Most of the people closest to the imperial power have no reverence for the imperial power.

Because they know what the imperial power is fundamental, and they have also seen the flies and dogs hidden behind the imperial power.

When they were officials in the court, they would maintain the deterrent power of imperial power.

for their authority is diverted from the royal power.

But once they break away from the court, the imperial power is in their eyes, and that's it.

For example, Cao uses this kind of person who claims to be the king and hegemon outside the territory, and he will not have the slightest awe of the imperial power, and he will even give birth to the idea of leading the troops back to the Great Song Dynasty and provoking the imperial power.

The people of the Yuanshan Department just exhorted themselves to occupy half of the country.

If Cao used it, he would probably start an incident directly and force Kou Ji into a corner all of a sudden.

Kou Ji felt that after the war was over, he had to find a way to talk to Zhang Yuan and Cao Yong.

He had no idea of rebellion, and he also wanted to advise Cao Yu and Zhang Yuan not to have the idea of rebellion.

"Hoo ......"

Kou Ji made a decision, exhaled, and stopped thinking about it.

Di Qing happened to come to Kou Ji's room with wine and food at this point.

Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled and said, "You are a great general, and it is a little inappropriate to personally bring me food." ”

Di Qing put the wine and food on the table not far from Kou Ji's side, and said with a smile: "You are my brother......"

When Kou Ji heard this, he shook his head with tears and laughter.

Di Qing said a word, and he had nothing to say.

In terms of identity, Di Qing, a great general, personally served tea and water to Kou Ji, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.

In terms of personal affairs, Kou Ji is Di Qing's brother, and Di Qing brings tea and water to his brother, which is very reasonable.

Kou Ji sat down at the table and told Di Qing to sit down together, and the two chatted while eating and drinking.

Kou Ji tasted a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Chong Shiheng's side is in full swing, but there is no movement on Yangguan's side. Did Xiao Pidi not receive the heads we sent over, or did he already receive the heads, felt the pressure, and gave up attacking Yangguan? ”

Di Qing then put down his chopsticks and muttered, "I shouldn't have received it yet...... 60,000 soldiers and horses were easily captured alive by us, and the other party had to make a statement. ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said: "That's right, the loss of 60,000 soldiers and horses is also a break for them, and they will inevitably express their position." ”

Di Qing asked, "In a few days, the kind of Tongzhi should retreat to Yumen Pass." After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pi saw the Xiongguan of Yumen Pass, would they divide their troops into two ways? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Di Qing with a smile, "Are you afraid that they won't divide their troops, and you won't fight here?" ”

Di Qing said frankly: "I led 110,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Yangguan, and I fought a battle, and I haven't fought much. If they don't divide their troops to fight Yangguan, then my trip to Hexi will be in vain. ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Don't worry, after they arrive at Yumen Pass, they will definitely divide their troops." ”

Di Qing looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Why is my brother so sure?" ”

Kou Ji said: "They led a heavy army to Yumen Pass, and they couldn't bite Yumen Pass, so they naturally had to divide their troops to attack Yangguan." If they don't divide their troops when they get to Yumen Pass, then what kind of battle will they fight? ”

Di Qing muttered: "The Black Khan King Yu Sufu seems to prefer to lead heavy troops to attack a ......."

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu doesn't know how to fight with my Great Song Dynasty, but Xiao Pi Rival does. When he arrived at Yumen Pass, if he could not attack it for a long time, Xiao Pidi would inevitably advise the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to divide his troops. ”

Di Qing licked the corners of his mouth, and said with some excitement: "Brother thinks that how many soldiers and horses will be sent by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu?" ”

Kou Ji stared at Di Qing with a smile and said, "What do you think?" ”

Di Qing said with a bright smile: "A little more than eighty thousand." ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "There are more than 80,000 Liao soldiers led by Xiao Pidi. ”

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.

In their eyes, the methods of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to fight are unruly.

It's just one word, reckless.

The means of reckless men to fight, they can easily see through.

Both of them guessed what they would do when the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pi led their troops to the Jade Gate.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Rival arrived at the Yumen Pass, and if they could not attack for a long time, Xiao Rival would inevitably admonish the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to divide his troops.

And the black Khan king Yu Sufu will definitely not agree.

Because the soldiers were divided once before, the 60,000 soldiers and horses that were divided rushed to Yangguan, and they were all wiped out without even a splash.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu will not take any more risks.

After Xiao Pidi was rejected by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, he would inevitably propose to the Black Khan King Yu Sufu that he would lead the Liao soldiers to attack Yangguan.

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu will agree nine out of nine.

Because the Liao soldiers came to attack Yangguan and won, it was a happy event for him, and he would not feel distressed if he lost.

Kou Ji and Di Qing just touched the methods and thoughts of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, so they came to the conclusion that Xiao Pi led more than 80,000 Liao soldiers to attack Yangguan.

After laughing heartily, Kou Ji said to Di Qing: "Then there will be a lot of pressure on the side of Yumen Pass. The troops on Chong Shiheng's side are limited, so I am ready to dispatch the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion to help.

With the lack of local soldiers in Xiping Mansion in your hands, can you stop the more than 80,000 Liao soldiers led by Xiao Pidi? ”

When Di Qing heard this, he stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "50,000 Yongxing troops are enough to resist 100,000 elite soldiers of the Liao State. ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "So I'm relieved." ”

Kou Ji's dispatch of local soldiers from Xiping Mansion to aid Chong Shiheng was also considered.

Qingjian City under the rule of Xiping Mansion is the old nest of Shiheng before.

Chong Shiheng has been in Qingjian City for most of his life, so he knows the people in Qingjian City and the people in Xiping Mansion.

Similarly, the people in Xiping Mansion also know about the Shiheng.

If the two sides know the roots, they will get twice the result with half the effort if they start a war.

Di Qing's side is similar.

The Yongxing Army led by Di Qing used to be in Shaanxi Mansion.

It can be said that most of the soldiers in the Yongxing Army were born in Shaanxi Province.

The local soldiers of Shaanxi Prefecture cooperated with the Yongxing Army to fight, and they also achieved twice the result with half the effort.

After discussing the transfer of troops, Kou Ji wrote an order and handed it to Di Qing.

Di Qing took the order and went to the soldiers and horses camp where the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion were stationed and read out Kou Ji's order.

The local soldiers of Xiping Mansion immediately drove and rushed to Yumen Pass.

Just when the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion left Yangguan.

Li Di sat on the wheel and hurried to Yangguan in a leisurely manner.

Yangguan is a military powerhouse.

Li Di didn't have a warrant or other things, so he couldn't enter Yangguan directly.

Li Di ordered someone to bow to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji straddled the horse and appeared at the gate of Yangguan.

Li Di sat on the wheel and looked at Kou Ji with a smile.

Kou Ji looked at Li Di's pale hair and old face, sighed in his heart, and said, "When I saw you, I suddenly thought of Su Wu. ”

Li Di was slightly stunned for a moment, and grinned: "Su Wu is shepherding sheep in the place of the Huns, and the old man is shepherding sheep in our own place, the difference is big." ”

"After all the years, I thought you old guy was dead."

Koji spoke unceremoniously.

The people who followed Li Di listened to it in a dumbfounded voice.

They thought Li Di would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Li Di smiled, "The old man also wants to die." But I didn't burn a stick of incense on your grave, and the king of Hades wouldn't accept me. ”

As he spoke, Kou Ji had already jumped off the horse and paced in front of Li Di.

When the distance was closer, Kou Ji saw the old age spots on Li Di's face, Xu had been in Hexi for a long time, and there was too much wind and sand, and there were still two blood red balls on Li Di's cheeks.

Kou Ji looked a little worried, and couldn't help but say, "Old guy, go back to Bianjing City and enjoy the blessings." With your credit to the Great Song Dynasty, even if you go to the palace every day to eat at the official's house, no one will say anything. ”

Li Di smiled and shook his head, "If the old man really goes back to Bianjing, then he will not be happy, but sinful." The people of Bianjing City, the people of Hexi are simple.

The old man is better than staying in Hexi, and he is comfortable in Bianjing. ”

Kou Ji sighed, "You're old! ”

Li Di stared at Kou Ji and smiled: "You kid has also matured a lot. ”

Speaking of this, Li Di seemed to remember something, and said: "Speaking of which, you kid is also very powerful." In the previous Great Song Dynasty, there was no place where literati could not go. Ever since your boy became a privy envoy, the place where the forbidden army was located has become a forbidden place for literati.

Even as an old man, without a warrant, he can't enter the Yangguan guarded by the forbidden army. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "After reading a few military books, I feel that I am a person who is a master of the art of war, and I must not appear in the forbidden army. ”

Li Di nodded and said: "That's right, Wenchen has read a few military books before, and he feels that he is both civil and military, and he always points fingers at military affairs." I was bullied by my neighbors.

Now that Wuchen has stood up with your help, he can make his own decisions.

Fight the four Yi surrendered.

Even if millions of soldiers and horses are plotting against me today, they can easily deal with it. ”

After a pause, Li Di sighed and said: "If it was placed in the past, the Black Khan Dynasty and the million-strong army of the Liao State attacked my Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that half of my Great Song Dynasty would be gone."

You're right.

The military affairs should be handed over to the military ministers.

Wenchen should be a good herdsman.

interfere with each other, and the end is not good.

Only by complementing each other can we go further. ”

Speaking of this, Li Di stared at Kou Ji and said, "However, once the martial minister sits big, the disaster will be endless. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Li Di and said faintly: "Once Wenchen sits big, it will be a disaster for a hundred years." ”

When Li Di heard this, he glared angrily, "Nonsense! ”

Kou Ji glanced at Li Di and said, "I'm talking nonsense? During the decades when your Wenchen was in charge, my Great Song Dynasty was pressed and beaten by the neighbors, and I almost moved the capital. The people were poor, forced to fall into the grass, or frequently rebelled.

The only one who has benefited is you Wenchen.

You fattened the Liao Kingdom, fattened the Western Xia, and even Qingtang was gradually fattened by you.

If you Wenchen are allowed to rule for a few more decades, then the Western Xia will have the strength to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, and Qingtang may become the next Western Xia.

Liao, Xia, and Qingtang attacked the Song Dynasty together.

The only thing the Great Song Dynasty could do was to give up half of the north to others, and then a group of people ran to the south to love and pity themselves.

It is simply impossible to reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Because as long as you civil servants are in charge, you will never be able to rise from the dead.

In the end, the land of my Central Plains will only become a paradise for others to trample on. ”

Li Di gasped angrily, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Kou Ji continue: "The country is fought by sword soldiers, and it has to be guarded by sword soldiers. Wenchen sits big and suppresses Wuchen, which is no different from self-abandonment.

What's more, Wenchen is not good at dealing with foreign enemies, but he is good at bullying the people.

If the people rebel, they will definitely be dealt with cleanly by the Wenchen.

Previously, my Great Song Dynasty banned three auxiliaries, all of which were located in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and it was the people who suppressed them.

So even if I founded the country of the Great Song Dynasty to this day, there have been dozens of rebellions.

My Great Song Dynasty is still standing.

The rebellion of the people to overthrow the court has been reduced to a minimum by you.

However, the matter of outsiders setting foot in my Central Plains has been pulled to the highest by you. ”

When Li Di heard this, his face was very ugly, but he didn't speak, because he saw that Kou Ji still had something to say.

Under Li Di's gaze, Kou Ji said with a sigh: "The common people overthrew the imperial court, and it is not terrible to establish a new dynasty. What is terrible is that others led heavy troops and trampled on the land of our Central Plains.

Destroy my ancestral hall and burn my ancestral temple.

Slave the people of our Central Plains as slaves.

Eat as lambs.

Two-legged sheep, Li Gong should know where it comes from.

As ministers, we naturally have to help the royal family defend the country.

As the descendants of Yan and Huang, we should keep the land left by our ancestors.

This meat is left by our ancestors, our ancestral land, so even if it is allowed to rot in the pot, it cannot be eaten by outsiders. ”

Li Di gritted his teeth and said: "I, Wenchen, can reform the bad government!" Revive the country! ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Do you believe this, Duke Li?" Wenchen is in charge, and it is Wenchen who benefits the most. You are the biggest evil, can you take your own life?

You Li Gong is righteous, and you can give up everything for the sake of righteousness.

But how many people can there be in the government and the opposition, with you Li Gong as righteous?

You Li Gong, Zhang Gong, and Wang Gong are barely one.

Anything else?

When you were in Bianjing, you just moved the false positions of those imperial relatives and civil and military officials, and you were criticized and almost killed.

And the official family and I raised our swords and guns, opened a killing spree, and almost killed the emperor's relatives.

Look again, who can hurt my life?

Who would dare to hurt my life?

Therefore, at any time, swords and guns must not be lost, let alone self-defeating martial arts. ”

Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "Wenchen has more brains and means than Wuchen. Therefore, the military ministers should sit a little bigger in order to maintain the balance of civil and military. ”

Li Di glared at Kou Ji viciously and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and your kid's mouth is getting sharper and sharper." The old man can't talk about you, so don't talk about it. Quickly took the old man into the customs, the old man rushed for a few days, and he didn't eat well or sleep well.

You quickly bring up delicious food and drink. ”

Kou Ji laughed, "Li Gong no longer refutes, but agrees with my idea." ”

"Get out!"

Li Di scolded: "The next time you dare to say such a heart-wrenching word, the old man will definitely go to the court and participate in the performance with you." ”

Kou Ji ignored Li Di's abuse, but smiled and welcomed Li Di into Yangguan.

Li Di actually has a lot to say to refute Kou Ji.

But he didn't say it in the end.

Kou Ji's sentence 'As the descendants of Yan and Huang, we should guard the land left by our ancestors', and the words that the meat was rotten in the pot, touched Li Di a lot.

Li Di felt that Kou Ji's words made sense.

The descendants of Yan and Huang, from the moment they were born, shouldered the responsibility of defending the land.

Kou Ji welcomed Li Di into Yangguan, and in the mansion where he lived in Guancheng, he set up a table of wine and food for Li Di, and he and Di Qing sat together.

Li Di unceremoniously threw off his arms and ate and drank.

Not only did he eat it himself, but he also ordered the guards who came with him to eat it with him.

The guards didn't dare to sit at the same table with Kou Ji, so they divided some food and took it out to eat.

Seeing this, Li Di scolded angrily, "Dog meat can't be on the table!" ”

After Li Di had eaten and drunk enough, he put on a posture of wanting to talk about big things.

Kou Ji took a deep look at Li Di's wine and food after eating, and waved his hand to let people remove the leftovers.

Li Di seemed to throw off his arms and eat and drink, but he didn't eat much.

It is less than a quarter of Kou Ji's and less than a tenth of Di Qing.

Kou Ji could easily judge from the amount of food Li Di had eaten that Li Di was really old and couldn't eat.

Kou Ji vaguely remembered that when he first saw Li Di, Li Di was full of energy, and it was no problem to beat him three at a time.

Now, Li Di is afraid that he can't even wrench his wrist.

After Kou Ji withdrew the leftovers, he smiled at Li Di and said, "Li Gong came to Yangguan this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Li Di sighed: "You want to raise tigers for trouble, and Shiheng has no bottom in his heart, so please ask the old man to come and ask." ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Is it because I ordered him to leave some food for the Black Khan soldiers?" ”

Li Di nodded, looked at Kou Ji, and asked suspiciously, "What do you kid think?" ”

Kou Ji asked rhetorically, "Can't Li Gong guess?" ”

Li Di hesitated: "I can guess that you kid wants to raise the Black Khan soldiers, until the Liao soldiers and horses go south, and take advantage of the Qingtang to make a move."

But aren't you afraid to get away with it?

There are quite a few Black Khan soldiers, and even if they want to be raised, they have to be weakened to a certain extent.

Otherwise, once the Qingtang soldiers attacked.

Fight on both sides.

These soldiers and horses in Hexi may not be able to resist. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The forbidden army of Yongzhou is already on the way to Hexi. ”

Li Di was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "Counting the forbidden army in Yongzhou, it is only 150,000 forbidden troops, can it stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Black Khan Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of troops in Qingtang?" ”

Kou Ji continued to laugh and said: "Not only the forbidden army in Yongzhou, but also the local soldiers and horses in Kaifeng Mansion, Sichuan Mansion, Jianing Mansion and other places. Then they will rush to the Hexi battlefield. ”

Li Di muttered: "If the troops are sufficient, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty will be easy to deal with. But Qingtang's soldiers and horses are not so easy to deal with.

The official family and you should have arranged people in Qingtang, so you must know the strength and number of soldiers and horses in Qingtang.

Without a 200,000 forbidden army, it may not be able to withstand Qingtang's soldiers and horses. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said frankly: "This morning, someone from the Yuanshan Department came. Tell me that Qingtang Wang Jiaoluo invited Yuanshan to conspire with my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Di's eyes widened for a moment.

"Horn Guy is crazy? Looking for Yuanshanbu to deal with my Great Song? ”

Kou Ji smiled: "He's not crazy, he just thinks that driven by huge interests, the Yuanshan Department will betray my Great Song Dynasty, join forces with him, and attack my Great Song together." ”

Li Di didn't know what to say for a while.

Others don't know about Motoyamabe, but he does.

He has been in Shazhou for nearly ten years, and he has been dealing with people from Yuanshan for ten years.

He knew that Yuanshanbu was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiaoluo found a loyal dog of the Great Song Dynasty to fight the Great Song Dynasty together, what did you think?

Do you think your personality is charming, or do you think that loyal dogs will not bite back at critical times?

Profit-driven?

Do the people of Motoyamabe care about profits?

Every year, the Yuanshan Department would give a large sum of money to the Great Song Dynasty.

If they really care about interests, why do they give their money to the Great Song Dynasty?

Also, fight the Great Song Dynasty together and seize the territory of the Great Song Dynasty?

Are they crazy and come to provoke the strong enemy of the Great Song Dynasty?

Today, most of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty are in Hexi and Xizhou, and the Uighurs have not left many strong troops.

If Yuanshanbu really wants to grab territory, wouldn't it be fragrant to fight the Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou?

10,000 iron horsemen rushed in while the Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou were empty, and the territory of the Uighurs and Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou was not allowed to be harvested by them?

After occupying the territory of the Uighurs or the Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou, in turn, they could help the Great Song Dynasty to exterminate the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, sell the Great Song Dynasty well, and get more support from the Great Song Dynasty.

In terms of interests, it was far more cost-effective for the Yuanshan to attack the territory of the Western Uighurs or the Black Khan Dynasty than to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Wonsan, the leader of the Wonsan Clan, is not a stupid person, won't he weigh the pros and cons?

Thinking of this, Li Di couldn't help but mutter: "The Yuanshan Department went to attack the territory of the Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou than to attack my Great Song Dynasty.

Unless Wonsan has a problem with his brain, it is impossible for him to agree to Kakugoro. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Then maybe, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it." Now that the wolves are devouring the tigers, if Yuanshanbu takes the opportunity to pounce and take a bite, it may not be impossible.

After all, compared to the Western Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty, our Great Song Dynasty was much richer. ”

Li Di said disdainfully: "One by one, they don't know how to manage their own territory, making the people in their own country poor, but they are worried about the wealth of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

After saying this, Li Di glared at Kou Ji and said, "You just want the Yuanshan Department to attack my Great Song Dynasty so much?" ”

Kou Ji confessed: "Because I have signaled to Yuanshan to let him agree to Jiaoguoluo's request and fight my Great Song together with Qingtang." ”

Li Di was stunned.

After a long time, he stared at Kou Ji and said, "Are you playing in Qingtang?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Li Di hesitated: "What if...... What if Yuanshan pushes the boat down the river, and the fake show is really done? ”

Kou Ji lied: "I told Yuanshan that when this war subsides, I will send troops and horses to conquer the Uighurs of Xizhou and the Black Khan Dynasty together with Yuanshan.

At that time, the territory occupied by the Wonsan Department will be theirs.

With the help of my Great Song Dynasty, their attack on the Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty in Xizhou should be very smooth. ”

"Generous to others? Can Wonsan be trusted? ”

"I, Da Song, have never broken my trust in him. Besides, if he really helps Qingtang sit big, will Qingtang let him go? ”
