"Xixia's account will be calculated later. What we have to do now is to discuss who will go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places to preside over the overall situation."
Seeing that Kou Ji was already thinking about Xixia, Kou Zhun reminded Kou Ji of the most important thing right now.
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
Kou Zhun continued: "The official sent Chen Lin to invite our grandparents and grandchildren into the palace to discuss the matter together."
Zhao Zhen sent someone to ask Kou to enter the palace, indicating that the matter was very serious, and naturally one should not neglect.
Kou Ji glanced down at the dirty clothes on his body and smiled bitterly: "Grandfather followed Chen Lin into the palace, I will go back to the other yard to change my clothes."
Kou Zhun nodded, and left the equipment workshop with his hands on his back.
Kou Ji did not leave in a hurry, but returned to the equipment workshop and told the artisans before rushing to the other courtyard of the mansion.
When Kou Ji returned to the courtyard, Kou Zhun and Chen Lin had already left the courtyard of the Kou Mansion by car.
Under Xiang Yan's wait on him, Kou Ji washed himself, put on his official uniform, got into the carriage, and entered the city of Bianjing.
He rushed all the way to Donghua Gate, showed his waist card, and entered the palace.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Kou Ji arrived at Shishitang, and Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng and others had begun to discuss who to send to Yinzhou and Linzhou.
When Kou Ji stepped forward, he heard someone mention his name.
It was Wang Zeng who was talking.
Sitting at the head of Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng said to Zhao Zhen: "The old official thought that as of now, Kou Ji can only go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places."
Kou Zhun frowned and said in a deep voice: "In Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places, what is needed now is the person in charge of the army, not the person in charge. Kou Ji went to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places without military affairs. Facing the tens of thousands of troops led by Xiao Xiaomu, I am afraid there is no alternative."
Wang Zeng sighed and said to Kou Zhun: "I also know that Linzhou, Yinzhou and other places need soldiers in charge. However, most of the soldiers and horses in Yinzhou and Linzhou are the old divisions of the Zhejia, and there are also Zhejia. military.
They have been in the Zhe family for many years, and it is difficult to dispatch them if they are not members of the Zhe family.
Now Zhe Weizhong has life concerns and is difficult to control. His heirs are too young to be in control.
It is impossible for the Zhe family to surrender the Zhe family army, and even if the court sends people in charge of the army, it is difficult to mobilize them.
Therefore, the person in charge of the army will go in vain if they go.
What the imperial court can do now is to send a high-status and high-status official to rush to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places with the sword of the emperor, and dispatch the Xiang army and the forbidden army close to Yinzhou and Linzhou to resist Liao People, keep Liao people out of the Great Wall.
Otherwise, there is no other way. "
Zhejia is loyal and courageous.
But Zhejia was also a thorn in the court.
Zhejia is the only one with military power among the many generals of the imperial court.
Independent of the prefectures, it is like a vassal town.
The Zhe family army belonged directly to the Zhe family, not the imperial court.
It is impossible for the imperial court to get past the Zhejia and mobilize the Zhejia army.
Kou Zhun groaned: "Didn't the court dispatch Wang Yunsheng to Fuzhou to mourn the old lady? Wang Yunsheng should have arrived in Fuzhou at this moment."
Wang Zeng slowly shook his head, "Wang Yunsheng is more than calm, lacking in spirit, and has not experienced military affairs. He represents the court to mourn the old lady, that's okay. You can send him to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places. The Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army would definitely not be able to resist the Liao people.
Kou Ji was different. Although he didn't know how to do military affairs, the Western Regions and his entourage used many methods to help me get a thousand miles of fertile soil for Da Song.
Going to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places will inevitably keep the Liao people out of the territory. "
Kou Zhun said displeased: "It's not Kou Ji's work that Song can get the land of Hexi."
Wang Zeng said in a deep voice, "But Kou Ji has made great contributions."
Kou Zhun's brow furrowed into a word for Sichuan.
Wang Zeng insisted that Kou Ji go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places to preside over the overall situation.
But Kou Zhun was unwilling.
Why
Because Kou Ji had gone to the Western Regions before, and Li Zhaoliang was by his side.
Li Zhaoliang led an army of 100,000, which was enough to help Kou Jijie feel most of the trouble.
When we arrived in the Western Regions, Yuanshan's loyalty and courage came to vote, and when we arrived in Hexi, Zhu Neng and Yang Wenguang helped.
There are many soldiers under his hand, so there is no need to worry about no one.
Going to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places is different.
There were no heavy soldiers along the way.
No one can reach Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places.
It is impossible for the Zhejia Army to listen to Kou Ji.
It's impossible for the people who broke the family to listen to Kou Ji.
Zhu Neng is in Hexi, Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Li Zhaoliang and others are in Yanyun.
There are still a few generals who can play in the center of the DPRK, but they are okay to charge and be in the battle, and they are almost in control of the overall situation.
Serving as a vanguard general is more than enough to control the overall situation of Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places, but he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
Therefore, the imperial court was unable to dispatch personnel to cooperate with Kou Ji to resist the Liao people in Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places.
Kou Zhun frowned and remained silent for a long time, and then reminded: "At present, the most important thing in Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places is military affairs, not political affairs."
Wang Zeng sighed.
He didn't know that the most important thing in Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places was military affairs.
However, the imperial court now has no suitable personnel to send to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places to take command of the army, and the Zhejia Army and the old Ministry of Zhejia cannot listen to the dispatch of outsiders.
He could only catch the ducks on the shelves, and asked Kou Ji to go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places.
Kou Ji Xiyu and his entourage, cleverly used a strategy, and took the Hexi Land.
He hoped that Kou Ji went to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places, and could also make clever strategies.
He didn't expect Kou Ji to open up territory after going to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places. He only hoped that Kou Ji could stop the Liao people and prevent the Liao people from invading one step south.
The words of Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng, the old prince of the Yang family heard every word.
She heard the key point in the two people's words.
The imperial court now has no generals to send, and no one can go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places to control military affairs.
The Zhejia army did not come out, and the imperial court dispatched Xiang army and imperial army from Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places, and they might not be able to withstand the Liao people.
"The old man is willing to go to Fuzhou..."
The old lady of the Yang family pondered for a long time, and slowly said out.
Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng were shocked when they heard this.
Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "Old sister, you are so strong that you can't stand the bumps of a long journey."
Wang Zeng nodded in agreement.
The old lady of the Yang family whispered: "Although the old man is very old, his bones are still strong. If I go back to Fuzhou, nothing will happen. The old man will go to Fuzhou, although he can't help the court to lead the war, but he sigh The family army can still do it by following the imperial order."
Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng looked at each other and sighed together.
Kou Zhun sighed to the old lady of the Yang family: "Old sister, I was incompetent and failed to handle the country's affairs properly, which caused you to travel far away at such an age."
The old lady of the Yang family shook her head without speaking.
In her opinion, this is a mess.
It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.
If the Zhe family did not sit in the prefecture and was like a feudal town, the imperial court would not have to have so many worries, let alone the northwestern region where the Zhe family was located. There would be no strong army except the Zhe family army.
The northwest area where the Zhe family was located was the most important frontier of the imperial court and also the place of the Four Wars.
If there is no Zhejia, the imperial court will definitely send generals and powerful troops to the northwest region where Zhejia is located.
Therefore, the imperial court now has no strong army in the northwest region where the Zhe family is located. It has the responsibility of the imperial court as well as the responsibility of the Zhe family.
Although the Zhejia army is guarded in the northwest region where the Zhe family is located, the imperial court should not always rely on the Zhe family and relax the control of soldiers and horses in the northwest region where the Zhe family is located. , No strong army is available.
The Zhe family took care of all military affairs and military affairs in the northwest region where the Zhe family was located. He had never thought that after the Zhe family had no leader, the northwest region where the Zhe family was located would fall into a very embarrassing situation.
Therefore, both the Zhe family and the court were at fault.
But the Zhe family and the court did not intend to make mistakes deliberately.
As the only general in the court with military power, the court naturally used the Northwest military affairs to continue to consume the strength of the family. Otherwise, the court would be in danger if the family stayed high.
The reason why the Zhe family took care of all military affairs and military affairs in the northwest was that the whole clan was rooted in the prefecture and was unwilling to enter Beijing for one step. It was also for self-protection.
When Emperor Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was in power, Zhe Yuxun, the head of the Zhe family, was named the Queen of Yongan Army.
After staying, it is the feudal town recognized by Song Dynasty.
As long as they surrendered to the Song Dynasty and were recognized by the Song Dynasty, they would add a post to stay behind.
Zhe Yuxun also guarded the post left behind, and dedicated himself to helping Da Song guard the border, and even moved his family to move to Bianjing several times.
It wasn't long after his mind was born, he was strangled by the newly succeeded Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.
When Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he immediately changed his post to the Yongan Army to stay behind, as the Yongan Army Jiedu Envoy.
Zhe Yuxun knew exactly what Taizong Emperor Zhao Guangyi thought.
Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi abolished the name of the Zhejia Fanzhen by means of this change of appointment.
In this regard, Yuxun did not care.
But not long after Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi became the throne, something happened that made him a warning sign and gave up his thoughts of moving to the city of Bianjing.
Li Yu, the post-lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Meng Chang, the post-lord of the Shu Kingdom, surrendered to the subjugated monarch of the Song Dynasty and died violently.
Zhe Yuxun felt that if he moved to the city of Bianjing, he would end up similar to these people.
Therefore, he decisively put out the Juzu's mind to move to Bianjing, and chose to stay in Fuzhou.
Zhejia stayed in Fuzhou to protect himself.
The power of the Song Dynasty court to use the frontier warfare to torture the family is also a kind of self-protection.
So in this matter, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong.
The old lady of the Yang family took the initiative to ask for it, but Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng only declined. After the old lady of the Yang family insisted on requesting, they did not refuse the matter again.
The matter is settled.
With the Yang family's old lady coming forward, the Zhe family army will certainly be able to obey the imperial court's orders and cooperate with the imperial court to resist the Liao people.
Kou Zhun sighed and said, "Then let Kou Ji go to Yinzhou and Linzhou."
Wang Zeng hurriedly said, "I will let people make plans."
The entrance of Shishitang.
Kou Ji stood there blankly, neither entering nor retreating.
It was said that he was invited over to discuss matters, but the discussions were over before others arrived.
Then what else would he ask him to do
Kou Ji finally bit his head and entered the Shiji Hall.
Kou Ji entered the Shishi Hall, and after giving a salute to Zhao Zhen who was sitting at the top without saying a word, he sat down in the last empty seat without making a sound.
Both Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng agreed that he would go to Yinzhou, Linzhou and other places. This matter was settled, and it was useless for him to object.
Wang Zeng sent someone to draft the imperial decree, and after it was stamped with a seal, it was sent to Kou Ji.
He also didn't order anyone to read it, so he asked Kou Ji to read it by himself.
Kou Ji turned to look at the imperial edict, and Wang Zeng admonished by his side: "The old man has given you the greatest power. All the soldiers and horses in the northwest will be assigned by you; military generals will be appointed by you; local officials will be assigned by you. ; Below grade three, chop first and play later.
You are upset in the northwest, and the old man doesn't care about it.
The old man only asks you to do one thing well, and that is to keep the gate of the country and keep the Liao people from the territory of the Song Dynasty.
As long as you can stop the Liao people in the northwest, Cao Wei and others will be able to open up the frontiers of Song Dynasty for me in the land of Yanyun. "
Kou Ji had a headache after hearing what Wang Zeng said.
Wang Zeng's words made him feel a headache.
The title that Wang once gave him in the imperial edict also gave him a headache.
There are many titles, including recruiting envoys, comfort envoys, general manager of soldiers and horses, and military supervisors.
Kou Ji is no longer the ignorant boy who has just entered the court. He now understands the truth that the more positions, the greater the responsibility.
Wang Zeng gave him so many titles, which was tantamount to entrusting him with all the military and political affairs in the Northwest.
Let him handle the government affairs in the Northwest, he can barely deal with it, but he is really one of the first two leaders when dealing with the military affairs in the Northwest.
"Wang Xiang, are you too worthy of being an official?"
Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows and stared at Wang Zeng to ask questions.
Wang Zeng knew what Kou Ji was thinking, but he just coughed and didn't speak.
If the court could draw suitable manpower to go to the northwest, he wouldn't be able to force Kou Ji to go.
He didn't put everything in the Northwest on Kou Ji.
The court has dispatched Wang Yunsheng to take the lead and go to the northwest.
When Kou Ji arrives in the northwest, with Wang Yunsheng's help, the pressure will be much less.
"When will you leave?"
Kou Ji questioned.
When things have reached this point, Kou Ji has no room for rejection.
He can only bite the bullet and go to the northwest for a while.
Wang Zeng and Kou Zhun did not speak, but looked at the old lady of the Yang family.
The old lady of the Yang family sighed, "Let's set off tomorrow."
Arrived early, there is more hope.
If Zhe Weizhong was still alive when they rushed to the northwest, he might be able to save his life.
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Several people sat together and discussed some details.
He helped Kou Ji choose a few vanguard generals who charged into the battle among the three yams, and then left separately.
When Kou Ji was about to leave, he was left behind by Zhao Zhen.
When there were only two people in Shishitang, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, they were very casual.
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen, and said solemnly: "Zhejia..."
Zhao Zhen seemed to have guessed what Kou Ji wanted to ask, and said in a deep voice: "I know that Zhe's mother has a life worry. I know that Zhe Weizhong is suffering from a physical illness. I didn't expect the enemy to use this matter to calculate trouble. Weizhong did not expect that Xixia people would have the courage to let Liao people pass through.
It is precisely because of this that I did not attach importance to Zhe Weizhong's physical illness. "
