Under Kou Ji's reprimand, Chen Datou put away his musket and glared at Gao Di Gong on horseback viciously.

Half of the face under the mask of Gao Ji Gong has been turned purple by the gas.

From his birth to the present, for decades, no one has been so unkind to him.

Gao Gong's mood, Kou Ji has no time to take care of it.

The high place Gong can have today, and he also did it himself.

Koji would not have mercy on him.

Kou Ji stared at Gao Di Gong on horseback, frowned, and said, "You're late!" ”

Gao Zheng glared and shouted, "That's how you educated your dog's legs?" ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said unceremoniously: "They are all the people of my Great Song Dynasty, not some kind of doglegs, I hope you speak politely." Thou art no longer what thou wast what thou wast to be before me.

The official family gave me full authority to decide all major military and political affairs in the northwest, and I was the biggest in the northwest.

Even if you haven't been dismissed from office, you have to bow down to orders when you get to the northwest. ”

He trembled from a high place, but he didn't say a word, he knew that he couldn't fight Kou Ji in terms of words, power, and methods, so he didn't humiliate himself again.

Kou Ji stared at Gao Chu Gong and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you late?" ”

Gao Di gritted his teeth unwillingly, and said angrily: "If you want to hide your whereabouts along the way, you naturally have to take some detours, and it will naturally be too late." ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said, "Thinking that you are a first-time offender, I will bypass you." ”

The teeth of the high place clenched, but he did not speak.

Kou Ji glared at Gao Chugong, looked around the others again, and said coldly: "Although you are not under the jurisdiction of the Sanya and the Privy Council, and you are not directly enrolled in the military, you are still subject to military discipline.

I want you to remember that military orders are like a mountain. ”

Chen Datou and the others took the lead and said: "......"

Those teenagers and young people who had been staring at Kou Ji curiously for a long time also hurriedly learned the appearance of Chen Datou and the others, and gave up their hands in unison.

Seeing this, he arched his hand unwillingly.

After they had given up, Koji continued: "The purpose of this dispatch is to let you see the real battlefield, the role and power of muskets and artillery on the battlefield.

When necessary, you need to be personally involved in the fighting.

You are different from the soldiers in the army, they have a name, and they have merit in death.

But you don't.

Before you made contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, you were a group of people with no identity.

It could be a subordinate of my Kouji, a servant of my Koufu, or even a group of horse thieves.

It is precisely because of this that you die and there is nothing.

So I want you to keep an eye on the battlefield and don't lose your life rashly. ”

After a pause, Kou Ji spoke again in the stunned eyes of those students who were teaching martial arts: "This is my admonition to you students who are new to the battlefield as the deputy mountain chief. ”

When the students heard this, they all saluted Kou Ji's disciples.

It was the first time the students met Kou Ji, and Kou Ji gave them a lecture as the deputy mountain chief, so they were naturally able to give disciple rituals.

After waiting for the students to give a salute, Kou Ji nodded, then looked at Gao Chugong and said, "From now on, you are my staff member and assist me in handling all military affairs in the northwest." ”

Gao Zuo Gong was about to speak, but Kou Ji didn't give him a chance to speak.

After Kou Ji finished talking to Gao Chugong, he immediately looked at Chen Datou and the others, and continued: "In addition to the muskets that were issued to you before, I also brought some firearms with me on this trip, some of which you have used before and some that you have not used before.

You will take the students in a moment to familiarize themselves with the firearms.

When they get to the battlefield, I want them to be able to use firearms when they get them, rather than taking time to master them. ”

Chen Datou and the others nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji instructed the servants of the Kou Mansion to open the packages of several carriages and let Chen Datou take the students to familiarize themselves with weapons.

He himself took Gao Zuo Gong into the wing room in the post station and studied the military affairs in the northwest together.

Although Gao Zugong had a lot of dissatisfaction with Kou Ji in his heart, he did not embarrass Kou Ji in military affairs.

The two entered the wing room and spread out a more detailed map of the northwest.

According to some military information in the northwest provided by Kou Ji, Gao Zhai Gong began to help Kou Ji analyze the battle situation in the northwest.

The northwest is very large, and the battle line of the Liao people is also very long.

The Liao people have many cavalry, so they can gallop on a long front.

Although the Great Song Dynasty won Hexi, he also got a lot of horses from Hexi and distributed them to the army, but most of them were distributed to the forbidden army.

Northwest Grounds.

Especially in the northwest where the Zhe family lives, there are mostly van troops, so there are not many war horses allocated.

So there is no way to accompany the Liao people on a long front.

Kou Ji now needs to find a place that the Liao people will definitely attack on a long front, and rush over in advance to wait for work.

After carefully listening to Kou Ji's account of the northwest war situation, Gao Ji Gong drew a line on the map and said: "You sent someone to block the road for the Liao people to cross the Yellow River south from the territory of Linzhou in time, and when the Liao people saw that this road was impassable, they immediately turned to Yinzhou.

Their attack on Yinzhou was fake, but in fact they wanted to take advantage of the Wuding River in Yinzhou, cross Hengshan, approach the Dali River in Suide, and then follow the Dali River to the bank of the Yellow River and appear behind us.

When the time comes, they can take a boat down the Yellow River and go straight to Bianjing; Retreat can block our back road and join Baode's Liao army to flank us.

You should immediately give the order to dispatch the Suide army in Suide City, as well as the defenders of Longzhou, to rush to the mouth of the Wuding River through Hengshan to block the Liao.

If the Liao people don't appear, then it's okay.

If the Liao people really crossed Hengshan and appeared outside the mouth of the river, then the defenders of Longzhou and the Suide army of Suide City would be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage to give the Liao people a head-on blow.

If you plan properly, it will not be a problem to leave this Liao division in my Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he groaned: "It stands to reason that Shizhou is closer to the Wuding River than Longzhou. You did not advocate the dispatch of the nearest Shizhou soldiers and horses, but instead dispatched the Longzhou soldiers and horses in the distance, in order to prevent the Liao people's partial division from appearing in Yinzhou, and teaming up with the Liao people outside the Great Wall to attack Yinzhou on both sides?

The soldiers and horses left in Shizhou were to deal with the dilemma of the Liao people attacking Yinzhou on both sides? ”

Shizhou is adjacent to Yinzhou.

Once Yinzhou is in danger of being breached, Shizhou's soldiers and horses can quickly rush to Yinzhou to help.

Gao Di Gong heard Kou Ji's words and nodded slowly, "Yes, the soldiers and horses of Shizhou are kept to prevent the Liao people from attacking Yinzhou."

Now there is no master general in Yinzhou City, and the partial generals and captains in Yinzhou City can only defend the city and cannot move without permission.

When the Liao people arrived in Yinzhou, whether they would attack Yinzhou on both sides first, or go down the Wuding River first, none of us knew about it, so we had to make preparations with both hands. ”

Gao Zugong's words are somewhat contrary to some of his words just now.

At the beginning, he said that the Liao people would definitely go down the Wuding River, enter the Dali River, and enter the Yellow River; Later, it was said that no one could be sure that the Liao people would attack Yinzhou or go down the Wuding River.

There is a contradiction between the two statements, but there is nothing wrong with them.

If the Liao people arrive in Yinzhou and attack Yinzhou first, then after conquering Yinzhou, it is impossible to stop and will definitely go down the Wuding River.

If the Liao people arrive in Yinzhou and make a false shot, they will inevitably go straight to the Wuding River.

The end result is the same.

After listening to Gao Chugong's analysis, Kou Ji said decisively: "I have already ordered the partial generals and captains of Yinzhou to let them defend Yinzhou. At the same time, he also sent letters to the defenders of Shizhou and Longzhou, asking them to stand by.

After a while, I will give another order, so that the defenders of Longzhou will immediately move out and rush to the valley road crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan.

At the same time, the defenders of Shizhou are ready to rush to the aid of Yinzhou at any time.

In addition, I immediately sent people to Suide City to dispatch the Suide army to the north immediately. ”

Gao nodded slowly, and proposed: "You can divide a part of the artillery, and let people take it to the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan." If the Liao people appeared at the valley crossing, artillery could come in handy. ”

If the artillery is erected at the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan, once the Liao people pass through the Hengshan along the Wuding River and appear at the valley crossing, then the artillery will definitely give the Liao people a severe blow.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The previous artillery in my hand has been taken to Yanyun by Cao Wei. What is brought now is the latest production, and the number is actually not much.

Because the artillery is still defective at the moment, it is not manufactured on a large scale, but only a small part of it.

If it is sent to the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan in parts, it may not be of much effect. ”

Takachi frowned.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "So I decided to send all the artillery I brought with me on this trip to the Wuding River and the Henggu Valley crossing. ”

Gao Di Gong heard this, and his face was stunned.

There was some amazement and some lamentation in his heart.

What is surprising is that the Liao people who rushed to Yinzhou are just a partial division, and the number is limited.

The real danger is where Koji is going.

Because that place will be the place where the Liao and the Great Song soldiers and horses fought a decisive battle.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were fighting, and the danger could be imagined, and Kou Ji actually didn't leave one or two artillery pieces by his side, and Gao Di Gong was naturally surprised.

Sadly, he found that he was not as good as Koji's.

It is not unreasonable for Kou Ji to be able to flourish in the court.

It is not for nothing that he has gotten to this point.

If he had been less selfish and more public, he would not have ended up where he is today.

Kou Ji didn't know Gao Chu Gong's thoughts, and after he made a decision, he asked Gao Chu Gong: "If the Liao people are blocked at the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan Mountain, what will they do in the future?" ”

Gao Di Gong heard this, returned to his senses slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Once the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan is blocked, the Liao people will lose all opportunities to take tricks. They can only choose to fight head-on with the soldiers and horses in the northwest of our Great Song Dynasty.

If it wins, it will continue to invade the south.

If defeated, the troops will retreat and return to the court. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and continued to ask, "So where will the Liao people fight head-on with the soldiers and horses in the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Gao Ji Gong drew a circle on the map, and there was a river in the circle, which was a river that flowed from Xixia to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, crossed the Zihe River and Linzhou City, and flowed into the Yellow River, which was called Quye River.

Kou Ji stared at the map and said in a deep voice, "You mean that the Liao people will fight us head-on at the confluence of Quye River and the Yellow River?" ”

Gao Di Gong nodded slowly and said, "If you win, you will drive straight in, and if you lose, you will retreat bravely." ”

Kou Ji groaned, "Then we'll go to Quye River." ”

With a decision, Kou Ji no longer hesitated, he took a pen and wrote down a few orders and a few long letters, and sent them out separately.

After the letter was delivered, he left the wing room and instructed Lu Ming to take a part of the servants of the Kou Mansion and the students of the Jiangwutang to escort the artillery and rush to the valley crossing of the Wuding River and Hengshan.

In order to avoid accidents, Kou Jiyou sent guards to follow him and accompanied him all the way.

Seeing off Lu Ming and his entourage, Kou Ji took Gao Ji Gong and others, escorted the remaining carriages, and quickly rushed to Qu Yechuan.

It took several days to reach the confluence of the Quye River and the Yellow River.

At the confluence of the Quye River and the Yellow River, the vegetation is lush and the vegetation is abundant, and wild beasts are constantly passing through the grass and trees.

The scene was beautiful.

It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful place will soon become a battlefield.

Everything in front of you will be turned into ashes under the invasion of war.

After Kou Ji arrived at Qu Yechuan, he found that someone had arrived one step ahead of him, and this person was Wang Kai.

Wang Kai led a force of 3,000 soldiers and horses and stationed at the confluence of the Quye River and the Yellow River.

After seeing Kou Ji and his party, he immediately led someone out to greet him.

Kou Ji saw Wang Kai and was a little surprised, "Didn't you stay on the line from Jia County to Yincheng?" Why is it here? ”

Wang Kai bowed to Kou Ji, "Back to Shangguan, I feel that the Yellow River is long and narrow, and the heavy troops guarding one place are not enough to guard against the Liao." Therefore, he divided the soldiers and horses in his hand into several shares and guarded them in a place where it was easy to cross the river near Jiaxian to Yincheng.

The reason why the lowly position is here is because the lowly people found the traces of a Liao soldier scout here two days ago.

He was afraid that the Liao people would send another detachment to cross the river from this place, so he personally led his men and horses to sit here. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji glanced at Gao Di Gong beside him.

They really guessed it.

Xiao Xiaomu, the king of Yan of Liao, is indeed a person who can fight well.

Take one step, count three steps, and look at five steps.

I am afraid that the partial division he sent out had only arrived in Yinzhou, and he had already taken the lead in sending people to Qu Yechuan to explore the battlefield, preparing for the defeat of the partial division sent out.

Although it may not be able to be used, it is necessary to send people to investigate and prepare early, and you will have the opportunity early.

If you have the first opportunity, you will have a certain advantage, and you will naturally have one more point of victory.

Although Wang Kai failed to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, after sensing the enemy's tentacles, he immediately reacted, which shows that Wang Kai's sense of smell is very keen and his reaction is also very fast.

From Kou Ji's entrustment of Wang Kai to the present, Wang Kai's performance, Kou Ji is very satisfied.

So Kou Ji didn't mind complimenting Wang Kai a few words.
