|||->-> age scout thinks about his little ninety-nine.

Kou Ji had already instructed the leader of the patrol horse guard and Zhang Yuan to prepare for the return journey.

A group of several people descended the hillside from the other side along the ramp halfway up the mountain.

By the time they came down, it was already dawning.

Returning to the place where the horses were tethered, the group rode horses and quickly returned to the camp where the horse guards and others were stationed, and only returned to the camp after noon.

Since Kou Ji was not in the camp, Liu Heng did not order the soldiers in the army to continue on the road, but continued to stay where they were.

It was fifteen days of haste.

The soldiers could still bear it, but the people were already physically and mentally exhausted.

They seized the few rests they had and nestled in their tents to rest.

After Kou Ji returned to the camp, he entered the tent with his head bored, and Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol guards followed into the tent.

It didn't take long for Liu Heng to hurry to the tent.

As soon as Liu Heng entered the tent, he saw Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol guards staring at Kou Ji with burning eyes.

Liu Henghu asked suspiciously, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol guards didn't speak, just stared at Kou Ji vigorously.

Liu Heng didn't know why, but he also followed the gaze of Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard and looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sat on the seat in the big tent of the Chinese army, rolled his eyes and said, "What are you all looking at me for?" ”

The leader of the patrol guard laughed and rubbed his hands, "Little master, that thing you said ......"

Halfway through the words of the leader of the patrol guards, Zhang Yuan added on the side: "Little master, if the villains don't take a look at that thing, there is no way to lay it out in the valley road."

The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles......"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and snorted, "Go find Kou Cheng, the steward of the Fushang horse team, and tell him that I will let you go and collect the things in the carriage marked with the words one hundred and one to one hundred and nine."

Kou Cheng's son will use that thing, and let him take you to a place ten miles away to try it. ”

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard heard Kou Ji's words and walked out excitedly.

"Wait a minute......

Kou Ji's voice rang out behind the two of them.

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard were stunned.

The leader of the Horse Patrol looked at Kou Ji with glaring eyes, thinking that Kou Ji was going to regret it.

Just listen to Kou Ji continue: "By the way, tell Kou Cheng and let him prepare the things on the carriage marked with the words ninety-one to one hundred. If you want to see it, you can see it, but you have to go further afield. ”

The leader of the patrol guards said nonchalantly: "Let's just try it in the camp, why do we have to run so far?" ”

Kou Ji glared, "Let you go, you will go, where did you get so much nonsense." You don't want to give it yet. ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said to the leader of the patrol guard: "The little young master's move must have a deep meaning, we must follow the orders of the little young master before we see the power of that thing." ”

The leader of the Horse Patrol nodded.

Zhang Yuan dragged the leader of the patrol horse guard and walked out quickly.

Walked to the door of the tent.

Just listen to Koji's voice sound again.

"Come back!"

The two of them paused again, and looked at Kou Ji with a puzzled expression.

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Did you forget something?" ”

Zhang Yuan was the first to react, bowed down and said, "The villain retires......"

The leader of the patrol guards saw Zhang Yuan's actions, and also understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words, and hurriedly gave a salute.

After the salute.

The two of them rushed out of the tent impatiently.

Only Liu Heng and Kou Ji were left in the tent.

From beginning to end, Liu Heng was confused.

He had no idea what Kou Ji, Zhang Yuan, and the leader of the patrol guards were talking about.

"Fourth brother, what are you going to do here?"

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji with a puzzled expression and asked.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "What are you not doing...... is to prepare for a while to return to the Khan Naye. ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened.

"In the name of the Song envoy, you want to send an envoy to return to Huangtou?"

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I'm going to test the strength of the heavy army led by the yellow-headed Hui Khan Naye. ”

Liu Heng's mouth opened wide in astonishment and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?!" ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, he saw Liu Heng said in horror: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops, and all of them are cavalrymen who are proficient in horsemanship. What do we have? A group of miscellaneous soldiers and horses were less than 15,000.

How to compete with others?

A mouthful of spit can drown us. ”

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said solemnly: "You have been involved in the military formation, you should understand that it is not only the number of people who determines the outcome of the war. ”

Liu Heng glared and said, "But the number of people is the key to winning the vast majority of wars. We are less than 15,000 rabble, and we are facing tens of thousands of elite horsemen with yellow heads, and we are simply hitting stones with eggs. ”

Kou Ji looked sideways at Liu Heng and asked, "So...... Are you admonishing me? ”

Liu Heng said seriously: "No...... I'm stopping you from doing stupid things. ”

Kou Ji muttered, "What if I've made up my mind? ”

Liu Heng didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Kou Ji got up and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

Liu Heng didn't look back and said, "Send someone to tell Li Zhaoliang and let him go faster." When he arrives, he might be able to collect your body in time. ”

Kou Ji sighed: "Don't be so pessimistic, we still have a chance to win." ”

Liu Heng left the tent as if he hadn't heard Kou Ji's words.

Koji stood alone in the tent, crying and laughing.

"Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Yellow Head Hui, I am not weak. Otherwise, how dare I break away from the large army and lead a lone army to Shazhou? ”

Koji muttered under his breath.

In order to deal with the situation in the Western Regions, Kou Ji secretly prepared a lot of things.

Liu Heng got out of the tent, and after instructing the spies of the Imperial City Division to go back to deliver a message to Li Zhaoliang, he returned to his camp alone, put on heavy armor, appeared in Kou Ji's tent, and stood next to Kou Ji.

Kou Jihu asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji and did not speak.

Liu Heng was silent for two hours.

No matter how Kou Ji asked, Liu Heng didn't speak.

In the evening.

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol guards rushed to Kou Ji's tent and found Kou Ji with an excited face.

"Little ...... Little Master, those things you prepared are really ......"

"It's amazing......"

The two of them had already tried the big killing weapon that Kou Ji had prepared.

The shock caused by the big killer was obviously not light, so the two of them stammered a little when they spoke.

Liu Heng was very curious about what the two mentioned.

But he didn't ask any questions, just listened quietly on the sidelines, trying to understand the truth of the matter from the words of the conversation between the three people.

Zhang Yuan excitedly leaned in front of Kou Ji, patted his chest and said, "Little young master, if those two things can be opened to the villain, the villain can assure you that within three years, the people of the Western Regions will all surrender to your feet." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "Don't talk about those useless things, let's get through the difficulties in front of you first." You've seen things before, so you should believe what I've said, right? ”

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard nodded vigorously.

Kou Ji continued: "I don't know much about the layout of the battlefield. So the rest of the things need to be arranged by the two of you. The things will be given to you, and the manpower will be deployed by you, so let's act quickly.

We only have time for the night tonight, and after this night, the soldiers and horses of the yellow-headed Hui will cross the valley road and arrive at the place where we are stationed. ”

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard knelt on one knee and solemnly said to Kou Ji: "Little young master, don't worry, the rest of the matter will be handed over to us." ”

Kou Ji got up slowly and said solemnly: "In this battle, Xu Wei is not allowed to lose." Victorious, we trampled on the bones of the enemy, ate meat and drank wine. If you are defeated, you will have to die with me. ”

"......"

"Go for it......"

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol horse guard saluted again, got up and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and said in a deep voice, "You also go to help." ”

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and didn't say a word.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "I understand what you are staying by my side for, you are worried about my safety, so you plan to take me away immediately after the battle in front of you goes wrong." ”

Liu Heng still stared at Kou Ji and didn't speak.

Koji continued: "You can rest assured that I will not set foot in the battlefield and will not put myself in danger. If I can't do anything, I will immediately take people away thousands of miles. ”

Liu Heng still didn't speak.

Kou Ji let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "This battle is very important for us. Although the leader of the patrol guards has experienced a lot of battles, his vision has always been limited.

Zhang Yuan has vision and strategy.

But it was the first time for him to control such a large-scale war, and it was inevitable that he would be negligent.

If you go, you can help them fill in the gaps. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Liu Heng finally responded, he stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Fourth brother, we can all die, but you can't die." We're all dead, just a few more graves.

If you die, I'm afraid my Great Song will be finished.

Muskets, heavy cavalry, these things you have made with your own hands, only you can keep.

Those civil and military people in the court can't hold it.

If you have an accident, muskets and heavy cavalry will probably be sold elsewhere.

When the time comes, what you have created with your own hands will most likely become a weapon for the destruction of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I understand......"

Liu Heng hugged his fist and saluted Kou Ji and said, "Then I'll go to the battlefield." ”

Kou Ji instructed: "Don't go head-to-head with the enemy, our purpose is to defeat the enemy and force the enemy back, not to destroy the enemy." ”

"Understand ......"

Liu Heng agreed and went out of the Chinese army's big tent.

As soon as Kou Ji was about to go out to take a look, he saw a team of people from the Imperial City Division rushing into the tent and blocking Kou Ji in the tent.

Kou Ji stared at the people of the Imperial City Division in a daze, and said in amazement, "What are you doing here?" ”

The leading Imperial City Cadre said in a deep voice: "I am ordered by the official to protect your safety. ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "But you are blocking my way." ”

The Imperial City Commander said: "Shangguan said, let the lowly people look at you and never leave. ”

Kou Ji said with some annoyance, "But you are now blocking my way." ”

The Imperial City Cadre continued: "Shangguan also said that let the lowly people guard you and let you not leave the tent. If he doesn't come back within two days, or if a strong enemy arrives, let the lowly people escort you back to Bianjing. ”

"What is this? House arrest? ”

Kou Ji stared, his expression incredulous.

The people of the Imperial City Division kept their mouths shut and did not speak again.

Kou Ji had the intention to go to the battlefield to wander around after the battlefield was arranged, but now the people of the Imperial City Division blocked him and prevented him from leaving, and he was a little unhappy.

"Liu Heng has no right to imprison me!"

Kou Ji stared at the Imperial City Division's men and shouted loudly.

The Imperial City Commander didn't speak, but silently took out a yellow scroll from his arms and handed it to Kou Ji.

"Holy Decree?!"

The lines on the yellow roll are very familiar to Kou Ji.

In the whole world, only the holy decree of the Great Song Dynasty will use that kind of pattern.

Kou Ji unfolded the holy decree, glanced at it, and stood in place in a bit of a daze.

After a long time, he closed the holy decree, handed it to the Imperial City Division, and said with a bitter face: "Isn't this nonsense from the official family?" ”

Kou Ji was sure that since he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he had never seen such a ridiculous holy decree.

From Zhao Zhen's ascension to the throne to the present, he has never issued such an absurd and domineering holy decree.

There is only one sentence in the decree.

A word that spread out was enough to make all the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty crazy.

'Whoever is in danger, at all costs, to protect the safety of Koji, and those who do not obey this edict will be punished by the nine tribes. ’

Domineering and absurd.

What's even more ridiculous is that it is covered with the imprint of nine seals.

"The Treasure of the Emperor's Mandate", "The Emperor's Divine Treasure", and "The Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty" are three national seals and six private seals.

The edict of succession is only stamped with three national seals.

And this decree is a full nine.

The imprint of the nine seals represents Zhao Zhen's determination.

It represents his determination to do whatever it takes to protect Koji.

It represents the determination that no one can shake his will.

Seeing such a domineering and absurd holy decree, Kou Ji knew that he couldn't get out of this Chinese army tent.

Kou Ji only smiled bitterly and returned to his seat and sat down.

Not long after Kou Ji sat down, several men patrolling the horse guards entered the tent with knives.

After seeing the personnel of the Imperial City Division, he was slightly stunned.

Kou Ji was just about to instruct the men patrolling the horse guards to help him break the siege.

I saw that the man who patrolled the horse guard smiled at the people of the Imperial City Division, "I didn't expect you to arrive first...... Then you will stay in the tents, and we will stay outside the tents......"

Apparently.

The men who patrol the horse guards also came to protect Kou Ji.

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, the men patrolling the horse guard hugged their fists at Kou Ji and had already exited the tent.

Kou Ji's words could only turn into a thick sigh in the end.

I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp.

Kou Ji knew that Zhang Yuan, the leader of the patrol guards, and Liu Heng had already begun to dispatch people to the valley road.

The sound of horses' hooves rang for half an hour.

Half an hour later.

There were less than a thousand people left in the camp, guarding Koji and guarding the empty camp.

Of the 5,200 guards who patrolled the horses, a full 5,000 men were dispatched, leaving two hundred behind.

More than 4,000 horse thieves, all dispatched.

Three thousand Japanese soldiers were dispatched, and two thousand two hundred were dispatched.

More than 10,000 people, all dispatched.

A total of more than 20,000 people, stepping on the moonlight, rushed to the valley road.
