Chapter 701: Accident at the address

Now that the Duan, Gao, Dong, and Yang clans have all surrendered, there will be no major problems in Dali. Shi Bin breathed a sigh of relief because of this, and the next thing to do was to wait for Gao Zhixing, the lobbyist, to report on the results he had obtained.

"My lord, I think maybe you need to do something." Xu Feng said when he saw Shi Bin sitting in the handsome tent leisurely drinking West Lake Longjing, obviously a little slack.

"Oh? Something else? Not upset because Xu Feng interrupted him to taste tea, Shi Bin smiled: "Tell me, Xu Feng." Now that the Duan, Gao, Dong, and Yang clans have all surrendered, what else is there to do? ”

"Your Excellency should probably also send people from the Duan Xing, Dong family, and Yang family to be lobbyists to see how many people they can convince to show their loyalty. It can not only be used to see how much influence these three families have in Dali, but also to make these four clans wary of each other and not be embarrassed. Xu Feng said very solemnly.

After such a reminder, Shi Bin immediately realized that he was indeed negligent, so he immediately sent people to ask people from Duan Xing, the Dong family, and the Yang family to also be lobbyists, and ordered them to persuade other tribes to come to take refuge, and the time given was half a month.

Soon Gao Zhixing came with nearly twenty tribal leaders or their representatives to show his loyalty, and after Shi Bin made his request, in order to appease them, each tribe promised a viscount.

Not long after, Duan Xing led nearly thirty tribal leaders or their representatives to show their loyalty, although the Dong family and the Yang family were few, but there were also fifteen. In order not to appear favoritism and unnecessary contradictions, after everyone showed their loyalty to him, Shi Bin also promised each tribe a viscount.

Seeing that the Duan clan brought the most people, Shi Bin couldn't help but sigh secretly: Sure enough, the Duan clan is still the orthodoxy of Dali, and they still have the most supporters after taking refuge for many years.

Now that Dali has been completely taken under its banner, it is basically in his own hands, so Shi Bin plans to lead the army back to Lin'an. It was easy to go back to the division all the way, but when he arrived at Chengdu Mansion for repairs, there was a sudden change, and Shi Bin suddenly became nervous, and the reason was very simple - to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Bin was furious because it reminded him of the ninth year of Xining (1076) of Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Li Changjie, the general of the address, led more than 100,000 troops to invade the three prefectures of Pa, Qin and Lian, not only killing all the soldiers of the Song army, but also brutally killing nearly 100,000 innocent people.

"Xu Feng, change the route, and send an order to Xie Qiangbing, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, and Li Chao, the commander-in-chief of Jinghu, and ask them to each lead 20,000 elites to come to me, and go with me to level the address!"

Seeing that Shi Bin was so angry, Xu Feng knew that the big thing was not good, but he didn't dare to dissuade him directly, so he had to choose a compromise method, and promised to send someone to give the order, but he just waited there and did not give the order.

People have no patience when they are angry, and soon they become impatient, Shi Bin saw that Xu Feng had not come back for a long time to report, so he planned to go to the order in person, and then find Xu Feng to settle accounts after giving the order.

Who knew that as soon as he came out of the tent, he saw Xu Feng standing there, but what made Shi Bin feel strange was that Xu Feng didn't seem to be afraid or ashamed at this time, but was faintly arrogant.

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Bin rushed over and gave Xu Feng a hard punch and scolded, "Do you want to disobey my military orders?" ”

"Of course not, sir. The humble position is to ask the adults to calm down a little, and it is absolutely correct to raise troops to ask for the address, but please don't bring so many elites, and don't be honest! ”

"Do you know why I want so many elites? As for the truth, who in the DPRK and China now dares to chew the root of the tongue? Shi Bin asked very domineeringly.

"My lord, I just don't want my lord to spend the elite he has worked so hard to on a group of barbarians, and it is enough for those people to let the forbidden army deal with them. And the adults only need to bring a little elite pressure array. Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and ask the adults to make a good appearance, please order the transfer of troops. Xu Feng still said very resolutely.

"Okay, please transfer troops, I will listen to your Xu Feng. However, I will still ask Xie Qiangbing to bring 20,000 elites over, and Li Chao will bring 30,000 forbidden troops. I will use these more than 70,000 troops to destroy the country to prevent future troubles! ”

As soon as Shi Bin's words came out, Xu Feng was immediately shocked, and he understood why Shi Bin wanted so many elites to accompany him.

Since ancient times, the handover address has been the territory of the Han people, because the Song court was weak and could not be effectively controlled, and finally let it become independent. If they have the ability, they will naturally want to take it back. Now that Shi Bin has this strength, and the address is so arrogant, how can he not take the opportunity to recover it?

"Shuai, you are guilty of despicability, take back what you just said. In favor of the two adults, Xie Qiangbing and Li Chao each brought 20,000 elites to come, and it was best for them to bring 40,000 forbidden troops. It takes 100,000 troops to be sure. After all, the address is not as good as Dali, and the people at the address are not easy to surrender. Xu Feng said.

Seeing that Xu Feng's attitude had changed greatly, Shi Bin smiled and said, "It seems that you still agree with me to destroy the address." ”

"I have never objected to anything that adults do, but I just ask adults to think carefully about how to do things. Fortunately, adults are willing to be good, and they dare to speak to admonish. If the adult refuses to change, the lowly will still act according to the adult's instructions. Xu Feng said with a smile.

"You can talk, but I trust you." Shi Bin said with a smile, "You can send three six-hundred-mile expedited now." One for the emperor, one for Xie Qiangbing, and one for Li Chao. Let Xie Qiangbing and Li Chao prepare the army and food baggage. As soon as the decree comes, they will lead their army to make peace with us. ”

The news of the invasion had already reached Lin'an half a month before Shi Bin's request for the transfer of troops arrived. All the officials in the court were panicked, because they found that no one in the military attache of the court was willing to lead the troops to resist the handover, and they were all wastes who were greedy for life and afraid of death. After thinking about it, I found that almost all of the people who were capable and willing to fight were Shi Bin's subordinates or people who had close relationships with him.

The military situation was urgent, and Duzong, who was mentally handicapped, could only choose to send Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi to Guangnan West Road for reinforcements. Although they still have a close relationship with Shi Bin, they are not considered to be a stone system, so they let Du Zong feel a little relieved. However, before the army could be mobilized, it received Shi Bin's request to transfer troops, which caused some disputes between the DPRK and China.

Some people think that Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi are enough to resist the handover army, and Shi Bin should be allowed to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation; Some people think that Shi Bin should personally lead the army to attack the address, so that they can know the strength of the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers; Some people even believe that this opportunity should be taken to destroy the country of delivery and regain control of the address. Unexpectedly, no one said bad things about Shi Bin this time, and they didn't say that he planned to do misdeeds in the name of commanding the army.

Although there was a fierce dispute, in the end, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi took the initiative to resign from the position of leading the army and gave it to Shi Bin. Shi Bin, who learned of this, was very grateful, so he reciprocated by sponsoring the two to lead 40,000 forbidden troops to meet him. And Xie Qiangbing and Li Chao only need to bring 20,000 elites each.

Following Shi Bin to fight, it can basically be said that he is going to receive credit, and Wang Jianhe asked Shibi for it, of course, he immediately agreed. Most of the DPRK and China are 'stone types', so they naturally fully support it. Soon the two left Lin'an with 40,000 forbidden troops.

Not long after, Shi Bin met with Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, and Xiang Shibi in Yongzhou (Nanning). When the four of them saw Shi Bin, who was frowning and his face was like black iron, he said that something was wrong. They all shouted for warmth, just afraid that they would be mad in front of them.

"You're very laid-back..." Shi Bin sneered.

Laid back? Shi Bin's words made Li Chao and the four of them feel very aggrieved. Since receiving Shi Bin's order, they have been preparing for the battle with all their might, and they have not stopped for a moment, and they dare not delay for a moment. Even the rush is non-stop, and there is not much rest at all, how can this be called leisurely?

Li Chao and Xie Qiangbing have followed Shi Bin all the year round and know his temperament, so they don't defend themselves. Wang Sanlao Cheng is very old and does not defend himself. Only Xiang Shibi, a person with a strong temperament and not Shi Bin's family, kept protesting and defending himself.

Originally, I just wanted to scold a few words to express some unhappiness and be angry. Now there are still people who dare to block the air, is it unbearable! Therefore, Shi Bin said to the angry Xiang Shibi: "Xiang Shibi, what do you mean? I sent it to the fold twenty days ago, and you have only come with the army now, and you are so procrastinating, shouldn't you be scolded? ”

"Marshal, of course, such a major matter as sending troops must be carefully discussed before a decision can be made! The next official can arrive in 20 days, which is already non-stop. Xiang Shibi said unconvinced.

"How can this be reasonable, who dares to object to the transfer of troops I sent? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? Shi Bin shouted.

"Marshal, no one in the court objected to the transfer of troops, but it was delayed for a few days because of a little dispute, so it was a lot slower."

"Say! I want to see which blind person dares to make an obstacle out of it, ignoring the life and death of the people and fighting for power and profit on the sidelines! ”

"My lord, the few adults in the court are not fighting for power and profit, but they are just thinking about whether to ask the marshal to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, or ask the marshal to personally lead the troops to levy and hand over the address. Then it is to discuss whether this battle is to defeat the soldiers and horses of the address, or simply use this to destroy the country and re-incorporate it into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty. And there is another very embarrassing thing, that is, most of the military attaches of the DPRK and China do not want to lead the army to fight..." Xiang Shibi explained with a bitter face.

I thought things would be very simple, but I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in the middle. Shi Bin first felt that the ministers of the DPRK and China did not completely listen to him, and secondly, he felt that the situation was a little embarrassing, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.

Of course, you can't just give in, Shi Bin continued: "The military attache actually doesn't want to lead troops to kill the enemy? What kind of rice bucket is this? It's a shame, and I'll have to settle accounts with them when I'm done asking for the address! Xiang Shibi, there is some truth in your words, but the imperial court should never drag on and not send troops, even if there are no generals willing to lead troops to attack, you can't let the emperor allow me to have the right to transfer troops cheaply? ”

Knowing that this was the mistake of the Song court, Xiang Shibi could only say: "Dashuai, this is the fault of the imperial court, but there is nothing to be done about the humble position." We, the generals, are afraid of the calamity that comes out of our mouths. ”

Looking at Xiang Shibi in disappointment, Shi Bin shook his head. At this time, Xu Feng quietly stepped aside and said: "Dashuai, the fault is not with the adults, but with those civil officials who can only dance and write." They are not as bold as the two adults, Li Chao and Xie Qiangbing. Besides, they didn't arrive early. ”

Realizing that he shouldn't grab Xiang Shibi and reprimand him alone, Shi Bin had no choice but to speak: "Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, you have followed me for many years, and you have not arrived a day earlier than Lord Xiang and Lord Wang, which is really a big disappointment to me!" I think you're going to be a rice bucket too! ”

When Li Chao and Xie Qiangbing were about to plead guilty, Shi Bin waved his hand irritably and said, "Get out, get out of the handsome tent for me!" Don't be an eyesore here! ”
