Chapter 639: Fraud for Personal Gain

I came to the northwest every time I came to fight in the past, so I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the unique scenery of the northwest. Now that the negotiations are complete and the goal has been achieved, it is time to put down everything and rest. Nature is also the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Northwest.

Early the next morning, Shi Bin went out of Lanzhou City with Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Seeing the towering mountains in front of him, Shi Bin couldn't help but sigh: "It's really 'Guxu depends on heavy dangers, and high-rise buildings are connected to five cools.'" The mountain root pan post road, the river flooded the city wall. ’”

"How did the husband think of Cen Shen's "Jincheng Linhe Post Tower"?" Jia Ling asked with a smile.

"Isn't that a feeling? It's a shame that such a dangerous place can be lost, and one day I will take it back! Shi Bin said indignantly.

"Of course, isn't that what we're doing now? The slave family felt that it was a matter of time before the northwest was recaptured. In the end, the six major protectorates of the Tang Dynasty will appear in our territory again. ”

"Yes, it will!" Sai Xi Shi also said. Then she played with the little ink she had in her breast. "The north building is full of clear skies in the west, and the water is even better than the mountains in the painting. The sound of the rapids on the turbulence is like an arrow, and the waning moon at the head of the city is like a bow. The rod has been envious of Pan Xi's old man, and Hugh Dao is still thinking about it. For the sake of the side court, Qiang Di has endless complaints. ”

"I didn't expect Sister Xi Shi to be able to think of such a good poem, it seems that my sister can't do it if I don't recite a poem." After thinking about it carefully, Jia Ling said with a smile, "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”

"Xu Feng, you've read a few pages of the book too. Read it to us. Shi Bin smiled.

"Me? My lord, I'll just have a few simple songs. ”

"This is not a imperial examination, read a poem to us to listen to and cheer up!" Jia Ling said with a smile.

Then use Wang Changling's "From the Army". Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

After doing this, Shi Bin even felt that his blood was rolling in his chest, and his energy was inexhaustible. Emotions are contagious to others, and Shi Bin's entire team became active, and soon forgot the fatigue and unhappiness when he negotiated with Ali Buge before.

Although the northwest is a little barren, there are not as many flowers and trees as in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no soft beauty. But the whistling wind and sand also gave people a kind of iron-blooded beauty, which immersed Shi Bin and them in the endless pride and ambition.

This made Shi Bin feel that he must try his best to let the emperor send troops to destroy the Yuan people, and never give up halfway, otherwise it is not worthy to say that he wants to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties and let the common people live and work in peace and contentment.

"You say that the emperor will react when he sees the letter of request for help and the materials requested by Ali Buge?"

"Husband, I think the emperor will be very shaken, although he will not immediately agree to send troops to support, but he will not oppose it so strongly. Maybe I'll be very happy. Jia Ling smiled.

"But husband, you can't be too realistic, we can't report too many horses. Those good horses in the Western Regions have to be used by ourselves, and even if we have to give them, we can't give too much. Sai Xi Shi suddenly said very seriously.

Knowing that this was Sai Xishi who was afraid that he would be confused and be a wealth boy, Shi Bin nodded and agreed without making an excuse. After thinking about it for a while, he said that there would never be more than two thousand good horses for the imperial court, and even three thousand Mongolian horses, and that they would all be old, weak, sick and disabled.

This promise made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi laugh in unison, obviously very satisfied. Looking at Shi Bin seems to be looking at an apprentice who has finally become a teacher. And Shi Bin looked at this smile and felt a little helpless in his heart.

In this case, Shi Bin suddenly wanted to be a good student! Get things done!

"Two ladies, why don't we just tell the emperor that Brother Ali wants us 5,000 sets of soldier equipment, 150,000 stone grain, 8,000 stone guns, 150,000 rounds of ammunition and 8,000 wooden handles to shake the sky?" Shi Bin smiled slyly.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately overjoyed when they heard this, so that they both ate a good deal

How could the two of them disagree? This time, the two of them were not only smiling, but also full of praise.

Because of this kind of personal fraud, Shi Bin can obtain the benefits of 6,000 good horses from the Western Regions, 4,000 Mongolian horses, 2,000 sets of soldiers' equipment, 50,000 stone grain, 3,000 Shi Bin guns, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, and 3,000 wooden handles.

After thinking of this, Shi Bin spoke again: "Do you think that Brother Ali Buge will write these requests together in the letter?" If it is written, the emperor will definitely see it, then we will not be able to reap these benefits. ”

Indeed, Li Zong cannot be made aware of the agreement reached between Ali Buge and Shi Bin, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Since this is the case, then I have to talk to Ali Buge again, and ask him to hand over the letter directly to Shi Bin and let Shi Bin take it back.

"Xu Feng, where is Brother Ali now, he hasn't left Lanzhou yet, right?" Shi Bin asked.

"No, if he wants to leave, he will say goodbye to the adults first."

"Okay, then follow me to him." As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Bin rode his horse back to Lanzhou City.

After entering the city, Shi Bin did not return to the house, but went directly to the mansion where Ali Buge stayed. Seeing that it was Shi Bin coming, Ali Buge's guards immediately entered the hospital to report, and Ali Buge quickly greeted him.

"Hello Lord Shi, why are you here this time?" There was some concern in Ali Buge's words.

"Don't worry about the Great Khan, I, Shi Bin, have a letter and believe that I am not here to change the agreement with the Great Khan, but to discuss a small matter."

Of course, I don't believe that Shi Bin wants to talk about a trivial matter, but looking at Shi Bin's appearance, Brother Ali Buge is sure that it is not a big deal, so he still invited Shi Bin into the living room with a smile on his face.

Personally poured a cup of tea for Shi Bin, and Brother Ali Buge smiled, "Lord Shi, this is the best tea you just gave me, you can also taste it." ”

"Thank you very much." Shi Bin said with a smile, "I came here today to discuss something. ”

"Lord Shi, please speak."

"When is the Great Khan going to send your letter to me to the Great Song Dynasty?"

"I haven't really thought about it."

Seeing that Brother Ali Bu didn't look like he was lying, Shi Bin's evaluation of him was a little lower. With such a procrastination, and such an important thing has not been thought about, it is no wonder that Kublai Khan cannot be defeated.

"Great Khan, I'm afraid this is not good." Shi Bin's face became unhappy, "How can the Great Khan not think clearly about such an important event?" Besides, if your letter does not last a day, my mind will hang on it for a day, and it will be very uncomfortable. And I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, already know that you want to cooperate, and if I don't bring a decent agreement or letter with me when I go back, I will be ugly. There will be quite a few people attacking me. ”

Although he didn't like the tone of Shi Bin's speech, there was some reproach, but Ali Buge didn't have the capital to be proud of now, so he said that he would soon give Shi Bin a letter for him to bring back.

With such a urging, Ali Buge did things a lot faster. That night, he sent someone to deliver the letter, but there was a place in the middle that Shi Bin and they did not expect, and Ali Buge insisted on sending an envoy to Beijing to see Li Zong.

"What do you say? Brother Ali wants to send someone to Beijing with me, if he enters Beijing, won't our plan be ruined when the envoy and the emperor meet? Shi Bin said with a bitter face.

"Naturally, we can't let the envoy and the emperor meet, we have to find a way not to let them meet, and this letter can't be known to the emperor." Jia Ling said.

"Yes, you can only see false messengers and false letters!" Sai Xi Shi said with certainty.

"Fake letters are easy to do, as long as they imitate Ali Buge's letters and seals. This is a bit of a problem if the messenger is there, after all, there is a true messenger there. The true messenger will probably not leave if he can't see the emperor. Shi Bin said with a frown.

"Money can make ghosts grind, how about we try to buy the messenger?" Jia Ling said with a smile.

"Buy? What if the messenger was loyal to Ali Buge? If we find out that we bought him, it will be troublesome. Sai Xi Shi said with some concern.

After listening to the words of the two, Shi Bin was also a little worried at first, but after that, his face gradually improved, and he finally laughed.

"It's a good idea to buy the emissary, I think it's feasible." Since Sai Xishi was still ignorant, Shi Bin patiently explained, "It's rare to encounter such a good thing as being a messenger once in a lifetime, so how can the envoy not want to fill his pockets?" As long as the messenger was given enough benefits and told him that he would never let Ali Buge suffer, and that he would turn a blind eye, the messenger would agree. ”

This reason was sufficient, and Sai Xi Shi no longer doubted it, but urged Shi Bin to buy the messenger. Unable to stand Sai Xishi's urging, Shi Bin had no choice but to go to the messenger early the next morning, and gave Ali Buge the reason that he would communicate with the messenger in order to obtain the support of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

After entering the envoy's room, the envoy was obviously not surprised by Shi Bin's arrival, but seemed to have expected it.

"Hello, Lord Tutuha."

"Hello Lord Shi, what is the important matter for Lord Shi to come?"

"Naturally, I want to talk to my adults about meeting with my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Didn't the adults talk to my Great Khan, why do you still want to talk to me?"

"Of course, there are some things that you have to talk to Lord Tutuha again, otherwise it is easy to misunderstand."

"That makes sense, what do you want to tell me? Please speak up. ”

Of course, he couldn't tell him directly, but Shi Bin asked Tutuha how his life was now, and if he was unhappy. Although he could see that Shi Bin was definitely going to say something unseemly, he definitely couldn't find out, so Tutuha could only follow Shi Bin's words. said that this period of time was too turbulent, and his wealth was less than half of what he used to be.

Knowing that Tutuha's wealth has shrunk a lot, Shi Bin was overjoyed, because in this way, the possibility of Tutuha helping him to commit fraud has greatly increased, at least eighty percent of the possibility.

"Lord Tutuha, have you ever thought about getting something for yourself when you sent me to Da Song this time?" Shi Bin asked.

"Catch something?" Tutuha smiled, "Lord Shi, I heard that your Song Dynasty emperor has always been generous, and I can get a lot as long as I go to meet your emperor." ”

"Lord Tutuha, you are mistaken. I mean, have you ever thought about what else you can get besides the benefits of the emperor's reward? ”

This time, Tutuha understood the meaning of Shi Bin's words, "What does Lord Shi mean that you are willing to give me a fortune?" ”

"Your Excellency is really powerful, no wonder the Great Khan wants to send you as a messenger. Indeed, Shi wanted to give the adult a fortune, but he just wanted to ask the adult for a favor. ”

"What's the busy?"

"Please turn a blind eye." Shi Bin said with a smile.

It turned out that he wanted me to help with personal fraud, Tutuha said secretly. However, he, an old bureaucrat, was not surprised or resisted, and also had a sly smile on his face.

"Lord Shi, it's not impossible to turn a blind eye, but this risk is not small, we may have to talk about it."

"This is natural, if you don't make it clear, it will cause an accident, which is not good for you and me, and may even cause the destruction of the adult's family."

Since Shi Bin was so rigorous, Tutuha was relieved and said, "How do you want me to cooperate?" But I must make one thing clear, you can't compromise on your promise of support. If it had been discounted, I would not have been able to explain it to the Great Khan. ”

"Don't worry, I won't discount anything. How much should be given or how much will be given. When the time comes, you just need to take the letter to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and everything will listen to me. ”

"This," Tutuha said, with some 'embarrassment', "isn't that too contrived?" Easy to see the vulnerability? ”

Knowing that this was Tutuha hinting that he was telling that fortune, Shi Bin smiled, "How can an adult be so powerful that people can see the loopholes?" I'm going to use 30,000 taels of silver to fill this hole, what do you think? ”

Since Shi Bin was willing to pay 30,000 taels, and Tutuha was not an insatiable person, he only discussed a few words with Shi Bin, and finally reached this agreement with Shi Bin giving Tutuha 35,000 taels of silver.
