Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 231 Westbound (Happy New Year)
Langya Kingdom is located at the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, with the sea in the east and Taishan County in the west. The territory is full of mountains and rivers, the population is relatively sparse, and Kaiyang County, where Zangba stationed troops, is within the territory of Langya Kingdom.If Gao Cheng becomes the long history of Langya, he will have no chance to develop his power at all.

Gao Cheng thought of this, and asked, "Zizhong, if I want to become the prefect of a certain county in Yangzhou, is there any way?"

Mi Zhu was surprised when he heard the words, and said, "You want to go to Yangzhou? Ziming, apart from Danyang County, Wu County and Jiujiang County, the remaining three counties in Yangzhou are wild lands. What are you doing here? "

Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao next to him were also shocked, instead of going to the bustling place, they went to the wild land instead. The young master's idea, ordinary people really can't figure it out!Only Xu Xuan looked at Gao Cheng thoughtfully.

Gao Cheng said: "Zi Zhong, now the Han Dynasty is gradually in chaos, the Yellow Turban soldiers and bandits are everywhere, without the Yellow Turban Army as a common enemy, the conflict between the Han royal family and the eight great families in the world may intensify again!"

"I want to develop the family into a famous family in the world, and I don't want to be caught between the royal family and the eight great families. Only Yangzhou is close to Guangling, and the land is sparsely populated. Neither the royal family nor the top families will focus on it, so it is suitable for slow development. It won't be too late for me to return to Xuzhou when the situation is stable!"

At this time, he certainly would not say that his purpose is to farm quietly and wait for the opportunity to fight for hegemony.

Mi Zhu thought for a while, and what Gao Cheng said made sense. Now the land and wealth in the Central Plains and Lianghuai are firmly occupied by those top aristocratic families and famous families in the prefectures and counties.They will definitely not allow a new family to rise up and take food from their bowl.

If Gao Cheng is in Xuzhou, as his strength grows stronger and the Gao family continues to grow, sooner or later he will collide with other aristocratic families because of interests.At that time, either the Gao family will rise from the blood, or it will collapse and become the food of those aristocratic families.

Most of the land south of the Yangtze River is sparsely populated. If Gao Cheng came here, there would be a large area of ​​land that could be reclaimed. As long as the refugees were recruited and continued to develop, the Gao Clan would become stronger and stronger over time.

Mi Zhu sighed in his heart, and said: "Brother Ziming is right, but even Danyang and Jiujiang, which are relatively prosperous, are far inferior to Langya Country. If you really want to go, just go to Luoyang for some activities, there should be some There is a great chance, the prefects of the three counties of Danyang, Jiujiang, and Wujun are probably impossible. Only Yuzhang, Kuaiji, and Lujiang, these three counties are short of officials all the year round..."

He told all the information he knew, and let Gao Cheng think about it for himself.

Mi Zhu said: "Whether it is to become the long history of Langya or the prefect of Yangzhou, tens of millions of money are needed. If Ziming has no money, I can lend it to you. Otherwise, when the emperor does not see the money in Luoyang, I am afraid that any official will be a No!"

Gao Cheng said: "Thank you Zizhong for your kindness. Not long ago, I defeated the Yellow Turban Rebels, and I got a lot of money, which is enough to use in Luoyang!"

"That's good! By the way, in addition to you, the governor also recommended Zhao Yu as the prefect of Guangling and Ruo Rong as the minister of Xiapi. After a few days, they are also planning to go to Luoyang. Do you want Ziming to go with them?" Mi Zhu said.

Now is not the time when the world is in chaos. High-ranking officials with a rank of more than a thousand stones, especially those officials who hold the power of a county like Taishou, Juncheng, and Changshi, can only take office after being summoned by the emperor.

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "No need, they are all the governor's confidantes. If you know that I reject the appointment of the governor and want to go to Yangzhou, I must feel uncomfortable. Rather than that, I might as well go out alone!"

……

Ten days later, the autumn wind swept across the land, and in the open field, two hundred knights rolled forward guarding several carriages.A young man in a black robe rode up a hill and looked ahead.All I saw were bones on the ground, vultures hovering occasionally in the sky, and jackals scurrying among the ruins of the grass.

"Pei State is ahead! Unexpectedly, this Yellow Turban rebellion is more powerful than the previous Yellow Turban army! I have traveled hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou, but I didn't see a few people?" Several people followed the black-robed youth to the hillside. , one of the men couldn't help sighing when he saw the situation ahead.

This young man in black is naturally Gao Cheng. Ten days ago, he took Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao, and Xu Xuan to select a hundred elites who were willing to follow him from the [-] army, plus the original [-] soldiers to Luoyang. , In addition to grain and grass, there was a whole cart of gold on the several carriages.

Gao Cheng handed over nearly [-] million five baht coins and all kinds of trophies to Mi Zhu in exchange for portable gold. Otherwise, tens of millions of five baht coins would have required more than a dozen carts to pull them.

"When Zhang Jiao was alive, the goal of the Yellow Turbans was to break through Luoyang, and had a specific strategic goal. But now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the remaining Yellow Turban rebels are like a mobile plague. Where there is a lot of money and food, they flock to wherever! Wherever they passed, Wubao was destroyed and the people were looted, the damage caused would of course be greater!" Gao Cheng said flatly.

After being tempered in the last world, when seeing this situation again at this time, Gao Cheng has been able to calm his mind, no matter how miserable the scene is, he will not be excited by it.

The person who sighed just now was Xu Xuan. After taking refuge in Gao Cheng, he obtained the first five levels of the Tiangang Thunder Spiritual Technique.Now that he has started to cultivate, he has awakened his vision with the realm of cultivating the soul.Able to see far away.Showed top-level cultivation talent.

Hearing this, he couldn't help nodding, and said: "My lord's words are very true. It is said that some of the Yellow Turban rebels went to Jizhou, hid in Taihang Mountain, and some entered Hedong County. Only a part came to Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Now The Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou have been pacified, and the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and Qingzhou have also been defeated by the officers and soldiers. It won't be long before the rebellion will subside!"

Gao Cheng shook his head secretly in his heart, what Xu Xuan said was only an ideal situation, but the reality is that the Central Plains is about to usher in a new round of war, which will be even more destructive.The sight of bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles is several times more terrifying than the scene in front of you.

As long as the conflict between the Han royal family and the top family does not disappear, the turmoil will never subside.The top wise men and counselors in this world can all sense this.

Xu Xuan will be able to become Minister of State of Wei in the future, and a minister of the State of Zhu, but right now he is just a young man who has just come out and is very weak in terms of knowledge and strength.Still not aware of the most core situation in this world.

When Gao Cheng and Xu Xuan were talking, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao couldn't get in the way at all. They were just warriors charging forward. Hearing the general trend of the world was like listening to a scripture.

Seeing their expressions, Gao Cheng couldn't help laughing, didn't speak any more, and led the crowd to move on.

Soon, a group of people came to Peiguo!Gao Cheng is an extraordinary and strong man, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao are also powerful warriors, and there are two hundred elite soldiers. When the group was on their way, they encountered many bandits and small groups of refugees. These people saw Gao Cheng and his party His aura and equipment are very interesting and hide aside, not daring to provoke them.

Pei Guo, Liang Guo, Chen Guo, Yingchuan... In a few months, Gao Cheng revisited his hometown and came to Yingchuan County.

　The new year has begun, and I wish all book lovers a happy new year, good health and happiness forever!
