"Hahaha...... Kou Ji, when you heard that the enemy was coming, your scared pants fell off? ”

Just as Kou Ji was talking to himself, Chen Lin's voice full of ridicule sounded outside the tent.

"I knew ......"

Kou Ji held his forehead with his hand, and there was an indescribable depression in his heart.

Chen Lin laughed heartily and entered Kou Ji's tent.

Staring at Kou Ji who was sitting in the tent, he said mockingly: "Our family remembers that you have been on the battlefield many times and faced countless strong enemies, why did you fall off your pants in fear?" ”

Kou Ji put down his hand, glared at Chen Lin, and said angrily: "The pants were accidentally pulled off when they lifted me down, not scared off." ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "Anyway, it is now spread all over the army, saying that when you kill the enemy closely, your pants are scared off." It's useless to explain it. ”

Kou Ji said resentfully: "What I said is the truth. ”

Chen Lin laughed and said, "Is it important? Anyway, it won't be long before everyone in the world will know that you are the first privy envoy of my Great Song Dynasty to be scared out of his pants on the battlefield.

You are also from a civil service, and you should understand that the people are more willing to believe this than the truth. ”

Kou Ji was annoyed, "Whoever spreads the rumor, I'm going to kill him." ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "The generals and soldiers in the army are all passing on, can you still slaughter them all?" ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin viciously, "You must have also contributed to the troubles behind the scenes, right?" ”

Chen Lin said with an innocent face: "Our family hasn't done anything......

Kou Ji didn't believe it at all, but he was helpless with the old thing.

Less than half an hour after Chen Lin came in, Chong Shiheng and Di Qing entered the tent together.

As soon as he entered the tent, Chong Shiheng said to Kou Ji in a very firm tone: "Privy envoy, we have won ......"

Di Qing echoed on the side: "Not only did I win, but I also captured a lot of prisoners. In the ravine, and on the mountain, a total of 150,000 prisoners were captured. One of the enemy soldiers went around the hill and ran behind us, and I made arrangements behind us, and they couldn't escape.

When the war is over, it is estimated that some prisoners will be captured again. ”

Kou Ji took two deep breaths, calmed down, and said, "Where is the enemy retreating now?" ”

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "The enemy has now retreated fifteen miles away, and our scouts have been keeping an eye on it, and they will inform us as soon as there is any disturbance." ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, let the soldiers who should rest go down to rest, and when the enemy comes back next time, we won't behave so hastily." ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and agreed, "I had already ordered it before I came." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "That's good......"

Chong Shiheng spoke: "What to do with the captives? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "For the time being, use the rope to string it together and use it as a people's husband." ”

When Chong Shiheng heard this, he stopped talking.

Kou Ji finished chatting with them about business, and the expression on his face changed instantly, "I heard that there have been some rumors in the army recently, and someone is still behind it?" ”

When Chong Shiheng and Di Qing heard Kou Ji's words, their faces instantly became strange.

Chong Shiheng held back a smile, and his shoulders shook.

Di Qing was honest, and he said to Kou Ji: "Brother, there are just some rumors in the army, which are related to you. But the soldiers know the truth, and they know that you are not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

The soldiers just took this as a joke, and no one took it seriously.

There is no one behind it. ”

Kou Ji snorted, "Is my identity something they can talk about behind their backs?!" ”

Di Qing looked embarrassed.

Chong Shiheng held back a smile and said: "Privy envoy, you have also experienced a lot of battles large and small, and even suffered assassination by the enemy, and the soldiers in the army know about this.

They are now spreading the word about you dropping your pants, and they just think it's funny, and they don't mean to discredit you.

You don't have to be angry. ”

Kou Ji glared at Chong Shiheng and said, "They can not be serious, but can the people in the country also not be serious?" Rumors stop at the wise, but how many wise men can there be in this kind of thing? ”

Chong Shiheng said with a smile: "The soldiers have spread the word, and it can't be stopped now." You should also understand that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the mouths of the soldiers cannot be stopped. ”

Kou Ji shouted: "Then find a way to block me." ”

Chong Shiheng spread out his hand and said decisively: "I can't help it." ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said: "I can't help it, I can't think of it, the next time the enemy attackes, I'll pull out your pants and throw them on the battlefield." ”

The smile on Chong Shiheng's face froze instantly.

"Ahem......"

Just as Kou Ji was about to continue to threaten Chong Shiheng, Chen Lin suddenly coughed.

Kou Ji suddenly looked at Chen Lin and shouted, "You also want to be thrown on the battlefield with your pants pulled out?" ”

Chen Lin changed the hippie smile just now, and said solemnly: "Our family has something serious to say." ”

Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Di Qing immediately changed their attitudes and looked at Chen Lin seriously.

Public is public, private is private, they are very clear.

Chen Lin also looked serious, "Just now, the people of our family finally got in touch with the spies over there in the capital." The spies on the side of Shangjing sent back the news, saying that after the Ayan Department and the other seven departments left, the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department joined hands to storm the Shangjing City.

When I saw that the capital was about to fall.

From the northeast of Shangjing City, a strange army was killed.

Not only did he help Yelu Zongzhen defeat the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department, but also drove them out of Shangjing ten miles away. ”

When Kou Ji and the three of them heard this, they were all stunned.

Kou Ji couldn't help but say, "Yelu Sect really still has this kind of backhand?" ”

Chong Shiheng groaned: "He can endure until this time before letting his back hand attack, and this endurance is far beyond ordinary people." At his age, if he can have this endurance, if he grows up, he must be a male lord who will not lose to Yelu Longxu. ”

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "I'm more curious about what kind of soldiers and horses can easily defeat the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department have only been created for a short time, they can steadily occupy the first place of the New Khitan Nine Clans, and they can also suppress the Xi Wang Department, which means that their soldiers and horses are not weak.

Not to mention the Xi Wang Ministry, most of the foreign wars of the Liao State in the past were participated by the Xi Wang Ministry, so their combat effectiveness was not weak.

The soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department combined, even if we deal with them, it will take a little more means.

How strong are the soldiers and horses that can easily defeat them? ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji and the three of them to speak, Di Qing continued: "When the capital was in danger, a strong reinforcement suddenly appeared, could it be that Yelu Longxu left Yelu Longxu to Yelu Zong's real backhand, so how much Yelu Longxu left?"

Everyone should know that before the rise of our Great Song Dynasty, Liao was the overlord of the four seas.

The Liao State has been dominating for many years, and I am afraid that there is more heritage than we see.

If Yelu Longxu leaves a lot of follow-up for Yelu Zongzhen, then we will have to be careful when we deal with it later. ”

As soon as Di Qing's words fell, Chen Lin slowly spoke: "General Di doesn't have to worry too much, it is not so easy to gallop to the troops and horses of Yelu Zongzhen and defeat the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department, but it took a lot of strength, and almost half of the casualties were killed.

Our family thinks that it should be the only backhand that Yelu Longxu left to Yelu Zong.

If there were other back-ups, Yelu Zongzhen would not have watched such a strong army suffer more than half of the casualties. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he asked, "What is the origin of that army of soldiers and horses?" ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, that army is not any of the soldiers and horses of the Khitan Eight Tribes, but a Jurchen.

There are only 20,000 people, some are born Jurchens, and some are mature Jurchens.

The leader was the Jurchen general who was pulled up by Yelu Longxu. ”

Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng were a little surprised when they heard this.

Chong Shiheng exclaimed: "20,000 Jurchens, who can defeat the combined forces of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department who attacked the capital by tens of thousands, is not ordinarily strong." ”

Kou Ji's focus was different from that of Chong Shiheng, and after hearing the name of the bones, he muttered: "If I remember correctly, the bones were previously a general in the leather room army, and later he was sent to the Jingbei Province of the Liao State as a town guard general, and his subordinates led a part of the pure Liao people's soldiers and horses.

Now he has actually transformed into the commander of a powerful Jurchen tribe.

Yelu Longxu's many previous arrangements for him were not a trick?

Also, although there are quite a few Jurchens in Liao, most of them are scattered all over Liao.

Among them, the largest mature Jurchen tribe is the Jurchen tribe located in the Bohai Sea.

There are barely 20,000 or 30,000 people.

When they sniped Yelu Zongzhen and returned to Shangjing, they sent out more than 3,000 people and gave Yelu Zongzhen a ruthless blow.

The rest became our prisoners, and some of them were among the murderers.

Where did the soldiers and horses of the 20,000 Jurchen tribes come from? ”

Kou Ji finished speaking.

Chen Lin, Chong Shiheng, and Di Qing looked at each other, and the questions Kou Ji asked were also what they wanted to know.

Seeing Chen Lin's same expression as Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and asked, "Don't you know?" ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly, "If our family knows, we will say it, and we won't hide it at all." ”

Chong Shiheng speculated: "Yelu Longxu's arrangement in the bones should be a trick. As for the 20,000 Jurchens who suddenly appeared, they should have been secretly recruited by Yelu Longxu when he was alive.

With 20,000 of them, they defeated the more than 100,000 combined forces of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department, which means that they are elite soldiers who can fight well.

They should have been in the army for a long time, and they should have participated in many battles. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said: "As far as I know, the Liao people have not used any unknown soldiers and horses in their wars in recent years, nor have they poured in large numbers of Jurchens. ”

Di Qing pondered and said, "With Yelu Longxu's previous power, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a team of soldiers and horses to be trained in places we don't know, right?"

He may not be able to fight with the Jurchens in large quantities, nor can he recruit the Jurchens in large quantities.

But he can quietly recruit and drill.

There are quite a few Jurchens in the territory of Liao.

He selects a few people in one tribe, and he can pick many people in a circle.

Pick a little bit a year, and in a few years, you can pick a team of 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Chen Lin heard Di Qing's words and nodded together.

They felt that what Di Qing said was reasonable, and they should be very close to the truth.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there was no news from the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses before.

After nodding his head, Chong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "We don't really need to care about how they came here. Although they defeated the soldiers and horses of the Wulie and Xi Wang tribes, they only expelled the soldiers and horses of the Wulie and Xi Wang tribes for a certain distance, and did not completely annihilate these two soldiers and horses.

Then the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department are likely to attack the capital again after they are reorganized.

Winter is coming soon.

In winter, heavy snow blocked the roads, and there was no way to march.

However, it did not prevent the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department from attacking the capital. ”

The soldiers and horses of the Wulie and Xiwang tribes were near Shangjing, and there was no need for long-distance marches at all, so even if the road was closed by heavy snow, the impact on them would not be very great.

They just need to expend some troops to clear the snow.

Kou Ji and Di Qing both nodded in agreement.

Chong Shiheng continued: "If the people of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department attack the capital again, they will definitely fight to the end. Because the war has reached their part, they have no choice but to take the capital.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether that Jurchen army can survive the attack of the combined forces of the Wulie Department and the Xi Wang Department. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Just let them bite." By the time they bite out the results, it is estimated that it will be the beginning of spring next year. When the time comes, we just go over and pick up the bargain. ”

Chong Shiheng and Di Qing smiled and nodded.

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two go down and do things." Let's not forget that we still have a bunch of thugs to deal with. ”

Chong Shiheng and Di Qing arched their hands and withdrew from the tent.

Chen Lin was about to leave, but was stopped by Kou Ji.

"Stop!"

Kou Ji shouted at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin heard Kou Ji's unkind tone, glanced at Kou Ji and said, "What does Kou Shumi's command have?" ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and said, "Let those spies under your command who go back and forth between Bianjing City and here not talk nonsense to me." If there are any rumors coming from Bianjing City, I will find an official to participate in you. ”

Chen Lin rolled her eyes and said, "Our family is not so idle!" ”

Kou Ji snorted.

Chen Lin flicked her sleeves and left the tent.

Outside the tent.

Soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, counting prisoners, and rearming defenses.

The soldiers were busy until the night, and then they were busy.

Just when Kou Ji lit the candle and prepared to verify the merits of the soldiers according to the official documents of military merit sent by the army members.

Di Qing appeared in the tent.

"Brother, Li Si, they have captured more than 30,000 captives on the side of the mountain, and the leader of them is the head of the Immortal Sect."

Kou Ji's hand lifted the pen slightly, and said with some surprise: "You also caught one with an identity?" ”

Di Qing nodded and said: "Li Si, they have made a great contribution this time, but it's a pity that they are Jiaozhi soldiers and horses, and they have made meritorious contributions, and the imperial court can't directly go last time, and there is no way to add officials to them." ”

Kou Ji put down his pen and said, "You don't have to worry about their merits. The official family asked Jiaozhi to send troops, and the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi established meritorious deeds here, and the official family would naturally give an explanation to the king of Jiaozhi.

When the time comes, they will receive their due reward from the King of Cochin. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji groped his chin and said, "That Immortal Sect leader, you bring it up and let me meet it." ”

When Di Qing heard this, he hurriedly said: "That person painted himself with flowers, and he is a woman, which is really not very elegant." I handed someone over to Chen Lin, asked Chen Lin to wash her, and then sent it to you. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his whole person was not good.

"When I saw her, I was interrogating a prisoner, not pampering her."

Di Qing explained with a smile: "I naturally know that my brother is not a woman. I asked Chen Lin to wash her mainly because she had too much smeared on her body and the smell was too big, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to stand it. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "How much flavor can it be?" ”

Di Qing smiled bitterly and said, "The two Jiaozhi soldiers who were responsible for capturing her almost fainted......

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "That's really a big ......."

The officers and men in the army usually stay in the barracks, which are full of all kinds of sweat and smell, and are used to the smelly environment.

can smoke them to the point of fainting, which means that the smell on the other party is really not ordinary.

"Wait for someone to wash it and bring it over, I have something to ask."

Kou Ji commanded.

Di Qing agreed, bowed, and exited the tent.

Kou Ji brought up and began to verify the merits of the soldiers, and verified it for a while.

Chen Lin appeared in Kou Ji's tent with someone.

Chen Lin was accompanied by four strong eunuchs, who were holding a woman in her thirties, her cheeks were red, and her face was full of panic and timidity.

The woman is none other than the head of the Immortal Sect, Tuktu Du Duoyi.

She was so flustered and timid because Chen Lin was too ruthless.

In order to wipe away the dirt and some paint on the woman's body, Chen Lin took a stiff brush and brushed her vigorously.

Brushed her skin red.

If it weren't for her rough skin and thick flesh, Chen Lin would have been able to brush off a layer of skin from her.

She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of torture.

Some people may question, saying that she is not even afraid of death, why is she afraid of torture?

In fact, people who are afraid of death do not mean that they are not afraid of torture.

Many captives had the courage to commit suicide, but not to face torture.

Because most of the torture makes life worse than death.

Kou Ji glanced up and down at Tuketu Duduoyi, who looked ordinary and flustered, and slowly spoke, "What's your name?" ”

Tuketu Du Duoyi heard Kou Ji speak, shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Tuketu Du Duoyi! ”

Kou Ji continued to ask, "You are the head of the Immortal Sect?" ”

"Yes!"

Tuktu Dudoi hurriedly replied.

Kou Ji nodded and said in a deep voice: "I am Kou Ji, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Tuketu Duoyi was stunned, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a pop.

Kou Ji looked stunned, "Am I that terrible? ”

Tuktu Dudoi glanced at Kou Ji and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Listen...... I heard that you have killed more people than we in the Immortal Sect......"

Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said suspiciously, "Is this really the head of the Immortal Sect?" ”

The Immortal Sect is also one of the nine tribes of the New Khitan, and it is a major force in the Liao Kingdom.

The leader is like this?

As soon as Chen Lin was about to speak, he heard Tuketu Du Duoyi take the first step and said, "I am!" I am! ”

Kou Ji looked at Tuketu Du Duoyi in disbelief, and said, "The Immortal Sect can occupy the Jingdong Road of the Liao Kingdom, and its power is not small.

Just like you, can you control this Immortal Sect? ”

Tuktududuo said with some embarrassment: "It is the gods who control the Immortal Sect, and I am just helping the gods convey the oracles." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he immediately understood why she was able to control the Immortal Sect with such a person.

The strength is insufficient, and religion comes to make up.

As long as the people still have faith in the gods and are still afraid, she can control a party in the name of the gods.

Kou Ji stared at Tuktu Duduoyi and said, "I believe that you are the head of the Immortal Sect. I have something to ask you that you must answer truthfully. ”

Tuktu Dudoi hurriedly said: "I must know everything and say everything. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Tell me how many soldiers and horses you have, whose soldiers and horses are strong and whose soldiers and horses are weak." ”

Tuktu Duoyi hurriedly spoke, telling almost everything he knew.

The news in Tuketu Duduoyi's mouth was almost exactly the same as the news that the scouts in the army and the spies in Chen Lin's hands heard.

In other words, her news is of no value to Koji.

Kou Ji frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "When my people took Jingnan Road, Jingdong Road, and Hexi Road in Liaoguo, they didn't seize much money.

When your forces were wreaking havoc in the territory of Liao, you should have looted a lot of money.

Now, I want to know, where did you hide all that money? ”

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Tuktududoi's face.

Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, "You don't have to say ......"

Without waiting for Kou Ji to finish speaking, Tuketu Duoyi said quickly: "Most of them are hidden in Jingnan Road and Jingdong Road, and some of them are buried in the Guanyin Temple outside Shangjing City. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Where are they?" ”

Tuktu Duduoyi said with a bitter face: "That part of the Immortal Sect is buried under a mountain in Jingdong Road. I don't know where the money of the Ayan tribe is buried. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said thoughtfully: "The reason why you are in a hurry to go south is for those money, right?" ”

Tuktu Dudoi smiled wryly and nodded.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "It seems that there is a lot of money. The Wulie Department can give up all that money and continue to attack the capital, and it does have some courage. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji stared at Tuktu Duduoyi and said, "You can go down." For your deferential sake, I can spare your life. ”

Tuktu Duduoyi hurriedly thanked Kou Ji for not killing.

Kou Ji waved his hand, and Chen Lin instructed the eunuch to escort Tuktu Duduoyi out of the tent, and Chen Lin himself did not leave.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin, who was standing without saying a word, and said angrily: "The official family is so rich now, and they still want to be greedy for that money?" ”
