Kou Ji waited in Bianjing for five days, and Gegewu and his party rushed to Bianjing.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and the once-green young man has matured a lot.
When facing Kou Ji, he was less arrogant and more respectful.
Kou Mansion, inside the greenhouse.
Kou Ji sat on the soft chair and carefully looked at the young man standing in front of him.
The young man made a Han salute to Kou Ji in a proper manner.
Kou Ji smiled when he saw this, "Don't come here unharmed?"
Gegewu squeezed a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Private Toko's blessing, everything is fine."
Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in a few years. You can speak our Chinese proficiency, and you can also use our Chinese ritual proficiently. It seems that you have done a lot of hard work in this regard."
Ge Gewu smiled faintly: "People in the Song Dynasty naturally have to learn to speak Chinese and practice Han rituals. The Song Dynasty is the most powerful country in this land. If you don’t understand the language and etiquette of the Song Dynasty, you will be here. It’s hard to move on the land."
Kou Ji smiled brightly and said: "Then you have to study hard, my Da Song's culture is extensive and profound. If you don't work hard, even if you know all the words of my Da Song, you may not understand what they mean when they are connected. ."
Ge Gewu nodded and said, "I have a deep understanding of this."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "You go to see the battle in Jiao Chi. I thought I would be back in a year or a half, but I didn't expect you to go there for a few years."
Ge Gewu confessed: "The war in the Song Dynasty is very different from our war in Baghdad. It is difficult to find the key to it just by looking at it with two eyes. Only by participating in it can we understand the war in the Song Dynasty. The point is."
Gegewu knew in his heart that some of what he had done in Jiao Ji could not be concealed from Ko Ji, so he did not hide it in front of Ko Ji, but frankly told Ko Ji that he had participated in the battle of Jiao Ji.
Kou Ji saw that Ge Ge Wu was so confessed, and he did not sell it. "I heard that you lost to an unknown pirate?"
Ge Gewu sighed and stared at Kou Ji quietly: "They are probably not pirates. They have firearms unique to Song Dynasty. As far as I know, firearms of Song Dynasty are never sold to outsiders, so they must return them. Have other identities."
Koj laughed and did not explain the matter.
Since Kou Ji sent someone to build artillery for Cao, he never thought that this matter could be concealed from Grid Witch.
He was going to tell Ge Gewu that on the territory of Song Dynasty and the territory of Song Dynasty, it was the dragon who was holding it and the tiger was lying on its stomach.
Without Da Song's permission, anything that goes against Da Song's interests will cost him a painful price.
Kou Ji did not continue to discuss this topic with Gege Wu, he asked: "After several years of fierce battle, what do you think?"
Ge Gewu pondered for a moment, and said: "The battle of the Song Dynasty is full of wisdom. The kings of Baghdane are still relying on their personal bravery to dominate the battlefield. The Song Dynasty has already understood how to win on the battlefield through wisdom.
It was right that Shimi Kou told me to study the art of war of the Song Dynasty.
I have fought fiercely in Jiaozhi for many years, but still do not understand the wisdom of the Great Song War.
So I hope to find a gentleman who understands the art of war in the capital of Song Dynasty and teach me the art of war.
For this, I can pay some price. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "This matter is not in a hurry. You know what I want. As long as you give me what I want, I will naturally send someone to teach you the art of war. You should have read a lot of books on art of war, but you always It's hard to understand the deep meaning, right?"
Ge Gewu hesitated and nodded.
Kou Ji continued with a smile: "The books of war strategy that you can buy on the market are either too shallow and useless, or too deep for you to understand.
In addition, some key things have been passed down from generation to generation by the generals of my Da Song. You cannot see them on the market, let alone buy them.
As for the generals of the Song Dynasty, everything is in my hands. So if you want to learn my Da Song's art of war, you must pass my level.
I can tell you responsibly, without me nodding, you would not be able to learn the essence of warfare in my Da Song Dynasty. "
Gegewu seemed to have expected this a long time ago, so after Kou Ji finished speaking, there was not much embarrassment or disappointment on his face.
He stared at Kou Ji and said, "I will send someone back to Baghdad when I turn around and bring you what you want."
Kou Ji waved his hand and smiled: "No hurry, this matter can be discussed in the long term. I want to know more now, is my Da Song's soldiers strong or weak in your eyes?"
Ge Gewu sternly said: "The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty equipped with firearms, in my eyes, are the strongest soldiers and horses in the world. Song Dynasty has the ability and strength to reach Baghdad. If Priest Kou wants to go to Baghdad in person, take a look If the style of the Baghdad Wisdom Hall, I can lead the way for you."
Hearing this, Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a laugh: "Are you not afraid to lead wolves into the room?"
Ge Ge Wu said solemnly: "Baghdad is too far away for the Song. After the Song has captured Baghdad, it is impossible to occupy Baghdad for a long time. The Caliph and I can replace the Song in charge of Baghdad. Every year we can send envoys and send a large number of them. Slaves and gold and silver to the Song Dynasty."
Hearing this, Kou Ji glanced at Ge Gewu with a deep meaning.
It seems that Ge Gewu has a deep understanding of the culture of the Song Dynasty. He knows that Song people seldom care about the land outside the Central Plains. He also knows that the Central Plains dynasty is more accustomed to supporting an obedient person on a territory beyond its reach.
Ge Gewu was willing to be the obedient person, but Song wanted to act as a thug for him.
"My Da Song is now unable to conquer Baghdad, because we have two powerful enemies to deal with right now. One of them is the Liao Kingdom, and the other is the Black Khan Dynasty that you are familiar with."
"Black Khan Dynasty? Kara Khan?"
Ge Ge Wu was a little surprised.
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Ge Gewu frowned and said, "Kara Khan's eyes have been staring at the west, why did they suddenly look at the east?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Because Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu invited the Black Khan King Yusufu to attack me, and wanted to divide my Song Dynasty. The Black Khan King Yusufu probably didn't know me before, and didn't care about me. Da Song. But now the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu told him that I, Da Song, was very rich and willing to assemble a large number of soldiers and horses with him, and attack my Da Song from the east and the west.
The Black Khan King Yusufu had no reason to refuse. "
Ge Ge Wu frowned and remained silent.
Kou Ji continued: "The Black Khan King Yusufu has assembled a million soldiers and horses and arrived at the border Shazhou of the Song Dynasty. The Black Khan Dynasty was a subject of Baghdad before. You, as the envoy of Baghdad, should know that Some details of the Khan Dynasty.
I want to know how many soldiers and horses my Da Song needs to defeat the millions of soldiers of the Black Khan King Yusufu. "
Ge Gewu pondered for a moment, and said, "At least 300,000! Although Karahan Yusufu has a million troops in his hands, perhaps the elite who can compete with the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty should be only about 300,000.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty had to dispatch 300,000 elite soldiers to compete with Karahan Yusufu. "
Kou Ji stared at Grid and said, "I have prepared 150,000 elite soldiers and 130,000 auxiliary soldiers."
Ge Gewu frowned, "If there are only 150,000 elite soldiers, it will be very difficult for Da Song to win."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It will take some time, but in the end, Da Song will win."
Ge Gewu said in a puzzled way: "The gap between the forces of the two sides is very large. Why does Priscilla Kou think that Song Dynasty will win?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "My Song Dynasty sent 150,000 elite soldiers to station on the border to fight against the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty. It took ten, 20, and 30 years, and it would not have any impact on my Song. influences.
We have tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, so it is easy to support a 150,000 elite soldier.
Even if the 150,000 elite soldiers are exhausted in the course of the battle, our Da Song can send another 150,000 elite soldiers to station on the border.
So back and forth, a steady stream.
The Black Khan Dynasty is different.
The millions of soldiers and horses led by the Black Khan King Yusufu are all the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.
The subjects of the Black Khan dynasty have difficulty supporting them.
They used the method of fighting to support war.
As long as I, Da Song, can stop their soldiers and consume them.
They will eventually be consumed. "
Gegewu has been on the battlefield and knows the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
In fact, it is not only the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan dynasty who use the method of fighting to feed the war.
Most of the dynasty soldiers and horses under the control of the Caliphs in Baghdad mostly used the method of raising war through war.
Such a fighting method is naturally hopeless and unprofitable in the West.
But in the East, it suffers very much.
Ge Gewu was in Jiao Chi before, and he used the method of fighting to nurture war.
In the early stage of the battle against the Annan Army and the Jiaozhi Army, the method of raising the war through war is very applicable.
But after confronting the soldiers and horses used by Cao, the drawbacks of using war to support war became apparent.
After the soldiers and horses Cao used suffered a loss, he would make a comeback after a little rectification.
Ke Ge Wu's soldiers and horses will experience a huge decline after experiencing a big defeat.
It is impossible for Gegewu to make a comeback.
This is because they are fighting for war, and if they cannot win on the battlefield, it will be difficult for soldiers and horses to make ends meet.
The follow-up is weak and it is difficult to make a comeback.
Kou Ji bluntly said that he would fight a war of attrition with the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.
Kou Ji claimed that the Great Song would spend ten, twenty, and thirty years with the soldiers of the Black Khan Dynasty.
Ke Gewu knew that if Kou Ji really wanted to fight the war of attrition with the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, as long as Kou Ji could prevent the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty from getting any spoils from the war, then within a year and a half, the Black Khan Dynasty The army will fall apart.
If it really takes ten or twenty years.
The Great Song is still the Great Song, but the Black Khan Dynasty will disappear from the world.
Kou Ji saw that Ge Gewu was lost in thought, and he smiled and said: "So, the victory of the war ultimately belongs to my Da Song. You have been in Da Song for a few years, so I should know some of my temper.
I have never spared those enemies who offend my Da Song.
Therefore, once my Da Song and the Black Khan dynasty go to war, I will not only defeat them, but also drag them and bury them in the territory of my Da Song. "
Hearing this, Gegewu's pupils shrank slightly, "Are you going to wipe out the Kara Khanate with a million soldiers and horses?!"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "No? Don't you think I don't have that strength in Da Song?"
Ge Gewu hesitated, "Yes, there are, but..."
Kou Ji slowly put away the smile on his face, staring at Grid Wu said: "It's just annihilation of a million soldiers and horses, a little shocking?"
Ge Ge Wu nodded slowly.
Kou Ji said sternly: "I said, I don't think I will spare any enemy who offends my Da Song. Since the Black Khan Dynasty dares to offend my Da Song, it will pay the price of blood."
Gegewu was a little shocked by Kou Ji's words. He hesitated and said: "So, you hurriedly asked me to return to Bianjing. Do you want me to help you?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "In name, the Black Khan Dynasty belongs to your Baghdad. The people in the Black Khan Dynasty believe in the same god as you. If you are willing to help me, my Da Song should win the victory faster. ."
Ge Gewu hesitated.
Standing next to him, the old Hatuk, who had been unable to straighten his waist, suddenly coughed.
Gegewu was taken aback for a moment, staring at Kou Ji and said: "I can send someone to help you spread the news that you are a divine envoy among the Karahan soldiers and horses. Some faithful believers in the Karahan soldiers and horses are likely to be biased towards you. But I can't help you personally.
Because I don't have enough strength to protect myself.
You will not allow me to recruit people in your Da Song. "
Kou Ji frowned, "If you don't want to help me personally, then your desire to learn the art of war will probably fail."
Ge Gewu said solemnly: "I can send someone to bring the remaining two-thirds of the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall and give them to you. I just ask you to allow me to learn the art of war of the Song Dynasty."
"Two-thirds?"
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said with a displeased expression: "If you can really bring the remaining two-thirds of the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall to me. Then I can consider letting people teach you the art of war.
But apart from those books, you must offer enough bundle repairs. "
Ge Gewu resolutely said: "I will offer tuition at that time."
Hearing this, Kou Ji stopped talking, he told Lu Ming: "Send them down to rest."
Lu Ming agreed and made a gesture of please to Ge Gewu.
Gege Witch bowed to Koj and took Hatuk away from Koj.
After Ge Ge Wu left.
A thick smile appeared on Kou Ji's face, "Jiang is still hot, and this is true. Gegewu hasn't discovered the key to the battle between Da Song and the Black Khan dynasty, but Old Hatuk discovered first. .
That's fine, it saves me more time and effort.
If I say too much or too obvious, it will inevitably be understood as having ulterior motives, but it is not beautiful. "
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief and said, "The chess that should be played is also over, it's time to leave for Hexi."
Speaking of Hu, Kou Ji got up and went to the backyard to see his wife and children.
He is about to go to Hexi soon. Once he goes, he doesn't know how long it will take to return to Beijing, so he should accompany his wife and children.
Just when Kou Ji went to the backyard.
Ge Ge Wu has taken Hatuk out of Kou Mansion.
Under the leadership of Lu Ming, they rushed to a house in Bianjing.
After arriving at the house and sending off Lu Ming, Ge Gewu couldn't help but ask Khatuk, "Why did you stop me? You should understand what power Kou Ji holds
Needless to say, the power he has on the surface.
The power he holds secretly is very powerful.
If we can win his favor, we may be able to use his power to return to Baghdad and help the Caliph regain his power. "
Hatuk humbly saluted Gegewu, "The Song people have a saying that it is better to ask for yourself than for others. You only saw the power of Kou Ji, but you ignored the great Song and Kara Khanate war, which brought us Opportunity."
Grid Wu looked at Hatuk suspiciously.
Hatuk said in a deep voice: "King Karahan led a million army to attack Da Song. Da Song obviously will fight to the end with King Kara Khan. In this way, there are not many soldiers and horses guarding Kara Khan.
Although the Kara Khanate has been out of the control of the Caliph, the subjects of the Kara Khanate still believe in our god.
We also have a soldier and horse hidden in the border of the Kara Khanate.
As long as we bring troops and horses to take advantage of the vacancy, we will win the capital of the Kara Khanate.
Prove your distinguished status to the Karahanite subjects.
Up and down the Kara Khanate will surely surrender to your feet. "
Gegewu’s eyes lit up, "We can take a nation without any effort. As long as we learn the Song people’s way of leading soldiers, and then obtain the method of forging firearms from Kou Ji’s hands, we can rely on ourselves. The power of the empire fought back to Baghdad and re-entrusted the Caliph to the throne."
Khatuk solemnly said: "Maybe at that time, you will be the new caliph."
When Ge Ge Wu heard this, his mind instantly became active.
Grid said: "We still have to help Kou Ji, we must spare no effort to help. Only by helping Kou Ji, let Kou Ji drag the Karakhan King, we have the opportunity to do everything we want to do in Karakhan."
Hatuk nodded solemnly.
Ge Gewu said with bright eyes: "We have been fighting in Jiaozhi for many years, but we have not been able to win a country. Now we can easily win a country."
Hatuk said: "Song people have said that good luck makes people foolish."
Ge Gewu shook his head and said: "It is not good fortune to fool people, but we picked the wrong place from the beginning. The Song Dynasty is powerful, and the monarchs of the Song Dynasty are also overbearing. They will never allow us to move the meat on their plates.
Cochin should be the meat they have been eyeing for a long time.
So from the moment we enter Jiaozhi, we are doomed to fail.
Kara Khanate is different, it is far from the Song Dynasty.
For Song Dynasty, that was a place beyond reach.
Da Song won't worry about it, so if we seek the Kara Khanate, Da Song should not take action.
As long as the Song Dynasty does not target us, we can successfully win the Kara Khanate. "
Hatuk had no words, bowed and stood beside Gegewu.
Ge Gewu muttered to himself for a while, and solemnly said to Khatuk: "Hatuk, we can't stay in the capital of the Song Dynasty, we should rush to the border of the Kara Khanate as soon as possible."
Hatuk said solemnly: "We can't leave yet. Kou Ji is still in Bianjing City. He will watch our every move. We must wait for him to leave Bianjing City before we can leave."
Grid Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and sighed: "You are right, I am too impatient."
Speaking of this, Gegewu looked at Khatuk and said: "Although we can't leave Bianjing city, we can send people to send orders to the soldiers and horses far away from the border of the Kara Khanate, so that they can send some people to Kara. Khan's spy on the reality."
"I'll do it right away."
"..."
Just when Gegewu was preparing for his future career.
Kou Ji is talking about a very important thing with Kou Tianci.
Kou Mansion.
backyard.
attic.
After Kou Ji sent Kou Hui, Kou Tianci entered the attic with a solemn expression.
Seeing Kou Tianci's expression more solemn than ever, Kou Ji sighed and said, "Are you in trouble again?"
Kou Tianci slowly shook his head.
Kou Ji sat up straight, staring at Kou Tianci in surprise and said: "That is to know that I am going to Hexi, so I can't bear it?"
Kou Tianci was stunned for a moment, and questioned: "Father, are you going to Hexi?"
Kou Ji's face turned black at once.
He lay on the soft couch again, staring lazily at Kou Tianci, and said, "You really... don't care about your father at all."
Kou Tianci hesitated for a while and asked, "Father, what are you going to do in Hexi?"
Kou Ji yawned and said, "Play..."
Kou Tianci's eyes lit up and asked, "Can you take me."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "No!"
Kou Tianci looked sad.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "Tell me, what can I do."
When Kou Tianci heard this, a solemn expression appeared on his face again. He stared at Kou Ji and solemnly said: "I want to get a sum of money from the house."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "As much as you want, go to the accountant to pick it up by yourself, don't bother me."
Kou Tianci said seriously: "But Mr. Accountant said that if you want to withdraw more than 100,000 Guans, you and your mother need to nod. I dare not go there, so I can only find you."
"Puff..."
Kou Ji instantly squirted out the tea he had just drunk into his mouth, staring at Kou Tianci and said, "How much?!"
Kou Tianci solemnly said: "Hundred thousand Guans!"
Kou Ji sat up straight again, staring at Kou Tianci and said, "Do you know how many 100,000 Guans are? Do you know how many 100,000 Guans can buy back from Bianjing City?"
Kou Tianci was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Probably know some."
Kou Ji stared, "Since you know, then you dare to open your mouth?"
Kou Tianci sternly said: "I have an urgent need!"
Kou Ji banged on the desktop with his fingers and said faintly: "As you are, few people in Bianjing City should dare to think badly about you. If you get into trouble, others will either take the initiative to admit counsel, or take the initiative to come to you, no May make you spend money.
Those things worth more than 100,000 Guans in Bianjing are all controlled by the powerful.
If you see one of them, they will either take the initiative to send it to the door or send someone over to breathe me.
Therefore, as long as you are in the city of Bianjing, you should not encounter things that cost one hundred thousand guan. "
Hearing this, Kou Tianci hurriedly said, "I really need it!"
Kou Ji stared at Kou Tianci and said, "One hundred thousand cans is a lot of money. I need a reason."
Kou Tianci said with a serious face: "I want to save people."
Kou Ji raised his brows, "Who?"
Kou Tianci hesitated, "a group of poor people."
