Chapter 0647 Asking for territory? You are eating like a fart!
After listening to Liu Heng's words, Kou Ji shook his head first, and then nodded.
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji in confusion.
Kou Ji said earnestly: "After this northwest war, it will be difficult for you not to be dazzling. In the battle of Chanyuan in the past, a soldier in front of the battle used a crossbow to kill the Liao general Xiao Taolin, and he was killed by the people all over the world.
It has been recited to this day.
The Xiao Xiaomu you killed was more famous than Xiao Taolin. It is impossible for him to remain unknown.
So when you return to Beijing, you are destined to shine brightly.
After you return to the capital, you will resign from the official position as an official in the Imperial City and join the ranks of military officials. From then on, you will hang out among the military officials in the palace.
You are a servant of the official family. When you appear in court, it is inevitable that some people will look down on you or even dislike you.
So you have to more or less have your own team, your own connections, and your own confidants."
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 Kai's ancestor was the founding general of the country. Although the Wang family has declined, he is still a general. Wang Kai is dedicated to restoring the glory of his great-grandfather when he was alive, so naturally he will not attach himself to other people.
On the contrary, Liu Qi and Guo Yi came from humble backgrounds. They were targeted in their early years and wasted a lot of time.
Nowadays, merit-based promotion is urgently needed and it is very easy to recruit.
Even though they are a bit old, their skills are not weak.
The Suide Army, the Longzhou garrison, and the two miscellaneous armies were all made to look presentable by the two of them.
The two of them had spent most of their lives cautiously and had already figured out the ways of officialdom.
Being attached to your sect will not cause you any trouble, it will only help you increase your reputation.
So these two are very worthy of your recruitment."
Liu Heng was in a daze after listening to Kou Ji's words, "After I return to Beijing, do I have to resign from the Imperial City Department?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "I have been in the Imperial City Division for a long time, and I feel a little reluctant to leave."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and ignored Liu Heng.
Kou Ji can probably guess why Liu Heng was reluctant to leave the Imperial City Division.
Liu Heng was not reluctant to part with the official position of the Imperial City Division, he was reluctant to part with some of the personnel of the Imperial City Division that his father and son had cultivated for two generations, and he was also reluctant to part with the power of the Imperial City Division.
As the official secret service agency of the imperial court, the Imperial City Division has many powers that other yamen do not have.
More importantly, the Imperial City Division controls a lot of unknown information.
That information allows him to avoid a lot of troubles and obstacles when doing things.
Now that these benefits are gone and he is asked to act like a serious official, he is naturally uncomfortable.
Liu Heng saw Kou Jicheng rolling his eyes at him and said with a wry smile: "I know the fourth brother is doing it for my own good..."
Kou Ji didn't wait for Liu Heng to finish his words, and curled his lips and said: "You are so mean! Isn't it bad to be a human being? Do you have to be a hawk for others?"
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Just listen to Fourth Brother in everything."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and sent for Liu Qi and Guo Yi.
The four people discussed it and put some of the prisoners captured by Liu Heng on their heads.
Liu Heng didn't ask them for anything.
They naturally knew what Liu Heng really wanted.
They calmly accepted Liu Heng's profit share, which was equivalent to accepting Liu Heng's solicitation.
The former Liu Heng was naturally not qualified to recruit them.
But now Liu Heng does.
After Xiao Xiaomu's head is delivered to Bianjing City, Liu Heng's status will rise infinitely.
Much higher than the two of them.
Naturally, we are qualified to recruit them.
Kou Ji, Liu Heng, Guo Yi, and Liu Qi had just finished discussing the distribution of credits when Gao Chugong heard the news and rushed over.
Kou Ji knew that Gao Chugong was a greedy person, and he also knew that Gao Chugong would definitely be jealous if he gave Gao Chugong no credit for his work, so he specially pretended that Liu Heng had left Huang Pian to Gao Chugong.
Although Gao Chugong was a little dissatisfied, it was better to have credit than to have no credit.
In the end, Kou Ji and Liu Heng jointly squeezed out a large amount of money, and successfully pocketed Huang Pian's head.
After Kou Ji divided the credit, he sent people to kill Huang Pian and others.
Kou Ji did not like to keep such prisoners, and had no intention of exchanging them for money with the Liao Kingdom.
It was just right to chop them all and send their heads to Bianjing City to report their merits.
With the heads of Xiao Xiaomu, Huang Pian and others being sent to Bianjing City by Kou Ji, the war in which the Liao people invaded the Song Dynasty from the northwest was finally concluded.
The 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 Song Dynasty, but also gave part of the territory to the Song Dynasty.
Some of them are from Xixia.
Just when Kou Ji was waiting for Wang Kai and Zhejia Military Academy Captain to finish sweeping the territory occupied by the Liao people in Xixia, something went wrong in their sweep.
A group of 30,000 Xixia soldiers and horses appeared near Zhuolun Village, threatening that the Song soldiers and horses were now invading their territory.
He also requested an interview with Kou Ji and asked Kou Ji to return the territory of Xixia invaded by the Song Dynasty in accordance with the previously signed covenant.
The matter involves diplomacy, so naturally Wang Kai and Lieutenant Zhejia Military Academy cannot make the decision.
After some discussion, the two of them sent some soldiers and Xixia lobbyists to Linzhou City.
Inside Linzhou City.
Kou Ji was sitting in the city lord's palace and was slightly startled when he heard his subordinates reporting that Xixia envoys were visiting.
"What are the Xixia envoys doing here?"
Kou Ji pondered for a while, then sent someone to invite the Xixia envoy to the city lord's palace.
Not long after, a young man with fluttering sleeves appeared in the city lord's palace.
When Kou Ji saw this person, his brows furrowed, "Another national traitor!"
The dress of this person is no different from that of the Song Dynasty people, and his bookish atmosphere is difficult for the Xixia people to imitate.
So he must be a Song Dynasty person.
Kou Ji didn't cover up when he cursed, so the person heard it clearly.
This person heard Kou Ji's words and was not angry. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Why did Kou Jinglue say this?"
Kou Jileng snorted and said: "Eating the food of our Song Dynasty, learning the culture of our Song Dynasty, but in the end helping the enemy to deal with our Song Dynasty, isn't it a national thief?"
The man smiled and said: "No one is born a national thief. There are many unknown reasons why he becomes a national thief. I have not been in Xixia for a long time, but I have seen a lot of what you call a national thief.
Some of them offended the powerful in the Song Dynasty and had to flee to Xixia to avoid trouble.
There were also those who were frustrated in the Song Dynasty and went to Xixia to find a way out.
Others were treated unfairly in the Song Dynasty and had to flee.
Everyone has his reasons.
The reason is quite good.
It’s not that they abandoned the Song Dynasty, but that the Song Dynasty abandoned them first.”
Kou Ji sneered and said: "If you feel that the powerful are oppressing the good, then you will do everything you can to remove them. If you feel that you are depressed and frustrated, then you will find a way to stand out."
If you were treated unfairly in the Song Dynasty, you should find a way to make the Song Dynasty fair.
When you encountered injustice in the Song Dynasty, the first thing you thought of was not to turn the injustice into peace, but to defect to another country. Aren't you a traitor to the country?
If you feel that the Song Dynasty is corrupt and unbearable, you can raise troops to cause rebellion and overthrow the Song Dynasty court.
Even if you lose, I will praise you as a true man.
But you defected to another country and became national traitors.
Just don’t blame me for scolding you.”
When the young man heard what Kou Ji said, he stared at Kou Ji in astonishment.
He had never heard anyone say this statement from Kou Ji.
Especially the words that overturned the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that the young man was stunned and speechless, Kou Ji snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go. I advise you not to talk nonsense in front of me. The last person who did talk nonsense in front of me has already been chopped off by me."
He cut his head, cooked it up, and sent it to Bianjing City."
The young man slowly came back to his senses, bowed his hands to Kou Ji and said, "I came to see Kou Jinglue this time because of the Xixia territory outside Linzhou City."
Kou Ji slowly raised his eyebrows and stared at the young man coldly, "What did you say?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I came to see Kou Jinglue this time because of the Xixia territory outside Linzhou City."
"fart!"
Kou Ji cursed loudly, "The territory outside Linzhou City was obtained by the Song Dynasty from the Liao people. What does it have to do with you Xixia? Stop talking nonsense here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
The young man stared at Kou Ji and said in a calm voice: "As we all know, the territory outside Linzhou City is our Xixia territory. Now that the Song Dynasty has invaded our Xixia territory, it should naturally be returned to my Xixia territory.
Kou Jinglue, please don't forget that a few years ago, I, Xixia, signed an alliance with the Song Dynasty in Bianjing.
Kou Jinglue has now occupied my territory of Xixia and refuses to return it, which has violated the covenant.
If you insist on going your own way, aren't you afraid that the Song Dynasty will break its trust and be ruined by the world?"
Kou Ji sneered and said: "The covenant is for allies, not wolves. You said that the territory outside Linzhou City is your Xixia territory? What proof do you have? Has it been the case since ancient times?
During the Han Dynasty, that was your territory of Xixia?
During the Tang Dynasty, was it also your territory of Xixia?
In other words, a few days ago, that was your Xixia territory?
If you, Xixia, have always owned that land and have never lost it, then how did the Liao people appear in our Song Dynasty?
Did it fly from the sky?"
Hearing this, the young man said in a deep voice: "Zhuolun Village and other places have been my territory of Xixia since the founding of the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji waved his hand, "Don't tell me this. I only know that that territory was previously controlled by the Liao people. We snatched the territory from the Liao people and have nothing to do with you Xixia."
The young man said solemnly: "Our Xixia soldiers and horses were temporarily inattentive, which allowed the Liao people to temporarily occupy Zhuolun Village and other places..."
Kou Ji didn't wait for the young man to finish speaking, and sneered: "So the mistakes you made in Xixia will have to be borne by me, the Song Dynasty? Because of the mistakes you made in Xixia, our Song Dynasty lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
common people.
Now you, Xixia, don't know how to admit your mistake, but you still want to ask for territory from me, the Song Dynasty?
Do you, Xixia, think I, the Song Dynasty, is easy to bully?
Or do you think I, Song Nai, can't do anything to you Xixia?"
The young man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "We in Xixia are weak, so naturally we dare not provoke the Song Dynasty. Zhuolun Village and other places are indeed our territory in Xixia. As the suzerain state, the Song Dynasty should not occupy the territory of the Fan vassal."
Kou Ji slowly sat up straight, stared at the young man and said: "If Li Deming sent you here to tell me these nonsense, then you can get out. I can tell you clearly that the territory that our Song Dynasty soldiers bought with their flesh and blood
, not giving up an inch of ground.
Anyone who dares to covet it should ask me about the strength of the Song Dynasty's weapons and military."
The young man found out Kou Ji's attitude, bowed and exited the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
After he left, Kou Ji sneered: "If I didn't need time to deal with that brat Zhe Jixuan, I would be here to show off my rhetoric with you, and I would have led my troops into Xixia long ago."
Young people come in a hurry and go in a hurry.
The young man left Linzhou City, and under the supervision of the Song Dynasty soldiers, he traveled for two days and returned to the Xixia army.
As soon as they entered the Chinese army's tent of Xixia soldiers and horses.
Ye Li immediately stood up when he met Qi, stared at him and asked: "Mr.
The young man is that Mr. Xia.
After hearing Ye Li Yuqi's words, he slowly shook his head and said: "I have said before that the territory of Xixia fell into the hands of Kou Ji, and I can't get back even a cent. You still don't believe it, and you still insist on letting me
Take a trip."
Ye Li Yuqi said angrily: "It wasn't because of you. If you hadn't come up with such a bad idea, how could the territory of Daxia fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Mr.
You all thought this plan was feasible, so you followed it.
Even if there is a mistake, it is not my fault alone.
It’s everyone’s fault.”
Yeli Yuqi glared at Mr. Xia angrily.
Mr. Xia continued: "If you want to complain, you should blame 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 out such a good situation, but he actually suffered a defeat.
Most of the elite soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were dispatched to the Yanyun battlefield.
There is only one Zhejia army left here that can fight.
And we also helped design and kill Zhe Weizhong, causing the Zhe family army to be semi-paralyzed.
There is only a group of miscellaneous soldiers with little combat effectiveness left in the entire northwest.
Xiao Xiaomu led 150,000 elite troops of the Liao Kingdom, but was defeated by a group of miscellaneous soldiers.
It was his incompetence that made our plan come to nothing.
The fault is his, not mine."
When Yeli Yuqi heard what Mr. Xia said, his face was so gloomy that he could bleed.
Mr. Xia is not the only one who thinks Xiao Xiaomu is incompetent.
He also felt that Xiao Xiaomu was incompetent.
The 150,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom were first held back for several days by a group of miscellaneous troops in Linzhou City, and many of them were killed by a group of miscellaneous troops.
Later, he suffered the same treatment in Baode City.
Three miscellaneous armies, which were vulnerable to attack in the eyes of Li Yuqi, forcibly held off the Liao army for nearly more than a month, killing nearly 50,000 elite Liao soldiers.
Isn’t Xiao Xiaomu incompetent?
It's just that the situation set by Xixia not only failed to gain any benefits, but also lost a large area of fertile territory. Ye Li Yuqi was unwilling to accept it.
