Chapter 31 A multi-pronged approach

Shi Bin soon returned to the barracks, and although he was promoted to a command, he was not as happy as Meng Heng.

recruited a few brothers into the tent to inform them of their promotion, Wang San and several others were all very happy, but Shi Bin was there with a smile.

Zhao Gang, a reckless man, shouted and drank vigorously, and he didn't return home if he wasn't drunk. The rest of the people also followed suit, after all, of course, the promotion of the capital official had to be celebrated and have a good time. This feeling of the aftermath of death makes people fully feel the preciousness of life, and makes people want to be happy in time.

Of course, these should be, Shi Bin also shouted that he must have a drink, but this time there were only a few brothers.

Wang San, the "nine-headed bird", could see that something was wrong from the moment he entered the door, but when he was happy, he didn't want to come out and lose his luck, so he only planned to talk to Shi Bin private. Because of such a great merit, it is normal for an official to be promoted to a higher level, but it is very abnormal for Shi Bin to behave like this. After all, his eldest brother is not playing with changing faces, and his Taoism is not so deep, so he fools other brothers, and Shi Bin can't hide it from him.

The brothers went to the Drunken Immortal Building at night to have a good drink, and Zhao Gang and the others were all drunk. Shi Bin and Wang San also drank a lot, but they didn't drink high-end rice wine very well, so their thinking was still clear and not confused.

"Big brother, let's talk about it, I've been promoted, but I haven't seen you really smile. Most of the time it's not the pressure that Lord Meng puts on you, he's a typical iron-blooded soldier. Wang San said with concern.

Looking at Wang San, Shi Bin knew that he had guessed a few points in his heart. He looked at Wang San helplessly, and then looked into the distance, the cloudless clear sky was empty and lifeless in his eyes.

Shi Bin's face was full of melancholy, Wang San knew that things were not small, and most of the time Shi Bin was a little helpless.

Shi Bin slowly said the matter, and Wang San, who heard this, was also struck by lightning, never expecting that Song Ting would actually take advantage of this to negotiate peace. Looking at this trend, even if Xiangyang is held, it is certain that the meeting will be peaceful, the difference is only how many coins will be paid for this treaty, and how long can it be bought for peace.

"Then what does Meng Dutong mean? He's not going to approve of it, is he? Wang San asked.

"How can such an iron-blooded soldier, an absolute main battle faction, approve of it? The problem is that this Song Ting is already cowardly, and Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is a usurpation. Since the "release of military power with a glass of wine", the status of military generals is very low, and Lord Meng must be difficult to support alone. Shi Bin sighed.

Maybe it was because Shi Bin just sighed and didn't show extreme frustration, which made Wang San feel that things might have a turnaround, but after all, he drank some wine, which made this usually steady guy also shout angrily: "Seeing that the eldest brother must also have some methods, it seems that it is difficult to make a decision." Do you want to discuss with your younger brother? Even if it can't be done, it's a big deal that Song Ting is finished, let's do it ourselves! ”

Hearing these words, Shi Bin immediately covered Wang San's mouth, he didn't expect that his resourceful and virtuous brother would have such a gaffe. These words should have come out of the mouths of Zhao Gang and others, but now they were all said by Wang San, which surprised him very much.

It must be known that he has read the books of sages and received the teachings of "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher". absolutely knew that once these words were heard by someone with a heart, it would be a catastrophe, but now he shouted out without any scruples, which shows that he is completely desperate for Song Ting.

"Brother Xian, don't be impatient, I did talk to Master Meng about a strategy. It is to unite the main battle faction to admonish the group, and find a way to make Jia Yidao stand up once, even if he doesn't stand up, it's good not to get in the way. Shi Bin patiently reassured.

"Big brother has a good plan, and I think it should be the same. But don't you think there's something missing? Wang San asked rhetorically.

"Less? I feel like I'm missing territory and enough people. Shi Bin opened his mouth and said.

"No, no, no, big brother, that's not the point. We have no backers, and we must find a big enough backer to get the territory and recruit people. In this way, we can be self-reliant, and we can have enough strength to resist the yuan, otherwise we will always send people under the fence, or we will be a gang of gangsters and bandits. Wang San explained to Shi Bin.

Seeing that Shi Bin still didn't understand, Wang San said again: "From the words of the eldest brother, the younger brother already knows what the eldest brother is thinking, and you must also be an ambitious person." But the eldest brother obviously thought that if we could enter the Meng Mansion and the Jia Mansion, we would already be considered to be on the line. ”

"Of course, being able to enter the mansion is of course a ride."

looked at Shi Bin like a child who had just entered a private school, and said, "Doesn't the eldest brother understand what "nodding friends" means? Don't understand what it means to be "false and wrong"? There are more people who can enter the Meng Mansion and the Jia Mansion, will they help everyone? If we hadn't been useful to Meng Dutong, he would have ignored us village horsemen either. ”

These words can be described as heart-wrenching, at this time Shi Bin understood the meaning of Wang San's words, indeed, in his previous life, he could see more smiling on weekdays, and he was as good as a new brother when he talked to people, and as soon as he asked him to do something, he immediately pretended to be confused and did not miss the old feelings.

Although he didn't think that Meng Dutong was that kind of person, he did have to seriously deal with the question raised by Wang San. After all, it is impossible for him to reach the sky in one step, and he really needs a backer in the process.

In his previous life, he was just a small citizen, and he was not a second-generation official, where did he know what to drill the camp, and he couldn't drill the camp, let alone find a backer, and after the work was done, he played cards and slept.

Even before joining the army in this life, he spent all day hunting and catching up and getting food to eat. If Wang San hadn't taken him out, he would probably have lived in such a mess in that mountain for the rest of his life.

"Having said that, but we are already under the leadership of Meng Dutong, Lord Meng is a loyal minister, I am afraid that he will not do these things that are selfish and disobedient to the king. Although he will definitely have some like-minded people, he is definitely a righteous man and gentleman, and he will definitely not form a party for personal gain. The group admonition is estimated to be the limit of what he can tolerate, but he himself is at a loss at this time? Shi Bin said wistfully.

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin was really thinking about others, which made Wang San really a little surprised. A big brother who only thinks about how to respect other people's attitudes, but doesn't want to work hard to get things done, really has to guide and supervise.

"The eldest brother is really benevolent, I didn't say that I wanted to vote for Meng Dutong. As you said, although Meng Dutong also has loyal subordinates, his laws are extremely strict, which is not suitable for our brothers to plot a great cause. In his opinion, it is a great rebellion for us to form a party for personal gain. You remember Jia Ling we saved, we can go to Jia Lingdao. Wang San then smiled strangely, "I know that Jia seems to have a bad reputation. Some people scolded him for bringing disaster to the country and the people, the people of fish and meat, and being incorruptible and shameful. But the eldest brother doesn't have to care, as long as we don't go along with him, it's not a big deal to help him wave the flag and shout a little, I think his power alone should be worthy of our vote for him. ”

The word power made Shi Bin stunned for a moment, and then made a gesture to signal Wang San to continue.

Of course, Na Jia seems to be not a righteous gentleman, but he is not a big traitor, that is, a traitor and a courtier who misled the country, he relied on the sister of the concubine who was favored by the emperor to be so beautiful, and he would only speculate and drill camps. We saved his daughter, and it will certainly make it easy for him to accept us. He is also the commander of Huguang, and if we handle the relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to us. Big brother, we can't let go of such a good opportunity。。。。。 ”

The more Wang San talked, the more excited he became, as if Shi Bin didn't agree, he would die of regret, and once Shi Bin didn't agree with his strategy, he was a fool who knew there was treasure but didn't dig it.

Seeing Wang San so excited, Shi Bin also became curious, this brother had just lost his temper because of anger, and now he was also greatly out of shape because of happiness, how could such a violent reaction not be surprising. So he asked seriously: "Seeing that the virtuous brother is in such a state, it must be a great benefit that the promising brother does not know." And Brother Wei is a little puzzled by the word 'power' you said. ”

"What the eldest brother said is true, it seems that you don't know the authority of the general leader of Huguang. This is a feudal official who is even more powerful than Meng Dutong. ”

How can it be? Meng Heng was already the ambassador of Jinghu pacification, the founding prince of Handong County, the inspector of the school, and now (1244 in the fourth year of Chunyou) is also the prefect of Jiangling. Is there a bigger official above such a powerful figure?

"Big brother, it's not that this official is bigger than Lord Meng, but this system has long been inferior to the scenery of the past, and now it is only in charge of the military, and the rest are under the jurisdiction of the local state capital. However, the Huguang Commander-in-Chief is a financial institution specially set up to check and balance the local garrison army, and also has the responsibility of supervising the army. Therefore, this Jia Rudao is not only in charge of Lord Meng's military lifeline, but also a Shang Fang sword hanging over his head. ”

In this way, Shi Bin completely understood, isn't Jia Rudao the head of the third-level supervision organization of the Guanda University? No wonder Wang San wants to vote for Jia so much, not only can he engage in fraud and get more grain, grass and ordnance, but also rely on him to be promoted as soon as possible, which is indeed a great benefit.

However, Shi Bin was still a little unhappy in his heart out of respect for Meng Hui and disgust for Jia Yidao. Still wondering if there can be a way to get the best of both worlds.

"The eldest brother's thoughts, the younger brother understands, but we have to be like this, if we follow Meng Dutong closely, although we will also be promoted, but it will definitely be much slower, time will not wait, big brother! As long as we still advocate anti-Yuan, we don't have a conscience. ”

This heartfelt sentence moved Shi Bin very much, the reality is indeed the case, he can only temporarily vote for Jia and take off in a rocket. So he asked, "How does the virtuous brother think that we can speed up our development after defecting to Jia Nidao?" ”

"The younger brother thinks that it is necessary to take a multi-pronged approach. First, let's contact Jia Rudao, and let Jia and Meng call on the ministers to admonish them, which can be regarded as believing in Lord Meng's words, and will not let him think that we are villains who forget our righteousness and break our promises. Second, we should find a way to win Jia Yidao's support and make him accept us. Thirdly, as soon as he accepts us, he will immediately ask him to arrange us in the place, and he will give us the right to recruit soldiers and the king, and we must not be in this barracks again. Fourth, we'd better find a way to stimulate those Yuan people to continue to invade the south, just want to destroy the Song Dynasty, even if there is some infamy, we have to carry it. Fifth, it would be best if there was a way to divide the Yuan people or fight among themselves. Even if there is no infighting, it is good to tear each other down. ”

Shi Bin frowned after hearing this, and said with a helpless smile: "Hearing what the virtuous brother said, the foolish brother suddenly opened his mouth. I wholeheartedly agree, but this law is a bit unjust, and my conscience is really a little uneasy for my brother. ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal. What's more, after all, we are here to resist the yuan, why is it difficult? ”

Knowing that he was not decisive enough to kill some women, for the sake of An Wangsan's heart, Shi Bin immediately said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, Brother will definitely do what you do." But don't talk about self-reliance in this barracks, we just need to go to the county to secretly recruit township soldiers and regimental training. ”

Wang San knew that this was a big rebellion, and one accidentally would affect everyone, so he naturally laughed embarrassedly. But the plan was not bad, which naturally made both of them happy.
