When Gao Cheng and Huang Zun mentioned the new governor, the future governor of Xuzhou and the current governor of Xuzhou summoned elites from major families in Xia Pi.

Among them, the Cao family was the first family in Xia Pi. After hearing that Tao Qian was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, he immediately sent Cao Bao to visit him. Tao Qian's reputation spread throughout the Han Dynasty. He served as the governor of Youzhou and served as the governor of the court. He was a famous scholar in the world. His spiritual power was very strong, and he reached the realm of extraordinary soul refining.

Such a famous scholar is not the previous governor, and he is very powerful in both means and strength. Tao Qian has great righteousness in his hands, and the Cao family in Xia Pi dare not disobey.

In addition to Cao Bao, Mi Zhu was also summoned. There was also the famous Wang Lang, who was also in the hall.

The old man kneeling in the head was serious, with a tough look and sharp eyes. He was the new governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, who was famously upright.

Beside him, there were two men dressed as scholars, one of whom was Tao Qian's fellow villager, and the other was Zhao Yu from Langya. Zu Rong looked a little gloomy and said nothing beside Tao Qian. Zhao Yu and Wang Lang talked and laughed, and had a great conversation.

"All the wise men, Your Majesty appointed me as the governor of Xuzhou. I hope I can wipe out the Yellow Turban Rebellion and pacify Xuzhou. However, I have just come here and am not familiar with the situation here. I wonder what you have to do to help me?"

As soon as Tao Qian opened his mouth, everyone who was joking stopped. Wang Lang's reputation was second only to Tao Qian, and he laughed first: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is nothing but the disease of scabies. Tao Gongyun and Wenjun must have made a decision. If Gong Tao had an order, we would obey the order!"

"But I want to say that Xuzhou's troops have been declining for a long time. If you want to wipe out the Yellow Turbans, you must first have an elite soldier! And you also need a general, otherwise it will be difficult to stop the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans pouring into Xuzhou!"

Wang Lang talked about the biggest problem in Xuzhou now. Years of comfort have made Xuzhou's troops slack and turned into a mob, which is useless. These people can still use it to defend the city, but they will definitely not fight head-on with the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Tao Qian frowned slightly when he heard this. If he was given a certain amount of time, he would definitely be able to recruit an elite soldier in Danyang. However, now the Yellow Turban soldiers are about to enter the country, so there is no time to send people to recruit soldiers.

Zhao Yu is Tao Qian's most trusted aide. He thought for a while and said, "Xuzhou's troops are useless. It's too late to recruit soldiers now. However, I heard that the Cao family and Mi family in Xia Pi have many elite soldiers. I wonder if they can temporarily act as the imperial army to suppress the Yellow Turbans? If Xuzhou can be pacified, his majesty will definitely issue an edict to reward him at that time!"

When Wang Lang heard this, he suddenly realized that Tao Qian and Zhao Yu had such an idea in his mind and wanted to recruit the family soldiers of the Cao and Mi family. Unfortunately, the family soldiers of the aristocratic family are the foundation of their foothold and will never be easily lent out.

Cao Bao did not have such good cultivation. When he heard Zhao Yu's words, his face suddenly turned blue and white. He wanted to kill the other person with one punch, but at this time, Tao Qian turned his gaze and looked at him quietly. He instantly felt a strong pressure.

A trace of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He wanted to grit his teeth and refuse, but suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his heart. He quickly said: "Duke Tao, although my Cao family's soldiers are elite, they are too small. Even if they are lent out, it will be difficult to resist the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army! I have an idea to allow Mr. Tao to obtain tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"

Tao Qian's eyes flashed and he said, "Oh? I wonder what the plan is?"

Cao Bao said: "I heard that Zang Ba, who assassinated the governor of Taishan County in order to save his father, now has tens of thousands of bandits under Donghai County. The governor and the governor dare not provoke him. If Mr. Tao can recruit this person as a general, he will have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and a general out of thin air!"

Tao Qian once heard of Zang Ba's reputation. When he heard that this person is now in Donghai County, his eyes lit up. If it was true as Cao Bao said, he could make this person a general under his command and he would be sure to deal with the Yellow Turbans.

Zang Ba was born into a small family in Taishan County and became a bandit in order to save his father. It was understandable. Tao Qian immediately agreed to this plan.

Mi Zhu, who was standing beside him, lowered his head slightly to cover up the cold light in his eyes. He had secretly investigated the fact that his second brother and younger sister were intercepted by bandits. The bandit leader that day was named Sun Kang. He had a younger brother named Sun Guan.

And Sun Guan is Zang Ba's capable subordinate and is not weak.

The mastermind behind Sun Kang's intercepting his second brother and younger sister was Cao, known as the first world in Xia Pi. Now if Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others are called Xuzhou generals, if Sun Guan finds Mi to kill his brother in the future, it will be difficult to resist only the Mi family soldiers!

His thoughts turned, and he also stepped forward and bowed and said, "I recommend one person to Mr. Tao, I am the Huai'an County Magistrate Gao Cheng. This person wiped out the thieves in Baimahu and wiped out all the bandits in Huai'an. There are several generals under him who are extremely brave. If he can be transferred to the prefecture, he will definitely be a supporter of Mr. Tao!"

Tao Qian thought a little and said, "Huai'an Gao Cheng, I have heard of this person, and he is also a hero from Xuzhou. Good! Yuanda, come and write the imperial edict to Zang Ba, and in addition, Huai'an Gao Cheng leads the county to go north to listen to it!"

Then he issued orders repeatedly to recruit Wang Lang to serve as the governor, Mi Zhu and Zhao Yu to serve as the other lords, and Cao Bao was the commander of Xia Pi, responsible for defending the city and defending the city. Zu Rong was responsible for transporting the food and grass from Guangling and Pengcheng for military use.

...

A few days later, Gao Cheng was practicing swordsmanship in the mansion, and suddenly received news from Mi Zhu through a merchant ship that the governor of Xuzhou was preparing to lead the county to the north to Xiapi to fight against the Yellow Turban soldiers!

"This is an opportunity!"

Gao Cheng was delighted that Tao Qian was very famous at this time. If he could make contributions under him, he would recommend him to serve as the prefect of a county with the creditor of the Yellow Turbans.

Well, it is best if he can be called a county magistrate in Yangzhou, so that he can manage his foundation well and develop vigorously.

Not long after, the official documents of the prefecture's government were passed on through the official post.

After receiving the order, Gao Cheng asked Gao Tai and Zhang Chen to take their family soldiers to guard the family business, and Lu Dai continued to take charge of the water camp. He took Jiang Qin, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, and mixed 100 elite family soldiers and 300 counties to take a boat north.

On the way, Gao Cheng kept receiving news from Mi Zhu that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans had already flowed through Yanzhou and poured into Xuzhou. The gang of riots attacked the county town's fortress along the way. Many small families and cities were looted. Even the Zhang family's fortress near Pengcheng were broken, with heavy casualties and injuries.

Among them, Zhang Zhao, the most outstanding son of Zhang, broke through the siege with a long bow and disappeared.

"Zhang Zhao, Pengcheng? He was almost killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers?"

After hearing the news, Gao Cheng couldn't help but jump. Zhang Zhao, one of the two Zhangs in Jiangdong, was not inferior to Xun Yu's prime minister. It would be a pity if he died!

The merchant ship passed through the Huai River and entered the Si River. Gao Cheng saw a large number of refugees displaced due to war on the shore. Pengcheng was the capital of Xuzhou and could not be lost. The officers and soldiers in the city were very strict in defense under the attack of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
