After Huang Zhong came out, he didn't make a move on Gao Cheng for the first time, and through the short fight just now, he already knew the approximate strength of the opposite Lujiang Taishou, especially the other party holding the artifact Hun Tian Banner.

The divine power in the inheritance artifact is stronger than Gang Qi in terms of both the degree of condensation and the power. If Huang Zhong hadn't used the Changhe Divine Fusion to fuse his physical body, and used the secret method of Xuanlang Three Turns to temporarily increase his own strength, I am afraid that his Tianhe Gang Qi would be cut by the other party the moment it encountered the spatial crack, causing irreversible injuries.

"We lost this raid!" Huang Zhong swept his gaze, looked at the corpses in the water, and said with a sigh. The hundreds of warships of the Jingzhou Navy were destroyed by one-tenth in an instant just now, and with such heavy losses, Jingzhou's money and grain could not recover in a short period of time.

Liu Pan's face was ugly, he saw Huang Zu who had fallen into the water in the distance and barely climbed onto the warship, Huang Zu had not yet broken through the refining gang, but the dual cultivation of body and soul had reached a certain level, and he was only swept away by the aftermath just now, and he was not hit hard.

He snorted and said, "If it weren't for Huang Zu's rash advance, how would we have such losses! If General Huang were the main general in this battle, we would definitely be able to break through the Lujiang Water Village!"

Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, even if Huang Zu did not rashly launch a decisive battle, they would not be able to defeat the Lujiang Water Division, Gao Cheng held the artifact Hun Tian Banner, and it is said that he also took away the jade seal of the country, as long as he did not defeat him, the water village and Chaisang City in front would be fine.

"Now we can only retreat, otherwise our army's sailors and foot soldiers will all fall here!" Huang Zhong said.

In addition to his impatient personality, Huang Zu is usually a qualified commander of the army, and after seeing the situation in front of him, his face changed, and then when Huang Zhong spoke, he asked his subordinates to send orders to Ming Jin.

......

"Lord, the Jingzhou Navy has been defeated, why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue it?" Chen Wu was rescued in time, and was not affected by the space debris that the two fought each other. He looked at the retreating warships on the opposite side and said a little unwillingly.

"Can't chase! Huang Zhong is a top general, he can defeat the warship with a backhand, without a general of the same level to entangle him, the pursuit is equivalent to death!" Gao Cheng didn't answer, and Zhou Yu beside him explained.

Gao Cheng nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's words. This time, the Jingzhou sailors lost tens of thousands, destroyed dozens of warships, and injured some vitality. I believe that there will be no action in the short term.

"Now that the Jingzhou Navy Division has retreated, our army just took advantage of the situation to take Yuzhang! Gong Jin and Zilie, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, I will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and go south to Nanchang County, where Yuzhang governs, can you be sure?" Gao Cheng said slowly.

Chen Wu's face was happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand, Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and also wanted to exercise on the battle array, so he also agreed.

Although Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin is a master of soul refining and can suppress the prefecture and county, but in addition to him, Yuzhang County is notoriously sparsely populated, and there are not many soldiers and horses. Zhou Yu and Chen Wu are both extraordinary, so they have no problem dealing with Hua Xin.

In May of the second year of the first peace, Jingzhou soldiers and horses and Lujiang soldiers and horses fought in Chaisang, Jingzhou soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated to Jiangxia. Gao Cheng's reputation once again spread all over the country. After showing their superb magical powers, Xuzhou and Runan, which were originally ready to move, regained their calm.

In June, Zhou Yu and Chen Wu led 30,000 troops south, and Taishou Huaxin surrendered without a fight. Gao Cheng was transferred to Huaxin as the Taishou of Lujiang and led the history of Yangzhou Assassination.

In July, Lü Dai was the governor of the navy, and Chen Zhi invaded Danyang County, and Wu Jing, the Taishou Wu Jing, was Sun Jian's wife and brother, and died in battle after the city was broken. After the rest of the cities in Danyang got the news, they quickly defected.

By the end of July, four of the six counties of Yangzhou had fallen into Gao Cheng's hands, leaving only Huiji and Wu counties. When a force rises for the first time, the vigor and power it exudes is unimaginable. Gao Cheng's power is like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and no force in the entire Yangzhou can stop it.

In September, Gao Cheng captured Qu'a and Dantu, with Chen Zhi as the vanguard, and slashed the Yan Baihu of the Huiji, and the Huiji Dong attacked heard Gao Cheng's reputation and took the initiative to come to defect.

The Taishou of Huiji County is Wang Lang, who was recommended to come to Huiji as the Taishou after he made contributions in Xuzhou, responsible for exterminating Shanyue in the territory. Now, a few years later, Shanyue is still difficult to govern. He doesn't have many generals under him, and the only one who has some fame is the celebrity Yu Fu.

Of the six counties of Yangzhou, only Huiji was not captured, Wang Lang was surrounded by Yuzhang, Danyang, and Wu counties on three sides, and Gao Cheng's reputation was outside, Wang Lang was really not sure to defeat the other party.

At this time, Zhang Zhao sent a letter, Wang Lang had a step, and immediately sealed the government and sent a seal ribbon. expressed his willingness to attach to the new Yangzhou Thorn History.

So far, all the six counties of Yangzhou have fallen into the hands of Gao Cheng. When the territory of an entire state was occupied by him, the dragon qi in his body suddenly let out a long groan, and a pair of dragon horns grew.

Shouchun Thorn Mansion.

Gao Cheng moved his roots to this city, preparing to stop the movement of troops for a while. In the past few months, Lujiang and Jiujiang have suffered a great loss of money and food, and the soldiers under his command have suffered a lot of losses, and they are exhausted, and they have reached their limit.

"If we don't withdraw our troops, I'm afraid that Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou will join forces to deal with me! If they send troops again, it will be different from last time, and they will inevitably dispatch all the elites to suppress my momentum!"

Gao Cheng thought slowly in the mansion that before the second year of Chuping had passed, he occupied the six counties of Yangzhou, which was larger than the territory of Dongwu in the future. Such a force is second only to Dong Zhuo and Liu Biao in this world.

From ancient times to the present, it is very rare to occupy a state in a few months, and this terrifying upward momentum will not sit idly by as long as the princes who intend to dominate the world. Of course, Tao Qian and Liu Biao may not have the intention of competing for hegemony, but who made the two of them Gao Cheng's neighbors. They also have some dirty feelings with Gao Cheng, and the stronger Gao Cheng's power, the more uneasy they are in their hearts.

"I need to lie dormant for a year or two temporarily, and take advantage of this time to farm and raise soldiers, I now have four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and two hundred thousand sailors, which cannot be done by such a force to defend Chengdu. ”

In the west of Yangzhou, it is necessary to build a water village in Chaisang to strengthen the city, to defend the Huai River in the north, and to establish a defense line on the Yangtze River to deal with the threat of Guangling, and to use troops everywhere.

Don't look at the time when Dong Zhuo and the princes joined forces to fight, the two sides only dispatched a million soldiers and horses, in fact, part of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses had to defend Hedong, and part of them had to defend other checkpoints in Luoyang, and at least sixty percent of the force was contained.

When Dong Zhuo gave up Luoyang and retreated to Chang'an, the number of troops he could dispatch did not decrease but increased, and he was still the first prince in the world. If Gao Cheng wants to go north to Xuzhou or west to Jingzhou, he must at least reorganize and train a million troops. And it is necessary to organize a new army in a steady stream. In this way, there is the foundation of hegemony.

"During this time, I can use fate points to deduce the method of clone, as long as the deduction is successful, I can open the door of fate and enter other worlds to improve my strength......"
