Chapter 648: Counterattack on Kublai Khan
Fighting with Kublai Khan, a great man in the world, Shi Bin was both excited and worried. If he can win against Kublai Khan, then his fame is really the first in the world, and no one can match, but how can such a great hero be so easy to defeat? If you are not careful, you may lose your armor and lose your armor. Although there was an equal split the day before, being yin by him is the best proof.
Before they finished washing up in bed, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi came over to discuss today's battle with Shi Bin.
"Husband, yesterday Kublai Khan yin you twice, today you have to be careful, to prevent him from making another trick, it is best to call Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi to discuss. You haven't talked to them for five days since you came, and you didn't call Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi to fight yesterday, so the distinction between inside and outside is too obvious and easy to make people hate. Jia Ling reminded.
This reminder made Shi Bin realize that he had made a big mistake, so he immediately became serious and asked Jia Ling and Sai Xishi what solution they had.
"Of course, there is a way, that is, you have to put down your identity to apologize to them, and personally invite them to the meeting instead of ordering Xu Feng to invite them. If you don't want them to be restrained but want to win them over, you have to be tolerant. The slave family is sure that there will be some chaos in the next few days, but you can control it, husband. Sai Xi Shi said very seriously.
If you make a mistake, you can't admit it, let alone the life and death of tens of thousands of people. Shi Bin didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties because of the unhappiness of himself, Wang Jian, and Xiang Shibi. Therefore, he quickly accepted the opinions of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, and said that he would personally invite the two after breakfast.
As soon as Shi Bin finished breakfast, he went out of the tent to invite Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi to come to the pre-war meeting. Wang Jian is invited, because the two have worked together for a long time to fight with Shi Bin, and he has also made a lot of credit, knowing the close relationship between Shi Bin and Li Chao, he naturally will not hold a grudge against this little thing. Xiang Shibi is not, this is a person who lacks flexibility, although he does not hate Shi Bin because of this, but he hates Shi Bin's party formation in his heart, and he already has a mustard. Therefore, Shi Bin said many soft words before he agreed to go out of the camp together to discuss the military.
When returning to the tent, Shi Bin secretly sighed that Jia Ling was as careful as a hair, and Sai Xishi was wise and smart, but fortunately they would have offended people and still ignorant.
Knowing that Shi Bin is a resolute person who can't tolerate the slightest procrastination, Li Chao came to the handsome tent not long after Shi Bin got up, waiting for Shi Bin, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi to return to the account. It didn't take long for the top decision-making level of the 60,000 Song army to gather and talk.
Shi Bin, the boss, was naturally the first to speak, but his first sentence was, 'General Wang Jian, General Xiang Shibi, I'm sorry.' It was a bit rude not to call the two of you to play yesterday. Shi apologized here. ’
Unexpectedly, Shi Bin apologized in public again, Wang Jian didn't care for a long time, so he just smiled and said he didn't mind, and Xiang Shibi was embarrassed because he still had mustard in his heart.
Seeing the clues, Shi Bin didn't say much, but said to himself: "Yesterday's battle with Kublai Khan, militarily he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and there were almost no loopholes, and we met a strong opponent." The point is not this, but he used tricks against me twice in an attempt to separate us. Thinking about it now makes me feel uneasy. ”
These words made Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi very comfortable in their hearts, because what they were most afraid of was that Shi Bin would scold them for being unfavorable as soon as he came
took the opportunity to punish the crime, even if they knew that Song Ting and Ali Buge had an agreement and Shi Bin's instructions.
"Great commander, Kublai Khan is the hero of the world, and he really has to be cautious when dealing with him, otherwise it will be too easy to be defeated. Ali Buge only turned from an advantage to a disadvantage because of a few recklessness, if it weren't for the alliance with my Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid he would have fled to Persia long ago. Wang Jian said with certainty.
Shi Bin knew all of this, so he asked, "Then how does Lord Wang think it is good to deal with Kublai Khan?" ”
"The first is that we must work with one heart and one mind, the second is that we must seek progress in stability and not rush forward easily, and the third is that we can't let Ali Buge watch the fire from the other side to prevent him from being the fisherman."
"Lord Wang said it well, it is so." Then he turned his head to look at Xiang Shibi, and Shi Bin motioned for him to also share his opinion.
"Dashuai, the lower officials think that we may have to keep a hand in everything."
"Keep a hand?" vaguely caught the meaning, but didn't want to make a mistake because he didn't know how to pretend to understand, Shi Bin still asked, "What does it mean to 'keep a hand'?" ”
"That is, no matter what the situation, as long as there is a battle, it is necessary to keep enough support troops, and once the support may be insufficient, it is better to give up the victory than withdraw the troops."
Such a cautious general Shi Bin is the first time he has seen it, but Shi Bin also likes it, because although such a person can't make great achievements, he can't make big mistakes, and he is an excellent candidate for defensive battles.
"What you said is right, what I want to emphasize most is to trust each other with one heart and one mind, and absolutely not fall for Kublai Khan's divisive scheme. Ben Shuai knows that many people think that I am a rebellious minister and thief of the Great Song Dynasty, but that is all for later, and what I have to do now is to defeat Kublai Khan and recapture the Hexi Corridor. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after the war. Please also tell your generals that if anyone dares to disperse the hearts of the army at this time, don't blame me for not being merciful. Shi Bin said solemnly.
As a result of following Xiang Shibi's advice, Shi Bin's troop arrangement changed a little. The front, middle and rear armies changed from 20,000 horses to 25,000 men in the front, 20,000 in the middle army, and 15,000 in the rear. The duties of the 15,000 men of the rear army were also partially changed, and they were not responsible for charging and killing, but only for receiving and defending.
With such a fight, it became very dull, and no one could help anyone after a day. Even if Kublai Khan suddenly sent 5,000 troops and horses to attack Shi Bin's rear army, he was unsuccessful.
After returning to the camp, Shi Bin, Li Chao, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi all felt extremely tired, and they had never fought such a rigid battle. can't show his strength without saying it, and he is still so aggrieved, which is really unpleasant.
As soon as they entered the handsome tent, everyone sighed, Jia Ling first scolded Xiang Shibi for not daring to take the initiative to attack the old turtle, and then scolded Shi Bin for being confused for listening to slander. If it weren't for being pulled by Sai Xishi, I'm afraid Jia Ling would scold everyone.
"Indeed, we can't fight like this. Although the casualties of such a fight were not large, the damage to morale was greater, and it was greater than holding on without fighting. Not to mention that food is also a problem. ”
"It's good to understand, fighting is to win, and it's better not to fight if you are so aggrieved." Jia Ling said angrily, "It's all to blame for that old turtle Xiang Shibi!" It's okay to push the rear army up to cover up and kill, but he stops the head! ”
"Having said that, the opponent is Kublai Khan, not an idle person, and it is understandable to do this to the adults. You don't scold him anymore, or you want me not to offend him and Wang Jian in the morning. ”
After listening to Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling shut up, but she was still unhappy and obviously unconvinced. It's just that Shi Bin didn't have the leisure to coax Jia Ling, just one
I thought hard about how to defeat Kublai Khan, and how to let Ali Buge fight him to the death.
Seeing Shi Bin's frowning, Xu Feng said: "Don't worry, the marshal doesn't have to worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." It's just stuck for a while. When have you not come up with a solution? ”
With Xu Feng's encouragement, Shi Bin's self-confidence exploded, and he immediately came to his senses and thought attentively.
Not long after, Shi Bin asked: "Xu Feng, you said that you want to make Kublai Khan weak and not let him die too early, and ensure that he can continue to fight against Ali Buge, what method is appropriate?" ”
"Dashuai, I thought of a way to do it, but I'm afraid this weakness is not the same thing as the weakness of adults."
"Whether it's the same thing or not, speak up and listen to it first. Even if it's useless, it's fine. ”
"Yes, sir. In a humble opinion, the best way to make Kublai Khan weak and not too weak is to let him be wounded, but not fatally. ”
Shi Bin didn't expect this method, it was quite good, so he motioned for Xu Feng to continue.
"Dashuai, we can let Kublai Khan be hit by an arrow, but the arrow must be clean and not a poisonous arrow. Because if it is a poisonous arrow, Kublai Khan will be killed by an arrow, then Ali Buge will really take the throne, which is very bad for us. ”
In ancient times, disinfection was very difficult, and many generals did not die during the fight, but died of arrow sores after being hit by 'poisoned arrows'. And the so-called 'poison' is not really poisonous, just some dirty things, such as feces and the like.
"It makes sense, it seems that even my Shi Bin gun can't be used. Okay, then find me five hundred archers, hide them in the middle of the army, and shoot Kublai Khan if he dares to come. But he can only shoot non-lethal parts, and he has to stop attacking once he gets an arrow. Shi Bin smiled slyly.
"Your Excellency is wise!" Xu Feng immediately complimented him happily after listening to Shi Bin's order.
With a plan or not, Shi Bin never told Li Chao, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi about this plan, and even Jia Ling and Sai Xishi didn't know. In this way, it was absolutely secret, and on the third day of the battle, Kublai Khan really hit the shot, and the arrow fell off his horse, and the Yuan people immediately messed up and retreated in defeat. If it weren't for strict military discipline, I'm afraid it would have been a rout.
Although it was a big victory, the atmosphere in the handsome tent was not harmonious, the two tigresses were ready to ask for guilt at any time, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi were also unhappy, only Li Chao, the peacemaker, did not see any unhappiness.
Obviously won the battle, but Shi Bin couldn't flaunt his credit, looking at this situation, it seemed that he had to apologize first, and he couldn't stand it in his heart.
"Everyone, everyone did a good job in today's battle, and Ben Shuai is very happy. Now that Kublai Khan has been hit by an arrow, even if there is no chaos in his camp, the army will be unstable, and it is a good time to continue the attack. Do you want to ask Brother Ali to come and fight with you? Shi Bin asked pretending not to know.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to Shi Bin, only Li Chao was willing to smile at him, but he didn't dare to speak. It's too embarrassing to be like this, but the dignified boss is ignored by his subordinates, which is really embarrassing. It is estimated that such a thing can happen to Shi Bin, if it were in other places, such a general would have been subject to military law a long time ago.
Of course it is not okay to be so stiff all the time, Shi Bin does not have so much patience, and after sitting patiently with a few people for a quarter of an hour, he ran outside with a cup of tea. Anger can't last long, not to mention that the main owner is gone, who will show the anger? Naturally, there was no anger, but they all planned to ignore Shi Bin again on this day.
