Kou Ji squinted his eyes, stared at the military captain of the Zhejia family and Wang Kai, and said with a smile: "I said why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and pick up the heads of the Liao soldiers, it turns out that you are worried about the horses left by the Liao soldiers." ”

Wang Kai and the captain of the Zhijia military academy smiled dryly.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Those horses should be captured by the imperial court, right?" ”

Wang Kai and the captain of the Zhejia Military Academy jumped at the same time, and their faces were a little bitter.

Kou Ji continued to laugh and said, "But you are very brave in this battle, and it is not difficult to send some of those horses to you. ”

Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at Kou Ji with blank eyes.

Kou Ji smiled: "Within two hours, how much can be recovered." Two hours later, all the horses belonged to the imperial court. ”

When Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family heard this, they nodded vigorously as if they had been amnestied.

Why Kou Ji set two hours, they also had a rough guess in their hearts.

It was supposed to prevent them from delaying the fighter.

Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family immediately sent all the people under his command to find the horse.

Kou Ji was not in a hurry, and accompanied them until his men went to find the horses.

Two hours later.

Wang Kai and the men under the captain of the Zhejia military academy returned to the bank of the river with more than 30,000 horses.

When the horses had fled the riverbank, they did not run far, but gathered together in groups and hid in the horns.

Wang Kai and the people under the military captain of the Zhejia family naturally found them easily.

If it weren't for the limited time given by Koji, they would probably have been able to find more horses to come back.

After Wang Kai and the soldiers of the Zhejia military academy came back from looking for horses, Kou Ji followed them to pursue Xiao Xiaomu.

Before leaving, Kou Ji instructed Wang Yunsheng, Ming Hao and others to take the servants of Kou Mansion to stay first, so that they could organize the people who had been affected by the war in the northwest to re-establish the rule of officials and rebuild their homes.

Wang Yunsheng and Ming Ho are very handy in this.

After hearing Kou Ji's instructions, he didn't say a word, nodded and agreed.

After they nodded and agreed, Kou Ji left a few handwritten notes and followed Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family to pursue Xiao Xiaomu.

rode horses all the way, and it was not until the evening that they caught up with the soldiers and horses under Liu Qi and Guo Yi, who rushed out for a long time.

They chased after the Liao people along the way, beheaded many Liao people, and captured many Liao people.

However, Kou Ji did not see Liu Qi, Guo Yi, and Gao Chugong.

I found out after careful inquiry.

Gao Di Gong and the three of them, on the way of pursuit, encountered a lot of fleeing war horses, riding war horses, with a small number of elites, to chase Xiao Xiaomu.

It can be seen that whether it is Gao Chugong, Liu Qi and Guo Yi, they are all determined to win Xiao Xiaomu's head.

Take Xiao Xiaomu's head, then they will really ascend to the sky in one step.

Naturally, they won't miss this opportunity.

Especially Gao Chu Gong, a person who once stood on the clouds and saw the scenery on the clouds, hung three feet down to Xiao Xiaomu's head.

Kou Ji had the intention to lead people to chase the footsteps of Gao Di Gong and the others, but considering that many Liao soldiers were on the way to escape, they turned into scattered small groups of soldiers and horses, and scattered to various places, so he had to stop and lead the Suide army, the Longzhou garrison, and part of the Jinning army, and began to sweep away the remnants of the Liao soldiers in the northwest.

In order to avoid any accidents happening to Gong Takachi and others.

Kou Ji instructed Wang Kai and the two military captains of the Zhejia family to lead 10,000 horses and gallop across the horses to help the three of them.

Kou Ji led his men and horses, like ploughing the ground, ploughing the northwest territory previously occupied by the Liao, and completely cleaned up the Liao army.

The Liao people have not occupied Linzhou and other places for a long time, but they can do a lot of angry things.

Often, Kou Ji sent people to rescue the people from the Liao people, and the people would flock to the Liao people and beat those Liao people who were taken down to death.

Kou Ji swept for four days, and instead of increasing the number of prisoners under his command, he took in a few hundred people.

Kou Ji didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Kou Ji swept until the fifth day, and swept into the city of Linzhou.

Corpses were everywhere outside the city of Linzhou, and the city walls were dyed blood.

There was not a single corpse in Linzhou City.

The reason why this is so is because the defenders of Linzhou City, as well as the Baode Army, fought with the Liao people in Linzhou City and fought to the last soldier.

They did not flee, nor did they survive in the city.

Instead, he stood on the city wall and died in the face of the Liao.

Or before he died, he jumped off the city wall and used his body to make a final fight.

After the Liao people took Linzhou City, they did not collect their corpses, nor did they send soldiers and horses to occupy Linzhou City.

Therefore, the corpses in Linzhou City were placed for a long time under the blue sky and white sun.

When Kou Ji led people into Linzhou City.

Wang Kai and the captain of the Zhejia Military Academy are leading the soldiers to collect the bodies of those dead loyal souls.

Kou Ji looked at the city gate for a long time, took out a prepared head from the servant's backpack, and sighed faintly: "I originally wanted to keep you as a foothold, but when I saw the loyal soul of Linzhou City, I found that you are not worthy of giving me a foot.

You should be buried under the avenue at the gate of the city, ridden by a thousand people, trampled by ten thousand people, for thousands of years. ”

Kou Ji casually handed the head to the servant and instructed, "Take it, dig a deep pit in the middle of the avenue at the gate of the city, and bury it in it." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, the servant took the head and went to bury it.

After the servant left, Kou Ji instructed the relatives around him: "You go and tell Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family, and ask them to send some people to help the soldiers collect the bones." All the others withdrew from Linzhou City.

Let them cover their mouths and noses with a cloth when they send for the bones to be collected from them.

Finally, sprinkle a penny with lime in Linzhou City.

Those who helped the soldiers to collect the bones were also soaked in lime water after they had been buried, and they lived alone for seven or eight days, and after they had made sure that they were not sick, they were released. ”

Often, after a great calamity, there will be a great plague.

There were many casualties in this military disaster.

Among them, there are countless corpse wildernesses.

There is a great possibility of spawning a plague.

Kou Ji had to guard against it.

It's true that Koji is a traverser, but a traverser is not omnipotent.

At least in the face of the plague, he was powerless.

How terrible the plague is, Koji knows it.

Once the plague broke out, it would be a great disaster for the Great Song Dynasty, and the same would be true for the people.

When Kou Ji was on the edge of the Yellow River, he specially handed Wang Yunsheng a handwritten letter and asked him to spread it all the way back to Bianjing City.

The handwritten book states that there was a great battle in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, with countless casualties.

All the governments downstream must send people to the banks of the Yellow River to salvage the corpses that have drifted to the banks of the Yellow River.

At the same time, people on the banks of the Yellow River are prohibited from eating sashimi (sashimi) for three months, and people on the banks of the Yellow River are also prohibited from drinking raw water for three months.

There is a mention of plague in Kou Ji's handbook, so after the handbook reaches Bianjing, Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng will definitely cooperate to issue the corresponding will.

Although after this kind of will is issued, there will be some corrupt officials and evil officials who will take the opportunity to make money.

But in order to avoid the plague, it can only be cheaper for those corrupt officials once.

Wait until July and August.

If there is no illness or disaster, then Kou Ji can invite Zhao Zhen and send Zhang Zhibai to inspect the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

After Zhang Zhibai inspected the lower reaches of the Yellow River, he returned to Bianjing City and could serve as the governor of the government.

After Kou Ji sent someone to pass the order to Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family, the two didn't say anything and did it directly.

There are some things that no one reminds us, so naturally no one cares.

Someone reminds you, and you can naturally imagine it.

Wang Kai was born in the Jiangmen, and the military captain of the Zhijia family fought all year round, and he had more or less seen the plague after the military disaster, so they could more or less guess the purpose of Kou Ji's doing.

After the outbreak of the plague, the imperial court's solution to the plague was always simple and rude.

A plague was found in a city and the city was closed.

A plague was found in a place, a fiefdom.

In the absence of treatment, the people in the places where the plague appeared were left to fend for themselves.

It is worth mentioning that most of the ordinary people rarely go out.

Some ordinary people may have never been out of the place under the rule of the city in their lives.

So there are very few people who wander around.

Often, plagues occur in one place, and when the roads are blocked, they quickly subside.

As for how many people will die in the blocked places.

No one dares to count, and no one dares to count.

Often, there is a plague, and after the lockdown, that place will be reduced to a dead place, and no one will set foot in it for more than ten years.

Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family are not murderous people, and they also have benevolence and righteousness in their hearts.

So when he understood that Kou Ji was defending against the plague, he cooperated decisively.

They didn't want the people to be plagued by their negligence.

I don't want my soldiers to be infected with the plague because of their negligence.

The left and right are just with cloth and locked up for a few days.

Under the military order, the soldiers had no possibility of chirping.

You can only do so.

Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family worked hard in Linzhou City for a long time before they collected the corpses in Linzhou City and buried them in one place.

After Kou Ji piled up the graves, on behalf of the court, on behalf of the official family, and on behalf of himself, he mourned the dead loyal souls.

And in front of the heroic spirits, they wrote their merits and their deeds into a recital, and sent someone to hand it back to the imperial court.

Previously, when Linzhou City was broken, Kou Ji handed a note to the imperial court.

And so again, but not repeatedly.

Because in the new recital, Kou Ji mentioned the problem of the resettlement of the families of the dead loyal souls.

On the battlefield, Kou Ji did not play any role other than providing some firearms to stabilize the battle situation.

But in terms of post-war work, Koji can do a lot.

The Liao people wreaked havoc in the vicinity of Linzhou for a long time, killing many people and vacating a lot of land.

Koji can give it to the families of the loyal souls.

As for those family members who are near Linzhou City and have died, Kou Ji can only mourn silently for them, and write to Zhao Zhen to posthumously seal his three generations.

The imperial court was actually very inhumane to the Xiang army.

did not give good armaments, nor too much food, but made them shoulder a heavier burden than the forbidden army.

Especially the box army on the border.

They really defend the land and protect the family.

However, the vast majority of the troops who were sent to the frontier were implicated in disasters or crimes committed by people in the tribe.

So when they joined the army, their families moved to the border.

Often, behind the fortress where the soldiers of the Xiang army are stationed is the shack where their families live.

Therefore, once the enemy army breaks through the city pass and slaughters on a large scale, then the destruction of the whole family is close at hand.

The defenders of Linzhou City, and even most of the families of the loyal souls of the Baode Army, were actually killed in this battle.

Therefore, many loyal souls who died could not enjoy the rewards given to them by the imperial court.

There was nothing Kou Ji could do about it.

It can only give them enough glory, as well as revenge.

After paying tribute to the loyal souls and erecting a monument recording their feats.

Kou Ji returned to the tent outside the city with Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Kou Ji took the lead and asked, "Liu Qi and the others have already chased out of the Great Wall?" ”

Wang Kai and the captain of the Zhejia military academy nodded in unison.

The captain of the Zhijia Military Academy said in a deep voice: "There are not only Liao people outside the Great Wall, but also Western Xia people. ”

He didn't want to evaluate the reckless actions of Liu Qi and others, so he could only list the enemy.

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly, and said lightly: "If you go out, you will go out, the Liao people have committed a heinous crime in my northwest, how can you just leave, if you can leave them all, you will naturally have to leave them all."

As I said before, if you want to hit the Great Wall, then you will definitely hit the Great Wall. ”

Wang Kai opened his mouth and did not speak.

The captain of the Zhejia military academy said in a deep voice: "Although my Great Song Dynasty defeated the Liao people this time, our own losses are not small. Now that our Great Song Dynasty heavy army is still fighting in Yanyun, if we continue to fight in the northwest, I am afraid that the imperial court will not agree. ”

If you go to war, you have to burn money.

The longer you fight, the more you burn.

The longer the front, the more it burns.

If there is a war on two fronts, there will be more burning.

Although the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty is now very full, if the two fronts start a war and burn money together, it will be burned out quickly.

Some people in the DPRK and China who are worried about money will naturally not easily agree to a war on two fronts.

Kou Ji heard the words of the military captain of the Zhejia family, and said lightly: "I continue to set off a big war in the northwest, and I don't need anyone to agree." When I left Beijing, the official family said that as long as I can dare to send the Liao people out of the northwest, no matter what I do, the imperial court will not care.

The court is willing to pay, so it's naturally good.

If the court is unwilling to pay, it doesn't matter.

Don't divide the spoils.

When the time comes, everything we have gained in the war will be our own.

As long as our enemies are rich enough and we start a big war, we will make a sure profit. ”

The military captain of the Zhejia family hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Xixia people...... Poor ......."

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, his brows slightly raised, a little surprised.

The words of the military captain of the Ori family are correct.

Western Xia was poor.

In the past, Western Xia was very poor.

The current Western Xia was even poorer.

How poor is it?

Poor enough to have an immortal horse.

What is an immortal horse?

That is to say, all horses under the crotch of regular soldiers in Western Xia cannot die or be injured.

If you are dead or injured, you have to pay for it yourself.

In other words, no matter how much the horse is damaged on the battlefield, the number of horses cannot change in the end, unless you also die on the battlefield.

If you don't die, and the horse is wounded, crippled, or dead, you have to compensate the horse.
