Is Kou Ji's chess skill really bad
No, it's really a lot worse than Zhong Shiheng.
Kou Ji didn't care about being rejected by Zhong Shiheng.
Kou Ji smiled faintly: "Your chess murderous aura is too heavy, not good."
Zhong Shiheng said angrily and funny: "Are you going to make me smile and welcome the millions of enemy soldiers outside the city?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "If it was Cao Wei, he would definitely be able to greet him with a smile."
Zhong Shiheng snorted, "That's Cao Wei, not me."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng and said, "I know you are anxious and want a decisive battle with the Black Khan Soldiers. But the news from Qingtang has not been delivered yet, and it is not suitable for a decisive battle now."
Chong Shiheng gritted his teeth and said: "If we can't draw it out, we won't draw it. Once we kill the Black Khan Soldiers and Liao Soldiers, we will just turn around and kill them with ease."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "It's not as easy as you said, the Qi in the west and southwest of Qingtang is a bit special. Our soldiers and horses can't adapt for a while.
Therefore, fighting with Qingtang soldiers and horses in Qingtang is a very unwise choice.
We have to draw them out, break their bones, and send black sweat soldiers in for disaster.
After our soldiers and horses have adapted to the qi in the western and southwestern regions of Qingtang, they can enter Qingtang to formally recover Qingtang. "
"gas?"
Zhong Shiheng frowned, and said solemnly, "You mean that people from Da Song Dynasty came to the western and southwestern borders of Qingtang and felt suffocated. Is it because of qi?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "As you said, when I reach the western and southwestern borders of Qingtang, I will feel suffocated. Isn't that qi and what is it?"
Zhong Shiheng nodded and said: "It's also... I can't adapt to the anger of my great Song soldiers. It's really disadvantageous to enter into it to fight. But if we wait for the Qingtang soldiers and delay the opportunity to counterattack the black sweats, then it's okay. It's not good."
Kou Ji pondered, "Wait another day, if we can't wait, we won't wait."
Zhong Shiheng sighed without saying more, and played chess with Kou Ji.
There is no way he can play chess without Kou Ji, because other people who can play chess with him have worse chess skills.
Du Yan, who made peace in Yumen Pass, was able to fight him.
It's just that two people are guilty of rushing, looking at each other and getting tired of each other, and can't urinate in a pot, naturally it is impossible to sit together and play chess.
Zhong Shiheng accompanied Kou Ji to play chess until noon.
The trumpet sounded in the black sweat barracks outside the city.
The Black Khan King Yusufu led the Black Khan Soldiers to rush towards Yumen Pass.
Zhong Shiheng dropped the pawn and led the soldiers to fight the enemy together.
The fighting lasted from noon to night. After Chong Shiheng led his army to repel several attacks by the black khan soldiers, the black khan king Yusufu had to lead his troops back to the camp.
Zhong Shiheng took off his armor and was going to go down to the gate of the city to eat with Kou Ji.
The two had just got off the city wall.
Yiqi rushed from the east gate of Yumen Pass, and when he reached Kou Ji, he jumped off his horse and quickly said, "Qi, the prince Kou, a man came from the east gate, holding the waist card of your mansion, saying that it is important. I want to tell you the news."
Zhong Shiheng looked at Kou Ji with confusion.
Kou Ji laughed loudly, "Hahahaha..."
Seeing this, Zhong Shiheng couldn't help but ask: "What can be expected in the family?"
Zhong Shiheng felt that coming from the east and holding the Kou Mansion's waist card in his hand, it means that it is a member of the Kou Mansion.
It is very likely that something happened in the city of Bianjing, and people from Kou Mansion came to notify Kou Ji.
Kou Ji laughed loudly before seeing anyone. It was obviously a happy event, and it was also a happy event that Kou Ji knew before he left Bianjing.
Kou Ji did not answer Zhong Shiheng, but patted Zhong Shiheng on the shoulder and smiled: "Qingtang has taken the bait, you can do it..."
Zhong Shiheng was taken aback, "Is that a spy in your house?"
Kou Ji didn't explain much, just casually said: "Let's just count it."
Zhong Shiheng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Officials?"
Kou Jishi laughed and said: "Don't you want to fight the black sweats in a hurry? What happened? Instead, I didn't care about the war. Instead, I cared about the servants of my house."
Zhong Shiheng confessed: "To keep pure is curiosity."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng, shook his head and smiled: "I am not an official."
Zhong Shiheng seemed to make up for something in his brain, and smiled at Kou Ji: "Then I don't ask, I'm going to prepare for the war with the Black Khan Dynasty."
Kou Ji allowed Chong Shiheng to leave. After Chong Shiheng left, Kou Ji smiled and said to the soldiers who came to pass the message: "Go and bring him to see me."
The soldier agreed and rode his horse towards the east gate.
Kou Ji smiled and returned to his home in Yumen Pass. Sitting in the home, Kou Ji's smile became even stronger when he heard the running sounds of soldiers and horses frequently mobilized in Yumen Pass.
In fact, he and Chong Shiheng had already made arrangements for the counterattack against the Black Khan King Yusufu.
Now there is no need to plant too much for Shiheng, he only needs to dispatch troops and horses according to the previously stated.
Not long after Kou Ji returned to his residence, the soldier in charge of spreading the letter took a person to Kou Ji's residence.
Kou Ji was slightly surprised when he saw the visitor.
"Yuyou, why are you here?"
Yuyou solemnly saluted Kou Ji, "I have seen Master..."
Kou Ji waved his hand, indicating that Yuyou doesn't need to be polite.
After Yuyou gave the gift, he said: "This time the matter is very important, and I don't worry about it, so I chose to take a trip myself."
Kou Ji nodded, invited Yuyou to sit down, and asked, "The coalition forces of Qingtang and Yuanshan have already mobilized?"
Yuyou nodded and said: "Qingtang dispatched half a million troops, almost out of the nest. My Yuanshan Department only dispatched 60,000 troops, and heavy armored horses are included. According to the itinerary, they should have reached Daxueshan Mountain at this moment. Underfoot.
After Zhang Yuan and Jiao Si Luo Yi reached the oath, they would continue to advance. "
"pledge?"
Kou Ji looked suspicious.
Yuyou roughly talked to Kou Ji about the vows that Zhang Yuan and Jiao Siluo made to Daxue Mountain together.
After Kou Ji heard this, he laughed and said: "Zhang Yuan too, he does not believe in the big snow mountains, nor the gods and Buddhas of the Western Regions, and the oaths made have no effect on him."
Yuyou laughed in a low voice: "The oath does not have much binding force on us, but it still has a certain binding force on the Qingtang King Jiao Si Luo. Jiao Si Luo signed an oath with Zhang Yuan in the presence of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even though If you want to violate it, you have to find a reasonable excuse.
We don't need to, we want to violate, without the slightest pressure. "
Kou Ji was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Yuyou slightly reduced the smile on his face and said: "By the way, although Jiao Si Luo sent 500,000 soldiers and horses in Qingtang to attack, there were only 300,000 soldiers and horses who went to attack Xiliang City. He said. He also dispatched 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture."
When Kou Ji heard this, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his brows frowned subconsciously.
"Jiao Si Luo actually sent 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture. I thought he would only send 100,000, but I didn't expect it to be 200,000, which was double the amount.
I'm afraid Zhu Neng is in trouble. "
Yuyou was taken aback, and asked, "You sent General Zhu to guard Shaanxi and Sichuan Prefectures?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Secretly dispatched."
Yuyou pondered: "Would you like me to rush over and talk to General Zhu?"
Kou Ji did not rush to answer, but instead asked, "Did the Yuanshan Department send anyone?"
Yuyou said frankly: "After Zhang Yuan learned about this, he decisively proposed to Jiao Si Luo to assign soldiers and horses to join him, and Jiao Si Luo agreed to him. When the army opened, Zhang Yuan was dispatched from Yuanshan's soldiers and horses. Ten thousand soldiers went out."
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said, "After you leave Yumen Pass for a while, go to the 10,000-yuan mountain army that was dispatched first and tell them that they will be ready to cooperate with Zhu Neng at any time.
Then you go and tell Zhu Neng again, and then pass the news from it.
Zhu Neng had the final say on how to fight and how to use the soldiers and horses of Yuanshan Department. "
Yuyou nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji seemed to think of something, and asked, "Who is the leader of Qingtang?"
Yuyou said solemnly: "Aruer and Mu Zhi..."
"Who?!"
"Aruul and Mu Zhi... Is there any problem?"
Seeing Kou Ji, Yuyou asked himself with a look of stunned expression, and answered cautiously.
Kou Ji took a deep breath and calmed down. There was no expression on his face. He instructed Yuyou: "You can send the order as soon as possible."
Yuyou hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask Aruul and Mu Zhi if they had any questions, but in the end they didn't ask any questions.
He gave Kou Ji a fist and left Kou Ji's house to pass the order.
After Yuyou left, Kou Ji couldn't help laughing out loud. After laughing for a long time, Kou Ji said with emotion: "Jiao Siluo, Jiao Siluo, you have given me too many surprises."
What surprises Jiao Si Luo gave to Kou Ji, Kou Ji didn't say, no one knew.
Kou Ji went out of the house refreshedly, and wandered around the streets in Yumen Pass. The soldiers and horses in Yumen Pass were frequently mobilized, and it was messy. Kou Ji shook him for a while before returning to the house.
When Di Qing was busy in Yangguan, there was still Li Di to speak with him anyway.
But in Yumen Pass, when Chong Shiheng was busy, Kou Ji became an idler, and no one could talk to him.
Du Yan is like an old master.
When I was with Kou Ji, he talked about the sage, and Kou Ji didn't bother to talk to him.
Unless absolutely necessary, Kou Ji does not intend to intervene in the military affairs of Yumen Pass.
So now the entire Yumen Pass is moving for military affairs, and he, the number one leader in the military, has become more laid-back instead.
Kou Ji returned to the house, washed a bit, lay on the bed, and exclaimed, "Someone has a good official in his hand."
Zhong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Wang Kai and other military officials have been trained, and now every one of them can sit on their side.
They can also deal with a big battle.
Kou Ji didn't have to fight on his own, fighting for the military.
Now he, as long as he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, tells Zhong Shiheng and others where to fight.
Many civil servants such as Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng are still being trained.
In a few years, they will grow up and enter the center.
The civil servants in Kou Ji's hands were also cultivated.
At that time, the civil and military affairs in the court do not need him to worry about.
At that time, he only needs to leisurely tell them what to do and let them do it.
If you're done well, get promoted, if you don't do well, pull out and play the board.
We all receive the merits together, and you have to bear it alone.
How can it be a cool word.
Kou Ji said with sincere emotion: "This is what an official should be like. That's the blame for those old folks who stay in the center for a long time and don't want to leave."
After sighing, Kou Ji fell asleep contentedly, and fell asleep until dawn.
After Kou Ji got up, he washed a lot and asked the people who were serving him, "How is the layout of the battlefield with the same knowledge?"
"The villain doesn't know, the villain only knows that it will take another day."
It was a sixteen-year-old kid who served Kou Ji.
Kind of Shiheng picked up.
I don't know where I picked it up.
After Kou Ji arrived at Yumen Pass, Zhong Shiheng asked him to come and serve Kou Ji.
It was Kou Ji. If another civil servant came, Chong Shiheng would arrange for a kid to serve him, and he would have to be sprayed after he returned to the imperial court.
Some people in the courtroom are spoiled, so I won't talk about where else they are going, first they have to send three or two beautiful ladies up to serve them.
Otherwise, I will turn my face with you.
This matter was the norm in the Song Dynasty.
The emperor gave the minister's mansion a stuffed girl when he was fine, and the minister was naturally happy.
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, almost a hundred girls were given to Kojese. Although Koj did not include those girls in the room, they all accepted them.
Therefore, it is not easy for him to come forward and criticize this matter.
And some of his elders who are close to him are also very unruly.
Kou Ji couldn't control those old guys, so naturally he couldn't control others.
Kou Ji sometimes felt that when the emperor picked up his concubine for three to five years, he was not only picking up his own concubine, but also choosing a concubine for the Manchu civil and military affairs.
After all, as many as a thousand women are sent by the people every time they pick up women.
It is enough for the emperor to make up the 72 concubines of the Sangong and the Sixth Court by himself, and the rest will inevitably be reduced to Gong'e and female officials.
And the emperor rewarded the Manchu civil and military, it was the beautiful ones between Gong E and the female officials.
The atmosphere is like this, it will be difficult to change for a while.
Kou Ji now only occasionally criticizes those officials who are slanderous in official terms. Kou Ji doesn't bother to care about what it looks like in private.
People hold an uncovered meeting at the mansion, or go to the fireworks willow alley to open an uncovered meeting, without notifying Kou Ji.
If Kou Ji deliberately went to investigate the matter, he caught Lu XX, Cao XX, Li XX, Zhu XX, and others, and everyone couldn't make a living.
Kou Ji simply ate something while being served by the teenager, and said to the teenager: "Come out with me for a walk..."
The boy agreed, carried something on his back, and followed Kou Ji out of the house.
Kou Ji spent a day in Yumen Pass.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place in Yumen Pass.
There were a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses in Yumen Pass before, but after Chong Shiheng's arrangement, there were less than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses left in Yumen Pass.
Where did the other 300,000 soldiers go.
Not many people know.
The closer the night is, the brighter the eyes of the soldiers in Yumen Pass.
When Yumen Pass was completely covered by darkness.
Kou Ji told the young man to go back to the house by himself, and he boarded the gate of Yumenguan alone.
On the head of the city.
Chong Shiheng was wearing a suit of armor, and Da Ma Jindao sat in front of the city gate. In front of him, there was a table of wine and food.
After seeing Kou Ji appear, he warmly invited: "I'm waiting for you..."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, walked over and sat in front of Zhong Shiheng.
"Does it need to improve morale like this? I promised to allocate land to the soldiers after the war. The morale of the soldiers rose one by one. There is no need to boost the morale of the soldiers like this."
What is the purpose of Zhong Shiheng's move? Kou Ji knew clearly that he just wanted to tell the soldiers two things.
One is to tell the soldiers that as the head of the army, I am in the most dangerous position, struggling with you on the death line, I am not afraid of death, and you do not have to be afraid of death, fight hard.
The second is to tell the soldiers that, as the head of the army, I sit here and eat and drink, and I don't care about the danger of the war. That means that this war has been won, and you can fight with confidence and boldness. Don’t get discouraged if you encounter a downturn once in a while, as I expected, if we continue to fight, we will win steadily.
After Kou Ji sat down, Zhong Shiheng poured a glass of wine for Kou Ji and said, "I'm calming the army."
Kou Ji picked up the wine glass and said with a laugh: "Why are you pulling me up?"
Before Kou Ji went to the top of the city, he actually didn't think about drinking and eating meat with Chong Shiheng.
He just wanted to go around the city and go back to sleep.
But after seeing Chong Shiheng put down the banquet, he guessed the thoughts of Chong Shiheng, so I asked this question.
Zhong Shiheng smiled and said, "Your official position is bigger than mine, and your name is bigger than mine. Although you are not good at military affairs, you have fought several battles that win more with less. You have reversed many battles that are hard to reverse in the eyes of ordinary people. Situation.
This time we are fighting back against the black sweat soldiers, and we are fighting more with less. With you, the soldiers will feel more at ease. "
Kou Ji smiled when he heard the words and did not speak any more.
In fact, in other dynasties, there were also people who set the minds of the army, but it was not as frequent as the Song Dynasty.
Whether it was Cao Wei or Chong Shiheng, they were forced to use various methods to calm their military minds before the war.
Da Song's previous military supervision system was too deceptive.
It is reasonable to say that the supervising army has the supervising team, and it is the kind that will not shrink back.
But when it really came to the battlefield, when the two sides really killed the red eye, the supervising army was the first to run.
As the supervisor ran away, the supervisor team would naturally not stay too much.
The supervising team ran away, but the other soldiers didn't run with them
Then everyone started running.
Over time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty developed the habit of observing the footsteps of the supervising army.
If the supervising army does not retreat, I will not retreat. If the supervising army dared to run, I ran immediately.
It happened that the supervising army of the Song Dynasty was either an eunuch or a civil servant. Among them, the bones were harder than the soldiers, but more of them were cartilage.
Once on the battlefield, the flesh and blood flew, and all the calves were soft, and they were still able to stay on the battlefield.
Anyway, the supervising army was the first to run, and any mistakes were made by the supervising army.
As for whether the supervising army will use the relationship to plant the head of the leader, the officers have no way to manage.
Anyway, the supervising army ran away first, and the soldiers would not be punished if they followed.
It is precisely because of this that before the war, Cao Wei and Chong Shiheng would find ways to calm their military minds.
This is to tell the soldiers that I don't care who ran behind, but if I don't run, you believe in me and just follow me.
Of course, Da Song soldiers need to be motivated before the battle, they need to be determined, and they are not only the pot of the supervising army.
Another part of the reason is that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have been pressed and beaten by others for decades, and there is not much confidence in their chests. They always feel that the field battle is not as good as others, and always feel that the field battle always wins first and then loses.
Therefore, the head coach needs to cheer up the soldiers before the battle.
The above two points are not difficult to see through the history of the Song Dynasty.
The generals of the kind and the generals of the Zhejia, based in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, have a great reputation.
However, the other forbidden forces in the Song Dynasty were not well-known in the middle and late period of the Song Dynasty.
Is it really because the Forbidden Army can't fight
It's not.
When the Forbidden Army did not decay, they called it the first pawn of the world at that time.
One ban and three supplements.
That is to say, there are three auxiliary soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and four people are counted as one person on the battlefield. How can it not be strong
The Great Song Imperial Army is strong enough to deal with any enemy.
But the first thing they had to face was the people of the Song Dynasty, because in the middle and late periods of the Song Dynasty, their main task was to suppress localities and suppress local rebellions.
So I rarely go out, so my reputation is not obvious.
Even if they were occasionally dispatched to the foreign battlefield, it was a group of grandpas who didn't know the soldiers sitting on their heads, and they tied them tightly to death, so that they couldn't let go of the battle at all.
The kind of family generals are different from the discount family generals. The soldiers and horses they lead have a certain degree of autonomy. There is no gang of grandfathers who don't know the soldiers to imprison them, so they can let go of the fight.
Therefore, the biggest reason for the great achievements of the kind family and the zhe family is that there are not many constraints.
After all, the Clan Army and the Zhejia Army were not included in the establishment of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
Regarding the source of troops, the type army and the zhejia army can only recruit troops in the northwest, and they hardly have the qualifications to pick and choose.
It's not like the Forbidden Army. It was a selection of recruits from the entire Song Dynasty, and the selected soldiers were also higher than the Kin Family Army and the Zhe Family Army.
In terms of armaments, the soldiers and horses outside the imperial army’s establishment are almost all leather armor, fan Yang Li and other things. Only basic officers such as school lieutenants can be equipped with iron armor.
The ordinary infantry of the Forbidden Army were equipped with infantry armor weighing tens of kilograms, not to mention the basic officers.
For other magic weapons such as heavy crossbows, bed crossbows, and god arm crossbows, the Forbidden Army is equipped in batches. For soldiers and horses outside the Forbidden Army's establishment, it is counted by one.
The two sides are not comparable from beginning to end.
So the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were not strong enough, nor were they unable to fight. It was simply too much restraint to let go of their hands and feet.
After decades of being bound by hands and feet, the courage is gone, and the battle can still be won.
Now Kou Ji let go of their hands and feet.
Now, sitting on the head of the city with Chong Shiheng, he is giving the soldiers courage and confidence.
Kou Ji drank a few glasses of wine with Chong Shiheng, and said with a smile, "Does our current piety mean a little bit of a whisper in the midst of talking and laughing?"
"Strong slave? Ashes to disappear?"
Zhong Shiheng groaned, "Among the black sweats, there should be many descendants of the Huns. However, it is not appropriate to compare them to strong slaves."
Kou Ji didn't explain much, but smiled and said, "Oh?"
Zhong Shiheng snorted, "They are also worthy of strong enemies?"
Kou Ji was taken aback and laughed.
Zhong Shiheng's expression sank, and he shouted, "Fire the cannon!!"
