Chapter 714: Handover to the Dead Country

The method of sending hostages has existed since ancient times, and the delivery address is deeply influenced by Chinese culture and believes that 'unfilial piety is the greatest', so it is a very safe way to ask the Marquis of Taiyuan to send his son as a hostage.

However, Shi Bin thought that it was not enough, and said with a smile: "Not only should it be a son but also a son-in-law, only the children born by his wife in the main room will be counted, and those concubines will not count." ”

"Fight the snake and hit the seven inches, the marshal said very much, it should be Taiyuan Hou to send his son-in-law, otherwise forget it, or honestly attack Hanoi." Li Chao nodded and said. The rest of Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Zhou Xunliang also nodded in agreement, and Zhou Xunliang asked for orders to enter the city again to connect with the Marquis of Taiyuan.

"Zhou Xunliang, I'm going to trouble you this time, I'm the first to lose my trust, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of face this time, I'm sorry." Shi Bin said with some embarrassment.

"Dashuai, why do you say this? The reason why you are untrustworthy is for the sake of the overall situation, what is my Zhou Xunliang's face? On your shoulders is the life and death of tens of thousands of troops, and the great goal of destruction and delivery, which is really not to be missed. Zhou Xunliang said solemnly.

Judging from Zhou Xunliang's performance, his words were from the bottom of his heart and not coy, so the people in the tent admired him very much, and Li Chao even secretly gave Shi Bin a look, signaling that Zhou Xunliang could be further wooed.

"I am very relieved that you can understand Ben Shuai so well, then please enter Hanoi City again tomorrow." Shi Bin said.

Zhou Xunliang smiled and received the order, saying that he would send back the news as soon as possible and not let the king of the address suspect.

The night passed quickly, and before Zhou Xunliang had even set off from the camp, the messenger of the Marquis of Taiyuan had already come to the camp and asked Shi Bin why he had lost his trust last night. Of course, you can't be a fool and say that you are worried that the Marquis of Taiyuan will deceive and harm yourself, so Shi Bin can only put the responsibility on Li Chao and others, saying that they don't believe in the empty words of the Marquis of Taiyuan, and they are unwilling to lead the troops to the battle, and they can't ignore the attitude of everyone, so they lose their trust in the Marquis of Taiyuan.

The messenger naturally didn't believe such nonsense, but he also understood why Shi Bin didn't send troops, so he asked, "May I ask how Shi Dashuai is willing to send troops?" ”

"I want your Taiyuan Marquis to send his sister-in-law as a guarantee." Li Chao said on the side.

Unexpectedly, the conditions offered by the generals of the Song army were so harsh, and they actually wanted to send their son-in-law as a hostage, but the messenger immediately refused, saying that it was absolutely impossible.

"If you don't want to, forget it. When the time comes, the city will be burned to the ground, don't blame me Shi Bin for not giving your marquis a chance. I'm sure you can tell that Hanoi can't hold out for long. Shi Bin said very easily.

understood that what Shi Bin said was true, and Taiyuan Hou was indeed not qualified to talk about conditions, so the messenger could only say that he would go back and ask Taiyuan Hou's attitude first and then give a reply. I didn't plan to close this door, but of course Shi Bin agreed. When the messenger saw that Shi Bin agreed, he immediately thanked him, and quickly left the camp and returned to Hanoi.

"Marshal, maybe we should do something more." Xie Qiangbing said.

"What's the matter?"

"The marshal wants Taiyuan Hou to send his son-in-law, will he just send his son-in-law? How can we be sure that it is a concubine, not the son of a concubine, or someone else's son at all? Xie Qiangbing reminded.

This is a big loophole, indeed, if the Marquis of Taiyuan cheated and sent a son born to a concubine or a child who had nothing to do with him at all, wouldn't Shi Bin be tricked? Wouldn't Taiyuan Hou still be able to turn back on the water at any time?

"Xie Qiangbing, you have a good question. Is there any way you can make sure we don't get fooled by that Taiyuan Marquis? ”

"Dashuai, the last general thinks that we must immediately send someone to follow the messenger into the city, understand and observe the situation of the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion, and definitely don't be afraid to spend money. Fortunately, now that the two sides are in truce, Hanoi City can enter and exit freely, and as long as there are not many people and cautious behavior, it will not be detected. ”

Agreeing with Xie Qiangbing's suggestion, Shi Bin immediately sent five soldiers who knew how to communicate with the address, disguised as a transaction addresser, and infiltrated Hanoi City with 5,000 Jiaozi.

"Dashuai, will there be a lot of five thousand jiaozi?" Zhou Xunliang had never followed Shi Bin, he didn't know his style of doing things, and he asked very painfully when he saw that the five thousand Jiaozi were taken out like this.

Seeing that it was Zhou Xunliang who asked, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Zhou Xunliang, Xie Qiangbing just said that there is a gift to get, although the address is remote, but the five people went to the Hou Mansion, not an ordinary family, the people there have seen the world, how can they buy it if they don't spend a lot of money?" ”

Zhou Xunliang actually understands the reason, but it's still a pity that such a large amount of money is smashed like this, and I feel that Shi Bin doesn't know how to be thrifty.

"Zhou Xunliang, don't you feel like a fortune boy?" Shi Bin smiled, "You said that if I break this Hanoi City, whose things will be in this city?" Who will the five thousand taels of Jiaozi be? Have you forgotten that we have discussed before that this Taiyuan Marquis must die? ”

At this time, Zhou Xunliang understood why Shi Bin was so generous, just because the money would finally return to Shi Bin's hands after turning around.

"Handsome and wise!" Zhou Xunliang immediately clasped his fists and praised.

Not long after, two pieces of news came from Shi Bin's subordinates: the Marquis of Taiyuan ordered his subordinates to buy a handsome boy from a poor family, and asked someone to teach him various etiquette. He himself hurried into the palace to see the king.

After getting these two news, everyone immediately cast admiring glances at Shi Bin and Xie Qiangbing. Because from here, it can be seen that the Taiyuan Marquis's desire to 'usurp the throne' is false nine times out of ten, and it is just a trap set by the addresser, and the peace talks are even less credible.

"Hehe, it seems that the person who handed over the address is not stupid. I'm going to give me a turtle in an urn to boost their morale. Shi Bin smiled.

"It's really not stupid, if it weren't for the great handsomeness and prudence, I'm afraid that my Great Song would have lost thousands of elites." Wang Jian said.

"So what to do? Do you want to take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack suddenly or do you think of something else? ”

"Dashuai, since the person who handed over the address is my hypocrisy and wrongdoing, then their defense must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and I am afraid it will be difficult for us to catch them off guard."

Li Chao is reasonable. Sir, we should find another way. Xiang Shibi said.

"What's the best way? To adults? ”

"Dashuai, the end will be that we can calculate, since the addresser wants us to win, then we will win." Xiang Shibi smiled slyly.

The people present are all smart people, and they have all been on the battlefield for a long time, and they all know the ins and outs of the matter, so they can understand it as soon as they hear it.

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Xiang Lord's method is good, we can do it." It's just that after opening the city gate, you have to go in with all your might, and you can't get entangled at the city gate, so you will be driven out sooner or later. The task of guarding the captured gates will be left to the follow-up troops. ”

"What Lord Wang said is true, we must also have ambush soldiers at each city gate to deal with it, so as to share the pressure of the city soldiers." Li Chao said.

"Okay, let's do a plan." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Ben Shuai wants to see what kind of bitterness the king of the address is after I broke Hanoi!" ”

Three days later, the messenger sent the Taiyuan Hou's 'son-in-law' to the camp as a hostage, Shi Bin and others also pretended to 'verify', Shi Bin even asked the messenger to bring back the news, 'Three days later, at midnight, Shi Bin personally led the army to attack the east city gate, and the two sides raised fire. ’

After the messenger left, Li Chao and the others immediately stopped Shi Bin from personally leading the army to attack the east gate of Hanoi.

"I know that you will stop me from rushing to the front line, and now that my life is very expensive, I don't want to rush to the front line." Shi Bin smiled, and then said, "But there is one thing you must agree to, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of military orders." That's where I have to go and watch the fight. ”

understands why Shi Bin has such a request, just because if it wasn't for Shi Bin's vigilance last time, thousands of elite Song soldiers have already died under the city of Hanoi, so everyone had to agree.

Anyway, there are still three days, and everything is done by his subordinates, and Shi Bin wants to talk to the little guy when he has nothing to do. In the end, he came from a poor family, and although he was smart and learned etiquette well, the fear in his heart was still expressed in his eyes.

"Little one, how old are you?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Ten years old."

"You're not the son of the Marquis of Taiyuan, are you?"

"Yes." The child said tremblingly.

"I know you're not, but I'm not going to kill you. I just want to ask you how the Marquis of Taiyuan is doing. ”

The child didn't have much social experience, and when he saw that he had seen through it, he simply admitted it, and said: "Taiyuan Hou has a bad reputation and often takes it by force. I was robbed from home by the Marquis of Taiyuan. He also threatened to kill my whole family if I didn't obey. ”

Shi Bin scoffed at Taiyuan Hou's behavior. Buying a child is too easy for the wealthy Taiyuan Hou, but he didn't expect him to be so stingy that he was unwilling to even give out so many taels of silver.

"Child, do you know anything else about the Hou family in Taiyuan? If you tell me, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver. As he spoke, Shi Bin took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "Well, these five taels are considered an advance payment." ”

"My lord, I vaguely heard them say that they will concentrate half of the soldiers and horses in the city to attack you. As for how to attack, I don't know. ”

Shi Bin, who learned the news, was overjoyed and immediately ordered Xu Feng to take the little guy to eat dumplings, and the little guy also went with a smile. Hearing the drums outside the tent, Li Chao and the others immediately went to the tent. When he saw Shi Bin with a happy face, he immediately understood that there was something very good.

"Dashuai, what's the good thing?" Li Chao asked with a smile.

"Guess what I got from that little guy?"

"What can you ask from that little one? Isn't it just a stand-in? Xie Qiangbing said disapprovingly.

"The little guy told me that he was robbed from home by Taiyuan Hou, not bought, and was threatened, so he hated Taiyuan Hou very much. Moreover, he told me that the Marquis of Taiyuan would concentrate half of the troops and horses in the city to ambush us. After speaking, Shi Bin laughed wildly, "God really helps me!" ”

"The ancients said, 'Do not live if you do your own evil'!" Li Chao said with a smile, "I really didn't expect a child to provide such important news, and the handsome man is really blessed." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to change our offensive plans. Since the Marquis of Taiyuan wants to concentrate half of his troops and horses to ambush us in the city, then we don't have to make any feints, give me all the strength to attack the four city gates, and I will take Hanoi City down in one go! Shi Bin smiled.

"Dashuai, do we still have to leave an opening? If we force them to the point where there is really no way to escape, I am afraid that they will fight against the water, and our casualties will be not small. Wang Jian reminded.

I thought that Shi Bin would agree with Wang Jian's opinion, but I didn't expect Shi Bin to disagree, but said that he would bring the powerful people who handed over the address to the pot and not let anyone slip through the net. Since Shi Bin's attitude of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was very firm, of course everyone did not dare to object, so they acted according to his orders.

Three days later, the city of Hanoi was broken, the Tran dynasty was destroyed, and the country was handed over.
