Chapter 300: The Stumbling Block

Since Shi Bin's subordinates are all elite soldiers, even if they face ten times the enemy, their faces will not change, not to mention that there is now a city and a thousand and five defenders to resist together, but six or seven thousand yuan people are not enough for them to pose any threat at all.

When I didn't have a bayonet before, I was still a little worried that one day the musket would be useless, and I would have to trouble changing to a single knife, and if I was not careful, I might be injured, after all, the Yuan people were brave. Now that he is not afraid, he can just put the bayonet on the barrel and clamp it tightly, which makes the soldier even more fearless.

Of course it's good, the Yuan people sighed when they hit Wangcheng, and Shi Bin's subordinates took turns to fight and rest, but Shi Bin himself was not very happy. The Yuan people did not dare to attack Guangyuan with all their strength due to insufficient backup and supplies, and their own people were too good at fighting, resulting in the Yuan people's attack not making the slightest progress.

Seeing this, Li Chao of course understood that it would be strange if the Yuan people did not retreat if they continued to fight like this, and their previous efforts would be in vain, although they also fought a few guerrillas, they would definitely not get the position of Sichuan Commander-in-Chief, so it would be really boring.

How to achieve the previous goal, now Shi Bin and Li Chao feel that they must solve the problem immediately. It is a good way to let out of the city gate to give the Yuan people the illusion that they may win, but in this way, it is a child's play with the lives of his soldiers.

"Lord Shi, Xia Guan thinks that if we can't show weakness and lure the Yuan people to attack with all their might, our plan will fail. Those who achieve great things are not informal, and they are constantly subject to chaos. Seeing this, Li Chao hinted.

'Those who achieve great things are not informal' Shi Bin naturally understood, but Shi Bin did not understand the meaning of this 'when the judgment is constantly suffering'.

"My lord, although we didn't start a position without permission, we didn't have the will of the imperial court after all, and at most we could defend ourselves..."

Before Li Chao finished speaking, Shi Bin took over the conversation and said: "This official is now on the defensive!" ”

"But what next, my lord? It's certainly not an option to keep going; If it is defeated, Zheng Qingzhi and his ilk in the DPRK will definitely fall into the ground; If we win, we'll have nothing to offer. Li Chao explained earnestly.

I was thinking about how to get the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief before, but I never thought about the possible consequences of victory or defeat. Shi Bin became even more melancholy after hearing this, he knew that most of them had to deliberately sacrifice some soldiers and disregard people's lives.

Just as he was about to give this order in pain, Li Chao suddenly stopped him, saying that there might still be a way. It turned out that one side was weak but did not let out of the city gate, and the other side made trouble, and ordered his cavalry to stir up Longnan, Tianshui and Baoji again.

In this way, the number of Yuan troops currently stationed in the three places will be greatly insufficient, and the Yuan people of Guangyuan City, who are about to 'fall', will not withdraw their troops. In order to ensure the stability of the rule, even if they were reluctant, the Yuan people had to increase their troops. With more Yuan troops coming, the Yuan people besieging Guangyuan would never withdraw their troops, and Shi Bin's plan could continue.

Shi Bin agreed with Li Chao's opinion very much, and immediately ordered him to lead three hundred elites to sneak out of Guangyuan City at night to carry out the plan to make trouble.

With the pride gained by the invincibility of the Yuan people, Shi Bin naturally couldn't allow Shi Bin to insult them again and again, so what he wanted most was to break through Guangyuan as soon as possible and kill all the Song people in the city.

The wish is good, but within half a month, the guards of Longnan, Tianshui and Baoji will find it difficult to calmly command the battle because of the local chaos and the rebuke from the top. However, if the troops are not withdrawn as soon as possible, something big will happen in their own jurisdiction, and the light ones will lose their official hats, and the heavy ones may even lose their lives, which is naturally unacceptable to anyone. But looking at the three guards of Guangyuan City who were about to 'fall', they were all reluctant to give up. The battlefield generals naturally didn't dare to make a decision easily, and after thinking about it again and again, they finally found a compromise solution: they jointly wrote a letter to ask Shangfeng to transfer troops for support.

Seeing that the Yuan people were in the plan, Shi Bin immediately sent a fold to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements and ask for cheap rights.

In the consciousness of Shi Bin and Li Chao, the Song court is now difficult to ride a tiger, and they have to give them more military power, otherwise they will lose Guangyuan and lose the hearts of the people. As the old saying goes: those who win hearts and minds win the world. If the Song court wanted to continue to maintain it, it had to agree to their terms.

However, soon after, the decree sent by the Song court made Shi Bin so angry that one Buddha was born and the other Buddha ascended to heaven, and he almost sat on the ground, first of all, he was reprimanded for not knowing the severity of the war, and secondly, he was ordered to give up Guangyuan and return to Beijing to plead guilty.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest brother, Li Chao of course realized that it was extremely bad news, and it was estimated that it was so bad that the two of them expected. Therefore, without waiting for Shi Bin's permission, he pulled the official document in Shi Bin's hand and read it carefully.

However, after a hurried glance, Li Chao tore up the official document in his hand while exploding foul language, scolding Li Zong for being stupid, and Zheng Qingzhi shamelessly.

Fortunately, Shi Bin still likes to watch Yue Fei's biography and deeply remembers the story of the twelve gold medals, so his reaction to Song Ting's will is not as out of control as Li Chao's, and he can be regarded as maintaining his face as a coach and stabilizing the army's heart.

"Big brother, they bastards actually did such a shameless thing, in order to stop us, they actually asked us to give up Guangyuan!" Li Chao asked through gritted teeth.

"Do you think I will?" Shi Bin snorted coldly and said, "Zheng Qingzhi, they have a good dream. However, we did miscalculate, we did not expect that the capitulation faction was so powerful, and Ritsune was so unenterprising. ”

"If we don't go back, then we are resisting the decree, the crime of resisting the decree can be big or small, if Zheng Qingzhi catches him, he will definitely kill us, then it will be bad."

Indeed, it is a great sin to disobey. We have already made three big enemies, Zheng Qingzhi, Ding Daquan, and Uncle Xie Fang, and Wu Qian and Zhao Kui may not be able to support us, so things are a little difficult to do. Shi Bin groaned sadly.

"Big brother, what should I do? If you can't find a way, you can really only give up the hard-won Guangyuan, and you will go to Lin'an to ask for guilt. Speaking of this, Li Chao obviously couldn't suppress his anger, and shouted in a low voice: "Why is Emperor Lizong so useless!"

"Rest assured, rest assured. As long as the Yuan people don't withdraw for a day, Li Zong will not dare to touch us for a day, and at most he will be degraded. What's more, it's not that there's no way to do it, but we just haven't figured it out for the time being. Shi Bin smiled and comforted, "Brother, if you are tired, go and rest first, everything is not in a hurry." ”

knew that this was Shi Bin comforting himself, but Li Chao still accepted his comfort, after all, it really didn't work to be in a hurry, and it was time to rest after commanding a whole day's battle.

After Li Chao left, Shi Bin felt relaxed, he was afraid that Li Chao would say something rebellious in a fit of anger, and once someone with a heart heard it and then told his political opponent, it would be really a big trouble.

Shi Bin thought that everyone's thinking would not be exactly the same, maybe Xu Feng would be able to find another way to find the best of both worlds, so he asked: "Xu Feng, you give me an idea, see how to achieve our goal without falling into Zheng Qing's tricks." ”

Willing to ask him this question, Xu Feng naturally understood that this was his appreciation, and immediately concentrated on thinking about it.

Within a cup of tea, Xu Feng spoke: "My lord, the official document just now said that you should give up Guangyuan and return to Beijing to ask for guilt, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Then what if you can't even get out of Guangyuan City?" Xu Feng continued to ask.

"Can't even get out of Guangyuan City? Xu Feng, what do you mean by that? Shi Bin wondered.

"The villain forgot to ask, if you can't get out of Guangyuan City, so you can't go back to Beijing to ask for guilt, will the court punish you?"

"Not really. Although Li Zong is now ignorant and incompetent, he is not unreasonable, and if he can't go to Jingshi to ask for guilt because he can't leave the city, he won't be punished. Shi Bin said with certainty.

"That's good. Your Excellency, you just don't have to go out of town. Xu Feng said lightly.

Shi Bin didn't understand this, in his opinion, his hundred-battle lion could retreat against thousands of cavalry, how could he not be able to get out of the city?

Knowing that Shi Bin didn't understand what he meant, Xu Feng was a little helpless, so he had to continue to explain: "My lord, you are really real. The combat effectiveness of your army is best known only to you, and only your own words are the most convincing. Isn't it that if you say strong, you will be strong, and if you say weak, you will be weak? ”

This time, Shi Bin understood that Xu Feng was telling him to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

"The problem is that our battle is too easy, if Zheng Qingzhi's suspicion sends his subordinates to check, wouldn't it be a goof? Although he did not obey the decree, he could not escape, but he could not escape from the deception. Shi Bin said helplessly.

"Your Excellency is too worried. Let's just pretend we can't beat it! ”

"Xu Feng, before you mentioned this method, the official and Li Chao had already discussed, but I thought it was a matter of disregard for human life, so I vetoed it. If you were to do the same thing, I wouldn't agree to it. Shi Bin said in a non-negotiable tone.

After hearing this, Xu Feng clasped his hands into fists and said, "Adults cherish soldiers, and villains admire." But when I say weakness, I don't mean disregard for human life. ”

As soon as he heard Xu Feng say that he would not careless of human life, Shi Bin immediately came to his senses and motioned for him to speak quickly.

Of course, there is no room for procrastination in such an emergency, Xu Feng said: "Actually, it is also simple, the lord ordered his soldiers to shout in pain during the day when they were fighting, and they could not stop wailing when they rested at night. ”

"Good plan!" When Shi Bin heard this, he praised loudly: "This can not only strengthen the confidence of the Yuan people to attack, so that we have more excuses to obtain the jurisdiction of Sichuan, but also block the mouths of those guys who want to dismantle the stage." I can't imagine that Xu Feng can come up with such a clever plan, it's amazing! ”

Xu Feng has always been modest, not to mention even more modest in front of Shi Bin, and repeatedly said that it was only 'a fool who thinks a thousand times to have one'.

He will not discuss any 'fools' and 'wise men' with Xu Feng, and Shi Bin will immediately issue Xu Feng's strategy as a military order. As expected, the Yuan people really set off wave after wave of fierce attacks, but they still couldn't conquer Guangyuan.

And all this was really seen by the messenger of the letter, and then Shi Bin promised him a benefit fee of three hundred taels of silver. In the end, Shi Bin secretly beat him before letting him leave on a dark and dangerous night.

A month later, the post man of the Jingshi brought another will, this time it was much better, saying that he was not to blame for Shi Bin's faults in the past, and he would not give up Guangyuan, but at most let him mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses in Sichuan.
