Chapter 633: Unstable Factors

The four pillars of the Lu family have all fallen, and now all that is left is a local gentry, and there is no threat to Shi Bin. But Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, and Li Xu, who had just learned the news, all felt that this was far from enough, and they couldn't completely get rid of the evil breath in their hearts, and they all said that they would at least destroy the three clans of the Lu family. It is necessary to put the charge of Lu Wenfu Tongyuan on the entire Lu family. The reason is: cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

Destroying the three clans is a very heavy punishment, of course, if that person Tongyuan can destroy the three clans, and even the nine clans. But Shi Bin didn't want to do this, the Lu family was a big family, and destroying the three clans meant that at least five or six hundred people would die. It would implicate too many innocent people, and it really shouldn't be. Therefore, after thinking about it, regardless of the opinions of the three people, they said that they must not destroy the three clans of the Lu family, and finally issued a military order.

Since Shi Bin was determined not to implicate the innocent, Jia Ling and the three had no choice but to let Shi Bin deal with it. In the end, it was written on the recital that Lu Wende and Lu Wenfu were ambushed and killed by bandits when they returned to Jiangnan, and Lu Wenxin and Lu Wenhuan were injured and martyred when they suppressed bandits in Zhejiang.

Li Zong, who received the fold, could be said to be grief-stricken, because he knew that there was no one in the Great Song Dynasty who could balance Shi Bin, and he could only let others slaughter him. Among the four, Lu Wende was posthumously named a prince, Lu Wenxin and Lu Wenhuan were posthumously named marquises, and Lu Wenfu was not rewarded.

At this time, Shi Bin can be described as powerful, and he doesn't have to care about the rest of the people except Zhao Kui, because those newly promoted officials can be said to be all his protégés. What's more, with the internal and external support of Zhao Gang, Li Xu, Wang Yi and Li Shao, the four civil and military generals, everything is even simpler.

The next thing made Shi Bin, who had never been a prime minister, feel a little troublesome, because he didn't know whether to rest and recuperate first or take advantage of the hot fight between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge to raise troops to the north and copy Kublai Khan's back road.

If you want to fight, you must plan carefully, and the troops, food, and baggage must be foolproof, and you must also prevent fires in the backyard. If something goes wrong, the Northern Expedition will fail, and the big one may lose the hard-won situation. Therefore, Shi Bin was not in a hurry to send troops, but thought about it himself.

In his opinion, although the government and the opposition are quiet on the surface, there is one place that is difficult to say, that is, the Lu family's old nest Jiangnan Road. Maybe someone plans to take advantage of Shi Bin's northward march to rebel. So this instability must be eliminated in any case.

After thinking about these things clearly, Shi Bin ordered Xu Feng to call Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang Yi and Li Shao to all come to the staff on this matter.

As soon as Jia Ling, Sai Xi Shi and Wang Yi saw each other, they knew that Shi Bin had something important to discuss, because only at this time Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi would appear at the same time. Li Shao, who had just been attached, didn't understand this, and felt that it was a bit child's play to ask the two female dependents to come to discuss things. If it weren't for Wang Yi's kind dissuasion, Li Shao would have bluntly advised Shi Bin.

Seeing Li Shao's appearance, Shi Bin smiled and said, "Lord Li, do you feel that it is a bit childish for me to invite the two ladies to discuss things?" Please don't underestimate these two, they are both heroines, no less than you and me. ”

These words reminded Li Shao of the incident of Shi Bin, who had been praised by the government and the opposition before, and took Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to attack the Yuanren, so he smiled a little ashamedly and apologized.

"Okay, without further ado, today I want to discuss two issues with a few people. The first is that we are now going to take advantage of Kubhi

When Lie and Ali Buge were in a hot fight, they went north, or rested at home with peace of mind, and the second is how we should deal with the rest of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

These are two very important issues, and if you don't handle them well, you will get into big trouble. Although the four members of the Lu family are dead, their henchmen are still there, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not die and be sad. If you let someone with a heart take advantage of it, things will become unmanageable.

"My lord, my opinion is to recuperate first, and the Yuan people in the north should fight with them, and then we will clean them up until both sides are defeated. In the meantime, we'll deal with the Jiangnan and Jiangnan roads you just mentioned. Wang Yi spoke first.

"My lord, the lower officials think that Lord Wang is reasonable, no matter whether Kublai Khan wins or Ali Buge wins in the end, what is lost is their own strength. If we go at this time, with Kublai Khan's means, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not unite with Ali Buge to fight against us. Therefore, Xia Guan thinks that if they are allowed to compete with each other, we just need the fisherman to profit. Li Shao agreed with Wang Yi's opinion.

Two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it? That's a good idea. Shi Bin admitted that with Kublai Khan's methods, he was likely to make a truce with Ali Buge, and the two would unite to deal with him Shi Bin first. But he was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity, because he was afraid that Brother Ali would lose too quickly, and the Yuan people did not suffer much loss.

"Husband, the slave family thinks that what Lord Wang and Master Li said makes sense. But I think that if you are well prepared, you can still send troops north. Jia Ling smiled.

"Oh?" Shi Bin said with a smile, "Madam said that you can send troops north if you are well prepared?" Tell us about it. ”

"Troops, salaries, and baggage are not big problems, and we can find some ways to solve them. The key is that the Lu family still has a lot of henchmen on the Jiangnan Road, so if you want to go north, the first thing to do is to deal with them. ”

"Yes, my sister is right. As long as the Lu family's henchmen are dealt with, things will be much easier. Sai Xishi quickly agreed, "It depends on whether the husband wants to win them over or kill them." The concubine thinks that this civil war of the Yuan people will be fought for at least two years, and Ali Buge will not be defeated so quickly, so as long as the husband deals with the problem of Jiangnan and Jiangnan within two years. ”

After listening to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's words, Wang Yi and Li Shao immediately looked at them with admiration, with some respect in their eyes. As Shi Bin said, his two wives are the masters of women who do not let their eyebrows go. Li Shao was not hypocritical, and even apologized directly.

It was normal to despise women in ancient times, and Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were people who took care of the overall situation, so they didn't care, and they didn't want Li Shao to have any worries.

"Okay, now the four of you have two opinions, one is to recuperate, ignore the situation in the north and wait for Kublai Khan and Ali Buge to finish fighting before going north, and the other is to deal with the two roads south of the Yangtze River first and then go north.

There is a big difference between these two opinions, but the only thing that is certain is that by the time Kublai Khan and Ali Buge finish fighting, the affairs of the Jiangnan and Jiangnan roads will have been dealt with a long time ago. Shi Bin smiled, "Then let's just talk about how to deal with the Lu family's henchmen on the two roads in Jiangnan." ”

This question is more practical, which makes Jia Ling and the four of them more interested. Just as he was about to start the discussion, the guard suddenly came in through the door and said that he had something important to report.

Shi Bin said that there are trustworthy people in the house, and there is no need to hide it. So the guard read out the information: Lu Wende's son-in-law Fan Wenhu seemed to be plotting against him when he recruited troops in Jiangning.

"Tell me, how do you think it's better to deal with this Fan Wenhu?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"If he dares to rebel

Rebellion is naturally to kill without forgiveness and destroy the three tribes. Wang Yi said without hesitation. Li Shao also nodded again and again when he heard this.

"What about you, two ladies?"

"The slave family thinks that he should not be allowed to rebel, but should be killed before he has raised an army, so that his three clans can be destroyed." Jia Ling said.

"The concubine agrees with my sister's opinion, it's best not to use swords in Jiangnan and make an example of chickens and monkeys."

"If the reason is easy to find, use the crime of rebellion. But where then to kill him? Now he must be extremely vigilant, and he will not leave Jiangning Mansion easily. Shi Bin said with a frown.

"My lord, this is easy to do. The Lu family's henchmen are definitely not monolithic, there are definitely officials who are forced to succumb to the Lu family and are at odds with Fan Wenhu, as long as such officials are found, let's work together inside and outside, and the lower officials guarantee that this trouble will not appear. Wang Yi said very confidently.

Several people in the room agreed with Wang Yi's statement. As the old saying goes: don't suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. Everywhere there is a difference between inside and outside, between relatives and relatives, and between relatives and relatives, and there will be no absolute fairness.

Moreover, everyone's heart is different, some people are content, and some people are never satisfied. Therefore, as soon as the Lu family brothers died, the infighting among the party members was absolutely very intense. So as long as you find the inner response, this upcoming trouble will be quickly resolved.

The question is, who is better to do this? This person must have a good relationship with the Lu family, a bad relationship with Fan Wenhu, and worthy of Shi Bin's trust. Such people are really hard to find.

"My lord, I heard that Li Zengbo is now your person?" Wang Yi asked.

"Oh?" Shi asked unexpectedly, "Lord Wang even knows this?" ”

"Although on the surface you have an ordinary relationship with Master Li, there are still some careful people who know about it, of course, this is just speculation. After all, you are very tolerant of Master Li, and he is also very supportive of your sending troops north. Wang Yi continued, "My lord, the lower officials think that it is most appropriate to ask Lord Li to go and eradicate Fan Wenhu. Master Li used to be Lu Wende's chief, and now he is an adult, and he is still jealous and hateful. ”

"My lord, the lower officials also recommend one person." Li Shao said, "This person is Zhao Liangchun, and now he is the governor of Hongzhou on Jiangnan West Road. He is also jealous and hateful, and he has never been on good terms with Fan Wenhu. can let him and Master Li Zengbo cooperate to destroy Fan Wenhu, a chaotic minister and thief. ”

So Shi Bin issued two holy decrees in the name of Li Zong, one to Li Zengbo and the other to Zhao Liangchun, asking them to go to Jiangning Mansion to kill Fan Wenhu in the name of mourning. And allowed them to call in local soldiers and horses, led by Li Zengbo.

Zhao Liangchun had long wanted to kill Fan Wenhu, a greedy and insatiable villain, but he didn't have a chance. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he not actively cooperate? Li Zengbo not only received the holy decree but also received a letter from Shi Bin himself, and understood the reason. In this way, the two naturally actively cooperated.

Although it was a little unexpected that Li Zengbo would come all the way from Jinghu North Road to attend the funeral of Lu Wende and several people, it was not surprising. After all, Li Zengbo was Lu Wende's boss. Zhao Liangchun didn't worry about Fan Wenhu when he came, he should have come, not to mention that he was just a powerless minister.

It's a pity that such carelessness made Fan Wenhu lose his life, and his three clans were also connected. And those soldiers and horses that had just been gathered were simply incorporated into Li Xu's men.

With this killing of chickens and monkeys, the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River were completely calmed down, which made Shi Bin and the others feel relieved.
