"In this way, the strategy of the two ends of the first mouse of the Ochig will be revealed." , Xiao Chongde felt something.

"I think Ochig knows what to do!" , Li Chengji said loudly. Because of the existence of Mongolia, the capture of the three cities of Qarluq is also famous. In the future, Mongolia will be questioned, and there will be reasons to be fooled.

In the end, at the moment, Li Chengji doesn't want to tear his face with Mongolia.

So if Ochig can't hand it over, he can just get it himself. Even if Ochig handed over the people, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Mongols. He will also lead his troops into the three cities of Qarluq under the pretext of protecting the safety of the Qarluq Kingdom.

Therefore, it was deliberately announced, just so that there would be an excuse to send troops in the future.

Although Xiao Chongde did not fight with the Mongols, he had heard of the great name of Mongolia's unification of the north and south of the desert. He spoke up: "Mongolia is powerful, and Ochige is afraid that he will not hand over Qu Qu Law." ”。

"It doesn't matter! The cathars would let him know what was the right choice between Mongolia and Khorasan. Li Chengji swore solemnly.

Seeing that Li Chengji had his own ideas, Xiao Chongde didn't say anything more. Originally, he didn't come here for the newspaper. took off his reading glasses, took a sip of tea and said, "Princess Huhu, when are you going to marry and enter the door?" ”。

Although Li Chengji has been married to Hun Hu, Hun Hu has been living in the princess's mansion since then. Except for the fact that Li Chengji sent some gifts and greetings at first, there was no movement. This made those old ministers of Daliao who were dumbfounded as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Therefore, he ran to Xiao Chongde's mansion, just to let him urge in front of Li Chengji.

"I consulted with Daddy and Auntie. As soon as the war on Kasuga's side is over, she will be welcomed into the door. ”。

"Your marriage is up to you! It's just that Hun is a princess of her homeland, and she needs to be treated more kindly. In the end, there was a dirty quarrel between Li Chengji and Hun Hu in the past! Although it was young and ignorant, it is difficult to say that it will be notorious.

Xiao Chongde was also worried about this, so he was willing to go.

Although Li Chengji has not forgotten the past, the times have changed, and there is no point in dwelling on the past anymore. smiled and said remember, so that Xiao Chongde could rest at ease.

In the evening, the grandparents and grandchildren had a light meal together, and Li Chengji asked Ba Rahei to send Xiao Chongde back. In fact, Li Chengji wanted him to stay overnight! But Xiao Chongde felt that he was old, and if he died in the Li Mansion, he was afraid that it would bring bad luck.

Therefore, he didn't let him go, so Li Chengji had to take advantage of the night to send people back.

Time was fast, the ice and snow melted, and the thirty-second year of Tianxi (1210) arrived. Because Khorasan is still a kingdom, it has not been changed. The Khorasan army, which had been recuperating for the winter, was about to begin to show a tough posture again.

Especially after the news came from the side of Koshhar that the Eastern Qarakhanid King had been killed and the new Khan had surrendered to the Mongols. Li Chengji made it clear in public that he would immediately remove the name of the Eastern Kara Khanate and crusade against the traitors who could lose Har.

However, just after winter, the horse lost a lot of fat. It will take a while to return to its full state.

Therefore, Li Chengji did not plan to use a large-scale apologetic army this time, but mobilized the tribes to fight according to the habits of the steppe people. First of all, the eighteen Khitan departments were gathered, including Rhubarb Murowei, Dira, Wang Jira, Cha Chira, Yexi, Nose Gude, Nira, Dara, Damili, Mierji, Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Humusi, Xi, and more than 130,000 people; There were more than 100,000 people in the ten Kipchak tribes, including Tohesaba, Hongur, Ulu, Tarhan, Zalayir, Ulash, Bayandur, Besiling, Tortur, and Taz.

Combined, there are nearly 240,000. The tribes west of Atami and east of the Aral Sea are considered to include ninety percent. It is also in the old years that these tribes suffered less losses and were well preserved. Naturally, we can't make them comfortable this year!

In addition, the Kangli Department and the Budaq Department are also among the recruits. However, they did not carry out this eastward movement, but waited for Ahura to continue westward and sweep the northern shore of the Caspian Sea. Thus forcing the Sikpchak alliance to the west to submit to Khorasan.

Just when he was preparing for the war, a batch of mysterious weapons was sent from Ma Lu, which made Li Chengji smile. But the artillery, which had been developed in the old years, finally reached the point of mass production. And the power has also been significantly improved.

"Good! With this powerful invincible cannon, even if the city wall of Ha'er is strong, it can be blasted into powder! In the valley south of the broken leaves, Li Chengji looked at the hole in the mountain and laughed.

This time, the Firearms Division was very efficient! Ten artillery pieces were sent at once. Compared with the old years, the two old cannons sometimes explode. This time, the failure rate of artillery has been reduced by 30%. Moreover, there are more artillery, and the power is significantly increased.

It's just accurate, but it's still unsatisfactory.

But that's okay!

After all, the city walls are wide enough, and I am not afraid that the accuracy will be ridiculously biased.

And in the Ati Basheng Mountain Range, the battle has already begun.

In fact, in the old days, this place was still controlled by Da Liao. However, due to the large-scale attack of Khorezm at that time, the fall of Daliao was imminent. The Eastern Qarakhanid State took the opportunity to send troops and captured the mountain pass in one fell swoop.

You know, it's less than half a day's journey from Keshihar. So once there is a loss here, then the loss of Ha Erke will fall into an extremely passive situation.

In the past, he was afraid of the might of the Great Liao, and he did not dare to act rashly. Now that the Great Liao is gone, naturally there are no scruples.

And after Khorasan recovered the land of Bakhana, he was busy consolidating his rule. For the Turgat Pass, it is too late to pay attention to it for the time being.

But for now, the Eastern Qarakhanid was bent on turning to the Mongols and making Khorasan an an enemy. Then the Turgat Pass is also bound to be recaptured.

It's just that the place is at a high altitude and the mountains are steep. Even if you want to attack, it will be difficult to use it. Fortunately, when Tayang Valley ordered the Liao army to evacuate, the first leader burned the military fort on the mountain. Therefore, on the side of the Eastern Kara Khanate, it was also difficult to garrison heavy troops in the mountains.

On the mountain road west of the Turgat Pass, a caravan of camels is carrying goods and heading west. Due to the twists and turns of the mountain road, the caravan did not go fast. And because of the high altitude, the mountains are very desolate.

Several murky streams flowed under the gray rock walls, creating a roaring stream of water that sounded like thunder.

When they reached the mountain pass, they were immediately greeted by soldiers who were stationed at them with arrows.

"Oops! Don't shoot arrows! Don't shoot arrows! We are the merchants of Ke Lost Ha'er, selling goods for the old man's family in Mahmut! ”。

Mahmut Tybai is a famous big man in Keshahar! Although in the early years, it lost power in Daliao. But when he returned to Keshhar, he quickly became the object of friendship among the nobles of Keshhar by virtue of the political prestige and family connections accumulated in Balasagon in the past.

Therefore, when the soldiers heard the name of Mahmut, they hesitated.
