Most people who are closest to imperial power have no respect for imperial power.
Because they know what the imperial power is, and they have also seen those flying dogs hidden behind the imperial power.
When they are officials in the court, they will maintain the deterrent power of the imperial power.
Because their authority is diverted from the imperial power.
But once they leave the court, imperial power is in their eyes, that's it.
For example, Cao used this kind of people who dominated the king and hegemony outside the territory, and he would not have the slightest awe of the imperial power.
The people in Yuanshan Department just exhorted themselves to occupy half of the country.
If it is replaced by Cao, it will probably cause the incident directly, and Kou Ji will be forced to the corner at once.
Kou Ji felt that after the war was over, he had to find a way to talk to Zhang Yuan and Cao with two people.
He had no idea of rebellion, and he also wanted to persuade Cao Li and Zhang Yuan not to have the idea of rebellion.
"Huh..."
Kou Ji made a decision, took a sigh of relief, and stopped thinking about it.
Di Qing happened to be carrying wine and food to Kou Ji's room on this matter.
Seeing this, Kou Ji laughed and said: "You, a general, give me food personally, it's a bit unsuitable."
Di Qing put the wine and food on the table not far from Kou Ji, smiled and said, "You are my brother..."
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded when he heard the words.
Di Qing said a word, he had nothing to say.
In terms of identity, Di Qingtang, a great general, personally handed Kou Jiduan tea water, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.
In terms of personal affair, Kou Ji is Di Qing's elder brother, and Di Qing serves tea to his brother, which is very reasonable.
Kou Ji sat at the table and told Di Qing to sit down together, and the two of them were eating and drinking while chatting.
Kou Ji took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Zhong Shiheng's fight is full of enthusiasm, but there is no movement on Yangguan side. Xiao Pidi hasn't received the head from us yet, or has received the head , Felt the pressure and gave up attacking Yangguan?"
Di Qing put down his chopsticks and said in deep thought: "It should have not been received yet... Sixty thousand soldiers and horses were easily captured by us, and the other party has to say something."
Kou Ji thought about it, and said: "That's right, the loss of 60,000 soldiers and horses is considered a pain to them, and they will definitely express their opinions."
Di Qing asked: "In a few days, Zhong Tongzhi should retreat to Yumen Pass. After the Black Khan King Yusufu and Xiao Pidi see the Yumen Pass, will they split their troops?"
Kou Ji smiled and glanced at Di Qing, "Are you afraid that if they don't divide their troops, you don't have a battle here?"
Di Qing said frankly: "I led a 110,000 soldiers and horses to Zhenyang Pass, and I fought a battle, and I haven't fought much yet. If they didn't divide their troops to fight Yang Pass, then my trip to Hexi would be a waste of time. Up."
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Don't worry, after they arrive at Yumen Pass, they will definitely divide their troops."
Di Qing looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Why is my brother so sure?"
Kou Ji said: "They led a heavy army to Yumen Pass and couldn't gnaw at Yumen Pass. Naturally, they had to divide their troops to attack Yang Pass. If they did not divide their troops when they reached Yumen Pass, what battle would they fight?"
Di Qing groaned: "The Black Khan King Yusufu seems to prefer to lead a heavy attack on a place..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The Black Khan King Yusufu doesn't know how to fight my Dasong, but Xiao Pidi understands. If you reach Yumen Pass and cannot attack it for a long time, Xiao Pidi will certainly advise the Black Khan King Yusufu to divide his forces.
Di Qing licked the corner of his mouth and said with some excitement: "Brother thinks, how many soldiers and horses will the Black Khan King Yusufu dispatch?"
Kou Ji stared at Di Qing with a smile, "What do you think?"
Di Qing said with a bright smile: "A little over 80,000."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "The more than 80,000 Liao soldiers led by Xiao Pidi."
The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.
In their eyes, the tactics of the Black Khan King Yusufu's warfare were out of order.
Just one word, reckless.
They can easily see through the methods used by reckless men to fight.
Both of them had guessed what they would do after the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pidi led their troops to Yumen Gate.
The Black Khan King Yusufu and Xiao Pidi arrived at Yumen Pass. If they couldn't attack for a long time, Xiao Pidi would inevitably persuade the Black Khan King Yusufu to divide his forces.
But Yusufu, the king of the Black Khan, would certainly not agree.
Because the soldiers had been divided once before, the 60,000 soldiers and horses that had been allocated rushed to Yangguan, and they were all wiped out without even causing any splashes.
Black Khan King Yusufu will not take risks anymore.
After Xiao Pidi was rejected by the Black Khan King Yusufu, he would inevitably propose to the Black Khan King Yusufu that he should lead the Liao soldiers to attack Yangguan.
Ninety percent of the Black Khan King Yusufu will agree.
Because the Liao soldiers came to attack Yangguan and they won, it was a happy event for him. If they lost, he would not feel bad.
Kou Ji and Di Qing touched the black sweat king Yu Sufu's means and thoughts in fighting, so they concluded that Xiao Pidi then led more than 80,000 Liao soldiers to attack Yangguan.
After a happy laugh, Kou Ji said to Di Qing: "Then the pressure on Yumen Pass will be very great. The troops on Chong Shiheng's side are limited, so I am going to dispatch local soldiers from Xiping Mansion to help.
Without the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion in your hand, can you stop the more than 80,000 Liao soldiers led by Xiao Pidi? "
Hearing this, Di Qing stared at Kou Ji solemnly and said, "Five thousand Yongxing Army is enough to resist one hundred thousand elite soldiers in Liao."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "So I can rest assured."
Kou Ji's dispatch of local soldiers from Xiping Mansion to help Chong Shiheng was also considered.
Qingjian City under the rule of Xiping Mansion was the old nest of Chong Shiheng.
Chong Shiheng spent most of his life in Qingjian City, so he knew the people in Qingjian City and the people in Xiping Mansion.
Similarly, the people in Xiping Mansion also understand Chong Shiheng.
The two sides know the bottom line, and the war will get twice the result with half the effort.
Di Qing is similar here.
The Yongxing Army led by Di Qing used to be in the Shaanxi Mansion.
It can be said that most of the soldiers in the Yongxing Army were born in Shaanxi Prefecture.
The local soldiers of the Shaanxi government cooperated with the Yongxing army to fight, and it was also twice the result with half the effort.
After discussing the transfer of troops, Kou Ji wrote a transfer order and handed it to Di Qing.
Di Qing took the transfer order and read out Kou Ji's order in the soldiers and horse camp where the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion were stationed.
The local soldiers of Xiping Mansion rushed to Yumenguan.
Just when the local soldiers of Xiping Mansion left Yangguan.
Li Di sat on the cowl and swayed to Yangguan.
Yangguan is a military powerhouse.
Li Di didn't have a warrant and other things, and couldn't directly enter Yangguan.
Li Di ordered someone to report to Kou Jitong.
Kou Ji straddled his horse and appeared at the gate of Yangguan.
Li Di sat on the shaft and looked at Kou Ji with a smile.
Kou Ji looked at Li Di's pale hair and old face, sighed in his heart, and said, "When I saw you, I suddenly thought of Su Wu."
Li Di was taken aback for a moment, and grinned: "Su Wu is herding sheep in the Huns' place, and the old man is herding sheep in our own place. The difference is big."
"After years, I thought you old fellow was dead."
Kou Ji spoke unceremoniously.
The people who followed Li Di were stunned.
They thought Li Di would be angry.
Unexpectedly, Li Di chuckled, "The old man wants to die too. But he didn't burn a stick of incense on your grave, he won't accept me."
As he spoke, Kou Ji had jumped off his horse and paced in front of Li Di.
Kou Ji saw the old age spots on Li Di’s face when the distance was getting closer. Xu had been in Hexi for a long time, and there were two blobs of blood on Li Di’s cheeks.
Kou Ji looked anxious and couldn't help but said: "Old guy, go back to Bianjing and enjoy the blessing. With your contribution to Song Dynasty, even if you go to the palace every day to eat the official food, no one will say anything."
Li Di smiled and shook his head, "If the old man really returns to Bianjing, he will not go to enjoy the blessing, but suffer. The people in Bianjing, those in Hexi are simple.
The old man staying in Hexi is comparable to staying comfortably in Bianjing. "
Kou Ji sighed, "You are old!"
Li Di stared at Kou Ji and smiled: "Your kid has also matured a lot."
Speaking of this, Li Di seemed to think of something, and said: "Speaking of which, your kid is also great. In the previous Song Dynasty, there was no place where literati could not go. Since your kid became a privy envoy, where the Forbidden Army was The place has become a forbidden place for literati.
Even as an old man without a warrant, he could not enter the Yangguan guarded by the Forbidden Army. "
Kou Ji said frankly: "After reading a few books of war, I feel that I am a member of the art of war, and I absolutely cannot appear in the Forbidden Army.
Li Di nodded and said, "That's right. After reading a few books on military affairs, the civil servants felt that they were both civil and military, and always dictated the military affairs. I was bullied by my neighbors.
Now the military minister has stood up with your help and is able to call the shots by himself.
The hit Si Yi surrendered.
Even today, millions of soldiers and horses are trying to get me Da Song, and I can easily deal with it. "
After a pause, Li Di sighed: "If the Black Khan dynasty and the Liao Kingdom's millions of troops attacked me in the past, I am afraid that half of the Song Dynasty will be gone.
Your kid is right.
Military affairs should be handed over to the military minister.
Civil ministers should be good herders.
Interfering with each other will not end well.
To complement each other can we go further. "
Speaking of this, Li Di stared at Kou Ji and said, "However, once the military minister sits down, there will be endless harms."
Kou Ji glanced at Li Di, and said quietly: "Once a civil servant sits down, it will be a disaster for a hundred years."
Li Di stared angrily when he heard this, "Nonsense!"
Kou Ji glanced at Li Di and said, "I'm talking nonsense? During the decades when your civil servants were in power, I was beaten by my neighbors and almost moved the capital. The people clanged poorly and were forced to fall into the grass, or rebel frequently.
The only ones who get the benefit are your civil servants.
You have fattened Liao and Xixia, and even Qingtang has gradually been fattened by you.
If you let your civil servants rule for a few more decades, then Xixia will have the strength to fight against the Great Song Chamber, and Qingtang may become the next Xixia.
The words of Liao, Xia and Qingtang attacking Song together.
The only thing that Song Dynasty could do was to hand over half of the country in the north, and then a group of people ran to the south to love and pity themselves.
It is impossible to reorganize rivers and mountains.
Because as long as your civil servants are in charge, you will never be able to come back to life.
In the end, my Central Plains will only become a paradise for others to trample on. "
Li Di panted heavily. Just about to refute, he listened to Kou Ji continue to say: "The mountains are made by swordsmen, and they have to be guarded by swordsmen. Wenchen sits big and suppresses military ministers, it is no different from self-defeating hands and feet.
More importantly, civil servants were not good at dealing with foreign enemies, but were good at bullying the people.
If the people rebelled, they would surely be dealt with cleanly by the literary ministers.
Before this, I banned three assistants in the Song Dynasty, and all of them were in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the people who were suppressed were the people.
So even though my great Song Liguo until now, dozens of rebellions have occurred.
My great Song Jiangshan still stands tall.
The civil rebellion to overthrow the court has been reduced to the lowest level by you.
But the thing that outsiders set foot in my Central Plains was raised to the highest level by you. "
Li Di looked very ugly when he heard this, but he did not speak because he saw Kou Ji still had something to say.
Under Li Di's gaze, Kou Ji sighed: "The civilians overthrew the court, and it is not terrible to establish a new dynasty. The terrible thing is that others led heavy troops and trampled on the land of our Central Plains.
Destroy my ancestral hall and burn my ancestral temple.
Treat the people in my Central Plains as slaves.
Eat as a lamb.
Two-legged sheep, Li Gong should know where it came from.
As human ministers, we naturally want to help the royal family keep the flowers in the world.
As descendants of Yan and Huang, we should protect the land left by our ancestors.
This meat is left by our ancestors and is our ancestral land, so even if we let it rot in the pot, it cannot be eaten by outsiders. "
Li Di gritted his teeth and said: "My civil servants can reform bad governance! Revitalize the country!"
Kou Jishi smiled and said, "Do you believe that, Li Gong? Civil ministers are in charge, and the ministers who benefit the most are the civil servants. You are the biggest evil government. Can you kill yourself
You, Li Gong, are high-righteous, and you can give up everything for the sake of righteousness.
But how many people can there be in the ruling and opposition parties, who are as righteous as your Li Gong
You Li, Zhang, and Wang can barely count as one.
Are there any more
When you were in the city of Bianjing, you just moved the empty positions of those imperial relatives and civil and military officials, and you were verbally criticized and almost killed.
However, the officials and I raised swords and spears and slayed them, almost completely killing the emperor's relatives and relatives.
Look again, who can hurt my life
Who would dare to hurt my life
Therefore, at any time, swords and guns cannot be thrown away, let alone martial arts. "
Kou Ji opened his hands and said: "The civil minister has more brains and more methods than the military minister. Therefore, the military minister should sit a little bigger to maintain the balance of civil and military affairs."
Li Di glared at Kou Ji fiercely, and said: "I haven't seen you in a few years, your kid's mouth has become more and more neat. The old man can't tell you, let's not talk about it. I quickly took the old man into the customs, and the old man rushed for a few days. Did not eat well and did not sleep well.
You quickly deliver delicious and delicious food. "
Kou Ji laughed, "Gong Li no longer refutes, but agrees with my idea."
"roll!"
Li Di scolded: "Next time you dare to say such words of heartbreaking, the old man must play the court and participate with you."
Kou Ji ignored Li Di's verbal abuse, but instead welcomed Li Di into Yangguan with a smile.
Li Di actually has a lot to refute Kou Ji's remarks.
But in the end he still didn't say.
Kou Ji's words, "We, as descendants of Yanhuang and Huang, should protect the land left by our ancestors" and the words that the meat was rotten in the pot touched Li Di a lot.
Li Di felt that Kou Ji's words made sense.
From the moment they were born, the descendants of Yanhuang and Huang have shouldered the responsibility of keeping the soil.
Kou Ji greeted Li Di and entered Yangguan, and set a table for Li Di in the mansion where he lived in Guancheng. He and Di Qing sat with him.
Li Di unceremoniously shook off his arms and ate and drank.
Not only did he eat it himself, but he also ordered the guards who came with him to eat together.
Those guards didn't dare to sit at a table with Kou Ji. After they shared some dishes, they took it outside to eat.
Seeing this, Li Di scolded angrily, "Dog meat can't make it to the noodles!"
After Li Di had enough food and drink, he put on a posture to talk about major issues.
Kou Ji took a deep glance at Li Di's wine and food after eating, waved his hand to let people take the leftovers away.
Li Di seemed to throw off his arms and ate and drank, but didn't eat much.
Less than a quarter of Kou Ji, less than a tenth of Di Qing.
Kou Ji can easily judge from Li Di's appetite that Li Di is really old and can't eat.
Kou Ji vaguely remembered that when he saw Li Di for the first time, Li Di was full of energy, and it was no problem to hit him three.
Now, Li Di may not be able to pull him with his wrist.
After Kou Ji withdrew the leftovers, he smiled at Li Di, "What is the so-called Li Gong coming to Yangguan this time?"
Li Di sighed: "You want to raise a tiger, and Chong Shiheng feels nowhere, so I ask the old man to come over and ask."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Is it because I told him to leave some food for the black sweat soldiers?"
Li Di nodded, looked at Kou Ji, and asked suspiciously: "What the hell do you kid think?"
Kou Ji asked back: "Can't Li Gong guess?"
Li Di hesitated and said: "I guess you can guess. Your kid wants to raise the black sweat soldier until the Liao State soldier goes south, by attracting Qingtang to take action.
But you are not afraid to play off
There are a lot of black sweat soldiers, even if you want to raise them, you have to reduce their number to a certain extent.
Otherwise, once Qingtang soldiers attacked.
Both sides meet each other.
These soldiers and horses in Hexi may not be able to resist. "
Kou Ji smiled and said, "The imperial army in Yongzhou is already on the way to Hexi."
Li Di was taken aback, frowned and said, "If you count Yongzhou's forbidden army, it is only 150,000 forbidden army. Can it stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Black Khan Dynasty and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Qingtang?"
Kou Ji continued to laugh and said, "Not only the imperial army in Yongzhou, but also local soldiers and horses in Kaifeng Prefecture, Sichuan Prefecture, Jianing Prefecture and other places. Then they will rush to the Hexi battlefield."
Li Di pondered: "If the forces are sufficient, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty will be easy to deal with. But the soldiers and horses of Qingtang are not so easy to deal with.
Both the official and you should have arranged people in Qingtang, so you must be aware of the strength and number of troops in Qingtang.
Without a 200,000 imperial army, it may not be able to withstand the soldiers and horses of Qingtang. "
Kou Ji smiled and said frankly: "This morning, someone from the Yuanshan Ministry has come. Tell me that Qingtang Wangjiao Siluo invited Yuanshan to conspire with me in Da Song."
Li Di's eyes widened in an instant.
"Jiao Si Luo is crazy? Looking for Yuan Shan Department to deal with my Da Song?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "He is not crazy, he just thinks that, driven by huge interests, the Yuanshan Ministry will betray my Da Song, join forces with him, and fight against my Da Song."
Li Di didn't know what to say for a while.
Others don't understand Yuanshan Bu, but he does.
He has been in Shazhou for nearly ten years, and he has been dealing with people in Yuanshan for ten years.
He knew that the Yuanshanbe had loyalty to the Song Dynasty.
Jiao Si Luo found a Da Song loyal dog to fight Da Song together. What did you think
Do you think your personality is attractive, or do you think that a loyal dog will not take a bite at a critical time
Profit-driven
Do people in Wonsanbe care about profit
Every year, the Yuanshan tribe gave a large sum of money to the Song Dynasty.
If they really care about their interests, why do they dedicate their money to the Song Dynasty
Also, attack the Song Dynasty together and seize the territory of the Song Dynasty
Are they crazy and come to provoke the powerful enemy Da Song
Nowadays, most of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty are in Hexi and Xizhou Uighurs, and there are not many strong soldiers left.
If Yuanshan really wanted to grab the site, would it not be popular to fight the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty
Ten thousand cavalry rushed in while the Xizhou Uighur and the Black Khan Dynasty were empty. The territory of the Xizhou Uighur and the Black Khan Dynasty was not allowed to be harvested by them
After occupying the territory of the Xizhou Uighur or the Black Khan Dynasty, in turn, it can help the Song Dynasty to eliminate the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty together, sell the Song Dynasty well, and get more support from the Song Dynasty.
In terms of interest, it is far more cost-effective for the Yuanshan Tribe to attack the territory of the Xizhou Uighurs or the Black Khan Dynasty than to attack the Song Dynasty.
The head of the Yuanshan tribe, Yuanshan, is not a fool. Wouldn't he weigh the pros and cons
When Li Di thought of this, he couldn't help but muttered: "Yuanshan Tribe is going to attack the territory of the Xizhou Uighur and the Black Khan dynasty, and it will be cheaper than attacking my Dasong Dynasty.
Unless Yuanshan had a problem with his brain, it would be impossible to agree to Jiao Si Luo. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "That might be the wall is pushed down by everyone. Now that the wolves are devouring the tiger, it may not be impossible if the Yuanshan Ministry takes the opportunity to rush out and take a bite.
After all, compared to the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty, my Da Song is more prosperous. "
Li Di said contemptuously: "One by one, they don't know how to manage their own territories, which makes the people in their own country poor, but they are worried about my rich son."
After saying this, Li Di glared at Kou Ji and said, "You want Yuanshan Tribe to attack my Da Song so much?"
Kou Ji confessed: "Because I have signaled Yuanshan to ask him to agree to Jiao Si Luo's request to strike me Da Song together with Qingtang."
Li Di was stunned.
After a long time, he stared at Kou Ji and said, "Are you under Qingtang?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Li Di hesitated: "What if... What if the pretense is really going to be done?"
Kou Ji lied: "I told Yuanshan that after the war subsides, I will send soldiers and horses to conquer the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khan dynasty with the Yuanshan tribe.
By then, the territory occupied by the Yuanshan Tribe will be theirs.
With my Da Song's help, if they attacked the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khan Dynasty, it should be very smooth. "
"The generosity of others? Can Yuanshan believe it?"
"I, Da Song, never broke his trust. Besides, if he really helped Qingtang sit up, Qingtang would let him go?"
