"Squeak... Squeak... Lee Seung-ji stayed in the bathhouse with ice cubes, his whole body soaked in the cold pool, and he was a little reluctant to move.

"Governor Qiqi, the Great Diwan of the Ministry of War asks to see you." , a guard walked in and announced. Li Chengji immediately waved his hand, and Mu Erguo, who was holding a fruit bowl on the side, went out to meet him.

Aina, who was bathing with Li Chengji, immediately led a group of waiters to move to the side room next to her.

"Governor! Ber-uddin has a letter! Li Wei bowed and said loudly.

"Oh? Has he already done it? Li Chengji asked rhetorically.

Li Gao nodded, and the situation in the territory of Gur was described in detail for a while.

Ever since receiving the promise of a military backing from Khorasan, Beruddin Shamu has been preparing for war. Finally, a week after the beginning of summer, that is, five days ago, the guards who guarded the Gul Pass were bought. Thus leading the army into the Gur Mountains.

Although they were a little caught off guard for a while, the Gur people still relied on their mountainous geography to compete with the men and horses of Beluddin Shamu. And in the source of the Hari River, in the small town called Lale, a great war.

Although the coalition of the Gur tribes was eventually defeated, the men and horses of Beruddin Shamu were also greatly damaged. He rested on the banks of the Hari River, seventy miles east of Fislogu, for another battle.

"Then Bel-U-ddin means that we should send troops?" Hearing this, Li Chengji asked.

Li Wei shook his head and responded; "Ber-Uddin means that we should make a gesture of sending troops to contain the forces of the Gur."

"Heh... He's very good at planning. We helped him contain his troops, and he got the benefits. This cheap deal is done when we are fools and do not succeed? Li Chengji said impatiently.

He also knew that he was wrong, so he promised. After the capture of Fislogu, the treasure of the city will be distributed among seventy percent of Khorasan. ", Li added the atmosphere.

When Li Chengji heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. Because this promise sounds beautiful, but there are also big loopholes in it. After all, after Fislogu was defeated, they naturally had the final say on how much treasure there was in the city.

Seventy percent given to Khorasan is also seventy percent after layers of exploitation.

In this regard, Lee Seungji scoffed. He said coldly: "It seems that Bel Uddin still needs to remember a little longer!" Speaking of which, he ordered someone to announce Li Dali of the Affairs Department.

"Governor!" , Li Dali's department is a very important institution. Although there are separate office locations outside the palace, there are also office offices in the palace. Li Dali stayed in the palace on weekdays, handling official business and facilitating Li Chengji's summons.

Especially at the moment, Li Chengji is extremely concerned about the affairs in Gur, so Li Dali does not dare to run around at will.

After a salute, Li Chengji didn't talk nonsense, and said loudly: "You ordered the stronghold over there in Fislogu to send more information about Ber-Uddin's army to the Gur people." Send some more news to Gizzini's guards, saying that Ber-uddin attacked the alliance of the Gur tribes, and the rear was empty and suffered a great defeat. Presumably, Gicini's side knows how to act. ”。

The reason why the Gur people reacted so quickly and launched a counterattack before was the result of the information sent to them by the Ministry of Affairs. Otherwise, with the blind intelligence-gathering ability of the Gurs, how can they know how many men and horses there are and where they marched.

After Li Dali heard this, he immediately retreated.

Li Wei also saw what Li Chengji meant, so he also excused himself to retire.

It was noon and the temperature was very high. Li Chengji persuaded him to stay and cool off together. Li Gao couldn't refuse, so he took off his clothes, exposed his tendons and flesh, and soaked in the cold pool.

The body, which was still a little dry and hot, instantly cooled down.

Ten days later, new news came from Gul. However, it was Bel Uddin who was ambushed by the alliance of the Ghor tribes and driven back to Lale. At the same time, Gicini's guards also moved, attacked Kepoli (Kabul), and were launching a siege battle.

Kobuli is located south of the New Kush Mountains, in the Koburi Valley. The four seasons are distinct, and precipitation is scarce. Since ancient times, it has been the hub of Central Asia's access to the Indian subcontinent. As a result, it has always been a commercial and military center.

Because it was too close to Gizzini's territory, it was often threatened. For safety reasons, Ber-udin set up the line at a relatively distant distance of eight meters.

At present, the territory of Behaudin is only eight meters and a small area of Kebuli! If you lose even the mile, then the eight meters are in jeopardy.

Therefore, in any case, Behaudin must be saved.

This is also the fundamental reason why he promised Li Chengji to cede the land and join forces with him.

After all, he has no way back! Rather than sit back and wait to be swallowed up by other forces. It is better to promise Li Chengji to attack the other two forces.

Even if he knew in his heart that cooperating with Khorasan, represented by Lee Seungji, was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. But in the absence of any choice, he can only gamble.

It was precisely because he expected that he had no way to retreat, that Li Chengji had the courage to support him. and deliberately sent a message to the alliance of the Gur tribes and the forces of Jizeni. So that Khorasan fished in troubled waters and served them in a pot.

This is a plan jointly negotiated by the United Front Work Department and the General Staff Department under the guidance of Li Chengji. First of all, the joint troops were used as bait to make Behaudin fooled. Then the three sides of the scuffle, Khorasan suddenly sent troops to pacify.

In the end, from the very beginning, Li Chengji never thought of dividing the land of Gul with people equally. All conditions are also tricks to deceive people.

After all, the Mongols in the north have become more and more powerful. The chaos in Daliao won't last long. Therefore, Li Chengji must solve the local forces in the land of Gur in the shortest possible time and bring them into the jurisdiction of Khorasan.

Then seek the land of faith, and open up the mouth of the Arabian Sea. and attack east to gain access to the rich Indian subcontinent.

I believe that under the majesty of such autumn winds sweeping away the fallen leaves, the wall grasses in the land of Persia should also know what to choose.

At this time, there is basically no threat to the south. Li Chengji was also able to focus too much energy on the north, dealing with the mess left by the Great Liao, and dealing with the rise of the Mongols.

With the Mongol attack on gold, that is, 1211 as the deadline, Li Chengji left himself a year and a half at most. Solve the lands of Gul, Tianzhu and Persia and unite the local forces. and looting the wealth and resources of the region in order to strengthen Khorasan's national power. After plundering the Central Plains, the Mongols had greatly increased in strength.

Originally, Li Chengji was also unconfident! However, the success of the artillery test firing greatly increased his confidence. Therefore, he personally made a decision to let the General Staff Department and the United Front Work Department work together to complete this seemingly crazy plan.
