Xiao Pidi saw that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu did not agree to divide the troops, and roughly guessed that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu had concerns in his heart.

"If the king of Khan is afraid that he will be annihilated one by one if he divides his troops out, the foreign ministers can lead his soldiers and horses to attack Yangguan."

Xiao Pi proposed.

The current battle situation, if you don't divide the troops, it will be difficult to break the situation, and the final result is that you will be consumed to death in front of the Yumen Pass.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu insisted on leading the Black Khan soldiers to stay at Yumen Pass, and refused to divide his troops out, so Xiao Pi could only lead the soldiers and horses of the Liao State to attack Yangguan by himself.

The Black Khan dynasty and the Liao state are now allies.

The Black Khan soldiers can't open the situation, and he helps the Black Khan soldiers open the situation, which can have the same effect.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard Xiao Bidi's proposal and thought about it for a moment.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu also knew that it was wrong to station the army at Yumen Pass, but he was used to taking heavy troops, oppressing people with great momentum, and dividing his troops to win by outwitting, he was a little uncontrollable.

More importantly, he was worried that the Song people would take the opportunity to break through one by one, causing him to lose a large number of troops.

Now that Xiao Pidi wants to lead his troops to attack Yangguan by himself, without using the Black Sweat soldiers, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu feels that he can give it a try.

Anyway, no matter whether it is success or failure, the soldiers and horses lost are not his people, and he will not feel distressed.

If Xiao Pidi can lead the Liao soldiers to break through Yangguan, then he can divide his troops and further expand the results of the battle.

I had a plan in my heart.

Black Khan Wang Yusufu had a gloomy face and said in a low voice: "Since you insist on dividing your troops, Ben Khan can't stop it." If you want to lead your troops to attack Yangguan, then go. If you take Yangguan, Ben Khan can listen to you in the future wars.

If you can't take the Yang Pass, you will have to listen to Ben Khan in the future war. ”

Xiao Pidi was slightly surprised when he saw that the Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu agreed.

After thinking about it carefully, I roughly understood the thoughts of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

Before, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu listened to his suggestion and divided his troops to go out 50,000 to attack Yangguan.

The black sweat king Yu Sufu must have been distressed by the beating, so he became cautious.

Through this time, Xiao Pidi roughly understood what kind of person the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was.

In the heart of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, his own things are lost by himself, and he will not feel distressed.

If he is out of sight and disappears quietly, he will feel distressed and become very cautious.

It's like a gambler, gambling with hundreds of thousands, and he won't feel distressed if he outputs hundreds of thousands of dollars on the gambling table, but he will be very distressed and cautious if he gives some out for others to gamble and gamble with nothing left.

As for others taking other people's money to gamble, if the bet wins, everyone will take advantage together, and if the bet is lost, he will not lose anything, so he doesn't care.

It may not be appropriate to compare the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to a gambler.

But the mind is about the same.

After Xiao Pidi understood the thoughts of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, he didn't say anything more.

Because he can understand the mind of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu a little bit.

If it is a black sweat man, come and teach him how to fight, and then persuade him to divide his troops, after the division of troops out, there is no splash at all, and the whole army will be wiped out, and he will not listen to the other party again.

They even cut off each other, hung their heads on the flagpole, and washed themselves away by putting all the blame for the defeat on his head.

But he understands and understands, but he will not follow the path of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to the end.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu agreed to divide the troops, he discussed the details with the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, and took more than 80,000 Liao soldiers to Yangguan.

The scene of more than 80,000 Liao riding away is still very spectacular.

The lookout hand on the jade door could see clearly.

After the lookout saw Liao riding in the direction of Yangguan, he immediately reported the matter to Chong Shiheng.

Yumen Pass the city.

Inside the city gate building.

A lieutenant bowed down and told Chong Shiheng about the Liao soldiers going to Yangguan.

Chong Shiheng put down a miscellaneous book in his hand and said with a smile: "You mean that the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State Alliance Army under the city have divided their troops?" ”

"Yes, Seed Shuai."

"Only Liao soldiers went to Yangguan?"

"Yes......"

Chong Shiheng shook his head and smiled, picked up the miscellaneous book again, and said with a smile while flipping through it: "Black Khan King Yu Sufu is really a little family. Why not give Xiao 100,000 Black Khan soldiers?

It's a waste to stay in his hands anyway......"

Speaking of this, Chong Shiheng didn't raise his head, and pointed casually, "Go, send someone to Yangguan quickly, tell Di Qing about this, and let Di Qing prepare a banquet to entertain the guests." ”

The lieutenant agreed, and prepared to go down to give the order.

I just walked a few steps.

Chong Shiheng suddenly put down the miscellaneous books and said, "Come back......"

The lieutenant hurriedly turned around, bowed and stood, waiting for the order of Shiheng.

Chong Shiheng said lightly: "There is no need to pass on the latter sentence." ”

The captain raised his head and looked at Chong Shiheng with some confusion.

Chong Shiheng pouted and said, "Now that Kou Shumi is in charge of Yangguan, do I have the qualifications to teach him to do things?" ”

The lieutenant suddenly realized.

Chong Shiheng waved his hand.

The lieutenant withdrew from the city gate building and sent someone to deliver the order.

After the herald rode out of Yangguan, within half a day, the people arrived at Yangguan.

The news that the Liao soldiers were about to arrive in Yangguan was also sent to Kou Ji.

After reading the news, Kou Ji said to Di Qing, who was standing aside: "Sure enough, as you and I expected, the troops on the side of Yumen Pass have been divided, and all the people who came to Yangguan are Liao soldiers.

The leader of the troops should be Xiao Bidi. ”

Di Qing asked, "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and ordered: "Send 10,000 Black Khan soldiers up, let them stand in front, and let our men supervise the battle in the back." ”

Di Qing hesitated: "The Black Khan soldiers don't need to be beaten......"

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It's because they didn't fight that they were sent up." If our men defend the city, the Liao soldiers may not even be able to cross the trench in front of the city. ”

The Yongxing army was equipped with artillery and muskets.

If the artillery and muskets are on the top of the city, plus the hundreds of tigers running together, fire crossbows, meteor arrows, bed crossbows, heavy crossbows and other bows and crossbows to cooperate in battle, the Liao soldiers will be pressed and dare not take the lead.

"Xiao is comparable to the Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu who can fight, if he can't take advantage of Yangguan, he will definitely not die in Yangguan, and Bacheng will continue to go around. Let him wander somewhere else, it is better to put him under our noses and stare at him. ”

"As a result, we can become very passive."

"Be passive, be passive. We retreated to defend the customs, the purpose is to fish out the Qingtang, and if the big fish in the Qingtang does not shoot, we will not shoot. ”

“……”

Di Qing understood what Kou Ji meant, and immediately went down to arrange the troops.

Kou Ji didn't go out with him, but ordered the kitchen to make some delicious food and take it to see Li Di.

He will arrange specific big strategies, but he will never interfere in war.

Di Qing had already made arrangements at the head of the city, just waiting for the enemy army to arrive.

Now Kou Ji wants to let the Black Khan soldiers go up first, and Di Qing's arrangement needs to be slightly adjusted.

After Di Qing made a slight adjustment, 10,000 Black Khan soldiers were escorted to the city.

After the Black Khan soldiers came to the city, Di Qing divided them into hundreds of shares.

Insert them separately on each dock.

In order to prevent them from being lazy, to prevent them from rebelling, standing behind them were the soldiers of the Praetorian Army, who were far more numerous than twice as many as them.

The soldiers of the forbidden army were all foot soldiers, wearing iron armor, holding steel swords and carrying muskets.

After Di Qing arranged the Black Khan soldiers, he was not in a hurry to give them swords, guns and arrows.

Instead, he first ordered some mutton soup to be cooked, and each of them gave them a bowl.

After they drank the mutton soup, Di Qing asked them to translate and tell them that if they won the battle, they would have meat to eat, and if they lost the battle, or escaped from the battle, they would die.

The translator translated all of Di Qing's words to the Black Khan soldiers.

The Black Khan soldiers heard Di Qing's words and were in a commotion.

It's just that Di Qing didn't give them a chance to speak.

Di Qing waved his hand after the translator finished speaking.

The 20,000 soldiers of the forbidden army all drew their steel knives and aimed them at their backs.

The Black Khan succumbed to the threat of flesh and steel knives.

They stood at the battlements one after another, and put on a posture to meet the enemy.

Di Qing immediately ordered people to distribute knives and guns, bed crossbows, heavy crossbows, and hundreds of tigers running together.

And he commanded them to teach them how to wield the bed crossbow, the heavy crossbow, and the tigers running together.

The reason why Di Qing didn't equip them with bows and crossbows was because he was afraid that they would fight back.

Once the bed crossbow, heavy crossbow, and hundred tigers are set up on the head of the city, they are aimed at the outside of the city, and it takes some time to turn around and aim at the inside of the city.

Once they made the move of using bed crossbows and heavy crossbows to fight back, the soldiers of the forbidden army behind them would not hesitate to cut them down.

As for those Black Khan prisoners, it was impossible to turn around and hurt people with knives.

They were holding ordinary swords and guns used by local soldiers and horses, and they couldn't cut through the armor of the forbidden soldiers at all.

Di Qing didn't know about the Black Khan Dynasty, let alone the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, so he was very cautious.

In fact, the people of the real Black Khan Dynasty would never be so strict about guarding their captives.

Because in the eyes of the Black Khan, if you are captured, you are the slave of the other party, and the other party will do whatever she tells them to do, and basically will not resist.

They have lived under a harsh hierarchy for hundreds of years, and servility has gone deep into the marrow.

I can't change it for a while.

After Di Qing assigned weapons to the Black Khan, he guarded them tightly.

Even though they were already very obedient, Di Qing was still not careless.

The Black Khan people could only face the outside of the city one by one, standing like javelins, and they shivered in the cold wind, and they didn't dare to move.

Seeing this, Di Qing ordered someone to get a batch of rotten leather jackets replaced by local soldiers and threw them to them.

After the black sweat man got the rotten leather jacket, he cried excitedly.

Because they felt that they had met a benevolent slave owner.

Di Qing didn't understand the mood of others, and the Black Khan people were afraid of the soldiers of the forbidden army behind them, so they didn't dare to speak.

Di Qing saw people in tears, and thought that they were homesick.

If Di Qing knew what they thought, he would definitely tell them that the reason why he gave the Black Khan people leather jackets was to make them better serve the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Black Khan people knew that Di Qing gave them leather jackets to make them work better, then they would still have tears in their eyes.

Because in the hearts of the Black Khan people, it is right to work for the slave masters.

It was a great gift for slave owners to give them things.

They should have knelt down and kissed Di Qing's boots.

With excitement, the Black Khan people occupied the head of Yangguan City for two full hours.

Xiao Pidi rushed to the outside of Yangguan Pass with the Liao soldiers.

After arriving outside the Yangguan Pass, Xiao Pidi was not in a hurry to knock on the pass, because he did not have enough knocking weapons in his hands.

Xiao Pidi sent people to set up a large camp outside the pass.

Then they sent men to cut down trees and make siege equipment.

The trees outside Yangguan were cut down cleanly.

Therefore, if Xiao Pi wants to make siege equipment, he needs to send people to a far place to cut down trees.

Di Qing saw that the Liao soldiers led by Xiao Pidi were not like the group of Tie Hanhan before, rushing down to Yangguan in a swarm, so he guessed that the Liao soldiers would not attack the city today.

But he did not relax his vigilance because of this, and still sat on the city gate tower, staring closely at the Liao army outside the city.

In a flash, it was the middle of the night.

Di Qing ordered people to leave the city with those black sweat people first, so that the Yongxing army could take over the defense again, and then he ran to the city to find Kou Ji.

When Di Qing found Kou Ji, Kou Ji and Li Di were lighting the stove and burning the casserole to eat the meat.

"Let's eat ......"

Kou Ji saw Di Qing and invited Di Qing to sit down and eat together.

Di Qing was not polite, sat aside, took a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and began to shake the meat.

Ate a few slices of tender meat.

Di Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Xiao Pidi is not in a hurry to attack the city......

Kou Ji said while eating shabu shabu: "He is not the previous batch of fools who don't know how to fight, so naturally it is impossible to attack the city in a hurry." You ordered the trees outside the pass to be cut clean.

If he wanted to build siege equipment, he had to go to the snow-capped mountains (Qilian Mountain) far away to cut wood.

By the time he has cut down enough timber and prepared his siege equipment, he will probably be to-morrow evening.

So tomorrow, he probably won't attack the city either. ”

Li Di slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and muttered: "Xiao is not a simple character, in order to avoid his sneak attack at night, you still have to be on guard." ”

Di Qing said solemnly: "I have divided the Yongxing army into two groups, and they will guard the city day and night, and they will definitely not let Xiao Bi have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Kou Ji put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with some displeasure: "I said that you can talk when you talk, what are you going to do when you put down the dishes and chopsticks?" Are you showing me your manners? ”

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother's words are serious......

Li Di stroked his beard and said without being salty: "The old man is a person who knows etiquette, how can he be like you......"

Kou Ji picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and said disdainfully: "Fake serious...... There's a kind of ...... you don't eat."

Li Di said decisively: "That's not going to work......"

After speaking, Li Di picked up the dishes and chopsticks again and ate shabu with Kou Ji.

Di Qing also picked up the dishes and chopsticks again and joined the competition for shabu-shabu.

This time, the three of them were talking while eating shabu-shabu.

Di Qing and Li Di put down the dishes and chopsticks to talk just now, purely out of habit.

In Di Qing's eyes, Kou Ji is the elder brother, and when he talks to his brother, he naturally has to be polite.

Although Li Di is Kou Ji's elder, his current official status is one line lower than Kou Ji, and he subconsciously guards etiquette.

In Li Di's heart, Kou Ji is no longer the junior who can handle it at will.

Kou Ji's authority now is much greater than when he was at his peak.

Li Di has to observe some etiquette more or less.

Although Zhao Zhen also added some identities to Li Di repeatedly during Li Di's reign in Hexi.

But no matter how high his status is, he can't compare to Kou Ji who holds the sword of the Son of Heaven.

However, Koji is a person who likes to be an equal with friends and family.

So when he saw this, he spoke up.

Seeing this, Di Qing and Li Di naturally let go a lot.

While eating shabu shabu, Di Qing said to Kou Ji: "Brother, today I escorted those Black Khan people to the city, and they behaved very strangely. ”

Kou Ji asked, "What's the weird way?" ”

Di Qing said frankly: "According to common sense, we send prisoners to take the lead, and after the prisoners get the sword soldiers, they will more or less resist. But after those Black Khan people got the sword soldiers today, they were surprisingly obedient, and none of them resisted from beginning to end.

Not only that, but when I saw that they were shivering with cold wind blowing on the top of the city, I sent someone to give them some leather jackets that had been replaced by local soldiers, and they actually burst into tears one by one. ”

After hearing Di Qing's words, Kou Ji thought for a moment and smiled, "It seems that those Black Khan soldiers do not have a high status in the Black Khan Dynasty. ”

Li Di asked with some curiosity: "How do you say this?" ”

Di Qing also looked at Kou Ji with a curious expression.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The Black Khan Dynasty is a state with clear hierarchies and strict hierarchies. They have always used the slavery system, and servility has penetrated into the marrow of the lower classes.

In addition, religion, in order to consolidate its supremacy, constantly preaches to tell them that they deserve to suffer.

Plus strict legal constraints.

They have become accustomed to being ruled, enslaved, and oppressed. ”

Li Di said thoughtfully: "It's like a slave in the pre-Qin period? Slaves are equivalent to goods, they can be bought and sold, they can also be given away, and in whose hands they are in their hands, they will die for whom? ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's a little different. The slaves of the pre-Qin period had more or less their own ideas, but they didn't, they only had religion in their minds. ”

Li Di's pupils shrank slightly, stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "The old man kind of understands why you and the official family are ruthless in rectifying those monks. ”

Kou Ji smiled and didn't speak.

In fact, the harm of the monks to the Great Song Dynasty was more in land and money.

It is absolutely impossible for those in power to allow divine power to reign over the monarchy.

Anyone who tries to put theocracy above the monarchy will inevitably be targeted by everyone in the government and the opposition.

Therefore, in the Great Song Dynasty, it was impossible for divine power to come above the monarchy, let alone become a mainstream ideology to harm the people.

What can harm the thoughts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is the rotten words and words of those corrupt Confucians.

Those corrupt people, in order to consolidate their position and money, distorted the words of the saints, instilled their ideas into the people, and harmed the people.

Di Qing didn't know much about this, and he didn't want to understand this, and after listening to Kou Ji's words, he asked, "So after they were captured by us, they regarded themselves as our slaves, and were willing to let us follow?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Almost." But it still has to be guarded against. We can't let our guard down on them just because they think of themselves as our slaves. ”

Di Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Koji continued: "But we can use this to better control them. When they are fighting, you can choose some people who have made meritorious contributions according to their exploits, and appoint them as slave leaders.

The slave leaders will know how to keep them in check.

When the war is over and we send them to work as coolies, the slave leaders will be able to use them. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Di Qing and reminded: "Give those slave leaders some rewards appropriately, they will work harder for you, and they will be extremely loyal to you." ”

"Understand ......"

After discussing the matter, the three of them ate all the shabu-shabu.

Slipping around in the yard, it was already late at night.

Kou Ji said goodbye to Di Qing and Li Di and returned to the room alone.

After returning to the room and washing, Kou Ji sat on the edge of the bed and muttered with a smile: "I thought that after the Black Khan Dynasty broke away from the control of Baghdad, it would more or less change some policies and deepen its rule over the people.

I didn't expect to continue to use Baghdad's set.

In this way, Gargamel took people to the Black Khan Dynasty, like a rat into a rice tank.

The royal power of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu is probably going to be lost. ”

teased the black sweat king Yu Sufu.

Koji lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Following.

Early morning.

A cold wind blew outside Yangguan.

Snowflakes fall down the cold wind.

The snow is not heavy, but the wind is extremely cold.

Di Qing withstood the cold wind and went to Yangguan City.

Then he sent the Black Khan people back to the city and guarded the city.

With last night's conversation with Kou Ji, Di Qing had the idea of communicating with the Black Khan people.

So, Di Qing took the interpreter all day and walked among the black sweat people.

After some understanding.

Di Qing found that the thoughts of the Black Sweat people were similar to what Kou Ji said.

They feel like they have been reduced to slavery.

and thought that the slave owners were doing things in order that they might give them some food.

The Great Song did not have the habit of starving captives.

Because the captives who needed to starve for everything were basically sent to the palace of Hades.

What is left behind, all are useful.

The Black Khan people defended the city against the wind and snow, which was indeed a bit hard.

Therefore, Di Qing generously rewarded those Black Khan people who were more serious about defending the city, and each person had a piece of flesh and bones.

As Kou Ji expected, throughout the day, the Liao soldiers did not knock on the pass, but stepped up outside the pass to make siege equipment.

So, people inside and outside Yangguan.

It was a peaceful day.

Following.

When the sky is numb.

The trumpets of the Liao soldiers sounded.

Kou Ji heard the sound of the horn, and reluctantly got off the ondol, put on his clothes, and went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Di Qing wearing armor and hurriedly running out.

When Kou Ji went out, he only saw Di Qing's back.

Li Di held a hand warmer, appeared beside Kou Ji in a leisurely manner, and whispered, "Liao soldiers have started to knock?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said: "The sound of the horn is connected, it should be more than eight Liao soldiers dispatched together." ”
