Chapter Seventy-One: Into Taiyuan

Since it was decided that the strategic plan must be set for a large-depth operation, Shi Bin began to feel that since he wanted to fight in depth, he would simply insert it to the end, enter Henan, go north along the Taihang Mountains, pass through Hebei and directly insert Yuan Dadu (Beijing), and then enter the three northeastern provinces.

Jia Ling didn't think so, it was advisable to go north through Taihang Mountain, and it was also advisable to go to Yuandadu, but there was already a lot of risk. Beijing is already in the North China Plain, with no place to hide, and if it does not retreat early, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses.

Although the three northeastern provinces have the Daxing'an Mountains and the Changbai Mountains to hide, it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies, and they have to cross the Northeast Plain to attack valuable strategic targets. Secondly, the climate in the Northeast is cold, and I am afraid that it is far from enough to rely on this cotton coat on the body.

People are afraid of death, and they are most afraid of sending them to death, even if they are dead soldiers.

In the end, Shi Bin had no choice but to agree, and Wang San said: "From this, it can be seen that the most suitable place for us to attack is still the Loess Plateau area north of the Qinling Mountains, south of the Great Wall, east of the Qilian Mountains, and west of the Taihang Mountains. ”

However, there is another question of the offensive line, whether to go directly to Beijing and retreat step by step, or to advance layer by layer, or other forms of attack?

The three of them all thought that the first two intentions were too obvious, and although they were only fighting in small forces, it was also easy for the Yuan people to see through the purpose at a glance.

As long as heavy troops are sent around to close the official road, then these hundreds of them can only run around in the mountains and forests all day long.

Therefore, it is necessary to first go to Shanxi, then attack Shaanxi, then use the Yellow River to attack Hebei, then turn back to Henan, and finally return to Jingzhou through the smuggling channel of Nanyang.

After making up his mind, he went to Taiyuan. As Jia Ling said, the north is no longer under unified command, and it seems to be divided into several parts according to the forces, each with its own boundary.

In order to ensure that this was not a trick by the Yuan people to lure the enemy, Wang San led a number of soldiers to try to attack several times.

As a result, they only watched Wang San and them run into the woods on the border, and the Yuan people only symbolically put a few arrows at most, but they never caught people beyond the boundary.

This can make Shi Bin and others more and more bold, and they can be regarded as doing everything. Along the way, many Yuanren grain depots were burned, which made them nervous one by one, and six hundred miles of urgent post soldiers could be seen everywhere on the official road.

Shi Bin fights in a disorderly manner, and belongs to the type of eating meat when he has it, but the most obvious feature is that those chicken ribs are not touched at all.

Taiyuan's Daru Huachi also specially arranged a few traps and placed a few pieces of big fat meat to invite you into the urn. This small force seemed to be particularly sensitive to danger, and each time it escaped into the mountains and forests before the siege was closed, making the soldiers everywhere angry but helpless.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty did not have much military power north of the Yangtze River, the people everywhere were only intimidated by the butcher's knives of the Yuan people but did not return to their hearts, so as long as a little propaganda and propaganda of the country's righteousness could obtain valuable information.

Coupled with the help of Jia Ling, a crazy girl who resembles a female agent, Shi Bin and the others are even more at ease.

Although there is not much grain and grass brought, but because of the presence of Shi Bin and these mountain hunters, the food of this small army is not only not as bad as I thought before, but it is better.

After half a month at the foot of Taihang Mountain, I finally approached Taiyuan. Everyone couldn't help but be cautious, after all, once out of the Taihang Mountain, it is the Loess Plateau, although the terrain is also ups and downs, but there are no longer so many hidden mountain forests and shrubs, even if because of the terrain, the Yuan soldiers can not be chased by cavalry, but they can also use infantry to encircle and annihilate Shi Bin's department.

Therefore, Shi Bin's iron rule is that the time from the beginning to the end of the attack should not exceed three hours, and no matter whether it is successful or not, it must be retreated immediately. If you are entangled and can't get out, you will give up all your baggage, if you can't get out, you will give up the tiger squat, and once you are surrounded, you will scatter and break through. Dare to violate military regulations and be beheaded immediately.

After walking for about five days, I arrived at the city of Taiyuan, looking at the endless plateau, which made people feel heroic. Shi Bin couldn't help but think of Cao Zhi's "White Horse Chapter" during the Three Kingdoms:

The white horse is decorated with gold bonds, and it gallops northwest.

By asking who the son is, he is a ranger.

When I was young, I went to the countryside and raised my voice in the desert.

In the past, Bingliang bowed, and the arrow was uneven.

The control string breaks the left, and the right one destroys the moon branch.

Raise your hand to catch the flyer, lean over and scatter the horse's hooves.

Cunning than the monkey ape, brave as a leopard.

There are many police in the border cities, and the number of captives and cavalry has moved.

The feather came from the north, and the horse climbed the embankment.

Long drive the Huns, left Gu Ling Xianbei.

Abandon the edge of the blade, and take your life safely?

Parents don't care, what a son and wife!

The name of the strong man is not allowed to take care of his own interests.

Donate your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home!

Seeing Shi Bin standing there with his head held high, his hands crossed in front of his chest, Jia Ling knew that he was narcissistic again, maybe he was thinking about becoming the ancestor of Tang Zong and Song again. So he walked over and pinched his waist hard, and pulled the arrogant Shi Bin back.

"Are you thinking about sealing the wolf again?" Jia Ling asked with a smile.

Knowing that this was laughing at his unrealistic dreams, Shi Bin disagreed and said: "Of course it's a fantasy now, but one day it will come true!" Shi Bin said with certainty.

didn't argue with him, Jia Ling was just a little joke, after all, her husband had great ambitions and was willing to take action, even if he failed, it was admirable.

It was enough to remind him to be sober and sober, and of course she couldn't vent Shi Bin's anger at this time.

It was just after the afternoon, Shi Bin was a little sleepy, he didn't want to hide in the small town outside the city all the time. Just when he was bored, he saw a farmer and a merchant talking quietly not far away.

Anyway, he usually walks forward in disguise, but now that the fake beard has not been removed, he is not afraid of being recognized, so he bought two catties of Lao Baigan from the store, and Shi Bin swaggered over.

Originally, I was not satisfied with this stranger who came suddenly, but I didn't stretch out my hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that I still had two catties of old white work? These poor people can't eat enough now, where can they get the money to drink, so they immediately turned their anger into joy and quickly accepted Shi Bin.

Shi Bin went straight to the point and said: "Two brothers, I believe you can all see that I am also a businessman, but my family is a little richer. I just saw the two of them whispering something, and the younger brother was afraid that this business would be lost, so he wanted to come and ask for advice. ”

took a closer look at Shi Bin's dress and conversation, this appearance is indeed a businessman, and he does not look like a spy of the Yuan people. The two of them said cautiously: "Seeing that my brother is not like a wicked person, it is not easy for everyone to make money, I can only say that since the last time Zhengzhou City Daru Huachi was killed by the Southern Song Dynasty warriors, this Taiyuan City's Daru Huachi was nervous all day long, lest he also be assassinated, so the investigation was much stricter." ”

This is not good news, the inventory is too strict, and you may not even be able to enter the city gate. Shi Bin immediately frowned.

Most of the poor people were kind and warm-hearted, and the two of them smiled and comforted: "This brother does not need to be so depressed, he can still go in for some money." ”

As a thank you, Shi Bin called three taels of old white to the two of them. The hands of taking people are short, and the cannibalism is the shortest, the two of them are a little embarrassed, and they hesitate again and again to inadvertently reveal a very important piece of information: in two days Taiyuan will definitely come to a big nobleman, because the streets in this city have been cleaned very clean by Daru Huachi, if you want to do business, you must enter the city before tomorrow morning.

As soon as he heard the news, Shi Bin was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to prepare to enter the city.

I wanted to go into the city in the afternoon to find a small inn to live in, and find out the situation in the city by the way. Jia Ling came out to stop it. Because although people are already very tired and sleepy in the afternoon, there are still many people entering and leaving the city gate in a big city like Taiyuan, and there must be more than one group of guards guarding the city, so they will not slack off for the time being.

So be careful that they remember the faces of Shi Bin and these people, although there were no cameras before, there were still painters who could draw them roughly.

So it was changed to enter at the end of the day, because at this time the sunset light was dim and the people were unknown, and the guards of the city were hungry and had no intention of checking them, let alone recording unfamiliar faces.

However, Shi Bin still felt inappropriate, according to the law of his previous life, he had already eaten at about six o'clock, and by the time he had finished eating (7-9 o'clock), maybe the meal was over. So he expressed his anxiety in his heart.

Jia Ling, who thought that Shi Bin had completely solved his confusion, heard such a question, so she smiled and said, "You have spent so long in Tanzhou City and Jingzhou Barracks, have you forgotten when they will have dinner?" ”

With this question, Shi Bin remembered that it was now in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the pace of life was slow, and there was no food before seven o'clock, and it was almost eight o'clock after eating. There is no electric light, and most people go to bed before nine o'clock.

The big city closes late, and when there is no electricity, the later it is, the more slack people become, and it is indeed easier for strangers to sneak into the city.

With these reminders, Shi Bin had to calm down and wait again, and Jia Ling stopped paying attention to him after speaking, and chatted with Wang San and others about his experience in the north.

When it was time to finally get through to Xu, Shi Bin planned to take Wang San and a few good guards into the city.

I didn't want Jia Ling to come out again at this time, saying that she was going to go in too. Shi Bin subconsciously objected, saying that she was absolutely not allowed to enter the city.

However, Jia Ling was not in a hurry, but just smiled slyly: "May I ask Commander Shi, is it forbidden in your army, and you can't change the order overnight?" ”

This is Shi Bin's magic weapon to govern the army, why do you still ask? Without saying a word, he nodded.

"Commander Shi, did I enter the city within five steps of you? Did you fight head-on with the Yuan people? Jia Ling said with a sly smile again.

It turned out that she was waiting for him here, Shi Bin was very remorseful, she had already said that she couldn't go back, and now she caught this loophole so that he couldn't advance or retreat.

"Don't worry, my Commander, I promise not to take a single step after entering the city. If you want me to go east, I will not go west. Moreover, if I leave you, will I not kill myself? Jia Ling said with an oath.

In front of so many subordinates, Shi Bin could only compromise, but the condition was that he would never leave his sight.

After negotiating, Shi Bin, Wang San and Jia Ling led several guards to sneak into Taiyuan City disguised as merchants, found an inconspicuous small inn to live in, and opened three upper rooms.

Everyone knows that this is already the territory of the Yuan people, although there are still patriots, they dare not come out to resist openly, so they can only make some resistance in secret. For example: kill a few patrols, cut a few drunk, I'm afraid there is not much other way, so everything can only be relied on themselves.

Walking on thin ice, one wrong step is a catastrophe, and everyone is excited and worried about the battle they will face, but there is no fear.
