Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 219 Former Enmity (Part [-])
More and more refugees gathered on the west side of Surabaya. Gao Cheng couldn't help sighing when he saw this. If so many refugees can be brought to Huai'an, as long as they can be stable for two or three years, they can create a lot of money and food for him. Huai'an's land and mines have almost reached their limits, and it is no longer possible to settle refugees.

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

"The Central Plains of this world is full of aristocratic families. It is very difficult to establish a foundation here."

"In the south of the Yangtze River, apart from some Han Chinese, there are still a large number of Shanyue barbarians hiding in the mountains and forests. Except for one or two counties in the east of the Yangtze River, which are richer, the other counties and counties in the eyes of the world are all Wild land!"

Gao Cheng secretly thought that the land in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been developed, and the land is sparsely populated. If Jiangdong is to be used as the foundation, preparations must be made in advance. It must become a land of prosperity.

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

Standing at the bow of the boat, Gao Cheng watched the rushing water of the river, and the huge merchant ship took everyone all the way north. He thought to himself: "This time, we must make the first contribution in suppressing the Yellow Turban rebels, so that we can get Tao Qian's support." Pay attention to……"

According to the records he saw, Wang Lang, Ruo Rong, and Zhao Yu, who were originally only engaged in Xuzhou, were recommended by Tao Qian as the prefect of Kuaiji, the prefect of Guangling, and the prime minister of Xiapi because of their merits after they wiped out the Yellow Turban rebels.Among them, Ruo Rong and Zhao Yu aside, they were Tao Qian's generals and staff.It is normal to hold an official position in Xuzhou.

After Wang Lang was recommended by Tao Qian, he also found a relationship, so he was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji.In the future, he became one of Sun Ce's opponents who swept Jiangdong.

As long as Gao Cheng can get Tao Qian's attention and make great contributions, even if he can't hold a post in Xuzhou, he can still follow Wang Lang's example and use his credit for suppressing the Yellow Turban rebels to clear up his relationship in Luoyang.He ascended to the high position of prefect of a county.

……

Surabaya is very wide, and there is a waterway connecting with the moat of Xiapi. The water waves are slightly rippling, and the familiar huge city wall reappears in Gao Cheng's eyes.

This time, it was the water gate that came. The merchant ship was slowly leaning against the shore, and someone came up to meet it immediately.

"Zi Ming!"

Mi Zhu led a dozen guards, and after Gao Cheng and his soldiers came down, he came forward to say hello.There was a trace of shame on his face.This time Gao Cheng was asked to go up and down the Pi, mainly because he secretly used his strength to fight against the coming Zang Ba and others.

Without consulting the other party's opinion, he dragged Gao Cheng into this muddy water without authorization, and he felt a little sorry.Of course, if he was given another chance, Mi Zhu would still do the same.

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

Mi Zhu's gaze swept over the two of them subconsciously. He had already seen Pei Yuanshao. Last time he heard from Mi's family soldiers that he was extremely brave and a rare master.And Jiang Qin's physique and momentum seemed to be even higher than that of Pei Yuanshao, which immediately shocked him.

"This is Jiang Qin, the general under Ziming's command? He really is a warrior!"

When Gao Cheng set off, Mi Zhu had already obtained information about Jiang Qin's situation.This majestic man is one of the leaders of the water thieves who run across the White Horse Lake. He once fought against warriors who trained at the ninth level, and he did not lose the wind!After meeting today, Mi Zhu knew that the rumors were true.

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

He was very enthusiastic and quickly asked his guards to lead hundreds of Bing Xianyong to Mi's manor temporarily to settle down, and then personally led the way, leading Gao Cheng, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao to Mi's mansion.

When we arrived at Mi Mansion, delicious food and fine wines were already prepared in the hall.Pretty maids were waiting on the sidelines. Both Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were from low backgrounds. One was a water thief and the other was a rebel. Never seen such a scene before.

When Pei Yuanshao saw these beautiful maids, his eyes almost fell out, and his breathing became heavy.But Jiang Qin just changed his eyes, and then he ate meat and drank indifferently.

At this time, Mi Zhu picked up the wine bottle, came to Gao Cheng, bowed deeply, and said, "Ziming, it was my idea that Mr. Tao recruited you to come to Pi this time. I didn't ask for your opinion in advance. 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, and then sent him to Xiapi to deal with the Yellow Turban rebels, but he didn't expect Mi Zhu to do it secretly.However, the other party tried to find a way to transfer him to Xiapi. Could it be that something happened to him?
With his normal expression, he lifted Mi Zhu up.There was no real apology from the other party.

"Zizhong doesn't have to be like this. I also want to thank you for recommending me in front of the governor! Otherwise, how could the governor put me in the eyes of this little county lieutenant? Now that the Yellow Turban rebels are pouring into Xuzhou and officially making contributions, if you can establish For the credit, Zizhong also has a share of it!"

Mi Zhu gave a wry smile and sighed, seeing that Gao Cheng really didn't mean to blame him, he slowly told what happened in the state capital.

Hearing that Tao Qian was planning to conquest Zang Ba, as well as Sun Guan, Yin Li and others, especially Sun Kang, the bandit leader who was beheaded in the forest last time, who was Sun Guan's brother, Gao Cheng's expression froze immediately.

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

After Gao Cheng knew this, he felt a little dissatisfied with Mi Zhu in his heart, but seeing the panic hidden in the other's eyes, he barely had an attack.Anyway, Mi Zhu has helped him so much these days, and through Mi's channel, his foundation in Huai'an has gradually stabilized.

Now that Mi Zhu is in trouble, Gao Cheng will help even if it is to return the favor.

And Sun Guan knew the cause of his brother's death, so sooner or later he would take the initiative to find him.At that time, Gao Cheng will also face people like Shang Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

"Zizhong, now you and I are constantly cooperating and have a deep friendship. In the eyes of Cao Bao and Zang Ba, we have become a family. Once the other party makes a move, we are the target of the other party!"

"This is the end of the matter, there is no need to say anything else! Cao Bao and Zang Ba have become our common enemies... Zizhong, do you know the specific information about Zang Ba?"

　I just got home... plus all kinds of preparations are needed for the Chinese New Year, the update is a bit unstable, please forgive me... But it will definitely not be updated, everyone can rest assured.
