Chapter 21: One Million Dollars (3rd Update)

The southeast direction of Xu County is Peiguo, and then cross Yingshui to the east, passing through more than a dozen cities and traveling thousands of miles to reach Xuzhou. I don't know how many mountains and rivers I have to cross on the way.

However, with Gao Cheng, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao in charge, their team did not encounter much danger, and came to the junction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou a few months later.

After the largest Yellow Turban army in Yuzhou was defeated, the million-strong army disappeared, adding to the prestige of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and even the cavalry captain Cao Cao was famous.

After the army was dispersed, countless small groups of Yellow Turban rebels scattered to the Central Plains, some wanted to continue to take refuge in other Yellow Turban commanders, and some turned into bandits and robbers in order to survive, plundering villages and forts. These people even joined forces to form an army of around tens of thousands of people. However, they did not dare to attack the city, so as not to attract elite officers and soldiers to clean it up.

With bandits and soldiers of this scale, Gao Cheng naturally would not fight with them with three hundred subordinates, so as not to lose too much of the elite soldiers he had just trained.

"Finally arrived in Xuzhou!" Gao Tai breathed a sigh of relief, after such a long and arduous trek, everyone was tired, but when he saw the three hundred vigorous and strong subordinates behind him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

Along the way, I encountered many enemies, and after many battles, I even encountered three waves of bandits in one day. However, even if he encountered many enemies, he did not let Gongzi and Zhou Cang make a move, but took three hundred men to fight hard with the other party, and finally won the victory.

Losses were inevitable during the fight, but these were within a controllable range, and with Gao Cheng's permission, he quickly absorbed the strength of some scattered homeless people and replenished them to three hundred. Now these three hundred soldiers are all brave men who have cultivated the golden bell jar to the first layer.

In the past few months, he and Zhang Chen, Zhou Cang, and others have worked hard to train the troops, and his own combat experience in commanding troops has become very rich, and he has truly grown up and become a qualified general.

"It's a pity that when I passed by Qian County, I didn't meet Xu Chu!" Gao Cheng turned his head and glanced in the direction where Peiguo was, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

When passing through Peiguo, he heard that He Yi and He Man regathered the defeated soldiers and gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but when these two attacked the dock fort where the Xu family was located, they provoked Xu Chu, the killing god.

Xu Chu immediately took more than 1,000 private soldiers of the Xu family to defeat He Yi and He Man for dozens of miles, so that the other party no longer dared to offend the dock fort of the local wealthy clan at will.

After the news came out, Xu Chu's reputation instantly spread throughout Peiguo and was noticed by those powerful families.

Gao Cheng is now just a child of a small family, he doesn't have any official position, even if he sees Xu Chu, it will be in vain, Xu Chu is not Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, he himself leads the Xu family's thousands of private soldiers, and his own strength has also reached the extraordinary realm. If it weren't for the hegemon of one side, I wouldn't want him to take refuge and serve.

"Let's go! Let's go to Xiapi first, and see if there are any bandits and bandits on the road, the yellow scarves in Xuzhou are not too serious, and the bandits here should have some money, food, and grass! When we get to Xiapi, buy some clothes and weapons first, and change the clothes on our bodies, otherwise others will still think that we are a group of homeless people!" Gao Cheng didn't continue to think about it, his eyes swept over the mountains of the people under him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Killed dozens of bandits and Yellow Turban rebels in Yuzhou, but unfortunately most of the other party was a broken Yellow Turban, and there was no oil and water on his body, except for adding some fate points to him, he didn't get much loot. All his subordinates are still in rags, and if they are not in good spirits, they are almost no different from the homeless.

Fortunately, the three hundred people had already trained the first layer of the Golden Bell Jar, increased their strength, and scattered to the mountains and forests to hunt many wild beasts, barely filling their stomachs, and did not need to think about the problem of food and grass for the time being.

Xuzhou is close to the south of the river and borders the river, and the rivers in the territory are flat and flat, densely populated, and very prosperous.

However, this prosperity was only confined to the vicinity of the city, and there were still many bandits in the vast mountains. These bandits have been entrenched in the mountains and forests all year round, and they have robbed and killed many merchants and passers-by, and have accumulated a large amount of money and materials.

In addition to the most precious and expensive cultivation exercises in Gao Cheng's hands, there are only these three hundred subordinates, and the rest, whether it is money or food and grass, are extremely scarce. Just kill the bandits, and use their accumulation to make up for their own shortcomings.

......

Three days later, under a mountain forest, Gao Cheng rode a horse and looked ahead, the shouting and killing sound from the mountain forest in front gradually subsided, this place is close to the avenue, and hundreds of bandits on the mountain occupy the mountain forest to rob the house. After finding out the news, he immediately led everyone to come here at the expense of dozens of miles. sent Gao Tai, Zhou Cang and two hundred elites to attack the cottage.

With Zhou Cang, a seventh-level warrior who practiced strength, these bandits were no match no matter how many they numbered, and at this time, Gao Tai hurriedly returned from the mountain with a few people, with irrepressible joy on his face.

This cottage actually has 200 stones of grain and grass, as well as more than 70 spears and more than 20 shields...... In addition to these, there is also a million dollars! I don't know how many people and merchants these robbers have robbed! How can they accumulate so much money and food!"

After Gao Tai said about this harvest, everyone was stunned for a moment, even Gao Cheng was no exception, not to mention the weapons of guns, shields, swords, etc., two hundred stones of grain and grass were enough for all of them to eat for more than half a month, and the most important thing was one million and five baht. When Gao Cheng's original body was in Guangling, the price of a bucket of rice was dozens of dollars, and if you save some food, you can let a common person support it for three or four days.

"One million dollars!" Pei Yuanshao, who was not far away, showed a trace of greed in his eyes, money was moving, and when he heard such a large sum of money, he suddenly felt a wave of greed in his heart,

However, when he saw Gao Cheng's figure, the thoughts in his heart became sober as if he had been splashed with cold water.

Because he was a little hesitant when he took refuge at the beginning, in addition to helping train troops and killing roadblocks during this time, Gao Cheng kept him by his side and did not give him a chance to escape.

In the past few months, he has slowly felt that with Gao Cheng, a powerful family master, the Guangling Gao family may be able to rise to become a county wang family in the future, and it seems that it is not bad to be able to take refuge in such a family!

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were both born in the Yellow Turban, although their strength is not weak, their identities are too embarrassing, and they can't find a way to join a powerful family, so instead of going to the mountains and forests to become bandits, it is better to hide in the Gao family and cultivate slowly. As long as he can break through the realm and become an extraordinary powerhouse. When the time comes, the world will be at its mercy.
