Chapter 320: Eliminating Hidden Dangers (Part II)

I've never been sure if Li Zengbo is perfunctory to himself, but when he sees Li Zengbo's fearful eyes when he splits the corner of his bedside table, Shi Bin can be sure that Li Zengbo doesn't dare to do anything to himself at least until the battle is completely over.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no point in staying in this ruined mansion any longer, and staying for a moment will make him angry for a moment, so Shi Bin quickly left and joined Sai Zilong who was waiting outside the mansion.

"My lord, is this done?" Sai Zilong asked.

"It's not in the army, so Zilong doesn't have to be so tough. It worked, and it turned out better than I expected, and maybe there was a bit of a surprise. Shi Bin said with a smile.

The result was better than expected, but what is called 'maybe there will be a bit of an unexpected gain', and why is there such an unexpected gain?

"Brother-in-law, I want to dare to ask why you have so much confidence?" Sai Zilong knew that Shi Bin was not a man of his own words, but he was not at ease about this matter, so he took the risk of asking.

"Uncle, you're too timid. If you don't dare to do it, I'll tell you why if you don't ask me. Look what's missing in me? Shi Bin asked with a smile.

Since it was the spy leader, he naturally observed very carefully, and in a blink of an eye, he found that Shi Bin's dagger was missing, and immediately understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really powerful, he can actually come up with this method, it is estimated that he was about to wet the bed when he gave Li Zengbo the dagger, right?" Hahahaha! ”

"I don't know if I wet the bed or not, but I could see a deep fear in his eyes, because I not only gave him a dagger, but also chopped off a corner of his bedside table." Shi Bin said proudly.

"That's good, brother-in-law, so that we can continue to work hard, and if it goes well, maybe we can make new contributions."

"I think so too, but the first thing we need to do is not to do this, but to fulfill the promise we made to you." Shi Bin said very solemnly.

"My brother-in-law is right, then I will send someone to send the merit book to Lin'an with an expedited six hundred li, and ask Wu Zaifu and Zhao Zaifu to help and ask them to urge the Li Sect to issue a holy decree as soon as possible to improve the rank of me and the four of them." Sai Zilong said excitedly.

"Yes, but I have to say hello to Lu Wende along the way to see if he is willing to continue to lend me the two brothers Lu Wenfu and Lu Wenxin for a while." Shi Bin admonished.

"Why ask? This battle was never over. Sai Zilong asked puzzled.

"I know that I haven't finished fighting, at least I have to fight until the spring of next year (1252, the twelfth year of Chunyou), because of this, this is a kind of respect for Lu Wende, and it won't seem that I, Shi Bin, am too arrogant." Shi Bin patiently explained.

It didn't take long for the holy decree to come down, and the five people of Sai Zilong, Sai Zhangfei, Lu Wenfu, Lu Wenxin and Nanyang Shou were all promoted to the commander of the army, and they were the same commanders, and they did not reward or punish Shi Bin and Li Zengbo, and allowed them to continue to fight against the Yuan people, and everything was according to the previous arrangement.

And Lu Wende, who received the news, made a special trip from his hometown to Nanyang from Longxing Mansion on Jiangnan West Road to thank Shi Bin, and hoped that Shi Bin would take his two clansmen to fight a few more battles and become the commander of a state.

didn't want the two brothers of the Lu family to leave, so Shi Bin naturally agreed, but made a small request: to help himself watch Li Zengbo and prevent him from cheating behind his back.

It was closely related to the interests of his own clan, and of course Lu Wende immediately agreed. After arranging for someone to watch Li Zengbo, he returned to Longxing Mansion.

After Shi Bin returned to his mansion, he was stunned by the military map on the wall, he wanted to continue to fight north, until Xuchang approached Zhengzhou, but he didn't dare, his strength was insufficient. I even thought about asking Jia Yidao, the ambassador of the two Huai systems, and his father-in-law to help, but he was still apprehensive and couldn't make a decision.

Sai Zilong walked into the room and found that Shi Bin was obviously thinking about something difficult to choose, and he didn't bother, just stool at the door

The son sat down quietly. It wasn't until he couldn't sit still and accidentally rubbed the stool that Shi Bin was disturbed and came back to his senses.

Seeing that Sai Zilong, a guy who is also quite talented, came, Shi Bin said very happily: "Zilong, I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself." ”

After entering the mansion, Saizilong didn't dare to call his brother-in-law again, so he changed his words and said, "My lord, may I ask for anything to be a staff officer?" ”

"What do you think we're going to do next? We have already established a foothold on Jinghu North Road, and after this battle, we can naturally leave you and Sai Zhangfei here. But I didn't know where to go. ”

'Where to fight'? Sai Zilong had never thought about this question, he was most concerned about how to obtain intelligence rather than such a strategic issue, so when he heard Shi Bin's question, his mind was a little confused. He didn't know what Shi Bin meant by this, and how to answer.

Looking at Sai Zilong's appearance, Shi Bin knew that his question was too abrupt, Sai Zilong might not be able to put forward any good opinions, let alone urge, maybe Sai Zilong would say something unreliable if he was in a hurry, if he adopted it, it would be a big failure. So Shi Bin didn't urge, just motioned to Sai Zilong to think slowly, and he himself simply sat down and drank tea.

After a pot of tea, Sai Zilong finally spoke, "My lord, do you want to lay down Pingdingshan or Zhumadian?" ”

"Those who know me, Zilongye!" Shi Bin said with a smile: "I do think so, I wanted to fight Pingdingshan before, but I felt that it was difficult to garrison after the fight, so I retreated and wanted to fight Zhumadian." This Zhumadian is a very important city in the Huaihe River Valley, but now it is in the hands of the Yuan people, which makes my Song Dynasty like a thorn in the back is not peaceful to sleep, and I have to always prevent the Yuan people from crossing the river from here to the south. ”

"Zilong is very supportive of the adult's idea, but there is a problem in this that I don't know if the adult has thought about it."

"Oh? What is the problem, Zilong, please say it directly. Shi Bin asked.

"The subordinates don't think that Zhumadian is difficult to fight, but who will defend after the fight? The subordinates really don't want this Zhumadian to be the same as Guangyuan and Nanyang before, so let's help people pick up ready-made clothes and make wedding clothes for others. ”

"Zilong is reasonable, but we have just gained a foothold on Jinghu North Road, and it is impossible for us to send people after we fight, so it seems too arrogant and rude, and we will fall into the hands of others." Speaking of this, Shi Bin muttered to himself, "What should I do, it's a little troublesome..."

After a while, Sai Zilong said, "My lord, there is a way for my subordinates to work. ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Your father-in-law is now the ambassador of the Lianghuai system, once you have laid down Zhumadian, then this Zhumadian will naturally be in charge of your father-in-law, no matter who wants to be the governor of Zhumadian must pass his pass, so we can ask him to help."

"It's not difficult to ask my father-in-law for help, but the question is, even if he is willing to help, how can we take control of the Zhumadian?" Shi Bin said with a frown.

"Why should adults bother with a small Zhumadian? We can do business with those guys who want to be the governor of Zhumadian. Sai Zilong smiled slyly.

Trade? Shi Bin is a little clear about this, it turns out that Sai Zilong wants to exchange interests with other factions. I have to admit that this is the most reliable method that can be thought of now.

"It makes sense, we should focus on Jinghu North Road instead of Zhumadian at the moment. Then after we lay down Zhumadian, I will ask my father-in-law to help, what I hope most is to be able to change to the position of a governor on Jinghu North Road instead of the position of commander, and it is good to be Sai Zhang Fei. ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Sai Zilong frowned, if he really took down Zhumadian, it would be very simple to give him and Sai Zhangfei a position of commander, but it would be very difficult to change them from military generals to civilian officials, especially if he wanted Sai Zhangfei, a person who couldn't even write his name well and only knew how to fight, was really undesirable.

Thinking about it, he felt that Shi Bin's would never be realized, so he said: "My lord, my subordinates have something to say. ”

"Zilong, please speak."

"Not me

Speaking ill of Brother Sai Zhang Fei, he was a brave general when he was fighting, but I am afraid that the governance of the place is still far behind, even if the adult gets a state on Jinghu North Road, he cannot be appointed as the governor, even I can't. In order to keep Shi Bin from misunderstanding, Sai Zilong simply listed himself among the people who could not be appointed as governors.

Sai Zilong's words made Shi Bin realize that he was taking things for granted just now, and estimated things too well, and now the reality he is facing is how to get a Zhizhou, and who will govern him after he gets it?

"Zilong, if you have any other ideas, you don't have to be afraid to continue."

"My lord, my subordinates think that we don't need to send a descendant, your power is already very large, and it is not enough to rely on us brothers alone, so you have to gather a group of people on Jinghu North Road like you rebelled against Ulihan, otherwise it will be too slow to enter this place."

Sai Zilong's meaning Shi Bin quite understood, but he still had doubts, and said: "You mean that you want me to buy some officials from Jinghu North Road first and let them become my supporters, which is really good, but what if they have two hearts?" ”

"My lord, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as long as the adults grasp the general trend and do not make mistakes, those who have two hearts will not mess around. We can leave Sai Zhangfei on Jinghu North Road and let him deter those who have two hearts. ”

These views reminded Shi Bin of the phrase 'the sea is tolerant and tolerant', he really shouldn't just use those descendants, even the hostile forces must also fight for it, otherwise it will not be able to achieve great things.

After thinking about this, Shi Bin opened his mouth and said with a strange smile: "Zilong, when you say that, I think of someone." ”

Looking at Shi Bin's state, Sai Zilong immediately understood, "Did the adults mean ·····?" Then he pointed in the direction of Li Zengbo's mansion where he was now recuperating from his injuries.

"Zilong is really powerful, it's him." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Good! Adults are amazing! In our next battle, let him also make meritorious contributions, so that he can be promoted and make a fortune, so I don't believe that he will not defect to the adult. and then appointed Sai Zhangfei as the commander of Ezhou to watch him, so that he could only serve the adults and dare not have two hearts. Sai Zilong said loudly.

"Don't be so sure, let's go talk to him first and then make a decision." So Shi Bin took Sai Zilong to Li Zengbo's mansion again.

Seeing Shi Bin's evil spirit go and return, Li Zengbo felt that his heart could no longer bear such a great pressure, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't move, he couldn't wait to kneel down and beg Shi Bin to let him go.

Walking to Li Zengbo's side with a smile, Shi Bin asked with great concern: "Is Lord Li's injury better?" ”

secretly slandered Shi Bin as a smiling tiger, ignoring that he was also an official of the imperial court, and bullied himself too much.

"Master Li, I know what you think in your heart, you should be eager to eat my flesh at this time, right?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Zengbo replied in horror: "Lord Shi, how dare I think so? The lower official only asks the adult to let the lower official go, and I don't dare to go against the adult anymore. ”

"I'm here to apologize for what happened before, and I'm going to give you a big gift as a sign of my reconciliation."

Could it be that it is another knife to be sent? Li Zengbo thought secretly. Then immediately rejected this nonsense idea, sending a knife is not reconciliation, what is it? Li Zengbo couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Shi Bin for advice.

took out an official document from the sleeve and handed it to Li Zengbo.

After taking a look, it turned out to be an attack plan on Zhumadian, and Li Zengbo found that his name was on paper, but the position arranged was in the safest Chinese army, and Shi Bin himself became the vanguard of the entire army.

Seeing this, Li Zengbo understood what Shi Bin meant, and his heart was mixed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Knowing that Li Zengbo couldn't believe or accept such a big change for the time being, Shi Bin just smiled and said 'take care' and turned around and walked out of the room.

After walking for a short time, I heard a voice from Li Zengbo's room: Thank you Lord Shi for your kindness, Li is grateful! ()
