Chapter 255: Three Allies

Hearing this method made Jia Ling very happy, because Yu Jue and Jia Yidao had only profited together in the northbound anti-Yuan battle not long ago, and Yu Jue still owed Shi Bin a lot of favors. With his character, even if he doesn't help Jia Yidao and Shi Bin, he won't fall into the ground, but if he wants to become an ally, it will take some effort.

Shi Songzhi has never dealt with Zheng Qingzhi, if Zheng Qingzhi wants to go east, he will definitely go west, although he is also very greedy and shameless, but as long as he is given enough benefits in this matter, he should not be in the way.

Wu Qian is even better, he is a staunch anti-Yuan general, as long as he is anti-Yuan, he will support it, so if you can pull him as an ally, it will be very easy to pass this level.

Excited to find a solution to the problem, Shi Bin and Jia Ling got up early in the morning, and Jia Ling even hummed a brisk tune.

Erzhuang, who was originally in a daze in the tent, naturally came out to explore when he heard this minor tune, and saw that Shi Bin and his wife were not in a hurry to be happy, although they were puzzled but relieved. This performance shows that they have found a way, but of course it is a good sign that they are not anxious, but time is still very tight, and they must go back to Ezhou to discuss with Jia Yidao first, and the rest of the things are possible. So Erzhuang, a guy who is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, urged everyone to set off in a quarter of an hour after getting up on the grounds that 'the cold air is important in the early morning and exercise as soon as possible'.

After that, it was natural to race against time to go to Ezhou, Shi Bin and the others no longer dared to procrastinate, and even at the post station, they just bought a few baked cakes and drank a few sips of cold water.

Hurry up and finally arrived at the city of Ezhou within four days, at this time Shi Bin and Jia Ling hesitated in their hearts, and now it is time to turn on the lights, and the city gate is about to close. Enter? Or not?

After glancing at each other, the two did not reach an agreement, Shi Bin had a feeling of heroism and righteousness, thinking that sticking out his head was a knife and shrinking his head was also a knife, and it was inevitable to enter early and enter late to scold, so it was better to simply go in early and be scolded. Jia Ling, the eldest lady who is rarely scolded, didn't think so, this time she scolded her for being afraid that she couldn't stand it, and wanted to find a safe haven to hide, although she wanted to help Shi Bin before, but now she retreated.

At this time, Er Zhuang, who was on the side, spoke, "Uncle, eldest lady." Erzhuang has a small way, maybe he can let the old man lower the fire. ”

"Speak quickly!" Jia Ling urged impatiently.

"Did you think of any good way to survive this crisis?"

"How do you know?"

"The villain was woken up that day by your beautiful singing, Miss." Er Zhuang said with some embarrassment.

"I did think of some solutions, it should be pretty good, and it will have some effect." Shi Bin said with certainty.

"Erzhuang has received a lot of favors from the eldest lady, and is willing to pass this method to the master for you first. With this foreshadowing, the master should not be so popular. Er Zhuang said with some confidence.

Indeed, it was Shi Bin and his wife who made the mistake, Jia Rudao had no reason to be angry with Erzhuang, who sent the message, even if he blamed Erzhuang, he would not do too much with this henchman. And Shi Bin and his wife have already figured out a solution to the problem, Jia Rudao's fire will naturally be much smaller when they and their husband and wife go in, and they will not be scolded, at most they will be severely reprimanded.

Shi Bin and Jia Ling were very happy at this time, Jia Ling was very proud that he had such a considerate servant, Shi Bin immediately explained his method to Er Zhuang in detail, and then let him enter the city after telling him the main points again.

"Madam, my husband has been taught by you and Wang San for many years and thought of an opening statement, which should be considered a clever plan..." Speaking of this, Shi Bin stopped talking, just smiled smugly.

understood that Shi Bin was pretending to be profound, and Jia Ling didn't bother to care, because she also believed that Shi Bin had come up with a good opening statement. I was a little depressed along the way, but it was good to be able to smile a little.

"That's good, but don't let the slave family down..." Jia Ling immediately smiled back.

"Of course not, but it's hard to say how much of an effect this opening sentence will have on my father." Shi Bin hesitated.

No one can say for sure this kind of thing, although Jia Yidao is jokingly called the 'cricket prime minister', he is a capable minister, and it is difficult for ordinary tricks to work, but it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared, so Jia Ling naturally expressed encouragement.

Not long after, Er Zhuang came back and carefully told Shi Bin and Jia Ling about Jia Yidao's situation. As expected, Jia Rudao learned that Shi Bin's method was not so popular when he learned that the news passed on by Erzhuang, and he signaled to take Shi Bin and Jia Ling into the mansion as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the door of the mansion, Shi Bin pulled Jia Ling to run to Jia Nidao's study, panting to the door of the study, and before Jia Nidao and Jia Ling could react, Shi Bin shouted happily: "Father-in-law, there is a great thing, a great thing is coming." ”

Seeing this, Jia Ling immediately understood what Shi Bin's so-called 'clever plan' was, it turned out to be a preemptive strike and reversal of black and white. Of course, I know that Jia Yidao will not fall into the trap, but this 'clever plan' is not bad as a delaying strategy. At least this will allow Jia Nidao's anger to drop even lower, and their face can be hung up.

Jia Rudao naturally wouldn't be smashed by Shi Bin's false words, but with the news sent in by Erzhuang before, he was indeed no longer angry, and said angrily: "Shi Bin! Less flamboyant, let me ask you, what happened to your brother Zhao Gang and Princess Xixia getting married? ”

"Father-in-law, that's what I'm talking about! Now that Zhao Gang and Princess Yuxi are married, wouldn't our Great Song Dynasty have more strength in resisting the Yuan? The princess of Xixia can help us gather some party weapons, but she can't do things independently, she must rely on us, which is beneficial to us and harmless! Shi Bin said 'happily'.

Shi Bin wanted to speak, but was stopped by a gesture from Jia Rudao, "My virtuous son-in-law, you know that my father-in-law is very happy to divert my anger like this." But didn't you tell me about what you want to say a long time ago? Is there anything else? ”

Naturally, there was nothing else to say, so Shi Bin had to answer honestly: "Father-in-law, no, it's the ones that Erzhuang passed on before." ”

"In that case, you don't have to speak to me anymore. You said that it is indeed a way to unite Yu Jue, Shi Songzhi, and Wu Qian, but do you know how much effort it takes and how many interests are sacrificed? In my opinion, this is a bit more than worth the cost. Jia Rudao said with certainty.

Shi Bin never thought about this question, and only thought that Shi Songzhi might have some trouble there, but Yu Jue and Wu Qianna should be easy.

Knowing that Shi Bin hadn't understood yet, Jia Rudao said again, "Do you think that if Yu Yu owes you a little favor, he will definitely help you, Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi will help us if they don't deal with each other, and Wu Qian's dedication to resisting Yuan will not stumble us?" ”

"Of course not, but they shouldn't take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Why not? They also have their own interest groups, and if they really don't want them to do bad, they have to pay a price, and if they still want them to help, they have to pay a bigger price. Jia Rudao sneered and said, "The snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, why don't they watch from the wall or even fall into the well?" ”

understands that what Jia Nidao said is the truth, and the three of them will not simply form an alliance with Jia Nidao and him, even if they are to watch from the wall, they will have to pay a lot of price. This remark made Shi Bin feel anxious again, "Father-in-law, what should I do?" But it doesn't seem to be much of a problem right now, and maybe things aren't as bad as you think. ”

"The sea is calmest before the storm, don't you know?"

"Do you think the method that the little son-in-law proposed before is feasible?"

"That way, uh... Yes. But the key is how to spend the least price to make those three people on our side, so that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Then find a way to keep the three of them in the same boat as us." Shi Bin said with certainty.

"Of course, this is the best way, there are common interests to not be afraid of backwater, the question is how to get them in the same boat with us? They're not that easy to fool. Jia Rudao hesitated.

"My son-in-law recently got a Jingnan firm, you should know, or I will give them a part of the profits?"

"It's not safe to use some yellow and white things, at most to ensure that they won't fall to Zheng Qingzhi and fall into the well for us. And this method has to be a little exquisite. ”

Naturally, I understand that money is not too important to these high-ranking officials, and it is easy to be self-defeating. If you send less, they will think that it is disrespectful, and if you send too much, you will suffer a loss, which is not easy to master.

"What then?" Shi Bin felt frustrated and tired after listening to Jia Nidao's words, and at the same time sighed that Jia Nidao was really an old man.

"It's better to think carefully about what they need and take the right medicine." Jia Rudao groaned.

The right medicine? Shi Bin immediately agreed when he heard this, and immediately thought of what Yu Yu needed - guns and ammunition.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law that Lord Yu wants has already thought of it, he still wants to go north after capturing Guangyuan and Bazhong, but the troops are insufficient. Last time, he saw that I had brought some firearms to fight against the Yuan army, and I believed that he had long wanted to get another batch of new guns to make up for the lack of troops, so I would give him some. ”

"That's a good idea. What about Shi Songzhi? Jia Rudao asked.

"Father-in-law, Lord Shi Songzhi seems to be the grandson of Shi Hao, the right servant of Shangshu, and the nephew of Shi Miyuan, the right prime minister, right?"

"You know all this?" Jia Rudao said with some surprise, "Yes." His family has deep roots, but it has recently decayed, and now he lives at home. ”

"This official naturally still has to use some care, so I asked my subordinates to check the ministers of the court. Since his family is declining, let's help him? I believe that Master Shi's recital can still be listened to by the sky..." Shi Bin said meaningfully.

"Do you mean to let Shi Songzhi write a copy to support you and me, and we will ensure his comeback in front of the emperor?"

"Exactly!"

"The solution is indeed good, then that's it, I hope that old fool will not talk lightly about peace. Remind him of this when you go to negotiate with him. Jia Rudao said solemnly, "Then what should Wu Qian do?" He neither leads troops nor is greedy for money, and I still have opinions about your father-in-law, even if he is still upright, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take this opportunity to slander the emperor. ”

"Father-in-law, I think the best thing to do is Lord Wu, you and him have different political views, as long as you have a private letter and an anti-Yuan song, you can win his support."

Private messages are not friends and rarely write, because private messages are easy to be considered friends and easy to be involved in losing their future. Jia Yidao and Wu Qian are not in harmony, where would they want to write a private message to him? Naturally, he hesitated, thinking that as long as there was the support of Yu Jue and Shi Songzhi, it should be enough.

Shi Bin insisted that Jia Rudao write a private letter, of course he was selfish, and having such an upright and powerful ally as Wu Qian against Yuan Daye was a great help, and it was also very beneficial to his own growth. Seeing that Jia Rudao refused, Jia Ling, a daughter who knew her father well, immediately lied to Jiao, and soon Jia Rudao surrendered and agreed to write a private letter, and it became one for Yu Jue, Shi Songzhi, and Wu Qian.
