Kou Ji thought about it for a long time in the main hall, but he couldn't figure out the deep meaning of Kou Zhun's last sentence.

At the end of the day, don't think about it again.

Kou Ji's gaze fell on the high table in the main hall.

On the high table, there was a scroll of holy decrees, a seal placed in a box, and a very ornate sword.

Koji unfolded the decree and glanced twice.

In terms of the holy decree, Kou Ji was crowned as the pacification envoy of the states of the Western Regions, and he also supervised the military of the two armies of Zhenguo and Xingguo, and gave the Son of Heaven sword to be cut first and then played.

More importantly, it gave Kou Ji the power to dispatch the Imperial City Division.

Although Kou Ji can use Liu Heng's identity to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial City Division and transfer the personnel of the Imperial City Division, he has always been unjustifiable.

Now that Zhao Zhen has given Kou Ji the power to dispatch the Imperial City Division, then Kou Ji can clearly and justifiably dispatch the people of the Imperial City Division to do things.

Kou Ji put away the seal, the holy decree, and the sword of the Son of Heaven, and sent them to the seal room guarded by the guards in the house.

Then, he left the Koufu Courtyard in the darkness of night and entered the instrument forging workshop behind the steel forging workshop in Ruian Town.

One stay is three days.

During this period, horse-drawn carriages frequently entered and exited the instrument forging workshop.

The carriage always went in empty, and came out with a full load.

The carriage was driven by the coachman and stopped outside the Kofu Annex.

The carriages, all wrapped in cowhide felt, were nailed to the boards.

It was surrounded by heavily improvised troops, and no one knew what was inside.

Three days later.

Kou Ji came out of the instrument forging workshop unkempt, washed up, and after saying a lot of words to Xiang Yan, he put on his court clothes and entered the palace.

Palace.

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, and Li Zhaoliang gathered in the Shishitang.

After Kou Ji saluted Zhao Zhen.

Wang Zeng was the first to speak.

"I have prepared all the food and grass, and I have sent someone to escort it out of the city."

Wang Zeng's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of exhaustion.

Apparently.

In order to raise enough military rations, Wang Zeng traveled for three days and three nights.

Lu Yijian said: "Zhenguo, Xingguo, the two forbidden armies, have already started from the camp where they are stationed and rushed to Xining Prefecture. You'll see them when you get to Xining. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "I dispatched 30,000 people and 3,000 Japanese soldiers to escort you all the way to Xining Prefecture. ”

Kou Ji gave his hand, "Thank you to the official family......"

Zhao Zhen got up slowly, stared at Kou Ji, and said seriously: "I don't want you to make contributions in the Western Regions, if you really feel that you can't do anything, come back decisively, I won't blame you." ”

When Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian heard this, they frowned decisively.

When Li Zhaoliang heard Zhao Zhen's words, he showed a bright smile.

Zhao Zhen's words are equivalent to giving Kou Ji a gold medal for avoiding death.

Tell Kou Ji clearly.

If you can't beat it, you can run.

If I really lose, or if something happens, I won't blame you.

Kou Ji arched his hand and said: "The official family is relieved, the minister never fights an unprepared battle, since the minister has decided to go to the Western Regions, then he is sure to protect himself, and he is also sure to protect my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded heavily, stared at Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang and said, "Two Aiqing, if you go to the Western Regions, everything depends on the two of you." ”

Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang bowed together.

"The minister will definitely live up to his mission."

Zhao Zhen said again: "I personally sent the two out of Beijing. ”

Kou Ji decisively refused, "Don't ......"

Zhao Zhen asked, "Why?" ”

Kou Ji sighed and said: "The official family turned around to give grace, if the minister does not die in the Western Regions, how can he be worthy of the official family's Longen?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's me who ...... suddenly."

Wang Zeng took the initiative to ask: "I'll send two ......"

Kou Ji nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng sent Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang to the gate of the palace.

Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian are not good to send each other again.

Wang Zeng accompanied Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang to the outside of Bianjing City.

Without Zhao Zhen by his side, Wang Zeng didn't care, and immediately said: "Kou Ji, this time to go to the Western Regions, how sure are you that you can help Zhu Neng and Yang Wenguang break the siege?"

How sure are you that you're bringing them back? ”

Kou Ji looked sideways at Wang Zeng, "How sure do you think I should be?" ”

Wang Zeng frowned and said in a low voice: "You must bring back Zhu Neng, Yang Wenguang, and the soldiers and horses under their command, and the loss cannot exceed fifty percent." Otherwise, it will be very difficult for my Great Song Dynasty to send troops again in the future.

Those ministers who advocate the valuance of peace will certainly not let us send troops rashly. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I understand...... I tried my best to ......"

Wang Zeng's brows furrowed even tighter, "I can't do my best, it's necessary." ”

Koji furrowed his brow.

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "Your grandfather, you, me, and Li Gong, the four of us are constantly combing the court and making the court stronger, for what?" It is to complete the great cause that Taizu and Taizong did not complete, to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and to wash away the shame of my Great Song Dynasty.

If the soldiers and horses went to the Western Regions, the loss was more than fifty percent.

In the future, we want to send troops to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun, and half of the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty will not approve of it.

So you have to bring back at least fifty percent of the soldiers.

The hard work of the four of us cannot be in vain. ”

Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng seriously and said, "I didn't go to the Western Regions to save people. The imperial court has spent so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, if it has not made achievements in the Western Regions, how can it be explained to everyone in the government and the opposition? ”

Wang Zeng frowned and said: "In this situation, it is difficult to make achievements......

Kou Ji said: "So, I'm going to take a look." Why is it difficult for my soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty to make achievements after leaving the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Zeng was about to speak.

Kou Ji rode away from Wang Zeng's side.

Wang Zeng could only ride a horse to chase after him.

Rode all the way to the outside of Bianjing City.

I saw 30,000 people and 3,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, guarding next to the nearly 10,000 grain trucks, waiting for Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang.

Besides.

There were nearly a thousand men in strong suits, driving horse-drawn carts full of things to the grain carts.

Wang Zeng rode his horse to catch up with Kou Ji, stared at the very tightly wrapped carriages, and asked, "I heard that these things were all made by you after three days in the equipment workshop?" ”

Kou Ji stared at the very tightly wrapped carriages, and said lightly: "Only the things on the front carriage were made by me." The rest were made by craftsmen in the former instrument workshop.

Heaped all the way in the storeroom.

It's time to take it out and dry it. ”

Wang Zeng looked at it carefully and muttered, "The rut mark is very deep, deeper than a grain cart full of grain. What's inside? ”

Kou Ji didn't reply, but rode his horse and rushed out.

Wang Zeng intended to chase after him, but after seeing Xiang Yan who was carrying a basket and holding his stomach not far away, he reined in his horse.

Although he has doubts, he is not a person who does not understand amorous feelings.

Kou Ji rode his horse to Xiang Yan's side.

Jumped off the horse.

Hurried in front of Xiang Yan.

"Didn't you stop coming out?"

Xiang Yan's eyes were red, but there was a smile on her face, "Xianggong is on the expedition, and the concubine naturally wants to give it a ride." Xianggong's first expedition was also sent by a concubine, and Xianggong forgot? ”

Kou Ji's eyes were slightly red, "On that day, it was snowing heavily, you were wearing a red cloak, and your cheeks were cold and red, how could I go?" ”

Xiang Yan had tears in her eyes and nodded, "It's good for Xianggong to remember......"

As she spoke, Xiang Yan had already asked the maid to take out the food contained in the box.

"Xianggong tastes the horn made by the concubine......"

Kou Ji nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and stuffed dumplings into his mouth.

Pure lamb filling.

Koji's favorite food.

But I don't know why, I didn't taste at all today.

Xiang Yan watched Kou Ji eat dumplings and said softly: "Although I don't know why you always like to call Jiao'er dumplings, Xianggong loves to eat, so the concubine will be made for Xianggong to eat." ”

Kou Ji swallowed the dumplings in the bowl, pursed his lips and said to Xiang Yan: "Wait for me to come back......"

Xiang Yan nodded tearfully, "Hmm......"

Koji stepped onto his horse and galloped back to the line of men and grass escorts.

Wang Zeng has already cooperated with Li Zhaoliang to order all the people and horses, and all the grain and grass.

Kou Ji took the account book and flower album from Li Zhaoliang's hand, glanced at it a few times, nodded, and said angrily: "Let's go......"

Wang Zeng arched his hand and said: "I am in Bianjing City, waiting for the two to triumph." ”

Li Zhaoliang and Kou Ji returned the salute.

Kojilema, one step ahead.

Li Zhaoliang greeted him, took the family and followed closely behind Kou Ji.

The convoy carrying military rations slowly began to move.

The 3,000 soldiers of the forbidden army quickly found their position and escorted them to the front and right of the convoy.

Kou Ji ran all the way out for three miles before he stopped.

Li Zhaoliang chased after him from behind, and when he arrived in front of Kou Ji, he smiled indifferently: "Reluctant? ”

Kou Ji didn't hide it either, and nodded, "When I went out on the expedition before, I didn't have any worries, so I didn't know the pain of parting." Now that I know that someone in my family is worried about me and that my child is about to be born, I feel very reluctant. ”

Li Zhao nodded and smiled: "Human nature...... The first time I went on my expedition, it was the same. ”

Koji nodded, and didn't speak again.

Li Zhaoliang was speechless and said, "Are you sure you want to wear this official uniform of a civil official to the Western Regions?" ”

Kou Ji said: "When I arrive at the post station outside Bianjing City, I will change into armor and wear it." ”

Li Zhaoliang nodded and said, "What are you going to do this time to the west?" ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "You are the main general, isn't this something you should worry about?" ”

Li Zhaoliang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You have the Son of Heaven Sword, and you are still the pacification envoy of the Western Regions states personally awarded by the official family." When you go to the Western Regions, everything should be your master.

Although I am the commander of the two armies, I must also listen to you. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Li Zhaoliang, "You'll know when you get to the Western Regions." ”

Li Zhaoliang hurriedly said: "Don't! You still tell me about it, so that I can be mentally prepared, when I get to the Western Regions, it will be too late. ”

Kou Ji stared at Li Zhaoliang and said, "I'm a civil official!" I won't fight! When it comes to this kind of thing, I have only one way. ”

Li Zhaoliang stared at Kou Ji stunned, "What's the way?" ”

Kou Ji straightened his waist and said coldly: "Kill all the way, whoever blocks and kills whom!" ”

Li Zhaoliang stared at him in astonishment, and said in horror: "That's not how the battle was fought. Besides, the enemy is not a wooden stake, and will not stand there for you to kill......"

"Then it depends on whether their legs are fast enough!"

“……”

Li Zhaoliang chased after Kou Ji and asked for a long time, but he didn't figure out what medicine was sold in Kou Ji's gourd.

But Li Zhaoliang could feel that there was a raging anger burning in Kou Ji's chest.

That anger needs to be extinguished with the blood of the enemy.

He had a hunch that Kou Ji would kill a lot of people when he went to the Western Regions.

The two chatted for a long time on the road.

The team escorting the grain and grass, under the urging of officials such as joining the army, caught up with the footsteps of Li Zhaoliang and Kou Ji.

Li Zhaoliang and Kou Ji returned to the team and accompanied the team escorting grain and grass to the west together.

Due to the large amount of grain and grass escorted, the speed of the team's advance was very slow, and it took a day and a half to get out of the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion.

One out of Kaifeng Mansion.

Kou Ji changed into a fine chain mail, with the sword of the Son of Heaven, and opened the guard of honor and walked in front of the team.

The purpose was to clear the way for the troops who were escorting the grain and grass.

Avoid unnecessary check-in-chief delays along the way.

Out of the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Go to the boundary monument of Jingzhao Mansion.

Kou Jizhu was slightly stunned.

Because at the boundary monument of Jingzhao Mansion, there was a group of people who seemed to be waiting for them.

Kou Ji saw a familiar figure in the group.

Kou Jice stepped forward immediately, and the other party also took the initiative to meet him.

"Fourth Brother ......"

The person at the head greeted Kou Ji with a smile.

Kou Ji stared at him in amazement and said, "Liu Heng?!" How are you here? ”

Liu Heng sat on horseback and said in the direction of Bianjing City: "On the orders of the official family, I will go to the Western Regions with you and listen to your dispatch." ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "The official family is really generous......"

The smile on Liu Heng's face flickered, and he said solemnly: "In addition to helping you dispatch the Imperial City Division's manpower in the Western Regions, I also received a special letter. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "What will?" ”

Liu Hengze immediately stepped forward, approached Kou Ji's side, avoided everyone, and whispered in Kou Ji's ear: "Under the orders of the official's family, I will protect you thoroughly." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, frowned, stared at Liu Heng, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean?" Anyone who goes to the Western Regions can die, but I can't die? ”

Liu Heng nodded solemnly, "That's what the official family means." ”

Kou Ji let out a long sigh, "Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to keep myself in a safe place all the time. Otherwise, it will be easy to cause you trouble. ”

Liu Heng said: "I will follow you every step of the way." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng, "Is that also the meaning of the official family?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head, "I mean!" ”

Kou Ji sighed, "You don't have to do this...... I have prepared a lot of things for myself, enough to protect myself. Those who are really worried about their lives are those from the countries of the Western Regions. ”

"What has the fourth brother prepared?"

"If I name it, you may not know what it is."

“……”

Kou Ji chatted with Liu Heng for a few words.

Liu Heng took his own people to join the team escorting grain and grass.

Liu Heng really did what he said, and followed Kou Ji every step of the way.
