"Since Li Yuanhao has escaped, there are only soldiers and horses led by Yeli Wangrong left in Xiliang City?"
Kou Ji asked questions.
Zhu Neng replied: "Not only the soldiers and horses led by Ye Li Wangrong, but also the captives of the Ganzhou Uighur who Li Yuanhao defeated."
Kou Ji's expression moved, and he asked thoughtfully: "The money, cattle, sheep, and horses that Li Yuanhao seized in Hexi are also in Xiliang City?"
Zhu Neng didn't say anything. Instead, he kept paying attention to Li Di who was captured in Hexi, and smiled: "Many cattle and sheep have been used as military rations by Li Yuanhao and Ye Li Wangrong, but there are a lot of horses and money left."
Hearing the words, Kou Ji glanced at Jiao Si Luo subconsciously.
Now that the Great Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers and Ma Huibing, it is easy to take down Xiliang City.
Jiao Si Luo hasn't left yet, fearing it was an idea to divide the spoils.
Now, it is impossible for Kou Ji to drive them away.
After all, they are reinforcements.
Use others when it makes no sense to contribute, and drive them away when sharing the benefits.
If you really did that, it would be difficult for the soldiers from Qingtang to come out to help Da Song in the future.
Kou Ji analyzed clearly the intention of Jiao Si Luo, and deliberately fudged Qingtang soldiers and horses to continue their death.
Kou Ji pretended to ponder: "So how do you plan to attack the city?"
As soon as these words came out, the Chinese army fell into a strange silence in the Great Tent.
Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and Chong Shiheng looked at Jiao Si Luo together.
Li Di also smiled and looked at Jiao Si Luo.
Their thoughts are roughly the same as Kou Ji.
If Jiao Si Luo wants to share the benefits from Xiliang City, his soldiers and horses must be deadly.
At the very least, you have to gnaw hard bones.
Seeing this, Jiao Si Luo sighed in his heart, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "If the stone army is here, my soldiers and horses in Qingtang can be the vanguard. But now the stone army is in Huangtou back to the war, the lord The soldiers and horses that I brought were a bit unsatisfactory, and if you were the vanguard, you might have missed major events.
Jiao Si Luo played Tai Chi and passed the decision to Kou Ji and others.
If Kou Ji and others insisted on letting Qingtang soldiers and horses be the vanguard, then the damage that Qingtang soldiers and horses suffered during the siege would have to be compensated with profits.
Into the city.
Qingtang soldiers and horses will undoubtedly want to eat the richest piece of profit.
If Kou Ji and others did not allow Qingtang soldiers and horses to be the vanguard, it would belong to the interests of Qingtang soldiers and horses, and it would be indispensable.
Although it may eat less, Qingtang soldiers and horses will not suffer damage.
It is impossible for Qingtang soldiers to contribute their power.
The thoughts of Jiao Si Luo were naturally understood by Kou Ji and the others.
Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Zhong Shiheng, and Li Di looked at Kou Ji to see how Kou Ji prepared to respond.
Kou Ji thought about it and said with a smile: "I have an immature idea, please discuss it with you."
Kou Ji’s voice fell to the ground. Seeing that no one objected, he continued: “The city has four gates. We have four soldiers and horses here. Each soldier and horse is responsible for attacking one gate. The one who takes the lead in the gate can enjoy 30% Seized, and then the two soldiers and horses that took down the city gate, each enjoyed 25% of the seizure. In the end, the soldiers and horses who took the city gate can only enjoy 20% of the seizure.
Zhong Shiheng smiled and said, "Then I will lead my army to attack the East City Gate, and the soldiers and horses I brought just so far guard the East City Gate."
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang were taken aback first.
Then immediately took the call.
Zhu Nenglang said: "Give me the Xicheng Gate!"
Li Zhaoliang sighed, "Then I will be responsible for attacking the North Gate."
Jiao Si Luo looked at Kou Ji and the others in a daze.
Is this a discussion
Is this a discussion
You have already decided before discussing it.
The most important thing is that you all grabbed the three best gates, leaving me with the hardest Simon
Obviously, it's relying on more people to bully fewer people!
If it's not already this point, do you believe it or not I lifted the table
Jiao Si Luo sighed very helplessly, and said, "Give me Qingtang soldiers and horses at the gate of Naxi City."
Although he did not grab the easiest gate, Qingtang must take the lead in taking the west gate.
The reason is that 10% or half of the seizures were made.
Li Yuanhao almost transported all the money collected by the Ganzhou Uighurs, as well as the money grabbed from Guazhou and other places, to Xiliang City.
Although the money in Xiliang City is not as good as the hidden gold of the Shazhou Uighurs, the amount is also quite large.
10%.
There are millions of consistent values, less to say.
It's okay to spend a little effort for the millions of dollars of money.
Kou Ji stood up and said loudly: "Then it is settled. The specific combat strategy will be discussed by the four of you. You will win Xiliang City within three days. I will celebrate your achievements in Xiliang City."
Jiao Siluo followed and stood up and said, "Three days, too long. Our nearly 200,000 men and horses are hoarding here, and every day we spend it, we will spend a lot of money and food.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, we will attack the city today.
Take down Xiliang City in one fell swoop. "
Zhu Neng's expression was a bit bitter when he heard this.
Most of his soldiers and horses had been with Kou Ji for a few days.
Kou Ji rushed over from Ganzhou with them in the starry night. Now he is in a time of sleepiness, and it is extremely disadvantageous for him to attack the city now.
Zhu Neng spoke intentionally, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.
What Jiao Si Luo said is right, the night is long and dreamy.
Wait one more day, there will be one more day of change.
More importantly, among the nearly 200,000 horses, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty occupies a huge number.
The daily consumption of money and food is a huge number.
Kou Ji saw the bitterness on Zhu Neng’s face and smiled and said to the others: “The soldiers and horses under General Zhu just arrived, and they are still in a trap. In order to show fairness, I will take the three thousand soldiers from Yuanshan Department. Ma, lend it to General Zhu for the time being, do you have any objections?"
Zhong Shiheng and Li Zhaoliang shook their heads decisively.
As for Jiao Si Luo, who cares what he thinks
What Kou Ji lent to Zhu Neng was not Qingtang's soldier.
Seeing this, Kou Ji slowly nodded and said: "Then it's settled... The four are here to discuss battle strategies, I won't bother for now."
Kou Ji arched his hands and left the Chinese army's big tent.
Li Di followed out of the Chinese Army's big account.
Four people, Jiao Si Luo, Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and Chong Shiheng were left to discuss the battle strategy in the Chinese army's large account.
Li Di ran to catch up with Kou Ji, and shouted complainingly: "Kou boy, what are you doing so fast, don't wait for the old man."
Kou Ji took a meal and said to Li Di: "I am going to go back to my tent, and think about it, to see if I can take advantage of the trend and lead 200,000 troops to attack Xixia and remove Xixia from the map."
Li Di stared in amazement, "Are you crazy?!"
Kou Ji said with a sullen face: "I'm not crazy, it was Li Yuanhao's guy who did too much."
Li Di hurriedly said: "The old man also heard a little about what Li Yuanhao did in Suzhou. The old man knows that you hate other people's slaughter of my people in Song Dynasty.
However, you cannot be arrogant.
You have to think about it for me.
For this war in the Western Regions, the court emptied the money in the treasury.
Not only that, the Changping warehouses to the west and north of Bianjing City were also emptied.
Although we have seized a lot of money in Shazhou, the money will not be sent to me for a while, and it will not be replaced with food.
The fertile fields that you opened up in Shazhou have just been planted now, and when it comes to harvest, I am afraid it will be autumn.
Without enough food, how do you let my soldiers of Da Song fight fiercely with Xixia soldiers? "
Li Di saw that Kou Ji did not speak to retort, and continued: "We have just taken Hexi, the people in the land of Hexi have been slaughtered by Li Yuanhao. We have to digest Hexi, and it will take some days.
Greedy is a good thing, and the old man also likes to see you greedy.
But if we eat too much, we will die.
If you want to fight Xixia, I will not stop, and even write to the official to support your strategy to attack Xixia.
But can we wait until we digest Hexi and wait for our treasury to have a surplus
At that time, you can do whatever you want. "
Li Di paused, and solemnly said: "The old man knows that your kid is ambitious, and he is not reconciled to see the weak situation of my Da Song. The old man is not reconciled to see my Da Song being oppressed by his neighbors.
We need time now and time to accumulate tossing capital.
When you have enough capital, let alone fight Xixia, even if you fight Liao, the old man will unconditionally support. "
Kou Ji sighed inwardly after hearing Li Di's words.
Li Di is telling the truth.
The imperial court paid a lot of money for the dispatch of troops to the Western Regions.
After Kou Ji and his entourage arrived in the Western Regions, they basically did not worry about their luggage.
It seems to be a very common thing, but it is not common at all.
In this era of using culture to suppress military force, with the exception of some high-ranking generals and commanders, most generals and military ministers will always encounter various difficulties when leading their troops to attack.
Among them, the baggage is one item.
Often they re-emerged out of Bianjing, and when they were delivered to the soldiers, they would shrink by nearly half.
There will be countless people in the middle reaching out to take advantage of it.
This is not a shocking thing, but a very ordinary thing.
Kou Ji vaguely remembered that in the middle and late Ming dynasties, civil servants did not even cover up when they were paying for the army and paying for their expenses, and they took advantage of it in an open manner.
Nearly one million liang of military pay was approved, and the leaders of the DPRK and China divided him hundreds of thousands of liang.
And then distributed to those soldiers.
After the soldiers received the military salary, they would have to donate more than 100,000 taels, or tens of thousands taels, to the leaders of the DPRK if they wanted to obtain the next batch of military payments.
It can be said that after the military payment was approved, nearly 90% of them were eaten by the leaders of the DPRK and China.
Although the Song Dynasty was not as serious as the Ming Dynasty, it was also normal to extend its hands on military expenses and luggage.
This time Kojji went west, this kind of normality did not happen to him.
All the necessary supplies for Kou Ji will be distributed by the court.
Even if there is an error in the middle, the court will make it up as soon as possible.
In order to avoid the lack of food and clothing for Kou Ji and his party in the Western Regions, the imperial court not only spent money, but also spent a lot of time.
When Kou Ji left Bianjing, the treasury would be able to run mice in empty space. It has been almost four months since Kou Ji left Bianjing. During these four months, the imperial court sent all the luggage from various places in Changping. Pulled out of the warehouse.
Maybe I borrowed some from Yizijiaozipu.
80% of the imperial court is now in debt to support them in the war.
Kou Ji's seizures were quite a lot, but he filled his debts, rewarded the soldiers, filled the emptied Changli positions, and left some money to run Hexi. In the end, there was not much left.
Da Song is not a big man after all, and there is no way to fight all over the country.
When the soldiers of the Han Dynasty set off, the court only needed to support rice and grain.
When the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty marched, the court not only had to pay for rice, but also had to pay for a large number of sophisticated armaments, as well as a huge amount of military pay.
After the civil servants have passed the corvee period, they have to give some corresponding money as compensation.
It can be said that in the same battle, Da Song spent several times that of Da Han.
Kou Ji's idea of fighting to support war was still a bit worse after all.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are not like the Mongolian soldiers and horses. They can survive only by relying on horse milk and beef and mutton.
If you didn't eat rice noodles for a few days, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty seemed to have been hollowed out, lacking energy.
This is not Kou Ji's thinking, but the fact.
A northerner who is accustomed to eating noodles goes to the south, and it takes a long time to adapt to the rice-eating life in the south.
The reverse is also true.
Ancient times are not like later generations.
Later generations have developed information, developed transportation, and developed commerce.
Northerners can also often eat rice.
Southerners can also eat all kinds of pasta in the south.
In ancient times, information was difficult, transportation was inconvenient, and commercial development was also a little bit.
Eating habits vary greatly.
People who are accustomed to eating noodles will not be full of rice at all, and it is even difficult for some people to get used to eating rice for a lifetime.
The reverse is also true.
Kou Ji smiled at Li Di and said: "I just said casually, you always take it seriously?"
Li Di twitched the corner of his mouth bluntly, as he believed Kou Ji's nonsense.
Others are joking about this, Li Dixin.
Koji was joking about this, and Li Di didn't believe it at all.
Li Di was sure that if he didn't stop speaking out, Kou Ji might really find a way to go to Xixia.
After all, Kou Ji has a criminal record.
The initial idea of the imperial court was to help the Uighurs in Shazhou.
But what about after Kou Ji leads the army
The Shazhou Uighur, an ally of the imperial court, is gone.
Originally, it only took a month or two to fight the war, but Kou Ji was tossed for four months abruptly.
The imperial court added a piece of Hexi territory.
One more ally is about to rise in the Western Regions.
Yuanshanbe.
Kou Ji smiled and asked Li Di as he walked into the tent, "You said, what I did in Shazhou should have been reported back to the court? Why hasn't the court reprimanded my paperwork yet?"
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji and snorted without speaking.
You killed a politician in the Western Regions. Of course, the court will reprimand you.
Not only will you have to reprimand you, but you will also send a heavy minister to the Western Regions and confiscated the power of your appointment.
However, when that guy arrives, does he really dare to scold you
Really dare to take out the edict that rebukes you
You opened up the frontiers of the Western Regions and took the entire Hexi, which is enough to shock the government and the public, and the world.
