Kou Ji's words alerted Kakuro.

It's the strength that counts.

Without strength, thinking about the meat that didn't reach the mouth was delusional.

The Song State was worried about the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Liao State for decades.

Now the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of the Liao.

There is no other reason.

The Song State did not have enough strength to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Liao State.

Of course.

The Liao State also did not have enough strength to take more territory from the Song State.

It's the strength that counts.

Without strength, no matter how much territory you can't hold.

What Qingtang needs most now is strength.

Although he completed the unification of Qingtang and became the co-leader of the Tubo people.

But there are still many big tribes of Tibet who are secretly working against him.

There's even religion involved.

He needs strength to subdue these who are against him.

Only by subduing everyone in Qingtang can he lead the Qingtang people to conquer the city and expand the territory with peace of mind.

Gradually, Kakuro persuaded himself.

But he was still unwilling in his heart.

The meat on the side of the mouth is divided into half of others, who can be willing.

Moreover, he couldn't say how much impact the Song State would have on the Western Regions.

Jiao Guluo stared at Kou Ji and muttered, "Kou Ministry, I need to discuss this matter with my subjects. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded, got up slowly, and arched his hand, "Then I'll go down and rest first...... I still have soldiers and horses trapped in Shazhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't stay in Qingtang City for too long, so I hope that the Marquis of Qingtang can negotiate faster. ”

Kakuro nodded, "This is natural...... Yilan, take the Kou Officials to rest in the post house. Serve the Ministry of Officials well, and don't let the Ministry of Officials feel dissatisfied. ”

Ilan got up and saluted, and after saying yes, he came to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng.

Liu Heng replied with a helpless look.

Yilan boldly took Kou Ji's hand, pulled Kou Ji and ran out.

Koji was still thinking about how to get rid of her, but she had already dragged her out of the palace.

Seeing this, Jiao Guluo and the others smiled.

Ilan pulled Kou Ji out of the palace, Kou Ji broke free of Ilan's hand, and said to Ilan: "Girl, as the saying goes, men and women don't kiss each other......"

Koji came up with a set of words of exhortation in an attempt to convince Ilan.

Yilan blinked, staring at Kou Ji, and waited until Kou Ji finished speaking, then stared at Kou Ji seriously and said, "I...... Isn't it beautiful? ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Beautiful ......"

Yilan took a step closer to Kou Ji and asked, "You, like other Song people, hate us Qingtang people?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "There is no ......"

Yilan took another step closer, almost sticking to Kou Ji's body, and said to Kou Ji seriously: "You don't want to sleep with me?" ”

Kou Ji coughed dryly, widened the distance between him and Yilan, and said equally seriously: "I don't want to ......"

Yilan frowned and snorted angrily, "You lied, when I was in the palace just now, you peeked at me many times. My grandmother told me that the men who peeked at me wanted to sleep with me. ”

Kou Ji Zhengse said: "I'm just appreciating, and I don't mean anything else. ”

"Poof...... Hahahaha......"

Liu Heng, who had been paying attention to Kou Ji and Yilan on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Kou Ji's words.

Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng viciously, arched his hand at Yilan, and "Farewell......

Then he pulled Liu Heng and fled from the palace.

Ilan chased after Kou Ji and shouted, "Why? I don't have the smell of lamb that you Song people don't like. ”

Kou Ji ran out of the palace with Liu Heng as if he hadn't heard her, throwing Yilan far away.

After Liu Heng left the palace, he couldn't straighten up with a smile and asked Kou Ji, "Fourth brother, you don't want such a beauty in front of you?" Why? Is it really as rumored in Bianjing City, you can't do it? ”

Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng and said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart." ”

Liu Hengqiang held back a smile and said with a serious face: "Fourth brother, there are many people in Bianjing City who say that you don't take concubines because you can't do it." If you really can't, just tell me that I know some very good doctors. ”

"Fuck off!"

Kou Ji scolded Liu Heng.

Liu Heng couldn't help but laugh again.

After a long time.

Liu Heng stopped laughing under Kou Ji's threat, and in order to prevent himself from continuing to laugh, Liu Heng decisively changed the topic.

"Fourth brother, you know that Qingtang has been plotting for a long time, why do you want to share the land of Huangtou Huifu with Qingtang? According to the nature of Qingtang people, I am afraid they will not agree to your request.

In the eyes of Qingtang people, what they are worried about will not be shared with others. ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "They had to agree. ”

Liu Heng was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng, "I won't tell you ......"

"Don't, Fourth Brother......"

"Let you laugh at me...... Let you talk nonsense......"

“……”

Kou Ji and Liu Heng were fighting outside the palace.

Inside the palace.

The civil and military ministers of Jiaoluo and Qingtang are also fighting with each other.

After Koji left.

Horn Gola sat on his throne and said nothing.

He Lang Xianye was the first to speak, "Zampu, I Qingtang has been plotting for a long time, and in order to take down the Yellow Head Hui, we have arranged many means. Now as soon as Song Guo opened his mouth, he wanted to take half of it, which was simply wishful thinking. ”

An Ziluo frowned and said, "Zampu, I think what Kou Ji said is reasonable. If you don't eat what we eat, it's not ours. ”

He Lang Xianye's old gaze fell on An Ziluo and snorted coldly.

"An Ziluo, are you planning to give away my Qingtang territory? If my Qingtang generals have this kind of mind like you, then how can I Qingtang gain a foothold in the Western Regions? ”

An Ziluo hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. I just want to say that what I lack most in Qingtang now is not a large area of territory. It's the strength of the strong.

We all saw how powerful and convenient the musket was on display.

If I, Qingtang, can control the musket, I won't have to put up with those who secretly oppose Zampu.

We can get rid of them with the help of muskets.

Let Zampu truly control all the power of Qingtang.

Prime Minister Zhao Pu during the reign of Taizong of the Song Kingdom said that if you go outside, you must first settle inside.

I think it makes a lot of sense. ”

He Lang Xianye glared and said angrily: "An Ziluo, did you take the benefits of the Song people and help the Song people speak everywhere?" ”

An Ziluo hurriedly defended, "I didn't ......"

He Lang Xianye snorted coldly: "No?!" The Song people have not set foot in the Western Regions for a long time, and now they have sent nearly 160,000 soldiers and horses to the Western Regions, and their intentions are very obvious.

That is, to emulate the Han and Tang dynasties, take root in the Western Regions, and conquer many forces in the Western Regions.

Incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Song Kingdom.

Now the Song State's plot in the Western Regions was blocked by the Western Xia.

The Song people were unable to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

According to my understanding of the Song people, the Song people will inevitably give up the Western Regions after being frustrated in the Western Regions.

But if we help the Song people attack the Huangtou Hui Hui, let the Song people occupy half of the Huangtou Hui territory.

Let the Song people gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

Then they will continue to plot against the Western Regions.

We can easily take down the yellow head and return to the Hui with the help of the Song people.

But after taking the yellow head and returning to Hui, he has to face the Song people.

For the Liao people, the Song people were yellow sheep with horns.

For me Qingtang, the Song people are jackals in sheep's clothing.

Huang Tou Hui is in the Western Regions, and he doesn't pose much threat to my Qingtang.

But once the Song people enter the Western Regions, they will become the biggest threat to my Qingtang.

The Song people have the heart of a jackal, but you help the Song people speak everywhere, and dare to say that you have no benefits for the Song people. ”

An Ziluo gritted his teeth and said: "The Song people are no longer what they used to be, you have never seen the power of the Song people, but I have seen it." The former king's former guard, Geltai, led two hundred elite warriors under his tent to fight against two hundred servants under Kou Ji.

The other side is just a charge.

Geltai and his two hundred elite warriors were killed.

It must be known that Geltai's martial arts are not weak, and the warriors under his account are even more first-class warriors.

Even so, it was still defeated by the Song people.

The Song people had enough strength to oppose me Qingtang, but they did not choose to oppose me Qingtang.

This shows that the Song people intend to befriend me Qingtang and don't want to be the enemy of my Qingtang.

I don't know what the Song people are trying to do if they want to enter the Western Regions.

But I know that the only way for us to become stronger is to use the power of the Song people.

I didn't help the Song people speak, I just thought about it for me to become stronger in Qingtang. ”

He Lang Xianye snorted: "Short-sighted! Just for the sake of temporary strength, let a great enemy enter the Western Regions. His great enemy has gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions, and that is when my Qingtang is destroyed.

The Song people, who are good at using stratagems, are just tempting us with benefits.

If we take the bait, we will definitely become meat on the chopping board of the Song people. ”

An Ziluo gritted his teeth and said: "Do you think that with the power of the Song people, without us, we can't take the yellow head and return to Hui?" ”

He Lang Xianye was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "If the Song people can really take down Huangtou Hui, why do they need to use tricks to invite me to send troops to Qingtang?" ”

An Ziluo said seriously: "I think the Song people have enough strength to take down Huangtou Huifu, and they only asked me Qingtang to take action in order to avoid unnecessary damage." ”

He Lang Xianye asked loudly: "An Ziluo, when did you recognize the Song people as the master?!" ”

An Ziluo stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "The master in my heart is only Zampu. ”

He Lang Xianye said coldly: "You help the Song people everywhere to speak, and dare to say that you don't recognize the Song people as the master?" The Song people could propose a means of attacking from the north to the south to deal with the Huangtou Hui.

You can also use the means of flanking things to deal with my Qingtang after conquering Huangtou Huifu.

Moreover, the Song people are blocking the eastern border of my Qingtang.

If I let the Song people occupy a corner of my northern Qingtang again.

Even if my Qingtang has become stronger, what can I do?

Where to go to conquer the city.

Where to open up the territory and restore the glory of Songtsen Gampo in the past.

At that time, the powerful Song people were guarding the eastern border.

The northern border was also blocked by the Song people and the Western Xia people.

To the south is the sacred mountains (Himalayas).

Trapped on three sides, where will my Qingtang expand?

The desert to the west?

What is the use of my Qingtang desert? ”

An Ziluo glared, gritted his teeth and said, "In terms of it, there is more than a desert in the west. Beyond the desert, there is a fertile land that is not lost to the Song Kingdom. ”

He Lang Xianye's eyes widened in horror, "You're going to provoke those crazy people?!" ”

"No, no, no...... We can't mess with those crazy people...... They will bring ruin to my Qingtang......"

He Lang Xianye chattered.

He Lang Xianye is old and has been to that fertile land.

I have seen the strength of the warriors in that fertile land, and the madness of battle.

Those people are fighting in the name of God.

Those people were fanatics of God.

For the sake of God, they will give everything.

In their eyes, life is the most insignificant.

An Ziluo frowned, and was about to speak.

Seeing He Lang Xianye glaring at him with frightened eyes, he said to An Ziluo: "All the people there are like monks and soldiers in the Living Buddha Palace...... At the beginning, Li Lizun was killed by your own hands, and you know better than anyone how crazy and good the monks and soldiers around him are.

At the beginning, there were only more than 100 monks and soldiers around Li Lizun.

And the fanatics of that place are endless.

We can't mess with those crazy people. ”

An Ziluo said in a deep voice: "On the matter, you are frightened by them. As far as I know, the people there have escaped from God's grasp and are now divided into countless nations that are fighting on their own.

It's like the Tibetan of the past.

The Caliph, the incarnation of God, has been reduced to a puppet of others. ”

He Lang Xianye stubbornly shook his head and said, "Even so, there is not something we can defeat. I'm not going to allow you to provoke those madmen. ”

Hearing this, An Ziluo's brows furrowed.

Jiaoluo, who had been listening to the side, frowned.

He Lang Xianye was very afraid of the religiously led state.

However, Jiaoguo Luo and An Ziluo are very disgusted with the country led by religion.

If it weren't for religion, it would have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Qingtang.

If it weren't for religion, it would have helped Jiao Guluo control Qingtang.

Perhaps the Jiaoluo will attack the religion in Qingtang.

After listening to the opinions of He Lang Xianye and An Ziluo, Jiao Guluo said solemnly: "I am ready to agree to the Song people. ”

He Lang Xianye glared in shock, "Zampu, you are digging your own grave. ”

Horn Luo gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have a choice. ”

He Lang Xianye hurriedly said: "How could we not have a choice? We just have to wait and see what happens. ”

Kakuro shook his head and sighed, "Through the words of the two of you, I figured out one thing. ”

An Ziluo and He Lang Xianye stared at Jiaoguoluo, waiting for Jiaoguoluo's next step.

Jiao Guluo gritted his teeth and said: "From the moment we agreed to Song Guo to borrow the way, we have no way out. An Ziluo is right, the Song Kingdom now has powerful weapons, and a large number of soldiers and horses have arrived in the Western Regions, even if they don't rely on us, they have the ability to capture Huangtou Hui.

So, whether we send troops or not, the result will be the same.

The Song Kingdom has a territory in the north of Qingtang.

We don't send troops, and the Song State takes all the yellow heads back to the territory, and we won't get anything.

If we send troops, we can divide it in half.

So we had to send troops. ”

Qingtang Wenwu in the hall was startled when he heard this.

He Lang Xianye hurriedly said: "We can refuse the Song State's reinforcements to cross the border, so as to interrupt the Song State's plot." ”
