Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 201 Assassination
When Xiang Zhuang devoted himself to making paper, the situation in Jiangdong continued to brew and ferment.

More than 1000 veterans returned home in fine clothes, as well as the ashes of the dying soldiers they brought back, as well as the pensions, horses, and title documents brought back with the ashes, which greatly shocked Jiangdong's elders. Xiangzhuang's veterans who fought thousands of miles became celebrities in the entire Jiangdong overnight.

Although the Qin State ruled Jiangdong for only a short ten years, Qin's laws and title system still left a deep impression on Jiangdong's elders. These days, if you have a title, you are a nobleman!

It turns out that you can really get a title by following the former kings and generals to conquer the world!

For a moment, all Jiangdong's disciples were excited. Let me ask, who wouldn't want to win a title based on their military exploits?
At this time, after Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhongli Mo, and Yu Ziqi led more than a thousand veterans across the river, Xiangzhuang's trusted general Gao Chu also crossed the Wujiang River with five hundred elite horsemen. Although the riders are not borrowed from Jiangdong, they are also from Chu State, and they are all carefully selected elite men. This is also the prelude to "showing their strength".

Five hundred fine riders took a rest in Moling, and then came straight to Wuzhong.

As soon as the news spread, a surprising scene appeared. Everywhere Gao Chujun went, he was warmly welcomed by the local elders. The Jiangdong elders spontaneously ate pots of milk and lined the road to welcome them, almost blocking the road Yes, those unmarried girls aged [-], [-] or [-] even winked at the gallant and high-spirited cavalry officers and soldiers on horseback.

Gao Chu, who rode a tall horse and walked in the front, was young and majestic, and became the target of many girls!
Jiangdong folk customs have been cultivated since ancient times, daring to love and hate, if Gaochu hadn't ruled the army strictly, maybe these five hundred warriors would have followed these young girls into the forest.

Such a scene was obviously somewhat beyond Gao Chu's expectations.

However, Gao Chu was not dazzled by such a scene. He still restrained his steps, and the five hundred cavalry still maintained a strict formation. The more serious Jun was, the more Jiangdong girls flocked to him liked him, and the scene was about to get out of control.

Qin Yu, who rode beside Gao Chu on a fine horse, was both happy and worried.

Qin Yufang was naturally happy that Ailang and his trilogy could be welcomed so warmly by the people of Jiangdong, but seeing so many young and beautiful Jiangdong girls staring at her Ailang, Qin Yufang was inevitably a little nervous. Looking at Gao Chu's high-spirited, chest-protruding belly, Qin Yu couldn't help but grin his teeth, wanting you to look good later, hum!

Gao Chu didn't know that the standard military posture had caused unreasonable disasters for himself, and he was feeling ecstatic.

Seriously speaking, Gao Chu is just a stunned young man in his early twenties, but he is already a general in command of thousands of troops, and now he is favored by countless Jiangdong girls, how can he not be proud?People are not frivolous and waste young people, Gao Chu is already thinking, when the situation in Jiangdong is settled, should he take some beautiful concubines?
Gao Chu was thinking about it when suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes in front of him.

"Woo..." Gao Chu stopped his mount lightly, and the five hundred riders behind him also stopped their horses one after another.

On the road ahead, a group of dozens of riders came galloping, yelling and yelling. Jiang Dong's elders, who had been congested on the road, ran away one after another. Soon, those dozens of riders rushed in front of Gao Chu, but they were the ones who had crossed the river earlier. The captain of the personal army, Po Jun, brought dozens of cavalry veterans to the outside of Wuzhong City to greet them.

"General!" Po Jun and dozens of veterans bowed to each other.

Gao Chu bowed in return, and said with a smile, "Po Jun, you've grown fat!"

Po Jun scratched his head, smiled innocently, and Gou Sheng next to him laughed and said, "General, since he returned home more than half a month ago, this kid Po Kong not only bought a big house, but also bought dozens of acres of fertile land, and With the help of the clan elders, I have taken in two beautiful girls, and my life is not to mention how beautiful it is, it would be strange if I didn't grow fat."

"God left, you're not much better, boy." Po Jun said back, "You're married too, and the newly married lady is a well-known little beauty from far and near, General, on the day of the wedding , the old brothers have all gone, the bride is really handsome, everyone is jealous."

Gou Sheng didn't even refute, with a complacent expression on his face.

At this time, a few sweet female voices suddenly sounded from the crowd on the side of the road: "Young general in red robe on horseback, our Concubine Cao is a well-known beauty in Wuzhong County. If you don't believe me, look, she is so handsome. The female general next to you is poor, why don't you just marry her?"

Jiang Dong's elders, who lined the road to welcome him, burst out laughing.

Gao Chu instinctively turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a shy and timid girl in the crowd. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate figure, a fair face, and a pair of big black eyes flickering. , Duan is extremely handsome, and she is a little ecstatic at the moment of high school, such a beauty, if she can really be accepted as a concubine...

At this moment, a cold snort with a hint of murderous intent suddenly sounded beside him.

Gao Chu immediately shuddered, and suddenly looked away, but the shadow in his mind couldn't be eliminated. Seeing that Gao Chu was obviously out of his mind, the captain of the personal army, Po Jun, rolled his eyes. Then he had an idea, after the five hundred cavalry went on the road again, he fell behind and went to inquire about the little girl's background.

##########
Surrounded by three hundred soldiers, Xiang Tuo stood quietly beside the Chidao outside the north gate.

The cold spring is cold, and the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River is still extremely cold. The faces of Xiang Tuo and the three hundred soldiers behind him turned blue. Obviously, they have been standing here for a while, and judging by their seriousness, they seem to be They are waiting for someone, yes, they are waiting for someone, and the person waiting is none other than Gao Chu!

In Xiang Tuo's capacity, it seems a little too much to condescend to wait for high school?

You know, even when Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Li Mo, and Yu Ziqi came back, Xiang Tuo didn't greet them in person, but just sent people outside the city.

But thinking about it carefully, Xiang Tuo's doing so is actually reasonable.

Although Gao Chu's status in the Chu army is not as high as that of Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other veteran generals, the weight in the hearts of Chu soldiers may not be lighter than that of Huan Chu and Ji Bu. Zhuang's most trusted generals, Huan Chu and Ji Bu, may not be able to know Xiang Zhuang's true thoughts, but Gao Chu must know.

Of course, there was another important reason why Xiang Tuo welcomed Gao Chu in person.

That is Gao Chu's divine archery, and Xiang Tuo's archery skills are also very good. It can be said that almost no one in Jiangdong can match his archery skills, so he really wants to learn from Gao Chu's archery skills.

I don't know how long I waited, and finally a fast horse galloped back from the front.

Before he could get close, the knight on horseback shouted loudly: "General, they are coming, they are coming!"

Xiang Tuo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Shut up, I have told you too many times, there is only one general in Dachu, and that is Xiang Zhuang. I, Xiang Tuo, have never been a general!"

The knight Weiwei responded, but the expression on his face was rather disapproving.

Xiang Tuo felt a little helpless in his heart, how could Xiang Tuo not know the thoughts of these generals under him and those nobles who supported him?Xiang Tuo's ultimate dream was indeed Xiang Tuo's ultimate dream to become the general of Great Chu and even the Shangzhu Kingdom, but he knew better that Xiang Zhuang was more suitable than Xiang Tuo for the position of general in terms of blood, seniority, and military exploits.

However, Xiang Tuo didn't bother to care about these messes soon, because a mighty cavalry formation had already appeared on the road ahead. Looking from afar, this cavalry formation was neatly lined up, heavily armored, brand new in battle robes, and The sword bears the arrow, and all of them have chest and belly, full of energy, and look majestic.

Xiang Tuo couldn't help secretly applauding, what an elite cavalry army!
It seems that Mr. Kuai Che was right when he told himself that the general had indeed built an elite team!
Xiang Tuo was even more moved by the elders of Jiangdong who followed this cavalry army. It seems that some things will not change with the conspiracy of some people. Some people originally wanted to destroy the general. However, judging by the situation, their calculations may be in vain.

Jiangdong's elders' love for the general and the soldiers of the Chu army is beyond everyone's imagination!
The distance between the two sides was still a hundred steps away, Gao Chu reined in the horse, and then got off the horse.

As early as on the way here, Pokong and Gousheng had already told him that Xiang Tuo was waiting outside the north gate of Wuzhong County. He is the fake son of the old general Xiang Liang, so the respect of face is still necessary, otherwise, he will lose the face of the general.

Seeing Gao Chu get off his horse, Xiang Tuo immediately smiled and hurried up to meet him.

Gao Chu also greeted him happily, but when the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps away, a soldier behind Xiang Tuo suddenly quickened his pace and rushed to the front of Xiang Tuo unexpectedly, Xiang Tuo was stunned for a moment , Before he could react, the soldier pulled out a cold long sword. This sword was obviously not ordinary.

"Tianyan?" Xiang Tuo was taken aback and roared angrily, "Are you crazy?!"

The soldier didn't pay any attention to him, and stabbed at Gao Chu like lightning with a sword in his hand.

The bone-eroding ice and cold came like a tide, and Gao Chu's pupils shrank sharply in an instant. As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. Don't look at the soldier's sword stabbing lightly and delicately, but Gao Chu felt it. , the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment. Obviously, this person is definitely not an ordinary soldier, this person is definitely a master of swordsmanship!

But after all, Gao Chu is a veteran who survived many battles. Relying on the instinctive reaction cultivated by countless escapes, Gao Chu's pair of iron palms suddenly closed when there was no time to move, and there was only a clear clang, and they were firmly clamped. The assassin's long sword was touched, and at the same time, his feet were empty, and the whole figure retreated in an attempt to defuse the long sword's thrust.

There was a slight sneer on the corner of the assassin's mouth, it was useless at all, looking around the world, there are less than ten people who can escape from my Tianyan sword, and you are obviously not among them...
