An Ziluo heard Liu Heng's words and did not doubt him.

He had once set foot in Khotan, and knew that Liu Heng's words were true.

Yuanshanbu is probably the same as Khotan.

"Aren't you worried about Brother Kou Xian's safety?"

An Ziluo no longer doubted whether the Yuanshan Department was attached to the Song Kingdom, and seeing that Liu Heng did not have any look on his face, he asked suspiciously.

Liu Heng reluctantly squeezed out a sad expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Worry about ......"

Seeing this, An Ziluo nodded slowly.

Just as An Ziluo and Liu Heng were talking, Kou Ji and his party had already arrived at the foot of Danshan City.

Danshan Castle.

Zhang Yuan asked loudly: "But the Song envoy is in person?" ”

Kou Ji sat on horseback, raised his head, and said lightly: "Not bad......"

Zhang Yuan arched his hand, "Didn't ask for advice?" ”

Kou Ji said in a loud voice: "Cao Shangshu, the powerful official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the pacification envoy of the states of the Western Regions, Kou Ji." ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Kou Angel, open the city gate and invite Kou Angel to enter the city!" ”

Under Zhang Yuan's shout, the gate of Danshan City was opened.

Kou Ji and his entourage entered Danshan City.

Behind the city gates.

Two thousand people fell to one knee in unison.

No shouting, no shouting.

It's just that Qi Brush lowered his head.

Kou Jigao sat on horseback and looked at them calmly.

It didn't take long.

Zhang Yuan and Yuyou led 3,000 people outside the collar to drive down from the city.

After descending the city wall, three thousand soldiers, along with the other two thousand soldiers, fell to the ground on one knee in unison.

Zhang Yuan knelt in the front line.

Only Yuyou is alone, standing with his hands in his hands.

Zhang Yuan hung his head and said in a deep voice: "Villain Zhang Yuan, I have seen the little young master." ”

"I've seen the little master......

More than 5,000 people spoke in unison.

The voice is deep and deep.

Kou Ji looked at them one by one, and said lightly, "Get up." ”

More than 5,000 people got up in unison.

After they got up, Kou Ji said, "Have the horse thieves in the city dealt with?" ”

Zhang Yuan arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the little young master, the horse thieves in the city have all been wiped out." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Can the bags be packed?" ”

Zhang Yuandao: "All the food and clothing should be loaded, and you can follow the little master at any time." ”

Kou Ji's eyes swept around the five thousand soldiers, and said, "From now on, you are the Yuanshan soldiers who are close to my Great Song Dynasty. This time, I accompanied me to escort the military rations to Shazhou, also to befriend my Great Song Dynasty.

You can hear me clearly. ”

5,000 soldiers bowed in unison.

Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "The patrol guards who have been fighting in the Western Regions for two years are out. ”

Immediately.

Three thousand people slowly stepped out.

Kou Ji commanded: "From now on, you will be under the command of the patrol guards by my side, and you will go into battle in armor. ”

Kou Ji looked at the remaining guards and continued, "Among the remaining two thousand, one thousand people are running together with a hundred tigers and accompanying the army. The other 1,000 people cleaned up the battlefield of Danshan City, and after burying your capture in the Western Regions for many years, they quickly caught up with the team. ”

"......"

"In order to prevent the people of Qingtang from seeing the flaws, the city will be closed tonight. After we leave, burn down Danshan City. ”

“……”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Kou Ji in disbelief.

"Little Master......"

Kou Ji's words did not match what he originally told Zhang Yuan in the Great Song Dynasty and the Qingtang border.

Kou Ji interrupted Zhang Yuan's words and said, "The situation in Shazhou is very critical, and I urgently need manpower, so I want to take all of you away." After Danshan City burned down, you don't have to worry about having no place to live in the Western Regions.

I have already discussed with Qingtang, after we arrive in Shazhou, we will send Yang Wenguang to lead the soldiers and horses to the south, and together with the soldiers and horses of Qingtang, the north and south will attack, and the yellow head will be divided back to Hui.

As a force attached to the Great Song Dynasty, you contributed to the Great Song Dynasty's rush to the aid of Shazhou and the attack on Huangtou Huifu, and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not treat you badly.

At that time, many of the territories occupied by the Huangtou Hui occupied by my Great Song Dynasty will be handed over to you to govern. ”

When Zhang Yuan heard Kou Ji's words, his heart was shocked.

If it is really according to Kou Ji's words, then their grass-headed force will become a force comparable to the Uighurs in Shazhou after the war.

In the Western Regions, a place full of countries, no one cares if they claim to be a country.

As long as they can hold on to the territory they occupy.

Zhang Yuan respectfully saluted Kou Ji, "......"

Kou Ji sighed in his heart.

He was unwilling to do the thing of splitting the land and sealing the territory.

But he had to do it.

He did this for two purposes.

The first purpose is to fear that after the territory of the Huangtou Hui is laid, the mallets in the court will not include the territory of the Huangtou Hui because the territory of the Huangtou Hui is too far away, and choose to support a small tribe of the Huangtou Hui who is close to the Great Song Dynasty in the Huangtou Hui to govern.

Kou Ji has been fighting with those mallets in the court for so long, and he knows the temperament of those mallets in the court.

In their eyes, there are only the sixteen states of Yanyun, and there is no Western Regions.

In their eyes, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are territories that must be taken back.

And the Western Regions are dispensable in their eyes.

When Cao Wei was in the northwest, he defeated Qingtang several times, and also accepted many small tribes in Qingtang.

When Cao Wei was in the northwest, he had many opportunities to incorporate most of Qingtang's territory into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

But those mallets in the court have never cherished this kind of opportunity.

For example, when Li Lizun, a monk of Zongge, held Jiaoluo hostage in order to order the Tibetan tribes.

Cao Wei overturned the soldiers and horses of the Tubo tribes convened by Li Lizun, the elder monk of the sect, several times.

If you move your feet slightly, you can expand your territory in Qingtang.

However.

Those decision-makers in the court, whenever Cao Wei repelled the Qingtang soldiers and horses, they would promptly order Cao Wei to stop.

In time, Kou Ji felt that they were Qingtang's spies who broke into the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji didn't want to see this kind of scene repeated, so the newly built Yuanshan Department was his backhand.

Those mallets in the court, if they really generously sent the territory of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses out, Kou Ji would definitely let the Yuanshan Department take over.

Giving to others is also giving, and giving to one's own people is also giving.

Why don't you cheap your own people?

The second purpose is to bury a mine, to bury a mine to prevent Qingtang.

If one day, Qingtang and the Great Song Dynasty have a conflict, the Yuanshan Department will explode behind Qingtang at a critical time.

Qingtang will definitely be extremely cool.

After Zhang Yuan's salute, Kou Ji instructed the leader of the patrol guards behind him: "Send two people back, tell An Ziluo and Liu Heng outside the city, and let them lead their troops back to the camp."

The leader of the Yuanshan tribe is honestly attached to my Great Song Dynasty, and I want to accompany the leader of the Yuanshan tribe to have a banquet.

Will be back later. ”

The leader of the horse patrol guard received the order, and immediately sent two horse patrol men out of the city to spread the word.

Kou Ji instructed Zhang Yuan and the others: "Send some people to defend the city, and some people to clean up the battlefield." ”

Zhang Yuan agreed and entrusted the matter to Yuyou.

Zhang Yuan himself took Kou Ji to the City Lord's Mansion.

Kou Ji and Zhang Yuan left shortly after they left.

The leader of the patrol guards shouted at the guards who were scattering: "That stinky boy just shot with an arrow? Tired of it? ”

Moment.

Hundreds of people looked at the young man who had shot the leader of the patrol guards with arrows.

Seeing this, the young man wailed, "Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? ”

The friends around him, hearing his words, scattered in a hurry, leaving him alone standing there trembling.

With a black face, the leader of the patrol horse guard stepped forward, and when he arrived in front of the young man, he roared angrily: "Raise your head......"

The young man looked up in a trembling voice.

The leader of the patrol guard took a look at the light, and almost died of anger.

"I thought it was the little king who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, but I didn't expect it to be you?!"

"Lao Tzu is your own uncle, you actually shoot Lao Tzu with an arrow?!"

“……”

In the anger of the leader of the patrol guard, the young man explained in a trembling voice: "I...... I didn't mean to...... I just want to take a look......"

"Smack!"

The leader of the patrol jumped off his horse and kicked the young man in the ass.

"Lao Tzu let you aim!"

"Smack!"

“……”

"Ah...... I was wrong......"

"Smack!"

"I knew that you kid was so unfilial, Lao Tzu shouldn't have recommended you to patrol the horse guard in the first place...... The fifth wave of horse patrol guards that the little master values the most...... Lao Tzu didn't even recommend his own son, but you elected you, and you actually shot Lao Tzu with an arrow...... Lao Tzu killed you......"

“……”

The young man who was beaten by the leader of the patrol guard screamed wildly, making the other men of the patrol guard laugh.

When the guards watched the farce and laughed.

Zhang Yuan had already led Kou Ji to the City Lord's Mansion in Danshan City.

The city lord's mansion in Danshan City is very small.

It is so small that it is only the size of a courtyard in Bianjing City.

The courtyard was left over from the Tang Dynasty.

After the ruins of the city lords of Danshan City in the past dynasties, it has long been gone.

Only in the general architectural style, some shadows of the Tang Dynasty can be seen.

Zhang Yuan greeted Kou Ji and entered the main hall.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a wolfskin seat.

In front of the seat, a long table covered with swords and guns was placed.

Meat and wine are placed on the table.

On either side of the long table, there are several benches.

Behind the bench, dozens of large wooden boxes were placed, and the openings of the boxes were open one by one, revealing a golden yellow.

Kou Ji glanced at the large wooden box full of gold, silver and jewelry, and said lightly, "Show off your wealth with me?" ”

Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "The villain doesn't dare. ”

"Don't dare?!"

Kou Ji sneered: "Don't dare, you will put them out and let me see them?" ”

Zhang Yuan said respectfully: "The villain just wants to tell the little master that the villain has been working diligently for the little master in the Western Regions all these years and collecting money for the little master." ”

Kou Ji paced to a large wooden box, picked up a gold nugget casually, and said indifferently: "You think I'm very foolish?" ”

Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "Don't dare to ......"

Kou Ji sneered, "The people of the Western Regions like gold, and there are many gold mines in the Western Regions, and there are countless gold buried in the underground of the Western Regions. I have sent you more than 8,000 men.

Let you burn and loot in the Western Regions for several years.

I got such a small amount of money.

Are you embarrassed to show off to me? ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Kou Ji threw down the gold in his hand, picked up a pure gold mask from the box, looked at it carefully, and said, "This thing is generally used for burial, don't tell me that you took this thing from the face of a living person."

You can't go and dig graves.

So there's a good chance it's something that belongs to the horse thieves under your command.

Most of the gold and silver in this must belong to the horse thieves under your command, right? ”

Kou Ji casually threw the pure gold mask into it again, and pouted: "You didn't snatch it yourself, what is there to show off." ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and lowered his head unwillingly.

Kou Ji strode to the wolfskin seat placed in the middle of the main hall and sat down, stared at Zhang Yuandao: "You can show off your wisdom in front of me, show off your strategy, and let me know your value."

But you shouldn't be stupid enough to show off these yellow things in front of me.

In the whole world, when it comes to seeking money, there are few people who can compare to me.

In the whole world, when it comes to money, there is no one more than me.

You just got a few boxes of rotten money in the Western Regions, so you are embarrassed to show me off?

Zhang Cheng is in Bianjing City, lying still, and he can help me earn millions of dollars a year.

Lu Ming stays in Yizizipu, casually, he can help me plan two million yuan a year.

Less than a year after Cao Yu went to Leizhou, he helped me build two islands full of precious spices.

You, Zhang Yuan, have 8,000 heavy soldiers in your hands, and nearly half of them died, so you got such a little money, and you are embarrassed to show it off to me? ”

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and was about to speak, when he heard Kou Ji continue: "By the way, I forgot." You also helped me get tens of thousands of horses. Counting the price of these horses, you Zhang Yuan can be regarded as making a lot of money.

But Zhang Cheng and Lu Ming made money, and no one died.

Cao used to lead his troops out to sea, and less than a hundred bandits died.

You can use Zhang Yuan and Lu Ming to stay in a safe place, and you don't have to worry about death or injury to refute me.

But what about Cao utilization?

Cao Yu stays on the beach, and a trip to the sea is far more dangerous than a trip with your troops.

If you're not careful, there's nowhere to escape.

And the Western Regions where you are have a place for you to escape. ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "It's the villain who is ineffective......

Kou Ji lay back for a while, sat on the wolfskin seat with a big grin, and said with a cold smile: "Poor work?!" Do you just refuse to admit that you are inferior to others? ”

Zhang Yuan clenched his fists slightly and did not speak.

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said faintly, "Zhang Yuan, do you know why I have been guarding against you all the time?" ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I don't know ......"

Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and said coldly: "Because you have never regarded yourself as my person." You have never regarded those who follow you as your right-hand men.

How many they die, you don't care at all.

In your eyes, they are tools.

It's not a subordinate you can rely on, and it's not a friend you can really make friends with. ”

"No......"

Zhang Yuan raised his head, glared, and retorted urgently.

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "No? How many means you Zhang Yuan have, I know better than you. You have the means to attract those horse thieves to be loyal to you, and you have the means to make those horse thieves willingly die for you. You have more means to get those horse thieves to die in our place.

But you didn't.

You're just a person who calls us hard. ”

"I ......"

Zhang Yuan's lips trembled, and he only said one word, but he couldn't say any other words.
