Chapter 351 - The Strategy of Raising Troops

The case of "Ghost Night Walking" has spread throughout Qiyun in a short period of time, and Qiyun has been shocked from the court officials, down to the officials of various states and counties, and the people have been shocked.

Although Yanbei City is far away from Jianglin, there is no need to worry about the "ghost night walk", but the news of the death of the prince has also caused a lot of waves in Yanbei City.

Especially after Wan Jun was imprisoned, the dragons of Yanbei are now leaderless, and the bloody case of the General's Mansion a few days ago made Yanbei feel uneasy, some people said that the Northern Jin Dynasty sent people to assassinate, and some people said that it was Wan Jungong's high shock master, and was feared by the emperor, but after Yanbei commanded Shan Bin to lead the army into the city, these rumors were stopped...

Shan Bin was restless in the house, and he followed the order, but he got away from Yang Huchen, I don't know what will happen to him, but he thought that he had been abandoned by Wan Jun for so many years, maybe he saw that he had been in Yanbei for many years and reused himself.

Thinking of this, Shan Bin was a little settled in his heart, and no matter what his merits were in Yanbei City this time, that is, now in the Yanbei Army, there are no Wan Jun, Yang Huchen and others, except for himself, who can sit in the position of the commander of the northern territory.

But when I thought about it, Wan Jun had been with him for many years, and he didn't say that he would be caught, he had secretly done these things for him, maybe one day, he would end up with the same fate as Wan Jun...

"Report—" The herald's shouting interrupted Shan Bin's thoughts.

In Yanbei for many years, abandoned for many years, commanding the general, Shan Bin has never enjoyed such a military report to ask for his own instructions, since the bloody general's mansion, he has become the backbone of the Yanbei army, although some of the generals in the army are still loyal to Wan Jun, and they are still angry about their bloody general's mansion, but they can be intimidated by the official authority and military orders, so they have to give up.

The rich merchants and magnates in Yanbei City are even more flattering, only on the day after they led the army into the city, they each brought their gifts to visit Shan Bin, there are relatives and relatives, there are also people who offer silver money and utensils to make friends, and there are even rich businessmen in the city who are willing to offer their daughters as concubines... This feeling of being in control of everything is so wonderful that before you know it, Shan Bin has indulged in it and can't extricate himself.

Dressed up and sat in the hall, waiting for the herald to come to report, Shan Bin heard the herald's clarity, the smug look on his face suddenly disappeared, his eyes were full of doubts, and he muttered to himself: "Gordon led four thousand patrol guards to Yanbei? Isn't he stationed in the Mo and Wei armies?"

The herald who knelt on the ground to report vaguely heard General Shan talking to himself, and hurriedly said: "General, that's true, the scout has come to report, Gordon's 4,000 patrol defenders are only ten miles away from Yanbei City, but we haven't received an order to change the guard, how to deal with it, please ask General Shan to decide."

There is no warrant for the transfer of troops from the imperial court, and there is no war, and he leads the troops to the north without authorization, which is equivalent to mutiny, Shan Bin can no longer hide the anger in his heart, and he suddenly got up, and wanted to order the herald to mobilize the soldiers of the Yanbei battalion, but after getting up, his mind turned quickly, and he remembered that it was almost the middle of the month, according to the military regulations of Qiyun, where to the middle of the month, the generals would return to Yanbei to report to Wan Jun.

But Shan Bin faintly felt that something was wrong, Wan Jun had already been escorted to Beijing at this moment, and the northern commander was vacant, and who did Gordon report to.

"Gordon is a well-known straw bale general, in the Japanese army, he either excused himself to be sick, or he prevaricated with miscellaneous matters in the patrol army, how did he suddenly lead his troops to Yanbei, with his temperament, don't say that Yanbei City is fine, that is, there is a war in Yanbei, this straw bastard will definitely find many excuses to dodge... Could it be that his order... But even if you want to send someone to Yanbei, how can it be him."

Shan Bin couldn't help but think of the time when Shicai was worried about unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and then remembered the words of the visitor in the backyard of the house, and hesitated again.

Gordon's going north is indeed suspicious, but thinking of what Gordon had done before, he finally relaxed a little, and opened his mouth to order the herald soldiers: "Pass my general order, order all battalions to strictly guard, not to leave without permission, with my military order, order Gordon to retreat thirty miles back and camp, without my warrant, you must not approach Yanbei City again, otherwise you will be punished as collaborating with the enemy."

"Order!"

Looking at the back of the herald getting on the horse and leading the order, Shan Bin hesitated to get up, retreated from the people, and wanted to go to the backyard of the house, as if he remembered something, and ordered the subordinates not to see any more guests today, so he turned around and entered the back hall.

There was a person in the courtyard, who seemed to be enjoying the spring coming late after winter, and saw Shan Bin frowning and striding forward, and withdrew his gaze to meet him.

"General Shan, today's spring is beginning to appear, exactly

It's a good time to drink and enjoy spring, but why are you sad, at this time in Yanbei City, where is there anyone who can make our commander worry?"

Seeing this person, Shan Bin hurriedly restrained his hesitation, walked with his arms, took him to the study, covered the door, and then spoke: "Gordon is here."

The man seemed to have heard of Gordon's name, and immediately laughed, "Oh? Is it the cheap brother? Isn't that just right, calling a group, and everyone drinking and talking, isn't it beautiful."

"He led four thousand patrols and defenders, but he did not report it, and he is now only ten miles away from Yanbei City." Shan Bin was worried and told the truth.

With just one glance, this person saw what Shan Bin was worried about, and he was not panicked, and said with a smile: "Master Shan, what are you worried about, don't say that the 100,000 Yanbei Army is already under your command at this moment, and it is more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city in Yanbei City, and it is not something that his 4,000 patrol defenders can match."

Seeing that Shan Bin's eyebrows were puzzled, he continued to explain: "What's more, if it weren't for my lord's value for his brother, how could this kind of straw bag tolerate him."

Shan Bin said bitterly in his heart, what this person said is indeed good, he is indeed the highest official in Yanbei City, and the 100,000 Yanbei Army is temporarily controlled by himself, but he has no imperial order, although the generals in the army listen to the military order, but if he really wants to open the road to Yanbei according to the person in front of him, let alone whether the generals can listen to the order, it is this 100,000 sons, I am afraid they will not agree.

Thinking of the news from Beijing recently, Shan Bin was even more worried, and said to the person in front of him, "Up... Your Excellency, recently, news came from Jiang Lin City, Fan Xianghe..."

"I've also heard about this, not only Fan Mou, but also your short-lived prince, didn't he also die at the hands of ghosts, this is a great good thing for my lord." The man smiled and spoke leisurely.

"This... I'm worried, Gao Deng is here..." Shan Bin's face was even more ugly, he wanted to rely on Fan Mou with his back, but he took the opportunity to sit on the position of the commander of the Northern Territory, so he should give Fan Mou an order to secretly communicate with the Northern Jin Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that as soon as Fan Mou died, he had lost his backer in Beijing, not to mention the general of the northern border, it was this secret connection to the Northern Jin Dynasty, once it was leaked, what kind of fate would it be.

The secret envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty saw the fear in Shan Bin's eyes, and knew that his heart was already wavering, so he sneered: "What, Lord Shan is worried that Gao Deng will snatch your position away when he comes here, is he thinking of taking me, a secret agent of the Northern Jin Dynasty, so that he can invite credit?"

Shan Bin was penetrated by the secret envoy, and with a little flustery, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Shan Mou doesn't dare!"

"It's best not to dare, remind the commander, that the correspondence between you and me over the years, I have sent competent people to carefully put it away, and if something happens, those letters with the seal of the adult will appear..."

Before the Northern Jin Dynasty's secret envoy spoke, he saw that the dignified Yanbei commander was already kneeling in front of him, and he no longer had control over everything in Yanbei, and the spring breeze was proud: "The secret envoy can rest assured, Shan will do his best, but..."

When the secret envoy saw Shan Bin's appearance, he was very satisfied, helped Shan Bin up with a smile, and took over the words: "It's just that Gordon is here, but it makes you worry, right? Don't worry, Fan Mou is dead, and the Gordon brothers are useless, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Master Shan."

As soon as Shan Bin settled down, he heard the words of the secret envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does the envoy mean by this?"

"Fan Mou can sit on Qi Yun's right side, but not only by virtue of the so-called dragon skill, he can sit on the right side, how can a single adult not be able to sit down?" The envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty smiled and looked at Shan Bin.

Although Shan Bin has been appointed to the command, but only has the courage of a horseman, just throwing this temptation, Shan Bin was firmly attracted, and he couldn't help but hold the arm of the envoy, and said with a short breath: "What the Lord said is true?"

"That's natural, so I said in the next place, Fan Mou's death is an opportunity for Lord Shan, instead of caring about Qi Yun's position, it is better to help me go south, and then my lord will destroy Qi, my lord has made immortal achievements, don't say anything about the country, it is the king, and my lord will not be stingy." The envoy of Jin was convincing.

Shan Bin was coaxed by the Jin envoy's rhetoric and smiled, he had long forgotten that he had been coerced by him a moment ago, and he was only thinking about his dream of becoming a king in the future, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xie is complete, Shan Mouquan listens to the adult, what will he do next?"

Jin Envoy

laughed at this Shan Bin in his heart for being simple-minded, he is a traitor to the country and seeking glory, even if he really destroys Qi Yun, how can he be reused for him, but the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize Shan Bin, so he said, "How to act? Now that there is no master in Yanbei, it is the best opportunity to act, how many soldiers and horses are available in General Shan's hands?"

"Ben General's cronies have more than 10,000 soldiers."

"Enough, I'll write a copy of this hand, give it to my lord, send the general to bring troops forward, and then the inside and outside should be combined to break through the Yanbei Pass, as long as this Yanbei City falls, there is no danger to defend Qiyunbian, and the army can go south."

Hearing the words of the Jin envoy, Shan Bin's mind that was carried away by the official calmed down a little, the camps in Yanbei are full of 100,000 sons, and if they want to take risks, how can they resist the 10,000 people, and they can't help but worry: "This... Is it too dangerous, if the Yanbei battalion soldiers divide into two routes, all the way to resist the army, all the way to besiege the city, won't we become turtles in the urn?"

The Jin envoy smiled and said: "Master Shan, since you want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this matter is the best time for you to show yourself, as long as you contain the main force of Qi Yunyan's northern army, and wait until my Jin country's army arrives, when the time comes, there will be our army behind, and you will be in front of this Yanbei City to block the way of retreat, and the Yanbei army will be... A turtle in an urn!"

Hearing the Jin envoy's words, Shan Bin thought that he had been idle by Wan Jun all these years, and the one above the court had never done anything, and only waited until he wanted to get rid of Wan Jun that he handed over such dirty things to himself, and his heart was not angry again, and the conditions for sealing the king issued by the secret envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty in front of him were too tempting, so he thought about it for a while and gritted his teeth to speak.

"Okay, Shan is an adult's policy, but... I want you to move down the edict to me first, so that I don't regret it after it is done!"

The Jin envoy smiled and said, "This matter is simple, this envoy will write a secret letter in front of the adults, send the horse out of the customs, and report to the master."

"Okay, as long as Shan gets the edict, he will raise troops immediately!" Shan Bin gritted his teeth and spoke, his eyes already showing determination.

Half an hour later, a person had already left the city quietly, looking north, the secret envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty looked at Shan Bin's back, sneered, and turned to the city of Yanbei.

It was getting twilight, and the people in Yanbei City were in a hurry, and after the hard work of the day, they didn't know what was coming.

The Jin envoy refused Shan Bin's invitation, only on the grounds that he wanted to take a stroll in Yanbei City, pacing and enjoying the scenery of Yanbei, in the eyes of others, like a merchant playing alone, until he walked alone for half an hour, turned around and walked into a remote alley in Yanbei City, and then disappeared.

Raising his head and looking at the plaque above the shop in front of him, the three words "Tongguxuan" were vigorous and powerful, and the Jin envoy smiled slightly and walked into the store.

Maybe it's twilight, or this antique shop is in the middle of nowhere, there are no customers in the store, and it is deserted, and there is weirdness everywhere, only a shopkeeper is bowing his head and has been writing something, Xu heard a guest coming to the door, and the shopkeeper raised his head.

It seems that he has never seen a strange guest, the shopkeeper is not like an ordinary shopkeeper, his face is full of courtesy to solicit business, but his face is cold, and he said, "Guest officer, the small hall has closed, please be early, guest officer."

The envoy didn't seem to care about the shopkeeper's cold words, but walked to the side of the shelf full of antique artifacts, took down a clay pot and played with it, muttering in his mouth, as if talking to himself, and as if he was talking to others.

"Drive the horse to the north of the Yanmen, and the north wind will mourn the horse."
