Chapter 574: Persuade Batu to surrender

Among the many Yuan spies, the one Shi Bin didn't want to kill the most was Batu. Although this guy is a second-surname house slave, he is a cautious and capable person. More than once he planned to turn Batuce into his own use, but because of his own fierce opposition, Shi Bin was made to return again and again.

From Shi Bin's repeated visits to the cell to recruit Batu, everyone could already see that Shi Bin didn't want to kill him, but they couldn't tolerate him just leaving like this and continuing to be his enemy.

From the bottom of their hearts, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin all wanted to reverse Batuce. Because such a guy who knows a lot about the Yuan people and is very capable of doing things can at least be worth 30,000 male soldiers if he is willing to assist Shi Bin wholeheartedly, so Jia Ling and the four of them agree with Shi Bin's move. So he invariably thought of a way to recruit Batu for Shi Bin.

"Big lady, do you think Batu will accept Lord Shi's solicitation?" Wang Lixin asked.

"It's hard, it's almost impossible without some means." Jia Ling said with great certainty.

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding Sai Xishi, Cheng Yuanfeng and Wang Lixin all nodded their heads and said yes. But they all said that they would come up with a way to reverse Batuce as soon as possible. Because once Shi Bin's patience is exhausted, Batu, a very rare yuan-breaking figure, will definitely die.

"Lord Cheng, Lord Wang. I have a feeling that Nabatu wants to die and doesn't want to die, and now he is very entangled. Sai Xi Shi said very solemnly.

None of the people present understood the meaning of the phrase 'I want to die but I don't want to die'. Fortunately, Jia Ling and the three of them were not people who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and immediately asked what Sai Xishi meant by this.

And Sai Xishi is not a person who likes to deliberately take a shelf, and quickly explained clearly: Batu wants to die because he is unwilling to betray Dayuan and join the Song people, and bear the notoriety of a traitor. And he didn't want to die because he didn't want to die for Meng Ge, because he was the anti-king person of Ogedei. It was Möngke who beat them to the point where they had nowhere to stay, and finally they were forced to surrender.

Although the explanation was clear, Jia Ling and the three of them still didn't understand the meaning of Sai Xishi's words, and had to cast their inquiring eyes again.

Seeing this, in order not to embarrass the three of them, Sai Xishi had no choice but to say: "I mean we can find a way to provoke the relationship between Batu and Meng Ge, so that Meng Ge suspects that the big loss of the Yuanren Shaanxi spy organization was caused by Batu. Once Meng Ge has murderous intentions towards Batu, in order to survive, Batu can only surrender in the end. ”

"Sister Xi Shi, does this still need to be provoked? It has always been Batu who has been responsible for plotting against our husband, Lord Cheng and Lord Wang, and now that he has failed, his sins are unforgivable, and he will definitely die. Jia Ling asked suspiciously.

"Sister, it's better for us to make some preparations to ensure safety. Möngke is not a person who can be easily fooled, and I am afraid that he will not be able to conclude that Batu is a traitor based on just a few battle reports. If Batu is also commended as a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, then Batu may not be able to surrender so easily. ”

"Two ladies, I'm afraid we're mistaken. This official doesn't think that Meng Ge will let us kill these spies, and Lord Shi will not kill these spies easily. Cheng Yuanfeng said with certainty, "These spy leaders are of great value. Neither Meng Ge nor Lord Shi would easily decide whether they lived or died. ”

Cheng Yuanfeng's words

It reminded a few people that these Yuanren spy leaders are all treasures, and no one will easily deal with them. Meng Ge should have tried his best to save them back. Shi Bin should think of rebelling against them for his own use, rather than killing them easily, with Batu as the most.

Gradually, the four of them became sad, and there was a depressed atmosphere in the room.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from outside the door, and then a voice full of happiness came in: "Hehe, thank you two ladies and two adults for caring so much about my affairs, Shi Bin, I am grateful." But you don't have to be sad, because from what you just said, Shi has already figured out how to deal with it. ”

As soon as they heard Shi Bin say that there was a way to deal with it, Jia Ling and the four of them immediately stopped being depressed and turned to be full of energy.

"Of course, we still have to use the counter-in-line plan. Neither Möngke nor I will let these treasures die easily. However, to be correct, my target is only Batu, and I don't care if the rest of them follow me. Shi Bin paused and said, "Who do you think should be responsible for this major failure?" ”

There is no doubt that it was naturally the spy leader, it was he who was captured by Shi Bin, and Shi Bin got the token, which led to a series of big losses later. It's just that Jia Ling is a smart person, and she knows the dirtiness of officialdom well, so she suddenly understood what Shi Bin meant.

"Husband, do you mean that someone wants to shirk responsibility?" Jia Ling asked impatiently.

"It's nature."

But what is the use of shirking responsibility? Several spy leaders have been captured by us, even if they shirk their responsibilities, Meng Ge can't hear it? Do you want us to pass it over? Speaking of the back, Jia Ling said witty things.

"If Meng Ge can't hear it, let's find a way to let him hear it." Shi Bin pretended to smile profoundly.

Looking at the weird and confident smile on Shi Bin's face, Jia Ling and the others were sure that Shi Bin already had a very good plan, just to tease the four of them. This time, Jia Ling did not play the temper of the eldest lady, but was very 'humble' to ask for advice.

"Isn't it a bit cost-effective for us to kill those spy leaders, and it's too exciting for Meng Ge? Leave a line for doing things, and we will meet in the future..." Shi Bin smiled slyly again.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Ling and the others immediately understood what kind of calculation Shi Bin was making, and they wanted a ransom for a long time. But it's not impossible, it's really not interesting to kill a few spy leaders, and it's the way to get more food and supplies. What's more, even if these spy leaders return to Dayuan, they will no longer be reused, and there is no big threat.

So Cheng Yuanfeng said, "My lord is asking Meng Ge for ransom?" ”

"Exactly. I don't think Morgke would dare to keep these spy leaders with me all the time. He had only two ways to go, either send someone to kill or redeem him. It's probably not that simple to send someone to kill the person I intend to protect. Xu Feng, give me a higher level of protection for those spy leaders and move them to safer places. And get as much useful information as I can from Möngke before I make a deal with them. Shi Bin said solemnly.

It never dragged on, and Xu Feng immediately turned around and went out to execute it after hearing the order.

"Then who is your lord going to send to deliver this news to the Yuan people? One of them must be a spy leader. Wang Lixin said.

"Of course, how else can you make Meng Ge believe it? And to send one who has a bad relationship with Batu, and has a relationship with Batu

Good boss to deliver the letter, otherwise I won't be able to achieve my purpose. In order to prevent omissions, Shi Bin asked again: "What do you think, is there anything else to add?" ”

This plan has been relatively perfected, and the next thing can only be seen step by step, so no one plans to add it. Only Sai Xi Shi said that he could reveal some of this plan to Batu to pave the way for the future rebellion.

Foreshadowing? Shi Bin understood what Sai Xi Shi meant. Indeed, it is very difficult to change your mind, even if you know that you can never turn back, it will take a long time to change your inner struggle, even if you want to change the court, even a second-surnamed domestic slave like Batu is no exception, so Shi Bin immediately drove Batu's cell.

Shi Bin was a little worried about failure when he went to the cell before, but this time he didn't, but he was very calm. Seeing this, Batu looked puzzled and uneasy.

"Batuu, do you think you can go back?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"It's hard." Batuu replied bluntly.

"Since I know why I can't go back, why don't I surrender, forget it, I, Shi Bin, will not discriminate against the general."

"I won't surrender!"

"Batu, I admire your character. You think that even if you can't go back, Meng Ge will see you as a hero who sacrificed his life, so you are so stubborn, but I am afraid that you have overlooked a problem. ”

obviously didn't understand Shi Bin's words, and cast a puzzled look. Shi Bin didn't plan to explain, and directly told Batu that he wanted to send someone to negotiate with Meng Ge for ransom. Speaking of this, Shi Bin stopped talking, but sat down and drank green tea.

When he first heard that Shi Bin would ask Meng Ge for a ransom, Batu was very happy, as it meant that he might be able to return to the north. But when he looked at Shi Bin, who was leisurely drinking tea, he immediately felt that something was wrong. That kind of confidence from the inside out is completely different from the first few times I came.

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't explain for a long time, Batu had no choice but to think about it on his own. What impressed him the most was the fragment where Shi Bin said that he planned to send someone to Meng Ge to ask for ransom and then stopped talking and only drank tea.

However, Batu doesn't seem to be smart enough to come up with a reason for it. Shi Bin didn't have the leisure to wait any longer, so he had to remind: "Batu, do you think that no one needs to be responsible for such a big failure?" ”

After hearing this, Batu immediately felt dizzy and almost unsteady. Indeed, someone must be held accountable for such a big failure. The person in charge must be heavy enough, and he will definitely not be a descendant, most likely a guy who is spurned. And this is one of the people who is still alive today who meets the above conditions - Batu.

Seeing that Batu's face was cloudy and yang, Shi Bin knew that he had understood the meaning of his words, so he continued: "Batu, I know that you still have illusions, thinking that with Meng Ge's wisdom, you will not be infamous as a traitor. I don't think you're bent on dying, so we'll wait and see what Möngke plans to do when he learns of your comrade's report. ”

In fact, there is no need to wait and see, Batu already knows the results. As long as someone goes to Montgo to deliver the news, then Tabatu must be the person responsible for this failure, and he is the scapegoat.

"Don't be so frustrated, Batuu, my door will always be watching you. You can come over whenever you want. After Shi Bin finished speaking, he immediately got up and left the cell. Batu was left standing alone, visibly in pain.
