After Huang Zhong came out, he did not attack Gao Cheng as soon as possible. Through the brief battle just now, he already knew the approximate strength of the Lujiang prefect on the opposite side, especially the other party holding the magical artifact Huntian Banner.

The divine power in the inherited artifact is stronger than the qi in terms of its degree of condensation and power. If Huang Zhong had not used the Long River God to merge his body and used the secret method of Xuanlang's three-turn secret method to temporarily increase his own strength, he would probably have his Tianhe qi cut by the opponent the moment he encountered a space crack, causing irreversible injuries.

"We were defeated in this raid!" Huang Zhong glanced at the corpses in the water, and said in a breath. Hundreds of warships of the Jingzhou Navy were destroyed in an instant. With such heavy losses, Jingzhou's money and food could not recover its vitality for a short time.

Liu Pan's face looked ugly. He saw Huang Zu who fell into the water in the distance barely climbing onto the warship. Huang Zu had not yet broken through the refining of the genitals, but his body and soul cultivation had reached a certain level. He was just blown away by the aftermath and was not severely injured.

He snorted and said, "If Huang Zu hadn't made a rash move, how could we have suffered such losses! If General Huang was the main general in this battle, he would have definitely defeated Lujiang Water Village!"

Huang Zhong shook his head slightly. Even if Huang Zu did not launch a decisive battle rashly, they would not be able to defeat the Lujiang Navy. Gao Cheng held the magical artifact Huntian Banner and was said to have taken away the imperial seal. As long as he did not defeat him, there would be no problem in the water village and Chaisang City in front.

"You can only retreat now, otherwise our navy and infantry will fall into this place!" Huang Zhong said.

In addition to being impatient, Huang Zu was usually a qualified general of command. After seeing this situation in front of him, his face changed a little. When Huang Zhong was speaking, he asked his subordinates to call the soldiers to make a sound.

...

"Lord, the Jingzhou navy is defeated, why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue?" Chen Wu was rescued in time, not affected by the space debris of the two fighting. He looked at the warships that were constantly retreating on the opposite side and said unwillingly.

"You can't chase! Huang Zhong is a powerful general. He can defeat the warship with one strike. If there is no general of the same level entanglement, chasing him is equivalent to dying!" Before Gao Cheng could answer, Zhou Yu next to him explained.

Gao Cheng nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's words. This time, the Jingzhou Navy lost tens of thousands of dollars, destroyed dozens of warships, and injured some vitality. I believe that there will be no action in a short period of time.

"Now that the Jingzhou Navy has retreated, our army is just taking over Yuzhang! Gongjin, Zilie, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. I will give you 30,000 troops and go south to Nanchang County, Yuzhang Prefecture. Are you sure?" Gao Cheng said slowly.

When Chen Wu heard this, he looked happy and quickly bowed his order. Zhou Yu thought for a while and wanted to exercise on the battle formation, and agreed.

Although Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang, was a master of soul refining and could suppress prefectures and counties, except for him, Yuzhang County is famous for its vast land and sparse population, and there are not many soldiers or masters. Zhou Yu and Chen Wu are both extraordinary, so there is no problem for them to deal with Hua Xin.

In May of the second year of Chuping, the soldiers and soldiers of Jingzhou and Lujiang fought in Chaisang. The soldiers of Jingzhou were defeated and retreated to Jiangxia. Gao Cheng's reputation spread throughout the country again. After showing his extraordinary magic power, Xuzhou and Runan, who were originally ready to move, returned to peace.

In June, Zhou Yu and Chen Wu led 30,000 troops south, and the prefect Hua Xin surrendered without fighting. Gao Cheng was transferred to Hua Xin as the prefect of Lujiang and took charge of the governor of Yangzhou.

In July, Lu Dai was the governor of the navy and joined Chen Dao to attack Danyang County. The prefect Wu Jing was Sun Jian's wife's brother. After the city was broken, he died in a fierce battle. After receiving the news, the other cities in Danyang quickly turned against each other and surrendered.

By the end of July, four counties in the six counties in Yangzhou fell into Gao Cheng's hands, leaving only Kuaiji County and Wu County. When a force first emerged, the vitality and power it exuded was unimaginable. Gao Cheng's power was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and there was no force in the entire Yangzhou that could be stopped.

In September, Gao Cheng captured Qu A and Dantu, and took Chen Dao as the vanguard to kill Yan Baihu of Kuaiji. When Kuaiji Dong Xi heard Gao Cheng's reputation, he took the initiative to come and defect.

The prefect of Kuaiji County was Wang Lang. After he made contributions in Xuzhou, he was recommended to come to Kuaiji as the prefect and was responsible for destroying Shanyue in the territory. Now a few years have passed, Shanyue is still in a difficult situation. He does not have many generals under his command, and the only one with some reputation is the famous scholar Yu Fan.

Among the six counties in Yangzhou, Kuaiji was not captured. Wang Lang was surrounded by Yuzhang, Danyang and Wu County on three sides. In addition, Gao Cheng has a reputation, Wang Lang was really not sure to defeat the other party.

At this time, Zhang Zhao sent a letter, Wang Lang had a step, and immediately sealed the government office and sent a seal and ribbon. He expressed his willingness to submit to the new governor of Yangzhou.

At this point, all the six counties in Yangzhou fell into Gao Cheng's hands. When the territory of a whole state was occupied by him, the dragon energy in his body suddenly roared and a pair of dragon horns grew.

Shouchun Governor's Mansion.

Gao Cheng moved his foundation to this city and prepared to stop the movement of troops within a period of time. In the past few months, Lujiang and Jiujiang lost a lot of money and food, and his soldiers were greatly damaged and exhausted, and had reached their limit.

"If we don't withdraw our troops, I'm afraid that Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Tao Qian from Xuzhou will join forces to deal with me! If they send troops again, it will be different from last time. They will inevitably send all the elite troops to suppress my momentum!"

Gao Cheng slowly thought in the mansion that before the second year of Chuping had passed, he occupied six counties in Yangzhou, which was even larger than the territory of the Eastern Wu in the future. Such a force was second only to Dong Zhuo and Liu Biao in this world.

From ancient times to the present, it has been very rare to occupy a state in a few months. This terrifying upward momentum will not be ignored by the princes who intend to fight for hegemony. Of course, Tao Qian and Liu Biao may not have the intention to compete for hegemony, but who made the two of them be Gao Cheng's neighbors? They also have some dirty things with Gao Cheng. The stronger Gao Cheng's power, the more uneasy they feel.

"I need to lie in a dormant for a year or two. I will take advantage of this period of time to farm and raise soldiers. I now have 400,000 troops and 200,000 water soldiers under my command. Such a force can't defend Chengdu."

To the west of Yangzhou, water camps should be established in Chaisang to strengthen the city, to defend the Huai River to the north, and to establish a defense line of the Yangtze River to deal with the threat from Guangling, and to use troops everywhere.

Although Dong Zhuo and the princes fought each other, the two sides only dispatched millions of troops. In fact, some of Dong Zhuo's troops had to defend Hedong and some had to defend other levels in Luoyang, and at least 60% of their power was restrained.

When Dong Zhuo gave up Luoyang and retreated to Chang'an, the troops he could dispatch increased instead of reducing, and was still the number one prince in the world. If Gao Cheng wanted to go north to Xuzhou or west to Jingzhou, he had to at least reorganize a million troops and organize a new army continuously. Only in this way can he have the foundation for hegemony.
