Chapter 585: Giving Back to Him in His Way

Having reached an agreement with Zhao Kui and Lu Wende, Shi Bin knew that everything was ready. After returning to the north, as long as you find the right opportunity, you can start a war with the Yuanren. If you have a heart or not, you can seize one or two important towns with lightning speed.

Therefore, after leaving Lu Wende's mansion, Shi Bin dispelled the idea of going to Jinghu to see Li Chao and Li Zengbo, but went back to Taiyuan directly.

Along the way, I was not only happy, but also excited and a little worried. Happily, when the agreement is reached, you can start a war with the Yuan people to obtain war achievements, and then seal your wife and son; is excited that he may become a hero who has recovered his old land; The fear is that the number of casualties is too great to bear.

After all, once Song Tingguang recovered Hebei, it would be close to the sixteen states of Yanyun. It was the base camp of the Yuan people to control the Guannei, and the Yuan people would never easily let Hebei fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty and threaten there. So once a war starts, it is bound to be a vicious war.

It was obvious what Shi Bin was thinking, so Wang San smiled and said, "Big brother's face is very interesting, is there something in his heart?" ”

Of course, he didn't want Wang San to see what he was thinking, let alone admit that he had something in his heart, so Shi Bin also smiled: "Brother Xian is too worried, the eldest brother is just thinking about whether to sleep and rest for a few days after returning to Taiyuan, or to start preparing for the army with this joy." We have gained a lot from going south this time, so we have to think about it. ”

This is half-true, Wang San may feel that there is no flaw and he has been deceived, but he seriously persuaded Shi Bin to go back and rest for a few days first, and leave those preparations to his subordinates. It is not the work of a wise man to do everything, but to know people well.

After listening to Wang San's words, Shi Bin suddenly became enlightened. Although this answer is not at all the same thing as the question I am thinking, there is one thing in common, that is, there is no need to be too entangled, just find a way.

As a result, Shi Bin's face immediately stopped being cloudy and became natural. Wang San laughed when he saw this, and didn't forget to praise Shi Bin, saying that he was as good as a stream. I never get tired of hearing good words, and it didn't take long for Shi Bin to completely forget about those things that made people worry.

After a long journey, Shi Bin dragged his tired body back to the Taiyuan mansion. At this time, they didn't have the heart to speak, even if Jia Ling and Sai Xishi came to care about them and ask them about the progress of the matter, they only replied with a very short 'um', 'yes', 'yes', and sometimes even just nodded, just a few more words from Xu Feng.

Although I don't like this feeling of 'hot face sticking to cold ass', I also know that there is a reason for it, so the two tigresses don't mind, but repeatedly instruct their subordinates to take care of Shi Bin smartly and actively. If they do it well, they will be rewarded.

Thinking about what Wang San said to himself on the road, Shi Bin opened his mouth when he was separated from Jia Ling and Sai Xishi: "Two ladies, please help me do something." ”

"Husband, please speak." Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi said in unison and very gently.

"Immediately arrange for his subordinates to go and find out the situation in Zhending Mansion (Shijiazhuang) and Xinde Mansion (Xingtai), the more detailed the better." After finishing speaking, Shi Bin ignored the two of them and went to sleep with his eyes closed.

Maybe it's because he feels that he can rest for a few days after a big event, or maybe he feels that he doesn't have to 'do everything' to 'know people well', so Shi Bin has been not so active and even a little slack in the three or four days after returning to Taiyuan.

This is not a good sign, they are all preparing for a big war, even if it may take more than a year, but Shi Bin can't be so slack all day long.

The solution to this problem is naturally to make Shi Bin realize that the situation is very serious, and everything will be fine if he doesn't get the promises of Zhao Kui and Lu Wende, and Hebei is not within reach.

So Wang San immediately sent a lot of people to Zhending Mansion and Xin

The German government probed the specific situation and soon got an important piece of news. A month ago, the Yuan people suddenly tripled the defenders of Zhending and Sindhok from 20,000 to 60,000, and eliminated the old and weak, so that 60,000 were all elite.

Such a data really surprised Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi. There are 60,000 elite guards in just two prefectures, and the Yuan people are really enough to spend money. The only thing that made the three happy was that out of the 60,000 people, there were only 15,000 true Yuan people, and the remaining 45,000 people were either Semu or Han. It can be seen that the strength of the Yuan people has been greatly insufficient.

And Wang San and the three planned to use this to remind Shi Bin. After some discussion, he still planned to act in a half-truth and half-truth, and informed Xu Feng to ask him to do internal response.

In the past few days, Shi Bin likes to enjoy the flowers in the courtyard with vassal elegance, and the gate of the courtyard is naturally the best stage. The day after getting the news, Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi saw that Shi Bin was in the courtyard, so they immediately started a performance at the gate of the courtyard.

"What did you say!" Wang San said loudly: "How is this possible? ”

"This is the news that has just come back, how can that person be a veteran for many years? Such a simple message would not be mistaken by an ordinary soldier, let alone him? "Jia Ling 'argues with reason'.

"Anyway, I don't believe it, how can the defenders of Zhending and Sindh reach 60,000? You call that guy here, and I'm going to ask him personally! Wang San said angrily, "If he dares to report the wrong military situation, I will cut off his head!" ”

Not long after, a man dressed as a soldier also arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and soon quarreled with Wang San. One vigorously said that he dared to use the head of the item to guarantee that the Yuan defenders in Zhending and Xinde had reached 60,000, and the Yuan people continued to increase troops in other places in Hebei.

Seeing that Shi Bin was still 'admiring' the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, Xu Feng had no choice but to remind Shi Bin: "My lord, Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang are arguing, and it seems that it is still very intense. ”

Hearing that Wang San and Jia Ling had an argument, Shi Bin was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and immediately went to the gate of the courtyard to find out.

Seeing Wang San and Jia Ling arguing with red faces, Shi Bin subconsciously thought that the two had indeed quarreled before, so he asked, "What's the matter, why did you quarrel?" ”

"Big brother, it's not a quarrel, it's just that I feel incredible about the military situation that my sister-in-law brought back, and I think something must have gone wrong. But my sister-in-law insisted that it was right, and at first she didn't want me to ask the person who sent the military information, so she argued a few words. Wang San explained.

Wang San is strict, Jia Ling wants to save face, and the dispute in this situation is very in line with the personalities of the two, so Shi Bin immediately believed the play played by the two.

"Is this person just sending military intelligence?" Shi Bin asked, pointing to a strange soldier.

"Yes, that's him." Jia Ling said.

"What military information did you send that caused Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang to quarrel?"

"Back to the adult's words, the villain learned that the Yuan garrison in Zhending and Xinde suddenly increased to 60,000 elites, and the Yuan people were still increasing troops to Hebei, so they came to report. Lord Wang didn't believe the villain's news, but Mrs. did, so the two had a dispute. The pawn said.

Hearing that the defenders of the Yuan people in Zhending and Xinde had reached 60,000, and they were still increasing their troops to Hebei, Shi Bin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his heart was already a little uneasy.

"When did this build-up begin?" Shi Bin asked.

"It started a month ago." The creep replied.

A month ago? This news made Shi Bin furious. Obviously, when Shi Bin captured the Yuan people and persuaded Li Zong to resist the Yuan, the Yuan people had already begun to increase their troops. This fully shows that the leakage of the Great Song Dynasty is very serious, and there are almost no secrets to the Yuan people.

"Sixty thousand?" Shi Bin asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"My lord, the villain dares to guarantee that the Yuan defenders of the two provinces will only exceed 60,000, and will never be less than 60,000." The little soldier's letter

Said with a heart.

Knowing that the soldier was not lying, he rewarded him with a few taels of silver and asked him to leave. At this time, Shi Bin was no longer in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and immediately brought Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi into the secret room for a meeting.

"The defenders of the Yuan people in Zhending and Xinde have reached 60,000." Shi Bin said, "Do you know more detailed information? For example, the composition of the garrison and the army? ”

"Big brother, the one who guards the Zhending Mansion is the general Ali Hague, the people who are afraid of Wu'er, and the famous general of the Great Yuan. He led 5,000 Mongol soldiers, 10,000 Wu'er soldiers and 15,000 Han soldiers to defend Zhending Mansion. The garrison of the city numbered fifteen thousand. The general of the town of Xinde Mansion is Arakhan, who is also a famous general. He led the same force as Ali Hague to defend the Sinde Province. Wang San said.

"That's so much..." This situation is much worse than Shi Bin estimated. There are 15,000 elite soldiers guarding the city alone, and most of the Yuan people are cavalry who can rush to help, and it is not possible to defeat Zhending Mansion and Xinde Mansion without paying some price.

"Is there any way you can take these two lands?" Shi Bin asked.

"It's definitely not okay to fight hard, the casualties are too great, even if you win Zhending and Xinde in the end, you will face a strong counterattack from the Yuanren, and you will probably not be able to hold it. Therefore, we must use the strategy to obtain true determination and faith, minimize the casualties, and ensure that we have the strength to resist the counterattack of the Yuan people. Jia Ling said immediately.

Wang San, a cunning guy, even said that Lu Wende's troops should also be incorporated into the combat team, and they should not just be waved and shouted.

Of course, I very much agree with the opinions of Jia Ling and Wang San, and Shi Bin said that he would think in this direction. Especially to figure out how to take the two places at the minimum cost.

It's not a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, and the solution is not to think about it. I thought about it for half an hour, but no one came up with a solution.

"Those traitors in the Song Dynasty are really damned, we just finished our work, and their reinforcements have already arrived, I really can't wait to tear them apart!" Sai Si Shi complained.

"It's just that traitors are too hateful. However, if the Yuanren spies were not powerful, they would not have been able to obtain such important information, and it would be impossible for them to increase their troops so quickly. Wang San said.

"Spies?" After Shi Bin listened to Sai Xishi and Wang San's words, he started chattering to himself.

Shi Bin kept thinking about it like this, Wang San, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi all felt wrong. I felt that Shi Bin must have thought of something, but he just didn't have a clue, so the three of them didn't dare to interrupt, so they could only let him read it.

Not long after, Shi Bin suddenly laughed wildly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a spy!" Wang San, Xiaoling, Xi Shi, since the Yuan people can use spies on us, then why can't we also use spies on them, and can't we use another way to give back to them? ”

This time, he understood why Shi Bin was so happy, and Wang San was also very happy after he understood, and he agreed with Shi Bin's idea very much.

Wang San even said: "Big brother, we have to be careful with this spy, now that the time is not tight, we can take it slowly, but we can't attract the slightest attention from Ali Hague and Arakhan." Otherwise, we will suffer huge losses as a result. ”

"Yes. What do you think this spy is doing when he's gone? Shi Bin asked.

"First of all, it is natural to find out the most detailed troop deployment of the two places, to find out the layout of the two prefectures and all the information related to defense. It's a good idea to figure out the relationship between the generals and the various units to see if there's a chance to get started. Jia Ling smiled.

"It would be best if you could infiltrate the defenders..." Sai Xi Shi said expectantly.

It's a bit unbelievable, but it's not impossible, as long as the guards guarding the gates are reversed, anything is possible. So Shi Bin also agreed with Sai Xishi's idea.

In the end, he ordered 100 elite soldiers to pretend to be porters, foot merchants, day laborers, beggars, and homeless people to gradually infiltrate Zhending and Sindhok.
