Chapter 259: Encountering Yu Jue

Wu Qian is a person who believes in his word, Shi Bin still believes that he can keep it secret, but this list is too important, even if he believes in Wu Qian, he doesn't trust his subordinates very much, including his henchmen. So when Wu Qian proposed to hand over the list of party lurkers to him, he was politely refused.

After hearing this, Wu Qian was dissatisfied, and because Li Yuxi's tone was still soft, he patiently asked why.

Don't you believe that he Wu has the potential to keep the top secrets of the party and the Xiang clan from being leaked? I'm afraid that Li Yuxi's explanation will make Wu Qian so angry that he will see the king of Hades on the spot, so he has to find an excuse to make him comfortable listening.

Jia Ling is an expert in this regard, and her brows furrowed into her mind, "Lord Wu, this document is too important, even Princess Yuxi can't take it out at will, and several leaders need to make decisions together." If you don't believe me, you can send a few people with the princess to check if there is such a list. ”

Seeing that Jia Ling was speaking eloquently, Wu Qian knew that there was no point in dwelling on this for the time being, so he expressed his hope to see this list as soon as possible. Now that he has eased down, Shi Bin felt that it was better to show sincerity, so he said, "Or now I will ask Princess Yuxi to fetch it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will take time, but it can only be seen by you alone, and you can't let anyone know about it for the time being, including His Majesty Li Zong." ”

understood that this was because he was afraid of leaking secrets, and Wu Qian also knew that the Song Dynasty was now decayed and easy to leak, so he had to reluctantly agree. In order to make Wu Qian more comfortable, Shi Bin said good things about him like honey on his lips, which was a little compensation. Although the old fritter knew that it was a lie, he could only choose to accept it, after all, there were great benefits waiting for him not far away.

After talking about this, I naturally have to leave. Wu Qian definitely didn't have time to talk to them about the dragon gate formation. turned around and was about to go out, but he heard a familiar voice, "Who is Wu Jaefu meeting in person?" Why haven't I seen that man come out for so long, I have something important to discuss with him. Don't talk nonsense, go and report it. ”

Immediately, a subordinate hurriedly entered the study, "Lord Qiyu, Lord Yu Yu, the envoy of Sichuan pacification, the general consul of Sichuan and the transfer envoy of Kuizhou Road, ask to see him." ”

As soon as he heard that Yu Jue was coming, Wu Qian immediately became nervous, and what he was talking about at the moment must not be known to anyone, including Yu Jue. So even Shi Bin and a few people have come, it's best not to let him know.

Since he can be Zaifu, he naturally has a quick wit, and he doesn't think much about the order that his face does not change, "Take Lord Yu to the living room, and I will see him there." ”

Shi Bin and the others didn't want Yu Jue to know that they had been to Wu Qian, so they were very satisfied with Wu Qian's arrangement and admired his intelligence. I am even happier to know that Yu Jue is already in Lin'an, so they don't have to travel long distances, just go directly to his residence in Lin'an to meet.

Immediately walked to the back door of the Wu Mansion, and just after arriving at the door, Shi Bin spoke: "Since Yu Jue is already in Lin'an, let's do it, the first thing to do is to see where he stays, and it is best to find out why he came." ”

"You mean that later, we will go into the Wu Mansion to ask Wu Qian about this?" Li Yuxi asked.

"Just ask, just listen to it." Shi Bin smiled slyly at Xu Feng and said, "Xu Feng, go listen to it." ”

Knowing what Shi Bin meant and knowing that he couldn't ask Wu Qian, Xu Feng naturally carried out his order very faithfully, and soon brought back the answer: Yuan Ren planned to break through the Yangtze River defense line from Xiangfan and Sichuan-Shaanxi.

This answer was not unexpected by Shi Bin and others, but they didn't expect Yuan Ren to move so quickly. The pre-war preparations generally took more than a year, which meant that at the end of the 11th year of Chunyou (1251) or the beginning of the 12th year of Chunyou (1252), the Yuan people would invade the Song Dynasty again. In this way, the time is already very tight, no wonder Yu Jue, a great official of Xinjiang, actually traveled thousands of miles from Sichuan to discuss with Wu Qian without the edict of the Song court, and relying on those post guards to send letters may not necessarily attract the attention of the Song court.

Knowing such a big bad news, Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Li Yu all looked at each other and smiled, and Shi Bin even cheered in a low voice: "God really help me, God help me!" Hahaha! ”

Jia Ling was not disgusted when she smiled at first, but when she heard Shi Bin say, 'God help me', Jia Ling immediately faced the bottom of a pot and shouted in a low voice: "What kind of hysteria do you have?" It's going to be miserable again, how can you cheer, not afraid that some people will take advantage of this to make a living? ”

Of course, what Jia Ling said was right, Shi Bin also thought that 'good men don't fight with women', and apologized quite open-mindedly, but emphasized that his cheers were because he could resist the Yuan again, and Li Yuxi's marriage was not afraid that someone would come out to make a stumbling block.

"Then how do you say you go to Lord Yu and tell him about Princess Yuxi's marriage to Zhao Gang? He entered the Wu Mansion with his front foot, and we followed with the back foot and said that Kang Yuan is not good, and no one likes to be watched. Jia Ling reminded.

Jia Ling's words must be right, no one likes to be watched, not even beggars, so he has to find a way to say something else to Yu Yu to bring out the topic of Li Yuxi's marriage to Zhao Gang and the alliance with Jia Yidao.

"That's for sure, so we can't go to where Yu Yu is staying so soon. But if you don't go quickly, won't you waste so much time and such a good opportunity if you miss it? Shi Bin said with some embarrassment.

"My lord, I actually think that the matter of forming an alliance is not difficult to solve now. Lord Yu is loyal to the country and goes all out to resist the Yuan, if you know that you are also here, Lin'an may take the initiative to send someone to invite you to talk. ”

Xu Feng's words changed everyone's way of thinking, and there was a reverse thinking. Indeed, if Yu Jue's temperament knew that Shi Bin, a general, had also arrived in Lin'an, where would he let him run away? It was Shi Bin who wanted to sneak back to Jingnan to avoid the war, and it was estimated that Yu Yu would think of something to let him join the war.

"Xu Feng, you have a point. But how did he know that I had come to Lin'an? ”

"It's very simple, let's have a 'chance encounter', but this 'chance encounter' has to talk about a time and place. However, the villain's lack of strategy can only think of this. ”

"You're very modest. It's amazing to think of this strategy, hehe. Jia Ling smiled and continued, "I'll continue." The things that Lord Yu wants to discuss with Wu Qian once will definitely not come to a conclusion, and he should go to Wu Mansion at least three or four times, so there is no need to worry. He Yu Yu is a person who likes calligraphy and painting, and everywhere he goes, he must go to the antique calligraphy and painting market in the city to treasure for treasures, and we just need to go and wait for the rabbit. ”

It's really good to wait for the rabbit, so that it will seem natural and a little active, otherwise it will be a little unnatural and passive. So Yu Jue's whereabouts were monitored by Xu Feng and several military men with very reconnaissance ability, and within three days, before Yu Jue went to Wu Mansion for the third time, he and Shi Bin 'happened' to collide in the antique market.

Yu Jue was naturally surprised and delighted when he saw Shi Bin, although it was not that without Shi Bin, he would not be able to resist the Yuan, but with him, it would be much easier to resist the Yuan. I thought that with the hundreds of Shi Bin guns sent by Shi Bin, he would be able to imitate his own high-quality guns, even if they were not so good, they would not be much worse, but I didn't expect that repeated trials and trials would not make a gun comparable to Shi Bin, and the performance was still spinning in place, but it was not so easy to explode.

is also a feudal official who is one level higher than Shi Bin, of course Yu Jue can't write everything on his face, seeing Shi Bin is naturally like an old friend for many years while shouting and asking for warmth.

Shi Bin is also an old fritter now, not to mention that he has a heart and no intention, so he naturally pretends to be more like, as if the two are really close friends and they are just coming to Lin'an City to play and visit the market, in short, no one says the purpose first.

Yu Jue was already in a hurry in his heart, and seeing Shi Bin in front of him, it didn't take long for him to take the lead in the topic, "Lord Shi, may I ask why you are in the capital today, I heard that you have been promoted to Jingnan pacification envoy, and you can't leave the region at will in charge of the military and political affairs of the road." ”

Naturally, she wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth, Shi Bin replied with a smile, "Isn't this Princess Yuxi wanting to ask Da Song to help her avenge the destruction of the country?" Naturally, I mentioned it every day under my account, and when the lower official was a little annoyed, he simply took her to Lin'an, wanting to see what the emperor and a few Zaifu adults meant. ”

In this way, all the blame was put on Li Yuxi's head, although Lin Lin'an also came because she changed the reason. Shi Bin's words were flawless, and naturally concealed Yu Jue, and out of politeness, Yu Jue waited for Shi Bin to ask.

"Then why did Lord Yu come to Jingshi? Xia Guan remembered that although the last Yuan people were defeated, the area around Sichuan and Shaanxi was not peaceful. Lord Yu has always been loyal to the country, could it be that the Yuan people are fighting my idea of the Great Song Dynasty again, and you need the assistance of the imperial court? ”

After such a introduction, Yu Jue couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to reply with some indignation, "Indeed." The Yuan people planned to go south from Xiangfan and Sichuan-Shaanxi in more than a year, and I was afraid that the imperial court would discuss peace again, so I would come to Beijing to discuss this matter with a few ministers of the main battle. ”

"I see, hey." Shi Bin also pretended to be disappointed after hearing this, and said, "There are too many rats in the court who are greedy for comfort, I am afraid that Lord Yu will have to work hard to get the emperor's support even if he wants to resist the Yuan." ”

Jia Ling added fuel to the side and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor may not be willing to support Lord Yu now, and will only want to negotiate peace." ”

Yu Jue was naturally puzzled when she heard this, and immediately gave Jia Ling an inquiring look.

"Lord Yu, you recaptured Bazhong and Guangyuan from the Yuan people not long ago, and those people in the court who are greedy for comfort will naturally think that they now have the capital to negotiate with the Yuan people, so even if you want to lead the army to resist the Yuan, it is estimated that it will be difficult, if you insist, I am afraid that you will become the target of public criticism."

The more she listened, the more painful she felt, and the more hopeless she felt. Finally, I couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "I don't know if you and your wife can solve this crisis?" You must know that this Sichuan and Xiangfan must not be lost, as long as you lose a Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely be gone! ”

Of course, the words of the battlefield veteran were right, but Shi Bin didn't want to just bring up Li Yuxi's marriage and the alliance with Jia Nidao now. In his opinion, even if Sichuan is to be lost, it is not so fast, and if he is there, he can take it back even if he loses it, so he is not in a hurry.

Naturally, Yu Jue's anger was vented again, "Lord Yu is really powerful, and he is right, but no one supports him, and it is useless for adults to think about it." It's useless to just be a weak person with a single strength, and even if the lower officials are on the side of the adults, the strength is still not enough, it's really troublesome. ”

Maybe the anger has been exhausted, and the square inch has been messed up, Yu Jue didn't want to say more, and said in frustration: "What Lord Shi said is very true, these powers are indeed not enough. Then what is the attitude of your father-in-law, Lord Jia? ”

If before, Shi Bin would naturally immediately express his intention to form an alliance, but now he intends to grind Yu Yu again, "I don't know my father-in-law's attitude very well, you and him have never been on good terms, the last time you cooperated was because you were willing to donate your previous suspicions for the safety of the Great Song Dynasty and accepted my illegal use of troops, but he may not have such a big heart as you, but he must be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty." The attitude of the lower officials is clear, I don't like peace talks, I prefer to see the truth in the sword and gun. ”

Yu Jue, who heard this answer, was a little happier. Maybe he was too tired and Shi Bin told each other the foothold, and soon left depressed, looking like a lifeless old man from a distance.
