Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. The national prestige of Daliao is still there, and the Governor's Palace of Khorasan can still pull tiger skins and pull the banner. So that the flower puller mold is afraid of one or two.

And Khorezm has just experienced civil strife in the country, and there will be a great famine in the coming year.

This can be seen from the signs that many tribes migrated to the river before the onset of winter. In addition, Lee Seung-ji also learned about the farming area in the lower reaches of the Amu River from the information transmitted by the Ministry of Affairs. Because of the constant fighting, the fields are barren and the pastures are deserted.

The herdsmen's stockpiles of grain, cattle and sheep were requisitioned by the officials and rebels several times. Now there are no ordinary people there except for the army.

In such a way, even if Mahamat wants to restore half of Khorasan, he is also powerless.

But prepare for the worst! Li Chengji also did not want to pin his hopes on the inference that Mahamat would not dare to use force against the Governor's Palace of Khorasan in a short time.

I decided to take the initiative! End the battle in Khorasan as quickly as possible. At the same time, taking advantage of the disintegration of Prince Rajad's camp, he demanded more benefits in the land of Khorezm. For example, seizing relatively steep cities and passes. When you meet Khorezm in the future, try to have the upper hand.

There are also excellent civil and military generals on the enemy's side. This has been scarce since the establishment of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan. In line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, Li Chengji had to let his officials wear multiple positions.

Like Zhang Timing, he not only controls the household department, but also concurrently receives the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. The Grand Divanmua Alzimi, the Grand Minister, also led the Criminal Department. Only the position of the Great Diwan of the Household Department is different from the other five departments, and Li Gao is responsible for leading the Apologetics to restore the entire territory of Khorasan, so he does not concurrently serve as other ministers.

Therefore, the competition for talent is also the top priority of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan.

Thinking of this, Li Chengji's confused eyes also became firm.

At this time, the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders, also under the leadership of Li Dali, came to the mansion to discuss matters.

Because of the urgency of the matter, Li Chengji directly told the assassination of Prince Rajad after they met them.

Although I have made a decision in my heart, it is only in the direction. How to implement it still needs the people below to take care of it. and three stinkers, beating Zhuge Liang. After all, there is a limit to the wisdom of one person!

Especially on the battlefield, it is necessary to have a certain number of actual combat generals involved. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe if it is only talked about on paper.

For the threat of Khorezm, the generals present were not unaware.

Therefore, when they heard the news, the generals all frowned and pondered. Despite this expedition against Malu, the soldiers below were all new recruits who had just joined the army. There was no war, so he didn't make an inch. However, the generals above the commander of a thousand were drawn from the old army.

There are not many people, but the experience on the battlefield is no worse than that of the generals who followed Li Qi.

He is also several times more sensitive to changes in the situation than others. After thinking about it for a while, a general suggested: "Why don't you ask Li Da Diwan to lead the army eastward." Before Mahamat quelled the civil strife, conquer more of Khorezm's lands. ”。

This idea coincides with what Lee Seungji thinks. But on such occasions, he also needs to listen to the opinions of other generals. Otherwise, revealing his thoughts will make other dissenting generals dare not speak out.

Sure enough, after the general said his suggestion, there was immediately a military general who refuted the general's suggestion with the statement that 'people are lost in the land, and both people and land are lost'. It is also the border of Khorezm, although it looks like a big mess.

But in fact, the princes of various places were not greatly affected. The main battlefields are also concentrated in the hinterland of Khorezm, the land of ointment in the lower reaches of the Amu River.

Although it was a good place, the terrain was flat, and there were no high mountains to stop the troops of Khorezm. And after the war, even if the governor's palace is taken, it will take some time to restore the local people's livelihood.

If they marched to the homeland of Persia, those vassal states would not obediently cede their territory. And even if they were subdued, Mahamat's revival of Khorezm's prestige in the future would inevitably trigger their rebellion against the Governor's Palace.

Therefore, the best strategy at present is to restore the whole territory of Khorasan as soon as possible. and cut off the land passage between Khorezm and the Western Qarakhanid and Ghor states to prevent a tandem with it, which would be detrimental to the governor's palace.

If possible, march to the kingdom of Gur. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Gur Kingdom, he took the Gur Mountains near Bancheng County and Yeli County.

It is the birthplace of the Gur people, and if you take it, the huge Gur Empire is equivalent to a rootless Ping. And the local terrain is blocked, so it can be attacked and defended. It will be of great benefit to the pacification of the entire territory of the Gur Kingdom in the future.

This suggestion also secretly coincides with Li Chengji's envisioned development plan. Originally, his plan was to take advantage of the civil strife in Gur to slowly capture the entire territory of Gur.

And he's not in a hurry!

Because when there are no external enemies, the major forces of the Gur Kingdom can give full play to their potential and try their best to fight inward. In this way, the strength of the forces of all parties will gradually weaken.

The people in the territory were even more disgusted with the rule of the Gur people.

Although the people's hearts are in the power of the Gur state, it is often overlooked. But sometimes, we can't underestimate the people's will. Especially in troubled times, the people's hearts that seem to be on the table can have unexpected effects.

Lee Seung-ji has not been paying attention to the situation in Gur for a day or two! It is known that the control of many cities has been transferred from the hands of the Gur people to the hands of the locals. Moreover, the people have been distracted by years of war, and the pastures and fields are only barren grass, but there are no cattle, sheep and grain.

If you show enough strength, end the chaos. It is impossible to say that these local forces will reduce their resistance because of the people's determination.

But he still didn't speak. Instead, he sat at the top and waited for the advice of the other generals.

It took more than half an hour for the results to be roughly discussed. That is, before spring comes, we must do everything possible to end the war in Khorasan.

Because this coincides with the time when Mahamat ended the civil strife in Khorezm, which everyone speculated. Even then, Mahamat did not end the civil strife. The Governor's Palace, too, can do more to deal with the turbulent situation in Khorezm.

Thus maximizing it to the benefit of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan.

Although it can be adversely affected by wind and snow, it can have a surprise effect on the winter march. Because the enemy army would not have thought that the cathars would choose to attack the city at this time.

However, the premise is that there must be a period of time when there will be no heavy snowfall. Indeed, it will not snowfall for many days in a row. This is possible in the winter. After all, the cold wave is a wave after wave of south, and it will not always stay in one place.

However, it is difficult to accurately predict the time period between cold spells.

Li Chengji had no choice but to ask Xiaozi for help.
