Chapter 7: The Heroes of the Kanto Mountains

When Liu Bei saw the man in heavy armor, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to Gao Cheng: "Envoy, this is Gongsun Zhan, the famous white horse general in the north, and he is also my brother when I used to study!"

Gao Cheng secretly sensed the breath of Gongsun Zhan, this white horse general is a famous general in Youzhou, and he has long been a transcendent military general at the level of refining gang, and between his steps, there is a fierce and fierce atmosphere. The gaze is sharp and powerful.

Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan came to greet him, and Gao Cheng of course wanted to give the other party a face, so he dismounted early.

Seeing a young man in a black robe on the opposite side, followed by several imposing generals walking around, a trace of shock flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, Gao Cheng's appearance was too deceptive, he had cultivated Taoist Xuangong, and the more profound his cultivation was, the younger his appearance would be. Now he looks like a handsome young man on the surface.

After knowing the news that Gao Cheng, the Taishou of Lujiang, came to the alliance, Cao Cao sent someone to investigate the details of the other party early, knowing that the other party led troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou a few years ago, so he made a career and was appointed as the Taishou of Lujiang. In Dahan's evaluation every three years, he has been evaluated twice in a row.

This kind of talent who can write and martial arts is rare in the whole world. It is said that when the first emperor was in power, he planned to transfer the other party to Luoyang, but someone made an obstacle, so he stayed in a remote place like Lujiang.

"It is said that Gao Cheng was born in the Bohai Gao clan and belongs to a branch of the Gao clan, and now he has taken root in Lujiang and is one of the famous families in Yangzhou!

Cao Cao thought in his heart, but his face was not insignificant, and when he saw the other party coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is Gao Ziming, the Taishou of Lujiang!

Gao Cheng returned the salute, his eyes flashed, and when he saw a familiar figure behind Cao Cao, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Meng De spread the word that the world is crusading against the Han thief Dong Zhuo, he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, I heard of the name early in the morning, and today I saw it really extraordinary!"

The two praised each other according to the etiquette of the big man, and at this time, Cao Hong, who was following Cao Cao as a personal guard, had already opened his mouth and showed his eyes in disbelief.

Gao Cheng's appearance has not changed much from the beginning, and he recognized the other party at a glance as the Yellow Turban Master who knocked him to the ground and snatched the war horse outside the Changshe City back then.

"How is it possible? He is actually the Lujiang Taishou who was praised by the eldest brother?" Cao Hong was shocked in his heart, but he finally understood the current situation, and he didn't dare to publicize it loudly, and he would tell Cao Cao about it when he returned to his own place.

At this time, Gongsun Chan also chatted with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao turned his eyes and saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him, his eyes widened suddenly, Liu Bei didn't say it for the time being, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were top generals at a glance, especially Guan Yu's body was majestic, his appearance was not angry and self-assured, and his awe-inspiring momentum seemed to be a god high above.

"Brother Ziming, who are these three?" Cao Cao asked actively.

Gao Cheng said: "I forgot to introduce to Brother Meng De, this is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the relatives of the Han Dynasty, these two are his brothers, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, all of whom are heroes who are difficult to find in the world! When I went to Lujiang, I relied on the strength of the three of them to defeat the mountain barbarians! After hearing Brother Meng De's message, the three of them took the initiative to ask to go north, ready to do their part for the Han Dynasty!"

For Liu Guan and Zhang, Gao Cheng has no shortage of beautiful words, and he admires the three of them very much, but Cao Cao can hear from Gao Cheng's tone that Liu Bei does not seem to be his subordinate, but a relatively independent force.

After feeling this, Cao Cao was even happier in his heart, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were Gao Cheng's subordinates, he would still be a little difficult to recruit, but now it's okay, Liu Bei's subordinates have no soldiers and no food and grass, if he recruits from the bottom of his heart, maybe he can let the three of them take refuge in himself.

"The three of them understand the righteousness and admire it!" Cao Cao exclaimed.

Liu Bei was still silent, and returned the salute, Zhang Fei showed a trace of excitement on his face, whether it was Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan or Gao Cheng, they all looked up to the three of them, it seemed that the three brothers were about to become famous.

After everyone got to know each other, Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun behind him to guide the Lujiang people to the place to camp, and then personally led the way in front, and took Gao Cheng and Liu Bei to the sour jujube camp to meet with other princes.

In Sujube City, there are elite soldiers everywhere, these soldiers are all personally trained by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, and each of them is a master of cultivation who has embarked on the road of cultivation. Extraordinary powerhouses in the realm of refining gang and soul refining are also everywhere. A small half of the world's extraordinary masters gather here.

Among the princes' tents, more than a dozen princes sat down, this time in the sour jujube alliance, ready to elect the leader of the alliance, the stakes are very high, so except for Ma Teng, who is far away in Xiliang, all the princes came in person.

After electing the leader of the alliance, the alliance of the princes will divide their troops and march westward and officially start a major battle with Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao was the first to enter the big tent, Gao Cheng and Liu Bei followed behind Gongsun Zhan, and before they could observe the situation in the big tent, they heard Cao Cao laugh and introduce it to everyone.

"Originally! This is Lujiang Taishou Gao Ziming, leading 20,000 elite soldiers to join the alliance, Ziming Yunwen Yunwu, he is a great talent in the world, and we have another chance of winning with his alliance!"

Yuan Shao knelt at the top by relying on his family background and his own ability, he glanced at Gao Cheng, and said nonchalantly: "Since you have come to the alliance, then take a seat!"

"Hmph, 20,000 soldiers and horses, just a drop in the bucket, what's the use?" Yuan Shu said with squinted eyes, very hostile to Gao Cheng. Ji Ling behind him had tense muscles, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, lest Gao Cheng make a move.

Other princes such as Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian were all cold bystanders, especially Tao Qian, with a cold light in his eyes, he intended to recommend Gao Cheng as an official, and he didn't want the other party to ignore his kindness at all, so he crossed him to find a way in Luoyang and went directly to Lujiang County.

Such an act is a betrayal in his eyes. Tao Qian has a hard personality, if it weren't for the fact that the other party came to the alliance and the princes all the way, he would have already detonated the anger in his chest.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Gao Cheng just can't get over their faces and have dirty, and he Tao Qian really has irreconcilable contradictions with Gao Cheng.

Regarding Yuan Shu's words, Gao Cheng's expression was indifferent and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and Chen Zhi and Zhou Tai, who followed him, were angry and glared at Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao knew something about the dispute between Gao Cheng and the Yuan brothers, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he hurriedly continued to introduce it to everyone: "This is Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuande, the disciple of the Great Confucian Lu Zhi, and he also came to the alliance today!"

When talking about the Han clan, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai's eyes moved, nodded at Liu Bei, and said, "Since you are a Han clan, you will also come to take a seat!"

Different from Liu Bei, who claims to be a clansman, Liu Dai is a famous clansman in the genealogy of the Han royal family, and his uncle Liu Chong once served as the captain of the Han Dynasty, and he himself has a strong ability, and his reputation is second only to Liu Yu, Liu Yan, and Liu Biao among the Liu clan.
