Chapter 655: Kublai Khan's Messenger

In this battle, Shi Bin and Ali Buge both made a lot of profits, and Kublai Khan made a big loss. Although Shi Bin and Ali Buge have similar profits, these gains are definitely more valuable to Shi Bin. However, in order to avoid Ali Buge's jealousy, Shi Bin did not show excessive joy on his face, but only showed happiness very peacefully. No matter how Brother Ali 'congratulated', Shi Bin just expressed his gratitude very modestly, without revealing a little disgusting complacency.

As soon as the war passed, the allies finished dividing the spoils, and after discussing the next plan, Shi Bin and Ali Buge parted ways.

After Brother Ali Bu left, Shi Bin spoke: "Do you think Brother Ali Buge will sincerely cooperate with my Da Song?" ”

"Dashuai, Brother Ali is as cunning as a fox, and he has never sincerely cooperated with us, and we have never sincerely cooperated with them." Wang Jian's rectum immediately said.

"Lord Wang is a quick talker." Shi Bin pointed at Wang Jian and smiled, "Then what do you think will happen to Brother Ali Bu next, and will he continue to cooperate with us to attack Kublai Khan as we just talked about?" Or is it possible that he is treacherous? Please help me think about it. ”

"The marshal is very worried, after this battle, Ali Buge's strength is stronger than Kublai Khan, and with our support, I am afraid that the situation will change. Treachery... If Kublai Khan loses two or three more battles, Ali Buge will inevitably be treacherous. He will seek peace talks with Kublai Khan instead of military unification, after all, that would not be good for the Yuan people. However, according to the opinions of his subordinates, Ali Buge will not be like this at present. Xiang Shibi said.

"Lord Xiang means that after Kublai Khan is not worried, he will definitely turn against us, but not for the time being." Shi Bin said.

"Absolutely." Xiang Shibi said with certainty. Li Chao, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Wang Jian on the side also nodded in agreement.

"So what do we do next? Even if Brother Ali doesn't turn against me for the time being, we have to be prepared for the worst. Shi Bin said in a deep voice.

"Dashuai is reasonable, maybe you can consider taking down the Yumen Pass first, leaving us with one more guarantee. At that time, even if the army was defeated, it still took back the Hexi Corridor. Li Chao smiled slyly.

This is indeed a very good idea, even if he turns his face with Brother Ali Bu, Shi Bin can lead his troops to quickly withdraw to Yumen Pass and keep the Hexi Corridor, instead of watching half of the Hexi Corridor that may be recovered.

Although the Yumen Pass is still in the hands of Kublai Khan, it is not difficult to defeat it, and it is good to use the return cannon. It's just that what you get in that way is a ruin, which is not in Shi Bin's interests. So he felt a little at a loss as to how to take down Yumen Guan Shibin.

"This thing is very troublesome, and the Yumen Pass is not so easy to attack. I told Brother Ali Buge before that the attack was just urging him to send troops, not really to fight. ”

"Dashuai, why don't we ask Brother Ali Buge to fight again and capture Yumen Pass?" Wang Jian asked tentatively.

This sentence immediately attracted ridicule from everyone, who laughed at him for being naïve.

Although Shi Bin didn't like anyone to laugh at others, after listening to Wang Jian's words, Shi Bin still laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it in front of him.

"Lord Wang, you are really interesting." Jia Ling has never had any scruples, and said with a smile: "Under the current circumstances, how can Brother Ali Bu help us do this?" After he helped us take the Jade Gate Pass, we locked him out, wouldn't he lose a lot? What's more, he didn't want this jade gate to be under the jurisdiction of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is definitely possible, Wang Jian's face immediately turned red like a pig's liver when he thought of this, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. Of course, you can't let a general be too embarrassed, and Shi Bin changed the topic to eating noodles by starving in his belly, which made Wang Jian more comfortable.

After a big meal, it was soon time to light. Shi Bin pulled Jia Ling into the handsome tent with a cold face and asked, "Xiao Ling,

How can you make Wang Jian so embarrassed? Fortunately, he is not a person with a small belly, otherwise my previous efforts would have been in vain. ”

Knowing that she did something wrong this time, Jia Ling didn't defend herself, she just lowered her head and didn't speak. A slap didn't make a sound, and Shi Bin quickly finished his 'education', so he had to look at Jia Ling like that.

"Let's talk about it, how to take the Yumen Pass?"

"I can't help it." Jia Ling played with the young lady's temper.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

In front of him, the female Zhuge didn't want to cooperate, and the matter was not urgent, Shi Bin simply gave up, he didn't want to stick a hot face to a cold ass.

The next few days were very happy, because Shi Bin worked hard to urge his subordinates to clean up all kinds of loot, and it took five days to complete the cleanup. And on the sixth day, a sensitive incident occurred: Kublai Khan sent an envoy to visit Shi Bin.

Of course, he would not see the messenger immediately, because if he did so immediately, it would easily cause Ali Buge's misunderstanding, and even if he did, he had to be prepared enough. Therefore, without saying a word, Shi Bin ordered Xu Feng to call Li Chao and the other five people to the Shuai Account to discuss the matter. After knowing this, Li Chao, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi all came after learning about it. ran into the handsome tent, and everyone was out of breath.

"Marshal, Kublai Khan sent his men to meet you?" Li Chao was the first to ask.

"Yes, it's in the third tent on the right, but I haven't seen it yet. I called you here to ask how this matter should be handled. Shi Bin said with a slightly wry smile.

This is indeed a hot potato, the messenger has already come, and it is easy to make trouble when he sees it, and he is worried about losing some benefits and opportunities if he does not see it.

There was a deep groan from the tent, and then someone was heard, "You should see him, but you have to make some arrangements." Looking in the direction from which the voice came, it turned out that Li Chao was saying this. As we all know, Li Chao is also a very strategic person, since he said this, he must have something to rely on, so no one interrupted him rudely, but quietly waited for his next words.

"Dashuai, are you worried that someone will throw dirty water on you once you see that messenger?" Li Chao asked.

"Nonsense, as long as you meet, someone will definitely splash!" Sai Xi Shi, the female bandit leader, said very politely.

"Shih Tzu." Shi Bin glared at Sai Xishi with some seriousness, asking her to pay attention to her words and deeds, and not to pay attention because of a good relationship. Although Sai Xishi didn't have much education, he was not narrow-minded and knew the severity, so he immediately gave Li Chao a smile. has long been accustomed to Sai Xishi's way of speaking, and Li Chao didn't dare to smile naturally with this second sister-in-law.

"Dashuai, I can say for sure that even if you haven't seen this envoy, many people should already know that the envoy has come to our camp, especially Brother Ali Bu should be the first to know." Li Chao said with great certainty.

Brother Ali was the first to know? This statement is not only not understood by Shi Bin, but also by others.

"My lord, if I were Kublai Khan, I would definitely send someone to deliberately reveal this news to Ali Buge, so as to separate you and Ali Buge. Even if the commander and Kublai Khan did not meet, they could be said to be happy by Kublai Khan's subordinates. ”

Li Chao's words made Shi Bin and his gang suddenly realize, and they all had to admit that he was reasonable.

"So what to do? It doesn't seem to be easy. Shi Bin asked with a frown.

"Boss, what does it mean that we should hide it? There is a saying called 'want to cover up', let's not want to cover up, let everyone know about this thing, wouldn't it? ”

It seems that he is planning to do the opposite, to come to a 'body is not afraid of shadows', so that everyone in the world knows about it. This is certainly a good way, but it only reduces the suspicion of others, and it is somewhat of a show. It's just that there is no better way to hesitate, Shi Bin can only accept it.

Then Shi Bin met with the messenger.

"What did Kublai Khan send you for?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Of course, I'm here to talk to adults about cooperation."

"Cooperation? I don't think it's possible to cooperate with your Great Khan. Shi Bin laughed again.

"My lord, Brother Ali is just a mediocre man with no foresight, he is really not worthy of being an ally of adults."

He understood that this was the messenger's own words, and as soon as he said something that he was dissatisfied with Ali Buge, as soon as the messenger left the camp, he immediately publicized it so that all the people in the world would know about it.

"You are very smart, no wonder Kublai Khan asked you to be an emissary. However, Ben Shuai does not think that Ali is not a big sweater, a rat belly, chicken intestines, and has no vision. Instead, I think he is true to his word and a man who can do what he says. Shi Bin said very firmly.

"Then let's not talk about what kind of person Ali Buge is, my Great Khan wants to join forces with the Great Shuai to exterminate Ali Buge. After the destruction of Ali Buge, if the lord is willing to cooperate, the Great Khan is willing to make the lord the hereditary king of the county, with 20,000 households, and can receive 100,000 soldiers and horses and never be dismissed. ”

"Kublai Khan is so generous, I am very moved. It's just a pity that I, Shi Bin, am not a person who forgets his righteousness, and I'm afraid these things are useless to me. Shi Bin smiled.

When Shi Bin was about to continue speaking, his ribs were suddenly rubbed by Xu Feng, Shi Bin stopped and stopped talking but waited for Xu Feng to speak.

"Dashuai, why don't I take the liaison officer left here by Ali Buge outside the tent to listen to your conversation?"

Shi Bin was very happy when he heard this, and immediately nodded lightly in agreement, and asked Xu Feng to call the liaison officer left by Ali Buge under the pretext of thirst. He knew very well that no matter how much he said about his red mouth and white teeth, it would be difficult to dispel Ali Buge's doubts, so it was better for his subordinates to see with their own eyes that he refused to be wooed by Kublai Khan.

Soon the liaison officer disguised himself as Shi Bin's personal guard came in with tea, and after listening to a few words of conversation between Shi Bin and the envoy, he left the tent. It's just that he didn't go far, but leaned close to the handsome tent and listened.

The confident envoy gradually lost his confidence, because he found that even if he took out Kublai Khan's personal letter, Shi Bin still did not waver in the slightest. And Ali Buge's subordinates, who were standing outside the tent and eavesdropping, figured out the front and back of the matter, and couldn't help but have a sense of respect for Shi Bin in their hearts.

Estimating that the time was about to be about the same, Shi Bin's ears were about to become calloused, and he finally said: "I believe that you have made Kublai Khan's meaning clear, and I understand it, but unfortunately I still can't agree." But thank you for doing me a favor, come on! ”

Some didn't quite understand the meaning of Shi Bin's words, but when the envoy was puzzled, he saw a few strong guards rushing in from outside the tent, and he stopped him without saying anything.

"Lord Shi, the two armies are fighting and not fighting, you can't even know this rule!" The messenger said in a panic.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, the two armies will fight and I will still abide by this rule. But if I don't kill, you should still be able to give you to someone else. ”

Now the messenger understood what Shi Bin meant, and couldn't stop sighing.

As soon as Ali Buge's liaison officer came in, he expressed his gratitude to Shi Bin very much, and would quickly tell Ali Buge about it, so as not to fall for Kublai Khan's counter-plot.

"Do you think it's better for me to send someone to give him to you Great Khan, or do you want your Great Khan to send someone to pick him up? To be honest, Ben Shuai didn't want to stay with this person for a while. ”

Understanding what Shi Bin meant, the liaison officer did not ask that the messenger be escorted back to Ali Buge as soon as possible, but only asked Shi Bin to hand over Kublai Khan's handwritten letter to him and ask him to send it back to Ali Buge, so as to dispel Ali Buge's suspicions.

In fact, Shi Bin didn't want to send the envoy away so soon, because he wanted to learn more about Kublai Khan from this envoy, so as to facilitate the confrontation in the future, and only by knowing himself and the other could he win a hundred battles. The liaison officer did not think of this, so after receiving the letter from Kublai Khan, he happily returned to Ali Bukorna under the protection of twenty soldiers, and left the messenger with Shi Bin.
