Chapter 344: Folk Music and Singing

Wang Dechen, who was misunderstood by Kublai Khan, was very dissatisfied in his heart, and even hated Wuliang Hatai for ignoring the overall situation and abolishing the public for his own sake. At the same time, Wang Dechen also understood that if he wanted to regain Kublai Khan's trust and reuse, he must ensure the safety of the army's food and grass, and there must be no negligence. If there is any negligence, I am afraid it will not be a demotion, but because of the slanderous rumors of Uliang Hatai.

Therefore, Wang Dechen replaced all the soldiers guarding the grain and grass and escorting the grain and grass with his own lineage elite, and doubled the number, but all the amount of grain and grass exceeding 1,000 stone must be personally escorted by him.

This situation was not expected by Shi Bin and the others, they never expected that Wang Dechen would be so loyal to the Yuan people, and he would have to escort him in person if the grain and grass exceeded a thousand stones. Wang San shook his head helplessly, and Shi Bin scolded Wang Dechen for being a brute who forgot his ancestors.

However, everyone understood that shaking their heads and scolding were useless, so after venting, several people had to continue to discuss how to deal with Wang Dechen.

"Wang San, tell me what to do now?" Shi Bin said weakly.

"My lord is talking about dealing with Wang Dechen?"

"Against that bastard, of course! That brute! ”

"Do you want to spare his life and let him work for you, or do you simply want his life and don't want him to serve?" Wang San asked.

"Spare him his life? Do you want him to do it? Do you think I hope so? I can't wait to chop it into minced meat at this point! Shi Bin said viciously.

"My lord, killing Wang Dechen is very simple, an ambush with a bullet from Shi Bin's gun is enough. However, we also need to think about how we can kill him and make the strength of the Yuan people weaker. Can't because of Wang Dechen's death, the gap between them will be smaller. Wang San said very calmly.

"Killing him makes the Yuanren's strength weaker? What do you mean by this, Wang Dechen died, didn't the power of the Yuan people weaken a lot? What's more, how can the gap become smaller? Shi Bin asked puzzled.

"My lord, Wang Dechen's death is of course a big blow to the Yuan people, but even if he dies, Kublai Khan can still lead his subordinates, and those subordinates will not mutiny. So wouldn't it be better if there were other effects? Wang San said.

"This is naturally better, but how can there be other effects, is it the burning of the grain and grass of the Yuan people?" Shi Bin asked.

"This is naturally not, when killing Wang Dechen, you should be able to burn half of the Yuan people's grain and grass with some small calculations, and what the humble position said is that it is best to have other effects."

"Well, Lord Wang, your idea is not bad, so how do you do it? Let Wang Dechen and Wuliang Hatai continue to pinch? Shi Bin asked.

"My lord's opinion, this is what it means!"

After thinking carefully about what Wang San said before and after, Shi Bin understood one thing: no matter how much he hated Wang Dechen, he couldn't let him die so quickly.

"Then it must be Wang Dechen's repeated defeats, and Wuliang Hatai's repeated slander."

"Yes, sir. The meaning of humility is to constantly let Wang Dechen fail to transport grain, but it does not hurt his life, and it is best to let him not suffer many injuries. In this way, Wuliang Hatai no longer slandered and did not believe in his position, and Kublai Khan did not further suspect that Wang Dechen had two hearts. Wang Sanhe said affirmatively.

"Okay, then pass on my order: all the grain teams that are not escorted by Wang Dechen will be let go, and the grain teams escorted by Wang Dechen will be hijacked with all their might, but Wang Dechen must not be injured."

After the execution of this order, there was a very interesting phenomenon in the grain transportation team of the Yuan people, but whenever Wang Dechen appeared in the grain transportation team, he would inevitably be attacked, and many times the whole army was exhausted, and the grain and grass were also burned, but he himself only had a few minor injuries.

Although everyone knows that this is deliberately done by someone, it is a fact that Wang Dechen is not good at transporting grain, and Wuliang Hatai does not need to slander at this time, as long as he 'tells the truth', he can let Kublai Khan severely punish Wang Dechen.

Wang Dechen lost a total of 100,000 stone in transporting grain, but Kublai Khan, a man of great wisdom, did not listen to the slander of Wuliang Hatai, but demoted Wang Dechen by two levels to retain.

Shi Bin felt very dissatisfied when he saw this situation, and at the same time felt very tired, and sighed that Kublai Khan was too powerful, and Wang Dechen made such a big mistake and still kept him, not to mention that there was a very heavy bad guy on the side, Wuliang Hatai, who slandered all the time.

What to do? What to do? Shi Bin didn't want to let only Wang Dechen, the bastard, be suspected by Kublai Khan, but wanted Kublai Khan to kill him with his own hands.

Soon, Wang San and Xu Feng were both called into the Shuai tent by Shi Bin to discuss the matter.

"Now Wang Dechen has been demoted by Kublai Khan by two levels, but he still continues to transport grain, which shows that Kublai Khan still trusts him, and the punishment is just under pressure." Shi Bin said.

"What my lord said is extremely true, if it weren't for Wang Dechen's repeated defeats, I'm afraid he would still be the commander of this forward army." Xu Feng said.

"Kublai Khan is too powerful, we have to think of a way once and for all so that Wang Dechen can no longer pose a threat to us." Shi Bin said firmly.

"Your Excellency is right. The question is, where does the solution come from? He has lost 100,000 stones, grain and grass, and it is only two levels downgraded, even if he loses some more, it is estimated that it will not be a big deal. And now the Yuan people still have 600,000 stone grain and grass, and they are continuing to raise it, and it is estimated that they will not withdraw their troops because of the lack of grain and grass. Wang San said with a frown.

"My lord, although Kublai Khan is powerful, he is still suspicious, and the reason why Wang Dechen can still be trusted now is mostly because he has not touched Kublai Khan's bottom line. If Kublai Khan's bottom line is passed, I am afraid that Wang Dechen will also die. Xu Feng said.

The bottom line? Shi Bin was suddenly woken up by Xu Feng's words. Indeed, everyone has a bottom line, and if the bottom line is exceeded, no matter how good a friend is, he will become an enemy. So where is Kublai Khan's bottom line?

"My lord, I agree with what Xu Feng said, and I also think that as long as we let Wang Dechen pass Kublai Khan's bottom line, then he will definitely die without a place to be buried."

"Then how can you let him pass Kublai Khan's bottom line?" Shi Bin asked very eagerly and excitedly.

"My lord, the villain thinks that Kublai Khan's bottom line is not to allow his subordinates to betray." Xu Feng said with certainty.

Treachery? This is something that no commander-in-chief can tolerate. After hearing this, Shi Bin said: "Of course, Xu Feng, you can tell me how to make Wang Dechen betray Kublai Khan?" ”

"My lord, there is no way for a villain to make a person like Wang Dechen betray Kublai Khan, but there is a way to make Kublai Khan think that Wang Dechen is no longer reliable."

"Oh? Then you can talk about how to make Kublai Khan suspect Wang Dechen. Shi Bin said excitedly.

"My lord, the villain thinks that as long as Wang Dechen has no more heart to fight."

"No more war? Wang Dechen is a veteran on the battlefield, how can he have no fighting spirit? Shi Bin obviously didn't believe that Xu Feng's method could be realized, so he shook his head and said.

"Yes, the villain has a way to make Wang Dechen and his subordinates no longer have the heart to fight. This method is also what the villain just came up with. Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Speak quickly!"

"My lord, you have often scolded Wang Dechen for being a brute who has forgotten his ancestors. The subordinates thought otherwise, or not entirely. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Bin asked.

"The reason why Wang Dechen is so loyal to Yuan people should be that he wants to repay his kindness and forgets his roots. It's just that people will have a sense of shame, as long as we find a way to reawaken the feelings of him and his subordinates for the nation and the hatred of the Yuan people, everything will be easy. ”

"The words are so, but how to evoke? Shouting is definitely not good, it is too obvious, and it will be seen through at a glance. Shi Bin asked.

"The villain thinks it's best to use songs." Xu Feng said confidently.

At this time, Shi Bin completely understood that this was to use cultural methods to evoke the memory of the Jurchens and the memory of the slaves who died in the country.

"Good!" Shi Bin exclaimed, "Hurry up and find a few soldiers in the army who can sing Jurchen songs and play Jurchen folk music, and let them sing and play music outside Wang Dechen's camp day and night." ”

Wang San, who was listening on the side, also gave a thumbs up and praised the wind for being powerful, and he could think of such a high trick that he was only Shi Bin's chief of guard, and suggested to Shi Bin that he should be a staff member concurrently. Of course, Shi Bin gladly accepted this suggestion, and Xu Feng was even more happy, and greatly thanked Wang San and Shi Bin. Then he quickly went to carry out Shi Bin's order.

After ten days of repeated music and singing, the morale of Wang Dechen's military camp was low, including Wang Dechen himself. At breakfast on the eleventh day, an arrow was suddenly shot from outside the camp, and the letter was tied to it. Seeing this, the soldier immediately sent the letter to Wang Dechen and asked him to check it. The letter reads that two days later, at this time in the woods outside the camp, he met with Shi Bin.

Wang Dechen has seen a lot of this kind of trick, but there is no way to do it, because as long as his soldiers listen to national music and singing for one more day, their morale will be even more low, and maybe they may really collapse without a fight, so they can only go out of the camp to meet Shi Bin.

On the appointed day, Wang Dechen walked all the way out of the camp and saw no longer soldiers full of fighting spirit, but a group of homesick strong men.

After seeing Xu Feng standing in Shi Bin, Wang Dechen immediately understood that the 'Shi Bin' he saw in the temple before was fake, and the real Sichuan Commander Shi Bin was the one standing in front of him.

"Hello, Lord Wang." Shi Bin Shili said with a smile.

"Lord Shi, I'm very bad, you don't have to be so pretendious. Just say what you have to say. Wang Dechen said coldly.

"Lord Wang, you should know everything I think, why do you need me to say it again?"

"Yes, hehe. Wang admired Lord Shi's good methods, first two of his subordinates sacrificed their lives to see me, and repeatedly made me suspicious of Kublai Khan, and now he actually disturbs my army's morale with this folk music and singing, which is really powerful. ”

"Where, where. It's just a small skill of carving insects, didn't Kublai Khan still trust the general very much, and let the general continue to escort grain and grass? ”

"Lord Shi, Wang knows that he is a descendant of the Jurchens, and now it is not glorious for the Yuan people to invade the Song Dynasty in the south. However, the Dayuan royal family treats my Wang family well, and my brothers have grown up with all the princes since they were children. If you think I'm treacherous in this way, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Wang Dechen said with certainty.

"Hehe, of course it's a fantasy for an adult to betray the Yuan people in a few songs. But I don't know if adults have ever thought about one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Dechen asked cautiously.

"Adults are loyal and righteous people, but I'm afraid there are sinister villains among the people who travel with you, hehe." Shi Bin said with a meaningful smile.

Naturally understood who Shi Bin was referring to, although Wang Dechen was annoyed in his heart, he was helpless.

"Lord Wang, it's not that Shi is arrogant, I dare to assert that after today, Kublai Khan will definitely be on guard against you at all times, and then Wuliang Hatai will even slander in front of Kublai Khan, saying that you have bad intentions, and your future road is not good."

Wang Dechen looked at Shi Bin angrily, but for the sake of face, he said loudly: "I don't have to worry about Lord Shi in the future, you still have to worry about whether your Sichuan can be the iron hoof of Lord Kublai Khan!" After saying that, Wang Dechen turned around and left.
