Kou Tianci seems to regard this as a very interesting father-son game, and every time Kou Ji teaches him, he will accompany Kou Ji to play.

Then when he saw Kou Ji's black face and thunder, he would grin and smile brightly.

Kou Ji pretended to be vicious and bit Kou Tianci's face, and then shouted: "This son can't be wanted, give it away." Let's go back and have another one. ”

Seeing this, Xiang Yan laughed in a low voice: "The official family likes our son very much, why don't you give it to the official family?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You just talk about it, are you serious?" If you give it to the official family, you won't have to come back. ”

Xiang Yan said with a smile: "The concubine naturally knows that Xianggong is talking casually. The concubine also knew that the husband was reluctant to give away our son. ”

Kou Ji snorted angrily: "But this little thing, taking advantage of me all day long, and not cleaning him up, it's really hard to understand the anger in my heart." ”

Xiang Yan cried and laughed and said: "Why should the prime minister be angry with his son." He is still ignorant, and he doesn't know what he has done. If Xiang Gong really wants to clean him up and get angry, then he has to wait until he grows up. ”

Kou Ji pretended to be fierce and threatened Kou Tianci: "You kid, take advantage of me now, I have nothing to do with you, when you grow up, you must settle accounts with you."

When the time comes, I will beat you eight times a day, so that you know who is the son and who is the father. ”

Xiang Yan hugged Kou Tianci from Kou Ji's hand, nodded dotingly on the tip of Kou Tianci's nose, and then whispered to Kou Tianci: "Call Daddy......"

"Fall?!"

Kou Tianci shouted in confusion.

Kou Ji instantly smiled.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan glanced at Kou Ji with a smile.

Kou Ji came to Xiang Yan with a smile, sat next to Xiang Yan, and whispered many words of comfort to Xiang Yan.

Kou Ji kept coaxing Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci to sleep, and he also lay down and fell asleep.

Following.

The sky was bright.

Kou Ji woke up, kissed his sleeping son and wife, and after getting dressed, quietly walked out of the room.

All the way to the side hall, I told the maid to prepare water, and after washing up, I went out of the gate of the courtyard.

Outside the gate of the annex, it was already overcrowded.

There were three people at the head.

Two people in their thirties, one wearing a cyan civil official attire and the other wearing black armor.

The remaining one is Lu Ming, who has grown up.

Since Kou Ji withdrew the people from Kou Mansion from Yizizipu, Lu Ming has returned to Kou Mansion to do things.

Lu Ming has been practicing in Vientiane pawn shops and one-word Jiaozi shops for many years, and now he has become a lot more humane.

Deal with some trivial matters, and handle them very well.

Kou Ji intends to train him to take Kou Zhong's place in the mansion.

Kou Zhong is now following Kou Zhun and no longer manages the affairs of the house, and Xiang Yan is in charge of the affairs of the house.

Before Xiang Yan gave birth to a child, the affairs of the house were handled properly, and after having Kou Tianci, most of her thoughts were on Kou Tianci, and some trivial matters naturally could not be dealt with in time.

Therefore, Kou Ji intends to cultivate a person to help Xiang Yan deal with the affairs of the house.

Lu Ming is also worthy of Kou Ji's trust and cultivation, whether it is in the Vientiane pawn shop, or the word Jiaozi shop, or Kou Mansion, he is very proper.

Kou Ji is going to the northwest and needs people, so he plans to bring Lu Ming.

Two people in their thirties saw Kou Ji and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Dr. Xiaguan Taichang, Ming Ho, I've seen Shangguan!"

"The lowly left palace class straight Wang Kai, I have seen Shangguan!"

“……”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned when he heard the names of the two.

Ming Ho is also a famous figure in history, although he is not as famous as Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Fan Zhongyan and others, but his contribution to the Great Song Dynasty cannot be ignored.

This person is a Jinshi of Dazhong Xiangfu for five years, has held many important official positions, and finally was promoted to the governor of political affairs.

He has made great achievements in cultural governance and martial arts.

He has built castles, trained his troops, reorganized his military aircraft, and put down rebellions.

This person can be said to be a rare cadre.

Since this person is not as famous as Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Fan Zhongyan and others, Kou Ji did not deliberately pay attention to him.

Now that he suddenly appeared in front of Kou Ji's eyes, he evoked some memories in Kou Ji's mind and made Kou Ji remember him.

Wang Kai is also a famous figure in history, his name is very small, but his contribution to the Great Song Dynasty is not small.

This person is also a son of a general, and his great-grandfather was Wang Quanbin, the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he was young, he relied on the wealth of his family and did a lot of mixed things.

But after joining the office, he changed his normal state and won many achievements.

According to historical records, during the period when this person served in the Qing border army, Li Yuanhao led tens of thousands of horses to encircle and suppress the Qing border army, and this person led 2,000 men and horses, defeated tens of thousands of horses led by Li Yuanhao, and killed more than 1,000 enemies.

After fighting with the Tangut people for nine years, he did not fall behind, and repeatedly made the Tangut people deflated.

He is a rare general.

According to historical records, this person did not lead a large army or command a large battle, so whether he was handsome or not, Kou Ji did not know.

Speaking of which, this person also has a relationship with Kou Fu.

This person was able to come out of the ranks, thanks to Kou Zhun's recommendation.

Kou Ji was worried that no one would use him, so the court sent the two of them to him, and Kou Ji was overjoyed.

Kou Ji was happy in his heart, but his face did not show it, but he asked with a puzzled expression: "The two hand-picked by the official family, go with the official?" ”

Ming Ho arched his hand and said: "Back to Shangguan, the official family knows that Shangguan is going to the northwest and there is no one to use, so he specially sent the lower official to help." ”

Wang Kai followed and said: "Returning to Shangguan is a lowly position that Gong Kou recommended to the official family. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly when he heard this.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun both knew that he was going to the northwest and no one was available, so they tried their best to send him someone they could still see.

The reason why it is said to be eye-catching, not valued.

That's because, above the court, none of those who can be valued by Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun have become important ministers in the court.

Instead of being like the two of them are now, with low official positions.

Kou Ji knew the talents of these two people, but he didn't show a particularly happy look, he said lightly to the two: "Since you are the official family and the person handpicked by my grandfather, then follow me to the northwest." ”

When the two heard this, they bowed their hands together.

Kou Ji instructed Lu Ming to give an order to the servants who were escorting the baggage to prepare for departure.

As soon as I was about to leave, I saw seven or eight scholars, carrying their bags, coming from the direction of Wenchang Academy.

After they arrived at the gate of the Kou Mansion Courtyard, they took the initiative to introduce themselves without waiting for Kou Ji to ask.

"The students and others are ordered by the mountain chief to follow you to the northwest."

The scholars took the initiative to salute.

Kou Ji nodded slowly, dispatched them to Lu Ming, and asked Lu Ming to arrange some things for them to do.

After everything was ready, Kou Ji led the people out of the Kou Mansion and arrived at the official road on the edge of the Ruisheng Garden.

When Kou Ji and his entourage arrived on the official road, they saw a group of people who were pressed by the black.

There are Qingtang people wearing armor issued by the imperial court, and there are also many Song people.

Under the guidance of Liu Heng, the people of Qingtang live alone next to the avenue.

The Song people gathered together and stood by a carriage.

Without exception, they were all armoured and wielded.

Sitting in the carriage was the old lady of the Yang family, the man in armor outside the carriage, the troops of the Yang Mansion, and the vanguard general of the Sanya appointed by the imperial court.

Kou Ji led the people to the avenue, first arrived in front of the carriage of the old lady of the Yang family, and greeted the old lady of the Yang family.

"How is the old lady?"

The old lady of the Yang family in the carriage opened the carriage curtain and said to Kou Ji: "Everything is fine with the old body, Kou boy doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Kou Ji saw that the old lady of the Yang family had a loud voice and no pain in his body and bones, so he relieved his heart.

An eighty-year-old woman had to travel to the northwest after a tiring journey, which was very dangerous.

If she is in physical condition, then she will have to worry about her life if she bumps all the way on the road.

If the old lady of the Yang family had an accident on the way to the army, then Kou Ji would not have the face to see Yang Wenguang again.

Kou Ji and his entourage waited for a long time on the official road, and Chen Lin took a group of eunuchs to send the sword of the Son of Heaven and the guard of honor to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji got the Sword of Heaven and the Qincha Honor Guard, and then ordered to set off.

When he left Beijing this time, Kou Ji was very low-key, and he didn't let anyone see him off, and naturally there was no scene of seeing him off.

Kou Ji and his party left Bianjing City so quietly.

Go all the way to the north and pass through the village.

It went on for days.

Arrived in Jinju.

I met the 800-mile rush that went to Bianjing City to deliver an urgent report.

Kou Ji used the sword of the Son of Heaven to stop the eight hundred miles of urgency.

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng and others have already handed over the affairs of the northwest to him to deal with, so this urgent report was sent to Bianjing City, but he was still stopped, and the effect was the same.

It was sent to Bianjingcheng, and Bianjing had to send someone to send the news again, which was too troublesome and delayed.

Kou Ji stopped the urgent report, and after reading it, his face was very ugly.

The urgent report said that Zhi Weizhong died in the city of Linzhou.

After his death, the skeleton sat on the wall of Linzhou City for many days, and the soldiers of Linzhou City thought that he was still alive, so they desperately tore apart with the Liao people and blocked the Liao people's two attacks.

But paper can't hold the fire.

The matter of Zhe Weizhong's death was still noticed by the Liao people.

The Liao people found that the troops in Linzhou City had been reduced, but the soldiers and horses in Linzhou City resisted their deployment, but there has been no change.

The Liao people did whatever it took to storm the city of Linzhou.

The strength of Linzhou City was consumed a lot, and under the onslaught of the Liao, it became precarious.

The city guard of Linzhou had to go to ask Zhi Weizhong, and Zhi Weizhong's personal soldiers stopped in front of the city gate building and did not let them in.

In order to keep Linzhou City, the defender of Linzhou City had to lead his troops to break into the city gate building, only to find Zhi Weizhong who died in the city gate building.

Since the defenders of Linzhou City rushed in with soldiers and horses, the news could not be controlled at all.

The news of Zhi Weizhong's death reached the ears of the soldiers in Linzhou City in an instant.

Time.

There was a cry in the city of Linzhou.

When the Liao people heard the cry, they knew that their plan had succeeded, and that Zhi Weizhong was dead.

The Liao people frantically attacked the city of Linzhou.

The Liao people originally thought that the soldiers of Linzhou City would definitely lose their fighting spirit after learning of Zhi Weizhong's death.

Unexpectedly, Zhi Weizhong's determination to defend Linzhou City to the death aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

The soldiers were red-eyed, regardless of their own lives, and started a bloody struggle with the Liao.

They used their lives to keep the Liao people out of Linzhou City.

Seeing this, the Liao people secretly transferred back the 50,000 elite soldiers who attacked Yinzhou and stormed Linzhou City again.

The strength of Linzhou City is limited, and even if the soldiers desperately tear it apart, they can't stop the Liao.

Linzhou was broken.

The defenders of Linzhou City and the Baode Army did not survive a lifetime.

They eventually fought to the point where there was not a single soldier left.

No one retreated, no one fled.

In the city of Linzhou, loyal souls are everywhere, and corpses are everywhere.

But they didn't die in vain, they used their bodies to fight to kill the elite of the 40,000 Liao army.

You must know that during this period, the battle losses reached more than 10,000, and only those large battlefields where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses fought would appear.

The defenders of Linzhou and the Baode army fought to the death of 40,000 elite Liao troops, and it is conceivable how tragic the war they experienced was.

Linzhou was broken, and the door of the Great Song Dynasty was opened.

After the Liao people broke through Linzhou, they swept the cities near Linzhou non-stop, and now they are attacking Baode.

Although the Baode army died on the battlefield of Linzhou, the death of the Baode army aroused the fighting spirit of the Xiang army in the northwest, and the Qingshan army, which was integrated by the Qingbian Army and the Volcano Army, gave up the city they held after the Liao people broke through Linzhou, rushed to Baode to help, and fought with the Liao people in Baode.

The Qingshan Army was not a forbidden army, with extremely poor armament and low combat effectiveness.

But they still kept the Liao people out of Baode.

It's just that the Qingshan army has limited strength, and I'm afraid it won't be able to resist the Liao people for long.

After reading the emergency report, Kou Ji took a deep breath and immediately summoned Wang Kai.

After Wang Kai was summoned to the post house where Kou Ji was, he was very puzzled.

I don't understand why Koji summoned him suddenly.

Kou Ji saw Wang Kai, and did not sell Guanzi, but said straight to the point: "Wang Kai, Linzhou is broken, the soldiers and horses of the Liao people have been killed in Baode, the Baode army has been wiped out in Linzhou, and the Qingshan army has rushed to Baode and is fighting with the Liao people in Baode City."

It's just that the Qingshan army has limited strength, so it is impossible to resist the Liao for a long time.

And it is very likely that the Liao people will divide their troops elsewhere while attacking Baode.

Therefore, I order you to take my arrow order, rush to Jia County, mobilize the Jinning army stationed in Jia County, go north, and join the Qingshan army to resist the Liao people together.

It is necessary to block the Liao people north of the Yellow River. ”

When Wang Kai heard Kou Ji's words, his face was shocked, and he said with a little trembling: "Go up...... Shangguan ...... You...... You let the humble post dispatch Jinning County and lead the Jinning army north to resist the Liao?

Didn't you go to Jinning Army to pass the order? ”

Kou Ji stared at Wang Kai and asked, "Something?" ”

Wang Kai took a deep breath and said quickly: "If you let the lowly post go to the Jinning Army to pass the order, then it is just an order." If you let the lowly position lead the Jinning army to the north, the lowly position has the right to meddle in the military affairs of the Jinning army. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I didn't let you meddle in the military affairs of the Jinning Army, I asked you to directly take over the command of the Jinning Army." ”

When Wang Kai heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement.
