The courtiers all praised Xu Dong loudly, without any words of praise, as if they were not the ones who carried out the large-scale impeachment of Xu Dong before.

"Hou of the East China Sea is really the pillar of the country!"

"The people of the Central Plains can solve the danger of being overturned, all thanks to the virtue of the Marquis of the East China Sea!"

In the midst of the praise, Shoufu Xia Yan said with some embarrassment: "There is one more thing that needs to be decided by Your Majesty." This time in the Great Wilderness of the Central Plains, the thief King Kou of Mount Tai took the opportunity to gather the displaced people to make trouble. Now there are 100,000 thieves, and they have captured the capital city of Dengzhou and four county towns a few days ago! Wei Chen, the prefect of Dengzhou, was killed, and dozens of officials of all sizes died......"

"What? Why not report it early! Jiajing said in surprise and anger.

"Not good! Three hundred ships of grain are all in Laizhou Mansion, Shandong! Very close to the thieves. Why didn't the bastard Hu Zanzong, the governor of Shandong, mention this matter to Ben Hou? Xu Dong also said angrily.

Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sneered and said: "I'm afraid that Hu Zanzong is afraid that after the Marquis of the East China Sea learns about this, he will directly transport the grain from the mouth of the Yellow River to Henan."

Jiajing said angrily: "The matter has come to this, Hugh said that these are useless!" Quickly send troops to help Shandong! Who leads the troops? ”

Xia Yan said: "I'm afraid there will still be Lao Donghaihou this time, first, the Dangkou Sailor has just returned triumphantly, and it will be easy to sweep Mount Tai against the thieves with the power of a great victory!" The second is that the soldiers under the command of the Marquis of the East China Sea marched quickly and had unparalleled combat power, which is known to the world. Now Shandong is in danger, and the fire is fighting! ”

Xu Dong sneered in his heart when he heard this, he was waiting for me here! But his face was silent, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Emperor Jiajing also thought deeply in his heart at this time that the situation in Shandong was critical. If 300 boatloads of relief food were to be stolen by thieves, I am afraid that this would cause the victims who had no way out to rise up in desperation. When the time comes, it may even have a great impact on the safety of the Empire!

"Marquis of the East China Sea, Taishan thieves are in rebellion, I am anxious, can you share my worries?" Jiajing asked.

Xu Dong bowed and said: "Since the emperor has an order, Xu Dong naturally has no fate. The emperor does not have to worry about Shandong, but he asks the cabinet to cooperate with all disaster relief matters. Before the arrival of the second batch of grain ships, the consumption of disaster relief grain should be carefully arranged. More disaster relief porridge factories have been set up in various prefectures and counties. If anyone dares to devour disaster relief money and food during this period, then don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless! ”

Xia Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Donghai Hou! The Cabinet will inevitably go all out for disaster relief. If someone dares to swallow up the money and food for disaster relief, if he doesn't work hard for the prince and marquis, the old man will tear him alive! ”

Xu Dong nodded, and said to Jiajing: "The situation is critical, the disciple bids farewell to the emperor." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Taihe Palace.

A day later, 50,000 East Navys landed in Laizhou. After Xu Dong became a marquis, he distinguished the sailors from the marines. The Marine Army was named the "Eastern Navy" by Xu Dong. There are now 50,000 Dangkou Naval Divisions and 60,000 Eastern Navy, totaling 110,000 troops.

The 50,000 East Navy did not stop in Laizhou, and came straight to Dengzhou without stopping. Wang Zhun, the leader of the thieves of Mount Tai, led the army out of the city for forty miles to meet the army of the East China Sea.

Xu Dong was covered in armor and rode a sweaty horse. Surrounded by 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, they are stepping up their march.

A fast horse galloped over, and an Eastern Navy scout flew off his horse and knelt down and hugged his fists and said, "Qiyu Junhou!" Wang Zhun, the leader of the thieves in Taishan, led 80,000 thieves out of the city to fight! The thieves were less than ten miles away from the front army. ”

Xu Dong Lema ordered: "The terrain here is flat, and the Taishan thief army will fight a decisive battle with our army here, and I don't know whether to live or die!" The order was given, and the whole army lined up in front and back of the butterfly formation, slowly advancing, approaching the thief army! ”

The herald officer next to him immediately raised the order flag and loudly issued the order. Orders were given swiftly and in layers. The horn sounded, and a few minutes later, the formation of the East China Sea army was stunned, and it immediately quickly changed its formation. The 50,000 horses formed a complex formation, like two butterflies playing with each other, slowly moving forward.

After a few more miles, Xu Dong immediately saw a large army coming like a dark cloud. After taking a closer look, Xu Dong smiled dumbly. Although the Taishan thief army has a large number, it has no military discipline and rules, and it is a mess. The soldiers wore a mess of variegated cloth clothes, with only a few wearing some worn cotton armor. The weapons in his hands are also varied, and he has everything. There are even people with hunting forks and farming tools in their hands.

I saw that the Taishan thief army stopped two miles away from the Eastern Navy, and a tall war horse in the army carried a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a bright yellow robe walked out, and shouted towards the Eastern Navy: "It's the new Marquis of the East China Sea who was newly sealed by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Dong raised his hand, and the Chinese army waved the flag. The army of the East China Sea slowly stopped. Xu Dong immediately took a few steps forward and responded: "Ben Hou is, who are you?" What do you have to say? ”

The big man said: "You are Xu Dong, the Marquis of the East China Sea?" Sure enough, a talent. I heard that you are also a suhao in the martial arts, and you are famous. Why bother to die for that faint king? I am the Emperor of Dalu, Wang Zhun, if you want to descend to our Dalu, against the Emperor of the Ming Dog! How about I make you a side by side king and share the world? ”

Xu Dong couldn't help laughing out loud and replied, "I don't think it's appropriate, it's better for me to kill you and become the emperor of Dalu."

Wang Zhun was shocked: "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!" If I take another step, how about half of the world? ”

Xu Dong smiled: "It's not good, I want them all."

Wang Zhun was so angry that he shouted, "You come out!" Lao Tzu beat you to death! ”

Xu Dong asked, "Are you sure you want to go head-to-head with me?"

Wang Zhun said angrily: "Lao Tzu is invincible all over Shandong!" I'm afraid you can't do it! As he spoke, he stepped forward to do something.

A blue-faced strong man wearing black chain mail immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhun's horse head and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Dong has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are definitely not weak!" Let's let the last general fight. ”

Wang Zhun rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, it's hard for General Han!"

The blue-faced man immediately stepped forward and shouted: "I am Han Hu, the former general of Dalu!" Can the Marquis of the East China Sea dare to fight? ”

Before Xu Dong could reply, a horse behind him suddenly rushed out, and a warlord on horseback rushed towards Han Hu brandishing a big knife, shouting: "You tuberculosis ghost!" Is it also worthy of fighting with my prince? Your grandfather Su Xi is here to send you back to heaven! ”

Su Xi rushed forward, and the long-handled big knife in his hand slashed towards Han Hu's head! Han Hu shouted, lifted a sixty-pound three-pointed two-edged gun in his hand and pulled it out to Su Xi, and with a loud "bang", the two horses intersected. Su Xi's complexion changed drastically, his hands holding the knife trembled slightly, and a trace of blood flowed down the knife shaft from his hand. Obviously, Su Xi lost the battle and was shocked to open the tiger's mouth.

"Good thief! Grandpa slaughtered you! Su Xi was ashamed and angry, and brandished a big knife and attacked Han Hu more than once. But he didn't dare to fight with Han Hu anymore, and tried his best to avoid Han Hu's three-pointed knife attack.

In contrast, Han Hu was very relaxed, and with one swing of the knife, he could force Su Xi to dodge in embarrassment, and one knife followed by another knife made Su Xi jump like thunder but was helpless.

Seeing that Su Xi's left and right sides were about to be overwhelmed, the dragon Xiaoman on the side of Xu Dong rushed forward on a black horse! The long-handled phoenix beak knife in his hand brought up a flame and slashed directly at Han Hu's chest!

Han Hu was about to step up his efforts to slash Su Xi off his horse, but he felt a hot wind pressure coming straight at him. The frightened Han Hu didn't even have time to turn back, and swung out with a backhand! The three-pointed knife and the phoenix mouth knife struck each other, making a crisp sound! Xiaoman and Han Hu both took two steps back. Su Xi hurriedly rode his horse and fled back to his own position.

"The last general has embarrassed the prince......" Su Xi ran in front of Xu Dong and bowed his head and said with a look of shame.

Xu Dong glanced at Su Xi and said, "Useless things!" Turned his head and continued to watch the fight between Xiaoman and Han Hu.

In front of the two armies, Xiaoman and Han Hu fought together, and they fought evenly! This surprised Xu Dong. You must know that Xiaoman was born in the Tianwang Gang, and this Tianwang Gang was originally famous for its battlefield skills. This front fighting general should be Xiaoman's strength, and it can give full play to Xiaoman's strength more than the weapon fighting in the martial arts. Moreover, after Xiaoman practiced the peerless "Phoenix Dance Nine Days", his strength has increased greatly, and now he has reached the peak of first-class. At this time, he couldn't attack Han Hu for a long time, which shows that this Han Hu's strength is extraordinary!

Xiao Man saw that he had been attacking for a long time but couldn't take Han Hu, and he was a little irritable in his heart, and his little face turned red. With a clear sound, he actually flew up from the horse, jumped seven or eight meters, and accelerated in mid-air to slash at Han Hu!

"Qi Feng Falling Flame Knife!" The phoenix mouth knife brought up a flame and slashed down angrily, and the raging flames brought gusts of wind! As soon as Han Hu saw that Xiaoman was starting to work hard, he didn't dare to slack off, and he also yelled. The three-pointed knife in his hand emitted a golden light, and he stabbed it from the bottom to the top!

With a "bang", the attack of the two shook up a cloud of smoke and dust, and the fire was raging in the smoke. Xiao Man somersaulted in mid-air for several consecutive somersaults, and when he landed, he stumbled back several steps. There was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Han Hu's situation was even worse, because Xiao Man's Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens had a strong flame attack. The flames that ignited when the two men exchanged each other covered an area of several meters around them. Han Hu and the blue-maned horses under the seat were all ignited by the flames! The blue-maned horse screamed miserably and threw Han Hu off his horse, burning all over his body, and ran wildly in front of the formation. And Han Hu's body also burned, burning all his beard and eyebrows. Han Hu rolled on the spot a few times, raising dust on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

Just as Han Hu was slapping the unextinguished flame on his body, Xiao Man jumped up and slashed down from top to bottom! Han Hu couldn't dodge, so he had to raise the three-pointed knife and parry the knife horizontally. Unexpectedly, Xiaoman's knife slashed with all his strength, and the blade of Han Hu's three-pointed knife was cut off with one knife, and the knife momentum was unabated!

Han Hu secretly screamed: "My life is over!" Close your eyes and wait for death.

But I saw a strong finger force shooting, and with a "bang", the big knife cut by Xiao Man was shot crooked, and the blade grazed the shoulder pad of Han Hu's armor, cutting off a piece of iron on the shoulder guard of the tiger's head!

Xiao Man looked back and saw that the finger power was issued by Xu Dong. Xu Dongzheng waved his hand and shouted, "Madame! Keep people under the knife! ”

Xiao Man chuckled, grabbed Han Hu's armor belt, turned over her black horse and ran back to the Eastern Naval Formation. Throwing Han Hu down, several soldiers immediately tied Han Hu with a cow tendon rope.

There was a panic in the Taishan thief army, and Wang Zhun drew his sword and shouted: "Kill it!" Save General Han! ”

Eighty thousand Taishan thieves shouted to kill the formation of the Eastern Navy, densely packed like a tsunami rushing towards the mountains!
