This is still the decision made after taking Amu City.

Because in Li Chengji's vision, he originally planned to use Bancheng as a foothold. Then slowly try to control the entire province of Khorasan. It's just that I didn't expect that there was an accident with Pu Hua. As a result, the whole plan will also change.

The good thing is that it doesn't hurt!

On the contrary, in a very short period of time, he controlled the land of the three counties. Thus helping his power to develop faster. So much so, to some extent, accelerated his control over the entire province of Khorasan.

In the end, the four counties of Khorasan were actually fighting their own battles. The county guards also retained a great deal of autonomy while submitting to other forces. For example, civil affairs, military affairs, etc., are all in charge of the county guard.

Coupled with the geographical isolation, the connection between them is not close.

If Li Chengji is divided and attacked, he will definitely be able to take down these four counties.

But these four county guards are not fools. Knowing that Li Chengji had a plot against them, they recruited troops one after another to strengthen their preparations for war. At the same time, he asked for help from Khorezm, the Western Qarakhanids, and even the Gur Empire, which was in chaos internally.

Of course, this cannot be put on the surface.

Because the Great Liao is the suzerainty of the Western Karakhanid State and Khorezm, the Gur State is the defeated general of the Great Liao. Therefore, the governor of Khorasan Province, who was enthroned by the Great Liao, occupied the legal principle.

When the Great Liao was weak, this legal principle was actually useless. But at present, Da Liao is still the overlord here. This legal principle also represents the national prestige of Da Liao. Let them, the lord of the city, provoke the majesty of Da Liao, that is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!

They wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

Therefore, their wish was only to get the monarchs of these three countries to recognize their submission. As a result, the Great Liao side was dealt with by the monarchs of these three countries.

This method has been tried and tested many times in the past. In the end, they became the bread and butter of all parties, unscathed. The countries that are competing for each other have won and lost, and there have been many losses.

Anyway, it's just a sentence of submission, and some valuable objects can be exchanged for the recognition of the monarchs of various countries.

It's so easy, why not?!

However, the timing was too inappropriate.

At present, the Western Kharat Khanate was tamed like a good grandson because of the fact that it united with Khorezm and intended to challenge the prestige of the Great Liao State. Even if that black sand was not incorporated into Khorasan Province by Li Chengji, he did not dare to have any words. Not to mention the four counties that are beyond the reach of the whip!

Khorezm was not weak, but that was a few months ago. Now after the battle of Puhua, Khorezm's momentum has plummeted. After Mahamat returned to China, the Rajad rebellion broke out.

The Kipchak tribes, who had just been conquered, also rebelled. The local supervisor sent to Khorezm was even more brutally killed. The prince's fiefdom west of Yulong Jiechi also immediately became the place where Rajad raised his troops.

For a time, Khorezm was a double king standing side by side, and the chaos was extreme.

Turhan Kodun, who controls most of the Khorezm tribes, is very surprised by his ambiguous attitude! Only initially, let the two brothers mediate privately. Other than that, nothing more. The tribes to which they belong are also neutral and neutral.

This made Rajad's arrogance even more arrogant. Mahamat's position has also been challenged like never before.

In the history books, such a thing did not happen. Li Chengji knew that it was because of his arrival. The unexpected disappearance of Mahamat aroused Rajad's covetousness. This led to the butterfly effect, which led to this unexpected and reasonable rebellion.

The joy of the heart is indescribable.

Therefore, Mahamat is now bent on quelling the Rajad rebellion. For the request of the four counties, there is no weakness.

As for the Gur Kingdom, there is no need to even think about it. Because the descendants of the Sultan are fighting for the throne of the Sultan. Where you have the mind, pay attention to the remote four county guards.

After all, nominal allegiance, where is the position of Sultan real.

Under such circumstances, the four counties are destined to find no foreign aid.

Li Chengji is limited by the rapid expansion and limited troops, and now he can't eat them. But I don't want to let go of this great opportunity!

In the end, it is impossible to say that in the future, Mahamat will not be able to quell the rebellion in Khorezm and interfere with it. In the form of an invitation letter, he invited the four county guards to go to Puhua to discuss major matters.

The real idea is to use power to suppress people and give in without a fight.

For example, before the invitation, Li Chengji changed and sealed the original official positions of the four counties in the name of the Khorasan Governor's Palace. The county guard, Kadi, emir and other county chiefs also converged with Pu Hua.

It's just that in terms of officials, the original local dignitaries and dignitaries are used.

In this, there is Li Chengji's little calculation.

If the four county guards did not accept the title, then Li Chengji would use the local county guards as grounds that they did not obey the king's orders and had bad intentions. Lead a large army and justifiably conquer. When it was spread to Daliao, even if it was a person with bad intentions, there was nothing to say.

On the other hand, it can also buy some people's hearts before going to war. I can't say it, but I can also let those dignitaries who were originally close to the county guard turn to his command. Because of the positions of Kadi, Emir, etc., they are on an equal footing with the county guard.

It's hard not to be moved by this right and status.

In addition, according to Puhua's official system, more people will be included in the ruling class. The temptation of power will make their hearts itch and unbearable.

In the end, the positions of the four county guards were not seized by any legitimate means. Therefore, these people are also deeply rooted in their hearts that the strong are respected. Any loyalty, in the face of absolute interests, is reduced to empty talk.

More importantly, Li Chengji could test the attitude of the four county guards towards the Khorasan Governor's Palace. Based on this, a corresponding strategy can be developed.

Soon, except for the county guard of Bancheng County, who immediately changed the official system according to his title. The other three counties all shirked or refused for various reasons.

In particular, the Maru County Guard, who was closest to Amu City, refused to see the envoy sent by the Governor's Mansion on the grounds that he was sick. The matter of the seizure is not acceptable. According to the report from the spies of the Affairs Division, this Malu county guard is very tough. Just a few days before the arrival of the envoy, he also married a concubine who was like a flower.

So Li Chengji also put it on Liwei's list.

Nishapur and Yeli Commander, on the other hand, agreed face-to-face. However, on the grounds that the affairs are busy, the implementation is suspended. For the positions of Kadi and Emir, they are also vacant.

Obviously, they don't want to lose their power.

It's human nature!

If it is replaced by Li Chengji, he is also unwilling. Understanding is understanding, and accepting it is another matter.

The land of these four counties has long been classified by him as a place of internal determination. Therefore, the four counties guarded and were hostile to him in their positions. Their choice is only to prosper if they go along with it, and die if they go against it.

To blame, we can only blame their bad luck.
