Chapter 299: Angering the Yuan People
Now that he has thought it through, Shi Bin plans to discuss with Wang San and Sai Xishi what it is more appropriate to do.
"Li Chao, what you said is correct. Then let's first learn about the specific situation in Longnan from Liu Wang?"
"Big brother is right, we have to learn about the situation in Longnan from Liu Wang first, otherwise we don't know what the attitude of the city guards is." Li Chao nodded in agreement.
"It makes sense, then quickly send someone to Liu Wang's store to contact him." Sai Si Tzu.
"Hmm. How about sending Xu Feng to be the messenger of this letter? He is nimble and cautious. Shi Bin asked.
"It's not very good, Xu Feng is the guard, and it should be replaced by someone else." Sai Xi Shi said very seriously.
"Who's better to send? Sai Xi Shi said to see. Shi Bin laughed.
"Husband, you definitely can't, Li Chao wants to stay to help be a think tank, Xu Feng has to guard you at all times, think about it, it seems that the slave family can go to Longnan to connect with Liu Wang."
Looking at Sai Xishi's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Shi Bin was a little hesitant in his heart, although Sai Xishi was also very capable, but after all, this was his wife, no one wanted his wife to go deep into the tiger's den, but she would not have any problem coping with this situation at all.
So he looked at Li Chao, but saw that Li Chao bowed his head and was silent, while Sai Xishi was muttering on the side. Since this is the case, Shi Bin didn't bother to hesitate any longer, and said, "Madam, then you can go." But you have to promise me one condition. ”
As soon as he heard that Shi Bin promised to go to Longnan to contact Liu Wang, Sai Xishi was of course very happy, and immediately asked Shi Bin what conditions he wanted her to agree.
"It's very simple, after contacting Liu Wang, I will go out of the city with him within half an hour."
Such a condition made Sai Xishi a little frustrated, what she wanted was to go to Longnan City to take a look and have a look, but she didn't expect to stay in the city for half an hour. But obviously, if she didn't agree to Shi Bin's condition, then she didn't want to go at all, and Sai Xishi could only agree in the end.
After entering Longnan City, under the protection of Shi Bin's personal guards, Sai Xishi quickly found Liu Wang's tea shop. As soon as the code was paired, Sai Xi Shi and Liu Wang went into the backyard to discuss what Shi Bin asked.
"Boss Liu, Lord Shi wants to ask about the actions of the Yuan people in Longnan now."
"Sister-in-law Sai, since the last dimension people lost those 80,000 stones of grain and grass, they have been much more cautious." Liu Wang said proudly, "They don't dare to beat and scold us at will now." ”
"Oh? They have changed so much, why? Sai Xishi asked immediately after listening to Liu Wang's words.
"The previous Longnan guard was removed from his post because of this incident and demoted to an ordinary soldier. And the new one who seems to advocate Wenzhi and does not love martial arts, should intend to bring our hearts together. ”
"What a great guy." Sai Xi Shi groaned.
"Yes, may I ask my sister-in-law if there is anything else I need to do this time besides asking about this?"
"Of course, your lord was recommended by Lord Yu Yu as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, but there must be someone in the court who will object, so we must find a way to make him get this position justifiably." Sai Xi Shi said solemnly.
"Of course, if you can be the governor of Sichuan, it will be a blessing for the people of Sichuan. What does he tell me? Liu Wang asked excitedly.
"I want you to go out of the city with me to talk about it, this kind of thing can't be overlooked." Sai Xi Shi said very carefully.
"Understood, understood." After Liu Wang responded, he explained the things in the store and followed Sai Xishi out of the city.
When he arrived in the woods where Shi Bin was hiding, Liu Wang immediately reported to Shi Bin all the information he had heard about the Yuanren in the past few days. According to Liu Wang's statement, Shi Bin understood that it was not very easy to get the Yuan people to take the initiative to attack this time, but he didn't care about this small difficulty. Anyone has weaknesses, and if you find them, everything will be easy.
So Shi Bin opened his mouth and asked, "Liu Wang, now the guard in Longnan City should be an extremely cautious person?" ”
Indeed, he was already frightened by the outcome of his tenure. What's more, he is not a bloodthirsty personality and is somewhat reasonable, so that even if there is some small turmoil in Longnan, he does not need him to go out, so he almost does not go out of the city except for hunting, and shrinks into the city as a turtle. ”
"I didn't expect this to be a guy who has both culture and martial arts, and he is so good at protecting himself, so does he have any weaknesses, Liu Wang?"
"My lord, he loves to drink and hunt like ordinary people, and he doesn't touch the rest. The key is to never go out of the city when drinking, even if you drink water, you also bring your own leather kettle. If you hunt, you have at least twenty personal guards, and it is difficult to start. ”
Hearing this, Shi Bin knew that ordinary methods were useless, and if he wanted to provoke the Yuan people this time, he was afraid that it would not be enough to kill a guard, and it would take a little more effort.
So he remembered the previous croton strategy. Get some croton or something that makes the Yuan people uncomfortable and put it in their food? Not enough once and twice? After thinking about it, this is death, and it is estimated that before the Yuan people lay down, Longnan City has already been slaughtered.
"Liu Wang, I think the key to completely angering the Yuan people is not on the guards, but on those soldiers."
"My lord, that's true. For the generals, they hold the power of the army, but the power is supported by the soldiers under them, so if you want to be in the middle of the people, you must make those soldiers restless, otherwise you will not be able to achieve your goal. ”
"I remember that there will be some Yuan people outside the city who will take turns patrolling, so let's start with them." Shi Bin said in an unquestioning tone.
Liu Wang, Li Chao, and Sai Xishi were all a little surprised, because none of them thought that this would anger the Yuan people in the slightest. It's normal for two soldiers to die in a war. But since Shi Bin is in this tone, the three of them can naturally only obey, and the military order is like a mountain.
It didn't take long for the Yuan people patrolling outside the city to disappear inexplicably, and at first they thought they were lazy to do something bad, and the disappearance one after another aroused the suspicion of the guards, and immediately ordered martial law to the whole city and search the city.
Naturally, nothing could be found, and it didn't take long for the city gate to be opened again. Next, the Yuanren patrol soldiers continued to disappear, and Longnan City was under martial law again. This went back and forth three times, and the guards could only lead the crowd to carry out a major purge in Longnan under pressure.
And Shi Bin had already prepared, and of course the Longnan guards still pounced.
Soon, Shi Bin sent Xu Feng to summon Liu Wang out of Longnan and inquire about the situation inside. As soon as he saw Shi Bin and Liu Wang, he was immediately excited, and the words of praise were endless, and the answer was also very pertinent.
"Liu Wang, are you saying that the relationship between the Neiyuan people in Longnan and our Han people has become very tense, and they have started to mess around?"
"Yes, my lord. Now, as long as we say the wrong thing, they will add punches and kicks, and the villain will take a few blows. Liu Wang said with some embarrassment.
Of course, Shi Bin wanted to condole, but Liu Wang did not feel wronged, but said that he would continue to work for Shi Bin.
"They're starting to get agitated, which is a good start, but it's not enough, do you have any other way to make those Yuan people more excited? It's better to lose your mind, and it's not to be mad at the common people in Longnan City. Shi Bin asked.
"Why don't we wipe out all the Yuan people outside the city? Town-by-town eradication? I don't think the Yuan people can bear it like this. Li Chao said viciously.
Although this method is not very good, but the danger is not big and it is simple, and I can't think of a better way for the time being, of course Shi Bin immediately agreed, but added a clause: Kill it, but don't abuse,. In case the Yuan people retaliate with ordinary people, they have to keep a few alive.
Everyone understood what Shi Bin advised, so they resolutely implemented it in the subsequent actions.
Within five days, all the Yuan people in Longnan were forced into the city, and even the transportation of grain and grass was guarded by at least two hundred people, and they no longer dared to swagger.
What made the Yuan people feel the most unbearable was that not long after, Shi Bin signaled that the few living Yuan people who stayed behind were released back to Longnan City, and one of them also brought a letter of insult. The guard general naturally killed those guys who were greedy for life and afraid of death without saying a word.
Today's harassment and insults, the Yuan people in Longnan are on the verge of collapse, but it is far from enough to anger the Yuan people in one place, at least the Yuan people in three places must join forces in order to attract the attention of the Song court, and he Shi Bin can really become the commander-in-chief of Sichuan.
Everything is man-made, and now that it is going well, Shi Bin naturally brought hundreds of elites to pretend to be horse bandits to find trouble with the Yuan people.
Battlefield veterans are not afraid of killing opponents, but endless harassment, which will make people no longer calm judgment mistakes, one wrong step, one wrong step, and produce the worst results.
Although the defenders of Longnan have already informed Tianshui and Baoji, even the guards of Dingxi have reminded them. But everything is the most real only through personal experience, but people are different, there are hot tempers and peaceful tempers. Under the coercion of those fiery guys, the soldiers and horses from all over the world really joined forces and chased Shi Bin desperately.
The next thing is much easier, of course Shi Bin can't lead the crowd to flee outside the city all the time, he must go into the city to replenish supplies. At this time, Shi Bin stopped his horse and asked: "The horse is fat, and the supplies are insufficient, let's run for two more days at most, where do you say we will go next?" ”
Where to? No one had thought about this problem before, and everyone subconsciously thought that they wanted to go back to Chengdu.
Seeing this, Shi Bin smiled slyly: "We can't go back to Chengdu." If they really returned to Chengdu, those Yuan people would definitely retreat without a fight. ”
Li Chao and Sai Xishi listened to Shi Bin's words and realized that the total number of soldiers and horses of the Four Earth Yuan was only 12,000, and the number of people who could be sent out to chase down would not exceed 7,000. What's more, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, how could these thousands of Yuan people who did not have much grain and grass dare to besiege Chengdu?
"So where are we going? My lord. Li Chao asked.
"Naturally, it is to defend the weakest and most sensitive city of the Yuan people." Shi Bin smiled slyly again.
"Guangyuan!" Li Chao and Sai Xi Shi said in unison.
"That's right, it's Guangyuan!" Shi Bin smiled, "Remember, we still have to pretend that we may be attacked at any time, if nothing else, just to provoke them." ”
Speaking of which, Li Chao and Sai Xishi understood everything, and immediately followed Shi Bin's explanation.
As expected, the Yuan people really surrounded Guangyuan on all sides, but they couldn't attack it for a long time. And Xu Feng, who had been sent in advance, returned to Chengdu to transfer some cavalry to harass the Yuan people. It is not to retreat, nor is it to attack, and it is very painful.
And Yu Jue's twists and turns were sent to Lin'an by Sai Xishi, who returned to Chengdu, with an expedited 600 miles and non-stop, with only one purpose: to order Shi Bin to be the commander of Sichuan to resist the Yuan people.
