Kou Ji gave Liu Heng a dumbfounded look, and said angrily: "Look back and let them go to Danshan City to find a fish swim..."
Liu Heng smiled brightly and said, "Then I will thank the fourth brother for them."
"My brother, why don't you say thank you, eat and eat, if you don't eat it, it will be cold..."
Kou Ji picked up his chopsticks and ate the meat and wine on the table.
Liu Heng was slightly stunned: "Isn't this prepared for Zhang Yuan?"
Kou Ji put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the wine, and clicked his mouth comfortably, "It was prepared for him, but does he dare to eat it?"
Liu Heng let out a laugh.
Judging from the cautiousness Zhang Yuan showed in front of Kou Ji, he really didn't dare to eat the banquet Kou Ji prepared for him.
After Liu Heng laughed, he picked up his chopsticks and ate and drank with Kou Ji.
After drinking and eating.
Kou Ji wiped his mouth, lay on his side on the thick bearskin seat, and said, "It's time to say business..."
Liu Heng sat seriously, looking directly at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji asked: "We are going to cross the border on the Qingtang road, did the Qingtang people respond?"
Liu Heng said seriously: "Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo agreed to let us cross the border, and at the same time sent An Ziluo led 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort our party. According to my spies, An Ziluo led 10,000 Qingtang troops. , I have been thirty miles away, and I expect to arrive here tomorrow evening."
Hearing this, Kou Ji sneered and said, "Escort? I think it's surveillance."
Liu Hengqian smiled and said, "There are 100,000 soldiers and horses going through Qingtang behind us, and we are walking on the road close to Zongge City. Naturally, Jiao Siluo wants to guard us one or two."
Kou Ji snorted: "He is afraid that our army will be detrimental to Qingtang once it enters Qingtang. However, he has no good intentions.
While he was defending us, he also wanted to use our strength to help him consume Huangtouhuihe's troops.
If our soldiers and horses and Huangtouhuihe and Xixia fight one and lose both.
He will definitely dispatch troops without hesitation to attack Huangtou Huihe, and then plot Xixia.
Its wolf ambition is obvious. "
Liu Heng put away the smile on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you plan to deal with the fourth brother?"
Kou Ji said coldly: "Naturally, I will take a trip to Zongge City and meet him for a while."
Liu Heng pondered for a moment and said to Kou Ji, "I will send someone to negotiate tomorrow?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
No words for a night.
The next day.
early morning.
After Liu Heng got up, he immediately sent someone to cross into Qingtang to negotiate with Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo.
Others continue to be stationed on the border line.
Kou Ji knew that An Ziluo was about to arrive, so he did not lead his troops into the territory of Qingtang without permission.
There are 100,000 soldiers and horses crossing the border behind.
Kou Ji didn't want to argue with Qingtang, so as not to affect the crossing of 100,000 soldiers and horses behind.
Kou Ji ordered the men on guards to go hunting in the mountains, preparing to prepare a sumptuous table of wine and dishes in the evening to entertain An Ziluo.
It's just that he didn't expect that An Ziluo would come earlier than Liu Heng said.
Just after Kou Ji dispatched his patrol guards out.
An Ziluo led 10,000 Qingtang soldiers and appeared on the border line.
They braved the wind and walked slowly on the snow.
After Kou Ji and Liu Heng got the news, they rushed to the border line.
An Ziluo was overjoyed when he saw Kou Ji a long distance away.
Because of the deep snow, there is no way to ride a horse.
The moment An Ziluo saw Kou Ji, he jumped off his horse, waded in the snow, and rushed to Kou Ji.
After arriving in front of Kou Ji, he laughed and gave Kou Ji a big hug.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect you to come to Qingtang..."
An Ziluo's body was full of sweat, but Kou Ji didn't dislike it, and gave An Ziluo a big hug.
The two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Hold the opponent and beat the opponent's back with your fist.
"Neither did I expect that I would come to Qingtang..."
After the hug, Kou Ji released his hand and smiled at An Ziluo.
An Ziluo stared at Kou Ji sincerely and smiled: "I said, as long as you come to Qingtang, I will treat you well."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "I believe you won't make me hungry."
An Ziluo smiled heartily: "That's definitely not... There is enough wine and meat..."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "That's good..."
An Ziluo grabbed Kou Ji and said, "Walk around, take your men and horses, and follow me into Qingtang."
Kou Ji stared at An Ziluo and said: "You should have been on the road all night, otherwise you can't be here at this time. Don't you go to rest?"
An Ziluo smiled and said, "You Song people often say that you have friends who come from afar. I am in this mood now. I am not sleepy at all. I just want to take you to taste my Qingtang cattle, sheep and milk wine."
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Then... It's better to be respectful than fate."
An Ziluo laughed and said, "Happy..."
An Ziluo's voice fell to the ground.
Liu Heng slowly stepped forward, beating his chest and saying: "Brother..."
The smile on An Ziluo's face narrowed and he glared at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng retreated behind Kou Ji, dumbfounded.
Kou Ji said playfully: "Brother An doesn't seem to want to see Liu Heng?"
An Ziluo stared: "He abducted my sister and asked my sister to be a concubine. Can I see him?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Although Lingmei is a concubine, Liu Heng regards her like a pearl, so why bother with Brother An?"
An Ziluo snorted coldly, "So he is still alive now. If he had learned from you Song people and gave away my sister at will, I would have killed him a long time ago."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded and said, "Brother An is reasonable... I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother An is quite bold."
Kou Ji vaguely remembered when he first saw An Ziluo.
An Ziluo gave him the feeling that he was a very wise, talkative, and elegant person.
Today's An Ziluo feels more like a rough and bold man.
An Ziluo heard Kou Ji's words and laughed: "All day long, leading a bunch of careless men galloping on the prairie, naturally need to be bolder. I told them those things that are so ridiculous, and they don't understand."
Kou Ji understood why An Ziluo had changed so much, and slowly nodded and said: "I'll go and tell the people below to clean up, let's enter Qingtang together."
An Ziluo nodded and said boldly: "I tell my people to help you clear the way."
Immediately.
The two left separately.
An Ziluo returned to the army and ordered the Qingtang soldiers to clear a path.
Kou Ji returned to the camp and recalled the man who patrolled the horse guard.
People put away the camp again.
Then, with a group of people, stepped on the road cleared by the Qingtang soldiers and entered the territory of Qingtang.
Qingtang soldiers cleared the way.
The Japanese soldiers came down and put on their armor again, took up swords, and guarded the food truck.
Although the Qingtang soldiers didn't have shovels, they were large enough, and they also brought some wooden shovels and the like.
So the speed of clearing snow is not slow.
Kou Ji did not generously share his shovel.
Shovel is a worthless thing in later generations, and it is easy to manufacture in batches.
But in this era, mass production is difficult, and the cost is not low.
The batch of shovels in Kou Ji's hands were also made by hundreds of craftsmen in the forging workshop day and night.
According to Qingtang people's temperament, if Kou Ji lent them the shovel in his hand, he would not be able to take it back.
They will definitely put the shovel away as a gift and put it away.
Then give the equivalent of cattle and sheep to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji is now useless to want cattle and sheep.
The shovel is his guarantee for marching in the snow, so there is no room for loss.
An Ziluo hadn't seen a shovel, otherwise he would have to ask Kou Ji for it.
An Ziluo threw the Qingtang soldiers to his lieutenant, crossed the horse to Kou Ji's side, rudely drove away Liu Heng who was by Kou Ji's side, and took Liu Heng's position.
"Brother Kou Xian, walk fifteen miles ahead, where is a small tribe living, where will we camp tonight, how about?"
An Zi Luo Zema was beside Kou Ji and said with a smile.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "When you go to the village, do everything you like, and everything depends on Brother An's arrangements."
The two people chatted again.
An Ziluo glanced back at the team escorting the grain and grass behind Kou Ji, and reminded in a deep voice: "Brother Kou Xian, you only brought such a small number of soldiers and horses, you can't get past the territory of Huangtouhuihe, let alone rush to Shazhou..."
After talking about business, An Ziluo changed his heroic image just now.
Kou Ji looked at An Ziluo and said with a smile: "So I plan to go to Zongge City before heading to Huangtouhuihe Territory to find Zamp from your ministry and borrow a soldier.
It's best to borrow Brother An. "
An Ziluo was taken aback, staring at Kou Ji and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Kou Ji said seriously: "Do you think I am joking with you?"
An Ziluo frowned, "Are you really going to borrow troops from my Qingtang?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
An Ziluo said without hesitation: "Then I can only persuade Brother Kou Xian to give up this idea and make another plan."
Kou Ji questioned: "Brother An feels that I can't borrow soldiers from Qingtang?"
An Ziluo said earnestly: "Most of my soldiers and horses in Qingtang are now in the northern border, guarding against the invasion of the remnants of the Ganzhou Uighurs, and the remaining troops are guarding the Huangtouhuihe in the west.
There are no extra soldiers and horses to lend you. "
Kou Ji glanced at the Qingtang soldiers who were clearing the snow, and said with a smile: "Brother An has ten thousand soldiers and horses in his hands?"
An Ziluo smiled bitterly: "They are all guards of the king's account, and their duty is to guard the king's account. It is impossible to be dispatched to fight."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "As long as it is a soldier, he will always be dispatched to fight."
An Ziluo pondered for a moment, and secretly guessed how true or false what Kou Ji said.
"Die Kou Xian, the war in Shazhou is a battle between Xixia and the Shazhou Uighurs, and it has nothing to do with my clan. I am afraid that Zampo of my clan will not intervene in the war in Shazhou, so it is better to plan early..."
"If you don't talk secretly in front of the Mingren, whether the war in Shazhou has anything to do with Qingtang, you and I know in your heart, why should Brother An use such words to deceive me?"
Kou Ji stared at An Ziluo and said with a smile.
An Ziluo was taken aback, then laughed a few times, and never asked the question again.
It's the customs of Qingtang that I talked to Kou Ji.
Under An Ziluo's explanation, a vivid Qingtang appeared in Kou Ji's mind.
When the group walked to noon, they arrived at the small tribe that An Ziluo had mentioned.
The tribe only has dozens of tents, more than a hundred people, and hundreds of cattle and sheep.
After An Ziluo and his party arrived, the head of the small tribe hurriedly took the most beautiful woman in the clan and rushed to An Zi Rome to give salute.
The head of the tribe is very humble.
The old man, crawling on the ground, bowed his head, and expressed his most sincere respect to An Ziluo.
An Ziluo asked the head of the tribe to offer thirty sheep to entertain Kou Ji.
The head of the tribe, not only did not refuse, but prostrated on the ground more humbly, thanking An Ziluo for not plundering all his cattle and sheep, and generously sending the most beautiful woman in the clan to An Ziluo's side.
An Ziluo handily gave the two women to Kou Ji.
The two women were very submissive and walked to Kou Ji's side.
Kou Ji smelled the smell of the two women far away.
When the two women approached him, he decisively rode his horse back a few steps.
then.
The patrol guard man guarding Kou Ji approached Kou Ji in a humble manner, and whispered: "Little master, if you don't like it, the villain will take it back and play."
Kou Ji glared, almost slapped this stuff to death.
Seeing those two women reluctantly move towards her.
Kou Ji decisively gave the two women to the two men who were not yet married.
Then something happened that made Kou Ji even more angry.
The two idiots actually told Kou Ji righteously that they could not marry those two women as wives, and they could not have mixed babies with those two women, or they would die and could not enter the ancestral grave.
In the end, Kou Ji could only give one of the women to the sorrow of the guard who first found him, and the other to the man who came to another guard.
during this process.
The head of the tribe did not show any dissatisfaction.
Only when An Ziluo gave the two women to Kou Ji, he showed a hint of disappointment.
He didn't even look at Kou Ji's gift of two women to his men.
After Kou Ji settled the two women offered by the head of the tribe.
An Ziluo has cleared a clearing with the Qingtang soldiers.
A group of people were assigned to camp and set up a camp, and a group of people were assigned to light a bonfire and roast lamb.
When soldiers slaughtered sheep in Qingtang, some civilians enthusiastically joined in to help.
The sheepskin and mutton were taken away by Qingtang soldiers.
The innards and hoofs of the sheep were taken into the arms by the helpers.
Kou Ji saw everything in his eyes, but didn't say anything.
After the lamb is grilled.
An Ziluo distributed most of the mutton to Qingtang soldiers, leaving a small amount of mutton to enjoy with Kou Ji, Liu Heng and others.
Inside a huge tent.
Kou Ji, An Ziluo, and Liu Heng sat on one side of a sheepskin blanket.
On the other side sat a few Anziluo's henchmen.
In the middle of the sheepskin blanket, there are three clean sheepskins.
Roasted lamb is placed on the lambskin.
There are also a few jugs of wine on the side.
An Ziluo picked up a knife, chopped off a leg of lamb, and placed it in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji looked at the leg of lamb, but didn't say anything.
