In the small town of Mahan, Zhao Ziliang's army arrived and captured it yesterday.

Mahan town is located in the southeast of Behedashir Castle, only one day away from Behedashir Castle, it is one of the surrounding towns of Behedashir Castle, in the hot weather, the Ruti Desert is impassable, business travelers can only take the route of Bam Castle, Mahan town is a must. The town is surrounded by a large number of fertile fields, and the main food and vegetables of Behedashir Castle are supplied by the town of Mahan.

The occupation of this place by the Western Qin army is equivalent to cutting off the logistical supply of Behedashir Castle, but because Caliph al-Mansur is in Behedashir Castle, some time ago the castle has stored enough food for the army to eat for a year, so the big food army of Behedashir Castle is not worried about food at all, they are worried about whether the castle wall can withstand the attack and destruction of the Western Qin army, this is not Jerusalem, and the Western Qin army will not have the slightest scruples.

Walking through the streets of the small town of Mahan, which was full of Persian flair, Zhao Ziliang noticed that the Persians here were generally afraid of him and his army generals, but this did not matter to him, he did not expect these people to give him and his army a genuine and warm welcome.

Accompanied by Wang Can, Wei Gao, Nuer and more than a dozen guards, Zhao Ziliang and others came to the door of a restaurant.

The restaurant occupies a large area, and the interior is completely Persian-style, and the drinkers can also watch the dance while eating, and on the stage on the first floor of the restaurant, there are some black-covered girls who are dancing the Persian horse bell dance.

Zhao Ziliang became interested, pointed to the store and said to the people around him: "Let's go, let's go in and sit, eat something, and taste the taste of local food!" ”

Immediately, a few guards opened the way in front, and the people eating in the restaurant were all panicked when they saw so many Western Qin soldiers coming, and they all got up and retreated to the side, lest they cause trouble.

The waiter of the restaurant walked cautiously and bowed to everyone: "Guests, I wonder what you are here for?" ”

The accompanying interpreter translated the waiter's words, and Wei Gao picked up the two guards in front of him and shouted to the waiter at the restaurant: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You are a restaurant here, of course we come here to eat, quickly find us a place and prepare more delicious food! Call your shopkeeper and let him serve him personally, and go! ”

The waiter listened to the translator's words and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, please come with me!" ”

found a few tables for Zhao Ziliang and others, and the waiter immediately went to find the owner of the restaurant, and the other locals who dined sat back in fear and sat back in place, these people were all business travelers from the East and the West, including the Central Plains, the Western Qin people, the big cannibals in other places, the Romans, the Byzantines, and even the Franks, who were stranded here because of the war and could not leave, and the locals stayed at home for fear that the Western Qin people would not dare to come out to do the activities, so there were no locals in this restaurant to eat.

After a while, a fat man with the appearance of a rich Persian man came over with a waiter carrying two large teapots, sugar and a few plates of snacks to Zhao Ziliang and others, the Persians are very particular about drinking tea, they like to use a large teapot to make tea, the tea brewed has a very strong aroma, while eating sugar and snacks, drinking tea is the custom of the Persians.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the villain's name is Sancino, this restaurant is opened by a villain, adults can come to the villain's restaurant, the villain is very happy, and it is also an honor, this tea is shipped from the Oriental Tang Dynasty, of course, it is not as good as the tea that adults usually drink, but this place is remote, I really can't find a good place to entertain adults, please forgive me!"

Zhao Ziliang picked up the teacup and smelled it, and found that although the tea was ordinary, it was brewed in this kind of large teapot, and this teapot had been precipitated over the years, and the tea brewed out really had a different flavor. ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment and stopped. saw Nuer take the teacup in Zhao Ziliang's hand and hand it to the restaurant owner Sanshino: "You drink first!" ”

Sanchino was stunned for a moment, then took the teacup and drank it in one gulp, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Rest assured, the tea, the teacups, and the teapot are all clean, and we, as Allah's people, are very tidy people!" ”

Nur's caution is a must, this is outside, not in the Xiqin Palace, not in the army, here at any time to worry about being plotted, although the tea was drunk by Sancino, but Nur did not let him leave, he needs to wait a little longer, if there is a problem with the tea, it will take time to attack.

Zhao Ziliang took the opportunity to decorate the interior of the restaurant extensively, which was decorated with the Persians' own handicrafts, most of which were woolen and cloth fabrics. The whole restaurant floor is covered with exquisite carpets, it is said that every household in the Persian family has carpets, carpets are a specialty of Persia, Persian carpets are very famous in this era both in the East and in the West, here in Persia, no matter who you go to or eat in a restaurant must take off your shoes, and Zhao Ziliang found that the merchants who eat here have taken off their shoes, but he and his generals and ministers did not take off their shoes.

After a while, Noor saw that the owner of the restaurant, Sanshino, was fine, so he waved him away, and told him to hurry up and bring all the delicious food.

This tea has a different taste in the mouth, and I don't know if it's because of the teapot or the water quality, which is very different from the taste of drinking tea in Xiqin or Datang.

The restaurateur, Sanshino, and his waiter quickly brought food to the table, including roast lamb, minced beef and vegetables, chicken skewers, rice, naan, and soup. Naan is actually a hu cake, to Zhao Ziliang's surprise is that the Persians also eat rice, he thought that the Iranian plateau only produces wheat, but he did not expect to produce rice.

The taste of roast lamb is good, and in this era, the roast lamb of the Great Cannibal is famous all over the world.

Noor still asked the restaurant owner to eat every food first to check whether the food was poisonous, but the restaurant owner Sanshino had no choice but to take a little bit of each food and test it for poison one by one.

Erzhu Xianzhong saw that there was no wine on the table, and immediately slapped the table and was angry at the restaurant owner: "Why is there no wine?" What tavern do you open without wine? Bring the wine! ”

Sanshino, the owner of the restaurant, said with a bitter face: "My lord, the Prophet stipulated that the followers of Allah are not allowed to drink alcohol, so no one dares to drink alcohol in all parts of the Great Food Country. Moreover, the villain is a restaurant, not a tavern."

Erzhu Xianzhong grabbed the placket of the restaurant owner Sanshino's shirt and clenched his fist and said viciously: "What kind of prophet are you, we are not, bring the wine!" ”

"Alright, dedication, let him go!" Zhao Ziliang spoke up, "He doesn't have any wine here, of course he can't take it out!" After speaking, he waved his hand to the restaurant owner Sanxi and asked him to leave.

The food in various places has its own characteristics and tastes, some people like it, some people don't like it, Zhao Ziliang just tasted the taste, and did not have a full meal. For him, who likes heavy food, the barbecue tastes really good, and the rice is cooked very well, while the other foods are not very good.

After the meal, the restaurant owner Sang Xino and the waiter brought a few plates of yellow melon seeds and two unknown fruits, which were after-dinner meals, and Zhao Ziliang tasted a little bit of everything.

Du Fu walked into the restaurant with a few soldiers and came to Zhao Ziliang's side and hugged his fists: "King, General Zhao Hu sent someone to deliver news!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand casually: "Say, what news?" ”

Du Fu originally saw that there were too many people in this restaurant, and it was not appropriate to say that the military aircraft was a major event on this occasion, but the news sent by Zhao Hu was not an important secret, even if it was spread out, it would have little impact on the current war, so he said: "General Zhao Hu led the army from Zaheedan City all the way to pursue the Ziad army into the Luti Desert, and fought with Ziad several times, the Ziad army first lost the logistics baggage, and then was followed and killed by our army all the way, the loss was serious, as of the morning before yesterday, There were originally only twelve people left around Ziade, who originally had 20,000 people, and they appeared in the Shupa Oasis, General Zhao Hu led the army to take a shortcut to the Shupa Oasis in advance and waited for them to throw themselves into the net, Ziad and others knew that they could not escape, and launched a suicidal charge, and were all shot by our army! ”

"Checkout!" Zhao Ziliang got up and walked out as he spoke, and the school attendants got up and left one after another, and the last guard dropped a few gold coins and chased out.

Many of the business travelers who ate in the restaurant could understand Chinese, and just now they heard Du Fu's report clearly, and this news was quickly translated into various languages and spread among the business travelers.

A big food merchant said in shock: "General Ziyad, who has an army of 20,000, was chased and killed by General Zhao Hu of Western Qin in the Luti Desert and wiped out? Oh, Allah, this news is so shocking, so it won't be long before Behedashir Castle will be taken down by soldiers? ”

The merchants of the non-Great Food Country began to be happy when they heard the news, Behedashir Castle is an important transit point on the Silk Road of the Southern Line, and it is also a fortress, once it is broken by the Western Qin army, then the army of the Great Food Country will definitely retreat to the west, because there will be no strong passes and fortresses in a considerable range after that, so the trade route will also become smooth, but this news will not be happy for the Great Food Merchants.

As soon as Zhao Ziliang returned to the camp of the Chinese army's big tent, Liu Shan greeted him and handed over his hand to report: "King, the captured Great Food General Zierz was seriously injured and died late last night!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was quite sorry and sighed: "This Zilz is calm by nature, sophisticated, and has extraordinary military talents, stronger than many generals, and this king is ready to find a way to make him obedient, but I didn't expect him to die of his injuries, it's a pity!" ”

Liu Shan said again: "King, there is one more thing, you may be surprised after hearing it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was about to walk into the big tent, and couldn't help but stop and ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Shan said: "The king still remembers the former governor of Khorasan and Bo Xilin of the Great Food Country, right?" We found this person at the guard post outside, he said that he came to serve the king, after the news came to the camp, Wechen dealt with it accordingly, let people bring him back, this matter is quite strange, Wechen has informed General Wang Can to let Dongchang to investigate! ”

Zhao Ziliang was really shocked by this news, and he had a stunned expression: "And Bo Xilin has come to serve this king?" This is really startling news! Inform the generals and officials of the various ministries to come to the big tent of the Chinese army, this king wants to meet him! ”

Liu Shan arched his hand and said: "No! ”
