Following.

Kou Ji got up early in the morning, stretched out after getting up, and washed up.

Liu Heng's family officials, stepping on black boots, hurriedly entered Kou Ji's bedroom.

"Kou Qincha, the Western Xia soldiers and horses on the banks of the Hongshui River have retreated...... But ......"

"But what?"

Kou Ji asked as he wiped his face with a sweat towel.

The official muttered: "In the northeast corner of the Hongshui River, the lowly people found some traces of Western Xia soldiers and horses. There were quite a few people, and the lowly people did not dare to approach them. ”

Kou Ji put down the sweat towel and frowned, "Can you determine the identity of the other party?" ”

"Difficult Army!"

"The Determination Army?"

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "The Dingyan Army is the pro-army of Li Deming, who disobeyed the order, and has always been by Li Deming's side. The Dingyan Army appeared on the banks of the Hongshui River......"

Kou Ji raised his head and asked, "Could it be that Li Deming has arrived?" ”

The official muttered: "I also think that Li Deming has arrived......

Kou Ji said thoughtfully: "You go down, tell your people to pay close attention to Li Deming's movements, and I will go to Zhu Neng, Li Gong and others to discuss and see what Li Deming's purpose is in Hexi." ”

The family officer agreed, and immediately exited the door.

Kou Ji was dressed neatly and prepared to go to Zhu Neng and the others.

As soon as I went out, I saw the family officer turn back.

Kou Ji asked, "Anything else?" ”

The official hurriedly said: "As soon as the lowly post went out, he bumped into his subordinates, according to the report of the subordinates of the lowly position, the Dingyan army on the bank of the Hongshui River retreated, and together with the soldiers and horses led by Li Yuanhao, they went northeast along the Great Wall. ”

Kou Ji was stunned, "Li Deming came over with the Dingyan Army, and he didn't do anything, so he ran back?" ”

Li Deming came out with tens of thousands of troops to play?

Is it possible?

With Li Deming's identity and status, it is impossible for him to do those meaningless things.

Kou Ji thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Li Deming should have received the news that Chong Shiheng had left Qingjian City, so he rushed to Hexi with his soldiers and horses, he should be afraid that his son would be destroyed by me......

If you think about it this way, Li Deming's behavior makes sense......"

Kou Ji said to the family officer: "Li Deming is much more powerful than Li Yuanhao, and he can't be inferior." Although I have already guessed Li Deming's intentions, I still have to guard against it.

You sent people to chase along the line of the Great Wall, and after making sure that Li Deming had led people to leave the vicinity of Hexi, he would come back to report to me. ”

"......"

The officer said yes and walked away.

"False alarm, a ......"

Kou Ji shook his head, stepped out of the door, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng appeared in front of Kou Ji with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and said in a slightly tired voice: "The goods have been counted clearly, all the copper coins, gold and silver jewelry, antiquities, calligraphy and paintings, folded into copper coins, about 54,367,840,000. ”

Kou Ji took the account book, read it carefully, and after confirming that there were no big mistakes, he returned the account book to Zhu Neng, and said, "The part that belongs to Qingtang will be folded into gold and silver, and sent it to Jiao Guluo." ”

Although gold and silver are valuable, they are not the mainstream currency in the Great Song Dynasty after all.

After the passage of Jiaozi, there were fewer transactions in which gold and silver were used as currency.

The gold and silver were taken back to the Great Song Dynasty, and they were basically hoarded in the warehouse, and the use rate was not high.

On the contrary, it was a copper coin, and if you get back the Great Song Dynasty, you can use it immediately.

Kou Ji naturally asked for copper coins, not gold and silver.

Zhu Neng nodded, took the account book and prepared to go down to do things.

Kou Ji opened his mouth, had the heart to speak, thought about it for a while, but still didn't say it.

He found Li Di and invited Li Di to have dinner together.

On the dinner table.

Kou Ji said to Li Di: "The people of the Imperial City Division have found Li Deming's traces on the banks of the Hongshui River. ”

Li Di said with some surprise: "Li Deming is out of Xingqing Mansion?" ”

Koji nodded.

Li Di lowered his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Li Deming is eighty percent here to save his son." Li Yuanhao is his most valued son and his chosen successor.

Naturally, he would not see Li Yuanhao lost in Hexi.

Presumably, it was the matter of Shiheng leaving Qingjian City that he found out. ”

Kou Ji nodded slightly and said: "I think so too, but Li Deming is very cunning, and we still can't easily draw conclusions until we find out his specific movements." ”

Li Di glanced at Kou Ji, "What are you going to do?" ”

Kou Ji groaned, "I have already sent people from the Imperial City Division to keep an eye on Li Deming. In order to avoid Li Deming's surprise attack on Qingjian City, Chong Shiheng must return as soon as possible with his soldiers and horses.

Qingtang soldiers and horses should not stay in Xiliang City for a long time.

I should leave in two days.

Without these two strong troops, we would not be able to act rashly.

Therefore, the two armies of Zhenguo and Xingguo have to stay in Xiliangcheng for the time being.

I'm also going to sit in Xiliang City.

You always need to be busy, go to Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou and other places, and arrange those people in Shazhou City who are willing to stay in Hexi. ”

Li Di was stunned and asked, "Apply the method of clearing wasteland in Shazhou?" ”

Koji nodded.

Li Di smiled bitterly: "There are more than 10,000 people, and one person can divide 10,000 mu, and he can't finish the land in Hexi." ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips and sighed: "This is also a matter of no choice, we have to mark all the lands in Hexi as soon as possible, with the traces of our Great Song Dynasty, so that all those who can notice the land of Hexi know that Hexi has been returned to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Li Di sighed and said, "There are too few people......

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "All the people who came with the army this time will be included in the team of clearing wasteland and planting trees. ”

Li Di frowned and did not speak.

Kou Ji continued: "Each of them is given a Uighur from Ganzhou, or a captive of the Yellow Uighurs. They can also be allowed to have a temporary home in Hexi'an.

Tell them that they can take ninety percent of the crops they have cultivated in the first year.

The next year they can take seventy percent.

Except for Shazhou and Guazhou, there are no restrictions on land reclamation in other places.

If they have the ability, they can cultivate 10,000 acres.

Then tell them that if they are willing to stay in Hexi for three years and have children with the Uighurs of Shazhou or the Uighurs of Ganzhou, they will inherit all the land they have cultivated after they are gone. ”

Li Di stared at Kou Ji in amazement.

Kou Ji's idea, in Li Di's opinion, is a little crazy.

Let those people who are unwilling to move to Hexi have a temporary home in Hexi.

If this matter is transmitted back to the Great Song Dynasty, the people of the Great Song Dynasty may have to make trouble.

Li Di gritted his teeth and said: "In a special period, with a special method, the old man can understand. But it doesn't work to let them live in Hexi. ”

Koji raised an eyebrow.

Li Di added, "It's okay to have children, it's okay to live together, we can acquiesce to this kind of thing, but we must not encourage them to live in Hexi's house, let alone put this matter on the surface." ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, nodded and agreed to Li Di's proposal.

Li Di said again: "The old man can write to the imperial court, and you can also write to the imperial court, and let the imperial court transfer some prisoners, prisoners, and some poor and helpless people."

In addition, the old man needs some people to help the old man rule over the people. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "In this expedition to Hexi, there are many meritorious soldiers. Some of them are disabled, and I am afraid that they will not be able to continue fighting in the ranks in the future, so I am ready to place those who are willing to stay among them in various places in Hexi, and appoint them with some petty officials and petty officials. ”

Li Di was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You are digging the corner of Sanya......"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and pouted: "If they return to the Great Song Dynasty, can the imperial court manage them for the rest of their lives, or can the Sanya manage them for the rest of their lives?" ”

Li Di was immediately silent.

Kou Ji didn't say much, and said to Li Di: "Without further ado, you will leave today." ”

After Li Di had eaten, he sent someone to inform Zhu Neng, Chong Shiheng, and Li Zhaoliang, and sent someone to inform Ji Yan.

Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang mobilized in the barracks, and there were nearly 2,000 wounded soldiers who were willing to stay in Hexi. 、

Li Di successively appointed them official positions according to their merits and the positions they held in the army.

Chong Shiheng didn't mobilize many people, he only handed over more than 1,000 prisoners to Li Di.

It was captured by him when he conquered the city after entering Hexi.

From the time he entered Hexi to the time he arrived in Xiliang City, he captured more than 8,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses.

He gave Li Di 1,000 and another 7,000, which he wanted to take back for his own use.

There is a shortage of people in Hexi.

Xiping Road is also short of people.

A few years after the imperial court took Xiping Road, many people migrated during this period, but the population gap in Xiping Road was still very large.

Many places are vast and sparsely populated, and people are needed to cultivate and work.

Chong Shiheng was able to give Li Di a thousand captives, which could be regarded as giving Li Di and Kou Ji enough face.

Chong Shiheng's balance out of the captives reminded Kou Ji.

On the way west, Chong Shiheng captured nearly 8,000 people.

Then when the Qingtang soldiers and horses rushed to Xiliang City, I am afraid that they also captured a lot of people.

Kou Ji immediately ran to the Qingtang Terracotta Camp and found Jiaoguoluo.

After careful inquiry, it was found that the Jiaoluo had captured many people, the largest of whom were the Uighurs of Ganzhou.

After Li Yuanhao occupied the land east of Xiliang, he did not send many soldiers and horses to govern.

Only a small number of soldiers and horses were sent out to control the Uighurs in Ganzhou and maintain the place.

Therefore, on the way to Xiliangcheng, Jiao Guluo captured more than 4,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses, and nearly 30,000 Uighurs from Ganzhou.

After Kou Ji learned the news, he immediately reacted.

Chong Shiheng must have panicked him.

On the way to Xiliangcheng, Chong Shiheng must have also captured the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

But he didn't mean to even it out.

In this regard, Kou Ji can only complain two sentences, Chong Shiheng is dishonest, and there is no other way to say anything else.

After all, there is a shortage of people in Hexi.

Xiping Road is also short of people.

Chong Shiheng is not a saint, so it is impossible to dig his own corner and fill the hole that Kou Ji needs.

Accompanied by Jiao Guluo, Kou Ji went to the prisoner camp in Qingtang and wandered around, and then proposed to buy prisoners.

Jiao Guluo did not refuse, and agreed on the spot.

The two discussed it, and Kakuro handed over the captives to Kou Ji almost half-selling, half-giving away.

For Qingtang, the captives captured in Hexi were dispensable.

Qingtang took the land in the south of the Huangtou Hui and annexed nearly sixty percent of the Huangtou Hui people, except for some of the big tribes of the Huangtou Hui who need to be wooed, the remaining Huangtou Hui people will become Qingtang's slaves.

This part of the people is enough for Qingtang to digest for a long time.

Kou Ji bought Qingtang's captives and handed them over to Li Di, and the number of people in Li Di's hands suddenly became very abundant.

After Li Di counted the number of people, he left Xiliang City with nearly 130,000 people.

Among them, the Uighurs of Ganzhou had nearly 90,000 people.

Western Xia captured thousands.

There are thousands of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of people.

Not long after Li Di left, Chong Shiheng said goodbye to Kou Ji, left Xiliang, and returned to Qingjian City.

On the day of Chong Shiheng's departure, Jiao Guluo also wanted Kou Ji to resign, and left Xiliang with the capture of this trip and his soldiers and horses.

The city of Xiliang suddenly became a military city composed of the Zhenguo Army and the Xingguo Army.

The city lasted only seven days.

Seven days later.

Kou Ji got the news of the Imperial City Division's spies.

Li Deming, Li Yuanhao, father and son, with the Dingyan Army and some remnants, left the range of Hexi.

Kou Ji was completely relaxed.

Then, Kou Ji set up a table of banquets and invited Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang to the City Lord's Mansion in Xiliang City.

Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang have been a little proud in recent days.

In their opinion, their achievements in Hexi this time are enough to be crowned princes and marquises.

So when the two of them saw Kou Ji, they spoke loudly.

"Boy Kou, what are you looking for us?"

Zhu Neng strode into the city lord's mansion and asked questions with a big grin.

Kou Ji, who was sitting in the hall, rolled his eyes, took off the Son of Heaven Sword hanging on the side, and slapped it on the table with a bang.

"Say what you just said again......"

The corners of Zhu Neng's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand: "Zhu Neng has seen Kou Qincha ......"

Li Zhaoliang laughed at Zhu Neng for a few sentences, and said to Kou Ji: "Li Zhaoliang has seen Kou Qincha ......"

Kou Ji nodded, invited the two of them to sit down, and said, "According to the report of the spies of the Imperial City Division, all the soldiers and horses of Western Xia have withdrawn from Western Xia. The two armies of Zhenguo and Xingguo are stationed in Xiliangcheng, and it makes no sense. ”

Li Zhaoliang said with a little excitement: "Do you want the class teacher to return to the court?" ”

This time Hexi won a big victory.

Kou Ji and the others returned to the dynasty, naturally they had a special face, and they must have been very beautiful when they went back with shouting and blowing along the way.

If Zhao Zhen is willing to personally welcome ten miles away, it will be more face-saving.

Zhao Zhen gave them the high-ranking official marquis again, and at that moment, he would become infinitely beautiful and become the most popular person in Bianjing City.

Everyone in the world knows that a false name is not advisable, but everyone in the world is greedy for a false name.

Li Zhaoliang and Zhu Neng are no exception.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "It's still very early for the class teacher to return to the dynasty...... Now that Hexi has been decided, it is not appropriate for us to leave so early. I mean, divide the soldiers and horses under the two of you into several units and temporarily distribute them to various places.

By the way, cultivate some fertile land and plant some trees in various places. ”
