Xiang Minzhong pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How can the old man listen to your words sourly, is it because he didn't get a piece of the pie, and he felt unwilling." ”

Kou Ji squinted at Xiang Minzhong and pouted, "I'm not as superficial as you say. ”

Xiang Minzhong said: "If you are not superficial, you will not be so greedy for money." ”

Kou Ji was stunned and said, "Why am I greedy for money?" ”

Xiang Minzhong smacked his lips and said, "You didn't exchange those golden cups and jade cups given to you in the palace for money, right?" ”

Kou Ji looked puzzled.

Xiang Minzhong said faintly: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the old man was invited to participate in a selling party. The jade bowl used by the official family is only worth about 100,000 guan, and it was copied to 200,000 guan, which is really amazing. ”

Xiang Minzhong glanced at Kou Ji and said in a low voice: "In this Bianjing City, no one can compare to you in terms of the means of collecting money. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and recalled carefully.

I finally remembered this stubble.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, when Kou Zhong was taking stock of the property in the palace, he asked Kou Ji what to do with the things given by the palace.

Kou Ji said casually and took it to sell.

He also told Kou Zhong that those things were used by the official family and the emperor's relatives, and they were all contaminated with dragon energy.

If it is advertised, all of them can be sold at a high price.

He just said casually, he didn't expect Kou Zhong to be so efficient.

Xiang Minzhong saw that Kou Ji was pondering and didn't speak, and continued: "You still don't admit that you are superficial? ”

Kou Ji spread out his hand and said lightly: "Okay, I admit that I am superficial. ”

Xiang Minzhong saw that Kou Ji was soft, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "What do you think of the war in Western Xia?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said seriously: "If you can take all the places south of the Great Wall, you will be in Wuxi Xia from now on." ”

Xiang Minzhong was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "You mean, they can take the south of the Great Wall?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "If the speed is fast enough, except for Lingzhou, all other places will be attributed to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Xiang Minzhong was surprised: "The rich land of Western Xia is all south of the Great Wall. If it is taken by the imperial court, the Western Xia will definitely perish under the attack of Song Liao, which is no less than the merit of destroying the country. ”

Xiang Minyuan thought that this time he sent troops just to plot one or two states.

It was only after hearing Koji's words that he realized how crucial this battle was.

Immediately.

Xiang Minzhong, the old man, didn't say anything to Kou Jiduo, and turned his head to find Kou Zhun and Liu E.

He went to find Kou Zhun and Liu E to do something.

Koji could probably guess it.

It was nothing more than planning one or two positions for his sons in the army attacking Western Xia, so as to take the opportunity to share a wave of credit.

The reason why Kou Ji knows so clearly is because Xiang Min is not the only one who has done this.

Previously, when they learned that the imperial court had sent troops, they wanted to ask the imperial court for explanations one by one.

Now that I see that there is a share of credit, I want to make up for it one by one and share a little credit.

When the banquet was about to end, there were more than a dozen overseers, more than 30 grain overseers, and hundreds of other miscellaneous officials in the army that was conquering Western Xia.

Koji has no opinion on this.

As long as the war between the Western Xia and the Liao State did not go wrong, as long as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to conquer the Western Xia did not go wrong, it would be easy for the imperial court to invade the territory of the eight or nine states of the Western Xia.

Although the Western Xia were nomadic people, they could make a comeback at any time, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place.

However, as long as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court entered the territory quickly enough, they steadily occupied the territory of Western Xia south of the Great Wall, and by the way, occupied the Great Wall all over the territory of Western Xia.

With the Great Wall as a barrier, the Western Xia, which was beaten into a dead dog by the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, could only look at the ocean and sigh.

If you want to regain the territory of Western Xia from the Great Song Dynasty, you can only bypass the Great Wall and march from the west of the Great Song Dynasty.

But they had to fight with the Ganzhou Uighurs and Qingtang first.

The Great Song Dynasty suffered frequent defeats in offensive wars, but rarely lost in defensive battles.

With the Great Wall as a barrier, it was enough to resist the attack of the remnants of Western Xia.

After the feast was over.

Kou Ji had just left the palace gate, and Xiang Minzhong, an old man, found Kou Ji proudly.

In this expedition against Western Xia, he won the position of three grain governors for his three sons, and he will definitely share a lot of credit in this war.

The addition of an official to the knighthood is just around the corner, so he is very happy.

When he saw Kou Ji, he asked with a big grin: "Kou boy, when will you go to the old man's mansion to propose?" ”

Kou Ji pretended to be at a loss, "What kind of propose, kid doesn't know what you're talking about." ”

When Xiang Minzhong heard this, his face drooped, and he said indignantly: "Your kid stole the purse that the old man's granddaughter embroidered for her future husband, and took it around to swagger, spreading rumors, saying that the old man's granddaughter is in love with you.

Now the reputation of the old man and granddaughter has been ruined by you.

Do you still want to admit it? ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a strange expression: "Are you sure I stole the purse?" ”

The expression on Xiang Minzhong's face froze, and he said nonsense: "The old man doesn't care how this purse got to you, since you wear it, you take the opportunity to show off again." The reputation of the old man's granddaughter, therefore, is also broken, and you have to be responsible.

Otherwise...... Otherwise......"

Xiang Minzhong looked left and right, saw the pillar at the entrance of the hall, and threatened viciously: "Otherwise, the old man will find a pillar in your Kou Mansion and kill him, and see how your Kou Mansion can gain a foothold in Bianjing City." ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he said dryly, "Do you want to be so ruthless?" ”

Xiang Minzhong snorted: "You have ruined the reputation of the old man and granddaughter, and the old man naturally has to ask for justice for her." ”

Kou Ji explained, "This is not what I wanted, it was purely the work of those good deeds. Besides, the boy and his granddaughter are still young, and they are not suitable for romance or marriage. ”

When Xiang Minzhong heard this, he snorted angrily: "What is not suitable?" You're seventeen years old. When the old man was as old as you, the children were all hugged by two.

When your grandfather was your age, the Oiran lady had two rooms. ”

Kou Ji said with a dry smile: "During the great funeral of the first emperor, it is not suitable to fall in love. ”

Leaving these words, Koji left the palace as if he had fled.

Xiang Minzhong looked at Kou Ji's back when he ran away, beat his chest and scolded: "Stinky boy, can you run?" The old man went to Kou Zhun to reason. ”

Xiang Minzhong blocked the entrance of the hall.

When Kou Zhun came out, he greeted him and blocked Kou Zhun.

He didn't treat Kou Zhun as kindly as he did to Kou Ji.

He blocked Kou Zhun and snorted angrily: "Kou Zhun, your grandson has ruined my granddaughter's reputation, you can watch it." ”

Kou Zhun was in a good mood today, and after hearing Xiang Minzhong's words, he didn't get angry.

He thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In a few days, the old man will ask people to send Geng Ti over, you can find someone to unite and combine the eight characters first." ”

Originally, Kou Zhun didn't plan to pay attention to Kou Ji's marriage.

But Kou Ji is now seventeen years old, and he is not married yet, and he doesn't go to the place of Fireworks Willow Lane on weekdays, and he doesn't have a good match, not even a concubine.

The maids in the house who are dressed up in fancy clothes like to go to Kou Ji's door on weekdays, and they don't see Kou Ji ruining it.

Kou Ji is like a novice in the temple, and he is not close to his children at all, which makes Kou Zhun a little worried.

He had also heard some rumors in Bianjing City.

It is rumored that Kou Ji is a good man, so he is not close to women.

Some people even said that Kou Ji kept a beautiful man in captivity outside for his own fun.

Rumors have noses and eyes.

If it weren't for Kou Ji dangling in front of Kou Zhun all day long, Kou Zhun would have believed it.

After all, an ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, it was the time when he was strong, either peeking at other people's pretty widows taking a bath, or drilling into the land of fireworks and willow alleys all day long.

Even those scholars who pretend to be upright gentlemen will take one or two concubines, and occasionally hide in the boudoir to steal fun.

It is precisely because of this that Kou Zhun plans to take action and take care of Kou Ji's marriage.

Xiang Minzhong heard Kou Zhun's words, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"The old man is waiting for you to send someone to send Geng Ti over at the house."

Kou Zhun nodded slowly.

A few days after that.

Kou Zhun carried Kou Ji on his back and sent Geng Ti to Xiangfu.

However, the results are not encouraging.

The eight characters do not match.

Kou Ji and Xiang Yan are incompatible.

This made the two old men who were planning together behind their backs feel a little unhappy.

They looked for seven or eight of them, and they all came to the same conclusion.

Not only did I not hear a good word, but even one was more terrible than the other.

Whatever two people are combined, it will surely bring disaster to the whole door; What two people combined, Kou Xiang and the two mansions will be bad; It is also said that Kou Ji has the appearance of an early death, and he will definitely die early.

And then.

These people were sent to the prison of the Criminal Department by two angry old men.

A hat of bewitching words was firmly buckled on the heads of these people.

Under the strong suppression of the two old men, the people who helped Kou Ji and Xiang Yanhe said good things one by one.

The two old men were satisfied.

When they were about to make their next move, Xiang Minzhong's wife stepped forward and stopped the matter.

Xiang Minzhong's wife believes in Buddhism, and she runs to Daxiangguo Temple on weekdays, so she is especially in awe of these gods and ghosts.

She knew that there was something wrong with Kou Ji and Xiang Yan's eight characters, and the two old men suppressed it strongly, and it was obviously inappropriate to combine the eight characters of the two people.

So the marriage was blocked.

The two old men also argued strongly with Xiang Minzhong's wife about this.

In the end, there was no outcome.

The matter is closed.

Start with the combination of eight characters and end with the combination of eight characters.

Kou Ji didn't know anything.

Little did he know that he almost had an extra marriage.

He stared intently at the imperial court's campaign against Western Xia.

When the second dragon raised its head in February.

Da Song, a strong dragon that was strongly inserted into the battlefield, also raised its head.

The 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang, after taking Longzhou, went straight to Niuxinting and captured the Great Wall on the Jingbian and Hengshan lines.

The 50,000 horses led by Zhe Weizhong, after taking Hongzhou, went out of Hongzhou and approached Jianing, the military stronghold of Western Xia, and fought a big battle with the 30,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses hastily organized by Li Deming in Guwuyan City, and won the battle.

After that, he drove all the way to Jianing.

After the soldiers and horses of Qingjian City led by Chong Shiheng took Weizhou, they crossed the Hanhai Sea, took Bole City and Yaode City in Western Xia, and turned to the west to capture Xiakou, Mingsha, Yingli and other places.

Three-way soldiers and horses, momentum like a rainbow.

A small half of the territory south of the Great Wall of Western Xia fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.

Subsequently, Da Song made profits again and again.

After Li Zhaoliang's soldiers and horses took the Great Wall on the Jingbian and Hengshan lines, they used the Great Wall as a barrier to march to the Shizhou and Yinzhou lines in Western Xia.

At the end of February, Keshi State, and in mid-March, Keyin State.

Zhi Weizhong fought against the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia in Jianing, won the battle, and won the Youzhou and Yanzhou of the Western Xia, and the Great Wall of Youzhou and Yanzhou that he occupied was connected with the Great Wall occupied by Li Zhaoliang, forming a huge barrier.

The soldiers and horses led by Chong Shiheng successively took Xiakou, Mingsha, Yingli and other places.

At the end of April.

The entire territory of Western Xia south of the Great Wall fell almost entirely into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.

The soldiers and horses of Zhe Weizhong and the soldiers and horses of Chong Shiheng will join the banks of the Lingzhou River, preparing to approach Lingzhou in Western Xia.

Then, the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang did not move for a long time after taking Yinzhou.

Li Deming saw that most of the territory of Western Xia south of the Great Wall fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and he sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to cry and express his loyalty, and on the other hand, while resisting the Liao, he asked his son Li Yuanhao to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses south.

In the past, as long as the Great Song Dynasty had the intention of attacking him, he would send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, crying all kinds of complaints, all kinds of expressions of loyalty, and no disadvantage.

The Great Song Dynasty would not only give up attacking Western Xia, but would also give him a lot of good things.

But this time, Da Song seemed to be determined to turn his face with him, and it was useless for him to bother him many times.

On the bank of the Lingzhou River, the 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Yuanhao confronted the soldiers and horses of Zhe Weizhong and Chong Shiheng.

After the soldiers and horses of Zhe Weizhong and Chong Shiheng arrived on the banks of the Lingzhou River, they did not attack rashly.

They were waiting for the 150,000 troops led by Li Zhaoliang to come to the round, and then, together with Li Zhaoliang's soldiers and horses, they forced to Lingzhou and took the entire territory south of the Great Wall of Western Xia.

But they waited on the banks of the Lingzhou River for a full month, and they didn't wait for Li Zhaoliang to appear.

Just when they frequently wrote to the court and asked why Li Zhaoliang had not moved, a shocking news came.

Li Deming and Yelu Longxu, with a total of nearly one million soldiers and horses, fought a decisive battle in Dingzhou.

Li Deming skillfully used tricks to dig the Yellow River embankment, divert the water of the Yellow River, and pour the Liao army, and the Liao army was defeated.

The Liao State, known as the hegemon, was defeated, and Yelu Longxu, who was known as a hundred victories, was defeated and defeated in the hands of Li Deming, the king of Western Xia.

The belief in the invincibility of the Liao State was destroyed, and Li Deming's prestige suddenly rose.

No one wanted to believe it, but it happened.

Seeing that he had urged him many times, and the imperial court did not move, he immediately sent Ge Huaimin, a friend of life and death, to rush to Bianjing City and inquire about the matter in person.

Ge Huaimin is also the son of Jiangmen Hu, and his father is the late Taiwei Ge Ba.

After Ge Huaimin entered Beijing, he found Kou Zhun.

and entered the palace together with Kou Zhun and the others.

Meet Liu E.

On the Shishido.

Liu E sat on the chair with a expressionless face.

Kou Zhun had a gloomy face, stared at Liu E, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, what is going on with Li Huailiang, why did the 150,000 soldiers and horses he led stay in Yinzhou for a long time?"

Now that Western Xia has defeated the Liao State, the momentum is fierce.

Without the assistance of the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang, the territories of the Western Xia that the imperial court had previously recovered would only be occupied by the Western Xia people again.

Maybe the Tanguts will take advantage of this to invade the south. ”

Liu E squinted her eyes and said in a low voice: "The Zhejia army has always been loyal and brave, and Chong Shiheng has always been resourceful, and the two of them are stuck on the bank of the Lingzhou River, and they will never let the Western Xia people invade the south."

The mourners believed that they would be able to hold off the Tanguts. ”
