After listening to Fan Zhongyan's story, Kou Ji opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

In order to effectively manage these tribes, the Liao State followed the example of the Song Dynasty and set up the Northwest Pacification and Recruitment Division in its territory.

Its territory is so vast that it is almost outsourced to the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty.

The easternmost part is close to the hinterland of the Liao State, and the westernmost point is close to the Black Khanate.

The territory area reached almost the sum of the original Western Xia and Hexi combined.

The people who were entrenched in it had three million accounts, to say the least.

Three million accounts is not three million people.

The account of the Liao State is equivalent to the household of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that the number of people in the Liao State Account is far less than the number of people in the Great Song Dynasty.

But even so, there must be about six million people in the three million accounts.

Now all the three million people are gone.

It is possible that he was slaughtered, he may have joined the team of murderers released by Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang, or it is possible that when the murderers entered the country, they pretended to be murderers and created a rebellion against the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Three million accounts, six million people, gone.

Appalling.

Koji was speechless in shock.

Fan Zhongyan stood aside, glanced at Kou Ji cautiously, and saw that Kou Ji was in shock, so he didn't speak again.

Kou Ji was shocked for a long time before he took a deep breath, dropped the sweat towel in his hand, and asked Fan Zhongyan with a blank face, "Does the official family know about this?" ”

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly said: "Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui have already written this matter into a document and reported it to the official family, and after the official family learned about it, they sent someone to pass the news to the lower officials, and instructed the lower officials to wait for you here and tell you the truth." ”

Kou Ji stared at Fan Zhongyan and said, "How are the officials going to solve this matter." ”

Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "The official family said that this matter will be handled by you with full authority. ”

Kou Ji said with an annoyed face, "Did I handle it?!" ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled stiffly and didn't dare to speak.

When others learned that Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang had released more than one million murderers and killed the northwest and southwest roads of Liaoguo, they were all applauding Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang.

But no one who can see the essence of this matter thinks that this matter is a good thing.

When Yang Wenguang and Wang Entourage released those murderers, they probably didn't want to control them, they probably wanted them to go to Liao State to make trouble casually, and it was best to make a mess in Liao State and strive for more advantages for the Great Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the more than one million murderers completely escaped from their control after leaving the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Those more than one million murderers, if they really killed all the people on the northwest and southwest roads of Liaoguo, then it would be fine.

The problem is that they didn't kill the air.

Even if they were able to kill again, it would be impossible for them to kill more than 6 million people in just one or two months.

It is even more impossible to kill more than 6 million people while still being able to complete a rapid march of thousands of miles.

Therefore, the more than one million murderers who ran out of the Great Song Dynasty could not kill the people on the northwest and southwest roads of Liaoguo.

They should have killed only some of them, possibly a very small one.

Most of the people in the Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao Kingdom should have joined the murderers either actively or passively after the entry of the Great Song Dynasty murderers, and accompanied them to burn, kill and loot together.

Therefore, they were able to deal with the people on the Northwest Road and the Southwest Road of Liao Kingdom in a very short period of time.

It was able to complete a rapid march of thousands of miles in a very short time, and entered the Jingnan Province and Jingbei Province of the Liao State to wreak havoc.

Therefore, it is very likely that the number of people who are causing rebellion in the territory of Liao has exceeded one million.

How many people there were, Kou Ji didn't dare to guess.

Because as time goes by, those who make trouble will snowball, bigger and bigger.

But whoever they run into someone will either be crushed by them or join them, there is no third way.

As long as it is an individual, as long as you don't want to die, you will join them.

Their numbers will naturally increase exponentially.

The way they developed was a bit like a popular uprising.

Hundreds of thousands of people rebelled against each other, and then coerced other people along the way, rolling bigger and bigger, and in a very short period of time, it will grow to the scale of hundreds of thousands.

They were different from the popular revolt because they had a huge base from the beginning.

The development will be faster, the rise will be more rapid, and the harm will be greater.

Their numbers must have exceeded the point where one man could control them.

What will happen to them next is full of variables.

No one can say.

It is possible that they will wreak havoc in the territory of the Liao State and completely tear the Liao State to pieces.

It is also possible to take advantage of the situation to invade the Great Song Dynasty and wreak havoc in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

They were more like locusts than the Black Khan soldiers led by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

No...... To be precise, the Black Khan soldiers led by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu are just like locusts, and they are real locusts.

Locusts cross the border, and not a single grass grows.

Before they die, any city that they remember or pass through will be eaten by them.

If they really attacked Da Song, Kou Ji really had no way to deal with it.

Because Kou Ji calculated a little, even if he pressed all the forces of the Great Song Dynasty to the border, he might not be able to withstand their impact.

Millions of people are rushing over, who will stop them? Who dares to stand in the way?

A model of displacement rebellion of this magnitude has never occurred in history, and there are no corresponding examples to learn from.

So Koji didn't know what to do with it.

Although the team formed in this way will fall apart after a very short period of madness.

But on their scale, before they fall apart, it's enough to tear some of the things in front of them to shreds.

Fan Zhongyan also knew the seriousness of the matter, so after Kou Ji got angry, he didn't dare to speak.

After a short period of venting, Kou Ji took several deep breaths and calmed down.

So far, it is useless for him to get angry.

He had to calm down and figure out how to solve the problem.

Kou Ji frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked Fan Zhongyan, "How is the battle in Yanyun?" ”

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly replied, "Yanyun's war is also very chaotic. After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led the soldiers and horses to Youzhou City, he has been attacking Youzhou City, but he has not used all his strength.

He wanted to drag the Chinese army of our Great Song Dynasty, wanted to lure Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang into the bait by luring the enemy into depth, and wanted to defeat the soldiers and horses of our Great Song Dynasty from the side.

In doing so, turn the tide on the battlefield.

It's just that Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang were not fooled.

After Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang successively took Yunzhou, Yingzhou and other places, they stuck to the same place and stopped.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's strategy to lure the enemy deeper did not work.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu couldn't make a plan and wanted to use a second plan.

It's just that before he could make a move, the news of Shangjing being breached in the hinterland of Liao State came out.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had to temporarily stop planning and began to pacify the soldiers in the army. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Zhongyan stopped.

Kou Ji said suspiciously: "Cao Wei didn't take the opportunity to attack? ”

Fan Zhongyan shook his head slowly.

Kou Ji groaned: "How did the capital in the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom break through? ”

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly told Kou Ji the news that Zhao Zhen had secretly arranged for Liu Heng to attack Shangjing, and added at the end: "Liu Heng did not stay after breaking through Shangjing, but withdrew from Shangjing with the capture in Shangjing.

The seizure has been sent to Dengzhou in our Great Song Dynasty by big ship, and Wang Xianggong has rushed to Dengzhou to receive it.

Liu Heng himself and his people still stayed in the territory of Liao, dealing with the Liao soldiers who stayed in Liao.

A month ago, Jiaozhi's reinforcements went up the coast and arrived in the territory of Liao, where they joined forces with Liu Heng.

Now the Liao Kingdom is in the northeast of the capital and other places, and it is also a mess. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he sighed with emotion: "There are Liu Heng and Jiaozhi soldiers and horses in the northeast, my Great Song Dynasty in the south, and a huge number of murderers in the west. Liao's current situation can be said to be embattled.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu tried his best to create a situation in which things were caught in my Great Song Dynasty.

My Da Song survived.

Now, the Liao Kingdom is embattled, and I want to see how the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu should respond. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Cao Wei didn't take the opportunity to defeat the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he should be waiting for the Liao State to be more completely chaotic." If Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was forced to retreat, Cao Wei would be able to take the sixteen states of Yanyun without bloodshed.

Those who are good at fighting have no great feats.

Sure enough, it's true.

The Liao State is now nothing to fear, but the huge number of thugs is not easy to deal with. ”

Fan Zhongyan listened to Kou Ji's words, thought about it for a while, and nodded approvingly.

He felt that the situation on the battlefield today was no different from what Kou Ji had analyzed.

Kou Ji sighed, "Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang are just mallets, and the evil ghosts dare to go out." ”

Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "They are also forced to do so. If they don't let those evil spirits out, those evil ghosts are likely to harm my Great Song. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Then they shouldn't set the rewards for military merit so generously." When Qin established the military merit system, there were only four million people in the whole country.

Four million people beat six countries, which shows how attractive the military merit system is to the people.

For those inmates who have endured a lot of hardship, the attraction is even greater.

They will risk their lives for the sake of military merit. ”

Fan Zhongyan also felt that the military rewards set by Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui were a little too generous.

Kou Ji sighed again, and said with a solemn expression: "Although those murderers are still wreaking havoc in the territory of Liao, we have to guard against it. Thankfully, they're now operating outside the Wall.

If we can take the entire Great Wall, we should be able to keep them out. ”

Millions of murderers are raging, like landslides, like tsunamis, and it is no longer an ordinary force that can withstand it.

Only with the help of the Great Wall.

Maybe there is still some hope to stop the murderer.

Kou Ji took Fan Zhongyan back to the study room temporarily placed in the post station, picked up his pen, and began to write the order.

Kou Ji wrote more than a dozen orders in one go, each of which was against a local soldier.

Kou Ji dispatched all the remaining local soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Wall from Xiliangcheng to Yunzhou in one go.

After writing the order, Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows, "Thirty-six hundred thousand people, guarding the thousands of miles of the Great Wall, is still a little weak. We'll have to find a way to add some strength to them. ”

Kou Ji took out half of his own military seals, and after stamping them one by one, he handed over the transfer order to Fan Zhongyan.

"Send someone back to Bianjing City as soon as possible, hand over the transfer order to the political affairs hall, let the political affairs hall be stamped as soon as possible, and then send it to the military department, let the military department stamp the military seal, and issue it to the local government as soon as possible.

Within a month, I will see all the 360,000 local soldiers I have dispatched appear on the Great Wall. ”

Fan Zhongyan took the appointment and hesitated.

Kou Ji's words were a little too tough, and there was a faint meaning of telling the political hall to do things.

The three prime ministers of the political hall are not something that Kou Ji can command.

If it is not good, it is a civil and military dispute that swept the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji seemed to see Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, he let out a sigh of relief, and said, "A catastrophe is coming soon, and I don't have so many worries, let alone think about it as complicated."

You sent someone to tell Lu Yijian and the others my words word for word.

Within a month, 360,000 local soldiers would not be able to reach the Great Wall.

I resigned, and then fled from the Great Song Dynasty with my whole family to avoid disaster.

When the calamity has passed, I will bring someone back to collect your body. ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he was shocked, "Is it really so serious?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan, "That's millions of people, not hundreds of people." If you really enter my Great Song, who can stop it? ”

Fan Zhongyan's face was a little ugly and said, "Xia Guan thought that you would have a way." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I'm a human, not a god. When the locusts crossed the border, I could only watch dryly, and I couldn't stop the locusts at all. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji slumped in his chair with some weakness.

Fan Zhong drowned and asked, "Is there really no way?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said, "If we can drive the Liao people out of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and completely control the Great Wall before they have the intention of entering my Great Song Dynasty."

With the help of the Great Wall, with the combined strength of the one million troops of our Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army and local soldiers, we may be able to resist one or two. ”

Fan Zhongyan gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Is there a sure way?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "There is ......"

Fan Zhongyan glared in vain and said in surprise: "Do you have a sure way to deal with them?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Making a plague will not only prevent them from invading my Great Song, but also make them die in a very short time." ”

The joy on Fan Zhongyan's face instantly stiffened, and his heart trembled.

Koji continued, "The plague that can kill millions of people is not easy. At that time, my Da Song will also have to pay a heavy price. There may be an equal number of people who will die, possibly more.

And outside the entire Great Wall, there is a possibility that it will turn into a dead land, and for more than ten years, I am afraid that no one will dare to set foot in it. ”

"No...... No way...... You can't use the plague ......"

Fan Zhongyan shouted with horror on his face.

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I'll just say it casually, are you still serious?" Is the plague thing in my hands? ”

Fan Zhongyan's face was a little pale, and he stared at Kou Ji without speaking.

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then glared slightly, "Do you really think I can control the plague?!" ”

Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "I naturally don't believe other people's words. Sir's words...... I believe. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really have confidence in me." ”

An ugly smile appeared on Fan Zhongyan's face.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "I can't control that thing." Even if I could borrow it, I wouldn't use it. I can kill people with a knife, and even pit countless enemies with intrigue and intrigue.

But I will never kill with the plague.

I'm a person, not a demon.

Only demons can go astray to control the plague and use it to kill. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji got up and patted Fan Zhongyan on the shoulder, "You are guarding the Shaanxi Mansion well." If I can't stand it in front, I will send you an order to recruit troops in Shaanxi Prefecture. ”

Fan Zhongyan looked at Kou Ji with a stunned expression, not understanding what Kou Ji meant.

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said, "When the time comes, I will ask the official family to restore the military merit system." ”

Fan Zhongyan looked stunned.

Kou Ji said faintly: "In the pre-Qin period, there were only four million people in Shaanxi Prefecture, and they violently attacked the six countries. There are more than four million people in Shaanxi now, and I want to see if they can beat up those millions of murderers. ”

Fan Zhongyan was stunned and stunned, and after a long time, Fan Zhongyan hesitated: "Kou Shumi values the people of Shaanxi Mansion very much? Is it because Kou Shumi was born in Shaanxi Mansion? ”

Kou Ji laughed, "It has nothing to do with the region. In my Huaxia, other places can talk about regions, but Shaanxi Province can't talk about regions. Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms all moved here; Han is strong and weak, and more people are moved here.

Therefore, in this place, there is no way to divide people by region, let alone who is from that region.

Moreover, no matter where people are, they are all Chinese people.

Since they are all Chinese, there should be no distinction between regions, and they should not value or despise anyone because of the region.

The reason why I chose this place is because the people here used to struggle and live on the border of my Great Song Dynasty.

More or less familiar with war.

Conscripted into the army, coupled with the encouragement of the military merit system, they should be able to burst out in a very short period of time with combat effectiveness that is not lost to the local soldiers.

Having them to help us at that time should ease some of our stress. ”

Fan Zhongyan said with some disbelief: "Then you mentioned the pre-Qin ......"

Kou Ji sighed and said, "You only see the benefits of the military merit system to the pre-Qin, but you don't see the disadvantages of the military merit system with the pre-Qin. Qin conquered and destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but in the process, four million people, how many people died, who knows? Who cares? Who counted? ”

Fan Zhongyan was shocked.

When the superior is fighting, his eyes are always on the battlefield, and he only cares about winning or losing the war, and few people care about the people.

When most people read history, what they see is how the pre-Qin was strong, how domineering, how to win the world, and how to establish the world's achievements.

But few people know how many white bones have been buried under the strong, domineering, world-conquering, and world-shattering achievements.

Some of the history of the pre-Qin period, Fan Zhongyan couldn't feel it.

But the history of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms closest to the Great Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan can faintly feel some of it.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, nearly 70 years of war.

How many people died?

Nearly 40 million people.

Forty million people, what a huge number.

It is almost half of the total population of the Great Song Dynasty now.

Those literati and writers wrote articles and lyrics, praised the heroes of the five dynasties and ten countries, scolded the bears of the five dynasties and ten countries, admired the beauties of the five dynasties and ten countries, and counted the emperors of the five dynasties and ten countries.

But few people cried out for the 40 million people who died.

Xing, the people are bitter.

Death, the people suffer.

It's really not just a casual talk.

The meaning of Kou Ji's words, Fan Zhongyan probably figured it out.

Kou Ji was telling Fan Zhongyan that it was really time to recruit the people from Shaanxi Mansion, and that was the most dangerous time for the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, it was necessary to fill it with countless lives, and it was necessary to consume it with countless lives.

Until one of the two sides can't bear it.

The people of Shaanxi Prefecture were temporarily transferred, and it is very likely that many people will die.

Fan Zhongyan, as the prefect of Shaanxi Mansion, thought that when Shaanxi Mansion was ten rooms and nine empty, his heart trembled.

Kou Ji saw Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and comforted: "The situation may not happen to that point, so don't think too much." I'm just preparing in advance to avoid having trouble dealing with the situation when it gets worse. ”

Fan Zhongyan heard Kou Ji comforting him, tilted his head slightly, and squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.

Kou Ji continued: "I can't stay here any longer, I have to rush to Youzhou City as soon as possible, urge the official family and Cao Wei to end the war as soon as possible, and take the Great Wall into our hands as soon as possible."

If we can't master the Great Wall, then there is really no hope. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji patted Fan Zhongyan on the shoulder and walked out of the study.

Out of the study, Kou Ji loudly greeted his subordinates, personal officials, and personal officials, and hurried as soon as possible.

When the official greeted Kou Ji, he glanced at the sky and couldn't help but say, "Kou Shumi, it's getting late, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to hurry now." ”

Kou Ji didn't explain much, but just coldly ordered, "Do as I say." ”

When the official heard this, he didn't dare to say more, and immediately went down to prepare his bags with the others.

When everything is ready.

Kou Ji stepped on the night that had just ended, and rushed out of the post station.

Behind him, the subordinates, the pro-servants, and the pro-ministers followed closely.

After hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Fan Zhongyan stumbled out of the post station, looking at Kou Ji's figure that gradually disappeared into the night, and roared loudly.

"You've got to win!"

"Gotta win!"

“……”

Fan Zhongyan seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so his voice came far, far away.

There was a faint echo, repeating his words over and over again.

After Kou Ji ran out of the Fengzhou Post Station, he rushed all the way to Youzhou City.

Kou Ji rushed to the Tongguan Post Station without sleeping.

The horse under the crotch neighed, fell to the ground and never got up again.

Kou Ji didn't care about pity for the horses, and after changing into a horse in the post station, he continued to gallop to Youzhou City.

Three days and two nights later.

Kou Ji path Kaifeng Fu Station.

Three figures, one large, two small, stood in front of the post station, looking forward to it.

Thank you for the 10,000 book coins reward of 'Qicai sewing thread'! Thanks to the 'cute disciples,' 2,000 book coins for the reward! Thank you 'Lin Hai Feiyun' for a reward of 1,000 book coins!
