Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm going to go to Longshu County to inspect next, you and Yu'er are optimistic about the mansion and take care of Miss Mi!"

Mi Huan heard Gao Cheng mention himself, his face showed a hint of blush, and he lowered his head slightly.

"Don't worry, Childe, we are here, Xiaohuan...... Ah no, it's Miss Mi who will be fine!" Gao Ying hurriedly said.

Gao Cheng nodded, did not stay in the mansion for long, and immediately went to the mansion, gathered the carriages and horses and personal soldiers, and took Xi Zhicai and Pei Yuanshao to Longshu County together.

On the way, two hundred knights were scattered around, carefully patrolling the surroundings and protecting a carriage in the middle. In the carriage, Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai sat casually, and by the window of the carriage, Gao Cheng looked at the fields on the left and right.

On both sides of the land, a small river meanders through it, and many people work in the fields, all of whom have satisfied smiles on their faces, although they are hard. Looking at the growth of the crops in the fields, today is another good year.

Since the first year of Zhongping, the whole world has become much more stable, and the Lujiang River has not been invaded by drought, flood and locust plague, and has had a bumper harvest for three consecutive years. In the granary of Lujiang County, a large amount of grain and grass has been piled up. Enough to support a large war with hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Zhicai, you once said that the Red Emperor Fire Cloud Sutra is a superior exercise that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Han royal family, Your Majesty has cultivated such an exercise, and his body should be good, and he can resist the invasion of ordinary diseases, why is it that he is only more than thirty years old, and he can't support it?"

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze from the window, and had some doubts in his heart, so he asked Xi Zhicai.

This world is a high-level world, the power system is very high, according to common sense, as an emperor, he can master most of the cultivation resources in the world, as long as he cultivates seriously, he can completely become a master. But the reality is that the emperor is already a little unable to support it, and began to set up a captain in the West Garden to check and balance the general's military power, and is ready to push his younger son as the emperor. This is somewhat counterintuitive.

A smile appeared on Xi Zhicai's face, and he said: "I have seen some records in the collection of Yingchuan Academy, Emperor Shizu and Emperor Mingzhang were both powerful and incomparable masters, who could suppress the entire world, and the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai back then were all supreme grandmasters. ”

"But the good times didn't last long, and later Dou Xian and Liang Ji among the relatives took power successively, coercing the royal family, and the imperial power was not strong, when the first emperor was in power, he united with the eunuchs to destroy the Liang family, but he was also seriously injured and died soon after!"

"Today's Your Majesty, in the case of the first emperor has no heirs, was welcomed as the emperor by his relatives Dou family, in order to prevent His Majesty from cleaning up the Dou family after the first emperor is in power, so he took the lead and abolished His Majesty's cultivation foundation! This caused Your Majesty to be weak and not live long!"

When Gao Cheng heard this, he understood the reason, and sighed: "The Dou clan is really dead, and he dares to attack the emperor directly, no wonder His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and he has united with the eunuchs to wipe out the Dou clan!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and continued: "Today, the general and the eunuch are incompatible, as long as Your Majesty dies, no one will be able to suppress the two sides, and then I am afraid that the world will be chaotic again, especially Your Majesty's reset of the state pastor, I am afraid that the world will be troubled!"

As the world's top wise man, Xi Zhicai has a very clear view of the general trend of the world.

Gao Cheng laughed and said, "The chaos in the world is the time for us small families and children of poor families to rise. Zhicai, you said that if I become a pastor in Yangzhou and have the land of Jiangdong as the foundation, can the Gao family become the top famous family in the world?"

Xi Zhicai's face did not change in the slightest, after getting along for several years, he had some guesses about Gao Cheng's actions and ambitions, so he was not surprised to hear Gao Cheng's bold words that he wanted to become a Yangzhou pastor.

He laughed and said: "If the lord wants to become the pastor of Yangzhou, I am afraid that he can only have a chance when the world is completely chaotic!"

When Gao Cheng heard this, he glanced at the other party, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, it seemed that Xi Zhicai had guessed his thoughts.

A few days later, the carriage and horse came to the territory of Longshu County.

Longshu County is different from other counties, the territory of the Han barbarians are mixed, the last time Gao Cheng led the army to break through the mountain barbarians, with Xu Xuan as the Longshu order, the captured hundreds of thousands of mountain barbarians placed here in Tuntian. After a few years of running-in, these people are no strangers to farming, and after another one or two decades, I believe that they are no different from ordinary Han people.

"Everyone, cheer up, in case the mountain barbarian master sends someone to assassinate him!" Pei Yuanshao outside shouted, reminding the two hundred knights.

Now that Pei Yuanshao is focused on cultivation, he already has the strength of the ninth layer of cultivation power, and he is only one step away from becoming an extraordinary powerhouse, but unfortunately his potential seems to have been exhausted, and he has consumed a lot of cultivation resources, so he is still trapped in the ninth layer of training power.

Lu Dai and Jiang Qin and others have superb ability to lead troops to fight, and their cultivation has also risen rapidly, so in the entire army of Lujiang, their status is constantly rising, and Pei Yuanshao is not much except for his strength and the ability to lead troops, and he is still only Gao Cheng's personal commander.

Xi Zhicai heard the four words of the mountain barbarian master, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "Lord, although the mountain barbarian army was broken last time, there are still millions of barbarians hidden in the mountains, among which there are many masters who are proficient in poison skills.

"This mountain barbarian is the henchman of Lujiang County, and when the mountain barbarian recovers, he will inevitably go down the mountain again to plunder!"

Gao Cheng said: "Zhicai mentioned this matter, did he have a plan to deal with the mountain barbarians?"

Xi Zhicai said: "There is a lot of miasma in the mountains, I can't send a large army to go deep, I can't solve it in a short time, and I don't have a very good strategy, now I can only let the army continue to besiege, and build a camp, step by step!

"In addition, the lord also needs to train an elite army to constantly rob the women and children of the mountain barbarians, and constantly bleed the tribes in the mountains, so that the mountain barbarians will continue to weaken, but if you want to completely solve the mountain barbarians, it will still take ten years!"

The strategy that Xi Zhicai said was similar to the method of Lu Xun, He Qi and others who later pacified Jiangdong Shanyue. Gao Cheng suddenly remembered the Nanban in Yizhou in his heart. Zhuge Kongming's methods of southern expedition are very different from those of Jiangdong Lu Xun and others.

Seven captures and seven verticals, subduing the heart of the Southern Barbarians. With the deterrence of the conquest of the army, these southern barbarians did not rebel for nearly a hundred years when Shu Han was there.

However, such a method seems to be clever, but in fact it is only a stopgap measure. If there are conditions, it is better to completely swallow Nanban or Shanyue. Solve the problem once and for all, and let the inherent territory of the Han people expand again.

However, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are more focused on the water army, and Dinggong has not yet broken through the extraordinary, and he needs to assist the lieutenant to be in charge of the soldiers and horses of the whole county, so he can't get out! We still lack a general who can command the infantry and is good at camping!"

Gao Cheng sighed, the more his power developed, the more he felt that the talents around him were not enough!

Xi Zhicai stopped talking when he heard this, and the person sitting in Longshu County at this time was Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. With him sitting in Longshu, the mountain barbarians dare not go down the mountain. It is a good person to implement this strategy.

It's a pity that this Zhang Sanye is affectionate and righteous, and he is very loyal to Liu Bei. Maybe when he will leave with Liu Bei.

The carriage and horses continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for them to see a majestic city standing on the ground, and in the far distance of the city was the black Dabie Mountain Range. Approaching Longshu County is only a tip of the mountains, and it looks like there is no end in sight. It's no wonder that this mountain range allows millions of mountain barbarians to survive in it.

The Dabie Mountains stretch from north to south, extending to Pengze in the south and Yangquan County near the Huai River in the north. It's thousands of miles. The mountains occupy almost half of Lujiang County.

"Lord, Longshu City has arrived!" Pei Yuanshao reminded in a respectful voice.

Gao Cheng walked out of the carriage when he heard this, and outside the gate of Longshu City, Xu Xuan had already received the news in advance and came out to greet Zhang Fei together.
