Zhu Yuanzhang traveled incognito and heard an old man shout two sentences. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: a good omen.

Everyone loves to hear auspicious words, hoping to win a good lottery and do things smoothly, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who will be emperor in the future, is no exception. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, a little beggar who had been begging in Huang Jue Temple, resolutely went to Guo Zixing, the bodyguard, to get a good meal, and was reused, thus starting his military career. After several years of struggle, Zhu Yuanzhang became a general who was independent and supported the army.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Hezhou (now Maanshan, Anhui Province) and wanted to attack Qing Ji Road (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) to expand his power and territory. In order to find out the geographical situation and military arrangement near Qing Ji Road in advance, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da disguised themselves, traveling incognito, and planned to cross the river by boat to learn about the military situation on the other side in person. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da came to the river, it happened to be Lunar New Year's Eve. The boatmen all went home for the New Year, and there was no punting to carry people across the river.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were a little disappointed to see that they couldn't cross the river without a boat. They were about to go back when they met an old couple on the roadside. The old couple are also boatmen nearby, but their boat is very small, and few people are willing to hire their boat to cross the river at ordinary times, so their life is relatively poor. However, the old couple are kind-hearted. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da travel-stained, I learned that they were going to cross the river, but I couldn't find the boat. They are worried about it.

Being kind and helpful, the old couple said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, "Two guests, it's late today and it's New Year's Eve, so it's not convenient for us to go out. You two can rest at my house tonight, and I'll send you to the other side tomorrow. " Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da agreed under the kindness of the old couple. That night, the old couple killed a chicken, cooked a pot of hot porridge, and treated Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da sincerely.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were naturally very moved. Knowing that the old couple's life is not easy, they are willing to kill the chicken to entertain themselves. They are very warm. The next day is New Year's Day. Early in the morning, the old man let Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da sit in his boat. The old man propped up the boat himself, rowing and shouting songs: "The Six Dragons of the Holy Son of Heaven are riding a car, and the generals are majestic all around."

The old man shouted the labor songs that boatmen often shouted at that time, in order to pray for smooth sailing when punting, which could not only relieve fatigue, but also seek a sense of peace. But Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. Why do you say that? Because it was the New Year's Day, that is, the ancient New Year's Day, and the so-called atmosphere of the New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang's trip was to capture Qing Ji Road. Now on the New Year's Day, how can he be unhappy when he hears such auspicious words?

Furthermore, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are both master-slave relations. Aren't they two auspicious names: "The Son of Heaven" and "General"? The old boatman accidentally shouted out his song, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were overjoyed. They thought it was a good sign of victory, so they stepped on each other's feet happily to celebrate. After reaching the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the old boatman money and said goodbye to the old man.

Later, he and Xu Da successfully found out the terrain and military layout of Qing Ji Road. Later, they conquered Qing Ji Road in one fell swoop and changed Tianfu to Yingtianfu. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang really had a foothold and stronger strength. Later, he claimed to be the Duke of Wu, and eventually seized the world, established the Ming Dynasty, and became the first emperor of Emperor Hongwu. Xu Da was also named as a general. At this time, the old man inadvertently shouted the horn of the punting: "The six dragons of the Holy Son of Heaven are escorting the car, and the general is majestic on all sides." Has become a reality.
