Chapter 26 Westward Journey (Happy New Year)

Langya Kingdom is located at the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou. The sea is the east and Taishan County is in the west. The territory is full of mountains and rivers and has a sparse population. Kaiyang County, where Zangba stationed troops, is located in Langya Kingdom. If Gao Cheng becomes the Changshi of Langya, he will have no chance to develop his own power.

Gao Cheng thought of this and asked, "Zi Zhong, if I want to become the prefect of a county in Yangzhou, is there any way?"

Mi Zhu looked surprised when he heard this and said, "Do you want to go to Yangzhou? Ziming, except for Danyang County and Wu County, Wu County and Jiujiang County, the remaining three counties in Yangzhou are all wilderness. What are you doing here?"

Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were also shocked. Instead of going to the prosperous place, they went to the wilderness. Most people couldn't guess the idea of ​​the young master! Only Xu Xuan looked at Gao Cheng thoughtfully.

Gao Cheng said: "Zi Zhong, now the Han Dynasty is gradually in chaos, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion and robbers are everywhere. Without the common enemy of the Yellow Turban Army, the conflict between the Han royal family and the eight major families in the world may intensify again!"

"I want to develop my family into a world-renowned family, and I don't want to be sandwiched among the royal family and the eight major families. Only Yangzhou is close to Guangling, and it is vast and sparsely populated. Neither the royal family nor the top aristocratic families will focus on it. It is suitable for slow development. When the situation is stable, it will not be too late for me to return to Xuzhou!"

At this time, he would definitely not say that his purpose was to farm silently and wait for the opportunity to fight for the world.

Mi Zhu thought for a while, and what Gao Cheng said made some sense. Now the land and wealth of the Central Plains and the Lianghuai are firmly occupied by those top families and prefectures and counties. They will never allow a new family to rise up to seize food from their bowls.

If Gao Cheng is in Xuzhou, as his strength becomes stronger and his family grows stronger, sooner or later, he will collide with other aristocratic families due to interests. At that time, either Gao's family rises from the blood and falls into food for those aristocratic families.

Most of the places south of the Yangtze River are vast and sparsely populated. If Gao Cheng comes here, there will be large areas of land that can be reclaimed. As long as the recruitment of refugees continues to develop, the Gao family will become stronger and stronger over time.

Mi Zhu sighed in his heart and said, "What Brother Ziming said makes sense, but even the more prosperous Danyang and Jiujiang are far inferior to Langya Kingdom. If you really want to go, as long as you go to Luoyang for activities, you should have a great chance. The prefects of Danyang, Jiujiang and Wujun are probably impossible. There are only Yuzhang, Kuaiji and Lujiang, and these three counties lack officials all year round..."

He told all the information he knew and asked Gao Cheng to consider it himself.

Mi Zhu said: "Whether it is to become the Changshi of Langya or the prefect of Yangzhou, it will take tens of millions of dollars. If Ziming has no money in his hand, I can lend it to you. Otherwise, when the emperor has not seen the money, he may not be able to be an official!"

Gao Cheng said: "Thank you, Zizhong, for your kindness. Not long ago, I won a lot of money, enough to use it in Luoyang!"

"That's good! By the way, in addition to you, the governor also recommended Zhao Yu as the prefect of Guangling and Zhu Rong as the prime minister of Xia Pi. After a few days, they are also preparing to go to Luoyang. Should Ziming set off with them?" Mi Zhu said.

Now is not the time for chaos in the world. High officials with a rank of more than a thousand stones, especially prefects, county magistrates, and chief officials who hold the power of a county can only take office after being summoned by the emperor.

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "No need, they are all confidants of the governor. If I know that I refuse the governor's appointment and want to go to Yangzhou, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. Instead of doing this, I might as well set out alone!"

...

Ten days later, the autumn wind swept the earth, and on the empty fields, two hundred knights protected several carriages and rolled forward. A young man in black robe rode up a hill and looked forward. He saw white bones on the ground, occasionally circling vultures in the sky, and occasionally jackals and dogs ran around in the ruins of weeds.

"The Pei Kingdom is ahead! I didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Rebellion soldiers would be more powerful than the previous Yellow Turban Army! After walking hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou, I didn't see many figures?" Several people followed the young man in black robe to the hillside. One of the men couldn't help but sigh when they saw the situation ahead.

This young man in black is naturally Gao Cheng. Ten days ago, he took Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao and Xu Xuan to select a hundred elite troops from the 50,000 army who were willing to follow him. In addition to the food and grass, the original one hundred soldiers went to Luoyang. In addition to the food and grass, there were a whole truck of gold on the carriages.

Gao Cheng handed over nearly 100 million Wuzhu coins and various spoils to Mi Zhu in exchange for easy-to-carry gold. Otherwise, it would take more than a dozen large cars to pull the five-yuan coins alone.

"When Zhang Jiao was not dead, the Yellow Turbans' goal was to break Luoyang, with specific strategic goals. Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers are like flowing plagues. Wherever they have more money and food, they will flow to wherever they pass through! Wherever they pass, the fort was destroyed and the people were looted, and the damage caused will of course be greater!" Gao Cheng said lightly.

After the tempering of the previous world, when Gao Cheng saw this situation again, he could already be calm and would not be excited about it no matter how miserable the scene was.

The person who sighed just now was Xu Xuan. After he defected to Gao Cheng, he obtained the first five levels of the Tiangang Thunder Spirit Technique. Now he has started practicing and has awakened his vision with the realm of the first level of soul cultivation. He can see the scenes in the distance and show his top talent for cultivation.

He heard this and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "What the lord said is that some of the Yellow Turban soldiers went to Jizhou, hid in Taihang Mountains, and some entered Hedong County. Only a part of them came to Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Now the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou have been pacified, and the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and Qingzhou have also been defeated by officers and soldiers. It won't take long for the military chaos to calm down!"

Gao Cheng shook his head secretly. Xu Xuan was talking about the ideal situation, but the reality was that the Central Plains would soon usher in a new round of war, with greater destructive power. The scene of white bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crowing thousands of miles is several times more terrifying than the scene in front of him.

As long as the conflict between the Han royal family and the top aristocratic families does not disappear, the turmoil will never subside. The top wise men and advisers in this world can detect this.

Xu Xuan will become the Secretary of the Wei State in the future and become a minister of the pillar country. At present, he is just a young man who has just emerged from the cottage, and he is very weak in both his knowledge and strength. He still cannot detect the most core situation in this world.

When Gao Cheng and Xu Xuan were talking, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao couldn't get in the conversation. They were just samurai who charged into battle. When they heard this world trend, they were like listening to the book of heaven.

When Gao Cheng saw their expressions, he couldn't help laughing, and didn't say anything, leading everyone to move forward.

Soon, the group arrived at Peiguo! Gao Cheng was an extraordinary strong man, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were also powerful warriors, and there were 200 elite soldiers. While they were rushing, they encountered many bandits and small groups of refugees and soldiers. When they saw Gao Cheng and his group's momentum and equipment, they were very tactful and hiding aside and not daring to provoke them.
Chapter completed!
