Li Kou never thought that he was a learned person in Cao Xiu's mind.

For this reason, Li Kou specially asked Huang Shu to buy a roast goose for Cao Xiu and gave two catties of wine.

Cao Xiu looked sideways, what should this guy pay attention to?

Huang Shu said in a vicious voice: "It's really cheap, you dog thief!" ”

He was a veteran soldier who died on the battlefield, and of course he didn't have a good impression of the Tangut people.

He even reluctantly said to Li Kou: "What good food does Lang Jun give this guy, and those few distant blockers......

Li Kou said: "Could it be that they have the backbone to refuse to eat the food of my Han people?" ”

No.

"They want to see Lang Jun and ask why they are given white flour steamed buns." Huang Shu didn't understand this either.

Li Kou said: "They are barbarians, and we should be them?" One day the world will be unified, and everyone will be their own people, but before that, it was still a clash of iron and blood, and there are some things that others are unwilling to do, and we will do them, such as striving for victory, such as giving preferential treatment to prisoners. We don't ask them to repent, to be slaves to us, to meet on the battlefield with iron horses, swords and guns, after the battle, they are the losers, we are the victors, under the premise of conditions, give them something good to eat. ”

But he also said: "I heard Jiang Zhisi say that there are a few people in the prison who are very flattering to the Liao people, who are they? ”

Cao Xiu sneered: "How can there be few people in the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia people who see the Khitan people like Tai Sui? ”

"Tell Murong Zhixian to let him watch it, I don't want to see such a person." Li Kou said, "You go and tell them that I don't mind letting the captives I capture eat a little better, and you don't have to be grateful to me, and you don't have to suspect that I have any conspiracy against them, they may be dogs under the hands of the Khitans, and I am willing to treat them as human beings, even if it is only temporary." ”

Cao Xiuda was surprised, is this guy really a bright person?

Li Kou said: "Brother Cao doesn't have to guess, you have enough to eat and drink, you can find another chance to escape, on the battlefield, I killed you with a knife and a gun, a bow and arrow killed you, that is you became my enemy." If I am slain by you, I should be, I am your enemy. You are my captive in this room, leave this room, maybe you are my enemy, I don't mind killing you by any means. ”

This Cao Xiu believes.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "There is no better way to exterminate locusts, one is to kill them on the eve of the adults, and the other is to use the young leaves that the locusts love to eat, and put them on the fire to roast the taste, and it is the right thing to trap and kill the locust larvae." Also, poultry – you don't have to worry about chicken plague and the like can clearly become a business. ”

He thought for a moment and then asked, "If I can really go back, you will definitely repay me for your kindness today, what do you want?" ”

OK?

Huang Shu said: "The business between our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia is a smooth road if we do not interfere with ordnance. ”

Li Kou said: "Then what can I provide you?" ”

This was a serious talk, and Cao Xiu couldn't help but sit upright.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Of course, the grain is the best, followed by copper and iron ware," he glanced at Huang Shucai and said, "We know that you have a lot of glazed treasures, if you can sell them, we will collect them at a high price." ”

Huang Shu sneered: "Is it to protect the lives of your defeated generals in front of the Western Xia Emperor?" ”

"Not bad." Cao Xiu said, "It's just such a treasure......

He looked at Li Kou and asked, "Are you willing to sell it?" ”

Li Kou smiled and didn't care, but instead said to Huang Shu: "Don't look at these objects as so valuable, can you eat them?" Can a family survive hunger and cold? No! If everyone in the Western Xia yearns for such objects and abandons the desire for food and ordnance, it is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty, although it is expensive, it is not heavy. ”

He asked Cao Xiu how much he could bid.

Cao Xiu said: "There are many mountain salts in Western Xia, which are cheap, compared to Tubo Lake salt, Yuncheng well salt, less than two or three out of ten, and you have at least 100,000 glass lamps. ”

Caravan?

Li Kou was overjoyed, this was a good way out.

He said quietly: "When Brother Cao returns, we can talk in detail." ”

After that, he got up and walked out, it was better to see the locusts in the farmland than to fight Cao Xiu's words.

Cao Xiu scratched her head and was a little dazed.

Can this guy really allow him to leave the Song Kingdom?

"If I were to arrest any of the Song envoys, I would probably not want to let him return, and the emperor would not let him escape. Besides, the Liangzhou Cao clan was the focus of the Song Kingdom's friendship, how could they do this? Cao Xiu didn't understand.

Huang Shu also didn't understand why Li Kou was so sure that the imperial court would let Cao Xiu go.

"Without it, in order to solve the crisis of the Western Army." Li Kou walked with his hands in his hands and explained indifferently, "The imperial court is worried about the Western Army, and it is necessary to solve the problem of the Western Army, especially the generals; The generals of the Western Army are afraid of the imperial court, and they also want to solve the problem of the Western Army and even the generals, but the imperial court wants to dismiss the generals, and the generals must ensure the generals, that's all. In solving the problem of Jiangmen, the imperial court was unwilling to let the Western Xia and Khitan attack the western region, so it must send the grandson of the Cao family of Liangzhou back; The door is blackmailed, and of course Cao Xiu must be let go back. ”

Huang Shu was silent for a long time and said indignantly: "Why does the imperial court treat us people in the west like this? ”

"It's just a basic national policy in the real world." Li Kou said, "So, this time the Cao clan may benefit, but the Western Xia and Khitan are afraid that they will suffer a little, and the Western Army generals will work together and would rather let Tong Guan be the commander, which can be seen...... This Tong Guan is also a person with some talent but too much selfishness, he is afraid that he will deceive his subordinates and not give the emperor a statement, this is also a character. ”

Then the Xixia people just watched and let the Cao clan and the Western army come and go?

"The Cao family can make a gesture of returning to the Western Xia to wait for the price and selling, they can rely on the Western Xia to blackmail the national dynasty, and relying on the national dynasty can coerce the Western Xia, I estimate that the Cao family tries to take away your wife, and it is likely that there is also the possibility of competing for the support of the Yeli Ministry, as for the Xiao woman, I am afraid that it is also the idea of strengthening the military strength in the western region under the guise of weak Western Xia." Li Kou said, "If this girl is single-handedly planning, I will admire her very much." ”

At this moment, Wednesday Lang ran into the door dressed in a robe.

When he saw Li Kou, he immediately pulled it and wanted to run to the suburbs happily.

"It's unsealed, Pan Yuan is unsealed, I figured out a little idea to exterminate locusts, Da Lang, come with me to take a look." Wednesday Lang was extremely proud, "I can't kill thieves, there are still some ways to kill locusts." ”

It's just that this guy sighed and said, "I just hope that I can save a little less for the summer fried to satisfy my hunger." ”

Li Kou said: "Brother Zhou will definitely call me then, fry or barbecue, add some fine salt and put some chili noodles, this is a delicious dish." ”

Wednesday Lang was surprised and delighted: "Da Lang understands me - you also love to eat locusts?" Then he wondered, "What kind of pepper do you want to put in it?" So what? ”

He hadn't seen Li Kou eat chili peppers in the past few days.

Li Kou smiled and said, "You can taste it then." ”

Saying that, a few people arrived at the outside of the Panyuan County Ya, which was the back door, and turned to the side to see Prison Zhang's house.

The house was still closed, and no one came out.

Li Kou ignored it all the way to the east gate, and sure enough, he saw the city gate open.

It's just that the inspection of the box army is a little right.

At this moment, a black painted car came in from outside.

The cart looked ordinary, and it was pulled by two tall horses.

Isn't there some big guy in Panyuan County?

No.
