Chapter 312 Negotiations
Chapter 312: Negotiations
The cooperation with Ullihan had been reached, and Shi Bin immediately began the second plan he had planned: to support the king of Γgedei and let them survive under Meng Ge's rule for a longer time.
The first step is to get the support of Wu Lihan, but Shi Bin doesn't want to put it forward immediately, because this feels too impatient and too purposeful, which will make Wu Lihan misunderstand, and the friends he just got will lose because of the benefits.
Shi Bin had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, just urging Wu Lihan to go back to the tent and continue the 'class', erasing all doubts that might have made Wu Lihan misunderstand as soon as possible. When he arrived outside the tent, Shi Bin also boasted that Wu Lihan was 'teachable' and could take on great responsibilities.
As soon as he entered the account, Wu Lihan's face sank, obviously blaming Shi Bin for telling lies that made him unhappy. At this time, Shi Bin planned to 'sword go sideways' again, and said with a smile: "I wanted to talk to you about something again today, but I didn't think it was appropriate." What can be revealed is that it is related to Wokotai, you and I should think about it, and then communicate when we meet in a few days, how about it? β
After saying that, Wu Lihan's face was not more gloomy, but he had obviously guessed the approximate situation, and only nodded to agree with Shi Bin's suggestion, sent Shi Bin to his guard, and returned to Longnan City by himself.
Seeing that Shi Bin returned to the camp safely and with a complicated expression, Wang San knew that he was afraid that something might change, so he rushed towards Shi Bin quickly.
Wang San is what kind of person Shi Bin knows very well, when he rushed over, Shi Bin stopped him, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of adding some ingredients." β
What does it mean to add some ingredients? What Wang San was most afraid of was Shi Bin's unauthorized addition, and he reprimanded impatiently: "Big brother, how can you change the plan without authorization?" Tell me, what's the ingredient? β
"Relax, it's just a hint in advance that we will have something to ask him for help with in the future, and it has something to do with Ogedai. These days are for him to think about it. β
It's just that Wang San is relieved of his heart, it's okay to be a foreshadowing, this foreshadowing will be done sooner or later. But doing it so early can make a difference in the results.
For example, if Wu Lihan is still open-minded and generous, he will think that Shi Bin treats him with sincerity and gives him room to consider. If Wu Lihan still has a suspicion in his heart, and what his previous friends said is just a superficial article, then he will think that Shi Bin is testing whether he is sincere to cooperate, and Shi Bin still puts his interests first, which will make him disgusted.
Obviously knowing what Wang San was worried about, Shi Bin smiled and said, "Brother, I'm also gambling, but I think this bet is worth it." Between his dislike for us and the closer relationship, I believe you will choose the latter, even if there is a little dislike, it can still be remedied, not to mention that it is not easy for him to turn against the water,"
It was useless to get tangled in the matter since it happened, so the two had to discuss how to ask Wu Lihan to help Shi Bin and Wokotai anti-king get online. After discussing the tea, the decision was made: there was no need for Wu Lihan to come forward, only let him send a pawn to send his subordinates to safely enter the territory of Wokotai, and the rest of the contact matters would be handled by his own men, but the negotiation location should be set in Longnan.
According to the rhythm of the previous class, on the third day, Ullihan went out of the city again, and at first he looked like he had gotten on a thief ship and accepted his fate. Seeing this, Shi Bin immediately told Wu Lihan of his decision. After listening to this, Wu Lihan was very satisfied with this plan of action that would not put him in danger, and gradually became overjoyed and expressed his great gratitude to Shi Bin.
Half a month later, Liu Wang brought back from the king of Ogedai a messenger named Batu who could negotiate on their behalf.
Nabatu obviously looked down on Shi Bin, and when he met him, he spoke arrogantly and disrespectfully.
Xu Feng, who accompanied him, never allowed Shi Bin to be insulted, and before Batu finished speaking, he was pulled to the ground by Xu Feng with a five-finger mountain. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Feng's recklessness, this time Shi Bin unexpectedly did not reprimand Xu Feng, but only apologized to Batu.
Considering himself an eagle on the grassland, how could the dignified Yuan general stand to be insulted by a Song guard? Batu, who was sitting on the ground, and his guards immediately drew their swords against each other, but they stopped before they could be unsheathed. Because there was a terrifying and familiar voice behind Shi Bin - Shi Bin's gunshot.
This gunshot calmed Batu down, and remembered that the person in front of him had a nickname called 'Black Gun Commander', and there was no chance of surviving his shot, so he had to grit his teeth and negotiate.
"Commander Shi, why did you invite me here?"
"I'm here to help you." Shi Bin said very 'sincerely'.
"Help? Batu didn't understand what adults meant, and we didn't seem to need help if we were doing well. Batu said stiffly.
"Lord Batu, it's better for us to be honest with each other. Everyone knows that the kings of your Ogedai oppose Meng Ge's succession to the throne, and now they have rebelled, and Meng Ge should be in charge of the army, and you seem to be unable to stop the defeat and retreat. Shi Bin said very calmly.
"It's true that Meng Ge personally conquered, but Lord Shi should have misunderstood, the kings of my Wokotai are not defeating and retreating, but luring the enemy deeper, planning to surround Meng Ge on all sides, and then annihilate him in one fell swoop after he becomes a turtle in the urn."
"Hehe," Shi Bin smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Batu, it's not interesting to play word games. Repeated defeats and repeated defeats are still defeated in the end. You don't have much territory and people, and if you continue like this, you will be swallowed up by Meng Ge in less than a year. β
was suffocated by Shi Bin's words, and Batu was speechless.
Knowing that Batu must be ashamed now, Shi Bin immediately comforted again, "Lord Batu doesn't need to be nervous, Meng Ge is just a hero who bullies more and less, you are true heroes who are not afraid of power and dare to fight him, I am willing to help because I admire your courage." β
Even idiots won't believe Shi Bin's nonsense, Batu understands that it's all a lie, but it still makes him feel a lot more comfortable. Although he is a little resourceful, he is still straightforward, and since he was seen through, Batu didn't bother to pretend anymore, and directly asked Shi Bin what support he could get from him, and what price the kings of Ogedai needed to pay.
Shi Bin played Tai Chi and said, "It depends on what you can give." β
"Animal skins, all kinds of livestock, delicious milk wine are all we can give."
I didn't expect Batu to be also cunning, just vague.
"My lord is amazing, but let's talk about specific matters as soon as possible, it's not good to talk about it like this." Shi Bin reminded.
"Lord Shi is also very powerful, but the official is not wrong, he has already said everything we can give, but my lord, you haven't said what you are willing to support us."
Shi Bin admitted that Batu was right, and he didn't want to deceive people too much to arouse his disgust, not to mention that he had just been slapped by Xu Feng just now, which would further affect the cooperation with the kings of Wokotai, he apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry Lord Batu, I forgot to say that we are willing to help." We are willing to provide you with salt, tea, fine iron, and a certain amount of firearms. β
When he heard that Shi Bin was willing to support salt, tea and refined iron, Batu was just happy and not surprised, but when he heard that Shi Bin was willing to support a certain amount of firearms, Batu's eyes lit up, and he was obviously impatient to talk to Shi Bin about the specific price.
In order to save some face for Batu, Shi Bin just looked at him with a smile but didn't say a word after finishing speaking.
After observing Shi Bin's changes, Batu also calmed down, and asked tentatively, "May I ask Lord Shi can you quote me a price first?" β
"Of course you can, five good horses for a pound of tea and five good horses for a pound of salt, ten good horses for a pound of fine iron, and thirty good horses for a Shibin gun with 500 rounds of ammunition." Shi Bin said with a smile.
Shi Bin's offer obviously made Batu a little difficult to accept, especially the price of Shi Bin's gun. Therefore, as soon as the words fell, Batu asked, "Is Lord Shi's price too high?" Especially the price of fine iron and Shi Bin gun, is it a bit ridiculously high? β
"High?" Shi Bin asked in surprise.
Batu saw Shi Bin's reaction a little unhappy, thinking about his words and demeanor before, thinking that this was playing stupid, just a means to sell the materials at a high price.
"Can you set the price low? This is a bit inappropriate, remember that you made a deal with Lu Wende before, and the price was not so outrageously high. Batu suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.
Of course, it cannot be clearly said that the Yuan people are foreign races and enemy countries. Wouldn't Shi Bin become a traitor in Song? I had to express it in a different way, "Lord Batu, Lord Lu and I are good friends and have helped me, so we must be cheaper, otherwise others will say that I am mercenary and ungrateful." β
"There's really no discussion?"
Shi Bin was a little irritable, in his opinion, the good horses of the Yuan people were the same as the chickens in the chicken farm, there were too many to count, and it was a big deal to have two more horses. Thinking of this, he gave Batu a small disdain.
Seeing Shi Bin's appearance, he knew that there was no need to discuss. Shall I tell the present embarrassment of the kings of Γgedai? Batu's eyebrows furrowed, making difficult decisions, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
Batu seems to have lost his mind, and the negotiations are deadlocked. There was no point in getting together again, so Shi Bin suggested that they should simply go back to their respective homes and talk about it the next morning after resting.
Having no idea, Batu couldn't wait to leave the place that made him unhappy immediately, so he just gave a hasty salute to Shi Bin and left.
The first thing Shi Bin did when he returned to the camp was to be asked by Wang San about the details of the negotiation, just like a teacher checking a student's homework.
However, this operation made Wang San very surprised and very satisfied, he never expected that Shi Bin would dare to open his mouth like this, a Shi Bin gun and 500 rounds of ammunition cost 30 good horses. In his opinion, this is a hard grab.
The teacher was very curious about why Shi Bin was suddenly so cunning and would take advantage of the fire to rob like this, and asked in a very disbelieving tone: "Big brother, when did you become powerful?" Unexpectedly, a Shi Bin gun asked them for thirty good horses. β
"Is it excessive?" Shi Bin asked blankly.
In response to Shi Bin's rhetorical question, Wang San felt that he didn't know him anymore, but he still said: "Of course it's too much, they won't have so many good horses." β
"Why?" Shi Bin didn't believe it, "Their horses don't stop."
Are there as many hens as we have? β
At this time, he understood why Shi Bin dared to open his mouth so loudly, but it turned out that he didn't understand the situation at all. Wang San smiled helplessly: "Big brother, before the war, the horses of the kings of Wokotai did have as many as our hens. But now that the war has begun, they have to equip a large number of cavalry to deal with MΓΆngke's conquest, it is impossible to concentrate on raising horses, and the number of horses has been absolutely greatly reduced, and it is naturally impossible to meet your requirements. I guess you've scared Batuu. β
Recalling Batu's reaction after hearing his offer, Shi Bin realized that Wang San's words must be correct, and Batu was frightened by his offer.
What to do? Never miss this opportunity to disturb the Yuan people, Shi Bin cast a gaze to Wang San for help.
"Big brother, don't worry, Nabatu will definitely not go back, maybe you will have unexpected benefits from this approach." Wang San grinned.
It's all scared that people can't speak, how can there be unexpected benefits? Shi Bin subconsciously thought that this was Wang San's nonsense.
"They definitely want our support, there's no doubt about that. But they can't afford to pay the price, so they'll do their best to meet our other requirements, so we can work on that. β
This is for sure, but Shi Bin couldn't think of what he could do, so he asked Wang Sanlai again.
"Big brother, what we have to do is try our best to mess up the Yuanren, right?" Wang San asked.
Shi Bin didn't bother to answer this kind of nonsense, just nodded in agreement.
"Then is it better for these Wokotai anti-kings to exist for as long as possible?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? We've talked about this before! Shi Bin came and said angrily.
"Big brother, don't worry, please think about whether those Yuan people like to put on a posture and fight, and rarely talk about strategy?"
"Rather, they see retreat as a disgrace, and if they can bear it, they will never retreat or transfer." Shi Bin groaned.
Speaking of this, Wang San stopped talking and just laughed weirdly.
I understood what Wang San meant, this was to use the contradiction between the materials that the Yuan people had to get but couldn't afford to pay the price to affect their combat strategy.
Seeing that Shi Bin understood what he was referring to, Wang San left to rest very smartly, leaving Shi Bin alone in the tent to think about the details.
Early the next morning, Batu's face was marked with five fingerprints, and he looked very depressed, looking like a loser with no hope for the future.
Before Shi Bin could speak, Batu said: "Lord Shi, we will buy 500 catties of tea and salt, 1,000 catties of refined iron, and Shi Bin's gun... Forget it. β
"Lord Batu doesn't need to be frustrated," Shi Bin smiled faintly and said, "I have thought of a compromise that should be able to solve this contradiction between us." β
obviously didn't believe what Shi Bin said about the 'compromise method', but he listened quietly out of politeness.
"As long as you promise me one condition, I can reduce the price of tea, salt, and refined iron by half, and the price of Shi Bin's gun will be changed to fifteen good horses per shot, and the ammunition included will be increased from five hundred to one thousand."
"Really? Lord Shi didn't deceive me? Batu asked excitedly.
"Lord Batuu, do you think I'm joking?" Shi Bin asked a little unhappily.
Realizing that he had lost his temper, Batu immediately apologized and humbly asked about Shi Bin's conditions.
"This condition is actually very simple, and it is beneficial to you and me. I just can't fight hard with Meng Ge, I have to fight guerrilla warfare with him. β
Batu is once again in a tangle, asking his brave steppe men not to fight face to face but to fight guerrilla warfare?
Knowing that this kind of condition was difficult to accept at first, Shi Bin started to guide, "Lord Batu, is your Genghis Khan also very strategic?" β
Batu nodded.
"Your lack of troops is not suitable for you to fight hard with Meng Ge?"
Batu nodded again.
"As long as the Montgolau expedition doesn't destroy you in a short period of time, will you be able to regain your strength and possibly defeat him?"
"Uh..." Batu hesitated.
Shi Bin knew that Batu agreed with his opinion, and continued: "Does the adult think that it is important to be personal or is it important to restore the glory of Ogedei? β
Finally persuaded by Shi Bin, Batu said that he was willing to go back and persuade the anti-king from all walks of life to do what Shi Bin said, as long as Shi Bin could keep his promise, and said that he would buy a hundred Shi Bin guns.
How could Shi Bin destroy such a rare situation? Naturally, he agreed, and said that he would fully support the kings. A win-win ending was reached, Batu happily embarked on the journey home, and Shi Bin also left happily. ()
