Chapter 653: Interesting

In Shi Bin's eyes, Brother Ali Buge is also a powerful character, which is not the same as what he showed before, which makes Shi Bin feel a little uneasy. Not because of anything else, but because Ali Buge, the great Khan, was willing to put himself surrounded by enemies and put the hope of survival in the hands of his allies.

The more I thought about it, the more incredible it felt, although Shi Bin dared to let himself be a bait, he never dared to pin his hope of rescue on an ally who might betray at any time. In the end, Shi Bin couldn't bear this unexplained situation, so he had to convene Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Li Chao, Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi again to discuss the matter.

"Guys, do you know why I called you here?" Shi Bin asked.

Obviously, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, and Li Chao had already thought of the reason, and all three of them nodded. Although Xiang Shibi and Wang Jian also nodded, their eyes were not firm enough, and they could only be regarded as aware of something.

"Li Chao, this Brother Ali is willing to be a bait, do you think it's possible?"

After smiling slightly, Li Chao said: "Li Chao believes that adults already know the answer to this question, and what he wants to ask should be how to do a good job of Ali Buge." ”

In fact, I really didn't expect that Brother Ali Buge would confuse the real with the fake, Shi Bin was very happy that Li Chao helped him cover up the ugliness, and immediately threw a smile of gratitude, and said: "That's true, how to make a perfect fake and real?" There must be a lot of Kublai Khan's spies in Ali Buge's army, maybe among Ali Buge's guards, it is not easy to do that. ”

"Yes, but one thing is certain, Ali Buge will never be in danger. Even if he wanted to, his supporters would never agree, just like in the past, when you were in danger, we would not be the same. ”

"It seems that Brother Ali Buge will play a trick on us, these handsome people don't care. I care if it's possible that Ali Buge is playing tricks on the army he is about to promise? Shi Bin asked very seriously. You know, once a fight starts, the situation is very difficult to control. Maybe you won't even stop until you get a win. ”

"The marshal is reasonable, if Ali Buge sends all the soldiers with little combat effectiveness to fight against Kublai Khan, will we join or not join the battle at that time? If we join the battle, our losses will increase greatly, and if we don't join the battle, although we will not lose anything, Ali Buge's strength will be greatly weakened. We're going to have to figure out how to deal with that. Wang Jian said.

"How about trying to warn Ali Buge?" Xiang Shibi proposed.

After hearing this suggestion, the handsome tent nodded their heads, and then discussed how to warn them. The other party is the Great Khan, and his status is much higher than Shi Bin, so naturally he can't be rude to warn, and he has to think of some gentle ways.

This time things were not so troublesome, perhaps because of the large number of people and the great strength, everyone quickly discussed a good solution: to exaggerate Kublai Khan's individual combat mobility and combat ability. It was emphasized that if the Song soldiers did not line up, they would definitely not be able to stop the fleeing cavalry of Kublai Khan. But the array loses its mobility. So if Ali Buge did not give his full support, then Kublai Khan would not have been hit hard. If he is not a brother, he will never want to be a great khan in peace.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin to arrive at lunchtime, and Shi Bin, a foodie, took the Yuan people who circled around beef and mutton all year round with Ali Buge to experience the profound food culture of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, you can't eat so much during the war, but steamed dumplings, steamed buns, meat sandwich buns, knife-cut noodles, siu mai, and oil cakes

and all kinds of delicious food made Ali Buge and his entourage shine in their eyes and drool. Eating it is definitely the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

While fighting to the death with the food on the table, Brother Ali Buge smiled and said, "Lord Shi, your Da Song food is really a must, just looking at it will make people salivate, and after tasting it, you can't stop it." ”

"The Great Khan is really ridiculous, if the Great Khan likes me, I am willing to send a few chefs to you, or send someone to help you train a few good chefs, as long as the Great Khan can trust me Shi Bin."

Hearing Shi Bin's words, Brother Ali Buge immediately became cautious, and said with a smile: "There is no need to send it, it may be better for me to send a few smarter little guys to your apprenticeship, what do you think?" ”

It's quite cunning! Not only did he not allow others to go to his side to find out the news, but he also sent people to his side to collect information. Shi Bin sneered. Mingmian Shi Bin still agreed very happily, saying that he would send the best master and professor.

"Lord Shi, now that you and I are full of wine and food, can we talk about cooperation? The battlefield is changing rapidly, let's drink and have fun here, maybe Kublai Khan has some conspiracy and tricks. Ali Buge urged.

Understand that this is Ali Buge's heart is uneasy, and if he does not destroy Kublai Khan one day, it will be like this one day. Therefore, Shi Bin did not poke it out, and said directly: "The Great Khan is really a person who does great things, and he always cares about the country. Okay, let's hurry up and talk about cooperation. We said earlier that you were going to be the bait yourself, but really? ”

"Of course it's true, if I don't really show up, then how can Kublai Khan send a large number of men and horses to attack, and how can we hit Kublai Khan together?" Ali Buge asked with a smile.

Naturally, the words sounded good, but even if Ali Buge was there, Kublai Khan would definitely not have sent too many men and horses. After all, he is now fighting on two sides, and with several major defeats, the scale of the battle will never exceed 20,000.

"Great Khan, how many men do you think Kublai Khan will send to attack you?" Shi Bin asked.

The mystery appeared, and Ali Buge said a number without hesitation: ten thousand.

Not in a hurry to question this number, Shi Bin said patiently: "10,000 Kublai Khan's cavalry is very much, I'm afraid I can't stop it." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Shi, I will send at least five thousand elite soldiers to fight with you. With the army of tigers and wolves and my 5,000 elite cavalry, it should be more than enough to deal with 10,000 Kublai Khan's cavalry. Even if he couldn't hit Kublai Khan hard, he would have suffered a lot. ”

It is absolutely impossible to believe that Kublai Khan only sent 10,000 elites to attack Ali Buge. If Kublai Khan sent 20,000 or more elites over to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and Ali Buge slipped half of the oil on the soles of his feet, wouldn't he only leave him Shi Bin and Kublai Khan to be pinched? Wouldn't it really be Shi Bin and Sai Xi Shi Sandpiper Clam fighting, and Ali Buge Fisherman profited?

After thinking of this, Shi Bin's face turned a little gloomy, so he spoke: "Great Khan, five thousand people seem to be a little less. And Shi didn't think that Kublai Khan would only send 10,000 elites to attack you. Even if he fought very hard and lost a few big battles, if he knew your whereabouts, he would never send only 10,000 horses. ”

"How many does Lord Shi think there will be?"

"There will be at least thirty-five thousand." Jia Ling, who was sitting next to Shi Bin, said loudly.

Unexpectedly, Jia Ling actually threw such a big bomb at once, raising the number of troops to at least 35,000.

If someone else talks like this, Brother Ali will definitely scold him. It's just that it was his ally's wife who said this, and Ali was not a brother

So cold snort to show dissatisfaction.

Although he was also dissatisfied with Jia Ling's uneducated interjection, it was also an opportunity, Shi Bin said apologetically: "I'm sorry, please forgive the Great Khan." Although my lady comes from a family of eunuchs, she is not so well-behaved, please forgive me. However, some of her words Shi felt that it was still reasonable, if you want to kill the Great Khan, only 10,000 horses are definitely not enough. If I were Kublai Khan, I would most likely send 30,000 men. 10,000 horses pinned down the Song army, and 20,000 horses attacked the Great Khan with all their might. ”

The number of people has tripled at once, which makes Ali Buge feel a little unacceptable, after all, the gap is too big. Therefore, Ali Buge's face was obviously gloomy, and it was even more ugly than Shi Bin's appearance.

Of course, you can't let Brother Ali throw his sleeves away, Shi Bin immediately continued: "Great Khan, your lack of troops Shi understands very well. Why don't you send 15,000 elites over, and you don't have to risk it yourself, how about we make a fool of yourself? If the Great Khan feels that he can't hold on anymore, just inform our army, and you can evacuate when our army is ready. ”

In fact, Ali Buge believed that the most likely number of troops sent by Kublai Khan was 20,000 to 25,000 men, which was about the same as Shi Bin's estimate. Before, I just wanted Shi Bin's Song Jun to bear more pressure. Now Shi Bin clearly doesn't want to be the boss of this wrong, and he also put forward his own opinions, which makes Brother Ali a little embarrassed. So I proposed a '100 steps after dinner'.

It is true that no one will be comfortable in the handsome tent all the time, so naturally they all agree with Ali Buge's suggestion. Soon they all came out of their tents and took a walk.

"Great Khan, Kublai Khan is very difficult to entangle. In fact, as long as Kublai Khan's men did not exceed 80,000 people, I was not afraid. But I'm afraid that all his men and horses are cavalry. And my cavalry is so few that I am absolutely overstretched, and all of them add up to no more than two thousand. He can leave the battlefield and run away at any time, if the Great Khan doesn't help intercept it, Shi is afraid that he will not do much harm to Kublai Khan. If Kublai Khan cannot be effectively weakened, I am afraid it will be very detrimental to the Great Khan. As soon as the food was insufficient, I had to withdraw from the army. Shi Bin said very sincerely.

knew that this was Shi Bin warning himself not to play tricks. However, Ali Buge was still not very reconciled, so he asked, "Then how did Lord Shi defeat Kublai Khan before?"

"It was a stratagem that led him into the valley and intercepted the way of retreat. But the Great Khan, you grew up on horseback, and you would never put yourself in such a desperate situation. Even if he entered a similar place, Kublai Khan would not follow, so it was useless to use this trick this time. Shi Bin said with great certainty.

Originally, Brother Ali wanted to argue, but found that what Shi Bin said was reasonable, and the cavalry would indeed never put themselves in such a dead place, and the loopholes in this strategy were too big. No one can fall for such a clumsy scheme. Not to mention Kublai Khan, who was very smart?

"What do you think?" Brother Ali had no choice but to ask for advice very modestly.

"The matter is actually very simple, ask the Great Khan to divide the 15,000 elites into two parts. Five thousand men protected the false Great Khan and let Kublai Khan lead his troops to attack. I'll send 20,000 elites to ambush nearby, and I'll rush to my aid as soon as you start fighting. The Great Khan led another 10,000 men to attack with me, mainly to intercept and kill the defeated soldiers who had escaped. ”

This time, Brother Ali Buge completely understood what Shi Bin meant. 5,000 of his soldiers were used as bait, Shi Bin's 20,000 Song soldiers and horses ambushed Kublai Khan, and his remaining 10,000 soldiers attacked Kublai Khan in the form of cavalry, with the goal of intercepting deserters.

When he was about to finalize the plan, Shi Bin said that he still needed to borrow 5,000 war horses, otherwise it would be difficult to rescue in time. Although he didn't really want to borrow, Ali Buge knew that it was necessary to borrow, and even if he was a little unhappy, he quickly agreed, and agreed to start planning in ten days.
