Chapter 175: The thief shouts to catch the thief
It was a great success that the horse was not discovered by the soldiers in the city, and the key was that except for two of his men who were slightly injured, the rest were all unscathed, which made the morale of this improvised cavalry reconnaissance force reach its peak.
It's just that at this time, there is a somewhat difficult problem: if you don't burn down the horse farm, you can at least earn yourself four hours of retreat time, but how to distribute these four hours? Is it possible to let the horses run wild from now on and go north again? Wouldn't that be the same as burning down a horse farm?
So Shi Bin spoke: "It's more appropriate for everyone to think about how to leave Bazhong, and it's best to leave quickly without knowing it." ”
"My lord, the villain thinks that we can not take the official road, there are a lot of trails in this hilly area, although it is not suitable for a large group of people, but our hundreds of horses are still fine, at this time, you can go out of Bazhong at the time of the sky light, to Guangyuan, Nanchong or Dazhou. And the post guards in Bazhong will not arrive earlier than us even if they take the official road, not to mention that there are not many local garrisons, they must be based on the city, and at most thirty or fifty horsemen will be sent out of the city to verify the situation, which does not pose a threat to us. Chen Qianyu said confidently.
"It's a bit too troublesome to walk like this, there are horses that don't ride to climb the mountain, and there is a saying called 'looking at the mountain and running a dead horse'. Even if the lights in the sky can go out of Bazhong, other states and counties are not alert, but our soldiers are really tired troops, and they don't have much combat effectiveness, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to even escape on horseback in front of those Yuan people who are good at salvos. As soon as Chen Qianyu's voice fell, Zhao Gang immediately denied Chen Qianyu's opinion.
It seems that it is very easy for these hundreds of horses to return to the division and disperse to attack, but it is really difficult to alarm the Yuan people early and keep their strength.
Is it really like this pretending to be a Yuan cavalry swaggering away? This is just a half-truth from Shi Bin, it is used for emergencies, and no one is willing to take such a risk unless it is absolutely necessary.
"My lord, can you please let the villain say a word?" Xu Feng, who was standing on the side, asked in a low voice.
"Say, now it's just discussing things, brainstorming, anyone can say, I don't have so many rules."
"Yes, the villain thinks that the adult, Commander Zhao and Chen Zhenqi are all thinking about it, we might as well ride back to the camp along the official road first, our camp is nearly ten miles away from Bazhong City, even if the horse is galloping, it is difficult to find it in the city. After riding for a few miles on this official road, we reached the place where the police post in Bazhong City might find out about us, and then dismounted and marched along the official road. Although this is troublesome, it saves time and is difficult to be discovered by the meta-people. ”
Shi Bin smiled after hearing this, this is indeed a good way, the Yuan people will retreat into the city at night, and there will not be a few people outside the city, even if it is a knife thing. The sound of horses' hooves will not spread so far, as long as you don't run so fast, it will only spread for three miles at most in this official road, and it will be even more difficult for the Yuan people in Bazhong to detect.
So Shi Bin immediately used Xu Feng's proposal and counted him as a credit. Looking at this ironclad military horse, Shi Bin was almost out of breath with laughter.
Zhao Gang didn't want Shi Bin to giggle like an upstart and lose face as Lord Zhizhou, although this wealth was indeed worth laughing at. But he still chose to give Shi Bin a twist under his ribs and woke Shi Bin up.
After waking up, Shi Bin immediately ordered: allocate twenty detective horses, one person and two horses, and report back to Yu Yu immediately after investigating the movements of the Yuan people in Bazhong and Guangyuan. And all the remaining saddles are mounted on the military horses, so that more people become cavalry, and if the saddle is not enough, there will be two horses and one person, and after they are matched, they will quickly set off for Dazhou.
Before the twenty detectives left, Shi Bin also took the group to the forest and told them, saying that they were willing to buy a horse from each of them for fifty taels of silver.
Of course, he knew that Song Ting valued horses a lot, and good horses were priceless, and if he lost his military horse, he had to suffer at least fifteen military sticks, and at least he had to lie in bed for more than twenty days or even a month, but the temptation of fifty taels of silver was too great, making it very difficult for these twenty people to make a decision.
There is not much time, Shi Bin is too lazy to grind, and said very simply: One price, eighty taels and one horses, if you are willing to sell, forget it, don't hesitate so much, like a girl!
This can make the eyes of those scouts who have not eaten all the year round shine, and they immediately promised to sell it absolutely, and even sell it for military merits, as long as Shi Bin is willing to buy it.
After receiving this reply, thinking that there were twenty more military horses, Shi Bin was of course happy in his heart. And told these scouts that after they go back, they will go to Jia Ling first to hand over, and she will settle accounts with them.
According to Xu Feng's method, he secretly returned to the camp and went out of the territory of Bazhong, the Yuan soldiers in Dazhou were really not alert, and there was not even a roadblock, even a few big cards were also guarded by the puppet army, and there were one or two bad horses tied to the side that were too old to move, and it was estimated that they would have to die as soon as they ran.
Today's Shi Bin actually can't run anymore, after all, after running for two days in a row, he is so tired that his bones are falling apart. And the horse only ate some grass, beans and corn, and these good ingredients were not eaten, even if they wanted to, they could not run.
I saw a small horse team in the distance, or the Yuan people's costumes, although some of them were not even complete horse harnesses that made people feel strange, but after all, they were 'Yuan people', and they couldn't afford to be provoked by their group of slaves who were puppet soldiers, so they could only serve well.
Chen Qianyu, a fake hundred households, wanted to ask, 'Who is the biggest traitor in this neighborhood', but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and he said: "Let me ask you, who is the most pro-Yuan family in this neighborhood?" ”
As soon as several puppet soldiers heard this, they immediately understood what these Yuan people were going to do, it turned out that they were going to eat a big family. Although these puppet soldiers are also traitors, they are very jealous of those rich traitors, and they can't wait for someone to eat them all and ask for food, so they are all very active in telling the big traitors in this neighborhood.
After carefully analyzing the terrain of Dazhou and the location of several big traitor manors, he decided to eat from west to east, and finally camped twenty miles west of Dazhou City.
The first big family ate very happily, and as soon as they saw Shi Bin's team of 'Yuan soldiers' coming from outside Zhuang, the big family surnamed Sun immediately opened the door and introduced several leaders into the house.
It is actually better to say that it is a small castle, which can definitely prevent the strong attack of less than 2,000 people, so Zhao Gang proposed to arrange the hundreds of yuan soldiers and puppet troops he brought into this manor for repair.
In order to get more benefits in the future, the big family naturally agreed, and secretly gave Zhao Gang and Chen Qianyu a big yellow croaker as filial piety.
This is very generous, even Zhao Gang was very surprised, although he knew that sooner or later he would have to hand it over to Shi Bin for great use, but he was a little smirked when he got it in his hand.
This night was full of wine and food, if it weren't for the big family being too timid and afraid, Shi Bin's group of Yuan soldiers of unknown origin would have been reported to the Yuan guards in Dazhou City.
However, in the early morning of the next day, more than ten authentic Yuan soldiers came from outside the village, which finally made the big family suspicious. Fortunately, Shi Bin and the others in the village had already washed up and were ready to go, and they found the gang of Yuan soldiers in time, so they were caught off guard without revealing their stuffing.
When the cavalry arrives at the resting place, the first thing to do is to feed the horses, and at most to say hello to the master. After all, horses were their biggest reliance, so Shi Bin was left enough time to move, and he immediately instructed Zhao Gang and Chen Qianyu to go to the big household to 'shout thief and catch thief'.
"Outside of Sun Yuan, have you seen those Yuan soldiers?" Zhao Gang frowned, and his eyes pointed at the authentic Yuan soldiers.
"See, Lord Baihe, may I ask you what you have to order? Is there something wrong with them? Seeing Zhao Gang like this, Sun Yuanwai's legs trembled, obviously seeing his killing intent.
"It was a group of Han scouts who came to listen to information disguised as Yuan people."
was suspicious of Zhao Gang's group, so naturally he didn't fully believe his words, so he didn't move for a long time, just stood there and looked down and thought.
"If you don't believe me, try them and see if they will ask questions like 'Is there a big group of people passing by?' and they will definitely ask in more detail." Zhao Gang said solemnly.
"So what? Brigades of cavalry often pass by, and usually spend the night with me, just like you. That Sun Yuan didn't have a coat, and answered Zhao Gang's words very truthfully.
Seeing that he didn't get on the trap, Zhao Gang was very impatient, and he was never polite to the traitor Zhao Gang, pretending to be an authentic Yuanren, so he kicked and scolded: "You idiot, don't you know that Yu Jie is gathering troops and horses in the south to go north?" This group of scouts knew the direction of my Dayuan cavalry's march, what do you say? That's leaking, it's collaborating with the enemy, and it's going to connect the nine clans! ”
Although Sun Yuanwai was very puzzled about why Chen Qianyu, a hundred households, had been standing there silently, he let Zhao Gang, a deputy hundred households, talk endlessly. However, as soon as Zhao Gang's big hats were pressed down, Sun Yuanwai had no doubts, and the first thing he wanted to do was to save his life. So without saying a word, he took his subordinates to test the 'Han spies'.
As Zhao Gang said, those soldiers not only asked if there was a large group of people and horses passing by, how many troops were there, and how many people were there; I also asked which direction I was going and how many hours I had been gone.
This is obviously to obtain information, Sun Yuanwai immediately believed Zhao Gang's words, but the dozen or so in front of him must be 'Han spies'.
Since he is a big traitor, he naturally still has something extraordinary, in order not to startle the snake, he said to prepare wine and good food to entertain the tired Yuan people.
No one doesn't love wine and food, and the Yuan people are even more addicted to alcohol, as soon as they heard that Sun Yuanwai was so sensible, they immediately lost the slightest guard, and only went to the restaurant to wait for the banquet to start.
Back in front of Zhao Gang and Chen Qianyu, Sun Yuanwai immediately flattered Zhao Gang for his fiery eyes, he will definitely be a great talent in the future, and Zhao Gang's vanity has been greatly satisfied, and at the same time, he and Chen Qianyu also lost goosebumps.
Just in case, Zhao Gang also asked Sun Yuanwai to close all the four gates of the manor, and the horses of more than a dozen Yuan soldiers were also led to other places, and even some medicine was put in the wine they drank, so that they were powerless to resist.
Seeing that a few Yuan people were in the trap, not only Shi Bin and others were happy, but even Sun Yuanwai was excited, because he wanted to press these 'Han spies' to go to the Yuan people to ask for rewards.
Of course, he will not let this big traitor ask for a reward, let alone leave a Yuan person alive, so Shi Bin and them will be killed on the spot, and they will not have a chance to say a word.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Sun Yuanwai was so frightened that he sat on the ground and trembled. If you say that these murderous guys in front of you are not Yuanren, he will not believe it if he is killed. took care of Zhao Gang and them more carefully, that is, Shi Bin's group of 'puppet soldiers' were all good wine and meat.
During the conversation with Sun Yuanwai, Chen Qianyu and Zhao Gang naturally obtained a lot of valuable information, which was much more useful than those obtained in the hands of ordinary people or puppet soldiers.
After being full of wine and food, the two immediately left with everyone, and by the way, they also extorted more than ten days of supplies and thousands of taels of silver, which can be regarded as another small fortune.
didn't swallow it alone, Shi Bin immediately said that the silver was divided into twenty taels each, and Chen Qianyu and Zhao Gang were fifty taels each, at this time, everyone admired her very much, not only swallowing it but also being so generous, those scouts on the Yu Yu side looked at Shi Bin's descendants with envy in their eyes.
