Chapter 226: Li Zhaoliang, greedy for meritorious service?

Views:

When Kou Zhun heard Liu E's words, his heart beat wildly.

Ge Huaimin, who was following Kou Zhun, almost screamed when he heard this.

Kou Zhun heard something wrong in Liu E's words. He gritted his teeth and forced Liu E, "Where are the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang?"

Liu E kept silent.

Kou Zhun and Ge Huaimin had bad feelings in their hearts.

Kou Zhungang is ready to continue asking questions.

Just listen to Liu E speak: "If Zhe Weizhong and Chong Shiheng can't resist the Xixia soldiers and horses, the court can send two soldiers and horses to support."

Kou Zhun wanted to chase after Liu E to dig into the roots, but Ge Huaimin said anxiously: "If the court wants to send two soldiers and horses, it needs to be as soon as possible. The ministers are afraid that they will be late. State River."

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth, stared at Liu E, and asked, "Is the queen mother still reluctant to tell Li Zhaoliang whereabouts?"

Liu E glanced at Kou Zhun and said indifferently: "As the saying goes, you will be outside, and the military orders are not subject to it. They left Bianjing, and it is impossible for Aijia to know what they are doing.

Even Lai’s family doesn’t know where they are, how can I tell you? "

Liu E was obviously lying, but Kou Zhun also took into account the lives of the two of Zhezhong, and did not investigate the matter with Liu E.

Immediately, he ordered someone to ring the bell in the imperial city, summon a hundred officials, and discuss the matter.

In the final resolution, with the general of the guard at the right guard at a high level, led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, rushed to the Lingzhou River to help Zhezhong.

In order to ensure foolproof.

Kou Zhun wrote Li Di as the supervising army, and accompanied Gao Chugong on the expedition.

With the high place, Gong led troops out.

The people in Bianjing, who had been busy for several months, seemed to have been splashed with cold water on the heat. They began to become lukewarm, and even gradually extinguished.

People are always more receptive to great joy, but unwilling to accept great compassion.

In this heavy tragedy, alcoholics naturally increased.

Kou Zhun had not yet returned to the mansion, but Wang Zeng, who was so drunk and drunk, staggered into the Kou Mansion.

Kou Zhong was assaulting Zhang Yuan in an unremarkable room. He heard a report from the door saying that Wang Zeng was drunk and broke into the mansion. He hurriedly dropped Zhang Yuan and went to see Wang Zeng.

When Kou Zhong saw Wang Zeng, Wang Zeng was pacing in the side hall of the Kou Mansion, and he whispered and cursed.

Kou Zhong walked to the door of the Pian Ting, and was shocked when he heard a sentence or two. He hurriedly blocked the door of Pian Ting, and hurriedly went to the courtyard where the craftsman was to look for Kou Ji.

Since Kou Ji learned that Li Yuanhao had defeated Yelu Longxu in Dingzhou, he plunged into the courtyard where the craftsman of the mansion was, and never came out.

When Kou Zhong saw Kou Ji, Kou Ji was sitting on the ground, staring at a pile of round iron blocks in a daze.

He made three steps and two steps, leaning forward, and shouting anxiously: "Little Master, it's terrible."

Kou Ji was thinking about the problem, and was suddenly disturbed. He was a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "It's nothing important, don't bother me."

After Kou Ji entered the yard where the craftsmen were and put on the aprons that the craftsmen used to strike iron, he became different from the past.

In the past, Kou Ji, even though he was not gentle and elegant, was also a person with little temper.

But after entering the courtyard where the craftsman was, Kou Ji seemed to have become an indisputable and undisturbed existence, similar to a king and an authority.

There is a little more power and a little more domineering.

Kou Zhong didn't care about Kou Ji's mood now. He still roared anxiously: "Wang Zeng is here, he is drunk, and what he says is all rebellious things.

Every word is terrible.

The old servant dared not stop him, so he was temporarily left in the side hall.

Go and take a look. "

When Kou Ji heard this, his frowned brows relaxed a lot.

He dropped the iron block in his hand, uncovered his apron, covered the side of the drilling tool, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go and see..."

Kou Ji didn't change his clothes either, and walked into the side hall in the clothes covered with iron foam.

"Liu E! You temptress!"

As soon as I entered the side hall, I heard Wang Zeng cursing drunkly.

Hearing this, Kou Ji frowned and ordered Kou Zhong behind him, "Seal..."

Kou Zhong nodded quickly.

In fact, even if Kou Ji didn't order, Kou Zhong would make the servants in the mansion who heard the nonsense of Wang Zeng shut up.

Kou Ji entered the side hall, greeted Wang Zeng who was staggering, and whispered: "Uncle Shi, you have been drinking too much. My nephew will help you down to rest."

"Drink too much?"

Wang Zeng sneered, "I drink too much? Why do I still remember the things in the court when I drink too much? I still remember the things in the court, which means I haven't drunk too much, and I haven't drunk enough."

Wang Zeng's words are like tongue twisters, and others may be puzzled.

But Kou Ji could hear what he meant.

Since Ge Huaimin came to Beijing for help, the movement of the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang has become a matter of continuous concern for the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty.

But today, ten days have passed.

Liu E still gritted his teeth without letting go.

So far, no one knows where the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang have gone except Liu E and Cao.

However, the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang played a vital role in the battlefield of the Song Dynasty against Xixia.

I don't know the movements of the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang, and the battles of the Song Dynasty with Xixia's troops, there will be variables at any time.

Li Deming defeated Yelu Longxu. Although the Liao army did not withdraw from Xixia and was still entangled with Xixia's soldiers and horses, the two sides did not fight another large-scale war.

Although the small-scale frictions continue, it is obvious that the two sides are testing each other.

After the two sides have tentatively figured out the details of each other, they will choose to continue the war or negotiate peace.

This cycle will not be too long.

If the two sides decide to continue fighting again, then Da Song still has time to continue entanglement.

But once the two parties negotiated.

Then Li Deming, the king of Xixia who had just defeated the Liao people, would pounce on the Song Dynasty in the most ferocious way.

At that time, even if Song Da Song could stop Li Deming's counterattack, it would also hurt his muscles and bones.

Even the territories of Xixia that have just been captured will be taken back.

Maybe Da Song will lose one or two states because of this.

The Manchu civil and military saw this, so they frequently asked Liu E and the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang.

But Liu E refused to say a word.

The military power is in Liu E's hands, and Liu E wants to do her own way, she can't do anything about anyone.

Wang Zeng hated himself for being powerless in this matter, so he used wine to dispel his sorrows.

Kou Ji helped Wang Zeng out of the side hall and rested in a wing of the mansion.

He was by Wang Zeng's side, listening to Wang Zeng scolding Liu E, and when Wang Zeng was tired of scolding and fell asleep, he left the wing.

He found Kou Zhong who was telling the servants to shut up, and asked, "My grandfather hasn't come back from the palace yet?"

Kou Zhong shook his head.

Kou Ji returned to the yard, changed his clothes, and left the gate.

He went around to a pharmacy.

He didn't plan to come to this place originally.

But now in order to understand the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang as soon as possible, he has to come.

Entered the pharmacy and showed his card.

The pharmacy guy took Kou Ji to the backyard of the pharmacy and saw the gray-haired old man.

"Boy... you're here again..."

The old man was talking in his sharp voice, his eyes full of joking watching Kou Ji.

Kou Ji stared at him without unnecessary nonsense, and asked straightforwardly: "Where did the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang go?"

The old man smashed the medicine while laughing in a low voice: "Our family guessed you will come."

Kou Ji frowned and said, "I didn't come here to tell you about the past."

The old man dropped the potion hammer and stared at Kou Ji with a smile but a smile: "How can our family know the news that the civil and military do not know?"

Kou Ji said coldly: "Don't tell me to understand and pretend to be confused. I remind Chen Lin to send someone to stare at Yelu Longxu's movements. Although he has not given me any news. But I am sure that yours must be in Xixia. Li Zhaoliang You must also know the movements of the 150,000 soldiers and horses under his leadership.

tell me! "

The old man stared at Kou Ji, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said faintly: "This is a business, you always have to have contacts. Our family tells you the news we know, and you can give it to us. Home what?"

Kou Ji raised his brows, "What do you want?"

The old man looked away from Kou Ji, fell on the courtyard wall not far from Kou Ji, and said quietly: "The old man wants him!"

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "You want a dumb tiger? It seems that your people have lost a lot in Xixia, otherwise you won't be thinking about dumb tiger."

The old man withdrew his gaze, fell on Kou Ji, and coldly reminded: "We don't need you to take care of our affairs, and you are not qualified to take care of it."

Kou Ji stared at him, questioning: "It seems that you are not selling news less, otherwise you will not be able to take the opportunity to blackmail people."

"Humph!"

The old man snorted and did not speak.

Kou Ji disdainfully said: "But why should I be blackmailed by you? I asked Li Zhaoliang where he was going, also for the sake of your master and to protect your master's country and society.

Since you regard the safety of your master's country and community as a business.

So what do I care about

Even if the Xixia people defeated the Zhezong family, even if the Xixia people came to Lin Bianjing, what to do with me. "

Kou Ji dropped this sentence and walked away.

If they want to take the opportunity to beat his autumn wind, these people probably made the wrong calculation.

Seeing that Kou Ji saw through his mind, the old man gritted his teeth and whispered: "Xiazhou... Wanjingkou... Baichicheng..."

When Kou Ji heard these three place names, he took a meal, turned around, and stared at the old man coldly and said, "You know a little bit. Don't hit me with your abacus in the future. My person is me. People, I do not speak, no one can take it away.

Others are afraid of you, I am not afraid of you, I am alone, will I be afraid of you group of ghosts who can't make it to the stage? "

The old man's face changed, and he said coldly: "Ghosts can eat people."

Kou Ji sneered and said, "That will have to wait for you to grow a good set of teeth."

Abandoning these words, Kou Ji stopped paying attention to the old man, and left the pharmacy with his sleeves.

The old man stared at the back of Kou Ji's departure with a gloomy expression.

I don't know what to think about.

Kou Ji returned to the mansion, spread out the map of Xixia, searched carefully on the map, and found three places in the old man's mouth.

"Xiazhou... Wanjingkou... Baichi City..."

"This is going to go along the Great Wall to the back of Lingzhou. I want to go with the soldiers and horses of the two families, and make a front and back attack in Lingzhou, take Lingzhou in one fell swoop, and completely drive Xixia people out of the Great Wall.

"The idea is good, and the layout is good. If this is done, it will be a great achievement. No wonder Liu E will keep silent. She is holding back the bad. Now the Manchu civil and military impeachment her impeachment is so ruthless, wait until Lingzhou After being taken down, how ruthless her counterattack will be."

"..."

Kou Ji figured out the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang, and after calculating Li Zhaoliang's goals, he relaxed a lot.

He was really afraid that Liu E, Ding Wei, and Cao would use these three people to show any moths at this juncture.

If Liu E, Ding Wei, and Cao used the three of them to see the Great Song soldiers and horses frequently profiting in Xixia, and then swelled their confidence to regain the Yanyun Sixteen States, and then went to war with the Liao people, it would be great fun.

Fortunately, these three guys are not so stupid, know how much appetite they have, how much food they eat, and are not greedy.

After understanding Liu E's purpose, Kou Ji wrote a letter asking Kou Zhong to send someone into the palace to give Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun never came out since he accompanied Ge Huaimin into the palace.

He kept asking Liu E and Li Zhaoliang's whereabouts.

Liu E refused to say that he refused to leave the palace, and now he is deadlocked.

Kou Ji sent his guess to the palace, also to make Kou Zhun feel at ease.

Facts have proved that although Kou Zhun, the great steward of the Song Dynasty, was a bit more domineering, he had done his best to the Song Dynasty.

Knowing Liu E's purpose, Kou Ji didn't bother to go to the courtyard where the craftsman of the mansion was located and continue to suffer.

however.

He did not go to the courtyard where the craftsmen were, but the craftsmen found the door.

They dragged Kou Ji to death and wanted Kou Ji to take them with them and finish the few things Kou Ji had designed.

Kou Ji couldn't help the artisans, so he could only accompany them and continue tossing around in the mansion's workshop.

One toss is seven or eight days.

The night after seven or eight days.

A remnant rider, guarding the gray-headed Ding Wei, broke into the city of Bianjing.

The originally quiet city of Bianjing, as Ding Wei and his party appeared, it boiled.

When Ding Wei appeared in the Bianjing city, the bell in the palace was rang, and the Manchu civil and military stepped on the moonlight and appeared in the Chugong Hall.

Hanging on the arch hall.

The unkempt Ding Wei wailed loudly, "Official family, Niang Niang, something big happened! Li Zhaoliang's squad, greedy for meritorious service, he led the troops privately, wanted to raid Huaizhou, and wanted to use Huaizhou as the foundation to win Xingzhou in Xixia , Jingzhou, Shunzhou, and Lingzhou, eradicated Xixia in one fell swoop.

But as soon as the soldiers and horses led by him arrived under Huaizhou City, they ran into the Liao army that was going to attack Huaizhou City.

The two sides fought a battle outside Huaizhou City.

Li Zhaoliang's servant was slashed before the horse by the Liao people. The 150,000 army was killed and arrested by the Liao people, and they were all gone.

Under the escort of two thousand fine horses, Chen barely escaped from Huaizhou. "

Manchumen and martial artists, when they heard this, their expressions were stunned.

One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang did a battle with the Liao people on the territory of the Xixia people

150,000 soldiers and horses, gone

Li Zhaoliang was also killed

No matter how the Manchu civil and martial arts listened, they felt that they were listening to heavenly scriptures.

However, this is what Ding Wei said from the supervising army, and they will not believe it.

When Cao Wei heard this, he stared out and shouted: "Li Zhaoliang is a generalist, who has been fighting for many years and has been very well-behaved. How can he be greedy for meritorious work? How can he fight with the Liao people on the territory of Xixia

You are obviously nonsense! "

When those martial artists heard Cao Wei's words, they questioned Ding Wei.
