Chapter 416: Shi Jian Jun

Since a plan was negotiated that was acceptable to everyone, the rest would be taken care of. In order to make Wang Lixin's work smoother, Li Zong decided that he ordered him to be the envoy of Jingdong Road, although Wu Qian was still the commander of Jingdong Road, but only assisted Wang Lixin to destroy the Yuan army. For a time, Wang Lixin's status was in full swing.

This kind of opportunity to make a contribution is too rare, and of course it must be seized. Wang Lixin, who received the order, did not dare to slack off, and immediately went north to Qingzhou without stopping.

Seeing that Wang Lixin is now actively loyal to himself, Li Zong is naturally very happy, and before Wang Lixin has left the Lin'an realm, Li Zong has given him a lot of awards.

This can make Shi Bin, Zhao Kui, Li Fu and Uncle Xie Fang all dissatisfied, thinking that Li Zong favors one over the other. Especially Li Fu is the most dissatisfied, in fact, his task is the most dangerous, it is likely that there will be no return, but Li Zong did not give him a reward and only gave Wang Lixin. This made him really angry.

Expecting that Li Fu would have ideas, Shi Bin and Zhao Kui immediately went outside the city to comfort their allies of the main battle faction, saying that they would definitely fully support him and do their best to keep him safe. After Zhao Kui left, Shi Bin bluntly said that he would ask Li Xu to send someone to protect him in private, but Li Fu had to keep it secret. And emphasized'Words don't spread six ears', externally, those who protect Li Fu can only be called mercenaries.

With Shi Bin's elite protection Li Fu is naturally relieved, and at the same time very grateful, and said that he must still be the main battle faction, even if the peace talks are still good.

In this way, Wang Lixin and Li Fu both happily went north.

As soon as he entered the door, the servant ran over and told Shi Bin: Zhao Kui was waiting in the study. After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin knew why Zhao Kui didn't go back to the house directly but waited in his study. Although I hate him for being so troublesome, I also admire him for being so loyal to the country. So I suppressed my unhappiness and went to the study to see him.

As soon as he saw Shi Bin, Zhao Kui began to apologize, "Hello, Lord Shi." I'm sorry, it's rude to enter the door without your consent. ”

"Lord Zhao doesn't have to be so polite, may I ask why your lord is here?"

"The old man bothered, please don't blame the adults, naturally it is for Wang Lixin's Northern Expedition."

"Lord Zhao has worked hard for the country, and Shi Mou'an dares to blame? I just don't understand what is the relationship between Wang Lixin's Northern Expedition and Shi? Lord Zhao should contact Lord Wu Qian about this matter..." Shi Bin's words were true, he didn't think clearly about what Wang Lixin's Northern Expedition had to do with him.

"Lord Shi, you are really a full man, you don't know how hungry a man is hungry. How much effect can Wang Lixin have if he goes north with only 2,000 people? ”

These words made Shi Bin even more confused, and Li Zong ordered Wang Lixin to be the envoy of Jingdong Road, and the entire Jingdong army should be at his disposal. Although Jingdong Road has just been recovered, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if most of them are guarding the city fortress, but the number that can be mobilized is never less than 20,000, how can he only have 2,000 men and horses in his hands, is Zhao Kui old and confused?

Knowing that Shi Bin didn't understand the meaning of his words, Zhao Kui sighed and said, "Lord Shi, with all due respect, the old man said bluntly, you were able to transfer troops without scruples before, just because of Lord Meng's respect for you and your father-in-law, Lord Jia's support. Lord Wang does not have this support, and I, the Great Song Dynasty, have always led their own troops, so Lord Wang definitely does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands. Even if it's more than two thousand, it's not more than five thousand. ”

Although he vaguely understood what Zhao Kui meant, Shi Bin still didn't want to speak first, but pretended to be confused, saying that he still didn't understand and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Kui is here to beg for help, of course he can't put up a fight, and he can't help Shi Bin if he wants to pretend to be stupid. In the end, he could only speak: "The old man just wants to ask the adults to send a few letters to your three subordinates in Henan and Jingxi Road, and ask them to deal with Lord Wang and help Lord Wang share some of the pressure." ”

was not appointed by Li Zong as the commander of the Northern Expedition, although Shi Bin was not angry in his heart, he was not happy. Now that he wants to contribute to himself and his subordinates without the slightest benefit, Shi Bin doesn't bother to pay attention to it. So take the system of the Song Dynasty as an example: the emperor must agree to Wang Lixin to lead more soldiers and horses, and the Privy Council can only lower the military order. And it is also necessary to give Li Xu, Yi Jun and Liu Xiao a formal official document ordering them to assist in exterminating the Yuan people. He, the old boss, can't overstep his authority, and he can't let Li Xu and the three of them be saddled with the black cauldron of transferring troops without authorization.

Knowing why Shi Bin was like this, Zhao Kui also understood it very well, so he took a step back and smiled helplessly: "Lord Shi, what do you think is like this, I will go to the emperor to ask for an edict now, and you will also write a few letters to your subordinates here." As soon as the will is coming, please send the letter along with the will. How about the old man owes you a favor? ”

Seeing that Zhao Kui was so persistent, Shi Bin couldn't keep his face repeatedly, so he had to agree. As if worried that Shi Bin was just coping, Zhao Kui did not leave immediately. As a last resort, Shi Bin had no choice but to pick up a pen and write his 'Shi Bin style'.

This kind of 'cursive writing' made Zhao Kui understand why Shi Bin was reluctant to write, in order to take care of Shi Bin's face, when he wrote the third word, Zhao Kui quickly left the study.

Under Zhao Kui's painstaking persuasion, Li Zong finally agreed to let Wang Lixin lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Wu Qian, Li Xu, Yi Jun and Liu Xiao must all fully support him in exterminating the Yuan people. When Zhao Kui came back with the holy decree, Shi Bin happily showed Zhao Kui the three letters, and sent them out in front of him.

After doing everything he could, it was useless to worry about it, Zhao Kui thanked Shi Bin and went back to the house to rest.

Zhao Kui was relieved that Shi Bin was not at ease, he understood his brothers very well. Even if they have their own handwritten letters, they may not be able to help Wang Lixin, at most they will not make trouble. If Wang Lixin exterminated and harassed the Yuan people, Li Zong was afraid that he would think about peace talks again.

However, Shi Bin is too lazy to care about these now, and it is a big deal to unite with Zhao Kui to insist on fighting against the Yuan people when the time comes.

It didn't take long for two pieces of good and bad news to come, the good news was that Li Fu had reached a tacit agreement with the remnants of Guiyou and Meng Ge's brother Ali Buge not to support Meng Ge and the Great Song Dynasty to start a full-scale war; The bad news is that Wang Lixin's march was not smooth, not only did he not exterminate the Yuan people in Guanzhong, but also caused many Yuan soldiers in Guanzhong to pour into Henan and Jingdong Road, making the situation even more unbearable.

Such a result was unacceptable to anyone, and Li Zong, Shi Bin, Zhao Kui and Uncle Xie Fang were all disappointed in Wang Lixin. Naturally, the Rinshu had a desire for peace talks.

When Shi Bin and Zhao Kui found out, they immediately entered the palace to ask to see Li Zong. Fortunately, Li Zong was not rigid and self-serving, so he met the two of them in the study.

"Two Aiqing, it was your main battle at the beginning, but now that it has become this situation, what are you going to do??" Rizuma asked angrily.

Of course, the two would not admit their mistakes, because in the eyes of Shi Bin and Zhao Kui, this was not a mistake in their strategy, but a mistake in employing people, and Wang Lixin, who had no foundation in the north and no experience in fighting cavalry in the plains, should not be allowed to lead the army. So he said in unison: "Your Majesty, this problem is easy to solve." ”

Good to solve? The battle was fought like this, and it was said that it would be easy to solve, which sounded too ridiculous to the Sect. But it was Shi Bin and Zhao Kui, two generals who had fought with the Yuan people, who said it, and Li Zong didn't believe it at all, so he could only signal them to say why.

Zhao Kui immediately said: "Your Majesty, we have all ignored a problem before. ”

"What's the problem?"

"This problem is that Lord Wang has only had the experience of suppressing bandits in the south, but he has never fought with the Yuan people, let alone the Yuan cavalry on the plain. So it's normal that his grades won't be better than that of Lord Wu Qian. Now it has angered the Yuan people in Guanzhong, so the situation has deteriorated. So it's not that there's a problem with our strategy, it's that there's a problem with employing people. Otherwise, Lord Li Fu would not have sent back good news. ”

Li Zong is not a person without a little bone, I heard that Li Fu had made progress, so I felt that it was nothing to fight again, and the money and food were enough to fight for some face and come back. However, it is said that there must be limits, and there can be such endless skirmishes.

Shi Bin and Zhao Kui agreed with this attitude, and the three of them then discussed how to fight and who would be better to lead the troops.

Zhao Kui said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is best for Lord Shi to lead the troops in this battle." ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Kui's words, Li Zong's face became gloomy, and he felt that he couldn't get around Shi Bin no matter how he fought with the Yuan people. Give him a feeling of 'leaving the butcher Zhang and having to eat hairy pigs'.

Of course, Li Zong couldn't be too disgusted with himself, Shi Bin came back and did the opposite, and immediately said very modestly: "Lord Zhao praised it falsely. Shi is not so powerful, in my opinion, Lord Lu Wende Lu is not bad. He played well against Mungo last time. ”

In fact, everyone knows that this is nonsense, Lu Wende may be able to defend the city, but it is definitely not possible to fight against cavalry on the plain, so neither Li Zong nor Zhao Kui immediately expressed their stance on Shi Bin's suggestion.

The situation suddenly became a little embarrassing, Zhao Kui wanted Shi Bin to lead his troops to exterminate the Yuan people, and he thought the same as Li Zong, and he didn't want Shi Bin to be high. But he didn't expect Li Zong's reaction to be so violent, Zhao Kui had to change his strategy and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say yet, and Lord Shi doesn't have to be in such a hurry to express his position." Let's listen to what the old minister said first, how about it? ”

Since Zhao Kui still hadn't finished speaking, Li Zong and Shi Bin both calmed down again and agreed with him to continue.

Weichen still said that he wanted to give Lord Wang a chance, and he couldn't completely deny Lord Wang just because he failed once. As for what I said about Lord Shi leading the troops in this battle, I don't mean Lord Shi serving as the commander. Zhao Kui looked at Shi Bin with some embarrassment.

Zhao Kui's words immediately made Li Zong feel a lot more comfortable, but Li Zong and Shi Bin didn't understand what he meant. What does it mean to let Shi Bin lead the troops but not serve as the commander-in-chief? Isn't this nonsense?

"Please forgive Lord Shi first, Zhao means to ask you to serve as Lord Wang's supervisor, but specifically to exercise the duties of supervising the army and joining the army." Zhao Kui lowered his head as he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Shi Bin.

This time, Shi Bin completely understood what Zhao Kui meant, and he wanted to be Wang Lixin's master and help Li Zong cultivate a fierce general who could also fight against the Yuanren cavalry. Although this is a good way to stabilize the north, it makes Shi Bin feel very unhappy. He has always been an apprentice of the church, starving the master to death, which is ridiculous.

After hearing this, Li Zong was immediately overjoyed and expressed his support for Zhao Kui's proposal. didn't care about Shi Bin's reaction at all, he just praised Shi Bin as a loyal and good general who could take care of the overall situation, and then Li Zong began to discuss specific issues with Zhao Kui in front of him.

The wood was already in the boat, and Shi Bin knew that it was irretrievable, so he painfully accepted the decision, but at the same time, he was also secretly determined not to let Li Zong and Zhao Kui achieve their goal so easily. even have to find a way to win over Wang Lixin, so that they can lose their wives and soldiers, and they will not be able to say their hardships when the time comes.
