When Xu Da heard this, his face changed greatly. said emotionally to Chu Liuyan: "Although Qing is a daughter, even a man can't match her heroic spirit. How could Xu Da be so helpful. ”

Chu Liuyan was silent when he heard this, and at this time, there was a neighing sound of horses outside the pavilion, and the two looked up and saw that the two horses were grinding with their necks crossed, raising their hooves and neighing.

Perhaps it was because he saw that the owner was very friendly, so the black and white horses were not timid, the black horse's coat was pure and shiny, the muscles and bones were strong, and occasionally bent down the neck to chew leisurely.

The white horse is tall and straight, his lips are as red and tender as rouge, and a faint vein of smoke and blue appears at the junction of the mane and neck, and the silver long mane is like a waterfall.

The two horses, one black and one white, were very close to each other, rubbing their necks and ears from time to time, and fell leisurely in the long grass that was chest-high.

Xu Da saw the situation of the two horses, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The horses are so good, I sometimes envy the horses for not having so many etiquette constraints." I really hope that one day I can call you a smoke, and you can call me a Tiande. ”

Xu Da's joke made Chu Liuyan blush, and he was embarrassed to fiddle with the corners of his clothes.

Chu Liuyan suddenly whimpered, tears burst out of his eyes, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, his long wet eyelashes trembled, and his moist and crystal black eyes were still faintly tearful.

Chu Liuyan suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Xu Da's arm, rolled down tears again, and hurriedly turned his face and smiled: "Brother Xu, don't laugh, it's not the little sister who helps Brother Xu, it's really Brother Xu's kindness to me that is really difficult to repay in this life and this life." ”

Xu Da couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Smoke girl, Xu Da has lost his words, you and I must be brothers and sisters, I shouldn't say that." It's just that I really felt something in my heart just now, and I couldn't help but say the words of this abrupt girl. If it weren't for the secret release of me in Hanyang City, how could I have my life now, so the Flowing Smoke girl is also a grace for me to live. Since the smoke girl recognizes me as a brother, I will look at you as my sister in this life and this life. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled and said: "Brother Xu, let's not talk about these things, it's not early today, you have a heavy responsibility, Chu Liuyan doesn't care if you stay here to talk more, please Brother Xu drink a glass of candied wine." ”

Saying that, Chu Liuyan ran back to the pavilion, and after a while, he took out a glass of wine, and said to Xu Da: "After drinking this glass of wine, I hope that Brother Xu will go to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiao Ming this time and return safely." ”

Xu Da took the wine glass from Chu Liuyan's hand, raised his head and dried it up, and then said to Chu Liuyan: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet." Smoke girl, please go back. ”

Chu Liuyan knew that Xu Da did not want to add more sadness when parting, although he said this, he was not far away, so he reached out and took the empty wine glass in Xu Da's hand, and then returned to the pavilion.

After returning to the pavilion, he only heard the neighing of a horse behind him, Chu Liuyan looked back, and saw that Xu Da had already untied the reins tied to the tree, and the horse galloped away, Chu Liuyan looked at Xu Da's galloping figure, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Tiande, you want to come back safely." Chu Liuyan recited silently in his heart.

Xu Da took a group of entourage, stayed overnight, traveled for a day and a night, and was about to reach the boundary of Chuzhou.

Suddenly, there was a lot of dust and smoke in front of him, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were rushing in.

Xu Da's entourage was very frightened, and couldn't help but comment: "Looking at the situation, there seems to be a large army ahead. ”

"Could it be the soldiers and horses of the Han King Chen Youliang."

"Depending on the situation, the force is not weak, and it is very likely to be under the command of King Han."

Xu Da shouted: "Don't disturb yourself, even if there are military horses in front, it can't be Chen Youliang's Han army, the Han army didn't cross the river at all, how could it be here." ”

When everyone heard Xu Da say this, they also felt that it made sense, so they settled down, followed behind Xu Da, and walked slowly.

After walking for a while, I saw that the banner in the army in front of me was the banner under the account of King Xiao Ming, and everyone knew that the army on the opposite side was under the command of King Xiao Ming, but they didn't know where the laborers were going.

A general saw Xu Da and the others from a distance, so he ordered his subordinates to gallop over and surround Xu Da and the others.

When Xu Da saw this, he ordered someone to hold his feet and ignore it.

The people were ordered to do so, and soon the two sides were in a circle.

Lai ran to the front of the battle with a sharp corner of his clothes and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, why did you come to Chuzhou." ”

Xu Da patted his horse and said to the general: "I am on the order of Wu Guogong to come to Chuzhou to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian." ”

Lai Jiang was furious when he heard this: "His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming said that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to rebel, you are Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang connived at his subordinates to kill many of our soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, I want to settle this account with you first, and wait until I wave my troops to Yingtian, and then calculate it with Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

didn't say anything, and rushed over to Xu Da, Xu Da knew that this person must be taking revenge for personal gain, and communiqué personal vendetta. So I had to pick up a gun to catch up.

The two of them fought for seventy or eighty rendezvous in front of the battle, and they were still evenly matched, and they were already out of breath, and when they let go of Xu Da, they still looked calm and relaxed.

Come and know that if you continue to fight, you are not Xu Da's opponent at all, so you jumped out of the circle by taking advantage of the gap.

Xu Da didn't chase after him.

At this time, suddenly there was a thunderous cheer in the army, and I saw a horse suddenly flying out, with a golden helmet and golden armor, and a sword under the banner of the horse, shouting: "Surrender early, so as not to pollute my sword and axe!" ”

Xu Da knew that this person must be a strong enemy, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately reined in his horse and shouted: "I, Xu Tiande, followed Wu Guogong to be invincible and invincible, and I also charged into battle to save His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming." Who are you, an unknown general, who dare to resist my military might? ”

After finishing speaking, he threw his gun and shot straight at the opponent.

Not to be outdone, the general shouted: "The thief is rude, look at the knife!" ”

Immediately waved the knife, to the mighty momentum, knocked Xu Da's gun aside, and slashed obliquely with a knife, Xu Da unexpectedly came to the strength of the extraordinary, quickly swung his head, dodged the knife path, and then stabbed the gun to the opponent's right flank, but the general flashed his body to the left, turned the horse back, and Xu Da immediately chased after him with a gun.

The general turned the horse's head, danced to meet the battle, and then Xu Da fought in one place.

The two fought hundreds of rendezvous in one go, but they never could tell the winner. This so-called "chess opponent will meet good talent." The soldiers on both sides saw the wonderful things and applauded.

The more Xu Da fought, the more frightened he became, he didn't want King Xiao Ming to have such a heroic and brave general under his command.

The more he admires Xu Da, the more he admires it, and he can't help but feel pity in his heart.

Therefore, the two are still fighting viciously, but it is no longer a deadly fighting style, but a fighting with each other's martial arts.

At this time, the soldiers of the two armies were so stupid that they even forgot to cheer.

Suddenly, a distant horse galloped over and entered the camp.

Then Mingjin in the other party's camp tent collected his troops, and the general retreated.

Immediately, a white-clothed envoy came out of the battle and hugged his fist at Xu Da and said, "General Xu Da, King Xiao Ming has already received an official letter from Wu Guogong and sent me to meet General Xu Da." This misunderstanding between the generals in the army and General Xu Da, please don't take General Xu to heart. ”

Xu Da clenched his fists and smiled: "Those who don't know don't blame, Xu Da is not an unreasonable person, and he won't blame others for this." ”

The envoy was overjoyed when he heard this: "Since this is the case, please ask General Xu to accompany me to meet His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming." ”

"Okay, please allow me to arrange my attendants, and then I will go with you to meet King Xiao Ming." Xu Da knew that there must be something wrong with the dispatch of the Chuzhou army, but now was not the time to ask about the comer, so he did not continue to ask about it.

Xu Da ordered the attendants to gather the array, what is a pair, and then followed the white-clothed messenger through the brigade of Chuzhou soldiers and horses, and marched towards Chuzhou City.

Xu Da knew that the white-clothed envoy might know something, so he accepted it wholeheartedly, deliberately gratified, and finally learned something from the mouth of the white-clothed envoy who was flattered and carried away.

It turned out that Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, only discussed with Lord Wang and others for a while after the last time General Han Bi sent troops back from Yingtian to report the situation, and almost took the opportunity to deliberately create an incident in Yingtian's new army, and coerced Zhu Yuanzhang to hand over the military power by creating a false pretext that the orders in the army were inconsistent and easy to cause trouble.

After the plan was decided, King Xiao Ming sent someone to deliver a letter to General Han Bi, instructing him to instigate the Chuzhou soldiers in the new army, stirring up a mutiny, and creating a pretext for Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, to enter the throne of Yingtian.

Han Lin'er acted as ordered, and originally wanted to instigate the Chuzhou soldiers under Chang Yuchun to kill a general and take the opportunity to cause trouble. I didn't expect to be ruined by Chu Liuyan and Xu Da halfway, so General Han had to secretly connect some Chuzhou soldiers and generals who were dissatisfied with the generals of Yingtian, and deliberately asked for revenge for the Chuzhou soldiers who died in the fight, who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan joined forces and quietly resolved it, but King Xiaoming, who was far away in Chuzhou, was very attentive and couldn't wait, so he took this opportunity to wantonly exaggerate the situation in the army, and issued an official document to severely question Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and proposed in the document to come to Yingtian to supervise the war.

"May I ask my lord, where is the army I met on the road just now going to go, could it be that they are also going to Yingtian."

"General Xu Da has good eyesight, this is the army sent by my lord King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming said that as long as the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou and Yingtian will rise, there is no need to be afraid of the attack of Chen Youliang, the king of Han."

"His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming is really wise, the two armies will rise, and the strength will increase greatly, I believe that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, will not dare to underestimate Yingtian, maybe he will not come to attack Yingtian." Xu Da echoed.

The envoy said very happily: "General Xu Da really has a lofty vision, and His Royal Highness King Xiaoming has also seen this, and this time he sent all the soldiers and horses from Chuzhou to Yingtian." ”

When Xu Da heard this, he only felt sad and happy in his heart, sad that King Xiao Ming sent so many troops over, such as the corresponding day is only in the must, I don't know if Wu Guogong and the generals in the army can deal with so many Chuzhou soldiers and horses, the good thing is that since King Xiao Ming has already transferred heavy troops to Yingtian, then the probability of success this time is bound to be much higher, at least the personnel who guard Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er will be a lot less, and it will be much easier to move.

While speaking, the group came to the city of Chuzhou, which was covered with a dense water network for a radius of 100 miles.

Xu Da intentionally or unintentionally asked the white-clothed envoy and said: "This scenery is excellent, and the delicacy of the water surface is very pleasing, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming likes to travel by car, or by horse or boat." ”

The white-clothed envoy might as well have him, so he opened his mouth and said to Xu Da: "General Xu guessed well, there has been nothing in Chuzhou for many years, so King Xiao Ming has always liked to secretly go out of the palace to find Fang to explore the secluded, but when he travels, he does not like to take a car, and he is not tolerant of horseback riding, so he can only take a boat, but although there is a big boat in the palace, but out of Chuzhou, the river narrows, and the big boat in the palace is impassable. ”
