At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"Of course we have to wait, we have reached this point, how can we not wait?"

"But Zifeng, you have made such a great contribution, and these ministers left you outside to make you wait? What did they do?"

Xiahou Dun complained about Guo Peng very much.

"Can't say that."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Yuan Rang, never say such things in the future, no matter in front of me or in front of others."

Guo Peng's tone was harsh, but Xiahou Dun nodded without rebutting.

"understood."

"Go and settle the soldiers first. In short, set up the barracks first. No matter where you go, you must set up a camp."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed.

But in Xianyang Garden, where Dong Zhuo was stationed, Dong Zhuo took off his armor and sat on the couch to breathe.

"Minggong, I have sent people to watch over those civilians, they can't leave."

Duan Yan came to Dong Zhuo and reported the matter to him.

In order to strengthen his reputation, before meeting Guo Peng, Dong Zhuo arrested many people fleeing from Luoyang City, and forced them to wear military uniforms and hold weapons to make up for the number, so that his army would appear to be larger.

Although the matter has come to an end now, those people never want to leave.

Dong Zhuo still needs them quite a lot.

Because he didn't know what Yuan Kai was going to do, he single-handedly pushed himself to enter the capital, but now that the matter was imminent, he was not allowed to enter the capital, what's the matter?

Not allowed to be Bingzhou shepherd, not allowed to enter Beijing, what do you want?

Dong Zhuo complained about Yuan Wei while worrying about his future.

This feeling of not being able to hold everything in your hands is really very uncomfortable, very very uncomfortable.

Both Guo Peng and Dong Zhuo are waiting for a result.

On the same day, at noon on August 28, Liu Bian returned to the palace, announced amnesty for the world, and changed his Yuan to Zhaoning on the same day.

Have a good time.

Guangxi's reign name only existed for a few months before it came to an end.

Then there is the very important reward link, which is related to the filling of the huge power vacuum left after the extermination of the relatives and eunuchs.

When the eunuchs and relatives were still there, the scholars reached a certain compromise and fought in groups.

Now that the eunuchs and relatives are gone, only one family remains in the troika of the Han Dynasty, and the tacit understanding of the scholar group suddenly disappeared. Everyone immediately began to identify with their hometown, background, etc., and formed a group with each other to fight for power and profit.

But right now, it is Yuan Kai who has the real right to distribute benefits.

Yuan Kai pretended to invite all the ministers who made contributions in the chaotic war to discuss how to reward the heroes. After a conversation with the gods that Liu Bian could not understand at all, Liu Bian was told that he needed to make some rewards. .

Yuan Shao, who made great contributions in the action of killing eunuchs, still served as the captain of Sili.

And his brother, Yuan Shu, because of the credit of burning the palace gate and forcing the eunuchs to flee, in addition to the original position of Huben Zhonglang General, he was added the military position of Later General and became Heavy General.

Shaofu and Shangshu ordered Lu Zhi to be promoted to Taishi, and together with Taifu Yuan Kai, he recorded the affairs of Shangshu.

Guo Peng, the prefect of Shanggu County and the general of Hu Karasuma Zhonglang, was promoted to General Zuo because of his meritorious service in saving his family.

Then, Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo was promoted to Sikong, one of the three princes, and also a former general because of his meritorious service in saving his family and his utter loyalty.

Other things are easy to say, including the matter of making Guo Peng the left general, but the decision to promote Dong Zhuo to Sikong, one of the three princes, made many people feel dissatisfied and complained.

However, Yuan Kai is the head of the Yuan family, and now the leader of the scholars in the court, what he wants to do, a large number of former officials of the Yuan family in the Manchu Dynasty cannot object.

People were dissatisfied in their hearts, and did not dare to object with their mouths. At most, they could only criticize Yuan Kai's selfish actions in private.

Ever since, the upstart of the dynasty made his debut.

Lu Zhi finally realized what Yuan Wei was going to do.

This is the rhythm of taking full control of the government...

Allowing myself to be a grand teacher, but recording Shangshu affairs with myself is tantamount to depriving myself of the power to be in charge of the Shangshutai.

Up and down.

Yuan Kui, you are really cunning and cunning.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao's complexion was not good, he looked at Yuan Kai with a displeased face, and then at Yuan Shu who was looking at him with complacency.

He couldn't quite believe what he was hearing.

But it's true.

In the afternoon, after the court meeting, Yuan Kui and Lu Zhi sent people to Xianyangyuan and Yuxiang to announce new appointments to Dong Zhuo and Guo Peng, and allowed Dong Zhuo to lead troops to Luoyang to help defend Luoyang.

However, Guo Peng's army needs to stay in place and not enter Luoyang.

Guo Peng was not surprised at all when he learned that he was named General Zuo, so he immediately asked the envoy about other officials' canonization. When he learned that Dong Zhuo was named Sikong, he finally felt relieved.

But Guo Peng was relieved, and his subordinates changed from joy at the beginning to displeasure.

"The lord is the first one, so why is it Dong Zhuo who became Sikong?!"

Cheng Li was very upset, and he was the first to fight for Guo Peng, so one after another, everyone under Guo Peng's command fought for him.

"Okay, I'm only 25 years old, and I'm already very satisfied with being General Zuo. I dare not have any dissatisfaction, and you don't have any dissatisfaction. After all, Mr. Dong was a state shepherd with rich experience. Sangong is fine."

After Guo Peng said so, the subordinates had no choice but to silence their drums.

"Zifeng, what are you going to do?"

Zang Hong looked at Guo Peng.

"What else can I do? Let's go to Beijing. It doesn't matter if you don't bring an army, at least the goal won't be so big."

Guo Peng said so.

Afterwards, Guo Peng handed over the authority over the army to Zang Hong and Cheng Li, took Cao Chun and Cao Ren brothers as personal guards, and fifty personal soldiers, and set off for Luoyang.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who learned that he was named Sikong, was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He immediately packed up and hurried to Luoyang.

Chapter 188 Eight Yuan Taifu's move

Only after Guo Peng and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing together did they know what happened to Luo Yang.

About 2000 eunuchs in the palace were killed by the troops led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Then He Miao, the chariot general, was killed by Wu Kuang in He Jin's trilogy.

The reason was that He Miao got too close to the eunuch and had always opposed He Jin's plan, which resulted in He Jin being killed.

He Miao became one of the culprits who killed He Jin and was executed by Wu Kuang. At that time, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min was present, as was Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

As soon as He Miao died, the He family's relatives in the imperial court completely lost their males and backbones, and the old people in the General's Mansion suddenly dispersed, ending their short-term glory.

Because of his excitement, Dong Zhuo was very fast. He led his army into Luoyang before Guo Peng, went to the court to thank him, and went to work, while Guo Peng was a little later.

It was not Cao Cao who welcomed Guo Peng into Luoyang, but Yuan Shu. Seeing Guo Peng enter the city, Yuan Shu immediately stepped forward and held Guo Peng's hand.

"I originally wanted Zifeng to lead troops into Luoyang, but I couldn't get permission. Uncle said that there are enough troops in Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo is a Sangong, so he can bring troops into Luoyang, but Zifeng can't."

Yuan Shu seemed to still feel a little guilty.

Guo Peng held Yuan Shu's hand tightly, and said, "It's okay, as long as my army is outside the city, it can still provide assistance for the highway. Moreover, I, the position of the left general, should also be grateful for the assistance of the highway."

Yuan Shu smiled, and then invited Guo Peng to get in the car. He and Guo Peng shared the same car.

"It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. It's just Zifeng. What do you think of Dong Zhuo?"

"Dong Zhuo... a rough warrior with outstanding military exploits and great prestige in the army. All the soldiers under his command are willing to obey his orders. He is very fierce."

"Uncle regards Dong Zhuo as Sikong, I am very worried."

Yuan Shu shook his head: "Although Dong Zhuo is an old official of my uncle, I always feel that what my uncle wants to do is not easy. My uncle trusts Dong Zhuo too much. Instead of handing over the army to his own children, he actually handed it over to Dong Zhuo. I don't like it." I understand what my uncle did."

Guo Peng kept this sentence in his heart.

"Dong Zhuo is a general from Xiliang, from Kansai, and he is not with us from Kanto."

Guo Peng aroused Yuan Shu's doubts with words, Yuan Shu frowned and nodded, but then said: "But uncle's intention, I can't disobey. Right now, the government is in the hands of uncle, and I'm just a rear general. Some forbidden troops can control it, but they cannot control the government."

"Then let's wait and see what happens. I believe the Taifu can grasp the overall situation."

Yuan Shu nodded after listening to Guo Peng's words.

After Guo Peng went to the imperial court to accept his post to thank him, he was taken by Yuan Shu to his mansion for a drink and chat. It was not until late that he was sent back to Cao Song's mansion, where Cao Cao lives now.

When he arrived at Cao's mansion, Guo Peng met Cao Cao.

"Zifeng, you are back."

When Cao Cao saw Guo Peng, he immediately took Guo Peng's hand and walked inside.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"I'm going to take you to meet someone."

Before Cao Cao had time to reminisce with Guo Peng, he brought Guo Peng to a middle-aged man.

"Bao Xin met the general!"

Bao Xin bowed to Guo Peng.

"Mr. Bao?"

Guo Peng was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

When Guo Peng returned to Luoyang before, he met Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng who worked in the General's Mansion under the introduction of Cao Cao.

He and Bao Xin had a pleasant conversation and had a drink together. Guo Peng was still a little surprised to see Bao Xin this time.

"Bao has something important to discuss with the general."

Bao Xin had a serious expression on his face.

"Please tell me, Mr. Bao."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Before, the general sent a few people from our mansion to go out to recruit troops, intending to bring back Luoyang Zhuang Dazheng, me, Qiao Mao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, the five of us dispersed to recruit troops.

But now only Zhang Liao and I rushed back, and no one else came back. We agreed before that the general would not act until we returned from recruiting troops, but now, the general has died before we return.

Not only that, even the General Cheqi was killed, and he was killed by that traitor Wu Kuang. If there was no conspiracy, Bao would never believe it!Although General Cheqi does not support the general to kill the eunuch, he will definitely not join forces with the eunuch to kill the general! "

Bao Xin looked angry.

Cao Cao also said to Guo Peng: "Before, the general was hesitant to recruit foreign soldiers into Luoyang. It was Yuan Benchu ​​who insisted on it. I objected. He even mocked me after calling me a eunuch, forcing me to argue."

"To be honest, I also find this strange. The death of the general is considered an accident, but the death of the general Che Qi is strange. He was still killed by Wu Kuang."

Guo Peng said in a low voice: "And Dong Zhuo will be made Sangong as soon as he arrives in Luoyang. Even if he has the merit of saving him, this is too fast, isn't it?"

"That's the problem."

Bao Xin said: "Earlier, I was surprised when I learned that Dong Zhuo was granted the title of Sangong, and the general may not know that just now, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang have led the general and the general of chariots. The old department has joined Dong Zhuo!"

"what?"

Guo Peng pretended to be surprised: "Did the former troops of the Great General and General Cheqi go to Dong Zhuo?"

"Because Dong Zhuo is Sikong and a former general, he was entrusted with military power by Yuan Taifu."

Bao Xin said angrily: "Those people are villains who are ungrateful for profit! For their own glory and wealth, they betrayed the old master! General, this is not good. Right now Luoyang's army is in Yuan Gonglu's hands except for a few. Ding Yuan, as Zhijinwu, controls an army, and the rest of the army is in the hands of Dong Zhuo."

"Brother, your West Garden Army..."

"It has already collapsed during the war, and it is estimated that they have all turned to Dong Zhuo now. I can't control it at all."

Cao Cao's face was full of bitterness: "I also think this sign is not right, and Yuan Taifu forbids you to lead troops into the city, but allows Dong Zhuo to lead troops into the city, I think it is very strange."

"But my relationship with Yuan Shu..."

"Zifeng, of course I know about your relationship with Yuan Shu, otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Yun Cheng to let you know about it. If it wasn't for your relationship with Yuan Shu, I suspect that you wouldn't even be able to enter Luoyang.
