Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu waved his hand to everyone and said, "Don't say it, after I come back, I will explain to my eldest brother that even if I want to be punished, I will bear it!" As he spoke, he nodded to Ma Wu and Choshi.

Ma Wu and Choshi didn't say a word, they both walked out of the big tent and went outside to select a thousand elites.

The cavalry army has a total of 2,000 horses, and according to Liu Xiu's plan, 1,000 people will be taken away, but the 2,000 war horses cannot be left behind, and they must all be taken away.

After Ma Wu and Choshi were ready, Liu Xiu said to Deng Yu, Feng Yi, Gai Yan and the others: "Zhonghua, you stay in Huyang and assist my eldest brother!" ”

"Lord!" Deng Yu, Feng Yi, and Gai Yan were all in a hurry, how could they not participate in such an important and dangerous action?

It was precisely because it was too dangerous that Liu Xiu couldn't bring all the people with him, at least he had to leave a few powerful helpers for his eldest brother.

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "You all stay, I have made up my mind!" As he spoke, he said meaningfully to Deng Yu: "During my absence, Zhonghua will do his best to assist my eldest brother, please!" ”

In the Zhutiandu Department, there are not many people who are good at strategy, and Deng Yu can be regarded as the best among them.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Deng Yu's heart was sour, he bowed to Liu Xiu deeply, and said: "Lord, my subordinates are waiting for you to return triumphantly in Xinye!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at Deng Yu, patted him on the shoulder again, turned around and walked out. Jiu'er and Xu Xiling both followed, and said in unison: "Lord, I'll go with you!" ”

"You two stay!" Liu Xiu looked at Jiu'er and said, "Big brother, I need you to provide information, and I also need to keep abreast of the movements of the county army, Jiu'er, you have to stay!" ”

Jiu'er was about to speak, but seeing Liu Xiu's resolute eyes, she swallowed her saliva and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth. Xu Xiling asked, "Lord, what about me?" ”

"You?" Liu Xiu didn't think about Xu Xiling at all, she is a delicate and tender lady, where can she do a long-distance attack, how can she charge on the battlefield?

Xu Xiling asked this, but Liu Xiudu was stunned, he hesitated for a moment, Fang Oh, and said seriously: "Xiling, tomorrow you can leave with my sister-in-law, second sister, and little sister!" ”

The implication is that she is included in his own female dependents.

Xu Xiling was almost happy, she was not a daughter who couldn't lift her hands and couldn't resist her shoulders, but a person in the rivers and lakes who had been learning art with her teacher since she was a child. She didn't argue with Liu Xiu, she just agreed obediently and didn't say anything more.

Liu Xiu walked out of the big tent, without a moment's delay, got on his horse, and took Ma Wu, Cho Qi, Zhu You, Fu Jun and a thousand cavalry soldiers, and went straight to the north city gate.

The military camp was originally located in the North City, very close to the North City Gate. When they arrived at the north gate, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately met them and blocked their way.

Seeing so many cavalry about to go out of the city, and people were still sitting on a war horse and leading an empty horse, their faces were full of inexplicability.

A soldier took two steps forward and asked, "The brethren of the cavalry are going out of the city, but do you have a letter from the general?" ”

"Without the general's edict, can't you get out of the city?" Liu Xiuyi urged the black horse under his crotch and came to the front of the soldier, with an expressionless face and looked at him condescendingly.

The head of the soldier naturally knew Liu Xiu, and when he saw him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and intervened and said, "The villain greets the general!" ”

"Get out of the way! We have urgent military affairs on our side, and we must leave the city immediately! ”

"But ......" The head of the soldier still wanted to give an order, Liu Xiu deliberately raised his hand, held the Chixiao Sword under his ribs, and asked, "Do you dare to disobey the order?" ”

The head of the soldier was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and while retreating to the side, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him again and again, and said, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Let's go! Make way for the partial generals! ”

The soldiers guarding the gates moved away and retreated to both sides. Liu Xiu knocked his feet on the horse's belly, urging the horse to run out of the city gate, followed by Ma Wu, Choshi and others, and a large group of cavalry rumbled out of Huyang City.

When they got outside, they had just walked a short distance and caught up with them behind them. Liu Xiu and the others looked back, and it was Xu Xiling and the four personal maids around her who caught up.

Seeing that it was them, Liu Xiu's brows tightened, and when Xu Xiling rode a horse to his approach, he asked unhappily: "Xiling, didn't I let you stay in Huyang?" ”

Xu Xiling Zhengse said: "Xiling is a subordinate of the lord, and the lord is on the march, how can Xiling stay at home?" ”

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! You are a girl's house, what are you running blindly with us, hurry back! ”

"Even if the lord kidnaps me now and waits for me to go back, I will sneak out again!"

Seeing that Liu Xiu was so angry that he glared at himself, Xu Xiling said slowly: "The military situation is urgent, instead of wasting time on Xiling, the lord should hurry up!" ”

Liu Xiu was so choked by Xu Xiling's words that he almost rolled his eyes, he raised his finger and pointed at Xu Xiling, and said, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" As he spoke, he shouted to the left and right, "Go!" ”

After leaving Huyang City, more than 1,000 horsemen led by Liu Xiu rushed all the way to the northwest and went straight to Shuyang.

In the team, Xu Xiling quickly played a role.

In the past, she often walked the rivers and lakes with her master, and she was very familiar with the terrain of the entire Nanyang County.

They ran all the way, and by the time it was dark, they had successfully crossed the water.

They were able to cross the water so quickly, thanks to Xu Xiling's guidance, Xu Xiling found a place for them to talk to, they crossed the water on horseback. Seeing that the sky was dark, Liu Xiu ordered the whole army to stop and rest for the time being. Liu Xiu sat on a stone, quickly ate a piece of dry food, two pieces of bacon, drank half a pot of water, felt that his strength had recovered a little, and then walked to Xu Xiling

side, looked at the five of them, and asked, "How are you?" Can you still hold on? ”

The four maids of Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju shook their heads together, and said in unison: "Master, slaves and maids are not tired!" ”

Xu Xiling had already taken off the face towel at this time, her little face was flushed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her head and nose.

Although she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, it is impossible for her not to be tired after running so far in one go. She smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "Thank you for your concern, Xiling will rest for a while." ”

Liu Xiu sat down beside her, and said quietly: "In the second half of the night, we will replace the horses, and then a group of brothers will return to Huyang with the replaced horses, you can go back with them!" ”

Xu Xiling frowned slightly, and said: "If the lord can't trust Xiling like this, the lord shouldn't have recruited Xiling into his command in the first place!" Now that Xiling has been recruited into his command, the lord should treat everyone equally! Liu Xiu looked at the stubborn Xu Xiling, and then at the four maids who were also stubborn with her, shook her head helplessly, stood up, and walked towards the grass not far away. As soon as Liu Xiu left with his front foot, Ma Wu came over with a curious look on his face and whispered

asked, "Sister, what did the lord tell you just now?" ”

Xu Xiling smiled and said, "Brother Ma, the lord wants me to go back to Huyang!" ”

Ma Wu nodded and agreed: "Fighting is originally a man's business, you shouldn't follow!" ”

Xu Xiling pursed his lips and said, "I don't think we are inferior to men!" ”

Ma Wu was amused by her and said, "The lord is also for your good!" ”

Xu Xiling said: "I know, but I think I can help by staying in the army!" ”

Ma Wu looked at Xu Xiling, his face showed a little appreciation, on weekdays, he couldn't look down on the girl's family, but Xu Xiling impressed him.

He turned his head to look to the side, and saw that Liu Xiu was pulling weeds, he walked over, came to Liu Xiu's side, and followed him to pull weeds, and said at the same time: "Lord, at this speed, we can arrive at the east bank of Shuyang at noon tomorrow." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and casually put a grass stalk in his mouth. Ma Wu asked, "My lord, you said that by tomorrow noon, how many troops can the county army cross the river and reach the east bank?" ”

"Maybe more than a thousand, maybe two or three thousand!" It's really hard to judge.

The county army has always carried a lot of materials when they go out on the expedition, and it is impossible for all the county troops to cross the water and leave the materials in Huaiyang.

It is necessary to first cross a group of troops, and then transport them together with men and supplies, so that the speed of transporting troops to the other side will be greatly slowed down.

According to Liu Xiu's judgment, the current strength of the county army on the other side of the river should only be about 1,000 people, and it is difficult to say how many people will be by noon tomorrow.

After pulling out a handful of grass, Liu Xiu walked up to Wu Qi and handed the grass to the horse's mouth. He fed the grass with one hand and caressed the neck of the black horse with the other, and said meaningfully: "Tomorrow's battle, if it can be successful, the main force of the county army can be blocked on the west bank of the river, and our department will have enough time to take Xinye, if it can't be successful, let the county army."

The main force successfully crossed the water, and our department was in danger. ”

Ma Wu nodded and said categorically: "Tomorrow's battle is a battle to the death!" Either you succeed or you become a benevolent! ”

Liu Xiu smiled at Ma Wu, and when he finished feeding the grass in his hand, Liu Xiu slapped his face and said loudly to the people around him: "Everyone is almost rested!" Get on the horse, let's keep hurrying! ”

The group of them drove a whole night of travel, and when the sky grew brighter the next day, the team was already sleepy and tired, and both people and horses had reached the limit of their physical strength.

Liu Xiu ordered the whole army to change horses, and by the way, take a temporary rest. Under Liu Xiu's orders, people changed horses one after another.

They already had only about 1,000 people, and now they had to send a hundred people back to Huyang with a thousand horses, so that the rest of them were not even 1,000, only about 900.

After resting for two quarters of an hour, Liu Xiu and the others got on their horses again and continued to rush to the east bank of Shuyang.

When it was about to catch the east bank of Shuyang, Liu Xiu and the others ran to a hidden place, dismounted and rested, and in addition, he sent Fu Jun with a few clever cavalrymen to the front to investigate.

Half an hour later, Fu Jun returned with several cavalry. Seeing Liu Xiu, Fu Jun squatted down and explained to Liu Xiu while paddling on the ground with a stone.

On the other side of the river, there is a large open space, and on the outside of the clearing, there are lush forests.

The county army set up sentry posts in the forest, but the number was small, and Fu Jun and the others successfully avoided those sentry posts without much effort.

At present, the number of troops of the county army that has crossed the river is quite large, and it is estimated that there are no less than 2,000 people in the camp tents set up by the river.

Looking at the flags in the camp, it can be judged that among the two thousand people, some of them should be soldiers from Shuyang County. As for the river surface of the river, large and small ships are constantly coming and going, constantly transporting supplies and troops from Shuyang to the east bank.

This is what Fu Jun and the others saw. After hearing this, Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Ziwei, do you have a way to get rid of all the county army posts in the forest?" ”
