Chapter 593: Digging the Foot of the Wall

originally thought that at most half of Hebei West Road would be held up, and eventually some of the recovered areas would be forced to give up, but I didn't expect that the result was not only to lay down the entire Hebei West Road but also to defend it.

Because after Shi Bin captured the Hebei West Road, the Yuan people did not organize an effective attack for four months, and they did not break through the defense line laid by Shi Bin. If the Yuan people can't make progress within half a year, then the Yuan people will definitely say goodbye to Hebei West Road.

Such a strange phenomenon made Shi Bin uneasy, thinking that Meng Ge would organize a large-scale counteroffensive, so he immediately sent someone to infiltrate the Yuan people to find out the news.

It wasn't long before I learned that the Yuan Dynasty was now an empty shell. Because Meng Ge thought that the Song court did not dare to take the initiative to attack, he sent Hülegü to lead part of his troops to the west, and sent Kublai Khan to lead part of his troops to the south to attack Dali. Therefore, the 120,000 horses on Hebei West Road are actually all the capital of the Yuan people on Hebei and Hebei Road.

Once these 120,000 horses were annihilated, the entire Hebei Lianglu would actually be in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty. If the Yuan people want to recapture it, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, who said that they are likely to fall into the hands of Shi Bin's nemesis?

Meng Ge was anxious because of this, and wanted to send troops to defend the East Hebei Road, but he was afraid that he would lose the sixteen states of Yanyun because of the lack of troops due to the rescue.

Shi Bin on the other side was also anxious, and he wanted to take Hebei East Road in one go, but he was afraid that he would not be able to defend it, and he would end up busy in vain. When the time comes, if the benefits are not reaped, they will be charged with underestimating the enemy.

Looking at Shi Bin's obviously very tangled appearance, Wang San and the others were a little worried. I all thought of the truth that 'profit makes people crazy'.

didn't want to watch Shi Bin be so entangled, Jia Ling said: "Husband, what's wrong with you, why are you full of sadness after a big victory?" ”

After smiling helplessly, Shi Bin said, "Xiaoling, aren't you pretending to be confused? Why am I so sad, do you know? ”

"I can only guess a little, most of it has to do with the recent news that the Yuan people are not strong enough, as for what you think of next, I don't know." Jia Ling smiled slyly.

Shi Bin really wanted to rush over and come up to Jia Ling's buttocks, let her remember it for a long time, don't joke at this time, he is the most painful at this time. It's a pity that Shi Bin believes in 'good men don't fight with women', so he had to endure it.

"Nu Zhuge , I did get entangled when I thought of this. Not only did he want to take the opportunity to take the East Hebei Road, but he was also afraid of touching Meng Ge's bottom line, because then it would directly threaten the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If we overstimulate the Montguna butcher, I am afraid that not only will we not reap the benefits, but we will also have to lose a lot, and the results will outweigh the losses. Shi Bin said solemnly and honestly.

If Shi Bin didn't mention it, Jia Ling didn't think of this. This Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is a springboard for the Yuan people to go south, and anyone who loses this piece will be a sinner of the Great Yuan. Therefore, Meng Ge will never let the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun be easily threatened. And among them, Youzhou (Beijing) and Jizhou (Tianjin Jixian) are the top priority, once Shi Bin seized the East Hebei Road, Youzhou and Jizhou will be under the peak of the Song army...

Hearing what Shi Bin said, Sai Xishi smiled very easily and said, "Is this difficult to solve?" I don't think it's difficult. ”

Isn't it hard to solve? Sai Xishi's words made Shi Bin, Wang San and Jia Ling, who were all very embarrassed, feel that Sai Xishi was talking nonsense. It's just that Sai Xi Shi really never talks nonsense, so the three of them never expressed their dissatisfaction, and finally asked Sai Xi Shi to say what she thought.

"In the final analysis, we still don't have enough troops to fight a war of attrition with Meng Ge. Since you can't afford to fight, don't fight, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. ”

It's a simple statement, but it's not a solution at all. Shi Bin and the three of them shook their heads in disappointment at Sai Xishi again and again.

"Have you forgotten what you said earlier?" Sai Xi Shi smiled very smugly, "Now we do."

The actual strength is insufficient, and they only dare to occupy the Hebei West Road. If one day we have enough troops and the opportunity is suitable, why can't we worry about Hebei East Road? ”

After Sai Xishi said this, Shi Bin and the others immediately understood what she meant, this is to ask Shi Bin not to be ambitious, but to be down-to-earth, first try to win over the soldiers who can be wooed, and then talk about others.

Shi Bin smiled a little embarrassedly, so he said to Sai Xishi: "Thank you Madame for reminding me, I am so happy." Then please help me and them figure out how to capture the loyalty of these soldiers. ”

It is not easy to get the loyal assistance of one person, let alone tens of thousands? It's not a good problem to solve.

Because he was thinking about the problem all the time, he was hungry very quickly even if he didn't have much activity, and Shi Bin's stomach was already hungry before lunch. Not wanting to make a 'coo' sound that would provoke Wang San and the others to laugh at him, Shi Bin ordered to start cooking when he felt hungry.

Although it was a little surprising that Shi Bin was hungry so fast, no one would accuse him of being so handsome and wanting to eat. On the contrary, everyone is drooling, because even if the dishes on the table are all home-cooked stir-fries, they will be full of color, flavor and flavor. Who wouldn't be happy to be able to eat this delicious food when they go out? Unless that person's brain is caught in the door and has a grudge against food.

This time, Shi Bin and his gang surprisingly did not discuss problems while eating, they were all 'working hard'. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but there is a mystery, because there are three large pots of mutton and beef dumplings on the table. If you don't eat it quickly, you will be eaten by others...

After they were full of wine and food, Shi Bin and the others began to discuss the issue of how to win people's hearts.

"Husband, I think we should be reasonable and affectionate to these soldiers, and tell them that there is a way out by following you, and continuing to follow Song Ting will only be a dead end. They all saw that the victory against Yuan was fought under your leadership, and it shouldn't be difficult for them to accept this. Jia Ling said quickly.

"Sister-in-law is right, we should indeed be reasonable to those soldiers, if we are not strong enough to ask those officers to help talk, it should be easier." Wang San said.

"Being a lobbyist, giving a speech? Two, it's hard. Maybe you can't win over a person if you wear out your mouth, but I think it's still a little good. "Seish proposes an extremely vulgar but certainly effective approach.

Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Wang San all agreed with Sai Xishi's method, but they didn't think it was the first choice, so they could only be used as an alternative. Spending money to buy loyalty is really a good idea. Sai Xi Shi couldn't convince Shi Bin and the three of them, and Shi Bin couldn't convince Shi Shi either. In the end, the minority obeyed the majority and decided to talk about the general interests of the country and the nation first. It's just that the development of things is really the same as what Sai Xishi's crow's mouth said, and it is good to say that it is just to attract 800 people to defect to Shi Bin.

This news made Shi Bin and the three of them very faceless, they didn't understand why the national righteousness couldn't let these soldiers defect to a strong army that could fight habitually, not to mention that the treatment of this army was not bad.

Seeing the dejected appearance of Shi Bin and the others, Sai Xishi didn't intend to laugh, but said very seriously: "Three adults, the first thing these soldiers care about is their stomachs, not their brains. If you tell them that these masters are righteous, as long as their stomachs are not full, they will certainly not listen to them. ”

Before, he could argue with Sai Xi Shi for a few sentences, but now that the facts are here, Shi Bin and the three of them have nothing to say, so they have to follow what Sai Xi Shi said. The advantage that Sai Xishi promised was that as long as he joined Shi Bin's troops, he would receive twenty catties of polished rice or fifty catties of coarse grain. As soon as the news was sent, the defectors continued to flee, and it did not stop until it reached 8,000.

Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Wang San were all impressed by such a big achievement, but Sai Xishi was not very happy, because this was much worse than she expected.

Seeing that Sai Xishi was unhappy, Shi Bin and the three didn't want her to be angry with herself because of such a trivial matter, so they came to comfort her. After a lot of comfort, Sai Xishi was no longer unhappy, but he was still a little unwilling.

When Wang San, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Shi Bin all felt that there was no good way to win over more soldiers and looked sad

, Xu Feng said: "My lord, there is a way to achieve your goal. ”

"What's the solution?" The four of them asked in unison.

After listening to the words of the four people, Xu Feng looked at Sai Xishi but did not dare to speak. Such a strange action made people wonder, so they asked one after another.

"The method of despicability is not much different from the method of the second lady, but it may be effective."

"It's not a big difference, it's not a big difference, it's useful, no one will say that you stole the second lady's things. If you have something to say, don't mother-in-law! Shi Bin urged.

"Yes, sir. The meaning of lowly duty is to hold a flowing water banquet at the gate of our own camp, and as long as it comes, everyone has to eat. If you want to stay after eating, you can stay, and it's okay to leave after eating. And tell those who come to eat, as long as they join the army of adults, they can eat such good things every day! ”

Running a running seat? It's a weird idea. Xu Feng's method is indeed very similar to Sai Xi Shi's method, both of which are attracted by matter, but they are different, Sai Xi Shi's method is one-time plus compulsory, and Xu Feng's method is persistence and arbitrariness.

This method made Shi Bin feel that it was likely to succeed, so the four of them just glanced at each other and decided to hold this flowing water seat.

The effect was immediate, and as soon as this flowing water banquet was held, soldiers continued to come to Shi Bin and ask to join Shi Bin's troops. Some of them may slip away after eating, but many of them can't resist the temptation of delicious food to come back. People want to be face-saving, and they have short mouths, so where to be a soldier is not a soldier? So those people eventually joined in.

Later, even Lu Wende's subordinates hoped that Shi Bin would accept them, but Shi Bin did not dare to accept them and had to refuse.

In just ten days, Shi Bin dug up most of the Song court's army.

When Jia Ling and Sai Xishi wanted to dig up these soldiers, they were stopped by Shi Bin and Wang San. I don't understand why Shi Bin and Wang San are so afraid of wolves and tigers, in their opinion, they have done everything, wouldn't it be nice to dig it clean?

Naturally, the two female men couldn't let their hearts sulk, so Shi Bin had to explain patiently: "We took tens of thousands of forbidden troops to the battle, but after the battle, only three or four thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, do you say this is appropriate?" ”

Jia Ling and the others knew that it was not suitable, but the two of them were reluctant to score such a large piece of fat or give it away.

"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Let's leave some for the imperial court, and it's enough to poach 30,000 elites." At the beginning, the imperial court gave us 60,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 losses in battle, but now we have dug up 30,000, and we should return 10,000 of them, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”

Perhaps entangled in the number of 10,000, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi did not compromise for a long time.

Frowning into his heart, Wang San sighed and said, "I thought that the two sisters-in-law were extremely smart, but it turned out that there were times when they were confused..."

This is obviously a provocation! As soon as Jia Ling and the others heard this, they immediately lost their temper, and they angrily asked Wang San to give an explanation, otherwise they would make Wang San look good.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang San said: "Two ladies, little brother, what is the use of this old, weak, sick and disabled person?" Do you want us to help them pay for their pensions and help them provide for their old age? ”

As soon as they heard the money, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately became smart, and they both said that it was impossible.

"Since it's impossible, then naturally we have to give Song Ting a reasonable reason, and we can't let people take the opportunity to make trouble. For example, in fact, only 50,000 forbidden troops were received, more than 30,000 were killed and wounded in battle, and a few thousand were deserters after the battle, so there were only 10,000 left. Wang San smiled slyly.

This time, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were completely convinced, and the two laughed slyly. said that he would select 30,000 elites from the soldiers who wanted to join Shi Bin and join the army. As for the rest, let them go back to be forbidden soldiers.

This excavation operation was successfully concluded, and Shi Bin and his gang were all happy to smile, and praised Xu Feng as a good thinker.
