Chapter 446: The Stepping Stone

In my opinion, even if there is, the gods will only bless the lord of Khorasan, Li Chengji. You see, he is a great benevolent ruler, and the people of the land are rich. Such a good lord is hard to find with a lantern. โ€ใ€‚

Speaking of which, Dong Bo is not easy to refute. Because what Li Chengji did was indeed praised. Even at the moment, Khorasan is closed to the border and they are not allowed to enter the country. But the food and water distributed every day were still enough to make them grateful.

After all, without these things, most of the more than 100,000 people gathered in Guankou Town would have starved to death.

But Har saw that Uncle Dong was deflated, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Then Brother Dong, are there rumors that when will the army arrive in Puhua?" โ€ใ€‚

"This - I'm not convinced either. It's all hearsay, and I can't count them. However, I heard that a notice was posted outside the town of Guankou, which was about the army going north. It's a pity that there are so many onlookers there that I can't squeeze in. Dong Quan ate two mountain roots in a row, touched his still deflated stomach, and said a little embarrassed.

Dong Bo patted Dong Quan's head and said a little angrily: "You stupid boy, don't you know to ask someone who has seen it?" What do you do by squeezing in? You are illiterate. Even if you put a notice on your head, you won't be able to see an idea. โ€ใ€‚

"Ahh Why didn't Daddy say it earlier? Dong Quan scratched his greasy curly hair and said with some remorse.

Dong Bo was even more angry, and scolded loudly: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and ask! โ€ใ€‚

Dong Quan immediately said goodbye to Kehar and hurried back to the pass.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun was suddenly obscured by a few dense clouds. A cool breeze blew, making it difficult for the listless refugees to feel a little cool.

"Quick! Get the water out, it's going to rain! Dong Bo saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and said with great joy.

Although it doesn't rain long in the river, there are still a few times a year. So as soon as Dong Bo saw the clouds thickening, he knew that it was going to rain.

Boom Boom Boom ยท A few muffled thunderbolts came from the clouds. Many people who are not sure of it have more expectations in their hearts.

In Guankou Town, Zhang Timing was counting supplies in a big tent. These were all transferred from elsewhere to accommodate the refugees waiting outside. At this moment, I heard the faint sound of thunder, and my thoughts couldn't help but be interrupted.

He stretched out his arm and got up and walked out of the tent.

"Great Diwan!" , several border soldiers who protected him, immediately saluted. Due to the regulations of Khorasan, civil and military officials were not allowed to keep private soldiers in captivity. Therefore, when Zhang Timing travels, there is no guard. But the family can do it.

It's just that this time I went to Puhua, and I came in a hurry. Many times, it is too late to prepare. And because the refugee matter is imminent, it needs to be dealt with urgently. So he didn't have the heart to take care of himself, let alone bring his family.

took a breath, and his head, which was originally a little muddy, was unconsciously sobered up a lot. Just the breeze is blowing, which makes the mental burden of the past few days also lighter.

"How's the tent going?" , came to the pasture southeast of Guankou Town, where a large gray-white tent had been stationed. It just so happened that the official in charge of the placement saw Zhang Timing coming, and hurriedly came over to greet him.

"Back to Da Diwan, the 20,000 big tents that were urgently transferred have all been tied. And according to the command of the great Divan, every hundred tents was a battalion, and the total was divided into a hundred battalions. Coupled with the more than 7,000 large tents kept by Guankou Town and Puhua, there are a total of 27,826 tents. The official thought and said respectfully.

Zhang Timing is the great Diwan of Khorasan's household, where can he, a small official in a town, cling to. Not to mention talking, even meeting is basically impossible. Now Zhang Timing suddenly landed at the pass, and he was fortunate to work under him. Such an opportunity makes him wake up with a smile in his dreams.

So although he was quite tired from camping in the past few days, he still did his best. I hope that Zhang Timing can see his performance and treat him differently.

has been in the officialdom for many years, and Zhang Timing also came from the bottom. Naturally, I know the thoughts of these low-level officials. He nodded approvingly and responded, "Hmm! With these big tents, the people outside the gate do not have to sleep in the open. Your great work, the officials will know. โ€ใ€‚

The official held back the ecstasy in his heart and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be.

Seeing his interest, Zhang Timing's words also increased. Then he said, "By the way, what's your name?" โ€ใ€‚

"The villain's humble name - Tim buys and buys, how can he enter the ears of the great Diwan!" , although he was humble, he still reported his name.

Zhang Timing smiled and responded: "Khorasan does not judge the merits of the tribe and status, and the name is the same, so don't be too humble." โ€ใ€‚

Tim Maimai hurriedly answered a few yes and followed closely behind Zhang Timing.

This time, I came to the border not only because of refugees. In the end, there is a master-slave relationship between Da Liao and Khorasan. Coupled with the political system of the Great Liao, many of them are borrowed from the Great Liao. Therefore, from the cultural context, it is difficult to part with the two.

What's more, among the officials of the Great Liao, almost all of the upper ruling class are from the Great Liao. Therefore, there has been a change in Daliao, and it is difficult for the old officials of Daliao in Khorasan to stay out of the matter.

Of course, the most important thing is that Khorasan has the ambition to inherit the Great Liao Kingdom.

Although in public, Lee Seungji has never blatantly revealed his ambitions. But at the few banquets in the Li Mansion, Guo Huai and the others asked sideways. With a clear mind, he naturally understood Li Chengji's thoughts.

Therefore, this time the Great Liao mutation, Zhang Timing, who stayed behind, found an unavoidable opportunity at a glance.

After all, the Great Liao has dominated the Western Regions for half a century! The so-called shadow of a man, the name of a tree. Even if Da Liao goes downhill, it is even about to perish. But in the eyes of some tribes or forces that are backward in information, Da Liao is still a behemoth.

More importantly, stepping on the throne of Da Liao is the best stepping stone for Khorasan to become a great power. Some forces that were interested in opposing Khorasan had no choice but to put away their minds and show their submission. This is not only to oppress people with power, but also to surrender people without a fight.

For this reason, the six remaining Diwan discussed and finally decided to let Zhang Timing go north to the pass in the name of resettle refugees. During this period, he was in charge of refugee affairs while waiting for the army to go north. Fortunately, at the right time, troops were sent to the river to pacify the chaos in Daliao.

It's just a matter of starting a war, which requires Lee Seungji's approval. So now I am just making preparations and waiting for Lee Seungji's letter. In addition, it is also beneficial to Khorasan to let the Western Qarakhanid and the Great Liao be in turmoil for a period of time.

Because as the old saying goes: the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind! Khorasan needs to be the yellow finch and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
