The reason why the Liao people appeared in the northwest of the Song Dynasty was indeed promoted by the Xixia people.

This matter has now become almost a well-known thing in the northwest.

But as long as Xixia refused to admit it, the Song Dynasty could not provide any strong evidence to prove that Xixia did it.

After all, on the surface, Xixia is also a victim.

Xixia lost a lot of territory as a result.

But if Xixia admitted it, it would be different.

The Song Dynasty had enough excuses to teach Xixia a lesson.

Even if it is impossible to teach Xixia a lesson due to the war in Yanyun Land, they will send people to Xixia to hold them accountable and force Xixia to cut off their flesh to atone for their sins.

Therefore, middle-aged people dare not recognize it at all.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to admit it, so there were no omissions in Kou Ji's words, and he had no way to refute.

Seeing that the middle-aged man stopped talking, Kou Ji snorted coldly and said to the middle-aged man: "For the sake of our allies, I will let you go this time. Go back quickly and tell Dejing Town and Qiliping Nei

The soldiers and horses of Xixia must withdraw from the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and roared in humiliation: "Kou Ji, I, Daxia, have bowed to the Song Dynasty and sent envoys to Bianjing City to admit their mistakes. Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has not insulted me, Daxia, and now you are bullying me like this.

Aren't we, Daxia, afraid that the ruler of Daxia will send someone to Bianjing City to file a complaint against you?"

Hearing this, Kou Ji's eyes turned cold, "You bastard, what qualifications do you have to call me by my first name? You don't know the shame of robbing my soldiers of the Song Dynasty for their lives, and you still want to go to Bianjing City to accuse me. Do you really think I am

Don’t you have a temper?”

"about?!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Drag them down, knock out one of my teeth, and throw them back to Dejing Town. At the same time, tell my words to the Xixia people in Dejing Town and Qiliping. I will give them three hours to get out of my way. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty used

On the territory where lives are exchanged.

In three hours, I will allocate land to my Song soldiers.

If there are still Xixia people lingering in my Song Dynasty territory, don't blame me for killing them."

As soon as Kou Ji finished speaking, before the guards around him could take action, the officers and soldiers of the Hengshan Army following him shouted in unison.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Kill without mercy!"

"..."

The middle-aged man who came from Dejing Town was almost blinded by the shouts of the soldiers of the Hengshan Army and collapsed on the ground.

By now, anyone with a discerning eye would know what Kou Ji is going to do.

Kou Ji said he was here to take back what they had gained, but in reality he was here to seize the territory of Xixia in the next life.

The officers and soldiers of the Hengshan Army obviously knew that Kou Ji wanted to seize territory from Xixia, but they were not ambiguous at all and decisively used their shouts to support Kou Ji behind his back.

Obviously, they don't care how the land was obtained.

They just want to keep the land in their own hands.

If a war were to be fought for land, they seemed not afraid at all, not afraid at all, and even a little eager to try.

The officers and soldiers of the Hengshan Army have already put on a posture that even if there is a big battle, Dejing Town and Qiliping will be taken away.

The middle-aged man knew in his heart that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

He didn't wait for the middle-aged man to react from the shock.

The guards beside Kou Ji jumped in front of him. One restrained the middle-aged man's arm, and the other opened his arm and slapped the middle-aged man's face fiercely.

The sound of the slaps was loud and clear, and spread far and wide.

The guard next to Kou Ji was very cruel, so with a slap, the middle-aged man's face turned red, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

The guard carried out Kou Ji's order conscientiously. If he said it would knock out his teeth, he would knock out his teeth. There was no ambiguity at all.

The middle-aged man was slapped so hard that he was a little stunned.

My mind felt dizzy, as if there were Venus orbiting above my head.

It wasn't until the third slap fell on his face that he let out a miserable cry.

However, no one present felt pity for him.

There were even people who felt that Kou Ji's bodyguards were not strong enough and wanted to help.

No one feels sorry for him.

Because compared to the humiliation that Xixia brought to the Song Dynasty's frontier soldiers in previous years, the humiliation that Kou Ji inflicted on the middle-aged people was nothing at all.

Kou Ji's bodyguard threw away his arms and slapped him more than a dozen times, knocking out only two of the middle-aged man's teeth.

Liu Heng leaned down and gave an order to a confidant beside him.

The confidant stepped forward and replaced Kou Ji's bodyguard.

When it comes to torturing people and executing people, he is the professional.

After Liu Heng's cronies took over the job of Kou Ji's bodyguard, they did not rush to do anything reckless. Instead, they took a piece of fleshy wood and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's mouth.

Then he threw his arms away and gave me a slap in the face.

After a long time, Liu Heng's cronies took out the wooden block from the middle-aged man's mouth. A set of teeth of the middle-aged man, mixed with blood, were all embedded in the wooden block.

After Kou Ji's bodyguard had all of his teeth knocked out, he decisively carried the middle-aged man on his horse, led a group of people, and rushed to Dejing Town.

After the guards left, Kou Ji ordered the soldiers of the Hengshan Army to camp on the spot and rest there. After replenishing their energy, they would start horse racing and staking the land tomorrow.

However.

The soldiers of the Hengshan Army knew that land was about to be allocated to them, so how could they possibly rest?

Everyone was so excited that they could not wait to get on their horses and rush to Dejing Town and Qiliping.

Dejing Town and Qiliping are adjacent to the water.

In this era when water conservancy was not developed, it was very laborious to irrigate farmland. During severe droughts, villages, towns and villages often fought fiercely to compete for water to irrigate the fields.

Therefore, as long as the fields adjacent to water are not saline-alkali land, they are considered top-quality fields.

The land in Dejing Town and Qiliping is undoubtedly this kind of top-grade farmland.

Often, the harvest per year from an acre of top-grade fields is nearly twice as much as that from an acre of inferior fields.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Hengshan Army who are currently dividing the land have no military exploits, they are not allocated much land.

But all they were allocated were the best fields.

Every acre of land can support a family, so they are naturally so excited that they can't help themselves.

The officers and soldiers of the Hengshan Army were so excited that they could not rest and were running around in circles.

The guard on the city wall near Shizhou was very frightened.

The old captain, who was nearly fifty years old, saw the soldiers of the Song Dynasty emerging outside the Great Wall.

The old lieutenant rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "Are those sticks going out to harm the Xixia people again?"

No one answered the old captain's question.

Although the Hengshan Army has been promoted to the Forbidden Army, their corresponding armaments have not yet been delivered, so they wear all kinds of armor and military uniforms.

The Song Dynasty had unified military uniforms, but it was a regional unification.

During this period, the colors have changed several times, so there are several styles and colors of military uniforms.

Many officers and soldiers in the Hengshan Army came from different Xiang armies, so their military uniforms are naturally different.

In addition, some Xiang army generals drank blood from their soldiers and even deducted money from military uniforms and armaments, so there are still some soldiers wearing the earliest style of military uniforms, and some even have patches.

So when they were wandering in twos and threes on the edge of the Great Wall outside Shizhou, the old captain on the Great Wall naturally thought of a troop called the scourge of the northwest.

That's a bandit army.

When the Song Dynasty conquered Xixia, they emerged from the prisoners and refugees who migrated here.

When the Song Dynasty conquered Xixia, they often harmed the Xixia people.

The Xixia people were tortured to death, but the Song Dynasty court felt that they had done a good job and felt that they had made a contribution to the court in containing some of the Xixia troops, so they were recruited.

The person responsible for recruiting them was Li Di, the former Tongzhongshu disciple Pingzhangshi.

When Li Di was in the northwest, he was able to control them. They obeyed the court's orders and went out to Xixia to cause trouble, causing trouble for Xixia and making many military exploits.

When Li Di left, he organized them into a regiment and asked them to defend the territory and borders.

Their essential work is impeccable.
