Chapter 12: Trade-offs
Bu Qi bowed deeply, performed the master and slave salute, and after the ceremony was completed, Gao Cheng helped him up and returned the salute. Haha laughed and said: "With Zishan's help, why worry about big things!"
Xi Zhicai smiled, another master of the fourth layer of soul refining took refuge in Yangzhou, the more masters under the command of the lord, the richer Yangzhou's heritage became. If there are more than a dozen masters like Buqi defecting to Gao Cheng, then the number of masters in Yangzhou will not be inferior to those state and county families.
And Buyong also had a happy expression. Don't look at Bu Qi, who was very inconspicuous in the family before, and was not taken seriously. But in the end, he is the blood of the Huaiyin Bu clan, and if Bu Qi is reused for his achievements in the future, the Bu clan will also gain fame. This is a person who attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
"Huaiyin Bu Clan has been silent for too long, and now that Bu Qi has taken refuge in Gao Cheng, I don't know if it will be reused in the future! Only one person is not very appropriate...... Bu Yong's thoughts in his heart turned rapidly.
"By the way, just now I saw that Gao Cheng seemed to look at the trainer differently, it is better to find a way to send the trainer to his house, with this relationship, Gao Cheng will achieve great things in the future, and the Bu family can also follow behind to get benefits. ”
"But this matter is not in a hurry, wait for Gao Cheng to capture Guangling!"
Gao Cheng's current identity is Yangzhou Mu and Right General, all of which are based on the six counties of Yangzhou, but such an official position and status are not enough for a family that has been inherited for a long time to take the initiative to send his own clansmen to be a partial house.
So Bu Yong had this idea in his heart, but he didn't put it forward rashly, wanting to wait until Gao Cheng occupied Guangling, or Bu Qi had some status in Yangzhou before mentioning this matter.
Gao Cheng and Bu Qi sat down separately, and there was no politeness in their expressions. It seems to be a lot closer. Bu Qi asked: "I saw that the lord and his father-in-law led a large army to Huaiyin, didn't he want to join forces with General Jiang Qin of Moling to attack the north and south and capture Guangling?"
"Yes, what is Zishan's opinion?" Gao Cheng replied directly. After all, it's not a secret, anyone in their right mind can think of it.
While the two were talking, Buyong quietly stood up and left the courtyard. After Buqi defected to Yangzhou, he was the only outsider left among the people present, and he was not suitable for listening to Yangzhou's confidential news.
"The Xuzhou Navy is weak, the lord goes down the river to Huaiyin, and then the north and south attack Guangling is the best policy, and there is nothing wrong with it, especially if Zhao Yu is too guarded and does not understand the art of war, it is even more beneficial to the lord!"
Bu Qi said this, his face showed a little solemnity, and continued: "However, to capture Guangling, the most important thing is not to defend Zhao Yu too much, but to Guangling Chen!"
Gao Cheng nodded and said, "Zishan is right, the Chen family is the first family in Guangling, and I have long been concerned." ”
"Brother Zishan, you specifically mentioned the Guangling Chen family, didn't you want to tell the lord that Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son still have the confidence to have the opportunity to block the 200,000 army in Yangzhou?"
Bu Qi nodded and said: "The Guangling Chen clan is the Xuzhou Wang clan, and Chen Qi's uncle is the Taiwei Chen Qiu of the year, and Chen Qiu has two sons, Chen Yu and Chen Cong! ”
"And the Guangling Chen clan has a long heritage, with large-scale spells and inheritance artifacts. If you don't take precautions, the siege of 200,000 troops is very likely to end in failure!"
"Four Soul Refining Masters?Inheritance Artifact?I didn't think of this, Zishan, can you tell me about the power of Chen's Inheritance Artifact?"
Gao Cheng's current strength has reached the peak of the second order, and ordinary second-order masters can't make a move in front of him at all. It is also a second-order, and there is almost a gap between heaven and earth between the peak of the first level of soul refining and the ninth layer of soul refining.
If Gao Cheng was willing, he could take the lives of Xi Zhicai and Bu Qi with a single thought, and the two of them didn't even have time to react. Therefore, the four soul refining masters of the Guangling Chen clan were not looked at by him.
Inheritance artifacts are strong and weak. The powerful artifact is like the Shun Emperor chariot of the Yuan clan in Runan, which can blast open the gate of the Tiger Prison in an instant, and the powerhouses of the third-order divine power realm dare not ignore its power. Weaker artifacts can also greatly increase the combat effectiveness of cultivators.
After all, the essence of the power of the inheritance artifact far surpassed the spiritual power of the Gang Qi or Soul Refining cultivators.
Bu Qi said in a deep voice: "The inheritance artifact of the Guangling Chen clan is called the Zhaotian Mirror! It is said that this artifact is the treasure of the Chen Kingdom in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period. It can restrain most of the spells in the world and shield the cultivators' five senses and six senses! If Chen Qi did not hesitate to consume his life and release all the divine power of this artifact, the 200,000 troops under the city would become deaf and blind. Let others slaughter!"
"Is there such a treasure in the world?"
Gao Cheng looked shocked, he thought that the attack on Guangling would be captured, even if Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son wanted to resist, they couldn't do anything, but they didn't expect the other party to have such a hole card.
The wealthy families in this world really can't be underestimated, and if they don't understand the details of the other party, they are very likely to suffer a big loss!
"Brother Zishan, is there a way to restrain yourself in the mirror of the sky?" Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked. Gao Cheng also set his eyes on Bu Qi's body, wanting to know the weakness of the treasure.
Bu Qi said: "The grade of the Zhaotian Mirror is very high, and the divine power contained in it is directly chasing the Shun Emperor Chariot of the Yuan clan in Runan, and it has been recorded in the books at home that when Chen and Chu were at war, Zhaotian Mirror was severely damaged by the Nantian Fire Phoenix Banner, the Zhenguo artifact of Chu State!
Afterwards, Bu Qiu pondered for a while, and said: "Guangling Chen Deng has a deep strategy, has a heroic heart, is a genius in the world, our army wants to pacify Guangling, with the help of this person, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, why don't the lord write a letter? If you can recruit this person, Guangling will be able to go down without a fight!"
Gao Cheng shook his head slightly in his heart, he and the Chen family were a little dirty at the beginning, and they also killed one of the other party's branch disciples. Of course, this is not a hatred that is not shared, if he really writes a letter, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son are very likely to surrender without a fight.
"It's just that the Chen family has controlled most of Guangling, and can almost be called the lord of Guangling, in the original world, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son have successively taken refuge in Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao. When he finally took refuge in Cao Cao, Chen Deng was in the position of Guangling Taishou and held all the power in Guangling!"
Later, he was also crowned as General Fubo, and even Cao Cao could not deal with the affairs of Guangling at will. ”
Gao Cheng did not have a good impression of Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, and he was a little disgusted when he thought of the other party's several times to switch to others.
Chen Deng was able to write and martial arts in the original world, and even defeated Sun Ce twice, he is indeed a talent. But to recruit him, Gao Cheng had to accept the Guangling Chen family.
Guangling County is an important base for Yangzhou to the north, and Gao Cheng will never hand over the power of this place to a wealthy family who is very likely to rebel.
