Chapter 376: Attacking the South and Defending the North

"So what? Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Although Da Liao was gullible for a while, he was a barbarian and raised tigers. But if the barbarians want to replace Da Liao, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? Malik retorted.

After all, Da Liao has dominated the Western Regions for a hundred years! In many people's minds, it is invincible. Even in the war with Huihe, he suffered a defeat. The northern border was taken advantage of by the barbarians, and it was not peaceful. But an empire is an empire. Even if it is reduced to this field, ordinary people still respect it.

Abrajiang also thought like this, and then said: "Although Qu Zhulu is a deep thinker, but the Great Liao soldiers are strong and strong, and it is not so easy to defeat. Counselor Ali, you're too worried. ”。

"But the law of bending out has two ups and downs, and it can't be treated with common sense!" , Gritsyn said.

At this time, Zhang Timing, the great Diwan of the household department, also spoke. Just listen: "The old man felt that what Counselor Ali said was not without thought. Thinking of that Mahamat, flee all the way south. The Mongols pursued and killed him many times, but he was in great trouble and did not die. Later, he was exiled to Daliao, and he unexpectedly recovered.

At that time, he persuaded the Kipchak tribe, the Huihe tribe and the Qarlu tribe to jointly deal with the Great Liao. This method must not be underestimated. ”。

Zhang Timing's status determines that his words are very weighty! Therefore, those generals who originally did not consider Ali Bura's remarks at all couldn't help but think deeply. Li Weiwei, who was sitting at the bottom right, also thought for a while, and then said: "The garrisons of Da Liao in the cities of Khujand and Bahanna have been transferred to return to the north. It is enough to show that the threat of Qu Zhulu to Da Liao is not trivial. ”。 As the great Diwan of the Ministry of War, he also has a clearer understanding of the distribution of troops in various countries. Therefore, his words cannot be false.

Even the generals who still had opposition in their hearts, after Li Dawei expressed his attitude, he did not dare to oppose or question it casually.

Seeing this, Ali Bura began to explain his reasons for supporting Khorezm.

Just listened: "Mahama has a big plan, and he has not the heart to replace Da Liao." And Qu Qu Lu was deeply thoughtful, and he also wanted to replace Balasagon with him. It's just that at the moment, Khorezm is weak. However, if the Governor's Office gives support, it is impossible to say that it is not in the territory of Daliao, and the disaster of the two tigers will be staged. ”。

Speaking of which, it would be a fool not to understand again. And if you think about it, it's the same reason. With the experience of the Gur civil strife, the generals were happy to see the Khorezm people and the barbarians fighting.

Therefore, the officials who were originally skeptical were all relieved.

Li Chengji, who was sitting at the top, saw that everyone was persuaded by Ali Bura, and also said loudly: "Since you all think that what Counselor Ali said is reasonable, then we will attack the south and defend the north." As for how to do it, you will go down and think about it. Three days later, each ministry and department agreed on a specific charter. ”。

At this point, the matter of using troops against the Gur country was decided.

However, Ali Bura, who had just walked out of the governor's palace, was quickly stopped by the chamberlain Murgo. "Counselor Ali, the Governor is invited!" , Mu Erguo, who looks white and clean, has a delicate face, and said with a modest smile.

He was a white slave from Byzantium, and he was born handsome. Previously, when he was in Puhua, he served in the Sanjar Palace. Later, when he encountered a rebellion, he was severely bullied and humiliated by the mob who broke into the palace. Seeing that he was not far from death, he was diagnosed and treated by Li Chengji's imperial doctor. Finally pulled him back from the ghost gate.

At that time, there were many people who were in the same situation as him. Originally, people like them died like dead ants, where would they get diagnosis and treatment.

Therefore, Lee Seungji's righteous act immediately won their effectiveness. In addition, these male slaves with beautiful faces were castrated and cut to serve their masters. So even if Li Chengji let them out, there would be nowhere to go.

He stayed in the governor's palace and did some work of serving.

Of course, Lee Seung-ji does not have this hobby. Therefore, these male attendants have suffered a lot less inhuman suffering. It's just that in this way, there is less opportunity to get close to Li Chengji.

Because this mulberry is a clever man, and he is good at observing words and feelings. So among the waiters, he quickly stood out. Moved south to Malu, and he followed. Now he is responsible for helping Li Chengji deliver messages to the people below, as well as serving tea and pouring water.

Ali Bura also knew about him, so he said to Ggrichin beside him: "The governor summons me, and I will not go with you." ”。

Knowing the cause and effect, he hurriedly smiled and said that it would not be in the way, and left in the car. Ali Bura followed Murgo and came to the back garden in a twist and turn.

There is a pool here, but it is not as big as the pool behind the main hall. The area of the garden is not as large as that of the garden of the main temple. However, the scenery here is unique, full of pavilions and rockeries that can only be seen in the Jiangnan region of the Central Plains.

The whole layout is also full of Han style.

However, because Khorasan is still too far away from the Han land in the Central Plains, the craftsmen who built it are the descendants of the Han people who have left the Han land for some years. Therefore, in terms of materials, it is still local materials. So that in this Han garden, you can also see a lot of Persian and Arab charm.

On weekdays, Li Chengji likes to take a walk here in addition to handling government affairs. Therefore, the maintenance of the yard is also very attentive.

When Ali Bura came, all the flowers in the garden were built. The secluded cobblestone floor has also been swept several times. Even the fish in the pond are replaced with brightly colored ones that like to jump.

So that it is full of fun to go deep into it.

At an arched bridge, Ali Bura saw Lee Seung-ji feeding the fish.

"You're doing a great job!" , Li Chengji heard the footsteps and knew that it was Ali Bura, so he didn't look back.

This flattered Ali Bura, and hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.

Li Chengji smiled and said softly: "It's okay! You've done a good job, and you deserve it. ”。 It turned out that before convening the generals to discuss the matter, he specially sent someone to inform Ali Bura. Let him slowly explain his intention to attack Gul according to his own wishes.

Although this matter, if he himself had said it, there would have been much less controversy. However, the dissent in the hearts of the generals can only be held in their hearts. In the long run, the discussion of politics will become a hall of words. This is extremely detrimental to the development of the Governor's Palace.

After all, three stinkers are worthy of one Zhuge Liang. With collective wisdom, we can always check and fill in the gaps and make relatively appropriate decisions. Therefore, Li Chengji is unwilling to use his authority to directly express his intentions.

Instead, through the mouth of Ali Bura, he discussed with the generals. so that they can be convinced, so that the decision-making can be perfected.

"It is my intention to attack Gul today. In your opinion, is there anything wrong with that? Li Chengji asked with a smile. Although Ali Bura was right, he wasn't sure that Ali Bura really thought so. Therefore, I would like to hear his opinion so that I can know what is wrong.
