|||->-> Chapter 702 Another Great General

Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi, who were driven out of the tent, were all disgraced and confused. Even if he meditated hard, he didn't understand why Shi Bin, who had always been kind, was angry this time, not to mention that they had done their best, and the fault was only on those lazy officials.

The four of them are all generals with a strong sense of honor, of course, they don't want to suffer this unclear nest, but they don't dare to question Shi Bin, who is unmatched in the majesty of the army, so they have to retreat and ask Xu Feng.

"Xu Feng, do you know why the handsome man is so angry this time?" Li Chao asked.

"Master Li, I don't know the specific reason, I can only guess one or two. At first, even I was scolded. But you did not do well, I warned you to hurry up, but you turned a deaf ear to my words..." Xu Feng said.

"Yes, yes, we were wrong, thank you, Brother Xu. Don't talk about the useless ones, just tell me why you guessed it! Xie Qiangbing urged.

"Since the marshal led the troops, he has always defeated the strong with the weak, he went to save others, and this time the marshal helped the Song Dynasty to expand the territory and subdue Dali. According to common sense, everyone in our neighboring countries of the Great Song Dynasty should be in danger, and they only want peace. Even if it is the one who covets the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, it should be a powerful country like Dayuan. Now that he jumped out of a small address to invade my Da Song, didn't he give Da Shuai a slap in the face? Xu Feng sighed and said.

"Makes sense, you have a point. It's a shame to be beaten up by such a small country that used to be my territory. Li Chao said, "The problem is that we shouldn't be scolded like this, it's really too wretched." ”

"Master Li, you and I were originally just ordinary people, and we didn't eat the next meal. Now that the brocade clothes and jade food are all supported by the handsome, what is there to be scolded with such a few words? Da Shuai has done so many big things and good deeds, but he is not scolded by those poor and sour literati? Xu Feng comforted, "The matter is actually not that serious, but it is just a few words, so you should use a few words to exchange high-ranking officials for Houlu and repay the handsome, how about it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Feng still had such a high realm, Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi immediately felt ashamed. Li Chao, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi bowed their heads and were silent, but Xie Qiangbing, who was a little simpler-minded, had the courage to speak: "Brother Xu is right, the marshal has given us so much, we should repay the favor." ”

In this way, the four of them are no longer so depressed and much more comfortable. I also have the spirit to talk about business.

"I heard that now the soldiers and horses of the address have captured Qinzhou, and they have plundered a lot of people and wealth from there, and they are attacking Lianzhou, right?" Li Chao asked Xu Feng.

"That's true, just three days before you came, Qinzhou was broken by Chen Guojun's army leading the site." Speaking of this, Xu Feng slapped his thigh violently and said loudly: "I was wrong just now, the reason why the big marshal scolded you this time is because he broke through Qinzhou!" And the key is not to hand over the address and rob the wealth of the population of my Great Song Dynasty, but that they also killed many ordinary people in my Great Song Dynasty, if there is no such thing, you will be fine even if you arrive late! ”

Although Xu Feng said the wrong point, he was generally correct and comforted them, so Li Chao and the four of them didn't care, but kept silent about it.

"Xu Feng, the marshal can mobilize 100,000 troops this time, of which 50,000 are the most elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, according to my understanding, I am afraid that so many elites are not needed to destroy 100,000 rabble. 60,000 troops are enough for me to lead the troops, and if the marshal personally leads the troops, I'm afraid I don't want 50,000. And now the marshal not only leads the troops himself, but also brings so many male soldiers..." Li Chao frowned and said, obviously waiting for Xu Feng to give an answer.

The reason for this will have to be told to Li Chao and the four sooner or later, but it was delayed just now because Shi Bin was angry, so Xu Feng said very happily: "Lord Li is not bad, the marshal really doesn't just want to exterminate the 100,000 handover army, and he doesn't just want them to pay something, but wants to destroy the handover country and recover an old land for the Great Song Dynasty." Xu Feng said with a smile.

Destroy the address country? Shi Bin's idea was beyond the expectations of the four

。 In their opinion, Shi Bin would have to pay compensation for the land at most, but they didn't expect to plan to destroy the country. On the one hand, he lamented Shi Bin's domineering, and on the other hand, he was glad that he was Shi Bin's friend rather than his enemy. When Shi Bin's enemies really don't have good fruit to eat.

"Xu Feng, does the marshal really want to destroy the country of delivery? Are you sure it's not a spur of the moment? ”

"Lord Xiang, what you said is too unlevel. The commander has always been a spit and a nail, not to mention the words of the commander in the army. If you don't believe me, you can ask the handsome directly. Xu Feng said not very happily.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xiang Shibi immediately apologized to Xu Feng, saying that he did not suspect that Shi Bin was joking, nor did he suspect that Xu Feng was falsely passing on military orders, but felt a little incredible. Following Shi Bin all the year round, Xu Feng's measurement is also a lot bigger, and this kind of thing is also seen a lot, not to mention that Xiang Shibi is a person who Shi Bin admires, of course Xu Feng will not deliberately make things difficult, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey to show that he didn't care.

"Although the men and horses at the address are not well equipped, they are fierce and good at fighting, and you should not underestimate the enemy. If you lose the battle because of this, beware of the marshal getting angry. Xu Feng said to the four of them.

When Li Chao was about to thank him, a guard sent a military order: Xu Feng was ordered to take Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi into the commander's account.

As soon as the four of them came in, Shi Bin said, "I believe Xu Feng has told you the ins and outs of the matter carefully." I guess that includes why I'm angry. ”

"Yes, Sir. Lord Xu told us that three days ago, Qinzhou had been attacked by Chen Guojun with his troops, and a lot of people and wealth were plundered from it, and the key was to massacre many ordinary people. And the lord hates Xue and intends to destroy the country of Jiaozhi, not just let it be a vassal and cede land and pay compensation. ”

"It seems that you have made things very clear, Xu Feng. Okay, the crime you deliberately delayed before will not be investigated. Shi Bin looked at Xu Feng and said. Then he said, "Now that Qinzhou has been broken and Lianzhou is in danger, which of you is willing to be the pioneer to relieve the siege of Lianzhou?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the four people in the tent were vying to be pioneers. It seems that this battlefield to play a striker is not to fight hard but to grab benefits, and it is a great benefit that cannot be missed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. Let me first tell you about the commander of the army who handed over the address, and you will decide after careful consideration. ”

Hearing Shi Bin say this, Li Chao and the four of them were a lot nervous. Although I don't think that Chen Guojun is comparable to Kublai Khan, he must also be a difficult lord to deal with, and most likely he will not be worse than Wuliang Hatai or Hulegu.

"Dashuai, the last general wants to interject a word." Wang Jian said.

"Lord Wang, you say."

"The last general remembers that the Li Dynasty has been at peace with me in the Great Song Dynasty all these years, but now why is it suddenly violating us again?"

"For this reason, Ben Shuai has just learned that Emperor Li Zhao (the only female emperor of the Li Dynasty of Vietnam) gave up the throne to her son Chen Xuan, who is now Chen Taizong, in the sixth year of Baoyou (1258)." Shi Bin explained, "This person is not ambitious, otherwise he would not have seized power." Now that the address is completely under his control, he will naturally hit my Da Song with his idea. ”

This time, everyone understood why Shi Bin asked them to be cautious. How could such a powerful emperor's generals be soft persimmons that are easy to deal with?

"Please tell us the situation of the general who will be handed over this time, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts." Li Chao said immediately.

"This person is the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, named Chen Guojun, a civil and military all-rounder, a quick thinker since childhood, and a victorious general after joining the army, almost undefeated. He is still writing his own book "The Essentials of the Book of Soldiers", and I have heard that this book is quite in-depth. His prestige in the army is also very high. Shi Bin said calmly.

After knowing this, no one in the handsome tent immediately spoke, and they all understood why Shi Bin asked them to think carefully. How can such a person who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and almost undefeated as an opponent, not be cautious?

On the battlefield, the swords and guns are not long-sighted, and there will be no distinction between generals and soldiers, the more generals they are, the more dangerous they are, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed.

Seeing that the four of them were willing to calm down and think seriously, Shi Bin was in his heart

Be tickled pink. After about two cups of tea, he said, "How is it, have you figured out who is going?" ”

"Commander, it is difficult for the last general to take on this heavy responsibility." Xiang Shibi said very heavily.

"The handsome, so is the last general." Wang Jian said.

"Marshal, the last general can be undefeated, but I am afraid it will be difficult to solve the siege of Lianzhou." Xie Qiangbing said a little depressed.

"Dashuai, the end will be able to relieve the siege of Lianzhou, but I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it for a long time." Li Chao said.

"Well, you're still telling the truth. Lord Wang and Lord Xiang are good at holding on and not attacking well. Lord Xie has some ability to hold on and attack, but he is not fine, and he can't defeat Chen Guojun. Master Lee is good at offense and not good at defense. Ben Shuai plans to send two generals, one good to attack and one good to defend to support Lianzhou. Who do you think is a good fit? ”

"Naturally, Lord Wang Jian and Master Li Chao cooperate best." Xie Qiangbing said without hesitation. Although Xiang Shibi hesitated for a while, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"What about the two of you? Are you willing to cooperate with the rescue of Lianzhou? Shi Bin asked.

Wang Jian and Li Chao have no personal enmity, and they both appreciate each other. Now listening to Shi Bin's order for them to be pioneers, the two are naturally very happy and nod their heads in unison.

"Don't think I'm verbose, don't be greedy for merit and rash towards Chen Guojun. Even if he withdraws his troops on his own initiative, you must not chase after him. If you chase after me without authorization, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law. Shi Bin said with a cold face.

These words were equivalent to drawing a bottom line for Li Chao and Wang Jian, their faces immediately cried and mourned, and Xiang Shibi and Xie Qiangbing snickered on the side.

"Marshal, can we use some strategies? If it's a tough one, I'm afraid that Lord Wang and I won't have enough soldiers and horses. Chen Guojun will not even take us in his eyes and continue to beat his Lianzhou. Li Chao said directly.

I have to say that Li Chao's words are very reasonable, and fighting with a general like Chen Guojun naturally can't be too rigid. If that's the case, it's self-defeating, so you really can't tie Li Chao and Wang Jian's hands and feet.

"So what are you going to do? Tell me what you think. Let me think about it. Shi Bin asked.

Li Chao is also a very strategic general, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Let's encircle Wei to save Zhao." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Marshal, the invasion of our Great Song Grain Road by the Address Army must be very long, and it is not easy to transport grain, so we can start from here. If the last general is not bad, Qinzhou must be an important place for the army to store grain. As long as Qinzhou is captured, the handover army will definitely be in chaos. Even if Qinzhou cannot be captured, Chen Guojun will definitely send troops to rescue to protect grain and grain routes. In this way, the pressure on Lianzhou will be greatly reduced, and it will definitely be able to hold out until the army of the commander arrives. ”

"It's old-fashioned, but it's still viable. It's just that it's probably not enough to use a few thousand men under your own command. I plan to send 20,000 of you, 10,000 elites and 10,000 forbidden troops. ”

"My lord, there will be something to say at the end." When Wang Jian and Li Chao were about to thank him, Xiang Shibi suddenly spoke.

I thought that Xiang Shibi was here to make trouble, so several people were not happy, but Xiang Shibi said very calmly: "Please rest assured that Lord Li and Lord Wang are not here to steal credit." Instead, I felt that I could add something. ”

"Tell me about it." Shi Bin gestured.

"The last general thinks that there can be a 'true and false, false and true', so that Chen Guojun can't see through the adults, it may be better." Knowing that everyone hadn't understood what he said, Xiang Shibi continued to explain: "We can order some soldiers to use a hundred people to raise the banner of a thousand people to attack the grain delivery team at the delivery site. Let Chen Guojun not know how many troops came to the Great Song Dynasty to fight the vanguard, once he is uneasy, he will definitely weaken the attack on Lianzhou, and instead order more soldiers to protect the grain route. After all, the longer the grain route, the greater the danger to him. Once the grain route is cut off, his army will not be in a fight. ”

"Okay, this plan is good, Xiang Shibi, the commander will remember your merit first, and reward you together after the war." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Okay, the meeting is over, you guys go and prepare to send troops, there must be no delay!" ”
