On the way back to the city, Ali Bura, Zhang Timing, Guo Huai and Li Chengji took the same car. And Shi Mo Min'an and they stayed in the manor to rest under the kind invitation of Li Shichang.

"Secretary Guo, you have a good relationship with Shi Mo Min'an, do you know what they mean about the land of Khorasan?" , although Shi Mo Min'an and their trip were clearly here to take refuge. But Li Chengji still wants to know how sincere there is in this.

In the end, because of Li Shichang, Shi Mo Min'an and their refuge inevitably brought some friendship.

Knowing that he was talking about official business, Guo Huai also had a straight face and reported: "Fortunately, the lord of the country is benevolent, and the land of Khorasan is rich and the people are safe." Shi Mo and others also saw it in their eyes. Therefore, with a sincere heart, he served the lord of the country. ”。

Zhang Timing saw that Li Chengji's face did not change much, so he knew that he was not satisfied with this answer. He answered: "Don't worry too much, the lord of the country. Shi Mo Min'an and others have a very good personal relationship with the king of the river, and they are reasonable people. Khorasan is a prosperous elephant, and the sun sets in the western mountains of Daliao. They will understand what to choose.

It's the intention of Ba Rahei and Ha Mi Bu'er, and the lord of the country should pay attention to one or two. ”。

If there was no Li Chengji, the spoiler, Ba Rahei and Hami Bu'er would have surrendered to Khorezm after the overthrow of Daliao. And at the time of the Mongol expedition to the west, the Erman Empire was established in Qierman. In the history books, this empire is also known as the Later Western Liao.

Nominally, however, it was a vassal of the Mongols.

But now, they naturally have no chance.

Hearing this, Lee Seungji shifted his gaze to Ali Bura.

"Governor Qiqi, they really came to ask for help on the order of Tayang Valley." Ali Bura understood what Li Chengji meant, and continued: "Now the Khorezm people are angry and angry about the killing of the envoy in Tayang Valley. Therefore, small groups of men and horses were constantly sent to invade the land of Sogdia. In the vicinity of Chachi and Khujand city, Kipchak tribes also continued to appear. Not only did they loot in the surrounding areas, but they also set fires to them. Many crops and pastures were burned to the ground. ”。

"And how does he want me to help them?" , Li Chengji said indifferently.

"Troops!" ，

"No! You can't send troops! Without waiting for Ali Bura to finish speaking, Zhang Timing categorically refused: "The current war in Gur is critical, and we must not send troops to the north." ”。

Ali Bula quickly shook his head and explained, "Zhang Da Diwan has misunderstood! The Tayang Valley said that the army was sent to let the soldiers and horses of Khorasan capture the land of Khorezm. This made it difficult to take care of the end and discouraged the ambition to conquer the land of Sogdia. ”。

Ferghana was formerly the territory of the Sogdians, and during the height of the Abbasids, a Sogdian province was established. Although the province is now abandoned, the old name is still retained.

Zhang Timing still objected: "The United Front Work Department and the General Staff Department have already had countermeasures, and everything is mainly based on the Gur war. Therefore, the matter of sending troops to Khorezm is still a long-term consideration. ”。

Guo Huai also felt that sending troops to Khorezm was too risky, so it was not advisable.

Li Chengji is not stupid, so naturally he will not send troops to Khorezm at this time. First, it disrupted the plan of the cathar army to defend the north and attack the south; Second, if you help Tayang Valley, the land of Ferghana will not fall into your hands so easily; Three times Khorezm was defeated, and Da Liao couldn't say that he could survive for a few years.

This is not in line with Li Chengji's original intention, so there is no possibility of negotiation.

Ali Bura is also not in favor! So in this matter, there is no insistence either.

A few days later, good news came from the land of Gul. It is said that Kepoli was finally captured under the joint attack of the Persian army and the first army. The army of Gitzni in the city also died and surrendered.

In addition, the army led by the great Diwan of the military department also went all the way north and came to the city of Jicini.

In this way, the land of Gul has not been conquered in the southeast corner!

Li Chengji was a little surprised by this result. Because in his impression, the war will take at least half a year to end. But looking at it now, I'm afraid it won't take three months.

It was also he who overestimated the military power of the land of Gur! In my heart, I always thought that the Gur people would rely on the danger of mountains and rivers to resist desperately for a while.

The officials of the United Front Work Department and the General Staff Department did not expect this result. After all, Khorezm and Da Liao did not attack the Gul Empire. But there were so many battles, and they never entered the mainland of Gur.

So it's surprising that the war is going so smoothly now.

This made Li Chengji also firm in his mind to go south. It happened that the county guard of Banseong County asked the superintendent to send craftsmen to build the salt works on the grounds that a large salt bed had been found in the territory. Li Chengji took advantage of this reason to reward the three-way army in Bancheng County.

As long as Li Chengji doesn't go, Zhang Timing and they are willing to make concessions. He no longer hindered and let Li Chengji move to Bancheng County.

However, before leaving, Li Chengji appointed the heads of the three departments of households, officials, and criminal punishment to jointly deal with the political affairs of Khorasan. In the event of a controversial matter, a vote may be taken. and appointed Shi Mo Min'an as the Ministry of Rites Di Wan, temporarily serving as the Great Di Wan. and the Ministry of Works, Diwan Flat, was promoted to the Great Diwan.

In this way, the chief officer of the six departments is basically complete.

Wang Yinzhi and Sun Ji were added to the General Staff Department and served as counselors.

For Sun Ji, it is naturally best to be in the army. But at present, the generals of all departments in the army are basically from the apologetic army. Although Timur's destruction was an accident, it did not belong to the original system of the three major legions of the apologetic army.

So Sun Ji's placement is really difficult to handle.

In the end, his status is not low, and if he enters the three major legions, it is naturally impossible to start as a small soldier. But then it will inevitably affect the transparent promotion system of the cathars. In the long run, it will do more harm than good.

And the Persian legion is basically full. Therefore, after thinking about it, he could only place Sun Ji in the General Staff Division first. Wait for it to expand its army in the future, and then make arrangements.

Such an appointment, whether it is Shi Mo Min'an or Wang Yinzhi, is happy to accept it. Because they all know that they are new to the city. If the status is too high all of a sudden, it is easy to arouse the jealousy of those who have a heart.

Although in the court, no one dared to deliberately conceive and assassinate under Li Chengji's nose. However, when dealing with government affairs in the future, it is inevitable to deliberately wear small shoes.

They also knew about this kind of method, so they were a little cautious.

However, speaking of which, Guo Huai was originally likely to serve as the Great Diwan of the Ministry of Rites. After all, he took refuge earlier than Shi Mo Min'an and them, and it should be so.

But Guo Huai refused to accept it, and recommended Shi Mo Min'an. When Shi Mo Min'an was in Daliao, he was the chief official in terms of etiquette. Now serving as the Great Diwan of the Ministry of Rites, he can be regarded as making the best use of his talents. Second, he was born as a speech official, and the Inspection Department was the most suitable for him.

In addition, he has a good relationship with Shimo Min'an, and he entered Khorasan as an official, which can be regarded as a faction.

So in the face of the temptation of the position of the Great Diwan, he still kept his sanity.

Li Chengji wanted to compensate, so he transferred the Supervision Department from the Criminal Department to the Ministry of Rites. He was also appointed as Di Wan, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Supervision Department.

Although they are under Da Diwan, working together with Shi Mo Min'an is conducive to the two of them controlling the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, the chief officials of the Great Liao faction in the six departments are Zhang Timing and Shi Mo Min'an, the Persian line has Flat, the Puhua line has Alzimi, and the Khorasan line has Alibula.

As for the military department's great Di Wan Li atmosphere, because of his special status. On weekdays, he is not close to the chief officials of various ministries. So in the six parts, it can be regarded as a transcendent status.

But on the bright side, Liao officials are still powerful. This is a great help to the old officials of Daliao to take refuge.

(Sorry, something went wrong today.) Three watches in the next two days will be regarded as compensation. ）
