Chapter 659: Slippery Head

Watching Kublai Khan ride his horse away, Shi Bin had the idea of becoming a brother with him, but he quickly dispelled it. Because he deeply understood that Kublai Khan would never be subservient to others, even if he was temporarily subservient, he would sooner or later cause trouble, so the best attitude towards him was to destroy. It's just that he was still a little unwilling in his heart, so Shi Bin spoke: "Xu Feng, do you think it is possible for me to subdue Kublai Khan?" ”

Hearing Shi Bin's words, Xu Feng was obviously very surprised. Looking at Shi Bin's eyes, he was surprised, and the words 'foolish people talk about dreams' completely appeared on his face.

"Dashuai, why do you have such thoughts?" Xu Feng asked.

"I feel that Kublai Khan is a hero of a generation and is very worthy of deep friendship, and if I can subdue him, I will have more help, which will be of great benefit to things in the future."

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and please think deeply. What's more, as the marshal said, Kublai Khan is a hero in the world, how can he easily convince others? Please also ask the marshal not to spend too much energy on such an illusory goal. In the opinion of humble duty, the best way to eliminate Kublai Khan and his men is to eliminate him. Xu Feng said very firmly.

While listening to Xu Feng's words, Shi Bin remembered a passage in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - Cao Cao and Liu Bei cooking wine and talking about heroes. Cao Cao's heroes cherished the heroes and let go of the fierce enemies in the future, but the result was a big mistake that caused the border to be unpeaceful for decades.

"Well, I'll kill him if I get the chance. Even if he can't kill him, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the steppe, and he will not give up until he is expelled to Persia. Shi Bin said.

"Handsome and wise." Xu Feng said immediately.

After making up his mind, Shi Bin also immediately returned to Yumen Pass, and found Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Sai Zhangfei to discuss the matter they had discussed with Kublai Khan before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, things are the same as I thought before, Kublai Khan came to sue for peace. He hoped that we would not support Ali Buge when he was at war with Ali Buge, and even wanted us to help him. ”

"Absolutely not!" Wang Jian was the first to come out to oppose it, and his voice was very loud, which showed his resolute attitude.

"Why?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"The handsome man has always been true to his word, and everyone follows the handsome with joy and sincerity. If the commander is treacherous, I am afraid that he will be spurned by the world, and no one will want to follow him again. Please think carefully, you must not lose the big because of the small! ”

Shi Bin nodded unceasingly after listening to Wang Jian's words, obviously agreeing with his words. But he was unwilling, obviously unwilling to give up the opportunity to reconcile with Kublai Khan.

"Dashuai, what price is Kublai Khan willing to pay to ask you to watch the fire from the other side or turn around to help him?"

"Lord Xiang, Kublai Khan didn't say what the price was for me to help him, but he said that he was willing to send me 5,000 good horses from the Western Regions and asked me to stay out of the matter and not help Brother Ali Bu." Shi Bin said with a smile.

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Xiang Shibi sneered and said, "Dashuai, is Kublai Khan too stingy?" Just 5,000 good horses in the Western Regions want to be a treacherous villain? The last general estimated that Kublai Khan would not be this villain even if he gave 50,000 good horses in the Western Regions. ”

Shi Bin's face was a little hot when he said this, because he planned in his heart that if Kublai Khan was willing to give 20,000 good horses from the Western Regions, he would really find a way to do it, and this treacherous person would stay out of the matter.

Because I don't know whether Xiang Shibi's words are true or false, whether he really praises himself or uses this praise to ensure that Da Song is not untrustworthy. Therefore, Shi Bin didn't make a sound, just lowered his head and thought.

Shi Bin didn't 'think' for long, and Sai Zhangfei also opened his mouth. However, his opinion is very different, and he also said that he should not be this treacherous villain, but he should also make some gains. As for how to fish, then find a way. But he insisted that if he thought about it, he would definitely reap the benefits.

This attitude immediately won the consent of Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, although Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi were a little disdainful, but they knew that this deception was necessary, and now most people agreed, and the two finally had to agree.

"Since we all agree, let's talk about how to get benefits?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"We still have the liaison officer left by Brother Ali Bu in the pass, right, Dashuai." Sai Zhangfei asked.

"There really is, although the level is not high, but Ali is not a brother's henchman."

"Dashuai, I have a way to get more benefits from Ali Buge. This method is simple, that is, to tell Ali Buge that Kublai Khan wanted to truce with the commander and send 5,000 horses from the Western Regions through the liaison officer. Sai Zhangfei said.

"Yes, it's not bad, this is not treacherous, and Ali Buge has to pay a greater price in order to win me over. Even if the heart is reluctant, he must come out. ”

Looking at Shi Bin with a smile on his face, Wang Jian said with a straight and tough heart: "Please don't be blinded by interests, please think carefully about how much blackmail Ali Buge can bear from us at most." If you force him away because he wants too much, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

The words 'extortion' made Shi Bin and several people in the room very unhappy, even if Wang Jian was reasonable, it made people feel very harsh.

In order not to cause conflict, Shi Bin said very softly: "What Lord Sai said is right, what Lord Wang said is also good, what we have to do is to take a balance point." So what do you think we should do on Kublai Khan's side? ”

Knowing that he had caused public anger because of what he had just said, Wang Jian didn't want to be looked down upon in the house, so as soon as the words fell, he used the excuse of urgency to go out to 'go to the toilet'.

"Dashuai, if we just want to use Kublai Khan to ask for things from Ali Buge, instead of really planning to make a truce with him, then we don't have to think about this problem. Because Kublai Khan is not a stupid person, he should also be the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, at most he will give us a small benefit. But if this is known by Ali Buge, it will definitely affect our relationship with Ali Buge, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Xiang Shibi said earnestly.

It must be admitted that Xiang Shibi was right, but Shi Bin was unwilling to give up like this, he wanted to get both fish and bear's paws. But because he couldn't ruin his reputation, after thinking about it for a long time and everyone didn't come up with a solution, Shi Bin had to give up painfully.

Since this is the case, there is no need to stay in Shi Bin's study, and several people left one after another.

When Shi Bin was about to lie down on the bed to rest, he heard footsteps at the door. When I looked up, it was Sai Xi Shi and Sai Zhang who flew away and returned. It's no accident that they're doing this, it's definitely something and it's related to the issue just now.

"Tell me, what bad ideas do you two brothers and sisters have?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Husband, don't say it so badly, what is a 'bad idea'? Even if you have this bad idea, it's for you. If you don't like it, we're good to go! Sai Xi Shi finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Okay, okay, it's not a bad idea, it's a good idea." Shi Bin smiled and said, "Then ask Nu Zhuge to tell me your clever plan." ”

"Hmm. To get benefits from Ali Buge, follow what General Wang Jian said, don't push Ali Buge too much. As for the benefits from Kublai Khan, I will give them to my eldest brother, what do you think? Sai Si Shi laughed.

Shi Bin didn't understand these words, he didn't know how Sai Zhang Fei could get benefits from Kublai Khan without being resented by Ali Buge.

"Dashuai, you appointed me as the commander of Yumen Pass, right?" Sai Zhangfei said, "Although the big handsome can't be the treacherous villain, the subordinate can." ”

These words can make Shi Bin feel incredible, although Sai Xishi is just his concubine, and Sai Zhang Fei is only Sai Xishi's brother, but he can be regarded as having some nepotism with himself, how can he be suitable for being that treacherous villain?

"No, absolutely not!" Shi Bin said without hesitation, with a serious face.

As if he had expected Shi Bin to react like this, Sai Zhangfei still said calmly: "Dashuai, you have been away from Jingshi for a long time, and you have recovered Yumen Pass, it's time to go back..."

Although Sai Zhangfei spoke calmly, Shi Bin couldn't see anything, but from Sai Xishi's eyes, he saw something strange, and was sure that there must be an off-string sound in it.

So I thought about Sai Zhangfei's words. As soon as he leaves, the situation is in the hands of Sai Zhangfei, and Sai Zhangfei plans to perform 'treachery', so he will definitely be able to benefit from Kublai Khan...

"You want to make a deal with Kublai Khan after I leave?" Shi Bin asked.

"Handsome and wise! The lowly position thinks that you can use Kublai Khan to ask Ali Buge for benefits when you are at the Yumen Pass, and then the marshal leaves the Yumen Pass in the name of returning to Beijing, while the lowly position is the treacherous villain and asks Kublai Khan for benefits. In this way, we can benefit from both Ali Buge and Kublai Khan, and in order to prevent the other from gaining our support, we can only pinch our noses and admit it. ”

Frowning and thinking about Sai Zhangfei's words, he must have thought of these benefits in his heart, but he didn't want Sai Zhangfei to carry the black pot for him, so Shi Bin hesitated.

Thinking that Shi Bin was worried that he would be scolded, Sai Zhangfei said again: "Please rest assured, even if you want to scold, you can't scold Dashuai." If the handsome man still criticizes me, put on a good show. On the contrary, the opponents of the marshal of the DPRK and China will think that there is a rift between you and me, and it will be of great benefit to the marshal to grasp the situation of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After hearing this, Shi Bin looked up at Sai Xishi and Sai Zhangfei and said, "You really have a heart, but I still can't agree to do this." You are all my closest people, how can I let you carry this black pot for my own selfish interests? ”

"Husband, how can this be called selfish interests?" Sai Xi Shi smiled, "If you are strong, we will all be strong." What's more, my brother was a bandit before, and now what's the big deal about being a villain who forgets his righteousness? ”

"No, no. People cannot stand without faith, and if they lose their faith, they will not be able to stand in the world! Shi Bin retorted loudly.

"Dashuai, I promise that I will never help Kublai Khan attack Ali Buge, at most I will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Dashuai, there has always been deceit between countries, and the strong country bullies the weak, does the Dashuai really believe that there will be eternal friends? It is very benevolent to be able to do it without falling into the ground. Sai Zhangfei said.

Slowly, Shi Bin couldn't talk about Sai Xishi and Sai Zhangfei, and finally had to agree.

When Sai Zhang Fei was about to leave, Shi Bin said again: "Brother Sai, you must have a bottom line in doing things, at most you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and you must not help Kublai Khan to fight Ali Buge." If something happens to Ali Buge, you must also send troops to save it. He must not be allowed to flee to Persia or die at the hands of Kublai Khan. It should be Kublai Khan who would die or flee to Persia, not Ali Buge. ”

After understanding what Shi Bin meant, Sai Zhang Fei left, and Sai Xishi stayed.
