Chapter 597: Leading the Army to King Qin (2)

This is the top secret, naturally only Shi Bin, Wang San, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng in the house can know, and there must be no omission for Song Ting to see, so even if the decision is made, Shi Bin did not withdraw immediately. Because he felt that it was a little inappropriate to withdraw his troops so quickly, it was not in line with his usual style of doing things, and it would arouse Song Ting's suspicions.

Seeing that Shi Bin had already said that he wanted to withdraw his troops, he actually led his troops to Wei County like a turtle crawling. I stopped and stopped all the way, and it was only 50 miles in five days.

Such a state made Wang San, Shi Bin and Sai Xishi feel very wrong, and they are also very puzzled. Although the total number of troops is only 10,000 less, it actually has a great impact on morale. Shi Bin had said before that he would lead the army to King Qin, but now he is still heading north, which is completely contrary to the previous statement, and does not give the slightest explanation. In order to make sure that this was not Shi Bin's hot brain and gave an order, Jia Ling took Sai Xishi and Wang San to Shi Bin's tent to supervise it.

Knowing why the three of them came, Shi Bin looked at them with a smile and didn't make a sound, but there was a faint smug in that smile.

When marching and fighting, we should make decisions on the spot, act vigorously and resolutely, and we should never be indecisive and indecisive. Now Shi Bin is leading the army forward is a typical indecision and indecision. It's just that looking at Shi Bin's smug smile made the three of them puzzled. What is certain is that Shi Bin is by no means having hysteria now, and there must be a deeper reason in it that they don't know.

"Tell me, what bad water are you holding in your heart?" Jia Ling first calmed down and asked.

"It's still my Xiaoling who is the smartest." Shi Bin boasted, "Husband, will I use these hundreds of thousands of elite to fool around?" It's just a show for the bastards in the south. ”

Although I didn't like Shi Bin to say such vulgar words, I also understood why he was so uncultivated, so Jia Ling didn't care, just urged Shi Bin to tell the reason quickly and not to hang everyone's appetite.

"Actually, it's very simple, I don't want to show things so simple, I want to put a few smoke bombs on Song Ting, so that they can't easily touch my pulse, and I can't guess what I'm going to do next." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"What does the husband mean to show a hesitant look, so that Song Ting thinks that their plan has been successful and has choked your seven inches?" Sai Xi Shi said with a sly smile.

"That's true. Husband, I have always been strong in doing things, if I lead the whole army to retreat because of the retreat of 10,000 people, I am afraid that anyone will think that there is a conspiracy in it, and will be very careful and vigilant about my next behavior. ”

"The marshal is reasonable, he should be hesitant, and he should show strong dissatisfaction, and he must not immediately withdraw to Hebei West Road." Wang San said with certainty.

Realizing that he had not thought through the process, and had only thought of the most important aspect of showing hesitation and strong dissatisfaction, Shi Bin asked what the best way to go.

"Dashuai, maybe you have to behave more iron-blooded again, iron-blooded will become hesitant after ten days, and finally come to a 'last resort' to withdraw the army, and the matter should be taken care of." Wang San said.

After understanding what Wang San meant, Shi Bin ordered an all-out attack on Wei County, Beijing and Xin County. The three cities were destroyed one after another, and Shi Bin used an iron-blooded policy: all the Yuan people, except for the old and the young, were not left. Give away people who have a close relationship with the yuan

None remained.

But after doing so for more than ten days, Shi Bin released the news again, saying that there was a serious shortage of grain and grass. After the final 'struggle', the entire Daimyo's Mansion was broken and not enough food and grass were collected, and Shi Bin finally had to 'withdraw his troops'.

After returning to Zhending Mansion, Shi Bin began to act again. First, he asked Xu Feng to get some fake antique calligraphy and paintings, and then he smashed them and burned them at home, and finally cleaned them out by the domestic servants with great fanfare.

After doing this for more than ten days, everyone in the Zhending Mansion knew that Shi Bin, the ambassador of the system along the river, was angry, and his temper was not small. Naturally, the news quickly spread back to Lin'an. Upon receiving the news that Shi Bin had withdrawn his troops and was furious, Li Zong was both happy and worried. Happy Shi Bin did not rely on the war to increase his strength again, and at the same time worried that he would go crazy and pull the flag to rebel.

Perhaps because he felt that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi did not cooperate well enough and did not act so anxious, Shi Bin called them to the study to 'educate'.

"Two ladies, husband, I drop ceramics and burn calligraphy and paintings here every day, why don't you know how to cooperate well?" Shi Bin asked unhappily.

"We follow you every day, and your sad face is so difficult that you don't cooperate?" Jia Ling asked in surprise.

"Of course, it cooperated, but it wasn't enough. Gotta be a little more intense. Shi Bin said.

"More intensely?" Sai Xishi didn't quite understand, so he said, "The concubine doesn't understand how to behave more strongly, please tell me." ”

In fact, Shi Bin didn't know that this 'more intense', it was just a statement. At this time, he was asked by Sai Xishi, and he couldn't get off the stage. Jia Ling, the eldest lady of the official family, naturally did not want to embarrass her husband, so she immediately spoke: "Sister Xi Shi, what the husband means is that we want to be more anxious and irritable. It's okay to pretend to quarrel and abuse. ”

After knowing what Shi Bin meant, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi both showed 'more intense', throwing things and 'beating and scolding' subordinates at every turn.

Despite this, Shi Bin did not go south for a long time, and even if Wu Qian, who took over, came, he did not hand over his power to serve in Beijing. This made Wu Qian very embarrassed, so it was unnecessary to participate in Shibin's book, but it was also very unpleasant to be hung like this.

It was estimated that Wu Qian was about to reach the limit of patience, so Shi Bin went to visit him.

"Hello, Lord Wu." Shi Bin clasped his fists and saluted.

"Hello Lord Shi, Lord Shi came to the cold house for the handover?" Wu Qian asked directly without any disguise.

It's really a guy with a heavy official addiction, Shi Bin sneered. However, since Wu Qian proposed it, Shi Bin didn't bother to talk nonsense, saying that it was indeed for the handover of ambassadors along the river.

"Lord Shi, Wu knows that this matter is a little unfair to you, please be considerate of the saint." Seeing that Shi Bin's face was not good, Wu Qian comforted.

"Don't worry, Shi won't blame the emperor, it's normal for him to be afraid that I will support my troops and pull the flag to rebel, after all, my soldiers and horses have exceeded 150,000, and all of them are elite soldiers and strong generals, and anyone will be worried. What's more, this time the emperor also crowned me as the Duke of Qi, and the grace is not small. Even if I was dismissed as an ambassador along the river, it was already very benevolent to let me serve as the deputy privy councillor. Shi Bin said very 'sincerely'.

Of course, I don't believe Shi Bin's nonsense, but I also know that I don't want to find out the truth from Shi Bin's mouth. Wu Qian quickly gave up this idea, and instead talked with Shi Bin about the defense of Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei West Road.

Yellow River Defense

The emperor made Shi Bin's arrangement watertight, and it was Hebei East Road that also made Shi Bin build like an iron bucket, which made Wu Qian have to admire Shi Bin's military talent.

Perhaps out of pity, Wu Qian also told him from time to time that he wanted him to be a low-key person after entering Beijing, and he should no longer be without everything. Shi Bin naturally accepted Wu Qian's suggestion very 'seriously'.

"Lord Wu, how do you think I should go south?" Shi Bin asked.

Wu Qian was very surprised that Shi Bin would ask such a question. The legs are long on Shi Bin's body, why can't he go south? Besides, who dares to care about him now?

Looking at Wu Qian's puzzled eyes, Shi Bin felt a little unbearable, but he agreed to do so, so he said: "Lord Wu misunderstood, I don't want to ask whether to enter Beijing by water or by land, but whether it is better for me to go south with those forbidden troops who want to return to the garrison or not with them." ”

In Wu Qian, a person who has always been cautious, naturally had an answer immediately: Shi Bin should not go south with the forbidden army. As soon as Wu Qian's words came out, Shi Bin's face immediately became gloomy, as if Wu Qian was his great enemy.

I never thought that such a sentence of mine would cause such a big change in Shi Bin, but Wu Qian was a very assertive person and was unwilling to compromise easily, so he asked, "Why is Lord Shi like this?" Do you think what Wu said is wrong? Are you going south with those forbidden troops? ”

"I have this idea, but I don't know why Lord Wu doesn't approve of it."

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't understand, Wu Qian had no choice but to explain: "Lord Shi, now the emperor doesn't trust you very much, if you still lead troops south, wouldn't it give people a feeling of rebellion?" Even if you just follow those forbidden troops to the south, it is easy to be slandered by people with intentions, saying that you are going to pull the flag and rebel, I am afraid that you will not be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River at that time. ”

"You mean I'll take my men on a different path?" Shi Bin asked.

"That's right, it's best not to go down the same path as those tens of thousands of forbidden troops." Wu Qian said solemnly.

Of course, you can't do what Wu Qian said, otherwise the previous arrangement will be meaningless. So Shi Bin said 'angrily': "Lord Wu, does the emperor not believe me Shi Bin so much? You should also know that my Shi Bin has killed too much, there are enemies almost everywhere, and there will be danger wherever I go, so I can't go south with tens of thousands of forbidden troops? ”

Looking at Shi Bin with a wry smile, Wu Qian finally said: "It's not impossible, as long as Master Shi, you are not afraid of slander by people with intentions and say that you want to rebel." Wu Mou's words are all here, everything is still up to you, Lord Shi, to make your own decisions. ”

After listening to Wu Qian's words, Shi Bin pondered, if he said that he didn't have any concerns, it would definitely be false, but he couldn't swallow that breath. What's more, the emperor didn't trust him at all, and there was no longer a problem of slander, so Shi Bin didn't care very much.

But in order not to disappoint Wu Qian too much, and not to make Song Ting suspicious, Shi Bin expressed his willingness not to go all the way with the forbidden army going south. By land, the forbidden army by water.

Shi Bin secretly still planned to act according to the previous plan, but the plan was changed a little. When leaving Hebei West Road, Shi Bin did take the land route, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses took the waterway, and when he arrived near Lin'an, he converged into one place, 'King Qin'.

It's just that Wu Qian believed Shi Bin's words and said that he would tell Song Ting about this plan to reassure them. This made Shi Bin very happy. Because of Wu Qian, a loyal minister, as a cover, Shi Bin's plan to lead the army to King Qin will basically succeed.
