"By defeating the name of Western Xia, it makes sense to win people's hearts."

Zhu Neng pondered for a moment and hesitated: "But this is a false name after all, and there is no substantial benefit." Qingtang Ken joined us in attacking the Huangtou Hui because they could take the opportunity to take half of the Huangtou Hui territory.

The land west of the river, you plan to include all of it in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and Qingtang sent troops to Hexi, and there are no substantial benefits to be gained.

It is impossible for Kakugara to send troops easily.

If he sent troops to Hexi for his own selfish anger, then he would not be a qualified lord of Qingtang. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Qingtang's dispatch of troops to Hexi, of course, is not just a false name. ”

Zhu Neng was stunned and said, "Can you still divide part of Hexi to Qingtang?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "As you just said, I am determined to win the land west of the river, and I will not give anyone a penny. ”

Zhu Neng frowned puzzled, "Then Qingtang sent troops to Hexi, what else could he plot?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "Qingtang sent troops to Hexi, although he couldn't get the territory of Hexi, but he could show his loyalty to my Great Song Dynasty. As long as he shows his loyalty to my Great Song, my Great Song will naturally not treat him badly. ”

Zhu Neng instantly understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words, he stared at Kou Ji and asked in a deep voice, "You promised other benefits to Qingtang Zampu Jiaoluo?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Qingtang intends to form a heavy armored iron horse, and I am ready to help them." ”

Zhu Neng was shocked when he heard this.

"A lesson from the past, a teacher from the back. My Great Song Dynasty raised a Western Xia, which has already given us a headache, if we are raising a Qingtang, then it will be repaid? ”

In the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a fierce tiger of the Liao State.

In the north, there is a jackal of Western Xia.

If you fatten the green pond again.

That would be a three-sided attack.

Once the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia, and Qingtang marched to the Great Song Dynasty on three sides at the same time.

The Great Song Dynasty is not far from the death of the country.

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's words, was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhu Neng, and said very seriously: "What you can think of, how can I not think of it." But have you ever thought that if we don't raise Qingtang? Wouldn't others raise it?

Western Xia and Liao, how to grow up step by step, you know better than me.

If it weren't for me, the Great Song Dynasty spared no effort to cultivate talents for the Western Xia and Liao.

If it weren't for me, the wealthy families of the Great Song Dynasty would spare no effort to sell ordnance to Western Xia and Liao.

Western Xia and Liao, why did they become the henchmen of my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhu Neng fell into silence for a moment, and his face was very ugly.

He knew that Kou Ji was telling the truth.

The Great Song Dynasty had no secrets for the Liao State and Western Xia.

Therefore, what talents and ordnance the Great Song Dynasty had, the Western Xia and the Liao State knew very well.

Those who were often excluded in the Great Song Dynasty and depressed in the Great Song Dynasty were all the targets of Liao's recruitment.

Some talents who are very famous in the Great Song Dynasty, Liao will also take the initiative to throw an olive branch.

Under the temptation of the high-ranking officials promised by the Liao State, many good people defected from the Great Song Dynasty and became high-ranking officials of the Liao State.

Although the Western Xia was not as domineering as the Liao State, it also secretly gathered many good talents who defected from the Great Song Dynasty and entrusted them with important tasks.

Not to mention the armaments.

As long as the starting price of Western Xia and Liao, any ordnance of the Great Song Dynasty, they can get drawings and samples.

Hundreds of tigers appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, but only in a few months.

On the border of Song and Liao, some people have begun to smuggle hundreds of tigers and sell such a country's important weapon to Liao.

Thus.

Whether the Great Song Dynasty will raise Qingtang or not, and whether it can fatten Qingtang, is not what Kou Ji and his Zhu Neng say.

As long as Qingtang can promise heavy profits, there will always be people who will take risks and sell what Qingtang needs to Qingtang.

Seeing that Zhu Neng fell into silence, Kou Ji continued to sigh: "Since we can't stop this matter, let's find a way to guide this matter and control it." We will give the things to Qingtang, and the money will be earned by us.

While we earn money in Qingtang, we can also control the number of sharp weapons in Qingtang and understand the important news of Qingtang's military aircraft.

After all, wars are fought by people, not weapons.

If only we could get all the information we wanted to know.

When we really go to war with Qingtang, what are we afraid of? ”

Kou Ji slowly puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Although I don't know much about military affairs, I also know that knowing myself and knowing my opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

Zhu Neng heard Kou Ji's words, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

He is a military minister after all.

He is very proficient in things like marching and fighting.

In terms of human sophistication, he is not weak.

But when it comes to intrigue, he's not really good at it.

If he is good at intrigue, he doesn't have to be attached to Kou Zhun's door.

Kou Jijiang's reasoning is very superficial, and he can understand it.

But the plan behind his back made him very ignorant when he listened to it.

Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng twice, and roughly guessed why Kou Ji frowned, he smiled and said: "To put it simply, we control the way to trade with Qingtang, and use the weapons in our hands to exchange a lot of money from Qingtang." And then with the money of Qingtang, let us become stronger.

The point is that the money is in our hands and can be used to strengthen the country.

If the money falls into the hands of those profiteers, it will either be buried in the soil or stuffed into the Goolan Courtyard, and it will be useless to the country. ”

Zhu Neng thought about Kou Ji's words carefully, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he rubbed his eyebrows and didn't think about it anymore, "I don't understand the matter of calculating people." I don't know how to increase the national strength.

I will fight, only war.

Wherever the court tells me to fight, I will fight.

I don't want to think about the rest, I have a headache when I think too much.

But there is one thing I must warn you of.

You kid helped Qingtang forge heavy armored cavalry, and it seems that you are earning Qingtang's money and helping me to strengthen the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, it is seeking the skin of the tiger.

Kakuro is not a simple character, and he will definitely not be satisfied with the current situation.

Once his strength increases greatly, he will definitely covet my Great Song.

The world is big, but there are few places that can compare to my great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the surrounding neighbors are all worried about the territory of my Great Song Dynasty.

No one is an exception.

Because no one likes to stay where birds don't poop. ”

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's instructions and said with a smile: "So I buried a nail behind Qingtang early. ”

Zhu Neng was stunned and happy.

"Motoyamabe...... I had forgotten about them. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and smiled: "Qingtang can exchange money with my Great Song for craftsmen and iron materials to make armaments. The same can be done with Motoyamabe. Even, as long as the Motoyama Department pays money, we can send the complete armament to them, saving them the effort of tossing in the middle.

As long as we take Hexi, we don't need to go through Qingtang, and we can also want to transport armaments to Yuanshan.

Qingtang wants to stab me with Song Da, and he has to ask Yuanshan if he agrees. ”

"It's really ......"

Zhu Neng relieved the worries in his heart, and there was more smile on his face, and after casually echoing a sentence, he seemed to remember something, and said jokingly: "I don't know when the Kou Ministry was promoted to the governor?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this.

I heard Zhu Neng continue to quip: "When was I promoted to privy councilor?" ”

Kou Ji was happy, he understood the meaning of Zhu Neng's words.

Not in his position, not in his politics.

Although the two of them are already important ministers in the court, they are still some distance from the real center of power.

The topics that the two of them talked about, the things they were worried about, were obviously not something they should worry about.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Take precautions." Now I'm not a governor, and you're not a privy councilor. If we can take Hexi this time, after returning to Bianjing, we can also help you plan the position of the deputy privy envoy. ”

Zhu Neng's background is always too shallow.

It is simply impossible to take the position of privy envoy from the hands of Gong from a high place.

But it's still okay to plan and plan the deputy privy envoy.

Kou Ji originally thought that Zhu Neng would agree with his mouth, but he didn't expect that Zhu Neng actually smiled and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's too uncomfortable to sit as a mud bodhisattva."

I still prefer to stay in the barracks.

Besides, those who can sit in the position of privy envoys have dirty hearts.

My heart is not dirty enough to fight them.

If you take Hexi this time, after returning to Beijing, you can ask the official family to ask a grandfather to sit down.

If any of my children and grandchildren can succeed, he will be able to conspire with the privy counsellors. ”

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's words, was slightly stunned, and nodded slowly.

He could understand Zhu Neng's thoughts.

From the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, those who sit in the position of privy envoys are either the founding generals, or the famous generals who were born in the generals, or the meritorious ministers who have the support of the official family.

Heritage, merit, and background are all indispensable.

Although Wenchen was able to suppress the privy envoys, he was not yet at the point of replacing them.

Zhu Neng's credit is enough.

But the background and background are not enough.

He did not have the father of the founding general, nor did he have the grandfather of the founding general.

From his emergence to the present, he has always regarded himself as Kou Zhun's horse.

ran over halfway to be loyal to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen might not necessarily trust him.

Not to mention introducing him as a confidant and vigorously promoting it.

If he wins this battle, he will be made a duke for his contribution to expanding the territory.

Among the top generals in Bianjing City, there will inevitably be an additional Zhu family.

After his death, he can also mix a nickname with the word martial or the word loyalty.

As long as his children and grandchildren are not too bastards, with his merits, they can have a smooth career in office.

If the descendants become a little more successful, and mix a little credit with themselves, the deputy privy envoy and the privy envoy are not impossible to plot.

Zhu Neng made clear arrangements for his future life, and Kou Ji was not easy to interfere with.

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "With the friendship between you and me, if I meet my own brother in the court in the future, I will naturally take care of one or two." ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he grinned, and his smile was very bright.

Kou Ji's future is bright.

Whether it is in the Great Song Dynasty or outside the Great Song Dynasty, he can mix and thrive.

With him taking care of his own children and grandchildren, his children and grandchildren will naturally not suffer in the court in the future.

Zhu Neng smiled and hugged Kou Ji's fist, "Then I'll take care of the few people in the family first, thank you." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "With the friendship between you and me, what is there to talk about." ”

Zhu Neng nodded with a smile and said, "Let's get down to business...... Now that you have made clear arrangements for the reinforcements of Western Xia, then we don't need to worry about Li Zhaoliang in front.

We just need to wait here now, wait for Li Yuanhao to run out of the Yumen Pass if he can't sit still, and then defeat him in one fell swoop. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "It's best to leave Li Yuanhao at Yumen Pass." This person is quite hostile to me and to the Great Song Dynasty, and it has always been a scourge to keep him. ”

Zhu Nengba pursed his mouth and hesitated: "It's easy to defeat Li Yuanhao, but it's a bit difficult to leave Li Yuanhao." You also know that the cavalry in our hands is always one line behind the cavalry of Western Xia. ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "Then block Li Yuanhao in the Yumen Pass, don't let him come out." ”

Zhu Neng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Li Yuanhao in the Yumen Pass, I am afraid that he has now made up the iron harrier, plus the tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands, if he breaks through from the Yumen Pass, Zhu Nengke will not be able to stop it.

"The patrol guards, artillery, and invincible mine cannons in my hands are all at your disposal."

"Then you can give it a try."

Zhu Neng thought about it and said.

The two chatted about business and chatted some more gossip.

After the chat.

Accompanied by Zhu Neng, Kou Ji went out of the big tent of the Chinese army, found the leader of the patrol guard, and ordered: "From today on, your party will be dispatched by General Zhu." ”

When the leader of the guard heard this order, he hesitated.

"Little master, the villains are your troops, not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

Kou Ji pouted and said, "It's just for the time being under General Zhu." ”

The leader of the Horse Patrol shook his head, "That's not going to work. We are now in a place of war, and we may encounter danger at any time, so brothers should follow you and protect you. ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he heard the leader of the patrol horse guard continue: "This place is not comparable to the victory river. The brothers do not know much about the situation in this place and do not dare to leave your side.

If you kill an enemy from somewhere, it hurts you.

The brothers will not be able to atone for their sins. ”

The leader of the Horse Patrol was vaguely telling Koji.

They were very familiar with the terrain of the Desheng River, and they were also very familiar with the enemy situation around the Desheng River.

That's why I dared to leave him and go to Shengchuan to fight.

But Yumen Pass is different.

They have been wandering in the Western Regions for many years, but they have never approached Yumen Pass.

He was not familiar with the terrain of Yumen Pass, so he couldn't leave Kou Ji's side.

Kou Ji wanted to reprimand the leader of the patrol guard, but after thinking about it again, he still didn't scold him for this.

They are tribals, not servants.

The value of life is one with Kou Ji.

It's okay to scold on weekdays.

But on a serious occasion, there should be respect, and there should still be there.

Kou Ji thought for a moment and said, "That's it...... If you don't want to, follow me. Let the other patrol guards go to General Zhu's command to listen to it, right? ”

The leader of the patrol guard did not refute this time, but nodded.

Although they belong to the same patrol guard, there are still differences.

They were the tribes of the Koufu, but the other guards were not.
