Chapter 452: Demolition

Today's Uncle Xie Fang has 'Shi Bin's gun phobia', Shi Bin, Zhao Kui and Li Fu are all happy from the bottom of their hearts. Because as long as there is Shi Bin, Uncle Xie Fang will not dare to be presumptuous, and he will not even have the ability to express himself normally. As a result, Li Zong finally had to send him to Quanzhou to be the governor, and three of the four people at the top decision-making level were actively anti-Yuan.

Although Li Zong did not really want to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, he had great confidence in the Northern Expedition after the military exercises, at least he no longer wanted to blindly seek peace.

In his heart, he really wanted to enter Shaanxi immediately, but Shi Bin understood that this matter was urgent, and there had to be a careful deployment, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was weak and could not withstand several defeats. If there is a big defeat, I am afraid that I will have to cede the land and pay compensation to sue for peace, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. And he and his men will have to lose a lot of power, and the good situation will be gone.

Therefore, within ten days after the exercise, Shi Bin did not mention a word about sending troops to the Northern Expedition, even if there were people in the court who were red-faced, he just listened quietly to see if there was anything desirable, but he never spoke.

This reaction surprised the rest of the main battle faction, and it must be known that the military exercise was proposed and presided over by Shi Bin. As a result, after the exercise, Li Zong supported the Northern Expedition, but he no longer cared about the Northern Expedition, and the situation was a little strange.

In this regard, Li Zong was also very surprised. The military exercise was obviously carried out by Shi Bin in order to persuade him of the Northern Expedition, but why did he ignore it after only ten days?

Of course, he couldn't let Shi Bin come and play him, so he sent Dong Songchen to ask the reason. Shi Bin said very calmly: You need to plan closely, and then tell Li Zong after thinking clearly.

"Xu Feng, what do you think Li Zong will be like now?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"I should be a little anxious and angry, thinking that the adults are playing tricks on him."

"It should be, and it did play him, but the main thing is to plan for the future. What do you think of my strategy? Shi Bin asked again.

"My lord thought about it very carefully, one way from Xi'an to seize Yan'an, the other way from Sanmenxia to seize the bridgehead of Yuncheng, so that the advance can be attacked, retreated and defended, even if the attack is blocked, there will be no major incident. It's just..."

"Just what? Maybe we have to talk to Zhao Zaifu and Li Shumi first, and it's better to be safe. ”

Ventilation with Zhao Kui and Li Fu? Shi Bin doesn't think it's necessary, the two of them are obviously the main battle faction, especially Zhao Kui's enthusiasm is the highest, although Li Fu's enthusiasm is not so high, but he will definitely not stop the recovery of his homeland. Therefore, he did not adopt Xu Feng's opinion, and did not first tell Zhao Kui and Li Fu his plans to enter the palace alone.

Seeing Shi Bin's arrival, Li Zong was very happy, and asked about the Northern Expedition as soon as he opened his mouth. Shi Bin knew that Li Zong was already in a little anxious, so he didn't deliberately drag it out, and simply said the plan.

Shi Bin's plan was not unexpected, but he was very unhappy. Because Shi Bin thinks that it is most appropriate for the commander of Xi'an Road to use Wang San, and Zhengzhou Road is the most suitable to use Lu Wende.

Knowing that this is the best match, but Li Zong just doesn't want Shi Bin's people to make new contributions, Shi Bin's growing power is what he hates and fears the most.

Therefore, after listening to Shi Bin's proposal, Li Zong was silent, and on the surface he pretended to be seriously thinking. Of course, this situation will not last long, and it will have to be made a statement, or simply said that it will be discussed later.

So he left the study under the pretext of being breathable, but left Shi Bin, who also wanted to breathe, in the study, and asked him to sit and rest, it was not good to stand for a long time. As soon as he went out, he had to follow Dong beside him

Song Chen immediately went out of the palace to bring Zhao Kui and Li Fu into the palace. Dong Songchen understood what Li Zong meant, and immediately rushed away.

After taking a breath, Li Zong returned to the study and said that he was a little tired and wanted to rest, and asked Shi Bin to rest and rest, and wait for Zhao Kui and Li Fu to come and then discuss.

It turned out that he was embarrassed to announce that Zhao Kui and Li Fu had entered the palace directly in front of him, and they had just gone out to breathe and did this dirty thing, Shi Bin secretly scolded Li Zong for being shameless. But there is no choice but to accept the facts and rest together.

But Shi Bin was not in a hurry, because he didn't think that Li Zong could persuade Zhao Kui and Li Fu to change his proposal, because this was the best match. If you want to change it, unless you change Wang San or Lu Wende to him Shi Bin, but this kind of stupid thing Li Zong will never do, so he is full of confidence.

It didn't take long for Zhao Kui and Li Fu to come, and Li Zong seemed to see a life-saving straw, and couldn't wait to inform the two of them about Shi Bin's strategy.

When Li Fu was still bowing his head and pondering, Zhao Kui didn't think about it, but he didn't want to directly say that it was not a question who the commander of the two route armies was, and the most important thing was that he must not enter the army now.

never thought that Li Fu had not yet expressed his position, but Zhao Kui came to dismantle the stage, and Shi Bin was so angry that he hated that he couldn't eat Zhao Kui raw.

Obviously anticipating Shi Bin's reaction, Zhao Kui didn't care, but said very calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees very much with the Northern Expedition. The reason why I don't agree with the current Northern Expedition is because there is a shortage of food and wages. Crossing the Yellow River is almost a flat river, and if there is not enough food and wages, it will not be able to support a large-scale war. If you want to fight, you must at least take back all the Hedong Road, if you only occupy a few prefectures and counties, it is meaningless to waste money and food. ”

I have to admit that Zhao Kui is reasonable, but Shi Bin does not give up, even if it is just for the sake of face, he has to say two sentences. "Lord Zhao is reasonable, but now that the Yuan people are in internal and external difficulties, although we are short of food, we can also raise money while fighting. It's good not to send so many soldiers and horses, not to mention how can it be said that retaking a few states and counties is a waste of money and food, and it is meaningless? Shi thought that it would be a victory to stick nails on the territory of the Yuan people and let the former Song people know that the court still remembered them. ”

After saying this, Shi Bin set his eyes on Li Fu, hoping that he would give him support, but he didn't think that Li Fu decided not to help anyone, just to be a spectator.

So Shi Bin and Zhao Kui had a verbal battle, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and no one obeyed anyone. Gradually, Li Zong and Li Fu were disgusted. Eventually, Rijong lost his temper and threw all three of them out of the study.

No one will be happy with such an ending, the most angry is naturally Shi Bin, followed by Li Fu, who was wronged, Zhao Kui doesn't care.

I wanted to ignore Zhao Kui again, but Shi Bin understood that it was impossible. Without Zhao Kui's support, his attack might be forced to stop at any time, so he could be silent for a while and move forward with his head down. Several times, I wanted to ask Zhao Kui why immediately, but when I saw Li Fu on the side, I had to press it down. can only plan to wait for Li Fu to leave and then go to Zhao Kui.

The three of them ignored who walked out of the palace gate and went back to their homes. And Shi Bin turned around and went to Zhao's Mansion on the way back to the house, and entered through the side door in case others saw it.

As soon as he heard that Shi Bin was coming, Zhao Kui immediately knew that he was coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt. Therefore, he was also very careful to entertain Shi Bin.

Shi Bin didn't want to miss this, and roared angrily: "Zhao Kui, what do you mean? I finally convinced Li Zong that the Northern Expedition would win, and let Uncle Xie Fang's old puppet leave the Jingshi, but you came out to dismantle the stage at this time, what do you mean? ”

"Lord Shi, Zhao's meaning is very clear, that is, to wait until enough food and salary are raised before sending troops, so that the Northern Expedition can have a greater chance of victory." Zhao Kui said.

"Then why didn't you tell me your attitude earlier?" Shi Bin asked viciously.

"Mine

Attitude? What did Lord Shi say, wasn't my attitude to support the Northern Expedition? ”

Zhao Kui's attitude was to support the Northern Expedition? After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin really couldn't pick a thorn, his attitude was to support the Northern Expedition, and he had saved himself a few times.

After calming down, I recalled what Zhao Kui said before that he 'disagrees with the current Northern Expedition'. After thinking about it again, Xu Feng wanted to communicate with Zhao Kui and Li Fu first, but it was his own stubbornness and failure to adopt the suggestion that led to this embarrassing situation.

Shi Bin's momentum couldn't help but weaken, but he still couldn't tolerate Zhao Kui demolishing his platform in front of Li Zong and embarrassing himself.

"Lord Shi, Zhao knows why you are so angry, but it is actually good for everyone for me to do this." Zhao Kui said with a smile.

Good for everyone? Looking at Zhao Kui's cunning old face, Shi Bin had the urge to rush up and slap him, but he held back. After all, Zhao Kui is a veteran, very wise, and needs his support, so he can only win over and not offend.

"Lord Shi doesn't understand why I dismantled your platform so much in front of the emperor? Let's tell you why. Zhao Kui said with a smile: "First, your nomination of a military general is very inappropriate, and I can't think of a remedy, so I must not support it." Once we support it, the emperor will think that we are friends, and it will be difficult to do things in the future. This kind of thing is too sensitive, and I don't want to solve it by and mud. ”

Shi Bin coughed lightly after hearing this, and remained silent.

"Second, today's empty treasury is really not suitable for large-scale military use. You can consider using troops on a small scale. Zhao Kui continued, "Third, we are not very clear about the current specific situation of the Yuan people, so it is better to observe for a few more days and be safe." What's more, you also saw that Lord Li Fu did not express his position there, which shows that he is not very active. ”

Isn't it all caused by the demolition of the stage by you old guy? Shi Bin sneered.

"Lord Zhao means that you will enter the army when the food and salary are sufficient?" Shi Bin asked.

"Yes, but there is one more condition."

"Conditions?" Are there still conditions for entering the army? Shi Bin was puzzled.

"Li Fu, as long as he doesn't object, it's fine, but you must change the list of commanders of the march, otherwise I won't support it." Zhao Kui said very firmly.

is really a loyal servant of the Zhao family, always thinking about Li Zong, for fear that the Zhao family will be usurped. According to Zhao Kui's current attitude, Shi Bin knew that there was no need to discuss, if he wanted to expand the territory, he had to lay the ground first, and then make plans for the rest. It is no longer possible to occupy a state or a capital in the country.

I had to say: "Okay, I agree to change the list, but I must not change it blindly, otherwise I will not even agree to send troops." ”

Originally, he just wanted to curb Shi Bin's excessive power, where would one of his loyal ministers change the list indiscriminately and make the Great Song Dynasty suffer? said that as long as there are two more generals who can still be in charge and are not the same as Shi Bin and Lu Wende.

On the surface, of course, you can't show unhappiness, but you can't be happy, you just nod your head vigorously and say, 'Reasonable, reasonable', very stiff. But in his heart, he greeted Zhao Kui's eighteenth generation ancestors.

After discussion, the two decided to nominate Wang San and Chen Yan as the chief and deputy commanders of Xi'an 1st Road, and Lu Wende and Wang Lixin as the chief and deputy commanders of Sanmenxia 1st Road. As for the prison army, neither of them intends to set it up, and they will persuade Li Zong not to set it up.
