Chapter 636: Poor Man

After calmly thinking about Jia Ling's words, Shi Bin felt that in fact, Jia Ling did give Ali Buge a lot of things, but he was used to being extravagant on weekdays, so he was so frugal and not shrewd enough. It's just that Shi Bin still doesn't understand why Jia Ling and Sai Xishi are so shrewd every time, and even a little bit of a bargain, don't they feel a little embarrassed? After all, they were also the wives of powerful courtiers.

Although the topic was changed, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi both saw that Shi Bin's face was very unnatural, and they were obviously a little unwilling in their hearts. This is not good, so the two of them invariably did not answer Shi Bin's words, but just looked at Shi Bin with a smile, which was beautiful and kind.

"You guys, this is..." Shi Bin didn't quite understand why the two of them were like this suddenly, but he was sure that they were very happy.

"Husband, do you think my sister and I are a little too shrewd to do this? Even a little embarrassed about you and Da Song? Sai Si Shi smiled slyly. It was obvious what Shi Bin was thinking.

Secretly sighing why the two are so smart, they are simply roundworms in their stomachs, and nothing can hide from them. Now that it has been seen, Shi Bin didn't bother to hide it and simply said cheerfully: "I do have such an idea in my heart, and you are too shrewd to do this." It's a loss of face for us! ”

The two shook their heads helplessly, and there seemed to be a little disappointment in them, obviously laughing at Shi Bin for being too ignorant.

"Husband, you're still too tender. Yuanren is like a greedy wolf, do you show a wild wolf that you have a lot of meat, do you think it is not coveted strongly enough? Jia Ling smiled.

"Husband, there is a famous saying in my Great Song Dynasty, 'Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu'. Even relatives and friends must grasp the scale of grace, let alone enemies? Isn't giving too much a tiger a problem? It is the smartest thing to give that Ali Buge a bite to eat, so that he has to obey us. What is too easy to get is not tempting, and what is not easy to get is the most beautiful. Sai Si Shi continued.

pondering the words of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi repeatedly, I remembered that I was so happy to catch a few squirrels in order to save Wang San before, and I was even ecstatic when I caught a wild boar. Now, if I catch these, I'm afraid that not only will I not be happy, but I will be too little. Shi Bin finally affirmed that their words were very correct, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated.

After returning home, Shi Bin immediately sent someone to call Batu to ask for a face-to-face lecture.

Knowing that there was something to do again, Batu, a subordinate, was very happy, because it showed that Shi Bin remembered him, and he had the possibility of promotion. "My lord, may I ask what you want me to do?" Batu asked very humbly after saluting.

"It's still a matter of uniting with Ali Buge."

"Do you really want to give Brother Ali so many things? It's a big loss..."

Before Batu could finish speaking, Shi Bin interrupted. "Who said I was going to give him so much, don't be so impatient in the future. I will only give him a part, which is to express my sincerity and not let him feel cheated, understand? ”

"Your Excellency is wise! No wonder they win again and again! Batu immediately patted his ass, "It is true that you have to give some sincerity, but you can't give too much." How much do you plan to give? ”

Although I don't like Batu's flattery very much, he is also a very capable person. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. Such people also need to be used, so Shi Bin still said his decision. After repeatedly telling Batu to talk to Ali Buge

, Shi Bin stopped.

And Batu has repeatedly expressed his loyalty, and even made a vow, saying that he would help Shi Bin minimize his efforts but get more benefits.

"It doesn't have to be that way, Batuu. Since I want to show my sincerity, I don't have to care about this, the most important thing is to reassure Ali Buge. If possible, see if he can talk to me in person. ”

Seeing that Shi Bin obviously didn't say anything more, Batu said to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around again and said, "My lord, what if Brother Ali doesn't think these things are too few?" There are 10,000 reasons to prevaricate, but please tell me what you really think, so that it doesn't go wrong. ”

"You're really thoughtful, no wonder you can be a spy leader." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Let's just say that they are not familiar with firearms, and these cavalrymen are not suitable for using firearms, and it is a waste to give too much." When there is complete trust between the two sides, I will naturally support more. ”

Perhaps Ali Buge was indeed beaten by Kublai Khan to the point that he only had the ability to parry and had no strength to fight back, and needed strong foreign aid, so after Shi Bin expressed some sincerity, he immediately agreed to meet Shi Bin in Lanzhou. In this case, of course, Shi Bin was happy, and immediately decided to leave for Lanzhou. It's just that before he left, he was stopped by Jia Ling and Sai Xishi.

"What's wrong?" Shi Bin asked suspiciously.

"If you are told to go, you will go, isn't it too obedient?" Sai Xi Shi said with some pride.

One sentence woke up Shi Bin, indeed, it is too obedient to call to go, although this seems sincere, but it is also easy to make Ali Buge look down on him, which is not conducive to negotiations. So Shi Bin stopped and ordered Batu to bring Ali Buge news: the court and China are discussing important matters, and they will not be able to go to Lanzhou until half a month late.

Because of the need for strong foreign aid, Ali Buge could only choose to agree, and even sent his subordinates to send a letter with sincere wording, euphemistically asking Shi Bin to go to Lanzhou quickly. This situation was Shi Bin's dream, in order not to overstimulate Ali Buge, he took Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to Lanzhou on the third day after receiving the letter.

After arriving in Lanzhou, Batu immediately came to see Shi Bin, which made Shi Bin very happy, who is not happy to have such a dedicated subordinate? It's just that before Shi Bin opened his mouth to praise, Batu said directly: "My lord, there are some things that you have to talk to your lord first." ”

Seeing that Batu's appearance was very serious, Shi Bin put down the praise first and motioned for Batu to speak first.

"My lord, Brother Ali Bu is in danger of falling into Pingyang at this time, but he is also a person who loves face very much, and please don't have the slightest ridicule after seeing him. If he sees it, I'm afraid our plan to unite him will come to naught. ”

"Is he so sensitive that he can't tolerate the slightest ridicule?" Shi Bin said in surprise, "Don't worry, even if you don't say this, I won't laugh at my allies." I remember that you are so dedicated to your work, and I will still call you when there is something in the north in the future. ”

Hearing Shi Bin's promise, Batu was overjoyed, which showed that he finally had the possibility to get through. So he immediately said that he would continue to work hard for Shi Bin and strive for more Yuanren support.

But Shi Bin still didn't understand why Brother Ali was about to lose, and he was still so proud that he couldn't tolerate the slightest ridicule from others, so he asked.

In order to keep things from going wrong, Batu explained the reasons in detail. Ali Buge is the younger brother of Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, and has the right to inherit the throne of Khan, and Ali Buge's initial strength was stronger than Kublai Khan. Because the Mongol Empire established by Genghis Khan was supported by the Kipchak Khanate, the Ögedai Khanate, and the Chahatai Khanate

Ali Buge, only the Ilkhanate supported Kublai Khan. How could a great Khan who once had such great strength not be proud?

After understanding this, Shi Bin immediately promised that he would never laugh at Ali Buge, no matter how difficult he was, he would not laugh at all.

Three days later, Ali Buge came to Lanzhou, and the two met.

As Batu said, although Ali Buge is a little depressed, he still has a noble temperament and is still very proud. It's just that there is already some fatigue in his eyes, and he can see the lack of spirit, which is the result of continuous failure.

"Ali Buge Khan, hello." Shi Bin smiled very humbly.

"Hello Shi-sama." Seeing that Shi Bin was so polite, Brother Ali Bu smiled kindly.

"Great Khan, Shi has been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, but there are many trivial matters in the DPRK and China and I can't get out of the way, and Kublai Khan's guy has been blocking us, so we can only come to Lanzhou to meet, which is really unpleasant."

"That's true, Ben Khan has long wanted to meet the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was all Kublai Khan's bastard who stopped him."

At this time, Ali Buge and Shi Bin attributed all their sins to Kublai Khan, the 'bastard', in order to become 'harmonious', and also expressed their mutual admiration and admiration.

Because he had been told before, 'Ascend Mien, Fight Mi Qiu', Shi Bin knew that he must not talk about cooperation so quickly, and he had to make Ali Buge anxious and anxious, otherwise he would definitely not compromise easily with his pride.

After the greetings, Brother Ali Bu said, "Master Shi, do you see if we are..."

Before Brother Ali Bu's words were finished, Shi Bin immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "Great Khan, I brought you a few catties of the best West Lake Longjing and Biluochun, do you want to taste it?" That's a lot better than the green tea you're paying tribute to. ”

Since he was a Great Khan, of course he understood this politeness, so he decided not to talk about weapons and food for the time being, and expressed his willingness to taste good tea first.

In order to show his sincerity, Shi Bin also personally performed a tea ceremony that he was not proficient in. But these are already very good in the eyes of Ali Buge, and at the same time, they also make this proud Khan feel Shi Bin's sincerity.

I didn't want Brother Ali Buge to talk about support when he was drinking tea, but Shi Bin moved out the four main points of tasting. Tell Ali Buge, the first is to have nothing to do in your heart, the second is to be calm and clear, the third is to have noble guests, and the third is to be able to communicate with Yake.

In this way, Ali Buge's mouth will be completely blocked, and he can't talk about those mundane things, and once he says it, it will be too embarrassing for him to sweat so much. But as a Great Khan, how did he not know that this was Shi Bin's strategy? Therefore, although he communicated with Shi Bin like a close friend on the surface, he scolded Shi Bin's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

After the tea, it was time for lunch. This time, Ali Buge finally felt comfortable, because many things were discussed at the wine table.

It's just that at the luncheon, Shi Bin blocked Ali Buge's mouth again on the grounds of 'eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking'. Looking at Ali Buge's unhappy face, Shi Bin knew that he was anxious and couldn't tease him too much, so at the end of the luncheon, Shi Bin made a promise to 'start talking about the union after the lunch break'.

was a little unhappy that Shi Bin was so procrastinating, but Batu kept reassuring Shi Bin on the side that he was true to his word.

Although Batu has already surrendered to Shi Bin, Ali Buge still believes in him as a person and will not talk nonsense, not to mention that nonsense is not beneficial to everyone. Therefore, Ali Buge finally waited for the arrival of the afternoon quietly.
