Chapter 169 Attack from the North
Chapter 169: Attack North
After taking the Tanzhou Zhizhou in his hands, Shi Bin's group were all overjoyed, although the land of a state is not big, it is enough to raise 6,000 elite infantry, if it is more developed, it can even raise 5,000 infantry and 500 elite cavalry.
Fortunately, Shi Bin knew that his foundation was still too thin, and the wanton expansion of the army was to dismantle himself, so he suppressed this idea, so he had to honestly be a farmer, miner and dart master, and had to build himself in the pile of briefs.
In order to show that his strength has increased, he also built a new battalion of cavalry on the basis of eight battalions of 2400 Army.
The joy on his face soon disappeared, and he became his original appearance again, drooping his head, frowning, although he would not sigh, he was also breathing heavily, and the whole old man was terminally ill.
"What's the matter, aren't they all Tanzhou governors? Although the military power has not yet been fully obtained, Tanzhou is actually ours! It seems that there is nothing worth so much sorrow about you. Jia Ling walked in front of the study with Xiaoqin, heard Shi Bin's lament and walked in, and immediately asked when she saw Shi Bin's appearance.
A few days ago, Jia Ling had already seen some clues, but she didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, so she kept silent, and just came over occasionally to take a look. Unexpectedly, Shi Bin became more and more depressed, which made Jia Ling very surprised and very dissatisfied. This promotion is like riding a rocket, why is it still so unhappy? It also seems too dissatisfied.
was pulled back from the depression by Jia Ling's words, knowing that his performance just now was a little too much and too hypocritical, but he didn't want her to misunderstand, so he explained: "Madam, my husband is not so dissatisfied, but hates this pile of documents, I guess you also hate that I was built in this pile of documents, and finally became a nerd who only knows how to review official documents and can't lead troops to fight." ”
This is true, even when she was confined, she didn't want to settle down, let alone Shi Bin, a husband who was born in the army? It is estimated that he is dreaming of taking his subordinates, a group of elite soldiers who can skillfully operate firearms, to beat the Yuan people back to the deserted place in Mobei to herd sheep. Besides, she really wants a scholar who is both civil and military, not a powerless scholar.
"Then you can't sigh like that. You know, if your brothers and subordinates always look at it like this, it won't be good, and they won't trust you so much. ”
"How can I not know this? It's just that you can be happy when you do this thing you hate all day long, what do you say? ”
In the final analysis, it turned out that the work was boring and boring, and I just wanted something to adjust and adjust to make life interesting.
"The slave family heard that there was chaos in the north, and the Yuan people were in a civil war, right?" Jia Ling said with a sly smile.
Looking at Jia Ling is like looking at a little monster, I can't help but secretly sigh that she is from a big family, and she can really know everything about the world without leaving home.
"Yes. The Yuan people who attacked Sichuan withdrew from Qishan to the Central Plains, and Yu Yu was pursuing, according to this situation, it seems that there is an idea of reviving the Yuan Mansion (Hanzhong, Shaanxi) in the north. Shi Bin's words revealed envy, as if he hoped that it would be him Shi Bin who led the troops north this time.
"Husband really thinks so? Haven't you fought a battle in Dingzhou before, why do you still have to fight? Your violent spirit is too heavy. Jia Ling pretended to be surprised and said.
Because he only thought of going north of Tanzhou City, he didn't hear the meaning of Jia Ling's words to tease him at all, and still replied honestly: "It's not that he is violent, it's a rare opportunity, and there are too few opportunities for the imperial court to let the generals go north to take the initiative." Husband, I am reluctant to give this opportunity to attack the Yuan people to test the army. ”
Indeed, the Song court is too weak, thinking about a corner of peace, and there are too few opportunities for the generals to take the initiative, and they almost negotiate peace after winning once, this kind of opportunity can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"The slave family has three strategies here, which should be able to help the husband solve this unhappiness."
Jia Ling has always been very smart, she said that if there is a way, then this method will probably be useful, even if it is not feasible, it can be used as a reference, Shi Bin immediately asked her to say it.
"The best strategy is to immediately set off with the whole army, go to Dingzhou to catch up with Lord Yu, and ask my father for grain and grass while raising grain and grass from the counties along the road, without waiting for my father's official document to send troops, to give Lord Yu a prelude; The middle strategy is to immediately set out for Ezhou with the whole army, and at the same time send a post guard to my father to ask for an official document to send troops and ask him to help you prepare grain and grass; The next strategy is to raise troops and food in Tanzhou, and then set off after my father's official document on sending troops arrived. ”
What a crazy girl, Shi Bin sighed vigorously in his heart, saying that sending troops is as simple as an outing, neither the upper strategy nor the middle strategy sent troops to the official document, if someone reported it to Song Ting, wouldn't he die without a place to be buried, it is estimated that even Jia Rudao's sister who was a concubine would have to be implicated.
In order to be foolproof, Shi Bin did not express his position immediately, but asked Yu Jue's personality and his relationship with Jia Yidao.
"Husband, Lord Yu is an upright person, not an old-fashioned person, although he has some different political views from his father, he should not take advantage of this to fight against the Yuan people. He praised you more than once in your fight against the Yuan people, and later lamented that you abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and the Song court lost a tiger general. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Shi Bin was greatly relieved, and he felt fluttering again, and getting praise from Shangfeng is always a happy thing for his subordinates.
If what Jia Ling said was right, then Shi Bin would act according to what she said, no matter what official documents and grain and grass were sent to Chongqing, he would directly lead the troops to Chongqing, and then act when he arrived at Yu Jue.
He didn't like this situation of being slaughtered by others, but he wanted to join the war as soon as possible, and he was afraid that the battle would be over if he was too late, although it was probably impossible. But he also didn't want to miss the big battle, although he couldn't afford it either.
was stunned and thought about nearly half a pillar of incense, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and Jia Ling didn't say anything, just sat on the side and watched him stunned.
After Shi Bin was no longer stunned, Jia Ling smiled slyly, "The slave family has a better way to deal with it." ”
Nodding affirmatively, "There is a way, but I still need my think tank staff officer." After speaking, he smiled and made a fist salute to Jia Ling.
Jia Ling also replied with a fake smile: "The think tank is exempt, there are just some little talents." ”
"Don't we have three hundred cavalry? I think we can use these three hundred as the vanguard, and go to Yu Jue to test his attitude, if he is willing to let us go to war, it will be fine, if not, it will be fine. The transfer of only 300 soldiers and horses should be nothing, and with my father's official document on sending troops, it will be fine. ”
Hearing this, Jia Ling's eyes flashed and she immediately said loudly: "Good plan!" Just after speaking, Jia Ling said meaningfully: "However, these three hundred cavalry are not as good as three hundred infantry, and even my father may not be able to withstand it..." What's more, there is also a Zheng Qingzhi waiting to stumble! ”
300 soldiers and horses, even if they are cavalry, what can't they bear? You must know that today's Jia Rudao is the envoy of the Jinghu system, the envoy of the Jiangling Mansion and the envoy of Kui Lu, and the envoy of the Jinghu Tuntian, the highest governor of the entire Jinghu region, and it will definitely not be a problem to mobilize this bit of people.
Then he looked at Jia Ling suspiciously, but saw that she was full of smiles, not the sad face she imagined.
After thinking about it, I immediately understood the meaning of Jia Ling's words, and it seemed that she was asking for a debt.
"Madam, this time it's not to suppress bandits, but to fight with the Yuan people. Where can the Yuan people be compared to those rebels? What's more, Sai Xishi went to Dingzhou with me, but he didn't go to the battlefield at all, just waving his flag and shouting on the side to be a staff officer. Although he knew that most of these words were useless, Shi Bin still held on to the hope of what happened, and persuaded very softly.
The barbaric lady didn't care about this, and said with a cold snort: "You are also a seven-foot man, a spit and a pit, I don't care if she goes to the battlefield or not, anyway, it's my turn this time." If you don't let me go, then don't even think about getting my father's official document to send troops! Take your men and be thieves! ”
Of course, she knew that this was Jia Ling's angry words, she definitely couldn't do such a ruthless thing, but Shi Bin didn't want to appear too favoritistic, it was really bad if Sai Xishi could go and she couldn't go.
"Okay, you can go. But you have to go with us in the army, like last time, and you can't participate in cavalry battles. After thinking about it, he finally compromised
"Isn't that just an outing?"
"Sai Xi Shi is also an outing, and it is much less dangerous. You can already make a lot of money by participating in such a dangerous outing, don't be satisfied, if you are too dissatisfied, you really don't go! Shi Bin pretended to be angry and said.
Looking at Shi Bin's face, he knew that he was also pretending to be angry, but Jia Ling didn't want to make it true, since Shi Bin was willing to take a step back, she herself would also take a step back, so she agreed very obediently, "Okay, if I really go to Yu Jue's army, I will definitely not run around in the Chinese army, let alone run around with your cavalry, and put yourself in danger to make you worry." ”
Naturally, neither of them was telling the truth, Shi Bin planned to hand over Jia Ling to Yu Jue for 'protection' when he arrived at Yu Jue, but in fact, he was under house arrest and came out every day to let off steam. Jia Ling planned to go to Yu Jue, then she continued to use Jia Rudao's official document to send troops to continue to coerce Shi Bin to listen to her.
So I went to Jia Rudao to ask for an official document, it was no one else, but the Jia family general who came with Jia Ling.
This is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, can Shi Binyan see it? But let Jia seem to say the official document first, it's a big deal to rob the official document in the camp and take it into his own hands.
Naturally, this matter could not be concealed from his brothers and Sai Xishi, and Shi Bin had to tell them about his and Jia Ling's plans, and several people naturally agreed very much, and Sai Xishi was a little unhappy, but fortunately, she was also a reasonable person, but she stopped making a noise after complaining one or two.
However, in order to ensure his rights, Sai Xishi put forward a condition: if she and Jia Ling go on the expedition in the future, she and Jia Ling will take turns, and no one can break this rule.
Shi Bin, who didn't want to be complicated, also said that a bowl of water was even, and took great pains to persuade Jia Ling to accept this condition.
After several deliberations, it was decided to send a battalion of cavalry and five battalions of infantry to join the battle, separated by two days, so as to find a way out.
"Big brother, there is a small problem in the middle, the grain and grass of the cavalry vanguard is very simple, and the states and counties along the way will definitely support it. However, the team of people behind it is estimated that they can only ask Lord Jia to help in person. And there is also a special point in this, if you want to march quickly, you have to send a document directly to the states and counties. Wang San said with a smile.
It turned out that with this strategy, it was necessary not only to send troops, but also to ask for official documents supported by grain and grass from various counties, and Shi Bin had to admit that this official was quite difficult to be an official. Although it is not difficult to do this now, if there is no Jia Yidao as a backer, you must consider it, otherwise you will lose all the games if you accidentally lose the whole game, and it is really good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree.
When the time comes, 300 cavalry will go to the front, and 1,500 infantry will be stuck on the road because of lack of food, which is a big joke.
