C1944 Final volume
The captain frowned and said in a deep voice, "The general is busy, how can he be someone you can meet just because you want to? "Hurry up and go, if you continue to pester us, don't blame us for being impolite."
Xun Xiu thought for a while, gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and said: "Please go and report to General Nie again, big brother. Tell me, I have received General Li Shu's order to come."
"General Li Shu?" The guard captain was at a loss. It seemed that he had never heard of such a person. He turned around and looked at the other soldiers, asking if they had heard of such a person. The soldiers all shook their heads, indicating that they had not.
The captain could be sure that there was no general named Li Shu inside the Battle-tested Army, but he could not guarantee that Li Shu was not from another army.
He pondered for a moment, and asked curiously: I wonder which army is this General Li that you are talking about?
Xun Xiu said: "This big brother should report to General Nie. After hearing my general's name, General Nie will naturally know who he is."
"This ?" The guard captain thought for a moment and finally reluctantly nodded: "Alright, I'll help you run over again. But don't lie to me, otherwise I'll make things difficult for you!"
After he finished speaking, he gave another deep glance at Xun Xiu, and then turned around and returned to the camp.
When he returned to the Central Army Tent, he reported to Nie Ze that Li Shu had sent someone to request an audience. Nie Ze was also stunned when he heard it, and the latter held his chin, and muttered: "Li Shu? Which Li Shu? "
"The person did not say anything, he only said that once the general heard the name Li Shu, he would know who he was."
"That's strange." Nie Ze laughed. Amongst the generals he knew, there was no one called Li Shu. After a moment of careful consideration, he confirmed that he did not recognize this person. He waved his hand and said, "What a joke. This marshal does not know this person."
The captain was so angry that he clenched his fists. The brat outside the camp had so much courage, he actually dared to come and tease him. He really did not want to live! He cupped his hands in a salute and strode out angrily.
Just as he walked out of the Central Army Tent, Nie Ze who was inside suddenly trembled, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Come back!"
"Is there anything else, General?" Hearing Nie Ze's summons, the guard captain hurried back to the camp and looked at Nie Ze in confusion.
Nie Ze frowned and said: "Did the person who came say that Li Shu is my Feng Country's general?"
The guard captain blankly shook his head and said, "I never said that."
"The person who came is People of Zhen Country?"
"Oh ?" "Reporting to General, from the accent, he should be from the Xiangshan region." The Xiangshan he spoke of was the Xiangshan County of Zhen Country.
"Ah, so that's how it is. I know who this Li Shu is now." Nie Ze slowly nodded his head. Since Nie Ze's main target of defense was Zhen Country, he had some understanding of the situation with regards to Zhen Country. He had previously heard that Zhen Country had a small group of rebel forces and their leader was named Li Shu. It was just that when he suddenly heard that Li Shu had sent someone to meet him, he mistaken it to be an old acquaintance and did not expect for it to be the Li Shu from the Zhen Country Rebels.
Right now, he was sure that the person who had arrived was the leader of the Zhen Country Rebels, Li Shu. It was just that, he did not have any relationship with Li Shu, if there was any relation between them, there should only be enmity between them, why did he suddenly send someone to look for him?
Li Shu used the name of Li Hong's direct grandson as well as Zhen Country to restore his original name, while Nie Ze had long pledged his allegiance to Feng Country. As a traitor of Zhen Country, the two of them naturally only had hatred and gaps between them.
He stood up and paced back and forth within the Central Army Tent. After walking for a while, he turned his head and asked: "How many people are there?"
"Only one."
"Only one?"
"Yes, General!"
See you! Bring him to the Central Army Tent! " Nie Ze said in a serious tone.
"As you command!" The guard captain hastily replied and quickly ran out.
Not long later, Xun Xiu was brought in by soldiers from the outside. Nie Ze looked up and down at Xun Xiu. He looked to be less than thirty years old and was refined and weak like the wind.
Nie Ze dared not underestimate Xun Xiu. After entering the Central Army Tent, he hurriedly took two steps forward, and knelt down to kowtow, and said: "Little Xun Xiu, greets General Nie!"
"Get up!" Nie Ze stared straight at him, laughed and asked, "I heard that your father was once a Domestic Servant in my Nie Mansion?"
"Yes, my father's name is Xun. I wonder if the general still has an impression of him?" After Xun Xiu got up, he stood up obediently with his head lowered.
When the Zhen Country was still there, the Nie Family was a big family, and Nie Ze was already a noble Chief General. With his huge family and countless servants, how could he remember their names? He shook his head with a smile and said, "This commander, I can't remember."
"My father was only an ordinary labourer when he was in the Nie clan. It's normal that General Nie doesn't remember him."
"Tell me, why did you come to see this marshal today?"
"I am here on the orders of my general ?"
"Who is your general?" Nie Ze asked even though he already knew the answer.
"My family's general is Former King's 49th grandson, Li Shu. I wonder, has General Nie ever heard of him?" Xun Xiu asked.
If one were to talk about the royal family of Zhen Country, others might not understand it, but how could Nie Ze not know about it as a Chief General, it was just that he had never heard of Li Hong having a grandson. Of course, Li Hong had many sons, and his sons were even more numerous, even if there were some he had never heard of, it was normal, but there was one thing he could be sure of, was Li Hong's grandson.
He said unhurriedly, "This marshal has heard of Li Shu's name, and I know that he had formed a team of people and horses against the Chuan Country."
Xun Xiu said with a serious expression: "My family's general's army is not less than two hundred thousand, he can be said to be strong and strong. He has already sat on more than ten cities, and his power is all over Dragon Lake and Xiangshan."
Just as his mouth was gushing with endless words, Nie Ze interrupted him with a smile. "What does that have to do with this marshal?"
Xun Xiu said: "General Nie is also a People of Zhen Country, could it be that General Nie has really turned a blind eye to the destruction of Zhen Country? Don't tell me that the General Nie does not wish for me to regain my innocence and return to my country, and rebuild the glory of the past ? "
"Someone, come!" Nie Ze called out towards the outside of the tent in a slow and unhurried manner. Just as he finished speaking, two guards came in and interposed themselves to pay their respects. "What are your orders, General?"
"This thief has evil intentions. Pull him out and kill him!" The expression on Nie Ze's face did not change, but his eyes released a terrifying light. He still did not understand the purpose of Xun Xiu coming to see him, but he was clear that Xun Xiu saying all this in front of him was equivalent to pulling him into a fire pit. If this news were to spread to the imperial courts in Shang Jing, countless ministers would suspect that he had ulterior motives and had thoughts of restoring Zhen Country.
After the two guards heard this, without saying a word, one of them grabbed Xun Xiu's arm and pulled him out. At the same time, he realized that it was impossible to use Zhen Country to reform Nie Ze. As he was being dragged out by the guards, he anxiously shouted out loud, "My family's generals can assist Feng Country and General Nie in restraining Chuan Army. It will allow our Feng Country to be in an invincible position in the upcoming battles of Feng Country and Chuan Country ?"
These words moved Nie Ze's heart. He blinked his eyes, and waved at the two guards: "Bring him back!"
The two guards dragged Xun Xiu back to Central Army Tent and fiercely pushed him to the ground. Then, under Nie Ze's orders, they left the Central Army Tent.
Xun Xiu knelt on the ground, his face was pale from fright, and his body couldn't help but tremble as sweat dripped down like rain. Nie Ze leaned forward, coldly stared at him, and said: "If you dare bring up the matter of restoring my Zhen Country in front of this marshal again, this marshal will definitely kill you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! If I don't mention it, I will never mention it again!" Xun Xiu who had taken a spin around the gates of hell nodded his head.
"Say, do you think you can help 'my country' to restrict Chuan Army?" Nie Ze purposely emphasized the words' our country ', just to remind Xun Xiu that he was no longer a People of Zhen Country but a Feng Ren. He was the one in command of the Feng Country, a Chief General, and a Marquis.
"Yes, General Nie. Our generals have strong soldiers that can fight two hundred thousand men, and there will be more and more of them in the future. If we are able to form an alliance with the Feng Country, then it will be either inside or outside, and it will cause a huge blow and restriction to the Chuan Country. "
"Mm ?" Nie Ze rubbed his chin. That was true, just that...
He said: "Your side only has a insignificant two hundred thousand strong army, and you are also a random temporarily put together army. How can you help us control the Chuan Army? I'm afraid just sending an army out of Chuan Army alone would already be enough to annihilate all of your enemies. "
When it came to combat strength, Chuan Army was not inferior to Feng Army at all. In terms of commander, general of war, and even more so, there were plenty of talented people in the field of Chuan Country.
Xun Xiu's expression turned serious as he said, "Don't forget that in other countries, if two hundred thousand people were to come here, it could be called a mob, but in my People of Zhen Country's two hundred thousand, even if it was temporarily gathered together, it would still be considered as Mighty Army, able to sweep across the world unrivalled. Also, my family's generals are already famous in the Zhen Country, and with every cry and cry, the number of People of Zhen Country's warriors who come here is increasing constantly, I believe that not long from now, the number of people here will become five hundred thousand, one million, or even two million, is not enough to form an alliance with Feng Country."
