Chapter 0559: Mr. Xia!
Divide and Divide ......
After Li Di listened to Kou Ji's words, he understood Kou Ji's thoughts.
He was satisfied with the way Kou Ji had handled it.
He was also afraid that Kou Ji was young and didn't know how to deal with such things, so he was ready to help.
Seeing that Kou Ji handled this matter very properly, he didn't need to speak again.
Ji Yan heard Kou Ji's words, and gritted his teeth slightly unwillingly.
If the clan is separated, it will be difficult to get together in the future.
After a few years, I am afraid that not many people will remember the existence of the Ganzhou Uighurs.
However.
Even if Ji Yan was unwilling, he had to succumb to Kou Ji's majesty.
Yesterday, the scene of the Song army killing 30,000 Western Xia prisoners outside Xiliang City is vivid.
He had no doubt that if he disobeyed Kou Ji's will, Kou Ji would trap them.
After all, Kou Ji did not show any mercy when dealing with the Shazhou Uighurs.
I will not be merciful to them.
"It's all on the orders of Kou Chin......"
Ji Yan lowered his head very requigetatively and replied respectfully.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can go down and prepare." ”
"Li Zhaoliang, you go and help a group of Jiyan patriarchs."
"......"
Li Zhaoliang took Ji Yan out of the hall.
There are only three people left in the hall: Kou Ji, Jiao Luo, Li Di, and Chong Shiheng.
Kou Ji smiled: "I'm afraid Zhu Neng will need some time to count those goods clearly, and we can't sit still." Why don't you have someone prepare some food and drinks, and we'll talk about it. ”
Kakuro smiled and nodded, "That's very good......"
Li Di and Chong Shiheng also nodded.
Kou Ji sent someone to get a table of wine and food.
The four of them sat in the hall, eating and drinking, talking and laughing.
All four of them are talkative people, so they don't have to worry about having no topics to talk about.
From the ancient and modern Chinese history, we talked about the ancient and modern history of the Western Regions.
From the history of the Western Regions in ancient and modern times, it also talks about the armament of blades.
Li Di and Chong Shiheng are highly educated, astronomy and geography, medicine and astrology, etc., all of which are incomprehensible.
Jiaoluo is the master of a department, and he also treasures the history, humanity, and style of the Western Regions.
All three of them are masterpieces in the world.
So the dabbling is very broadcast.
Of course, Koji is not weaker than them.
Koji didn't tell them much else, just told them about Baghdad, about the Hall of Wisdom, about the city that was suspended in the air.
It's enough to make them fascinated.
The three of them looked at Kou Ji's eyes full of fire, and they couldn't wait to pull Kou Ji to talk all night.
For Koji, Baghdad, the Wisdom Pavilion, and the Sky City are nothing.
But for Li Di and the others, it is very new.
After dark.
When Kou Ji showed a tired look, Li Di still excitedly tugged at Kou Ji's sleeve and asked, "In the far west, there is really a city built in the air, and there are really endless fruit trees and endless sweet milk?" ”
Kou Ji glanced at the three Li Di, who were very excited, took four chopsticks, held up a disc, pointed to the plate and said, "Build a city on it, it is a city in the sky......"
Chong Shiheng said in astonishment: "How long are the pillars to hold the city in the air?" Can it be done by manpower? ”
Jiao Luo said a little uncertainly: "Is there really a god and Buddha in the world?" ”
Li Di said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Zi is silent......"
Kou Ji interrupted Li Di's words and said lightly: "The Great Wall left behind in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the galloping road left in the Qin and Han dynasties, in the eyes of many people, are also miracles that cannot be completed by manpower, and they have not appeared alive in front of your eyes?"
The thousands of grottoes in the Thousand Buddha Caves, the stone Buddhas with a height of the feet, in the eyes of distant Westerners, are also difficult to complete by manpower, and they are not easy to appear in front of everyone's eyes? ”
"How can the pillars that hold up the city in the sky be accomplished by manpower?"
Kakuro hesitated with some uncertainty.
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Dig a pit in the ground, put one end of the stone pillar in it, and then use a noose, tie thousands of ways on it, and you can erect it." ”
Chong Shiheng exclaimed: "The manpower and material resources consumed are probably unimaginable. ”
Li Di commented: "If there really is such a city in the far west, the person who built the city must be a tyrant comparable to the first emperor. ”
Kou Ji covered his mouth and yawned, but did not speak.
He regretted it a little.
I regret talking about it.
He forgot that the people were always curious about new things.
also slightly lost the curiosity of Li Di and the others.
"Kou, what's the matter with the endless fruits and endless sweet milk in the air city?"
Kakuro asked very seriously.
Kou Ji said: "Dig a circular canal and send people to continuously pour honey and sweet milk at one end, and people in other places naturally have endless sweet milk to drink."
As for the fruit trees that cannot be picked...... Someone picks it on one side, and someone hangs it on the other, but can't it be finished? ”
When Li Di heard this, he said indignantly: "How can the people not see through such a move of working the people and hurting money, and how can it be regarded as a miracle?" ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he glanced at Li Di and said nonchalantly: "In the past years in the Daqing Palace, there were immortals who called for wind and rain and summoned goddesses to come, didn't some people believe it?" ”
When Li Di heard this, he gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and did not say anything more.
He had already understood what the so-called city in the sky was, and what the miracle of the endless fruit and the endless milk was.
A group of high-ranking people, through the foolish behavior of the gods and Buddhas.
He felt sick to think about it.
Kou Ji depicted a fairyland-like city for Li Di and the three of them, and pierced it with his own hands, putting the fly camp dog Gou in front of Li Di and the three of them, and Li Di and the three of them suddenly lost interest in the city in the sky.
One by one, they no longer talked about Kou Ji.
They got up and left.
After sending Li Di and the others away, Kou Ji was led by the guards in the City Lord's Mansion to rest in a bedroom.
Kou Ji had everything going smoothly in his hands, and he slept very deeply.
Li Yuanhao, who was on the bank of the Hongshui River, couldn't sleep.
On the banks of the babbling river.
There was a tent pitched.
Inside and outside the tent, countless figures swayed, but few people spoke.
In the past, the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia, who liked to wrestle and amuse in their leisure time, were all sitting outside the tent with a sad face at the moment, looking at the direction of Xiliang City.
The flickering torches seemed to become a little dull as their mood grew.
Inside and outside the Western Xia military camp, there was a sense of sadness and desolation.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li Yuanhao sat on the couch blankly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked blankly at the outside of the tent.
On the table in front of him lay a very rough wooden box with a human head in it.
The human head was covered with blood, and it looked very terrifying.
In front of the table.
Yeli Yuqi no longer had the calmness of the past, he sat on the ground, staring at the box in front of Li Yuanhao with his hair scattered, his red eyes twitching in a low voice.
The other Western Xia generals in the tent hung their heads one by one with sad faces.
The first battle in Hexi.
Western Xia can be said to have failed miserably.
Not only did they fail to take Hexi, but they also lost the captured gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses in Hexi.
In addition, two elite soldiers and horses of Western Xia were also damaged.
There are not many elite soldiers and horses in Western Xia today.
Every loss was a great loss for Western Xia.
In the past.
Song Liao attacked Xia together, and Western Xia paid a great price in order to defend against two strong enemies.
Not only did it lose the richest territory of Western Xia, but it also lost nearly sixty percent of its elite.
After that battle, there were only four elites left in Western Xia.
Iron Harrier, Difficult Army, Capture Army, Strong Crossbow Army.
The Iron Harrier, the Dingyan Army, and the Strong Crossbow Army belong to the permanent soldiers and horses.
The Capture Army is not permanent, and is still only a prototype.
Even so, it is already several times stronger than other soldiers and horses in Western Xia.
The first battle in Hexi.
The Iron Harriers were crippled, and there were no more than a few hundred people left.
The 50,000 captives were slaughtered, and not a single one remained. (According to historical records, there were 100,000 captives, all of whom were well-equipped soldiers, mainly capturing prisoners.) But that was after the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, and there was a time difference of more than ten years from the current book, so the number of 50,000 is taken here. )
Kou Ji left two for Xixia, but the moment Li Yuanhao saw Yeli Wangrong's head, he was furious and slaughtered the two left by Kou Ji.
The four elites of Western Xia lost half of them in Hexi.
It can be said that the losses are huge.
I'm afraid it will take a long, long time for Western Xia to recover.
Kou Ji's ruthlessness exceeded Li Yuanhao's imagination.
Li Yuanhao originally thought that he was the most ruthless person in the world.
But when he learned that Kou Ji ordered people to kill 30,000 Western Xia soldiers without blinking, he realized that Kou Ji was more ruthless than him.
He killed only a few thousand Song troops in Suzhou, and Kou Ji slaughtered 30,000 of his Western Xia.
He regrets it now.
I regret that I was ruthless in Suzhou.
If he hadn't been ruthless, maybe the 30,000 Western Xia soldiers would not have died.
Just when Li Yuanhao fell into remorse and couldn't extricate himself.
A tall middle-aged man led a few people into the Chinese army's tent.
Li Yuanhao felt the movement, and roared almost without hesitation: "Who?!" Who dares to disobey my military order and break into the big tent of the Chinese army without authorization, are you tired of it? ”
"Boom......"
The Western Xia generals in the big tent of the Chinese army almost did not hesitate to draw the sabers at their waists.
But when he saw the face of the visitor, he decisively put away his saber and knelt on the ground.
Li Yuanhao stared at the dim light for a long time before he could see the face of the person who came.
"Father...... Father?! ”
Li Yuanhao exclaimed.
Li Deming already had a gloomy face and walked in front of Li Yuanhao.
As soon as Li Yuanhao got up, Li Deming shook his hand and gave Li Yuanhao a heavy slap.
Li Yuanhao, who was beaten, sat down on the seat.
Li Yuanhao stared at Li Deming in astonishment.
Li Deming was not angry and arrogant, and snorted coldly: "Look at what you look like now, it's just that you have suffered a defeat, and you have become so depressed." ”
Li Yuanhao hurriedly got up from his seat and exclaimed, "Why did my father come back here?" ”
Li Deming snorted and said, "If I don't come here, I won't see my son, who is so unproductive." ”
"Father, the Iron Harrier is gone, and the Captivator is gone. The hateful Song people slaughtered the captured army. ”
Li Yuanhao leaned closer to Li Deming and said in a trembling voice.
Li Deming glared, "So what?" ”
Li Yuanhao looked at Li Deming in amazement.
Li Deming glanced at Li Yuanhao and said coldly: "In a war, it is normal to win and lose." You can't just allow yourself to win and not allow others to win. There are not many victorious generals in the world, and there are no undefeated dynasties in the world.
So it's not terrible to lose, and it's not terrible to pay a great price.
The terrible thing is that the fighting spirit is lost.
If you don't have the fighting spirit, how can you win it back?
What if the Iron Harrier is gone?
What if the Capture Army is gone?
When your grandfather started the army, there were only a few thousand people under his tent.
If he was like you, he had no fighting spirit, and he would have been eaten alive by Song Sheng.
With tenacious fighting spirit, he led thousands of people to rush and kill in the northwest, after several defeats, indomitable, and finally won successive battles, swept away all the enemies in the northwest, and laid the foundation behind me in Western Xia.
Therefore, it is not terrible to suffer defeat.
As long as we have the fighting spirit, one day, we will get back on our feet again.
Wave your troops south and take back all the humiliation we have suffered today. ”
Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth, blushed, and said in a deep voice: "The child understands......"
Li Deming stared at Li Yuanhao and continued: "Until you recover your fighting spirit, I won't let you lead the troops again." ”
Li Yuanhao nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Li Deming's face softened a little, and said, "In the future, you will learn from Mr. Xia." Learn how to become a Song person, how to intrigue with the Song people, and how to defeat the Song people. ”
"Mr. Xia?"
Li Yuanhao looked at Li Deming with some puzzlement.
Li Deming's eyes fell on a figure not far behind him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, Xiao'er will be handed over to you in the future." ”
The person who was called Mr. Xia slowly walked to Li Yuanhao, and arched his hand to Li Deming without humility or arrogance, "It is incumbent on you to ...... contemptible"
Li Yuanhao's eyes widened in astonishment, "Xia Zhu?!" ”
The person who was called Mr. Xia by Li Deming was Xia Zhu, who defected from the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Yuanhao is very familiar with Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu used to serve as a defense envoy in the northwest and had a lot of dealings with Western Xia.
The Western Xia documents about Xia Zhu were full of baskets.
Xia Zhu said lightly to Li Yuanhao: "The contemptible person is now called Xia Yuan, you can call me sir." ”
Li Yuanhao said angrily: "You are a Song person, what qualifications do you have to be my husband?" The thing I hate the most in my life is the Song people. ”
Li Deming was furious when he heard this, stared at Li Yuanhao and roared: "Don't be rude to Mr. Xia!" ”
Xia Zhu waved his hand and said lightly: "Lord Li doesn't have to be like this, how about I say a few words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
Li Deming glared at Li Yuanhao fiercely and did not speak again.
Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu stared at Li Yuanhao and said lightly: "Do you know why you lost?" ”
