Chapter 620: The Nasty Wu Qian

This battle was fought from the beginning of the first year of Kaiqing (1259) to the end of the year, and almost everyone was exhausted, and now the East Hebei Road has been completely recovered, and everyone has the idea of a temporary truce.

Although Shi Bin didn't want a truce and wanted to drive the Yuan people back to Mobei in one go, it was a pity that he knew that this was just a beautiful dream, and he was far from having this ability now. So I had to think about how to defend the newly acquired Hebei East Road.

In order to reduce the threat of the Yuanren iron cavalry on the Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei roads at the same time, the best way to reduce losses is to unify the command of the four regions to jointly resist the enemy, and it is necessary to form a unified strategic thinking, otherwise it will be easy to be defeated by each one. Even if the city is not recaptured by the Yuanren, it will suffer heavy losses.

After thinking about it, Shi Bin ordered Wang Lixin, Sai Zilong, Wang San and Cheng Yuanfeng to come to the Daimyo Mansion to see him.

Sai Zilong and Wang San are Shi Bin's hardcore supporters, of course they rushed to the order after receiving the order, Cheng Yuanfeng didn't have to worry about it in the Daimyo's Mansion, only Wang Lixin was not so active, Shi Bin sent someone to notify him twice before leaving.

Although it dragged on, it was good to get to the Daimyo's Mansion to meet everyone. understood that Wang Lixin was a little unhappy that he only called Cheng Yuanfeng but not him, so Shi Bin did not blame him, and still communicated very kindly.

Seeing that there were not only Cheng Yuanfeng but also Wang San and Sai Zilong in the Daimyo's Mansion, Wang Lixin felt very strange. He and the three of them governed the entire northern territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and were at the forefront of the war with the Yuan people. The four of them have now been called to the Daimyo Mansion by Shi Bin, and in Wang Lixin's opinion, it must have something to do with the battle against Yuan.

However, after walking around the camp twice, Wang Lixin was pulled into the handsome tent by Shi Bin, and Wang San, Sai Zilong and Cheng Yuanfeng sat together.

"Everyone, are you all a little surprised to see each other in the Daimyo's Mansion?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"That's true, I don't know why the marshal called us here?" Sai Zilong is Shi Bin's brother-in-law and the head of the secret service, and he is the least afraid of things, so he was the first to ask.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I don't want you to send troops to attack the Mo Nan Yuan people from all over the place, nor do I want you to send elite troops from all over the place to attack the Mo Nan Yuan people, I just want to talk to you about how to deal with the Yuan people's counterattack." Shi Bin said with a smile, "I think you all know that this time my Great Song Dynasty has recovered another piece of land, so far, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have returned to our hands again, as long as they defend properly, they will no longer be afraid of the Yuanren Iron Cavalry." However, this also touched the bottom line of the Yuan people, so I estimate that Kublai Khan will immediately send troops to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun after dealing with the affairs of Ali Buge. ”

"Dashuai, Xiaguan thinks that there should be no problem with Hedong Road and my Hebei West Road, Lord Wang's Shaanxi Road may be difficult but it will be fine if you are careful, the most careful thing is Lord Cheng's Hebei East Road, which must be the place where the Yuan people attack the most." Wang San analyzed.

"That's true. Lord Wang is right. I, Cheng Yuanfeng, am very happy that Lord Shi will take on this important task for me, and I am confident that I can do a good job of appeasing me, I only hope that you will have more support at that time, so as not to let the Hebei East Road I just got lose again in my hands. Cheng Yuanfeng said with a smile.

Sure enough, let Cheng Yuanfeng be the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, Shi Bin is really good at picking people, and let Cheng Yuanfeng, a person who is not very close to the actual relationship on the surface, be the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, Wang Lixin thought secretly.

"Lord Wang is right, Ben Shuai also thinks that there will be no problems with Hedong Road and Hebei West Road, Lord Wang's Shaanxi Road is careful, and Lord Cheng's Hebei East Road must be cautious and always be vigilant." Shi Bin nodded and said, "What do you think is the best way to deal with it?" It's definitely not okay to fight on your own. ”

originally planned to say unified command, but Wang San was afraid that everyone would think that he wanted to seize power after saying it, so he didn't say it at first. Now Shi Bin said that he must not fight on his own, and Wang San also expressed his support, but still did not propose who should be the commander-in-chief, because

The most suitable person to be the commander-in-chief is him, Wang San.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think is the most suitable person to be the commander-in-chief?" Shi Bin asked.

Sai Zilong, Wang Lixin and Cheng Yuanfeng all looked at Wang San. There are three reasons: first, Wang San was originally an envoy along the river; Second, Wang San's military ability is very outstanding, and he is definitely a handsome talent who 'strategizes in the tent and wins thousands of miles away'. Third, Wang San is Shi Bin's descendant, and only he is the commander-in-chief Shi Bin can rest assured.

didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Shi Bin was naturally happy, and said that he would immediately report the matter to the emperor, asking him to issue a holy decree to grant the king the power to control the soldiers and horses of the four routes. But at the same time, he emphasized that Wang San was not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Yuanren territory, only he was allowed to take the initiative to defend, and once the Yuanren were repulsed, he would return to the army. And kindly told Sai Zilong, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin to fully support Wang San, and not let him dare not fight with the Yuan people because of the lack of food and grass.

The three of them were either Shi Bin's hardcore or the responsible Song Chen, so they agreed to Shi Bin's request without hesitation.

Just as the meeting was about to end, an inappropriate person appeared.

"Lord Wu, why are you here?" Shi Bin saw that it was Wu Qian, and immediately said enthusiastically.

"Wu heard on Jingdong East Road that Shi Dashuai led his troops to recover Hebei East Road, and he was going to send military rations over, so I simply put down my work and came over to have a look. But Lord Shi, why do you still have Lord Cheng, Lord Wang, Lord Wang and Master Sai? Shouldn't they all be on Shaanxi Road, Hebei West Road, and Hedong Road? Wu Qian asked very suspiciously.

"Like you, Lord Wu, we all learned that Shi Dashuai had recovered the East Hebei Road and was going to transport military rations, so we simply came over to take a look." Wang San reacted and said immediately.

"I see." Wu Qian said in a strange manner, "But this is too coincidental, the four adults actually appeared in Shi Dashuai's handsome tent at the same time, which is really unbelievable." I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence that even a party and a banquet are there, right? ”

"Wu Qian! What do you mean? Sai Zilong asked viciously.

"What do I mean? I'm going to ask you what you mean! Why did they get together just after recovering Hebei East Road, what are they discussing? ”

"Naturally, it's about discussing how to prevent the Yuan people from counterattacking!" Shi Bin roared angrily, "Kublai Khan's civil war with Ali Buge will not be long before it will end with Ali Buge's defeat. Now that the sixteen states of Yanyun have been recovered, this is the reverse scale of the Yuan people, and it is also the seven inches of my Great Song Dynasty. If you don't hurry up and discuss how to resist the Yuan people, wouldn't it be possible that the sixteen states of Yanyun, which were finally recovered, would be lost again in the blink of an eye? ”

Such a sufficient reason temporarily blocked Wu Qian's mouth, but it obviously did not dispel his suspicions. It's just that it is very inappropriate to stay in Shi Bin's handsome tent any longer, so Wu Qian had to turn around and leave indignantly.

"Everyone, now that Wu Qian's trouble is coming, please unify your voice with me, don't let him know what we are talking about, the key is not to let him know that we have discussed the matter of letting Wang San serve as the commander-in-chief." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Of course, Wang San, Sai Zilong and Cheng Yuanfeng immediately expressed their support, as long as Wang Lixin was a little hesitant, and finally saw that Wang San and several others expressed their support for him.

After paying a little attention, Wu Qian found that he almost didn't know all the generals of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and even those who knew him didn't dare to talk to him more. If things are abnormal, there must be demons, the forbidden army in front of the palace used to walk sideways, but now it is so cowardly, which makes Wu Qian very confused and uneasy, so he secretly understands it.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, but after knowing an hour, Wu Qian knows that Shi Bin is now the commander of the front of the palace, the commander of the guards and the infantry army, and the commander of the guards and the horse army, which means that Shi Bin has mastered all the emperor's guards, and the emperor is already under his control.

Knowing this, Wu Qian was furious, ran to the emperor's tent for verification, and planned to ask for the deposition of Shi Bin from all official titles. How could it be that Li Zong was a soft bone, no matter what Wu Qian said, he would not give an order

As long as things are calm.

Since the emperor had no choice, Wu Qian had no choice but to go to Shi Bin's handsome tent again, planning to use the righteousness of his master to persuade Shi Bin, so that he would automatically give up the high-ranking official Houlu and no longer 'cause trouble'.

had long expected that Wu Qian would go and return soon, so Shi Bin did not leave the tent, and also reduced the stool to one, just waiting for him to come back.

As soon as he entered the tent, Wu Qian saw this, and he smiled: "It seems that Shi Dashuai knows that I will come back, and even the stool has been prepared for me." It's so powerful, no wonder it's invincible. ”

"Lord Wu has a good reputation, may I ask why Lord Wu is here?"

"Why should the handsome pretend to be confused? You've got all the stools ready for me, don't you know why I'm here? ”

"I really don't know, after all, there are too many things."

"Well, it's because you're the supreme commander of the Sanya at the same time." Wu Qian said, "Sanya is too important, and this kind of power is probably not suitable for gathering in the hands of one person." What's more, the marshal is also the prime minister and privy envoy. ”

"Lord Wu, this is the emperor's intention, not my intention, not to mention the power of the three yas, why not gather the power of the three yas in my hands? This is more suitable for command, more suitable for destroying the rebellion. ”

You are the biggest rebellion! Wu Qianqian sneered. It's just that he didn't dare to say it explicitly, so he had to say, "Shi Dashuai, are you too tired to hold five important positions at the same time?" The handsome man is the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, and I can't exhaust my body. What's more, we also need to give others some opportunities so that other officials can be promoted. ”

"Lord Wu is reasonable, but there is no way, and now there are too few capable officials in my Great Song Dynasty. Lord Wu, you are over sixty years old, and Lord Zhao Kui is over seventy years old, you are all working hard for the country and are not afraid of exhausting your body, how can I escape the pressure and covet comfort when I am in the prime of life? If I do that, will I not be a beast and will be reviled by the world? Shi Bin said very 'excitedly'.

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin actually said that he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to serve the country wholeheartedly, which made Wu Qian so angry that he couldn't speak, so he could only point at Shi Bin angrily. After a long time, he said, 'I will defeat you thief!' ’

How can you make Wu Qian collapse himself? Shi Bin didn't discuss with Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, and went directly to Li Zong's to ask for a holy decree that demoted Wu Qian to Hengshan County, and Liu Xiao also received Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road to pacify the envoy.

The reason for this is because Hengshan County belongs to Tanzhou and is Shi Bin's lair, and Wu Qian went there to enter the cage and never be able to make waves again. Liu Xiao can manage Jingdong and Jingdong better for Shi Bin.

After receiving the holy decree, Wu Qian was naturally angry, but he was helpless. He didn't have the courage to disobey the holy decree like Shi Bin, and he didn't want to give Shi Bin an excuse to completely overthrow him because of disobeying the holy decree. Therefore, in the end, I had to take the holy decree and go to Hengshan.

It's just that before leaving, Wu Qian still didn't forget to add some blockages to Shi Bin, and went to the emperor's camp to repeatedly persuade the emperor to find a way to bring down Shi Bin, and said that he was willing to contact the anti-Shi forces in the local area to help the emperor bring down Shi Bin.

For Shi Bin, Li Zong gritted his teeth and hated it. Now that Wu Qian was willing to do this, of course he was very happy, and immediately wrote an edict to Wu Qian, allowing him to contact the soldiers and horses in the local area to choose the right time to attack Shi Bin.

Although this thing was done quite cautiously, it still did not escape Shi Bin's eyes, and Wu Qian was robbed before he left the camp.

"Master Wu, why are you in such a hurry to leave, do you want to stop coming to the tent to sit?"

"Thank you, Shi Dashuai. I still have to go to Jingdong East Road as soon as possible to hand over the work with Lord Liu Xiao, and then go to Hengshan to be my little county commander. ”

"I'm afraid it's not all about being a county order, there should be a mess of soldiers and horses ready to defeat me, right?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin actually knew this, and he didn't have to worry about the lack of firewood to burn, Wu Qian had to hand over the emperor's edict in order to save his life, and he planned not to try to bring down Shi Bin.
