"No background, just an ordinary citizen..."
Liu Heng felt that Kou Ji's reaction was a bit big, so he explained it dumbfoundingly.
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said meaningfully: "You should understand what it means for me to help people in the Western Regions."
Kou Ji now holds 200,000 soldiers, and the power of life and death is in his palm. The leaders of many small countries in the Western Regions are more than a star short of Kou Ji.
Even if Kou Ji leaves the Western Regions in the future, his name will be sought after by the Western Regions for decades.
He stayed in the old department of the Western Regions and would maintain his reputation for decades.
In Kou Ji's current status, helping a flat-headed common man to prove his marriage, Liu Heng will not know how much benefit the other party will get in the future.
Liu Heng laughed bitterly when he heard Kou Ji's words, and said frankly: "Someone under me is greedy, and they have accepted a piece of dried bacon..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Heart?"
Liu Heng nodded slowly.
Kou Ji complained: "If you cause any trouble in the future, solve it yourself."
Liu Heng nodded quickly in response.
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief and said, "Go and prepare. I will go when the guy named Lin Zhicai gets married."
Liu Heng smiled heartily, "Thank you brother..."
Kou Ji waved his hand.
Liu Heng smiled and withdrew from the side hall.
After Liu Heng left, Fan Zhongyan, who had not spoken yet, smiled and said: "Someone has already settled in Shazhou. It seems that your goal, sir, has been half achieved."
Kou Ji disapproved and said: "It is too early to say this. It will take a long time for the people to take root here."
"Tell me about your side, what is the purpose of those monks?"
Kou Ji asked.
Fan Zhongyan's face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "They want to preach in Shazhou City..."
Kou Ji's face became cold, and his brow raised.
Fan Zhongyan hurriedly added another sentence, "They want to preach among the civil servants we brought."
Kou Ji sneered: "They have preached in the Western Regions for hundreds of years, squeezed the people of the Western Regions for hundreds of years, and want to squeeze the people under our rule? Tell them, it's impossible.
Let them chant in the Thousand-Buddha Cave obediently, don't think about the ones that are not.
The reason why I still keep them is not because I am afraid of them.
But the murals and scriptures in the Thousand Buddha Caves are all national treasures and need to be taken care of and guarded.
If they can make an inch, I don't mind changing a group of people. "
Fan Zhongyan understood Kou Ji's thoughts and nodded decisively, without saying more.
Kou Ji continued: "In order to prevent them from jumping the wall in a hurry, I will send another three thousand soldiers to help you."
"Thank you sir..."
"The saplings cultivated by the three of Mu Chong in the greenhouse have taken root and sprouted. After a few days, they should be able to be planted. You will need to go and open your eyes.
"Students understand..."
"..."
Kou Ji confessed to Fan Zhongyan, and did not stay with Fan Zhongyan too much. He ate some simple meals with Fan Zhongyan, and let Fan Zhongyan go down to work.
Accompanied by the guards, he strode out of Shazhou City.
He rushed out along the avenue deliberately flowed out when the civilians were reclaiming wasteland.
Along the way.
Kou Ji walked around looking at the flowers and inspected the fertile fields cultivated by the civilians.
The fertile land closest to Shazhou City was first opened up by civilians.
It has been distributed to the people in Shazhou according to Kou Ji's plan.
Some of the crops in the earliest fertile fields have already sprouted some buds.
People in twos and threes, carrying hoes, swayed through the fertile fields.
Weeds and weeds will be removed and pulled out at will if they encounter weeds or weeds.
Tired of work, he sat on the field, looking at the hundred acres of fertile fields in front of him with happiness.
Some women dressed in Shazhou Uighur costumes walked through the fields, bringing water and naan bread to the people.
The scene looks very harmonious.
After riding a horse for a few miles, I can see more fertile fields, and the working people are still in twos and threes.
Except for ten miles, you can see a large number of reclamation teams.
When the civilians who opened up wasteland saw Kou Ji and his party, they would take the initiative to stop their movements and watch Kou Ji and his party pass by them.
"Run here every day, do we have a baby here?"
"I heard that a gold mine was discovered in front..."
"Shit gold mine, I heard that it was the soldiers and horses sent to Huangtouhuihe. They had lost the battle and are retreating here. Our imperial envoy is to meet the wounded soldiers."
"You know a hammer..."
"Aren't we right?"
"Of course not. My cousin, who works in Shazhou city, knows a little bit about the imperial mission. I heard that when the imperial mission attacked the city, he captured many of the royal ladies of the Shazhou Uighurs and hid them quietly outside the city.
The imperial envoys go out every day, just to private meetings with those royal ladies. "
"real or fake?"
"of course it's true."
"Do those royal ladies? Tell us..."
"..."
The folk husbands got together in groups, speculating about Kou Ji's purpose of running outside the city.
Unrealistic rumors are flying everywhere.
There were one or two rumors that fell into Kou Ji's ears, and Kou Ji didn't hear it.
Kou Ji rushed all the way to the junction of desert and oasis in Shazhou with the men patrolling horse guards.
The patrol guards jumped off their horses, laid a sheepskin blanket on the ground, put wine and meat on the blanket, and asked Kou Ji to sit down.
After sitting down.
Kou Ji looked at the bare desert while eating meat and wine, frowning his brows.
Seeing this, the horse guard leader felt a little distressed and had a heart to admonish, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
So, he cast his gaze on the other guard guards.
Seeing this, the other guard guards stared at him one by one.
As if telling him...
Brother, if you let the brothers go out and chop someone, the brothers will not recognize the father and mother who chopped the person.
But if you let the brothers comfort others, isn't it difficult for the brothers
…
The leader of the patrol guard understood the voices of the guards through the eyes of the guards.
He glared at the guards and cursed in a low voice, "A bunch of useless things..."
The guards of the guards looked around one by one, as if they had not heard the words of the leader of the guards.
The guard leader leaned forward to Kou Ji with his scalp, and said with a dry smile: "Young master, if you are worried about the safety of your wife and son, let's go and take a look.
Anyway, many things in the Western Regions have been handled properly, and no one will say anything when you go back.
There is no need to run here all day to wait for news. The little people look at it and feel strange. "
Kou Ji put down the knife in his hand and glanced at the guard leader, "The war at Yumen Pass is not a problem? The war at Huangtouhuihe is not a problem?"
When the guard leader heard this, he said grandiosely: "What is the battle of Huangtouhuihe? The elite soldiers of Huangtouhuihe were defeated once by us. In Tarim, he was brutally attacked by the stone army in Qingtang. The lesson of the meal.
Nearly one hundred thousand people were captured by Qingtang, and now there are fewer than three to fifty thousand elite soldiers. How could they be the opponents of Zhang Yuan and General Yang
As for the battle at Yumen Pass, that’s not a problem. If you let the brothers go out, the brothers will be able to win Yumen Pass in one day, so you still have to fight with Li Yuanhao? "
Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "If Yumen Pass is as easy to fight as you said, it would not be called Xiong Pass. Li Zhaoliang led the soldiers and horses to break through Yang Pass, and the road to Suzhou and other places was opened. Up.
We don't have to die with Li Yuanhao at Yumen Pass.
After Yangguan was breached, Li Yuanhao didn't withdraw from Yumen Pass, but defended Yumen Pass instead.
This shows that Li Yuanhao has asked Xixia for help.
He stubbornly guarded this Yumen Pass, just to help Xixia's reinforcements delay time.
By the way, a nail was pierced in the Hexi, consuming the strength of our army.
When the Xixia reinforcements arrived in Hexi, he would no longer guard Yumen Pass. "
The guard leader shouted: "He is not afraid of our army besieging the city?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "There are still more than a thousand people in heavy armor, and all of them are cavalry. As long as you send heavy armor to charge and tear through the encirclement of our army, you can leave easily."
The advantage of cavalry is very prominent in the Western Regions.
The existing cavalry under Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang were all formed temporarily after arriving in the Western Regions. Compared with the cavalry under Li Yuanhao's command, the gap was very obvious.
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang wanted to use the cavalry to gallop in the Western Regions, and it would take a long, long time to settle.
However, Li Yuanhao could advance and retreat freely in the Western Regions with the mature cavalry in his hands.
The advantage of pawns is difficult to highlight in the Western Regions.
One hundred thousand forbidden forces are elite, sounding very powerful.
But sprinkled on the vast expanse of the Western Regions, it seems a little insignificant.
When the guard leader heard this, he thought about it, and said, "So General Zhu besieged Yumen Pass and did not attack. General Li led his troops east out of Yang Pass to attack Suzhou?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "That's right... Rather than wasting with Li Yuanhao at Yumen Pass, it is better to divide the troops into two groups, besieged Yumen Pass all the way, and attacked Suzhou, Ganzhou and other places all the way.
The leader of the guard guard once again asked to fight: "No matter what Li Yuanhao thinks, you should send the little people over and give Li Yuanhao a cruel one. If you hurt him, he will definitely retreat."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "It's not time yet..."
The guard leader said in a puzzled way: "When is the time then?"
Kou Ji glanced at the guard leader and said lightly: "When Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang ask for help, when Xixia reinforcements arrive in Hexi."
The leader of the patrol guard frowned and said, "Why wait until the Xixia reinforcements arrive in Hexi?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "We won't be able to catch Li Yuanhao unless the Xixia reinforcements arrive in Hexi. If I send you over now and forcefully attack Yumen Pass, Li Yuanhao will definitely lead the crowd to escape into the wilderness of Hexi.
With the three thousand of you alone, it would be difficult to find their traces from the vast expanse of the Western Regions.
If the hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers were scattered to search for him, he would only be divided into small pieces and eaten in small pieces. "
The guard leader stared in amazement, "Isn't that the horse thieves' tactics?"
Kou Ji nodded and shook his head, "It is not wrong to say that it is the tactics of the horse thieves. But to describe it more accurately, it should be called the tactics of the wolf. We don't have a large number of cavalry, so we chased Li Yuanhao in the Western Regions. Wars, fighting wars of attrition, do not have any advantage.
But when the Xixia reinforcements arrive, it will be different.
In order to cooperate with the reinforcements, Li Yuanhao would definitely jump up and down frantically around Yumenguan to nuisance our army.
At that time, we can set up an ambush in secret and invite you to enter the urn.
What we have to do now is to follow Li Yuanhao's mind and let him stay in Yumen Pass, waiting for reinforcements.
Rather than forcibly attacking Yumen Pass, driving him out of Yumen Pass, creating obstacles for our army to attack Suzhou, Ganzhou and other places. "
The leader of the patrol guard scratched his head as he listened, but Kou Ji seemed to understand what he said.
"We don't fight around Yumen, will Li Yuanhao see our thoughts?"
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "At this point in the war, the situation is already very clear. We can see through Li Yuanhao's mind, and Li Yuanhao can naturally see through our mind.
After all, it's just using each other.
Li Yuanhao knows his own advantages, so he has no fear.
We also know our strengths, so we hide them without leaking them.
When it comes to the real decisive battle, it is the time to open the hole cards and compete for advantages.
If we can't stop the Xixia reinforcements' attack and Li Yuanhao's chaos in Yumen Pass, then the Suzhou, Ganzhou and other places we have taken must be returned.
If we stop the Xixia reinforcements and prevent Li Yuanhao from causing chaos at Yumen Pass, then the entire Hexi will become the territory of my Da Song. "
The guard leader nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Ji pursed his mouth, but didn't pour out all the words in his stomach.
In fact, he guessed Li Yuanhao's purpose when he learned that Li Yuanhao was sticking to Yumen Pass.
Li Yuanhao stuck at Yumen Pass, waiting for the opportunity to wait for the Song Bingma to be restrained by the Xixia reinforcements, and give the Song Bingma a ruthless one from behind.
For example, they made surprise attacks on Guazhou and Shazhou, destroying all the grain and grass delivered by the Song Dynasty to the Western Regions.
As long as all the grain and grass of the Song Dynasty in the Western Regions are destroyed, the situation of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will return to the original state.
Compared to the previous dilemma, this time the dilemma will become even greater.
Because the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have scattered to Hexi, they have not gathered together, so it is difficult to restrain them.
At that time, as long as Xixia attacked briefly, the soldiers and horses of Song Dynasty would most likely abandon the city and flee, or surrender to Xixia.
Li Yuanhao's conspiracy is very simple, and there are many ways to thwart Li Yuanhao's conspiracy.
For example, ordering Li Zhaoliang to stay at Yangguan and not step into Suzhou for half a step.
In this way, even if Xixia reinforcements arrived, Li Yuanhao could not give Da Song a cruel under the heavy resistance of Da Song.
For another example, slowly advancing and taking Yumen Pass, forcing Li Yuanhao to become a lone wolf on the grassland. On the basis of sacrificing some soldiers, he captured Hexi little by little and forced Li Yuanhao out of Hexi.
However, the price paid for doing so is a bit too great.
Kou Ji didn't have enough Invincible Landmine Cannons in his hand, nor could he bury the entire Hexi with the Invincible Landmine Cannons, so he couldn't stop Li Yuanhao from biting the forbidden soldiers on the march like a wolf biting a flock.
