Chapter 35: Peiguo (1st Update)
Peiguo.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the breeze is blowing, the grass and trees on both sides of the avenue are thick, and even the very solid official road is gradually growing grass. Countless small beasts galloped back and forth in the grass. Occasionally, scattered dry bones can be seen in the ravines on both sides of the avenue.
From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, Yuzhou has experienced war, famine, and drought, countless creatures are filled in the ravines, and the bones are exposed in the wilderness.
Bang!
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, the earth shook, and the small animals in the grass and the birds that were looking for food on the ground were suddenly alarmed, and the birds fluttered their wings and flew into the sky, circled in the sky a few times, and then left into the distance. And the small animals on the ground also hid in time, looking at the middle of the avenue alertly.
Dozens of knights galloped on horseback, these knights were fierce, their eyes were sharp, and they had a strong killing aura on their bodies, and the strong evil aura unconsciously spread in all directions, and those alert and sensitive little animals on both sides of the road immediately turned their heads and fled wildly into the distance as if they had seen a natural enemy.
"Lord, the front is Qian County!" Xi Zhicai raised his horsewhip and pointed to the front. At the end of the avenue is the city wall of Qian County.
The place Gao Cheng was going to this time was not the city of Qiaoxian, but the Xujiawu Fort dozens of miles away from Qiaoxian! When Gao Cheng went east from Changshe to Guangling, more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers gathered here and wanted to break through the Wubao and plunder grain and grass, but these more than 100,000 horses were completely defeated by Xu Chu of Xujiawu Fort by himself.
Since then, Xu Chu has become famous and has become a heroic man in the eyes of many people.
Gao Cheng thought about recruiting this person when he was in Lujiang, but his power was not strong at that time, and the success rate of door-to-door recruitment was no more than 30%. And now that Gao Cheng has defeated Yuan Shu, after the news spread, his reputation has skyrocketed again, and he has become a powerful prince who is expected to dominate the world in the eyes of many people.
Yangzhou, Guangling, plus part of Runan, whether it is the size of the territory, or the soldiers and horses under his command, and the population, Gao Cheng is well-deserved among the top three in the world.
With such confidence, Gao Cheng is sure to recruit a peerless general like Xu Chu. After all, Xu Chu has a family and a mouth, and he is not an ordinary poor family. The other party should also consider the issue of family business.
"It's a pity that Dian Wei, who is as famous as Xu Chu, had already taken refuge in Zhang Miao when the princes raised their troops! Later, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong jointly betrayed Cao Cao, and he surrendered to Cao Cao through Xiahoudun!"
Gao Cheng secretly thought to himself, according to the information of Xiuyiwei, Dian Wei has now become Zhang Miao's most valued subordinate, in this world, the value of a peerless general is incomparable, and Gao Cheng's original world is different, as long as Zhang Miao is not stupid, he will never let Dian Wei defect to others.
"But that's fine. Cao Cao is not from Yanzhou, and the relationship with the local wealthy families in Yanzhou is very tense, as long as there is a chance, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong have a seventy or eighty percent chance of betraying the same as the original timeline, and when Zhang Miao has Dian Wei under his command, he can involve most of Cao Cao's strength!"
Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai came out to visit Xu Chu this time, and did not lead the army, but followed the car lightly, and only brought dozens of personal soldiers to Qian County.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, not far from the avenue, Gao Cheng's eyes moved slightly, he pulled the reins, and rushed over with his own soldiers with Xi Zhicai.
Now that Yuan Shu was killed, Yuzhou was in turmoil, except for Runan County, the other county guards were panicked, and the rule of the government was shaken, and in an instant, there were many rangers and bandits who saw the opportunity and rushed out of the mountains and forests, ready to take advantage of the chaos to seize some benefits.
In the wilderness on the side of the avenue, dozens of bandits armed with long knives are besieging two people, the two people who are besieged, one old and one young, the old one is carrying a medicine basket, which looks like a fairy wind and bones, and there are many fragrant herbs in the medicine basket. Next to the old man was a teenager.
"Old fellow, if you want to live, leave all the elixir behind, or Lao Tzu will kill you both!" the bandit leader shouted angrily.
Dozens of people kept besieging with sharp blades, the old man's face was a little nervous, but his hands and feet were flexible, and every punch and kick had great strength, sometimes elegant and agile, sometimes fierce as a bear. These bandits kept shouting and killing, but they were all stopped by the old man. And also protected the teenager behind him.
Boom, the sound of horses' hooves came, Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai rushed here with dozens of personal soldiers, and Xi Zhicai's spiritual power was swept away, and he suddenly screamed in surprise.
"There are so many elixirs in the medicine basket behind this old man? they are all good things to increase qi and blood and increase people's cultivation speed!
When Xi Zhi saw these elixirs, he knew that the old man in front of him was absolutely extraordinary. For example, these elixirs basically grow in the deep mountains and wilderness, and there are many beasts and beasts guarding them. Any one plant is worth tens of thousands.
If the old man didn't have some strength, he would definitely not be able to pick so many elixirs.
"What a wonderful exercise...... What a strong physique!" Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the old man's body, and he was also a little shocked. This old man looks old on the surface, but in fact his blood and spirit are extremely vigorous. Even more powerful than some refining powerhouses.
It's just that the other party doesn't seem to have cultivated any killing tricks, but just relies on strong strength and flexible movements to avoid the attacks of these bandits. Occasionally, a punch will knock a bandit back with blood spurted.
Gao Cheng could find that when this old man was fighting back, he subconsciously showed mercy to his subordinates, and even if the bandits vomited blood and retreated, their lives were not in danger.
When the bandit leader heard the sound of horses' hooves, he turned his head and looked at it, and was immediately frightened, and all the people who were qualified to serve as cavalry were the elite of the officers and soldiers, and dozens of their bandits were not opponents at all when they encountered the officers and cavalry.
He immediately shouted and beckoned his men to retreat. It's a pity that it's too late to escape by this time......
"Huang Shao, go and kill all these bandits!" Gao Cheng ordered.
Among the dozens of pro-soldiers who followed Gao Cheng's side, a man with vicissitudes on his face gave up his hand and urged him to step forward. The spear in his hand stabbed forward, and the surging qi roared out, tearing out a violent wind in the air, and instantly piercing the chest of the bandit leader.
This man is Huang Shao.
Dozens of days ago, Guangling fell, he surrendered with the county soldiers, for the sake of his previous teaching of Tiger Roar Gong, Gao Cheng made him his personal guard, and taught a method of refining Gang, so that Huang Shao, who was stuck in the ninth layer of training, successfully became a martial arts general.
After Huang Shao became a personal guard, he became silent and worked hard to cultivate, whether it was strength or marksmanship, he continued to soar. Gang roared, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed all these dozens of bandits to death.
"Hey......"
When the old man saw this scene, his eyes showed a slight trace of unbearability, but he didn't say anything, these dozens of bandits had big shoulders and round waists, and they were not outcasts and ordinary people who became bandits in desperation. He is a real thief, and he is innocent of death.
He paused, tidied up his somewhat scattered clothes, and then stepped forward and arched his hand: "Huatuo of Qian County, thank you for your help!"
Gao Cheng's right hand holding the reins tightened suddenly, and his heart shook slightly, he is Hua Tuo, who is known as the miracle doctor?
