The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 836 Conditions
Empress Xiao remained calm, "Borrowing soldiers?"

Soldiers, the country's major events, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed.

Zhang Zilu opened his bow at this time and did not turn his head back. He bit his head and said: "At Zhang Zilu, I will borrow five thousand elite soldiers from Her Majesty the Queen to help me fight in Xishu! Once the two cities are captured, they will be returned in full!"

Empress Xiao blinked and said, "An incident in Western Shu? My [-] elite soldiers may have been known to Western Shu before they left the Daliao, right? When they send heavy troops to chase and intercept them, I'm afraid these [-] elite soldiers have not arrived in Western Shu. The land of Shu will be completely dead and wounded, right? Do you think you have a chance of success?"

"Your Majesty, our entry into Shu will naturally be carried out quietly, and we can break it up into pieces and act in batches to ensure the safety of the elite Khitan soldiers."

"But in the end, Dashu will know about my loan of troops to you. When they get angry and join Dazhou to attack Liao, what should I do?"

"At that time, I had already started to attack Shu, how could they have the energy to attack Liao?"

"How confident are you in attacking Shu?"

"Three points!"

"Dare to take action if you are only three-point sure?"

"My adoptive father once said that as long as a person is three-point sure, he should fight hard, instead of waiting until he is seven-point sure or even very sure, then the opportunity may have been missed!"

"I didn't expect your adoptive father to be so insightful!"

"Yes."

"I think Mr. Zhang is extraordinary, and your adoptive father must be very human!" This is clearly asking who Zhang Zilu's adoptive father is!
"My adoptive father studied heaven and man, and his martial arts are world-class. He rebuilt the Demon Cult in Xishu, and he is known as the Demon Lord."

"Oh, so it's the leader of the Devil's Cult. I've admired you for a long time." She didn't know the right and wrong at all, but she could still do tricks, and it was just a matter of raising a sedan chair.

Zhang Zilu said happily: "It turns out that Her Majesty the Empress also knows the name of my adoptive father!"

Empress Xiao changed the subject, "You said just now that you have to pay back what you borrowed, and you want to pay back the five thousand elite soldiers?"

"Not bad!"

"How do you give it back in full? Is it the return of the perfect return to Zhao style, or the return of the number?" This sentence hits the point!Back then, you were loaned [-] elite soldiers capable of conscripting and fighting, but what happened to you returning [-] old, weak, sick and disabled?

"Mr. Zhang, soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated. Five thousand elite soldiers have fought bloody several times. How do you ensure that no one is injured or killed?"

Seeing Xiao Hou's calm expression, Zhang Zilu couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. Now that he had reached this point, how could he back down halfway?Bite the bullet and said: "Of course I can't guarantee that there will be no casualties! However, I can guarantee that if one person is missing, I will pay back ten people in the future! I will return ten strong young laborers, plus ten cows, ten sheep, and gold. One hundred taels!"

"Whether you borrowed it or not, who am I going to ask for it?" The Queen suddenly stared at Zhang Zilu and asked.

"The queen said that there is a lack of a guarantor?" Zhang Zilu turned his eyes and suddenly stopped on Feng Jiuxiao, "It's easy to say, Mr. Feng is a queen who can be trusted, I suggest that Mr. Feng be my guarantor. I swear to the heavens that if I break my promise in the future, I will die by Master Feng's sword!"

In fact, Empress Xiao didn't care about the small issue of guarantor at all.What she thought of was the situation of the world in the next ten years after Zhang Zilu raised his army with five thousand elite soldiers!

He made such a fuss in Xishu, failure is an ending, it will be a direction.While success is also a possibility, the situation will develop in another direction.

If Zhang Zilu succeeds, he will attack the city and pull out the stronghold all the way, singing and advancing like a broken bamboo, and soon won the entire territory of Xishu.and then?What is his next step?Where do we go from here?Will he stop here, or will he have a vested interest and return to Shu?Will it become the second big Zhou in the future, staring at Yanyun for sixteen weeks, wanting to recover the Han Dynasty, and even want to attack the Daliao in the Northern Expedition?This is the bad side.

But it would be wrong to say that there is no benefit at all.If he can really win Xishu, then Daliao can use the contradiction between Xishu and Dazhou to provoke Xishu to attack Zhou!Once the war between Western Shu and Great Zhou begins, the opportunity for my Khitan expedition to the south will come!
If Zhang Zilu fails, but Dashu will suffer heavy casualties, Dashu will naturally put the blame on Daliao. When the time comes to form a joint force with Dazhou, Daliao will also have a headache!
Everything is a double-edged sword, it depends on how to deal with it!
Empress Xiao pondered for a moment, and said, "Young Master Feng will be the guarantor, I agree."

There was joy in Zhang Zilu's eyes, but he knew that he should not get carried away in such an occasion, so he controlled his expression calmly.

But after hearing Empress Xiao say another but, Zhang Zilu's heart skipped a beat, and sank again!
"In the past, Shi Jingtang borrowed troops from Yelu Deguang, Emperor Xiaowu Huiwen of the Daliao Liao Dynasty. He regarded Emperor Xiaowu Huiwen as his father and called himself Emperor Son."

Zhang Zilu's expression changed, and he didn't speak for a while.

Tuoba Xuan said: "Mr. Zhang, in ancient times those who achieved great things have always been careless about small matters. A man can bend and stretch. Could it be that you can't even pass this test?"

Zhang Zilu's face turned green and pale for a while, and finally he seemed to have figured it out, and said with a smile: "The national teacher is right, Han Xin still has the humiliation of his crotch, and he can be a man if he can bend and stretch! As for what Zhang can do to satisfy Her Majesty, respect Please speak clearly, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Feng Jiuxiao remained calm by the side, but sighed in his heart: power can make a high-spirited young man lower his proud head, and make him let go of all his dignity in humility. Zhang Zilu's hobby now still has a little bit of a man's dignity !

The queen smiled and said, "I'm more than ten years older than you, why don't you call me mother?"

Zhang Zilu actually knelt on the ground with a plop, and threw his body to the ground, "The queen mother is on top, and my son Zhang Zilu kowtowed to the mother queen!" Everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground!Wang Sheng and Duanmuyan's heart was turned upside down!The two knew that Zhang Zilu had ambitions, but they didn't expect him to change so much and so quickly!In order to chase after power, they will use any means. In the past, everyone could only guess how far they could go. Now they finally know what it means to "use everything to the extreme"!Zhang Zilu is really humble, but the queen is different, she will really take advantage of the opportunity, she is indeed the real power core figure of the Daliao Empire!Everything he said and did was calculated, and he took in a godson in an instant!

The Queen smiled, and said flatly, "Get up and talk." Zhang Zilu got up quickly.

"After your work is completed, you will have to double the compensation for any damaged Liao soldiers. For every one lost, I want you to return ten young men and women, twenty cattle and sheep, 200 taels of gold and silver, and twenty bolts of cloth and silk." !"

Zhang Zilu blurted out: "No problem!"

Compared with the supreme throne of the Xishu Emperor, are these all farts?

Feng Jiuxiao said at this time: "You guys are really interesting, I haven't agreed to be the guarantor yet, you guys are starting to discuss things in the future?"

Zhang Zilu smiled and said: "Although the world is big, there is no one other than Mr. Feng who can be my protector for Zhang Zilu. Mr. Wanwang is perfect!"

Seeing him so humble, Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help but feel sad for him.I had no choice but to say: "Okay, you can be a guarantor, but you have to promise me one condition!"

Zhang Zilu was startled.

The conditions offered by others are nothing more than beautiful women with money. If Feng Jiuxiao raises conditions, it must be nothing but a joke!
"What condition?" Zhang Zilu raised his throat in his heart.

"You first say whether you agree or not!"

"Promise!" Zhang Zilu gritted his teeth.He believed that Feng Jiuxiao would never make some weird requests, such as asking him to harm himself, asking him to be his godson and so on.

"Okay! Remember what you said today! I'll tell you when I think about it!"
