Chapter 470: Divide the Cake

Offsetting Lu Wenfu's merits and demerits is a method acceptable to everyone. After all, the commanders of the two armies protected Lu Wenfu, and Lu Wenfu did capture Lu Liang City in the end, which can be regarded as the completion of the task. What's more, most of the losses are the people of the Lu family, and Chen Yan, Li Tingzhi, Wang Lixin and Wang Jian simply do a favor.

After defeating Lu Liang, the next step is to take advantage of the strong morale of the army to attack and recover the whole Hedong as soon as possible. But a real problem arises: the cake is so big, and some are not enough. People's hearts are greedy, and those who have not obtained want to get it, and those who have already obtained it want to have more, so the atmosphere in the next council hall immediately became strange and awkward.

The big man in the hall is undoubtedly Shi Bin, and his prestige in the army is unmatched. If it hadn't been for him to support this time, the Song army would probably have to retreat to the front line of Xi'an and Zhengzhou, and the year's struggle would have been in vain.

It was precisely because the combat effectiveness was too strong that Lu Wende and the other five people didn't really want Shi Bin to lead the crowd to attack, because if they did this, Shi Bin would definitely swallow all the credit, and they would be tantamount to coming for an outing. Even if Shi Bin didn't eat alone, those broths really couldn't satisfy the appetite of Lu Wende's five people.

Of course, it is impossible to stupidly say that he will not attack and only be a firefighting team, and let Lu Wende and them grab it, you must know that now is the best time to expand his strength, so Shi Bin is also pretending to be stupid and stunned, 'tasting' a cup of West Lake Longjing.

What to do? Shi Bin secretly said that eating too much meat will cause indigestion, and it would be too stupid not to eat at all. When he was entangled, Xu Feng quietly leaned over to Shi Bin's ear and said softly: Drink more tea.

Drink more tea? Does drinking tea solve the problem? Drinking tea won't solve the problem, of course, but it can have other benefits, at least a temporary break from the oppressive chamber.

After understanding the meaning of Xu Feng's words, it is more appropriate to use 'pouring tea' for the next tea drinking behavior, and Shi Bin drank three pots of tea within a stick of incense. However, he only talked to a few people in the hall about some minor problems in the distribution of spoils of war and the placement of prisoners, and he did it very generously, as long as he ordered the necessary grain and grass.

After the appearance was enough, Shi Bin naturally came to 'pee out', and Xu Feng, the smart head of the guard, also went out.

As soon as he entered Yongdao, Shi Bin said in a hurry: "Next, it must be to go south to capture Yangquan, Shangdang and Jincheng, and then go north to capture Xinzhou, Shuozhou and Datong, the question is how to fight?" The credit for fighting from Yulin to Taiyuan is mine, and Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi just drank a few sips of soup. From crossing the Yellow River to laying down Luliang, Lu Wende won and lost, and a few of them only drank some soup, how to fight these states and counties next? ”

"Your Excellency is very worried, how to take these cities is a bit troublesome. However, he thinks that in the remaining states and counties in Hedong, it is best for us to take Datong, so that although the pressure is greater, it is also beneficial for the north and south to echo. Xu Feng said.

"No, taking Datong is the worst and stupidest." Shi Bin said in an unquestioning tone.

Hearing Shi Bin's tone, Xu Feng immediately realized his mistake. Because once you occupy Datong, it is equivalent to bordering the Yuan people. Yuan people can't hate to crush Shi Bin's bones and scatter ashes, where can he be allowed to show off his power on the side? Therefore, he will do his best to attack Datong and pull out this thorn in his back, and in the end, Shi Bin will definitely lose more than he gains.

"Don't blame yourself, you're just greedy and forget the big picture." Shi Bin smiled and comforted, "But what you said made me think of something." ”

Such a ridiculous suggestion also made Shi Bin think of something, which made Xu Feng feel incredible. Because looking at Shi Bin's appearance, the things he thought of must be very valuable.

"Datong is a city of great strategic significance, known as 'the barrier of Shanxi, the gateway to the north'. If this city is taken, it will be difficult for the Yuan people to make big waves in the east of the river. That's it

It's a great achievement, so several people in the hall must want to get the credit for capturing Datong. Shi Bin smiled slyly.

"Dashuai wants them to fight Datong and let them be our northern barrier?" The more Xu Feng spoke, the more happy he became.

"That's right, presumably they have long been dissatisfied with me for making so much credit, if I get the credit for conquering Datong again, I'm afraid they will be mad, this is not good, I don't want to be the target of the public, so I still have to be a little more restrained and less greedy. What's so bad about letting them be our shields. Shi Bin smiled, looked at Xu Feng's puzzled face, and immediately said: "Of course, you have to master one or two more states and counties in Hedong to echo, but which one is appropriate?" ”

As soon as Shi Bin's words fell, he heard Xu Feng talk about Yangquan.

Yangquan? Shi Bin didn't know much about this city, so he asked Xu Feng why he said that it was best to want Yangquan.

"My lord, Yangquan faces Shijiazhuang across Taihang Mountain in the east, and is the eastern gateway of Sanjin, if you want to take Hebei Road more conveniently, you must control Yangquan, otherwise it is easy to be hindered." Xu Feng said with great certainty.

Xu Feng said that it was reasonable, and his next step was indeed to seize Hebei Road, so he immediately decided to do what Xu Feng said. Talking about this, I suddenly found that this toilet is also long enough to go back. So he ran back to the conference hall as quickly as possible.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by the playful eyes of Lu Wende and the other five people, even Shi Bin, the big guy, was embarrassed because he had a ghost in his heart, and he couldn't care about it. Therefore, he walked with a little obscenity, and his smile was a bit of a smiling taste.

Of course, you can't give up so much interest because of everyone's gaze, and after returning to the main seat, Shi Bin spoke: "Everyone, what we want to discuss next is the most important issue - how to continue to attack the Yuan people and regain my Great Song homeland. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively, and it was no longer so weird and embarrassing. The most clear attitude is Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi, they know that they are not capable enough, and only by following Shi Bin can they get the most benefits without risk, so they said in unison that everything is arranged by Shi Dashuai.

Compared with the monolith on Shi Bin's side, Lu Wende is divided and has its own plans.

Lu Wende's faction sacrificed a lot to keep Lu Wenfu's official position, and they also owed Shi Bin a big favor. Lu Wende, who has never suffered such a loss, will definitely get it back, and of course he will not give the opportunity to earn credit to others. So he said that he would take Lu Wenfu to attack together and atone for his crimes.

Wang Lixin said that Lu Wende was the commander of the army and should be in command rather than leading the crowd to kill, and Lu Wenfu could no longer serve as a striker due to insufficient troops. He, Wang Lixin, has sufficient ability and troops, so he can act as a striker, and let Lu Wende arrange it after he hits Datong.

Wang Jian, a loyal general for the country, said that Shi Bin should be the forward, and all the people in the hall should be sent by Shi Bin. Because in this way, it is possible to ensure the recapture of Hedong Road at the minimum cost.

never expected Wang Jian to be so loyal to the country, regardless of his friends. There are a total of six people in the hall, and now three of them are on his side, Lu Wende owes himself a big favor, and Wang Lixin does not dare to oppose him, isn't this army Shi Bin a word?

He was ecstatic in his heart, but Shi Bin didn't dare to show it, and he was not carried away by this joy, what he talked to Xu Feng outside the door before was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Lord Wang, Lord Chen, Lord Li, do you mean to listen to my arrangement?" Shi Bin asked seriously.

"It's my lord, everything is arranged by the marshal." The three of them replied in unison.

This situation was also unexpected by Lu Wende and Wang Lixin, Wang Lixin didn't care, anyway, he didn't plan to make too many profits, so he still looked harmless to people and animals, but Lu Wende couldn't treat it calmly, and his face slowly darkened.

You don't have to think about it, Shi Bin knows how ugly Lu Wende looks now, and Shi Bin doesn't want to look at his face, which is as black as the bottom of a pot, it's just in his mind

Think about how to 'harmonize' these five people into a combat team, so that they can all get what they want. Even if you can't meet it, don't leave it too far.

So he opened his mouth and asked: "Chen Yan, how do you think we should fight the six prefectures of Xinzhou, Shuozhou, Datong, Yangquan, Shangdang and Jincheng?" Whether to hit south or north first. ”

Chen Yan did not hesitate to say that he would fight south first, because the defenders of Yangquan, Shangdang and Jincheng were not easy to capture, and as long as they worked hard after the capture, they could ensure the safety of the Song army's rear roads and would not fall into the crisis of two-front combat.

Everyone in the hall, including Shi Bin, nodded their heads in agreement with this plan.

"And who will lead the troops?" Shi Bin asked.

Shi Bin's question surprised several people, just now three of the five people clearly supported Shi Bin to ask him to lead the troops, why does Shi Bin not seem to want to lead the troops now?

"Lord Shi, this is... What does this mean? Li Tingzhi asked with some confusion.

"Master Li, what I mean is very simple, that is, to discuss who will carry out the task of attacking the city, and I will command the battalion." Shi Bin said with a smile.

I roughly understood what Shi Bin meant, this is because he doesn't want to fight for merit. But if Shi Bin doesn't fight for merit, he may not contribute, if he is only a spectator, the next battle will definitely be much more difficult, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, the faces of several people in the hall became complicated.

"Don't worry, I'll give you my full back. I've never been in the habit of eating alone, so don't worry. Looking at everyone's obvious disbelief, Shi Bin feigned anger and said, "Do you think I, Shi Bin, am a villain who doesn't believe in his words?" Will I take credit for breaking these small states and counties? ”

Such an anger woke up a few people, indeed, the credit for breaking a few states and counties definitely couldn't get into Shi Bin's eyes. This time, a few people were relieved.

Chen Yan was a cunning guy, and when he heard this, he immediately spoke: "Then let's talk about it, I think it's better for Lord Lu to take his younger brother Lu Wenfu to the front." After several failures, I believe that Lord Lu Wenfu should also know to act cautiously, not to mention that he has also fought for a year, if he can't get any credit, it is a little unreasonable. ”

The people in the audience were still kind and agreed with what Chen Yan said, so they had no objections and just waited for Shi Bin to decide.

Since he is the commander-in-chief, of course, he must have his own opinions, and after thinking about it, Shi Bin agreed with Chen Yan's statement, but made a slight change: he personally led the army to attack Yangquan, and the party was captured by the two brothers of the Lu family. And only give the two brothers of the Lu family half a year, if they don't capture it, they will replace Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi. If the two of them don't capture it within half a year, they will go up with Wang Jian, and Wang Jian will be the main attacker. As for Jincheng, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi were first on the list, followed by the two brothers of the Lu family, and finally himself and Wang Jian. As for Wang Lixin, he first studied as an apprentice.

And said to the five people in the field, "After the south is defeated, I will no longer be at the front, only sitting in the middle army." Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and Datong are completely under your control. Wang Jian's partner was replaced by Lord Wang Lixin. I also asked Lord Wang to take care of Lord Wang, after all, he didn't know much about siege warfare. ”

This is obviously a very good plan. Shi Bin only extended his hand to Yangquan, including Shangdang and Jincheng at most, while he made it clear that he would not have any ideas in the three cities to the north. In fact, Shangdang and Jincheng, no one thinks that they can withstand the attack of the four generals of the Song Army for a year, so they will definitely be broken. In other words, Shi Bin is just making a show and saying a scene, since this is the case, of course everyone agrees with a smile.

At this point, the cake-sharing meeting finally ended peacefully.
