Di Qing cheered up again under the comfort of Kou Ji.
He is not the kind of person who likes to be horny, and he is not the kind of person.
You Dao is merciful but not in command.
As a soldier in charge, Di Qing fought many victories back and forth, and the total number of enemies killed was probably more than one hundred thousand.
How can someone who has killed more than one hundred thousand people be a benevolent person
The reason why he was in a bad mood after returning from the Black Khan prisoner camp.
Not because of kindness, but because of sadness.
As a person with a country and people in mind, seeing the black Khan people cruel to other tribesmen in order to please themselves, it is easy to associate themselves with their tribesmen, and they will feel sad and worried when they think about it.
After Di Qing cheered up again, he said to Kou Ji: "Brother, I will go to the city for a tour to prevent the Liao people from attacking at night."
Kou Ji nodded and allowed Di Qing to leave.
When Di Qing stepped outside the door, Li Di swayed beside Kou Ji. Looking at Di Qing's back, Li Di curiously asked, "What's wrong with that kid?"
At the time of the questioning, Li Di had already sat in front of Kou Ji, took a jug of fruit wine, poured himself a glass, and pushed the jug in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji picked up the fruit wine, sniffed it, gave up the idea of drinking fruit wine with Li Di, and exclaimed: "He just went to the captive camp of the black sweat, and promoted some small bosses."
Li Di was taken aback for a moment, and laughed, "I must have seen the black sweat man ruining his fellow robe, and I felt sad."
Kou Ji nodded.
Li Di admired: "The old man has to admit that your boy's vision is true. He saved a person who is about to be stabbed from prison, and he is a person who has a family and a country in his heart.
Such a person can stay in the history even if he cannot be an extremely human minister in the future. "
"An extremely human minister?"
Kou Ji murmured, shook his head and said: "It's probably impossible."
Li Di suspiciously said: "With you promoted, why is it impossible?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "He's an extremely human minister, then where should I sit?"
Li Di was suddenly speechless.
Under the circumstances of Kou Ji's holy family, if Di Qing is an extremely human minister, then Kou Ji can only be crowned king, or sit on the only throne in the hanging arch hall.
Li Di was not willing to see whether it was to conquer the king or to sit on the throne.
It's not what everyone in the government and the opposition wants to see.
Li Di was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "He was born in the same dynasty as you, so it's really sad."
Implications.
There is Kou Ji in the chapel, and it is difficult for others to sit in the position of extremely human minister.
Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes again, "He has to be fortunate to be born in the same dynasty as me, otherwise he can be bullied to death by your gang of Wenchens."
Li Di stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile, "You are right. Before you appeared in the court, the people in the court didn't give the martial artists a chance at all. Even if they were given a chance, they would be framed. Roast on the fire."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "You seem to be one of those people."
Li Di stared, "How can you compare the old man with those pedantic people?"
Kou Ji smiled coldly, without speaking.
Li Di lifted the hip flask, put it heavily in front of Kou Ji, staring straight, and said in a bad mood: "Drink!"
Kou Ji pushed the jug aside with disgust, "Don't drink, it's sour."
Li Di grabbed the jug, "I love to drink or not..."
Kou Ji and Li Di fought for a while, Li Di drank a pot of fruit wine, and the two went back to the room to rest.
Di Qing walked around the city in the dark, and finally ordered people to move a few quilts, and simply live in the city gate.
The next day.
After dawn.
Xiao Pidi led the Liao army and once again forced to the city of Yangguan Pass.
Di Qing immediately mobilized the black sweat to go up to the city wall to defend the city.
Together, the war entered the most tragic stage.
The Liao soldiers surged up the city like crazy.
Di Qing only dispatched the black sweat to defend the city, so he was attacked by Liao soldiers several times.
Ten thousand black sweats fought hard for half a day before being beaten, nearly three thousand dead and six thousand injured.
Di Qing once again mobilized ten thousand black sweats to board the city wall and continued to defend the city.
The fighting continued until dark, and the newly dispatched 10,000 Black Sweats were also defeated.
In the end, Di Qing did not send the third group of Black Khan people to the top of the city to defend the city, but ordered the local soldiers of Shaanxi Prefecture to replace the Black Khan people to defend the city.
The artillery was pushed out while the local soldiers in Shaanxi were defending the city.
As soon as the artillery came out.
Liaobing immediately felt the pressure.
Xiao Pidi decisively ordered to retreat.
The battlefield returned to calm after nightfall, leaving only the corpses in one place, lying quietly in the cold wind.
The purpose of Xiao Pidi's attack on Yangguan this time was to probe the reality and futility in Yangguan.
Now, the elite of the Song Dynasty has not come out, only some local soldiers, with the help of artillery, pressed them to the ground, which made Xiao Pidi feel some pressure.
After nightfall.
Inside the large account of the army of the Liao camp.
Everything is the same as last night.
Sitting in the middle of the big tent, Xiao Pidi asked in a deep voice, "How about the battle damage?"
Cong Jiang solemnly said: "The damage in the battle has exceeded 10,000."
Xiao Pidi dropped the knife, frowned and said, "The battle has lost more than 10,000, but the strength of the Song soldiers in Yangguan is still unclear. The elite Song soldiers in Yangguan are twenty thousand or fifty thousand, and we still have it. do not know.
If there are only 20,000 of them and another 30,000 go elsewhere, it will definitely affect the situation of the battle. "
Cong Jiang said in a deep voice, "Or, we will attack again tomorrow and try to force out all the opponent's forces."
Xiao Pidi slowly shook his head, "That's not right... After we entered the Hexi of the Song State, the number of soldiers and horses lost in the battle has exceeded 20,000, which has exceeded one-fifth of our total force and cannot be consumed any longer.
In the subsequent war, we can only outsmart, not recklessly.
In today's battle, although we could not test the reality of the Song soldiers in Yangguan, we smashed through the gate of Yangguan and saw the high stone wall at the gate.
The Song people blocked the gate of Yangguan with a stone wall, which shows that they chose to stick to the end.
In this way, it just conforms to our wishes.
We just need to push the boat along the river and accompany the Song people to consume it.
I have sent people to the Uighurs in Xizhou to escort the Uighurs in Xizhou.
When the Uighurs from Xizhou arrive, we will use the Uighurs from Xizhou to fight them. "
Cong Jiang groaned: "On the side of Yangguan, Song Bing decided to stay forever. But on the other side of Yumenguan, I’m afraid I won’t stay forever. At the moment we haven’t heard clearly about the movements of Song Guo’s elites sitting in Yangguan. It is very likely that there will be a battle with the black khan king Yusufu.
If the Black Khan King Yusufu loses, it will be very unfavorable for us.
Should we send someone to remind the black khan king Yusufu? "
Xiao Pidi thought for a moment and nodded: "It's time to send someone to remind the Black Khan King Yusufu. But you don't have to worry too much. The elite Song Guo who sits in Yangguan is really going to help Yumenguan, really want to follow If the Black Khan King Yusufu fights, it is impossible to choose outside Yumen Pass.
The black sweat king Yusufu was least afraid of playing against Song Bing outside Yumen Pass.
His hundreds of thousands of cavalry ran together, and they could trample Song Bing to death.
Unless Song Bing took out a number of soldiers and horses no less than 300,000, it would be impossible to defeat the Black Khan King Yusufu head-on.
Therefore, if Song Bing wanted to defeat the Black Khan King Yusufu, he could only lead the Black Khan King Yusufu elsewhere.
We sent people to remind the Black Khan King Yusufu that while Song Bing might reinforce Yumen Pass, we also reminded him by the way to be careful of Song Bing’s plan to invite you to enter the urn.
The Black Khan King Yusufu suffered a loss in Yangguan and would not easily be fooled by the Song Bing. "
After listening to Xiao Pidi's words, Cong Jiang nodded slowly.
No words for a night.
The next day.
Xiao Pidi did not lead the soldiers and horses to attack the city, but sent people to remind the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.
Liao Bing** was outside Yangguan, and there was no movement at all, which made Di Qing feel a little suspicious.
Di Qing couldn't guess what Liaobing was selling, so he went to Li Di and Kou Ji for advice.
Yang Guan.
Inside the compound.
Di Qing accompanied Li Di and Kou Ji to sit on the fire kang, and spoke out the doubts in his heart, "The Liao soldiers stormed for two days, so it stands to reason that they should also storm today.
But I stayed on the city for most of the day, and I didn't see any movement from the Liao soldiers.
What kind of abacus did the Liao Bing make? "
Li Di pondered and shook his head.
He also couldn't guess what the Liaobing was going to do.
Kou Ji thought about it, and said: "If you can't guess it, just look again. As long as the Liao soldiers have a calculation, they will definitely leak their feet. You can keep the people under your hands on guard."
Di Qing nodded and said: "That can only be so..."
After that, it lasted for three days.
The Liao soldiers were stationed outside Yangguan motionless.
On the contrary, there is a big battle at Yumen Pass every day.
The three of Kou Ji thought about it for three days, and finally thought about the purpose of the Liaobing.
The three gathered again on the fire kang in the compound.
Kou Ji sat cross-legged and pondered: "The purpose of the Liao soldiers should be similar to ours. They are also dragging time."
Li Di stroked his beard and nodded: "The final battlefield of the Liao Kingdom is on the Zhending Mansion. Even if they play a big advantage in Hexi, it is useless. Because once the Qingtang people make a move, they will eventually divide the interests of Hexi. It may be the Black Khan Dynasty and Qingtang, the Liao Kingdom did not share much interest.
The Liao State sent troops and horses to aid the Black Khan dynasty. The purpose was also to let the Black Khan dynasty open up the situation in Hexi, contain most of our forces in the Song Dynasty, and fight for some favorable conditions for the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu's southern conquest.
Therefore, it does not matter whether the Liao soldiers can win the battle in Hexi.
They only need to contain the strength of my Song Dynasty until the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu leads his troops to the south, and their task is completed. "
Di Qing hesitated: "In this way, wouldn't the Black Khan King Yusufu be put in?"
Kou Ji glanced at Li Di and motioned Li Di to explain the matter.
Li Di glared at Kou Ji and said: "Between countries, there are no pure allies. Between countries, there are only interests. It is very common to betray allies in order to win wars. thing.
After our Da Song and the Liao State signed the covenant before, did the Liao people frequently violate the sides? "
Di Qing nodded and said, "I know that. I'm just thinking, will Black Khan King Yusufu turn his face when he knows that he is loaded in?"
Kou Ji and Li Di were taken aback.
Kou Ji thought about it and said: "Probably not. Xiao Pidi should have a way to gain the trust of the Black Khan King Yusufu. Unless we defeat the Black Khan King Yusufu's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, let the Black Khan King Yusufu truly feel that he is being pretended. Only when he gets in will he turn his face with Liao."
Li Di squeezed his beard and smiled: "It's better not to turn your face. After all, what the Liao Kingdom wants now is what you Privy Councilor Kou wants now."
Xiao Pidi wanted to drag on, and Kou Ji wanted to drag on. The two people had the same purpose.
It's just a different idea.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Then we will follow the boat."
Li Di smiled and nodded.
Di Qing also nodded.
After nodding, Li Di smiled and said: "A few days later, it will be the New Year. The Liao soldiers dragged the city without attacking the city. We can just have a good New Year."
Di Qing said with emotion: "I am afraid it will not be so easy to celebrate the New Year at Yumen Pass."
Kou Ji thought about it: "That's not necessarily. The local soldiers in various places and they have arrived in Hexi. They are now driving towards Yumen Pass and Yang Pass. Then I dispatched them all to Yumen Pass and let Chong Shiheng lead them to the black sweat. Bing hit a head-on.
The black sweat soldier should be able to stop for two days.
They can also have a good New Year. "
Li Di nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "In this way, the cattle and sheep raised in Guazhou and Shazhou don't have to be sold in Xiliang City."
Speaking of this, Li Di stared at Kou Ji with a smile and said: "The army used our cattle and sheep in Guazhou and Shazhou during the New Year's Day. Wouldn't they not give me money?"
Kou Ji groaned: "I asked the officials to give Guazhou and Shazhou tax relief for three years."
Li Di stared and shouted: "You want to be beautiful."
This time, Guazhou and Shazhou suffered military disasters. According to the custom of the imperial court, they will inevitably meet with Guazhou and Shazhou for three years after the war to pay taxes, so that Guazhou and Shazhou can recuperate.
So Kou Ji said nothing.
Naturally, Li Di couldn't make a loss-making business.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "When you are done, I will say casually, you don't need to be angry. After the war, how much food, grass, cattle and sheep did you use in Guazhou and Shazhou after the war? You will also report a number to the court. At that time, the court will calculate the money for you according to the market price."
Li Di was taken aback and asked: "The market price of Bianjing City..."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Impossible! The market price of Xining Prefecture or Xiliang City, you choose one."
Li Di said without even thinking: "Xining Prefecture, the market price of Xining Prefecture is higher."
Koj laughed.
Li Di hesitated and asked: "Is the court really so generous?"
Kou Ji said with emotion: "The court has accumulated a lot of floating wealth in recent years, and the purpose is to use it for war. The court wants to win the battle, how can it be less generous?"
Li Di sighed: "Today's imperial court is full of treasury, strong soldiers and horses, which is great."
Back in those days, the treasury of Song Dynasty was able to run mice empty, and Li Di offended people in order to make money from the treasury.
The soldiers and horses on the four sides are also very rotten, and they have been crushed and beaten all the time.
Today, the Great Song State Treasury is full, and the soldiers and horses on the four sides are no longer being crushed and beaten, but being beaten by others.
Today's Great Song Dynasty is qualified to be called the celestial dynasty on the list.
Seeing Li Di's expression of emotion, Kou Ji smiled and said, "It will be better in the future."
Li Di laughed loudly, "There is a credit for the old man in it."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Of course, no one can deny your credit."
Afterwards, the three people laughed together.
No words for a night.
The next day.
The three men perform their duties.
Kou Ji wrote orders for soldiers from other places in the yard, Di Qing inspected the city defenses, and Li Di got busy with people for the New Year.
Kou Ji promised that the court would settle money with Li Di afterwards, and Li Di happily asked the people of Guazhou and Shazhou to send their grain, cattle, sheep, and dried fruits into the barracks.
There are not only soldiers and horses in Yangguan, but also soldiers and horses in Yumen Pass.
Seeing the carts of grain, cattle, sheep, and dried fruits transported into Guancheng, the soldiers were also happy.
Because they know that even if they are at the border, they can have a rich New Year.
Of course, there are also some unpleasant episodes.
After some local soldiers arrived at Yumen Pass and saw cattle and sheep everywhere in Yumen Pass, they felt that the soldiers at Yumen Pass were eating meat and wine all day long. They marched all the way and ate dry food and cold water, which was very unfair.
They drank some of the wine they brought, and led a hundred people into a fight.
He broke into the pen where the cattle and sheep were held and snatched some sheep.
Then they were surrounded.
If Chong Shiheng hadn't appeared in time, they would have been beaten to death alive.
Zhong Shiheng did not deal with them, but explained the origin and purpose of cattle and sheep to other soldiers.
Then someone sent a document to Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji got the paperwork, without saying anything, he dispatched his own guards, took a ling arrow, hurried to Yumen Pass, and hung the heads of those people on the flagpole.
At the same time, he sent a paperwork to the court and asked Zhao Zhen to reform the elders and younger generations who held official positions in the families of the troubled officers.
This is just an episode.
It did not arouse too many people's attention.
On the contrary, the war on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month is more worthy of attention.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chong Shiheng dispatched a soldier and horse according to Kou Ji's order, slipped out of the city by night, and had a big fight in the Black Khan barracks.
Burned part of the grain and grass that the king of the Black Khan Yusufu ordered from the Huihu in Xizhou.
Black Khan King Yu Sufu was furious. After dawn, he led all the soldiers and horses to fight with Chong Shiheng at Yumen Pass for a day and night.
The entire Yumen Pass, as well as the tens of li-long city walls under the jurisdiction of Yumen Pass, have soldiers and horses fighting fiercely.
Eighty thousand soldiers and horses were killed and injured on both sides.
Among them, Song Bing died and injured more than 20,000.
The Black Khan soldiers suffered 60,000 casualties.
After the First World War, the Black Khan King Yusufu never led his troops to attack Yumen Pass.
Obviously it was hurt.
After the war.
Yumen Pass and Yang Pass officially entered the New Year's Day.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the two closed cities were brightly lit.
The scent of beef and mutton filled the inside and outside of Guancheng.
Inside Yangguan.
Li Di ordered the people to set the table for the running water.
From one end of Yangguan city to the other end.
There is enough meat and steamed buns, and only two taels of wine per person.
Even the Black Khan also took up some light, got some broth, and naan.
Kou Ji, Li Di, and Di Qing sat on the crossroads in the city, accompany the soldiers to have fun together.
The soldiers were noisy and had fun all night.
The noise also rang all night.
Neither the Black Khan King Yu Sufu outside Yumen Pass nor Xiao Pidi outside Yang Pass took the opportunity to attack.
Because they all know that the Song people in the city will not give them any loopholes.
Taking advantage of the Song people to siege the city while celebrating the New Year, it is very likely that all the Song people in the city will be hated, and even suffer serious revenge.
Of course, the more important thing is that they don't have the heart to reply.
The Black Khan King Yusufu led 700,000 soldiers and horses into the Song Dynasty. In less than a month, nearly 300,000 troops were lost and the loss was very heavy.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, he suffered a disastrous defeat. In addition, most of the grain and grass were burned, and the King of Black Khan Yusufu retreated.
Because he felt that if he continued to consume Song Bing, he wouldn't wait for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to lead his troops to the south to form a momentum of attacking him, his soldiers and horses would be consumed by Song Bing first.
He agreed to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and attacked the Song Dynasty together, to take advantage, not to suffer.
Now that three-sevenths of the soldiers and horses have been consumed, which has exceeded the expectations he can bear in his heart, he is naturally unwilling to stay any longer.
He felt that he could go back first, digest the Xizhou Uighurs, and then lead a million soldiers and horses to kill in the fall of next year.
At that time, he will be fully prepared.
It's just like playing the Xizhou Uighur before. If you can't beat it, go back and rest. You can turn around and play again when you have time.
Hit slowly, don't worry.
There is no need to die.
After the black sweat king Yu Sufu had a retreat, he sent someone to tell Xiao Pidi of this idea.
After Xiao Pidi learned about this, he didn't say anything, took a few people, hurried to Yumenguan, and met with the king of the black khan Yusufu.
When Xiao Pidi saw the black sweat king Yusufu, the high spirited black sweat king Yusufu disappeared, replaced by a dark sweat king Yusufu with a deep face.
"Khan King!"
Xiao Pidi entered the Great Tent of the Black Khan King's Central Army. After seeing the Black Khan King Yusufu, he quickly walked to the Black Khan King Yusufu and yelled anxiously.
The black sweat king Yu Sufu seemed to have a drink, with two red balls on his face. After hearing Xiao Pidi's shout, he was slightly taken aback and looked at Xiao Pidi.
"General Xiao..."
After Xiao Pidi gave a salute to the Black Khan King Yusufu, he said in a deep voice, "Khan King is going to retreat?"
Black Khan King Yusufu frowned, and said displeased: "Ben Khan just led the soldiers and horses back and rested. When Ben Khan is done, he will make a comeback."
Xiao Pidi solemnly said: "Khan King, right now is the only opportunity to attack the Song State. Once we miss this opportunity, we will only be beaten by the dynasties around Song State in the future.
If you retreat now, then our Liao Kingdom’s southern invasion of Song Kingdom will be defeated.
You have also seen how tyrannical Song State's soldiers are.
Once Song State destroyed my Liao State, the Black Khan Dynasty was left with a threat.
At that time they will certainly not let go of the Black Khan Dynasty. "
After a pause, Xiao Pidi said again: "The power of the Song State and the people in charge of the soldiers are all those who will report to the people. Before that, the power of the Song State promised in front of the people of the Song State that the foreign enemy would hurt the Song State alone, and the Song State will punish him. .
Dali, adjacent to Qingtang, was just wiped out by the Song State.
The reason why Dali was destroyed is because the people of Dali hurt several people from Song Dynasty.
King Khan, think about it, after entering Song Kingdom, the number of Song people injured was not a few, but tens of thousands. "
