Kou Ji opened his mouth after listening to Fan Zhongyan's account, but said nothing.
Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao State are two relatively large territories within the territory of Liao State. They are entwined with various tribes. In order to effectively manage these tribes, Liao State followed the Song system and established the Northwest Appeasement Department in its territory.
Its vast area is almost outsourced to the northern border of the Song Dynasty.
The easternmost end is close to the hinterland of Liao, and the westernmost end is close to the Black Khanate.
The territory area has almost reached the sum of the original Xixia and Hexi combined.
The people entrenched in it, to say nothing, have three million accounts.
Three million accounts, not three million people.
The account of the Liao Kingdom is equivalent to the household of the Song Dynasty.
It's just that the number of people in the Liao State account is far less than the number of people in the Song Dynasty.
But even so, with three million accounts, there must be about six million people.
Now all three million people are gone.
It is possible to be slaughtered, it is possible to join the team of murderers released by Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang, or it is possible that when the murderers enter the country, they pretend to be a murderer and create a rebellion against the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Three million accounts, six million people, no more.
Appalling.
Kou Ji was already shocked and speechless.
Fan Zhongyan stood aside and looked at Kou Ji cautiously. Seeing that Kou Ji was in shock, he didn't speak again.
Kou Ji was shocked for a long time, then took a deep breath, dropped the sweat towel in his hand, and asked Fan Zhongyan without expression, "Does the official know about this?"
Fan Zhongyan hurriedly said: "Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui have already written the matter into a memorandum and reported it to the official. After the official learned of the matter, they sent someone to pass the news to the lower official and ordered the lower official to wait here. You, tell you the truth about this."
Kou Ji stared at Fan Zhongyan and said, "How are the officials going to solve this matter?"
Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "The official said that this matter will be handled by you."
Kou Ji said with annoyed expression: "Did I handle it?!"
Fan Zhongyan smiled bluntly, before daring to speak.
When others learned that Wang Suihe and Yang Wenguang had released more than one million murderers and killed off the Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao State, they were all applauding Wang Suihe and Yang Wenguang.
But no one who can see the essence of this matter clearly thinks it is a good thing.
When Yang Wenguang and Wang Sui let the murderers out, they probably didn't think about controlling them. They probably wanted them to go to Liao to make trouble. It's best to make trouble in Liao and fight for more advantages for Song Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that after the more than one million murderers left the territory of the Song Dynasty, they were completely out of their control.
If those more than one million murderers really killed all the people on Northwest Road and Southwest Road in Liao State, it would be okay.
The problem is that they did not kill.
Even if they were able to kill, they would not be able to kill more than six million people in just one or two months.
It is even more impossible to complete a rapid march of thousands of miles while killing more than six million people.
Therefore, it is impossible for the more than one million murderers who ran out of the Song Dynasty to kill the people on the Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao State.
They should only kill a part of it, maybe a very small part.
Most of the people on the Northwest Road and Southwest Road of Liao State should have joined the murderers actively or passively after the murderers of the Song Dynasty entered the country, and accompanied them to burn, kill, and looting.
That's why they were able to eliminate the people on Northwest Road and Southwest Road in Liaoguo in a very short time.
In a very short period of time, he can complete a rapid march of thousands of miles and enter the southern and northern Beijing roads of Liao.
Therefore, the number of people involved in the disturbances in Liao is likely to exceed one million.
Kou Ji didn't dare to guess how many people there were.
Because over time, those who make trouble will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.
But as long as they run into people, they will either be crushed by them or join them. There is no third way to go.
As long as they are individuals, as long as they don't want to die, they will join them.
Their number will naturally increase exponentially.
Their development method is a bit like a civil uprising.
Hundreds and thousands of people rebelled against the flag, and then engulfed other people all the way, and grew bigger and bigger, and it would grow to hundreds of thousands of people in a very short period of time.
They are different from the people's uprising because they have a huge base from the beginning.
The development will be faster, the rise will be more rapid, and the harm will be greater.
Their number must have exceeded the point where they can be controlled by one person.
What they will do next is full of variables.
No one can tell.
They may wreak havoc in the territory of Liao, completely tearing Liao to pieces.
It is also possible to take advantage of the trend to invade the Song Dynasty and wreak havoc in the Song Dynasty.
They are more like locusts than the Black Khan soldiers led by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.
No... To be precise, the Black Khan soldiers led by the Black Khan King Yusufu are just like locusts, and they are real locusts.
The locusts cross the border, and no grass grows.
Before they perish, any city they are thinking of or they pass by will be eaten cleanly by them.
If they really attack Da Song, Kou Ji really has no way to deal with it.
Because Kou Ji calculated it a little bit, even if he pressed all of Da Song's forces on the border, he might not be able to withstand their impact.
Millions of people are swarming over, who will stop? Who dares to stop
A vagrant-style rebellion model of this scale has never happened in history, and there is no corresponding example to learn from.
So Kou Ji didn't know how to deal with it.
Even though the team formed in this way will fall apart after a short madness.
But with their scale, before they fell apart, it was enough to shatter some of the things in front of them.
Fan Zhongyan also knew the seriousness of the matter, so after Kou Ji became angry, he did not dare to speak.
After a brief vent, Kou Ji took a few deep breaths and calmed down.
It's no use for him to get angry anymore.
He must calm down and find a way to solve this problem.
Kou Ji frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked Fan Zhongyan, "How about Yan Yun's battle?"
Fan Zhongyan hurriedly replied: "Yan Yun's battle is also very chaotic. After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu arrived at Youzhou City with his soldiers and horses, he has been attacking Youzhou City, but he did not exert his full strength.
He wanted to drag my Da Song's army, to lure Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang to the bait by enticing the enemy to go deeper, and to defeat my Da Song's soldiers from the side.
To reverse the situation on the battlefield.
However, Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang were not fooled.
After Wang Kai and Li Zhao took over Yunzhou, Yingzhou and other places, they stayed where they were.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's strategy to lure the enemy deeper did not work.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu couldn't make a plan, so he wanted to use the second plan.
It was just that before he had waited for the shot, news came out that the capital of Shangjing had been breached in the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had to stop the plan temporarily and began to appease the soldiers in the army. "
At this point, Fan Zhongyan stopped.
Kou Ji questioned: "Cao Wei didn't take the opportunity to attack?"
Fan Zhongyan shook his head slowly.
Kou Ji pondered: "How did the capital of the hinterland of Liao State break through?"
Fan Zhongyan hurriedly told Kou Ji that Zhao Zhen had secretly arranged Liu Heng to attack Shangjing. At the end, he added: "Liu Heng did not stay after breaking the Shangjing, but withdrew with the seizures in Shangjing. To the capital.
The seizure has been sent to Dengzhou of Song Dynasty by the big ship, and Wang Xianggong has rushed to Dengzhou to receive it.
Liu Heng himself still stayed in the territory of Liao with his people, dealing with the Liao soldiers who stayed behind in the territory of Liao.
A month ago, the reinforcements from Jiaozhi moved up along the coast and arrived in the territory of Liao, where they joined forces with Liu Heng.
Nowadays, places such as the northeast of the upper capital of Liao State are also in chaos. "
Kou Ji heard this and said with emotion: "There are Liu Heng and Jiaozhi soldiers in the northeast, Da Song in the south, and a large number of murderers in the west. The current situation of Liao Kingdom can be said to be embarrassed on all sides.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu tried his best to create a situation where things were attacking us in the Song Dynasty.
I, Da Song, survived.
Nowadays, Liao is embarrassed on all sides, but I want to see how Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu should deal with it. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan and said: "Cao Wei did not take the opportunity to defeat the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, he should be waiting for the Liao Dynasty to be more thorough. If the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu is forced to retreat, Cao Wei You can take down the sixteen states of Yanyun without blood.
Good fighters have no great merits.
Sure enough.
The Liao Kingdom is no longer enough to be afraid, but the huge number of thugs can't deal with it. "
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Fan Zhongyan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
He felt that the current situation on the battlefield was no different from what Kou Ji analyzed.
Kou Ji sighed, "Wang Sui and Yang Wenguang are just great mallets, and all evil spirits dare to let them go."
Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "They are also compelled. If they don't let those evil spirits go out, those evil spirits are likely to harm my Da Song."
Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Then they shouldn't have set the reward for military merit so generous. When Qin established the military merit system, there were only four million people in the country.
Four million people beat the six countries violently, which shows how attractive the military system is to the people.
For those prisoners who have suffered a lot, the attraction is even greater.
They will sacrifice their lives for military merit. "
Fan Zhongyan also felt that the military merit rewards set by Yang Wenguang and Wang Suixing were a bit too generous.
Kou Ji sighed again and said with a solemn expression: "Although the murderers are still raging in Liao, we have to guard against it. Fortunately, they are now outside the Great Wall.
If we can win the Great Wall across the board, we should be able to keep them out if we guard the Great Wall. "
Millions of murderers are raging like landslides and tsunami, which is no longer a normal force to resist.
Only with the help of the Great Wall.
Maybe there is still a bit of blocking the hope of the murderer.
Kou Ji took Fan Zhongyan back to the temporary study room in the station, and started writing the transfer order with a brush.
Kou Ji wrote more than a dozen orders in one go, each of which faced a local soldier.
Kou Ji dispatched all the remaining local soldiers in the Song Dynasty to the Great Wall from Xiliang City to Yunzhou in one breath.
After writing the order, Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows, "Three hundred and sixty thousand people, guarding the thousands of miles of the Great Wall, are still a bit weak. They have to find a way to increase their strength."
Kou Ji took out half of his own soldiers' seals, and after stamping them one by one, he handed over the order to Fan Zhongyan.
"Send personnel to quickly return to Bianjing City, hand over the transfer order to the Zhengshitang, let the Zhengshitang stamp the stamp as soon as possible, and then send it to the Ministry of War, let it stamp the military stamp, and send it to the local government as soon as possible.
Within a month, I will see all the 360,000 local soldiers dispatched by me appear on the Great Wall. "
Fan Zhongyan hesitated while holding the transfer order.
Kou Ji's words were a bit too tough, and there was a faint meaning to order the Zhengshitang to do something.
The three prime ministers of the Zhengshitang are not what Kou Ji can command.
If a trouble is not good, it is a civil and military controversy that swept the Song Dynasty.
Kou Ji seemed to see Fan Zhongyan's thoughts. He took a deep breath and said, "A catastrophe is imminent, and I don't have so many worries, let alone being so complicated.
You send someone to tell Lu Yijian three people exactly what I said.
If it is within a month, 360,000 local soldiers will not be able to reach the Great Wall.
I resigned and took the whole family to escape from Da Song to avoid disaster.
After the disaster is over, I will bring people back to collect the corpses for you. "
Fan Zhongyan was startled when he heard the words, "Is it so serious?"
Kou Ji gave Fan Zhongyan a sideways look, "That's a few million people, not a few hundred people. If you really enter my Song Dynasty, who can stop it?"
Fan Zhongyan's face was a little ugly and said, "The lower officials thought you would have a way."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I am a man, not a god. When the locusts cross the border, I can only watch them, and I can't stop them at all."
After saying this, Kou Ji slumped in the seat somewhat weakly.
Fan Zhongyan asked unwillingly: "Is there really no way?"
Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said, "If we can drive the Liao people out of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun and completely control the Great Wall before they give birth to the mind of my Song Dynasty.
With the Great Wall, with the combined strength of one million troops from the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army and the local soldiers, maybe one or two can be resisted. "
Fan Zhongyan gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Is there a sure way?"
Kou Ji froze for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Yes..."
Fan Zhongyan stared in vain, and said in surprise: "Are you sure you can deal with them?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Getting a plague will not only prevent them from invading my Da Song, but also make them extinct in a very short time."
The joy on Fan Zhongyan's face instantly stiffened, and his heart trembled.
Kou Ji continued: "The plague that can kill millions of people is not easy. At that time, Da Song will also pay a heavy price. It is possible that the same number of people as them will die, and there may be more.
And outside the Great Wall, it may become a dead place. I am afraid that no one will dare to set foot in it within a dozen years. "
"No... No... You can't use the plague..."
Fan Zhongyan shouted in horror.
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I just said casually, are you serious? Is the plague thing I can control?"
Fan Zhongyan stared at Kou Ji with a pale expression.
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then stared slightly, "Do you really think I can control the plague?!"
Fan Zhongyan hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembled voice: "I don't believe what others say. Mr.'s words... I believe."
Hearing this, Kou Ji said dumbfounded: "You really have faith in me."
Fan Zhongyan squeezed an ugly smile on his face.
Kou Ji sighed and said: "I can't control that thing. Even if I can borrow it, I won't use it. I can kill people with a knife, and I can even kill countless enemies with conspiracies.
But I will never kill people with the plague.
I am a man, not a demon.
Only the devil will go astray to control the plague and use it to kill people. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji got up and patted Fan Zhongyan on the shoulder, "You are on guard in Shaanxi Prefecture. If I can't stand it in front, I will send you an order to conscript in Shaanxi Prefecture."
Fan Zhongyan looked at Kou Ji with a stunned look, and didn't understand what Kou Ji's words meant.
Kou Ji took a deep breath.
Fan Zhongyan looked astonished.
Kou Ji faintly said: "In the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were only 4 million people in Shaanxi Prefecture, and they beat the Six Nations. Now, there are more than 4 million people in Shaanxi Prefecture. I want to see if they can beat that number violently. Millions of murderers."
Fan Zhongyan was stunned and stunned. After a long time, Fan Zhongyan hesitated and said: "Kou Shimi valued the people of Shaanxi Prefecture? Is it because Kou Shimi was born in Shaanxi Prefecture?"
Kou Ji smiled, "It has nothing to do with the region. In China, other places can talk about the region, but Shaanxi Province can't talk about the region. The Qin destroyed the six countries, and the nobles of the six countries moved here; the Han was strong and weak, and more Of people migrated here.
So here, there is no way to divide people by region, let alone who is from that region.
Moreover, no matter where people are, they are all Chinese.
Since they are all Chinese, there should be no geographical distinctions, nor should they be valued or despised because of the region.
The reason why I chose this place is because the people here struggled and lived on the borders of the Great Song Dynasty.
More or less familiar with war.
Enlisting them into the army, coupled with the encouragement of the military merit system, they should be able to explode in a very short period of time that is not defeated by the local soldiers.
With their help at that time, it should relieve some of our pressure. "
Fan Zhongyan said in disbelief: "Then you mentioned the Pre-Qin..."
Kou Ji sighed and said: "You only saw the benefits of the military merit system brought to the pre-Qin period, but you did not see the disadvantages of the military merit system brought to the pre-Qin period. Qin conquered the six nations, but in the process, four million Surname, how many people died, who knows? Who cares? Who counts?"
Fan Zhongyan was shocked.
When the upper ranks are fighting, they always keep their eyes on the battlefield, and only care about the victory or defeat of the war. Few people care about the people.
When most people read history, they saw how pre-Qin tyrannical, how domineering, how to conquer the world, and how to build a world-famous achievement.
But few people know how many white bones are buried under that tyrannical, domineering, aspiring world, and world-renowned achievements.
Fan Zhongyan couldn't feel some history in the pre-Qin period.
However, Fan Zhongyan can faintly feel the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which are the closest to the Great Song Dynasty.
Five dynasties and ten countries, nearly 70 years of war.
How many people died
Nearly 40 million people.
Forty million people, what a huge number.
It is almost equivalent to half of the total population of Da Song.
Those literati and writers wrote essays, praised the heroes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, scolded the bears of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, admired the beauties of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and counted down the emperors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
But few people complained of grievances for the 40 million people who died.
Hing, the people suffer.
Death, the people suffer.
It's really not just casual talk.
Fan Zhongyan probably wants to understand the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji was telling Fan Zhongyan that when it was time to recruit people from the Shaanxi government, that was when the Song Dynasty was at its most dangerous.
At that time, countless lives were needed to fill, and countless lives were needed to consume.
Until the enemy and the enemy can't hold it.
The people of Shaanxi Province were temporarily transferred, and it is very likely that many people will die.
As the prefect of Shaanxi Prefecture, Fan Zhongyan's heart trembled when he thought of the ten rooms and nine empty spaces in Shaanxi Prefecture.
Kou Ji saw Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and comforted: "The situation may not happen to that point, so don't think too much. I just make early preparations to avoid the situation becoming difficult to deal with when the situation deteriorates. "
Fan Zhongyan heard Kou Ji comforting him, raised his head slightly, and forced an ugly smile on his face.
Kou Ji continued: "I can't stay here any longer. I have to rush to Youzhou City as soon as possible to urge the officials and Cao Wei to end the war as soon as possible and take the Great Wall in our hands as soon as possible.
If we cannot master the Great Wall, then there is really no hope. "
After saying this, Kou Ji patted Fan Zhongyan on the shoulder and left the study.
Out of the study, Kou Ji loudly greeted his trilogy, personally follow the official, and the official, and rushed as soon as possible.
When the family officer greeted Kou Ji, he glanced at the sky and couldn't help but said: "Private Secretary Kou, it's getting late, is it a bit inappropriate for us to go on the road now."
Kou Ji didn't explain much, but coldly ordered, "Do as I said."
Hearing this, the family officer did not dare to say any more, and immediately went down to prepare for the baggage with others.
Everything is ready later.
Kou Ji rushed out of the station in the darkness that had just ended.
Behind him, the trilogy, the official official, and the official official closely followed.
After hearing the sound of horseshoes, Fan Zhongyan stumblingly chased him out of the station and roared loudly as he watched Kou Jina's figure disappearing into the night.
"You must win!"
"Must win!"
"..."
Fan Zhongyan seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so his voice spread far, far away.
There was a faint echo, repeating his words over and over again.
After Kou Ji ran out of Binzhou Station, he rushed to Youzhou City non-stop.
Kou Ji rushed to the Tongguan Station without rest.
After the **** horse neighed, it fell to the ground and never got up again.
Kou Ji didn't care about pity the horse, and after changing into a horse in the inn, he continued to ride the horse to Youzhou City.
Three days and two nights later.
Kou Ji path Kaifeng Mansion Station.
Three figures, one large, two small, stood in front of the station, looking forward to it.
