As soon as Liu Heng's voice fell, the expressions on the faces of the two school lieutenants immediately became very stiff.
One of the school lieutenants dropped his head with a guilty conscience.
Another school lieutenant raised his head and smiled and said: "The low-ranking people have been performing their duties and never dared to neglect the slightest. I don't know where the angels heard these rumors that slander the low-ranking people?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji glanced coldly at the captain who raised his head.
The school lieutenant with his head upturned in his heart.
But there is no show of timidity.
Liu Heng laughed angrily at what he said, "You really don't see the coffin without weeping..."
"Bring in..."
Liu Heng shouted outside the door.
A man from the Imperial City Division entered the room with a lean and dark man.
The two school lieutenants looked over together, and after seeing the lean and dark man, their expressions changed drastically.
Liu Heng stared at the two of them, asked the lean and dark man, and asked, "Is it them?"
The lean and dark man glanced at the two captains and immediately shouted: "Yes... it was them... they killed the villain's brother and robbed the skins collected by the villain's caravan..."
The school lieutenant who first showed his timidity was about to speak immediately.
But he was stopped by the captain who raised his head.
The school lieutenant with his head up looked at Liu Heng, and said solemnly, "Does the angel intend to use this pariah's side words to ask the lowly ranks and others? Angels have never set foot in the Western Regions. I am afraid I don't know how cunning these pariahs walking in the Western Regions are. .
They serve the people in my Song Dynasty, and they will become thieves if they leave my Song Dynasty.
Burning, killing, looting, doing no evil.
How can they believe what they say? ! "
"Ah?!"
Liu Heng sneered.
"Liu Fu?"
Liu Heng shouted again at the door.
"Humble job!"
"Come in and let them see!"
"Here!"
A man in armor and holding a blade entered the room.
The two school lieutenants stared at him for an instant.
"Liu Saburo, you?!"
The two captains knew the man in armor and blade.
He is Liu Sanlang, the flag team leader of the scout camp.
Liu Sanlang followed them out to plunder past merchants.
Liu Sanlang knew everything they had done outside Xining Prefecture.
Liu Fu bowed his hands to the two school lieutenants, and said with a smile: "Let’s get acquainted with Liu Fu, the relative officer of the Department of Detective Affairs under the Imperial City Department. I have seen two school lieutenants."
The two school lieutenants stared at Liu Fu in disbelief.
"Are you from the Imperial City Division?"
"Or a family officer?"
Liu Fu lifted the hem of his skirt, revealing a black boot.
The black boots on Liu Fu's feet are exactly the same as the black boots on Liu Heng's feet, no matter the style, shape, or pattern.
Black boots are the symbol of the imperial city.
"Puffing..."
The school lieutenant who first showed his timidity collapsed to the ground with trembling.
The school lieutenant with his head up, what else did he want to say.
But Liu Heng snorted coldly: "Drop it..."
The voice fell to the ground.
From outside the door rushed in the hands of the four imperial city divisions and escorted them out of the house.
After the two school lieutenants were detained.
Liu Fu put down the skirt and said to Liu Heng, "Shangguan..."
Liu Heng waved his hand, "No need to be restrained, just go outside and wait."
"Hey..."
Liu Fu handed over again and withdrew from the room.
Kou Ji asked Liu Heng to put the paperwork that Mu Zichuan had brought on the fire kang, and said: "The three major evils of the official call have been condemned, and the rest will be handed over to you."
Liu Heng nodded and exited the room.
Kou Ji sat on the hot kang and looked at the paperwork sent by Mu Zichuan.
The document records the changes in the situation in the Western Regions in detail, which is far more detailed than what Kou Ji has learned.
The situation in the Western Regions is far more complicated than what the court has learned.
Many forces are complicated.
The most powerful of them is not Qingtang.
It is the Kara Khanate.
The Kara Khanate starts from Kuqa in the Aksu region in the east, neighbors the Amu Darya, Penchi and Karakoram Mountains in the south, reaches the grasslands of Balkhash Lake, the Ili River Valley and the Seven River Basin in the north, and reaches the Lop Nur Desert in the southeast.
The area is very vast.
It can be called the largest power in the Western Regions.
It is also comparable to Liao.
The next is the Gaochang Uighur, the brother country of the Kara Khanate.
Gaochang borders Yizhou to the east, Yutian to the south, Gurbantungut Desert to the north, and Qiuci to the west.
In fact, Qiuci is also the territory of Gaochang Uighurs.
But Qiuci has always paid tribute to the Song Dynasty alone.
Therefore, the ministers in the Song Dynasty always regarded Qiuci as a country in the Western Regions.
The third is Qingtang.
Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo now regards himself as a Tubo Communist.
It rules a large area of land to the south of Daxue Mountain (the later Qilian Mountains) and to the north of Nibulo (the later Nepal).
In addition to the three powerful forces mentioned above, there are also many small forces scattered in the Western Regions.
For example, Shazhou Huihu, Huangtou Huihe and so on.
The Kara Khanate is strong because of the hard work of its generations of Khan kings.
Today’s ruler, Ahmad Togan Khan, inherited the belligerent style of the former rulers of the Kara Khanate. On the basis of the huge territory laid by the former Kara Khanates, he Further expansion was made.
However, when he looked around, he found that his brother Gaochang Uighur was blocking his path of expansion.
So he decisively marched the Gaochang Uighur.
Gaochang Uighurs were not weak in national power, and with the support of the Liao State behind them, they fought one after another with the Kara Khanate.
however.
Even with the support of the Liao Kingdom, the Gaochang Uighur is still not an opponent of the Kara Khanate.
The Kara Khanate once pushed the border to Kuqa in the Aksu area.
In recent years, the Gaochang Uighurs have exhausted their human, material and financial resources in order to resist the attacks and harassment of the Kara Khanate.
This is why Shazhou Uighurs turned to Gaochang Uighurs for help after they were attacked by Xixia, but Gaochang Uighurs did not respond.
Although the Kara Khanate is very tough, Kou Ji does not need to bother for the time being.
Because of the power of the Kara Khanate, it has not yet affected the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, compared to the Kara Khanate, Kou Ji paid more attention to the changes in the four forces of Xixia, Shazhou Uighur, Huangtouhuihe, and Qingtang.
Xixia attacked the Shazhou Uighur for expansion.
The momentum of Western Xia’s southward and eastward invasions was strangled by the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty and could only move westward.
The annexation of the Ganzhou Uighur and the Shazhou Uighur is inevitable.
The reason why Huangtou Huihe chose to help Xixia when he moved westward in Xixia was in Qingtang.
Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo is also an ambitious person.
He knew that Dongjin was not Da Song's opponent at all.
So he aimed his finger at Huangtou Huihe, which is adjacent to Qingtang.
Jiao Si Luo had the heart to annex Huangtou Huihe, and sent soldiers and horses to the border of Qingtang and Huangtou Huihe, and made certain tests.
Huangtou Huihe knew he was not Qingtang's opponent.
So after Qingtang made a test of Huangtouhuihe, he decisively sent people to Xixia to ask Xixia for help to contain Qingtang from the north.
Li Deming, the leader of Xixia, was overjoyed when he learned of this.
He immediately dispatched his son Li Yuanhao, led an army to attack the Ganzhou Uighurs, and made a gesture of invading Qingtang.
Seeing this, Qingtang hurriedly withdrew the soldiers and horses that were testing on the borders of Qingtang and Huangtouhuihe, and pressed them under the snowy mountains to prevent the invasion of Xixia from the south.
however.
Xixia did not choose to invade south after taking the Ganzhou Uighur.
Instead, he chose to drive the pawn of the Ganzhou Uighurs, posing a threat to Qingtang.
Then he teamed up with Huangtou Huihe and killed the Shazhou Uighur, occupying most of the Hexi Corridor.
Since then.
Xixia's mind has become very clear.
After losing the wealthy territory south of the Great Wall, Xixia wanted to develop and become stronger.
It is necessary to control the golden avenue of Hexi Corridor.
In this way, Xixia will have the qualifications to challenge the Song Dynasty and Liao.
It can be said that it was the temptation of the Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo that caused today's war situation.
What makes Kou Ji feel annoying.
The war was provoked by Jiao Si Luo, but to this day Jiao Si Luo still looks like an outsider, standing by and watching.
Let the Song Dynasty, Shazhou Huihu, Xixia, and Huangtou Huihe pinch each other in the Western Regions.
"Want to be a fisherman?"
Kou Ji dropped the last volume of papers in his hand, touched the head of Yu Sheng, who was lying on his knees and had been asleep, and muttered in a low voice.
"Who will be a fisherman?"
Li Zhaoliang's head stuck out from the door.
Kou Ji made a gesture of silence, carefully helped Yu Sheng to lie on the hot-kang, helped him cover the hot-kang, put on the boots, and wrapped the big cloak.
"Go out and say..."
Kou Ji paced in front of Li Zhaoliang and said in a low voice.
Li Zhaoliang curled his lips, "In order not to wake the little guy on the kang, you would rather go outside and get cold."
Kou Ji said calmly: "If we do well enough, he will not be tortured and disabled by others."
Li Zhaoliang sarcastically said, "You really have a bodhisattva heart."
The two paced outside the house.
Feel the cold wind blowing outside the house.
Kou Ji wrapped his cloak tightly and glanced at Li Zhaoliang, "Why can't I have a bodhisattva heart?"
Li Zhaoliang sneered: "There are more than 30 officials who died in the hands of your Bodhisattva tonight, right?"
Kou Ji said indifferently: "My bodhisattva heart is only reserved for the people."
Li Zhaoliang disdainfully said: "You civil servants are hypocritical."
Kou Ji stared, "You are not hypocritical? Do you dare to tell the officials about the disgusting things that your servants of the Li family did in Xining City? If it weren't for you black-hearted guys who squeezed them in Xining City too much Can the people live so hard
If it's not for you black-hearted guys who drink the blood of soldiers, those big soldiers need to go out and pretend to be horse thieves? "
Li Zhaoliang looked embarrassed when he heard this.
Kou Ji didn't bother to continue discussing this topic with Li Zhaoliang. He glanced at Li Zhaoliang and asked: "You ran over to find me in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"
Li Zhaoliang said dryly: "I heard from my people that you have killed more than 30 officials from Xining Prefecture. I will come over and see when you kill."
Kou Ji said calmly: "When those disgusting guys are killed, they will stop."
Li Zhaoliang hurriedly said: "Don't kill all the officials in Xining Prefecture. Once all the officials are killed, no one will help us."
Kou Ji glanced at Li Zhaoliang, "I am an imperial commissioner appointed by the official, and it is not your turn to control who I want to kill."
Li Zhaoliang said with a bitter face: "When I left Bianjing, I saw that you are very murderous. I don't want to stop you from killing. But you have to keep a few and help us do things.
The two forbidden forces of Zhenguo and Xingguo will arrive in Xining City in three days.
Nearly 100,000 people have problems eating and drinking Lazard.
We need someone to help us, mobilize the people of Xining City, and set up the Forbidden Army. "
Kou Ji frowned, "I know..."
Li Zhaoliang said solemnly: "In Xining Prefecture, the officials above Rank 7 are almost killed by you. Tell me what you know?"
Kou Ji stared at Li Zhaoliang and said coldly: "What are you yelling at me? You should yell at them! Do you know how much trouble they have caused me because of their inaction in Xining Prefecture
If it weren't for them, the soldiers and horses of my Da Song would not fall into the siege of Shazhou. "
Li Zhaoliang opened his mouth to refute.
Kou Ji continued: "Do you know that because of their inaction, I have misunderstood the situation in the Western Regions because of their inaction? In my eyes, the Western Regions are just a land of barbarians. There is no threat.
But the Western Regions I saw in my eyes were different.
Among the many forces in the Western Regions, those with ambitions are constantly expanding and provoking.
In order to annex Huangtouhuihe, Qingtang provoked the war.
In order to annex Ganzhou Uighur and Shazhou Uighur, Xixia joined the battlefield in order to control the entire Hexi Corridor.
Farther afield, a huge empire not weaker than the Liao Kingdom is advancing madly eastward.
They have reached Gaochang territory.
As long as Gaochang, Shazhou Huihu, and Huangtou Huihe are destroyed.
Qingtang, Xixia, and Kara Khanate, when the three major forces meet, they will compete for the king of the Western Regions.
Until the day when the king of the Western Regions arrives.
That's when my Great Song Dynasty wolf smokes everywhere.
By then, two wolves will stand in the northwest of my Da Song. Do you think I can stop my Da Song? "
Li Zhaoliang stared at Kou Ji in a daze, and said in disbelief: "The huge empire you said is not weaker than the Liao Kingdom is the Kara Khanate?"
Kou Ji said with a sullen face: "Not bad..."
Li Zhaoliang smiled dryly and said, "Isn't it possible? In addition to my Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom, there are other powerful countries in the world? Can a country be born in the bitter cold of the Western Regions?"
Kou Ji laughed mockingly: "Manchu dynasty civil and military are the same as you think."
Kou Ji stared at Li Zhaoliang and asked with a sneer: "Do you really think that Song Dynasty is a powerful country?"
Li Zhaoliang asked, "Isn't it?"
Kou Ji laughed at himself: "Have you seen that powerful country pay tribute to others?"
Li Zhaoliang's expression was very ugly upon hearing this.
Kou Ji continued: "It's me Da Song myself, and regard myself as a powerful country. In the eyes of other countries, I Da Song is just a piece of fat."
Kou Jichang sighed, "Looking at the world, all those who are ambitious are constantly expanding their territory and conspiring the world. Only I, Da Song, guarding my own one-acre three-point land, Yelang arrogant.
If one day, when the jackal rushes in, Da Song will know how much I deceived myself. "
Li Zhaoliang hesitated and said: "My Da Song is now peaceful in all seas, and the national strength is strong. How can the jackal rush in? Besides, among the surrounding neighbors, who has the strength to swallow my Da Song in one bite
Even if it is as strong as the Liao Kingdom, in front of my Song Dynasty, it has repeatedly run into walls. "
