Chapter 650: Return to the Horse Gun

Shi Bin was very happy before drinking, but halfway through drinking, he couldn't be happy anymore for some reason. And he is not a person who likes to drink, in order not to disturb everyone's interest, so when Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Li Chao were drunk, Shi Bin sneaked out to breathe.

Sai Xishi used to be the leader of the female bandits, and naturally she could eat a lot of meat and drink wine, and she didn't care where Shi Bin went, only Jia Ling, a strictly educated official lady, noticed that Shi Bin was out of the handsome account, and she seemed to have some things on her mind, so she came out with her.

Just as he was about to think about why he couldn't be happy after a big victory, a soft voice came to his ear: "Why, can't you be happy?" ”

Such a sentence scared Shi Bin into a cold sweat, who called this as if he was talking like a ghost who could probe people's minds? Subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a very beautiful and dignified face full of smiles came into view.

"Xiaoling, why are you here?" Shi Bin smiled awkwardly and said.

"If you are allowed to come out, I will not be allowed to come out, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?" Jia Ling feigned anger.

Pointing at Jia Ling, he smiled helplessly: "You are really arrogant, why are you more unreasonable than us Jingnan people?" ”

"It was meant to be..."

"Okay, of course you can come out, I'm just concerned!" Shi Bin looked at Jia Ling and smiled bitterly and said, "How can you see that I'm not happy?" But I have to emphasize that I'm not upset, I'm just not happy. ”

"Understand, of course you're not unhappy, just unsustainably happy, right?"

I have to sigh that Jia Ling is really a roundworm in her stomach, and she can even think of the feeling of 'unsustainable happiness', Shi Bin nodded with a smile and gave her a thumbs up.

"I think there are a couple of things that make you unhappy unsustainably. The first is because of the high number of casualties. Both the Song and Yuan people are full of corpses, and with your character, you will definitely not be happy to see these corpses. The second is that he is worried that Kublai Khan will be able to bend and stretch down his lower body and cooperate with Ali Buge to have an accident. The third is that he is worried that Kublai Khan will lose his mind and find us to kill us in order to save face, and let Ali Buge benefit from the fisherman. ”

"That's true. But the first point doesn't have much impact on me, and the third point I'm not very worried, I don't think Kublai Khan will be so confused, what really worries me is the second point you said. Shi Bin smiled.

"Husband, your worries are very correct, the slave family thinks that Kublai Khan will definitely bow his head to Ali Buge for the time being, asking for cooperation. And Ali Buge's belief is not firm, if Kublai Khan is defeated too quickly, he is afraid that he will also be deeply disturbed, how can there be eggs under the nest? Jia Ling smiled, "So if Kublai Khan promised enough benefits, it is hard to guarantee that Brother Ali Buge will not stab us with a black knife." ”

"If so, what does Madame think should be done?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"It's simple, first, intensify the contradiction between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, and second, don't weaken Kublai Khan too quickly and make Ali Buge too uneasy."

After thinking about this, Shi Bin laughed again, and praised Jia Ling as a female Zhuge and the smartest woman in the world. After hearing two sentences, Jia Ling felt numb and worried, so she immediately stopped Shi Bin, and told her not to let Sai Xishi hear these words, so as not to make Sai Xishi jealous.

Of course, he didn't want Sai Xishi to be jealous, so Shi Bin shut up with kindness and returned to the handsome account with Jia Ling one after another. Who knew that as soon as he sat down, Sai Xi Shi came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and Shi Bin couldn't help but complain.

"What are you doing outside with Xiaoling? Is Lang in love with a concubine? ”

"Shih Tzu, you misunderstood. I won't pick this time, right? I'm afraid it's not a good time for Lang to be a concubine. Shi Bin said casually.

I didn't intend to delve into this issue, but I just asked a lie. Since he didn't come up with a satisfactory answer, Sai Xi Shi asked again: "What are you doing, you seem to have changed a little." ”

Another female Zhuge with a seven-trick exquisite heart, Shi Bin secretly sighed that his life was too bitter and almost had no **, and he was seen clearly. didn't bother to say much, just pointed at Jia Ling and motioned for Sai Xishi to ask Jia Ling.

Most of them were drinking, and when Sai Xishi heard that Shi Bin refused to do what she said, he immediately glared angrily. Shi Bin didn't want Sai Xishi to get drunk, in order to prevent accidents, he could only honestly tell everything he talked to Jia Ling. After listening to Shi Bin's words, Sai Xishi also agreed, but he kept burping. While Sai Xishi was happy, Shi Bin simply slipped back to the bed by taking a break.

The next day, Shi Bin ordered everyone not to fight, no matter how the Yuan people scolded the formation, they were only allowed to defend to the death, just because none of the senior generals had a clear mind.

Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Li Chao would never have the slightest doubt about Shi Bin's order, Xiang Shibi is an old turtle would definitely not agree to a general with an unclear mind leading his troops to fight, and he had only shed a lot of blood on the first day and needed to rest, so he supported Shi Bin's order not to fight. Only Wang Jian thought that he should take Yu Wei to attack the Yuan people and defeat the army.

After repeated consultations, Shi Bin and Wang Jian each took a step back and decided to fight in the afternoon, but the scale of the battle could not exceed 10,000 people, and once the scale was larger, they must stick to the big camp and never fight.

What is surprising is that Shi Bin's guards sent a message when Shi Bin and the others had just negotiated: Kublai Khan led his army to retreat last night, and the Yuan people only left an empty camp.

The Yuan people have all fled, and there is only an empty camp left! This situation made Shi Bin, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Li Chao and Xiang Shibi feel incredible, and Wang Jian was overjoyed and said that he must pursue with the great victory Yu Wei in order to annihilate Kublai Khan. even said that if Shi Bin did not give a military order, he would lead his soldiers to pursue him.

Although he is the commander, Shi Bin's order is logically that no one can disobey, and whoever dares to disobey will be severely punished by military law. But now the situation is a bit special, Wang Jian is not only a colleague and comrade-in-arms, but also a deputy marshal, and his qualifications in the army are also old, so he can't be punished easily.

Therefore, Shi Bin could only choose a soft way, so he said: "Lord Wang, Ben Shuai knows that you want to hit Kublai Khan hard, but Ben Shuai wants to tell you that you can't. ”

Wang Jian, who lacked political wisdom, didn't quite understand the mystery, but he didn't dare to doubt Shi Bin's attitude towards Yuan, so he had to wait for an answer.

"First, if Kublai Khan is really defeated, we must not take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on him, we can only choose to further weaken his strength, and we have to pull Ali Buge to do this together. You know, if Kublai Khan is destroyed too quickly, Ali Buge will feel very frightened, and maybe he will join forces with Kublai Khan against my Great Song Dynasty. Second, we don't know whether Kublai Khan's retreat was true or not, but what if there were heavy troops in ambush halfway? Shi Bin patiently explained.

These two very important reasons made Wang Jian calm down, and he no longer shouted to pursue with all his might, but still said that he would send some soldiers and horses to pursue, and the number should not be less than 15,000.

Shi Bin agreed with this suggestion very much, and immediately agreed, which could be regarded as a favor to Wang Jian, and immediately allocated 15,000 men to Wang Jian and ordered him to pursue Kublai Khan.

After Wang Jian led the army to leave, Li Chao said: "Dashuai, do you think Kublai Khan really retreated?" ”

"It's not." Shi Bin said with great certainty.

Sensing that Shi Bin's tone was very sure, Xiang Shibi immediately asked very sternly, "Isn't it?" Since it wasn't, why did the marshal still agree to Lord Wang leading his troops to chase after him? Isn't this a matter of carelessness for human life? ”

To Xiang Shibi's surprise, Shi Bin was not touched in the slightest after listening to his words, and still smiled, the key is that there is no conspiracy in it. It is obvious that he is a person who has everything in his hands, and that kind of self-confidence cannot be imitated and faked.

Under such circumstances, Xiang Shibi calmed his anger and asked in a soft tone, "May I ask why you didn't stop Lord Wang from pursuing Kublai Khan, but put him in danger?" ”

"Li Chao, you help me explain to the adults, just let me see how much you can understand my thoughts." did not answer Xiang Shibi's question directly, but said to Li Chao.

"Yes, Marshal." Li Chao smiled and said

Shi Bi said: "Lord Xiang, you may not know my eldest brother very well, but there are some things you still know, he never fights uncertain battles, let alone heard of him careless about human life." ”

"Yes."

"Kublai Khan is not an ordinary person, he wants us to take the initiative to enter his ambush circle, but he must be afraid that my eldest brother will come to attack from inside and outside, so he must have left a secret sentry near here. I'm afraid that Lord Wang Jian's troops will leave the camp for at least two hours before they leave. In order not to show his feet, it is naturally best not to tell Lord Wang Jian anything, as long as we rescue in time, we can achieve the goal of weakening Kublai Khan's strength again. ”

Seeing that Shi Bin gave Li Chao a praising look, Xiang Shibi knew that he had misunderstood Shi Bin and was short-sighted, so he had to give Shi Bin an apologetic look.

"Lord Xiang doesn't have to care, I am very surprised and happy that you can accuse me bluntly, I am very lucky to have a good subordinate like you. Knowing that you must still be a little worried in your heart, I order you to lead 10,000 elites to meet Lord Wang Jian in three hours. I will personally lead 5,000 cavalry to attack at any time. ”

Knowing that Wang Jian had his own support, and he would have the support of Shi Bin's cavalry, it was foolproof, and he expressed his gratitude to Shi Bin again and again.

"Lord Xiang doesn't have to be like this, but Ben Shuai also has to remind you that if Kublai Khan is defeated, you don't have to chase after Wang Jian. That would weaken Kublai Khan too much. If Wang Jian is defeated, you will take him back, and I will take care of the rest. Shi Bin said with a smile.

I completely understood the meaning of Shi Bin's arrangement of the 5,000 cavalry, which was to kill the horse pistol. Thinking so carefully and maturely, Xiang Shibi no longer had any doubts about Shi Bin, and even admired him.

As Shi Bin expected, although Wang Jian pursued Lu and sent no less than 20 groups of scouts, he was still ambushed by Kublai Khan. Fortunately, the Song army under his command was well-trained and elite, and there was still no rout, but while fighting and retreating, it was slowly unable to support it. When he was about to be defeated, the 10,000 horses led by Xiang Shibi responded in time to help Wang Jian stabilize his position.

Since the formation has been stabilized, and the Yuan people have come out, they naturally have to fight to vent their anger. When Wang Jian was about to take revenge, Xiang Shibi strongly stopped him and told Wang Jian everything. After thinking about it, Wang Jian had to choose to follow Shi Bin's order and pretend to be defeated.

Kublai Khan saw that the Song reinforcements had arrived, and he didn't plan to pursue, but he heard from his subordinates that the reinforcements were not strong, and Wang Jian was still losing and retreating after receiving support, but he was not so embarrassed. In the end, the temptation of profit and habitual thinking prevailed over rational thinking, and Kublai Khan ordered 10,000 light cavalry to pursue the Song soldiers.

The pursuing generals were really 'catching up', and the result was naturally very miserable, the retreat was cut off by Shi Bin's 5,000 cavalry, and the approach was blocked by 20,000 Song infantry, making it impossible to enter the ground and no way.

After covering up for a while, because he didn't want Kublai Khan to be weakened too much to confront Ali Buge, Shi Bin had no choice but to order an opening in the encirclement and let go of the remaining 4,000 people.

When he saw Shi Bin, Wang Jian looked ashamed and didn't dare to make a sound. This is naturally not too rude, and finally mustered up the courage to call 'Da Shuai', and his face was as red as pork liver.

Of course, he couldn't let a famous anti-Yuan general be so faceless, Shi Bin immediately ran over with three steps and two steps and said with a smile: "Why should Lord Wang be like this? If there were no adults, Kublai Khan would not have fallen for this plan. If you hadn't listened to Lord Xiang's words, the Yuan people wouldn't have been able to stand me this time, and achieve my goal of weakening Kublai Khan without weakening him too much. Therefore, the Lord of this battle is indispensable! ”

Such nonsense made everyone in the audience dumbfounded, but no one came out to correct Shi Bin, because everyone knew that Shi Bin was trying to win people's hearts.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi reacted at this side, and immediately echoed: "Dashuai is right, that's it." None of this would have been possible without the king. Then Li Chao and Xiang Shibi also coaxed...

Telling a lie 10,000 times has become the truth, not to mention that no one doesn't like to listen to praise, and slowly, Wang Jian accepted this set of reasons and laughed.
