Kou Ji left Danshan City, and it was late at night.
The civil servants, Qingtang soldiers, and Japanese soldiers have fallen asleep.
Liu Heng and An Ziluo did not sleep, but looked forward to it at the entrance of the camp.
After seeing Kou Ji's and his party appear dimly, they took the initiative to greet him.
"Four brothers..."
"Brother Kou Xian..."
Kou Ji jumped off his horse, walked up to the two of them, and asked with a smile: "Why haven't the two of you slept yet?"
An Ziluo smiled bitterly: "Brother Kou Xian goes to risk, how can I sleep."
Kou Ji thanked An Ziluo for his kindness, looked sideways at Liu Heng, and laughed in a low voice: "You too?"
Liu Heng rolled his eyes secretly, but said in his mouth: "Well... I am also worried about your safety."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng with a smile but was not talking.
The group entered the camp and sat down in the large tent of the Chinese army.
An Ziluo asked eagerly: "Brother Kou Xian, those horse thieves in Danshan City really want to depend on the Heavenly Dynasty?"
Kou Ji ordered the horse guard leader to prepare some hot soup, and then smiled and said to An Ziluo: "Brother An's words are wrong. The Danshan tribe is the survivor of the former Tang set up in the Western Regions, not a horse thief.
There are too few of them, so they can only survive in the Western Regions as a horse thief.
Now that I have come to the Western Regions again, the Danshan tribe has seen the hope of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, so they are waiting for me in Danshan city. "
"Former Tang survivors?"
An Ziluo murmured, but did not continue to question.
The rhetoric in Kou Ji's mouth was in the standard Song Dynasty official language.
Now that the Danshan tribe chooses to sincerely depend on the Song State, it doesn't matter whether they are the Danshan tribe or the former Tang survivors.
As long as the Danshan tribe really helped Song State to do things, Song State had countless ways to prove that Danshan tribe was a former Tang survivor.
It doesn't make much sense for An Ziluo to go to the bottom of the question to ask the true identity of Danshan.
An Ziluo had a plan in mind, so he didn't chase Kou Ji to ask about the situation of Danshan City. Instead, he said to Kou Ji with a look of worry: "Brother Kou Xian, this is a long way to Shazhou. It's just a Danshan city. That's it. Difficult to give birth, the city that I encountered later, I am afraid it is even more difficult.
It's better than Kou Xiandi stay in Danshan City for the time being.
After I led the army to the southeast border of Huangtouhuihe and contained the heavy soldiers of Huangtouhuihe, it would not be too late for you to leave. "
Kou Ji sternly said: "Brother An doesn't need to advise, I have decided."
After a pause, Kou Ji said again: "This time I led the troops through Qingtang, and was escorted by Brother An. Brother An specially led Qingtang soldiers and horses to help us attack Danshan City and remove obstacles.
Kou will never forget this one. "
Kou Ji nodded to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng hesitated and got out of the tent.
Not long after, Liu Heng appeared in the big tent holding a small box.
Kou Ji took the box and handed it to An Ziluo.
An Ziluo didn't move, but said suspiciously, "What does Kou Xian mean?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "What I promised Brother An before..."
An Ziluo was taken aback. He seemed to have thought of something, staring at the box in Kou Ji's hand with his eyes wide in astonishment, and said in a somewhat unbelievable trembled: "Really...really?"
Kou Ji stuffed the box into An Ziluo's hand and solemnly said: "The full set of heavy armor forging process, including saber, vest..."
An Ziluo took a sip of water, holding the box shiveringly.
"So... such a precious thing... brother Kou Xian so easily... easily given to me?"
Kou Ji smiled brilliantly: "The friendship between the two countries is based on sincerity. I promised Brother An that I would give this thing to Brother An, so I won’t fail to say anything. Besides, Qingtang is my Dasong’s family, and it’s the same. I am the only ally of Song Dynasty in the Western Regions.
What I want to do in the Western Regions in the future, I have to rely on Qingtang.
The mere method of forging armor is nothing. "
An Ziluo solemnly held the box and said to Kou Ji: "I will always remember Kou Xian's kindness to Qingtang. This time Kou Xian entered my Qingtang, and An did not entertain you well. When you return, An He Zanpu must have a personal gift to give."
An Ziluo's solemn proposal to present Kou Ji's private gift is certainly not light.
Kou Ji said proudly: "Brother An said and laughed, you and I met, talking about those yellow and white things are too vulgar.
An Ziluo said earnestly: "The courtesy should not be less."
Kou Ji was taken aback and laughed: "Brother An is more like a Song man than me, a Song man."
An Ziluo was stunned for a moment, and didn't think about Kou Ji's words. Kou Ji was praised by him.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "If Brother An really wants to give it away, how about giving me the horses that were captured by the horse thieves today?"
An Ziluo looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Kou Ji asked, "Brother An can't bear it?"
An Ziluo laughed and cried: "It's not that I can't bear it, but the horses that were captured today are not good horses. It seems a bit shabby to give it to Kou Xiandi."
Kou Ji laughed loudly and said: "In the eyes of Brother An, those horses are not good horses. But in my eyes, the gold and silver of those horses when they walked. Those horses are uneven, and they are naturally worthless in the Western Regions, but if they are transported back. I’m Da Song, that’s different."
An Ziluo thought about it carefully, it was really the reason.
The horse thieves rode uneven horses, mostly inferior horses.
It was more than a star and a half worse than the military horse used in the Qingtang Army.
He doesn't like it.
But the horses he didn't like were sold at a high price in Song State.
Song State lacks horses, this is a well-known thing.
An Ziluo pondered for a while and said seriously to Kou Ji: "Since Kou Xian doesn't dislike it, then I will take the lead and give the horses to Kou Xian."
Kou Ji solemnly clasped his fist to An Ziluo: "Thank you Brother An for your generosity."
An Ziluo shook his head and said seriously: "These horses are nothing compared to the gift Kou Xian gave to me in Qingtang."
After a pause, An Ziluo said with some regret: "Now that I have left the Qingtang area, I will also rush to the southeastern region of Huangtouhuihe to command the soldiers and horses in Qingtang. I can't accompany brother Kou Xian on the road behind. , I also hope that Kou Xiandi will cherish it.
Brother Kou Xian went here, and if he encountered a strong enemy, he would return to Qingtang.
My Qingtang will definitely protect my virtuous brothers and considerately. "
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said: "If I really encounter an enemy that is impossible to beat, I will definitely retreat to Qingtang."
An Ziluo reminded again: "Don't venture into it, although Huangtou Huihe is not as good as the Heavenly Dynasty, and not as good as my Qingtang, but they have been able to entrenched in the Western Regions for many years, and they have a certain degree of strength.
Although the Heavenly Dynasty had the power to conquer Huangtou Huihe, it was beyond reach.
Kou Xiandi must be cautious, and then cautious. "
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
An Ziluo put away the box Kou Ji handed him, got up and bowed his hand to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji got up and repaid.
"Farewell..."
"Take care!"
After An Ziluo handed over, he withdrew from the Chinese Army's Great Account.
As soon as An Ziluo left, Liu Heng approached Kou Ji unwillingly, and whispered: "Is the way to build a heavy cavalry so easy to give to Qingtang?"
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng, then opened his hand and said, "Otherwise?"
Liu Heng curled his lips, "You have to have some benefits, right?"
Kou Ji squinted at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng murmured: "Don't look at me like this, it's the only way you want to make money or you teach me."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Who said I didn't benefit from Qingtang?"
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji in confusion.
Kou Ji explained: "Today against the horse thieves, it was Qingtang soldiers and horses. Although those horse thieves were unbearable, there were a large number of them. In order to disperse those horse thieves, An Ziluo's Qingtang soldiers and horses were dead. Three hundred, nearly a thousand people were injured.
People have paid such a high price. If we have nothing to express, what would they think of us? "
Liu Heng groaned: "That's how it is said, but if you don't take advantage of Qingtang, there is no way for Wang Bus to replace it."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said with emotion: "It's also... The prince also made a lot of contributions in this matter."
Liu Heng nodded and said: "That's not... The prince rummaged in the library with a bunch of civil servants. After searching for seven days, he found the armor forging method of the Tielin Army.
He also dispatched eight hundred miles to expedite, and sent it to us day and night.
If there is no benefit, the prince would have to scold his mother. "
"What is there to scold my mother for being generous to others..."
Kou Ji's original intention was to forge the armor of the Static Servant Army to Qingtang.
But after he reported the matter to the court, what the court sent was the armor forging method of the Liao State Tielin Army.
To forge the armor of the Liao National Railway Lin Army and exchange favors in Qingtang, it is simply a worthless business.
Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji, and said in a low voice: "Somehow the prince took someone to find for seven days..."
Kou Ji thought about it, "Then report the horse that Anziluo gave. By the way, I told the court that the Danshanbei deliberately attached to my Song Dynasty and offered thousands of horses. Together with the horses Anziluo gave, it just made up enough. match.
Let the imperial court bestow an official title on the leader of the Danshan tribe. "
The corner of Liu Heng's mouth twitched, "Once the imperial court has given the leader of the Danshan tribe, you won't be able to look back."
Kou Ji said calmly: "I won't look back on this matter."
Seeing that Kou Ji had decided, Liu Heng stopped admonishing.
"I'm going to write the musical notes..."
Kou Ji nodded, and when Liu Heng was about to get out of the tent, Kou Ji suddenly said: "Take a rest tonight. After getting up tomorrow, continue to march."
"Understand..."
After Kou Ji sent off Liu Heng, he washed and fell asleep.
After An Ziluo returned to the tent, it was difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
He originally thought that Kou Ji would not easily give him the way to forge the armor of the heavy cavalry.
But I didn't expect it, and now I got it easily.
In order to avoid being coaxed by Kou Ji, after An Ziluo returned to the tent, he hurriedly opened the box Kou Ji gave him and watched it carefully.
After reading it.
An Ziluo gripped the forging method of the heavy cavalry armor, and sighed faintly, "Please owe you too much..."
There is nothing wrong with the forging method of the heavy cavalry armor that Kou Ji gave him.
Although Qingtang does not have heavy armor, An Ziluo has seen a lot of heavy armor.
Know the characteristics of heavy cavalry armor.
The armor forging method of the heavy cavalry that Kou Ji gave him was different from those used by Kou Ji's men, but it was very suitable for the Qingtang Cavalry.
Especially the special scimitar weapon, it was made for their Qingtang people.
More importantly, in order to facilitate Qingtang people to understand the sent drawings, there are clear Tubo annotations on them.
Such a caring move deeply touched An Ziluo's heart.
"Achar..."
An Ziluo sat in the tent and called out in a low voice. The soldier guarding the entrance of the tent appeared in the tent and beat his chest with one hand, "General?!"
An Ziluo said in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers below to free up three thousand horses and leave it to Brother Kou Xian."
Achar's eyes widened in astonishment, with a look of doubt on his face.
An Ziluo tapped the scroll in front of him with his fingers, and said quietly: "The method of making heavy cavalry is purely Tubo commentary."
Achar was taken aback for a moment, and respectfully saluted again, "Song people are generous, and I can't be stingy in Qingtang, so as not to neglect my friends."
An Ziluo nodded heavily, "I have this mindset."
Achar beat his chest again and exited the tent.
The bright moon hung down to the horizon, and a touch of white belly floated to the east.
An Ziluo packed up the things in his camp and stepped on horseback.
Rejected the proposal that the guard guarding the camping guard had notified Kou Ji, and turned on his horse.
Ten thousand Qingtang soldiers, led by An Ziluo, turned all over.
An Ziluo was the first to beat his chest with one hand to express his respect.
Ten thousand Qingtang soldiers followed and beat their chest with one hand.
"Drive..."
An Ziluo rode his horse and left the tent with Qingtang Binghaohao.
At a glance, you can see that in his team, many people are one-on-one.
As soon as the back of An Ziluo and his party disappeared, Kou Ji's figure appeared at the gate of the camp.
The Qingtang people are very heroic and decisive.
They like to leave without saying goodbye.
Probably they don't want those sluggish feelings to obliterate their ambitions.
Liu Heng didn't know when he appeared next to Kou Ji, and said excitedly to Kou Ji: "My brother-in-law left us a gift. There are three thousand high-class war horses.
Kou Ji turned around, glanced at Liu Heng, and said weirdly: "Now I know how to call the brother-in-law? Why didn't he call when he was there?"
Liu Heng was taken aback, and said dumbfounded: "He doesn't like the name eldest brother-in-law. I want to shout in front of him, and he will beat me. I can't beat him right now."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Let everyone get up and get ready to set off. Tell them that the gifts the Qingtang people gave them are private gifts and don't need to be turned in."
Qingtang soldiers and horses, far less than those civil and military ministers in Qingtang who like to calculate.
They are simple-tempered and heroic.
In the short days of getting along with civilian husbands, Japanese soldiers and guardsmen, I made many friends.
So when they left, they also left gifts to their friends.
Entrusted with a gift of friendship, it can't be measured by price, and it shouldn't be collected and handed over to the court.
Kou Ji was the master and asked the soldiers and civilians to accept the gifts and leave the gifts.
Only one gift was plundered by Kou Ji.
That was the small golden knife that An Ziluo, who admired the leader of the horse guard, which symbolized the identity of the Qingtang nobility, and gave it to the leader of the horse guard.
