No one will oppose Gao Cheng's decision, and now the prestige of the Han Dynasty has not completely declined, even the geniuses of the world such as Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan, and Chen Jiao also have a deep sense of identity with the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo, who deposed the emperor, did not have the slightest good impression. Gao Cheng decided to go north and meet the Kanto Heroes and their intentions.

Xi Zhicai nodded in his heart, if Gao Cheng was ready to stand still, he would be ready to persuade him, now Dong Zhuo has become the public enemy of the world, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have raised troops on behalf of the world, and Gao Cheng has no reputation at the moment, only by going north to the alliance can the people of the world know who Gao Cheng of Lujiang is.

In this world, in addition to strength cultivation, the most important thing is fame, as long as Gao Cheng has made his reputation, when the world is chaotic, those talented and famous people will take the initiative to come to run.

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Youzibu is sitting in Lujiang, I don't have to worry about it! This time, I will take Xi Zhicai as my military advisor, Chen Jiao as the army, Lu Dai, Chen Dao, and Zhou Tai as the generals, and lead 20,000 elites to go north with me to join the alliance!"

Lujiang County was his base camp and could not afford to be lost, so he left Zhang Zhao and Gao Tai to sit in the rear, Jiang Qin replaced Lu Dai to take charge of the naval army, and Xu Xuan sat in Longshu to guard against the mountain barbarians.

"Xuande Gong, you and I will join forces and go north together! I will lend you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and when you attack Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, I will recommend you to Your Majesty and fulfill the promise made when I was in Luoyang!"

Gao Cheng set his eyes on Liu Bei, when he went north, he didn't dare to leave Liu Bei behind, he knew the ability of the founding monarch of Shu Han very well, and he couldn't despise it in the slightest.

Liu Bei straightened up, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Thank you!"

Whether it was Gao Cheng or Liu Bei, both of them understood in their hearts that at that time, Liu Bei's three brothers went south to Lujiang to work for Gao Cheng, which was just a transaction. Now Gao Cheng is ready to lend Liu Bei 5,000 soldiers and horses according to the agreement, and is willing to recommend him as an official official of the imperial court. is enough to offset the hard work of the three brothers in Lujiang in the past few years.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could accept this result. At the beginning, the three brothers died in Luoyang, and there was no soldier under them, but now there are 5,000 soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as accumulating a little strength.

With him and Zhang Fei as generals, 5,000 soldiers and horses can be equal to 50,000 troops. If there is another foothold, it can develop rapidly according to the model of Lujiang.

In fact, even if there is no Gao Cheng's recommendation and borrowing troops, Liu Bei will not be too disappointed. In the past few years of training in Lujiang, he has the experience of governing the local area, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ability to command the army has also been greatly tempered. After going out, follow Gao Cheng's method to recruit talents and appease the homeless...... It won't take long to recreate a prosperous place.

......

In two days, Zhang Zhao continued to coordinate materials in Shu County, allocated grain and grass equipment, mobilized 15,000 soldiers from Longshu and Yangquan, plus 5,000 elites trained by Gao Cheng, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom had cultivated the Golden Bell Jar and could be a ten-strong soldier.

Jiang Qin then led the navy to the south along the waterway, preparing to take Gao Cheng and these soldiers to cross the Huaishui along the water and enter the territory of Yuzhou. On that day, the sky was clear, and groups of heavily armed soldiers boarded the ship.

Gao Cheng was wearing a black robe, Zhou Cang was holding a Kunwu sword on the side, and Pei Yuanshao was carrying a hard bow. Zhang Zhao and Gao Tai and others escorted him to the river like stars and moons.

"That's it!Zibu, Uncle Gao, Lujiang County will be handed over to you!" Gao Cheng waved his hand to make everyone stop their pace.

Zhang Zhao looked serious, saluted respectfully, and said: "Let you rest assured, with me, there will be absolutely no accident in Lujiang! I wish you a victory in the north and make another great contribution to the Han Dynasty!"

Gao Cheng smiled, he was still more relieved about Zhang Zhao, he waved his sleeves, turned around and strode onto the boat. The three generals Lu Dai, Chen Dao, and Zhou Tai, as well as the two military divisions of Xi Zhicai and Chen Jiao, followed by those who joined the army.

Liu Bei Guan and Zhang had already boarded another big ship at this time, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were standing on the deck watching this scene. At this time, Guan Yu's majestic body strode over. When he came to the two of them, he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I have already checked the five thousand soldiers sent by the high envoy, all of them are strong and strong, and with a little training, they are an elite soldier! In addition, there are five thousand armor weapons, and a whole ten thousand stones of grain and grass!"

Zhang Fei looked overjoyed and said: "The high envoy is really interesting! It is not in vain that we have worked hard for him for the past few years! With soldiers and horses, weapons, and grain and grass, our three brothers can make contributions wherever they go!"

Liu Bei's face was calm, so that people couldn't see his thoughts, he said lightly: "Second brother and third brother, there is no foundation, soldiers, horses, grain and grass are all water without source and wood without roots, if our brothers want to make meritorious contributions, they must make contributions in this battle against Dong, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will reward the meritorious ministers, and we will be able to gain a foothold and lay a foundation!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both nodded, agreeing with Liu Bei's words.

At this time, Gao Cheng took a group of civil and military officers to board the big ship, and then Jiang Qin gave a loud order, and dozens of big ships pulled anchor and set sail, along the waterway that went south that year, to the land of the alliance of the Kanto heroes, sour jujube!

The fleet passed through the big river, the river was roaring, dozens of big boats lined up in a long line in the river, and after more than ten days, the river suddenly widened, reaching the confluence of Feishui and Shaopo, and then north was the Huai River, the first tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Huai River is the dividing line between Lujiang and Runan County, and now the Central Plains government is chaotic, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and Runan, the original largest county in Yuzhou, has withered. A large number of people dispersed to Xuzhou in the east and Lujiang in the south, bringing abundant labor to both places.

Gao Cheng came to the deck, looked forward from a distance, and saw a wide river crisscrossing the east and west, the water vapor was vast, and a thin layer of water mist shrouded above the Huai River.

"Youping, the place in front of you is the place you used to be in the past, this can be regarded as a revisit to the old place!" Gao Cheng said with a smile, his eyes falling on Zhou Tai beside him.

At the beginning, Zhou Tai led the water thieves up and down the Huai River, and it was also a coincidence that he took refuge in himself, and now a few years have passed, Zhou Tai has been trained by penance, and is already a strong man in the realm of extraordinary refining. In Lujiang County, the strength is second only to Chen Dao.

Zhou Tai smiled when he heard this, and also showed a trace of emotion, and said: "If it weren't for the lord, maybe I would still be a water thief on the Huai River now! It is my Zhou Tai's luck to meet the lord!"

Jiang Qin, who was beside him, heard this and thought it was true. He has the same identity as Zhou Tai, and he used to be a water thief. Such an identity is like a puddle of mud in front of those wealthy families. Only under Gao Cheng's hands can they have the opportunity to show their abilities, make meritorious achievements, and glorify their ancestors.
