Chapter 12 Balance
Bu Zhi bowed deeply and performed the ritual of the master. After the ceremony was completed, Gao Cheng helped him up and returned the ritual. He laughed and said, "With Zishan helping him, why worry about the big thing not being accomplished!"
Xi Zhicai smiled. Another master from the fourth level of soul refining turned to Yangzhou. The more masters under the lord's command, the stronger the Yangzhou foundation. If more than a dozen masters like Bu Zhi defected to Gao Cheng, the number of masters in Yangzhou would not be inferior to those wealthy families in the prefectures and counties.
Bu Yong also had a happy expression. Although Bu Zhi used to be very inconspicuous and did not be valued in his family, he was in the blood of the Bu family in Huaiyin. If Bu Zhi made great achievements and was valued in the future, Bu family would also gain fame. This is to achieve enlightenment by one person, and the chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.
"Huaiyin Bu family has been silent for too long. Now that Bu Zhi has defected to Gao Cheng, I don't know if he will be valued in the future! It's not appropriate to have only one person..." Bu Yong's thoughts turned rapidly.
"By the way, I just saw Gao Cheng seemingly looked at the trainer differently, so it would be better to find a way to send the trainer to his mansion. With this relationship, in the future, Gao Cheng will achieve great achievements, and Bu's family will also be able to follow behind and get benefits."
"But this matter is not urgent. Let's talk about it when Gao Cheng captures Guangling!"
Gao Cheng is now the governor of Yangzhou and the right general. He is all under the six counties of Yangzhou. However, such an official position and status are not enough to allow a family that has been passed down for a long time to lose their integrity and take the initiative to send their own tribesmen to a side house.
So Bu Yong had this idea in his mind, but he did not rashly raise it. He wanted to wait until Gao Cheng occupied Guangling or Bu Zhi had some status in Yangzhou before mentioning this matter.
Gao Cheng and Bu Zhi sat down, with no politeness as before in their expressions. They seemed to be much closer. Bu Zhi asked, "When I saw the lord personally lead a large army to Huaiyin, did I want to fight with General Jiang Qin of Moling to attack Guangling?"
"Not bad! What's your opinion on Zishan?" Gao Cheng replied directly. After all, this is not a secret. Anyone with a normal mind can think of this.
While the two were talking, Bu Yong stood up quietly with a wink and left outside the yard. After Bu Zhi defected to Yangzhou, he was the only one left behind everyone present, which was not suitable to listen to confidential information from Yangzhou.
"The Xuzhou naval army is weak. The lord goes down the river and then attacks Guangling from north to south. It is the best strategy, and there is nothing wrong with it. Especially the prefect Zhao Yu is not versatile in military tactics, which is even more beneficial to the lord!"
Bu Zhi said here, with a slightly solemn expression on his face and continued, "However, to capture Guangling, the most important thing is not the prefect Zhao Yu, but the Guangling Chen family!"
Gao Cheng nodded and said, "Zishan is right. Chen is the first family in Guangling. I have been paying attention to it."
"Brother Zishan, you specifically mentioned the Chen family in Guangling. Could it be that you want to tell your lord, Chen Gui, what confidence does Chen Deng and his son have to have the chance to block the 200,000 troops in Yangzhou?" Xi Zhicai was thinking about it and suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Bu Zhi nodded and said, "The Chen family in Guangling is a prominent family in Xuzhou. Chen Gui's uncle is Chen Qiu, the Grand Marshal of that year. Chen Qiu has two sons, Chen Yu and Chen Cong! If the Chen family in Guangling decides to be enemies with our army, then we will face four powerful people in the soul refining realm."
"And the Guangling Chen family has been passed down for a long time and has large-scale magic and inherited artifacts. If you are not prepared, the 200,000 army of siege is likely to end in failure!"
"Four soul refining masters? Inheriting artifacts? I didn't expect this. Can Zishan tell me what power the Chen family's inheriting artifacts have?"
Gao Cheng's strength has reached the second level peak now, and ordinary second-level masters can't take a move in front of him. At the same level, the first level of soul refining and the ninth level of soul refining are almost at a distance from heaven and earth.
If Gao Cheng wanted to, he could take the lives of Xi Zhicai and Bu Zhi with just one thought, and they didn't even have time to react. Therefore, the four soul-refining masters of the Chen family in Guangling were not seen by him.
The inherited artifacts are both strong and weak. The powerful artifacts are like the Emperor Shun chariot of Yuan's Runan. They can instantly blast open the city gate of Hulao Pass, and strong people in the third-level magical power realm dare not ignore their power. Weaker artifacts can also greatly improve the combat power of cultivators.
After all, the power essence of inherited artifacts is far beyond the spiritual power of Gangqi or soul refining practitioners.
Bu Zhi said in a deep voice: "The inherited artifact of the Chen family in Guangling is called Zhaotian Mirror! It is said that this artifact is the treasure of Chen State in ancient Spring and Autumn Period. It can restrain most of the magical magic in the world and block the five senses and six consciousnesses of the practitioners! If Chen Gui does not hesitate to consume his life and release all the divine power of this artifact, the 200,000 troops under the city will become deaf and blind and be slaughtered!"
"There are such treasures in the world?"
Gao Cheng was shocked. He thought he could attack Guangling with a chance, but even Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son were helpless to resist. Unexpectedly, the other party had such a trump card.
The wealthy families in this world really cannot underestimate them. If you don’t understand the details of the other party, you will most likely suffer a big loss!
"Brother Zishan, can Zhaotian Mirror be able to restrain himself?" Xi Zhicai asked quickly. Gao Cheng also focused his eyes on Bu Zhi, wanting to know the weakness of the treasure.
Bu Zhi said: "Zhaotian Mirror is of high grade, and its divine power is chasing the Emperor Shun chariot of Yuan's family in Runan. It is recorded in books at home that when Chen State and Chu State were fighting, Zhaotian Mirror was severely damaged by the Nantian Fire Phoenix Banner, the state-controlled artifact of Chu State! Perhaps only those powerful state-controlled artifacts in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period could suppress this artifact!"
Then, Bu Zhi pondered for a while and said, "Guangling Chen Deng is very broad and bold. He is a genius in the world. If our army wants to pacify Guangling, if this person helps, he will be twice the result with half the effort. Why don't you write a letter with your hand? If you can recruit this person, Guangling will be able to go down without fighting!"
Gao Cheng shook his head slightly in his heart. He and Chen were a little dirty at the beginning, and even killed a branch of each other. Of course, this was not a mortal hatred. If he really wrote a letter by hand, Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son would probably surrender without fighting.
"However, the Chen family has controlled most of Guangling and can almost be called the Lord of Guangling. In the original world, Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son successively defected to Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao. Whichever side is strong, the Chen family will surrender to that side! When they finally surrendered to Cao Cao, Chen Deng was the prefect of Guangling and took all the power of Guangling!"
"Later, he was appointed General Fu Bo, and even Cao Cao could not handle Guangling's affairs at will."
Gao Cheng had a bad impression of Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son. When he thought of the other party turning to others several times, he felt a little disgusted.
Chen Deng was able to be both literary and military in his original world, and even defeated Sun Ce twice. He was indeed a talent. However, if he recruited him, Gao Cheng had to accept the powerful Chen family in Guangling.
Guangling County is an important base to go north of Yangzhou. Gao Cheng would never hand over the power of this place to a noble family who is very likely to rebel.
