Chapter 169: The army enters the city
Even during the siege of Puhua, the Puritans held off the offensive of Khorezm's army. But he still thought that the Puritans could not compare with the army of Khorezm.
It's just that right now, he doesn't dare to be so absolute.
In the end, it is difficult to ignore this military appearance.
Noticing Mahama's expression, Li Chengji was also a little proud in his heart.
When establishing the Puritans, he made Li magnanimous, paying special attention to military discipline. Even in terms of combat effectiveness, it may be greatly reduced. Orders and prohibitions must also be enforced.
Later, Li was atmospheric, and he really lived up to his entrustment. Trained a horse bandit into a strong army that could be compared to the regular army.
Of course, the real catty two, Li Chengji knows.
He was not yet arrogant enough to think that an army that had never experienced the rigor of a real war could be proud of the regular army that had been reborn from the ashes.
But it's still okay to take it out and pretend to scare people.
Like now, a large number of military generals who are neatly dressed and dressed in Khorezm's standard black armor are a little commotional. Originally, they were outside Amu City, ready to give the cathars who came from afar a dismount.
But in the current situation, it seems that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.
Just when the two armies faced each other, one looked very energetic and not very old. The young man, who was obviously dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, rushed to the front of the apologists and said, "Dare to ask if your army can be an apologetic?" ”。
Li Wei immediately signaled to the guards on the side, and replied: "It should be!"
Soon, the opposing positions were separated from them. A general dressed in gold armor with a pattern engraved on it. led a few lieutenants who also had a lot of status, and walked out of it.
Seeing the banner floating in his camp, Li Chengji said loudly: "Sylvad! ”。
Mahamat showed a burst of joy on his face, and said with some emotion: "It's him here!" ”。 The Silvard family is one of Khorezm's oldest families. Although his ancestors were born as slaves, his ancestors fought for Khorezm in Persia and made great achievements.
So after receiving the award, he became the longest-serving governor of Persia.
Today, his heirs are still guarding the land of Persia.
When it comes to loyalty, the Silvard family is also unquestionable. When his predecessor, Sultan Takash, succeeded to the throne, his brother Sultan Shah competed for the throne.
At first, Takash lost ground and faced life and death in danger. But the Silvard family, still in such a difficult situation, chose to help Takash be restored.
Later, thanks to the help of Da Liao, he finally regained the position of sultan.
As a result, the status of the Silvard family has also risen in Khorezm.
So when he saw him coming, Mahamat felt at ease.
Li Chengji knew that it was Silvard who was waiting here, and he also knew the details of the Silvard family in advance. So it's not surprising.
It was also before leaving Puhua that Li Chengji helped Mahamat and contacted Silvad. This was agreed upon by Turkhan Khotun!
Maybe you know the righteousness!
Knowing that Mahamat was still alive, he changed his mind about supporting Rajad as the new king. And privately, he informed Silvard to go to the city of Amu to welcome the king.
Mahamat also knew the news, and his heart was very pleased.
After all, at a time like this, neither Kedun nor Rajad believed in Mahamat. And only by letting the Silvard family, who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, escort him back to China, can he be truly reassured.
While he was thinking about this, Ali Silvard and the others had already come to Che Luan under the guidance of Li Gao. After seeing Mahama with an excited face, he immediately said with a look on his face: "The old minister is late, please surrender!" ”。
The lieutenants behind him also leaned down and followed to plead guilty.
In front of so many apologists, Li Chengji was not afraid of what Mahamat had in mind. So generously let Silvard and them in, so that they could be reassured.
lest there be many obstacles in the life of the mother city when receiving it.
Mahama, who had already stood up, immediately got out of the car. When he came to General Ali Silvad, he put his hands on his hands and said in a somewhat grateful tone: "General Ali is too worried!" ”。
If you listen carefully, you can still detect a little choking.
This gesture moved Ali Silvard and others greatly. One by one, they asked for their guilt to express their guilt towards Mahamat.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, this gesture of coming and going. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a good master and servant. People who don't know are really deceived.
Only Lee Seung-ji knew that without Turhankhotun's permission, Ali Silvard would never have come.
This information was obtained from Khorezm by the newly established Affairs Division. In order to know the news faster, learn the secrets that others don't know. Li Chengji deliberately set up a affairs department and stepped up efforts to send spies to Khorezm, Daliao, Eastern and Western Karakhanis, and even Mongolia, Western Xia, and other countries.
The previous Puritans were all inherited by the Division. Those spies thus became the first agents of the Division.
That's why it worked in such a short period of time.
The Ali Silvard family, for example, has in fact secretly taken refuge in Turhankedun. In order to prevent Rajad from getting in the way, Ali Silvard was told to obey Mahamat's instructions.
It can be seen that this Turhan Kedun is not a simple harem woman.
Li Chengji's jealousy of him has also deepened a little invisibly.
After Mahamat and Ali Silvard and the others had a warm and warm conversation, Li Chengji really couldn't stand them being too selfless, so he motioned to Li Gao to interject: "General Ali! Now that the Governor has handed the Sultan into the hands of the general, this Mother City?! ”。
Although I haven't finished speaking, as long as I am not stupid, I can understand the meaning.
Ali Silvard was also instructed to respond: "The defenders of the city of Amu have withdrawn completely. If Governor Lee is in a hurry, the general can tell him a thing or two. ”。 Li Chengji's name has spread along the boundaries of the Western Regions with the enthronement of the Governor of Khorasan in the Great Liao.
Although the first thing that most people think of is Lee Seung-ji's father, Li Shichang! But the impact is still real.
So Ali Silvard also knows the name of Lee Seungji.
So close, Lee Seungji also heard Ali Silvad's words. He chuckled and said, "General Ali doesn't need to pass it on!" ”。
Then he turned his face away and said to Li Qi: "Li Diwan." Immediately you will march into the city with two thousand cathars. ”。
The reason why there are so few is mainly because of the fear of ambushes.
In the end, the heart of defense is indispensable!
After receiving the order, Li Gao only gave a few explanations, and quickly led his troops into the city. The army of Khorezm who let go of the official road watched silently. But it can be clearly felt that there is no goodness in their eyes.
