However, the weather was unusually hot in late May, and it seemed that it had fallen into three dogs, and the Yan army was so hot that many people had suffered from heat stroke, plus several defeats, and people's hearts were shaken.

Zhu Di gathered the generals of the headquarters and Ling Xiao and other heroes in the conference hall, Zhu Di glanced at Ling Xiao and the others: "All the knights of the rivers and lakes are going to fight with this king, and they are very tired from running around, and this king is ashamed, please accept this king's worship." He said and went down.

Ling Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "The prince has tormented me and waited, and I am only here with the prince for the sake of that foreign race, so let alone the hard work." ”

After a few polite words, Zhu Di said loudly: "All the knights of the rivers and lakes do not hesitate to fight with foreign races for the safety of my Central Plains, and this king is also extremely admired. The words changed and continued: "Now the Dongying people are conspiring with the imperial court, and our army has been defeated many times, and the Dongying people are also hindering it. ”

Ling Xiao hugged his fists and said: "I will understand the words of the prince, please rest assured that if the Dongying people dare to fight again, we will go to the battlefield with the prince." Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this.

When Zhu Di was discussing important matters, the southern army was also deliberating, at this time there were a group of generals sitting in the tent of the southern army, the first one was wearing a purple gold helmet, wearing bright silver armor, eight feet five inches high, although he was over thirty years old, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and he was discussing how to break through the Yan army in one fell swoop to capture Zhu Di, this general was Xu Huizu, the son of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, he was talking when he heard a shout outside the account: "The holy decree has arrived..." ”

Then a eunuch in a blue suit walked in, he strode to the center of the military tent, glanced at his mouth, and said, "Xu Huizu takes the order." ”

Xu Huizu was shocked and left the bench, came to the eunuch and knelt down and bowed: "The minister accepts the order." ”

At the same time, all the generals in the account knelt down, and the eunuch spread out his hands and read the holy decree loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: King Yan has repeatedly offended the emperor's prestige and captured the city, fortunately, Xu Aiqing went out to block the battle and repeatedly made war exploits, and defeated the thief in one fell swoop; ”

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and the eunuch glanced at Xu Huizu and said, "Marshal Xu is not ready to accept the order." ”

Xu Huizu hurriedly said: "Although the king of Yan was defeated, the foundation still exists, and now the troops are confronting our army on the bank of the Tuo River, and I can't say when the two armies will fight again, how can the commander of the army leave at such a critical time?"

An old man under the tent was the general Sheng Yong, and he shouted: "What the marshal said is extremely true, how can the marshal return to the court at such a critical juncture?"

The eunuch pursed his lips and said: "Ben Qincha is just following the emperor's order, do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xu Huizu said helplessly: "The minister accepts the order." He took the holy decree of Emperor Jianwen in his hand, and cried loudly: "My emperor is confused." ”

Five days after Xu Huizu left, the Yan army suddenly attacked, and the army was shocked by the ownerless southern army, and at this time there was a person in the army who was appointed by the emperor, although his identity was special, he also helped the southern army to win a lot of battles many times, this person is the master of the spiritual sect, Shangquan Sanlang.

At this time, when the Yan army attacked, he stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, I am waiting for the soldiers to be strong and strong, why are we worried and afraid for no reason, listen to my orders, let's kill them." When the generals heard this, they turned over their horses and fought out of the camp with a big gun, until the Yan army was defeated and retreated at dawn, and in this battle, Shangquan Sanlang became the backbone of the southern army.

Since then, there has been no movement in the two armies, on this day Shangquan Sanlang gathered the spirit sect people, and said loudly: "As long as the king of Yan is defeated, this seat will definitely be deeply trusted by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, we will be entrusted with a heavy task, and we will overthrow the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty will be this seat." ”

Zuo Fan said with a worried expression: "Lord, that Ling Xiao and the others are in the ranks of the Yan army, if they see a battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Shangquan Sanlang shouted: "Look at the good things you have done recently, if it weren't for your many years of meritorious teachings, you will definitely be severely punished." ”

Zuo Fan said in fear: "The Lord is angry. Shangquan Sanlang said proudly: "That Ling Xiao and the others are powerful, but my magic has been achieved, so why be afraid, this time not only will the Yan army be defeated, but the forces of the Central Plains Martial Arts will also be destroyed, and I will see who else dares to oppose us at that time." ”

When everyone heard this, they showed joy and said, "The Lord is wise." Shangquan Sanlang said: "How many people have been recruited by this sect?" Zuo Fan hugged his fists and said: "There are as many as 30,000 of them. ”

Kamizumi Sanlang said with a smile: "Over the years, I have also lost you to looting treasures from all over the Central Plains as military assets, otherwise we would not have the strength we have now." ”

Zuo Fan said: "The lord has a good reputation. Kamizumi Sanlang suddenly said coldly: "The Central Plains people who have devoted themselves to this sect can use it if they can use it, and let them stay in this battle." ”

Today, the sun is shining, and the fiery red sun is shining on people's bodies, which is only in April and May, and it has not entered the summer, and the weather is strangely tight.

On the river, snow-white red-crowned cranes, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes swooping into the river as if catching food, frogs are also on the lotus leaves, "quacking...", dragonflies waving their wings and landing on lotus leaves... Everything seems so natural, so beautiful.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came, the shaking river surface rose to the point of ripples, all kinds of birds flapped their wings and fled, and the frogs on the lotus leaves also jumped into the water with a "bang", and swam away with the fish that were about to float to the surface.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, the deafening sound is almost resounding through the world, and then tens of thousands of horses rushed out of the south and the north, and the two groups of men and horses confronted each other ten zhang away, and one person came out of the southern army first, although the age of the sixtieth is still majestic, this person is the veteran Geng Bingwen, he pointed at the northern military horse Zhu Di and said: "King Yan, you are the emperor's uncle today, one person is above ten thousand people, why is the nameless division deliberately rebelling?"

Zhu Di was fully armed, wearing a purple gold helmet with bundled hair, wearing a bright silver armor that protected his heart, a three-foot golden light sword hanging from his waist, and holding a purple gold dragon spear, which looked mighty and extraordinary. ”

The Northern Army's expression changed unpredictably when he heard this, and the previous sins were insignificant to the emperor, but this collusion with strangers had been seized by Zhu Di and put it to the truth.

Geng Bingwen shouted: "Deliberately rebelled, and used strong words, today the general will arrest you and go back to see our emperor to ask for the crime." ”

A general in a red robe flashed behind him, his mouth was wide and his face was full of anger, he held a tiger tooth gun, and went straight to the southern army and shouted: "The anti-thief is here." "This person's name is Ping'an, and he has fought on the battlefield with Geng Bingwen for many years and has made many meritorious contributions.

Fang was two zhang away, and a tiger general with a vicious face flashed behind Zhu Di, holding an iron soap gun and went straight to the field, the two stood a zhang away, and shouted peacefully: "The nameless ghost in the hands of this general will be named." The person on the other side shouted: "The pioneer Wang Zhenye under the prince's account, who are you?"

Ping An did not answer: "Nameless rats, take your life." ”
