Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 255
After the banquet, many Lujiang officials left one after another. If there were no accidents, Gao Cheng's name would soon spread throughout Lujiang, and everyone would know that the new envoy was tough.Not easy to get along with.

After the outsiders left, Gao Cheng immediately asked Pei Yuanshao to lead [-] elite soldiers and [-] soldiers towards Linhu County. Zhang Xun, the strongest Zhang family in Linhu, is still in Luoyang. Apart from a warrior with seven levels of training and two hundred soldiers, there is no noteworthy master.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao also practiced the Hunyuan Kungfu taught by Gao Cheng. He had already broken through the bottleneck of the seventh level of strength training, and reached the eighth level of wishful thinking. His strength was several times higher than before. Hu Zhang is not a problem.

"My lord, the Lujiang River has a vast territory. Among them, the Dabie Mountains stretch from north to south, occupying most of the western part of the Lujiang River. There are millions of people. Captain Zhang and 2000 troops stationed in Longshu are not a long-term solution. We must quickly recruit troops. Ah!" Zhang Zhao immediately began to think about Gao Cheng after he became a member of the county guard.

Liu Bei on the side once studied under Lu Zhi's family, and Lu Zhi served as the prefect in Jiujiang and Lujiang, and put down the barbarian rebellion in Lujiang, so he is no stranger to Lujiang County.

The mountain man in Lujiang County and the mountain man in Wuling County have the same origin, and they are collectively called Wuling Man.There are also some barbarians located in Danyang, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places. These barbarians are called Shanyue.It is said that they are descendants of the ancient Yue Kingdom.

Compared with the number of Wulingman, the number of Shanyue in Jiangnan and other places is several times greater than that of Wulingman.These barbarians have difficulty surviving in the mountains and forests, and often go down the mountains to plunder food and people.

"The local tyrants and water thieves are easy to deal with, but this mountain barbarian relies on the poisonous miasma in the mountains and is proficient in poisoning skills, so it is difficult to enter the mountains and destroy them!"

Liu Bei thought for a while, if he was the prefect of Lujiang, it seemed that he had no good way to deal with these barbarians. The only thing he could do was to repair the city, organize the military equipment, and train the soldiers.Passively resist the invasion of the mountain barbarians.

Xi Zhicai smiled lightly and said: "Brother Zibu, Shijun is already ready to do this, but you need to count the money and grain of the entire Lujiang River, and we know our family background, so we can recruit soldiers with confidence!"

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, and said: "According to the law, Lujiang County can recruit 5000 soldiers. Let's recruit according to this number first, Zibu. Next, there will be a large number of refugees crossing the river from Runan to the south. You have to be ready." Settlement, fields, taxes, cattle and horses, money and food, these things are all entrusted to you!"

Zhang Zhao smiled wryly when he heard this, Gao Cheng almost handed over all the civil affairs in Lujiang County to him, this is using him as a coolie!

However, he was not disgusted with this situation in his heart, and even had a feeling of being valued and trusted.As a minister, what I like most is this kind of master who dares to delegate power.And as an orthodox Confucian scholar, he can also slowly increase his aura of grandeur by sorting out various internal affairs, and his cultivation can benefit a lot from it, so that he can grow rapidly.

After Gao Cheng arranged everything, he felt relaxed for a while.I secretly said in my heart: "Wen has Zhang Zhao Xuxuan, Wu has Lu Dai Zhou Tai, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, these two guest generals, I don't need to worry about it anymore. Next, I finally have time to practice slowly!"

He still hasn't forgotten why he wanted to fight for hegemony in the first place.

If he wanted to be emperor, he had already done it for ten years in the last world, and he could continue to do it, but he didn't have much nostalgia for it in his heart.Although the days of waking up and controlling the world and lying drunk on the knees of beauties are good, they are not worth mentioning compared with Changsheng Jiushi.

The emperor owns all over the world, and he can move mountains and fill seas with a single word.With a random command, countless rare treasures and elixir medicines that assist cultivation can be gathered in the world.The beauty of the world is free to use, but if life is gone, no matter how good these things are, there is no way to enjoy them.

The purpose of his struggle for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms World is still for cultivation. With the enshrining of the whole world, Gao Cheng's cultivation speed can be improved by leaps and bounds.If he could reach the Ninth Level of Gang Refining and break through to a higher level, his lifespan could be extended several times.

Fighting for the world is the means, and practice is the goal.Gao Cheng is very clear about these points.

After handing over most of the tedious things, he will have enough time to practice. After returning from the last world, his realm has been at the first level of innate level, and he is still accumulating strength without breaking through.

There are eight levels of innate skills he cultivates, and it is said that he can condense the Taoist primordial spirit, but no matter how exquisite the skills are, it takes time to practice.

……

In the winter of the second year of Zhongping in the Great Han Dynasty, Gao Cheng, the prefect of Lujiang, took office. He captured the meritorious Cao Zhang Tao on the same day. Three days later, he sent people to attack the Zhang family in Linhu, and the Lujiang River was shaken.

The Zhang family in Linhu is the biggest land snake in Lujiang. Without this leader, all the rich families in the localities would not dare to stab them.Shocked by the prefect's harsh methods, he has no intention of resisting the various orders of the new meritorious Cao Zhang Zhao.

Later, a large number of refugees from Runan entered the Lujiang River. With the efforts of Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan and Liu Bei, these people were resettled in Linhu County, the land was cleared, the refugees were appeased, taxation was sorted out, and farming and mulberry were encouraged. Zhang Zhao started all these complicated things. He doesn't have much experience and some omissions, but he has grown rapidly, and in less than a few days, he can handle things like a stream, and slowly put the entire Lujiang River into operation.

Linhu Zhang's family is rich in wealth and stores nearly [-] shi of grain and grass. With the support of these grains and grass, Gao Cheng instructed to set up a new army camp in Shu County, recruiting soldiers from refugees and ordinary people, and soon recruited [-] soldiers.

After the training of these soldiers, some went to Longshu, and let Zhang Fei command to resist the mountain barbarians.The other part was transferred to Lu Dai's command to continue to grow the navy and establish a foundation in the south of the Yangtze River. The navy is the most important thing.Ten thousand sailors are far from enough.

In the third year of Zhongping, Zheng Bao, a water thief, came to Lujiang to plunder counties and counties, but was resisted by Lu Dai.

There are about [-] Chaohu water thieves, with a large number of troops, and there are many masters who have trained at the seventh level and above. Lu Dai can only defend and send people to Shu County for help.

After Gao Cheng received the information, he dispatched Guan Yu.Guan Yu arrived at the Chaohu water village, beheaded more than a dozen bandit leaders in succession on the battlefield, and cast the Qinglong Daogang, cutting tens of feet across the air, cutting the bandit leader Zheng Baolian and his boat in half.Lu Dai took advantage of the situation and led his troops to attack, and the Chaohu water thieves were defeated!More than ten thousand were killed, and all the rest surrendered.

The strength of Gao Cheng's troops increased dramatically in an instant.

In the autumn of the third year of Zhongping, the bandit Huang Rang, who was strangled by Guan Yu, colluded with the barbarians and led hundreds of thousands of barbarians out of the mountains to plunder food and grass, and troops came to Longshu City.

Gao Cheng brought Xi Zhicai, Guan Yu, and [-] elite troops to aid. After reuniting with Zhang Fei, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the vanguard and defeated hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops.More than [-] barbarians were surrendered.

Xu Xuan was appointed as Long Shuling, who organized these mountain barbarians into Qimin and selected elites to fill the army.Gao Cheng's influence has expanded a lot.And after repeated battles, a large number of Destiny Forces swarmed in, directly causing the Destiny Points to exceed 200 million.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth year of Zhongping.

In five years, Gao Cheng solved the dangers of tyrants, water thieves, and barbarians in a row. Coupled with the efforts of Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan, and Chen Jiao, the entire county was in great order, and the people in the territory lived in peace. Bandits disappeared, and Gao Cheng's reputation spread to dozens of counties in Xu, Yang, and Jing prefectures.

Even the emperor who was far away in Luoyang became interested in Gao Cheng after receiving the battle report from Gao Cheng.Thinking of transferring him to Luoyang to serve.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others hurriedly persuaded the emperor through General He Jin to give up this idea.They still haven't forgotten that Gao Cheng was lucky enough to become the prefect of Lujiang, the absolute eunuch's henchman, through the door of Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang.Even if such a person made great contributions, he would never even think about entering the Luoyang God Capital.affect their plans.

At this time, the emperor's health seemed to be failing. In order to stabilize the imperial power, he accepted Taichang Liu Yan's advice and resettled the state shepherd, and made Liu Yan the Yizhou shepherd, Liu Yu the Youzhou shepherd, and Liu Biao the Jingzhou shepherd... The three herds of the Liu family acted as a barrier to consolidate the Han Dynasty.Later, the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan was established to take charge of the military power in the world.

After Gao Cheng got the news, he recovered from the long-term cultivation state.

"Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, unexpectedly appeared now, and the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan... Is the emperor knowing that his health is not good, and he is starting to pave the way for the next generation of emperors?"

Gao Cheng thought to himself, according to the records, after the emperor died, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang to take over the power, and the eight great families in the world had just wiped out the eunuchs, and this reckless man from Xiliang picked the peaches and stole the fruits of victory. Dissatisfied, they tried their best to escape from Luoyang.

Soon after, it will be the battle of the Kwantung princes to attack Dong Zhuo.
