After the banquet, many Lujiang officials left one after another, if nothing else, Gao Cheng's name will soon spread all over Lujiang, and everyone will know that the new envoy is tough. It's not easy to get along with.

After the outsiders left, Gao Cheng immediately asked Pei Yuanshao to lead three hundred elite soldiers and one thousand soldiers to rush towards Linhu County, Zhang Xun, the strongest man of the Linhu Zhang family, is still in Luoyang, and the Zhang family has no noteworthy masters except for a seventh-level warrior and two hundred soldiers.

And Pei Yuanshao also practiced the mixed yuan gong passed on by Gao Cheng at this time, and he had already broken through the bottleneck of the seventh layer of cultivation and reached the eighth layer of artistic conception, and his strength had increased several times compared to before.

"Envoy, the territory of the Lujiang River is vast, among which the Dabie Mountains crisscross the north and south, occupying most of the western part of the Lujiang River, with a population of millions, Captain Zhang is stationed in Longshu with two thousand men and horses, it is not a long-term solution, we must quickly recruit soldiers and brave!" Zhang Zhao immediately began to think about Gao Cheng after becoming a subordinate of the county guard.

Liu Bei on the side studied under Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi served as a taishou in Jiujiang and Lujiang back then, and quelled the barbarian rebellion in Lujiang, so he was no stranger to Lujiang County.

The Shanman of Lujiang County and the Shanman of Wuling County have the same origin, and are collectively referred to as Wulingman. There are also some barbarians located in Danyang, Huiji, Yuzhang and other places, these barbarians are called Shanyue. It is said to be a descendant of the ancient Yue Kingdom.

The number of Wulingman is relatively small, and the number of Shanyue in Jiangnan and other places is several times more than that of Wulingman. These barbarians could not survive in the mountains and forests, and often went down the mountains to plunder grain, grass and people.

"Local heroes and water thieves are easy to solve, but this mountain barbarian relies on the poisonous miasma of the mountains and forests, and is proficient in poisonous skills, so it is difficult to enter the mountains and forests to destroy the other party!"

Liu Bei thought about it, if he was the Taishou of Lujiang, it seemed that there was no good way to deal with these mountain barbarians, and the only thing he could do was to repair the city, organize the armament, and train the soldiers. Passively resist the invasion of the barbarians.

Xi Zhicai smiled faintly and said: "Brother Zibu, the envoy is ready to do this, but after you count the money and food of the entire Lujiang, we know our own family background, so that we can recruit soldiers with confidence!"

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, and said: "According to the law, Lujiang County can recruit 55,000 county soldiers, let's recruit according to this number first, Zibu, and then there will be a large number of displaced people from Runan to cross the river to the south, you have to prepare to settle, fields, taxes, cattle and horses, money and grain, these things are all handed over to you!"

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this, Gao Cheng handed over almost all the civil affairs of Lujiang County to him, this is to use him as a coolie!

However, he was not disgusted by this situation in his heart, and even had a feeling of being valued and trusted. As a minister, my favorite is this kind of master who dares to delegate power. And as an orthodox Confucian scholar, he can also slowly increase his heroic spirit by sorting out various things in internal affairs, and he can get a lot of benefits from cultivation, so as to grow rapidly.

Gao Cheng arranged everything and felt relaxed all over. He secretly said in his heart: "There are Zhang Zhao and Xu Xuan in the text, Lu Dai and Zhou Tai in the martial arts, and the two guest generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so I don't have to worry about it anymore." Next, I finally have time to cultivate slowly!"

He has not forgotten why he wanted to dominate the world in the first place.

If he wanted to be an emperor, he had already done it for ten years in the previous world, and he could continue to do it, but he didn't have much nostalgia for it in his heart. Although the days of waking up to the power of the world and being drunk on the knees of beautiful women are good, they are not worth mentioning compared with longevity.

The emperor has eight wildernesses and four seas, and he can move mountains and reclaim the sea in one word. With a casual order, you can gather countless rare treasures and elixirs in the world that assist in cultivation. The world is beautiful and you can take it, but if your life is gone, you can't enjoy these things no matter how good they are.

His purpose in fighting for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms World is still to cultivate, and with the worship of the whole world, Gao Cheng's cultivation speed can be thousands of miles a day. If he could reach the Ninth Rank of Refining Gang and break through to a higher level, his lifespan would be extended several times.

Fighting for the world is the means, and cultivation is the goal. Gao Cheng is very clear about these points.

After handing over most of the tedious things, he had enough time to cultivate, and after returning from the previous world, his realm had been in the innate first level, and he was still accumulating strength without breaking through.

He cultivated a total of eight innate skills, which are said to be able to condense the Taoist Yuan Shen, but no matter how subtle the exercises, it also takes time to cultivate.

......

In the winter of the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, Lujiang Taishou Gao Cheng took office, and on the same day he captured Cao Zhang Tao, and three days later sent someone to attack the Linhu Zhang family, and Lujiang was shaken.

The Linhu Zhang clan is the largest snake in Lujiang, and without this leader, all the local wealthy clans dare not stab. was intimidated by Taishou's ruthless methods, and he had no intention of resisting the various orders of the new Gong Cao Zhang Zhao.

Subsequently, a large number of displaced people from Runan entered the Lujiang River, with the efforts of Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan and Liu Bei, these people were placed in Linhu County, clearing the land, appeasing the displaced people, sorting out taxes, encouraging agriculture, these complicated things, Zhang Zhao did not have much experience at the beginning and was a little negligent, but he grew rapidly, and in less than a few days, he was able to do things like a stream, and slowly put the entire Lujiang River into operation.

The Linhu Zhang family has abundant assets and stores nearly 100,000 stone of grain and grass, with the support of these grains and grasses, Gao Cheng instructed to set up a new battalion in Shu County, recruit soldiers from the homeless people and the common people, and soon recruited 50,000 soldiers.

After these soldiers trained, some of them went to Longshu and let Zhang Fei command to resist the mountain barbarians. The other part was transferred to Lu Dai to continue to strengthen the navy and establish a foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, and the navy was the top priority. 10,000 sailors are not enough.

In the third year of Zhongping, the water thief Zheng Bao came to Lujiang and wanted to plunder the county, but was resisted by Lu Dai and others.

There are about 100,000 Chaohu water thieves, a large number of troops, and there are many masters who have practiced more than seven layers in charge, Lu Dai can only defend and send people to Shu County for help.

After Gao Cheng received the information, he sent Guan Yu. Guan Yu arrived at Chaohu Water Village, killed more than a dozen thieves in a row in the battlefield, and used the Qinglong Sword Gang, dozens of feet in the air, and cut the thief leader Zheng Bao and the boat in half. Lu Dai took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to attack, and the Chaohu water thieves were defeated! More than 10,000 people were killed, and the rest of the people surrendered.

The troops under Gao Cheng's command increased dramatically in an instant.

In the autumn of the third year of Zhongping, the bandit Huang Sui, who was strangled by Guan Yu and others, colluded with the mountain barbarians, led hundreds of thousands of barbarians out of the mountains to plunder grain and grass, and came to the city of Longshu.

Gao Cheng brought Xi Zhicai, Guan Yu and 30,000 elites to help, and after joining Zhang Fei, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the vanguard to break through hundreds of thousands of mountain barbarian troops. Surrender more than 100,000 barbarians.

Xu Xuan was appointed as Long Shuling, and these mountain barbarians were organized into households and people, and the elite were selected to be included in the army. Gao Cheng's power has expanded a lot. And after a series of battles, a large number of fate forces swarmed, directly making the fate points exceed two million.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth year of Zhongping.

In five years, Gao Cheng continuously solved the dangers of Haoqiang, water thieves, and mountain barbarians, coupled with the efforts of Zhang Zhao, Xu Xuan, and Chen Jiao, the entire county showed the appearance of great governance, the people in the territory lived in peace, and the bandits were extinct, and Gao Cheng's reputation spread to dozens of counties in Xu, Yang, and Jing Prefectures.

Even the emperor who was far away in Luoyang, after getting the battle report from Gao Cheng, became interested in him. Thinking about transferring him to Luoyang.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others hurriedly persuaded the emperor through the general He Jin to dispel this idea. They haven't forgotten until now that Gao Cheng was through the door of Zhang Rang, the middle servant, and he was lucky enough to become the Taishou of Lujiang, an absolute eunuch. No matter how great a person makes a contribution, he will never want to enter the Luoyang Divine Capital. affect their plans.

At this time, the emperor's body seemed to be no longer good, in order to stabilize the imperial power, he accepted the advice of Liu Yan of Taichang, reset the state pastor, and took Liu Yan as the Yizhou pastor, Liu Yu as the Youzhou pastor, and Liu Biao as the Jingzhou pastor...... With Liu's three animal husbands as a barrier, consolidate the Han River. Later, he established the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan and was in charge of the military power of the world.

After Gao Cheng got the news, he recovered from his long-term cultivation state.

"Liu Biao, the Jingzhou pastor, actually appeared now, and there is also the eighth captain of Xiyuan...... Did the emperor know that his health was not good and began to pave the way for the next generation of emperors?"

Gao Cheng secretly thought to himself, according to the records, after the death of the emperor, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang to control the power, and the eight great families in the world had just eliminated the eunuchs, and they were picked peaches by this reckless man from Xiliang and stole the fruits of victory.

Not long after, it was a great battle in which the Kwantung princes joined forces to defeat Dong Zhuo.
