"Hahaha... Koj, when you heard that the enemy came, all your scared pants fell off?"
While Kou Ji was talking to herself, Chen Lin's mocking voice sounded outside the tent.
"I knew it… "
Kou Ji held his forehead with his hands, feeling unspeakable depression in his heart.
Chen Lin laughed happily and entered Kou Ji's tent.
Staring at Kou Ji sitting in the tent, he said mockingly: "My family remembers that you have been on the battlefield many times, and you have faced countless powerful enemies. Why did you lose all your scared pants?"
Kou Ji put down his hand, glared at Chen Lin, and said angrily: "The pants were accidentally pulled off when they lifted me down. They weren't scared."
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Anyway, it's spread all over the army, saying that your pants were scared off when the enemy killed him. No matter how you explain it, it's useless."
Kou Ji said angrily: "I'm telling the truth."
Chen Lin laughed and said: "Is it important? Anyway, it won't be long before everyone in the world will know that you are the first cleric of my Da Song who was scared off his pants on the battlefield.
You are also a civil servant, and you should understand that the people are more willing to believe this than the truth. "
Kou Ji was annoyed, "Whoever spreads the rumors, I will kill him."
Chen Lin smiled and said, "All the lieutenants and soldiers are passing on, can you still kill them all?"
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin fiercely, "You must have contributed to the situation behind the scenes, right?"
Chen Lin said with an innocent look: "Our family hasn't done anything..."
Kou Ji didn't believe it at all, but he was helpless with the old things.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Lin came in, Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing entered the tent together.
As soon as he entered the tent, Chong Shiheng said to Kou Ji in a very firm tone: "Private Envoy, we have won..."
Di Qing echoed from the side: "Not only did we win, but we also captured a lot of prisoners. In the ravine and on the top of the mountain, a total of 150,000 prisoners were captured. An enemy soldier bypassed the top of the mountain and ran behind us. , I made arrangements behind our back, they can't escape.
When the war is over, it is estimated that some prisoners can be captured. "
Kou Ji took two deep breaths, calmed down, and said, "Where is the enemy now?"
Di Qing said solemnly: "The enemy is now fifteen miles away. Our scouts have been staring at them. If there is a turmoil, they will inform us as soon as possible."
Kou Ji nodded, "Clean the battlefield as soon as possible, and let the soldiers who should rest go down to rest. When the enemy comes again, we won't be so hasty."
Zhong Shiheng nodded and agreed, "I had already ordered to go down before I came."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "That's good..."
Zhong Shiheng opened his mouth and said, "How do the prisoners deal with it?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "Twist it with ropes for the time being and use it as a civilian."
When Zhong Shiheng heard this, he stopped talking.
After Kou Ji talked with them about official business, the expression on his face changed in an instant, "I heard that there have been some rumors in the army recently. Someone is still behind it?"
When Chong Shiheng and Di Qing heard Kou Ji's words, their expressions instantly became weird.
Zhong Shiheng smiled, his shoulders shook.
Di Qing was honest and honest. He said to Kou Ji: "Brother, some rumors have just been born in the army, which are related to you. However, the soldiers know the truth and know that you are not the kind of person who is greedy for life and fear of death.
The soldiers just took this matter as a joke, and no one took it seriously.
There is no one behind it. "
Kou Ji snorted, "Is my identity something they can talk about behind?!"
Di Qing looked embarrassed.
Zhong Shiheng suffocated and said with a smile: "Secretary Envoy, you have experienced a lot of wars, large and small, and even encountered enemy assassinations. The soldiers in the army know this.
They are now preaching about you dropping your pants, but they just find it interesting, not deliberately trying to discredit you.
You don't need to be angry. "
Kou Ji glared at Zhong Shiheng and said: "They can not take it seriously, but can the people in the country also take it seriously? The rumors stop at the wise, but how many wise men are there in this kind of thing?"
Zhong Shiheng smiled and said: "The soldiers have spread, and now they can't be stopped. You should also understand that defending the people is better than Fangchuan, and soldiers can't stop their mouths."
Kou Ji shouted: "Then find a way to block it for me."
Zhong Shiheng spread his hands and said decisively: "I can't help it."
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "If I can't think of it, I can't figure it out. The next time the enemy strikes, I will pull your pants out and throw them on the battlefield."
The smile on Zhong Shiheng's face instantly froze.
"Ahem..."
Just when Kou Ji was about to continue threatening Zhong Shiheng, Chen Lin suddenly coughed.
Kou Ji suddenly looked at Chen Lin and shouted: "You want to be pulled out of your pants and thrown on the battlefield too?"
Chen Lin changed the hippie smile just now, and solemnly said: "Our family has something serious to talk about."
Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Di Qing immediately changed their attitudes and looked at Chen Lin seriously.
Public is public, private is private, they are very clear.
Chen Lin also looked serious, "Just now, our family finally got in touch with the spies on the capital side. The spies on the capital side sent a message back saying that it was after the Ayan Ministry waited for the Seventh Ministry to leave. The Wu Lie tribe and the Xi Wang tribe joined hands and stormed the capital together.
Seeing that the capital was about to fall.
From the northeast of the upper capital, a squad came out.
Not only helped Yelvzong really defeat the Wulie and Xiwang tribes, but also drove them out of the upper capital ten miles away. "
The three Kou Ji were all taken aback when they heard this.
Kou Ji couldn't help but said, "Yelüzong really still has this kind of follower?"
Zhong Shiheng groaned: "He can endure until this time before letting his opponents attack. This endurance is far superior to ordinary people. At his age, if he can have this endurance, if he grows up, it must be a no-brainer. The hero who lost to Yelulongxu."
Di Qing said solemnly: "I'm even more curious about what kind of soldiers and horses it looks like, that can easily defeat the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi Tribe.
Although the soldiers and horses of the Wulie tribe have only recently been created, they can steadily occupy the first place among the nine new Khitan tribes and can also hold down the Xiwang tribe, which shows that their soldiers and horses are not weak.
Needless to say, the royal family of Xi, in the past, most of the Liao Kingdom’s foreign warfare was attended by members of the royal family of Xi, so their combat effectiveness was not weak.
Combining the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's Tribe, even if we deal with them, it will take a little bit of effort.
How strong are the soldiers and horses that can easily defeat them? "
Without waiting for the three of Kou Ji to speak, Di Qing continued: "When the capital was in danger, a strong support suddenly appeared. Will Yelulongxu be left to Yeluzong's true back, so that the backhand, Yelulongxu stayed again? How many
Everyone should know that before the rise of Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom was the overlord of the four seas.
The Liao Kingdom has been dominating for many years, and I am afraid that it has more background than we have seen.
If Yelu Longxu really left behind a lot for Yeluzong, then we will deal with it later, I am afraid we have to be more careful. "
As soon as Di Qing's voice fell, Chen Lin slowly said, "General Di don't have to worry too much. It is not so easy to help Yelv Zongzhen's soldiers and horses and defeat the soldiers and horses of Wu Lie and Xi Wang. A lot of strength, almost half of the casualties.
Our family feels that that should be the only back hand that Yelu Longxu left Yeluzong really.
If there were other back players, Yelv Zongzhen would not have watched such a strong army more than half of the dead. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji questioned: "What is the origin of that soldier?"
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said: "You may not believe it, that soldier and horse is not a soldier and horse of any Khitan tribe, but a Jurchen.
The number is only 20,000, and there are Jurchens born and mature Jurchens.
The leader is the Jurchen general who was pulled up by Yelu Longxu with one hand. "
Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng were a little surprised when they heard this.
Zhong Shiheng exclaimed: "Twenty thousand Jurchens can defeat the combined forces of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's tribe who attacked the capital city by tens of thousands. The strength is not so strong."
Kou Ji’s focus is different from that of Zhong Shiheng. After hearing Guli’s name, he groaned: “If I remember correctly, Zhu Guli was a general in the Pishi Army before, and was later killed. He was dispatched to the North of Liao State to serve as a guard general, led by a part of soldiers and horses composed of pure Liao people.
Now he changed his body and became the commander-in-chief of a powerful Jurchen tribe.
Could it be that Yelu Longxu's many arrangements for him before were blindfolds
Also, although there are many Jurchens in Liao, most of them are scattered all over Liao.
The biggest among them is the Jurchen tribe in Bohai.
The clansman barely had 20,000 or 30,000 people.
When the sniper Yelv Zongzhen returned to the upper capital before, more than three thousand people came out and gave Yelv Zongzhen a cruel one.
The remaining part became our captives, and the other part ganged up among the murderers.
Where did the 20,000 Jurchen tribe's soldiers and horses come from? "
Kou Ji finished speaking.
Chen Lin, Chong Shiheng, and Di Qing looked at each other. The questions Kou Ji asked were also what they wanted to know.
Kou Ji saw Chen Lin's look the same as Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, and stared at Chen Lin and asked, "Don't you know?"
Chen Lin smiled bitterly, "If our family knew it, we would tell it. We wouldn't hide it at all."
Zhong Shiheng speculated: "Yelülongxu's arrangement in the bones should be a blind eye. As for the two thousand female gens that suddenly appeared, it should be secretly recruited by Yelulongxu while he was alive.
They defeated the more than one hundred thousand coalition forces of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi Tribe with the number of 20,000, which shows that they are elites who can conquer well.
They should have been in the army continuously, and they should have participated in a lot of battles. "
Kou Ji frowned and said: "As far as I know, the Liao people have not used any unknown soldiers and horses in the war in recent years, and there has not been a large number of Jurchens."
Di Qing thought about it and said, "With Yelu Longxu's previous power, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a soldier and horse to a place we don't know about for training
He may not be able to fight with Jurchens in large quantities, nor can he recruit Jurchens in large quantities.
But he can recruit and practice quietly.
There are quite a few Jurchens in Liao.
He picks a few people from a tribe, and he can pick many people in a circle.
Pick a little bit in a year, and in a few years you can pick out a 20,000-thousand soldiers. "
Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng and Chen Lin nodded together when they heard Di Qing's words.
They felt that what Di Qing said was reasonable and should be very close to the truth.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there was no news before the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers.
After nodding, Zhong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "We actually don't need to care how they came. Although they defeated the soldiers of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's tribe, they only took the soldiers of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's tribe. The horse expelled a certain distance, but did not completely annihilate the two soldiers and horses.
Then the soldiers and horses of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's Tribe, after reorganizing, are likely to attack the capital again.
Winter is coming soon.
The road was blocked by heavy snow in winter, and there was no way to march.
But it did not prevent the troops of Wulie and King Xi from attacking the capital. "
The soldiers and horses of Wulie and King Xi were near the upper capital, and there was no need for long-distance marches at all, so even if the road was blocked by heavy snow, the impact on them would not be great.
They just need to expend some troops to clear the snow.
Both Kou Ji and Di Qing nodded in agreement.
Zhong Shiheng continued: "If the members of the Wulie Tribe and King Xi's Tribe attacked the capital again, they would definitely fight to the end. Because the war had hit them for their sake, they had no choice but to take the capital.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the Jurchen soldiers and horses can survive the attack of the combined forces of the Ulie and the Xi kings. "
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Let them bite. When they bite out the results, it is estimated that spring will begin next year. At that time, we will just go to pick up the bargain."
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing nodded with a smile.
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two go down and do things. Don't forget that we still have a group of murderers to deal with."
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing arched their hands and exited the tent.
Chen Lin took a step and was about to leave, but was stopped by Kou Ji.
"stop!"
Kou Ji shouted at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin heard Kou Ji's bad tone and glanced at Kou Ji and said: "What is the order of Shumi Kou?"
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and said, "Let your spies who travel between Bianjing and here don't tell me nonsense. If there is any rumors from Bianjing, I will ask the official to participate in you."
Chen Lin rolled her eyes and said: "Our house is not so busy!"
Kou Ji snorted.
Chen Lin tossed her sleeves and left the tent.
Outside the tent.
The soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, counting the prisoners, and re-arranging defenses.
The soldiers had been busy until the night before they finished their work.
Just when Kou Ji lit a candle and was about to verify the merits of the soldiers in accordance with the official documents sent by the army to join the army.
Di Qing appeared in the tent.
"Brother, Li Si and the others caught more than 30,000 prisoners by the side of the mountain, and the leader of them was the leader of the Longevity Sect."
Kou Ji paused when he lifted the pen with his hand, and asked a little unexpectedly, "I've caught someone with an identity?"
Di Qing nodded and said: "Li Si and the others have done a great job this time, but unfortunately they are loyal soldiers. They have done the same, and the court can't directly last time, nor can they add officials to them."
Kou Ji put down his pen and said, "You don't care about their merits. The officials ask Jiaozhi to send troops. The soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi have made merits here, and the officials will naturally give King Jiaozhi an explanation.
At that time they will get their due reward from King Jiaozhi. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji groped his chin and said, "The leader of the Longevity Sect, you bring me up to see him."
Di Qing heard the words and hurriedly said: "The man painted himself colorfully, and he is a woman, which is really unsightly. I handed him over to Chen Lin, and asked Chen Lin to wash her up, and then give it to you. send over."
When Kou Ji heard this, his whole body was not good.
"When I saw her, I was a prisoner of interrogation, and I didn't favor her."
Di Qing explained in tears and laughter: "I naturally know that my elder brother is not good at female appearance. I asked Chen Lin to wash her mainly because she applied too many things on her body and the smell was too great, and I was afraid you could not stand it.
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "How much taste can it have?"
Di Qing smiled bitterly: "The two Jiaozhi soldiers who were in charge of capturing her almost passed out..."
Kou Ji was taken aback and couldn't help saying: "That's really big..."
The soldiers in the army usually stay in the barracks full of sweat and smell, and they are used to the smelly environment.
If you can smoke them, you are about to faint, which shows that the smell on the other party is really not normal.
"When someone washes it up, bring it over, I have something to ask."
Kou Ji gave an order.
Di Qing agreed, bowed and exited the tent.
Kou Ji mentioned that he had begun to verify the merits of the soldiers and verified it for a while.
Chen Lin showed up in Kou Ji's tent with someone.
Chen Lin was carrying four powerful eunuchs. They held a woman in her 30s. The woman's cheeks were red, and her face was full of panic and timidity.
The woman is Tuktudoi, the leader of the Changshengjiao.
She was so flustered and timid, because Chen Lin acted too ruthlessly.
In order to clean the dirt and some paint on the woman's body, Chen Lin took a hard-bristled brush and brushed her hard.
Brushed her skin red.
If it weren't for her rough skin, Chen Lin could brush a layer of skin off her.
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of torture.
Some people may question, saying that she is not even afraid of death, why is she afraid of torture
In fact, people who are afraid of death do not mean that they are not afraid of torture.
Many prisoners have the courage to commit suicide, but they do not have the courage to face torture.
Because most of the torture makes life worse than death.
Kou Ji glanced up and down at the ordinary and flustered Tuktudoyi, and slowly said, "What's your name?"
Tuktudu Doi heard Kou Ji's opening, shivered, and hurriedly said: "Tuktudu Doi!"
Kou Ji continued to ask: "Are you the leader of the Changshengjiao?"
"Yes!"
Tuktudoyi quickly answered.
Kou Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I am the Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Kou Ji!"
Tuktudoyi was taken aback, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
Kou Ji looked stunned, "Am I so scary?"
Tuktudu Doi glanced at Kou Ji and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Listen... I heard that you killed more people than our longevity sect..."
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said in confusion: "Is this really the leader of the Longevity Sect?"
Longevity Education is also one of the nine new Khitan tribes, thinking about a major force in the Liao Kingdom.
The leader is this kind of stuff
As soon as Chen Lin was about to speak, she heard Tuktudoyi preemptively say: "I am! I am!"
Kou Ji looked at Tuktudoyi in disbelief, and said: "The Changshengjiao can occupy the Jingdong Road in the Liao Kingdom, and its influence is not small.
Just like you, can you control this longevity education? "
Tuktududuo said in embarrassment: "It is the god who controls the Changshengjiao. I am only helping the gods to convey the oracle."
Hearing this, Kou Ji suddenly understood why she could control the longevity education.
Insufficient strength, religion comes to make up.
As long as the people still have faith in and fear of the gods, she can control a power in the name of the gods.
Kou Ji stared at Tuktududuoyi and said, "I believe you are the leader of the Longevity Sect. I have something to ask you, and you must answer truthfully."
Tuktudoyi hurriedly said: "I must know that everything is endless."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Tell me how many soldiers and horses your ministries have, whose soldiers and horses are strong, and whose soldiers and horses are weak."
Tuktudu Doi hurriedly spoke, telling almost everything he knew.
The news from Tuktudoyi's mouth was almost exactly the same as the news heard by the scouts in the army and the spies in Chen Lin's hands.
In other words, her news is of no value to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "My people didn't seize much money when they took the Jingnan Road, Jingdong Road, and Hexi Road in Liao.
When the forces on your side were raging in the territory of Liao, they should have raided a lot of money.
Now, I want to know, where did you hide that money? "
Hearing this question, Tuktudoyi showed a slight hesitation on his face.
Kou Ji's face was slightly cold, "You don't have to say..."
Before Kou Ji could finish speaking, Tuktudoyi quickly said: "Most of them are hidden in Jingnan Road and Jingdong Road, and some of them are taken by ourselves and buried in the Guanyin Temple outside the capital.
Kou Ji raised his brows, "Where are they all?"
Tuktudoyi said with a bitter face: "The part of the Longevity Sect is buried under a mountain in Jingdong Road. I don't know where the money of the Ayan tribes is buried."
Kou Ji heard this and said thoughtfully: "The reason why you are eager to go south is for the money, right?"
Tuktudoyi nodded with a wry smile.
Kou Ji nodded and said, "It seems that there is a lot of money. The Wulie tribe can lay down the money and continue to attack the capital. It does have a bit of courage."
After saying this, Kou Ji stared at Tuktududuoyi and said, "You can go down. For the sake of your obedience, I can spare your life."
Tuktudu Doi hurriedly thanked Kou Ji for not killing.
Kou Ji waved his hand, and Chen Lin ordered the eunuch to escort Tuktudoyi out of the tent, but Chen Lin did not leave.
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin, who was standing silently, and said angrily: "The official is now rich and rich, so do you want to be greedy for the money?"
