At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng said again.

"Oh...well, where does Zifeng want to go?"

Yuan Shu was helpless, so he wanted to make up for Guo Peng and get him a good place to go.

"place……"

Guo Peng pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "If you can go to a place where there is a war that needs to be quelled...Qingzhou! Highway, I will go to Qingzhou. Last year, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and Xuzhou revived. Xuzhou has Tao Shijun to deal with the Yellow Turbans. , but Qingzhou has no governor, I wonder if Gonglu can win the post of governor of Qingzhou for me?"

"Qingzhou, that's a dangerous place. I heard that the yellow scarves in Qingzhou are very noisy. Zifeng, if you want to be the governor of Qingzhou, you will be in danger."

Yuan Shu seemed to want to persuade Guo Peng to choose a peaceful place.

"There are many crises, which is exactly what I hope. If a man can't quell the chaos for the country, it's not a pity to die."

Yuan Shu had nothing to say, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Then I will go through it for Zifeng. Zifeng wait a moment, and I will definitely accomplish this!"

Yuan Shu cupped his hands towards Guo Peng, asked Guo Peng to wait for the news, and then got up and went to the Taifu's mansion.

Not long after, Yuan Shu came to Taifu's mansion, visited his uncle Yuan Kai, and told Yuan Wei about Guo Peng's request for the post of governor of Qingzhou.

"He actually said such a thing?"

Yuan Kai was surprised when he heard Yuan Shu relay Guo Peng's words.

Guo Peng, political sensitivity is very strong.

He actually realized his fear of him, so he took the initiative to ask to leave, leaving room for both parties to turn around, and also preserved the relationship with Yuan Shu.

I am not very old, but it is not easy to have this political sensitivity.

On my side, I was racing against time to complete the act of abolishing the emperor in the shortest possible time, and not to give Queen Mother He the opportunity to recruit new relatives. Guo Peng and his soldiers and horses were unable to avoid a hurdle.

Ding Yuan is easy to solve, but Guo Peng is not easy to solve.

The gentry colleagues, Yingchuan people, and Lu Zhi's disciples all made Yuan Wei feel a little embarrassed. With him, Lu Zhi would definitely fight against him, and it would be difficult for him to do so.

And if he is not there, things will be much easier to handle, and Guo Peng's initiative to propose that he wants to leave probably also acquiesced in the fact that Yuan Shi is in charge of the government, and in exchange, he exchanged the condition that Yuan Shi would not harm his teacher .

He didn't know that he planned to abolish the emperor, if he knew, he probably wouldn't leave so easily.

This is a great thing for Yuan Kai. Guo Peng should be driven away before the abolition of Li, so things will be easier.

Yuan Kui thought it over carefully, and felt that such an approach would not cause any loss to him, and he could win over Guo Peng, killing two birds with one stone, so what could he not do?

So Yuan Kai nodded, and immediately ordered Shangshutai to draft the appointment document and prepare the seal, and strive to complete the matter as soon as possible and send Guo Peng away as soon as possible.

Once he left, there was more room for maneuver on his side.

Yuan Wei confidently considered the details of the subsequent operation.

Chapter 191 - Lu Bu's Decision

After receiving Yuan Kai's order, the officials at Shangshutai immediately carried out the order, and immediately prepared to appoint documents and seals, and quickly completed all procedures.

At noon that day, Yuan Kai appointed Yuan Shu as an emissary to go to the Cao Mansion where Guo Peng lived to worship him as Qingzhou Inspector.

And let him set off immediately, without delay, to save Qingzhou Li Shu from the fire and water as soon as possible, and put down the Yellow Turban rebels, so that he will live up to the emperor's kindness.

"Chen, Guo Peng, lead the order."

Guo Peng accepted the emperor's order and Yinshou, and was officially appointed as the governor of Qingzhou. He also led the left general and was ordered to hunt down thieves.

Right now, it is still very difficult to seal the state pastor, and although he is not a state pastor, the state governor actually has considerable powers.

From the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Han Dynasty, the authority of the governor continued to expand. From the supervisor at the beginning to the administrative officer at the end of the Han Dynasty, the governor was only six hundred shi at the beginning, but later he became an administrative official with two thousand shi.

The governor of Qingzhou is the best solution Guo Peng can get right now.

The Central Plains states and counties are within the sphere of influence of the Kanto.

And under the ravages of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Qingzhou suffered serious damage.

The powerful forces in the manor were severely damaged, and the local forces were severely hit. Scholars fled to Liaodong and Xuzhou one after another. Now is the time to reorganize.

And based on the premise of the three-way method, this is also the best choice.

He cut in at this time, not only has the righteous name to quell the rebellion, but also has the official appointment of the court, which is the best time.

It is much more legitimate than those generals and assassins who were later appointed by the Kwantung Allied Forces themselves.

Righteousness is still very meaningful. With the official appointment of the court, no matter who you are in control of the emperor, I have righteousness.

Based on this, Guo Peng has already thought up a series of plans. After gaining a foothold in Qingzhou, he will gradually expand his power along the Yellow River, spread to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and make Yuan Shao unhappy.

Moreover, Qingzhou has the benefits of sea salt, which can provide a great help for itself in terms of taxation.

The most wonderful thing is the existence of the Yellow Turban Army. With the existence of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Peng can extend his power wherever he wants, and attack and garrison troops in a fair and honest manner.

After handing the imperial edict and seal ribbon to Guo Peng, Yuan Shu held Guo Peng's hand and said, "Be careful when you go to Qingzhou. The Yellow Turban thieves are many and powerful, so it's not easy to deal with."

"Don't worry about the road, I have my own measure."

"That's how it is, Zifeng. After you settle down in Qingzhou, come back to discuss your duties, and we will have a drink together."

"Okay, Highway, take care."

"treasure."

Afterwards, Yuan Shu bid farewell and went back to return to his command. Guo Peng took the seal ribbon and the appointment document with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

But Bao Xin and Cao Cao were very happy.

"In this way, the general will be safe and sound."

"Zifeng, that's great, you've really become the governor of a state!"

Guo Peng looked at Cao Cao and Bao Xin and smiled helplessly.

"It's just a way to avoid disaster. What kind of happy event is Yuan Taifu giving me face and my teacher's face? Brother, are you really not going with me?"

"I will stay in Luoyang."

Cao Cao patted Guo Peng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will protect myself. You have to pay attention to it. The Yellow Turbans are raging in Qingzhou. You must be careful."

"I will."

Guo Peng nodded and asked Bao Xin to prepare. He went to meet Lu Zhi. After meeting Lu Zhi, he would leave today without staying. He would leave Luoyang and find a place to spend the night.

Later, Guo Peng went to see Lu Zhi.

"Teacher Yuan is going too far!"

Lu Zhi was dissatisfied with what happened to Guo Peng, and felt that Yuan Kai was deliberately exiling heroes to lay the foundation for his Yuan family to rule.

"Teacher, is this a solution? I have soldiers in my hands, and I am not an old official of the Yuan family. He will definitely not believe me, and he will be afraid of the teacher. If I leave, the teacher will be safe. Otherwise, we are all in danger." .”

"Can he still kill me?"

Lu Zhi cursed fiercely, and then his anger turned into helplessness: "The Yuan family is powerful, Zifeng, the teacher is incompetent, and can't protect you."

"It's not the teacher's fault, teacher, the students are not by your side, you have to protect yourself."

"Don't worry, Yuan Wei dare not harm me."

Guo Peng nodded and bid farewell to Lu Zhi.

Back at Cao Mansion, talking with Cao Ren and Cao Chun, and preparing to leave with Bao Xin, but before leaving, a middle-aged scholar hurriedly drove to the gate of Cao Mansion to meet Guo Peng.

It was Chen Lin, the one who opposed Yuan Shao's proposal.

"Chen Jun also wants to go with me?"

"Yes."

Chen Lin's face was full of embarrassment: "I am also an old official of the general. Under such circumstances, I really dare not stay in Luoyang any longer. Therefore, I have the audacity to come here, and I hope you will take me in."

"I see."

Guo Peng held Chen Lin's hand: "I heard that Chen Jun is very talented in literature earlier, so the general likes Chen Jun's articles very much. Chen Jun is willing to help me. I am very happy. Let's go, Chen Jun, to Qingzhou together."

"Thank you envoy!"

Chen Lin was overjoyed and left Luoyang with Guo Peng.

The news that Guo Peng was awarded the governor of Qingzhou and led his army to leave Luoyang soon spread throughout Luoyang City.

Many people thought that this incident happened very suddenly, and many people thought that it might be a precursor to something big.

They were right in their guess, because it really is a big deal.

Less than half an hour after Guo Peng left, Dong Min came to meet Lu Bu with a special mission.

"Guo Zifeng has really left?"

"That's natural, Mr. Lu, Guo Zifeng knows that Tai Tuo and Sikong can't disobey their intentions, so they offered to leave Luoyang and be appointed governor of Qingzhou. This is the benefit of cooperating with Tai Tuo and Sikong."

As a lobbyist, Dong Min has a very thorough grasp of Lu Bu's psychology.

"But your request is too much. Ding Jianyang is my lord. If you want me to kill Ding Jianyang, you are asking me to do something rebellious."

Lu Bu shook his head again and again.

"Teacher and Sikong said that you are not rebellious, so you are not rebellious."

Dong Min smiled and said, "The Taifu is in charge of the government, and Sikong is in charge of the military power. The whole world is ruled by the Taifu and Sikong. What is a mere Ding Jianyang? Lu Jun, you have to think about it. What Sikong can give you is Ding Jianyang. Can't give you.

Ding Jianyang is just a Jinwu, with only a few thousand soldiers under him, and Sikong has all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and his strength is far superior to Ding Jianyang. Ding Jianyang doesn't know good and bad, and death is a matter of time. Lu Jun wants to die with Ding Jianyang , or choose another path? "

Lu Bu was caught in a tangle.

"Can't I go directly to Sikong?"

"Sikong not only wants Lu Jun, but also Ding Yuan's army. If Lu Jun can't bring Ding Yuan's army there, it will not prove that Sikong needs Lu Jun."

Dong Min shook his head, cutting off Lu Bu's delusions.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh.

"Ding Jianyang appointed me as the master bookkeeper, and he is very close to me. I can be where I am today, thanks to Ding Jianyang's support."

"Sikong will give you the title of marquis and general, and give you glory and wealth. You will have a better tomorrow instead of stopping at today."

Dong Min's words hit Lu Bu's heart word by word.

Interests and affection, the balance in Lu Bu's heart was constantly swaying.

Then, it fell firmly on the side of interests.

Zhi Jinwu, who has no future, dies.

The three princes of the imperial court with a bright future, born.

This decision was not as difficult as Lu Bu imagined, and even after making it, Lu Bu felt a little relaxed.

Lu Bu drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"Will Sikong give me the title of marquis and general?"

"of course."

Lu Bu punched the desk in front of him.

"I see. Tomorrow, I will go to see Sikong and bring Ding Jianyang's head with me."

"Sikong will wait for Lu Jun's arrival."

Dong Min knew that the matter was over.

Chapter 192

When Dong Min and Lu Bu were discussing how to deal with Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo entertained Yuan Shao and a group of old officials from the former Great General's Mansion with a certain purpose.

At the banquet, everyone was drinking, chatting and enjoying singing and dancing, but Dong Zhuo suddenly mentioned the matter of abolishing Liu Bian and establishing Liu Xie.

The lively atmosphere at the banquet suddenly stagnated, and the air felt frozen.
