At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

In mid-November, Cao Cao arrived in Qingzhou and then Linzi.

Soon, Cao Cao saw Guo Peng who was planning to attack Le'an State and expel the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Le'an State.

"What? Dong Zhuo actually became the prime minister?"

When Guo Peng heard Cao Cao say this, he pretended to be surprised, but he was quite interested in his heart. He asked Cao Cao for details, and Cao Cao told Guo Peng what he had seen and heard as an outsider.

Guo Peng sorted out the whole incident from it, and he basically understood how Yuan Kai operated like a tiger in a wave, and then threw himself into the ditch.

Thinking that he can control everything, that he can play with everyone in the world, and become a high-ranking chess player, this face of aristocrats for many generations is really ugly to the extreme.

Deserve it.

"It seems that the Luoyang court has already been controlled by Dong Zhuo. Brother, what are your plans?"

"What plans can I have? I was forced to flee, and I don't know the situation in Luoyang right now, so I can only wait and see. Zifeng, I'm here to rely on you."

Cao Cao sighed and said with a helpless smile: "At the beginning, you said that if you became the governor, you would ask me to come to you. Now that I am here, how do you plan to arrange me?"

Guo Peng was overjoyed and held Cao Cao's hand.

"I will reserve the position of Prime Minister of Jinan for my elder brother. Elder brother, have you forgotten what you didn't do at the beginning?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a while, then shook his head.

"I dare not forget my original ambition."

Guo Peng was very happy, and immediately listed Cao Cao as Prime Minister of Jinan.

Next, Guo Peng talked with him about the current situation in Qingzhou, his plans for the future, and the decision to farm in the counties and counties currently available.

"This is indeed a good way to gather refugees. That is to say, the current situation is chaotic. Many landowners have gone to other places in order to escape. The land has become unclaimed land. We must use these lands to accommodate refugees and organize them to farm. , and then the government collects grain and accepts it for public use?"

When Cao Cao asked, Guo Peng nodded decisively.

"That's right, big brother. At present, I have fully implemented the policy of farming in Qi State, and Jinan State and Yuanyuan County are rolling it out. I need you to fully organize the farming in Jinan State for me. In this way, when the spring begins, When the land can be cultivated, the situation in Qingzhou will be more stable."

Cao Cao nodded happily.

"Don't worry, Zifeng, leave this kind of thing to me."

Guo Peng stroked Cao Cao's back and walked side by side with him, asking: "I know that it is my elder brother's long-cherished wish to do something for the common people in the world, and now hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan are waiting for my elder brother to help them. , everything is up to you."

Cao Cao smiled, held Guo Peng's hand tightly, and said, "We are a family. I will try my best to do what you entrusted to me. If I can't, just punish me."

After a while, Cao Cao talked about his worries to Guo Peng again.

"Before I left Luoyang, I heard that many scholars in Luoyang were criticizing Dong Zhuo in private, and I also heard that someone conspired to depose Dong Zhuo and welcome the Grand Tutor Yuan Kui back to power. It's not a good thing for the country."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes.

"No matter how chaotic the situation in Luoyang is, it will be chaos in Luoyang. Let's just manage Qingzhou well and wipe out the Yellow Turbans. No matter how chaotic the situation is, Qingzhou will not be in chaos."

"Too."

Cao Cao nodded like this.

Not long after, Cao Cao got to know the people under Guo Peng's command under the introduction of Guo Peng. Then Cao Cao was eager to go to Jinan to take office and want to make achievements, so Guo Peng arranged an administrative team for Cao Cao.

Guo Peng said that this is a team with administrative experience trained in Shanggu County to ensure that Cao Cao can start governing as soon as he arrives in Jinan.

Cao Cao was very happy, and said something like "If Jinan is not well managed now, I should ask you to take the blame", Guo Peng just laughed, and then watched Cao Cao go to Jinan.

Afterwards, Guo Peng began to arrange for Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's troops to enter Le'an State to build a forward base and spy on the specific movements of the Yellow Turban Army.

During this period of time, Guo Peng recruited troops from Jinan and Yuanyuan County in the Qi State, and selected tall and tall refugees from among the refugees to join the army. He recruited thousands of new recruits, replenished the army to [-], and then vigorously trained troops to prepare for war.

In order to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Peng can recruit troops to prepare for the war in an upright manner. No one knows that Guo Peng is also preparing for the war against Dong Zhuo.

In fact, people in the world do not know that a violent turmoil is coming, and Guo Peng is not sure when this turmoil will start.

Until late November, near December, Guo Peng received a reward edict from the imperial court.

Because Guo Peng defeated the [-] Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and made great achievements in battle, the imperial court appointed Guo Peng as Qingzhou Shepherd, strengthened his power, and asked Guo Peng to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible.

It also specifically stated that it was Dong Zhuo, the Prime Minister, who asked the emperor to appoint Guo Peng as the shepherd of Qingzhou.

Dong Joo really looks like he wants Guo Peng to thank him.

In fact, Guo Peng really wanted to thank Dong Zhuo deeply in his heart.

To be honest, Guo Peng didn't expect Dong Zhuo to do this, so he sent him a big gift.

He also thought that he wanted to learn from Liu Biao, and when Li Jue and Guo Si were in chaos, he would send envoys to the court to worship, and then the two brainless leading courts, Li Jue and Guo Si, would change the governor to the governor of the state, justifiably separatist.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Dong Zhuo would justifiably give himself the right to separate the party, especially in this stall where he was about to be considered a traitor.

There is such a good thing?

Is luck really concentrated on me?

The insidious, cunning and ambitious Guo is so happy that he almost wants to play Thomas full game.

Does Dong Zhuo really know what state herd means?

It is still at this stall that he is appointed as the state shepherd.

It means that from now on, he can openly reject all the decrees from the court that are not good for him.

If it is beneficial to him, he will admit that it is the emperor's edict.

Those who are unfavorable to him can be completely rejected by simply saying "Han thief Dong Zhuo" or "Han thief Li Jue Guo Si" without paying attention at all.

Then the county magistrates in various places can also be directly dismissed and appointed, directly forming a relationship between superiors and subordinates. The military, government and financial power is in the hands, and they can do what they want without having to go through the process of going to the imperial court. .

When the officials and generals under Guo Peng learned that the imperial court granted Guo Peng the title of Shepherd of Qingzhou, they were not very surprised, but simply congratulated them.

Because they don't know, their status and political interests will be guaranteed to the maximum extent from now on.

They don't know that the world is about to be in chaos, the emperor is about to become a show, and Guo Peng will become their de facto emperor. They think this is to increase their power.

The state pastor has too much power, and the court must be worried. At that time, Guo Peng will be closely monitored, and their life will become difficult.

So even some people are worried in private.

They quickly learn that they made a mistake.

Chapter 204 The anger and ambition in Guo Peng's heart are growing crazily

With the arrival of this edict, Guo Peng also found out that Dong Zhuo had sealed the governors of three prefectures, as well as a large number of prefects, all of whom were "famous scholars".

Naturally, Guo Peng is also a celebrity.

A famous scholar and general from Yingchuan, a disciple of Lu Zhi, a famous scholar in China, Cai Yong, a famous scholar, played for him for free. He has a great reputation and meets the standard.

Yes, since Cai Yong played Guo Peng in Jiangdong, he came to Qingzhou to play Guo Peng again.

Taking advantage of the convenience of setting up a school in Linzi and recruiting scholars as students, Cai Yong was very happy and began to boast about Guo Peng, almost going to overtake Yuan Shu and become the number one Guo Peng in the world.

Leaving aside these things, Dong Zhuo appointed Guo Peng as Qingzhou Shepherd, and then sealed so many state governors, state herdsmen and county prefects in one breath.

There are probably people behind this who are fueling the flames.

Yuan Kui, you really don't give up...

After hearing the news, Guo Peng knew that the coalition forces to challenge Dong Zhuo were coming.

As expected of the Yuan family, they are ruthless, tough, and confident.

He Jin didn't even let himself go after the trap was over.

Starting with the Yuan family, the princes of the world crusade against Dong Zhuo and marched towards Luoyang, justifiably using their ministers to defeat the emperor, without any regard for the dignity of the emperor and his ministers, and trampled him under their feet.

So where does Dong Zhuo have the qualifications to take the lead in harming the world?

This qualification is only available to the Yuan family who has four generations and three generations, and only the Yuan family who has disciples and old officials all over the world.

But it's useless to ask Dong Zhuo's army to come, because it's okay for these people to use their mouths to play tricks.

Isn't it clear to see their performance?

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. His roots were Zhengmiaohong.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County, is one of the eight party cooks (cooks who say they can save people with money).

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, was a son of Taiwei Qiaoxuan, who was called "very powerful" in history.

Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, is Yuan Shao's cousin. He is known as "the man who is the best in the world, the amount of time he works, his loyalty and integrity, and the integrity of the sky. What you see is famous".

Wait, wait, it was a blast.

It's a hype.

It seems that these celebrities who have been dressed for many generations are all amazing talents who can manage the army and herdsmen when they are on horseback.

But the result?

After Suanzao held a large social gathering, eating, drinking and having fun, they broke up.

One by one, the famous ones who broke the sky, when they really wanted to do something, they were all scared, and no one dared to confront Dong Zhuo head-on.

Oh, and not just passed.

These celebrities led the army to attack Dong Zhuo, and when the food and grass were running low, they treated the civilians in the counties and counties quite rigidly.

Just arrived, the ground was covered with blood, and corpses were strewn all over the field, not even a chicken feather was left.

Of course, in the history books, of course, it needs to be maintained by Qubi, after all, they are all their own people.

However, occasionally there are a few historians who really can't stand it, with the last shred of conscience, leaving a few words in the history books, so that future generations can trace how these amazing talents "show their talents".

These famous people, these clothes of many generations, and these noble children are really "heroes"!

In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, "heroes" really came out in large numbers!

That's why Wen Tianxiang said that when the seasons are poor, we will see them one by one.

When the current situation reaches the end of the road, people's true colors will be revealed. The names of real heroes will last forever, and those who blow it out can only become a laughing stock.

Blow it, blow it, blow it to the end, blow it to your true colors, what else can you do?

Haven't they been torn apart one by one by me?

The anger and ambition in Guo Peng's heart grew crazily, and continued to grow with the increase in military power.

When Guo Peng knew that his opponents were actually weak chickens, and that the real power was not them, but the family background and local power they represented, Guo Peng felt much less afraid of them.

Compared with them, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who risked their lives to seek thieves, are really innocent and cute.

Sun Jian, who is begging for thieves in Changsha, and Cao Cao, who is working hard to arrange refugee resettlement in Jinan, are so cute.

Dong Zhuo thought I was the same as those celebrities?

Ha ha.

Brother Dong, in a sense, we are the same kind of people.

But I am different from you.

I'll be more civilized than you, I'll be softer than you.

Of course, I am also more deceitful than you, and I am also better than you.

I can be more treacherous than you, I can be more hypocritical than you, I can be more fierce than you, I can be more cruel than you.

All the negative words in the world can be used to describe me, and I don't mind, because in order to achieve my goal, I may do all these things.

As long as I can achieve my goal.

As long as I can tear apart this dark, troubled world and reshape the world, that's fine.

So, Brother Dong, please, you go ahead and clear the way for me. In the future, if I lose, I may die without a burial place. At that time, we will be infamous together forever.

But in case, in case I win, I will go to your tombstone and sprinkle you with a glass of water and wine, wishing you a long life and wishing me not a bad life.

Guo Peng put away the edict of appointment, looked at the military map again, thought about how to expel the Yellow Turbans of Le'an Kingdom, and then tried every means to expel them into Yanzhou as an establishment.

Otherwise, how could he have an excuse to annex Yanzhou?

Of course not now, to take advantage of the coming chaos and fish in troubled waters.
