On the 4th day of the 11th month of Rajdal, Rajad was assassinated at Koti. The injury was serious for many days, and I am afraid that he will not be cured. The rebels are leaderless and have deep internal worries. Mahamat issued a summons, and those who surrendered to the truth were not to blame for the past. ’。

Although the number of words is not much, in the eyes of Li Chengji, it is as heavy as a thousand catties. As a result, the originally good mood has become extremely gloomy.

"Quick! Hurry up! Those who have military status above the commander of a thousand commanders in the army will come to the house to discuss matters. Li Dali heard Li Chengji's solemn tone, and also knew that this matter was not trivial. So he quickly withdrew, and took the messenger with him.

Originally, this was supposed to be done by Rabi Lasi of the Attendant Division, but on this long trip, Li Chengji needed someone to stay in Puhua and maintain stability in the city. He left Rabi Lasi behind and took full charge of the affairs of the Inspectorate.

It is foreseeable that when Li Chengji's army returns, Labi Lasi's assistant will be changed to secretary.

When the door closed, Li Chengji clenched his fists as he held the letter. The constant heaving of the chest shows the unrest in the heart.

In the end, the news of Rajad's assassination is really not good news. Because Rajad is the only figure in Khorezm who can be compared to Mahamat. Even his mother, Turhan Kedun, did not have such a great appeal.

After all, Turhan Khotun was born in the Khamri tribe, and his identity as a descendant of the royal family of Rajad Khorezm was completely different. Therefore, the latter can not only win the support of the people of Khorizm, but also capture the hearts and minds of the people of Khorezm.

As a result, all kinds of rebels belonging to different factions were able to serve under his command.

But with this assassination, the rebels immediately lost their backbone. The blow to morale can be considered devastating.

In addition, the summons that Mahamat took the opportunity to spread made it easier to make the rebels unstable.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not suitable to march and fight at the moment, it would be impossible to say that Mahamat's counterattack would be imminent.

Thinking of this, Li Chengji scolded angrily: "Hmph! What a good means! ”。

In line with the principle that whoever gains is the murderer, this Rajad assassination, the murderer must be Mahamat. Originally, the rebels all fought to Yulong Jiechi and besieged the city for more than a month. It wasn't until this cold winter came that he led the army to Keti to garrison.

By the spring of the following year, Mahamat's defeat would be almost a matter of destiny.

But it didn't work out, and suddenly there was such an accident. Mahama's predicament was also greatly alleviated immediately.

However, it is useless to be upset and irritable at this juncture. So he ordered someone to pour a cup of tea and come in, so that he could calm his heart a little.

After being so calm for a while, the nameless fire in his heart finally subsided a lot.

I also began to think in my mind if Rajdad really died. The situation in Khorezm is most likely to go.

First of all, there is no doubt that Mahamat will put down the rebellion and unify Khorezm.

It's just that exactly when, but it's debatable.

If there are no accidents, it should be before the beginning of spring next year at the latest. Because at that time, the temperature rises and the snow melts. The adverse effects of the weather on the army were minimized.

But at this time, the war horse is the critical period of the year to grow fat. It is not only war horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock, but also the same.

After all, the rest of everything in winter is tantamount to an adventure of life for the creatures on the grassland. Many livestock freeze to death in the harsh wind and snow. As a result, many small tribes have starved to death.

Even if they survived, the livestock was very weak. When the war horse loses fat, the whole spirit will become sluggish. When it comes to the battlefield, it is difficult to improve combat effectiveness.

And most of the children on the grassland are horse lovers. So it's hard to say that Mahamat would go his own way!

But Lee Seungji believes that Mahamat will definitely go his own way. Because Kirti is more than 100 miles southeast of Yulong Jiechi, close to the Amu Darya River. Ride a fast horse and it can be reached in half a day. And the rebels are leaderless, which is a good time to attack. In line with the principle that war horses can be raised again and fighters are difficult to find, we will not let go of this great opportunity.

In this way, the time for the end of the civil strife in Khorezm may not be able to wait for the spring of the following year.

And then according to Mahamad's ambition. When this civil strife is settled, it will expand its army to the east.

Originally, before the civil strife, he wanted to set foot in the river. Later, stealing chickens and rice was not only driven out of the river, but even his mother was lost. Now half of Khorasan is also out of control.

As long as he doesn't change his temper, he will ask for it back. And Li Chengji is something that he eats in his mouth, and there is no reason to spit it out.

Especially Khorasan, which connects the east and the west, and connects the north and the south. The trade routes are developed, and the water and grass are abundant.

Therefore, when the time comes, the territorial battle between the Khorasan Governor's Palace and Khorezm will inevitably be inevitable.

In fact, this result has always been expected by Lee Seungji.

Because of the civil strife in Khorezm, there will always be an end one day. Whether Mahamat wins or Rajad wins, it will be in sharp opposition to the Governor's Palace of Khorasan.

This is determined by the national interests of Khorezm! Even if Mahamat or Rajad did not want to, the officials below would force them to take this step.

It's just that according to the inertia of history, Li Chengji is more inclined to win Mahamat. Therefore, according to his ambition, even if he gave up Nishapur, Amu and other counties, he could not get his forgiveness.

Not only that, but Mahamat thought that the Governor's Office of Khorasan was weak, but he was even more determined to be an enemy of the Governor's Palace.

This is the principle of survival in Central Asia! Only a ferocious tribe or state can make all kinds of forces with ulterior motives inside and outside be afraid of it and not dare to act rashly.

However, Li Chengji originally thought that the time for the civil strife in Khorezm to end would at least take some time. At least, it will not end until the overall situation in Khorasan has been decided.

Therefore, he also informed the affairs department of Khorezm that he must do everything in his power to maintain a certain balance of power between the two sides. At the same time that Mahamat was besieged by the city, a merchant disguised by the Ministry of Affairs secretly transported grain and grass to the city.

So that Mahamat could hold out longer under the siege of Rajad.

and contact the horse bandits in the lower Amu Darya valley, so that they frequently plundered the grain and grass of the rebels. In order to get more horse bandits involved, the Affairs Division also disguised themselves as horse bandits and robbed them personally. With real gains, let the horse bandits be willing to take risks.

Although the rebels did not hurt their bones and bones, to a certain extent, the rebels had to divide their forces to guard the grain routes and disperse the rebels' forces.

At the time of the siege, the pressure on Mahamat was relieved.

It's a pity that Li Chengji still underestimated Mahama. Indeed, it should be underestimated the ability of the Assasins. Even though the letter did not say it, the Assassin was a follower of the Old Man of the Mountain. However, with the Assasin faction's habit of assassinating the leaders of major forces and gaining fame and fortune, it is extremely likely that this matter was committed by the Assasin faction.

"Hey!" , sighed, Li Chengji sighed a little. The heroes of this era really can't be taken too lightly. Originally, he could still look at them with enough vigilance, but a series of successes in the river and Khorasan made him unconsciously give birth to a contempt that everyone could play with.

Therefore, I delusionally think that the situation in Khorezm can be completely controlled by myself. The same is true of the Great Liao and the Qarakhanid. Even with Mongolia, there is much less vigilance.

Now that I think about it, I couldn't have been more wrong.

"It seems that success came too easily, and it is not a good thing!" , Li Chengji cried and laughed, and drank the tea in one gulp.
