Chapter 316: Half the Battle

After thinking about this, Shi Bin braved the cold wind the next day to take Xu Feng and his party to visit Lu Wende, who is now leading the army to be stationed in Longxing Mansion on Jiangnan West Road.

Along the way, I hurried and finally arrived at Longxing Mansion within half a month, and then entered Longxing City regardless of the saddle horse fatigue and visited Lu Wende.

Lu Wende was very surprised by Shi Bin's sudden arrival, now Shi Bin is the Commander-in-Chief of Sichuan and the pacification envoy of Jinghu South Road, much more powerful than him, who has been appeased all the way, and his work is much busier, how could he suddenly visit? The only explanation is that Shi Bin came for something, so he immediately went out of the house to greet him.

As soon as he saw Lu Wende Shi Bin, he smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Thank you Brother Shi for your concern, although the battle has been continuous during this time, my body can still withstand it, and this is thanks to your firearms, otherwise it will be really difficult for me Lu Wende to withstand the attack of the Yuan people. Thank you, Brother Shi! "Lu Wende was originally a woodcutter, although he is also a dignitary now, but he still speaks briskly and crisply, and does not participate in lies, which makes Shi Bin very comfortable to listen to.

"Brother Lu can have such a good condition, and my little brother is very happy. There is no need to mention those few broken guns, just a little effort, the key is that you can manage the army rigorously in order to withstand the attack of the Yuanren. Shi Bin also said very sincerely.

"It's really hard to find fault with the way you talk now, and that guy Wang San is too powerful." Lu Wende pointed at Shi Bin with a smile and said, "Brother must have something to do here, but it's rare for us to see each other, let's have a drink or two before talking about anything else, what do you think?" ”

I didn't want to talk about interests as soon as I saw Lu Wende, which was not what Shi Bin wanted, since Lu Wende was willing to drink first and then talk about things, he naturally wanted to do so, and immediately agreed. Then under the guidance of Lu Wende's personal guard, he went to the wing room to rest.

Anyway, things will come to light sooner or later, so Shi Bin fell asleep, just waiting for Lu Wende to invite him to the family banquet.

Soon it was dinner time, Shi Bin's biological clock was very accurate, and he woke up at the end of the day, and went to the restaurant in Lu Mansion to wait, which also saved Lu Wende the trouble of sending someone to invite him.

At the family banquet, Shi Bin and Lu Wende ate a lot of Haisai, as if they would never be full; I talked about it for a long time, and there were indeed endless words. After all, it is rare for people in the same way to see each other, and they naturally want to make this wine a little longer, so that the time when interests are involved will come later, so both of them have the intention to drink less and talk more, and do not discourage alcohol.

But it can't be delayed for long, people will always get drunk, and the time for interest negotiation will always come, and finally the two of them drank a few glasses and got drunk together.

Three o'clock is the negotiation time agreed by the two of them the day before, and both soldiers naturally have a very strong sense of time, and they have already arrived in the conference hall at two o'clock.

Since they all arrived, there was no need to wait until three o'clock to start, Lu Wende asked his subordinates to put on a pot of good dragon wells and motioned to Shi Bin to get down to business.

"Brother Lu, junior brother heard that Lord Li Zengbo's battle on Jinghu North Road is not good, and he has asked the imperial court several times to transfer you to his account to help resist the Yuan?" For Lu Wende, a straightforward man, Shi Bin didn't want to go around the bend, so he simply went straight to the point.

"Yes, I heard from my colleagues in the DPRK and China that I have asked to play three times, but the emperor has not sent it to the central government, and he has not yet made a reply." Lu Wende responded.

"Interesting, although the situation is not good, Lord Li, it doesn't seem to be so urgent, why have you repeatedly asked the court to transfer you? He doesn't know that you already have a heavy burden on your shoulders? Shi Bin feigned anger.

"Brother Shi still understands me, in fact, brother, I still want to go, but not for myself, but for my brothers and nephews, to help them find a good background." Lu Wende said with a smile.

Sure enough, as Shi Bin expected, although it was difficult for Lu Wende to be promoted, he wanted to find a good background for the male of the Lu family to ensure that his Lu family would be prosperous.

"Brother Lu, the younger brother has a method that is the best of both worlds, I don't know if Brother Lu is willing to listen to it, please forgive me if you are offended." Shi Bin said very earnestly.

Knowing that although Shi Bin can play an official tone now, he will not harm people, Lu Wende is naturally willing to say a way.

"The younger brother has two subordinates who are the clan elder brothers of my second wife, and one is even my own brother, and I have had little credit before, so I want them to join the army that supports Lord Li to resist the Yuan. Brother Lu also sent his clan relatives to participate in the reinforcements, and you and I joined forces to support Lord Li together, how about it? ”

Lu Wende listened to Shi Bin's method and did not respond. In his opinion, this is taking credit from him, but it is not without benefits, and he can use this to talk to Shi Bin about conditions to achieve some of his own goals. What's more, his burden is a bit heavy now, and it is difficult to get promoted, so it is the right way to let his clan get promoted as soon as possible.

He also hoped that like Jia Nidao and Shi Bin, Weng and his son-in-law would occupy the four roads, as long as the two did not turn against the Southern Song Dynasty, no one would be able to easily bring them down, even if Li Zong was dissatisfied, he would not dare to mess around.

So after pondering, he said: "Brother Shi's method is feasible, but Lord Li asked me for support and did not invite my brother, if you are reckless and send someone forward, I am afraid that you will leave a handle." ”

Expecting such a show, Shi Bin replied with a smile: "I have to ask Brother Lu for help, and recommend my subordinates Sai Zilong and Sai Zhang Fei to Master Li." Of course, the brother will never let Brother Lu suffer, and there will be a good reward after the matter is completed. ”

"This..." Lu Wende deliberately dragged out his voice and pretended to hesitate.

"Brother Lu. You and I have dealt with each other for many years, and you should know who I am. As long as Brother Lu helps me do this, the younger brother will give you 300 Shi Bin guns, 300,000 bullets, 5,000 wooden handles, and 30 tiger squatting cannons! Shi Bin said very simply, but then said in an uncompromising tone: "Brother Lu, this is the bottom line of the younger brother, please don't talk about the price anymore." If you agree, you will make a deal, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, you and I are still brothers, if you want to buy firearms, just come. ”

"Hehehe," Lu Wende shook his head with a smile when he heard the words and said: "It is said that you Shi Bin will settle accounts and be willing to make a profit, but I, Lu Wende, didn't believe it very much, but now I believe it." But brother, I'm afraid things are not as easy as I thought. ”

In Shi Bin's plan, he thought that Lu Wende should agree quickly when he heard this price, and even if he didn't agree, he wouldn't have this tone. Because it's obviously not that he's not greedy enough, but that things do have something he didn't expect.

"Brother, although Li Zengbo doesn't care about the faction, as long as he resists the Yuan, he will accept it, but he is a very defensive person, and I am afraid he will not accept it if you send his subordinates to support such a powerful character. Even with my support, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Lu Wende said very seriously.

"Very defensive?" Shi Bin was puzzled, and then asked: "Brother Lu, I, Shi Bin, don't personally lead my troops to go, let alone rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, why is he guarding against my subordinates?" ”

Seeing that Shi Bin obviously didn't know what Li Zengbo was, Lu Wende had no choice but to smile and explain. After some talking, Shi Bin understood that Li Zengbo wanted to completely bring Lu Wende under his command and be driven by him, rather than letting Lu Wende just be a firefighter and leave after the emergency. It is precisely because of this that Lu Wende deliberately asked his colleagues in the DPRK and China to persuade Li Zong to let him keep Li Zengbo's recital from being released.

It turned out that Lu Wende was afraid that his own forces would be divided, and although Li Zengbo could not control him, Shi Bin might divide his forces and weaken him. Lu Wende was afraid that he would be dragged by the trick, but now he was kindly reminded by his friendship, and Shi Bin was very grateful to him in his heart at this time.

Shi Bin hesitated, did he lie to Lu Wende and say that he didn't care about the division of the forces, as long as he could save the people of Limin, or told him the truth that he planned to occupy Jinghu North Road after defeating the Yuan people?

"Brother

It's not that easy, are they? I just don't want to be weakened by Li Zengbo, so I asked your father-in-law and friends in the DPRK to help me keep dragging it out, after all, now the Yuan people are not really going south, they are just about to move. Lu Wende said with some embarrassment.

understands that although Lu Wende has not studied, he must be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not think of rebelling against the Yuan or establishing himself as king, so he is very entangled. He Shi Bin doesn't think so, he is 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king', and he has long planned to oppose the Song Dynasty and destroy the Yuan, so he is not entangled.

What to do? How did Lu Wendeken send his subordinates and his own people into Jinghu North Road to fight against the Yuan with Li Zengbo? Shi Bin's mind was spinning rapidly, hoping to find a good solution.

The word 'weakening the force' flashed repeatedly in his mind, and after a while, Shi Bin realized that if Lu Wende wanted him to support him, he would definitely have to make Lu Wende not think that he had suffered a loss, and the power had been weakened. Thinking of this, Shi Bin lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then looked up at Lu Wende with a smile, and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I have a way to make us both meritorious and not weakened by Li Zengbo." ”

"Brother, say it!" As soon as Lu Wende heard that there was a way, he immediately urged loudly.

"Actually, it's very simple, because Brother Lu is a military attaché, he can't fight Li Zengbo, so he can only drag it, if the younger brother helps you pull a few more civilian officials to support you, and change the transfer of troops to borrow troops, wouldn't it be good?"

'Borrowed soldiers? Lu Wende repeated the word. Borrowing troops means that the control is temporarily returned to Li Zengbo, and the control must be returned to Lu Wende after the battle, and the losses in the battle must be made up, which is not much for the owner of the army, and only a few pawns have died.

Thinking of this, Lu Wende raised his eyebrows and thanked Shi Bin loudly. If Shi Bin can really realize his strategy, then not only will he not lose but he will also be promoted, how can he not be happy?

"Brother Lu, it seems that you agree with my approach?"

"Agree, of course agree, how can you disagree with such a clever plan? Even if you let your subordinates make meritorious contributions and not be weakened, it is really a good way, and it is estimated that you can think of it, brother. Hahaha! ”

"Then we'll settle it." Shi Bin smiled, but after turning around, he grimaced again. Not for anything else, but to regret that he just promised to give Lu Wende such a large sum of arms for nothing. The eldest husband is hard to chase after him, but now he wants to go back but can't ask for it, how can he not be painful?

As if seeing what Shi Bin was thinking, Lu Wende smiled and said, "Brother Shi has helped me so much, how can I not express it, big brother?" I don't want the arms you promised before, and my brother still keeps it for fighting with the Yuan people. ”

Don't want it? Shi Bin thought he had a problem with his ears. He turned his head to look at Lu Wende, but his face didn't look like he was joking.

He wanted to accept Lu Wende's kindness, but reason told him that he would never be able to. I had to find a reason to prevaricate: "The matter has not been done yet, and it is done to talk about guns." Even if it was done, it was done to lend troops to Li Zengbo, and it was nothing for the younger brother to send an arms to Brother Lu. In the end, he slapped his swollen face and became fat, boasting that his firearms were rusty in the warehouse, and Lu Wende took it.

Knowing that Shi Bin was a good-looking person, Lu Wende did not poke it on the spot, saying that he would accept a gift of 100,000 rounds of ammunition from Shi Bin at most 100,000 Shi Bin guns, and there was no negotiation.

Since the road had been paved before, Shi Bin contacted Jia Yidao, Yu Jue, Wu Qian and Zhao Kui, asking them to support their plan to borrow troops, Zheng Qingzhi and Uncle Xie Fang had to pretend to be deaf and dumb for fear of Shi Bin's revenge, so it didn't take long for Li Bin to order: Shi Bin and Lu Wende each sent two generals to support Li Zengbo to resist the Yuan, and the army was temporarily led by Shi Bin.

Lu Wende, who had received such a great benefit, was very grateful to Shi Bin, and held banquets one after another, and said that if Shi Bin wanted to help in the future, he would definitely help him as long as he could help him.

Although it took a lot of effort, he was finally able to lead the army into Jinghu North Road in a dignified manner, and Shi Bin was so happy that he woke up laughing for three nights. ()
