Chapter 167: Desert City

Therefore, no matter what, he must maintain his position.

Li Chengji quietly looked at Mahamat with a look like a chameleon, frowning for a while, and looking depressed for a while. In my heart, I thought differently.

In fact, if you think about it from the moment, whether you make a deal with Rajad or a deal with Mahamat, the result is the same. And to some extent, making a deal with Rajad can also take Amu City into your hands faster.

For after the loss of news from Mahamat, the governors of the cities of Khorezm had openly and covertly expressed their loyalty to Rajad, who was in the limelight.

But Lee Seung-ji is considering a longer-term plan.

Like Rajad, in the annals of history, the reputation is not obvious. However, Mahamat left a strong mark in the annals of Central Asian history.

Therefore, in terms of understanding, Li Chengji is more at ease with Mahama.

Of course, it is very inappropriate for a generation of male lords like this to be delusional and controlling. Therefore, Lee Seung-ji chose to cooperate! Use Amu City as a bargaining chip to ensure that Mahamat returns to Khorezm smoothly.

As for Mahamat's perfidy, Li Chengji is not afraid.

Because of the existence of Turkhan Khotun, Rajad is not so easy to do. And as long as his power does not fall, then Mahamat will never be able to spare his energy and deal with foreign enemies with all his might.

Li Chengji is not afraid of Mahamat waiting for an opportunity to take revenge and take back his mother.

What's more, with the fall of Da Liao, Khorezm has contributed a lot. Later, the Mongolian expedition to the west was also caused by Khorezm.

Li Chengji knew that with his own strength, in just a few years, he would not be able to bring down the Great Liao. In terms of identity, he is also inappropriate. Therefore, let Khorezmo contribute, and he can still be happy to see it.

And the rising Mongolia is a master who eats meat and does not spit out bones! As long as the other party is weaker than himself, he will not hesitate to annex it. Li Chengji did not want to have a hard encounter with Mongolia, and he did not want to be annexed by Mongolia.

Then only with the help of external forces can Mongolia be feared.

This Kwarazmo couldn't be more suitable.

The so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman! Li Chengji just wanted to watch the fighting methods of the two sides, and then develop silently. It is good to accumulate strength, so that no party dares to underestimate itself.

Although this situation will not be realized for many years. But those who are in high positions must be able to take one step and see ten steps. Therefore, it is very necessary to take precautions.

While he was thinking about this, Mahamat's expression had calmed down. Just looked at Li Chengji, and said with some disbelief: "Are you really only sixteen years old?" ”。

If it weren't for the immaturity on Li Chengji's face, Mahamo would have been hard to believe. Such a thoughtful young man would only be sixteen years old.

Li Chengji modestly gave a Muslim salute and said loudly: "The eyes of the Sultan can't deceive him. ”。 He believed that Mahamat had already sent someone to find out his details. So asking this question now is just a kind of emotional catharsis.

In the end, his appearance can't deceive people.

It's just that if you cut open his heart, you will definitely find another soul living there. But in the past few years, Li Chengji has been getting used to his changes little by little. Although the process is comparatively slow. But subtly, it is the most acceptable.

Even Li Shichang and other people close to him will not notice anything.

After pretending to be young and ignorant for so long, now I can slowly tear off the veil of hypocrisy and be my true self.

In Li Chengji's heart, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Mahamat looked away slightly, took a deep breath, and returned to the previous topic: "If I promise, can you really ensure that I return to Khorezm safely?" ”。

He had already expected that when Rajad learned that he was still alive, he would not be overjoyed, but could not wait to kill himself. The dangers encountered along the way were also unpredictable.

If there is no one to protect him, he will not be able to go back to Khorezm.

Li Chengji did not answer explicitly, but only asked: "If the Sultan does not believe it, can he have any other choice?" ”。

Mahamat's face instantly darkened, and he stopped asking.

After all, with the current situation, he really has no way to retreat.

One day later, the dedication of the Sultan of Khorezm to the governor's palace of Khorasan was dissolved.

When the forces of all parties still did not believe it, at the celebration banquet of the Governor's Palace, Mahamat was proudly present. And in front of the public, he expressed his guilt and remorse for the suzerain, Da Liao.

Li Chengji also said in person that he would let the Great Liao Zhongshu Ling, his own father Li Shichang, convey Mahamat's remorse to Juer Khan.

Since the focus of all forces was on Mahamat, when Lee Seungji announced the annexation of Nahasabhu County to Khorasan Province, it did not attract much attention. Even the Western Qarakhanid did not care about this.

It's as if the black sand doesn't have anything to do with me at all.

In the following days, Khorezm's side exploded. Not only did Turhan Khotun send people to send huge gifts to inquire about the news. Even Rajad also sent people to the door in a hurry to inquire about the meaning of the governor's palace.

Even Da Liao's side sent people to urge. Let Li Chengji hurry up and send Mahamat to Balasagon to plead guilty. But soon, his father Li Shichang asked the officials who were good at advocacy to resign and return to their hometowns.

Subsequently, there was no movement on the Da Liao side.

On the occasion of the Great Karakum Desert. Looking at thousands of miles, there are countless golden sand seas. The oases are dotted along the jade-like Amu Darya River and dotted in a sea of golden sand.

A city covering an area of 20 miles and full of people is located on the banks of the Amu Darya River. The lush woods are hidden in the radius of Amu City. So that the vast sea of sand is isolated.

The scenery of paradise also arises spontaneously.

This is Mother City! In later generations, it was also known as Charju. Located on the lower left bank of the Amu Darya River, it is an important port city. In the Great Karakum Desert, it is one of the few cities with abundant water.

In 1999, it was officially changed to Turkmenabat. Whether it is Mother or Charzhu, they have slowly disappeared into people's memories with the long river of history.

At present, under the painstaking management of two generations of Khwarezm sultans, the city of Amu has gradually become the second largest city in Turkmenistan in later generations. The high earth-colored city walls reflect a cold glow in the harsh sunlight.

Less than twenty miles away, Li Gao was leading 10,000 Guardian troops, walking briskly along the spacious official road, towards Amu City. All of them rode tall horses and wore iron armor. Running in unison, it was really like a tiger and a tiger.
