When Lee Seung-ji came, it was late on the third day. During this period, there was a delay because the vast hinterland of Khorezm and the Kipchak steppe was waiting to be received.

Good thing there is no big trouble there either! After all, neither Khorezm nor the Kipchak steppe has formed resistance forces. Therefore, to receive there, it is enough to send only a deterrent army. For this reason, Lee Seung-ji sent Ahura, who had just returned, out.

This is also his selfishness! Because Ahura returned as a veteran of Khorasan, he instantly sat in a high position. This is actually somewhat unfair to the growing ranks of Khorasan generals who speak for their military exploits.

But not promoting Ahura will chill the hearts of those veterans who followed first. Therefore, in the shortest possible time, it is the most appropriate solution for Ahura to compete for enough military merit to sit in a high position.

The credit for this white pick was also given to Ahura by Li Chengji.

At the moment of coming to the foothills of the Kyrgyz Mountains, more than 20 tribes have gathered around the military camp. And most of them are old and weak, women and children, and few are young and strong. As Li Chengji's special 'guest', Mahamat also marched with the army all the way. Including those who surrendered to the army, they were all taken to Liaobei by Li Chengji.

Along the way, the surrendering armies had gradually adapted to the marching discipline of Khorasan on the basis of integration. The receipt and transmission of various instructions are also becoming smoother and smoother. Although it is specific to the operation, the result is not yet visible. But the uniform pace of the march still makes people see the shadow of a strong army.

"King Shun An, what do you think of the army?" , Li Chengji rode a tall horse and asked with a smile to the king of Khorasan Shun'an, Mahamat, who was not far away. Since the capture of Mahamat , Li Chengji has been treating Mahamat well on the surface out of the intention of encircling the high-level leaders of Khorezm.

This is also the meaning of the Khorasan high-top!

After all, Mahamat was the sultan of Khorezm and had a certain prestige. Killing him rashly will inevitably cause instability among the people of Khorezm. If it's on the battlefield, kill it, and you're not afraid of any mess. It's a pity that Mahamat was dedicated to Lee Seungji by Shir-Ud, when he spoke to the outside world. It was also in the name of Mahamat's surrender to Khorasan that Shir-Ud succeeded in subduing Khorezm's army.

Therefore, the banner of Mahamat is the best banner to subdue Khorezm and the Kipchak steppe. When these two places are not settled, Mahamat cannot die.

Knowing his use value, Mahamat seems to have lived a lot more freely. has always been cold-faced to Li Chengji, and he is not worried about losing his life at all.

Listening to Li Chengji's words at this moment, Mahama only pretended not to hear it. Li Chengji was not annoyed, and continued: "Doesn't King Shun'an dare to agree? If both Kipchak and Khorezm men serve my Khorasan, there will definitely be more strong and strong armies! ”。

"The lord of the country is wise and powerful, I, Khorasan will definitely subdue the four seas, and the eight desolations will ······ shock", Amin, who has become a member of the Counsellor's Department, hurriedly spoke out. Some other Khorezm officials also echoed it.

When Mahamat listened, he felt that it was particularly harsh. He glanced to the side, not bothering to look at these former ministers. Li Chengji smiled and said loudly: "Okay! Needless to say, there is no need to say more. Our Khorasan training army is different from other countries, so on the battlefield, we can also show strong force. Instead of a group of stragglers, they ······ with a ruthless force".

Amin immediately nodded yes. The nodding and hunching look looks like a pug.

Who would have thought that just a few days ago, Amin still looked like a loyal minister who was not afraid of the old master's bones. But at the moment when the knife was pressed to the neck, he immediately bent down his spine.

Now he has changed the court, and he is very attentive to Li Chengji.

At this time, the sound of clattering horses' hooves came from ahead. I saw Li Chengye leading a team of generals and hurried to the front.

"Meet the Lord!" , Li Chengye and the generals knelt down together.

"Get up!" As Li Chengji spoke, he asked out loud: "You wrote to say that there are a large number of tribal people here who are in urgent need of relief. What's going on now? ”。

In front of outsiders, Li Chengye is just Li Chengji's courtier. Therefore, there was no slightest, and he said: "At present, there are six out of twenty tribes and more than 20,000 people. Another 5,000 fugitives have been settled. However, according to the fugitives, there are still a large number of fugitives near the desert to the north. It's just a little farther away, and it's not yet there. ”。

When Li Chengji heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Now the whole territory of the old Liao is under the rule of Khorasan, and the people of all tribes are the people of my Khorasan. When they are in trouble, we will help them. Speaking of which, Li Chengji ordered someone to bring the tribal chieftains captured in Talas City.

These people were coerced away by the barbarians before! Later, he did not experience much fighting in Talas City, so most of them survived. After Lee Seung-ji arrived in the city of Talas, these captured tribes were willing to pledge allegiance to Khorasan. This time he went to Balasagon and brought them with them.

Soon, several local tribal chiefs were brought. When they saw Li Chengji, they all looked respectful. Li Chengji glanced at them and asked them to go near the barracks to identify their respective tribes. At the same time, Khorasan's policy of treating the people favorably was repeated, and the tribal chiefs were grateful.

When he arrived at the barracks, Li Chengji asked the army to rest for one night. Early the next morning, the whole army was set out again. But that night, a fire broke out in the tribal tent outside the barracks. Fortunately, it was detected early, so it did not spread widely.

"Lord of the Kingdom! The matter has been investigated. It is the black water department that lights it with fire oil. As a result, oil was spilled, causing a fire. Wang Gui, the former master of the Great Liao Hall of the Affairs Division, bowed down and said. After the heavy defeat of Balasagon's stronghold, he became the new head of the Daliao stronghold of the Affairs Division.

With the turmoil in Daliao, the work of the Affairs Division has also progressed quite smoothly. Many talented and capable Liao officials took refuge in Daliao under the persuasion of the Department of Affairs. It's just that Balasagon is too chaotic, so the stronghold has always been set up in Talas. Now that Li Chengji has arrived in Balasagun, Li Dayi has taken advantage of the situation to move his stronghold.

Listening to Wang Gui's report at this moment, Li Chengji frowned and said: "Fire oil is a military thing, how can the Black Water Department have fire oil?" ”。 The others also had puzzled faces, waiting for Wang Gui's explanation.

"The lord of the country doesn't know! There is a large lake where the Black Water Department is located, and there is often a gushing out of the oil. And there are also a lot of black stones, which can be used to make fires. ”。

"Isn't that an oil field? Black stone makes fire, and it must be coal. That's a good thing! Li Chengji laughed. Later, he asked Xiaozi again and learned that there are a lot of minerals near the Kyrgyz Mountains. And there is a complete range of minerals to meet almost all industrial needs.
