Soon, a soldier from Xu's army came to report: "General...... There is a large army coming from the southwest, and looking at its military flag, it is the defenders of Xuanzhou!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengye clenched the sword in his hand that had not yet had time to be unsheathed.

This news was not enough to surprise him, because he had already learned the news of the Xuanzhou military movement in advance......

Because of this, he personally led the army to come just in case.

But before this moment, there was still a uncertainty in his heart, because he really couldn't think of the reason why Xuanzhou would send troops to rescue Hezhou......

At this moment, he still had a puzzle in his heart - why did Xuanzhou want to make this trip to the muddy waters?! This is not the style of the eldest princess of Xuan'an at all!

And no matter what he thinks, the facts are already in front of him.

The Xuanzhou army soon approached.

And what shocked Xu Zhengye even more was the person who led the army.

The army came from the southwest side, converging in the direction of the Hezhou army, and the leader appeared in everyone's sight, in addition to the two generals, there was also a female figure.

The woman who came on the horse was wearing a cloak and a cloak, and at this moment she raised her hand to take off the hood of the cloak, and in the light of the torches, a graceful and stretched face appeared.

Xu Zhengye's face changed slightly: "...... The eldest princess?"

The eldest princess of Xuan'an actually came in person!

This eldest princess has not been out of Xuanzhou for many years, and today she actually led her troops in armor and personally rushed to the aid of Hezhou!

Xu Zhengye felt that this almost made sense, or rather...... Is there something hidden in him that he doesn't know?

He frowned tightly.

The eldest princess of Xuan'an looked at him: "General Xu, it's been a long time."

Looking at that face and listening to this voice, Chang Kuo was no less shocked than Xu Zhengye, and he was even startled - why did she come!

Seeing the sudden appearance of reinforcements, Vice General Jin was excited, and subconsciously went to see the reaction of his own general, but saw Chang Kuo twisting his eyebrows and glaring, and his expression was very indescribable.

After careful tasting, Vice Admiral Jin only felt that the general reacted at this time, just like his mood when he saw a guest come to the door, and he didn't want to cook and entertain - too polite, just when the thing arrives, who else is there.

That Xu Zhengye was trying to be as quiet as possible: "I don't know if the eldest princess of Xuan'an led the army here in person, what advice do you have?"

But when the long history first arrived in Xuanzhou, he was returned by the eldest princess of Xuan'an, and his words - the new long history is very ugly, and it is difficult to swallow when he sees it, and he also has the heart of running-in, but he vomits three times a day, and he is worried about his life, and he can't stay.

That Changshi suffered this great humiliation, and after returning to Beijing, he hanged himself to die, but he actually came from office and returned by hanging.

All in all, although the eldest princess never asks about the court, she will never allow others to touch her bottom line.

After that, the empress ascended the throne, and she had no objections, and for many years she and the empress adhered to the consensus that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they were at peace with each other.

The bureaucrats of the Empress Zong are jealous of her, but in addition to raising some male pets, they can't find any other faults, nor do they show any traces of ambition.

At the beginning of Xu Zhengye's incident, he also thought about attracting the eldest princess to join the gang, and he asked Luo Guanlin to write a letter, moving it with affection and reasoning, and sprinkled sincerity and sincerity, so that people could send it to Xuanzhou.

But the other party did not look at the messenger in front of him, so he lit the letter on the fire and threw it down in front of the messenger.

Then he sent the male pet on his side and blasted the messenger out.

At that time, when Luo Guanlin heard about this, he was very angry, and he felt that he had made a mistake overnight - even if the other party opened it and took a look! Even if he opened it and looked at it, he didn't believe that the other party would not be moved!

Therefore, the eldest princess of Xuan'an rejected Xu Zhengye first.

But in Xu Zhengye's view, refusal does not mean that the other party will be his enemy - although the eldest princess of Xuan'an is unwilling to work with him, she is not subject to the orders of the court and the empress.

Since it was not for the court to crusade against him, then why did he come here today?

What does it mean to "stretch out your hand to Hezhou, have you ever asked her opinion", and Hezhou does not belong to her Jiangnan West Road!

The eldest princess of Xuan'an's tone was majestic and cold: "Hezhou is adjacent to my Xuanzhou, only hundreds of miles apart, you dare to kill people and plunder the city in front of my Xuanzhou gate today, do you know that you will not violate my Xuanzhou realm in the future?"

She scolded angrily: "General Xu, you must know that it depends on the neighbors to beat the dog!"

Xu Zhengye: "......"

Beat the dog to see the owner heard a lot, and it is the first time to see the neighbors have heard of it!

Yunhui: "......"

Well, as long as you're willing to help, the dog is a dog.

"Xu has always respected the eldest princess, and the Li family is even more loyal to Dasheng, and the sun and the moon can be seen, how can he offend Xuanzhou?" He said with a straight face: "If you want to take Hezhou today, you are also forced by the helpless situation."

Speaking of this, he looked at the Hezhou army, and even felt a little sad: "If Hezhou is willing to open up the way of righteousness and allow Xu to lead the army into Beijing to help His Royal Highness the Prince, how can Xu be willing to hurt the innocent?"

The eldest princess of Xuan'an didn't buy it at all, and sneered: "You can deceive the world with these words, don't move them in front of the palace."

"I don't care what your calculations are, I just know that since you started the incident, there have been countless displaced people who have entered my Xuanzhou realm, and the entire Jiangnan has not been peaceful!"

The anger in her eyes was fierce, and the coercion was even more intense: "Besides, my Xuanzhou has always been based on business, because of your wanton chaos, the trade routes leading from Xuanzhou to various places are almost paralyzed, and the various businesses that are separated in the south of the Yangtze River have also been forcibly requisitioned and plundered by your army, so far, do you dare to say that you have never dared to offend Xuanzhou?"

was scolded by the cracker, Xu Zhengye's face turned pale, and he could only say: "There may be something wrong with the subordinates, I hope the eldest princess will forgive me, and Xu will be strictly ......restrained in the future."

The eldest princess of Xuan'an was angry: "If you pass a city, you will cut off the livelihood of a city, and the state is adjacent to my Xuanzhou, over the years, the paper and ink made in Xuanzhou, one-tenth of them will be sold to the Hezhou area, and now the paper and ink in Xuanzhou City are piled up, can you buy them all or eat them?"

"It's time to eat it, Ben has a belly of black water anyway! I should feed on ink!"

A girl's voice sounded, and Chang Sui Ning heard the sound and saw that it was Li Tong driving his horse from behind.

Li Tong's gaze quickly found Chang Suining, and hurriedly leaned over.

The eldest princess of Xuan'an had already thrown down the last sentence loudly: "You have thought about Huainan Dao, if you have this ability, I will follow you

Li Yi's subordinates fought over, or swam over from Chaohu Lake, in short, if you want to move Hezhou, I will never agree! If you want to fight, then just try it!"

Xu Zhengye's face sank.

It seems that the eldest princess of Xuan'an is determined to protect the state......

What kind of business route and financial route, even if it is a fact, but in such a current situation, it is too overbearing to talk to him about this!

Soon, a scout turned back, and the adjutant general whispered the news to him: "General, the scouts have already investigated clearly, and the eldest princess of Xuan'an only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses......

According to the meaning of the deputy general, the opponent only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and this battle is not impossible to fight!

But Xu Zhengye can't think so simple.

30,000 soldiers and horses, for Xuanzhou has always been where the garrison quota is, and no matter how much it is, there is a suspicion of hoarding troops privately......

But I'm afraid this is only the surface, she has been operating in Xuanzhou for many years, how can it be as simple as it seems on the surface?

Besides, if he tears his face with him today, it will be equivalent to offending the entire Jiangnan West Dao, in case a group of people attack him, how will he deal with it?

Moreover, the banner that the other party is waving today is not to crusade against him on behalf of the imperial court, but to come for Xuanzhou's private interests, not to hinder his great cause.

At that time, some people will question his loyalty to the Li clan and his true intentions in the uprising, and he will not be able to explain it to the scribes and gentry bureaucrats who sincerely supported the Li clan......

He couldn't fight this battle at all!

The slightest mistake can lead to a failure in previous efforts.

In the face of the arrogant rhetoric of the eldest princess of Xuan'an, the deputy general on the side could not bear it anymore, and clenched his fists and asked: "General, ......!"

This *** relies on the surname Li, and has a little power in his hands, but he is so rampant, it is really too deceitful!

During the confrontation between the two sides, Xu Zhengye was full of unwillingness and grievance under strong pressure, and raised his hand towards the eldest princess of Xuan'an: "Today, the lower officials are willing to retreat to Jiangning for the eldest princess and Xuanzhou!" I also hope that the eldest princess can record today's events, which can understand Xu's allegiance to the Li family!"

The eldest princess of Xuan'an raised her chin slightly, noncommittal: "General Xu will not send it off slowly."

Xu Zhengye said patiently: "Withdraw from the army!"

Even if his subordinates were dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute it, so they could only do it.

When Xu Zhengye turned the horse's head, his face sank like water, and his eyes were gloomy.

Today, he is worried about the overall situation and takes a step back for the time being...... In the future, when he achieves a great cause, he must first tear open the fat of Xuanzhou!

The Xu army retreated like water.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to come again!" Li Tong turned back to the group of Hezhou soldiers.

The soldiers seemed to come back to their senses at this point, and at last some people cheered loudly.

Chang Kuo ordered to lead the army back to the city.

Behind the army, the gates were wide open.

The soldiers who had recovered the aftermath sought out familiar companions from the snowdrifts and mountains of corpses, and brought them back with tears in their eyes.

The snow was too heavy tonight for the comrades who had died in battle to find their way home.

The lights in the city are bright, waiting for the soldiers to triumph, and the lights of a hundred schools exude a little warm color in the snow, there is the joy of retreating from the enemy, the joy of having the homeland preserved, and the indescribable pathos.

Chang Sui Ning immediately looked back and looked at the distant battlefield behind him, just like after countless battles before.

It is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to repair the damaged city and people's hearts after the war.

Hezhou City is both unfortunate and lucky, unfortunately it was caught up in this unwarranted disaster that arose from the ambition of others, and fortunately, it still has a chance to recuperate and rebuild.

When Chang Suining was looking at the battlefield behind her, Chang Kuo was also looking at her.

Chang Kuo's eyes were sour, and a crisp and curious voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "You are General Chang Da!"

Chang Kuo looked over, pondered and asked, "Are you ......?"

The girl who was wrapped in a fox fur immediately had a bright eye: "My name is Li Tong!"

Chang Kuo let out an "oh" and suddenly said, "It's you, you've grown so big!"

The little girl looked strange and pleasing to the eye.

Probably because it's not like her mother.

Li Tong stared at him, "Have you seen me?"

Chang Kuo looked ahead, as if thinking, "It seems to be, maybe I've seen it somewhere...... I can't remember!"

Li Tong grinned: "I know you, I often hear my mother mention you!"

Chang Kuo almost imperceptibly raised his thick eyebrows: "Yes......

Tell me about it?

Li Tong was about to continue, but he heard his mother's displeased voice on the side: "Li Tong, come here!"

Li Tong answered, and drove to the eldest princess of Xuan'an.

Chang Kuo: "......!"

How did you mention him, but after talking about it, he will leave!

He squinted at the eldest princess of Xuan'an.

Chang Sui Ning also drove his horse to follow Li Tong to the eldest princess and thanked the eldest princess.

At the beginning, she wrote the letter to the eldest princess, Xuanzhou and Hezhou are close to each other, and the time is in time, and the identity of the eldest princess of Xuan'an has natural suppression for Xu Zhengye, so she is the best candidate.

So she chose to borrow troops from the other side.

As soon as this good fate was formed, she used it, although it was stained with the light of her brother, but the other party was willing to send troops and came in person, which really made her grateful.

「…… Look at your wounds, stop talking, it's not too late to talk about anything!" The eldest princess of Xuan'an looked at Chang Suining with distressed eyes.

Looking at such a sister Chang, Li Tong also sighed, she wanted to say something, why didn't she stay in the city and go to the battlefield in person, but thinking of the tragic appearance as far as her eyes could see, she couldn't say it.

Even though she couldn't think about it, Sister Chang was not related to this and the state city, how could she do it for the defense of the city?

But she also suddenly realized that in this world, there are really people who live and die for others, regardless of their own life and death.

If she just liked it before, such a sister is worthy of her admiration at this moment.

Li Tong, who rarely left Xuanzhou and had never seen such righteousness with his own eyes, had such a touch for the first time.

The snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, her eyes were a little astringent, she took off the fox fur, and wrapped Chang Suining without saying anything.

Chang Suining said that she would stain her coat, she covered Chang Suining's hood with red eyes, covered it tightly, and smiled: "It's an honor to be stained with the blood of heroes."

The eldest princess of Xuan'an said, "The ancestral tomb of the Chang family is really smoking."

is obviously from a reckless man in the mountains, but he can have such a pair of good children, and he can still treat her blindly, isn't it smoking?

After all these years, his ancestral grave is afraid that he will be very tired.

Chang Kuo squinted at them talking here, and shouted like the eldest princess of Xuan'an, "Ning Ning, come here!"

The eldest princess of Xuan'an squinted over and sneered.

Chang Sui Ning drove his horse back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chang Kuo suddenly shuddered: "......!"
