"It's just...children and grandchildren have their own love for grandchildren, don't do anything for them..."

Kou Ji let out a long sigh.

Kou Ji waved his hand to Chen Lin, "You go down and rest for a while. You are not young anymore. If you get seriously ill and die because of overwork, I will lose another friend."

Chen Lin sighed and left the mountain.

Kou Ji stood on the top of the mountain with his stomach tummy, murmuring to himself, "You forced Zhao Run on me when you were dying because you wanted me to take care of Zhao Run and help Zhao Run rise to power. You also know that with Zhao Run's identity,

As long as you become my student, 90% of the time you will be able to secure the position of crown prince.

But the crown prince is not an official.

If he wants to be an official, he must first survive the official life.

The life span of an official family is not short."

After Kou Ji said this, he walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

A mourning hall has been set up for Cao Wei at the foot of the mountain.

After Kou Ji came down from the mountain, he led the soldiers in the army to express condolences.

Then he ordered the soldiers in the army to keep vigil for Cao Wei for three days.

Three days later.

Kou Ji gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed towards Shangjing like wolves and tigers.

After they came out of the mountain, they ran away like wild horses running wild.

Kou Ji knew they were competing for credit, but he didn't stop them.

He did not follow in a hurry, but instead led the people to measure the territory of Liao Kingdom slowly and leisurely.

On the day hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out, Shangjing was defeated.

When the soldiers and horses of the nine new Khitan clans entrenched outside Shangjing City saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Song Dynasty, they offered little resistance and quickly fled north.

Gao Chugong and Liu Heng pursued them with their troops and horses.

Zhong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, Di Qing and others stayed in Shangjing.

They did not send troops to attack Shangjing City, but piled up thousands of artillery pieces at the gate of Shangjing City, and fired a fierce bombardment at the south gate of Shangjing City.

Thousands of artillery pieces were fired at a city gate in the capital, turning it into rubble.

Shangjingcheng was defeated.

Yelu Zongzhen rejected Xiao Yanliu and others' proposal to flee north, and chose to hang himself in the palace in Shangjing.

After Xiao Yanliu and others were defeated in Shangjing City, they led the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing City to fight bloody battles without surrender.

Zhong Shiheng ordered the massacre of Shangjing City.

When Kou Ji arrived at Shangjing City, Zhong Shiheng and others had already led their troops and horses to leave Shangjing City.

Standing outside Shangjing City, staring at the ruins of Shangjing City, Kou Ji sighed sincerely, "A good city was ruined."

Chen Lin stood beside Kou Ji and sighed: "The Liao Kingdom has dominated this city for decades. But now it has been reduced to scorched earth."

Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "This is the general trend of the world...one family will prosper and the other will decline..."

Chen Lin solemnly said: "Our family hopes that the Song Dynasty will continue to prosper and be passed down to generations."

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said in a neutral tone: "The official is not here, so your flattery is useless."

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji, "We are not saying this just to impress the horses. We are hoping that the people of the Song Dynasty will never suffer from military disasters."

Kou Ji was silent for a moment and said, "You know, that's impossible."

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji fiercely and said nothing.

Kou Ji pointed to Shangjing City and said, "Go in and have a look."

The two of them entered Shangjing City together.

Except for the Liao Imperial Palace, all other places in Shangjing City have been reduced to scorched earth.

It is worth mentioning that there was not a single corpse in Shangjing City, only the bloodstains on the ground reminded Kou Ji that a battle had occurred here.

The Battle of Yumenguan made Zhong Shiheng and others realize the horror of the plague.

So after every war, they would quickly clean up the battlefield.

After cleaning the battlefield, all the corpses will be buried or burned together.

Therefore, Kou Ji did not see a single corpse in Shangjing City.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin wandered around Shangjing City, and then at Chen Lin's urging, they rushed to the Liao Palace.

The size of the Liao Palace was far twice as large as the Song Palace in Bianjing.

There is no shortage of palaces, temples, pavilions and pavilions.

Kou Ji stood at the door of the Liao Palace and said with emotion: "In the past, Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao invited me to come here, but I refused. I didn't expect that when I really set foot here, it would be such a scene."

Chen Lin went into the palace and said again and again: "Our family is more concerned about the real body of Yelu Zong. It was specially ordered by the officials to be brought back to us."

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, and accompanied Chen Lin into the Liao Palace.

In the main hall of the Liao Palace, I saw the real coffin of Yelu Zong.

Kou Ji was not interested in looking at the real corpse of Yelv Zong, but Chen Lin rushed forward as if he had seen a treasure, carefully inspected the real corpse of Yelv Zong, and then urged the work he brought to examine the real corpse of Yelv Zong.

Some simple anti-corrosion treatments were done.

The real body of Yelu Zong was to be sent to Bianjing City for Zhao Zhen to view.

Chen Lin didn't want Yelv Zong's real body to rot and stink after being transported to Bianjing City.

So some anti-corrosion treatment must be done.

While they were doing embalming, Kou Ji wandered around the Liao Palace, and finally returned to the main hall and said to Chen Lin: "This is a good place. It can be used as a temporary palace for officials."

The imperial palaces of the Liao Kingdom were almost filled with buildings and sculptures that fit the status of the emperor.

Others can't use it at all.

If demolished, the entire palace will be destroyed.

Moreover, the palace here must have cost countless money to build.

It would be a bit wasteful to dismantle it.

It might as well be used as Zhao Zhen's palace, with Zhao Zhen sending eunuchs to guard and maintain it.

Chen Lin felt that Kou Ji's proposal was good, so she secretly ordered the people who were worried about Wu Desi to temporarily stay here until Zhao Zhen sent the stationed eunuchs.

Kou Ji stayed in Shangjing for one night.

After waking up the next day, he mounted his horse and left Shangjing.

There were few living people in Shangjing City and the city was not very popular, so Kou Ji did not want to stay here any longer.

Kou Ji left, but Chen Lin stayed.

The city of Shangjing was captured, Yelv Zongzhen's corpse was obtained, and his mission was completed. There was no need to continue to stay in the army.

After Kou Ji left Shangjing City, he headed north.

Wherever he passed, except for some scattered cattle, sheep, and horses, he saw nothing else.

If it was like this for one or two places, Kou Jidao wouldn't think much about it, but it was the same for seven or eight places in a row.

Kou Ji's face turned dark.

"Where are the prisoners?!"

Not a single prisoner was found.

Are people like Zhong Shiheng crazy?

To the north of Shangjing City, there are four or five other prefectures.

If it became a no-man's land, how could the Song Dynasty govern this place?

Kou Ji, with a dark face, jumped on his horse and caught up with Zhong Shiheng and his party.

After seeing only a few prisoners in Zhong Shiheng's military camp, Kou Ji looked a little better.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

Kou Ji broke into the tent and several people were shocked.

Before several people could speak, Kou Ji asked directly: "Where are the prisoners?"

Zhong Shiheng was stunned for a moment and replied: "Those people outside the camp are prisoners."

Kou Ji said with a dark face: "You have conquered more than a dozen cities north of Shangjing City and captured less than 10,000 people. Do you think I am easy to deceive?"

Zhong Shiheng hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with me and others. It is the Wulie tribe and other tribes who fled Shangjing City before and took away everyone north of Shangjing City.
