Final Chapter 59

Xun Xiu stuffed the cloth bag back to the soldier, and said with a dry laugh: "Everyone, I am not here to ask General Nie for money, I just want to see General Nie. (**)"

The captain of the soldiers frowned and said in a deep voice: "The general is busy with affairs, how can you see him whenever you want? Go quickly, don't blame us for being rude to you if you keep making trouble."

Xun Xiu thought about it, gritted his teeth secretly, and said: "Please ask this big brother to report to General Nie again, and say that I came here on the orders of General Li Shu."

"General Li Shu?" The captain of the soldiers looked confused, and he seemed to have never heard of such a person. He looked back at the other soldiers and asked them with his eyes if they knew of such a person. The soldiers also shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.

The captain of the soldiers was sure that there was no general named Li Shu in the Baizhan Army, but he could not guarantee that Li Shu was not a general of another legion. If he really had a relationship with the general, he would be in trouble if he offended the people he sent.

He pondered for a moment and asked curiously: "Which legion is this General Li you are talking about from?"

Xun Xiu said: "Brother, just report to General Nie. General Nie will know who he is after hearing the name of my general."

"This..." The captain of the soldiers pondered for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly, saying: "Okay, I will help you make another trip, but don't lie to me, otherwise I will make you look bad!"

After speaking, he looked at Xun Xiu deeply again, and then turned back to the camp.

When he returned to the central army tent and reported to Nie Ze that Li Shu had sent someone to ask for an audience, Nie Ze was also stunned. The latter held his chin and murmured: "Li Shu? Which Li Shu?"

"The person who came didn't say anything, but said that the general would know who he was after hearing the name Li Shu."

"That's strange." Nie Ze laughed. Among the generals he knew, there was no such person named Li Shu. He thought about it carefully again and confirmed that he didn't know this person. He waved his hand and said, "What a joke, I don't know this person."

The captain of the soldiers was so angry that he clenched his fists. The kid outside the camp was so bold that he dared to tease him. He simply didn't want to live! He bowed his hands and saluted, and then strode out angrily.

As soon as he walked out of the central army tent, Nie Ze inside was suddenly shocked, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Come back!"

"General, what else do you want?" Hearing Nie Ze's call, the captain of the soldiers hurried back to the tent and looked at Nie Ze in confusion.

Nie Ze frowned and said, "Did the person here say that Li Shu is a general of my Feng country?"

The captain of the soldiers shook his head blankly and said, "No."

"Is the person here from Zhen?"

"Oh...Reporting to the general, judging from the accent, he should be from Xiangshan area." The Xiangshan he mentioned is Xiangshan County in Zhendi.

"Ah, so that's it, I know who this Li Shu is." Nie Ze nodded slowly. Since Nie Ze's main defense target is the Sichuan Army in Zhendi, he has some understanding of the situation in Zhendi. He has also heard that there is a large-scale rebel force in Zhendi before, and its leader is called Li Shu. It's just that now he suddenly heard that Li Shu sent someone to see him, and he mistakenly thought it was his old acquaintance. For a while, he didn't expect it to be Li Shu of the Zhendi rebels.

Now, he can basically conclude that the person who came was sent by Li Shu, the leader of the Zhendi rebels, but he and Li Shu have no friendship. If he insists on saying that there is a connection, there should only be hatred between them. Why did he suddenly send someone to find him?

Li Shu was under the banner of restoring Zhen State under the name of Li Hong's grandson, while Nie Ze had already defected to Feng State and was a traitor to Zhen State. Of course, there was only hatred and rift between the two of them.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the central army tent. After walking for a while, he turned around and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?"

"Only one person."

"Only one person?"

"Yes, General!"

"See! Take him to the central army tent!" Nie Ze said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command!" The captain of the soldiers hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.

Not long after, Xun Xiu was brought in by the soldiers from outside. Nie Ze looked up and down at Xun Xiu. He looked less than 30 years old, gentle and frail, and he was obviously a scholar at first glance.

Nie Ze dared to look at Xun Xiu unscrupulously, but Xun Xiu didn't dare to look at Nie Ze. After entering the central army tent, he hurriedly took two steps forward, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I am Xun Xiu, and I pay my respects to General Nie!"

"Get up!" Nie Ze stared at him with his eyes wide open, and asked with a smile: "I heard that your father was a servant of my Nie Mansion?"

"That's right, my father's name is Xun Qu, I wonder if the general still remembers it?" After Xun Xiu stood up, he bowed his head and stood in a proper manner.

When Zhen Guo was still there, the Nie family was a big family, and Nie Ze was already a general. He had a big family and countless servants. How could he remember their names one by one? He smiled and shook his head, saying: "I can't remember clearly."

"My father was just an ordinary farmhand in the Nie Mansion, so it's normal for General Nie not to remember it."

"Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming to see me today?"

"I came here on the orders of my general..."

"Who is your general?" Nie Ze asked knowingly.

"My general is the 49th grandson of the late king, Li Shu. I wonder if General Nie has ever heard of him?" Xun Xiu asked.

Others may not know much about the royal family of Zhenguo, but Nie Ze, as a general, would not know it. However, he had never heard that Li Hong had a grandson named Li Shu. Of course, Li Hong has many heirs, and the heirs of his heirs are even more countless. Even if there are some he has never heard of, it is normal, but one thing he can be sure of is that even if Li Shu is really Li Hong's grandson, he is definitely not his legitimate son. Sun.

He said slowly: "I have heard of Li Shu's name, and know that he has formed a large force in Zhendi to fight against the Sichuan Kingdom."

Xun Xiu said seriously: "My general has no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which can be said to be a strong army. He now has more than ten towns and his influence is spread across Longhu and Xiangshan counties..."

While he was eloquent and eloquent, Nie Ze interrupted with a smile: "What does it have to do with me?"

Xun Xiu said: "General Nie is also a Zhen man. Does General Nie really turn a blind eye to the destruction of Zhen country? Doesn't General Nie hope that I, Dazhen, will regain the country and rebuild the glory of the past..."

"Here comes someone!" Nie Ze called out slowly and calmly outside the tent. As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came in, stepped in and saluted, and said, "What are your orders, general?"

"This thief has ulterior motives. Pull him out and kill him!" The expression on Nie Ze's face did not change, but his eyes could shoot out a terrifying light. He still doesn't know the purpose of Xun Xiu coming to see him, but he knows one thing. Xun Xiu said this in front of him, which is tantamount to pulling him into a pit of fire. If this spreads to the imperial court in Beijing, how many ministers will doubt him. If you have two minds and want to regain the country, not to mention your own life, even the Hundred War Army may be disbanded on the spot.

When the two guards heard this, without saying a word, one of them grabbed one of Xun Xiu's arms, held him up and walked out. Xun Xiu's face changed with fright. At the same time, he also realized that it was impossible to use Zhen Guo to influence Nie Ze. While being dragged out by the guards, he shouted anxiously: "My general can help Feng Guo, Helping General Nie contain the Sichuan army can make Fengguo invincible in Fengchuan's future battles..."

This sentence moved Nie Ze's heart. He blinked and waved to the two guards: "Bring him back!"

The two guards dragged Xun Xiu back to the central military tent, pushed him to the ground, and then exited the central military tent at Nie Ze's signal.

Xun Xiu knelt on the ground, his face pale with fright, sweating profusely, and his body was shaking involuntarily. Nie Ze leaned forward, stared at him coldly, and said, "If you dare to bring up the matter of restoring the Zheng Kingdom in front of me again, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you don't mention it, I will never mention it again!" Xun Xiu, who walked around the gate of hell, nodded repeatedly, and he dared not mention the word "restoration of the country" again.

"You said, you can help 'our country' contain the Sichuan army?" Nie Ze deliberately emphasized the word "our country" to remind Xun Xiu that he was no longer a Zhenren, but a Fengren, the commander-in-chief and general of the Feng Kingdom's army. , Lord Hou.

"Yes, General Nie, the strong soldiers under my general can defeat 200,000 people, and there will be more and more soldiers and horses in the future, and the area under our control will become larger and larger. If we can fight against Feng The alliance between the two countries, one internal and one external, will cause great constraints and blows to the Sichuan country. "

"Well..." Nie Ze rubbed his chin. That's true, but...

He said: "You only have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and it is a temporary army. How can you help our country contain the Sichuan Army? I am afraid that the Sichuan Army only dispatches one legion, and you can wait for the rabble to be wiped out."

Nie Ze is not being alarmist when he says this. In terms of combat power, the Sichuan Army is not inferior to the Feng Army. In terms of commanders and generals, the Sichuan Kingdom is rich in talents. It is undoubtedly a challenge to compete with the Sichuan Kingdom with only 200,000 troops. An idiot's joke.

Xun Xiu's face straightened and he said: "General Nie, please don't forget that if in other countries, 200,000 people were scrapped together, they might be called a mob, but my dear friend's 200,000 people, even if they are just The people who were put together temporarily are also the masters of tigers and wolves, who can dominate the world and are unmatched by anyone. Furthermore, my general has now become famous in Zhendi. It is increasing every moment. I believe that before long, the current 200,000 will become 500,000, 1,000,000, or even 2,000,000. If so, isn’t it worthy of forming an alliance with Feng Country?”
