When did Kou Ji still have the heart to joke?

It doesn’t matter the occasion.

Gao Chugong and others dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Kou Ji coughed slightly to relieve his embarrassment, and then said with a serious face: "I thought about it carefully for a long time, and I think it would be a bit passive if we just sit back and wait for death.

So I want to attack in advance and nip the danger in the bud.

How feasible do you think it is?"

Gao Chugong and others were stunned for a moment when they heard Kou Ji's words.

Zhong Shiheng pondered and said: "How does Privy Kou plan to attack?"

Kou Ji solemnly said: "Use the Great Wall as a stronghold and send cavalry out to destroy and drive away the thugs. Put pressure on them and make them feel that we are not easy to mess with and avoid us.

Then we will send cavalry to attack hundreds of miles away to separate the criminals who have invaded hundreds of miles outside our territory of the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the pressure we have to endure will be greatly reduced.

The murderers were just some common people and members of various small tribes.

The number looks strong, but the strength itself is not strong.

Unless the thugs elect a leader and work together to deal with us.

Otherwise, they would not be able to keep the troops and horses we sent out.

We can advance and attack, retreat and defend. The initiative is in our hands.

In this way, we will be much more confident in resisting the large-scale southern invasion of the thugs."

Zhong Shiheng and others heard Kou Ji's words and fell into deep thought.

They felt that the strategies and tactics proposed by Koji were also a way to weaken the enemy.

They were considering the feasibility of the strategies and tactics proposed by Kou Ji, and how much benefit the Song Dynasty would gain after implementing the strategies and tactics proposed by Kou Ji.

After several people thought about it for a long time.

Li Zhaoliang suddenly said, "The blind killing has driven them into a panic. Will they unite to deal with us?"

Zhong Shiheng and others nodded and looked at Kou Ji.

They thought the same thing as Li Zhaoliang and had the same concerns.

Kou Ji said bluntly: "I have thought about this issue carefully. It is really inappropriate to kill them blindly. It can easily push them to a dead end. So I want to recruit a group and fight a group."

Zhong Shiheng and others were speechless, staring at Kou Jijing and waiting for the next sentence.

Kou Ji continued: "After we send people out, we can properly recruit and surrender some of their obedient people. As long as they can occupy a city and surrender to me, the Song Dynasty, in the name of dedicating the city.

Then we can consider providing them with some shelter and some food.

If they are respectful enough and have done meritorious service to the Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to give them official positions.

Anyone who is disobedient or tries to negotiate terms with us will be killed by us."

Zhong Shiheng and others raised their eyebrows.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "Privy Councilor Kou wants to give them an official position?"

Kou Ji asked, "Isn't it possible? If they surrender to our Song Dynasty, they will be our captives. If they can make meritorious service to our Song Dynasty, they can escape from prisoner status and become people of the Song Dynasty."

After becoming a Song Dynasty person, if you make great achievements, you will naturally be promoted to an official position.

Our Song Dynasty now treats prisoners with this attitude and implements the same government decrees.

Isn’t it against the rules?”

Zhong Shiheng and others looked at each other, muttered, and said nothing.

Once Kou Ji's proposal is successfully implemented, it will naturally be of great benefit to their war against the murderers.

They were only resistant to outsiders serving as officials in the Song Dynasty.

The creed they adhere to is "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

Unless outsiders completely integrate into the Song Dynasty, just like Yici Leye people in Bianjing City, and completely become a part of the Song Dynasty, it will be difficult to gain their recognition.

Kou Ji saw their thoughts and said in a deep voice: "If you have other ways to weaken the murderer or annihilate the murderer, I can take back what I just said."

Zhong Shiheng and others heard this and remained silent.

There are a huge number of criminals, and if it was really easy to deal with them, they wouldn't gather here.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Kou Ji knew that they had no way to solve the problem, so he immediately ordered: "Since there is no objection, just follow my instructions.

Di Qing led his army to guard Yuguan.

Zhong Shiheng led his army to Gubeikou.

Gao Chugong and Li Zhaoliang jointly guarded the Great Wall from Gubeikou to Linzhou.

Wang Kai worked harder and went to the Great Wall from Linzhou to Hexikou."

Zhong Shiheng and others stood up, saluted Kou Ji and said yes.

According to Kou Ji's allocation, the distance between the Great Wall guarded by Di Qing and Zhong Shiheng was the shortest.

The Great Wall where Wang Kai sits is the longest.

But Di Qing and Zhong Shiheng are facing the greatest pressure.

On the contrary, Wang Kai is the one with the least pressure.

The murderers have already started wreaking havoc outside the Great Wall in Yuguan and Gubeikou. However, there is no trace of the murderers outside the Great Wall from Yinzhou to Hexikou.

It can be seen that Yuguan and Gubeikou are the passes that the criminals will focus on later.

After Kou Ji finished assigning the task, he ordered Di Qing and others to rush to the place where he was in charge.

When Di Qing left, he took away three local soldiers in Gubeikou.

When Gao Chugong left, he took away a group of forbidden troops and a group of local soldiers from Gubeikou.

The military strength at Gubeikou was sharply reduced.

The soldiers could finally all move to Gubeikou.

Zhong Shiheng led the soldiers while repairing the Great Wall and cleaning up the murderers who emerged from outside Gubeikou.

After Di Qing and others returned to their respective places, they couldn't wait to start taking action.

For a time, outside the Great Wall were all the Song Dynasty’s iron cavalry.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were slaughtered outside the pass.

The criminals who emerged outside the pass were suppressed and pushed back.

The murderers gave up spying on Da Song in a short time and set their sights elsewhere.

Gubeikou.

On the city wall.

After Kou Ji inspected the outside of the city, he turned to Zhong Shiheng and said, "What you are doing is very dangerous."

Zhong Shiheng stood next to Kou Ji, looking at the Song Dynasty cavalry galloping outside Guancheng without saying anything.

Kou Ji frowned, "In half a month, you defeated hundreds of thugs and eliminated hundreds of thousands of thugs. But you didn't see a single prisoner.

Not only did I not see any prisoners, someone actually gave me a view of the capital."

Zhong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "We also ordered our soldiers and horses to recruit the murderers, but the murderers refused to surrender, so according to your order, we can only annihilate them all.

As for Zhujingguan, it was just to deter those murderers.

As far as I know, after the Jingguan was cast, the effect was very intuitive. There were more than 20 groups of murderers who were so frightened by the Jingguan that they did not dare to show their faces."

Kou Ji stared and asked Zhong Shiheng, "Do you think I am an idiot? Those murderers only evolved from common people, not from dead soldiers.

Of the hundreds of thousands of people, not a single one was willing to surrender.

The consciousness of the people of the Liao Kingdom has actually reached this level."

Just as Zhong Shiheng was about to open his mouth to defend, he heard Kou Ji yelling: "If the people of Liao really had the consciousness to sacrifice their lives for the country, Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao would not have defeated Youzhou City.

It's obvious that you refused to take prisoners, so you deliberately killed all the criminals you encountered.

Do you know that what you are doing is telling the murderers that I, the Song Dynasty, will not give them any way to survive, and as long as they oppose me, the Song Dynasty, they will be driven out and killed.

You also told them that the 10,000 to 20,000 thugs should not hang around the Great Wall. If they want to invade our Song Dynasty, they should gather a million people and come again.

You are forcing them to go to a dead end, forcing them to fight us to the death.

Their lives were cut short, and if they were defeated, they wouldn't lose much.

We are different. Our family has a great cause. Once we fall, thousands of people behind us will be implicated."

The more Kou Ji talked, the angrier he became. At the end of the sentence, he yelled, "And that idiot Gao Chugong actually cast the Jingguan for me?! Who allowed him to cast the Jingguan?"

Who gave him the courage to let him build the Beijing Palace?
