When Gao Chong first saw this porcelain cup, he was moved.

If you ask the reason for your heartbeat, Gao Chong couldn't answer it for a while.

An excellent man always has a sharper sense of touch than others. He carefully examines Gao Chong's motivation to move forward step by step over the years, or his restless nature, or the provocation and wildness hidden in his bones. At this moment, the mood for Gao Chong is like a man who suddenly saw the girl he likes the most, and in a panic, he forgot what words to use to win the heart.

"Zijing, who is the magistrate of Xinping?" Gao Chong asked while playing with the exquisite porcelain cup.

"I believe that the favorite commander is Shu Zhongying, Qianhai Hunting." Lu Su said.

"Okay, I will reward Shu Zhongying with a salary of 300 stones. The State Special Specialty has set up a ware supervisor. Shu Zhongying is responsible for the production of porcelain. In addition, for the cost in the firing process, Zi Jing, you can order people to make an estimate and the state government will uniformly transfer it." In the face of the opportunity, Gao Chong ordered without hesitation.

The exquisiteness of porcelain can touch Gao Chong's heart in an instant, and it can also touch most people with curiosity. At this moment, Gao Chong dreams that one day it will replace copper utensils that have been used for thousands of years with porcelain produced in Jiangdong. And when every household uses porcelain utensils, Gao Chong can imagine rolling profits flocking in.

In contrast to Gao Chong's pleasure, Lu Su's face was bitter. As soon as Gao Chong returned to Jinling, he first allocated some funds to purchase horses in Jiangdong. Then Liu Ye, the captain of Sijin, was ordered to develop a thunder cart and took a part. Now it is the special cost of firing porcelain. These few steps have taken all the money that Lu Su had finally accumulated.

"If there is war or something, the cost of raising food will be gone!" Lu Su spread his hands and said helplessly.

Gao Chong smiled slightly, stood up and comforted him, "Zi Jing, don't worry, after this excellent porcelain is burned out, I will give you a set of them at each official's office. He said that in the future, all the utensils used for guests will be the best, and they will also advocate a new trend. Of course, this porcelain is not for free, and it will be charged at the cost and profit."

The invention of porcelain and the gathering of merchants also gave Gao Chong a new idea. If he could be the first to produce large quantities of daily life porcelain and transport these porcelain to the north through merchants from all over the country, it might lead to a trend of innovation. In this way, porcelain is a strange thing, and Gao Chong could take this opportunity to gain the initiative to exchange goods for goods, thereby purchasing horses and urgently needed iron tools from the princes in the north.

On the ninth day of the second month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Gao Chong was awarded great rewards to soldiers who had made meritorious battles. Anyone who had brave warriors were given land and private customers, exempting them from taxes and labor for two years. If they failed to fight, they would deprive their families of land and their descendants of their children and children of their families of children and children of their families and be repaid as part of the department. At the same time, all counties, counties and pavilions that served as logistics support were rewarded with corresponding achievements.

Just when the Jiangdong faction was peaceful and peaceful, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two powerful men in the north, finally began a decisive battle for the rule of the Central Plains. Among the eight lieutenants in the West Garden in the past, the rest were all busy, but Cao Yuan and the others were able to dominate. This time, each of them had their own battle for their own interests, neither side would have any feelings for their own interests.

On February 12, the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao personally led 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to occupy the fortress on the north bank of the Yellow River, Li Yang, and sent generals Yan Liang and others to besiege Baima to cover the main force to cross Henan.

The White Horse Guard Liu Yan was at the forefront, and his troops were weak. Under Yan Liang's fierce attack, he had to ask Cao Cao for a series of emergency.

The spies who went deep into Yanyu continued to return the progress of the war. What should Gao Chong do if he couldn't make up for the final decision about the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao's envoys came to Jiangdong one after another, lobbying Gao Chong to take advantage of Xu Du's empty opportunity to penetrate a knife from Cao Cao. Cao Cao also saw the danger at the same time. In order to make up for the cracks left by the battle with Gao Chong, the envoy sent by the court this time was Hua Xin.

"Brother Ziyu is fine, I'll live longer when I return to Jiangdong this time." Gao Chong, who received the report, said while letting Hua Xin into the study room in the mansion.

Hua Xin's spirit was even more vigorous than four years ago. It was obvious that he lived a good life in the court. He said: "In a flash, under Shaochong's management, Jiangdong has become a new look and a bit more charm than the Central Plains. Unfortunately, the affairs in the court are busy, so we can't stay much this time."

After a pause, Hua Xin continued: "Shaochong, before leaving, Mr. Cao has a few words to tell you."

Gao Chong had a full face and said, "Brother Ziyu, please tell me?"

"Mr. Cao said: The world is vast, and everyone who can accomplish great things will be orthodox. Today, I am here, and I live a comfortable life. Cao is lucky to be with the emperor. This is the heavenly gift. If the princes take it, Cao can only fight hard and resist in the name of loyalty and filial piety." Hua Xin said it clearly and clearly, but when it fell into Gao Chong's ears, it was as loud as a bell.

Cao Cao was indeed awesome. His words not only expressed his importance to the emperor, but also seemed very loyal and righteous, making people unable to find any handle. Gao Chong knew that Cao Cao had already been warned, so he warned himself not to act rashly.

The news from Xudu also proves this. Cao Cao in Xuzhou used Lejin as the commander general, and Man Chong was guarding Runan in Yuzhou. In Xudu, Cao Ren had been transferred from Wancheng and stationed in Yangqu in Xiaobei.

At this moment, the guards outside the door came to report, and Zhang Zhao, who was responsible for receiving Yuan's envoy, came to ask for a meeting. Gao Chong then sent Hua Xin out of the mansion and arranged to live in Liu Ye's mansion for the sake of familiarity.

"Pamperor, the battle between Cao and Yuan is about to begin, and Xu Du is empty. If I raise my troops to advance north, I can use the emperor to command the princes to fight for political initiative." In the face of huge temptation, even Zhang Zhao, who has always been good at lobbying, was a little moved.

Gao Chong looked at Zhang Zhao, who was nearly fifty years old, and smiled and said, "Duke Zhang, Cao Cao's cavalry is 500 for three days and 1,000 for six days. If we go north and go to Xudu only by infantry, we may not be able to do it."

"But, Yuan Envoy said that the Yuan army would send troops to gather Cao Cao's cavalry and prevent them from leaving the northern border." Zhang Zhao was still a little unwilling. It was obvious that the envoy sent by Yuan Shao was quite eloquent.

Gao Chong glanced at Zhang Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Donald Zhang, the princes have repeatedly looked at their lives. They go when they are beneficial and retreat when they are not profitable. Who would take this agreement to heart? I, Gao Chong, have been able to be today in the past few years, and it is not someone else, but myself. After you go back, you clearly tell the envoy Yuan, and say that the time is up, I will naturally send troops to take Xu Du."

"Sikong, General, the battle between you has not begun yet, why should I make an urgent statement?" Gao Chong watched Zhang Zhao leave with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention how Cao Yuan in the north competed with each other, Jiangdong in early March was a vibrant scene.

The eighth day of the third lunar month was originally a traditional festival in the Wuyue area - Yangge Festival. This period is the slack season. People who have worked for a whole year will often pray for good weather in the new year in this way, hoping that the next crop of rice sown will have a good harvest.

After Gao Chong unified the six counties in Jiangdong, this custom also spread and gradually became a fixed custom.

This time, the Yangge Festival and Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony of Danyang County were set up in the south of Jinling City. Xu Jing was the one who presided over this ceremony. It was just right for him to do this, and people who came from all directions would use the simplest voice to express their inner emotions.

In the wide venue, he was squeezed out early in the morning. The newly appointed Jinling Captain Lei Xu was busy organizing his soldiers to guard various passes.

In the crowd, a young man and woman stood inconspicuously, looking around with interest while whispering something. They were Gao Chong and Lu Ti.

Suddenly hearing the news of the Yangge Festival evoked Gao Chong's vague memories of his childhood, while those who had the same longing for him were Lu Ti, the mountains of Wujun, the water of Wujun, and the people from the same side were pregnant.

"Shaochong, it's not good for us to come out secretly. Will we find someone to go home and report to the princess later?" Lu Ti was wearing pink clothes, and her eyes were soaring that the young men looked straight.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Ignore you! There is no one who is tight." Lu Ti angrily whipped her waist lightly, bringing a touch of charm.

When the sacrificial ceremony began first. Xu Jing held a book and recited it on the stage with a very enthusiastic lyrics. Most of the people below were not able to understand what Xu Jing was saying, but it didn't matter. Anyway, the purpose of coming was to watch the Yangko Club; the other was to see the fun.

"Climbing the balcony in the morning, sleeping in the orchid pond in the evening, picking lotus leaves on the moon, and getting lotus seeds every night. I didn't comb my hair in the past, and my hair was quilted on my shoulders, and I stretched my knees to my knees. Where can I not be pitiful?" This song of Wu's song, which has been singed from the Han Dynasty Yuefu, has been singed with soft words and Wu's voices, and the graceful and gentle singing spread out, revealing an extremely happy feeling.

Before we knew it, Gao Chong and Lu Ti had been squeezed to the edge of Longzangpu (now Qinhuai River). The green grass sprouted on the bank. There were a few wild birds in the middle of the river that were not afraid of the warmth and cold river water, chirping and cheering in the water.

Facing this picturesque beauty, the beauty in the painting, Gao Chong, who was immersed in the gentle land, couldn't help but relax his mind that was always tense on the battlefield.

At this moment, he didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and danger also came at the most relaxed time.

"The little thief was told to die!" Suddenly, a crisp scream rang out from Gao Chong's ears.

Then, the sharp weapon with sharp wind thrusts straight behind him.

Gao Chong turned and looked at it. But he saw a bright short dagger coming in front of him. A heart flashed by, but unexpectedly, Lu Ti was accompanying him on the left, a crowded stream of people on the right, and a river behind him. If he moved forward, it would be like automatically sending the blade.

The assassin thought he had calculated the position correctly, so he took a blow, leaving Gao Chong with nowhere to hide.

"Hiss--!" The dagger pressed against Gao Chong's left chest, tearing all the clothes apart, and the blood that oozed out stained the pure white clothes, turning into a little red plum blossom pattern.

"Who?" The strong pain came, which made Gao Chong suddenly feel energetic. He pushed Lu Ti away and stretched out his right hand to clamp the dagger that pierced into his body.

"Kill your man." The sword-holding hand was trembling slightly, and the assassin was trying to pull back the weapon with force.

Gao Chong looked along the hand and saw that the person who was in the assassin was a girl with a bright and frosty eyebrows, with a delicate face and a clear and graceful look. The coldness on the sword body made her face look whiter. She herself seemed to be unable to withstand the coldness of the sword energy, and she trembled slightly, and her skin became a painful whiteness.

Seeing that Gao Chong was ineffective in his competition, the girl quickly abandoned the weapon, raised her hand and took out another short sword from the soap bag behind her. She waved her wrist and pulled up a cluster of sword flowers, which directly hit Gao Chong's face.

Gao Chong groaned, and his steps flashed, but he didn't expect the girl to be cunning. He turned around and stabbed Lu Ti, who was stunned by Gao Chong's side. Gao Chong saw Lu Ti in danger, loved Wu and Wu, and hurriedly blocked Lu Ti in front of him. The sharp sword slashed across his left arm, even more than the wound just now, and blood immediately rushed.

"Shao Chong, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ti said hurriedly.

Gao Chong stood straight on the spot with a blue face. He was forcibly holding himself up with a breath. He said, "Ask again, who are you?"

Seeing that the girl was so stung, she laughed and said, "Brother, I finally avenge you."

Just as the girl was proud, Gao Chong shouted loudly, suddenly pulled out the dagger inserted into her chest, held it in her hand and rushed towards the girl. This time, the defensive attack was completely beyond the other party's expectations. The girl could only block it with a sword in a hurry, and only a "kneel" sound was heard, and the short sword in the girl's hand was shaken away, falling into the crowd, and a panic suddenly scurried.

"It's amazing, murder!" The panicked people fled in all directions like crazy. The old, weak, women and children were trampled on the ground, screaming for a while.

"These innocent people who died were all killed and injured because of you alone. Gao Chong, you can hear it clearly!" The girl bit her hair with her white teeth, and her eyes were even more prettier and arrogant.

After hearing this, Gao Chong smiled angrily: "You are an assassin, causing chaos, and it is you who destroys the song party, not me."

The girl smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, you haven't lived long, so you can understand that I am Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Ce. All the descendants of the Sun family are heroic men, even women are women. The two sharp blades just now, one is Qingming, one is Baili, and the second of the six swords cast by my brother. Now the swords are all poisonous in my Sun family. Just now, you can wait to die!"

After saying that, he floated up and down, and then he hid in the fleeing crowd and lost his traces.
