Kou Ji left Danshan City, and it was already late at night.

The people, the Qingtang soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers have already fallen asleep.

Liu Heng and An Ziluo did not sleep, but waited at the gate of the camp.

After seeing the hazy appearance of Kou Ji and his entourage, he took the initiative to meet him.

"Fourth Brother ......"

"Brother Kou Xian......"

Kou Ji jumped off the horse, walked in front of the two, and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you two slept yet?" ”

An Ziluo smiled bitterly: "Brother Kou Xian went to take risks, how could I sleep." ”

Kou Ji thanked An Ziluo for his kindness, looked sideways at Liu Heng, and laughed in a low voice: "You too?" ”

Liu Heng secretly rolled his eyes, but said, "Hmm...... I'm worried about your safety, too. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng with a smile and didn't speak.

The group entered the camp and sat down in the tent of the Chinese army.

An Ziluo asked with some eagerness: "Brother Kou Xian, those horse thieves in Danshan City really want to attach themselves to the Celestial Empire?" ”

Kou Ji instructed the leader of the horse guard to prepare some hot soup, and then said to An Ziluo with a smile: "Brother An's words are wrong, the Danshan Department is a remnant of the former Tang Dynasty placed in the Western Regions, and it is not a horse thief.

There are too few of them, so they can only survive in the Western Regions as horse thieves.

Now that I have returned to the Western Regions in the Great Song Dynasty, the Danshan Department has seen the hope of recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors, so I am waiting for me in Danshan City. ”

"Former Tang relics?"

An Ziluo muttered, but did not follow up.

The rhetoric in Kou Ji's mouth is the standard Song State official tone.

Now that the Danshan tribe chooses to sincerely attach themselves to the Song Kingdom, it doesn't matter at all whether they are the Danshan tribe or the former Tang Dynasty relics.

As long as the Danshan Department sincerely helps the Song State to do things, the Song State has countless ways to prove that the Danshan Department is the former Tang Dynasty relic.

An Ziluo went to the bottom of the question to inquire about the true identity of Danshanbu, which did not make much sense at all.

An Ziluo had a plan in his heart, so he didn't chase Kou Ji to ask about the situation in Danshan City, but said to Kou Ji with a worried face: "Brother Kou Xian, this is a long way to Shazhou, just a Danshan City, it is so difficult to give birth, and the city you encounter in the back may be even more difficult."

It's better for Brother Kou Xian to stay in Danshan City temporarily.

After I lead the army to the southeast border of Huangtou Hui and contain the heavy troops of Huangtou Hui, it will not be too late for you to leave. ”

Kou Ji Zhengse said: "Brother An doesn't need to be admonished, I have made up my mind." ”

After a pause, Kou Ji said again: "This time, I led the men and horses through Qingtang, thanks to the escort of Brother An, and Brother An specially led the soldiers and horses of Qingtang to help us attack Danshan City and remove obstacles.

This one, please, Kou will not forget. ”

Kou Ji nodded to Liu Heng.

Liu Heng hesitated for a moment and walked out of the tent.

Not long after, Liu Heng appeared in the big tent with a small box in his hand.

Kou Ji took the box and handed it to An Ziluo.

An Ziluo didn't move, but said suspiciously: "Brother Kou Xian, what do you mean by this?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "What I promised Brother An before......"

An Ziluo was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened in shock, staring at the box in Kou Ji's hand, and said in a trembling voice in disbelief: "Really...... It's true? ”

Kou Ji stuffed the box into An Ziluo's hand, and said solemnly: "A full set of heavy armor forging process, including sabers, horse armors, ......"

An Ziluo forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and held the box a little tremblingly.

"So...... Such a precious thing...... Brother Kou Xian is so easy...... Easy for me? ”

Kou Ji smiled brightly: "The intersection of the two countries is sincere. I promised Brother An before that I would give this thing to Brother An, so naturally I would not lose my word. Besides, Qingtang is a subordinate of my Great Song Dynasty and the only ally of my Great Song Dynasty in the Western Regions.

In the future, what my Great Song Dynasty wants to do in the Western Regions will depend on Qingtang.

The method of forging armor is nothing. ”

An Ziluo solemnly held the box and said to Kou Ji: "Brother Kou Xian's kindness to Qingtang, I Qingtang will always remember." This time, Brother Kou Xian entered my Qingtang, An failed to entertain you well, and when you returned, An and Zampu must have a private gift. ”

An Ziluo so solemnly proposed to give Kou Ji a private gift, presumably it would not be light.

Kou Ji said arrogantly: "Brother An said that it was funny, you and I intersected, and it was too vulgar to talk about those yellow and white things." ”

An Ziluo said seriously: "The number of due courtesies cannot be less. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother An is more like a Song person than me, a Song person." ”

An Ziluo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't think about Kou Ji's words, all as if Kou Ji was praising him.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother An really wants to send it, why don't you give me those horses that captured the horse thieves today?" ”

An Ziluo looked at Kou Ji in amazement.

Kou Ji asked, "Brother An is reluctant?" ”

An Ziluo cried and laughed: "It's not that I'm reluctant, but those horses captured today are not good horses." gave it to Brother Kou Xian, which looked a little shabby. ”

Kou Ji laughed loudly: "In Brother An's eyes, those horses are not good horses. But in my eyes, when the horses walked the gold and silver. Those horses are uneven, and they are naturally worthless in the Western Regions, but if they are shipped back to my Great Song Dynasty, it will be different. ”

An Ziluo thought about it carefully, and it was really this reason.

The horses ridden by horse thieves were of mixed quality, and most of them were inferior horses.

Compared with the military horses selected in the Qingtang Army, it is more than a star and a half worse.

He can't look down on it.

But as far as the horses he didn't look down on, they could be sold for a lot of money in the Song Kingdom.

The Song State lacked horses, which is a well-known thing.

An Ziluo pondered for a while, and said seriously to Kou Ji: "Since Brother Kou Xian doesn't dislike it, then I will be the master and give those horses to Brother Kou Xian." ”

Kou Ji solemnly hugged his fists at An Ziluo and said, "Thank you Brother An for your generosity." ”

An Ziluo shook his head and said seriously: "Compared to the gift that Brother Kou Xian gave me to Qingtang, those horses are nothing. ”

After a pause, An Ziluo said with some regret: "Now that I have left the boundary of Qingtang, I will also rush to Huangtou to return to the southeast region of Qingtang to command the soldiers and horses of Qingtang to fight.

Brother Kou Xian went, if he encountered a strong enemy, if he couldn't be defeated, he would retreat to Qingtang.

I, Qingtang, will definitely protect Brother Kou Xian. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly: "If I really encounter an invincible enemy, I will definitely retreat to Qingtang." ”

An Ziluo reminded again: "And don't rush in, although the Huangtou Hui is not as good as the Celestial Empire, and not as good as my Qingtang, they can be entrenched in the Western Regions for many years, and they also have a certain strength."

Although the Celestial Empire has the power to conquer the Yellow Head Hui Hui, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

Brother Kou Xian must be cautious, and then cautious. ”

Kou Ji nodded solemnly.

An Ziluo put away the box that Kou Ji handed him, got up and arched his hand to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji got up and returned the salute.

"Farewell ......"

"Take care!"

After An Ziluo gave up, he withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.

As soon as An Ziluo left, Liu Heng came to Kou Ji with some unwillingness, and said in a low voice: "The method of building a heavy armored cavalry is so easy to give to Qingtang?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng, spread his hand and said, "Otherwise? ”

Liu Heng pouted, "You have to ask for a little benefit, right?" ”

Kou Ji squinted at Liu Heng.

Liu Heng muttered: "Don't look at me like this, it's mercenary or you taught me." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Who said I didn't get any benefits from Qingtang?" ”

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji puzzled.

Kou Ji explained: "Today's battle against those horse thieves was the help of Qingtang soldiers and horses. The horse thieves were unbearable, but there were quite a few of them. In order to disperse those horse thieves, the Qingtang soldiers and horses under An Ziluo died three hundred and wounded nearly a thousand.

People have paid such a big price, if we don't say anything, what will people think of us? ”

Liu Heng groaned: "That being said, if you don't get a little benefit from Qingtang, you can't give Wang Gongxing a substitute." ”

Kou Jiba clicked his mouth and said with emotion: "That's what I said...... The Maharaja also made a lot of contributions in this matter. ”

Liu Heng nodded and said, "That's not ...... The prince took a group of Wenchen to rummage in the library building, and after searching for seven days, he found the armor forging method of the Tielin Army.

He also sent eight hundred miles to express it to us, day and night.

If there is nothing good, the prince will probably have to scold his mother. ”

"Be generous to others, what is there to scold your mother......"

Kou Ji's original intention was to give Qingtang the armor forging method of the Jingsai Army.

But after he reported the matter to the imperial court, what the imperial court sent was the armor forging method of the Liao Tielin Army.

Taking the armor forging method of the Liao State Tielin Army and going to Qingtang to exchange favors is simply a business.

Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji and said in a low voice: "The prince has led people to look for the ...... for seven days."

Kou Ji thought for a moment, "Then report the horse given by An Ziluo." By the way, I told the imperial court that the Danshan Department intended to attach itself to my Great Song Dynasty and sacrifice thousands of horses. Together with the horses sent by An Ziluo, there are just enough 10,000 horses.

Let the imperial court give the head of the Danshan Department an official title. ”

The corners of Liu Heng's mouth twitched, "Once the imperial court gives the head of the Danshan Tribe, you won't be able to turn back." ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "In this matter, I will not look back. ”

Liu Heng saw that Kou Ji had made up his mind, so he no longer admonished.

"I'm going to write a recital......"

Kou Ji nodded, and when Liu Heng was about to walk out of the tent, Kou Ji suddenly said: "Rest for the night tonight, and after getting up tomorrow, continue to step up the march." ”

"Understand ......"

After Kou Ji sent Liu Heng away, he washed up and fell asleep.

After An Ziluo returned to the tent, he could not calm down for a long time.

He originally thought that the armor forging method of the heavy cavalry would not be given to him easily.

Unexpectedly, now it is easy to get it in your hands.

In order to avoid being coaxed by Kou Ji, after An Ziluo returned to the tent, he hurriedly opened the box that Kou Ji gave him and looked at it carefully.

After reading it.

An Ziluo grasped the forging method of heavy armored cavalry armor, and sighed faintly, "People owe a lot......

There was nothing wrong with the forging method of the heavy cavalry armor that Koji had given him.

Although Qingtang does not have heavy armor riding, An Ziluo has seen a lot of heavy armor riding.

Know the peculiarities of heavy cavalry armor.

Although the armor forging method of the heavy armored cavalry that Kou Ji gave him was different from the ones used by Kou Ji's men, it was very suitable for the Qingtang cavalry.

In particular, the special scimitar weapon was simply tailor-made for their Qingtang people.

What's more, in order to make it easier for Qingtang people to understand the drawings sent, there are clear notes in Tubo on them.

Such a thoughtful act deeply touched An Ziluo's heart.

"...... of Achar"

An Ziluo sat in the tent and called in a low voice, and the personal soldiers guarding the entrance of the tent appeared in the tent and beat his chest with one hand, "General?!" ”

An Ziluo commanded in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers below to vacate three thousand war horses and leave them for Brother Kou Xian." ”

Achar's eyes widened in astonishment, looking puzzled.

An Ziluo tapped the scroll in front of him with his fingers, and said faintly: "The method of building heavy armored cavalry is pure Tubo commentary." ”

Achar was stunned for a moment, and respectfully saluted again, "The Song people are generous, and I can't be stingy in Qingtang, so as not to snub my friends." ”

An Ziluo nodded heavily, "That's what I thought." ”

Achar beat his chest again and exited the tent.

The bright moon hung down on the horizon, and a touch of fish belly white floated in the east.

An Ziluo packed up his tent and stepped on horseback.

Rejected the proposal of the guard guard to inform Kou Ji, and turned on his horse.

10,000 Qingtang soldiers, under the leadership of An Ziluo, turned over and mounted their horses.

An Ziluo took the lead in beating his chest with one hand to express his respect.

10,000 Qingtang soldiers followed closely and beat their chests with one hand.

"Driving ......"

An Ziluo rode his horse and left the tent with the Qingtang soldiers.

At a glance, you can see that in his team, many people are one-horse and two-in-one.

As soon as the backs of An Ziluo and his entourage disappeared, Kou Ji's figure appeared at the gate of the camp.

Qingtang people are very heroic and decisive.

They like to say goodbye without saying goodbye.

probably don't want those muddy feelings to wear out their ambitions.

Liu Heng didn't know when he appeared next to Kou Ji, and said to Kou Ji excitedly: "My brother-in-law left us a gift, a full three thousand high-grade war horses. ”

Kou Ji turned around, glanced at Liu Heng, and said strangely: "Now you know how to call your brother-in-law?" Why didn't you shout when he was there before? ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "He doesn't like the title of brother-in-law, I want to shout in front of him, he will beat me." I can't beat him at the moment. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and ordered, "Get everyone up and get ready to go." Tell them that the gifts given to them by the Qingtang people are private gifts and do not need to be handed over. ”

Qingtang soldiers and horses are far less calculating than those civil and military ministers in Qingtang.

They are simple and heroic.

In the short days when I got along with the people, the Japanese soldiers, and the men who patrolled the horses, I made a lot of friends.

So when they left, they left gifts for their friends.

There is no way to measure the price of a gift of friendship, let alone confiscate it and hand it over to the imperial court.

Kou Ji was in charge, so that those soldiers and people accepted the gifts and left the gifts.

There was only one gift, which was plundered by Koji.

That is the small golden knife that An Ziluo, who admired the leader of the patrol horse guard very much, and gave the leader of the patrol horse guard a small golden knife symbolizing the status of the nobility of Qingtang.
