Chapter 595: Making a Big Profit

Looking at the head of the capital who was happily running away, Shi Bin felt a strong sense of pride in his heart, he didn't expect that he was so trusted and loved. There were soldiers who were afraid of being abandoned and came to ask for promises.

It's just that this beautiful feeling didn't last long, and suddenly there was a coughing sound in his ears, bringing Shi Bin back from his narcissism. turned his head and looked, it was really Wang San.

"What's the matter?" Shi Bin asked with a cold face.

"Big brother should be glad to be so loved by the soldiers." Wang San did not answer Shi Bin's question, but said in the words of his little sister.

"A little bit." Shi Bin replied a little smugly.

The expected anti-ear advice did not appear, and Wang San said instead: "The younger brother feels lucky and proud to follow such a big brother. ”

If things are abnormal, there must be demons! Wang San rarely praises people, but now he does. Looking at Wang San vigilantly, Shi Bin wanted to see what he was thinking, but he was a little disappointed, and he couldn't be sharp-eyed because he didn't have enough Taoism.

"Has the eldest brother ever thought of using these plans to make some fuss with your forbidden army?" Wang San asked with a smile.

Make a fuss about these soldiers? It's really a seven-trick exquisite heart, Shi Bin sighed secretly in his heart. Now that Wang San already had an idea, Shi Bin was just happy and relaxed, and nodded and motioned for Wang San to say it.

"Big brother was worried that if he didn't hand over the current forbidden army, he wouldn't be able to get new troops, and once he handed over this forbidden army, he would suffer, right?"

gave Wang San a 'nonsense' look and motioned for him to continue.

"From what happened just now, the younger brother felt that the eldest brother didn't have to worry about this problem at all. Because they've already turned to you, and it's going to take a lot of effort for you to abandon them. Wang San smiled and said, "We just need to agree with these people on the location of their garrison and the route of the march, and then let them march according to the route." ”

Some people don't quite understand the meaning of Wang San's words, what is the inevitable relationship between agreeing on the location of the garrison, the route of the march and the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty?

This time, Wang San ignored Shi Bin's question, and just smiled confidently, as if everything was under his control.

You can't ask your own brain tank for everything, then Shi Bin's big brother is too useless, so he uses his own brain. It's just that I am a little dissatisfied in my heart, and I am determined to regain this face one day.

While thinking about the 'garrison location' and 'marching route' repeatedly, Shi Bin suddenly heard a familiar voice, and the man shouted 'Hey'. Thinking that he was calling himself, Shi Bin immediately turned his attention to the person who shouted 'Hey', and it was indeed Jia Ling who made the sound, but Jia Ling was not shouting herself, but shouting Sai Xishi.

This made Shi Bin a little embarrassed, but at the same time happy. Not because of anything else, but because he thought of the meaning of Wang San's words.

"What you mean is that we will send the newly recruited 30,000 soldiers and horses back to their original station under the pretense of being able to go around. And during this period, we told the Song court that we would continue to attack the Hebei East Road, but we needed reinforcements. When the Song court sends reinforcements, let's pull back the 30,000 people who took refuge in us? Shi Bin smiled slyly.

"The eldest brother is wise, and the younger brother is exactly what he means. Not only do we need reinforcements, but we also have to do more, otherwise we really can't swallow this breath. Once you have it, you have to woo the soldiers in the same way

, pull as much as you can. As for whether to really enter Hebei East Road, it all depends on the meaning of the big brother. Once we have enough people, we are not afraid to forcibly occupy Hebei West Road. Wang San said with a smile.

This can be regarded as a strategy that has almost no loopholes, and Shi Bin's mind is completely settled, just waiting for the Qin mission to come.

As predicted, within three days, the Chin mission came.

Obviously knowing that this holy decree was very unfair to Shi Bin, and because of Shi Bin's prestige, Na Qin was cautious as soon as he entered the camp, and he didn't dare to take big strides when he walked, let alone the arrogance of going to other places to announce the decree, and walked in front of Shi Bin several times but immediately retreated.

Although he didn't like it very much, this Qincha was too obscene and weak and lost royal face, but Shi Bin was still happy that he didn't put on a shelf for Qincha. Therefore, Shi Bin and his gang have always greeted Na Qincha with a smile.

Even if Shi Bin and the others already knew the content of the holy decree, the procedure still had to be followed, and the Qin Cha still had to announce the decree, and Shi Bin still had to accept the decree.

This time the holy decree was very formal, originally Shi Bin needed to lead Wang San to kneel to receive it, but Na Qincha was afraid of angering Shi Bin and being angry, so he sent a favor, saying that Shi Bin and Wang San could not kneel, as long as the rest of the people knelt to receive it.

didn't expect this Qincha to be so 'sensible', Shi Bin was very happy, so he prepared a table of wine and invited him to drink.

"Lord Qincha, your surname." Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Exempt from noble, lowly surnamed Wang, called Wang Jinyu. It's good for adults to call me Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang doesn't dare to hold up in front of adults, a hero. ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call Qincha Xiaowang, let's call it Lord Wang." Shi Bin said with a smile, "What does Lord Wang think of the emperor's decree this time?" ”

Being asked like this, Wang Jinyu was obviously frightened, the wine glass in his hand trembled, and some of the wine spilled out. But he didn't dare not speak, so he played a trick: "The emperor's mind is that I, a small minister, can speculate, my lord, please forgive me, and I dare not comment on my humble and stupid position." ”

It's really a loach, Shi Bin sneered.

"Since Lord Wang is unwilling to say it, the official will not force it, but there is one thing you must answer." Shi Bin said in a non-negotiable tone.

didn't dare to disobey Shi Bin, Wang Jinyu finally compromised and said that he would definitely answer.

"The emperor said that if I lead the army to continue to attack the Hebei East Road, once it is captured, I will control the military and finances of the Hebei West Road. These three armies did not move the grain and grass first, did the emperor reveal how much support the imperial court was willing to give me when I attacked the Hebei East Road? ”

Wang Jinyu didn't know the answer, but vaguely listened to Zhao Kui and Li Fu discussed, but obviously did not decide. He couldn't mislead Shi Bin and couldn't say a word, so he had to tell Shi Bin what he heard as it was.

"Lord Wang, you mean that Zhao Kui supports me in recovering the East Hebei Road, but only provides grain and grass and baggage, and the soldiers want me to solve it myself. Li Fu also supported me in recovering the East Hebei Road, but he only planned to provide half of the grain and grass and support the 50,000 forbidden army. But both of them wanted me to send the original forbidden army back to the station. Shi Bin said.

"That's it. Of course, this is not the final decision, it is just the opinion of the two Zaisuke. The final decision has to be made by the emperor. Wang Jinyu said.

He sneered and said, "Lord Wang, Zhao Zaifu and Li Zaifu are really resourceful, right?" ”

Where can't you hear what Shi Bin said is the opposite? Wang Jinyu didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he had to say to the mud: "My lord, don't blame the two Zaifu, they can't help themselves in that position."

。 In fact, the two Zaifu all admired the adults, and always said in front of the emperor that if there was no Duke of Qi, the Great Song Dynasty would never have the good situation it has today. ”

"It doesn't matter what they say about the official. But the officer saw that the two of them were going to take my salary from the bottom of the kettle. Realizing that his words were too much, Shi Bin immediately sighed and said, "That's right, they will be involuntary in that position." Lord Wang, when you return to Beijing, please tell the two Zaifu that I, Shi Bin, am willing to return the forbidden army that went out to fight, and I am also willing to go on the expedition again. You can only provide 50,000 reinforcements, but you have to give me all the food and grass. ”

I didn't think Shi Bin's request was excessive, anyway, the news would reach Jingshi sooner or later, so Wang Jinyu agreed to be this free messenger and said that he would try his best to facilitate this matter. It's just that this cautious guy also asked Shi Bin about when he would be sent back to the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Shi Bin said in an undoubted tone: "If you don't agree to the conditions of this official, these tens of thousands of forbidden troops don't have to go back, I will keep them." If they agree, they will be sent back to their original station. ”

The military is the most important thing in the country, and Shi Bin's conditions were soon transmitted back to Lin'an. It immediately caused a fierce debate in the court. One faction thinks that it should be accepted when it is good, and it will be said that it will stabilize Hebei West Road. One faction thinks that if Shi Bin rushes in rashly to weaken his strength, he only needs to send some old and weak soldiers to be perfunctory.

Li Zong, who wanted to restore the old soil and weaken Shi Bin, finally took a compromise method: if Shi Bin continued to attack Hebei East Road, he would support Shi Bin's 40,000 'elites', including 20,000 strong soldiers and 20,000 old and weak, and provide 250,000 stone grain and grass at one time, and the rest of the grain and grass would be raised by Shi Bin himself.

If it were Shi Bin's usual temperament, he would feel that it was enough. But he has been repeatedly treated unfairly, and he has a lot of philistines. It means that the soldiers can only need so much, but the grain and grass cost 500,000 stones. In order to fool Li Zong, Shi Bin also said very 'sadly' that he could not want the financial power of Hebei West Road.

After talking back and forth like this for two months, Li Zong was finally fooled and agreed to Shi Bin's conditions. He was given 40,000 forbidden troops and 500,000 stone grain and grass. Once the Hebei East Road was recovered, the imperial court demanded the administrative and financial power of the Hebei West Road, as well as the administrative power of the Hebei East Road.

After receiving the holy decree, Shi Bin also 'kept his promise' and asked his generals to lead the remaining forbidden army back to the station. But in reality, it's going around in circles and stalling for all sorts of reasons. Just wait for Shi Bin to receive reinforcements and grain and grass, and then return to Hebei West Road.

Although Song Ting felt that something was wrong, he never expected that Shi Bin would be so bold that he would dare to rebel against the forbidden army of the imperial court.

After the grain, grass, soldiers and horses arrived at the West Hebei Road, the forbidden troops who had promised to return to the garrison were reduced to more than 12,000 within five days, of which 30,000 followed Shi Bin's men back to the West Hebei Road. Because it was done quite secretively, Song Ting did not notice it from beginning to end. I always thought that the 30,000 forbidden troops had died in battle, became deserters, or simply were paid by the generals.

This made Shi Bin, who had already prepared a speech and was a little nervous, ecstatic, he never expected that Li Zong would be so 'generous', and the less than 30,000 soldiers with combat experience would not send anyone to come over to check. is really a loser, Shi Bin slandered.

Looking at the roster of soldiers, official documents on the salary, and the list of trophies piled up on the desk, Shi Bin couldn't stop laughing. Wang San and the others were also overjoyed, and they all said that they would put aside the matter of entering the army first, and then talk about it after winning over the new 40,000 forbidden troops.

This is of course the most correct thing to do, Shi Bin immediately nodded in agreement without saying a word.
