If it weren't for the Overseers being behind the army, they slaughtered dozens of deserters and suppressed the soldiers' courage.

If you can't say it, the victory and defeat will have to be reversed.

Therefore, Li Chengji will not know how to pretend to understand and command indiscriminately. only hung on his name, but in fact, he listened to Li Gao's advice. Except for some times when you can't pay attention to it, you will think deeply and listen to everyone's opinions.

This is the case now.

"According to the two counselors, General Timur must have a plan to break the enemy, right?" , Ali Bura smiled lightly and asked in a gentle tone.

But the meaning of the words is a bit persecutive.

Seeing that Jalah and the others seemed to be questioned, Musayab hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "What does Counselor Ali mean by this? Could it be that you suspect that General Timur is talking nonsense? ”。

"Nope! No! No! General Musayyab misunderstood what I meant---", Ali Bura quickly shook his head and explained.

"That's it! Now it's time to negotiate a plan to break the enemy! If you don't have anything to do with it, you won't have to say any more. Seeing that everyone was talking more and more, Li Qi immediately stopped him.

Li Chengji sat on the top with a calm expression, watching everyone arguing, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart. Originally, he thought that as long as the superior was strategizing enough, the factional strife would be eliminated. But after he really became a superior, he knew that such a thing as a faction was really difficult to prohibit.

Whether it is the secret gap between Al Zimi and Zhang Timing, or the secret contest between the old school and the new school in the Governor's Palace, he is a little powerless.

Because what these people are fighting for is a vital interest. And it is difficult to distribute this kind of benefit fairly. The different factions represented by Al Zimi and Zhang Timing are vying for his trust and position in the Governor's Palace.

And this is closely related to political performance.

Until now, he has not appointed the chief of the ministry, that is, between the two forces, there is no suitable candidate enough to win their trust.

However, this situation will be improved after the Battle of Yazato. For he was already thinking about it, from among the new counselors. Pick a suitable candidate to serve as the head of the Governor's Office.

Anyway, in the eyes of Al Zimi, Zhang Timing and others, these new strategists are in a competitive relationship with them in terms of interests. Therefore, when he is the head of the ministry, he will not worry about his excessive favoritism.

In this way, the factions represented by Al Zimi and Zhang Timing will also be convinced.

While he was thinking about this, Ali Bura looked at Li Chengji, who was sitting in a precarious position, with some sneer. In fact, he didn't want to talk like this to Timur in front of Li Chengji. But in his position, he has to fight.

Because the General Staff Division was created in wartime. When it comes to Khorasan Dading, it is likely that it will not be of much use.

Of course, the pace of expansion of the Governor's Palace in Khorasan will not stop there. But the next war is not sure when. So in his heart, he needs a stability. Therefore, he was a little uneasy about his position in the General Staff Division.

This requires the moment, vigorously express oneself and show one's usefulness. In this way, after the great settlement of Khorasan, he can find a better official position.

Li Chengji naturally understands this thought. So after Li Gao spoke, he silently watched the subtle changes on the field and didn't make a sound.

"As far as the last general knows, Fort Alepf is not the way to lock up." , Timur looked at Li Qi with a smile and said loudly.

It is also the western part of the Parupamisus Mountains, which is not as high as the eastern part. Although there is little vegetation on the mountain, it is mostly sandy and gravel. But there are still a few trails that can be spared to the back of Alepsburg.

It just so happened that Timur was quite familiar with such a trail.

This was also when his reputation was not obvious, and he went on a campaign with his predecessor, the Sultan of Khorezm. At that time in Alef Fort, nails were also hit. Later, under the guidance of the locals, they came to the back of Alepfburg.

Thus taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the enemy army, the entire Alepfburg was pulled out.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, he wants to use this method again to take down the entire military fort.

"Oh! Did General Timur know that there was a secret way to go behind enemy lines? When Li Chengji heard this, he said in surprise. Since the army set out to fight, it has been like a divine soldier along the way. Therefore, the speed of the cathar's advancement is also unusually fast. Until here, because the capture of Kushk town was too powerful, the defenders of Fort Alepf were prepared early.

And with the addition of the defeated troops in Kushke, the military protection in the fort has been strengthened several times. The cathars attacked twice in succession, but they had no choice but to leave behind the corpses and were unwilling to retreat to the town of Kushk.

Therefore, how to break the enemy at present is particularly important.

"When the last general joined the army, it was more than ten years ago. Now that I come back, I don't dare to conclude that the secret passage is still there. When Timur saw Li Chengji asking, he knew that his proposal had already made Li Chengji take care of it. Then he searched for his thoughts and answered.

"The vicissitudes of life are endless. The Purniban Khan family, the thief chieftain, has been operating in Yeli for many years. This Alepfburg is also the gateway to the customs in Yeli. In such a critical place, it is natural to have a thorough understanding of the surrounding rivers and mountains as early as possible. Because of Li's atmospheric remarks, Ali Bura did not dare to reveal a-for-tat trend. So there is some ambiguity in and out of the words.

But if you think about it carefully, the meaning of the words is not difficult to understand.

Temur still maintained a warm smile and said loudly: "What Counselor Ali said is very true. After the capture of Fort Alepf, the entrance to the trail was destroyed by order of the Sultan. The soldiers who knew the truth were also killed in the later battles.

Therefore, whether the secret passage is still there, the last general does not dare to assert. ”。

If you know, you know, and if you don't know, you don't know. Timur still knew the severity of the matter, and did not dare to assert what he did not know. Even in his heart, he felt that the possibility of the existence of the secret passage was very high.

"If you don't send someone to find out one or two, you will know what the truth is." , Li Qi heard this and proposed loudly.

Because of his identity as a big drop pill in the Tobe, no one dared to take his words as a deaf ear. Therefore, the strategists and generals present should all be in unison.

And so, the whole thing was settled.

In the afternoon, the sound of horses' hooves gradually increased. On the somewhat dry ground, puffs of dust were raised. Yang Jier Zhenli rode on his horse, looked at the Bald Mountain that was getting closer and closer, and slowly stopped.

It is also bare on the hill with little vegetation. So in the eyes of others, it's like a bald man. From this, it got the name of Bald Mountain. Alepsburg is located at the foot of Bald Mountain. It was a valley entrance, and it was the easiest official road to enter.

Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to cross the mountains and take a detour.
