Chapter 177: Pleading

With a group of ecstatic subordinates, he fought the autumn wind everywhere, squeezing the gang of traitors who had taken refuge in the Yuan people to retreat contentedly without any oil and water.

However, in order to do enough tricks, he said that he went north not only to grab military horses, but also to spy on the intelligence of the Yuan army, so when he retreated, he left fifty scout cavalry, scattered in all directions, and pretended to be Yuan soldiers to spy on intelligence everywhere, especially emphasizing that if there is important information, don't be afraid to spend money to buy it, and the money spent is all on his account.

In this way, Shi Bin can explain when he returns to the camp, and he will not be caught by the pigtails, so that those hostile forces will have nowhere to do if they want to do bad.

Everyone knows that this Shi Zhizhou is true to his word, and he has gained a lot of benefits, as for the low-tech work of buying intelligence, they are already familiar with it, isn't this just to send food to their mouths? After all, there is no one who buys information and does not take a handful in the middle.

Therefore, the fifty scouts who were assigned this mission were very happy, and those who were not assigned to this mission showed envy and jealousy.

In order not to make his return to the camp look too public, he has been walking on the mountain path, which is considered to be tired all the way, and the original five-day journey made Shi Bin walk for fifteen days.

Although the fifty scattered cavalry had to collect the military secrets of the Yuan people in the rear, the speed of the march was still much faster than the main force scurrying around in the mountains and forests, so they returned to the camp a day earlier than Shi Bin's large army. Not only did he report to Yu Yu about the military deployment of the Yuan army outside the city, but also the layout of the Hanzhong city defense army, the rules of changing shifts and the living habits of the guards were all brought back. Even if this is not a high-level secret, it is enough to show that Shi Bin is conscientious and capable.

The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short, and the fifty scouts are naturally loyal to Yu Jue, but no one has more than one to tell Yu Jue that Shi Bin went north to seize the Yuan people's military horses without authorization. Since it's a scout, there are no fools, and this kind of thing can't be concealed, so it's better to let the big guys negotiate in person, and these little guys can drink some soup from afar, and it's enough to be a spectator, so that they can save time and get a person inside and out.

Shi Bin knew that the two groups of scouts who went back before would not leak secrets, so he was not in a hurry, and he would not and did not dare to lead hundreds of strong military horses from the gate of the camp to enter with such a swagger.

So he bypassed the main camp at night, entered his own camp through the side gate, and asked Zhao Gang to disperse and arrange the more than 600 military horses he brought back. Since fifteen hundred soldiers came, a total of forty tents were set up, which made it convenient to hide the horses. Although in the end, there were still more than 100 military horses that had nowhere to place, but the reaction that these 600 horses might cause was much less jealousy, not to mention that before leaving, Shi Bin said that he would not rob the merits of the war, as long as the merits of the reconnaissance and cavalry.

However, these more than 100 good horses still make the generals who have suffered a lot of losses in the cavalry of the Yuan army all year round salivate, all of them are like hungry wolves seeing fat meat, they all want to swallow it in one bite, but only the last trace of reason restrained this behavior. Shi Bin and Wang San's humility and promise made the originally somewhat unhappy atmosphere harmonious again.

"Wang San, come with me to Lord Yu's handsome tent." It is estimated that he thought of something important from the reactions of the generals who had just left in front of him, and he didn't care about getting tired, so he stood up and said a word to Wang San, and then walked out of the gate on his own and walked in the direction of Yu Jue's handsome tent.

Walking to Yu Jue's tent, Shi Bin also said loudly to Yu Jue's guards in a fake manner: "Please tell Lord Yu, Shi Bin, the governor of Tanzhou, came to ask for guilt!" ”

He has been following Yu Yu all the year round and has long been sharp-eyed, knowing that Shi Bin is acting, and the generals who have just left said that Shi Bin has gained a lot from this attack, and they have to find a way to deduct a penny, otherwise they will be difficult to calm down.

Fortunately, he has followed Yu Yu for many years, and there are countless examples of this kind of design and robbery in the officialdom, and they are not surprised, the strange thing is that this Shi Bin is clearly a hero, and the background is also hard, but now he comes to ask for guilt, which is really surprising and incomprehensible, but it is certain that he is very good at self-preservation and difficult to deal with.

"Please come in, Lord Shi." A deep voice came from inside the tent.

Followed the guard into Yu Jue's tent, this was the second time he had entered, and the previous time he was worried and didn't pay attention. This time, when I walked, I saw that the two rows were sandalwood seats and coffee tables, and there were no gold, silver and gems inlaid on them except for the beautiful carvings, and there was not much worldly frivolity, which made people feel the heaviness of this handsome.

"Hello, Lord Shi." There was a peaceful sound in my ears, much more comfortable than the last time I heard it.

Looking up at Yu Jue on the main seat, there was no picture of the tiger descending the mountain, but a picture of eight horses. Look at Yu Jue again, this old man really feels like a private school gentleman today, without a trace of murderous aura.

Of course, Shi Bin didn't just care about appreciating the etiquette, and immediately returned the salute, "The lower officials see the adults, and the adults are good." ”

"Lord Shi is really a genius, originally Lu Wende praised Lord Shi in front of me, the official thought he was just drunk and nonsense, but I didn't expect Lord Shi to be a veritable 'black spear leader', no wonder the Yuan people are so afraid of you. It's just that there is something unclear about this official, and three generals have come to report to me before you, saying that Lord Shi has gained a lot from this battle, why did he shout 'please sin' in the account? Saying this, Yu Jue stopped talking, and there was a fine light in his eyes, but there was no murderous aura.

Seeing this situation, Shi Bin knew that he couldn't hide, not to mention that he didn't plan to hide, since Yu Jue asked so tactfully, it can be seen that he didn't want to delve into this matter, and it was estimated that he would just get to the bottom of it.

I remember that Yu Jue was not born noble, and he climbed up step by step, and he probably did a lot of similar things, thinking about these clearly, Shi Bin was determined and decided to take a small risk - confess and be lenient.

"Lord Yu, of course the lower officials are guilty, although the crime is not to death, but it is also guilty." Shi Bin was straight, as if he didn't agree with Yu Jue's evaluation, and replied very firmly and solemnly.

has been in officialdom for a long time, how can he be fooled by Shi Bin's little trick? Yu Jue did not express his position immediately, and also played Tai Chi, emphasizing that he would not say the crime now, but just said that Shi Bin went north to spy on intelligence and so on.

This is like a punch to the cotton, so that Shi Bin stumbled, and then to emphasize that he is guilty will be hypocritical, if you dare to take Yu Ji's words seriously, once Yu Yu really cares, he Shi Bin will definitely suffer a lot, and now he is in a bit of a dilemma.

I had to respond to Yu Jue's words blankly, he should do whatever he said, and the taste of walking on thin ice was really uncomfortable.

In the end, it is not Wang San, a little Taoist boy who has not yet graduated from the school is not counted, and Shi Bin can no longer bear it in less than a stick of incense, so he has to hold his head high and say loudly: "My lord, this time the lower official has robbed a lot of military horses from the north, there are more than 600 horses. Because the tent of the lower official camp was not enough, only 450 horses were hidden, and 50 horses were intended to be presented to adults. However, the subordinate officer of the military intelligence thought that he had done a fairly good job, and he had the cheekiness to ask the adults for forgiveness. ”

I thought that Shi Bin would rely on Jia Rudao, a backer, to play hob meat and play scoundrels, but he didn't expect to say it all without concealing it. Yu Jue's face was puzzled at this time, and he looked at Shi Bin as if he had seen a mentally retarded person, this is a strange officialdom.

Of course, I know that Yu Jue won't believe it, it's not that he doesn't believe his own words, but he won't believe that he will say this, after all, such behavior is too unreasonable, and shaking out the family without the slightest concealment is not something a wise man would do, after all, the word 'hidden' is too sensitive and indecent.

But Shi Bin had to do it, because he wanted to keep a place in Yu Yu's army for a long time, even if it was a guest general, the key was to think of him if there was a battle. If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give up, how can you make Yu Jue believe in him without showing sincerity? Even if he is sincere, he will not believe it.

This time it was Yu Jue's turn to be stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he spoke: "Lord Shi, this official knows that you are really anti-Yuan, but it is really difficult to make sense of resisting the law in this way, if you get information, you will get information, you are not only here to obtain information, but also to lead troops to loot, and your hand is a little long, you make it difficult for this official." ”

Although I know that Yu Jue's official reputation is good, but in this army, especially in the Song army, the most precious thing is the Yuan army's horses, and Yu Jue is the commander of the three armies.

"Lord Yu, Xia Guan understands that this time you really shouldn't be greedy for a horse. But the lower officials also have ideas, how about listening to them? ”

Since he didn't plan to delve into it, Shi Bin promised him fifty more military horses, and Yu Yu would naturally let Shi Bin make it clear, "Say it, Lord Shi." However, please be concise and to the point, don't say too much, I don't have much time for this official. ”

This kind of feudal official who has a lot of opportunities naturally doesn't have much time, so Shi Bin naturally wants to be interested, and immediately said: "Xia Guan originally planned to divide the troops into fifty groups and disperse in three directions of Guangyuan, Bazhong, and Dazhou in a group of ten people after leaving the camp, and stipulated that the farthest away would be Hanzhong. ”

After saying this, Shi Bin paused, and pretended to swallow saliva, but actually looked at Yu Jue's face, saw that his face was calm, and continued: "As a result, outside Bazhong City, I learned that there were only two hundred yuan defenders in the city, and most of the horses were kept in captivity outside the city, so naturally the lower officials had the idea of seizing horses. The Yuan people have always relied on horses to fight the world, if they lose their horses, where is the opponent of my Great Song Dynasty official army with those rabble who don't know the array? Therefore, the lower official took the order to take their horses without authorization, and this time the lower official pleaded not guilty. However, the Dazhou battle was indeed guilty, and it was a big crime for the lower officials to put the brigade in danger. If you really lose these elites, you will have sucked the blood of your troops, and you will not be able to redeem your death. ”

Although this is said with a bit of acting elements, it is also Shi Bin's truth, but it is just a little sensational, which can be regarded as adding insurance to himself.

"And what do you think I'm going to do with your violation of military discipline? Is it a merit offset or a separate punishment? ”

With this sentence, Shi Bin was completely relieved, even if he chose to offset the merits and demerits, and secretly said that he was willing to give Yu Yu eighty military horses, if he still wanted to go to him to buy them, he would sell them at half price, as long as three hundred stone grain and rice.

Yu Jue, who got this promise, immediately smiled, saying that he did not pursue Shi Bin's fault, and believed that Shi Bin was not only faultless but also meritorious.

"Lord Yu, I know that the superior is difficult, you and I are not eating alone, the lower officials are going to give you ten military horses for each general, I don't know what you mean?"

It is a little difficult for Yu Yu to talk about helping his subordinates ask for benefits, but now that Shi Bin has taken the initiative to open his mouth, it can be regarded as a relief for him, Yu Ji naturally admires Shi Bin even more, and made it clear that he will not forget Shi Bin if he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future.

Although I know that this is mostly kind words, but with this attitude, coupled with Yu Jue's identity and character, at least it can ensure that he will no longer reject himself, if he can behave better, maybe he can really climb his big tree to make meritorious contributions, this is what makes Shi Bin the happiest part.

The next thing is to refer to the military intelligence brought back by Shi Bin to specify the next attack plan, in order to make the atmosphere harmonious, Shi Bin immediately released the news that each general will get ten military horses for free and can buy military horses from him, which makes the council room even more harmonious, and everyone and Shi Bin are not like competitors at this time but more like old friends for many years.
