Chapter 284: Offensive Strategy

Although it is not certain that Yu Jue's words can be fulfilled, after all, he cannot be arbitrary, but it is not bad to have enough merit to improve his prestige in the Sichuan army, and it is convenient to seek military and political power in Sichuan in the future. So after negotiating with Yu Jue, Shi Bin didn't say anything more, and only did one thing - sleep.

The meaning of this is very clear, Shi Bin just wants to rest as soon as possible and set off with his troops as soon as possible, and relieve the siege of Yibin before all the other generals.

They are all people who understand, so naturally no one bothered Shi Bin and them to rest, even the guards standing guard left Xu Feng alone, and the rest of the guard work was handed over to Yu Yu's people. The result of this arrangement was that Shi Bin and his gang slept lazily, sleeping from the afternoon of the first day to the morning of the third day.

After waking up, Shi Bin immediately finished washing, gobbled up a few baked cakes and didn't move a step, and sat down as a Buddha statue. It seems to be calmly waiting for something to come. After sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, two angry tigresses, came outside the tent. Because they are in the army, they must follow the rules, and they must be told by Xu Feng first, and they can only be let in after Shi Bin's permission. Therefore, although they were obviously anxious, they did not dare to be reckless.

"My lord, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi are here." Xu Feng said.

"Bring them in, I'm just going to talk to them about something."

The anger and anxiety of the two people who entered the tent were gone, but there was some cunning in their eyes.

"What are you here for?" Shi Bin asked pretending not to know.

"Lord Shi, why did our sisters come here, do you know?" Jia Ling asked rhetorically.

"Xiaoling, hurry up. It's time to set off for camp, and everyone had better rest and rest. Shi Bin urged.

"May I ask how Lord Shi is going to settle us this time? Do you take them to Yibin to fight against the Yuan people or stay in this Chengdu camp to enjoy Qingfu? Jia Ling said with some yin and yang weirdness.

"It turns out that you are afraid that Lord Ben will not take you to Yibin." Shi Bin said with a slight smile.

"Will you take us there?" Sai Xi Shi and Jia Ling asked in unison after hearing Shi Bin's words.

Glancing at Jia Ling and Sai Xishi with disdain, Shi Bin sighed and nodded helplessly. Just as the two were about to express their joy, Shi Bin said: "Of course you can go to Yibin with me, but there is one condition. ”

Condition? As soon as Jia Ling and Sai Xishi heard this, they immediately understood that Shi Bin had a backmove, and agreed that they would go to Yibin just under the pretense of not provoking them, and the key was his conditions.

But since they are willing to go with them, there is still something to talk about, and no matter how you say it, it is much more leisurely than staying in this Chengdu camp.

"Then you say, what are the conditions?" This time it was Sai Xi Shi who asked.

"It's simple, it's not allowed to clash with the Yuan people's team, you wear at least three pieces of leather armor for me. As long as the Yuan cavalry exceeds five hundred, you must retreat with me, and as long as you don't obey the military order once, you will be sent back to Dingzhou to take care of Xiao Yunpeng! And don't want to go with me again! ”

It's amazing! Jia Ling and the two looked at each other and thought so.

Jia Ling, the eldest lady, was naturally unconvinced, and immediately broke out: "What! Five hundred cavalry are about to retreat? Last time, Sai Xi Shi was used as a bait, and it was okay to face thousands of yuan cavalry, why can't I have it? What other three pieces of leather armor do you want to wrap us into zongzi? ”

As if he had thought it out for a long time, Shi Bin didn't care about Jia Ling's violent reaction at all, took a sip of tea slowly, and said lightly: "Listen to it or not, if you don't listen, I will let Xu Feng send you to Dingzhou to be a good mother." ”

Even if he told Jia Ling and Sai Xishi his bottom line, Shi Bin also pretended to close his eyes and shook his head, as if he was sure that they would give in.

"Okay." Jia Ling sighed and said with some frustration, "Just listen to you, the Yuan people will retreat with you after five hundred, and Sister Xi Shi and I will wear three pieces of leather armor." But I also have one condition! ”

"Yes, I know without you saying it. I also wear three pieces of leather armor, right? Shi Bin said with a sneer.

This time, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were completely defeated, and they had to agree to Shi Bin's request. Although I really want to tear the person in front of me, I can't do it.

Yu Jue sent two brothers, Ran Xuan and Ran Pu. The two of them are famous generals of the anti-Yuan Dynasty, and the key to Yu Jue's ability to resist the attack of the Yuan people is because Yu Jue adopted the strategy they proposed to ride by the mountain and control the surface with points. Without the two of them, Yu Jue would probably have a much more difficult time resisting the yuan.

With such a good future, and he was almost rested, Shi Bin naturally held a pre-war meeting.

"Two generals, I only know that Sichuan is a basin terrain, high on all sides and low in the middle. I don't know anything about the rest, and I ask the two Ran brothers to explain it to me in detail. Shi Bin smiled.

"Lord Shi is polite. I ordered our two brothers to say it, why do you say it so literally. Our brothers are all rough people, and I'm really not used to hearing this. Ran Xuan smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, then the official is free, please say it."

"Now that the Yuan people are attacking Yibin, although its momentum is large, it is not terrible, as long as they hold a few important cities, the Yuan people will not be able to move forward. However, Lord Yu had instructed us before my two brothers came, and I hope that Lord Shi had better not be passive and defensive, but be aggressive, otherwise it will disgrace your own prestige. Ran Xuan smiled.

"Understood. If Shi is passive and defensive, he will let down Lord Yu's hard work, where is he qualified to command the most elite soldiers and horses under him? So the two generals, please rest assured, I, Shi Bin, promise to take the initiative to attack. But we still have to discuss the details before we act, how about it? ”

This must be true, Ran Xuan and Ran Pu have been on the battlefield for a long time and don't know the truth of planning and then acting, this is not a fear of war, so they immediately asked Shi Bin's attitude. However, Shi Bin did not answer their questions, but asked them to talk about the deployment of the Yuan people's forces and his own troops.

The coach asked the general how he could not answer, and Ran Xuan immediately said meaningfully: "The situation of this Yuanren southern expedition is very delicate. This year, Meng Ge has just succeeded the Great Khan, he is the eldest son of Tuolei, and the previous Great Khan Guiyu is the eldest son of Ogedei, but the army of this southern expedition is mostly the army of Ogedei..."

'Borrowing a knife to kill' was the first word that flashed in Shi Bin's mind, and Brother Meng was so powerful. However, since Meng Ge's foundation is unstable and the Yuan people are not in harmony, why does Yu Jue still ask for help? Is it really because he is afraid that Uncle Xie Fang will harm him?

"My lord, Lord Yu is also full of factions, and there are a lot of surrender factions and neutral factions, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and now Uncle Xie Fang has repeatedly slandered in front of the emperor, it would be good if they didn't follow and frame the adults, so the adults have to ask you for foreign aid." Ran Pu continued his brother's words.

So that's the case, at this time, Shi Bin completely understood the meaning of Yu Jue's move, and gave him a big credit, and he would earn a few days of peace.

"Since the situation is not bad, how do you think it is more appropriate for us to attack? Sichuan is mountainous, and although I was born in Orion, I am not good at large-scale mountain warfare, so please advise. ”

Shi Bin was so modest that the two brothers of the Ran family were both frightened and admired, and they immediately knew everything about Shi Bin.

"Lord Shi, the Yuanren cavalry is almost useless in Sichuan and Dali, that is, it is just a façade to send some military newspapers. If there is really a war, those expensive cavalry Yuan people are reluctant to waste it here. Ran Xuan said with a slight sneer.

Indeed, the value of one cavalry is worth the value of twenty or thirty infantry, and the Yuan people are even cavalry, and they are reluctant to use it to fight against the Song army in this mountainous area.

"Then as long as we get to Yibin, we can attack as long as we pay attention to the grain and grass, and the city is actually very difficult to be breached?"

"Yes, Lord Shi. However, it is difficult for us to effectively attack them, so I would like to ask the adults how to prepare to attack the Yuanren. ”

"Simple. The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, as long as we cut off their grain routes, they would naturally collapse without a fight, and then we would go after and kill. ”

Cutting off the grain route is the most common and vicious strategy in war, so any general will attach great importance to the smoothness of his own grain route, and a madman like Shi Bin dares to lead a small army to attack behind enemy lines regardless of the grain route.

"I'm afraid it's hard to realize an adult's idea." Ran Xuan and Ran Pu said in unison with regret.

"Why?" Shi Bin asked suspiciously.

"The general who commanded the army this time was the Mongolian general Uliang Hatai. He said that the eldest son of the founding hero Subutai won the mantle of his father, and he was invincible in all battles, and the most important thing was grain and grass..." Ran explained.

"You said the Lord would be the one from Uliang Hadai?" This name made Shi Bin have to pay attention to it. put away the previous contempt and seriously discussed it with the two brothers of the Ran family. "You've fought him before?"

"This is natural, Ran Pu and I also robbed his grain channel, although we succeeded a few times, but the loss was not small, and finally we had to give up, so I said that although the idea of the adult is good, I am afraid it will be difficult to realize. Master Shi, I'm sorry. ”

"What's wrong with that? Ran Xuan, I, Shi Bin, thank you too late. If it weren't for you, once I lightly attacked the enemy, Lord Yu's 10,000 elite soldiers and my 3,000 descendants would probably be difficult to protect. Shi Bin smiled, "Then do you think it is possible that the grain road of Wuliang Hatai will be robbed?" I don't want to wear out the elite and yuan people in my hands, it's too much of a loss. ”

This is of course a consensus, but Ran Xuan and Ran Pu only agree with this opinion, and Shan obviously still thinks that Shi Bin is daydreaming.

Unexpectedly, things were quite troublesome, so Shi Bin had to rest and drink tea, thinking carefully about whether the grain route could not be blocked as the Ran brothers said.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Ling asked: "You say that Wuliang Hatai is so invincible, we can only defend passively, so how did Lord Yu win so many battles?" ”

"Lord Yu's combat style is more positive and well-behaved, while Lord Shi's combat style is more strange, and he often takes the sword sideways. Lord Yu won almost no dangerous moves, and forced the Yuan people back step by step. Ran Xuan said.

There is a word 'forced', Jia Ling understood what Ran Xuan meant, it seems that they don't want to take such a big risk with Shi Bin.

"I have a solution." Sai Xi Shi spoke when several people were not happy, "Didn't I just say that the army of the Yuan people of the Southern Expedition this time is mainly divided into two parts, one part of the cannon fodder is the Guiyou line, and the other part is the Meng Ge line. Since the grain road is not easy to break, how about making a fuss about this? ”

"What do you mean?" At this time, no one can come up with a good idea, it is like entering a dead end, but there is another way, which naturally makes everyone in the tent feel refreshed.

"Simple, sowing discord. Didn't Meng Ge want to use Guiyou's system as cannon fodder? Shall we not do that? Sai Xi Shi then said, "Let's only attack the Yuan army of the Meng Ge system and their grain team, and if we don't attack the Guiyou department, I don't believe that they can't afford infighting!" ”
