Chapter 369: What to do
Things have reached a stage, and the next stage is to discuss how to take Wang San's mother-in-law back to Chengdu. The first is to know where Yang Mingzhu's family lives, what the situation is, and how to bring it back.
Therefore, the day after Yang Mingzhu said that he would take refuge in Shi Bin, Shi Bin called Yang Mingzhu to his study and discussed with Wang San about picking up her mother.
I thought that Shi Bin would push back on this matter, at least he would mention it after he provided valuable information, but he didn't expect Shi Bin to be so happy, which made Yang Mingzhu very happy and grateful, and he didn't regret taking refuge in Shi Bin.
During this period of joy and gratitude, Yang Mingzhu's reaction was slow, so Shi Bin and Wang San saw her thoughts. However, the two didn't intend to embarrass her, Shi Bin just smiled and said, "Yang Mingzhu, are you surprised?" ”
Definitely not answering 'yes', Yang Mingzhu just smiled with some feeling.
"Don't worry, I, Shi Bin, have always kept my word and done what I said. Your mother, I will bring her back from the north. ”
"Thank you, Lord Shi." Yang Mingzhu said weakly.
"Hehe, no thanks. In fact, even if I didn't give you this promise, I must take your mother over, otherwise my brother will turn against me. I can see through him, nine times out of ten he is a strict wife. ”
Shi Bin's joke made the atmosphere in the room a lot more relaxed, and everyone was much more comfortable.
"Yang Mingzhu, where is your home?"
"If you return to Lord Shi, my home is in Zhengzhou, Henan."
Although the atmosphere was much more relaxed, it was suppressed by Yang Mingzhu's three words 'Lord Shi', which made Shi Bin not very comfortable. I wanted to reprimand Yang Mingzhu for two sentences, but just as the words were about to come out, Shi Bin changed the tone of the reprimand to a joke: "Yang Mingzhu, you don't have to be so serious, relax." This is in my house, not in the yamen. If you're my brother or sister, it's not good to talk like that. ”
"Oh, thank you... Big, big brother. "Yang Mingzhu finally changed the 'adult' to be exported to 'big brother'.
"No, no. Let's get down to business. Your home is in Zhengzhou, Henan, how is the defense of the Yuan people? Shi Bin asked.
"Yuanren..." Speaking of this, Yang Mingzhu was embarrassed again, and after taking a breath, he said: "Their defense in Zhengzhou is quite tight, with a total of 10,000 soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers and strong generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Do you want to take Zhengzhou? ”
"No, no, no, where can I take Zhengzhou with this bit of strength? Pure understanding, understanding. With such an elite division, its generals must not be simple, right? Shi Bin said.
"Yes, it's Hülegü."
As soon as he heard Hülegü's name, Shi Bin felt the pressure suddenly increase. This Mongol general can be said to be famous all over the world, no weaker than Uliang Hatai and Kublai Khan, and is a difficult fellow. I'm afraid that even if Yang Mingzhu's mother is picked up this time, she will be in trouble.
Shi Bin's frowning brows and Wang San's gloomy face made Yang Mingzhu immediately say: "Big brother, my father is a hundred households, and he only lives in the military camp outside the city on weekdays, while his mother lives in the city, and it is rare for the two of them to see each other several times a month, so it is not difficult to take my mother back." ”
These words made Shi Bin and Wang San feel more comfortable. The husband and wife are rarely together, so it is indeed much easier to pick up Yang Mingzhu's mother, and it should not be difficult to succeed if you are careful. However, this is just wishful thinking, and this kind of mission to go deep behind enemy lines must be carefully planned and prepared, and the more carefully planned, the better.
Therefore, Shi Bin asked Shi Bin: "How much do you know about Hülegü?" ”
"Big brother, I only know that Hülegü is brave and strategic, and attaches great importance to the defense of the city. This is especially true after you've managed to sneak up on a few cities. ”
Although he was very proud in his heart, Shi Bin did not show it, because the current situation is not optimistic. Hulegu attaches great importance to the city defense, and he also attaches importance to the investigation of people entering and leaving the city gate, and if he is not careful, something will happen. What's more, the assassination of the Yuan people failed, I am afraid that Yang Mingzhu's parents have already been monitored, and they are waiting for Shi Bin's subordinates to enter the trap themselves.
Thinking of this, Shi Bin's face became even worse, Yang Mingzhu saw this and said: "Big brother, please help, please don't break your word." ”
At this time, Wang San spoke: "Yang Mingzhu, shut up." The eldest brother never broke his promise, he was just thinking about what to do best, and it was not easy to bring people back to Chengdu from Zhengzhou. ”
understood that he had misunderstood Shi Bin, and in order not to let Shi Bin care, Yang Mingzhu immediately apologized. Shi Bin was actually very annoyed by this, but he still couldn't help but lose his temper, just waved his hand to signal her to be quiet.
"Yang Mingzhu, just now you said that your parents can still meet a few times a month, so where can they meet this one?"
"Big brother, this is not necessarily. My father often went to the city to see his wives during the holidays, including my mother. When I wasn't on vacation, my mother mostly sent some delicious meals to the barracks to improve my father's food. Yang Mingzhu said.
Hearing this, Shi Bin thought of his army: only two days off a month, and all the rest of the time he was locked in the barracks for training. Hülegü's subordinates are also elite divisions, and I am afraid that there will not be much time behind the rest of his own army. In other words, Yang Mingzhu's mother went out of the city to deliver delicious food to her father more often than her father went back to the city to see his family.
"Yang Mingzhu, you mean that your mother delivers food more often than your father goes to the city?" Shi Bin asked with some excitement.
"Yes."
This affirmative answer made Shi Bin realize that the difficulty of picking up Yang Mingzhu's mother had been greatly reduced. You don't have to go into the city to pick it up stupidly, you can find out the pattern of her mother going out of the city and pick it up on the road.
Even if things change abruptly, there will be no way out, just run south. If Yang Mingzhu's mother refused to leave, it was a big deal to kidnap her and come back. Probably thinking of the same thing, Wang San looked at him and smiled.
"Think about it, what else can we use to pick up your mother." Shi Bin asked.
Of course, this kind of thing is to make Shi Bin's loss as little as possible, it is best to have no loss and gain, Yang Mingzhu doesn't want to be looked down upon. She also wants to be like Li Yuxi to help Shi Bin strengthen her strength, so that she can have some identity here, and she won't just be able to rely on others. So Yang Mingzhu thought about it very carefully.
Rebelling against his father? Yang Mingzhu immediately denied that this was a fantasy. Even if her father committed suicide, he would not betray Dayuan. First go to persuade your mother to let her come to Chengdu with her? This is a good way to prevent uncertainty and make your movements safer. Find the safest way for Shi Bin to retreat, so that he can return safely with his mother? This is not bad, Yang Mingzhu nodded to herself. After thinking about this, she said two points that she thought would work.
"Very well, it's good that you go and be a lobbyist first. Knowing your mother's attitude towards this matter will be much easier, and we will not be embarrassed. Shi Bin said, "It is also very good to find a safe way to retreat south, although Zhumadian is not far from Zhengzhou, but it is already the territory of the Yuan people, once they are alarmed, we do need a safe and fast way to retreat south." ”
"Yang Mingzhu, what kind of character is your mother? Will she listen to your retreat south? Wang San suddenly asked. Although he can use force to kidnap Yang Mingzhu's mother back, this is his mother-in-law after all, and he doesn't want to be too rude.
"She has a good personality, although she is a little stubborn but can speak, but she is very afraid of my father, and she is afraid that she wants to go but does not dare to go."
Want to go but don't dare to go? Will my daughter dare to leave if she brings someone to pick her up? Shi Bin couldn't understand.
Knowing that Shi Bin couldn't understand, Yang Mingzhu explained: "Big brother, my mother was taken captive to the north by my father when she was young, so she is very afraid of my father. Now my father's power is much stronger than your Song Dynasty, and my father is more brutal, and he will beat his family violently when he has a temper..."
At this time, Shi Bin understood the meaning of Yang Mingzhu's words. Yang Mingzhu was afraid that her mother would think that the Yuan people would destroy the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later, and if her wife escaped, once she was caught by her husband again, she might not be beaten, but she would lose her life.
sighed helplessly, I thought that things would be very simple, just pick up people, but I didn't expect that the more I analyzed things, the more troublesome it became, Shi Bin regretted such an analysis, and hated that he had to take care of the 3721 troops and take them captive.
Seeing this, Wang San, who was sitting on the side, knew what Shi Bin was thinking, quietly rubbed Shi Bin, and gave a 'don't' look. It was just a thought, but after looking at Wang San, Shi Bin had no choice but to give up this idea.
"Big brother, why don't you bring Yang Mingzhu's father back?" Wang San said, looking pitiful.
What the! Shi Bin felt incredible when he heard this. Picking up Yang Mingzhu's mother is already his bottom line, and he still wants to bring back a hundred households of Yuan people? Isn't this looking for a lot, isn't it long? If that guy talks nonsense, won't he be dragged into the ditch?
Looking at Shi Bin's angry eyes, Wang San was very scared in his heart, he knew that this was very excessive, but it seemed to be the most enjoyable way. At this time, he, Zhi Duoxing, could only say the same idiot-like suggestion.
The angry Shi Bin was a little undecided, and it was not impossible to take Yang Mingzhu's parents to Chengdu, but he had to ensure that they did not rebel and would not pose a threat to himself. But how to guarantee it?
When Shi Bin thought about this, Wang San immediately said: "Big brother, I promise to find a way to make Yang Mingzhu's parents never rebel and not pose any threat to you and the brothers." ”
Shi Bin didn't make any response after hearing this, still bowing his head and pondering. Wang San signaled Yang Mingzhu to hurry up and express his position, and he couldn't let Shi Bin make the decision not to bring back Yang Mingzhu's father.
"Big brother, please bring back both my parents. I will do everything I can to make them loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and never rebel. If so, if I can't, please kill me and my parents! ”
Yang Mingzhu said all the cruel words, Shi Bin didn't expect that he felt in a dilemma when he was forced to this point. He didn't want to lose his brother because of a female adulterer's parents, and he didn't want a female adulterer's parents to pose a threat to him.
"Big brother, the key to my view of the matter is Yang Mingzhu's father, as long as he is made to Song, everything is simple. We just need to find a way to get him to join us. Wang San finally said a clever word.
Of course, this was to reduce Shi Bin's pressure, and it did reduce his pressure. Finally, Shi Bin nodded with difficulty and expressed his willingness to take Yang Mingzhu's father back, but emphasized that if her father was disobedient, he would inevitably take his life.
Being willing to take this step has made Yang Mingzhu feel extremely happy, and he thanked Shi Bin again and again.
Such a discussion made Shi Bin very tired, and only said that he would go north to pick up Yang Mingzhu's parents as soon as possible, as for how to pick it up, let's talk about it. Then an eviction order was issued.
The two understood that Shi Bin was very unhappy, and immediately left Shi Bin's study obediently, leaving Shi Bin alone to catch his breath.
