After listening to Liu Heng's words, Kou Ji first shook his head, and then nodded.

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji in confusion.

Kou Ji said earnestly: "After this Northwest War, it is difficult for you not to be dazzling. In the past, in the first battle of Lanyuan, there were a number of soldiers who shot and killed Xiao Tzulin, the general of Liao, with a bed crossbow, which has been recited by the people of the world to this day.

The Xiao Xiaomu you killed is more famous than Xiao Tzu Rin, and it is impossible to keep it from the public.

So when you return to Beijing, you are destined to be dazzling.

After you return to Beijing, you will resign from the official family as the official secretary of the Imperial City, and join the ranks of the military ministers, and then you will be among the military ministers in the palace.

You are a minion of an official family, and when you appear in the court, it is inevitable that some people will look down on you or even look down on you.

So you have to have some of your own team, your own connections, and your own cronies. ”

Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, pondered for a while, looked at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother wants me to take the opportunity to recruit Wang Kai, Liu Qi, and Guo Yi?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Wang Kai, don't think about it, Wang Kaizu is the founding general, although the Wang family has declined, it is also a general." Wang Kai is bent on restoring the glory of his great-grandfather when he was alive, so naturally he will not be attached to other people's disciples.

On the contrary, Liu Qi and Guo Yi were from humble backgrounds, and they were targeted in their early years and spent a lot of time.

Now there is a great need for merit promotion, and it is very easy to recruit.

Don't look at the two of them are a little old, but their skills are not weak.

The Suide Army, the Longzhou Garrison, and the two miscellaneous armies were brutally made by the two of them.

The two of them have lived cautiously for most of their lives, and they have already figured out the doorway in the officialdom.

Attaching to your door will not cause you trouble, but will only help you increase your reputation.

So the two of them are well worth your call. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Liu Heng was in a trance, "After I return to Beijing, do I have to resign from the position of the Imperial City Division?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "I've been in the Imperial City Division for a long time, and I'm actually a little reluctant. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and ignored Liu Heng.

Why Liu Heng was reluctant to give up the Imperial City Division, Kou Ji could probably guess a thing or two.

Liu Heng is not reluctant to hold the official position of the Imperial City Division, he is reluctant to give up some of the personnel of the Imperial City Division cultivated by his father and son for two generations, and he is also reluctant to give up the power of the Imperial City Division.

As a secret service agency of the imperial court, the Imperial City Division has many powers that other yamen do not have.

What's more, there are many unknown news in the Imperial City Division.

Those messages allow him to avoid many troubles and obstacles when doing things.

Now that these benefits are gone, he is naturally a little uncomfortable with letting him do things like a serious official.

Liu Heng saw Kou Jichong rolling his eyes at himself, and said with a wry smile: "I know that the fourth brother is for my good ......"

Kou Ji didn't wait for Liu Heng to finish speaking, then pouted and said, "You are cheap!" Is it bad to be human? Do you have to be an eagle dog? ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "Everything is up to the fourth brother." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, and sent someone to find Liu Qi and Guo Yi.

The four of them deliberated and counted some of the prisoners captured by Liu Heng on their heads.

Liu Heng didn't open his mouth to ask them for anything.

They naturally knew what Liu Heng really wanted.

They calmly accepted Liu Heng's share of profits, which was equivalent to accepting Liu Heng's solicitation.

Liu Heng in the past was naturally not qualified to recruit them.

But today's Liu Heng has it.

After Xiao Xiaomu's head is sent to Bianjing City, Liu Heng's status will be infinitely higher.

A lot higher than the two of them.

Naturally qualified to solicit them.

Kou Ji, Liu Heng, Guo Yi, and Liu Qi had just finished discussing the distribution of credit, and Gao Chugong rushed over when he heard the news.

Kou Ji knew that Gao Zugong was a greedy person, and he also knew that if he didn't give credit to Gao Zugong, Gao Zugong would definitely be red-eyed, so he specially left Huang Pian to Gao Zugong when Liu Heng left.

Although Gao Zu Gong is a little dissatisfied, it is better to have credit than no credit.

In the end, after Kou Ji and Liu Heng teamed up to squeeze a large amount of money, they successfully pocketed Huang Pian's head.

After Kou Ji finished sharing the credit, he sent someone to cut Huang Pian and the others.

Kou Ji didn't like to keep such captives, and he had no intention of exchanging them for money with Liao.

cut off all of them, and sent their heads to Bianjing City to report their merits, which was just right.

With the heads of Xiao Xiaomu, Huang Pian and others sent to Bianjing by Kou Ji, the war of the Liao people from the northwest to the Great Song Dynasty was completely over.

The Great Song Dynasty was victorious, and the Liao people were defeated.

The Liao people not only sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but also gave part of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty by the way.

Some of them are still from Western Xia.

Just when Kou Ji was waiting for Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family to sweep the territory of Western Xia occupied by the Liao, the process of their sweep went wrong.

A group of 30,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses appeared near the turbidity wheel village, threatening that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were now occupying their territory.

He also asked for an interview with Kou Ji, and asked Kou Ji to return the territory of Western Xia that the Great Song had invaded in accordance with the alliance signed earlier.

The matter involves diplomacy, and naturally it is not up to Wang Kai and the military captain of the Zhejia family to be in charge.

After some discussion, the two of them sent some soldiers and Western Xia lobbyists to Linzhou City.

In the city of Linzhou.

Kou Ji sat in the city lord's mansion, and when he heard the news from his subordinates that the envoys of Western Xia were visiting, he was also slightly stunned.

"What are the Western Xia envoys doing here?"

Kou Ji pondered for a while, and sent someone to invite the Western Xia envoy into the city lord's mansion.

It didn't take long for a young man with fluttering sleeves to appear in the city lord's mansion.

When Kou Ji saw this person, his brows furrowed, "Another national thief!" ”

The dress on this person's body is no different from that of the Song people, and he has a bookish atmosphere, which is difficult for the Tangut people to imitate.

So it must be a Song person.

Kou Ji didn't hide it when he was scolding, so this person heard it clearly.

When this person heard Kou Ji's words, he was not annoyed, but asked with a smile, "Why did Kou Jingluo say this?" ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said: "Eating the grain of my Great Song Dynasty, learning the culture of my Great Song Dynasty, and finally helping the enemy deal with my Great Song Dynasty, isn't it a national thief?" ”

The man smiled and said: "No one is born a national thief, and there are many unknown reasons why they become national thieves. I haven't been in Western Xia for a long time, but I've seen a lot of what you call a national thief.

Among them, some offended the powerful in the Great Song Dynasty and had to flee to Western Xia to avoid trouble.

There were also those who were depressed in the Great Song Dynasty and defected to Western Xia to find a way out.

There are also some who were treated unfairly in the Great Song Dynasty and had to flee.

Everyone has his reasons.

And for good reason.

It was not that they abandoned the Great Song Dynasty, but that the Great Song Dynasty abandoned them first. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "If you feel that the powerful are oppressing the good, then you will do everything you can to bring him down." If you feel depressed, find a way to get ahead.

was treated unfairly in the Great Song Dynasty, so find a way to make the Great Song Dynasty fair.

When you encounter injustice in the Great Song Dynasty, the first thing you think of is not to turn the injustice into peace, but to vote for another country, aren't you a national thief?

If you think that the Great Song Dynasty is rotten, and that the Great Song Dynasty is unbearable, you can raise an army and overthrow the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if you lose, I will praise you as a true man.

But you have gone to another country and become a thief.

Don't blame me for scolding you. ”

When the young man heard Kou Ji's words, he stared at Kou Ji with a stunned expression.

He had never heard of Kou Ji's statement.

Especially the words that overturned the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji saw that the young man was stunned and speechless, so he snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." I advise you not to play any tricks in front of me, the last one to play tricks in front of me has been cut off by me, concocted, and sent to Bianjing. ”

The young man slowly came back to his senses and bowed to Kou Ji and said, "This time I came to see Kou Jingluo, for the territory of Western Xia outside Linzhou City. ”

Kou Ji slowly raised his eyebrows and stared at the young man coldly, "What did you say?" ”

The young man was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "I came to see Kou Jingluo this time, and I came here for the territory of Western Xia outside Linzhou City. ”

"Fart!"

Kou Ji scolded, "Those territories outside Linzhou City were obtained by my Great Song Dynasty from the Liao people. What does it have to do with your Western Xia? Hugh is talking nonsense here, or don't blame me for being unkind to you. ”

The young man stared at Kou Ji and said, "As we all know, the territory outside Linzhou City is the territory of my Western Xia. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has invaded the territory of my Western Xia, it should naturally be returned to my Western Xia.

Kou Jingluo should not forget that a few years ago, I signed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty in Bianjing City.

Kou Jinglu has now occupied the territory of my Western Xia and refuses to return it, and has violated the covenant.

If you insist on going your own way, aren't you afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will lose its trust in the world? ”

Kou Ji sneered: "The covenant is for allies, not jackals. You say that the territory outside the city of Linzhou is the territory of your Western Xia? What credentials do you have? Has it been since ancient times?

During the Han Dynasty, that was the territory of your Western Xia?

During the Tang Dynasty, it was also the territory of your Western Xia?

Or was that the territory of your Western Xia a few days ago?

If you, Western Xia, have always owned that land and never lost it, then how did the Liao people appear in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty?

Flying from the sky? ”

When the young man heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Turbidity Wheel Village and other places, from the beginning of the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, have been the territory of my Western Xia. ”

Koji waved his hand, "Don't tell me this. I only know that that territory was previously controlled by the Liao. We are the territory we snatched from the Liao people, and it has nothing to do with your Western Xia. ”

The young man said in a deep voice: "My Western Xia soldiers and horses didn't notice it for a while, so that the Liao people temporarily occupied Turbidity Wheel Village and other places......"

Kou Ji didn't wait for the young man to finish speaking, and sneered: "So the consequences of your mistakes in Western Xia have to be borne by my Great Song?" Because of the mistakes you made in Western Xia, my Great Song Dynasty killed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of people.

Now you Xixia don't know how to admit your mistakes, but you still want to ask my Great Song for territory?

Do you think that my Da Song is easy to bully?

Or do you think that my big Song can't help you Xixia? ”

The young man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I am weak in Western Xia, so naturally I don't dare to provoke the Great Song Dynasty." Turbidity Wheel Village and other places are indeed the territory of my Western Xia. As the suzerain, the Great Song Dynasty should not occupy the territory of Fan. ”

Kou Ji slowly sat upright and stared at the young man: "If Li Deming sent you here to tell me this nonsense, then you can get out." I can tell you clearly that the territory that my Great Song soldiers exchanged for their flesh and blood will not give up an inch of land.

Whoever dares to covet it must ask me if the sword soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are unfavorable. ”

The young man understood Kou Ji's attitude, bowed, and exited the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

After he left, Kou Ji sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that I needed time to clean up that stinky boy of Zhejixuan, I would have taken advantage of your words here, and I would have led my troops into Western Xia a long time ago." ”

Young people come in a hurry, and they go in a hurry.

The young man left Linzhou City, under the supervision of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, ran around for two days, and returned to the Western Xia army.

A big tent of the Chinese army that entered the Western Xia soldiers and horses.

Ye Li immediately got up, stared at him and asked, "Mr. Xia, how are you talking?" Is the Song Kingdom willing to return my territory of Great Xia? ”

The young man is that Mr. Xia.

After hearing Yeli Yuqi's words, he slowly shook his head and said: "I said a long time ago that the territory of Western Xia fell into the hands of Kou Ji, and I couldn't get a penny back, and you still don't believe it, so you have to let me run away." ”

Ye Li Yu begged angrily and said: "It's not because of you, if you hadn't come up with such a bad idea, how could my territory of Great Xia fall into the hands of the Song Kingdom?" ”

When Mr. Xia heard this, he said nonchaltly: "Blame me? You must know that when I first came up with this plan, the civil and military forces in the Western Xia court were all in favor of this matter.

You all think this plan is feasible, so you do it.

Even if there is a fault, it is not my fault alone.

It's everyone's fault. ”

Ye Li Yu begged angrily at Mr. Xia.

Mr. Xia continued: "If you want to complain, you should complain about the Liao people. The fault lies with the Liao people, not me. Who would have thought that Xiao Xiaomu was so incompetent. We helped him lay such a good situation, and he actually suffered defeat.

Most of the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were dispatched to the Yanyun battlefield.

There is only one army left here that can fight.

And we also helped design and kill Zhi Weizhong, so that the Zhi family army fell into semi-paralysis.

The entire northwest is left with a group of miscellaneous soldiers who do not have much combat effectiveness.

Xiao Xiaomu led 150,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Liao State, but he was defeated by a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

It was his incompetence that made our plans come to naught.

It's his, not mine. ”

When Ye Li Yuqi heard Mr. Xia's words, his face was gloomy and could drip blood.

It's not just Mr. Xia who feels that Xiao Xiaomu is incompetent.

He also felt that Xiao Xiaomu was incompetent.

150,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Liao State were first in the city of Linzhou, and were resisted by a group of miscellaneous troops for several days, and many people were killed by a group of miscellaneous troops.

Later, in Baode City, he suffered the same treatment.

The three miscellaneous armies, which were vulnerable in the eyes of Yeli Yuqi, stubbornly resisted the Liao army for nearly a month, and killed nearly 50,000 elite Liao soldiers.

Isn't Xiao Xiaomu incompetent?

It's just that the situation under Xixia Bu not only did not get any benefits, but also lost a large piece of fertile territory, and Yeli Yuqi was unwilling to do so.
