Chapter 42: The Rise of the Mountains (Part 1)
Day 3, early in the morning. From the window, there was the chirping of birds, the faint sunlight sprinkled the earth, and the fresh air of the plants and trees slowly diffused, making the flowers and plants in the courtyard look vibrant.
In the room, Gao Cheng opened his eyes and glanced at the girl beside him, the girl was still asleep and had not woken up, her skin was like clotted fat, her appearance was pure and gorgeous, and a trace of tears could be faintly seen in her closed eyes.
He quietly covered the girl's cheek with his right hand, wiped away the tears, then stood up, put on a garment, and walked outside.
As soon as Gao Cheng's figure left the room, the girl on the bed opened her eyes, looked at his back, Ruyu's cheeks slowly reddened, and then buried her cheeks in the soft quilt on her body.
In the backyard of the mansion, after Gao Cheng bathed and changed clothes, he just walked out of the door and saw a beautiful and slender figure in the pavilion not far away.
Hearing footsteps from behind, the other party turned around, revealing a beautiful and flawless cheek, she was Da Qiao, one of Gao Cheng's wives this time.
"Husband!" Da Qiao combed the bun that represented the marriage, and after seeing Gao Cheng, he stepped forward with a smile on his face. It can be seen that Da Qiao has a gentle personality and has no dissatisfaction with this family affair.
Gao Cheng also smiled, stepped forward and walked side by side with Da Qiao, while admiring the flowers and plants in the backyard, they were also talking to each other gently, two days have passed since they got married, Gao Cheng has enjoyed all the gentleness in the past two days, the Qiao sisters are gentle and lovely, and the other is smart and smart. It's all a rare beauty. After Gao Cheng officially got married, Gao Ying also handed over the power of the inner house to Da Qiao, and everything seemed uneventful.
Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai were also very interested and did not come to disturb, which made Gao Cheng very relaxed these days.
After half a ring, Gao Cheng pulled Da Qiao to the lake pavilion, admired the lotus flowers in the lake, the warm sunlight shone on the lake, sparkling, reflecting layers of golden light, in the center of the lake, the lotus flowers bloomed, the breeze was light, the lotus flowers swayed, rippling out the pond full of spring.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the distance.
Gao Cheng's ears moved, and when he heard a voice in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhang Changshi has something to ask to see again, I thought I could spend more time with you, but it seems that there will be no such time in the future!"
Da Qiao bit her lip lightly and said, "My husband's great cause has not yet been accomplished, so naturally we must focus on big things!
Gao Cheng patted her jade hand, didn't say anything more, waved her hand to beckon the maids standing in the distance, and asked them to wait for Da Qiao to return. He straightened his clothes and strode out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Xu Xuan, Lu Dai and others looked impatient, but they were all stopped outside by Xu Chu and others, Xu Chu had a wooden face, wearing heavy armor, holding a long-handled tiger roaring knife, allowing Zhang Zhao and others to be so eager, and they didn't have any looks, blocking the courtyard gate to death, and no one was allowed to enter.
"General Xu, I have something important to see the lord, get out of the way!" Xu Xuan shouted eagerly.
Xu Chu didn't move, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I want to see the lord, wait for the report first, before the lord speaks, no one can step into the courtyard!"
After Xu Chu took refuge, Gao Cheng promoted him to the general of the army, and Zhou Cang, who was originally serving by his side, was appointed as the general of Zhichong and was sent to the army as a deputy general. With Xu Chu guarding the door, Gao Cheng no longer had to worry about any person who had cultivated entering the mansion.
Xu Chu's strength is as high as the ninth layer of Liangang, and no one will give face to guard the door in person, Xu Xuan, Xi Zhicai, and Zhang Zhao can only wait at the door even if they are eager.
......
At this time, Gao Cheng walked out. When Zhang Zhao saw it, he immediately put a little unhappiness in his heart behind him, and hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Lord, the big thing is not good, there is news from the three counties of Danyang, Yuzhang, and Huiji, there are millions of Shanyue barbarians who have come down the mountain to loot, and have broken through several county seats, killed officials, and plundered the people. We must hurry up and send troops to fight for peace!"
Yamagoe?
Gao Cheng was shocked in his heart, this is the biggest internal trouble in Yangzhou! In the original history, if it weren't for Shanyue's repeated containment of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others would have invaded Jingzhou without waiting for the Battle of Chibi. All occupy the south of the river.
He quickly took Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai and others to the hall to discuss matters.
"Shanyue went down the mountain to loot and conquered those county seats, what is the situation now?" Coming to the hall, Gao Cheng sat down and asked calmly.
"Lord Yu, the seven county towns south of Xintu and Linru in Yuzhang County have all been attacked by Shanyue, and in addition to a few county towns near Shanyin, Huiji County has also fallen into the hands of thieves!"
Xi Zhicai stepped forward and told the information that Xiuyiwei had spied, and he said in a deep voice: "Only Danyang County is in a better situation, only Lingyang, Yi County, and She County are chaotic, and the rest of the counties are barely stable!"
Hearing these situations, Gao Cheng's face was expressionless, the six counties of Yangzhou were chaotic at once, and the county towns that fell into the hands of the Shanyue barbarians were all located in the south. It seems that there are only a dozen county seats, but in fact, they already account for half of Yangzhou's area.
"Strategist, do you have any other information about Shanyue? It is impossible for millions of Shanyue barbarians to suddenly make a rebellion, there must be someone among them! Is it those families in Yangzhou? Or are they princes who are enemies of us?"
Gao Cheng asked lightly, his seemingly calm face hid a piercing killing intent, this time the other party could be regarded as grasping the key point of Yangzhou, countless Shanyue barbarians were hiding in the mountains, even if they could repel them, they could not be quickly eradicated. If this time is not handled properly, just these barbarians will be able to drag him for several years.
"The lord is wise, this time the mountain is in turmoil, it is indeed someone behind the instigation, according to the information of the embroidered guard, a few days ago when the lord was married, there were some people of unknown origin from Jiangxia, the embroidered guard was about to track down their origins, but found that they seemed to be covered, suddenly disappeared......"
Xi Zhicai said softly, he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for Gao Cheng's keen insight.
"Lord, this must be the collusion between Liu Biao in Jingzhou and those families in Yangzhou, who want to plot against Yangzhou! It is better to exterminate the families who colluded with Jingzhou before sending troops to suppress Shanyue, so that others can see the end of the conspiracy!" Xu Xuan said hatefully.
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said slowly: "Maybe Jingzhou just wants to see us do this, we can't be too reckless, otherwise, there will be chaos in the mountains inside, and there will be troops sent by the princes outside, and Yangzhou will be in danger!"
Gao Cheng listened to the discussion of these people above, turned his attention back to Xi Zhicai, and asked, "What is the opinion of the military advisor?"
