Chapter 725: The Point of No Return

After reaching an agreement, Shi Bin immediately ordered the return of 2,000 yuan of people and young men to several leaders and magnates, on the condition that these leaders send 4,000 Mongolian horses to Jizhou in three installments within half a year.

Even if they signed an unequal agreement, of course several Yuan nobles didn't want to stay in this place that made them miserable, so they quickly left the yamen, and Shi Bin, Wang San, and Xu Feng immediately laughed wildly, ecstatic to have won such a big victory.

Suddenly, Shi Bin sighed again, "It's really close to Zhu and red and black to ink!" I think I, Shi Bin, was also an honest person before, but now I use these despicable means every now and then. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang San and Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh at Shi Bin, saying that he was cheap and behaved, because it was clearly Shi Bin himself who first proposed this idea.

It really shouldn't be cheap and behaved, so Shi Bin quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everything is my fault." If you hadn't enlightened my elm head, I guess I would still be only the commander of a pool of states. ”

Hearing this, Wang San and Xu Feng's hearts warmed, and they felt that it was not wrong to follow the choice of the person in front of them. The two also said one after another that all this was the result of Shi Bin's willingness to be good, not to mention that without Shi Bin, there would be no place for them today.

Although these words were heartfelt, they were tasteless after a long time, so the three of them remembered how to make a profit like profiteers.

"Big brother, have you ever thought about a question?"

"What's the problem, Brother Xian?" Shi Bin asked, "I don't have your seven-trick exquisite heart, it's impossible to know what is going on in that person's heart at a glance." Before, it was just an occasional enlightenment. ”

"Big brother is humble enough. Agoura said that more than 200,000 people were lost in the snow disaster this time, and this is only the loss of these tribes. And this big snow must have ravaged the entire grassland, not to mention that every tribe has suffered such losses as Agoura, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. Wang San said.

"That's for sure, their nobles have never cared much about the lives of their people, and if it weren't for the fear of being annexed this time, I'm afraid Agoura wouldn't have come. And they live hard, it is difficult to hoard much food. Even if there were, it was provided to those nobles first. ”

Xu Feng on the side said with a smile: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang probably wants to help you make a big profit." ”

Giving Xu Feng an appreciative look, Wang San smiled and said, "Xu Feng, you are really getting smarter and smarter." I won't say it, you say it first, and see if we think the same thing. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang. Lord Wang, now that Ali Buge's strength has been seriously damaged, the Great Yuan Dynasty must be turbulent and unstable, maybe we have room to operate. As for how to do it, it is not very clear. ”

In fact, Xu Feng has already come up with two methods, one is to use the method of infiltration, and the other is to take the opportunity to unite those tribal leaders who are dissatisfied with Ali Buge to overthrow Ali Buge. It's just that Xu Feng knew that Wang San was the protagonist, so he deliberately didn't say these two methods.

"Xu Feng said it well, that's what I meant. Big brother, do you want to get another out of it? If so, I'll tell you how. ”

Although he is not a mercenary person, how can he not be profitable? Wouldn't that be stupid? Therefore, Shi Bin suddenly felt itchy and said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to, don't tease me, brother Xian, hurry up and tell me the way." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll tell you." Wang San smiled, "I have two strategies here. The first strategy is to see which tribal leaders are dissatisfied with Ali Buge after Agoura sends the news of Dayuan, let's send people to slowly plot against them, it is very safe to have Shangfu as a cover, this strategy is more secure. The second strategy is to get these news, the eldest brother personally went to visit, contacted those tribal leaders as soon as possible, and made an appointment to raise troops to recruit Ali Buge. This is a more radical approach. ”

I didn't expect that the meaning of this 'fishing handout' turned out to be to overthrow Ali Buge's regime by himself, which almost calmed Shi Bin, and immediately shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, absolutely not, I and Ali Buge are righteous brothers, and I am already guilty of digging his corner this time, how can I get another inch?" Add insult to injury? ”

Shi Bin rarely lost his temper like this, Wang San and Xu Feng understood that things were hopeless, so they both said that this was just an opinion, and it was up to Shi Bin to decide whether to do it or not.

"Big brother, why do you always like to blame yourself? This time, you left the 100,000 yuan person not to dig the corner of Ali Buge's wall, but to help him. Wang San said very 'sincerely'.

Took away 100,000 people, among whom there are more than 40,000 young and strong, isn't this a bad thing? And helped Brother Ali Bu? Shi Bin's mind couldn't turn around, so he could only look at Wang San and ask him to give an explanation.

"Big brother, the fact that you have saved so many people is a great merit in the first place. Second, people are trying to survive, and if they are cornered, it is difficult to ensure that the fierce people among them will not become horse bandits and disturb the rule of Ali Buge. You must know that there are 50,000 young men who have no food to eat in this area alone, and they are all knights who can fight well; If they rebel, Ali Buge will definitely not have a good life. Third, without these troubles, there will not be so many ill-intentioned people, and the pressure on Ali Buge will be much less. ”

I have to admire Wang San's thinking and eloquence, and I said that digging the foot of the wall was a help. But in some places, Shi Bin also agreed, because he did accumulate a lot of merits, and those Yuan herdsmen didn't want to go back, not because he forced them to stay. It's just that Shi Bin doesn't want to get entangled in this kind of thing, as long as he doesn't break his promise. But Shi Bin did not completely deny the opinions of Wang San and Xu Feng, because his heart's wish was to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties in the Great Song Dynasty and ask all states to come to the dynasty. And this first strong neighbor to conquer is Dayuan. Once the Great Yuan surrendered, the rest of the countries were simple.

So after a while, Shi Bin said again: "What you said is not without a trace of truth, if Brother Ali is treacherous first, I will raise an army to conscript, if not, I will not." But don't deliberately provoke Ali Buge because of my words, if I know that this has caused me to oppose him, you must be careful of the six and a half pounds on your head. ”

"Don't worry, brother isn't that stupid." Wang San said with a smile, "But big brother, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it won't be long before I believe many people will know that you are taking in these Yuan refugees, including Brother Ali Bu." We don't have to deliberately provoke, he should come to find fault. ”

understood that Wang San was telling the truth, but Shi Bin said very calmly: "It's his business that he came to find fault, let's just deal with it calmly, I mean don't deliberately stimulate him." ”

"Please rest assured, eldest brother, I will not deliberately provoke conflicts." Wang San smiled, "Speaking of which, my brother has another idea. ”

Hearing Wang San's words, Shi Bin was a little painful, he was very helpless how Wang San's brain was so good, he could have ideas at every turn, and he felt too difficult to control.

"Say it."

"Big brother, little brother heard from a friend that the emperor has been hollowed out by wine and is sick every once in a while?"

"You're very well-informed, you do. Since January this year, he has been sick every now and then, and he has to take medicine almost every day. Shi Bin shook his head and smiled.

"Since the emperor is terminally ill, why don't you take his place?" Wang San said very directly.

This sentence reminded Shi Bin of what Jia Ling and they had done when he led the army back to Lin'an before, although it was not surprising that Wang San also had this, but he didn't expect him to say it so abruptly and directly.

"I'm going to take my place?" Shi Bin groaned.

"Yes. Now that the Zhao family has no successor, it will be chaotic to let the people of the Zhao family be the emperor again. The reason why you didn't succeed before was because of the reign of Ritsune. The current emperor is a retarded person who is about to enter the earth, and it should be much easier if you want to replace him. ”

"Lord Wang, everything should be done sooner rather than later, sooner rather than later. Now that the emperor is terminally ill, the prince should have made plans early. Xu Feng also spoke.

With the fact that the interests of a large group of people are all tied to him, Shi Bin understands that this time he has to do it if he doesn't do it. If he doesn't do it, he will surely chill the hearts of the people, and they will no longer follow him. Therefore, Shi Bin said: "Okay, then listen to you, now I will start to prepare, how to prepare?" It's up to you to plan this. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, everything is with me, and everything is safe." Seeing Shi Bin agreeing so happily, Wang San also made a promise with a smile. Then he asked, "Big brother, why are you so happy today?" That's not how you would have reacted when we talked about it in the past. ”

didn't want to hide what he was thinking, Shi Bin said directly: "It's very simple, big brother doesn't want to chill your heart." What's more, it is a once-in-a-lifetime good time to replace the Zhao family now, and if you miss it, it will be difficult to have a second time. ”

"The eldest brother can think like this, and the younger brother is relieved. If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. "Wang III 'Dun Dun Teaching'.

At this time, Shi Bin was very helpless, but he couldn't show it, so he could only say: "What you say is reasonable, what you say is reasonable." The Great Song Dynasty has exhausted its energy, if I don't take advantage of the situation, the world will probably be in chaos. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid of inconsistent thinking, Wang San asked about Shi Bin's plans again. After all, it was Shi Bin who wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor, not his third king.

"Brother, everything is arranged by you, you don't have to ask me. I don't have to worry about you doing things. Shi Bin said with a smile and certainty.

"Big brother, don't do this, of course I have to ask you, can't go wrong."

"Brother, now North China, Central China, East China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Liaoning are all under my direct control, Huainan Road is in the hands of my father-in-law Jia Nidao, and only Fujian Road is not under my control. And the Fujian Road appeases the waste that is no more than a corpse vegetarian meal, and the slightest threat will surrender. So it was my father-in-law who really had to work hard. ”

"That's true, although the eldest brother's father-in-law is not honest and honest, he is still loyal to the emperor, and it is okay for him to ignore you and insult the emperor with one eye closed, but it may be difficult to tolerate your yellow robe and win the world." Wang San agreed.

"What then? To convince him? ”

"Of course, it can only be persuasion, and it has to find a way. Little brother estimates that just a few words will not convince your father-in-law. ”

"Okay, I see. Convincing my father-in-law to put aside for the time being, I suddenly thought of another question. How will the generals who hold real power in various places guard against their rebellion? ”

"It's very simple, just restore the military system before reinstating, and let those generals become bare-bones commanders, right?"

"It's been negotiated, and it seems that we are going to embark on a road of no return." Shi Bin laughed at himself.

Point of no return? Wang San and Xu Feng laughed in unison after hearing this. Seeing this, Shi Bin finally laughed himself...
