Chapter 68: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry
"Ugh!" Xu Qing patted his head and said to Li Shibin with a smile: "Father-in-law, you misunderstood!" It's all because the son-in-law is too anxious, and he doesn't choose to say anything for a while, and he asks for forgiveness! ”
Li Shibin: "One family doesn't talk to two families, what makes you so anxious?" ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law was ordered to intercept Li Yuanhao's spies in Hengshan today, and I inadvertently intercepted a person, his name is Wei Mingzhong, I don't know if you know?" ”
"Famous?" Li Shibin frowned and pondered: "This name is a bit impressive, but I really can't remember it for a while!" ”
Li Huaibao interjected at this time: "Father, have you forgotten the personal guard next to Li Yuanhao?" ”
"Oh! Yeah! Li Shibin then said: "I remembered for my father, there is such a person around Li Yuanhao, and my father also saw him compete with others in his early years, and his skills are indeed not bad, I guess he is not as good as Xianxu!" ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law, so it was very much, the son-in-law did take a lot of effort to capture him alive at that time, and it was from their group that I learned that Li Yuanhao sent a lot of killers to try against you, and the son-in-law rushed over non-stop when he got the news, fortunately it was not too late!" ”
Bah! Li Shibin took a sip and cursed: "Li Yuanhao's goods are getting more and more useless, and he actually plays with these things that can't be put on the table, and he has a kind of head-on with Lao Tzu!" Bad seeds! ”
Xu Qing: "My father-in-law is angry, we can't be angry with him, do you think you should strengthen your vigilance and arrange your son-in-law's people?" ”
Li Shibin said proudly: "Xianxu, your kindness is my father's heart!" You and your people have been busy all day, it must be very tired, for the father to see that you should rest first, although the father of these unsuccessful guys can not compare to you, but there is no problem to prevent a few juniors! ”
"Daddy~" Li Qiangrose took Li Shibin's hand again, shook it, and said coquettishly: "The father-in-law came to protect you, why don't you appreciate it!" If you do this again, your daughter will ignore you again! ”
"Father. Let's let my brother-in-law be in charge! We all know my brother-in-law's skills, and besides, my brother-in-law is also a lot of outsiders, right? After Li Huaibao received Li Qiangrose's threatening eyes, he also hurried out to help.
Under the pressure of several pressures. Li Shibin was forced to give up his arrogance, accepted Xu Qing's kindness, and agreed to put him in charge of the siege of the mansion.
Xu Qing was about to pull Li Huaibao to arrange manpower, but Li Shibin suddenly stopped him: "Little son-in-law, my father has an idea I want to discuss with you!" ”
Xu Qing: "Father-in-law, please command!" ”
Li Shibin: "There is an old saying: only a thousand days to be a thief." There are no thousand-day thieves. Since Li Yuanhao has sent a detailed work, let's find a way to clear them out. The father has already imposed martial law on the entire village, and there must not be many people who can mix in. ”
Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and since then they have launched a counter-assassination operation, except for the most personal guards who have been replaced by Xu Qing and his teammates, there have been no deliberate changes in other places. But in the dark, there are countless pairs of eyes, there are special combat team members and Li Shibin's cronies, and Weng Son-in-law teamed up to set up a net in Jinmingzhai.
Li Yuanhao also looks up to him. In addition to the unfavorable Wei Mingzhong, there were three other waves of people who arrived in Jinmingzhai and each launched an assassination operation against Li Shibin. But they didn't know that Li Shibin had already obtained this information, and they just didn't see Li Shibin walk out of his mansion, so there was no way, time waited for no one, they had to enter Li Shibin's mansion to complete the task assigned by their master.
Under Xu Qing's careful protection, he thwarted the assassins' assassination plans again and again. Seeing that the actions of his subordinates failed again and again, he used anti-poison, cold arrows, assassination and other means all over again, but he didn't kill the target. And the famous loyal bag who didn't like to see him was nowhere to be seen, and the leader of the assassins was also a little uncontrollable, and finally let Xu Qing catch a flaw and arrest him.
Li Shibin's alarm was gradually lifted, but he suddenly remembered something. Since Li Yuanhao can send people to deal with him, it is also possible to deal with those small village owners under him, and it is very likely to take this opportunity to attack.
So, while he sent his cronies to the various villages to remind them and protect them together, the other half also moved troops non-stop. Actively defend against a possible attack by Lee Won-ho.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Li Shibin's behavior of sending his cronies to various villages, after all, he was the chief of this party member, and it was reasonable to send people to inspect it. But this time something went wrong, the reason is still Li Yuanhao, according to Zhang Yuan's previous plan, it should be to win over the owner of the small village first, and launch a beheading operation against Li Shibin. However, Li Yuanhao was a little anxious, afraid that Li Shibin would be on guard when he heard the news, so he hurriedly sent the assassins out, but the speed of these assassins rushed to the front of those envoys who persuaded them to surrender.
As a result, when Li Shibin solved the assassins and sent his cronies to various villages, he happened to meet those small village owners who were still negotiating terms with Li Yuanhao's envoys. As soon as those small village owners heard that their boss had sent someone to come, their first feeling was that their boss knew about their dirty things.
So what to do?
This serious issue is placed in front of them, not to mention that the conditions have not been negotiated yet, and even if they are negotiated, they can't turn their faces now! Not to mention whether you can escape from the palm of the boss's hand, that is, if the hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers of the security army want to know that they have defected to Li Yuanhao, then they will not come to the door in minutes! What is the difference between this and death!
can be the owner of a village at that time, it is definitely not a fool, thinking of this, he naturally knows how to choose. So, except for a few Li Shibin's diehard loyalists, who drove out those Li Yuanhao's envoys without saying anything, or arrested and locked them up, everyone else immediately tied up the envoys who negotiated with them and handed them over to Li Shibin's cronies, and assured that they were absolutely loyal, so that the boss could use them with confidence.
So far, Li Yuanhao's divisive plan and dragon slaying have disappeared invisibly. And the people sent out by Li Yuanhao, except for a few who were driven away in advance, including other persuasion envoys led by Li Yuanhao's think tank Yang Kuo, all turned into human heads and appeared on Li Yuanhao's desk, and attached a letter from Li Shibin, which was simply a single sentence: Yuanhao Xiaoer, there is a kind of real knife and real gun with the master, what kind of thing is playing those indiscriminate things!
It can be seen that Li Shibin is also really angry, otherwise he would not have turned on the taunt skill, this trick is too much to attract hatred.
Li Yuanhao saw the result of this letter, and naturally it is needless to say. With his temper being so humiliated by Li Shibin, he completely cut off his intention to recruit him, vowed to give him some red color, and soon mobilized the army. Prepare to enter Hengshan and take the lead in attacking Li Shibin's troops.
As Li Yuanhao's chief think tank, Zhang Yuan was embarrassed to stop him when his plan failed, and he didn't have the courage to dissuade Li Yuanhao's decision. Besides, in terms of topography alone. Li Shibin's Jinmingzhai happens to be at the forefront of the Song army's northern defense line, if you can't pull Li Shibin to your side, then if you want to fight the Song army with peace of mind, you must pull out the nail of Li Shibin. In this case, simply take advantage of the fact that the Song army is not ready to attack Xia Guo, strike first, kill Li Shibin's department, and remove the Song army's outer defense line.
As a result, on the matter of attacking Li Shibin, the Western Xia quickly reached an agreement. The next thing to do is specific operational command, which is Li Yuanhao's strong point, and he also has the intention of taking revenge with his own hands. Due to the battle in the mountains, the iron harrier with the strongest combat power under Li Yuanhao was not easy to play, so he ordered the proton army, the capture army and the Xiangyou army (tribal soldiers), a total of 135,000 people, and stepped into Hengshan in several roads......
On Song Jun's side, Zhi Weizheng listened to Xu Qing's report and immediately sent a letter to Li Shibin. intends to send troops to assist Li Shibin in defending Li Yuanhao's attack. However, Li Shibin didn't know for what purpose, so he rejected Zhen Weizheng's kindness, saying that he wanted to fight Li Yuanhao once. It's not easy to force him. After thinking about it, since he didn't want to let himself send someone in, then according to what the emperor said before, give him some of the eliminated equipment in the name of the imperial court. Well, anyway, the emperor can't look down on these equipment, and he can't earn back the travel expenses when he transports them back. Just sell his favor to show the emperor's grace, isn't it!
This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, Li Shibin will definitely not refuse, he has lived in this land for generations, and he is a courtier of the Song State on the surface, but as long as he doesn't fight, no one wants to deal with him at all. In the past, it was more difficult to get equipment from above than to ascend to the sky, but now Zhe Wei is taking the initiative to send it to the door, who refuses who is stupid! As for whether he will dislike these equipment that has been used by the Song army, he will think too much, even if it is second-hand, it is much better than his current equipment, not to mention that there are still a large number of arrows in these equipment, which is a scarce resource.
It didn't take long for Li Shibin's unit, who was "changing shotguns for guns", to officially exchange fire with Li Yuanhao's troops. According to the previous practice, Li Yuanhao first sent the Xiangyou army to test the attack on a stockade. Theoretically speaking, the Xiangyou army has nearly 30,000, and even if the elite soldiers in it are only one out of ten, it is much more than a stockade with only about 5,000 troops. However, the resources of Western Xia are scarce, and the equipment of these tribal soldiers is naturally not much better, almost having to wait for the enemy to build that rhythm with guns and knives.
The two armies clashed for the first time, and Li Shibin, who had just obtained a large number of arrows, was able to build it vigorously. On the other hand, on Li Yuanhao's side, maybe there is not much difference in their archery skills, but the cyst is shy, so naturally they can't do it. Besides, they still have small earthen walls to cover one or two, and the result is self-evident, ending the first round of fighting with the Xiangyou army dropping thousands of corpses.
At this time, the particularity of the terrain of mountains and rivers came out of the system, Li Shibin's eighteen villages, seemingly eighteen isolated villages, but the people also formed a formation connected to the villages, if the enemy wants to besiege one of them, the surrounding villages can implement the anti-encirclement strategy.
So, how can Li Yuanhao break this obstacle?
In fact, it is not difficult for him, as long as the power in his hand is strong enough, he can attack multiple cottages at the same time, so that you have no time to take care of him, and naturally solve this problem.
So, after a short period of temptation, Li Yuanhao had this plan in his heart, and finally pretended to consult his subordinates and began to implement this tactic. Li Yuanhao personally led the Proton Army, while the Captive Army was divided into ten teams and launched an attack on ten cottages at the same time, while the remaining Xiangyou Army was responsible for intercepting possible reinforcements.
The first day of fighting did not last long, and Li Yuanhao took the initiative to retreat, not because his tactics were ineffective. If the fight continues, there is still a gap between Li Shibin's unit and Li Yuanhao's captive army, which is not only inferior in numbers, but also in morale and other aspects. The reason why Li Yuanhao took the initiative to give up was just because he felt that Li Shibin's arrows were hoarded a little too much, and his elite casualties were a bit large, so it was not cost-effective even if he won the battle.
Therefore, he had a vague crooked idea in his heart, and he was ready to plan a good plan with his subordinates. (To be continued.) )
