"Go and do your job, don't forget that you have a heavy responsibility now. The lives of tens of thousands of people in the northwest are weighed on you."
The old lady of the Yang family cautioned Kou Ji with earnest words.
Kou Ji sighed in his heart, got up and respectfully saluted the old lady of the Yang family.
The old lady of the Yang family sat on the kang without moving, and was gifted by Kou Ji.
She can afford it.
Even if Zhao Zhen personally salutes her, she can bear it.
After Kou Ji Shili, he withdrew from the wing room.
Standing outside the wing room and looking back into the wing room, Kou Ji looked worried.
The sadness that does not evoke, is far more terrifying than the hysterical crying.
Hysterical crying and runny tears are not fatal.
After crying bitterly, after comfort, it will gradually get better.
Sadness that is not caused may cause heart disease.
The more heart disease accumulates, it will eventually overwhelm the whole body and cause worry about life.
Kou Ji very much hoped that the old lady of the Yang family could cry bitterly, but the old lady of the Yang family did not shed a single tear.
The old lady of the Yang family told Kou Ji that her tears had already drained.
Kou Ji believed her words.
She had no tears to shed, so she could only bleed, still bloody.
Kou Ji returned from the wing of the old lady of the Yang family to his own wing. Liu Heng waited in the wing and did not leave.
After seeing Kou Ji, he hurried forward and asked eagerly: "How does the old lady look?"
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and sighed, "I didn't cry or shout, and even smiled at me several times."
"Hiss~"
Liu Heng took a deep breath, and said in a heavy voice: "She is holding the pain in her heart..."
Kou Ji lamented: "Who said no."
Liu Heng frowned and said solemnly: "We have to think of a way to let her vent the pain in her heart."
Kou Ji said with a bitter face: "If I had a way, I would have used it long ago, and I will have to wait until now."
After hesitating for a while, Kou Ji said again: "Actually, I feel very contradictory in my heart. Do you think it is better for the old lady to live longer or shorter
If Kou Ji's words were spoken to others, he would definitely be yelled at by someone pointing his nose.
The old lady of the Yang family has lived to eighty, she is already a rare person, but everyone wants her to live longer, the longer she lives, the better she can live over a hundred years old.
Liu Heng didn't point to Kou Ji's nose, because he understood what Kou Ji meant.
Longevity is a joyful thing for many, many people.
But for the old lady of the Yang family, that might not be the case.
She will live an extra quarter of an hour, and she will suffer an extra quarter of an hour of pain and torture in her heart.
When Kou Ji was in later generations, he heard of an old man who lived very long. He died of his son, his grandson, and his great-grandson. His bones were still strong.
He finally made a move that made many people very puzzled, that is, he stopped eating and starved himself to death.
Kou Ji didn't quite understand this old man's move before, but now he can understand more or less.
A white-haired person gives a black-haired person, and once it is given, it is already a human tragedy.
Give it one time, it's already broken.
Give it a few more times, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will be broken into a pool of meat.
To live is a torture for them, not a gift.
Liu Heng hesitated for a long time and gave the answer, "Naturally it is better to live longer..."
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng, and Liu Heng solemnly said: "General Yang's bones are still in Gubeikou. Even if she wants to go west, she will have to wait for General Yang's bones to be welcomed back and be buried with General Yang."
Kou Ji nodded, "You are right! She should live longer. As younger generations, we should welcome General Yang's bones back and bury them with her.
Before that, we must first defeat the Liao people. "
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
Kou Ji commanded: "The people with you, immediately go northward, without stopping, rushing to the south bank of the Yellow River north of Jiaxian County, and at all costs, block the Liao people to the north of the Yellow River.
When necessary, Wang Yunsheng can be used to put a knife on Zhe Jixuan's neck to force the Zhe family army out. "
Liu Heng heard this and was slightly worried, "We are going to build troops in the northwest, and we need to help the Zhejia Army. If Wang Yunsheng did this, would Zhejia Army be hostile to us
Kou Ji frowned and said: "The northwest is the northwest of the court, not the northwest of the Zhe family. The officials have entrusted all the military and political powers of the northwest to me, then I have the right to decide all affairs in the northwest. They want to be hostile to us, too. I'll talk about it after the old lady."
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's tough tone, he knew that Kou Ji had made up his mind.
He didn't say anything any more, hugged his fists at Kou Ji, and left Kou Ji's wing.
Liu Heng went all the way to the barracks outside the station and mobilized 10,000 Qingtang soldiers to the northwest.
Kou Ji did not rush to leave.
In order to take care of the old lady of the Yang family, he specially stayed in the inn for one day, and did not set off with his servants until the second day.
Kou Ji led a large team of luggage, so the marching speed was very slow.
When he led the servants of the Kou Mansion and escorted them out of Jinzhou, Wang Kai had already led the trilogy to Jia County.
The Jinning military commander stationed in Jiaxian County, when he learned that Wang Kai was about to take over the military power of the Jinning Army, he did not happily hand over the military power of the Jinning Army, but he did not dare to embarrass Wang Kai, so he asked for it. An excuse to delay time.
Wang Kai knew that the military situation was urgent, so he held the arrow order given by Kou Jiyu in his hand, so naturally he would not sit back and wait for death.
Holding an arrow order, he secretly contacted a group of civilian officials, including the supervising army and pushing officer in the Jinning army, conveyed Kou Ji's order to them, and asked them to help restrain the Jinning army.
Then at the night when the Jinning General Admiral invited him to have a drink in the Jiaxian Restaurant, he led the trilogy and killed the Jinning General Admiral.
The reason why Wang Kai chose to ambush, instead of in the Jinning army barracks, asked Kou Ji's arrow order to directly kill the Jinning army chief, because there were many Jinning army chiefs' confidants in the Jinning army.
If they were instigated by the Jinning military commander and completely messed up, they wouldn't care about your arrows or not, they would definitely hack Wang Kai to death on the spot.
There is an unwritten rule that has been in use since ancient times, and this rule is called the law not to blame the public.
In the manner of the imperial court, when a local army has a mutiny, whoever causes the mutiny is the culprit, no matter what your purpose is, whether you are wronged or not.
Therefore, under the instigation of the Jinning army generals, the Jinning army generals hacked Wang Kai to death without much worry.
Once Wang Kai died, the Jinning military commander would definitely flee from Song Dynasty with his confidant.
Will the court vent its anger with a group of ordinary soldiers who have been incited
Everyone is wrong. The court can never kill tens of thousands of people for Wang Kai alone.
Wang Kai just guessed the result of his request for an arrow in the Jinning Army barracks, so he decisively chose ambush.
After Wang Kaifu killed the general of Jinning, holding the head of the general of Jinning, he quietly entered the barracks.
He first controlled the confidant of Jinning Military Commander in the army by supervising the army, pushing officers and others.
Then he took out the arrows and the heads of the Jinning army chief in public, and announced to the Jinning army's generals that he was ordered to take over the military power of the Jinning army.
Supervisors and push officers cooperated with Wang Kai to persuade the generals of the Jinning Army, and the generals quickly accepted this fact.
In order to control the Jinning Army as soon as possible, mobilize the morale of the Jinning Army.
After Wang Kai persuaded the officers and soldiers of Jinning County, he successively dismissed the officials of the confidants of the generals of Jinning Army, and gave them the officials who were highly prestigious in the army. .
With the help of the supervising army, push officers, heads, and leaders, Wang Kai completely controlled the Jinning army.
After taking control of the Jinning Army, Wang Kai sent someone to Kou Ji a petition, and then took the Jinning Army to Baode and Linzhou along the Yellow River to defend against the Liao people.
The reason why Wang Kai wanted to plead guilty was because he gave it to others without authorization.
Although he is in a hurry, Kou Ji will not necessarily blame him.
But somehow he had to express his opinion to Kou Ji, admitting that he was wrong.
This is the rule.
Facts have proved that Kou Ji eats his rules very much.
After Kou Ji got Wang Kai's petition, he was very satisfied with Wang Kai's actions.
Don't be arrogant, dare to do things, dare to admit mistakes, and understand the rules.
Such a subordinate is considered a good subordinate.
Kou Ji's evaluation of Wang Kai has improved a bit.
When replying to Wang Kai's letter, Kou Ji scolded Wang Kai a lot in the letter, but did not give any substantive punishment.
The biggest punishment was to let Wang Kai give out a sum of money to house the families of those entourage who had been killed by Wang Kaifu along with the Jinning general.
Financial punishment is really nothing to Wang Kai, who has a rich family.
Wang Kai led the Jinning army to the edge of the Yellow River, and happened to hit a division of the Liao people to cross the river.
Wang Kai did not order the Jinning Army to cross the river to meet the enemy, but instead led the Jinning Army's generals to stand on the bank and wait for the Liao people to cross the river.
The Liao people dared not cross the river, so they could only look across the river with the generals of the Jinning Army led by Wang Kai.
Not long after Wang Kai arrived on the bank of the Yellow River, Liu Heng also appeared on the bank of the Yellow River with ten thousand soldiers and horses from Qingtang.
Seeing this, the Liao people retreated decisively.
There are tens of thousands of troops waiting for them by the river, and they are not good at fighting on the water. Forcibly crossing the river is to die.
Even if the strength of the Jinning Army and Qingtang soldiers is not as good as theirs, they can give them a head-on blow when they cross the river.
Is there any shelter on the river? Most of them can't get water either.
Once they set foot on the road to cross the river, they are all living targets.
The Liao people are good at fighting, but they can't go to death stupidly.
When crossing the river failed, the Liao people rushed to Yinzhou to pierce the eyes of Yinzhou.
After seeing the Liao people retreating, Wang Kai and Liu Heng immediately divided their troops into two groups, rushing all the way to Baode, rushing to help the Qingshan army, staying in place all the way, and starting to deploy defenses to prevent the Liao people from sending other partial divisions to cross the river.
When Kou Ji received the military information sent by Wang Kai and Liu Heng, he had already arrived in Fenzhou.
Kou Ji was also relieved to learn that Wang Kai and Liu Heng had blocked the Liao people on the other side of the river.
The Liao people on the north bank of the Yellow River and on the south bank of the Yellow River are completely two concepts.
The Liao people are on the north bank of the Yellow River. With the help of the natural barrier of the Yellow River, Kou Ji can easily resist the Liao people.
If the Liao people crossed the Yellow River and appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River, the situation would be bad.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, there is a flat official road leading directly to Bianjing.
Once the Liao people crossed the Yellow River, they could unite their troops, give up attacking all places, and go straight to Bianjing.
Once the Liao people hit the city of Bianjing, the entire Song Dynasty would have to follow suit.
After Kou Ji arrived in Fenzhou, he did not rush on his way, but stayed in Fenzhou for two days.
The old lady of the Zhe family parted ways with Kou Ji in Fenzhou and rushed to Fuzhou.
Kou Ji was in Fenzhou to wait for others, and the old lady of the Zhe family rushed to Fuzhou to see Zhe Weizhong's bones.
After Kou Ji sent away the old lady of the Zhe family, he waited not long in Fenzhou.
A very unique group of people appeared in the post in Fenzhou.
The head was an old man with a half-length mask, and a few men in armor and blades were followed by a group of teenagers and young people in leather armor and carrying muskets behind him.
Several men in armor and blades saw Kou Ji, they were very enthusiastic, one by one jumped off the horse and rushed in front of Kou Ji.
"I have seen the young master..."
Several men in armor and blades arrived in front of Kou Ji and hurriedly gave salutes. After the salute, they began to complain constantly.
"Master, let the villain go back to the house. The place you send the villain is not the place where the people stay. You have to be pissed off by a bunch of rascals all day long. I'm so angry, my hair is almost falling out..."
"Master, the people you let the villain teach are all elm heads. If the villain can't teach well, do you still ask for a clever man?"
"Master, the villain should go back to your house to help you raise the horse."
"..."
Kou Ji had a headache because of their babbles, rubbing his eyebrows and shouting: "Okay, let's yell again, hang up and fight!"
The head of Kou Ji's bodyguard, upon hearing this, stood in front of the others eagerly.
Several men in armor and blades shut their mouths immediately.
The old man sitting on horseback who has been silent for a while, after the men in armor and blades shut their mouths, he stared at Kou Ji and snorted, "Have you finished recounting the old days of your masters and servants?"
The old man has no time to spend with you here. "
Kou Ji hadn't spoken yet, and several men in armor and blades turned their heads and stared at the old man on horseback.
One of the guys even took the musket from his back and threatened the old man: "Speak politely to my young master, or I will blow your head with one shot!"
Hearing this, the old man turned red, staring at Kou Ji angrily and shouted: "Kou Ji, you have to figure out that this time the court is asking the old man, not the old man asking the court. You'd better be polite to the old man and let you subordinate. My doggies, be kind to the old man too."
"Bah! Give you a face?! You are a hairless phoenix, and you dare to threaten my young master."
Chen Datou was holding the gun, and was about to rebound and fire.
Kou Ji frowned and said solemnly: "Enough!"
