While Xiangzhuang was busy making paper, the situation in Jiangdong continued to brew and ferment.

More than a thousand veterans returned home in glory, as well as the ashes of the deceased soldiers they brought back, as well as the pensions, horses, and title documents brought back with them, greatly shocked the elders of Jiangdong. These veterans who had followed Xiang Yu to compete in the Central Plains and followed Xiang Zhuang to fight thousands of miles and became famous people in Jiangdong overnight.[]

Although the Qin State ruled Jiangdong for only more than a decade, the laws and title system of Qin State still left a deep impression on the elders of Jiangdong. Nowadays, if there are titles, they will be nobles!

Following the former king, the general was able to win titles to conquer the world!

For a moment, all the children of Jiangdong were moved. Who wouldn’t want to win a title with their military achievements?

At this moment, after Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei, and Yu Ziqi crossed the river with more than a thousand veterans, Xiang Zhuang's confidant general Gao Chu also crossed the Wujiang River with five hundred elite cavalry. Although these five hundred elite cavalry were not borrowed from Jiangdong, they were also from Chu. They were all carefully selected elites, which was also a prelude to "showing their strength".

Five hundred elite riders took a break in Moling and then headed straight for Wuzhong.

As soon as the news spread, a surprising scene appeared. Every time Gao Chujun arrived, he was warmly welcomed by the local elders. The Jiangdong elders spontaneously ate and slurped in the canal and welcomed the way, almost blocking the road. The unmarried girls, who were sixteen or seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, even shook the heroic and proud cavalry soldiers on their horses.

Gao Chu, who was walking in front of the tall horse, was young and majestic, and became the target of many girls!

The customs of Jiangdong have been open since ancient times, and they dare to love and hate. If Gao Chu had not been strict in the military, perhaps these five hundred soldiers would have already followed these young girls to go into the forest.

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

However, Gao Chu was not blinded by such a scene. He was still restraining his troops. The five hundred cavalry still maintained a rigorous formation. The five cavalry were side by side and walked slowly. But the problem was that the more serious the five hundred Chu troops were, the more they liked Jiangdong Xiaoniang who was rushing in. As the scene was about to lose control.

Qin Yu, who was riding a horse by Gao Chu, was both happy and worried.

Qin Yufang was naturally happy that her lover and his troops could be so enthusiastically welcomed by the people of Jiangdong. But seeing so many young and beautiful little girls in Jiangdong staring at her lover, Qin Yufang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Looking at Gao Chu's chest and bulging belly, Qin Yu couldn't help but have a dark teeth. He turned around and wanted you to look good, hum!

Gao Chu didn't know that his standard military posture had caused him unpredictable disaster, and he was feeling relaxed.

Seriously speaking, Gao Chu is just a young man in his early twenties, but he is already a general who commands thousands of troops. Now he has been even more proud of the Qing Mi of Jiangdong. How can he not be proud? A young man is not frivolous. Gao Chu is already thinking about whether the situation in Jiangdong is settled, should he take some beautiful concubines?

Gao Chu was thinking about it when a sudden sound of horse hooves came from the front.

"Wow..." Gao Chu gently shouted at the mount, and the five hundred cavalry behind him also drank the war horses.

On the road ahead, dozens of cavalry were galloping towards him. The Jiangdong elders who were originally congested on the road were evading. Soon, the dozens of cavalry rushed to Gao Chu, but Po Jun, the captain of the personal soldiers who had crossed the Jiangpiao Astronomy Network, rushed out of Wuzhong City to greet him.

"General!" Pojun and dozens of veterans bowed.

Gao Chu bowed and returned, and smiled and said, "Pojun, you have gained weight!"

Pojun scratched his head and smiled silently. Gou Sheng next to him laughed: "General, since he returned home more than half a month ago, Pokong not only bought a large mansion, but also bought dozens of acres of fertile land. He also collected two beautiful ladies under the help of the clan elders. This life is so beautiful, and it would be strange if you don't gain weight."

"Goover, you kid is not much better," Pojun said hungrily, "You have also resumed your tact, and the newly married lady is a famous little beauty in the neighborhood. General, on the day of the wedding, the old brothers all went there. The bride was so handsome that everyone was very jealous."

Gou Sheng didn't even refute, and there was a proud expression on his face.

At this time, several pleasant female voices suddenly sounded from the crowded crowd on the roadside: "The young general in red robe on the horse's back, our Cao Ji is still a famous beauty in Wuzhong County. If you don't believe it, look, Ke Jun, isn't worse than the female general next to you, why don't you marry her?"

The Jiangdong elders who were welcomed by the sidelines burst into laughter.

Gao Chu turned his head instinctively and saw a shy and timid little girl in the crowd. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and gentle body, a white and clean face, and a pair of big black eyes flashing. She was extremely handsome. Gao Chu was a little bit in awe at the moment. Such a beauty, if she could really take her as a concubine...

At this moment, a cold snorkeling with implicit murderous aura suddenly rang around him.

Gao Chu suddenly shivered with excitement and suddenly withdrew his gaze. However, the shadow in his mind could not be eliminated. Seeing that Gao Chu was obviously a little distracted, the captain of the personal soldiers turned his eyes and had an idea. After the Five Hundred Cavalry set out again, he fell behind and inquired about the origin of the young lady.

#############

Xiang Tuo stood quietly solemnly on the edge of the road outside the north gate, surrounded by three hundred personal soldiers.

The spring is chilly, and the early spring in Jiangnan is still very cold. Xiang Tuo and the three hundred personal soldiers behind him all turned blue. Obviously, they have been standing here for a while, and seeing their solemn act, they seem to be waiting for people. Yes, they are waiting for people, and the people they are waiting for are either someone else or Gao Chu!

With Xiang Tuo's body, he was condescending to the nobles and came to the beginning of the year, and it seemed that he had passed?

You must know that even when Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi came back, Xiang Tuo did not personally greet him, but just sent someone outside the city.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is actually reasonable for Xiang Tuo to do this.

Although Gao Chu's status in the Chu army was not as good as that of Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other generals, his weight in the hearts of the Chu army may not be less than that of Huan Chu, Ji Bu and others. More importantly, Gao Chu is still Xiang Zhuang's most confidant general. Huan Chu and Ji Bu may not know Xiang Zhuang's true thoughts, but Gao Chu must be clear.

Of course, there is another important reason why Xiang Tuo welcomed Gaochu intimately.

That is Gao Chu's sharp shooting. Xiang Tuo's archery skills are also very good. In Jiangdong, no one can match him, so he really wants to learn about archery skills with Gao Chu.

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

Before he could approach, the knight on the horse shouted loudly: "General, here we are here, here we are!"

Xiang Tuo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Shut up, I have told you many times but few times. There is only one general in Da Chu, that is Xiang Zhuang. I, Xiang Tuo, have never been a general!"

The knight responded timidly, but the expression on his face was quite dissatisfied.

Xiang Tuo felt helpless. Xiang Tuo knew the thoughts of these generals under his command and the gentry who supported him? Becoming the general of the Great Chu and even the Shangzhu Kingdom was indeed Xiang Tuo's ultimate dream, but he knew better that Xiang Zhuang was more suitable for the position of general than Xiang Tuo in terms of blood, qualifications and military achievements.

However, Xiang Tuo soon had no intention of taking care of these destructive things, because there were already a huge cavalry formation on the road ahead. From a distance, the cavalry formation was neat, with tight iron armor, new battle robe, and carrying a knife and arrow. They all stood upright and raised their chests and bulged belly, full of energy, and looked majestic.

Xiang Tuo couldn't help but praise him in his heart, what an elite cavalry!

It seems that Mr. Kuai Che was right to him at the beginning. The General had indeed built an elite force in a hundred battles!

The elders of Jiangdong who were following the cavalry were even more moved. It seemed that some things would not change with the conspiracy of some people. Some people originally wanted to destroy the image of the general, but judging by this situation, their plan was probably to be in vain.

The elders of Jiangdong's love for the General and the Chu Army soldiers exceeded everyone's imagination!

There were only a hundred steps away from both sides, so Gao Chu grabbed the reins of the horse and then turned over and dismounted.

As early as the way here, Gou Sheng had already told him that Xiang Tuo was waiting outside the north gate of Wuzhong County. Although Gao Chu did not know Xiang Tuo's intention, no matter what, Xiang Tuo was the fake of the old general Xiang Liang, so respect for face is still necessary, otherwise he would lose the face of the general.

Seeing Gao Chu turn over and get off the horse, Xiang Tuo immediately smiled and rushed forward to meet him.

Gao Chu also happily welcomed him. However, just when the two sides were less than ten steps apart, a personal soldier behind Xiang Tuo suddenly accelerated and unexpectedly grabbed Xiang Tuo in front of him. Xiang Tuo was stunned. Before he could react, the personal soldier even pulled out a long sword with a cold air. This sword was obviously not an ordinary person.

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

The personal soldier ignored it and stabbed Gao Chu like lightning.

A bone-eroding icy wave came, and Gao Chu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. As the saying goes, experts will know if there is any. Although this personal soldier just stabbed out with a light sword, Gao Chu felt that the whole world seemed to have solidified at this moment. Obviously, this person is definitely not an ordinary soldier, this person is definitely a master of swordsmanship!

However, Gao Chu was a veteran who had been fighting for the rest of his life. With the instinctive reaction he had learned from countless times of escaping from death, Gao Chuyi's pair of iron palms suddenly joined in the moment when he couldn't help it. He heard a loud clang and clamped the assassin's long sword tightly. At the same time, his feet became empty, and his whole body retreated quickly, trying to resolve the stinging force of the long sword.
