Chapter 179: Heading North Again

Since he had negotiated the terms with a group of old slippers, Shi Bin, who thought he was a gentleman, immediately went to the martial arts arena to prepare to receive personnel and equipment.

Although the scouts received this time are not those scouts, they may not have such a strong ability to adapt to emergencies, but they have advantages that ordinary people do not have - many of them have the fierce temperament of Yuan people from the inside out, and they are the best candidates to infiltrate behind enemy lines and cause sabotage.

It must be admitted that Yu Jue has a very good set of leading troops, almost all of his 20,000 descendants are elites, and he originally planned to pick the thorns of the new cavalry on the stage like last time, let them know the advance and retreat, and then make a speech in a bold manner, but they didn't expect that they had already made enough preparations before they came to report, and they made all of Shi Bin's last requirements clear and met, which also made Shi Bin unable to pass this prestige.

Fortunately, Shi Bin was not so impatient to let go of his mouth, and he still swallowed back the evil words that sprayed into his mouth, and immediately changed his face to a smile and a series of praises. Looking at Chen Qianyu standing in the crowd, Shi Bin immediately knew why it was so difficult for the cavalry under the stage to find fault, and smiled slightly, "Chen Qianyu, these are what you told your comrades-in-arms, right?" ”

"Lord Huizhizhou, yes, but not on purpose, it was the villain who told the story of the adult's bravery to the brothers when he just came back, and today coincides with your reconvening, so it will naturally be used."

Of course, Shi Bin didn't believe that Chen Qianyu could predict the future, but being able to change his clothes collectively in such a short period of time shows the high level of combat quality. Although he almost lost face just now, Shi Bin secretly said: I have found a treasure.

Just about to give the order to pull out, a figure suddenly flashed out of the crowd, and the figure was so fast that Shi Bin and Xu Feng were startled and immediately drew their swords to each other, if it wasn't for the person who spoke, everyone thought it was the assassin of the Yuan people, and he was ready to kill, and Xu Feng's sword had already reached the man's jaw.

Seeing this, Chen Qianyu also immediately shouted, "Second brother, if you have something to say, just ask, how can you be so rude?" What should I do if Ishizhizhou is frightened? ”

Second brother? The thief-eyed, short-quartered guy in front of him is fighting with the flea on the drum. is already Zhizhou, of course, he will not be bored to the point of random positioning, and opened his mouth to ask: "Chen Qianyu, who is your second brother?" Why so rude? ”

At the same time, he looked at the man, hoping that he would answer the question as well, but the man was obviously taken aback by the reaction of Shi Bin and his men, and stopped talking and stood there stunned.

"Lord Hui, this is my half-brother, named Chen Qianjin, who is also a scout, and is a fire captain like the villain. He is careless and does not know etiquette, and I ask for your forgiveness. Taking advantage of the fact that things had not developed in a worse direction, Chen Qianyu immediately explained, although he knew that Shi Bin was probably not careful, but the scene must be said, and the cold sweat had already flowed.

Chen Qianyu is the person he wants to woo, his younger brother makes a small mistake, naturally Shi Bin doesn't care, not to mention that this is not a mistake, what really makes Shi Bin feel interesting is why Chen Qianjin is so ignorant, it stands to reason that a fire chief should understand that he can't act so recklessly.

So Shi Bin asked kindly: "Chen Qianjin, you want to talk to the official so disregarding etiquette, which makes the official very curious, tell me what is the reason?" If it is a trivial matter, for the sake of the upcoming army and your brother, this military stick will be remembered first, and if there is a great good deed, not only will it not be punished, but on the contrary, you will be credited. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qianjin woke up from the state of being at a loss just now, this feeling of coming back from the ghost gate was very unpleasant, which made Chen Qianjin's legs tremble a little, but his tongue was still smooth, in order to prevent his good intentions from becoming evil, he immediately said: "My lord, recently the villain accidentally learned that there was a big chaos in the north, and the Yuan people have been preparing for internal fighting in Shaanxi for the throne of the emperor. ”

After saying these words, Chen Qianyu immediately cast a disappointed look, and the other cavalry around him also looked at him with contempt, while Shi Bin felt very helpless.

I didn't want to pay attention to Chen Qianjin anymore, and was about to give the order to pull out, but Chen Qianjin spoke again: "The key is not here, but this has caused them to be empty in the south, and most of the garrisons in Hanzhong, Longnan, and Ankang have been transferred, but the grain, grass, baggage, and some horses have not had time to be transferred. ”

With this news, Shi Bin immediately felt like a hungry wolf who saw meat, he never expected that the Yuan people would be so arrogant that they would abandon the military town that was opposed to the Song Dynasty, and instead turned it into a grain store.

But not long after he was happy, he calmed down again, of course this is great news, but these three cities are fortresses with high and deep cities, and they are definitely not something that the five hundred cavalry under his command can swallow, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on those infantry troops, and he is just a food delivery.

Seeing that Shi Bin's face was gloomy again, Chen Qianyu elbowed his second brother hard and beat Chen Qianjin into a shrimp, Chen Qianjin, who knew the meaning, immediately said: "My lord, I have a way to break the city!" Even if you can't take away those good things, you won't leave a little bit for the Yuan people! ”

Breaking the city? If it weren't for the fact that he was Chen Qianyu's younger brother, just based on his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and this crazy talk, Shi Bin would definitely beat him out of the playground.

It is estimated that he felt that his news was too confidential, and Chen Qianjin asked to talk to Shi Bin alone with him in an obscene manner, and Xu Feng immediately asked to leave without being aside.

Shi Bin naturally wouldn't have a gap with his brother for such a guy, so he naturally refused his request, and only said that he could not say it on the playground.

Knowing that this was Shi Bin's biggest concession, Chen Qianjin immediately followed him into the handsome tent, and before he sat down, he leaned over and said, "My lord, the villain knows a few Yuan people who are greedy for money in Hanzhong City. And the Yuan people are not as monolithic as Song Ting thought, that is, there are many gaps between tribes. It's just that the Yuan people advocate force, and whoever is stronger will follow whom. In their opinion, Huairou is weak, and they rarely suffer from our Great Song Dynasty, which naturally gives people the feeling that they are of one heart and one mind. ”

Although Shi Bin was not influenced by traditional Confucianism, and although he had already killed people, he still thought that it was safer to give a sweet date to eat with a stick, but Chen Qianjin's statement made him faintly feel a trace of blood.

Seeing Shi Bin's reaction, Chen Qianjin nodded with satisfaction: "My lord, the villain means that after those few Yuan people occupy Hanzhong, there will be no Yuan people left, and let those puppet soldiers spread your courage and good fighting." ”

Indeed, fear is a thing that is more and more terrifying, and the reason why there are soldiers who surrender without a fight is not because they are good at fighting, but because they make the other side feel a strong fear and collapse without a fight. It's just that this practice of not leaving a living mouth still makes him a little difficult to accept, after all, he doesn't want to be labeled a 'stone butcher'.

Looking around, he found that everyone was all bloodthirsty without leaving half of their mouths, which reminded him of the bloodthirsty monster, the will of the people cannot be violated, not to mention that they are all kind, Shi Bin had to compromise and said: "Let's not talk about whether to kill those Yuan people, let's talk about how to destroy them all." ”

Knowing that this is Shi Bin playing a delaying tactic, he doesn't want to discuss such a sensitive issue for the time being, but it's true, where did Tu Guang come from before he was completely annihilated? It's not a fool to say what a dream is.

"Chen Qianjin, if your method is really useful, this official will record your merits, if it is useless, then you will be punished for two crimes, and the twenty military sticks will definitely not be able to escape." Shi Bin then said with a smile.

Naturally, these words did not hit Chen Qianjin's self-confidence, and he immediately stood up and gave Shi Bin a military salute, saying that he was willing to accept thirty military sticks if he didn't succeed.

"My lord, in my opinion, we can first ambush the people and horses on various official roads outside the city, cut off their retreat and become a turtle in the urn. Then find a way to control the horses and make them lose their speed advantage. In the end, he used decapitation tactics to kill their military commanders, making them stragglers, so that none of them could slip through the net. In fact, it is better to show one or two small minions. Wang San said with a smile.

Everyone thought that Wang San was reasonable, and deliberately putting one or two might be more conducive to the spread of this kind of terror, after all, the words of a few puppet soldiers who surrendered would not have much effect.

In the end, it was decided to leave only the Yuanren, the elderly, the young, the women and the children, and the rest, including the captives.

Because he had made a fuss in the Bazhong area before, he didn't dare to take the official road all the time, and the seven-day journey had to let Shi Bin walk for nearly half a month to get to the outside of Hanzhong City, but fortunately, Shi Bin had always been afraid of hunger, so he brought nearly a month's grain and grass, so that he had the ability to ensure that he did not show his tracks and had the spare strength to capture Hanzhong.

There was a shortage of food and grass, and Chen Qianjin was sent to the city that night to contact the 'Yuan traitor' to discuss the dedication of the city.

In less than two days, Chen Qianjin came out of the city, his face was half happy and half worried, Wang San was the most observant of words and expressions, and asked: "Brother Qianjin, is there some trouble?" ”

Seeing that he was silent, Shi Bin ran over and said, "Where is there anything that doesn't cause trouble?" As long as it can be solved, let's talk about what the trouble is? ”

Like a wronged child, Chen Qianjin howled: "Those misers, actually doubled, said that they would need twelve big yellow croakers to open the door, and they had to pay six before they talked!" ”

Wang San asked himself if he was not good at stubble, and he was greedy, but he didn't expect that these Yuan people were even more greedy, everyone had to divide four gold bars before they were willing to do it, and they had to pay half of it first.

Wang San was thinking about the Tanzhou Treasury he was in charge of with a sad face, and Shi Bin suddenly said, "They want a key to open the city, right?" ”

"Yes, sir. The key is carried with you, and is usually with the person on duty. ”

"How about asking them out and taking the key?" Shi Bin asked.

Chen Qianjin shook his head painfully.

"That's not right, if I give a gold bar and never come out again, won't I throw it into the water?"

"That's not going to happen, a traitor like him is also afraid that we will shake things out, then he will really be doomed, and the Yuan people are much crueler to traitors than we are to traitors." Wang San suddenly interjected.

Do you really want to give six gold bars? This is digging his heart and liver, at this time, Shi Bin had an idea in his heart, and immediately informed Wang San of this.

Before he finished speaking, he immediately shook his head at night: "No, you can't do it, you put faith and righteousness in the world, kill them when you confiscate the money, and others have nothing to say; If they kill them and take back their money after they have done something for us, it will be a great injustice, and it will be reproached by the world. ”

Just as Wang San and Shi Bin were arguing, Chen Qianjin said hesitantly: "There is still a way for villains, but it is not very elegant... Adults may not be willing..."

At this time, who cares if it is elegant or not? Shi Bin immediately ordered Chen Qianjin to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Qianjin finally squeezed out the word "steal" from his mouth, and he would steal it. "My lord, they naturally won't carry the key with them during the negotiation, we can send a few people into the city to investigate first, and see where they are resting, so that we can find the location of the key."

Looking up at Chen Qianjin carefully, he noticed his nirvana (in ancient times, the soldier's hand was tattooed and inked to prevent him from escaping), and at this time, Shi Bin remembered the sentence 'A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not hit nails'.

"Don't care about these subsections, nothing matters before the national righteousness, and you are a warrior if you can regain my Great Song territory." Shi Bin comforted Chen Qianjin vigorously.

Shi Bin only sent three spies into the city, deliberately provoking the brainless Yuan people, and knew the approximate range of action of this group of guards. Chen Qianjin, the old thief, asked a few 'traitors' to drink, and did some tricks and feet in the wine, and easily stole the key.

After opening the city gate as agreed, Shi Bin was so excited that he couldn't even say a word, looking at Chen Qianjin like a baby, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that if this guy was used well, he was comparable to two thousand male soldiers.

After that, things naturally went as planned, and the 500 cavalry took Hanzhong City at the cost of not losing one person and only wounding eight people, killing all 300 yuan soldiers in the city, leaving the old and weak women and children.

Each household was given fifty stone of grain and grass in the city, and they took away two months' worth of grain and grass for themselves, and the rest were burned.

The horses were the most worrying for Shi Bin, the target of 500 cavalry was already big enough, and now that he had captured Hanzhong, he had almost nothing to hide. Naturally, they couldn't keep these horses for the Yuan people to use as mounts to chase and kill them, and in the end, they could only pick out good horses from them to make their own side reach the standard of one person and two horses, and then reluctantly kill other slightly inferior military horses.

Shi Bin did not hesitate when killing the Yuan soldiers, and when they killed the horses, they passed the buck to each other, and no one was willing to handle the knife.
