Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 462
As Guangling City was breached, the spies hidden in the city quickly sent the news back to Xuzhou. After Tao Qian got the news, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Zhao Yu, Chen Gui and Chen Deng from the Guangling Chen Clan, the three soul-refining powerhouses defending the city, did not last even a day. How could Gao Cheng have such terrifying strength?

As time passed, the details of Gao Cheng's attack on Guangling City gradually spread out, and all the princes in the world who were concerned about the Yangzhou forces got the information.When they heard that Gao Cheng urged Chuanguo Yuxi to suppress Chen Gui's Sky Mirror, they were as shocked as Tao Qian and couldn't speak.

"At the beginning, Emperor Gao sacrificed Tianma in the Taimiao. Only the Liu family could not be crowned king, and he sealed the imperial jade seal with the blood of Tianma. Only the blood of Liu's blood can arouse the dragon spirit in the jade seal...Gao Cheng is a branch of the Gao family in Bohai , how could it be possible to sacrifice the jade seal?"

"Impossible, how is this possible! My Liu family's artifact has fallen into the hands of outsiders!"

"Only Liu's blood can move Yuxi. Could it be that Liu's blood is contained in Gao Cheng's body?"

Yuan Shao in Jizhou was shocked when he heard the news.Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Bei in Youzhou, Liu Yu, and Liu Yan in Yizhou were all unbelievable.He even doubted Gao Cheng's identity.

Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian, who were fighting Gao Cheng, felt panic about the Chuanguo Yuxi. When Wang Mang usurped the Han, his cultivation was unfathomable. Later the rise of Emperor Shizu Guangwu.An artifact directly caused Wang Mang to be beheaded.

If Gao Cheng can unleash the full power of Yuxi, with Yangzhou as his foundation, no one can go north to the Central Plains.It cannot be said that the great achievements of Emperor Guangwu at that time could be reproduced.

The three forces communicated with each other, and from the original loose alliance, the relationship became much closer. Even Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou secretly supported them.

Now Yuan Shao has not completely defeated the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, Cao Cao has just pacified Yanzhou, and has not yet grown up. All the princes are unwilling to see a very powerful Yangzhou appear.

Gao Cheng had a panoramic view of the movements of these princes through the embroidered clothes guard.There is nothing he can do about it. As the saying goes, Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. He first occupies Yangzhou, and then occupies the two Huaihe Rivers. If he defeats Yuan Shu next, he will become the strongest prince in the world.

Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and the two Huaihe Rivers were originally the site of Yuan Shu's peak period in history.Yuan Shu relied on the heritage of the Yuan family in Runan.Relying on such a territory, he continued to compete with Yuan Shao in Jizhou.It was once possible to seize the world.

However, Yuan Shu's character has great flaws. Relying on Yuan's background, he has a powerful force, but he can't consolidate his territory. He was defeated by Cao Cao many times, and finally died in defeat.

"Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, plus Yuan Shao and Cao Cao supporting me from behind! Most of the princes in the Kanto region have become my enemies..."

Gao Cheng thought to himself, but he didn't worry too much.After all, both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have their own unresolved enemies, and their territory does not border Yangzhou.My main enemies are still Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

For the next month, Gao Cheng sat in Guangling City and divided Guangling into two parts. Huaiyin and the northern county were handed over to Lu Su, and the south was handed over to Bu Zhi.Lu Su was born in Dongyang, Guangling.In the eyes of the family and common people in Guangling County, they are also their own people.

So during this period of time, the Yangzhou army attacked everywhere, and it didn't take much effort to occupy all the places south of the Huaihe River in Xuzhou, and even the three counties of Huailing, Xuyi, and Gaoshan in the south of Xiapi Kingdom were captured.

The south of the Huaihe River and the east of Jiangxia are all Gaocheng's territories.

On this day, in the backyard of the mansion, Gao Cheng was sitting in the gazebo with his eyes slightly closed, and the Chuan Guo Yuxi was floating in front of him, continuously emitting a misty golden light.A tiny golden dragon writhes up and down the jade seal.The dragon roared continuously.

Not far from him, Zhou Cang stood aside with a spear in his hand, without looking sideways. A group of armored guards stood around the pavilion in the backyard.

But when Zhou Cang heard the sound of the dragon's chant, his eyes fluctuated constantly, with deep awe.The Chuan Guo Yuxi represents the national fortune of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and has become a racial artifact representing the Han people.As long as the Han people see Yuxi, they will be moved.

Most of Gao Cheng's thoughts sank into the jade seal, and he kept nurturing and refining it with his soul, hoping to bring out more power of the jade seal.At this time, footsteps came from the door of the backyard, and a guard came quietly not far away.It seems that there is something to report.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang talked to the guard for a few words, then walked back with a change of expression.

After a while, Gao Cheng withdrew his thoughts from the jade seal. This jade seal contains five powerful forbidden methods. If the power is fully activated, it is still faintly above the three spiritual treasures of the Kunlun Taoist Palace in the gourd world.This supreme artifact cannot be fully mastered overnight.

"What's going on?" Gao Cheng raised his hand to take Yuxi back, his eyes fell on Zhou Cang, and asked indifferently.

Zhou Cang came forward to report: "My lord, there was news from the government office just now that Mi Zhu of Xuzhou led a fleet to the Huaihe River south, and there were Xuzhou soldiers and horses chasing after him, but Captain Lu came forward in time to rescue Mi's merchant ship. , now Mi Zhu is leading the fleet south to Guangling, and in three days, we will arrive at Guangling City!"

When Gao Cheng left Huai'an and went south to Lujiang, Mi Zhu couldn't let go of his family property in Xuzhou, so he only let his second brother and younger sister go with him, and he himself was still in Xuzhou as a private driver.In the past two years, Yangzhou has brought a lot of help both openly and secretly.

Now that Gao Cheng, as a shepherd of Yangzhou, invaded Guangling County, he and Tao Qian had completely torn skins, and Mi Zhu could not gain a foothold in Xuzhou, so he had to pack up his belongings secretly and escape from Xiapi in time.

"Oh? Brother Zizhong is here! When he arrives, I will meet him personally!"

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Gao Cheng's face. It was thanks to Mi Zhu that he started his own business. If there was no support from the other party, his rise would have been delayed by at least one or two years.

The relationship between Gao Cheng and the Mi family is known to everyone in Xuzhou's family.Especially Tao Qian knew it well.In the past, Tao Qian was able to hold back because of Mi's influence in Xuzhou.

But now Zhao Yu died in battle, the Guangling Chen family was destroyed, and Guangling County fell into the hands of Yangzhou.No matter how good-tempered Tao Qian was, he couldn't bear to attack Gao Cheng's ally Mi Shi.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu was well prepared.Except for the shops and land that cannot be taken away, most of the family wealth was loaded on board and transferred from Xuzhou.

……

As Zhou Cang said, three days later, Mi Zhu and his fleet arrived on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake on time.It is still dozens of miles away from Yangzhou.

On the vast lake, more than a dozen large ships slowly came with a large number of servants, money, food, and treasures.On the bow of the boat, Mi Zhu looked at the looming city in the distance, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

The Mi family has been operating in Xuzhou for a hundred years, but they had to abandon their roots and come to Yangzhou now.When Mi Zhu was approaching Guangling City, his firm heart was suddenly shaken.The Mi family is considered an outsider in Yangzhou, so they can only rely on Gao Cheng. If Gao Cheng can achieve great things, the Mi family can also prosper.But once he loses, the Mi family will fall into the abyss.

"No! Probably not! Gao Cheng is capable of writing and martial arts, open-minded, and knowledgeable! He has the legacy of Gaozu and Shizu in him, and he is a rare hero in the world. What's more, he has already occupied Yangzhou , take Guangling, no matter how bad it is, you can defend yourself across the river, and the possibility of defeat is extremely small!" Mi Zhu thought wildly in his mind.
