand can only be Hanhai Mi City. According to his records, it further proves what we already know. Hanhai Mi City is located in a large oasis. Yelu Chucai Galloping into the oasis, his feeling is 'as if it's been a lifetime' and 'horrified', what kind of oasis is this that makes the well-informed Yelu Chucai feel 'horrified'? Feel 'as if it's been a lifetime'?"

"Death oasis!" Han Jiang suddenly shouted.

"Death oasis?" Tang Feng was startled.

"Did you forget what Stephen said before he died?" Han Jiang reminded.

Tang Feng nodded, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but Yelu Chucai didn't feel death. The 'oasis of death' is just what Ma Changguo said. Yelu Chucai saw the 'big city' right after he was horrified, and said, 'Palace The temples are connected, the Sanskrit sounds are lingering, the magnificence is not like the world, 'I still can't understand this sentence, how can there be temples in the city in the desert? How can there be Sanskrit sounds? So that the well-informed Yelu Chucai exclaimed, "The magnificence is not like the world'! What kind of magical city is this? I can't imagine it."

"Forget it, I think the ancients liked to brag when they wrote articles! It's exaggerated! For example, "Marco Polo's Travel Notes", it said that Chinese houses are made of gold and silver. Perhaps at that time when writing articles, they liked to make the bigger the better, and this old man Chucai was probably exaggerating deliberately to make Genghis Khan believe his words!" Han Jiang shook his head, unwilling to believe Yelu Chucai's description.

Tang Feng thought for a moment, and said to Han Jiang: "It's entirely possible, you can even say that he had hallucinations, and what he saw was a mirage, but below he described the scene in the 'Big City' in detail, the third paragraph, Yelu Chucai first affirmed that there were Dangxiang people in the city, which further confirmed our inference, and then said that he lied to the Dangxiang people that he was chased and killed by the Mongolian army, lost his way, and fled here. Therefore, the Dangxiang people in the city I believed him, treated him very well, and allowed him to move freely in the city. Yelu Chucai lived in the city for three days. According to him, he traveled all over the city and described the wealth here, but he especially It is mentioned that the Dangxiang people here are brave and aggressive, no worse than the Mongols."

"This can explain why after the demise of Xixia, the party members in Hanhai Micheng still insisted on fighting for decades and inflicted heavy losses on the Mongolian army." Liang Yuan interrupted Tang Feng's words.

"I think it's not enough just to be brave and aggressive!" Tang Feng said.

"Then why do you think the party members persisted for decades, and even bloodbathed Qianhu Town?" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Feng shook his head, "I don't know yet, maybe it's a historical mystery that can never be solved. At the end of the third paragraph, Yelu Chucai was very impressed with the defense and design of this big city, and even felt a little overwhelmed by the Great Khan's capture of the city." Anxiety, "The firmness is unusual, the streets and alleys are twists and turns, like a maze, almost lost." These few words, what do you think of?"

"Isn't that what you're talking about here?" Han Jiang said with a smile.
