Chapter 376: A Major Discovery
Chapter 376: A Major Discovery
Looking at Yang Heihu's grief-stricken appearance, Shi Bin felt uncomfortable, but he felt powerless. Because this is war, either you die or I live, and there is no emotion at all. Everything can only be said after the winner is decided.
In order not to let Yang Heihu go to extremes, Shi Bin could only behave as kindly as possible, but there could be no compromise in other things, and he couldn't ruin everything because of his kindness. Therefore, he deliberately turned out of the tent to breathe some fresh air, leaving Yang Heihu and the Nayuan scout in the tent and communicating with them.
If Yang Heihu is a flame at this time, then the Yuanren Scout is cold ice at this time, although the two together will have an unimaginably violent reaction at first, but then what is produced is warm water that is neither hot nor cold.
There was a fierce quarrel in the tent at first, but it quickly disappeared, and Yang Heihu's cries and the comforting sound of the Yuan scouts were heard. Feeling this change outside the tent, Shi Bin waited for a while, and estimated that he would go in again when he felt it. Yang Heihu in front of him leaned on the coffee table without any energy, still panting in his mouth. Seeing Shi Bin come in and beat his spirit, he said: "Commander Shi, Yang Heihu is willing to join your account as a pioneer!"
"Okay, I'll accept your offer." Shi Bin said with a smile.
Seeing that Shi Bin accepted his surrender, Yang Heihu was obviously very happy, although he felt bad, at least he was no longer depressed, and it seemed that he was planning to talk to Shi Bin about how to take revenge in the north.
Waving his hand to stop Yang Heihu from doing what he was going to do next, Shi Bin opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Yang Heihu, this official wants to ask you a question." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Yang Heihu said.
"Are you really acting or fake to me? Do you really want to be hostile to Da Yuan, or do you plan to run away after I help you take revenge? Shi Bin looked at Yang Heihu with some playfulness and said.
"Of course..." Yang Heihu hesitated a little when he said this, and then said: "Of course it's really effective, I can swear to Immortal Heaven!" ”
"Swear it, I don't believe that. Even though you're a reputable person, I still don't need you to swear. ”
"That... Thank you for your trust. ”
"Yang Heihu, in fact, I know that you still hate me and my brother in your heart, but you hate Hülegü even more. You understand that you can't take revenge without our help, and that your daughter and my brother will be able to keep you rich and safe, so you let go of this resentment. Right? ”
"What did you say? As long as adults help me avenge and keep me and my family safe, I Yang Heihu will never hate you. I want to blame my bad life, and I came into such an era! Yang Heihu said categorically.
"Really?"
"Yes!" Yang Heihu said categorically again.
He looked at Yang Heihu with some doubts, unable to judge his authenticity. looked left and right, noticed the Yuanren scout who was also in the tent, and said, "Okay, I believe you." With that, he left.
Next is what happened in Shi Bin's tent. The Yuanren scout kneeling in front of Shi Bin was obviously no longer so afraid, but he still cowered and didn't dare to catch his breath, just waiting for Shi Bin to ask.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the adult, the little one is called Qi Qiang." The scout replied.
"Your surname is Qi? How can you, a Yuan person, use our Han surname? Shi Bin asked suspiciously.
"My lord, many of us have two names, especially those like me. My family is a branch of the Qiyan Department, and after moving south, I feel that it is too troublesome to use our original name, after all, there are mostly you Song people here. That's why I changed my name to Qi Qiang. ”
It turned out that it was such a national integration, Shi Bin nodded with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I want to ask you a question." ”
Before Shi Bin could say the question, Qi Qiang couldn't wait to say, "My lord wants to ask Yang Heihu if he really works for you, right?" ”
"Yes. Yang Heihu is a real man, but a real man can also be fake. I wonder how credible his actions are. ”
Qi Qiang listened to this question and slowly thought about it. Because he knows that this question has to be answered very carefully, and a careless one will end up in pieces, after all, the person discussing is the father-in-law of the brother of the Sichuan commander.
"Adult, the villain thinks that Yang Heihu's words are only half credible." After almost a stick of incense, Qi Qiang frowned and said very cautiously.
"Only half credible?" Shi Bin said very unexpectedly, "Are you sure?" ”
"The villain is not sure, but he can still give some reasons that cannot be trusted."
"Okay, then tell me why it's so untrustworthy."
"Yes, sir. It is true that Yang Heihu is a real man, but his most distressed son died in this incident. Although the executioner is the cruel guy of Hülegü, the fuse is on your side. In fact, if Yang Mingzhu hadn't gone north to pick them up, his family would never have fallen into such a situation. Yang Heihu will be beaten by ten more military sticks at most, and his life will still be the same. Now his family has fallen into the notoriety of treason, even though there may be glory and wealth waiting for him in the future, but it is difficult for him to overcome the hurdles in his heart. ”
"You mean he'll hate me even if it's better?"
"Yes, sir." Qi Qiang said with great certainty.
Although he had thought of these for a long time, it was only when Qi Qiang said it that Shi Bin felt that this was a hot potato. Of course, you can't just leave it alone, you have to find a way to solve this problem. After thinking about it, Shi Bin asked, "What if I help him take revenge and kill Hülegü?" ”
"It's going to be a lot better. for his family was not killed by an adult. As long as the executioner is eradicated, Yang Heihu's heart knot will no longer be disturbed by the demons even if it is not completely untied. As long as the adults give more favors, he should start to think about the good of the adults, and he will not follow the adults just because of revenge and fear. ”
"Makes sense. You mean the sooner I kill Hülegü, the better? ”
"It should be, and the villain has also found a problem." Qi Qiang said with a flattering smile, as if he was a slave who wanted to offer treasure.
Shi Bin didn't like this kind of slave very much, but he was used to it, so he didn't show dissatisfaction on his face first, but asked very kindly: "What problem did you find?" Is it important? ”
"It doesn't matter if it's important, the villain doesn't know, but the villain can see that Yang Heihu has something he wants to tell the adult, but he can't make up his mind whether he can say it."
Want to tell yourself but can't make up your mind? Shi Bin thought to himself. It seems to be a relatively important piece of news, which makes him hesitate between countries and families.
"Okay, you're doing a great job. From today onwards, you will follow me, and when you return to Chengdu, I will arrange you to work under the commander of Saizilong Sai. Shi Bin said.
Although I don't know who Sai Zilong is, I am also very satisfied with being able to throw Qi Qiang under Shi Bin. Unlike Yang Heihu, in his eyes, strength is the most important, and everything else has to be leaned back.
Then Shi Bin entered Yang Heihu's tent again. Sure enough, as Qi Qiang said, Yang Heihu hesitated, and his heart was obviously struggling violently.
"Yang Heihu, what are you thinking? The face is so ugly. Shi Bin asked with a smile.
"Oh, nothing." Like a child who was caught making a mistake, Yang Heihu was frightened.
"It's okay if it's nothing." Shi Bin then said meaningfully: "I'm thinking about a problem..."
Yang Heihu didn't speak, but his eyes showed an expectation for the answer.
Not going to tease him too much, Shi Bin said: "I'm thinking about revenge." If it is good, how to take revenge, and when to take revenge. I don't know if you can give me an answer, Yang Heihu. ”
Having said that, even idiots know the meaning of Shi Bin's words, and Yang Heihu said with great certainty: "Of course it's good to take revenge!" ”
"Really? But many people say that it is better to settle the dispute than to settle it..."
"That's just a fool of people, so that those weak people are willing to be humiliated! Absolutely wrong! ”
Seeing that Yang Heihu was very excited, Shi Bin immediately reassured: "You don't have to be excited, I'm here to ask your opinion on this matter." Now that I know, it looks the same as I thought. ”
Although he wanted to ask Shi Bin to help him take revenge as soon as possible, Yang Heihu didn't want to open his mouth out of self-esteem, so he looked embarrassed.
"Looks like you want revenge and killed Hülegü." Shi Bin said inductively.
"Uh..." Yang Heihu said in a slurred manner: "Well... This..."
"It seems that you don't want to, then I'll go and tell Wang San and Yang Mingzhu that they don't have to worry about it." Shi Bin said with retreat as advance.
"Yes, of course!" Afraid that Shi Bin would really not help him avenge himself, Yang Heihu expressed his attitude anxiously.
Looking at Yang Heihu, Shi Bin made a gesture to speak, but he didn't open his mouth several times, and finally sighed and said, "It's really troublesome..."
Troublesome? Listening to Shi Bin's words and looking at Shi Bin's appearance, Yang Heihu panicked in his heart, and finally couldn't hold back his mouth and asked, "May I ask where Lord Shi thinks is in trouble?" ”
"What's the trouble? Trouble everywhere! Shi Bin feigned anger and said, "It's true that you are Yang Mingzhu's father, but you and Yang Mingzhu are both Yuanren, and I have taken a big risk to protect you." Help you take revenge My brother will inevitably have no opinion, saying that I favor one over the other. If I don't help you take revenge, your daughter will definitely be uncomfortable like this, and my brother will definitely be uncomfortable if your daughter is uncomfortable. Do you say trouble or not? ”
Although Yang Heihu is only a centurion, he is not a nerd, and he knows that this is Shi Bin negotiating terms with him. Talking about the conditions for avenging him, and Qi Qiang almost certainly told Shi Bin about some of his unusual reactions.
Knowing that it is impossible to 'want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass', now that revenge and killing Hülegü is the most important thing, Yang Heihu didn't bother to make any more detours, and said: "Lord Shi, I have a piece of news here that is very important to you and Da Song. ”
A message that is very important to both himself and Da Song? Qi Qiang's words were indeed correct, Shi Bin immediately came to his senses and motioned for Yang Heihu to speak quickly.
"Lord Shi, I can tell you. But you have to promise me one condition. ”
"Say, as long as I can do it, I will promise you." Shi Bin said without hesitation.
"Okay, I believe that Master Shi is a man of his word. If my news is really important, then please don't do anything else from now on, but help me avenge it. Yang Heihu said without any discussion.
"Oh? We'll have to see if your message is really worth it. ”
"Rest assured, it's worth it." Yang Heihu said very confidently.
Shi Bin stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Heihu to speak.
"Since the killing of Uliang Hatai and the disability of Kublai Khan, the forces supporting Möngke have been greatly reduced. The Yuan court was once again unstable, and Hülegü was now worried about the problem of standing in line, and had the idea of supporting the army and respecting himself. Because of this, the troops of the Western Expedition were withdrawn by Meng Ge, and the anti-king forces of Ogedai revived. Their strategy had shifted from conquest to defense, and Möngke decided to calm the infighting first before using troops externally. ”
The death of Uliang Hatai and the disability of Kublai Khan caused such a change in Möngke's strategy that Shi Bin had never been able to achieve. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Shi Bin to expand his power. made Shi Bin almost promise Yang Heihu on the spot to help him avenge him immediately. Fortunately, Shi Bin was still a little sensible, and came up with a delaying strategy, saying: "Okay, this news is very important, and I will keep my promise." However, I still have to discuss the specific plan with my subordinates, and I will definitely give you an accurate answer within three days of returning to Chengdu. ”
originally didn't plan that Shi Bin would pull out the horse and go back to Zhengzhou to help him avenge himself, but what Yang Heihu wanted was an accurate answer from him, so he also agreed.
