"For example, the old lady, who is eighty years old, blocked the old man's guard of honor when the old man left Beijing, and asked the old man to bring you a good sentence, shouldn't you write a letter to someone and say thank you?"

"...... as it should be"

“……”

After Kou Ji finished writing the letter, Chen Lin reprimanded Kou Ji for a long time before leaving Kou Ji's camp and going out to find someone to send Kou Ji's letter back.

He did not look for the soldiers in the army to deliver the message, but recruited the messenger pawn in the nearest post station from their military camp and sent the message back to Bianjing.

As for why he didn't find the soldiers in the army to deliver the message, Kou Ji didn't ask much about the specific reason.

Probably to show his status as a prisoner.

It turns out that Chen Lin is indeed a good slave.

A few days after that.

From waiting until Cao Wei's army met and the army passed through Zhending Mansion, Chen Lin never asked about the military affairs in the army, he followed closely behind Kou Ji, and every three days, he reminded Kou Ji to write a letter to Zhao Zhen.

It is estimated that in his heart, how Cao Wei tosses in the army is not as important as Kou Ji's letter to Zhao Zhen.

He is remembering the official affairs of the imperial court with his ears, and it is difficult to say whether he can remember them.

But Zhao Zhen's instructions, he is remembering them with his heart, and he will implement them meticulously.

After Cao Wei led the soldiers and horses to Zhending Mansion, the other armies had also arrived.

After the 400,000 troops converged, Cao Wei admonished the generals of the various departments, and then began to divide the troops.

The Liao army went south in two groups, and Cao Wei naturally couldn't gather his soldiers and horses together, and he also needed to divide his troops as soon as he swarmed up.

Cao Wei divided his troops into two routes, 250,000 soldiers and horses all the way, led by him, out of Zhending Mansion, to meet the main force of the Liao army from the south of Youzhou City.

All the way, 150,000 soldiers and horses, led by Yang Wenguang and several regimental training envoys, entered Yanmen Pass.

After the division of troops.

The army did not stay long in Zhending Mansion and immediately began to march.

It is said that the soldiers and horses adjacent to Youzhou City have already confronted the Liao army, and they have been defeated and retreated under the attack of the Liao army.

If the army led by Cao Wei could not arrive in time, they would most likely be annihilated by the Liao army's attack.

Cao Wei led the troops to march, and Kou Ji marched with the army.

Cao Wei originally wanted to send Kou Ji to serve as a supervisor in the left army led by Yang Wenguang, but Chen Lin had to stay by Kou Ji's side, and Chen Lin, the capital eunuch, had to stay by Cao Wei's side as the commander, so in the end, Kou Ji was also left by Cao Wei's side.

Cao Wei led 250,000 soldiers and horses to Baozhou, and caught up with the Baosai army stationed in Baozhou and the Liao army were fighting.

Cao Wei didn't say anything superfluous, nor did he read out the oath of sending troops, and led the soldiers and horses to rush out of Baozhou directly, and fought with the Liao army into a group.

In the end, he repelled the attack of the Liao army, and then led the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the battlefield and set up camp under the city of Baozhou.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin, leading a group of clerks, began to remember the merits of the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield.

Looking at the soldiers who lacked arms and legs, the corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.

The ferocity of the Liao army is far beyond his imagination.

The misery of the soldiers of the Bulgarian Army is far beyond his imagination.

A group of warriors who fought with the Liao people for their lives in the cold days of the ninth count, and the cotton clothes they wore were not filled with cotton, but weeds.

They were frozen and sores all over their bodies, and they said to Kou Ji with a smile that cotton, an external thing, is far less than the weeds on the Song soil to keep out the cold, and the weeds on the Song soil are not as intimate as the weeds on the Song soil.

Kou Ji knew that they were lying, and he knew that they were covering up for those who drank the blood of the soldiers behind them.

But he couldn't curse, he couldn't get angry, he had to coax them, and put on the sheepskin jacket he gave out.

The sheepskin jacket he handed out was too good, and the fur was too smooth, and the soldiers did not dare to take it.

Seeing that Kou Ji stripped off the documents, prison guards, and judges who came with him, and sent all the warm clothes they were wearing to the soldiers, the soldiers didn't dare to accept it.

The soldiers all knew that this group of officials and uncles had come to give them meritorious deeds, and if they were frozen and suffered from the cold, then they would have suffered.

People only need to move their hands on the book of merit to kill them.

Kou Ji had to coax them, saying that he would not harm them in the book of merit, so they dared to take the sheepskin jacket handed over by Kou Ji.

That's it, after they got Koji's sheepskin jacket, they stuffed it into the dolls in the army.

Kou Ji looked at an old pawn, put the sheepskin jacket that Kou Ji stuffed into him and put it in the arms of a boy about thirteen years old, and couldn't help asking, "Is he your grandson?" ”

The old pawn shook his head, "The melon baby I just met today, when I saw the Liao people, I rushed forward vigorously." If it weren't for the villain, he would have been killed by the Liao's bow and arrow. ”

After saying this, the old pawn seemed to feel that it was not enjoyable, and shouted at the smirking soldiers behind him: "You old guys who don't accept it, don't coax the dolls to die."

Let me see you coaxing the dolls to die, but you are hiding behind the dolls, and the old man chops you first. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they still smirked vigorously.

The old pawn turned around, looked at Kou Ji stiffly, and said in a low voice, "Let you see the joke." ”

Kou Ji glanced left and right, and saw Zhang Yuan walking over with Mao Lu, so he stepped forward and pulled off the sheepskin jacket on Zhang Yuan's body and threw it to the old pawn.

"Put it on......"

The old man fumbled with the sheepskin jacket and smiled dryly: "How can this be done?" Let's give it to the dolls. ”

Seeing that the old pawn was about to hand over the sheepskin jacket in his hand, Kou Ji grabbed him, and steadily stuffed the sheepskin jacket handed out by the old pawn into the old pawn's hand, and said seriously: "You have to wear it, you have to live." You are alive to protect more dolls. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, tightened the sheepskin jacket in his hand, and grinned: "The old man listens to you." ”

Kou Ji stood up, looked at the soldiers who had no sheepskin jackets and were snorting from the cold, and shouted: "Don't covet other people's sheepskin jackets, in a few days, I will get you a batch and make sure that each of you has one on you." ”

When the soldiers heard this, the mountains and tsunami screamed.

Chen Lin pulled Lakoji and reminded in a low voice: "Don't make promises in the army. You are the supervisor of the army, or the supervisor of the state military affairs, if you say something casually, they will take it seriously. ”

Chen Lin dragged Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "You have mercy on them, give them your own sheepskin jackets, and even pull out our sheepskin jackets for them, and the old man is up to you."

But you promised tens of thousands of sheepskin jackets in one go, and we didn't have them at all.

Even if the old man now uses the power of the supervising army to transfer from all over the country, he will not be able to make up so much in a short period of time. ”

Kou Ji turned his head sideways, stared at Chen Lin, and said seriously: "Then watch them freeze to death?" If they want to die, they should die when they fight the Liao, not freeze to death in our barracks. ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "But we can't get together so many sheepskin jackets for a while. ”

Kou Ji said loudly: "If we can't make it, we have to make it, even if we kill all the cattle and sheep in Zhending Mansion, we have to give each of them a leather jacket to keep out the cold." ”

"I'm a prisoner, and I can't charge like them. But I had to find a way to keep them fed, fed, and warmly dressed. ”

Chen Lin saw that Kou Ji was a little angry, so he pulled Kou Ji out.

"Let's talk about this later."

Chen Lin dragged Kou Ji back to the big tent in the army.

As I passed by the tent, I watched as the sheepskin blankets wrapped in boxes were plucked clean from the wagon that had come with Koji.

Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Who did it?" ”

Kou Ji also wanted to use those sheepskin blankets to make some warm clothes for the soldiers.

Now that the sheepskin blanket is gone, Kou Ji is a little annoyed.

The guards of Koufu guarding in front of the carriage said with a bitter face: "All the doctors who accompanied the army have been pulled out." The villains can't stop it. ”

Kou Ji shook off Chen Lin and shouted angrily, "I'll go find them and ask for clarification." ”

Kou Ji rushed to the place where the military doctor in the barracks was, but before he could get there, he turned around and left.

Chen Lin trotted after him, and saw that Kou Ji didn't go to the place where the military doctors lived to make trouble, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Kou Ji lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Nothing? ”

Chen Lin left Kou Ji suspiciously, trotted to the residence of the military doctor, glanced left and right, and returned to Kou Ji with a not very good-looking face.

Kou Ji said in a heavy voice: "See? ”

Chen Lin said in a dull voice: "I saw it...... Frozen ears, arms and legs, basin by basin to the end. ”

Kou Ji clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Those who drink the blood of soldiers, all of them deserve to die." ”

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Those who dare to drink the blood of soldiers have a good family background and background behind them. ”

Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said seriously, "Can I afford to mess with it?" ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "Can you afford to provoke ...... You can afford to mess with it, and so can the old man. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Then let's send someone to raid the homes of the officials at all levels in charge of military quarters in the Zhending Mansion first." The clothes that were copied out were sent to the soldiers to keep them warm. The money copied out was used to buy cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep were killed, meat was boiled for the soldiers to drink, and furs were made for the soldiers' clothes. ”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "It should be so." You draft the official documents, and the old man is responsible for stamping. The old man would send someone to keep an eye on it, and make sure to cut out every copper plate they hid. ”

Two people said they would do it.

After returning to the tent, Kou Ji drafted the official document, Chen Lin used the letter of the capital eunuch, and then they sent the soldiers and guards who came with them, stepped on their horses, and ran out of the barracks.

No one expected that after the two prison soldiers arrived at Zhending Mansion, they did not find fault in the army first, but first took the officials in charge of military quarters in Zhending Mansion to open the knife.

It's nighttime.

The sound of the wind blew into Cao Wei's ears, and Cao Wei braved the snow to rush to Kou Ji's military tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he shouted, "Kou Ji, you sent someone to raid the house?" ”

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Kou Ji and Chen Lin, who were carrying needles and staring at a pile of stinky sheepskins and cowhides.

He was also stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Lin put away the needle, pouted at Cao Wei, and said, "Our little ancestor has a kind heart and wants to make sheepskin jackets for the soldiers of the Baosai Army, and he still has to pull the old man to do it together."

But the old man had never touched the needle and thread, and he didn't know how to start. ”

Cao Wei frowned, looked at Kou Ji, and said in a low voice, "Kou Ji, what are you messing around?" First, he sent people to raid his house, and then he made stinky sheepskins here. ”

Kou Ji put down the needle and thread and said to Cao Wei: "Send someone to raid the house, that's because those people deserve to die." The reason why the soldiers need these stinky sheepskins to keep them warm is because the soldiers need them. ”

Cao Wei frowned and shouted: "You arrested and killed in the Zhending Mansion, and the governor of the Zhending Mansion has already found the old man, and said that he would impeach the old man in a letter." Aren't you causing trouble for the old man? ”

Koji frowned.

Chen Lin said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not the prefect of Zhending Mansion, right?" It's that the stewards of the noble families who stayed in the Zhending Mansion have found you, right? ”

Cao Wei raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and did not speak.

Obviously, Chen Lin is telling the truth.

Chen Lin said lightly: "Cao Wei, how the old man and Kou boys are messing around, that's a matter of the two of us." The two of us didn't meddle in your military affairs, and we have already given you enough face.

But you are in charge of the two of us, are you overstepping your authority? ”

Chen Lin straightened up slightly, his voice raised a few points, and shouted: "Old man Chen Lin, the governor of Zhending Mansion is the governor of the military affairs, and he has the authority to cut first and then play." Even if the old man kills the heads of people in the Zhending Mansion and kills the officials of the Zhending Mansion cleanly, it is not for you Cao Wei to ask.

Take charge of your soldiers, and fight your battles well.

Don't trouble the old man for a few heads and a little money in other people's homes.

All the old man wants now is the heads of a few stewards they left in the Zhending Mansion.

If they provoke the old man, and the old man returns to Beijing, and investigates the matter clearly, their heads may not be kept. ”

Cao Wei sighed, arched his hand, and withdrew from Kou Ji's military tent.

After Cao Wei left.

Chen Lin sighed and said, "Boy Kou, you have a hot head, but you have caused a lot of trouble for the old man." ”

Kou Ji picked up a clean sheepskin and sewed it, and while sewing, he wondered: "Are you afraid of this kind of trouble?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head.

Kou Ji pouted and said, "I'm not afraid of this kind of trouble, so what's the use of what you say it's for." ”

Chen Lin was speechless.

He stared at Kou Ji sewing the sheepskin jacket, and after a long time, when he saw the sheepskin jacket forming in Kou Ji's hand, he was stunned and said, "You are actually a female red?" ”

Kou Ji casually threw down the sheepskin jacket and glanced at Chen Lin, "Children from poor families can do anything." Let them take out the sheepskin jacket I sewed, and ask the women in Baozhou to sew it in this style.

Time is in a hurry, so I can only make up my life. ”

Chen Lin took the sheepskin jacket sewn by Kou Ji, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's already very good......

A few days after that.

The Liao army did not attack.

Cao Wei was busy in the army to organize the army, busy planning how to take the initiative to attack and hit the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu hard.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin were busy distributing sheepskin jackets to the soldiers of the Bulgarian Army.

Facts have proved that compared with the forbidden army, the Xiang army is really raised by the stepmother.

One by one, the soldiers of the forbidden army wandered around the barracks like polar bears.

And the soldiers of the Bulgarian Army, some of them frequently froze to death in the barracks.

This seems to be a common occurrence in the Palest army, and after the soldiers were frozen to death, there was not even one to wail. Their companions would only carry them out of the barracks, find a place, dig a pit and bury them.
