Chapter 466: Occupy Taiyuan (3)

This time, Shi Bin also put on a white face, without the previous amiability, and when he went out of the city, he scolded the guards at the east city gate for being blind and didn't even know the commander of the army, and he actually dared to check the commander's token. Xu Feng added his fists and kicks, so that the guards at the city gate dared not speak out.

found that he had stopped the wrong person, and the city gate guards had nowhere to say if they were wronged, the only thing they could do was to retreat to the side in fear and not provoke such a bad god as Shi Bin. When he returned to the city, Shi Bin changed into a set of clothes and wore a hat, and the city gate guards did not see that he was scolded again. And Shi Bin took this opportunity to replace all the guards at the East City Gate with his own people.

Of course, this news quickly spread to Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi. The two are also old fritters in officialdom, seeing that Shi Bin is so obsessed with holding the control of a city gate, because he doesn't want to turn his face with him so soon, he has to continue to ignore and pretend not to know. Who told them to ask Shi Bin and want to follow him to earn more credit for his wife and son?

The city gate has been mastered, at least it can ensure that his subordinates will not become turtles in the urn, and Shi Bin feels a lot more comfortable. But he was still unwilling, because there were too few of his own men and horses left in the city to fully control Taiyuan.

The difficult situation of returning from the north to Lin'an and the important officials of the Li Sect was vividly vivid, so Shi Bin had already decided in his heart to leave some people in a city, even if he could not fully grasp it, he had the ability to intervene. And important cities must be under their control.

Time is running out, if you can't think of a good way to leave more people in the city now, and then you want to get some people into Taiyuan, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

In fact, Shi Bin is not so obsessed with a Taiyuan City, just to fight for a breath, a breath to make himself comfortable and let Li Zong suffocate. So before leaving Taiyuan, Shi Bin never planned to give up.

As Shi Bin's chief of guard, following Shi Bin all the year round, Xu Feng certainly understands what Shi Bin is thinking now, and knows that Shi Bin is now squeezing out the smile on his face.

"My lord, are you thinking about how we can keep more people in this Taiyuan City?"

"What do you say?" Shi Bin smiled, "Of course it is." If there weren't so many people and horses, would this Taiyuan City be in my hands? Can Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's gang of wastes stand this Taiyuan City alone? I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter this Taiyuan City again, and I'm afraid that Taiyuan City will be lost again. ”

Hearing Shi Bin's words, Xu Feng was both happy and worried, happy because Shi Bin had obviously made up his mind to seize control of Taiyuan, and was worried that he would act too aggressively and turn against Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi.

"Don't worry, I won't fall out with them." Shi Bin smiled again, "But you have to find a way for me quickly, if you don't think of a good way before leaving, I'm afraid you can only use obscene tricks like seizing the city gate." ”

understands the meaning of Shi Bin's 'obscene tricks', which is nothing more than playing tricks and playing hob meat. But it did have a very bad impact on Shi Bin's image, so Xu Feng immediately stopped talking and thought about the problem wholeheartedly.

Shi Bin's logical thinking is not strong, but it is actually very weak, that is, he has some reasoning ability. Strong is a leap-thinking mindset, so what he likes most is to wander around, get all kinds of information to stimulate inspiration and finally find a solution to a problem.

So when he didn't think of how to bury more shadows in the city, he didn't go back to the Shuai's Mansion to rest, but rested by walking around. What's more, doing so can also put on the aura of 'sympathy for the people'.

It's a pity that there is not much compassion

Hisaishi Bin was in no mood, because he was devastated and full of ruins. The city's granary still smells of burnt grain. On the side of the road, many innocent people were crying bitterly, and many wounded soldiers were wailing.

"Xu Feng, you said that I ordered the grain to be burned before, right?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin suddenly thought of asking this question, and Xu Feng subconsciously replied: "It's a little cruel, but it's still correct." ”

As soon as the words came out, Xu Feng regretted it, what does this mean by being 'a little cruel'? Isn't that the 'a little cruel' in front of you? But it's really cruel, and it's far from a little.

Before Shi Bin could speak, Xu Feng immediately said again: "My lord, there will be gains and losses. If there was no sacrifice, Taiyuan City would not have been able to be taken so quickly, and the Yuan people would have harmed more Li people. ”

"But it shouldn't be the people who pay the sacrifice, it's us soldiers with weapons, it's me who is selfish." Shi Bin said guiltily, "The responsibility of the person who holds the weapon is to protect the common people, and sacrificing innocent people in order to preserve their strength is of course very despicable, very evil and selfish." ”

Of course, Shi Bin must not be allowed to become a thinker, Xu Feng immediately talked about his exploits without hesitation after discovering that something was wrong. He also repeatedly emphasized that 'no one can do anything wrong if he is not a sage' and 'knowing mistakes can improve the greatest'. In short, it is to help Shi Bin get rid of the whirlpool of self-blame, and also to leave more benefits for himself and Wang San.

Why did Xu Feng say this Shi Bin's heart was like a mirror, in order to reassure Xu Feng, he said: "Don't worry, I don't mean to sacrifice my brothers, but I just feel a little emotional, I just hope that there will be fewer innocent people killed in the future war." In fact, regardless of the Song and Yuan dynasties, ordinary soldiers were the most pitiful, so I also hope that I will not see their casualties reported again. ”

Of course, such a good wish cannot be achieved, but Xu Feng doesn't care, he just needs Shi Bin not to sacrifice the lives of his brothers indiscriminately.

Along the way, Shi Bin was not comfortable, and finally felt that he had to change places if he couldn't go like this, so he took Xu Feng and a few guards out of the city again. Although the horseback riding was a little tiring, the refreshing wind still made people feel comfortable and tight. It didn't take long for Shi Bin to no longer feel depressed and guilty. Slowly chatted with Xu Feng without a word.

Looking at the deserted fields and uninhabited villages everywhere, Xu Feng seemed to think of something. Shi Bin quickly saw Xu Feng's abnormality and asked why.

"My lord, it's nothing to be lowly, I just feel that the fields and villages in front of me are somewhat familiar."

Somewhat familiar? Nowadays, there is such a scene everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, where can you not be familiar? Shi Bin couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous at Xu Feng's words.

knew that Shi Bin would definitely misunderstand himself, but Xu Feng couldn't say that feeling, so he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva with an anxious face. This reaction surprised Shi Bin, could it be that there was something else? Or is there something deeper that Xu Feng vaguely feels but can't say?

Shi Bin often has this feeling, but it will be fleeting, and if it is captured, it will have great benefits in many cases, and it is an unexpected benefit. The question is, what good can this place be? So he said casually: "Xu Feng, you said that you are very familiar with this scenery, and I am also familiar with it, but this deserted place is not good for us." I just saw a few homeless people and a few broken thatched huts scattered around. ”

As he spoke, Shi Bin also felt that he had captured something, maybe his jumping thinking was stronger than Xu Feng, and he came up with the answer after thinking about it.

"Xu Feng, do you want to say that these deserted places are borderless land, and we can send someone to occupy them?" Shi Bin smiled slightly.

As soon as he heard this, Xu Feng was like being beaten with chicken blood, and immediately danced with his hands and feet, and laughed loudly: "My lord is really powerful, and this is what it means to be humble." Why don't we send some of our own people to stay in the city pretending to be residents, if the adults don't want to attract the attention of Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi and don't want to affect the battle, then we will secretly transfer people from Jinghu, Sichuan, and Kuizhou after leaving Taiyuan? ”

"Let the soldiers pretend to be residents?" Shi Bin felt that this method was very good, but it seemed to be a bit wasteful. So he said, "Your solution is okay, but don't you think it's a bit wasteful?" My men are all warriors, and it is a bit insulting to hide in the city and pretend to be the defenders of the city. ”

It must be admitted that Shi Bin's statement is correct, and the warriors he has worked so hard to cultivate are absolutely strong. When these people shrank their heads the turtle is certainly an insult to them. So how do you strike a balance in between?

Xu Feng was also a smart man, he remembered the phrase 'hide the army from the people', and proposed to move some of the residents loyal to Shibin to Taiyuan instead of the army.

Residents loyal to him Shibin? After listening to Xu Feng's words, Shi Bin immediately understood the meaning, and at the same time, he suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile: "The key is not in the soldiers, but in the people, as long as we grasp the hearts of the people in our hands and organize some van troops in them, isn't Taiyuan also mine?" ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Xu Feng immediately said, "But there are still some people who need to be left as guides, who are the right people to stay?" Under the training of adults, it will not mess around, if you are not good at words, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the responsibility. ”

Who should stay? That's a tricky question. The first thing to do is to be absolutely loyal, and there is no room for selfishness, so this kind of person is really hard to find, and there is not enough time to go to the nest to find it.

While thinking carefully, Shi Bin accidentally pressed his hand on the top of the horse's head, and was almost turned upside down by his own mount.

This frightened Xu Feng and the others, and if the coach was injured for this reason, they would die without redemption. One of the timid guards fell to his knees and kowtowed.

Shi Bin couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, but he just comforted the guard vigorously, and said that he was not injured and would not be able to do it.

Injured... Injured... Injured... This word kept spinning in Shi Bin's mind on the way back to the city. Why are you so obsessed with getting hurt? Could it be that he Shi Bin is a masochist? The answer is no.

After entering the city, seeing his subordinates inspecting the wounded soldiers in his team and handing out white-faced steamed buns, Shi Bin smiled slightly, and was a little proud. Looking at the wounded soldiers under Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi not far away, they could only lie on the ground and howl, gnawing on the blackened cakes, and they were a little unbearable.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration Shi Bin thought of a way: "Xu Feng, leave all the people injured in the battle in Taiyuan for me!" And more to win over the wounded soldiers under Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi! ”

Xu Feng was impressed by such a clever plan, and immediately went all out to do it. In the end, even if he slipped while walking, as long as there was a hole in his body, he would leave all of them in Taiyuan City.

What made Shi Bin ecstatic was that there were 7,000 people in this way. Taiyuan City has now undoubtedly fallen into the hands of him Shi Bin.

Although Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi were very puzzled about why there were suddenly so many wounded in Shi Bin's army, they did have injuries, and they were just different. The explanation given by Shi Bin is: Only by ensuring the health of good soldiers can they be better loyal to the country. So even if you have a few minor injuries, you have to heal before you go to war!

Of course, no one dared to overturn such a noble truth, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi had to pinch their noses and admit the situation and accept this fact.
