No one would object to Gao Cheng's decision. Now the Han Dynasty's reputation has not completely declined. Even the world's geniuses like Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan, and Chen Jiao have a deep sense of identity with the Han Dynasty. They have no favoritism for Dong Zhuo who deposed the emperor. Gao Cheng decided to go north and join the heroes of Kanto to join their wishes.

Xi Zhicai nodded in his heart. If Gao Cheng was about to hold his troops still, he would be ready to persuade him. Now Dong Zhuo has become the public enemy of the world. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have launched an army on behalf of the world's heroes. Gao Cheng is not famous now. Only by going north to join the alliance can the world know who Gao Cheng is.

In this world, in addition to strength and cultivation, the most important thing is fame. As long as Gao Cheng makes his reputation, the world will be in chaos and those talented people will take the initiative to come and seek refuge.

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "I have no worries when I have Zibu in charge of Lujiang! This time I will use Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, Chen Jiao as the army, Lu Dai, Chen Dao, and Zhou Tai as the general, leading 20,000 elite troops to follow me north to meet the alliance!"

Lujiang County was his base camp and there was no need to be misunderstood, so he left Zhang Zhao, Gao Tai, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by Jiang Qin, instead of Lu Dai, in charge of the navy, and Xu Xuan, in charge of Longshu, guarded the mountain barbarians.

"Duke Xuande, you join forces with me and go north together! I will lend you five thousand troops and horses. When I attack Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, I will report to Your Majesty to recommend you to fulfill your promise when I was in Luoyang!"

Gao Cheng turned his attention to Liu Bei. When he went north, he did not dare to leave Liu Bei behind. He knew very well about the abilities of the founding monarch of Shu Han and could not despise him at all.

Liu Bei stood up straight, bowed his hand to the ground, and said respectfully: "Thank you, the envoy!"

Both Gao Cheng or Liu Bei knew in their hearts that the three brothers of Liu Bei went south to Lujiang to serve Gao Cheng, which was just a transaction. Now Gao Cheng is preparing to lend Liu Bei five thousand soldiers as agreed, and is willing to recommend him as a formal official of the court. This is enough to offset the hardships of the three brothers in Lujiang over the past few years.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes slightly while stroking his long beard, and he could accept this result. At the time, the three brothers were desperate in Luoyang, and there were not a single soldier under his command. Now there were five thousand soldiers, which was considered to have accumulated some strength.

With him and Zhang Fei as generals, 5,000 troops can be as good as 50,000 troops. With another foothold, you can develop rapidly according to the Lujiang model.

In fact, even without Gao Cheng's recommendation and borrowing troops, Liu Bei would not be too disappointed. In the past few years of training in Lujiang, he had experience in governing the local area, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ability to command troops was also greatly trained. After going out, he recruited talents and appeased refugees according to Gao Cheng's method... It won't take long to create a prosperous place again.

...

In two days, Zhang Zhao continued to coordinate supplies and allocate food and equipment in Shu County. He mobilized 15,000 soldiers from Longshu and Yangquan. In addition, the 5,000 elite soldiers trained by Gao Cheng, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses were all cultivated by the Golden Bell Cover and could serve as ten soldiers.

Then Jiang Qin led the navy to the south along the waterway, preparing to take Gao Cheng and these soldiers along the water across the Huai River and enter the boundary of Yuzhou. The sky was clear that day, and teams of fully armed soldiers boarded the ship.

Gao Cheng was wearing a black robe, Zhou Cang was holding the Kunwu sword aside, and Pei Yuanshao was carrying a hard bow. Zhang Zhao, Gao Tai and others escorted him to the river like stars arched the moon.

"Let's just stop here! Zibu, Uncle Gao, and I'll leave it to you!" Gao Cheng waved his hand and asked everyone to stop their pace.

Zhang Zhao looked serious and bowed respectfully, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, there will be no accident in Lujiang! I wish you to go north to win the flag and make another great contribution to the Han Dynasty!"

Gao Cheng smiled, and he was quite relieved about Zhang Zhao. He waved his sleeves and turned around and strode on the ship. Lu Dai, Chen Dao, Zhou Tai, and two military advisors of Xi Zhicai and Chen Jiao followed closely behind.

Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang, had already boarded another big ship at this time. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were standing on the deck watching this scene. At this time, Guan Yu strode forward with great strength. When he came to the two of them, he said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have checked that the five thousand soldiers sent by the envoy Gao were all strong and strong. With a little training, he would be an elite soldier! In addition, there were five thousand armored weapons and a whole ten thousand stones of food and grass!"

Zhang Fei looked happy and said, "Envoy Gao is really good! It's worth the mercy of us who have worked for him in the past few years! With troops, weapons and food, we three brothers can make achievements anywhere we go!"

Liu Bei's face was calm, and it was impossible to see what he thought. He said lightly: "Second brother and third brother, there is no foundation, and the soldiers, horses, food and grass are all water without roots. If we brothers want to make achievements, we must make contributions in this battle against Dong. At that time, Your Majesty rewards meritorious ministers, and we will gain a foothold and lay a foundation!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both nodded and agreed with Liu Bei's words.

At this time, Gao Cheng took a group of civil and military personnel onto the big ship. Then Jiang Qin issued a loud order, and dozens of big ships set sail, following the waterway that was heading south to the alliance of the heroes of Kanto, the sour jujube!

The fleet passed by the big river, and the river water rustled, and dozens of large ships lined up in the river. After more than ten days, the river suddenly widened and reached the intersection of Feishui and Shaopo. Further north was the Huaihe River, the first tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Huaihe River is the dividing line between Lujiang and Runan County. Now the Central Plains government is in chaos and corrupt officials are rampant. Runan, the largest county in Yuzhou, has already withered. A large population is scattered to Xuzhou in the east and Lujiang in the south, bringing sufficient labor to the two places.

Gao Cheng came to the deck and looked forward from afar. He saw a wide river crisscrossing east and west. The water vapor was vast, and a thin layer of water mist was shrouded above the Huai River. The mist was vast and the mist was light, making people feel open-minded at a glance and stretched out the heroic spirit in their hearts.

"Youping! In front of you is the place where you were once hiding, this is a revisiting place!" Gao Cheng smiled, his eyes falling on Zhou Tai beside him.

When Zhou Tai led the thief to cross the Huai River, it was only by chance that he defected to him. Now, after a few years, Zhou Tai has been practicing hard and has become a powerful man in the realm of refining the Gang. In Lujiang County, his strength is second only to Chen Dao.

Zhou Tai smiled when he heard this, and showed a hint of emotion, saying, "If I hadn't defected to my lord, maybe I would have been a thief on the Huai River now! Meeting my lord is my lucky one!"
