Chapter 317: The Difficult Li Zengbo

Human life is at stake, not to mention the lives of tens of millions of Li people, so as soon as they received the will of the Song court, Shi Bin and Lu Wende hurriedly discussed, Shi Bin took Lu Wende's brothers Lu Wenfu and Lu Wenxin, and his two brothers-in-law to lead the army to Jinghu North Road.

Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu North Road are adjacent to each other, and the waterway goes up the river, but it takes five days to reach Ezhou. After disembarking at the dock, Shi Bin took Xu Feng to Li Zengbo's mansion.

I thought that Li Zengbo was a person like Meng Hui and Yu Jue, but I didn't expect him to be a traditional civil official, a person who looks at people with colored glasses.

After Shi Bin handed over the post, the doorman only led Shi Bin to the concierge for settlement, but did not take him directly to Li Zengbo's study.

He Shi Bin is now the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and the pacification envoy of Hunan, and his rank is higher than that of Li Zengbo, but he can't meet directly and waits, there is only one explanation: even the doorman looks down on him, the commander-in-chief who was born as a military general.

In normal times, Xu Feng on the side would have given the doorman a full martial arts, but he still held back, after all, he couldn't spoil Shi Bin's plan to enter Jinghu North Road because of a momentary anger.

To the surprise of the people, Shi Bin's chief guard was obviously indignant and angry, but it was the dignified Sichuan Commander-in-Chief and Jinghu South Road to appease Shi Bin who didn't care, and drank ordinary green tea leisurely.

Although Shi Bin drank tea for cows, it was also a pot of tea, and Li Zengbo walked slowly, without the slightest anxiety.

Knowing why this was in his heart, Shi Bin didn't break it, and when he saw Li Zengbo coming in, he smiled and said, "Lord Li, Shi has taken the liberty of coming to visit and disturbed it, please forgive me if there is any rudeness." ”

"Lord Shi's jade toe is really an honor for Li. should have greeted each other, but trivial matters failed to fulfill the courtesy, please Haihan! Li Zengbo also played with words.

A bastard, a 'trivial matter' is perfunctory, and it is really shameless to be rude to himself, Shi Bin slandered.

However, on the bright side, he still said with a 'smile': "Master Li doesn't have to worry, you must be restless because the Yuan people are about to move, where do you have anything to think about?" Seeing me is a shame for me. ”

"Thank you, Lord Shi, for your understanding. Let's stop chatting in this porter, please come with me to the parlor and let's get down to business. ”

This is what Shi Bin couldn't ask for, he didn't want to waste saliva and say disgusting things with Li Zengbo, a nasty guy in this porter, so he immediately went to the living room with him.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zengbo smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered your lord to lead four tiger generals to come to support Xiaguan, which makes me feel at ease, thank you so much." ”

If there was no cold reception before, Shi Bin would definitely believe that Li Zengbo was from the bottom of his heart, but now he absolutely doesn't believe it, he believes that Li Zengbo should still have a main dish, this is just a few peanuts before the meal. Most of it has something to do with borrowing troops.

"Lord Li is polite, Jinghu North Road is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you and I be courtiers of the Song Dynasty and watch the people of the Great Song Dynasty and Li people being killed by the Yuan people? Even if Lord Li doesn't ask for help, I will also ask Your Majesty to let me lead an army to support you, Lord Li. Shi Bin said very 'sincerely'.

The two of them were so polite for a while, and Li Zengbo finally couldn't help it, and said: "Lord Shi is well versed in the art of war, and Li is a civil official, but now for my Great Song Dynasty to fight against the Yuan, there is something I want to ask." ”

"Master Li praised it falsely, but he has only fought with the Yuan people a few times, how can he dare to call it 'proficient in the art of war'. If you have any questions, just say so. Shi Bin said modestly, "Shi knows everything and says everything." ”

"Do you think my Great Song Dynasty's method of commanding troops is suitable?"

Whether the law of commanding troops is compatible or not

Suitable? As soon as Li Zengbo spoke, Shi Bin knew what kind of calculation he was making. That's a very difficult question to answer. If it is inappropriate, it is a denial of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and if it is appropriate, it is to talk nonsense with his eyes open and be looked down upon.

Since it was difficult to answer, Shi Bin simply threw the question back and pretended to be confused, and asked, "Why did Master Li suddenly ask such a question, Shi was stupid, please make it clear." ”

Seeing that Shi Bin was not hit, Li Zengbo had no choice but to say by himself: "Li was appointed by the emperor to pacify the resistance of the Yuan people on Jinghu North Road, and now he has encountered a tricky thing, that is, the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals, so I can only passively defend and it is really very suffocating." ”

"That's true, I wonder if Master Li has any good solutions to this thorny problem?" Shi Bin asked.

"There is a way, but I am afraid that I will upset Lord Shi by saying it."

Li Zengbo's words surprised Shi Bin, his words made him unhappy? Is it difficult to make some excessive demands? However, out of politeness, Shi Bin still asked Li Zengbo to continue.

"Actually, it's simple, I just want to ask Lord Shi to consider the Great Song Dynasty and leave the four tiger generals and their soldiers you brought under my account to fight against the Yuan. This love, Li wrote down, and he will be rewarded one day. ”

Die to shame! Shi Bin secretly scolded Li Zengbo. He never thought that Li Zengbo would be so shameless, and he opened his mouth to directly ask for himself and Lu Wende's confidant. At this time, Shi Bin understood why Lu Wende was avoiding Li Zengbo, such a person really had to hide.

However, he has already come, and in order to enter the Jinghu North Road, Li Zengbo's roadblock has to be moved away, so he quickly calmed down and lowered his head to think about countermeasures, but he kept chanting 'this' in his mouth, making a greedy appearance.

Since he really wasn't the one who frowned and thought about it, 'Well' I didn't finish my sentence for a long time. Although the Saijia brothers could rest assured that he could stay, he couldn't ask for it, but the Lu family brothers couldn't, so Shi Bin finally had to prevaricate on the grounds that 'Lu Wenfu and the others were not his own subordinates to discuss with them', and then fled from the Li Mansion.

Shi Bin returned to the camp with a slightly cold face, Sai Zhangfei, Lu Wenfu, and Lu Wenxin were just generals who only knew how to fight and did not see the clues, and Sai Zilong, the spy leader, saw the clues at a glance. After lunch, he got into Shi Bin's military tent.

"My lord, may I ask if it was not smooth to meet with that Li Zengbo?"

"Why not? Zilong, Li Zengbo, that bastard actually asked me for the four of you as soon as we met, regardless of his will. Although I didn't say the consequences of not giving you anything, I am sure that if I didn't agree to his request, he would not be of the same heart and mind with us in the future battle with the Yuan people, and he would have to stumble. Shi Bin gritted his teeth and said.

This situation was something that no one expected, and Li Zengbo really dared to ask for someone regardless of his will.

"What then?" Sai Zilong was also a little anxious. If only the two brothers of their Sai family are there, they are definitely not afraid to stay under Li Zengbo's account on Jinghu North Road, so it is better, and they can stay and answer Shi Bin in a dignified manner. But the two brothers of the Lu family can't, they still have to return to Lu Wende after completing the support mission.

"Zilong, you see if we can do this, I will lend you and Sai Zhangfei to Li Zengbo for a period of time, but I still have to pay it back. And you and Sai Zhangfei will win over the officials of Jinghu North Road during this time to prepare for our entry into Jinghu North Road. But as a condition, the two brothers of the Lu family had to return to Lu Wende after this battle. ”

"Yes, it works. I just don't know if Li Zengbo will agree. Sai Zilong said.

"Whether he agrees or not, let's try it first."

"Good. Then I'll call Sai Zhang Fei over and let him have a bottom in his heart. ”

Soon Sai Zhang Fei came, and after listening to Shi Bin's words, he, a guy who was eager to be promoted, naturally agreed without hesitation, and said that he would never betray Shi Bin and join Li Zengbo

。 Sai Zhangfei can also be regarded as his brother-in-law, who is closely related to his own interests, Shi Bin naturally believes that Shi Bin will rest after making these preparations.

The next day, Li Zengbo's house was in the study.

"Lord Shi, how did you discuss my proposal with your subordinates, and did you agree?" Li Zengbo asked with a smile.

Looking at Li Zengbo's smiling face, Shi Bin wanted to lean over and give him a five-finger mountain, but he couldn't help it. also said with a smile: "Master Li, Shi has thought clearly." I can lend you two of my generals for a period of time to resist the Yuan, but I can't be the master of the two brothers of the Lu family, and they don't agree. Therefore, it is up to you and Lord Lu Wende to communicate with each other in person. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about the Lu family brothers' stay. What do you mean by Lord Shi, are you willing to lend me your men for a while? Li Zengbo groaned, and then said with a strange smile: "It means that when the time comes, Li will still return the two generals to you?" ”

"Yes."

"I'm afraid this is not good, I have already said before that the reason why my Great Song Dynasty can't beat the Yuan people, the soldiers don't know the generals and the soldiers are the biggest shortcoming. With only the thousands of elite soldiers in his own hands, if there is no cooperation of the local army, how can he defeat the Yuan and tens of thousands of iron cavalry? So you'd better keep those two generals here for you. Li Zengbo said 'righteous and strict'.

"Lord Li is right, but borrowing troops is the will of the Holy Lord, and we had better not disobey it." Shi Bin moved out of Li Zong as a shield.

"The emperor, I will go and say, Li only asked Lord Shi if he would like to transfer the two tiger generals under your command to listen to my orders?"

"Master Li, if Shi doesn't agree, what are you going to do to me?" Shi Bin saw that the time was ripe and forced Li Zengbo to show his hole cards.

"Of course I don't dare to do anything to adults, but if I continue to fight against Yuan like this, it will definitely be difficult to win, although Li will also be punished, but he is not the main general, and he is just a few reprimands from Li Zong. However, Lord Shi, you and the four generals who came with you this time are probably to blame. Li Zengbo said coldly.

The bastard really wanted to tear down the stage and let himself carry the black pot, Shi Bin scolded secretly. However, he originally wanted to take Sai Zilong and Sai Zhangfei to enter Jinghu North Road through Kang Yuan, and when he touched Li Zengbo, a difficult guy, he was afraid that he would have to leave the two brothers of the Sai family here first, and find another way to stay. But the two brothers of the Lu family must not stay.

In case Li Zengbo saw the clues, Shi Bin had been frowning, and after Li Zengbo asked several times in a row, he raised his head in frustration and said: "Master Li, I thought about it, and you are reasonable. ”

"Lord Shi really takes care of the overall situation, he is really a loyal and good general, and I am grateful to Uncle Li."

"No thanks. But I have one condition. Brother Saijia, I can stay for you to drive and don't have to return me, but the brothers of the Lu family must return to Lu Wende after the war, otherwise they will not be able to explain to him. ”

"Lu Wende, I'll negotiate with him, Master Shi doesn't have to worry." Li Zengbo said.

I never thought that Li Zengbo would be so domineering and dare not take himself seriously. Shi Bin no longer wanted to suppress his anger, and said viciously: "Li Zengbo, you can't deceive people too much. If you are too dissatisfied, be careful of your life! Don't forget what I started with and what my nickname is! ”

After hearing this, Li Zengbo stopped speaking for a long time, because he remembered that the person in front of him started by assassination, and was nicknamed 'Black Gun Commander'. It's easier to kill him than a chicken. If Li Zong wants to track down the general, Shi Bin will blame the Yuan people for this matter.

Li Zengbo, who deceived the good and feared evil, finally accepted Shi Bin's conditions, and finally took a step back, saying that he would only borrow Sai Zilong and Sai Zhangfei to resist the Yuan on Jinghu North Road for three years, and return them to Shi Bin after three years, and the Lu brothers would return them to Lu Wende after this battle.
