Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 227 The Heavenly Book Fragment 2
Gao Cheng gave orders, dispatched troops and dispatched generals in a calm and unhurried manner, quite like a commander-in-chief!Jiang Qin, Xu Xuan, and Pei Yuanshao took the order awe-inspiringly, and each led the army to head south.Zhang Zhao sighed secretly in his heart, it would be okay to let him study and manage the side, but if he was allowed to lead the army in battle, with his own ability, he would face a formidable enemy like Gao Cheng, and his fate would be worrisome!
A total of [-] troops fought in Wu County and lost hundreds of soldiers and horses, with minimal losses.

Among them, 3 soldiers and horses stayed in Wu County to guard the Yellow Turban captives, and another [-] soldiers and horses were sent out. At present, there are only more than [-] people left in Baihu Mountain. These people are hiding in the mountains and forests. Get up and wait for the order.

While waiting, Gao Cheng checked his data on the top of Baihu Mountain. Not long ago, he defeated more than 7 Yellow Turban soldiers in Wu County, which brought him a lot of points.

After practicing the Xiantian Kung Fu, all the previous exercises he practiced were integrated into this magical skill that combines the three elements of energy, energy and spirit, making the Xiantian Kung Fu even more powerful.It can make Gao Cheng leapfrog the challenge, making him invincible at the same level.

In this world of the Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been put down, and the later top officials and generals had not yet grown up. Zhuge Kongming, who was able to call the wind and rain and put up eight formations, was only about three or four years old at this time.A strong man in the extraordinary realm is enough to run rampant in a county.

"Zang Ba should have arrived in Pengcheng. It seems that I have to seize the time to put down the Yellow Turban rebels south of Pengcheng. The faster I go, the more important it will be in Tao Qian's heart. With Tao Qian's recommendation, I will go to Luoyang to look for it. Doorway, I hope to become the prefect of a county as soon as possible, and lay the foundation in advance when the princes rise together in the future!"

Gao Cheng thought to himself.I don't know what Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is like in this world?

"By the way, we need to prepare a sum of money!"

At this moment, Gao Cheng suddenly thought that the current emperor has a hobby of prostitution, and he couldn't help feeling a toothache.The emperor's selling of officials is not like what ordinary people think, as long as they have money, they can buy any official position.

Nowadays, the world is ruled by aristocratic families, and even when the children of those aristocratic families became officials, they were only county magistrates and county magistrates. An ordinary person can be in a high position by buying an official, so where will the aristocratic families be placed in the world?
If anyone could buy an official position like a sheriff, then the Great Han Dynasty would never have waited for the Yellow Turban Uprising, and it would have turned into a troubled world full of princes long ago.

Today's emperor's selling of officials means that officials have made great contributions and need to pay a sum of money to take office when they are promoted. For example, for official positions such as county guards, they need to pay a full 5000 million yuan to the emperor!

This is what the buyer is referring to!Not everyone can buy it!

Of course, this is a normal promotion situation. If you can make meritorious service, or you are a famous person in the world with great reputation, the emperor can reduce some according to his credit and reputation.

For example, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun who wiped out the Yellow Turbans made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. After they were promoted, the emperor deliberately reduced the money they needed to pay.However, Taiwei Duan Jiong and Sikong Zhang Wen who dealt with the Liangzhou Qiang people had made great contributions, and when they were promoted, they had to pay a huge sum of money.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, the Qiang people in Liangzhou were not as threatening as Taipingdao?
"5000 million yuan! I can't get it now! I hope that when these Yellow Turban rebels are wiped out, more gold, silver and jewelry will be seized."

Gao Cheng smiled wryly in his heart, for those wealthy families, 5000 million is nothing.In particular, the Mi family is the most wealthy in the world, and they can spend hundreds of millions of wealth at will. These days, they spend close to 3000 million on the [-] army.

But apart from the land and shops he scavenged these days, the Gao family basically has no background.That is, not long ago, they got rid of the white horse lake pirates and got a windfall.

This money is not enough to pay the fee for buying an official.Not to mention dredging activities in Luoyang.When Gao Cheng thought of this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.The emperor's prostitution seems to be to steal money from the world's aristocratic families, but in fact, it blocks the way for a small family and poor family like him to make progress!
Those who can buy officials are all from aristocratic families, how can a small family from a poor family have so much money?After taking office, these people will inevitably graft the cost of buying an official on the common people, search and exploit heavily, and the world will become more and more chaotic.

At this time, Zhang Zhao not far away suddenly changed his face, and shouted: "There are shouts of killing! Ziming, it should be Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan who lured the main force of the Yellow Turban over!"

Gao Cheng came back to his senses in an instant, moved his ears, and indeed heard a cry of killing coming from the south, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Looking farther, he saw Jiang Qin running in front of him, while Xu Xuan reluctantly commanded the soldiers in the middle , and fight and retreat.Behind them was a mass of yellow turban soldiers.

"Brother Ziming, this doesn't seem like a false defeat, but a real defeat?" Zhang Zhao said hesitantly when he saw the scene in the distance.

There are about 6 or [-] Yellow Turban rebels behind thousands of officers and soldiers.This army of soldiers and horses still looks a bit decent, and each yellow scarf soldier is wearing a piece of leather armor.Holding a long gun and hanging a sword from his waist.Armed with the whole body.If it weren't for the yellow scarves on their heads, they would basically be exactly the same as officers and soldiers.

"They captured the arsenal of the city, and their armed strength is not weak! Coupled with the ten-fold difference in strength, it is no wonder that the false defeat turned into a real defeat! But fortunately, Xu Xuan controlled the defeated soldiers in time, and did not turn into a rout!"

Gao Cheng was not too surprised, hehe smiled.

He sent Xu Xuan just to prevent the false defeat from turning into a real defeat.Jiang Qin is brave and courageous, and is good at naval forces, but Lu Zhan is mediocre, so we can't pin all our hopes on him.

Whether it is a false defeat or a real defeat, as long as the Yellow Turban army can be led into an ambush, the rest is irrelevant.

"How dare you insult the great virtuous and good teacher and kill these dog officers and soldiers!"

"Hurry up, don't let these dog officers and soldiers run away!"

"Kill! Qu Shuai has an order. Kill one officer and soldier, reward a bucket of food, kill ten people, and be promoted to Dubo! Whoever can kill the leader of the officers and soldiers who insulted the great virtuous teacher, Qu Shuai will personally accept him as a disciple, and teach immortality Law!"

This army of yellow scarves was furious, chasing after Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan crazily. In the middle of the army, a middle-aged man in yellow long-distance running had cold eyes. Seeing the officers and soldiers fighting and retreating behind him, he shook his right hand in the air. Kacha, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, turning into a lightning spear and roaring out.With a bang, dozens of officers and soldiers behind were scorched black.

Seeing the lightning spear falling not far behind, Xu Xuan couldn't help but change his expression, and hurriedly quickened his pace.The more than 1000 soldiers behind him heard the sound of the thunderbolt, and ran forward crying and scrambling for their lives.It is no longer possible to stabilize and fight and retreat.

"no solution anymore!"

Seeing this, Xu Xuan sighed. His strength was only at the third level of strength training, and he had used all his abilities to keep the army from collapsing for such a long time. Now he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Fortunately, there is Baihu Mountain in front of him, and we have reached the place where the ambush is located.He felt sure and quickened his pace.Run towards the pre-appointed place.

"This is the Taoist thunder method? It's so powerful! Not good, the other party is a strong soul refining master, and the ambush is about to be exposed!"

On the top of the mountain, Gao Cheng saw the middle-aged man of the Yellow Turban Army cast a spell. He could sense that the man's spiritual power had not yet reached the extraordinary level, and he was probably at the ninth level of soul cultivation.But the spell cast by the other party is stronger than his Five Thunder Curse, both in scope and power.Then he thought of the powerful five senses of the Soul Refining Stream expert, and immediately yelled that he had miscalculated.

Zhang Zhao was startled, and he also came to his senses, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Ziming, I have a spell that can block the breath in the mountains and forests for a short time, but it won't last..."

Soul-refining powerhouses are extremely powerful in their minds and minds, and their five senses are keen. If the opponent moves forward, they will be able to spot their ambush directly.Seeing this, Zhang Zhao quickly clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and the awe-inspiring aura radiated from his whole body, and the powerful spiritual power quickly spread to the entire mountain forest.

In an instant, all the breath in the forest seemed to disappear.
