More and more refugees gathered on the west side of Sishui. Gao Cheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw these. If so many refugees could be brought to Huaian, as long as they could be stable for two or three years, they would be able to create a lot of money and food for him. Unfortunately, his land and mines in Huaian were almost at their limit and he could no longer settle refugees.

At this time, Gao Cheng became more and more eager for a solid foundation. If he was now a prefect of a county in Yangzhou or Guangling County, he could gather all these rare labor forces in the name of residing refugees.

"The Central Plains of this world are full of wealthy families, and it is very difficult to establish a foundation here."

"In the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to some Han people, there are also a large number of Shanyue barbarians hiding in the mountains and forests. Except for one or two counties in the east, the other counties are all wilderness in the eyes of the people of the world!"

Gao Cheng secretly thought in his mind that the Jiangnan land had not been developed yet, and the land was vast and sparsely populated. If Jiangdong was the foundation, he had to prepare in advance. If these refugees from Xuzhou could be arranged to reclaim wasteland in Jiangdong, Yangzhou would inevitably become a rich place in the future.

The prerequisite for developing Jiangdong is that Gao Cheng can become the prefect of a county in Yangzhou. Only in this way can he have the confidence to resettle refugees and develop Jiangnan.

Gao Cheng stood at the bow of the boat, watching the river flowing, and the huge merchant ship led everyone to the north. He thought to himself: "This time, it seems that the first contribution must be made, so that Tao Qian can pay attention..."

According to the records he saw, Wang Lang, Zu Rong and Zhao Yu, who were originally engaged in Xuzhou, were originally recommended by Tao Qian as the prefect of Kuaiji, Guangling Prefect and Xia Pi for his contributions. Among them, Zu Rong and Zhao Yu were not mentioned for the time being, but Tao Qian's generals and aides. It is normal to hold an official position in Xuzhou.

After being recommended by Tao Qian, Wang Lang also found contact with him, so he was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji. In the future, he became one of Sun Ce's opponents to sweep Jiangdong.

As long as Gao Cheng was given the attention of Tao Qian and made great contributions, even if he could not serve in Xuzhou, he could still learn from Wang Lang to eliminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and to clear his relationship in Luoyang. He ascends to the high position of the prefect of a county.

...

Si Shui is very wide, with waterways connected to the moat of Xia Pi. The waves rippled slightly, and the familiar huge city wall appeared in Gao Cheng's eyes again.

This time, the one who came to Shuimen was slowly leaning against the shore, and someone immediately came to meet him.

"Zi Ming!"

Mi Zhu brought more than a dozen guards, and after Gao Cheng and his soldiers came down, he stepped forward to say hello. There was a hint of shame on his face. This time, he asked Gao Cheng to go to Xia Pi, mainly because he secretly tried to fight against the upcoming Zang Ba and others.

Without asking for the other party's opinions, he pulled Gao Cheng into this muddy water without authorization, feeling a little disgusted. Of course, if he was given another chance, Mi Zhu would still do this.

"Brother Zizhong, I didn't expect you to come to pick me up in person. It's a bit too grand!" Gao Cheng smiled, followed by Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao.

Mi Zhu's eyes subconsciously swept the two of them. Pei Yuanshao had seen him. Last time, he heard from Mi's family soldiers that this man was extremely brave and a rare master. Jiang Qin's physique and momentum seemed to be above Pei Yuanshao, which immediately shocked him.

"Is this the general Jiang Qin under Ziming? It's indeed a warrior!"

When Gao Cheng set out, Mi Zhu had already obtained information and knew about Jiang Qin's situation. This great man was one of the thief leaders across Baima Lake. He had fought with the samurai who had trained on the ninth level and was not inferior! When we met today, Mi Zhu realized that the rumors were true.

Mi Zhu's heart was shaken for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Ziming came to Xia Pi today. I should come to welcome you in person! Brother, I have prepared a banquet in the mansion to welcome you specifically!"

He showed great enthusiasm and quickly asked his guards to lead hundreds of military county dynasties to temporarily settle down at the Mi family manor, and then led the way in front of him, leading Gao Cheng, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao to Mi Mansion.

When we arrived at Mi Mansion, the hall had prepared delicious food and excellent wine. Pretty maids were serving each other. Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were both not from high births before, one was a thief and the other was a rebel. Never have ever seen such a scene?

When Pei Yuanshao saw these beautiful maids, his eyes almost fell out and his breathing became heavy. Jiang Qin just changed his eyes, and then he ate meat and drank wine without caring.

At this time, Mi Zhu picked up the wine bottle, came to Gao Cheng and bowed deeply, and said, "Zi Ming, Mr. Tao's intention to recruit you to Xia Pi this time. He did not ask for your opinions in advance. It was my fault. I am here to apologize to you!"

Gao Cheng's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He thought it was Tao Qian who heard about his reputation, so he transferred him to Xia Pi to deal with the Yellow Turban soldiers. Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu secretly tried his best. However, the other party found a way to transfer himself to Xia Pi. Could it be that something happened?

He looked as usual and held Mi Zhu up. He didn't really let the other party apologize.

"Zi Zhong doesn't have to do this. I would like to thank you for recommending me in front of the governor! Otherwise, how could the governor take me, a small county lieutenant, seriously? Now that the Yellow Turban soldiers are pouring into Xuzhou and officially making achievements, if they can make contributions, there will be one of them!"

Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and sighed. Seeing that Gao Cheng had no intention of blaming him, he slowly told him what happened in the prefecture.

After hearing that Tao Qian was preparing to conquer Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li and others, especially Sun Kang, the leader of the bandit who killed last time in the mountains and forests, who was Sun Guan's brother, Gao Cheng's expression suddenly became quiet.

"Zang Ba, Sun Guan! There are still tens of thousands of bandits!"

After Gao Cheng knew this, he felt a little dissatisfied with Mi Zhu, but he barely did not get angry when he saw the panic hidden in the other party's eyes. After all, Mi Zhu helped him so much these days, and through the Mi family's channels, his foundation in Huai'an gradually stabilized.

Now that Mi Zhu is in trouble, even if he returns favors, Gao Cheng will still help.

And Sun Guan knew the cause of his brother's death, and sooner or later he would come to him. Gao Cheng would also face Zang Bashen and Sun Guan.

"Zi Zhong, now you and I are constantly working together and have a deep friendship. In the eyes of Cao Bao and Zang Ba, we have become one. Once the other party takes action, we are all the other party's target!"
