Inside the bamboo precincts.

Corridor.

After Zhao Run rushed into the corridor with a roar, he shouted to Kou Ji: "Sir, Lu Yijian has sent his third son, Lu Gongzhu, to replace Han Yang. ”

Zhao Run finished shouting before noticing a burly man standing next to Kou Ji.

Zhao Run was about to speak, but he heard Kou Ji say lightly: "You go out first......"

Zhao Run glanced at the big man, let out an 'oh', and exited the corridor.

Kou Ji sat on the beauty leaning in the corridor (the railing of the corridor on the edge of the ancient pond), staring at the big man in front of him.

"You mean, Wonshan wants you to stay for an extra month?"

Dahan nodded solemnly and said, "Previously, Yuanshan sent someone to consult with Chen Yao to discuss Qingtang together. Chen Yaozhi reported the matter to the official family, and the official family agreed.

Yuan Shan and Chen Yaozhi began to prepare for the attack on Qingtang.

And nearly sixty percent of the strong soldiers in the Yuanshan Department are all our people.

The brothers have already packed their things and are ready to go to the Han Land to find the young master according to your orders.

Yuanshan stopped his brothers and wanted them to stay in Yuanshan for another month to help him attack Qingtang together. ”

After hearing this, Kou Ji shook his head almost without hesitation and said, "I don't believe that nearly sixty percent of the strong soldiers of the Yuanshan Department are our people. Yuan Shan should know in his heart that sooner or later I will transfer you away, and it is impossible for him not to prepare himself with any capital. ”

When the big man heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "The brothers have been staring at it." Wonsan didn't have the spare energy to prepare other soldiers and horses. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "If Yuanshan wants to hide things from you, you won't be able to find out. He probably didn't prepare any soldiers and horses, and he didn't have much to do with us anymore.

He didn't mention the attack on Qingtang in the early days, and he didn't mention the attack on Qingtang in the evening, but when I sent people to evacuate you, he proposed to attack Qingtang.

He's trying to get you to do more for him. ”

Dahan was stunned for a moment, glared and said, "He dares to calculate you?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not calculated. Although he did not send anyone to clarify this matter to me, he knew that once the matter of his and Chen Yaozhi's joint attack on Qingtang was reported to the imperial court, I would definitely guess his purpose.

After the official family agreed to this, he did not directly let you participate in the war, but asked you to explain the matter to me.

I didn't nod my head, and he didn't drag you to the battlefield.

So he did not transgress. ”

The big man said fiercely: "If he dares to calculate you, the brothers will definitely kill him." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Okay." Stop pretending in front of me. You are not stupid people, even if you can't see Wonshan's full set of plans, you can see at least half of them clearly.

If you are really willing to kill Yuanshan, Yuanshan's head should be placed in front of me at this moment. ”

When the big man heard this, his face changed, and he was about to bow his head.

I heard Koji continue: "I don't blame you...... You have been dependent on Yuanshan for life and death for many years, and you are unwilling to meet Yuanshan Bingrong because of a trivial matter, I can understand.

After all, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to casually kill someone who has been dependent on me for many years. ”

Dahan said with a guilty face: "It's not that the brothers are unwilling to meet Yuanshan, and it's not that the brothers are unwilling to kill Yuanshan.

Brothers are willing to kill anyone for you. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "I know ......"

After all, they are a group of people who have the intention of pushing themselves to the throne of God, and they are naturally willing to help him kill anyone.

But Kou Ji still firmly believes that they still have a friendship with Wonsan.

If Kou Ji asked them to kill Yuanshan, they had to give an order.

It's not that they're disloyal, it's that Wonsan also belongs to Koji's people.

Wonsan has done things for Kou Ji for so many years, and if Kou Ji doesn't have a reasonable reason to kill Wonshan, they will be cold.

Kou Ji knew what kind of person Wonsan was.

But they don't know.

Even if they have been with Wonshan for many years.

They only know that Wonshan has sold his life for Kou Ji, and has lived and died for Kou Ji.

Wonsan has both credit and hard work for Kou Ji.

Dahan spoke again, "Brothers, I just think that you have been planning in the Western Regions for so many years, and your brothers have also been in the Western Regions for so many years, and you are about to level the Western Regions." The brothers couldn't participate, and they weren't happy. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "You dare to say anything." ”

Dahan said solemnly: "Brothers will never deceive you. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Dahan and said, "Okay, no need to say more." If you want to fight, go for it. Anyway, there is no vicious battle in Qingtang now, as long as you are careful, there should be no major problems.

However, although there is no vicious fighting in Qingtang, it is not an open space for you to take.

Be careful when you should be careful.

Don't be stupid and rush forward.

Let the rest of the Motoyama Department take the lead when necessary. ”

"The villain understands."

"In addition, no more than fifty percent of the people who remain in the Wonsan Department can be stayed. If you rush to Handi together, the goal is a bit big. Divide it into two batches, and then divide it into hundreds of shares into Korea, so as not to attract attention. ”

Kou Ji admonished.

Dahan nodded and said, "The villain understands ......"

Not all of the people of the Wonsan Iron Cavalry want to stay and participate in the war.

There were some warlike and crazy among them, and many were unwilling to stay in the Western Regions.

So Kou Ji's advice is not difficult to do.

"Alright, let's go down and deliver the message. By the way, let your family members move to Korea one after another. In Dengzhou and Leizhou, there are ships to send your family to Korea.

Someone in Korea will arrange your family.

After you go to Korea, you don't need to ask me for any more advice.

When the time comes, you can go to ask for advice, and if you don't make a decision, you will go to my grandfather. ”

"......"

Dahan agreed.

Kou Ji waved his hand and didn't say anything more.

Dahan didn't leave, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji looked at the letter and was slightly stunned.

"Who's?"

"General Zhu's ......"

"Zhu Neng?"

Kou Jihu wondered, "Why did Zhu Neng send a message to me through you?" ”

Dahan reminded: "Have you forgotten that there are some people in the Yuanshan Department who are the old troops of General Zhu in the past. General Zhu asked them to pass the letter, and they knew that the villain was coming back to Beijing to find you, so they handed the letter to the villain and asked the villain to deliver it on his behalf. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "Zhu Neng didn't go to the official post station, but turned such a big turn to send me a message, which means that the content of the letter is not suitable for the imperial court to know." ”

Kou Ji took the letter and waved his hand at Dahan.

The big man bowed and exited the corridor.

After the big man left, Kou Ji took out the letter, unfolded it and glanced at it, and after seeing the content, he was slightly stunned, and then read it carefully.

After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh.

"None of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Yuanshan was thinking about the Qingtang people and the Black Khan people, and was ready to use them to expand the territory. Zhu Neng did the same, he only went for a few days, and he hooked up with Gargamel.

Gargamel was willing to give up the four Uighur cities in Xizhou and invited Zhu Neng to send troops to help him on his expedition to the west.

This can be regarded as poking Zhu Neng's sore spot. ”

Kou Ji muttered to this point, paused, and then muttered, "Zhu Neng doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands now...... Gargamel actually invited Zhu Neng...... Nine out of nine took a fancy to Zhu Neng's ability to lead the troops...... Or do you want Zhu Neng to help him train his soldiers......

After all, the Black Khanate is not short of people, and even if it does, it can go out and grab it.

If they want to attack the city and seize the land, what they lack is the talent of a general like Zhu Neng.

Gargamel actually did not hesitate to pay the land of the four cities in order to let Zhu Neng help him, and it seems that he has thoroughly understood the importance of the art of war and strategy.

Zhu Neng said that he had already helped me bring my words to Gargamel, and Gargamel would send someone to me when he returned.

When Gargamel's men arrived, I would be able to clearly determine Gargamel's purpose. ”

Kou Ji slowly put away the letter, squinted his eyes and whispered, "Zhu Neng actually didn't mention anything in the letter about when Gargamel would fulfill my promise.

It seems that Gargamel didn't tell him, but wanted to send someone to talk to me personally.

Eighty percent is haggling again. ”

After muttering to himself, Koji got up and left the corridor.

Three days later.

Menzi reported to Kou Ji that someone had visited.

Kou Ji asked Menzi to invite people into the courtyard.

Koji sat in the courtyard and waited.

It didn't take long for Menzi to enter the courtyard with the elderly Hatuk.

When Hatuk saw Koji, he trembled and knelt down in front of Koji, and said humbly: "Venerable oracle, your servant Hatuk, offer you the most sincere respect......"

Kou Ji stared at Hatuk, who was kneeling at his feet, and said nonchalantly: "After many years of absence, you have aged a lot." It stands to reason that you are Gargamel's most faithful servant. Gargamel now has a kingdom, and he will definitely grant you a high position.

You are also a minister of a country.

There's no reason to bow down to me anymore. ”

Hatuk hung his head and said solemnly: "Hatuk will always be your servant......"

Kou Ji said faintly: "Your Chinese language is good, you should have dealt with my Song people a lot in recent years, or ask me Song people to teach you knowledge."

Even so, you should know the saying, 'Etiquette and people must have something to ask for'.

As the minister of a country, you have shown such humility in front of me, a common man.

There must be something to ask me for. ”

Hatuk hurriedly said: "Don't dare to deceive the oracle, the great Lion King does have a request for you." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "Since Gargamel has inherited the title of Yu Sufu? ”

Hatuk said solemnly: "The title of the Lion King belongs to the Black Khanate, not Yusufu. Yu Sufu almost brought the Black Khanate to ruin, and he did not deserve to be called the Lion King. ”

Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't like to listen to this kind of brainwashing speech.

Kou Ji stared at Hatuk and said, "I can't believe that you actually stated your purpose so directly. ”

Hatuk said frankly: "There is a Song man who told your servant that it is difficult for outsiders to fight the Song people in terms of scheming. So when you know that you can't fight the Song people, it's best to tell the truth. ”

Kou Ji exclaimed: "You can actually meet a clear-eyed person, it's not bad." Tell us about your purpose. ”

Hatuk raised his head, stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "The great Lion King hopes that he can buy the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how big the price is, he is willing to bear it." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "What about letting the Black Khanate be attached to my Great Song?" ”

Hattuk said decisively: "The great Lion King has sent an envoy here, and he will present his credentials soon. Our Black Khanate is willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty as its suzerain. ”

Kou Ji smiled brightly and said, "Baghdad doesn't want it?" ”

Hatuk said solemnly: "If the Great Song Dynasty can support my Black Khanate to recapture Baghdad, even if it is for my Black Khanate to attach all the subjects of Baghdad to the Great Song Dynasty, my Black Khanate is willing." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "The attachment I am talking about is complete attachment. Except for Gargamel's kingship, everything in the Black Khan is in charge of my Great Song. ”

Hatuk hung his head and said nothing.

When Koji saw this, he understood what Hatuk meant.

Hatuk wouldn't say yes, and neither would Gargamel.

They would not give up their dominion over the Black Khanate.

Kou Ji continued: "In that case, then I can't sell my Great Song firearms to you. At present, the firearms of my Great Song Dynasty can only be used by my Great Song people. ”

Hatuk was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Even if you exchange all the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall, can't you?" ”

Koji's face turned cold, "All the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall, but Gargamel promised me a long time ago. I've cashed out the chips that should be cashed.

Was he trying to break the contract? ”

Without waiting for Hatuk to speak, Kou Ji said coldly without hesitation: "So far, I have never seen anyone who dares to break the agreement made by my Kou Ji. ”

Kou Ji slowly stood up, stared at Hatuk and shouted, "Do all the people of the Black Khanate want to die?" Are you ready to die together? ”

Hatuk shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry. The great Lion King didn't mean to break his promise. ”

In the eyes of the Great Song people, Kou Ji is a powerful figure who has done many great things for the Great Song Dynasty.

But in the eyes of everyone outside the Great Song Dynasty, Kou Ji is an overlord, a dictator, and a demon king who kills people without blinking.

Hatuk had no doubt that after he angered Koji, Koji would send troops to destroy the Black Khanate.

So after feeling Kou Ji's anger, he decisively relented.

Koji asked, "Then why did you say that you would exchange the Baghdad Wisdom Pavilion for firearms?" Are you kidding me? ”

Hatuk hurriedly said, "Your servant is talking about another wisdom hall in Baghdad. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "Do you think I don't know Baghdad, don't you know the Wisdom Pavilion?" They actually used such lies to deceive me. ”

Hatuk raised his head and said earnestly, "What your servant said is true. In Baghdad, in addition to the huge Hall of Wisdom, there is also a small Hall of Wisdom, which is hidden in the palace where the caliph lived. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this.

According to the habits of Westerners, it is possible to build a small library in the place where you live.

It's just that the collection of books in the palace where the caliph lived, eighty percent of which are religious texts.

After all, religious texts are what he learns.

It was useless for Koji to ask for those things.

Kou Ji glared at Hatuk and said lightly: "Little Wisdom Pavilion, let's talk about it later." Let Gargamel make good on his promise and send me all the books in the Great Hall of Wisdom that he promised me.

If he can't even fulfill his previous promise, how can I make a new agreement with him? ”

Hatuk hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your servant must bring your words to the great Lion King." ”

After saying this, Hatuk said, "The great Lion King hopes to buy fine armor and blades from the Great Song. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji groaned, "This can be considered. You asked your envoy of the Black Khanate to raise this matter when he entered the capital city to meet with my court officials.

When the time comes, the government will agree.

How to buy and how to deliver, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Industry will discuss with you. ”

Hatuk knelt on the ground without words.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "I will discuss this matter with the official family." ”

Hatuk immediately said, "Thank you. ”

Obviously, Hatuk needed Koji's commitment before he could believe it.

After Kou Ji finished thanking Hatuk, he waved his hand and said, "If there is anything else, you can go down if there is nothing to do." ”

Hatuk hurriedly said: "The great Lion King hopes to send several talents from the Black Khanate to the Great Song Dynasty to learn the art of war. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Didn't someone teach you before?" ”

Hatuk said solemnly: "The great Lion King wants to learn more about the art of war. ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "Whatever I can teach you, I have taught." What cannot be taught belongs to what cannot be passed on lightly. If you want to learn more about the art of war, you have to pay a certain price. ”

Hatuk immediately said: "The great Lion King is willing to pay. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a while, then spoke: "Equal weight of gold ......"

Hatuk was stunned.

Kou Ji continued: "The same weight of gold as Zhu Neng, one for each person. ”

Hatuk recalled Zhu Neng's huge body, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your servant will truthfully report to the great Lion King." If the great Lion King had agreed, he would have sent both men and gold. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "When he delivers the things, I will arrange it." ”

Hatuk hurriedly said, "Thank you. ”

Koji asked, "Nothing else, right?" ”

Hatuk raised his head and said, "The great Lion King has prepared a small gift for you, just outside the courtyard. ”

"Then bring it in. For Gargamel's sake, I can send someone to take you to the city to find a comfortable place to stay. ”

"Thank you for ......"

Hatuk thanked Koji, got up and went outside the door, and had Gargamel bring in all the gifts that Gargamel had prepared for Koji.

Gargamel's gifts for Koji were abundant.

There are not only gold and silver jewelry, agate and jade, but also many boxes of books, and three exotic beauties.

Gargamel probably thinks Coji is very fond of books.

Therefore, after taking the Black Khanate, he ordered people to copy all the books in the Black Khan.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hatuk was specially asked to send it over.

Kou Ji was not polite and accepted it all.

Not only that, but he didn't leave Hatuk to eat.

After he accepted the gift, he ruthlessly sent Hatuk out of the courtyard.

After Kou Ji ordered people to carry down all the gold, silver, jewelry, agate and jade, and books, he ordered people to send the three exotic beauties to Liu Heng's room.

Liu Heng has been greedy for beauty since he went to the Wa Kingdom.

In the Wa country, there is no less little princess who has scourged the Tojo family.

Three exotic beauties, he shouldn't refuse.

After arranging everything, Kou Ji rushed to the study.

"None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, all of them are ambitious, and they must write a letter to Zhu Neng to send it, so that he can correct it when necessary, so as to prevent them from thinking crookedly......

Gargamel's sincere invitation to Zhu Neng to send troops must be an attempt to plot Zhu Neng's talent and art of war, and Zhu Neng has to mention this matter to him, so that he can't teach everything, and he still has to hide when he should hide it......"

While muttering to himself, Kou Ji wrote a long letter and sent someone out of the bamboo courtyard immediately.

He believed that Zhu Neng would definitely know what to do after reading his letter.

After Kou Ji sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhu Neng, he asked Zhao Run to go to the palace to spread the word and let Chen Lin come over.

Kou Ji told Chen Lin about the Black Khanate's purchase of fine armor and blades, and asked Chen Lin to tell Zhao Zhen about it after returning to the palace.

Selling armor and blades is now a business for Da Song.

A sure-fire business.

Under the auspices of Kou Ji, the Great Song Dynasty sold armor and blades everywhere, and made a lot of money.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is peaceful in the four seas, and there is no injustice for the big Song Dynasty to slaughter.

Now there is a big wronged lord sent to the door.

Da Song naturally won't miss it.

Hatuk only stayed in Bianjing for two days, and after spending a lot of money on some books in the market, he left Bianjing with his people.

It didn't take long for Hatuk to be gone.

The envoys of the Black Khanate arrived in Bianjing.

The emissaries of Hattuk and the Black Khanate were born out of the Black Khanate together.

It's just that when they arrived outside Kaifeng Mansion, the envoy of the Black Khanate stayed in the post station outside Kaifeng Mansion.

It wasn't until Hatuk sent them a message that they rushed to Bianjing City to meet Zhao Zhen.

When the envoys of the Black Khanate met with Zhao Zhen, they really offered to buy armaments.

Zhao Zhen had already understood the specific matters, so after the envoy of the Black Khanate raised the matter, he nodded and agreed, and handed over the matter to the people from the Honglu Temple and the military department to deal with.

After the purchase of armaments was on the right track, Koji did not pay attention to the matter anymore.

Kou Ji refocused his attention on the conscription of troops in Jiangnan and Hedong.

After Lu Gong arrived in Jiangning Mansion and replaced Han Yang, the first thing he did was to have Han Yang send him back to Bianjing.

After sending Han Yang away, Lu Gongzhu invited the heads of some well-known wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion to have a meal, and told them that the imperial court had given up recruiting troops in Jiangning Mansion and that they did not have to boycott the market anymore.

The wealthy families of Jiangning Mansion chose to believe the words of the third son.

So they restored the market.

It is worth mentioning that the murder case of Han Yang who couldn't get out of the house was never mentioned again after Lu Gong invited the head of a wealthy family to dinner.

It was as if the murder case was a bargaining chip in the struggle between the two sides.

When the battle is decided, the chips don't matter.

No one mentioned it, and no one pursued it.

It seems that the man who died in the struggle never appeared.
