Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 366 Three Threats
Shouchun is the center of Huainan. If the government of Yangzhou occupies this city, Gao Cheng is qualified to be the governor of Yangzhou and command the six counties of Yangzhou.

At this time, the world was in chaos, and princes from all over the country rose together, but these princes were not strong. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were supported by the Yuan family in Runan, only occupied Bohai and Nanyang at this time.Cao Cao, the later peerless hero, didn't even have a foothold at this time.Also attached to Yuan Shaoyang people breath.

Before these people had developed, Gao Cheng had already occupied Jiujiang and Lujiang, occupied the fertile land of Huainan, and was even able to dominate Yangzhou.After Xi Zhicai and Chen Dao invaded Shouchun, the news spread quickly, and reached the desks of all major forces in the world through caravans, magic circles, and Xinying.

"Zhuzi! How dare you do that?"

In Bohai Prefect's Mansion, Yuan Shao's face was very ugly when he got the news. At this time, news of the disappearance of the four elders of the Yuan family also spread, which made him even more furious.Angrily trembling hands and feet.

"I didn't expect that the scholar You Xue could establish such a foundation! What a hero! I am not as good as Cao Mengde!" Cao Cao was still staying in Chenliu at this time. He thought of his current situation and compared it with Gao Cheng. I couldn't help laughing wryly.

Not only Bohai and Chenliu, but when the news reached Xiangyang in Jingzhou and Xiapi in Xuzhou, Liu Biao and Tao Qian, the two masters of a state, showed fear on their faces.The speed of Gao Cheng's development is too fast. If there is no restriction, won't this young man from a small family want to sit on an equal footing with them?Oh, no, according to the will of the emperor, Gao Cheng is now the governor of Xuzhou, on an equal footing with them.

When the news of Gao Cheng's occupation of Shouchun spread, he had already arrived at the Governor's Mansion in the city. Xi Zhicai and Chen Dao reported the situation in the past few days. It is very rich, with a large amount of weapons and armor in the arsenal, as well as countless money and food.

"My lord, now that Shouchun is here, Xuzhou, Runan, and Jingzhou will never sit back and watch us expand calmly. We have to make preparations in advance!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.He is a wise man, and he thought of the consequences when he took down Shouchun. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the prefect and captain cannot cross counties to attack thieves without an edict.

With this justifiable reason for sending troops, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and the Yuan family in Runan, which border on Lujiang and Jiujiang, will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to suppress Lujiang.Perhaps other than these three places, there are other forces that want to suppress Lujiang.

Gao Cheng nodded. After getting the Chuanguo Yuxi, he had this kind of awareness. He asked: "The fourteen counties of Jiujiang County, Shouchun and Xiacai have been occupied by our army, and the other counties are under orders. When, what was your reaction?"

Chen Dao reported: "The magistrates of the four counties of Yinling, Dangtu, Xiquyang, and Ping'a have received orders to come to Shouchun to report on their duties. As for the other counties, they have not responded yet!"

There are a total of fourteen counties in Jiujiang County, Gao Cheng now only occupies six cities, and these six cities are the essence of the whole county, after hearing this, Gao Cheng had a smile on his face, quite satisfied.

"Okay! You can ignore the other counties for the time being, but Hefei County must be in your hands! Shuzhi, I appoint you as the captain of Jiujiang, and lead the troops to the south to capture Hefei first! Shock Jiangdong." Gao Cheng said in a deep voice.

Du Wei is the highest military rank in a county, with a rank of two thousand stones, Chen Dao has surpassed several ranks in an instant, and is on the rise.But Chen Dao has the ability to take up this position.A top general who can immediately step into the seventh level of the refining gang is qualified to sit in one side.

Chen Dao's expression was calm. After hearing the appointment, his eyes trembled slightly, he bowed deeply, and said, "The last general will definitely not disappoint the love of the lord!"

Then Chen Dao immediately went to the barracks and began to reorganize the more than 8 soldiers who had just been taken in. These soldiers and some county soldiers from Jiujiang County were his subordinates who went south to Hefei.

After Chen Dao left, Xi Zhi asked, "My lord, Chen Daonai is a top general. Would it be overkill for him to go to Hefei? After all, Xuzhou and Jingzhou are the powerful enemies that threaten us!"

Gao Cheng said: "As the saying goes, we must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. The other four counties of Yangzhou are located behind our army, and there are four first-class families among them. Only by sitting in the rear can we deal with other forces with peace of mind!"

Xi Zhicai was convinced by this reason, he nodded and said: "My lord is right! It's just that without General Chen Dao, only two extraordinary generals, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, are left in our army! We still have too few talents! "

Gao Cheng said: "There must be grass within ten steps, and there must be loyal men in a town of ten houses. There are countless heroes in the world. As long as our power continues to grow, we are not afraid of lacking talents! Tomorrow I will issue a recruitment list. With the fame gained in the alliance, some heroes should come to join us!"

Xi Zhicai showed a smile on his face, and said: "That's right, my lord went north this time, broke through Sishui, chased Dong Zhuo, and became famous all over the world. Once the recruitment list is published, there will definitely be rewards!"

Gao Cheng discussed with Xi Zhicai, and then ordered Jiang Qin to lead the fleet to Dangtu County to prevent Xuzhou soldiers from entering.Send people to urge Lu Dai and Zhou Tai to march quickly and go south quickly to avoid being intercepted.

According to the calculations of the two, Tao Qian did not have many famous generals under his command, and the threat was not great. The most important thing was that Xuzhou did not have a large-scale navy.If you want to attack, you can only march from Guangling.However, the county soldiers in Guangling County have not yet returned from Yuzhou, so they cannot send troops at all.

Although Runan County to the north of the Huaihe River is the foundation of the Yuan family, but with the Huaihe River as a barrier, there is no need to worry too much.The only one with the strength to threaten Lujiang is Jingzhou Mu Liubiao.

Jingzhou has a huge navy, even stronger than the Lujiang navy, and there are countless generals among them. Gao Cheng thinks of Jingzhou's Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Wenpin...these are all first-class generals, especially Huang Zhong, who is at this time At the peak of his strength, he may have reached the level of Lu Bu.

Such a top powerhouse can only be resisted by Gao Cheng himself.

Soon, more than ten days passed, and Shouchun looked very calm. Gao Cheng was relieved that Lu Dai and Zhou Tai escorted [-] people with soldiers and horses, and they had returned to the On the Lujiang River, there was no one blocking it on the road.

After the two returned, Gao Cheng immediately transferred Lu Dai to Shouchun and let him sit in the city, while he returned to Lujiang, waiting for the forces hidden in the dark to make moves.Especially pay attention to Jingzhou's actions.
