Kou Ji finally hired Du Yan to help him handle the government affairs of Hexi at the price of ten taels of gold per day.

Du Yan's appearance, and Du Yan's initiative to signal him to help him do things, reminded Kou Ji of something.

Kou Ji found that the bigger he worked, the more government affairs he had to deal with.

In the general direction of government affairs, he can still grasp it, but in the small direction, he can't grasp it all.

It's not that he doesn't have that ability, it's that he doesn't have the time.

It is impossible for him to divide himself into innumerable pieces and distribute them to every place.

"I need to recruit staff, I need to recruit a group of people who can help me with chores......"

Kou Ji sat in the City Lord's Mansion of Xiliang City, watching Du Yan help him deal with government affairs, and sighed sincerely.

Du Yan didn't hear him, and if Du Yan heard him, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.

When manpower is poor, if a person really wants to be able to do everything well, why do you need civil and military officials in the court?

The emperor can handle everything alone.

With Du Yan's help, Kou Ji didn't need to lock himself in Xiliang City.

He stayed in Xiliang City for a few days, observed Du Yan's way of handling government affairs, and confirmed that Du Yan had not changed the general direction of his administration, so he handed over government affairs to Du Yan with confidence.

For Du Yan, Kou Ji still knows something.

Although this person likes to spray people, he is one of the few upright ministers in the court.

He helped the imperial court to do things, which was down-to-earth.

As long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, he will definitely not destroy it.

And many of the decrees issued by Kou Ji in Hexi are beneficial to the imperial court, and he will naturally not destroy them.

Kou Ji didn't have to worry about Du Yan making profits for himself behind his back.

With his status and status, if he is really greedy for money, he doesn't need to go to great lengths to plan.

As soon as he released the signal of greed for money, countless people ran to his house and offered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Because he is the leader of the Imperial History, the Imperial Historical Observatory.

He spoke in the court, and the weight was heavier than that of the six Shangshu.

If he favors one person in the court, there is a high chance that he can help one person obtain great benefits.

For this alone, there are countless officials who are willing to send him money to spend.

After Kou Ji handed over the government affairs of Hexi to Du Yan, he left Xiliang Mansion with the men who patrolled the horse guards and rushed to Shazhou.

Not long ago, Yang Wenguang sent someone to send a letter to tell Kou Ji.

The war of the Yellow Head has come to an end.

Yuanshan and Qingtang divided the territory of Huangtou Huifu.

Qingtang relied on the advantage of striking first and occupied most of the territory of Huangtou Huifu.

Yuanshan's subordinates were late, so they only occupied a small part of the territory of Huangtou Hui.

Even so, the territory occupied by the Yuanshan tribe of the Yellow Head Uighurs was comparable to that of the Shazhou Uighurs before the fall.

Now the war in the territory of Huangtou Hui has completely ended.

There are two things that need to be witnessed by Koji, the angel of the Heavenly Empire.

One.

Wonsanbu and Qingtang conclude an alliance.

It is necessary for a third party of Da Song to enter it and be a witness.

Second.

The Yuanshan Department should gain a foothold in the original Huangtou Hui territory.

The angelic witness of the Great Song Dynasty is needed.

To put it simply, when the Yuanshan Department set up a mountain in the territory of Huangtou Huifu, it was necessary for the Great Song Dynasty to correct the name of the Yuanshan Department in the past.

Kou Ji took people and spent a full month, running around the Great Snow Mountain for most of the circle, before entering the territory of Huangtou Huifu.

To be precise, it is within the territory of the Wonsan Department.

Zhang Yuan picked and chose among the occupied territories, and finally chose Chai Dan City as the royal court of the Yuanshan Division.

Chaidan City is one of the rare big cities under the rule of the original Huangtou Hui Hui.

The scale of the city can be comparable to that of Xiliang City.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty led by Yang Wenguang were stationed on the east side outside the city of Chaidan.

On the west side of Chaidan City, there are all kinds of small tents, stationed with soldiers and horses in all kinds of clothes.

It seems that Zhang Yuan recovered some small tribes of the Huangtou Hui in the process of conquering the Huangtou Hui.

Yang Wenguang and Zhang Yuan, after getting the news of Kou Ji's arrival, led their henchmen and the leaders of some small tribes to personally greet them out of Twenty Miles.

Zhang Yuan also specially prepared a very luxurious frame for Kou Ji to stay.

Kou Ji was not polite, and after seeing Zhang Yuan and Yang Wenguang, they exchanged a few words of greeting and boarded the luxurious frame.

Kou Ji is not a person who likes to be ostentatious.

But at this moment he had to be public.

His trip represents the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao Zhen, and he needs to have a certain sense of ceremony and solemnity.

In the neat shouts of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, and the welcome of the small tribes in the territory of the Yuanshan Tribe, Kou Ji entered Chaidan City.

Entered Chaidan City.

The most common sights are pedestrians, goods, and camels.

The war did not destroy the commerce in Chaidan City, but made the commerce in Chaidan City more prosperous.

Zhang Yuan has been in the Western Regions for a long time, and he probably figured out the habits of the people in the Western Regions.

Therefore, after he occupied Chaidan City, he quickly restored the commerce in Chaidan City.

The people in Chaidan City do not seem to have been affected by any war, and business transactions are very lively.

Kou Ji saw the prosperity of Chaidan City and had to sigh that Zhang Yuan was really a talent.

Under the guidance of Zhang Yuan, Kou Ji entered the palace temporarily placed in Chai Dan City.

Accompanied by Zhang Yuan, Yang Wenguang, and the leaders of various small tribes, they watched some songs and dances, ate some wine and food, and said some polite words, and then completely dispersed.

Not long after Zhang Yuan sent someone to settle Kou Ji.

Yang Wenguang took the lead in finding Kou Ji.

Not long after Yang Wenguang sat down, Zhang Yuan also arrived in Kou Ji's room.

After the three of them sat down.

Kou Ji smiled with satisfaction: "It can be seen that the two of you got along well during the Huangtou Huifu campaign. ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, he smiled and said, "The leader of Yuanshan is the wisest one among the many grassland clan leaders I have ever seen. It is really a blessing for such a wise tribal leader to be able to sincerely take refuge in my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhang Yuan said very humbly: "General Yang is laughing, General Yang is also the most capable of fighting in my life in Yuanshan." ”

Yang Wenguang shook his head ashamedly and said: "The leader of Yuanshan laughed, as far as I know, the battle of Shengchuan was planned by the leader of Yuanshan. In the process of conquest of Huangtou Huifu, many insights of the leader of Yuanshan also made Yang Mou stunned.

In terms of being able to fight well, Yang is not as good as the leader of Yuanshan. ”

Kou Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "You two don't brag about yourself, you are not outsiders." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Wenguang and Zhang Yuan both looked at Kou Ji in amazement.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The Yuanshan Department and I are allies of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have also had a blood alliance with the leader of Yuanshan. After careful calculation, the leader of Yuanshan and I can also call each other brothers.

Since they are brothers, they are their own people, so don't say so many polite words to your own people. ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, his face suddenly realized.

He was really taken aback by Kou Ji's words.

He also thought that Kou Ji and the leader of Wonsan had some ulterior secrets.

It turned out that Kou Ji said this in order to get closer to Yuanshanbu.

Zhang Yuan heard Kou Ji's words, and instantly understood Kou Ji's thoughts, Kou Ji said this, also to facilitate the two of them to understand Chu in the future, and immediately he said very cooperatively: "Not bad...... In Danshan City, in order to win the trust of my people from the Yuanshan tribe, Kou Angel made a blood alliance with me. Now he has sent a large army to help my Yuanshan Department gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

Angel and I are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. ”

Yang Wenguang was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's pick-up, very satisfied.

Da Song can have one more ally like a loyal dog, he has made great contributions in it, and later returned to the court, and when it comes to credit, it is also a great achievement.

If the Yuanshan Department helps the Great Song Dynasty to make contributions in the future, it will also have his hidden credit.

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Kou Ji said straight to the point: "The Yuanshan Department is now based in the Western Regions, and it is willing to send an envoy to Bianjing City to submit a credential to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to express his submission." ”

Zhang Yuan hammered his chest with one hand and said very solemnly: "Yuanshan represents the Yuanshan Department and is willing to surrender to the Celestial Empire. ”

Koji nodded, "That's good." ”

Previously, the Yuanshan Department did not have a foothold in the Western Regions, and all the agreements between Kou Ji and Zhang Yuan were verbal agreements.

Now that the Yuanshan Department has gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions, it is necessary to submit credentials to the Great Song Dynasty and sign a formal covenant.

The rules that should be followed must be observed, and the process that should be followed must also be followed.

After confirming that the Yuanshan Department was willing to sincerely surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, Kou Ji could easily say a lot of things, "The leader of Yuanshan is ready to conclude an alliance with Qingtang, and I am invited to witness the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what kind of alliance the Yuanshan Department and Qingtang are going to conclude." ”

Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "We are brothers' states with each other, open border cities, and we must not attack each other." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, with a thoughtful expression.

Qingtang, as a strong country in the Western Regions, did not ask Yuanshan to pay tribute when he signed an alliance with Yuanshan, and also revealed his ambition to annex Yuanshan, which really surprised Kou Ji.

If Kou Ji was in Qingtang, he would definitely not hesitate to coerce the Yuanshan Department and let the Yuanshan Department pay tribute to Qingtang.

Between countries, between forces, the most applicable is the law of the jungle.

Qingtang's uncharacteristically friendly gesture towards Yuanshanbu is there any concern, or is there another purpose?

Zhang Yuan saw that Kou Ji was in deep thought, so he said in a low voice: "Kou Angel, I don't know if I have more than 2,000 warriors in the Yuanshan Division, when will you return them?" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, thought about it, and understood the meaning of Zhang Yuan's words.

Zhang Yuan fell in love with more than 2,000 warriors in the mountains, that is, the soldiers who patrolled the horses, and this time they shined in many battlefields in the Western Regions.

There are very few soldiers in the Western Regions who can compare to them.

Qingtang was probably worried about the more than 2,000 warriors in the Yuanshan Division.

To be exact, two thousand heavily armored warriors of the Yuanshan Division.

Two thousand warriors of the Motoyamabe with muskets in their hands.

If the warriors of the Yuanshan Department did not have heavy armor and muskets in their hands, then Qingtang would still show goodwill to the Yuanshan Division?

Heavy armor and muskets are the key to determining Qingtang's attitude towards Yuanshanbu.

If the warriors of the Yuanshan tribe did not have heavy armor and muskets in their hands, would Qingtang tear up the covenant in the near future?

Yes!

Definitely!

As long as Qingtang has a heavy armor ride, he will definitely not sit safely.

We will definitely expand our territory and establish supreme achievements.

Even if Qingtang had a heavy armor horse, he didn't dare to be rude to the Great Song Dynasty.

Because Qingtang had seen the great Song muskets, artillery, and heavy armor horses, he would definitely not turn his face with the Great Song Dynasty until he got the muskets and artillery.

If Qingtang wants to expand its territory, it can only attack the nearest Yuanshan department.

Covenants are only temporary, and benefits are eternal.

After figuring out the joints, Kou Ji had a bottom in his heart.

The armor of the Iron Harrier captured from Western Xia could not be sold to Qingtang for the time being, and the time for Qingtang to establish a heavy armor cavalry must be delayed.

Kou Ji looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "The warriors of your department will come back later." Before that, I have a question for Wonsan Chief. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Kou Angel, please speak." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "What is the harvest of your ministry's expedition to Huangtou Hui this time?" ”

Zhang Yuan groaned: "The harvest is not small, half of it was handed over to the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers, and the other half was kept in my hands." ”

The Great Song Dynasty helped the Yuanshan Department to conquer the city, so he naturally wanted to take the spoils.

It is impossible to help Motoyamabe for free.

Yang Wenguang took half of it, which was already very polite, and if it was replaced by people like Li Zhaoliang and Gao Chugong, they would take at least seventy percent.

After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Kou Ji said with a smile: "I don't know if the leader of Yuanshan can hand over a part of your harvest to me." ”

Zhang Yuan pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said solemnly: "I have decided to offer a generous gift to His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, if Kou Angel still needs a rich private gift, Yuan Shan is willing to offer it." ”

Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "I won't take your benefits in vain." I, the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, fought fiercely with the Western Xia soldiers and horses outside Yangguan and Yumen Pass, and captured a batch of heavy armor, which I can sell to the Yuanshan Department. ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he was about to open his mouth to stop it.

Kou Ji glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

Yang Wenguang closed his mouth unwillingly.

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he pretended to be overjoyed and said, "Is the Celestial Dynasty really willing to sell the heavy armor of the Western Xia soldiers and horses to my Yuanshan Division?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yuan said very happily: "Yuanshan is willing to give everything he ......"

Kou Ji smiled with satisfaction: "Then ask the leader of Yuanshan to go down and prepare early." ”

Zhang Yuan got up excitedly, beat his chest, confessed, and left the room.

Yang Wenguang listened to Zhang Yuan's footsteps and walked away, before he couldn't help but speak: "Brother Xian, why did you sell the heavy armor captured from Western Xia to the Yuanshan Ministry?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "We don't need it, and it's a waste to keep it." It's better to use the waste and use it to squeeze out the money of the Yuanshan Department. ”

"How could it not be used?"

Yang Wenguang said eagerly: "The sharpness of the Xixia Iron Harrier is well known. We've got their armor, and we only need a little repair to make an Iron Harrier that belongs to my Great Song Dynasty. ”
