Although Cao Wei has the upper hand most of the time.
However, the more the Liao State's troops were consumed, the more it was consumed.
Da Song's forces are consumed less and less.
As the orders of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continued to be communicated to the small tribes, the small tribes also led soldiers and horses to the outside of Tongtai Pass.
The army of Liao is consuming and replenished at the same time, so it is increasing.
On the other hand, in the Song Dynasty, the army has been consuming and has not been replenished, so the more soldiers and horses are consumed, the less.
Cao Wei fought against Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu for more than a month.
Tens of thousands of people were buried in Tongtai Pass, and the two parties did not intend to give up.
It doesn't mean that the winner will be determined by a happy battle.
The news came back to Da Song. Da Song went up and down with a stunned expression. Few people knew what Cao Wei and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu were doing.
The news reached the northwest and reached Kou Ji's ears. Kou Ji was also confused.
Kou Ji held the Zhanzhi Dibao in the Land of Yanyun in his hand, and said suspiciously, "Isn't it over for a good fight? It's no good for anyone to push and pull like this. Why did they do this? ?"
In war, on the one hand, it is a competition of wisdom, strategy, strength and weakness of soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, it is the competition of financial resources.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are hoarded in one place, and the daily consumption of food is a huge number.
The longer it takes, the more it consumes.
More importantly, the longer the replenishment line, the greater the consumption.
Often when the granary in one place is empty, the grain in the granary in another place must be dispatched.
In the process of escorting food, the civilian husbands consumed more food than the lieutenant soldiers.
For example, if one hundred thousand shi of grain is transported out of Bianjing City to Tongtaiguan, the civilian husbands may have to eat half of it along the way.
If it is the rainy season, the folks will eat more food.
Even if the treasury of the Song Dynasty was full, it could not withstand such a consumption.
"Do you think they don't want a happy fight? They don't want a happy fight? The reason they didn't have a happy fight is because they didn't dare."
Sitting down at the head of Kou Ji, Gao Chuan looked at the soldiers and horses documents sent from all over the northwest, and said a word.
Hearing Gao Chugong's words, Kou Ji obviously knew the inside story, and naturally wouldn't let him go.
Immediately, Kou Ji chased after Gao Chugong and asked: "What do you mean?"
Gao Chugong said frankly: "Both sides have no certainty of winning, nor dare to lose this game, so they dare not be good at it. Therefore, the winner can only be determined through consumption, only through competition.
In the past, when I conquered Yanyun from the Great Song Dynasty, it was a pressing step by step.
The Liao people can naturally take the opportunity to plan one or two and win the war.
But this time Cao Wei conquered Yan Yun, fighting steadily, moving forward step by step.
The Liao people could not find any opportunities.
So I can only choose to go head-to-head with Cao Wei. "
Knowing the joints, Kou Ji snorted coldly, and said, "The national power of Song Dynasty is several times higher than that of Liao. Liao is competing with us for national power, and that is looking for death."
Gao Chugong dropped the papers in his hand, and said, "My Da Song's national strength is higher than that of the Liao Kingdom. I may not be able to win, but it's hard to say."
Kou Ji's brows condensed, and he looked up and said respectfully: "What do you mean by this?"
Gao Chugong sighed, and said: "I am a Song, not someone who speaks. When you encounter something, you need to discuss with the civil and military of the whole country. There are too many people, and the mind is mixed.
Some people will support Cao Wei and the Liao people, while others will naturally not support it.
As Cao Wei consumed more money in the treasury, the voice of opposition increased.
When the voice of opposition completely overwhelms the voice of support.
I am afraid that Cao Wei will not be able to continue to consume the Liao people.
On the other hand, Liao, although the national strength is not as good as my Da Song.
But the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu could decide everything in the Liao Kingdom.
As long as it is something he believes, no one can refute it.
As long as he spends his time with Cao Wei, even people in Liao will have to support him. "
Kou Ji's brows became tighter when he heard Gao Chu Gong's words.
He knew that Gao Zi Gong was not alarmist.
He spent these years in the court hall, knowing the virtues of the officials in the court hall.
There are always some people in the court, who like to be mavericks and against other people.
For the sake of fame and credit, some people just like to do things that bloggers' eyeballs, and they like to do things that are different from others.
For example, when everyone in the government and the opposition felt that only by fighting the Liao Kingdom to the end could the Song Dynasty become prosperous and strong.
There will be different ideas in life.
They might think that only by stopping Ge, seeking peace, and letting Nanshan go, will Da Song become more prosperous and powerful.
As long as someone stands up and shouts, those who want to pursue fame and fortune will follow him closely.
This is where political opinions do not fit together.
Most party disputes are also due to this.
Some people think that the old system cannot be changed. Some people think that the new system must be implemented. Some people think that only by safeguarding the interests of the minority can the rule of Song Dynasty be strengthened. Naturally, there are also people who think that the interests of the majority can be strengthened Song's reign.
The reason they will do this is to fight for fame and fortune.
The high place respectfully saw Kou Ji frowned and fell into silence, and he asked: "After you arrived in Yinzhou, you have been constantly deploying troops and generals, and you obviously have plans for Xixia.
You have been in Yinzhou for more than a month and have been standing still. You should be waiting for the outcome of Yanyun's war.
Now that the Yanyun war has reached a deadlock, what are you going to do
To continue planning Xixia here, the class teacher will return to the court to help Cao Wei suppress those different voices. "
Hearing the words, Kou Ji glanced at the high place respectfully, and said nothing.
Gao Chu Gong said it was right.
After he arrived in Yinzhou, he had been standing still, just to wait for a result on the Yanyun battlefield.
He set off a big battle in Yinzhou, which will definitely have an impact on the Yanyun battlefield.
If Cao Wei leads people to achieve great results on the Yanyun battlefield, then he starts a war in Yinzhou, even if it has an impact, the impact will not be too great.
But if Cao Wei lost the battle on the Yanyun battlefield, he would start a big battle in Yinzhou, and he would have a huge impression, and he would have to plan again.
The Yanyun war is of utmost importance.
Kou Ji didn't want to influence the Yanyun battlefield because he started a big battle in Yinzhou.
If the war on the Yanyun battlefield is unfavorable and Kou Ji initiates a battle with Xixia in Yinzhou, all officials in the court will be caught in a panic.
The hundred officials in the court will definitely write a letter asking the court to stop fighting on one side.
The fighting on the Yanyun battlefield is likely to stop at the request of Baiguan.
Kou Ji won the war in the northwest, and Cao Wei lost the battle in the land of Yanyun. The officials would definitely ask the court to temporarily stop the war in Yanyun and negotiate peace with Liao.
The chances of the imperial court agreeing will be very high.
Because Cao Wei is constantly spending money and consuming the treasury in the land of Yanyun, but Kou Ji does not have it in the northwest.
Not only did it not consume the national treasury, but it helped the court to obtain huge war dividends.
"Cao Shuai's war in the land of Yanyun cannot be affected. I am in the northwest, and I can't easily let Xixia go."
Kou Ji said in a deep voice.
Gao Chuan respectfully stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "You should understand that once you start a war in the northwest, it is impossible for Cao Wei to not be affected."
Kou Ji looked down for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Since I can't take the initiative to start a war, I will force Xixia to take the initiative to start a war. Xixia took the initiative to start a war against my Song Dynasty. As a northwest manager, I have no reason not to defend the Song Dynasty. Territory
We are passive defense, not active offense.
Even if the war broke out, the officials in the court had nothing to say.
They can't let me hold a heavy soldier, and let the Xixia people hang up and fight, right? "
Gong Li was stunned, staring at Kou Ji in amazement: "Since you led the army to defeat the 150,000 elite in Liao, Xixia immediately shrank the soldiers and horses in the border area, and sent people to the city of Bianjing to find the official to cry. If you don’t fight with us, if you don’t take the initiative to provoke the war, how can they take the initiative to provoke the war.”
Xixia is now in front of the Song Dynasty, looking like she is stubborn to the end.
The envoy sent by Xixia to Bianjing City could not be beaten back or cursed, so that the officials at Honghe Temple were not easy to bully him.
The same goes for the border between Xixia and the Song Dynasty.
Xixia soldiers and horses ran into Song Bing when they were patrolling the border, and they took a detour.
Many Song soldiers in the northwestern border often went to see the wonders in their spare time, and they also showed off on the Song Xia border.
In the past, on the border of Song Xia, it was Song Bing who saw Xixia soldiers and horses detour. People dared to provoke Song Bing, but Song Bing did not dare to provoke them.
Now it's finally reversed, Song Bing naturally wants to find Xixia people, find a place to find a place, and make a good show of power.
Xixia, who used to be arrogant and domineering in the past, has been low-key to this point. I am afraid that Kou Ji takes the initiative to provoke, Xixia will avoid it, let alone let them take the initiative to start the war.
After Gao Chu Gong meditated, he said to Kou Ji: "You are sending people to ask them to go to war. They will not go to war. It is impossible for them to take the initiative to start a war."
Kou Ji sneered, "I already have a way, but they won't go to war with us."
Gao Chu Gong looked at Kou Ji, suspiciously: "What way?"
Kou Ji squinted his eyes, "Those newly-formed Hengshan Army, don't you envy those Hengshan Army generals who followed us in the first place?"
The heights froze for a moment and frowned, "You want to divide the land for them? But we have no land to divide. The land inside and outside the city wall is now divided by you."
Kou Ji stared at the heights and smiled: "Who said we don't have land?"
Highly staring at Kou Ji suspiciously.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The huge Xixia is our land."
The high place said in a stunned voice: "Aren't you taking the initiative to provoke the war?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's different, it's very different... When the Xixia people let the Liao people enter the country, there was no clear statement that the place belonged to the Liao people.
Now that the Liao people have been driven away, let's take back our spoils. Isn't that right
As for the territory of Xixia, which area was occupied by the Liao people, and that area was not. Is it Xixia that has the final say? "
The high place stared at Kou Ji dumbfoundedly, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Kou Ji continued: "The Xixia people and the Liao people have a nest of snakes and rats. Naturally, we can't believe their words. So the Liao people have occupied those places in Xixia, we have the final say. Those places are our trophies, and we have the final say. "
Gao Chu Gong's mouth twitched and said, "You said Xingqing Mansion belongs to you. Can Li Deming let Xingqing Mansion out for you?"
After a pause, Gao Fang said in a dumbfounded cry: "You are not a rascal."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "He won't let it, that would be better, come and hit me."
Gao Chu Gong really didn't know what to say.
Kou Ji had an idea in his mind and immediately put it into action.
Kou Ji left the Yinzhou city government office and ordered Liu Heng to summon the Hengshan army.
Two hours later, the Hengshan Army with a total of fifty thousand people appeared in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji stood on the general stage, facing all the Hengshan generals and said: "I heard that many of you are complaining about me recently."
The soldiers of the Hengshan Army stood quietly, none of them dared to speak.
Seeing this, Kou Ji continued: "You don't have to admit it, the wind has reached my ears, that must be true. You complained that I divided the land for the old Hengshan soldiers, but you didn't give it to you. Dividing land, saying that Kou Ji is unfair in doing things and is not worthy of being a manager of the Northwest."
The soldiers of the Hengshan Army were dumbfounded when they heard this.
They are talking excessively in private.
But they did not complain.
The first soldiers of the Hengshan Army who followed Kou Ji were able to divide the land because of the enemy's heads. They were exchanged for actual combat exploits, not Kou Jiping's unprovoked reward.
Every moment of the enemy's head, it was they who risked their lives to fight.
It didn't fall out of thin air.
People take the credit for life in exchange for land. What qualifications do they have to complain
As for complaining about Kou Ji's unfairness, he is not worthy of being a manager of the Northwest, that is even more nonsense.
At present, most of the soldiers in the Hengshan Army, all the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army outside Linzhou City, and all the soldiers of the Ningbian Army who are stationed in Ningbian Prefecture, all regard Kou Ji as a 10,000-born Buddha.
Everyone regarded Kou Ji as a benefactor and respected him like a Buddha. Whoever dared to blame Kou Ji would be an enemy of these people.
If someone really complains about Kou Ji, they will definitely be dragged out in the middle of the night to be beaten up, and be isolated by everyone.
When I got home, I might be beaten up by my parents.
Before leaving home, some of the soldiers who had been allocated to the land to settle their families had their parents and elders instructed them to listen to Kou Ji's words and sacrifice their lives for Kou Ji without hesitation when necessary.
Kou Ji gave them wealth, and gave them the wealth that generations can enjoy. They have nothing to repay Kou Ji, only their lives.
Therefore, no one in the army dared to blame Kou Ji.
Even if there is a complaint, it is also a complaint against himself, for not catching up with the good times, not catching up with the fight between Kou Ji and the Liao people, and missing the opportunity to become wealthy.
