C1988 Final volume

Now that the Chuan Country had entered into such a predicament, the strength of the Zhen Country's rebel army had already increased, and their total force exceeded four hundred thousand, it was impossible for them to exterminate the easily. If they wanted to completely eliminate the rebel army, the only power the Chuan Country could provide was the main force of Central Army.

It could be seen that the Feng Country had other intentions towards the Chuan Country, and once the main force of the Chuan Army was to calm the chaos in the Zhen Country, the Feng Country would certainly take advantage of the absence of the Feng Country, and would inevitably cause much more harm than the rebel army.

Chuan Country sending troops was not the best, and neither was it not the best. After Xiao Xiang thought about it again and again, in the end, she sent an envoy to the Feng Country. She hoped that she could reach an agreement with the Feng Country that would allow the two nations to violate this agreement complementary before she sent her troops to pacify the chaos.

At this time, Xiao Xiang sent envoys over to discuss the alliance, naturally Tang Yin understood what she was planning. Tang Yin treated the envoys of the Chuan Country with respect, but regarding the matter of the alliance of the two nations, he firmly refused.

After sending away the envoy from the Chuan Country, Tang Yin sent out the envoy as well. It was just that the envoy he sent out wasn't to the Chuan Du Zhaoyang, but rather to the Zhen Country.

The envoy sent by Tang Yin was the Prime Minister, Secretary General.

Not only did Gao Liangjie have knowledge, he was also very quick to react. What Tang Yin valued the most was the arrogance others had because this was what Tang Yin wanted, as well as the attitude he had towards Li Shu.

On Tang Yin's orders, Gao Liangjie proceeded to the Zhen Country. The Xi Tang was originally the capital of the Zhen Country, but now that it was controlled by the forces of Li Shu, it was natural for Li Shu to enter the Xi Tang.

The current Li Shu could be said to be in high spirits. Although he had given himself the title of Great General, in reality, he was no different from a Monarch of Zhen Country.

After knowing that the Feng Country envoy had come, Li Shu went ahead and personally welcomed him out of the city.

And what Gao Liangjie had done to Li Shu was also to pay respects to a monarch, which made Li Shu feel extremely good. Since the envoy of Feng Country had already paid respects to him as a subject, it was clear that the Feng Country now viewed him as the monarch of their Zhen Country.

Li Shu brought Gao Liangjie into the city and invited him into his own Great General Palace. After all, he had not yet established himself as king, and thus was not suitable for living in the palace. For the time being, he had settled down within the General's Mansion that was relatively close to the palace.

He had set up a feast in the General's Mansion to entertain Gao Liangjie, and all of the ministers had come as well.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, Li Shu intentionally brought up the topic of the Zhen Country's throne. He sighed slowly towards Gao Liangjie, and said: "The Zhen Country has already been dominated by the People of Chuan Country for many years, and my People of Zhen Country has suffered all kinds of humiliation and suffering. Right now, thanks to the spiritual nature of the Former King, we have finally succeeded in driving away all of the People of Chuan Country, and recovered all of the Zhen Country.

Gao Liangjie laughed indifferently, and said: "Regarding this matter, my King is also happy to see it happen."

Li Shu was secretly happy when he heard this, and immediately said: "But a country should not be without a ruler. The candidate for the Chastity King..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gao Liangjie continued: "As for the choice of the Chastity King, that will obviously belong to the Great General."

"Aiya, Master Gao has killed me. What morals and abilities do I have? How do I dare to covet the throne of the Chastity King? These words must not be spoken carelessly." Although he said this, Li Shu was already extremely happy in his heart. Right now, he was only a step away from the throne.

As long as Feng King supported him, the Son of Heaven would definitely support him. With the support of the Son of Heaven, it would be perfectly justified for him to ascend the throne. This point was extremely important.

Gao Liangjie smiled and said: "There is no need for Great General to be modest. Firstly, Great General is a descendant of the Chastity King, so inheriting the throne is natural. Secondly, Zhen Country being able to restore one's country is all thanks to the Great General.

"What Master Gao says is extremely true. Great General cannot refuse anymore!" At this time, all of the Minister of Civil And Military Affairs s present also stood up and cupped their hands and urged Li Shu to come in.

"This ?" Li Shu's face was filled with difficulty. He shifted his gaze and looked at Yin Li who was sitting on his other side.

At this moment, all of the ministers present were urging him to go in. Only Yin Li remained silent as he sat there drinking his wine with an expressionless face. It was unknown what he was thinking. Li Shu frowned, what, Yin Li is opposed to being called king?

Just as he was about to ask, Gao Liangjie suddenly said: "It's just that not only is my Zhen Country unable to return to my country, Great General is also not able to become the Chastity King."

When these words came out, not only did Li Shu look displeased, the faces of the ministers all darkened. Li Shu asked in an amiable tone, "Master Gao, what do you mean by that?"

Gao Liangjie stood up, looked around at the crowd and said: "Everyone, do not forget, there is still Chuan Country at the east side, as long as Chuan Country is here, then Zhen Country will never be able to return to the country, and if it cannot, then how can we talk about the throne?"

That's right, how could Chuan Country allow a country to be restored to it, unable to return a nation, so of course there wouldn't be a king.

Seeing that everyone had lowered their heads, Gao Liangjie spoke in a serious tone: "So, if we want to restore our Zhen Country, there is only one way, and that is to eliminate our Chuan Country!"

Ah? Everyone took a deep breath. Don't look at how they escaped Chuan Army, that was because they were fighting in their own country, occupying the territory of the time and space, and now they had to send out their troops and fight in the land of Chuan, they might not be able to return at all!

Li Shu frowned and said: "The national power of Chuan Country is extraordinary, even after losing a few battles consecutively, there are still a lot of casualties, but the foundation of the Chuan Country has not been damaged, and the national power is still there. If my army were to use Chuan Country, it would be difficult to obtain victory."

Gao Liangjie laughed, then said: "With just the Your Army, it will be difficult to obtain victory, if the Feng and Zhen Zhen Zhen Families join hands, it would be a guaranteed victory, at that time, the Chuan Country would be destroyed, and the Feng Zhen Qi could be divided into two halves, not only could their Zhen Country be restored, they could even occupy half of the land, their power would be far stronger than before!"2

Ouch! Li Shu's eyes immediately lit up, and subconsciously stood up as well, asking closely: "Feng King is willing to join hands with this one, and destroy Chuan Country together?"

"That's right!" Gao Liangjie answered bluntly, and said with determination, "Although the Your Army does not have a lot of troops, I have more than one million elite soldiers. As long as the two countries join hands and attack together, one to the north and one to the west, why not destroy Chuan Country?"

Li Shu's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed out loud, and said 'yes' three times in a row.

"There is an irreconcilable hatred between our Chuan Country and mine. As long as the Feng King gives the order, my several hundred thousand Chastity Army brothers will be at the command of the Feng King. As long as we can eliminate the Chuan Country, my People of Zhen Country will ascend the mountain of blades and descend the sea of flames.

"Good!" With Great General's words, my king is at ease. "

Li Shu raised his wine cup high up and said: "Master Gao, toast to the two of us who have reached an eternal alliance!"

Gao Liangjie was straightforward as well. He raised his wine cup and finished it in one gulp. The following banquet continued late into the night before ending. Regarding the matter of Feng Zhen and his faction sending out their troops and Chuan Country, Li Shu and the ministers under him were sincerely excited from the bottom of their hearts.

People of Zhen Country's hatred towards Chuan Country was too deep, and this hatred was slowly accumulated, and could be said to have been buried deep into one's bones. However, if they had to send out their forces to invade the Chuan Country, they wouldn't have the guts to do so no matter what. After all, with the strength of the Chuan Country there, if the Zhen Jun Army invaded the Chuan Country, it would be akin to striking a stone with an egg. But after joining forces with Feng Country, it would be different. Feng Country's national strength and military strength would not be inferior to Chuan Country's.

Amongst the ministers, the only one who did not report this matter with an optimistic attitude was Yin Li. In his opinion, Tang Yin's ambition was too big, as he had already set his sights on Chuan Country, if Chuan Country were to truly be destroyed, then the next to suffer misfortune would definitely be his own side.

After the banquet, Yin Li did not leave, but chose to stay until the end. After everyone had left, he explained the thoughts in his heart to Li Shu in detail.

But right now, Feng, Chuan, and Zhen Xing were clearly in a three-legged situation, with Feng Country being the strongest and Chuan Country being second, and their own side being the weakest, if they joined hands with Feng Country and annihilated them, then they would inevitably be affected in the end. The best way was to negotiate with Chuan Country, and if possible, form an alliance with them to resist the wind.

Feng Country was a benefactor who helped their own side. If their own side could achieve such an achievement, and was able to use the entirety of their Zhen Country, relying almost all on their own side's financial resources, and Chuan Country was an enemy of theirs. Who knew how many People of Zhen Country s were killed and enslaved by's People of Chuan Country?

At this time, Li Shu was already somewhat drunk, adding on to the fact that Yin Li's words were getting more and more outrageous, and the more he heard, the more unpleasant it sounded to his ears.

Li Shu's opinion of Yin Li had started to change bit by bit. At the beginning, he was only skeptical about Yin Li and tried him out.

The reason he could still tolerate Yin Li's existence was because Yin Li was still too strong when it came to managing armies and wars, and there was no one to replace him. It could be said that without Yin Li's command, even Li Shu's forces would not have been able to go so far.

No matter what, Li Shu did not listen to Yin Li's suggestion in the end. Instead, he accepted Tang Yin's request and decided to join forces with his Feng Country to send out troops.

After all, Feng Country was different from Zhen Country. If one wanted to dispatch their troops, they had to find a reasonable excuse. They had to make their troops reasonable, and stand at the peak of morality.

It was difficult to live in peace between two neighboring countries, but it was easy to create trouble.

Very quickly, the chance came. A caravan of Feng Country were robbed within the borders of the Chuan Country, not only the goods and money were all stolen, even the people in the caravan were all killed, this could be considered a tragedy.

Feng Country was just worrying about not being able to find the opportunity, and if something like this happened, how could they miss it? Feng Country had sent an envoy to Chuan Country, and the restricted Chuan Country had found the culprit within three days, so Feng Country was also fair.

Speaking of which, the Chuan Country did not pay much attention to this matter. Even within the Chuan Country, this kind of looting and trading team would frequently happen, however, it was a little rare for them to be so vicious and not leave any survivors.

Three days later, Chuan Country concluded that the bandits had done it. As for their whereabouts, no one knew where they were now, so there was a need to continue to investigate.
