The ancients were simple and distressing in terms of gratitude and gratitude, and people couldn't bear to go to the pit.

Repaying kindness with one's life was a norm among the ancients.

The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, which is not an empty word among the ancients.

For the grace of a meal, it is common to repay with life.

Outside the courtyard of the Li family, the shopkeeper in the newly raised tea shed is a living example.

Li Di just gave him some food back then, but he stayed outside Li's mansion, helped Li Di guard the door, and helped Li Di prepare a temporary place to stay, and guarded it for decades, prepared for decades.

He is inconspicuous in Bianjing City, and no one publicizes his deeds everywhere, which is enough to show that this way of repaying the grace of dripping water as a spring is a norm among the people.

The soldiers of the Hengshan Army stared at Kou Ji with stunned expressions, what they were thinking, Kou Ji probably knew.

But he didn't correct his words.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Hengshan Army were silent, he continued: "I, Kou Ji, have never been the kind of person who favors one over the other. If you go to Hexi and inquire about it, you will know, but I will never treat anyone who works with me Kou Ji.

Now, if you are working under my Kou Ji, I will naturally not treat you badly.

Some of you, although I have not made any contributions, can still find a way to get you some land and give it to you.

I don't want you to follow me, and your parents, wives and children will be starving and cold.

I don't want you to be complained about your incompetence every time you return home.

Because I know that you are all good boys.

Because I know that when you encounter a strong enemy on the battlefield, you will not blink your eyes when you tear them apart. ”

Kou Ji looked around at everyone and said loudly: "The official family can be wronged, and I, Kou Ji, as a minister, can also be wronged." But you will take your life to protect your family and defend the country, and the official family and I will definitely not let you be wronged. ”

Kou Ji pointed in the direction outside the Great Wall of Yinzhou City, and said loudly: "When I counted the captures in the northwest, I found that outside Yinzhou, there was still a place that we snatched from the Liao people.

That was what we snatched back from the Liao people, and we can't cheapen the Tangut people for nothing.

Now, I am ready to give you that land. ”

"Roar!!"

The soldiers of the Hengshan Army were shocked for a moment.

One by one, they roared vigorously, eager to rush to that place now, and get their own piece of land.

As for the truth or falsity of Kou Ji's words, they didn't have the heart to delve into it.

Kou Ji is the northwest strategy, and he grabbed the military and political power, and he defeated the Liao people, and he said that the land was snatched from the Liao people, that is, it was snatched from the Liao people.

Even if Kou Ji told them openly that that piece of land was actually from Western Xia, I would treat it as if it was snatched from the Liao people and occupy it, and the soldiers would not hesitate to occupy it.

If something really goes wrong, it is Kou Ji who is responsible, and they are the ones who take advantage.

Kou Ji is not afraid of a noble person, what are they afraid of?

Fighting the Tanguts?

Hit!

Who doesn't hit who grandchildren.

With Kou Ji's generosity, he overthrew the Western Xia people, and they were not allowed to receive a large reward.

In the past, they fought wars, won wars, and did not have much benefit to take, and if they lost, they were just reprimanded without pain.

Naturally, they don't have much of the heart to fight.

Now in a war, cut off an enemy's head, stake half a stick of incense, and it can still accumulate.

They don't bother to worry about the enemy's head.

Chop one to death, and the whole family will eat and drink without worrying.

Hack two to death, and the whole family is rich.

hacked three to death, and three generations did not worry about eating and drinking.

Why don't you cut it?

Why not fight?

Most of them were born in the land of the four wars, and they were used to wars large and small.

They had little fear of war.

Those children in the countryside who no one cares about, digging out their skulls, can happily play as a juju for a day, and they, adults, are not afraid of death.

They are not afraid of death, but of poverty.

is so poor that he uses iron as money, and he is really poor.

As long as there is a land, a life is nothing.

I don't have enough heads, I still have brothers.

My brother's head is not enough, I still have a son.

Can't wait for my son to grow up?

Then the eighty-year-old father in my family can also go to the battlefield to fight.

We don't dare to worry about high-ranking officials and lords, just give land.

As soon as Kou Ji saw that when he talked about dividing the land, the soldiers of the Hengshan Army were already excited, and he was not ambiguous, and immediately announced: "The horse army straddles the horse, the foot army rides, follow me to divide the land." ”

The officers and men of the Hengshan Army dispersed with a roar, and the speed of the horses and cars was unprecedentedly fast.

Just as Kou Ji was waiting for them to prepare, Liu Heng had already hurried to Kou Ji's side to report: "Fourth brother, the brothers are ready......

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, "So fast? ”

Liu Heng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Can you be happy, as soon as I heard about the division of land, I was all crazy." One by one, I can't wait to grow wings and fly over. ”

Kou Ji got up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, notify the soldiers and start immediately." ”

With Kou Ji's order, the soldiers of the Hengshan Army left Yinzhou City with high spirits.

In front of the Great Wall.

Kou Ji issued a token, and the soldiers on the Great Wall immediately let him go.

After Kou Ji walked away, the soldiers guarding the pass gathered in groups to discuss.

"What are they going to do? Haven't the Liao people been driven away? Why are they still out of town? ”

"I heard that I was going to divide the land......"

"Divide the land? Isn't the land outside the city empty? ”

"I heard that when Kou Jingluo was counting and seizing, he found that there was a piece of land that was not divided."

"Nonsense, from the arrival of the Liao people in Yinzhou, to Kou Jingluo's drive of the Liao people out of Yinzhou, and then to Kou Jingluo's division of land, I have seen it all in my eyes at all. There is no land to divide outside the city, and it has already been divided. ”

“……”

The soldiers guarding the gate were silent at this point.

After a long time, a slightly nervous voice sounded.

"Kou Jingluo won't take people to fight Western Xia and divide the land of Western Xia, right? I heard that Kou Jingluo has been staying in the northwest and refuses to return to the dynasty because he hates the Tangut people for calculating my Great Song Dynasty and is ready to teach the Tangut people a lesson. ”

"This ......"

"No......"

"Eighty percent is...... I heard that when Kou Jingluo was in Hexi, the Caotou King of Shazhou calculated the soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, Kou Jingluo was furious, and slaughtered the entire Caotou King of Shazhou, and also distributed the land of Shazhou to the people of my Great Song Dynasty...... The group of eyeless people in Western Xia, who is not good to provoke, provoke Kou Jingliu, Kou Jingliu will definitely not let them go......"

“……”

The soldiers guarding the pass 'deduced' Kou Ji's plan, and one by one they took a deep breath with different expressions.

"It's going to be war again...... Will we ......"

"Could it be anything?"

"Will it be defeat......ed?"

"Didn't you wake up, how could Kou Jingluo be defeated? Kou Jingluo used more than 1,000 people to defeat the 150,000 army of those barbarians in the Western Regions. In Qu Yechuan, he led tens of thousands of people and overthrew 100,000 elite soldiers of the Liao State. How could Kou Jingliu be defeated? ”

"That's called Deshengchuan, Kou Jingluo is in Deshengchuan, and more than 1,000 people have used it."

"No matter how many people there are, anyway, Kou Jinglu defeated the strong with the weak and defeated countless strong enemies. Kou Jing defeated the strong with the weak, and he was able to defeat countless strong enemies, but now he has strong soldiers and horses in his hands, how can he lose the battle. ”

"That's right...... I heard that Kou Jinglu is the reincarnation of Bai Qi of the Qin Dynasty......"

"Nonsense, it's obviously Han Xin, a soldier in the Han Dynasty......"

The two soldiers quarreled endlessly over who Kou Ji was reincarnated.

An older soldier scolded.

"What's the use of all this arguing? Who is the reincarnation of Kou Jingliu, and is it so important? The important thing is to follow Kou Jingluo, to be able to win battles, and to have land. Do you not covet the land?

I went to see it when I was a little divided before.

There was a dog's day, a long crooked melon and a cracked jujube, who didn't look as good as us, and had a good fate, and on the way to escape, he cut off the heads of six Liao people.

The counselor sent down by Kou Jingluo said that the two heads cut off on the way to escape can only be counted as one.

So let that dog's day stake the ground, run for a half-incense time.

After the dog got on the horse, he ran as hard as he could.

The land circled is much more than the land of Yang Dahu in our county.

also took advantage of the situation to enclose a large mansion.

Kou Jingluo rewarded all those lands and mansions to that dog's day.

The dog day has become a big family now. ”

When the older soldiers said this, the soldiers around them became very short of breath one by one.

Some soldiers did not hide their envy and said: "We are also soldiers, we are better than them, why do they have a share of land, but we don't?" ”

After a pause, he added.

"When the Liao people attacked the Great Wall, we killed no fewer Liao people than them."

"Hey...... Why else, because people follow Kou Jingluo. Our Great Song Dynasty is good to the soldiers, and the only one who dares to give the soldiers money and land is Kou Jinglue. ”

"Isn't that Kou Jingluo more majestic than the emperor."

"Smack......

The guy who didn't keep the door in his mouth was rewarded with a slap as soon as he said something out of place.

It was the old soldier who beat him, and after the old soldier beat him, he scolded viciously: "Clamp your mouth tightly for Lao Tzu, don't talk nonsense, don't cause trouble to Kou Jing."

There are not many good officials like Kou Jingliu who treat us soldiers as human beings.

Others can slander Kou Jinglu and bring trouble to Kou Jingluo.

But we can't, not only can't we bring trouble to Kou Jingluo, but we also have to protect him.

In the future, whoever doesn't keep the door open, talks nonsense, and causes trouble to Kou Jing, don't mix in Lao Tzu's Shili. ”

The soldier who was slapped hurriedly admitted his mistake, "I won't dare to ...... again"

"Humph!"

The older soldier snorted coldly, full of warning.

A slightly young soldier glanced at him a few times and said, "Second uncle, I want to go and serve as a soldier for Kou Jingluo......

The older soldier opened his dirty cavity, which was a constant swear word, "Who the hell doesn't want it, Lao Tzu also wants to ...... But Lao Tzu is a guard, and he can't move his military membership for the rest of his life. You are not eligible to leave here until you live to be seventy and when you are old. ”

Although the Great Song Dynasty followed many Tang systems, it was very different from the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers in terms of military system.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were basically professional soldiers.

Once you join the army, you will be a soldier for life.

There are only two ways to get out.

Either run away or live to seventy.

Yes.

That's right.

The professional soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can be traced back to seventy years of service.

It's really a young man who left home and went back to his hometown.

Unless there are any exceptions, or if they are dismissed by the imperial court on their own initiative, it is impossible to leave the military.

However, there are few exceptions, and the imperial court takes the initiative to reform, and even fewer are few.

From the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, when Kou Zhun was in charge and streamlined the army in the world, he had a revolution.

Except for this time, there has never been a dismissal.

In fact, there are very few people in the army who can live to the age of seventy.

The soldiers around the older soldiers heard his words, and their expressions were a little dark.

Seeing this, the older soldier groaned and said, "Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance...... Kou Jingluo was in the northwest, not only leading troops to fight, but also rectifying a lot of military affairs.

You see, the Jinning Army and the Suide Army were reorganized into the Zhenbei Army, and they became the forbidden army.

Kou Jingluo organized some of the old troops of the Zhejia Army, as well as some defenders in Yinzhou City, together and formed the Hengshan Army.

It is estimated that it will not be long before we, the soldiers guarding the gates, will also be grouped together.

Kou Jingluo wants to fight the Tangut people, and he will definitely be able to use us.

As soon as Kou Jinglu gives us a chance, we will do our best to greet the heads of the Tangut people.

If one person chops off a few of his heads, we can also stake the ground. ”

The soldiers around him nodded solemnly when they heard this.

The captain who hid in the dark and listened to their conversation was in tears.

Since Kou Jingluo arrived in the northwest, this soldier is not easy to bring.

Thanks to the extremely strict military system of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, the soldiers guarding the pass would probably have defected to Kou Jinglue en masse.

Speaking of which, does Kou Jingliu have an opinion on us soldiers who guard the gates?

Why did you reorganize others, regardless of us?

Should we take the initiative to write a book and ask for a chance?

Whether it is to cut the Liao people or the Western Xia people, we are not ambiguous.

We have guarded the gates for all these years, and we have cut off a lot of heads of the Tangut people.

We can fight.

As soon as the captain who was guarding the pass thought of this, he didn't continue to hide in the corner and listen to the root of the wall, he decided to go back and write a document to Kou Ji, so that Kou Ji could give them a chance.

The captain guarding the pass, who was an official, knew more information than ordinary soldiers.

He knew very well that if he followed Kou Jing, he could not only mix to the ground, but also get the title.

When Kou Jingluo was fighting in Hexi, he brought out three dukes, one marquis and twelve uncles.

Fought in the northwest and brought out one prince and four uncles.

If Kou Jinglu really wants to start a war with the Tanguts, if he follows the chaos, he can also mix with an earl.

The thoughts of the guards naturally didn't know what Kou Ji had.

After Kou Ji arrived in Yinzhou City, he felt that the soldiers at various passes along the Great Wall were good, and when they resisted the Liao and Western Xia people, they were very brave in battle, and there was no omission, so they did not have the intention of mobilizing them.
