Chapter 616: Preparing to Turn Around
Soon Xu Feng brought back news from everywhere: the troops of those generals who had slandered Shi Bin were now unstable, and the deputy general's bullets could not be suppressed, although they would not mutiny, but now they will definitely not be able to fight again.
Since the matter has reached this point, the situation has been very urgent, Shi Bin naturally planned to organize those rabble, so he ordered Xu Feng to invite those deputy generals to discuss the matter.
Hearing that Shi Bin was going to see them, these lieutenants were all overjoyed, because their intuition told them that there would be a tall man to help them in the falling sky, and maybe the sky would drop pies. Therefore, as soon as they received the news, they all went to Shi Bin's handsome tent one after another.
After several lieutenant generals entered the tent, Shi Bin deliberately lengthened his voice and said: "I heard that your army is now unstable, and the soldiers seem to have no fighting spirit?" ”
It is a great sin for the army to be unstable and for the non-commissioned officers to have no fighting spirit, and if we really want to ask about the crime, the commanders and colonels may be demoted or even removed from their posts. Therefore, everyone was in a cold sweat after hearing Shi Bin's words, and no one dared to speak casually to defend themselves, just for fear of touching the tiger's beard.
"Tell me, why is that? The emperor was very dissatisfied with the current pace of attack and casualties. Shi Bin said angrily. But seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak, although Shi Bin scolded a few people in his heart for being cowardly, he could only relax and say: "Don't worry, the speaker is not guilty, you are not the commander of the army and there is not much sin." ”
"My lord, you know that Kublai Khan is now fighting with Ali Buge, and in order not to make a mistake, he ordered the Yuan people of Hebei East Road to defend the city. We don't have as many firearms as you, and the Yuan people are ferocious, so of course the casualties and the results of the war are naturally very small. In the past, we were willing to send firearms to support, but now that you withdraw these supports, we can only fill with human lives! With such a large number of casualties, how can the morale of the army be stabilized, and where will the soldiers still have the fighting spirit? If it weren't for the help of a doctor sent by the Lord, I am afraid that the army under the humble command would have collapsed long ago. A slightly more daring lieutenant spoke.
"But the war still has to be fought, and your more than 20,000 soldiers and horses can't just eat food and not fight. If so, I am afraid you will be drowned in the spit of your comrades. I can't let others fight and let you sit on the sidelines. ”
"Your Excellency is right, but the ability of a few of us is limited, and we have done our best to control these soldiers from mutiny and dispersal, and it is almost impossible to let them join the battle again. Even if they go to fight, they will just be sent to death, and they will not put much pressure on the Yuan people. The lieutenant added, "So please help us and the poor soldiers." ”
As soon as the lieutenant's words fell, the rest of the people also nodded in agreement. Shi Bin wasn't worried that they would make trouble, because at this time they couldn't make trouble. If this situation continues, they will not be able to escape being held accountable. How can they be willing to lose their power and wealth in such a ridiculous way?
However, Shi Bin did not take the initiative to say his intention to reorganize them, because that would be too philistine and would leave a handle, so he just nodded and 'pondered' silently. Shi Bin can 'meditate', but these generals can't sit still, all of them are restless and restless.
After a long time, everyone could no longer suppress it, and they all discussed what conditions to put forward before Shi Bin was willing to help.
"It's not difficult to stabilize the morale of the army, as long as the soldiers see hope and don't think it's death." Shi Bin laughed
Road.
Let the soldiers see hope, so that they do not think that it is to die? When everyone was still thinking about Shi Bin's words, the deputy general who was the first to answer Shi Bin's question spoke again: "Dashuai, I am willing to lead my subordinates to serve Dashuai." ”
Shi Bin, who heard this, was very happy, he thought that he would have to guide him well, but he didn't expect that there was such a smart person among the people, and he guessed what he was thinking at once. After listening to Xiang Shibi's words, the rest of the people also expressed their willingness to join Shi Bin, and the army completely obeyed Shi Bin's dispatch.
Of course, I want to agree with my mouth, but unfortunately I can't do it, and I have to pretend to excuse it. After going back and forth several times, Shi Bin was also 'compulsively' to accept the surrender to Shibi and others, and arranged for his soldiers to be repaired.
Since Shi Bin was naturally relieved to be relieved to be the puppeteer who splashed dirty water, he planned to go all out on the Northern Expedition again and lay down the entire East Hebei Road as soon as possible.
It's just that because Shi Bin didn't want to spend his strength too much, those firearms soldiers were only used as helpers and did not serve as siege cannon fodder, so the progress was not much faster, but the casualties dropped a lot, and the morale was high again.
This speed of advance made Rizong, who did not know about military affairs, very displeased, because the situation was like a bamboo when he had just entered the army, and now the advance speed was not even half as good as before, and he couldn't help but think that all the generals did not attack with all their strength and were just perfunctory. Naturally, he couldn't stop urging Shi Bin to march quickly.
War is not child's play, it must be planned and then moved, not to mention that the opponent this time is Kublai Khan, who is retracted into a turtle shell and defended it? Therefore, Shi Bin didn't pay attention to Li Zong's urging, and just did what he wanted. In fact, Shi Bin was not satisfied with this kind of attack speed, but in order to ensure better control of the recovered land and reduce unnecessary losses, he could only do so, and even had to be scolded by Li Zong. Perhaps because the interest in fighting had passed and he didn't want to endure this stubbornness anymore, Li Zong's urging of Shi Bin became more and more diligent, and his tone became more and more severe, which made Shi Bin a little unhappy and uneasy.
One day, Shi Bin opened his mouth and said to Jia Ling: "Xiaoling, now Li Zong obviously doesn't want to go on the Northern Expedition anymore, and our Northern Expedition is only missing these last few hard bones, what do you say?" ”
"Naturally, if you want to find a way to get the emperor to support you, you must completely recover Hebei East Road and then stop, there is no reason to give up halfway. If we fail this time, it will be too difficult to find such a good opportunity again. ”
"Of course, but how can we get the emperor to continue to support it? He obviously didn't want to stay any longer, and it was estimated that he would soon announce the withdrawal of his troops. Shi Bin said in distress, "Hebei East Road can't be completely recovered, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun can't be completely recovered." ”
"This emperor is really a waste, he wants to withdraw from the army if he is a little unsatisfactory, and he dared to say that he will not return to the army if he does not return to Hebei East Road, hum!" Sai Xi Shi scolded unceremoniously.
"Husband, in the opinion of the slave family, for the sake of the overall situation, let's send more soldiers to participate in the attack. As long as we take Hebei East Road, after all, it's still ours? Don't let the small be the big one. Jia Ling persuaded.
These words made Shi Bin sober up, so he had to join his other 10,000 elites in the siege battle. In this way, three cities were connected within ten days, and only the last Xiongzhou, Bazhou and Qingzhou were still in the hands of the Yuan people in the entire Hebei East Road.
Li Zong was of course overjoyed when he learned the news, and once again started to continue the northern expedition to take the entire Hebei East Road, and did not plan to return to the south and retreat.
In Shi Bin is happily preparing to continue to sweep the last of the Hebei East Road
When he was a little bit of a remnant, he got another piece of news from Li Zong that he couldn't accept: Li Zong had the idea of changing the commander in battle. asked Shi Bin to hand over the handsome seal, and Wu Qian took over the post of commander. Because Shi Bin is almost unsealable, he can't be allowed to make meritorious contributions anymore.
This time, Shi Bin didn't plan to endure it anymore, but planned to settle the new accounts and old accounts together. asked Xu Feng to invite his two female Zhuge to serve as staff officers. This kind of thing is naturally as soon as possible, and Xu Feng will do it quickly. And seeing Shi Bin sitting in the handsome tent, Jia Ling and the others didn't know how to comfort him, because that appearance could simply eat human flesh.
"Husband, what Xu Feng said is true?" Jia Ling asked tremblingly.
"Yes, the holy decree will come soon, and this news was sent by the little eunuch beside the emperor." Shi Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what should I do?" This time I don't plan to endure it anymore, and I won't make wedding clothes for anyone again! ”
Shi Bin's attitude made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi feel uncomfortable, as if they were strangers instead of being married to him for many years.
"Husband, calm down. Even if you want to break this dilemma, you must have a careful plan, otherwise you will still fail in the end, and you may even shoot yourself in the foot. Sai Xi Shi reminded.
"Don't worry, two ladies, I still have sense, knowing that there are 20,000 forbidden troops around him, and he will not draw a steel knife to split the emperor." Shi Bin smiled calmly, it was the heart of An Jialing and the others, "But I will not allow this old man to be so disrespectful to me again." ”
actually called the emperor 'old horseman', which made the people in the tent all surprised and admired, and they all cast admiring glances at Shi Bin.
"Husband, what are you going to do? You can't hurt him, or something big will happen. Jia Ling said.
"Don't worry, I won't think about hurting him, but I have to think of a good way to keep what we get as soon as possible, and it's best to get out of this bad breath."
It is not easy to think that you can't hurt Li Zong, and you have to protect your residence and vent your evil anger. After Shi Bin finished speaking, there was no sound in the tent immediately, and everyone concentrated on finding a way.
It should have seen that all the people in the tent were not good, and they heard a few words of conversation between Shi Bin and the others, and the guards outside the tent also began to talk to each other. One of the words reached Shi Bin's ears, which made him suddenly brighten up and think of a solution to the problem.
"Well, don't think about it, I've found a way." Shi Bin said with a smile.
However, Shi Bin actually thought of a way to do it after a stick of incense, which made everyone very surprised and very happy, so they asked one after another.
"This is thanks to the two guards outside the tent, because they said, 'Isn't the emperor afraid that the emperor will become Cao Cao, who wears a sword and wears a court?' I remember having this idea myself, and you seem to have it too, but I just didn't think about it for a while. ”
Shi Bin's words also made Jia Ling and the others smile. Indeed, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is the best way. Before in Lin'an, the emperor lived in the palace and it was difficult to move. Now in the camp, even if there are 20,000 palace front division forbidden troops closely guarded, it is easy to be held hostage by Shi Bin, there is no need to make a big move, just use a little trick.
Although I didn't think about how to start, I had found a way, which made Shi Bin and his gang a lot easier. The time to start is quite sufficient, and they are not in a hurry, so Shi Bin and the others simply put aside their unhappiness and become foodies, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.
