"The old man is worry-free, you send someone to send him back. The old man always follows you and delays you from doing big things."
The old lady of the Yang family said to Kou Ji with a faint smile.
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Tomorrow I will pick a team of guards and send you back."
The old lady of the Yang family shook his head and said: "Three or five old pawns are enough, who can't do anything to an old lady with a declining age."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently and said nothing.
Kou Ji got out of the tent of the old prince of the Yang family, selected twenty soldiers, and escorted the old prince of the Yang family back to Bianjing.
The Yang family's old lady was still followed by the Yang family trilogy, and Kou Ji did not send too many people to escort her.
After Kou Ji sent away the old lady of the Yang family, he led Liu Heng's reorganized army and their family members, Haohao left Fuzhou and went to Yinzhou.
Just when Kou Ji led his troops to Yinzhou.
Inside Tongtai Pass.
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian got the news that he defeated the Liao people.
"Hahaha..."
After Cao Wei watched the battle report from 800 miles expedited, the frost on his face for more than a month disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bright smile.
Cao Wei's laughter was very hearty, spreading inside and outside the city gates.
Lu Yijian, who was sitting next to Cao Wei, also smiled after reading the battle report handed over by Cao Wei, "The Liao people are really stealing chickens this time."
Cao Wei smiled and nodded and said, "One hundred and fifty thousand elite Liao soldiers, Heqing and Jinsu, were all buried in the northwest. After the Liao emperor Yelu Longxu learned about it, he might vomit blood."
Lu Yijian nodded and smiled: "The Relic Army is one of the rare strong troops in the Liao Kingdom. Now they are all buried in the northwest. The Liao Emperor has a broken arm. It is strange if he doesn't vomit blood."
Cao Wei narrowed the smile on his face slightly, and said with emotion: "That kid Kou Ji is also ruthless. After catching Xiao Xiaomu, Huang Pian and others, he didn't say escorted them here, letting the Liao people redeem him, but he was on the spot. Cut off.
In this way, the possibility of peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom was cut off. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, the smile on his face dissipated a little. He said in a calm manner: "The kid Kou Ji is not good at military affairs, and the 150,000 elite Liao people suddenly appeared in the northwest. The northwest is precarious.
Zhe Weizhong, whom the court could rely on, was used by the Liao and Xixia people to calculate and died.
People in the northwest were mostly slaughtered.
After Kou Ji defeated the Liao people, he bit the assassin to appease the hearts of the people. "
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, and said dumbfounded: "I don't mean to blame Kou Ji. I sent hundreds of thousands of military exploits to the Liao Kingdom in order to get back the sixteen states of Yanyun. Now Yanyun has not recovered. Even if someone wants to negotiate peace with the Liao people, I will not agree.
I just think that kid Kou Ji is decisive, unlike your civil servants.
It's like our military minister. "
Lu Yijian rolled his eyes, "Who said that we civil servants can't be decisive?"
After saying this, Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei vigilantly: "Don't look at that kid Kou Ji is capable, just go to your military ministers. He is destined to enter the inner court, not the Privy Council."
Cao Wei said indifferently: "I have a vacancy in the Privy Council at the moment, but your inner court does not."
Lu Yijian snorted coldly and said, "If you really drag Kou Jipa to the ranks of military ministers, Kou Gong, Li Gong, Wang Zeng, and even the officials will not let you go."
Cao Wei curled his lips and did not speak again.
He really had the intention of putting Kojra into the ranks of military ministers.
Nowadays, civil servants are fierce and military ministers are weak.
If after this battle, he succumbed to his old man and returned home, there would be no one in the ranks of military officials.
Li Zhaoliang and Zhu Neng could not hold back the other military officials in the court, nor were they able to keep everything that military officials should have under the pressure of the civil officials.
Yang Wenguang and Di Qing are too young, and they don't have enough qualifications and credits. They don't even have the chance to enter the Privy Council, let alone carry it.
Cao Wei calculated it carefully. After he resigned, Kou Ji was the only one who could hold down the military minister in the court and lead the military minister to fight against the civil servants.
Kou Ji had two major battle exploits, and he had a good relationship with the generals in Bianjing.
Zhu Neng, Yang Wenguang, Li Zhaoliang, Di Qing and others have all been favored by Kou Ji.
If he sits in the Privy Council, he will definitely be able to frighten the heroes.
The most important thing is that he was born as a civil servant, and many of the civil servants have passed away.
Once he sits in the Privy Council, his disciples are old, and they have to give him some face. When encountering Dao problems, he won't be too embarrassed by the military ministers.
Kou Ji has a close relationship with officials.
If he sits in the Privy Council, even if he can't lead the military ministers to the court, he can also lead the military ministers to fight against the civil ministers without falling into the wind.
In this way, the position of the military ministers in the court will not be shaken by his departure, but will become more stable.
It can be said that Kou Ji's admission to the Privy Council will definitely benefit the military minister.
It's just that Lu Yijian clearly saw his thoughts, so after he leaked a little bit of breath, he decisively blocked his words.
Lv Yijian saw that Cao Wei stopped speaking, and knew that some bad thoughts that had just arisen in Cao Wei's heart had been choked to death by him. He smiled brightly and asked Cao Wei, "Now the soldiers and horses sent by the Liao Emperor to the northwest have been exhausted. Eliminate, you no longer need to worry about a fire in our backyard. What are your plans for the next step?"
Cao Wei opened his mouth, and as soon as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Yijian continue to say: "We sat in Tongtaiguan for two to three months. Nowadays, there have been a lot of rumors in Bianjing, saying that we will miss the opportunity and waste the court’s Money and food.
While they blamed you Cao Wei, they also blamed me. "
Cao Wei snorted coldly, "They know what a fart... They just hide behind their backs and chew their tongues... If you have the courage to impeach me..."
The corners of Lu Yijian's mouth twitched, and Cao Wei glanced sideways.
It's not that no one impeached Cao Wei.
Many officials impeached Cao Wei.
It's just that the official Zhao Zhen was determined to support Cao Wei, so all those who impeached Cao Wei have now been sent to the sixteenth prefecture of Yanyun to join the army.
They impeached Cao Wei with the front foot, and the back foot was sent to Cao Wei's hands. Cao Wei naturally let go of the rectification of his hands and feet.
He used to have no temper with these people who were chewing their tongues behind their backs.
Every time he was stabbed in the back when leading a soldier on an expedition, he could only blow his beard and stare in the distant border.
Now it is different. The official Zhao Zhen sent people over to him intimately, and he naturally sent those people more intimately to the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous places.
The barracks are no better than other places.
In the barracks, the command of the coach is destiny.
Everyone must obey.
Otherwise military law is engaged.
Therefore, Cao Wei punishes those people openly, and they dare not resist.
There were more than a dozen officials sent by the official Zhao Zhen.
Three of them were sent to the scout camp by Cao Wei, and returned with missing arms and legs within three days.
The rest of those who were scared were afraid to go out in the camp, crying for mercy.
Now they have all been sent by Cao Wei to clean up Yexiang.
"The officials believe in you, so those who impeached you were sent to you. But you can't live up to the trust of the officials."
Lu Yijian solemnly reminded.
Cao Wei said sternly: "Naturally I will not let down the trust of the officials, but now is not the time to send troops. We are anxious, the Liao people are more anxious than us. If my expectations are not bad, within three or two days, Liao Huang Yelu Long Xu will definitely lead the army to the south.
We are now attacking, it is very likely that we will hit the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu in the wild.
Most of our troops were infantrymen, and most of us were cavalry under the Liao emperor's command.
In the field operations, we do not have much advantage.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some of the gains outweigh the losses when attacking now.
It is better to hold on to the city, wait for the hare, and wait for the Liao people to attack. "
After a pause, Cao Wei said with a little emotion: "That kid Kou Ji is also true. There are so many good things in his hand, he has to hide it. If he gives me all the firearms, I can take the initiative to attack. , Go to the wild and meet Liao people for a while."
Lu Yijian rolled his eyes and said, "Just be content with you. Just those muskets and artillery in your hand, or the few of us who gave up an old face and asked for you from Kou Ji's hands, otherwise you have nothing."
Cao Wei curled his lips and said nothing.
Lu Yijian continued: "You have to be fortunate, that kid always keeps his hand in doing things. Otherwise, this time the Liao people invaded from the northwest, it would not be so easy to deal with. Then even if you take the entire Yanyun sixteen states, how can ?"
Cao Wei sighed and said: "That kid just can't squeeze the oil. I always feel that squeezing it can squeeze a lot of good things."
When Lu Yijian heard this, he did not object, but nodded seriously: "You are right, that kid can't squeeze oil."
Cao Wei suggested: "You write back to Bianjing City to the official family. Let the official family send someone to have a good chat with Kou Ji, and see if there are any good things in Kou Ji's hands, and ask for more if there are any."
Lu Yijian thought for a moment and nodded.
Cao Wei continued: "You write here, and I will go out to line up and wait for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to bring his troops."
After saying this, Cao Wei left the city gate and went to line up troops.
Lu Yijian stayed in the city gate building with blood letters.
Not far from them in Youzhou City.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was indeed as expected by Cao Wei, angrily trying to vomit blood.
Xiao Xiaomu, the uncle of the country, and the king of Yan, have never failed since enlisting in the army.
Daliao went up and down, feeling that he might not be defeated in this life.
Even the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu felt so.
But now Xiao Xiaomu was defeated.
Not only was it defeated, it also ruined 150,000 elite Liao soldiers.
Not only was he defeated, but he also lost his head.
The defeat was unprecedented and thorough.
Xiao Xiaomu was defeated and died, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu didn't feel distressed at all.
But the Twelfth Squad Army on Northwest Road and the Sari Army disappeared.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really feels distressed.
The pain is dripping blood.
"The Sari Army has been passed down from generation to generation since the establishment of the Great Liao Dynasty. Although I have suffered defeats, I have never suffered an extinction. Today, it has been damaged in the hands of an incompetent Song, and the whole army has been wiped out!
Xiao Xiaomu, stupid! Damn it!
He is the sinner of my Daliao! "
The angry roar of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu resounded inside and outside the palace.
The Daliao Wenwu inside and outside the palace hung their heads, not daring to say a word.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu angrily put Xiao Xiaomu down for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Summon the heads of the tribes to see me!"
After receiving the summoning order from the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the heads of the various tribes hurriedly rushed to the palace.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was very rude to the heads of the small tribes. After the head of the last small tribe entered the palace, he said in a deep voice: "I want to attack Tongtai Pass and fight the Song people.
You and others are all subordinates of my Daliao, who have enjoyed the asylum of my Daliao for more than a hundred years.
Now my Daliao is on the occasion of employing people, so I am going to recruit the people of Er and other people as pioneers to open the door to the south for my Daliao.
I don't know what you are waiting for? "
As soon as Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said this, the heads of the various tribes in the palace dared not speak.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu obviously wanted the people of their tribes to be cannon fodder and sent to death. How could they not be angry
It was so angry, but no one dared to speak out, and no one showed an angry face.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was used to being domineering, and anyone who worked against him had no good end.
Since the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu took office, the horn of war has never stopped.
He has been in power until now, and he has either been fighting abroad or sending troops and horses to conquer the small tribes in Liao.
All the small tribes that disobeyed the meaning of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu would label them a rebellion and send heavy troops to destroy them.
The heads of the various tribes did not want to be annihilated, they had to act according to the mind of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked around the heads of the various tribes, and began to call them, "Jiansu Pavilion... Three thousand warriors of your tribe have been named. Come to my account and listen to them."
Husu Pavilion is the name of the tribe.
One of the three parts of Wanyan.
The three parts of Wanyan are Wanyan, Yelan, and Suguan.
The Wanyan Tribe and the Yelaan Tribe lived between the Baishan and the Black Waters. Although they lived on the territories controlled by the Liao people, they refused to accept the Liao people's control and had been fighting with the Liao people between the Baishan and the black waters.
Husuguan is a group of Wanyan tribes that belonged to the rule of the Liao people and moved to the past after the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty conquered the Hanhai Kingdom.
Therefore, the first two are often referred to as Sheng Jurchen.
The latter is called a mature woman.
After hearing the order of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the head of the Husuguan tribe said in a deep voice.
Even though he felt wronged in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out, let alone show it on his face.
The Liao emperor Yelu Longxu called one after another. Not long after, he ordered the names of more than 20 tribes. The big ones have the most people, and the small ones have the least.
If there are few people, not only have to provide people, but also have to bear part of the food and grass supply.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu squeezed them severely on the bottom line acceptable to the various tribes.
After some squeezing, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu collected more than 50,000 cannon fodder, and more than 50,000 cannon fodder needed forage.
After squeezing the small tribes.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu declared to everyone in the palace, "As things are up to now, no more plans will make any difference. Only the Song people who fought head-on with the Song people, let them pay the price of blood, They can continue to surrender at the feet of my Daliao.
Tomorrow will pull out the camp, all the soldiers and horses will follow me, all the way south, and the soldiers will come to Tongtai Pass. "
