Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"Cao Bin is domineering, insidious and cunning, and he can't even take advantage of the blackmailer, you..."

Seeing Wuyi Jieshan holding a wisdom pearl, Wei Mingwei was a little skeptical, but also a little unconvinced.

Seeing him questioning himself, he didn't move the mountains and didn't feel upset, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"If King Wei doesn't believe it, you can try it tomorrow."

"Jieshan has a secret message to the king, as long as the king tells the envoy of Song Dynasty, he will be able to make him back down immediately."

At this time, Wuyi Jieshan has fully interpreted the image of a master. If you give him another feather fan, I am afraid that he can immediately transform into Zhuge Liang.

Brother Wei Wei was surprised and said:

"Just one sentence? This..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Jieshan smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt. If this matter fails, Jie Shan is willing to send the head."

Seeing that he was so sure, Brother Wei Mingwei suddenly became suspicious. Is it really feasible?

Unmoved Jieshan saw this, but felt secretly refreshed.

He came to offer advice because he got Cao Bin's order and Da Song cooperated, so how could it go wrong?

What Wei Ge said to Song Shi is not important, the important thing is that the result will scare Wei Ming Wei, making him think that it is a good idea to not move all mountains.

As long as he accepts this plan, there will be more calculations in the future, which will deepen this impression on him and make him completely trust in Unmoved Mountains.

And he would never have thought that Cao Bin would compromise on such a huge benefit, just to let Wuyi Jieshan gain his trust.

In fact, the price is included in the plan, in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible, so that Jieshan can gain the trust of Brother Wei, just to beat the rabbit, just do it smoothly...

After offering his advice, he didn't move Jieshan and didn't stay any longer, so he just said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, seeing Weiming Wei brother still looking pensive, Jie Shan smiled secretly.

"You're still young after all..."

Thinking of this, he was a little dumbfounded:

"If you don't hide your siblings, it's not worth the effort."

He has Chen Deng's inheritance, and he has a lot of experience in watching people.

Some people, if they don't hide their lies, even if they can bluff him, they can't gain his long-term trust. If they are a little careless, they will be questioned again.

Therefore, both Jieshan and Cao Bin chose Brother Weiming Wei.

Wuzang Heiyun can use him to balance Yepang, so naturally Cao Bin can use him to influence Xixia.

Sure enough, Brother Wei had just finished talking with Da Song the next day, so he couldn't wait to find Jie Shan, and excitedly said:

"I didn't move the patriarch, Da Song really backed down, and they agreed to accept my green salt for 4 and a half."

Unmoved Jieshan's expression remained unchanged, he nodded calmly and said:

"It's not what I expected, but this is not the bottom line of the Song people. If the king listens to me, there is still room for negotiation."

Brother Wei felt elated today, he made a breakthrough in just one day of the negotiation that Ye Pang failed to win in more than half a month, which will definitely impress the emperor's wife.

Although today's harvest is not enough to negotiate, but at least progress has been made.

However, he still had some doubts about not moving all mountains, so he asked:

"It's just that the king is a little puzzled."

"Cao Bin has always been domineering, why are his subordinates so afraid of not changing the patriarch's words?"

Unmoved Jieshan said with a smile:

"I wonder if Cao Bin's attitude towards the king has changed before and after he arrived in Xixia?"

Hearing this, Brother Wei suddenly remembered Cao Bin's politeness to him when he entered the city, so he nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, yes, yes."

Speaking of this, he was embarrassed to describe it in detail. He couldn't say that he was almost bullied to death by Cao Bin in Song Dynasty, so he just said:

"Maybe it can be said that...the former is arrogant and the latter is respectful?"

Unmoved Jieshan stroked his beard with a smile and said:

"That's right, Song Ting fights a lot, and Cao Bin is young and in a high position, so he must be attacked."

"He was able to argue in the Song Dynasty, but now he can't do it, so he restrained himself, at least not to let the Song Dynasty's court discussion break out at this time."

Brother Weiming Wei was a little speechless when he heard this. Is Cao Bin's current behavior restrained?They all slept in the palace.

Without waiting for him to argue, Mei Jieshan continued:

"Both the queen mother and the prime minister have selfish intentions, and they are not afraid of Cao Bin. Only the great prince is loyal to the country."

"So what Cao Bin worries about is nothing more than the king..."

Hearing this, Brother Wei seemed to have suddenly realized, and immediately slapped his thigh, and said with a heartbroken voice:

"Ah, the emperor's wife was bewitched by Cao Bin's masculinity, and Ye Pang was determined to claim power and fight for power, but was impatient and failed, and taught Cao Bin to act recklessly in Xixia."

As he said that, he thought of something again, got up quickly, grabbed Miyi Jieshan and said:

"If it hadn't been for the reminder from the elders, I still don't understand the meaning!"

It was the first time he knew that he was so powerful that even a domineering person like Cao Bin was afraid of him.

Thinking about it now, Cao Bin felt a little sympathetic to each other when he gave way at the gate of the capital.

It's a pity that the emperor's wife doesn't know how to repay her in her heart, which is a pity.

So he hurriedly asked:

"If you haven't moved senior, then are you going to continue to use this to force Cao Bin to make concessions?"

Unmoved Jieshan shook his head and said:

"Brother Wei, it's too late to go too far. The sooner we reach an agreement, the sooner Xixia will get out of the predicament."

"I have already made a detailed plan. As long as Your Majesty uses my plan, I will be able to increase the price of salt by half a penny, and I will be able to buy and sell for a long time."

"Besides, the Empress Dowager is also urging, it's useless to delay..."

Brother Wei Mingwei nodded sadly and said:

"Oh, this king knows...it's all for the emperor's wife."

Seeing this, Wuyi Jieshan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Now that Brother Weiming Wei has been settled, more than half of the negotiation has been completed.

With his cooperation, and Cao Bin personally operating at the Empress Dowager Wuzang, there should be no problem in reaching an agreement.

This salt price is neither high nor low to Cao Bin, but his purpose is not to do so, but to change the economic production structure of Xixia.

It is a foregone conclusion that Xixia relies on the salt trade to govern the country. If it is not obedient, as long as it cuts off the green salt trade, its supply can collapse immediately.

At that time, it will not have enough living supplies, nor will it be able to break through the Hengshan blockade, so it will go to Song Dynasty to rob, and Cao Bin's people will still be inside, so there is only one way left for it.

It can last for three or four years, and it can be as short as one or two years. Xixia will have no possibility of escaping.

Just as Cao Bin's plan in Xixia was progressing steadily, the war in Hebei was also in full swing.

Last year, after Huaixi Wang Qing was defeated by Mu Guiying, knowing that he was no match for Mu Guiying, he didn't even want the rest of his family fortune, so he fled to Hebei with some of his essence to join Tian Hu.

Both of them are not peaceful people. Seeing that the people's sentiments are turbulent this year, the emperor has a new funeral, and the court is unstable, they immediately called on troops to rebel.

They are extremely powerful, not only attacking prefectures and counties in Hebei, but also quickly spread to the west of Taihang, occupying Jincheng, Fenzhou, and even threatening Taiyuan...

Spring is the season for all things to grow, but the vast plains to the east of Taihang Mountains are dilapidated and sparsely populated.

The wandering wind is mixed with blood, and there are uncontained corpses crawling on the road...

Although the government has basically put down the rebellion in Hebei, it is difficult to restore the vitality to the past.

Zhending City Military Office.

Mrs. She is sitting in the main seat at this time, reading the letter.

The female generals below and Yang Zongbao did not speak, waiting for her reaction.

After a while, she raised her head and said:

"Master Kou said that the imperial court highly appreciates us for quickly pacifying Hebei."

"Wang Xiang also intends to restore Zong Baoguan to his position."

Everyone just showed joy, and Madam She continued:

"However, I can't be discouraged. I can quickly mobilize the army, and the lady will be imprisoned in Jin, and help Wang Deyong to put down the Tianhu bandits."

As she spoke, she said passionately:

"As long as we take the lead in suppressing Tian Hu, not only will we be able to offset previous crimes, but we will also be able to add new merits."

"In this way, Pan Renmei will have no reason to stop Guiying from serving in front of the palace, and even compete with Di Qing."

She was well aware of Pan Renmei's shamelessness.

Even if the Yang family wins this rebellion, it is likely to be hindered by Pan Renmei.

Most likely, he would go back on his words and veto the addition of the post of Deputy Envoy of the Front Office. In that case, only Di Qing could secure this position.

If they have accumulated enough meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion this time, even if there is only one vacancy, Mu Guiying can still fight for it.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang's family was on the wrong team this time, Mu Guiying's support would be much deeper than Di Qing's.

Kou Zhun also solemnly reminded this matter in the letter.

The best situation is to drag Cao Bin into the water through Di Qing. As long as Cao Bin is pulled to their side, Pan Renmei's calculation will not succeed.

Doing so can not only destroy the relationship between Cao and Pan, but also win over Cao Bin, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Although Madam She was very dissatisfied with Cao Bin because of Eighth Sister Yang's matter, but Pan Renmei was involved in state affairs, she still gave in a little.

If Cao Bin can draw a clear relationship with Pan Renmei, and succeed in planning the "marriage together" plan, then it's not like she can turn a blind eye to the matter of Eighth Sister Yang.

Hearing Madam She's words, all members of the Yang family immediately looked hesitant and stopped talking.

Mu Guiying pondered for a while, then frowned and said:

"Old Madam, this plan is wrong."

"Our army has just pacified Wang Qing, and the loss is not small. The soldiers are in urgent need of rest."

"Besides, if Tian Hu captures southern Shanxi, once he goes east from Zhiguan and Taihang, he will directly threaten Luoyang and Bianjing."

The south side of Shanxi is close to Gyeonggi. Although it is blocked by the Taihang Mountains, there are two roads to go out. If you go north, you can attack Daming Mansion, and if you go south, you can cross the Yellow River to attack Jingluo, which is very dangerous.

After speaking, she suggested:

"It's better for me to lead the troops to the south and station in Weizhou to guard against bandits."

Yang Zongbao also nodded and said:

"Old Majesty, Guiying is right. Threatening Taiyuan is a small matter, but Bianjing is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Madam She smiled and said:

"Zongbao Guiying doesn't need to worry, the Taihang Erxing pass is dangerous, the imperial court has sent heavy troops to guard it, it is expected that there is no defense!"

"As the saying goes, soldiers are precious and fast. Now Jingxing Dao is still in the hands of the imperial court. We are going to save Taiyuan by surprise."

Jingxing Road is also one of the Eight Xing Roads in Taihang, which connects Zhending and Taiyuan through layers of high mountains. However, this Xing Road is not short, and the mountain road is also very difficult.

Speaking of it, the old lady looked at this and said:

"Although we waited to calm down Hebei quickly, Wang Qing was just a vassal of Tian Hu, and let him escape. His merits are still insufficient, and it is not enough to even offset his previous crimes."

"Even if the old man doesn't want to enter the army, the imperial court will urge..."

Eighth Sister Yang said with some resentment:

"Then we need to rest our soldiers. We have a small number of soldiers, but now we only have more than five thousand soldiers. How can we fight again?"

"Furthermore, if Cao Bin hadn't sent his subordinates to pass on military information, how could we have pacified Hebei so quickly?"

"The imperial court has no reason to let us continue to march."
