Di Qing nodded and smiled: "They are too big. After they left Shazhou, they ran all the way to here. I didn't play much, just put a pocket array, and they took the initiative to get in."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "There are a lot of them. It's enough for the Black Khan King Yusufu and Xiao Pidi to feel distressed for a while."
Kou Jice immediately went ahead, the Yongxing army generals and local soldiers took the initiative to give way and let Kou Ji go with him.
Although Kou Ji did not reveal his identity, the Yongxing Army generals and local soldiers had already guessed who he was.
Everyone knows that Di Qing has two elder brothers.
One of them is now a rich man in Baozhou, and the other is the first man in the army of the Song Dynasty.
In Yangguan, among the army of thousands, the only person who could lead Di Qing to dismount and join him was the first man in the army of the Song Dynasty.
But as a lieutenant soldier, who would dare to say no word in front of this big man, who would dare to stand in his way.
Kou Ji rode his horse to the captive soldiers, carefully looked at the captives, and said indifferently: "The Liao soldiers are all cut off, and the heads are sent to Xiao Pidi, and the corpses are dragged out of the fat ground.
All the black sweat soldiers stayed, waiting for the people from Xiliang City to pull them all to mine. "
Di Qing looked stunned, wondering why Kou Ji only ordered the killing of the Liao soldiers, but not the Black Khan soldiers.
But he didn't ask too much, but ordered the soldiers in the army to decisively implement Kou Ji's order.
Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, because of Kou Ji's light and fluttering words, were in a different place.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty in Yangguan had seen the demon and fierceness of this demon king.
Since Kou Ji regained the Hexi, Da Song Dynasty has spread Kou Ji's wicked name, bluntly saying that Kou Ji is the demon king.
But most people do not believe this.
Because Kou Ji is in the territory of the Song Dynasty and has a lot of good reputation.
So few people believe that Kou Ji is a murderous demon.
Therefore, some new soldiers who joined the army did not believe that Kou Ji was a murderous demon.
But now that Kou Ji sent thousands of soldiers to the guillotine without blinking, they finally believed.
They not only believed that Kou Ji was a demon, but also saw the authority of the Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.
After Kou Ji ordered Di Qing to deal with the Liao soldiers in the appendix, he did not spend much time on the streets in Guancheng, but went to the place where he lived in Guancheng.
After Di Qing placed the captives in place, he appeared in Kou Ji's room with a table of not rich wine and dishes.
Di Qing put the wine and vegetables on the table, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's winter, and I'm in the army. There is nothing good to entertain my brother..."
Kou Ji didn't wait for Di Qing to finish speaking, so he interrupted him, "Let's do it. Your elder brother, I am not a difficult Lord to serve. The Lord who is really difficult to serve will not be with you because of my face. Show prestige.
You don't need to do this kind of things to please people, and you don't need to please anyone.
As long as I live, no one will embarrass you in trivial matters, you just need to fight your battles steadily. "
Di Qing also knew that he was not suitable for fawning, so he gave a wry smile.
Although he has now shown his prowess on the battlefield, he is not yet the mature and stable general Di Hanchen in the history books.
Some thoughts are easily revealed on the face and are easily seen through.
Kou Ji asked Di Qing to sit down and said faintly: "I will send someone to your army when I turn back. You help me grind it, and I will use it when I turn back."
Di Qing questioned: "Who, how to grind?"
Kou Ji glanced at Di Qing and said, "How can I grind it after being dispatched to the army? Of course, it is thrown into the army to endure hardship. If it doesn't work, hang up and smoke."
Di Qing hesitated for a moment, and said, "The person my brother wants to use must be extraordinary. Isn't it inappropriate to hang up and fight?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "There is nothing inappropriate. What he owes you is also what he owes all the martial artists of Da Song."
Di Qing looked puzzled.
Kou Ji didn't explain much. He mentioned the chopsticks, and while eating the food delivered by Di Qing, he asked, "Tell me about the war in Hexi."
Upon hearing this, Di Qing hurriedly explained the recent war in Hexi to Kou Ji.
After listening to Di Qing's explanation, Kou Ji put down his chopsticks and sighed: "The King of Black Khan Yusufu is really sturdy. He fought like this. In the end, he was either killed by Chong Shiheng or killed by you."
If the number of soldiers and horses is large, they can run wild on the battlefield.
That Da Song had already blasted the Liao Kingdom decades ago.
The number of soldiers and horses has an effect on the Eastern battlefield, but it is not absolute.
There is a big difference between wars in the East and wars in the West.
The Black Khan King Yusufu led a heavy army to the east, still using the Western style of combat, almost no different from looking for death.
Di Qing didn't understand Kou Ji's thoughts. After he heard Kou Ji's words, he questioned: "Isn't this very good? The black sweat soldier's fighting method is to eat the enemy, as long as we stand firm and clear the country, continue to drag them.
It won't take a month to bring them down.
Then we will be able to defeat them easily.
No more than two months before and after.
After beating them, we can just rush to Yanmenguan to beat some Liao people. "
Kou Ji smiled and said to Di Qing: "The battle in Hexi is far less simple than what you see. The Black Khan Dynasty is just a stupid wolf on the bright side. In the dark, there are countless smart wolves quietly. waiting time.
Now that we have started to beat wolves, we should wipe out all the wolves in one go. There is no reason to beat half and keep half.
After we have finished fighting all the wolves, it will not be too late to fight Liao. "
When Di Qing heard Kou Ji's words, he was suspicious, "Brother mean, Qingtang people are wolves hiding in the dark?"
Kou Ji asked back: "Can't you see it?"
Di Qing groaned: "You can see it, but if we quickly defeat the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, the Qingtang people may not dare to do it."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So we have to slow down the speed of fighting wolves. It's best to wait for all the wolves to emerge before we make heavy moves."
Di Qing hesitated and said: "Qingtang has been watching my Da Song for a long time, and he has been reluctant to show it because he is afraid of the toughness of my Da Song. I am afraid that I will have to wait until the Liao soldiers go south next March.
I infer that if the Liao soldiers do not go south, they will definitely not take action. "
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "You are right."
Di Qing frowned slightly and said, "But when the Liao people go south, a tendency of attack between east and west is formed, the situation will be very unfavorable for my Da Song."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The premise is that they can form a force of attack. They press against us, then it is called momentum. We press against them, then it is not called momentum."
Di Qing hesitated: "Brother is sure to keep the people of the Black Khan Dynasty until the Liao people go south, and then press and beat them."
Kou Ji stared at Di Qing and reminded: "The soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty are accustomed to fighting and raising the battle. When we haven't obtained huge seizures from the battlefield, the longer we hold them, the more disadvantaged they are.
So when the spring of next year is delayed, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty will not be afraid.
What we really guard against is the Qingtang people.
Don't look at Qingtang's superficial respect for me, Da Song, in fact, the power accumulated in Qingtang secretly has reached the point where I can wrestle with Da Song. "
Although the number of soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty was large, the shortcomings were very obvious.
As long as you catch the shortcomings of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty and poke them to death, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty will be stabbed to death sooner or later.
Qingtang soldiers and horses are different.
Qingtang was born in Tubo. As early as the heyday of Tubo, he had learned how to fight against the Central Plains and how to fight with wisdom.
Passed down from generation to generation, Qingtang soldiers and horses naturally know how to fight against Song Dynasty soldiers and horses.
Qingtang soldiers and horses are not like soldiers and horses of the Black Khan dynasty.
Qingtang soldiers and horses, immediately under the horse are all tough soldiers.
Therefore, Qingtang soldiers and horses are not easy to deal with.
Di Qing groaned: "So then you have to drag the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty and wait for the Qingtang people to take action?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Di Qing hesitated, "I still don't understand one thing."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "You ask..."
Di Qing wondered: "In the city just now, why did my brother only kill the Liao people and not the Black Khan people?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Don't kill the Khan, because the Khan is still useful."
Seeing that Di Qing was still puzzled, Kou Ji explained: "Once the Qingtang people act on my Da Song, then my Da Song will definitely give Qingtang a head-on blow. After defeating Qingtang, the people in Qingtang will definitely be right. I am hostile to Song.
It is very difficult for us to include Qingtang in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
But if we first send the black sweat soldiers into the Qingtang plow again, and then we lead the heavy troops into Qingtang and drive away the black sweat soldiers, we can easily win the hearts of the people of Qingtang. "
"Are Qingtang people so stupid?"
"It's not that the people of Qingtang are stupid, but because of the brutal Khan people and the gentle Song people, the people of Qingtang are more willing to be ruled by us."
"..."
Di Qing stared at Kou Ji and said, "We haven't defeated the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty. My brother has already begun to consider how to regain Qingtang. Isn't it too fast?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Unhappy, unhappy... I'm not afraid that Qingtang will make a move, I'm afraid that Qingtang will not make a move. If Qingtang makes a move, I will definitely let them see how good I am.
If Qingtang doesn't take action, if we want troops to enter Qingtang, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the war between Song and Liao is over.
The territory of the Liao Kingdom is vast, and once our Song Dynasty enters the Liao Kingdom, we will not be satisfied by taking back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.
At that time, it is bound to hit the capital of Liao State.
Although my Da Song is strong and strong, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the capital of Liao State in two or three years.
So if Qingtang does not show up this time, we may not be able to enter Qingtang until two or three years.
At that time, it is inevitable to have to talk to some old guys in the court. "
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Di Qing thoroughly understood Kou Ji's intentions.
Immediately.
Di Qing said: "Since my elder brother has the intention to lure the people from Qingtang to the bait, then we can slow down the pace of eliminating the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "You will send someone to Guazhou and tell Chong Shiheng that he can consume the number of soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty at will. However, when appropriate, he can leave a little bit of food for the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.
They cannot be fed, but they cannot be starved to death.
One person can drink a bowl of porridge a day.
The soldiers and horses of the Black Khan dynasty are still very useful for us to keep, we can't scare people away, let alone kill them all. "
Di Qing laughed and said: "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty are like scourges in the eyes of others. How come to my brother's eyes, they are like sheep raised at home."
Kou Ji smiled, "Go ask Jiao Si Luo, and then ask Xiao Pidi to see what the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty are in their eyes."
"Probably... Sheep too."
Di Qing hesitated and said.
Kou Ji nodded and said: "They are gathered together to form an unstoppable assault formation. They are indeed a bit wolfish. But after they are separated from the assault formation, they are no different from sheep.
When I reach the land of my Da Song, I don’t know how to fight in my Da Song’s way, but it is just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. "
Di Qing spoke with Kou Ji for a while, then left the room and sent someone to convey Kou Ji's order to Chong Shiheng.
In Guazhou City.
After weakening the soldiers of the Black Khan Dynasty once again, Chong Shiheng led his troops to retreat to the city of Guazhou.
Just stopped.
The battle report of Yangguan was delivered together with Kou Ji's order.
After reading the battle report of Yangguan, Zhong Shiheng's evaluation was simple, "Such a silly black soldier is not enough to kill."
He threw the report of Yangguan aside.
Zhong Shiheng looked at the order sent by Kou Ji, and after reading Kou Ji's order, Zhong Shiheng frowned.
"Leave some food for the black soldiers? Are you not afraid of raising tigers?"
"Go to Li Gong and say I have something to discuss."
Zhong Shiheng gave an order. Some soldiers left the temporary Chinese army account in Guazhou City, went to the Yamen of Guazhou City, and invited Li Di.
Li Di arrived at the temporary military account.
Zhong Shiheng handed the order to Li Di immediately.
When Li Di looked through the order, Zhong Shiheng questioned: "What does Li Gong think?"
After reading Kou Ji's order, Li Di didn't answer Zhong Shiheng, but instead asked, "What do you think of the same knowledge?"
Zhong Shiheng didn't conceal it, and slowly said his inference.
"Prime Minister Kou should want to fish."
"Qingtang?"
"Yes, Qingtang.
It's just that the risk of fishing is somewhat high. First, Qingtang is not a small fish, but a big fish. Once the fish is caught, if it can't be killed, it will eat back.
Second, it is easy to raise tigers.
Although the strength of the Black Khan soldiers is unbearable, they are huge in number.
If we do not weaken them to the point of being very weak, it will be difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop. "
After Zhong Shiheng said something, Li Di thought about it for a long time, and then said: "The old man lives in Hexi all the year round, but he knows the old neighbor of King Qingtang.
The soldiers and horses in his hands are far more than what is revealed on the face.
And the strength is good.
At the moment, almost all the soldiers and horses in the entire western border of the Song Dynasty have been dispatched to Hexi, and there are not many soldiers and horses guarding Qingtang.
Once King Qingtang takes the shot, the form will be very bad for us.
However, the old man also knows Koj.
Kou Ji never fights uncertain battles, let alone do uncertain things.
Since he dared to do this, he must have something to rely on.
Therefore, after we have figured out Kou Ji's reliance, we will discuss this matter again. "
Zhong Shiheng shook his head and said: "If Shumi Kou was willing to say something, he would have told me a long time ago. Now he hasn't said anything, obviously he is unwilling to tell me the details."
Li Disi measured for a moment and said, "Now the people and food in Guazhou have all been transported to Yumen Pass. The old man stays here has no effect. The old man will go to Yang Pass to help you ask questions and see Kou Ji. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
Zhong Shiheng gave Li Di a salute, "Then there will be Li Gong."
Li Di laughed and said, "You are welcome, the old man is just a toil."
After discussing the matter, Li Di didn't stay in Guazhou any more. He called a few men, protected him, and rode to Yangguan in an ox cart.
Soon after Li Di left Guazhou.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pidi led soldiers and horses to the city of Guazhou.
At the battle of Jijitaizi Mountain outside Guazhou City, Chong Shiheng smashed the Black Khan King Yusufu fiercely.
The Black Khan soldiers were on the Jiji Taizi Mountain, and there were not many casualties, not more than 10,000.
But more than 40,000 people were injured.
In the three battles before and after, more than 100,000 wounded soldiers were added to the Black Khan Barracks.
Black sweat cavalry, all light cavalry, are very mobile.
But after more than 100,000 wounded soldiers dragged their legs, the speed slowed down.
Among the more than 100,000 wounded soldiers, most of them temporarily lost their combat capabilities.
They can do nothing but heal their injuries.
If it weren’t for some rumors in the army that Kou Ji, the Secret Envoy of the State of Song, was a divine envoy left by the gods in the east, the Black Khan King Yusufu was afraid that abandoning the wounded soldiers would cause changes in the army, causing the soldiers and horses to mutiny, and voted. The enemy, according to his previous combat style, he put the wounded aside and left it to fend for itself.
The Black Khan King Yusufu couldn't leave the wounded soldiers, so he could only bring these burdens to the battlefield.
The feeling of being dragged down by cumbersomeness really made him feel uncomfortable.
So after he led his army to Guazhou City, he launched a fierce attack on Guazhou City.
He blamed Song Ren for all his faults.
He wants Song Ren to bear all his anger.
The battle in Guazhou City lasted a full day.
In the end, Zhong Shiheng retreated with his soldiers and horses.
Then there are Stumpzitan, Qidaogou, and Suoyang City.
Zhong Shiheng used the complicated terrain in Guazhou to the extreme.
In this way, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty were consumed wildly.
Just when Chong Shiheng was madly consuming the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.
Kou Ji in Yangguan suddenly received a letter.
There is no signature on the letter, but the person who delivered the letter Kou Ji knows.
Kou Ji asked the messenger to sit on the side of the room and pour his own tea. He opened the letter and read it roughly.
Then put down the letter with a weird look, and sighed sincerely.
"Jiao Si Luo is really clever."
"Master, are you ridiculing Jiao Luo?"
The man who was pouring and drinking put down his teacup, staring at Kou Ji with a smile and asked.
Kou Ji gave him a sideways look, "Do you know the content of the letter?"
The man chuckled, "The Jiao Si Luo sent people into our Yuanshan City with great fanfare and gave a lot of things to the Yuanshan leader. Among them were sixteen beauties.
The leader of Yuanshan gave one to the villain.
When the villain tossed the little beauty, she asked casually, and she said everything. "
Kou Ji glared at the man and said in deep thought: "A woman who was given out as a gift knows the news. It seems that Jiao Si Luo didn't intend to cover up at all."
The man thief smiled, "The elder brother and the thief actually invited our brother to deal with you. I don’t know what he thinks. He is not afraid that our brother will agree to him first, and then when he sends troops, he will be cruel. Do you stabb him hard?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "He didn't know the relationship between us, so he invited Yuan Shan to take action against Da Song. After all, Da Song is now facing the enemy on both sides. If there are two more powerful enemies, it is very likely that he will fall into a dead end. .
If Yuanshan was really a pure Western Regionsman, he would definitely not let go of this big opportunity. "
The man was taken aback when he heard the words, and said suspiciously: "Master, according to your account, if Yuan Shan and Jiao Si Luo work together to deal with Da Song, Da Song is likely to be defeated."
Kou Ji glanced at the man, "Do you think anyone can make a big wave in my hands?"
The man smiled dryly, "If you don't interfere with Master, then."
Kou Ji sighed: "That Song might lose half of the country."
The man turned his eyes, glanced left and right, and whispered: "If you want a lot of masters, you just sit down with half of the country?"
Speaking of this, the man turned his face straight and patted his chest and said: "Brothers will recognize you, Master. As long as you speak, the brothers will be killed in battle, and will help you seize the half of the country."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is that what you meant, or all of you?"
The man grinned and said, "All my brothers mean."
Kou Ji glared at the man, "Don't say such silly things in front of me in the future, or you will be killed. Go back and tell the other brothers to let them put this thought out.
If you really want me to sit in the world, then I should go out and grab a seat for me.
Rather than lying in the nest. "
The man was taken aback.
Kou Ji continued: "What you said just now is good. You go back and tell Zhang Yuan and ask him to agree to Jiao Si Luo. When you send troops together, you will go behind your back to give Jiao Si Luo a ruthless one.
I will tell you where to fight when the time comes. "
"Understood! Master!"
"get out!"
"Okay, Master!"
The man exited the room with a smile.
Kou Ji threw the letter sent by Zhang Yuan into the brazier and squinted slightly.
"One by one, I have been outside for a long time, and I am used to being in charge of myself, and I am not afraid of imperial power. If I persuade me to sit in the country, I dare to say that the day when Huang Pao is added may not be far away.
After the destruction of Qingtang this time, they had to change their place.
Otherwise, if they really put the yellow robe on me, the fun would be great. "
Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.
Kou Ji was not surprised when the man said this.
Only by staying under the imperial power for a long time will he be shocked by the imperial power, and he will speak carefully.
Freed from the imperial power, one by one owns the top of the mountain and is the master of the house.
Naturally, there is not much awe of the imperial power in my heart.
In their hearts, there is no difference between asking your boss to sit on the mountain, and asking your boss to sit on the seat of the mountain king.
"I'm afraid that Cao's use of that is the same... Cao's use of it can be regarded as close contact with the imperial power, knowing that the imperial power is just like that..."
