"Mahamat actually led his troops to the territory of the Kipchaks?!" When Li Chengji heard the news at first glance, he was a little unconvinced. However, the information sent by the Division of Affairs could not have been fake. So although he was shocked in his heart, he already believed that the news was true.

Li Dalihou was beside him and responded: "In order to hide the news, Mahamat has set up many checkpoints at the junction of Khorezm and Khorasan. In order to send the news out, the hall master also made a detour north to Kipchak and Daliao, and then sent it to Chachi's stronghold. ”。

It is for this reason that when the news arrived, the Sultan of Khorezm Mahamat had already subdued the Khan of the Khanate of Sihanak, that is, his cousin Alip Scherek. And he sent 70,000 tribesmen to the north with the army of Khorezm.

On the border of the Turkai steppe, there was also a skirmish with the Khan of the Kupchak Khanate, Kadir Bug Khan. Because both sides are tentative contacts, both sides have wins and losses.

However, for the next decisive battle, Li Chengji is not looking forward to it. Because this Kadir Bughan is really not Mahamat's opponent.

Like the Khan of the Khanate, --- Arip Kara-Ulan, the Khan of the Khanate, Kadir Bughan was also a lackluster and more than accomplished. In the Central Plains Dynasty, such a monarch was not yet fatal.

But on the grassland, a lack of progress is a sign of weakness. Under the law of the jungle, it is easy to be looked down upon.

After all, the tribes on the steppe are large and small, and they are too numerous to count. At every moment, tribes emerge and perish. The speed of such a replacement is completely incomparable to that of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, the grassland country formed by a tribe faces both internal and external threats. The Khamli people, who were part of the Kupchak Khanate, were a concrete manifestation of its internal troubles.

Coupled with the Khorezm people in the south a few years ago, the country is flourishing. The Shanak Khanate with the Khamli people became even closer by marriage. The internal and external threats faced by the Kupchak Khanate are even more serious.

Like the previous Khorezm Sultan Taha, when he was in power, he repeatedly launched wars against the Kupchak Khanate.

And in 1198, he ordered Mahamat to lead a large army to attack the Great Tent of Khadir Bughan together with Arip Fallk. As a result, the army of the Khanate was defeated in a single blow, and Qadir Burhan became a prisoner of Mahamat.

If it weren't for the fact that Arip Fallek, who later received the support of most of the tribes of the Khanate, he would have been too disobedient. Not only did he not take Taha's uncle seriously, but he also often let the tribes below invade the Khorezm border.

Tahashi would not have released Alip Scherek back into the Kipchak steppe and made him the Khan of the right wing of the Knapchak Khanate.

In this way, the razing will be used to prevent the emergence of forces that threaten Khorezm on the Kipchak steppe.

It was also the administrative system of the Kupchak Khanate, which already had serious drawbacks. Like at the turn of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, with the expansion of its territory, the Kupchak Khanate was officially divided into two wings, the left and the right.

Among them, the left wing was centered on Skanak, and its influence spread throughout the Almaty, East Kazakhstan, South Kazakhstan provinces, Kostanay regions, Akmola regions, Pavlodar regions, Karaganda regions, Kyzyl Orda regions, and the basins of the Syr Darya, Irtysh, and Ob rivers. Even the Siberian jungle has dabbled.

Later, after changes, the territory in the east has shrunk considerably. Especially after the westward migration of the Great Liao, the northern part of Altay and the north of the Irtysh River were completely abandoned. It was also at this time that the Kangli tribe entered the Syr Darya River on a large scale.

And half a century ago, he began to succeed the right-wing Khan. and took control of Shanak and began to wander outside the Kupchak Khanate.

The right flank led the Turkige steppe, the Ural River, and the Volga River basin, and the khane tent was set up seventy miles east of the city of Aktobe, Aktobe Oblast, Kazakhstan. It includes the entire western part of Kazakhstan and the northern part of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

And to the west of the right flank, there was also a Sikpchak coalition formed by the Kipchaks, which ruled the entire northern part of the Black Sea.

In this way, the power of the Kipchaks is actually divided into three.

However, in the steppes, this system of double sweating is very common.

After all, the territory is too big, and it lives as a nomad. Coupled with the means of communication, it is extremely backward. Therefore, the only way to control the territory of the khanate can only be used in the way of double khans.

The former Qarakhanid State was a double khanate system. It's just that later, it really split into East and West.

Now, under the leadership of Khorezm, the division within the Kupchak Khanate has been further strengthened. The tendency of the Khamli to break away from the Kupchak Khanate and establish themselves in a comprehensive manner was further intensified.

The information sent also specifically mentioned the proposal to send troops to the north. It was Vizier Amin of Khorezm who made it happen.

This is a powerful minister from the Kangli Ministry! During the time when Taha was in power, he began to be appreciated. Later, he contacted the generals of the Kangli tribe and worked for Mahamat so that he could be reused. In the last rebellion of Prince Rajad, he has always been on the side of Mahamat.

and persuaded Turkhan Kodun to stand by and not interfere.

After the assassination of Prince Rajad, he personally sent an envoy to the enemy camp, so that most of the rebellious Kipchak generals agreed to surrender.

It can be said that Mahamat was able to quell the rebellion at the lowest cost. His contribution can be said to be indispensable.

Now he is encouraging Mahamat to go north, and it is obviously a good strategy.

Because of the territory of Khorezm, there is now a shortage of food. If the Kupchak Khanate were to attack the north, the lack of food would soon be alleviated. What's more, far from Khorasan province, the constant threat to Khorezm is gone.

In the end, the threat of the Knapchak Khanate was much greater than that of Khorasan, which was clearly much greater. Therefore, for the sake of national fortune, staying away from strong neighbors is the best choice.

This strategic intent can be seen in Khorezm's isolation from Khorasan Province. And Mahamat also took away more than ninety percent of the young people on this expedition. It seems that completion is the power of the whole country.

Obviously, he didn't leave after a fight, but had the intention of moving north. Or, it is to run the north with all its might, so as to slowly restore the national strength.

It was also mentioned that Turkhan Khotun had returned to Wattle Al, under the pretext of visiting relatives. At the same time, some Khorezm farmers also entered the territory of the Khanate Khanate. On both sides of the Syr Darya River, there was a large-scale reclamation.

Some large-scale irrigation projects are also under construction.

The Khorezm people, who have entered the agricultural society, are still very experienced in farming. On both sides of the Amu Darya River, thousands of acres of farmland were reclaimed by the Khorezm people.

It is for this reason that the level of social development in Khorezm is much higher than that of the Kupchak Khanate in the north. In the past few years, the prosperity of Khorezm was also based on the great development of agriculture.
