After talking about business affairs, Kou Ji sent them out, staring at the soldiers, and don't let them make trouble for the sake of grabbing alcohol and meat.
About an hour passed.
The meat is simmered.
Kou Ji left the barracks and went to the camp, drinking and eating meat with the soldiers and making a fuss.
It was until the night that I was ready to go back to the city.
Before leaving.
Kou Ji told Di Qing to send someone to stare outside the camp in the past few days, and report to Kou's Mansion as soon as there is any movement.
Di Qing fully agreed.
Kou Ji left the camp, sat on the sedan chair, went to the palace first, handed over the errands, and chatted with Zhao Zhen for a while before returning to the house.
When I returned to the house.
The people in the house have fallen asleep.
Kou Ji returned to his garden without disturbing Xiang Yan who was asleep. After washing, he fell asleep quietly.
A few days later.
Kou Ji stayed in the house all the time.
However, he was always paying attention to the movement of the military camp outside the city.
On the fifth day of the fifth year, Di Qing sent someone to report that someone was sneaking outside the barracks.
On the sixth day of the sixth year, Di Qing sent someone to report that someone wanted to enter the military camp in the name of Sanya and was blocked by him.
I got these two news.
Kou Ji knew that his plan was completed.
Outside Donghuamen, Wuxun asked him to buy steel, but he refused without consideration.
The Wuxuns will certainly not remain indifferent.
Not only do they have to shave Kou Ji's face, they also have to get the steel.
To achieve these two goals, it is naturally impossible to use the usual intrigue methods used by the court.
So they only have one choice.
Fight against the tiger character army.
If the Tiger Army were devastated by their attack, it would definitely be able to shave Kou Ji's face.
In addition, they can also use the name of the Tiger Army's vulnerability to let the court take back the Tiger Army's armaments and hand it over to them.
Although most of the armaments of the Tiger Army were obtained by Kou Ji.
But after all, the money and iron of the imperial court were used.
Moreover, the Tiger Army is also the court's soldiers and horses, not Kou Ji's private army.
So as long as they attacked the Tiger Army and proposed to the court to take back the Tiger Army's armaments and hand it over to them, the court would definitely agree.
After they have obtained the armaments, they can invite the craftsmen of the mansion and the craftsmen of the world to study together how the steel for the military spares is forged.
Just give them some time to research steel.
Then they don't need to ask Kou Ji for new materials.
It can be produced by itself.
However, they didn't know that they had already fallen into Kou Ji's trap.
The reason why Kou Ji knew their thoughts was because the rich and powerful in Bianjing City did this when they encountered good things and couldn't get them directly.
Clever takeover is a common problem of the rich and powerful in Bianjing.
If they can't take it aggressively, they will surely take it by accident.
Time flies.
It's the seventh day.
Zhu Neng straddled his horse to Kou Mansion.
Entering the mansion gate, as soon as he saw Kou Ji, Zhu Neng roared: "Nephew Kou Xian, you are in trouble."
Kou Ji asked Zhu Neng to sit down in the main hall. In Zhu Neng's anxious look, he asked someone to give Zhu Neng tea.
Then holding tea, smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu's, don't scare me, what can I do?"
Zhu Neng took a sip of tea and hurriedly said, "Did you not hear the wind in Bianjing city these days?"
Kou Ji asked knowingly: "What's the wind?"
Zhu Nenggao exclaimed: "You don't know? There is a group of people in Bianjing city recently advocating the tiger army outside the city."
"Advocate?"
Kou Ji raised his brows.
Zhu Neng patted his thigh and said, "It is obvious that someone wants to attack the Tiger Army, so they brag about it. Only when the Tiger Army is raised high can they have a reason to attack.
Only when the tiger character army is raised high and the tiger character army falls, will the worst fall.
You are so smart, so obvious means, can you not see it? "
Seeing that Zhu Neng was sincere for him, Kou Ji stopped pretending, and immediately smiled: "I can naturally see those small tricks. It's just that I have confidence in the Tiger Army, so I am not afraid of them using any means."
Zhu Neng sighed and said, "Nephew Kou Xian, things in the army are by no means as simple as you think. Although your tiger army is well-trained and well-equipped, but after all, it has never experienced war, so it still counts. Don't force the army.
If you really want to be worried about, you will definitely be beaten up.
At that time, your hard work will be in vain. "
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Zhu Neng said anxiously: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Bianjing? Not many! Those who can compete with the Tiger Army, even fewer. After careful calculation, only the Dragon God 2 Guards, and the champions The four armies of Japan and Tianwu.
Not to mention the two elite troops composed of Pengri and Tianwu.
Take your Uncle Zhu and I'm in charge of the Dragon God Erwei.
Although the two guards of the Dragon God are full of dandies, there are only a few dandies in the two guards of the Dragon God, and it is impossible to flood the two guards of the Dragon God.
Therefore, there is no shortage of Liangjiazi in the two guards of Dragon God.
Your Uncle Zhu and I got together, and I got a good family from the two camps.
Now, these good family sons have been honed in my hands for two years.
Although there are still shortcomings in the battle to kill the enemy, the soldiers who have been trained for less than a year against the tiger army can be easily captured. "
Zhu Neng has revealed the foundation of the Dragon God and Second Guards.
Kou Ji felt his heart and smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu Jia, don't worry, I have confidence in my Tiger Army."
Zhu Neng stared, "Are you confident to use it as an ass?"
Zhu Neng glanced left and right subconsciously, and after confirming that there was no one else in the main hall, he leaned in front of Kou Ji and lowered his voice: "Tai Zong's Northern Expedition back then was more confident than ever, but failed more than once.
Things in the army are not something you can do with confidence. "
After speaking badly about Taizong Zhao Guangyi in a low voice, Zhu Neng straightened up again and raised his voice: "Looking at their posture, 80% of them will go to the court. The gang of civilians who are not too troubled to watch the excitement will definitely help them.
At that time, your Tiger Army will definitely be beaten by the Four Armies of the Forbidden Army in turn.
So, this thing is not something you can do with confidence. "
After a pause, Zhu Neng suggested: "If you have a way to move the Tiger Army away from Bianjing City, move away as soon as possible. As long as the Tiger Army leaves Bianjing City, they won’t even have trouble finding the Tiger Army. Maybe go to Baozhou."
Kou Ji stared at Zhu Neng and smiled: "Thank you Uncle Zhu for taking care of me. It's just that I dispatched the Tiger Army to Beijing, and I have another plan. Letting the Tiger Army fight against the Forbidden Army is one of them."
Zhu Neng was taken aback, and said unexpectedly: "The Tiger Army is facing the Forbidden Army. Did you expect it?"
Kou Ji nodded.
Zhu Neng lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then stared at Kou Ji, questioning: "Are you planning to use the hands of the imperial army to help you hone the Tiger Army?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "There are a few thoughts, but not all."
Zhu Neng glanced at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "Are you not afraid that the Tiger Army will be beaten down?"
Kou Ji grinned and said, "My tiger army is not as unbearable as Uncle Zhu Jia said."
Zhu Neng rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you have a way to let the Tiger Army defeat the Forbidden Army?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment, then hesitated: "Could you tell me, I will help you refer to it in detail?"
Kou Ji laughed and said: "Uncle Zhu Jia is willing to help me with the details, I naturally can't ask for it. I was afraid that Uncle Zhu Jia knew that I was planning the Fourth Army of the Forbidden Army and would blame me.
Now that I heard Uncle Zhu's words, I felt relieved. "
Zhu Neng laughed loudly when he heard the words, "If you have the ability to teach the second guard of the Dragon God, do not hesitate.
If the two guards of the Dragon God are defeated by your tiger army, they will definitely lose face.
You, Uncle Zhu, I can also take this to rectify and punish those dudes.
It would be even better if it could be sent out to practice. "
Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and continued: "You tell me, I have been idle in Bianjing in recent years, and my hands are itchy. If I can go out for a fight, I will lose face, it's nothing."
Zhu Neng told Kou Ji freely and sincerely.
Seeing that Zhu Neng didn't seem to be telling lies anymore, Kou Ji didn't worry that he would offend Zhu Neng for stepping on the dragon god and second guard to fight for fame.
Kou Ji didn't intend to hide it.
"Uncle Zhu's wait a moment, I will show you the weapon of my tiger army."
While talking, Kou Ji got up, went out, and instructed Kou Zhong to go to the treasury of Kou Mansion and bring a set of armor.
Armor is a set of plate armor made of steel, not only looks good, but also very strong.
When Kou Zhong took the servant and appeared in the main hall with the armor, Zhu Neng's eyes suddenly became round.
Intuition tells him that the armor that Kou Ji asked to take out is not a simple thing.
Zhu Neng hurriedly got up, threw himself in front of the armor, stroked it carefully, his eyes widened.
"It's a bit like iron, but it's a little different from iron... It looks good, but I don't know if it's practical..."
Zhu Neng grabbed the armor with both hands, refused to let go, and kept stroking, but his mouth was full of suspicion.
The appearance of plate armor is far better than the appearance of other armors.
It is also made of steel, which is naturally better.
A person who has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round, seeing it, it is difficult to refuse.
Even if it is not practical, it is good to keep it in a treasure house for appreciation.
Kou Ji smiled and asked Kou Zhong to take a sharp sword and hand it to Zhu Neng.
"It's not practical, Uncle Zhu's family will find out if you try..."
Zhu Neng had taken the long sword without ambiguity, raising his hand three times.
One hack, one sweep, one stab.
The three most common ways to fight on the battlefield.
"Dangdangdang..."
Three soft sounds.
Zhu Neng put away his long sword, his pupils shrank, and said in disbelief, "Good stuff..."
The corners of Zhu Neng's mouth slowly split open, his pupils opened slightly, and his eyes were fiercely staring at the armor, "This good thing... How expensive is it to build? How many sets for me?"
After a pause, Zhu Neng seemed to think of something, and looked at Kou Ji and said, "Is this the kind of armor Di Qing wore when he was fighting the Liao people in the palace?"
Before the night banquet in the palace, Zhu Neng, as a general guarding the imperial city, had to sit on the palace instead of in the palace.
So I didn't see it was as powerful as Steel Armor.
Some things about steel armor are also heard from others.
He didn't go along with Gao Chugong and the others, and because he had been with Kou Zhun all the time, the Wuxun group rejected him intentionally or unintentionally.
Naturally, no one told him the value of steel.
Kou Ji stared at Zhu Neng with a smile: "The price is a little higher than the price of iron, but it is several times lower than the value of iron. This is what Di Qing wore when he was fighting the Liao people in the palace."
Zhu Neng said unexpectedly: "This thing is far better than the iron, and actually has a lower value than the iron..."
Zhu Neng imagined: "If I wear this kind of armor for those people under me, that would be great."
Zhu Neng imagined for a while, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and said seriously: "First get me hundreds of sets of this thing."
Kou Ji said dumbfounded: "Uncle Zhu family, this thing is not suitable for exodus now. Besides, this thing may not be the best if it is cast into plate armor."
Zhu Neng said with bright eyes: "Is there any better?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Yes... When this thing can escape, I will definitely send it to your house as soon as possible. But you don't want to get it to Liao Country or Xixia."
Zhu Neng stared and waved his arm arrogantly, "That's impossible! I can't wait to put on them and kill the culprits, how could this thing fall into the hands of the culprits."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded and said: "Then Uncle Zhu thinks, with the benefit of this armor, can my Tiger Army fight against the Forbidden Army."
When it comes to this, Zhu Neng put away the excitement on his face.
"difficult… "
Zhu Neng said earnestly: "The benefits of the armor are certainly advantages, but the people who use the armor are always people. If a person is counseled or caught in a trap, no matter how good the armor is, it will be useless."
Zhu Neng's eyes rolled, and he said: "If the soldiers of the Tiger Army are not afraid of death, holding this kind of armor, they have a lot of power. But it is difficult to win."
Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and said, "If you really want to win, you can only win out of your mind."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Outsmarting is inevitable... But the benefit of the armor is the key to victory. After all, if the Forbidden Army sends people out to fight the Tiger Army, it must be a general who has fought on the battlefield for many years.
The wisdom of others is not weak.
So the final key lies in the benefit of the armor.
With the benefit of the armor, the gap between the soldiers of the Tiger Army and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army can be made up. "
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhu Neng was thoughtful.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Neng nodded and said, "According to what you said, there is a possibility of a tie. But winning is difficult."
Kou Ji grinned and said, "A tie is enough."
Zhu Neng was taken aback and grinned as well, "You are right, a draw is enough. One is a pawn who has been trained for less than a year, and the other is a pawn who has been fighting for many years.
Even if it was a tie, it was the tiger's victory.
Not only makes the Tiger Army famous, but also helps you gain a face.
Bingjia will also become the focus of everyone in the ruling and opposition parties. "
Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You deliberately used the tiger character army as bait. The basic plan is for this armor, right?"
