Chapter 705: Graveyard

Originally, it was not clear whether Chen Guojun was among the support troops who were not here, but seeing such a decisive retreat of this support force, Shi Bin was sure that Chen Guojun would be among them. How can you give up on such an important lifeline as the grain road? Even if there are multiple grain routes, it shouldn't be like this, the key is that it is not normal to give up so quickly, so the general who leads the troops must be Chen Guojun, and others will never dare to do this.

"Xu Feng, now that I can confirm that Chen Guojun is among the 10,000 troops, do you think I should fight him in an ambush?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin had just ordered Li Chao and Wang Jian to ambush and could only fight once, but now he himself also wanted to ambush, which made Xu Feng's brain a little overwhelmed, and he was stuck there.

"When I said to Li Chao and Wang Jian that we could only ambush once, it was because we didn't know whether Chen Guojun was among the troops supporting there, but now it has been confirmed. Therefore, the previous plan needs to be changed. ”

"My lord, how can you be sure that Chen Guojun must be in that support force? Although the lowly position also thinks so, but I am not sure. Xu Feng asked.

"Not because of anything else, just because the Address Army gave up the Sea Grain Road so quickly." Shi Bin said, "Although the delivery army has two grain routes, one sea and one land, the sea grain routes are not unusable today, and they are not without any countermeasures, and the people at the address also have a navy." ”

"My lord, but if the addresser continues to transport grain like this, the loss will be very large, and it is estimated that they will not be able to afford it."

"It's really unaffordable, but such an important issue, do you think that if Chen Guojun is not in this support army, they would dare to choose to retreat so quickly?"

"My lord's words are reasonable, the end will not be enough, Chen Guojun must be in this army. The lowly thought that an ambush could indeed be fought. How are you going to ambush Chen Guojun? Xu Feng asked.

With Xu Feng's little think tank, Shi Bin was of course lazy, and just smiled: "Xu Feng, you help me think about it, and we will discuss it when I think of it." ”

This is Shi Bin's rule for discussing things, and Xu Feng is a person who is willing to think about problems, so he is not disgusted by Shi Bin's approach, and he immediately thinks about it after hearing the words.

It didn't take long for Xu Feng to put forward his first idea: since the delivery army had abandoned the sea grain road, he ordered Li Chao and Wang Jian to retreat and follow behind the delivery army, ready to block their retreat to the harbor at any time. Shi Bin led 10,000 soldiers to ambush in front of the handover army. As soon as the attack is launched, it will be flanked from the front and back.

This strategy of flanking back and forth is good, but Shi Bin thinks it is not perfect. Because Li Chao and Wang Jian's troops could not all evacuate the harbor, it would be easy to arouse Chen Guojun's vigilance, so some smoke bombs had to be set off. Leaving two or three hundred people to make a momentum, Chen Guojun mistakenly thought that the Song army still had a few thousand people near the harbor. Even if he found that the Song army was following, he would not be afraid, and he would not turn from retreating to fleeing.

After thinking of this, Shi Bin immediately ordered: Li Chao and Wang Jian left 300 people in the harbor to build momentum, and the rest of the soldiers were led by the two to secretly follow the handover army and listen to Shi Bin's orders.

Li Chaohe and soon Wang Jian received Shi Bin's order and faithfully carried out the order, which made them very excited. Because if Chen Guojun is really killed, the two of them will definitely be able to be promoted and make a fortune with their military merits.

Wishes are beautiful, reality is crippled. Although Shi Bin, together with Li Chao and Wang Jian, dealt a blow to the delivery support army, it was a pity to find that Chen Guojun discovered this trap on the first day and withdrew with 7,000 elites, leaving only 3,000 old and weak remnants as a cover. And the 3,000 handover soldiers can be said to be

'Collapse at the touch of a button',.

You must know that it is not difficult to escape between the mountains and forests, so Shi Bin wasted a lot of effort and thought and finally killed less than 2,000 abandoned pawns, which made his face very dull and scolded Chen Guojun for being cunning.

"Don't be angry, Sir, we haven't gained nothing. After all, it cut off Chen Guojun's sea grain road, and also wiped out some of the handover army. Although the number is small, at least it extinguishes his arrogance. Wang Jian came out to comfort Shi Bin.

"Yes, Dashuai, what Lord Wang said is true. The grain road is the lifeline, and if Chen Guojun is cut off from one of his lifelines, no matter how powerful he is, he will be overwhelmed by this matter. Even if he kept the men and horses, it was useless to not have enough food and grass, but it was still a burden. Li Chao said with a smile.

I didn't want to and couldn't behave too irrationally in front of my subordinates, after listening to Wang Jian and Li Chao's words, Shi Bin suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed down.

"Tell me where he's going to go? Should I go back to Lianzhou Daying or go to Qinzhou City to arrange the delivery of grain and grass and ensure the safety of the retreat? Shi Bin asked.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that Chen Guojun should be on the way to Qinzhou at this time, his sea grain route has been cut off by our army, if we don't arrange the transportation of grain and grass from Qinzhou to Lianzhou as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to hand over the army to chaos without a fight." Li Chao said with a smile on his face.

"Marshal, the last general agrees with what Master Li said, but the last general also has some ideas of his own. The last general thought that Chen Guojun might play another trick and let the thousands of troops return to the camp in Lianzhou, and he himself would take one or two hundred guards to Qinzhou. Wang Jian said.

Li and Wang's attitude is basically the same, that is, Chen Guojun will definitely go to Qinzhou, the difference is only whether he will bring thousands of elites under his command. In Shi Bin's opinion, Chen Guojun would definitely not bring those thousands of elites with him, because it would be too slow.

"Li Chao, what do you think of Wang Jian's opinion?"

"I agree, I didn't expect those thousands of people to stay before, Lord Wang is really powerful." Li Chao praised sincerely.

"Li Dacai is a great general, you can say your own opinion as soon as the handsome's voice falls, so impatient, I might as well too." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Why are you two still flattering each other? Give me a good idea of what to do next! Shi Bin was not very happy that Li Chao and Wang Jian ignored the business but praised each other, so they reprimanded each other very unceremoniously.

Knowing that they had done the wrong thing at the wrong time, Li Chao and Wang Jian immediately pleaded guilty to Shi Bin, saying that they would provide Shi Bin with an effective and good method.

"I want to make the handover army have no way to enter the ground and no door, and the two of you will think in this direction."

This requirement is not low, Li Chao and Wang Jian immediately became bitter gourd faces, and they both regretted touting each other before, but they could only admit it. and thou shalt not live.

It didn't take long for Li Chao, a smart man, to speak: "Dashuai, the reason why we didn't have a good record in the previous battle was because we let those handover troops flee into the mountains and forests, so if we want to leave no trouble, we must completely annihilate them." And if we want to completely annihilate it, we must force Chen Guojun to find us for a decisive battle, otherwise it will always be a big trouble. ”

"Forcing Chen Guojun to lead troops to fight me in a decisive battle?" Shi Bin didn't understand the meaning of Li Chao's words for a while, and groaned with some doubts.

"Yes, force Chen Guojun to fight a decisive battle with the marshal."

"How? Chen Guojun is not an ordinary person, he is a difficult opponent. ”

"Naturally, Chen Guojun is short of grain and grass, and without grain and grass, he has to fight if the army is unstable. This gave the marshal the opportunity to set a trap for Chen Guojun. Once Chen Guojun was in the scheme, he and

The handover army under his command should have no way into the earth. Shi Bin smiled slyly.

It turns out that Li Chao still wants to make a fuss about food, but this is indeed the simplest and most effective way.

"You mean to make the supply of food and grass for the Address Army insufficient? Where do you start? Shi Bin asked.

"Yes, Sir. The last general is planning to make the supply of food and grass for the handover army insufficient. The solution is simple, destroy all roads. The hilly official roads are no better than the plain official roads, and once they are damaged, they are difficult to repair. Moreover, the transportation volume of tens of thousands of catties of grain is often carried out, and if the road is not open to grain and grass, it cannot be transported, and I am afraid that anyone can only look up to the sky and sigh. Of course, we also have to protect our own food routes, but we have a lot of food routes, and the waterways are also under our control, so we are not afraid. But this is probably not the case with the Address Army. ”

"What do you think, Wang Jian?" Shi Bin asked.

"Dashuai, the last general agrees with what Master Li said. Destroying all roads is currently the most effective and easiest way to do it. Once there is a shortage of grain and grass, the initiative is in the hands of the commander, so Chen Guojun has to fight. Even if Chen Guojun arranged everything, it would be useless. ”

"It seems that both of you are very optimistic about this battle, Xu Feng, tell me your opinion."

"Marshal, I'm also very optimistic, the handover army will definitely lose. It's just thinking about how to annihilate the most armies at the least cost. Xu Feng lowered his head and pondered for a while and said.

"There's something you mean by that, it seems like you have some ideas." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Dashuai, lowly is just a rough idea, but it may not be successful, if it is wrong, please don't blame Dashuai."

"Ben Shuai has always been innocent here, Xu Feng doesn't talk nonsense, quickly tell the way you think of it."

"Yes. I hope that the marshal can find a way to make a game of turtles in urns. ”

In war, anyone wants the turtle in the urn, which has the greatest results, the heaviest blow to the enemy, and the least consumption of themselves. But Shi Bin didn't believe that he could turn the address army into a turtle in an urn now, and Xu Feng was a little fantastical. However, the speaker was not guilty, and Shi Bin didn't intend to reprimand Xu Feng, but just shook his head with a smile.

"Marshal, there is a way to humble your position, maybe you can help your lord turn the handover army into a turtle in an urn. Not to mention everything, tens of thousands of people should still be able to do it. Xu Feng said confidently.

Since Xu Feng was so confident, Shi Bin, Li Chao and Wang Jian did not interrupt Xu Feng's words, and let him continue.

"Didn't the addresser always want to capture Lianzhou and form a corner with Qinzhou to fight against the marshal's soldiers and horses? Why didn't the marshal just go along with them? Xu Feng smiled slyly.

Xu Feng's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants the Lianzhou defender to take the initiative to abandon Lianzhou City and give it to the 60,000 troops outside the city. The handover army that entered the city was the turtle in the urn. The idea is bold, the risks are not small, but the rewards are not small. Therefore, Shi Bin, Li Chao and Wang Jian all bowed their heads and pondered after hearing this strategy.

"Marshal, we can ask the Lianzhou city defender to make a rout and burn all the grain and grass when leaving, leaving the handover army with an empty city. If possible, leave a secret passage for us to attack. ”

Such a chain plan is absolutely wonderful, as long as it is done well, Lianzhou City is the graveyard of the handover army. Thinking about these things clearly, Shi Bin laughed and said, "Okay! According to what you said, while destroying all the roads between Qinzhou and Lianzhou, let the Lianzhou guards withdraw from Lianzhou City, leaving an empty city for the handover army! I'm going to let all these 60,000 handover troops die in Lianzhou City!" To avenge the slaughter of the people of the Great Song Dynasty by the Address Army! ”
