Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly: "The villain didn't want to fight Danshan City, he just wanted to scare him, who knew that he was so unbeaten......"

Hearing this, the corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, although he had already known the process of Zhang Yuan's attack on Danshan City through Yuyou, but at this moment, listening to Zhang Yuan's personal narration, Kou Ji still felt a little ridiculous.

"So...... You forcibly occupied Danshan City and became the lord of Danshan City? ”

Kou Ji asked coldly.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not the villain who wants to forcibly occupy Danshan City, it's the leader of the yellow-headed Huifu, after learning that the villain forcibly occupied Danshan City, he found the villain and asked for money."

He sent someone to tell the villain.

said that if the villain could give him enough benefits, he would ignore the fact that the villain attacked Danshan City, and let the villain occupy Danshan City and be the lord of a city.

If the villain refuses to give it to him, he will make it difficult for our caravan to move an inch in the territory of the Yellow Head Hui.

The villain saw that he did not ask for much benefit, so he agreed to him.

The villain is also doing this in order to help the little master get more horses as soon as possible. ”

Liu Heng listened to the conversation between the two and was speechless in shock.

Koji has a city in the Western Regions, and it's still on the territory of the enemy they're about to face?!

Anyone who tells this will find it ridiculous.

But in the Western Regions, this is just the possibility of happening.

Most of the forces in the Western Regions are mainly nomadic.

People in the Western Regions like to live in tents and stay in the vast grassland.

Only a few poor people will choose to live in the city, help others herd horses and sheep, or grow barley to make a living.

There are also merchants in the past, or some big nobles, who live in the city.

Therefore, the cities in the Western Regions are divided into two types.

One is a large city where the great nobles lived, and there were countless merchants in it, and it was very prosperous.

The other is that the people get together, look for some ruins of the ancient city, and live in the city.

The former kind of city was guarded by the private soldiers of the major nobles.

The major forces also attach great importance to this kind of city.

In the event of an attack, a heavy force will be sent to recapture it.

In the latter kind of city, only scattered small tribes and ordinary people are like village soldiers and horses to protect them.

This kind of city is very small, most of them are in barren places, and the soldiers and horses are not strong in combat, and they are often patronized by various horse thieves.

The major forces also don't pay much attention to this kind of city.

As long as the people of the city are willing to pay them taxes, or the horse thieves who patronize them, and are willing to give them a part of the spoils, they will not care too much about its gains and losses.

The Danshan City in Zhang Yuan's mouth is this kind of city.

Liu Heng heard a little about it when he was in Qingtang.

Danshan City is located at the foot of Daxue Mountain, in the northeast of the territory of Huangtou Huifu, close to the northwest corner of the territory of Qingtang.

It belongs to the junction of two major powers.

There are horse thieves who run rampant, and there are thieves who are wreaking havoc.

It is too small for Qingtang, and Qingtang can't look down on it.

After occupying it, Qingtang had to spend a lot of manpower to clear out the horse thieves entrenched around it.

However.

There is a steady stream of horse thieves in the Western Regions.

In fact, Qingtang can kill it if he wants to?

So he let the Qingtang warriors fall into that rotten quagmire, and it is better to throw it to the horse thieves to shelter.

It is also a chicken rib for the yellow-headed Hui Hui who occupies it.

There are many horse thieves who can't finish killing, just like leeks, killing a batch and growing a batch.

It's better to leave it to the horse thieves to shelter.

The Yellow Head Hui can borrow the power of horse thieves and help them do things that they don't have good things to do.

Occasionally, you can go to the horse thief and collect a fortune.

Why not.

It can be said that Danshan City is the shelter reserved by Qingtang and Huangtou Hui for the horse thieves at the junction of the two major forces.

In short, it was the stupidest move to eliminate horse thieves in the Western Regions.

Harvesting and controlling is the smartest thing to do.

Liu Heng could understand Zhang Yuan's occupation of Danshan City, but he still felt frightened.

There are countless horse thieves around Danshan City, and there are only two kinds of people who can sit on the throne of the city lord of Danshan City.

One is a puppet introduced by other horse thieves.

The other is the person who can really suppress all the horse thieves around Danshan City.

Zhang Yuan is clearly the latter.

How can the horse thieves who can control the two major forces in their own hands, how can they be ordinary people?

Kou Ji heard Zhang Yuan's explanation and snorted coldly: "Get a horse for me? That's a beautiful thing to say. Do you know that in order to defend the broken city, the man who patrolled the horse guard died a hundred people this year.

When did I let you trade your life for a horse? ”

Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face: "The villain naturally knows...... It's just that occupying Danshan City is not the villain's mind alone. The Fish Commander is also thinking about this. The two brigades patrolling the horse guard are also thinking about this.

After the villains occupied Danshan City, the loss was greater.

The horses you can get for the little master are also thirty percent more. ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "Did they agree at the beginning? It's not the result of your lobbying yet. If you don't lobby them, they'll agree to take possession of the ruined city?

Put away your pitiful expression.

I know exactly who you Zhang Yuan are.

If it weren't for Yuyou and the two patrol guards, they all felt that your merits were greater than your faults, and your head would have been dried long ago. ”

Under the scolding of Koji.

Zhang Yuan put away the bitter look on his face and stood in front of Kou Ji with a facial expression.

His appearance just now was obviously faked.

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Who are you?" I'm a man from Kofu. Before you became the city lord, did you think about how this matter would affect me when it reached the Great Song Dynasty?

If it were known that the people of my Kou Mansion were outside the territory and seized the land and claimed the lordship, how would the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty view me? ”

Zhang Yuan hung his head and said in a deep voice: "The villain's crime deserves death!" ”

Kou Ji ordered: "From today onwards, fish swimming is the main thing, and you are the deputy." ”

Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked at Kou Ji with wide eyes.

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You're not satisfied?!" ”

Whew......

Two scimitars unsheathed.

Kou San and Chen Sheng, who were standing behind Zhang Yuan, drew the scimitar at their waists.

As long as Kou Ji gave an order, they could cut off Zhang Yuan's head.

It is true that the two of them followed Zhang Yuan, but they were Kou Ji's people.

Kou San is the grandson of the Koufu stable, and he is loyal to the Koufu.

Chen Sheng is Chen Juntou's nephew, and he is also loyal to Kou Ji.

The two of them, named Zhang Yuan's guards, were actually one of the means sent by Kou Ji to restrain Zhang Yuan.

Kou Ji knew the danger of this person, so he put layers of shackles on him.

Rao is like this, Zhang Yuan has already laid down a city in the Western Regions.

This shows Zhang Yuan's awesomeness.

Under Kou Ji's coercion, Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Villain...... Don't dare ......"

Kou Ji sneered: "I don't think you dare, but you are unwilling." I know you're upset...... Do you remember this unpleasant feeling......

In the future, you will do whatever I tell you to do.

I didn't let you do anything, and if you dared to do anything, I would spare you. ”

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "Thank you little young master for not killing." ”

Koji patted the table in front of him.

"Sit down and talk......"

Zhang Yuan sat down slowly.

Kou Ji's face softened a little, and asked, "How many people does my Kou Mansion control in the Western Regions now?" ”

Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Eighty-three thousand...... Among them, there are more than 30,000 people who can fight, and only 5,000 real elites, and the rest are all foxsquirrels.

The rest of the people are all people who are attached to Danshan City.

Now he is helping us herd horses and sheep. ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhu Neng is trapped in Shazhou, why didn't you bring troops and horses to help?" ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that the villain is unwilling to lead troops to help. But since General Zhu entered the Western Regions, he has never shown the jade plate that the little young master gave him, and he has never recruited the villain.

Even if the villain took the initiative to send someone to contact him, he was unwilling to meet him. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Zhu Neng is unwilling to expose you and not let my Kou Mansion get into trouble." ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he didn't say a word.

Kou Ji groaned: "After I go back, I will transfer five thousand elites out and rush to Shazhou with me." ”

Zhang Yuan arched his hand and said: "......"

Kou Ji said again: "After I bring people to Danshan City, you will send some miscellaneous fish to send them to death." At that time, I will fight all the way to Danshan City. You take the initiative to surrender.

Through this battle, the five thousand elites turned from darkness to light.

Also, I will erase all traces of you in the Great Song Dynasty when I look back.

From today on, you are no longer from my Koufu, nor are you from the Great Song Dynasty.

It's the city lord of Danshan City.

A city lord of Danshan City who is close to my Great Song and is willing to help my Great Song do things. ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You want me to be a lonely ghost in the Western Regions for the rest of my life?!" ”

These words came out of the mouth of a famous thief in the history books, and Kou Ji felt very awkward.

Kou Ji reached out and took out a bag from his arms and threw it to Zhang Yuan.

"Kou Zhong said, if you are disobedient, let you see this thing."

Zhang Yuan opened the bag, glanced inside, trembled, he carefully put away the bag, stared at Kou Ji, and said with a thin tone on the corner of his mouth: "Do I have a chance in my life to change back into a Song person?" ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and said, "Maybe soon...... Maybe we'll have to wait a long time......"

Zhang Yuan got up and said to Kou Ji: "The villain will do what you ordered properly......

Koji waved his hand.

Zhang Yuan bowed and exited the tent.

Zhang Yuan left.

Liu Heng's words box opened, "Fourth brother, you actually arranged such a backhand in the Western Regions, when did you arrange it?" Did you expect that there would be a great change in Shazhou, so you laid out the bureau early? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said faintly: "I'm not an immortal, how can I know about the changes in the Western Regions?!" ”

"Then why did you arrange such a big backhand in the Western Regions?"

"I started out to get some money and some ......"

"Impossible! There were 30,000 men who dared to fight. Do you know what it means for 30,000 warriors to fight in the Western Regions? 30,000 warriors who dare to fight are enough to conquer cities and establish a country in the Western Regions. ”

Liu Heng said seriously.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "30,000 people who dare to fight can establish a country? The Uighurs in Ganzhou have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can they be where? The Uighurs in Shazhou had nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses, but what about now?

There are nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses arriving in the Western Regions in the Great Song Dynasty, and 100,000 are about to arrive in the region.

All belong to the forbidden army.

Wouldn't that be able to conquer the entire Western Regions? ”

Liu Heng was a little speechless by Kou Ji.

After pondering for a while, he said solemnly: "Even if you can't establish a country, you can occupy a few cities and become a big clan under the command of many forces such as Qingtang and Huangtou Huifu." ”

"Out of 30,000 people, only 5,000 elites. The remaining 25,000 men were nothing more than a rabble of horse thieves. When homeopathic, they are naturally powerful.

But when the trend is reversed, they will definitely rush to the top.

Not advisable.

Nor do you rely on it. ”

Kou Ji analyzed a few sentences.

Liu Heng nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently.

He stared at Kou Ji with a solemn expression, and said, "Fourth brother, the matter of Kou Mansion controlling a city in the Western Regions, don't let others know......"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Heng in astonishment, "When did my Kou Mansion take control of a city in the Western Regions?" The one who controls a city is the fugitive servant of Koufu, and now the Western Regions, Zhang Yuan.

This person has nothing to do with my Kou Mansion now.

On this trip to the west, this person was able to help us with his men and horses, and it was just a master-servant relationship in the past. ”

Liu Heng rolled his eyes when he heard Kou Ji's words.

He despised Kou Ji's shameless behavior of telling nonsense with his eyes open.

"If you say this, someone must believe it!"

Kou Ji snorted, "Why don't you believe it? How many of the important ministers in the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Dynasty have escaped from our Great Song Dynasty? How many of them used to be my ministers of the Great Song Dynasty?

They can mix outside the Great Song Dynasty.

Can't the servants who have defected from my Koufu?

If anyone doesn't believe it, just go to the Western Regions to arrest Zhang Yuan, and arrest him to confront me in the vertical arch hall. ”

Kou Ji's words, Liu Heng really can't refute it.

Some of the important ministers in the Liao court are really ministers of the Great Song Dynasty in the past.

Among them, there are those who defected voluntarily.

There are also those who have been sent out.

Emperor Taizong conquered Liao three times and sent out dozens of large and small generals.

Some of them are good, and now they have become among the important ministers of the southern officials in the court of the Liao State.

The courtiers in the court of the Liao State were divided into northern officials and southern officials.

The northern officials are all nobles from the eight Khitan tribes.

The southern officials were held by a group of Han Chinese.

Therefore, in front of many official titles in Liao, the words north and south always appear.

Liu Heng groaned slightly: "In short, it is better for the fourth brother to have less contact with Zhang Yuan in the future." Otherwise, it is easy to be noticed. ”

Kou Ji knew that Liu Heng was doing it for his good, so he nodded slowly.

After Liu Heng nodded at Kou Ji, he smiled and said, "I see that Fourth Brother, you seem to be very defensive of Zhang Yuan, I don't know why?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said in a deep voice: "This person is very dangerous and needs to be strictly guarded against. ”

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "Then how about I help the fourth brother to add another precaution for you?" ”

"Oh?!"

"Don't tell you from the fourth brother, I have been in Qingtang for a long time, and many people have been favored by me and are close to me. The leaders of the Qingtang tribes were very dissatisfied with this and often excluded them.

Now some of them are about to be excluded and can't survive.

They are deliberately attached to my Great Song.

But it was strictly guarded by people, and he couldn't get out of the Qingtang territory.

Why don't you let them go to Danshan City? ”

After listening to Liu Heng's words, Kou Ji was stunned and stunned.

After a long time, he pointed at Liu Heng and smiled: "You kid...... Dishonest......"

Liu Heng laughed in a low voice: "It's the fourth brother who taught you well." ”
