Xun Xiu stuffed the cloth bag back to the soldiers, and said with a dry smile: "Everyone, I am not here to ask for money from General Nie. I just want to see General Nie."
The captain of the soldiers frowned and said in a deep voice: "The general is busy with business, how can you see him whenever you want? Go away quickly, don't blame us for being rude to you if you keep messing around."
Xun Xiu's mind turned around, he gritted his teeth secretly, and said with a heartbeat, "Please tell me, this eldest brother, to report to General Nie again, and say that I am here under the orders of General Li Shu."
"General Li Shu?" The captain of the soldiers looked confused. 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 there was such a person. All the soldiers also asked.
He shook his head to express that he had not heard of it.
The captain of the soldiers can be sure that there is no general named Li Shu in the Hundred Wars Army, but he cannot guarantee that Li Shu is not a general from another army. If he really has friendship with the general, he will offend the people he sent.
I can't eat and walk around.
He pondered for a moment and asked curiously: "I wonder which legion this General Li you are talking about belongs to?"
Xun Xiu said: "This eldest brother, just go and report to General Nie. General Nie will know who he is after hearing the name of my general."
"This..." The soldier captain thought for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay then, I will help you run again, but don't lie to me, or I will make you look good!"
After speaking, he took another deep look at Xun Xiu, then turned around and returned to the camp.
When he returned to the Zhongjun 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 here didn't say anything. He only said that the general would know who he is after hearing the name Li Shu."
"This is strange." Nie Ze laughed. Among the generals he knew, there was no one named Li Shu. He thought carefully again and confirmed that he did not know this person. He waved and said: "Joke
, I don’t know this person.”
The captain of the soldiers was so angry that he clenched his fists. The boy outside the camp was so brave and dared to tease him. He simply didn't want to live anymore! He bowed his hands and saluted, and then strode out angrily.
As soon as he walked out of the central military tent, Nie Ze inside suddenly shook his body, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Come back!"
"General, what else do you have to say?" The captain of the soldiers heard Nie Ze's call and hurried back to the camp, looking at Nie Ze in confusion.
Nie Ze frowned and said, "Can anyone tell me that Li Shu is the general of our Feng Kingdom?"
The captain of the soldiers shook his head blankly and said, "I never said that."
"Is the person coming here a chastity?"
"Oh... I reported back to the general. Judging from the accent, he should be from the Xiangshan area." The Xiangshan he mentioned was Xiangshan County in Zhendi.
"Ah, I see, I know who this Li Shu is." Nie Ze nodded slowly. Since Nie Ze's main defense target was the Sichuan Army in Zhendi, he had some understanding of the situation in Zhendi.
Yes, I had heard before that there was a large rebel force in Zhendi, and its leader was Li Shu. But now he suddenly heard that Li Shu sent someone to see him, and he mistakenly thought it was his old acquaintance.
I didn't expect it to be Li Shu from the Zhendi rebels.
Now, he could basically conclude that the person who came was sent by Li Shu, the leader of the Zhendi rebels. However, he and Li Shu had no friendship. If he insisted on being involved, there should be only hatred between them.
Why did he suddenly send someone to find him?
Li Shu used the name of Li Hong's legitimate grandson to restore the Zheng Kingdom, while Nie Ze had already defected to the Feng Kingdom and was considered a traitor to the Zhen Kingdom. Of course, there was only hatred and rift between the two of them.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent. After walking for a while, he turned around and asked, "How many people are coming from the other side?"
"Only one person."
"Only one person?"
"Yes, General!"
"See you! Take him to the central army tent!" Nie Ze said in a deep voice.
"I obey, little man!" the soldier captain hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.
Not long after, Xun Xiu was brought in from the outside by the soldiers. Nie Ze looked at Xun Xiu up and down. He looked like he was less than thirty years old. He was elegant and frail, and he could tell at a glance that he was a scholar.
Nie Ze dared to look at Xun Xiu unscrupulously, but Xun Xiu did not dare to look at Nie Ze. After entering the Chinese army tent, he hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Xun Xiu, the villain, pays homage to General Nie!"
"Get up!" Nie Ze stared at him and asked with a smile, "I heard that your father was once a servant of my Nie family?"
"Exactly, my father's name is Xun Qu. I wonder if the general still remembers him?" After Xun Xiu stood up, he stood with his head bowed.
When the Zheng Kingdom was still there, the Nie family was a big family, and Nie Ze was already a general. His family had a big business, and there were countless servants. How could he remember their names one by one? He shook his head with a smile and said: "
Commander, I can’t remember clearly.”
"My father was just an ordinary laborer when he was in the Nie Mansion. It is normal for General Nie not to remember."
"Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
"The villain is here on the orders of my general..."
"Who is your general?" Nie Ze asked knowingly.
"My general is the forty-ninth grandson of the late king, Li Shu. I wonder, has General Nie ever heard of it?" 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. Now he has more than ten towns, and his influence is spread all over 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 to the tent slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came in, stepped in and saluted, and said, "General, what are your orders?"
"This thief has ulterior motives. Pull him out and kill him!" The expression on Nie Ze's face did not change, but his eyes shone with terrifying light. He still didn't know the purpose of Xun Xiu coming to see him, but he knew clearly that Xun Xiu was here.
Saying this in front of him is tantamount to dragging himself into a pit of fire. If this spreads to the imperial court in Beijing, how many ministers will suspect that he has two minds and wants to restore the country. Not to mention that his life is in danger.
The 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, supported him and walked out. Xun Xiu's face changed with fright. At the same time, he also realized that it was wrong to use Zhen Guo to influence Nie Ze.
It was possible. While being dragged out by the guards, he shouted urgently: "My general can help Feng State and help General Nie contain the Sichuan Army, so that Feng State can be 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 like raindrops, and his body shaking involuntarily. Nie Ze leaned forward, stared at him coldly, and said: "If you dare to reveal your virginity in front of me again,
This commander-in-chief will not pardon the affairs of the country!"
"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, but 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 of the Fengguo's army, a general.
, 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 internally and one externally, will cause great constraints and blows to the Sichuan Kingdom."
"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 effectiveness, 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.
A fool'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 thrown together from here and there, 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 control the world and no one can defeat them. Furthermore, my general has now become famous in Zhendi. He responds to his call and has an endless stream of Zhen people and lofty ideals who come to join us, with soldiers and horses.
It is increasing every moment. I believe that before long, the current 200,000 will become 500,000, 1 million, or even 2 million. If so, isn’t it worthy of forming an alliance with Feng Country?”
