In addition to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Chen Zhi, Lu Dai, Xi Zhicai, Chen Jiao and others who followed Gao Cheng were all from poor families, and in the entire Lujiang County, only Zhang Zhao was born in a family.

Gao Cheng glanced in the northeast direction, but unfortunately the fleet had to go north along Yingshui, which was extremely far away from the country of Qian, and there was no way to recruit Xu Chu, a top general. Xu Chu's background is not high, his clan is rooted in Yuzhou, and only the princes of Yuzhou can recruit each other.

"In the original timeline, it seems that after Cao Cao occupied most of Huainan and Yuzhou, he recruited Xu Chu, and after I unified Yangzhou, I also had to go north to seize the land of Xuzhou in Yuzhou, and it would not be too late to recruit the other party when the time came!"

The number of top generals in this world is limited, and each of them is an invincible general, which is a rare resource for heroes who intend to compete for the world. Gao Cheng has been greedy for Xu Chu for a long time, but he is self-aware. Xu Chu's current strength can be reused if he takes refuge in any prince in the world.

The position of his own Lujiang Taishou is not important in the eyes of the other party. He was qualified to choose his allegiance.

When Gao Cheng thought of Xu Chu, he also thought of Lu Bu in Luoyang City. I don't know what realm this flying general, who is known as the number one in the world, is it the peak of refining gang, or has it surpassed the level of refining gang and reached another height?

"The Three Kingdoms World, according to the test of the Gate of Destiny, belongs to the High World! It's just that the current cultivation system doesn't seem to have the level that the High World should have!"

The Datang World, which belongs to the middle world, can accommodate the strongest master who can be refined. After reaching the Nine Levels of Refining Gang, you will shatter the void and enter a higher level of world.

In the world of the Three Kingdoms, the masters on the bright side are all extraordinary powerhouses who refine their souls, and they can dominate one side when they reach the transcendent level. Gao Cheng's thoughts turned, he and Xi Zhicai talked about this issue, it seemed that before Emperor Shizu rebuilt the Great Han, the masters at that time were unusually powerful.

Hussar general Huo Quai's martial arts sanctification, invincible in the Western Regions, and Wei Qing teamed up to destroy the Xiongnu king's tent whose power was not under the Han Dynasty, it is said that his strength through the increase of the cavalry under his command, can break the mountains, crack the river, and even can blow through the air, shattering the meteorite in the sky.

Push forward a little more time, and the overlord Xiang Yu is known as a monstrous battle spirit, his body is indestructible, and one person can kill an army of millions. Such terrifying strength is recorded in the collection of Yingchuan Academy, as if it were narrating myths and legends.

And after Emperor Shizu rebuilt the Han Dynasty, those mythical masters disappeared, and Xi Zhicai didn't know the reason.

While Gao Cheng was pondering, the fleet crossed the Huai River and followed the great river into Yingshui, where the waterway became narrow again. This place belongs to the boundary of Yuzhou and belongs to the sphere of influence of the new Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling.

It's just that the territory that this Yuzhou assassin can control, only Yingchuan County and Chen Guo, for Runan and other places, the cities on both sides of Yingshui are basically occupied by local clans, and they have become small forces that listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda.

When the Lujiang naval army passed through Yingshui, the sentinels of these local clans all found out the news and knew that this fleet was the soldiers and horses of the Lujiang Taishou Gao Cheng, preparing to go north to the sour jujube and the Kwantung group of heroes to join the alliance.

After the news was sent back, these local clans breathed a sigh of relief, Runan is adjacent to the Lujiang River, they have all heard the reputation of the Lujiang Taishou, and they originally wanted to go to visit, but they saw that the fleet did not stop all the way, and soon passed through Runan County and came to Chen County, where Chen Guozhi was located.

At this time, the narrow waterway was no longer enough to allow the big ship to go north again, so Gao Cheng led an army of 20,000 and Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers and horses to disembark and march.

Now that Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling has led his soldiers and horses into the sour date city of Chenliu County, the defenders of Chen County saw the large number of men and horses appear in the territory, and hurriedly closed the city to prevent the other party from attacking.

Gao Cheng ignored these people, he had enough food and grass, and he didn't need the city supply on the road like other princes, and the army went north along the road, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and 25,000 elites, and the bandits and bandits in front were wiped out one after another, so that the army got some booty.

......

After Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor Chen Liuwang and set up another king, he changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chuping. In March of the first year of the first year of the first peace, Gao Cheng finally entered the territory of Chenliu County, which is an important place in Yanzhou, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion entered Yanzhou, Chenliu County has been greatly damaged, full of displaced people, barren heaven and earth, and white bones everywhere.

Now that the heroes of the Kwantung region have gathered in Chenliu and forcibly recruited strong men everywhere, it has consumed the potential of Chenliu County, even if it waits for the alliance of princes to disperse, this place will definitely not be able to recover without a year or two of recuperation.

On the barren land, more than 20,000 soldiers marched silently, Gao Cheng rode a horse, and his powerful five senses seemed to sense the far ahead, with a majestic evil aura rushing into the sky.

"Lord, there are sour dates ahead! Now Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Han Fu and others have arrived with their troops, and there are enough eighteen princes! plus us, there are nineteen roads!" Lu Dai received the news from the sentinel in front and said to Gao Cheng.

"The princes of the Eighteen Roads, each of the princes brought at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, Jizhou Mu Han Fu and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian had the largest troops, and all the soldiers and horses added up, about 1.3 million! It's a pity that these armies are all forcibly recruited and strong, and the troops are wide but not refined!"

Half a day later, a large battalion finally appeared in front. There is a plain outside the city of Sujuju, which was originally farmland, but now the field is barren, and it has become a place for the princes to settle their troops.

The princes in Sujube City have been reported and know that Gao Cheng, the Taishou of Lujiang, responded to the text and came to the alliance. Among them, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's faces were a little ugly.

When Gao Cheng was in Luoyang City, he offended Yuan Shu fiercely. And Yuan Shao is not an open-minded person, and he has a deep impression of Gao Cheng, a person who failed to take refuge in himself, and then decisively took refuge in Zhang Rang.

The attitude of the two towards Gao Cheng was obviously expressed, and it immediately affected the impression of other princes on Gao Cheng. No one would offend the Yuan brothers of the Yuan family of Runan for the sake of a Lujiang Taishou who did not have much reputation.

When Gao Cheng's army came to the outside of the sour jujube city, only Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan came out of the city to greet them.

"All stopped!"

Gao Cheng saw that someone in front of him greeted him, and with a wave of his hand, Lu Dai immediately gave an order. The 25,000 soldiers stopped in unison, and Gao Cheng took the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, as well as Chen to Zhou Tai. The two people who appeared in front of them, one was slightly shorter, but there was a heroic temperament between his eyebrows, and the other was burly and wearing heavy armor.

Behind the two of them, there were also several martial arts masters with strong breaths.

"Cao Mengde!"

Gao Cheng recognized Cao Cao at a glance, when he was in Changshe, he ran into Cao Cao's ambush and almost ran head-on. Thinking of the first time he saw each other, he sighed a little in his heart, after all these years of hard work, he finally reached the same height as Cao Cao.
