Gao Cheng gladly accepted Xi Zhicai's suggestion, stayed in Zhongli for half a day, and then took away the 150,000 troops of the battalion, leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses for Wu Anguo to contain the Xuzhou battalion opposite.

The commander of the Xuzhou army on the opposite side is Cao Bao, Gao Cheng knows this person's ability very well, and the 50,000 elite army is enough to drag his 200,000 or 300,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

There are many warships on the river, Gao Cheng originally took 50,000 elites, but now there are more than 150,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 200,000 elites, and it is easy to take Huaiyin and attack Guangling.

Xuzhou military camp.

Cao Bao was wearing armor and two people stood on the lookout to observe the movement on the opposite side, Cao Bao has also entered the refining level after two years of tempering. It's just the weakest refining layer. The Gang Qi in the body is weak. It's just that he relied on his family background to occupy the position of the main general.

The two people next to him are Zang Ba and Zhang Min. Zhang Min has also just entered the level of refining gang, and he was a yellow turban thief before, his identity is a little embarrassing, and his status is low.

Zang Ba was originally a thief, better than the Yellow Turban Thief. Therefore, his status is second only to Cao Bao and he serves as the deputy general of the army. At this time, the three of them came here because there was movement in the Yangzhou Water Village opposite, and they were worried that the enemy would come to attack, so they came up to check the enemy's situation.

"General Xuangao, what do you think the Yangzhou army on the other side is going to do, do you want to cross the river to attack our army camp?" Cao Bao looked at the big boat on the river from a distance, his face was ugly, and his voice was a little hoarse and asked.

Zang Ba replied in a deep voice: "There is such a possibility! A few days ago, Tianzhou Mu received news that Gao Cheng personally led his troops to Zhongli to support Wu Anguo. Gao Cheng's personal support must be intended to attack, if it is for defense, only Wu Anguo is needed, and there is no need for him to go into battle in person. ”

When it comes to Gao Cheng, Zang Ba's face is a little complicated, at the beginning in Xuzhou, Gao Cheng was just a Huai'an County Lieutenant, and he used the power of the Mi clan to form 50,000 soldiers and horses. There is capital to attack the Yellow Turban rebels.

Unexpectedly, after only a few years, Gao Cheng, who was originally just a county lieutenant, was actually famous all over the world, and also occupied the entire Yangzhou, becoming a pivotal prince in the world.

In order to suppress Gao Cheng, Tao Qian even formed an alliance with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Such a move is undoubtedly putting himself below, admitting that Yangzhou's strength is far above Xuzhou.

Huai'an trained sailors to eradicate the bandits of Baima Lake, went to Luoyang and was named the Taishou of Lujiang, sent troops and the Guanzhong princes alliance to attack Dong Zhuo, and unified Yangzhou......

What Gao Cheng has done over the years, step by step, is now preparing to attack the Xuzhou army, if Xuzhou is defeated, the two counties of Xiapi and Guangling may fall into the hands of the other party.

Zang Ba has the qualifications and ability to become a first-class general, and his current strength has reached the peak of the sixth-layer refining gang, and he is only half a step away from becoming the seventh-layer void realm of refining gang. He is now the strongest master of the Xuzhou army.

But he, the number one master, subconsciously felt heavy pressure after hearing Gao Cheng's name. As the chief general, Cao Bao was even more unbearable than him, and when he heard that Gao Cheng was very likely to lead the army across the river to attack the camp, his face changed dramatically in an instant, and his body shook.

"Don't worry about the two generals, although Gao Cheng is powerful, but we are not at the mercy of others, our army originally had an army of 250,000, plus the 100,000 reinforcements brought by the last general, a total of 350,000 troops, can't we still hold a camp?" Zhang Min has never been in contact with Gao Cheng, he has only heard of the other party's reputation, so he is still full of confidence.

At this moment, Zang Ba suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the warship in Yangzhou on the other side seems to be heading east! Gao Cheng's target is not us!"

He is also a well-known general in Xuzhou, with the talent of commanding troops, and as soon as his mind turned, he guessed the general behavior of Gao Cheng. But after guessing it, his face became even more ugly.

"The situation is not good, Gao Cheng's target this time is Guangling County, quickly send someone to Zhao Taishou to deliver a message. Zhang Min, you go and order 100,000 troops to chase along the river, and you can't let the Yangzhou army easily enter Hongze Lake!"

......

Gao Cheng marched east along the river on the warship, and he didn't know that Zang Ba had guessed his strategy, but even if he guessed it, it didn't matter, the navy of Xuzhou was not worth mentioning, and the navy of Yangzhou could easily block the Huai River, and he could enter and exit the Huai River and Hongze Lake at will, like no man's land.

After the sailors had the advantage, Gao Cheng went down the water and could choose the place to attack at will, while the Xuzhou army could only run back and forth to do useless work.

"Lord, now Guangling Taishou is Zhao Yu, this person is a famous man in Xuzhou, as well as Chen Qi and Chen Deng of the Guangling Chen family, the three of them are all strong people at the soul refining level, our army can't be too light on the enemy!" Lu Su reminded in a low voice.

Chen Jue, Chen Deng, and Zhao Yu, a celebrity.

Gao Cheng was no stranger to these three names, he nodded and said: "The Chen family father and son have lived in Guangling for a long time, especially Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who can be literate and martial, of course I will not underestimate them!"

In Gao Cheng's original world, Chen Denghou served as the Taishou of Guangling in the future, and repeatedly defeated Sun Ce's attacks, whether it was sorting out internal affairs or leading troops to defend the city, he was first-class. The only pity is that he died too early and didn't give full play to his talents.

Lu Su groaned for a moment at this time, and then said: "Our army is about to march into Huaiyin, there is a great talent in Huaiyin City, if the lord gets the help of this person, it will be much easier to pacify Guangling in the future!"

"Who is there a great talent in Huaiyin City?" Gao Cheng couldn't help asking. Lu Su is a native of Dongyang, Guangling, and Gao Cheng is a township party in the same county, so after hearing about Gao Cheng's reputation, he took the initiative to defect. Dongyang Lu is not a famous family, it can only be regarded as a small family.

However, Lu Su has a wide range of contacts and knows many talents. The talents he takes the initiative to introduce must have strong ability.

"Huaiyin Buqi!"

Lu Su replied, and then introduced Gao Cheng: "He is a branch of the Huaiyin Bu clan, and his ancestor is one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius's uncle, this person's parents died early, but he reads poetry and books every day, and cultivates the family exercises to an extremely advanced level, and he is already a master of soul refining two years ago!"

"With the help of this person, our army has a thirty percent chance of winning!"

Gao Cheng's heart moved, Huaiyin Buqi, this is a member of the future Eastern Wu important minister, once pacified Jiaozhou, and served as the prime minister of Eastern Wu after Lu Xun's death. He is a top talent second only to Dongwu Siying, and is known as the second phase of Dongwu along with Gu Yong.

"It turned out to be this person! In this case, when our army arrives in Huaiyin, I will personally visit him, and I will invite this person into my Yangzhou!" Gao Cheng said.

Xi Zhicai on the side said with a smile: "The lord and Zijing are both from Guangling, plus Huaiyin Buqi, as long as Zhao Yu is defeated, it is easy to be recognized by the people, and it is easy to pacify Guangling!"

Xi Zhicai's words are good, since Gao Cheng led Yangzhou Mu and the right general. The people of Guangling often put his name on their lips, especially in Huaiyin and Huai'an, and they regarded him as the pride of Guangling.

Gao Cheng led a large army to attack Guangling, as if he was going home.
