Chen Lin's abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of interested people.
Some people thought that Chen Lin was on behalf of the officials and wanted to go to the Kou Mansion to be held accountable, so they sent someone to follow Chen Lin to see how Kou Ji reacted after being held accountable by Zhao Zhen.
After Chen Lin arrived at the Kou Mansion, she passed through Tongzi, entered the Kou Mansion, and walked all the way to the Kou Mansion's courtyard.
Kou Ji sat at the door of the mourning hall of the courtyard. After seeing Chen Lin, he asked suspiciously: "Why are you here? You came to see me making a joke?"
Seeing that Chen Lin was wearing an official uniform known to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the first time, she added, "Look at my joke, don't you need to be so grand, right?"
Chen Lin had no words. After he walked in front of Kou Ji, he tidied up his clothes and saluted Kou Ji respectfully.
Seeing this, Kou Ji was taken aback.
Kou Ji thought about it, guessed Chen Lin's intentions, curled his lips slightly and said: "You don't have to be so polite to me. After you die, I will definitely not lay a mourning hall for you."
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said, "But you will come to our grave during the New Year's Eve and give us a stick of incense."
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "Don't say I won't go to incense for you, even if I really ran to incense for you, it would be pitiful to see you, no one will care about you after you die, for fear that you will become a lonely ghost. ."
Chen Lin said faintly: "As long as you give our family incense, we don't care if you pity our family, or run to our grave and ruin our family."
At this point, Chen Lin handed Zhao Zhen's imperial pen to Kou Ji.
"The official gave it to Kou Zhong."
Kou Ji held Zhao Zhen's imperial pen, took a closer look, and smiled bitterly: "What is the fun of the official family?"
Chen Lin said frankly: "The officials are also afraid that you will be scolded too badly by others."
Kou Ji looked back at the mourning hall, "If I am afraid of being scolded, I won't put this mourning hall."
Chen Lin asked back: "Officials are afraid of being scolded?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "It's not that he's not afraid of being scolded, but no one dares to scold him. Calling me Kou Ji won't be hurt in any way. If you scold him, you will lose your head."
Chen Lin said frankly: "So the officials join in the fun, as long as it is good for you, there is no harm."
Kou Ji gave a wry smile and said nothing.
Chen Lin did not speak any more, he stepped into the mourning hall and gave Kou Zhong a few incense sticks.
After leaving the mourning hall, Chen Lin asked, "The one in the hall is the son you found for Kou Zhong?"
Kou Ji bluntly said: "He found the heir to inherit the incense. I originally wanted to pick one of my brothers and put him on the line. But he seemed scared, so he decided to find one by himself."
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.
Kou Ji asked, "Is there a problem?"
Chen Lin suspiciously said: "If he is not scared, he didn't find one by himself. Would you choose one of your younger brothers and give him a linen and filial piety?"
Kou Ji frankly said: "I Kou Ji is also a face-to-face person. Since I have made a promise, I will definitely honor it."
Chen Lin thought about it and said, "After our family is dead, can you choose one of your younger brothers and give our family a piece of hemp and filial piety?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I will let Kou Tianci go and put on the linen and filial piety for you, do you dare to bear it?"
Chen Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "When our family didn't say it."
After Chen Lin's death, if Kou Tianci really asked Kou Tianci to drape Chen Lin, Chen Lin would be able to come alive.
Kou Tianci is Zhao Zhen's godson, Princess Baoqing's horse, and Chen Lin's master.
Kou Tianci puts on the linen and wears filial piety, Chen Lin can't bear it.
After Kou Ji frightened Chen Lin for a while, he said, "Don't even think about my brothers. For the sake of our many years of friendship, after you die, I can pick you an orphan and take it under your name and give it to you. Put on the linen and wear the filial piety, and help you inherit the incense of the Chen family."
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said, "We will talk about this when our family is about to die."
As Zhao Zhen's loyal servant, Chen Lin was afraid that Kou Ji would use the help of his stepchildren and grandchildren to coerce him, so he did not agree to this matter.
Kou Ji guessed Chen Lin's thoughts, but did not expose the matter.
Kou Ji accompanied Chen Lin and said some unnutritious things, and asked Chen Lin to leave Kou Mansion.
After Chen Lin left, something about the word'loyal servant' given to Kou Zhong by Zhao Zhen was also spread out like a gust of wind.
Overnight, the rumors that criticized and accused Kou Ji disappeared.
Instead, he praised Kou Ji for his love, and praised Zhao Zhen for his appreciation of Zhongliang.
A few days after Kou Zhong stayed in the Kou Mansion, Kou Ji ordered his servants to carry Kou Zhong's bones out of Bianjing City, and buried Kou Zhong on a high mountain outside Bianjing City.
That mountain, Kojte was looking for someone to see, it was a treasure of geomantic omen.
After the ancestral graves of Kou Zhun's ancestors moved over, they would be buried on the mountain.
After Kou Zhun died, he would also be buried on the mountain.
That high mountain will become Kou's new ancestral grave in the future.
The reason why I chose to be on the mountain instead of on the flat ground is to prevent the Yellow River from bursting its banks and soaking the tomb.
After Kou Zhong was buried, the turmoil caused by Kou Zhong in Bianjing gradually dissipated.
Not a few days have passed.
Kou Zhun, Kou Li, and Kou Ji left Bianjing City together and went to Huazhou. After paying homage to the Kou ancestors, they moved all their corpses outside Bianjing City.
Lu Ming took care of it in advance. After Kou Zhun and Kou Ji arrived, they simply worshipped, and then returned to Bianjing with the corpse of the ancestor.
During the period, those elders in Huazhou also stopped Kou Zhun and Kou Ji and asked for benefits again.
Kou Zhun was too lazy to talk to them, so he handed the matter to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji responded to the demands of those elders.
As long as those clan elders can bring up, Kou Ji can do almost everything.
Including their excessive request to let a middle-aged person from the clan take up an important position in Shaanxi Province, Kou Ji also agreed.
After Kou Ji transported the bones of the Kou family's ancestors back to Bianjing, where they were buried securely.
Kou Ji decisively transferred Duanzhou Zhizhou Bao Zheng to Huazhou to serve as the Zhizhou.
Before Bao Zheng rushed to take office, Kou Ji also specially sent someone to tell Bao Zheng, let Bao Zheng let his hands and feet do things, don't care about anyone's attitude.
Bao Zheng is not a stupid person, and he naturally understands the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
According to Kou Ji, once the people of Kou in Washington State make a mistake, he will never hesitate.
After Kou's private affairs are handled properly.
It's the end of the year.
The battle between the Black Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom to conquer the Uighurs in Xizhou is coming to an end.
Newspapers about the Uighur war in Xizhou frequently entered Bianjing.
Inside Shishi Hall.
Zhao Zhen handed a memorial to Chen Lin, and after instructing Chen Lin to pass it to Lu Yijian, he said in a deep voice: "The battle between the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom against the Uighurs in Xizhou is similar to what we expected.
After they conquered Gaochang together, they rushed to Guigukou together, preparing to attack Xizhou Uyghur Northern Court from both sides and do not lose sight of it.
Our 10,000 soldiers and horses sent by the Song Dynasty played an important role in preventing the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom from attacking the Uighurs in Xizhou. "
After carefully reviewing the memorandum, Lu Yijian nodded and said: "Guerrilla general Gao Yi and supervising army Zhang Fangping, with 10,000 people and some firearms, can block nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses for half a month.
It can be seen that both of them are rare talents. "
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I know Gao Yi. Before the battle at Yangguan in Hexi, Gao Yi emerged and I remembered him. Who is Zhang Fangping? This time they can withstand 800,000 Black Khan and Liao. Thanks to Zhang Fangping’s design of a trap in advance, the Allied Forces of the Hei Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom entered Guigukou, killing more than 30,000 people, and deterring the Allied Forces of the Hei Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Gui Guguchi was delayed for half a month.
It can be said that Zhang Fangping played an important role in the Battle of Oni Taniguchi.
How come I haven't heard of such a talent before. "
After Zhao Zhen said this, Wang Zeng slowly said, "Zhang Fangping is a Maocai who was born in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and he was a judge in Muzhou.
The minister heard that Song Shou, the prefect of Ying Tianfu, mentioned this person and tried to give it a try.
He was placed in the army that went to Xizhou Uighurs to rush to help, and he was put to the test. "
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "In this way, this person can withstand the test, and he is considered a good talent. When he is still in the future, he will be given a knowledge of the state, and then he will be tempered.
Wang Aiqing and Song Shou, the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, contributed 100,000 yuan to their talents. "
Wang Zeng arched his hands and said, "Thank you for the reward from the officials."
Zhao Zhen said again: "Gao Yi was not lightly injured in the Gui Gukou Battle. After he returns to the court, he will be awarded to the general of the Shaanxi government and let him stay there for a few years."
Lu Yijian and Kou Jiqi all agreed.
"Hey..."
Gao Yi belongs to the Forbidden Army, and if he is sent to the local government as a military attache, he needs the Privy Council and the inner court together.
Zhao Zhen made the matter arbitrarily and did not give Lu Yijian and Kou Ji a chance to discuss, so the two of them could only agree.
After Zhao Zhen's voice landed, Zhang Zhibai said solemnly: "Xizhou Uyghur Khan is really an idiot. My Da Song almost killed 10,000 soldiers and bought him time to escape.
He didn't flee to Da Song directly, but stayed in Yizhou halfway through the escape, ready to do another fight. "
Lu Yijian snorted coldly: "He won't give up until the Yellow River, but he wasted the hard work and lives of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said nothing.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "He is the lord of one party at any rate. Before he is completely defeated, he will certainly not be willing to become a subjugated slave. He is halfway through the escape, staying in Illinois, ready to make one last fight, which is understandable.
But I paid the price of blood for nearly 10,000 soldiers and won the opportunity for him to escape, but he didn't cherish it, so he had to give me an explanation. "
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Kou Ji bluntly said: "I will then give an order to Chong Shiheng, let him lead the fifty thousand towns of the Western Army, go to Yizhou to ask about the Xizhou Uighur Khan."
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Will this move be a bit dangerous? If Chong Shiheng led the Zhenxi Army to Yizhou, would the Liao soldiers just hit the city of Yizhou?"
Kou Ji analyzed: "Xizhou Uyghur Khan, since he is going to make the last fight in Yizhou, he will definitely deploy troops in the necessary positions and benefits of the Liao soldiers.
Xizhou Uighur's soldiers and horses can be less than a million soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty for decades, and they are still somewhat capable.
The post and benefits were given to Liao by the king of the Black Khan Yusufu.
Therefore, the soldiers and horses who attacked Nazhan and Yidu should be the soldiers and horses of Liao.
The Xizhou Uighur soldiers and horses certainly did not have the strength to defeat the Liao State, but it was still possible to block the Liao soldiers for ten and a half months.
Zhong Shiheng led the Zhenxi Army to go to Yizhou, but it didn't take so long. "
Lu Yijian said solemnly, "But it will take a lot of time for us to pass the news to Chong Shiheng."
Kou Ji frowned and said: "The official road in Hexi has been repaired. Starting from Bianjing, it takes 800 miles to expedite. If day and night, the shortest should be five days. There are five days left, so Shiheng leads the army to be simple. If you rush to Yizhou, you should be able to make a round trip."
Wang Zeng asked, "Why did Wan Yi Shiheng meet the Liao soldiers in Yizhou?"
Kou Ji groaned: "Don't be afraid. The Liao State has sent 200,000 soldiers and horses to the Uighurs in Xizhou. In the process of taking the Uighurs in Xizhou, a lot of them should have been damaged. Then they will send some guards to conquer the forces. The city of the Uighurs in Xizhou. The number of soldiers and horses that can be sent to the battlefield in Iraq should not exceed 60,000.
The Western Army of 50,000 Towns, against 60,000 Liao soldiers, can stand and win. "
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Kou Ji added another sentence, "Half of the soldiers in the western army in the town have been replaced with firearms."
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng stared at each other for a moment, staring at Kou Ji and asking.
"Can be equipped with artillery?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "The artillery in all armies was the first to be fully equipped, and so did the Zhenxi Army. The Zhenxi Army has three thousand artillerymen, of which 1,000 are in charge of general cannons, and every five people are in charge of one general cannon; two; Thousands of people shook the sky, and ten people had a stunned cannon.
Each of the general cannons was also equipped with ten auxiliary soldiers.
At present, among the Forbidden Army, only the artillery with the general cannon is equipped with auxiliary troops. "
The general cannon in Kou Ji's mouth was a red cannon that had been further optimized.
After seeing the power of the artillery, Zhao Zhen decisively gave the two artillery new names.
Therefore, the artillery in the army now has a new name.
Although the red artillery was equipped with wheels for the convenience of transportation, the red artillery was very heavy and it was still inconvenient to transport. Therefore, when Kou Ji set up the artillery, he specially equipped them with auxiliary troops.
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng did not care about the transportation of artillery, nor did they care about the name of the artillery.
They only care about whether the Zhenxi Army is equipped with artillery, and whether there are enough artillery.
Hearing Kou Ji's answer, they also let out a sigh of relief.
They have seen the power of artillery.
They know that artillery has the power to change the battlefield pattern and win more with less.
So after hearing that Kou Ji had equipped the Zhenxi Army with more than a hundred artillery, they no longer worried that Chong Shiheng led the Zhenxi Army to Yizhou. After encountering the Liao soldiers, they would lose the battle.
"Since the Zhenxi Army is equipped with enough artillery, let Zhong Shiheng go to Yizhou."
After Lv Yijian and Wang knew that Zhong Shiheng had enough strength to fight against the Liao soldiers, they all agreed with Kou Ji's ideas.
Zhang Zhibai pondered on one side and said: "The old man is not worried that Chong Shiheng will run into the Liao soldiers when they arrive in Yizhou. After several times of sorting out the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness has greatly improved.
When the difference in the number of soldiers and horses is not too great, even without the help of artillery.
My Dasong Forbidden Army can also fight Liaobing.
The old man is worried that the Xizhou Uighur Khan is unwilling to easily sue me. "
Kou Ji said coldly: "Since I sent Zhong Shiheng with soldiers and horses, I didn't plan to talk to him. If he is witty, after seeing my Da Song soldiers and horses, he will bring money and people along with him. My soldiers and horses of Song Dynasty are back.
If he is ignorant, then I will let Chong Shiheng destroy him and his people and bring back the money. "
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng looked at each other and said nothing.
Zhang Zhibai gave a wry smile and sighed: "You Kou Ji will always be so cruel to outsiders."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "We are not good people, nor are my sons born in Song Dynasty. We should be rewarded if we pay the price.
If the other party does not give back, then we can only smash their bowls and grab them from their bowls. "
Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not say anything against it.
The Xizhou Uighur Khan, wasted the chance of escape that Song had won for him, and had to die once.
Then he should die.
Zhang Zhibai thought it should be how Kou Ji dispatched Zhong Shiheng to deal with him in the past.
Zhang Zhibai smiled bitterly because he felt that Kou Ji acted too arrogantly and overbearingly.
Acting like this, sooner or later Da Song will have no friends.
Zhao Zhen resolutely said: "Then pass the order to Chong Shiheng."
Kou Ji arched his hands: "Here..."
After agreeing to settle the matter, Zhao Zhen ordered everyone to leave.
Kou Ji left the palace and rushed to the Privy Council. He wrote a document and affixed half of the military seal, and then sent someone to send the document to the palace, allowing Zhao Zhen to affix the other half of the military seal.
After the military seal was complete, Kou Ji ordered the documents to be sent to Hexi.
In the border of Shazhou under the rule of Hexi Mansion, thousands of miles away from Bianjing.
Zhong Shiheng ordered the general of the Zhenxi Army to assemble 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight the frontiers and wait for it.
The battle flag was hunting in the cold wind.
A tent is tied to the ground like a nail.
The soldiers at the gate, one by one, wrapped tightly guarding the door.
Like an old farmer, Li Di thrust his hands into his sleeves, holding a sheep's whip in his arms, driving a group of sheep, and walking into the gate.
Behind Li Di, Du Yan led a group of sub-ya servants and soldiers, pushing a wheelbarrow, the carts were filled with sheepskin bags, and the leather bags were filled with dried fruits.
Li Di drove the sheep to the doorway and was stopped by the guards.
Li Di didn't rely on his identity to forcibly enter.
He just told the guard at the gate to go in and let it out.
It didn't take long.
Wearing a large cloak, Zhong Shiheng led the soldiers, and hurried to the door of the Yuan.
After seeing Li Di, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "It's very cold, you don't always lie on the warm kang in the house. What are you doing here?"
Li Di inserted the shepherd's whip to his waist, stroked his snow-white beard, and muttered: "The old man hasn't asked you yet. You asked the old man first. It's cold, you don't carry it in the army camp in the west of the town. What did the Zhenxi Army come to Shazhou for?"
Zhong Shiheng smiled bitterly, and said frankly: "The reason why I let the Zhenxi Army gather here is to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom from offending me after they defeated the Xizhou Uighurs. Song Bianfeng.
The second is to wait for the officials and soldiers to rush to Yizhou quickly. "
Li Di questioned: "Why do you expect that the official will issue a decree to send you troops to Iraq."
Zhong Shiheng smiled and said, "I don't dare to guess the thoughts of officials. But I can still guess one or two of Kou's thoughts. He is the kind of person who doesn't like to suffer.
This time, our Great Song Dynasty sent nearly 10,000 soldiers to aid the Xizhou Uighurs, in order to give the Xizhou Uighur Khan time to escape.
But the old boy stopped halfway when he fled.
Also intends to do the last fight with Liaobing in Yizhou.
He was defeated, and all the money and people in his hand belonged to the Liao people.
My Da Song lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, but didn't get anything.
Can Shumi Kou be willing
With the secret temperament of the prince Kou, I will surely let me go to Yizhou before the Liao soldiers rushed to Yizhou and ask for the money and people in the hands of the Xizhou Uighur Khan. "
Li Di squeezed his chin and nodded, and said, "You're right, those grandparents are the masters who don't suffer. One is more difficult to serve than the other."
When Zhong Shiheng heard the words, he laughed and said: "You might have guessed how the actions of the Xizhou Uyghur Khan will be transmitted to Bianjing City, how Bianjing City will react.
So when I assembled the troops, you didn't say anything. "
Li Di curled his lips and said nothing.
Zhong Shiheng continued: "It's just that you send these sheep to reward the soldiers, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Bah..."
Li Di spit out unceremoniously: "Rewarding soldiers? That's what officials can do. How can an old man commit taboos when he has been an official for many years.
The old man sent sheep and some dried fruits over, purely pitiful for the dolls who are about to go out.
I want them to have a meal of mutton and a bowl of mutton soup before they leave for the expedition.
Then bring some dried fruits to eat on the road. "
Zhong Shiheng asked, "What's the difference between that and rewarding soldiers?"
Li Di stared, "You can't eat the old man's things for nothing. When you get to Yizhou, you can get some benefits, so you have to save some for Hexi."
Zhong Shiheng frowned slightly, "Nowadays, the Forbidden Army has extremely strict military discipline. It is a serious crime to distribute and seize it without permission from the Privy Council."
Li Di disdainfully said: "I don't want Xizhou Huihu's money and cattle, sheep and horses."
Zhong Shiheng said suspiciously: "Then what do you want?"
Li Di curled his lips and said: "The old man is thinking about it. After the Xizhou Uighurs are destroyed, the women of the Xizhou Uighurs will definitely become homeless and poor people. The old man has no other strengths, just kindness, and can't see the poor people. .
If you have spare capacity, bring them all back.
The old man finds a man for them in Hexi to help them warm their bed and save them from freezing to death. "
When Zhong Shiheng heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Seeing this, Li Di stared at Chong Shiheng and said, "Why, do you want to be kind?"
Chong Shiheng shook his head decisively and said, "I heard that the people in Shazhou have now married three wives and concubines. Wouldn't it be appropriate to find them again?"
Li Di rolled his eyes and said, "Those guys in Shazhou are not short of women. But the men who have migrated from Guazhou, Suzhou, Xiliang and other places are not short of women.
If you don't find a wife for them, they will probably rent a wife.
If the wind of renting a wife prevails in Hexi, the kid Kou Ji must not sarcasm the old man. "
