Chapter 26: The Journey to the West (Happy New Year)
Langya country is located at the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, the east is the sea, the west is Taishan County, the mountains and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the population is relatively sparse, and the Kaiyang County of Zangba Tun is in the territory of Langya country. If Gao Cheng becomes the long history of Langya, he will have no chance to develop his own power at all.
Gao Cheng thought of this and asked, "Zizhong, if I want to become the Taishou of a certain county in Yangzhou, is there a way?"
Mi Zhu showed surprise when he heard this, and said: "Do you want to go to Yangzhou?" Ziming, in addition to Danyang County, Wu County and Jiujiang County in Yangzhou, the remaining three counties are all wild places, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao next to him were also shocked, and they didn't go to a prosperous place, but went to a wild place, the idea of a son, ordinary people really can't guess it! Only Xu Xuan glanced at Gao Cheng thoughtfully.
Gao Cheng said: "Zizhong, now that the Han Dynasty is gradually chaotic, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and bandits are everywhere, without the common enemy of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that the contradiction between the Han royal family and the eight great families in the world will intensify again!"
"I want to develop the family into a famous family in the world, I don't want to be sandwiched between the royal family and the eight great families, only Yangzhou is close to Guangling, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, the royal family and the top families will not pay attention here, suitable for slow development. When the situation stabilizes, it will not be too late for me to return to Xuzhou!"
At this time, he would definitely not say that his purpose was to farm silently and wait for the opportunity to dominate the world.
Mi Zhu thought about it for a while, and what Gao Cheng said also made some sense, now the land and wealth of the Central Plains and Lianghuai are firmly occupied by those top families, states and counties. They will never allow a new family to rise up and take food from their bowls.
If Gao Cheng is in Xuzhou, as his strength grows stronger, the Gao family will continue to grow, and sooner or later he will collide with other families because of interests. At that time, either the Gao clan will rise from the blood and fire, or it will collapse and become the food of those families.
Most of the places south of the Yangtze River are vast and sparsely populated, and if Gao Cheng comes here, there will be a large area of land to cultivate, as long as the homeless people are recruited and developed, and over time, the Gao clan will become stronger and stronger.
Mi Zhu sighed in his heart and said, "What Brother Ziming said makes sense, but even the more prosperous Danyang and Jiujiang are far inferior to Langya Kingdom." If you really want to go, as long as you go to Luoyang for some activities, there should be a great opportunity, and the Taishou of Danyang, Jiujiang and Wujun is estimated to be impossible. There are only Yuzhang, Huiji and Lujiang, and these three counties lack officials all year round......"
He told all the information he knew and let Gao Cheng consider it for himself.
Mi Zhu said: "Whether it is to become the long history of Langya or the Taishou of Yangzhou, it will take tens of millions of money. If Ziming has no money in his hand, I can lend it to you, otherwise when he arrives in Luoyang, the emperor doesn't see the money, I'm afraid he won't be able to be an official!"
Gao Cheng said: "Thank you Zizhong for your kindness, not long ago, I broke through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so I got a lot of money, enough to use in Luoyang!"
"That's good! By the way, in addition to you, the assassin Shi also recommended Zhao Yu as the Taishou of Guangling and Zhen Rong as the next Pi Xiang, and after a few days, they are also going to Luoyang, do you want to set off with them?" Mi Zhu said.
Now is not the time for the world to be in turmoil, and high-ranking officials above the rank of a thousand stones, especially officials who hold the power of a county such as Taishou, Juncheng, and Changshi, can only take office after being summoned by the emperor.
Gao Cheng shook his head and said: "No need, they are all the henchmen of the Assassin History, if you know that I refuse the appointment of the Assassin and want to go to Yangzhou, I will definitely feel uncomfortable, rather than this, it is better for me to set off alone!"
......
Ten days later, the autumn wind swept across the land, and on the empty field, two hundred knights rolled forward with several carriages. A young man dressed in black robe climbed a hill on horseback and looked ahead. I saw that the earth was full of white bones, occasionally vultures hovering in the air, and among the ruins of the barren grass, there were occasional jackals scurrying around.
"It's Peiguo in front! I can't imagine that this Yellow Turban Rebellion is even more powerful than the previous Yellow Turban Army! I left Xuzhou and traveled hundreds of miles, but I didn't see a few figures?" Several people followed the black-robed young man to the hillside, and one of the men couldn't help but sigh when he saw the situation ahead.
This black-clothed young man is naturally Gao Cheng, ten days ago, he took Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao and Xu Xuan, and selected a hundred elites from the 50,000 army who were willing to follow him, plus the original 100 soldiers to Luoyang, and several carriages were put on a whole cart of gold in addition to grain and grass.
Gao Cheng handed over nearly 100 million five-baht coins and various loot to Mi Zhu in exchange for easy-to-carry gold, otherwise tens of millions of five-baht coins alone would require more than a dozen carts to pull.
"When Zhang Jiao was not dead, the goal of the Yellow Turban was to break through Luoyang, and it had a specific strategic goal, but now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers are like a mobile plague, where there is more money and food, they will rush to wherever they go!
After the tempering of the previous world, seeing this situation again at this time, Gao Cheng has been able to stop his heart like water, and he will not be excited when he encounters a miserable scene.
The person who sighed just now was Xu Xuan, after he took refuge in Gao Cheng, he obtained the first five layers of the Tiangang Thunder Spirit Method. Now that I have cultivated the beginning, I have awakened my vision with the realm of nourishing my soul. You can see the sights from afar. Showed a top-level cultivation talent.
When he heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again, and said: "What the lord said is very true, it is said that some of the Yellow Turban rebels went to Jizhou and hid in Taihang Mountain, and some entered Hedong County. Those who came to Xuzhou and Qingzhou are only a part. Now that the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou have been pacified, I heard that the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and Qingzhou have also been defeated by officers and soldiers, and it won't be long before the rebellion will be quelled!"
Gao Cheng shook his head secretly in his heart, what Xu Xuan said was only an ideal situation, but the reality is that the Central Plains is about to usher in a new round of war, and the destructive power is even greater. The scene of white bones exposed in the wilderness and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles is several times more terrifying than the scene in front of you.
As long as the contradictions between the Han royal family and the top families do not disappear, the turmoil will never subside. The world's top sages and strategists can sense this.
Xu Xuan can become the Shangshuling of the Wei State in the future and become the minister of the Zhu State, but at the moment he is just a fledgling young man, both in knowledge and strength, he is very weak. I can't yet perceive the situation at the heart of the world.
When Gao Cheng and Xu Xuan were talking, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao couldn't interject at all, they were just warriors charging into battle, and when they heard this general trend of the world, it was like listening to a book from heaven.
Seeing their expressions, Gao Cheng couldn't help laughing, didn't speak again, and continued to move forward with everyone.
Soon, the group came to Peiguo! Gao Cheng was an extraordinary and strong man, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao were also powerful warriors, and there were two hundred elite soldiers.
Pei Guo, Liang Guo, Chen Guo, Yingchuan...... In a few months, Gao Cheng's hometown revisited and came to Yingchuan County again.
