Although Khotan is a famous jade town, jade cannot be eaten as food. At this moment, the city of Khotan has been out of food for ten days, and most of the food can be eaten have been eaten up. Rashid Taiji was in a state of anxiety and despair at this time. He looked at Huang Dacan directly and asked in a hoarse voice: "Envoy Huang, will your country's reinforcements come?"

Rashid probably asked Huang Dacan this question dozens of times. From the beginning of the year to the present, every time Huang Dacan told him confidently that the Ming army would come and let him hold on for a while. However, after half a year has passed, the Ming army still has not been waiting to save the suffering and the Ming army, who was called the god of war, did not appear at all.

Huang Dacan sat opposite Rashid, wearing a long-defeated Ming official robe, with a yellow complexion, looking skinny and bony, his body swayed slightly, so weak that he seemed to be unable to sit steadily, but he replied in a firm tone: "I'll come, Your Highness Taiji wait a little longer."

"How long will it take?" Rashid asked with a sarcastic sarcastic question.

Huang Dacan was silent. He didn't know how long he would have to wait. At the beginning, he estimated that the court would send troops to him at most five months, but it was almost ten months since Guo Heizi and Song Dayan left.

Looking at the silent Huang Dacan, the only hope in Rashid's eyes gradually disappeared, and he silently picked up a bowl of cold water and took a sip.

At this time, a soldier walked in quickly with joy, approached Rashid Taiji's ear and whispered a few times. The latter immediately stood up with excitement?

"Your Highness Taiji, what happened?" Huang Dacan couldn't help asking.

"No... nothing big. Huang's messenger will go back to his residence to rest. I am temporarily missing." Rashid's face was obviously a little unnatural, so he left Huang Dacan and left in a hurry.

Huang Dacan frowned, and a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Let’s talk about Rashid’s departure and rushed to the top of the city. When a man with a general looked like a man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, “I’ve seen His Highness Taiji.”

Rashid nodded and said anxiously: "Aishan, where is the edict of my father Khan?"

Aishan is a capable general under Rashid, and he has always been responsible for commanding the city.

I saw Ai Shan respectfully handing a book of edict to Rashid: "Here, it was shot from the bottom of the city just now, and it was said to be the handwritten edict of the Khan. I don't know whether it is true or false."

Rashid hurriedly opened the edict and immediately said excitedly: "That's right? It's indeed the handwriting of Father Khan."

Ai Shan and other military officers were excited when they heard this. They approached with hope, regardless of whether they could recognize the words or not. They looked at the edict.

Rashid couldn't wait to read the edict? Finally, his hands trembled slightly, but Ai Shan and others looked complicated. They were mixed with joy and sorrow.

"Your Highness Taiji, what did the Khan say in the edict?" an illiterate military officer couldn't help asking.

Rashid's expression changed? He looked at it carefully again? He confirmed that the handwriting and seal were fine. He couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. After hesitating for a moment, he still said the content of the edict in detail.

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but look at each other. However, most of them felt relieved. They looked at Rashid with their eyes in unison, with a hint of expectation, because according to the edict, as long as Rashid agreed to open the city and surrender and hand over the envoy of the Ming Kingdom? No one had to die, and His Highness Taiji didn't have to die? He was just deprived of the qualification to inherit the Khan throne, which was undoubtedly a good result for everyone to be happy.

Looking at the eyes of the generals, Rashid's heart couldn't help but chill. He looked at Aishan and said, "Aishan? What do you think?"

Ai Shan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... follow His Highness Taiji's decision."

"Your Highness Taiji? We have been waiting for nine months? The Ming army did not save us, so we would definitely not come. Now that the city has been cut off for many days, the brothers are so hungry that they eat dirt. In a few days, even if the enemy does not need to take action, we will all starve to death. Why not surrender as the Khan wishes?" said a military official.

"Yes, it's better to surrender than to starve to death. Khan always keeps his word, so he will definitely not let us down."

Rashid held the edict, feeling tangled and could not make a decision for a moment.

"His Highness Taiji is sure that this edict was made by the Khan?" Ai Shan couldn't help asking.

Rashid nodded: "It is undoubtedly the handwriting of Father Khan."

"Is it possible that Hasmu forced Da Khan to write it?" Ai Shan asked again.

"I don't know!" Rashid shook his head in a complicated mood, but he hoped that it was written by his father Khan voluntarily, because it shows that his father Khan was not under Hasmu's control, so he could ensure his life without worries after surrendering. However, if this edict was written by Hasmu's coercion, then it was obviously a scam. He might have to die if he surrendered from the city.

"Let me think about it again." Rashid hesitated for a while, and it was really difficult to make a decision for a moment. He threw down a sentence and turned around and left.

So, a group of disappointed generals surrounded Aishan in the middle, and persuaded him with words and words.

"General Ai, since the edict is indeed the handwriting of the Khan, his subordinates think it should be credible."

"Yes, we will starve to death in a few days anyway, so it's better to have a gamble."

"The Ming army is impossible to come. I can't count on it. What's wrong with handing over the envoys of the Ming Kingdom for our brothers' lives? Taiji has been regarded as a polite and polite person to the envoys of the Ming Kingdom and the Wang family."

"General Ai, you should be in trouble, and you will suffer the chaos. Since Your Highness Taiji cannot make up his mind, let's help him and arrest the envoy Huang and Wang first."

Although these generals were Rashid's subordinates, they were now so hungry that their chests were pressed against the back. Their morale and will have already been extremely low. When they saw that they had a chance to survive, they no longer care whether this was a trap or not. They jumped first. Anyway, even if they didn't jump, they would not be able to survive for a few days. Moreover, even if they were a trap, they would not necessarily die if they jumped.

Finally, under the persuasion of the crowd, Ai Shan was shaken and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's take a gamble. Paletahong, you are responsible for catching Wang everyone, but don't hurt this beautiful lady and get disabled.

Aheqihong, if you take someone to arrest the envoy of Huang, you will live. If his soldiers dare to resist, they will kill them in a hurry."

"Get orders!" The two military officers Paletahong and Aheqihong immediately stood up and each led a team of people to leave.
