Outside the city of Khujand, there are a forest of swords and guns. The endless sea of people stretches from the banks of the Kuzhang River. This is the army of Khorasan! Among them were 60,000 cathars and 20,000 border troops. Another 20,000 soldiers and horses were on their way.

After the restoration of the river, the main forces of the Guardian Army were drawn one after another. And in accordance with the advice of the General Staff Division, only the Khuzhan was blocked, and the way back to Khorezm was blocked.

So the cathars have been waiting here for some time.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the special geographical location of Khujand. It is located at the exit of the Fergana Valley and is the easiest access to the Pakhana region. Therefore, for thousands of years, this place has been a necessary place for business travelers.

As a result, the city of Khujand was established during the reign of Alexander the Great, King of Macedon. And after the rule of the Persian Empire and the Abbasid Empire, it has continued to the present. Outside of the city of Sijian, Khujand is the largest city in the land of Bathhanna.

At present, there are more than 80,000 people, and there are several towns outside the city. Taken together, it has exceeded 100,000. However, after the recent war, there was a certain exodus of the population. So at present, the population of the whole city is only about 50,000.

Originally, this place was captured by Khorezm! However, as soon as the cathars came, the former Liao army guards in the city killed the Khorezm prison army and surrendered to the cathars. Therefore, the change of hands of the entire city of Khujand was not a matter of effort.

It's just that Khujand City is not big in the end, and the place at the mouth of the valley is also relatively open. Therefore, just defending the city of Khujand is not enough to annihilate all the Khorezm armies. After close discussion with the generals, the General Staff finally decided. Outside the city of Khujand, the army of Khorezm was completely annihilated in a battle.

If this is the case! In the future of the territory of Daliao, Khorasan will be invincible. Because Khorezm is the only force that has the strength to fight Khorasan so far. If it is also defeated, the other small forces will not be able to resist at all. This will undoubtedly be a great help to Khorasan's next unification plan.

Therefore, after Li Chengji learned of the general staff's battle plan, he agreed without objection.

Of course, this is not to say that Khorasan has to give up all his advantages and fight for his life with Khorezm! After all, it is beneficial for Khorasan to kill one more enemy soldier and one less to kill one's own army. Therefore, the cathars are stationed on the banks of the Kuzhang River!

If Khorezm's army were to return to the Kipchak steppe, they would have to cross the river. In this way, the cathars have more advantages to take advantage of.

It is to see the danger in it! The entire army of Khorezm in a hurry stopped.

At the moment of the Khorezm Chinese army, on a huge chariot, Amin, Shir-Ud and others were waiting for Mahamat's orders. This is a long time ago, imitating the chariot of the Great Liao. This time I attacked southern Liaoning, so I went along.

I have to say that this chariot is indeed majestic and majestic from the outside. And learned the law of the Liao lord, and also made a canopy on the chariot. Therefore, in the entire army of Khorezm, it is very eye-catching.

"Sultan, the Khorasan army is close at hand, whether it is war or peace, can you get an idea?" , Amin pleaded. As early as when he was in the West, he advocated taking the Westkey and fighting Khorasan to the end. But Mahamat was shocked by the news of the defeat in the river! As soon as they heard the news, they made the decision to withdraw the whole army to the west.

Although Amin also understands! Even if he won the city of Xijian, the battle with Khorasan would be more defeated than won. But at this time, the situation will only be more unfavorable to Khorezm. Moreover, he had long deduced that Khorasan was very likely to get stuck when he attacked.

It is a pity that Mahamat was intimidated by the great victory in Khorasan and lost his mind to fight. Only some soldiers and horses were sent to strengthen the garrison of Khujand in advance. At the same time, the pace of movement was intensified, hoping to withdraw to the Kipchak steppe before the arrival of the Khorasan army.

But now the Khorasan army is blocked on the other side of the river!

It can be regarded as smashing all the fantasies before Mahamat into pieces.

So Amin and the generals discussed and decided to negotiate peace with Khorasan first. In order to keep the last family foundation of Khorezm at the lowest cost.

But this requires Mahamat's approval! So all the people came and asked for their lives, hoping for Mahamat's answer.

It's just that Mahamat doesn't seem to care about this matter. Or rather, he didn't think Khorasan would let go of this great opportunity to annihilate Khorezm.

It's been a few years since he was in power! In the past, when he was a prince, he also sharpened himself in the barracks. Therefore, although there are flaws in the character, there is still a basic strategic vision. He hesitated for a long time, and then said loudly: "Defeated, defeated!" We're going to die! ”。

Probably discouraged! Therefore, I couldn't help but feel sad and said these words that had no fighting spirit and even affected the morale of the army.

If it were an ordinary person, Amin and the generals would have ordered someone to drag them down and cut them down. But this is their sultan, their king, and no one has the guts to do so. Then Amin said with a crying voice: "Sultan! Why did you say such things that shook the hearts of the army? Although the success of peace talks is very small, it is not impossible. As long as we are given what Khorasan wants, it is not impossible for us in Khorezm to return to the Kipchak steppe. ”。

Ali Shir-Ude also helped: "Yes! That Khorasan is a country founded by commerce and a country by military. The most important thing is to value business over righteousness! As long as we satisfy their appetites, it is not impossible to return to the Kipchak steppe. ”。

Other generals who agreed also echoed it.

This was what they had agreed upon when they came, and now that they have responded to the call, it seems that peace talks have become the only way out. There are also some generals who do not agree with the peace talks, or believe that the peace talks will not succeed at all. But they also know that if they continue to fight Khorezm, it will probably be a dead end! Therefore, they can only agree to peace talks.

In fact, Khorezm is not without the power of a fight!

Like at present, Khorezm has more than 20,000 Ghulam troops and more than 30,000 elite veterans! There were also tribal troops requisitioned from the Kipchak steppe, also 60,000 people. Compared to the Khorasan army, the number of people also had a faint advantage.

But Khorasan's prestige is too great! Since the first battle of Puhua, he has never been defeated. So much so that many people feel that the Khorasan army will never fail.

The generals of the various battalions of Khorezm unconsciously became timid towards Khorasan. This is psychological suggestion in psychology! This is the reason for the soldiers on the battlefield who surrender without a fight.

Moreover, the boundaries of the Western Regions are the most fearful of power and virtue. Therefore, when an army becomes an undefeated army, many local forces cannot be born to disobey.

In addition, at this moment, the Sultan Mahamat of Khorezm felt that Khorezm was defeated. The generals below will not have confidence in this battle.
