The civil official smiled dryly, "Maybe the mountain is high and the road is far away, and it has been delayed for some days." ”

Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, "You go to the Yalu River to take a look at the Jingguan built by Goryeo with the corpses of Sui and Tang Dynasty soldiers, you don't think that Goryeo Mountain is far away." ”

The smile on the civil official's face froze.

Kou Ji asked coldly, "But the king of Goryeo came to visit in person?" ”

The civil official hurriedly said: "The main envoy is Jiang Handzan, the Pingzhang of Goryeo Tongzhongshu, and the deputy envoy is Cui Donghao, the secretary of the Honglu Temple of Goryeo." ”

Kou Ji's face was even colder, "I didn't even send a royal family, only a Honglu Siqing." Wang Qin, the king of Goryeo, looks down on me. ”

The civil official said with an embarrassed face: "I heard that the king of Goryeo is seriously ill, and many government affairs are handled by the ministers of the court and the central government, and it is inevitable that things will be handled inappropriately. ”

Kou Ji frowned, stared at the civil official, and said, "You are helping the king of Goryeo, what benefits did you take from the other party?" ”

The civil official was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The lower official didn't take any benefits." If you don't like to hear it, you can leave it alone. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, "Then don't say it." ”

The civil servant hurriedly lowered his head.

Kou Ji said coldly, "Bring them to me." ”

The civil official hurriedly agreed and left the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

It didn't take long for the civil official to take a group of people to the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

The leader was an eighty-year-old man, who walked and swayed, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

Beside the old man, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a square face, a goatee, and a slightly thinner look.

Behind them, followed by a large retinue of boxes, carrying many boxes.

Kou Ji glanced at them from afar, and knew their identities.

That old man must be Jiang Handzan, the Pingzhangshi of Goryeo Tongzhongshu, and the middle-aged man must be Cui Donghao, the secretary of Goryeo Honglu Temple.

The reason why Kou Ji could easily judge the identities of the two was because he knew a little about Jiang Handzan.

When this person was middle-aged, he once broke the Liao army in Guzhou, Goryeo, and was hailed as a national hero by the Goryeo people, and he was very mysterious.

The kind that is still blowing thousands of years later.

The Koreans regarded him as a national hero, but Koji had a hard time looking down on him.

Because of such a person, Da Song was able to put together a full battalion.

Among them, there are not many generals like Shiheng and Di Qing.

He was nothing more than defeating a small attack by the Liao State.

The price was that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent people to Goryeo to take revenge more than once, and each time he beheaded more than 10,000 people, one of which also killed Goryeo, until the opening of the capital of Goryeo.

In the historical data, the Goryeo people boasted about this person's achievements, and they had no power to fight back against the Goryeo that the Liao State had killed several times in the future, and did not mention a word.

Kou Ji calmly watched Jiang Handan and lead the Koreans step by step into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

After Jiang Handan entered the main hall, he threw off the people who supported him and walked towards Kou Ji step by step.

The same is true for Choi Dong-ho.

Instead, the Goryeo women they brought with them covered their faces with their sleeves and followed them with small steps.

After Jiang Handan and his entourage entered the main hall, they saluted Kou Ji according to etiquette.

"Goryeo envoy Jiang Handzan, see the Great Song Privy Envoy."

"Goryeo envoy Choi Dong-ho, see the Great Song Privy Envoy."

“……”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "Get up." ”

After Jiang Handan got up, he stared at Kou Ji, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Kou Shumi is not wearing an official uniform, isn't it a bit rude?" ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, stared at Jiang Han and said, "Are you questioning me?" ”

Jiang Hanzan said in a deep voice: "Don't dare! ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "I sent someone to recruit Wang Qin, the king of Goryeo, why didn't he come in person?" ”

Jiang Handan instantly glared, "My king will only see His Majesty the Great Song Emperor, if His Majesty the Great Song Emperor is here, my king will naturally come in person." ”

Kou Jile was happy, "That means I don't have the qualifications to see Wang Qin?" ”

Jiang Handan gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask Kou Shumi to pay attention to his words, my king's name is secret, and you can't call it lightly." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Really? ”

Jiang Hanzan stared at Kou Ji without words.

Seeing this, Kou Ji lost interest in arguing with Jiang Handzan.

It's really not interesting to talk about it.

In the face of the Liao State in the past, the Great Song Dynasty would only pay lip service to it.

Although he takes advantage of his words, he has been obediently giving people New Year's coins in action.

So it really doesn't make sense at all.

Speak directly with action.

In the case of being able to explode the hammer, resolutely do not quarrel.

Kou Ji stared at Jiang Hanzan and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, is the king of Goryeo willing to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Jiang Handan said in a deep voice: "I, Gaoli, would like to serve the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Since Goryeo is willing to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty, let's talk about the New Year's coin." ”

Jiang Handan was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My Goryeo will send tribute to the Great Song Dynasty every year. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I'm talking about New Year's coins, not tribute." In addition to paying tribute, you Goryeo also have to offer New Year's coins to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Jiang Hanzan hesitated for a moment, did not speak, but looked at Cui Donghao, the secretary of the Honglu Temple in Goryeo.

Cui Donghao slowly stepped forward, stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Shumi, my Goryeo is located in a remote area, and the land is far less than one-ten-thousandth of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people are even more so.

Every year he was able to gather enough tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had already searched everything in the country.

If I add more coins, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it out. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he instantly showed a bright smile, "That's why you don't have to talk about it?" I don't like to talk about it if I don't have to talk about it. ”

When Jiang Hanzan and Cui Donghao heard this, their hearts trembled.

The two of them are not the ones who don't listen to what is going on outside the window.

They know Koji's murderous name very well.

It was because he was afraid of Kou Ji's murderous reputation that Wang Qin, the king of Goryeo, immediately sent someone to negotiate after receiving Kou Ji's surrender document.

"It's not that there's nothing to talk about......"

Seeing that Kou Ji was about to speak again, Cui Donghao hurriedly spoke.

When Kou Ji heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he said a little boringly: "That means that you Gaoli are willing to pay the New Year's coin to my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Cui Donghao gritted his teeth and said, "Yes......"

"How much?"

Kou Ji asked.

Cui Donghao slowly stretched out a hand, "Fifty thousand!" ”

Kou Ji's face turned cold in an instant, "Fifty thousand? What about sending Hanako? ”

Cui Donghao was just about to speak.

Kou Ji said coldly: "I can consider five million guan." ”

Kang Hanzan and Choi Dong-ho's eyes widened in horror.

Five million?!

How dare you say it?

Do you know that my Goryeo tax revenue is not 5 million a year?!

You are a great Song Dynasty, and when you paid the New Year's coin to the Liao State, it was only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Jiang Hanzan spoke almost without hesitation, "Kou Shumi, this is difficult for a strong man. You know that I can't afford that much money. You just want to fight with me Goryeo. ”

A smile resurfaced on Kou Ji's face, "So what? I have never liked to talk about peace before the war, and even if I wanted to talk about it, I had to wait until after the war. ”

Jiang Hanzan's eyes widened, staring at Kou Ji and gritting his teeth: "Kou Shumi, I, Gaoli, am not so easy to bully. In the past, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent heavy troops to invade our Goryeo.

I led my troops to defeat in Guizhou, and tens of thousands of them were killed.

If the Great Song Dynasty invades my Goryeo, I will definitely lead the army in person.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Liao soldiers. ”

Kou Ji sneered and said, "Are you talking about the battle when the Liao soldiers killed Kaesong?" ”

Jiang Handan's face changed in an instant, turning into the color of pork liver.

Jiang Hanzan stared at Kou Ji and said angrily: "I, Gaoli, can not only block the Liao people, but also you Central Plains people." At that time, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, led an army to conquer my Goryeo, and was defeated by my Goryeo, and the Sui Dynasty also perished because of the defeat at the hands of my Goryeo.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was known as the first emperor of the ages in your Central Plains, and he also led an army to conquer my Goryeo, and was also defeated by my Goryeo.

His soldiers and horses are still lying in my country.

If I, Gaoli, can defeat the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I can defeat your Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty dares to offend me Goryeo, I Goryeo will fight to the end. ”

Kou Ji stared at Jiang Handan coldly, and said, "Why don't you say that there is a rumor in your Goryeo that when Tang Taizong Li Shimin attacked you Goryeo, he was blinded by your Goryeo general?" ”

Jiang Hanzan heard the mockery in Kou Ji's tone, and he snorted coldly, without words.

He naturally knew the rumors of Goryeo folklore.

The rumors of scandalizing Li Shimin are also aimed at arousing the ambition of the Koreans.

At this time, Cui Donghao hurriedly said loudly: "How can the folk rumors be credulous, Kou Shumi doesn't need to be angry. Jiang Handan is just a joke.

I, Goryeo, and the Great Song Dynasty have always been good friends.

There was never a sword and a soldier intersecting.

My king also admired the Great Song Dynasty very much.

Willing to bow down.

It's just that Kou's privy councillor is too demanding.

I really can't come up with that much money.

I can only take out 200,000 yuan of coins at most.

If Kou Shumi's dissatisfaction is made, we will immediately go back to our king and see if my king can add more. ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "200,000 is not enough!" ”

When Cui Donghao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then we will return to Goryeo immediately and play my king." ”

"Walk slowly, don't send it!"

Kou Ji snorted coldly.

Cui Donghao hurriedly dragged Jiang Handan out of the City Lord's Mansion.

And the gift they brought to Kou Ji, the beauty who was already going to give Kou Ji a bribe, was thrown away in such a hurry.

After they left the City Lord's Mansion, Kou Ji decisively ordered the guards beside him: "Go and tell Di Qing that the troops are entering Goryeo!" Don't keep your hands dirty! ”

The guard was stunned for a moment.

The civil official standing not far from the guard was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly spoke, "Kou Shumi, didn't the Goryeo envoy say ......?"

Without waiting for the civil official to finish speaking, Kou Ji snorted coldly: "What did you say? Say go back and discuss? Do you believe that? They are clearly preparing to go back and dispatch troops to deal with the troops of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

The civil official hesitated for a moment and said, "But is it a little inappropriate to rashly use troops against Goryeo?" Do you want to make it clear to the official family, and wait for the official family to issue an order before sending troops? ”

Kou Ji said unhappily: "The soldiers are fast, and they can't afford to delay for a moment." The affairs of the imperial court will be discussed after Goryeo is defeated. ”

Speaking of which.

Kou Ji instructed the guards again, "Send someone to give orders to Gao Chugong, Liu Heng, Chong Shiheng, and Zhu Neng, so that they don't have to fight guerrillas for me."

I don't want to take prisoners.

Let them give up the capture of the captives and let me free to beat them.

In a month's time, I will see their soldiers and horses arrive at the Yalu River. ”

The civil official stared at Kou Ji in horror, "Hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops entered Goryeo together?!" ”

Kou Ji said in a cold tone: "If you dare to show off your deceased soldiers in front of me, I will dare to kill them until there is no one in Goryeo." If they can build a Beijing view, I will dare to build a mass grave. ”

Kou Ji's words were murderous and full of blood.

If Kang Hanzan and Choi Dong-ho pleaded softly, Kou Ji might consider using softer means to deal with Goryeo.

But Jiang Handan shouldn't have done anything, and he shouldn't have talked about those late Sui Jun and Tang Jun in front of Kou Ji.

Kou Ji pities the most about those soldiers who bury their bones in other places, and admires them the most.

Whoever dares to talk about the bones of those soldiers, Kou Ji dares to fight with them.

With Kou Ji's military order, it was sent to Di Qing's army.

Di Qing almost did not hesitate, and led his soldiers and horses to cross the Yalu River on the bridge built by the Goryeo people for the Liao people.

After the Liao people bombed the Goryeo people for the first time, in order to facilitate the future bombing of the Goryeo people, they asked the Goryeo people to build a bridge over the Yalu River.

The Goryeo people knew what the Liao people wanted them to do to build the bridge, but they still obediently repaired it.

And in the subsequent process of the Liao people blasting the Goryeo people, the Goryeo people only dared to do things on the bridge, but they didn't dare to dismantle it.

Di Qing suddenly launched an attack on Goryeo, and Goryeo didn't have time to react at all.

On the first day of Di Qing's march to Goryeo, he conquered the three cities of Goryeo.

Same day.

Jiang Hanzan and Choi Donghao, two Goryeo envoys, were escorted to Kou Ji.

The two of them did not have the same demeanor as when they first met Kou Ji.

Jiang Hanzan stared at Kou Ji and scolded.

Cui Donghao stared at Kou Ji and shouted, "The two armies are fighting, and they won't be killed." ”

Kou Ji didn't care at all.

Ordered someone to directly pull the two people out and cut them down.

The head was sent to Di Qing, and Di Qing was asked to take it to mourn those Sui and Tang soldiers on the Yalu River.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times and buried hundreds of thousands of Great Sui soldiers.

The Goryeo people used the bones of hundreds of thousands of Great Sui soldiers to build the Jingguan.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin was ashamed of this, so after the Tang Dynasty stabilized, he led the army to conquer Goryeo.

After attacking Goryeo, he destroyed the Jingguan temple built by the Goryeo people with the bones of the Great Sui soldiers.

However, because of the weather, the grass was dry and frozen, and it was difficult for the horses to stay, coupled with the problem of grain and grass, Li Shimin conquered Goryeo twice, but both ended in retreat.

The Koreans picked up the bones of the Great Sui and Tang Dynasty soldiers and rebuilt the Jingguan one by one.

And as a unique honor in the world, it has been flaunted for thousands of years.

Not only that, but also arranged rumors such as shooting Li Shimin's eyes, and Li Shimin's militia kneeling in defeat to beg for mercy, cutting land and begging for peace.

But is that really the case?

It is recorded in the history books that Li Shimin broke through the three cities of Goryeo's Xincheng, Jian'an, and garrison, beheaded more than 40,000 people, and only saved the lives of thousands of soldiers.

Due to weather and food and grass reasons, the army eventually had to be withdrawn.

So nothing happened that Li Shimin was shot blind and knelt down to beg for peace.

Li Shimin was at best a strategic retreat.

If Li Shimin knew that the Koreans would arrange him like this, nine out of nine would have taken the risk of killing the Koreans.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not give up its conquest of Goryeo after Li Shimin's two conquests of Goryeo.

In 666 AD, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi sent the veteran general Li Tao as the commander to lead the army to conquer Goguryeo, which took a total of two years and swept the entire territory of Goryeo.

Subsequently, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was established in Goryeo.

The first protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

The Koreans boasted about their own achievements, which were magnified ten times and hundredfold, but they did not say a word about their beatings.

What's more, they themselves believe it all by blowing and blowing.

And it's still the kind that I am convinced of.

Ko Ji really didn't have a good impression of the Koreans.

In addition, the Goryeo people talked about the deceased Sui and Tang soldiers in front of him.

Then Koji must be ruthless to Goryeo.

Kou Ji's generals to Di Qing are that they don't have to keep their hands.

But all the generals of the Great Song Dynasty who fought with Kou Ji knew what the words 'don't have to keep your hands' in Kou Ji's mouth meant.

The meaning of not having to keep your hands is to let go and kill, kill as much as you can.

As long as the land, not people.

In fact, Kou Ji rarely let the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty do such a desperate thing.

He generally likes to drive people to do it.

Try not to let yourself bear the notoriety, and do not let the Great Song soldiers bear the notoriety.

But the Koreans really choked Kou Ji with disgust.

Koji can only be a villain once.

After Tang Gaozong Li Zhi conquered Goryeo, he did not demolish those Jingguan.

Presumably to warn future generations.

Let future generations remember this place.

Let future generations keep this place forever and keep the bones of the deceased soldiers.

It's just that he didn't expect that the juniors would not be angry.

Not only did he fail to defend this place, but also made people regard the shame of him staying behind to warn future generations, as a meritorious feat.

Kou Ji's original idea was to ruin the Jingguan.

But after thinking about it carefully, it was decided to let people collect those bones, bury them on the spot, and build a huge cemetery with hundreds of thousands of bones to warn future generations.

As for whether this place will be taken away by someone later, and whether it will be flaunted as a success medal, Kou Ji is not worried at all.

Because if others want to turn over, if they want to show off, they have to survive from his knife.

On the third day after Di Qing led his army into Goryeo, Kou Ji rushed to the place where Jingguan was located with a group of people.

Kou Ji did not see Jingguan in later generations, but after arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, he saw Jingguan a few times.

It's just not that big.

The largest is the Jingguan built by Yelu Huge, the king of the Song Dynasty of Liao, with the corpses of the Great Song soldiers.

After the Great Song Dynasty recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Zhen personally presided over the relocation and burial, so that those soldiers were like soil.

It's just that even the Jingguan built by Yelu Huge, the king of the Song Dynasty of Liao, is far less than the scale of the Jingguan on the Yalu River in Goryeo.

The bones of hundreds of thousands of people are piled up in Jingguan, and it is very shocking to watch.

It will probably be difficult for future generations to see.

On a huge square platform made of masonry, there are four masonry pillars, and the ends of the four pillars are connected to form a sharp corner.

A massive quadrangular pyramid.

It's just that it's not filled with masonry, it's bones.

Lay one layer of foot bones, one layer of leg bones, one layer of hand bones, one layer of arm bones crossing, and one layer of skull stacking.

And so on until you reach the top.

This is the Kyokan.

In such a Beijing view, there are more than a dozen in front of Kou Ji.

"Aoyama is fortunate to bury the bones of the faithful...... Aoyama is fortunate to bury the bones of the faithful...... I didn't see Aoyama, I only saw the Jingguan ......"

Kou Ji stared at those Jingguan, his eyes were a little red.

"Li Zhi! You should have let them be buried back then! If you let them be buried in peace! They will not be regarded as successful achievements and flaunt for thousands of years!

You want to warn future generations, but future generations are not angry! ”

Kou Ji stood in front of Jingguan and muttered to himself.

"Demolish these Jingguan, collect those bones, and let them be buried in the ground!"

Kou Ji stood in front of Jingguan for a long time, and ordered in a deep voice.

The man who followed behind Kou Ji agreed, and then immediately left.

Kou Ji just stood quietly and watched.

I watched it for more than half a month.

His heart was filled with sorrow.

He returned to the Great Song Dynasty by mistake, and only then did he take the Great Song Dynasty to rise, and he brought the Great Song Dynasty to fight here, so that he had the opportunity to dismantle these Jingguan.

If he didn't have a soul to return to the Great Song Dynasty, these bones would never have a time to settle in the ground.

Not only is there no way to settle down, but even their existence is slowly forgotten.

Some people in later generations, even the martyrs buried in their own land, may not often go to mourn, let alone those buried abroad.

The saddest thing about heroes is not that they are buried in a foreign land, but that the saddest thing about heroes is that they are forgotten by the people they protect.

Kou Ji stood in front of Jingguan for more than half a month, and there were only two words that came to mind the most.

Li Zhi!

Li Zhi looked too highly at the future generations, so he let these loyal bones be exposed for thousands of years, and still did not enter the ground.

Many people in later generations felt that when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

Not really.

When Li Zhi first sat in the court, it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Zhi was sitting in the court, the Tang Dynasty soldiers pointed out, and no one could stop him.

He not only accomplished the feat of slaughtering a barbarian for a nation.

I also really hit whoever I wanted.

It wasn't someone yelling at Datang that he did it.

It's that he fights whoever he wants, and none of them are opponents.

During his reign, he actually did many great things.

For example, he destroyed Goryeo and established the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Although all his exploits are based on the huge family foundation left to him by his father Li Shimin.

But even so, you have to admit that Li Zhi is actually a Ming Jun.

It's just that his father's achievements are too high, and no matter how much he does, he can't compare with his father.

Of course, Kou Ji was thinking about Li Zhi in his heart, not because Li Zhi was a Ming Jun.

The reason why he talked about Li Zhi was to complain that Li Zhi did not let these loyal bones into the ground.

Kou Ji originally thought that he would leave after watching all the loyal bones enter the ground.

But in the end, he didn't get his way.

After Di Qing broke through the city of Jian'an in Goryeo, he fell into an embarrassing situation.

Di Qing's soldiers and horses were too few to stop the constant nuisance of Goryeo's soldiers and horses.

Goryeo used nuisance to force back the Liao soldiers in the past, and after facing the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no way to confront them head-on, so they chose to repeat their old tricks.

Although Di Qing fought the Goryeo soldiers and horses, he had no power to fight back.

But in the face of the nuisance of the Goryeo soldiers and horses, he could only temporarily slow down the offensive.

After Kou Ji knew about this, he could only leave the place where Jingguan was located and rushed back to Liaoyang Mansion to urge Chong Shiheng and others.
