Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 230
After trying the Sky Thunder Spear spell, Gao Cheng did not continue to practice, but walked out of the room. At this time, the Yellow Turban rebels and bandits in the three county towns had been wiped out.Zhang Zhaozheng took the time to lead the captives to repair the city and dredge the canals!
When he came outside the city, Gao Cheng saw the Yellow Turban captives busy inside and outside the city. The dilapidated county town quickly became orderly. With enough money and food, the entire county town became full of vitality.

"Zhang Zhao deserves to be a prime minister. A few days ago, I only told him four words: work for relief, and he can do this!"

Gao Cheng admired in his heart, for a power, in addition to soldiers and generals, a person who is good at internal affairs is also indispensable. In the later Three Kingdoms, Wei State had Xun Yu, Shu Han had Zhuge Liang, and Wu State had Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.Without the painstaking efforts of these people, it would not be so easy for these three great powers to rise from the many princes.

"General!"

A voice came from a distance, Gao Cheng turned his eyes and saw Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan walking quickly, among them Xu Xuan had a smile on his face, as if he had heard some similar news.

"General, good news! The battle report came from Xiapi. General Zang Ba defeated the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Pengcheng. Now the Yellow Turbans north of Pengcheng have collapsed and are no longer a threat to Xuzhou!" Xu Xuan didn't know Gao Cheng and Zang The grievances between bullies, after getting the battle report, he and Jiang Qin quickly came to report the news.

Shock remained on Jiang Qin's face, and he followed up and said: "The battle report said that Zang Ba took the lead in this battle. He personally led [-] elite raids, charged into the battle, urged his whole body to exert all his strength, and broke through thirteen formations in a row. In the end, it was extremely brave to kill the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai! Unfortunately, after killing the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, he was at the end of his battle and was besieged by other Yellow Turban masters and seriously injured!"

Gao Cheng's expression changed slightly. He originally wanted to wait until Zang Ba and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans were in a stalemate, and lead his troops to the north to harvest a wave. He didn't expect that Zang Ba was worthy of being a first-class general with a long history. He was stimulated by his record. Immediately, all the abilities exploded.

With more than 4 original bandits, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves were defeated. This record can be achieved by the entire big man.If he is still a child of an aristocratic family, he is qualified to serve as the prefect of a county based on this record!Of course, if you want to really take office, you need to pay the emperor.

It's a pity that Zang Ba's current identity is the leader of the bandits, and he was rejected by the family by nature.Only when the world is completely chaotic, many princes no longer care about their backgrounds in order to compete for talents and generals.Only then can Zang Ba stand out completely.

It has been several months since the Yellow Turbans flooded into Xuzhou, causing huge losses to Xuzhou.Now that the officers and soldiers from the south and the north have all won a great victory, many families who had escaped from the military disaster in Xiapi began to return to Pengcheng with their elite soldiers.Tao Qian sent an order for Zang Ba and Gao Cheng to lead their troops back to Xiapi.

Before the army set off, Zhang Zhao bid farewell to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng felt a little helpless, now that his power was too weak, and the Yellow Turban had just been pacified, the world was not yet in chaos, so it was not easy for him to solicit directly at this time.

"Forget it, I have some friendship with Zhang Zhao these days. I will visit him after I go to Luoyang for some activities and get an official position. As the prefect of a county, I will have enough confidence to recruit the children of these aristocratic families!"

In this world, if there is no reputation, strength and no background, it is very difficult to make contributions. Unless the children of the aristocratic families are mentally disabled, they will take refuge in an unknown person as the lord.The previous governor of Xuzhou was underestimated because of his old age, and he failed to conquer Zhang Zhao. Historically, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had such a good relationship, and Zhou Yu waited until Sun Ce entered Jiangdong to lay down a piece of land before going there. Put into effect.

……

Marching all the way, more than ten days later, Gao Cheng and his army stationed outside Xiapi City.Mi Zhu had already received the news and quickly came to the barracks to join him.

"Ziming led the troops to suppress the bandits this time like a thunderbolt sweeping the caves. He has made a lot of contributions. The governor is very happy. If he reports the achievements this time, Ziming's status in Xuzhou will be improved soon!" Mi Zhu came to the camp. Afterwards, with a smile on his face, the Mi family and the Gao family are now closely related, and the higher the status of Gao Cheng after his meritorious service, the Mi family can also benefit.

At this time, apart from Gao Cheng and Mi Zhu, there were also Pei Yuanshao, Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan in the camp.

When the army set out not long ago, Gao Cheng revealed his intention to recruit, and Xu Xuan immediately expressed his willingness to join him.Unlike Zhang Zhao, a child from a family like Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan came from a humble background, and if he wanted to make progress, he had to seize every opportunity.

Gao Cheng led the troops to destroy the Yellow Turban rebels this time, and made great achievements. Sooner or later, he will become a high-ranking official like the prefect.As for his trusted subordinates in the army, only Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were lacking in talents.

Xu Xuan thinks he has talent, and if he joins the other party at this time, he will definitely be reused.

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "I only wiped out the partisans of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and Zang Ba dealt with the main force of the Yellow Turban rebels. Zang Ba deserved the most credit for this battle..."

Mi Zhu laughed when he heard the words, and said, "Zang Ba was born as a thief, so what if he has done the most. I have already received news that the governor is going to recommend Zang Ba as the captain of cavalry to station troops in Kaiyang. He does not intend to regard him as a general of Xuzhou."

Captain Cavalry was Cao Cao's official position before the Battle of Changsha. After a great battle, Cao Cao made great contributions with Bocai's head and was promoted to Prime Minister of Jinan.Become a senior official at the same level as the prefect.

But Zang Ba defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou, but was only appointed as the captain of the cavalry, and was sent to Kaiyang to garrison troops. His status in Xuzhou was not high, which was very embarrassing.

"I didn't expect that in this world, Zang Ba would still be sent to Kaiyang by Tao Qian just like in the original history! According to historical records, Tao Qian employs strange people, and he likes to use the children of aristocratic families who are pleasing to the eye. For people from poor families and small aristocratic families , will never be reused. Xuzhou is one of the thirteen states in the world, and there are countless top talents, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Dai are all outstanding people."

"These people are well used. They can use Xuzhou as the basis to merge Qingzhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south. They occupy the land in the east of the Han Dynasty and achieve supremacy. It's a pity that Tao Qian wasted the precious land of Xuzhou in vain."

Gao Cheng thought to himself, and asked, "Zi Zhong has been in the governor's mansion these days, has he found out how the governor arranged for us? It would be a pity if the fifty thousand army was disbanded after the war!"

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Mr. Tao has already discussed with me that the [-] troops are going to be merged into Xuzhou County Bing, and the governor will be in charge in the future. Of course, in exchange, I will be Xuzhou's biejia from now on, and Ziming, Mr. Tao is going to Recommend to the imperial court, let you be the chief history of Langya Kingdom!"

"Langya chief history? This is a high-ranking official on the same level as the county prime minister! His status is second only to Langya prime minister!"

"My son is only in his twenties now, and he can be the chief historian, with a rank of a thousand stones. In the future, he will definitely become a member of the imperial court with two thousand stones!"

"If you can really become a member of the court with two thousand shi, the Guangling Gao family will rise and become a famous family in Xuzhou!"

Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin were excited and said one after another.

After Gao Cheng heard the news, he frowned slightly, "Is it the long history of Langya? This is a bit different from what I imagined. What I want is the prefect of a certain county in Yangzhou, not the long history of Langya! "
