"Fourth Brother, in this battle we killed more than 40,000 enemy troops and captured more than 20,000 people. This is an unprecedented victory..."
Liu Heng said excitedly to Kou Ji.
Although Kou Ji had expected to kill many people, he was still stunned when he heard the number of people reported by Liu Heng.
He thought for a moment and asked: "How many of them were killed by you after the battle..."
"More than twenty-seven thousand..."
Liu Heng said something, and after he finished speaking, he added: "More than 17,000 of them were injured by artillery..."
"Fourth brother, that artillery is really powerful. When one cannon is fired, it will blow up the soldiers and horses of Huangtou Huihe, and they will fall on their backs. How did you come up with that thing?"
Liu Heng described to Kou Ji the scene of exploding artillery shells, while staring at Kou Ji and asking questions.
Kou Ji kicked the horse under his crotch, rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you? That was the idea of the craftsmen of Kou Mansion and has nothing to do with me."
Liu Heng snorted and continued to ask: "How did the craftsmen of the Kou Mansion come up with this?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again and said, "Have you ever seen a musket?"
Liu Heng nodded, patted his chest, and held a musket in his arms.
Kou Ji continued: "That thing is a larger musket."
"Then why don't you have those buckle teeth?"
"It's too big for teeth, so it can only be lit with fire."
"Does the artillery have a name?"
When Kou Ji heard this question, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Hongyi..."
"Red clothes? Red clothes cannon?"
Liu Heng asked.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "When you say red clothes, just say red clothes. Anyway, it was called Hongyi when it was first born, and later it was renamed Hongyi, so it's okay to call it Hongyi."
Liu Heng nodded thoughtfully and asked: "Then...where is that thing buried in the ground?"
Kou Ji muttered: "Invincible mine cannon."
Liu Heng's eyes lit up and he said: "This name is majestic."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
He thought the name was a bit middle-of-the-road.
However, the name of that thing was given by Akito, and he just copied it, so he didn't bother to bother with the name.
The artillery and mines that Kou Ji took out this time were all products of the Ming Dynasty.
The artillery is the red cannon that appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. Ming people like to call it the red cannon.
Landmines were also a product of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty called them invincible mine cannons.
Koji made some improvements based on the original red cannon and invincible mine cannon, and their power is much greater than that of the red cannon and invincible mine cannon.
The most improved one is the invincible mine cannon.
Kou Ji couldn't introduce the detailed craftsmanship to Liu Heng. He could only tell Liu Heng the names, usage and characteristics of the two items.
After Kou Ji explained it to Liu Heng in detail, he told Liu Heng: "Go back and compile what I said into a memorial and submit it to the officials."
Liu Heng was stunned and had something to say.
Kou Ji did not give him a chance to speak, "The artillery and mines have been taken out, so there is no way to hide it. It is better to tell the officials openly and honestly."
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I will compile what you said into a book and send it to the officials."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
thereafter.
The whole journey was silent.
When Kou Ji and his party arrived at the valley road.
Zhang Yuan and Gao Yi led the Japanese soldiers, horse thieves, and patrol horse guards to welcome them several miles away.
After Gao Yi saw Kou Ji, he shouted excitedly, "Kou officials, we have won. We have defeated 140,000 Huangtou Huihe people."
Behind Gao Yi, the soldiers who supported the Japanese army also looked at Kou Ji with excitement.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "This battle is an unprecedented feat for you to promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty. I have already written to the officials, and I believe that the imperial court's decree to reward you will be delivered soon.
Before the imperial edict is delivered, I will make the decision and Xu Er and others will have a feast."
"roar!!"
When the soldiers who praised the Japanese army heard this, they cheered.
Kou Ji smiled and ordered Liu Heng to take them down to kill sheep and cows and celebrate grandly.
After Liu Heng left with the Japanese soldiers.
Zhang Yuan led the patrolling horse guards and horse thieves to appear in front of Kou Ji.
Zhang Yuan solemnly said: "Thanks to the sharp weapons given by the Celestial Empire, Yuan Shan can lead his soldiers and join the Celestial Empire's troops to defeat the Huangtou Uighur troops."
Kou Jiduan sat on the horse and said seriously: "The leader of the Yuanshan tribe does not need to be polite. The Yuanshan tribe trusts us in the Song Dynasty in good faith and is willing to work hard for the Song Dynasty. Of course, the Song Dynasty will not hesitate to reward you."
In this battle, the Yuanshan tribe contributed a lot.
Without the help of Motoyamabe, we would not have been able to achieve such an astonishing result.
I make the decision on behalf of the officials. Before I return to the court, I will lend you the sharp weapons for your temporary use.
According to the rules on the grassland, 50% of what was captured in this battle will go to you and others."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said boldly: "Go down and distribute the seized items."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan bowed and agreed.
After hearing what Kou Ji said, the horse thieves behind Zhang Yuan were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
Not much gold, silver and jewels were seized in this battle, but a lot of cattle, sheep and horses were seized.
Kou Ji allocated 50% of the seized items to them in one breath, and they could get a lot of benefits.
Of course, the ones who benefited the most among them were the anonymous horse patrol soldiers under Zhang Yuan.
In this battle, although the horse thieves, civilians, and Japanese soldiers suffered some damage, the damage was almost negligible.
The ones who suffered the most damage were the patrolling horse guards who charged head-on.
They contributed the most, suffered the most casualties, and naturally wanted to take the most generous share of the spoils.
Kou Ji is not like other officials. After a great victory, he always likes to take the richest spoils first and then make a lot of high-sounding words.
Kou Ji is someone who has truly experienced the bottom, so he knows what people at the bottom like most.
If you say a hundred words, it's not as useful as handing them a copper coin.
Kou Ji entered the temporary camp at the entrance of the valley, and the list of loot captured in this battle was already delivered to him.
This battle.
More than 30,000 horses were seized.
Among them, there are more than 5,000 top-grade horses.
There are more than 20,000 medium-sized horses.
The rest are all inferior horses.
More than 10,000 cattle were seized.
Two hundred and thirty thousand sheep were seized.
The number of sheep far exceeded the number of cattle, which Kou Ji expected.
One hundred and thirty-five thousand dans of grain.
The gold and silver jewelry were discounted to 350,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand prisoners were taken.
It can be said that a lot of money was captured in this battle.
Although there was less food, gold, silver and jewelry, the number of cattle, sheep and horses was still huge.
Injured horses and slaughtered cattle and sheep were not included.
After the digital newspaper returned to the Song Dynasty, it can be said that all the civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty would be unable to sit still.
In the past, Emperor Taizong led hundreds of thousands of troops to the north to conquer Liao.
Only 50,000 war horses were captured.
If those dead or injured horses were included, it would probably exceed what Emperor Taizong captured during his Northern Expedition.
You know, Emperor Taizong's achievements were achieved by hundreds of thousands of troops.
This battle was achieved by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by more than 10,000 civilians.
It's hard to imagine how difficult it is in the middle.
Kou Ji took the list and said with a look of astonishment: "Didn't you say there were more than 20,000 prisoners? Why are there 20,000 left?"
Zhang Yuan and Liu Heng looked at each other with a wry smile in their eyes.
"Someone killed the prisoner?"
Seeing the strange expressions on the two of them, Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't kill him..."
Kou Ji asked, "How did you die?"
Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face: "Some people want to see the power of the thing buried in the ground, but the servants in your house are not willing to let them see it. They took people from the prisoner camp to the place where we buried the thing to try it.
Then people died."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and he said: "It's a bit human..."
Kou Ji said something to Kou, but he didn't criticize too much.
“What is the status of the seizures and distribution?”
When Liu Heng heard this, he hurriedly said: "I want 30,000 sheep, 5,000 cattle, 20,000 horses, and all the gold, silver and jewelry. If the court wants to reward the Japanese soldiers and civilian husbands later, they will not give them.
The money comes over. So this money can just be used to reward the Japanese soldiers and civilians.
The horses were captured as a tribute to the imperial court during this battle."
Kou Ji nodded and looked at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan immediately reported: "The seizure we have obtained has been divided into two parts. The horse thieves will get 20%, the brothers will get 30%, and the rest is all yours."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Each of you will allocate part of the seizures and make up 10% of the total seizures. I will convert it into money, deposit it in Yizi Jiaozi Shop, and distribute it to the dead patrol horse guards.
Widow."
Zhang Yuan and Liu Heng looked at each other and nodded in unison.
In this battle, the patrolling horse guards contributed the most. It can be said that everyone took advantage of the patrolling horse guards.
No one would have any objection to generous pensions for the patrol officers and soldiers.
Kou Ji added: "The seizures presented to the imperial court and the amount of money spent in this battle will be reported to the imperial court."
Liu Heng looked strange when he heard this.
When Kou Ji saw this, he rolled his eyes and said calmly: "The things I took out are free of charge?"
Liu Heng said dumbfounded: "But isn't this a bit..."
Kou Ji said calmly: "Although our Kou government is rich, we cannot blindly subsidize the imperial court. We must clearly distinguish between public and private. We cannot allow others to regard the private treasury of our government as the imperial court's."
Treasury.”
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "But if this matter reaches the court, the civil and military ministers in the court will criticize you."
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "What is there to criticize? I contribute money, effort and people, shouldn't the imperial court give me something in return? I am helping the imperial court, not helping myself conquer the world."
When Liu Heng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said no more.
Kou Ji's words are reasonable and reasonable, but the group of civil and military ministers in the court never talk to others about emotions and reasons.
After Kou Ji finished handling the capture, he added: "Go and tell the civilians that from tomorrow on, they will not have to worry about escorting the carriage. Let each of them go to the prisoner camp and select two prisoners to help them drive the carriage.
Driving cattle, sheep and horses.”
"Go down... keep an eye on the camp tonight and don't let your men get carried away and cause any trouble."
"clear……"
"Here..."
Liu Heng and Zhang Yuan exited the tent.
Not long after, men from the patrol horse guards appeared in Kou Ji's tent.
They found Kou Ji and reported how many cattle, sheep and horses they had received. Kou Ji would convert the money into the market price and give them a deal.
They did not move the cattle, sheep and horses because they did not need to move.
Just throw it to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan will drive the cattle, sheep and horses into the group of cattle, sheep and horses assigned to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji's tent was bustling for half the night.
The camp was bustling all night long.
When Kou Ji is away, they can celebrate, but they dare not celebrate in a big way.
When Kou Ji arrives and delivers the message, they can celebrate grandly.
It was a lively night.
The next day.
After getting up, there was a group of people who were in a trance.
After Kou Ji learned from the scouts that Huangtou Huihe Khan led the Huangtou Huihe troops and horses back to the Huangtou Huihe royal court, he once again led the team on the journey.
The civilian husbands each received two yellow-headed Uighur prisoners.
They ordered the prisoners to lead the horses and drive the carriage, while they lay down on the carriage to rest like an uncle.
The soldiers of the Japanese army and the patrolling horse guards transformed into light cavalry and wandered around the long team escorting the baggage.
The patrolling horse guards and horse thieves transformed into horse herders, sheep herders, and cattle herders, waving their whips and driving the huge herds of sheep and horses forward.
After a great battle, Kou Ji's team not only did not shrink, but actually grew larger.
Since they defeated 140,000 Huangtou Huihe troops in one battle, they encountered few attacks on the way back.
Except that the team of horse thieves led by Zhang Yuan became larger, there were no other changes.
After Kou Ji led his soldiers and horses to leave Deshengchuan, which was named after him.
Li Zhaoliang led his army to Deshengchuan in a hurry.
The news that Kou Ji used thousands of elite troops to defeat Huangtou Huihe's 140,000 elite troops in Deshengchuan was known to him through the mouth of the messenger.
But he still couldn't believe it.
It wasn't until he arrived at the De Sheng River and saw the blood stains all over the De Sheng River that he believed in the great victory in the De Sheng River.
Looking at the piles of cattle, sheep and horse bones at the eastern entrance of Desheng Sichuan, Li Zhaoliang muttered in confusion, "Kou Ji... you don't leave a way for others to survive... you are a versatile person in both civil and military affairs... what else can you say?"
I don’t know how to fight... This time you take action, it will be a big battle that no one else can do in their lifetime..."
"Thousands of elite soldiers defeated 140,000 elite soldiers. Even if Brother Cao came, he would not be able to achieve such a ferocious victory."
"..."
Just as Li Zhaoliang was muttering, the soldiers beside him came to him and whispered: "General... we have been marching in a hurry for the past few days. Our brothers are exhausted. Do you want to take a good rest tonight?"
When Li Zhaoliang heard this, he was furious, "Kou Ji and his party stopped and walked, and easily defeated 140,000 elite soldiers from Huihe. What about us? We said we were marching day and night, and we haven't caught up with them yet.
