As Guangling City was breached, the spies hidden in the city quickly transmitted the news back to Xuzhou, and Tao Qian couldn't help but be shocked when he got the news.

Zhao Yu and Chen Qi and Chen Deng of the Guangling Chen Clan, the three powerhouses of the soul refining level defended the city, and they didn't even hold on for a day, how could Gao Cheng have such terrifying strength?

Time gradually passed, and the details of Gao Cheng's attack on Guangling City gradually spread, and all the princes in the world who paid attention to the forces in Yangzhou got the information. When they heard that Gao Cheng urged the jade seal of the country and suppressed Chen Qi's Heavenly Mirror, they were all shocked and speechless like Tao Qian.

"At the beginning, Emperor Gao killed Tianma in Taimiao to sacrifice, and he was not allowed to be crowned king unless Liu, and he used the blood of Tianma to ban the jade seal of the country...... Gao Cheng is a side branch of the Bohai Gao clan, how can he sacrifice and refine the jade seal?"

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

"Only the bloodline of the Liu family can urge the jade seal, could it be said that Gao Cheng contains the bloodline of the Liu family in his body?"

Yuan Shao of Jizhou was shocked when he got the news. Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Bei in Youzhou, Liu Yu, and Liu Yan in Yizhou, all couldn't believe it. even doubted Gao Cheng's identity.

Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian, who were at war with Gao Cheng, felt a panic in their hearts about the jade seal of the country, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the cultivation was unfathomable, if it were not for the strong man of the Liu family who used the jade seal of the country to hit it hard, there would be no rise of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the later dynasty. An artifact directly led to Wang Mang being killed.

If Gao Cheng can exert the full power of the jade seal, with Yangzhou as the foundation, no one can go north to the Central Plains. It is impossible to say that it can reproduce the great cause of Emperor Guangwu at the beginning.

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

Now that Yuan Shao has not completely defeated the combined forces of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, Cao Cao has just pacified Yanzhou, and they have not yet grown up, and all the princes do not want to see a very powerful Yangzhou appear.

The movements of these princes, Gao Cheng can see it through the embroidered clothes. He can't do anything about this, as the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, he will occupy Yangzhou first, and then take all the two Huai, if he defeats Yuan Shu next, he will become the strongest prince in the world.

Yangzhou, Yuzhou, plus two Huai, this is the original history of the peak of Yuan Shu period of the territory. Yuan Shu relied on the heritage of the Yuan clan in Runan. With such a territory, he constantly competed with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. At one time, there was a possibility of seizing the world.

However, Yuan Shu's character has great flaws, relying on Yuan's heritage to have a strong power, but he was unable to consolidate his territory, and was repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao, and finally died in defeat.

"Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, plus Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who supported in the back! Most of the princes of Kwantung have become my enemies......"

Gao Cheng said secretly in his heart, but he didn't worry too much. After all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both had their own enemies that had not been resolved, and their territory did not border Yangzhou. His main enemies are still Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

In the next month, Gao Cheng sat in Guangling City and divided Guangling into two parts, Huaiyin and the northern county were handed over to Lusu, and the south was handed over to Buqi. Lu Su is a native of Dongyang, Guangling. In the eyes of the family and the people of Guangling County, they are also their own people.

Therefore, during this time, the Yangzhou army attacked everywhere, and it did not take much effort to occupy all the places south of the Huai River in Xuzhou, and even the three county towns of Huailing, Xuyi, and Gaoshan in the south of Xiapi were also captured.

South of the Huai River and east of Jiangxia are all Gaocheng's territory.

On this day, in the backyard of the mansion, Gao Cheng sat in the pavilion, his eyes slightly closed, and the jade seal of the country floated in front of him, constantly exuding a golden light. A tiny golden dragon tossed up and down the jade seal. Constantly making a dragon moan.

Not far from him, Zhou Cang stood aside with a spear in his hand, not squinting, and a team of ironclad guards stood around the pavilion in the backyard, these guards had straight backs and stood upright, without the slightest sound.

However, when Zhou Cang heard the dragon's groan, his eyes continued to fluctuate, with deep awe. The jade seal 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 the jade seal, they will be moved.

Most of Gao Cheng's thoughts sank into the jade seal, and he continued to use his divine soul to nourish and refine it, in order to exert more power of the jade seal. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the backyard, and a guard quietly came not far away. Something seems to be in the news.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang talked to this guard for a few words, and then walked back with a moving expression.

After half a ring, Gao Cheng withdrew his mind from the jade seal, this jade seal contained five powerful forbidden methods, and if the power was fully opened, it was faintly still above the three treasures of the Lingbao Ruyi of the Kunlun Dao Palace in the gourd world. This supreme artifact is not something that can be fully mastered overnight.

"What's going on?" Gao Cheng raised his hand to take back the jade seal, his eyes fell on Zhou Cang, and asked lightly.

Zhou Cang stepped forward to report: "My lord, just now there was news from the government, saying that Mi Zhu of Xuzhou led the fleet south to the Huai River, and there were Xuzhou soldiers and horses chasing after him, but Captain Lu stepped forward in time to support and save the Mi merchant ships, and now Mi Zhu is taking the fleet south to Guangling, and in three days, he will arrive in Guangling City!"

At the beginning, Gao Cheng left Huai'an and went south to Lujiang, Mi Zhu couldn't let go of the family business in Xuzhou, so he only let his second brother and younger sister follow, and he was still serving as a driver in Xuzhou. In the past two years, he has brought a lot of help to Yangzhou.

Now Gao Cheng, as a pastor in Yangzhou, invaded Guangling County, and Tao Qian completely tore his face, and Mi Zhu could not gain a foothold in Xuzhou, so he could only secretly pack up his belongings and escape from Xiapi in time.

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

Gao Cheng's face suddenly appeared with joy, thanks to Mi Zhu, if there is no funding from the other party, the time for his rise will be pushed back by at least one or two years.

The relationship between Gao Cheng and Mi is known to everyone in Xuzhou. Especially Tao Qian knows it. In the past, Tao Qian saw Mi's influence in Xuzhou, and he could endure it without doing anything.

And now Zhao Yu died in battle, the Guangling Chen clan was destroyed, and Guangling County fell into the hands of Yangzhou. No matter how good Tao Qian's temper is, he can't bear to attack Gao Cheng's ally Mi Clan.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu was prepared. In addition to the shops and land that could not be taken away, most of the family wealth was loaded on the ship 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. There are still dozens of miles away from Yangzhou.

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

Mi has been operating in Xuzhou for a hundred years, but now he has to abandon his roots and come to Yangzhou. When Mi Zhu was approaching Guangling City, his originally firm heart suddenly wavered. Mi is an outsider in Yangzhou, and can only rely on Gao Cheng, if Gao Cheng can achieve great things, Mi can also prosper. But once he is defeated, the Mi clan will fall into the abyss.

Gao Cheng is capable of writing and martial arts, open-minded, and has the wisdom to know people! He has the legacy of Gao Zu and Shi Zu, and he is a rare hero in the world. What's more, he has already occupied Yangzhou and captured Guangling, no matter how bad he is, he can defend himself across the river, and the possibility of defeat is extremely small!" Mi Zhu thought wildly in his heart.
