Chapter Twenty-Seven: Heroes Save Beauty

After the herald left, Shi Bin summoned several brothers to the room to discuss the specific matters of sending troops. The Yuan people came from the north, and the three roads of Zaoyang, Dengzhou and Xinye on the side of Xiangyang were all important roads.

Among the three places, Xinye is strategically located and is the throat of the north and south.

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming burned Xinye here, so the Yuan people will hoard heavy troops here, and the grain and grass will not be far from here.

Although it is necessary to determine the approximate location of the enemy's food and grass, it is necessary to first explore the surrounding terrain and the enemy's formation. lest they rush into the enemy camp and be surrounded on all sides, becoming a turtle in an urn, unable to evacuate safely.

Shi Bin was very worried that he would not be able to catch up with the task, but he could only do it in a hurry, after all, the battle plan was very important, and it was a matter of life and death for hundreds of people.

Although Wang San was also in a hurry, he behaved very calmly.

On the one hand, he believes that it is useless to be in a hurry, and it may also affect the correct formulation of battle plans. On the other hand, he believes that this campaign will not be fought in two or three months, and even if it is over, there will be a next one.

Even if the Southern Song Dynasty lost Xiangyang, they would be able to return safely with these weapons in their hands, and it would be a big deal to continue to store their strength in Jingzhou.

It's a little annoying to see Shi Bin care so much about going out to fight Wang San, but the reality is that although the two of them can walk, their injuries are still not healed, which is really unreassuring.

In the end, Wang San and the other brothers discussed, so they simply thought of a way to take Shi Bin and him early and set off immediately.

Zhao Gang said a good way, directly let Shi Bin and Wang San lie on a side car that did not put a tiger squatting cannon, and just walk with a horse.

Wang San said with a smile, it seems that it is indeed the authorities who are obsessed with bystanders. Originally, I always thought that the general of the unified army should have the majesty, even if he couldn't ride a horse, he walked crookedly, which was really unusual.

But he didn't expect to place the two of them in this side car, which not only protected them but also did not damage the military prestige.

Hearing this idea, Shi Bin and Wang San were very happy, and sent ten scouts to explore the road that day.

And he ordered that at least a hundred miles be probed, and thirty people should be asked, and that they must be of all kinds. Especially merchants, monks, Taoist priests and other people who wander around.

On the second day after the carriage was reconstructed, he led the men and horses of the two capitals to march to Xiangyang with 30 tiger squat cannons, 30,000 wooden handles of earth-shaking thunder and other baggage.

Along the Dajin Mountain and the Hanshui River to the north, this piece of the plain road that still belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is easy to walk, and the troops advance relatively quickly.

Gradually, Shi Bin was not in a hurry, only thinking about which direction to insert into the Yuanren's flank and launch an attack.

Before crossing the Han River, the convoy actually stopped, and Shi Bin was suddenly unhappy. It's not good to stop moving forward without asking for instructions.

called the team captain Zhao Gang over and was about to reprimand, but Zhao Gang preemptively said that he should decide one thing.

Shi Bin knew that Zhao Gang didn't stop marching for no reason, so there was no fire, after all, he was also a reasonable person.

However, he still feigned anger and said: "The march is always the most important thing, and it must not be stopped without the commander's military order." Even if there are 100,000 urgent things, they can only be reported while marching. ”

"Yes! All heads. Zhao Gang didn't have so many eyes and immediately replied solemnly.

Then Zhao Gang ordered several soldiers to carry Shi Bin to the front of the team. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a girl who looked like a maid lying in front of the line, blocking the official road and preventing them from moving forward at full speed.

It is indeed not very easy to deal with such a weak woman blocking the road, and it is naturally not possible to forcibly pull away, but the woman did not listen to the good words and persuasions.

She only begged the officers and soldiers to save the eldest lady of their family who had been taken captive.

Wang San asked who kidnapped her young lady, but the little maid was secretive, only saying that there were forty or fifty bandits, but they were still very powerful, and all of them were killed in his nursing home not long after.

Shi Bin was also a little surprised to see this. It stands to reason that such a little maid from an ordinary family would have been so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly when she saw the officials and soldiers, and she would not be so bold at all. Unless it is a dignitary whose family has seen the world; Then there are the spies of the Yuan people, knowing their plan of action, they want to invite the king into the urn and annihilate them all.

Looking at the maid lying on the ground, although covered with mud, it is still very delicate, a little bit of jasper. Shi Bin couldn't help but feel a little pity, and was very curious about why she was lying here.

Is this a loyal little girl who is everyone's best girl, or an elite female spy who is brave and resourceful?

A little maid is so bold, so isn't this kidnapped eldest lady even more extraordinary?

Wang San immediately became worried when he saw Shi Bin's face change, and said in his ear: "Big brother, we have military orders in our bodies, although it is only an attempt to attack, it is better to be nosy." ”

Seeing that Wang San was very worried, Shi Bin said with a smile: "Brother Xian, don't worry, this little brother is still light." ”

"Then the big brother still looks like he wants to meddle in things? That's not right, it's not right, you must be nosy. Absolutely not, how much risk did we take to get this opportunity? Wang San said angrily.

Shi Bin smiled and said, "Brother Xian is really powerful, could it be that he has the ability to read minds?" I wanted to take care of it, but I didn't say it and took care of it directly! ”

"It's pretty much the same, but I have to tell me the plan, let the junior brother be a staff officer, please forgive me for the offense. If the eldest brother wants to ask for the guilt, if I am still alive after the attack, I will be punished by you. Wang San said with a look of not giving an inch.

"Well, what's more, if you don't ask me, I'll find your counselor. I wanted to take most of my troops on, but I secretly sent ten soldiers out of the camp pretending to be angry to follow the little maid and see if she was true or not. ”

After hearing this, Wang San loudly praised this strategy as very good, and Shi Bin was really thoughtful. Only Shi Bin knew that this was a "strategy" that he had seen rotten in the TV series.

So Wang San immediately sent a few soldiers who were not so rude to drag the maid aside, although he struggled again and again, shouting loudly, hoping that those officers and soldiers could save his young lady's life.

However, it is the duty of the soldiers to obey orders, and if the military supervisor does not give orders when carrying out military orders, ordinary soldiers who dare to act without authorization will inevitably be beheaded, so no one comes back to help.

The troops probably marched about thirty miles, and the soldiers who had "left the camp in anger" returned to the place where Shi Bin had set up camp, and told him that the maid was still lying on the road, begging for help.

"Heroes save beauty"? Shi Bin really wants to do this now. Besides, there will be no brigade of soldiers in the vicinity, that is, just one or two hundred-man teams, not to mention that it should still be possible to annihilate them to protect themselves.

What's more, Meng Dutong did not give a death order, requiring him to take down the granaries of the Yuan people and burn their grain.

It's a big deal that just a harassment and an immediate retreat is not a violation of the order to 'attempt an attack'.

So he sent his troops to bring the little maid into the camp and inquire carefully.

But at the beginning, the maid only asked Shi Bin if he was willing to save her young lady, but she was very tight-lipped and refused to tell her identity, only saying that once rescued, there would be a good reward.

Of course, Shi Bin refused to lead his troops to attack so rashly and rescue this eldest lady who didn't even know her identity.

Even if it was to verify that what the little maid said was true, Shi Bin had to think carefully before deciding whether to rescue or not.

However, it was obvious that she was very anxious, both wanting Shi Bin to save his young lady and keeping the identity of that young lady secret.

Shi Bin belongs to the kind of person who is a little hearty but relatively refreshing, seeing that the maid is dead or alive, he doesn't let go, and then thinks about it, since it is most likely not a pit, he will simply rescue the young lady.

Immediately, the little girl led the way, and walked to the fork in the road leading to Zaoyang, and found two deep traces that were pressed out by the car.

Seeing these indentations, Wang San was overjoyed, this is likely to be left by the Yuan army's grain transportation team, that is to say, the Yuan people's grain and grass are hoarded in Zaoyang.

When Shi Bin heard the news, he ordered to immediately pull out the camp and advance at full speed, and all the scouts and cavalry were dispatched.

It didn't take long for the scouts to come back and report that there was a grain convoy about fifteen miles ahead, but not only forty or fifty yuan soldiers but nearly a hundred. There was indeed a woman in the grain delivery team who was tied up by the Yuan soldiers.

The woman was dressed in men's clothes, her personality was violent, and she kept scolding and struggling. Although her demeanor is not as good as that of everyone's ladies, the daughters of ordinary people will never behave like this.

Indeed, if she hadn't received some education, ordinary village women would probably not have been able to speak and the road would have been gone long ago when she saw such a group of fierce and vicious soldiers. Not to mention swearing and struggling.

In Shi Bin's opinion, this is a godsend, not only to destroy this group of Yuan soldiers and rescue the young lady, but also to pretend to be Yuan soldiers to infiltrate the camp and set fire to the Yuan soldiers' grain and grass.

It is easy to destroy this group of soldiers, but it is difficult to ensure the safety of the woman. However, Wang San smiled again with a confident look.

"Say it, Brother Xian." Shi Bin was no longer surprised by Wang San's resourcefulness, and asked directly when he saw him like this.

"Hehe, big brother, let's just make a noise. Look where the woman is, if you are in the front team, send troops to attack the rear team, and then send a small team of men and horses to assassinate the soldiers around the woman with crossbow arrows, and if the woman is in the back team, then attack the front team. What's more, for the Yuan people, of course, grain and grass are the most important, how can they not care about grain and grass for a woman? ”

According to Wang San's arrangement, Shi Bin divided the team into two parts, 180 people to attract the team, and sent 20 people to use crossbow arrows to save people.

Sure enough, as Wang San expected, when Yuan Bing saw that the grain team was attacked, he immediately ignored the eldest lady, leaving only two soldiers beside her to watch.

However, the cold weapons that were defeated with advanced firearms were a surprise attack, and the terrain was not favorable to the Yuan people, so the battle almost became a one-sided massacre.

However, in order to ensure that the woman would not be injured by mistake, Shi Bin ordered that only the wooden handle of the earth-shaking thunder and crossbow arrows should be used, and the tiger squat cannon was not allowed.

The battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour, and Shi Bin was shocked when he saw the woman. Although it was disheveled and scattered by the Yuan people, it was still beautiful and fragrant.

After the woman was rescued, knowing that they were official soldiers, he told Shi Bin that she was Jia Yidao's daughter, Jia Ling.

However, the eldest lady didn't show much gratitude, but just smiled at Shi Bin and the others.

Shi Bin and several people were very happy to know that she was the daughter of the commander of Huguang, and they knew that this was an eldest lady who had been spoiled since she was a child, and they didn't care about her rudeness, Shi Bin and Wang San laughed and didn't say anything.

In Wang San's opinion, this is Tianzhu Shi Bin, and it is definitely a great thing to be able to contact Meng Heng and be able to catch the line of Jia Nidao.

With such good luck, as long as you act carefully, can you still not pay homage to the prime minister?

Since Shi Bin still had to lead the army, he had to send three soldiers to escort Jia Ling back to Jingzhou City, and he went all out to Zaoyang. I just hope that I can burn down the warehouse of the Yuan army as soon as possible and return with victory.
