Chapter 485: The Old Treacherous and Cunning (2)

Looking at the five large plates on the table and thinking about what Xu Feng and Lu Wende had said before, Shi Bin realized that he had almost forgotten one thing: dividing dumplings.

After eating this matter, Shi Bin immediately raised his spirit and said: "Xu Feng, pass on my order, and each person in the pro-military camp will divide twenty dumplings!" As for the rest, I left it to the cooks to deal with it themselves. ”

Now I feel tired when I move, although I live to ninety-nine after a hundred steps after eating, but my stomach is stuffed with dumplings Shi Bin doesn't want to move now.

Feeling a heavy stomach, Shi Bin couldn't help but think of a very interesting question: Will he be able to eat at least thirty dumplings as Xu Feng said when he gets old? Is it possible to be strangled to death? How many do the elderly eat nowadays and they will be full?

Thinking so crankily naturally has no answer, and even Shi Bin himself feels a little ridiculous. So he opened his mouth and asked Lu Wende: "Brother Lu, my brother wants to ask a question, is Lord Zhao's considered an edible one?" ”

"Lord Zhao? Brother is talking about Cho Jae-fu? Lu Wende was obviously a little surprised when Shi Bin suddenly asked this question, "What do you mean by this, brother?" Could it be that you want to see how much more Zaisuke can eat? ”

Of course, I don't think that Shi Bin will be full at such a critical juncture, and he has nothing to do, and there must be a deep meaning in understanding Zhao Kui's appetite. So Lu Wende gave him an inquiring look.

This question is too abrupt, which will make Lu Wende a little confused, so Shi Bin explained with a smile: "Brother, I remember that those who can eat are in good health, and those who are weak generally have no appetite. ”

Appetite? This time, Lu Wende understood what Shi Bin was planning, and he planned to use food to explore Zhao Kui's bottom. If it can be proved that Zhao Kui is deceiving them, then he will be in an advantageous position when negotiating.

Looking at Lu Wende's sudden realization, Shi Bin felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, I am afraid that few people can really think of this kind of new way.

"Brother Lu, what kind of food do we Lord Zhao usually like to eat?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Lord Zhao is a native of Hengshan, Jinghu South Road, and naturally likes to eat peppercorns, pepper and ginger, and likes to bring some spicy food. His favourites are plum cabbage button pork, fish head in sauce and steamed eggs. Lu Wende said with certainty.

It turned out that he was still a fellow countryman, Shi Bin said secretly in his heart. So he asked Lu Wende how much rice Zhao Kui usually eats in a meal, and Lu Wende's answer was that there were at least three taels for lunch and dinner.

Rice bucket! It's almost in the coffin, and you can still eat three or two meals a meal. Shi Bin sighed in his heart.

Knowing himself and knowing that he has won all battles, and now that he has learned what Zhao Kui likes to eat and how much he eats at times, Shi Bin is confident that he can make a plan for these.

"Brother Lu, we must have these three dishes in the dishes we will have for tomorrow's banquet for Lord Zhao, and what you and I have to do is not to persuade wine but to eat. The brother was eager to see if he could eat as well as he used to be. Shi Bin said in a deep voice.

Knowing that Shi Bin was not a drunkard, Lu Wende also wanted to find out whether Zhao Kui was deceiving himself, so he agreed without hesitation. And said that he asked Shi Bin to persuade more, he was not good at speaking, so he could only help beat the side drum.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't embarrass you. But please also say a few words when the eldest brother should speak, don't be a stuffy gourd. The most important thing is to get a head start. ”

After the two reached a consensus, they immediately listed the menu for the next day's banquet: plum cabbage button meat, fish head with sauce and fragrant, steamed eggs, fried pork liver, cured beef, donkey meat hot pot, stir-fried dried meat, Huaishan pork rib soup, vegetarian fried garlic sprouts, and cabbage.

Of course, you must be well prepared to fight with Zhao Kui, an old man, and the first thing you need is to be energetic and sleep enough. So this time, Shi Bin and Lu Wende slept at the hour of Hai, and did not get up until the next hour, and slept for five hours.

When the time came, the two went out of the camp to visit Zhao Kui's camp. When I saw him, he was still the same as if he could see Hades at any time.

Of course, he didn't come to admire Zhao Kui's walking, Shi Bin opened his mouth and said, "Lord Zaifu, Lord Lu and I want to invite you to my tent for a banquet at noon, and please appreciate your face." ”

"Please rest assured, I will definitely go, I was rude yesterday, how can I lose it again this time?" Zhao Kui replied with a smile.

The invitation has been served, and Shi Bin and Lu Wende naturally want to go back to prepare for specific matters. But before he left the camp, Zhao Kui said, "Lord Lu, Lord Shi, please stay." ”

The two looked back and found that Zhao Kui slowly walked over and said, "Lord Shi, I have a deep friendship with Lord Lu and I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have a lot to say to him." If you have something to do, go first, and then I will come to the banquet with Master Lu. ”

Sure enough, they have to be broken individually! Shi Bin said secretly. How could Shi Bin let Zhao Kui's little trick succeed? Fortunately, he had already reached a consensus with Lu Wende before, and Shi Bin calmly said that he had nothing important to do, and hoped to hear the story of Zhao Kui and Lu Wende fighting together before.

Seeing that Shi Bin was sticking to Zhao Kui like kraft candy, there was no way to give him an eviction order as a master, so he had to allow Shi Bin to enter the tent together to listen to his conversation with Lu Wende.

However, after talking a few words, Zhao Kui found that Lu Wende and Shi Bin had formed an alliance, and they obviously had the intention of resisting him together. The chat had lost its meaning, and Zhao Kui could only say again that he was low on energy and needed to rest, so he kicked the two out of the camp.

"Brother Lu, it seems that our Zhao Zaifu really wants to defeat you and me, no wonder he can be the prime minister, so scheming." Shi Bin said with a smile, "I'm afraid we have to observe carefully and be more careful at noon." ”

"Yes, we can only trust each other, otherwise sooner or later we will be broken by Lord Zhao, and even make the two of us fight each other." Lu Wende said with some worry.

In fact, the two of them didn't want to stay together like this all the time, but in order to prevent Zhao Kui from cheating, they could only respond to all changes with the same and use this stupidest way to resist a possible attack. And this situation made Zhao Kui feel a headache, he never expected the two to be so colluded.

It didn't take long for lunchtime to arrive, and Zhao Kui also arrived as promised. Shi Bin and Lu Wende started to act according to the previous design.

"Lord Zhao, Shi Bin heard that you were originally a scholar back then, and later you set out with your father from Rong?"

"That's true, before the Jin Kingdom bullied me, no one in the Great Song Dynasty invaded the south repeatedly, and then I felt that the scholar was useless, so I threw my pen into Rong." Zhao Kui replied.

"Brother Shi, the Zhao family is the Gaomen Wang family of my Great Song Dynasty, his great-ancestor is the Northern Song Dynasty famous minister Zhao ?\ nicknamed "Iron Mask Imperial History", his grandfather Zhao Tang learned from Hu Anguo, the founder of the Huxiang School, Hu Hong and his son, is one of the "Seven Sons of Humen"; His father, Zhao Fang, was a master of science in the Southern Song Dynasty. Fly oyster cherry? Eclipse You Zheng? Midday? Mushroom ??! Hold the peony road shallow 8 sizzle said Mu Zhi Zhi vulture key? Raising money?

After hearing this, he was very surprised, Shi Bin didn't expect Zhao Kui's family to be so good. It also understands why Lu Wende is always reluctant to clash head-on with Zhao Kui, after all, it is indeed an honor to be able to fight with such a person for decades and become his general. So he immediately expressed his reverence.

"This is all past things that are not worth mentioning again, Shi Bin, Lu Wende, what are you two going to do this time, the emperor is very anxious about this." Zhao Kui asked.

What does Risudun's anxiety have to do with him Shi Bin? Shi Bin naturally didn't care, not to mention that this banquet had another purpose, so he just said lightly: "Lord Zhao, let's drink first, how about talking about those bad things later?" ”

Since Shi Bin didn't want to say it, Zhao Kui had no choice but not to mention it, and aimed at Lu Wende, and said, "What about you, Lu Wende?" ”

Now Lu Wende and Shi Bin are both prosperous and loss, of course, they have to follow Shi Bin's rhythm, so they also say that they don't talk about business at the wine table, and find time to talk after the banquet. It's just a welcome party.

Finding that Zhao Kui's face was unhappy, Shi Bin realized that he had done something wrong and should not make him angry, because angry people would also lose their appetite, and they might even throw their hands away. Then his and Lu Wende's plan will be in vain.

So he immediately said: "Lord Zhao, of course you can talk about it, and now you can say something that will definitely reassure you." ”

Zhao Kui, who was about to leave, heard Shi Bin's tone change and was willing to say something that would definitely reassure him, which made Zhao Kui not want to leave, and he also wanted to hear what Shi Bin said.

"What I want to say is that as long as the court does not live up to us, we will live up to the court, and we promise never to invest in the yuan." Shi Bin said with great certainty, "Now it's time for Lord Zhao to eat well, right?" ”

Lu Wende, who was listening on the sidelines, was a little worried at first, but when he heard Shi Bin say these things, he was relieved, these were what he thought in his heart, but Shi Bin said it.

has also been in the officialdom for many years, and knows that you can't push people too much, otherwise it will backfire. Now that he has received the promise of Shi Bin and Lu Wende, Zhao Kui naturally eats happily.

However, the situation was different from what Shi Bin and the others expected, the three of them were still harmonious when they ate, but Zhao Kui's situation when he was eating was really difficult to suspect that he was acting.

When you pick up a dish, your hands slowly shake, and you have to pick up a dish two or three times. And specially pick those soft foods that are suitable for the elderly, such as plum cabbage button pork, steamed eggs, Huaishan pork rib soup, soup with sauce and fragrant fish head, and stir-fried fragrant dry. As for other delicacies, I didn't have a chopstick, and I didn't even eat cabbage.

This made Shi Bin and Lu Wende feel that their judgment was wrong, and they were a little guilty. But it didn't take long for Shi Bin to feel something wrong again, but he couldn't say where this was wrong. Although he was suspicious, there was no evidence, so Shi Bin could only shut up and continue to observe, only hoping that Zhao Kui would leak himself.

And Zhao Kui kept asking about the deployment of Shi Bin and the two of them along the way, and the situation of the heavy grain and grass, obviously wanting to have more bargaining chips in the negotiations.

is not a newborn chick, how can he let Zhao Kui know these military secrets? Therefore, Shi Bin made nonsense, saying that he and Lu Wende's 60,000 horses were 160,000, and they were continuing to recruit. As for the grain and grass, it was only enough for 50,000 horses for half a year.

Of course, Zhao Kui knew that this was a lie told by Shi Bin and didn't believe it, but he could only pretend to believe it and find another way to break through.

The banquet ended like this, although the three of them were friendly on the surface, Shi Bin and Lu Wende were actually disappointed, and Zhao Kui was very complicated in his heart. Shi Bin and the others were disappointed that they had made a mistake in their prediction and could not grasp Zhao Kui's shortcomings, while Zhao Kui was pleased with the promise made by Shi Bin and the others, and was angry that the two were completely defensive against him.
