But Yang Jier did not get up, but responded with some regret: "But the kid is good at axes!" If you shoot on horseback, the battle axe given by the governor will not be of use. ”。

In the end, it is the nature of a teenager. Seeing that Li Chengji has always been kind to him, his originally tight mind couldn't help but soothe it.

In this tone, it is not like the previous scruples.

Although Li Chengji is unable to deal with things directly because of his superiors. But he is very fond of people with upright temperaments. Especially Yang Jier's temperament, which is very much in line with his heart. felt that his words were a sign of closeness.

But Timur's destruction was not as pleasant as Yangir's destruction. The already tight heartstrings are even tighter. The pounding heartbeat is even faster than the throat.

"Haha... Then you want to go to Chiyan? Li Chengji asked with a somewhat surprised smile.

Yang Jier answered the Governor's request, apparently having made up his mind.

In this way, Li Chengji had no choice but to fulfill it.

So he ordered someone to take his armor and give it to Yang Jier. It's just that in terms of size, it doesn't fit well. Fortunately, there are craftsmen in the army, and it is very easy to change one or two according to Yang Jier's figure.

This surprised Timur and others, and at the same time, he was grateful for his favor and trust in Yangjir Zhenli.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengji arranged their place again. Not only did they let them lead a battalion alone, but the soldiers and horses under them were mostly the original prisoners.

However, the generals inside are all from the Apologetic Army. Therefore, even if they have different intentions, it is difficult for them to make the army apostaly.

In this way, later in the evening, Li Chengji was really tired. So he asked the people outside to go down and rest first, and then summon them when they had time tomorrow. Wu Daa Heima, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but be a little depressed. But Li Chengji's identity made him dare not complain. He could only return to the barracks sullenly, depressed.

In this way, the next day, Li Chengji was busy with the whole army.

Although before coming to Maru, the captives had been broken up and reorganized. But the apologists led by Li Atmosphere are a minority after all. Therefore, after being dispersed, the proportion of captured troops was too heavy. And the military strength of the cathar army has also been greatly reduced by the addition of the captive army.

For this reason, Li Chengji brought in the 20,000 apologetics he brought with him.

Of course, this is not enough. There were also more than 30,000 captives in Malu. After excluding the old and weak, there are still more than 20,000 people available. More than 10,000 of the captives in Nishapur were dismissed.

As a result, the entire cathar army reached the scale of 90,000 people. In addition, the 20,000 cathars who stayed in Puhua and the 20,000 reorganized captives who stayed in the land of Nishapur. It is 130,000 people. The establishment of the three major legions has also expanded from the original 20,000 to 40,000. Only Chiyan has 10,000 more than the other legions.

In the territory of Khorasan, this is already a desperate army.

While Li Chengji was happy about the expansion of his troops, he couldn't help but worry about the military expenses of the Guardian Army. Because the treasures under the Yang Mansion had been handed over to Li Dayi by him, and they were almost sold.

Therefore, the military expenses of the cathars can only be collected from the land of Khorasan.

It's just that Li Chengji is not a person who fishes with all his might, so he won't do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs. Therefore, the best way is to open source.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a little headache.

But for now, he doesn't have to worry too much! Because the capture of Nishapur and Malu has already met the military expenses of the cathars for nearly two years.

And next, it is necessary to capture Yasato. When the time comes, it's another big gain.

Therefore, after the reorganization of the cathar army was completed, he immediately ordered the army to be mobilized. At the same time, they have been training diligently on the road so that the reorganized Guardian Corps will return to the level before the reorganization as soon as possible.

At the same time, also in the city. In later generations, its name was Herat. It is the capital of Afghanistan's Herat province, and today it is one of the four major county towns of Great Khorasan Province.

It is more than 600 kilometers away from Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan in later generations, now known as the city of Kopli. Situated on the right bank of the middle reaches of the Hari River, it has plenty of water.

As early as the sixth century B.C., towns were established here. And it was successively occupied by Arab, Persian, Hezhong and Tianzhu forces. It is also located at the junction of the tripartite forces of Central Asia, South Asia and West Asia, and has the function of a natural transportation and trade hub.

Both the strategic position and the commercial position are extremely important.

This is why the province of Great Khorasan became one of the three major sources of wealth of the empire during the Abbasid Empire.

At present, there are more than 300,000 people in the city, and it is the most populous city in the territory of Khorasan. It is the territory of the Gur country, and it is also the largest city that is second to none. And because of the erosion of the situation in the Gur Kingdom and Li Chengji's use of force against the land of Khorasan, there were more people who fled.

As a result, the number of people in Yeli City has exceeded 400,000.

You must know that the scale of the castle in Yeli has not been expanded for nearly 100 years. This sudden influx of so many people made the city overcrowded.

And most of these people who fled were penniless. If they want to survive, they have to do something 'stealing chickens and dogs'.

This is also the norm in the case of extreme hunger.

At the moment, tens of thousands of believers at the Jami Mosque are worshipping. This is a landmark building in the city of Yeli. It was built two hundred years ago and has an octagonal shape. There are twenty-three iron pillars, on which are depicted a large number of geometric patterns, birds and animals.

The top is inlaid with a large amount of stained glass, which reflects the multicolored light when illuminated by the sun. From a distance, it's still a bit beautiful.

The floor is paved with a mixture of marble and red sandstone, and in the center, there is a carpet.

"Governor, Puniban Khan is going to see us tomorrow!" , a guard in a wide robe, said in a deep voice at Egnaqi.

After making a gesture of worship, Egnaqi, who was already wearing a hood and a face scarf, responded: "What time? ”。

Since escaping Malu, he has fled all the way west. During this period, he died nine times, and most of the guards who followed him were killed and wounded. Only six or seven people survived and fled to Yeli. In order to survive on the way, they also had to eat human flesh.

That feeling is nothing short of torture. Egnaqi, who was originally quite strong, also lost a lot of weight.

Thinking back on that experience now, he can't help but be afraid.

It's just that although he is alive, he is not reconciled. Therefore, he hoped to borrow troops from the hands of the governor of Yeli, Puniban Khan, to recapture the city.

But be careful! Before getting the letter of Puniban Khan, he still didn't dare to come to the door to ask for reinforcements in such an embarrassment. He sent people to test him several times, and after being sure that Puniban Khan would not be unfavorable to him, he finally made up his mind to meet him.
