It seems that Cao takes advantage of people who have too much power and always like to plan something for their children and grandchildren when they are in power.

Now that Cao Cao has taken control of Jiaozhi, seeing that Kou Ji has no plans for Jiaozhi, he wonders if he can use Jiaozhi as a private land for the Cao family and let the Cao family pass it on from generation to generation.

He proposed marriage to Kou Hui for his grandson in order to use Kou Hui to bring those veterans of the patrol horse guards who really held the military power in Jiaozhi into the Cao family's command, so that the Cao family's power in Jiaozhi would become completely monolithic.

.

Then, using Kou Ji's status in the Song Dynasty, he could help him speak a little and completely implement the Cao family's control over Jiaozhi.

Let Jiaozhi completely become the private territory of the Cao family.

However, according to Kou Ji's plan, Jiaozhi was bound to fall under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

Because the Song Dynasty has been in a state of food shortage since the founding of the country.

The rice in Jiaozhi can be harvested twice a year or three times a year.

If it were left to the diligent people of the Song Dynasty to cultivate, the amount of grain produced every year would be a huge amount.

If the Song Dynasty had that kind of food supplement, it would make up for this shortcoming.

By then, the politics, economy, and people's livelihood of the Song Dynasty will have been greatly improved.

Therefore, Jiaozhi was very important to the Song Dynasty.

It was impossible for Kou Ji to let Jiaozhi become the Cao family's private land.

So it was impossible for him to agree to Cao's use.

After listening to Kou Ji's analysis, Liu Heng nodded in agreement, "Cao Li's thoughts are too obvious."

Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "Maybe he is just a test. If the test fails, he may have other methods."

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Kou Ji smiled and said: "The people I arranged for in Jiaozhi sent me news that while Cao Li was sending troops to aid the Song Dynasty, he also secretly sent a group of troops to sea."

Liu Heng was slightly stunned.

Kou Ji smiled and continued: "To the south of the Jiaozhi Sea, there is a huge island, just like the Japanese country.

Cao Liang is secretly sending people to conquer that island.

If what I expected was correct, it was his back-up move.

If he cannot get Jiaozhi, he will definitely move some of his children, grandchildren, and soldiers and horses there, break up the territory overseas, seal the territory, and occupy the mountains to become the king."

Liu Heng said with emotion: "Cao Lili made a really good calculation."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "I just saved his life. He has been working hard for me for more than ten years. That's enough. Besides, he plans to leave his life to me and do some small tricks behind his back. As long as he doesn't cause any harm to me, Da Song

Any harm, I can pretend not to see."

"Leave your life to you?"

Liu Heng was stunned.

Kou Ji nodded and said: "He will send his children and grandchildren to leave Jiaozhi, and he will also send some troops there. But he will never leave unless I give him the nod to leave."

Liu Heng thought about it and said, "It seems like his style."

Speaking of this, Liu Heng said unexpectedly: "You actually asked Cao Li to go overseas to break the earth and make the king. If I had known this, we would occupy a place overseas and break the earth to make the king."

Kou Ji laughed and said, "If you really want to do this, then go ahead."

Liu Heng said in disbelief: "This move is betraying the Song Dynasty. Didn't you hate traitors the most before?"

Kou Ji said frankly: "One moment, another moment. Now our army in the Song Dynasty is strong. After taking over Liao Kingdom, Qingtang, Jiaozhi and other places, the territory has basically reached its limit.

If you continue to fight, you can't control it even if you can fight it down, which will only increase consumption.

Rather than doing this, it is better to let our people go out and occupy it.

It is better to take advantage of our own people than to take advantage of others.

In the future, if there is an internal problem in the Song Dynasty, it will be better if the neighbors are all of us, so we can take care of them."

Speaking of this, Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I have told Zhang Yuan before that if he wants to build a foundation, he will go west with all his strength and do whatever he wants there.

I have given him enough authority and autonomy."

Liu Heng took a deep breath and said: "It's a bit incredible..."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's nothing incredible. Whether it's Zhang Yuan or Cao Yili, I raised him to help the Song Dynasty rise.

Now that the Song Dynasty has risen, there is no need for them to stay.

I'm not the kind of person who just kills the donkey.

I also don’t want their descendants to stare at the Song Dynasty.

Then we can only let them go outside the territory to crack the soil and seal the king."

Kou Ji rested his arms behind his head freely and said with a smile: "Just think about it, thousands of years later, all the rulers in this land will have the same skin color and hair color as us.

, the same eyes as ours.

Everywhere we went, we spoke the same thing.

Isn’t it beautiful?”

Liu Heng lay next to Kou Ji and said with slightly blurred eyes: "When the time comes, there will be no need to learn Japanese when we get to Japan, no need to learn Korean when we get to Korea, no need to learn Tubo dialect when we get to Qingtang, and no need to learn Tubo when we get to Dashi.

Learn the food talk...

It's really good...

If future generations follow the example of you and me and fight in all directions, they will not be stumped by the local dialect..."

The two of them admired and longed for each other, and fell asleep in a daze.

Although both of them know clearly that their vision may not be seen until their death.

But people always have to look forward. If they cannot achieve it, there will be future generations to help them achieve it.

The two fell down on the ground and slept all night.

The next morning.

After getting up.

I simply washed up and had breakfast.

Kou Ji sent someone to summon Zhong Shiheng, and the three of them sat together and talked about the ensuing military affairs.

The number of troops at Gubeikou was not small, and with the addition of the Japanese troops led by Liu Heng and the Jiaozhi troops sent by Cao Liang, they were even more powerful.

Zhong Shiheng had some new ideas and discussed them with Kou Ji and Liu Heng.

Most of the time it was Zhong Shiheng and Liu Heng communicating, and Kou Ji rarely participated.

Zhong Shiheng and Liu Heng discussed a relatively appropriate offensive defense method.

Then he began to apply it on the battlefield.

A period of time followed.

The three of them were inside Gubeikou, mopping up the small group of thugs while waiting for the large group of thugs to approach.

During this period, Kou Ji and Liu Heng often got together and told each other about their experiences and past over the years.

Several days passed in a flash.

The three of them did not wait for the large group of murderers to appear, but instead waited for a rumor that made everyone unable to sit still.

"The official wants to be crowned a king? A living king with a different surname?! I heard there is also a fiefdom?"

Inside Gubeikou.

Kou Ji was busy roasting a young cow.

Zhong Shiheng hurriedly rushed into the courtyard where Kou Ji lived, chasing after Kou Ji in disbelief.

While Kou Ji was applying oil to the cow, he looked at Zhong Shiheng with a strange expression, "Do you miss a woman?"

Zhong Shiheng stared and said loudly: "Why do you miss women? I'm not one of those perverts in the court who can't eat anything without eating meat for a few months."

Kou Ji nodded and asked again: "Then why do you have hallucinations?"

Zhong Shiheng said hurriedly: "What I said is true. If an official wants to be crowned a king, or a king with a different surname, the land will be returned to him."

Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng and was too lazy to talk to him again.

Seeing that Kou Ji ignored him, Zhong Shiheng became even more anxious and shouted: "Why don't you believe me? Do you think I am the kind of person who talks nonsense?"

Kou Ji took the knife, scratched the beef, and said: "I didn't believe it before, but now I kind of believe it."

Zhong Shiheng stared angrily, "What I said is true."

Kou Ji didn't speak again, and he didn't talk to Zhong Shiheng anymore.

Seeing this, Zhong Shiheng stopped Kou Ji who was going to get salt.

Kou Ji lowered his hands and stared at Zhong Shiheng in front of him, "Become a king? Do you think it is possible? In the Song Dynasty, we do not grant the title of living kings with different surnames. This is almost the ancestral system established by Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong.
