At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The reputation effect brought about by this kind of credit will be stronger than Cai Yong and Yuan Shu's combined five-year bragging, because this is a real achievement that everyone can see and cannot be erased.

Everyone knows that you are famous, but what have you really done?

The common trick of the gentry is to blow it to the outside, but to the inside, I know it clearly in my heart.

What is this person, and what is this person? On the surface, everyone brags about it, but everyone knows it clearly in their hearts.

Usually when business is boasting to each other, when it really comes to the core interest link, it is the time to test the real ability.

In the troubled times, whoever is really capable will really have someone to rely on, entrusting the interests of the family and the future. At that time, it is the time to fight with all your strength for the Lord, even at the expense of your own life.

The battle against Dong is the time when real gold is smelted, when those famous and famous people gather together, who is the real hero and who is the big bear, everyone in the world knows at a glance.

Everyone doesn't care much now, but when the chaos in the world is out of control and people in the world really realize that the chaos is coming, the gap will be widened in an instant.

Dong Zhuo is destined to become a tool for someone Guo to gain fame.

And from this moment on, someone Guo really possessed the political capital to compete with the heroes for the world.

Because no matter how many calculations Guo has in his heart, what is the starting point for doing this thing, how treacherous and cunning, but what he has done is real and cannot be denied.

He first defeated the national traitor Dong Zhuo.

Bao Xin was overwhelmed by Guo Peng's admiration, and was very excited. He toasted Guo Peng repeatedly at the celebration banquet, and his words revealed the attitude that he would go as he wants in the future.

Wei Zi was even more straightforward. He directly took more than a thousand troops he had recruited to join Guo Peng, saying that he would not return to Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao in the future, and that he would take the whole clan to join Guo Peng and follow Guo Peng in the battle. .

Guo Peng also simply named him Captain Yiyong.

Straightforward, crisp, without any sloppiness.

So a group of people prepared for battle in Xingyang with high morale.

On August 29, Gongsun Zan sent someone to report that he had successfully captured the emptied Revolving Gate Pass and had already controlled the pass city, so Guo Peng led his army to the Revolving Gate Pass immediately.

Guo Peng was overjoyed, praised Gongsun Zan for his unstoppable bravery, and immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw from the camp and march towards the Revolving Gate Pass.

On the morning of the second day of September, Guo Peng led his army to the Revolving Gate Pass, where he garrisoned at the Revolving Gate Pass. Hu watched Luoyang and ordered the army to take a further rest and prepare ring swords, spears, shields, crossbows, arrows, etc. Prepared to deal with Dong Zhuo's more army.

At the same time, as Guo Peng guessed, Dong Zhuo was furious in Luoyang, reprimanding Xu Rong for his incompetence, and ordered Xu Rong to be removed from his position and title and thrown into prison.

Then, he really couldn't eat or sleep well, like a frightened bird.

Eating my favorite barbecue, but I can't chew the taste. Looking at the dancing girl's moving figure and soft tulle, I can't arouse any desire.

Lying on the bed, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Guo Peng rushing towards him with a big gun and piercing his body.

Especially when he learned that Guo Peng sent people to attack the Revolving Gate Pass, and the news that the Revolving Gate Pass was in Guo Peng's hands, Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he got up in the middle of the night and recruited his trusted Bingzhou native Liangzhou Formed a team to discuss how to deal with Guo Peng's offensive.

Many generals under Dong Zhuo's command thought that Xu Rong underestimated the enemy. Xu Rong underestimated the enemy and was careless, so he lost to Guo Peng.

Dong Yue invited [-] troops to attack Guo Peng, vowing not only to take back the revolving door pass, but also to dedicate Guo Peng's head to Dong Zhuo.

Hu Zhen invited [-] soldiers, saying that he would also behead Guo Peng and dedicate it to Dong Zhuo.

Niu Fu simply asked for [-] soldiers to kill Guo Peng's entire army and make it into a Beijing temple to deter those who disrespect Dong Zhuo from all over the world.

Dong Zhuo was very relieved, but he always felt that they were unreliable, exaggerated one by one, and felt that they were just giving away their heads.

Now that Guo Peng holds the initiative and occupies Xiongguan, what he has to worry about is not whether he can kill him, but whether he can deal with his offensive!

There is no danger in front of Luo Yang, unless there is a direct field battle.

At this time, Li Ru came up with an idea.

"Xiangguo grasps the righteousness of the court, why not issue an edict in the name of the emperor, give Guo Peng the title of marquis and general, give him a high position, rich salary, glory and wealth, promise marriage for his children, and even give glory and wealth to his relatives and friends.

As long as he declares his name, everyone can be named a marquis, and his parents, wife and children can all be given titles. In this way, fighting can be turned into jade, and Guo Peng can be used for his own use. The Kwantung Allied Forces are still local chickens and dogs, inserting bids and selling heads generation? "

"This... can it work?"

Dong Zhuo had some doubts.

"Guo Peng is the only one who is worrying enough for the Kwantung Allied Forces. As long as he joins the Xiangguo, the Xiangguo's great affairs will be accomplished. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are just dead bones in the grave. At that time, the world will be in the hands of the Xiangguo."

Li Ru advised so.

"In this case... well, send an envoy to discuss peace with Guo Peng, and give him whatever he wants, as long as he takes refuge in me... No, he takes refuge in the court and obeys the emperor's orders."

Dong Zhuo was quite confident.

But at the same time, Zhong Lang raised Duan Yan's concern.

"Xiangguo, looking at Guo Peng as a person, it doesn't seem to be able to be moved by high-ranking officials, riches and wealth, should we stay behind?"

Duan Yan's words made Dong Zhuo think so.

If Guo Peng likes prosperity and wealth, that's fine, but this person doesn't seem to like the appearance of prosperity and wealth very much. If he fails to persuade him to surrender, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity?

Dong Zhuo thought Duan Yan's words were reasonable, so he ordered Dong Yue and Niu Fu to lead their subordinates, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu and others, to command [-] troops to guard Gong County.

Dong Zhuo asked them to hold the last line of defense east of Luoyang and fight for him as a final buffer. If he couldn't contain Guo Peng's offensive, he should retreat.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo sent Li Ru as a lobbyist, went east to Xingyang, asked to see Guo Peng, stated his interests to him, and turned hostility into friendship.

Then, Dong Zhuo did one more thing.

Chapter 220 220 The Existence of the Discussion Board Alliance Is Like a Joke

Dong Zhuo heard that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was dead, so he decided to send Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han family and one of the famous party figures, as the governor of Jingzhou.

It doesn't look like much, but it does a great job.

Dong Zhuo couldn't eat well and sleep well because of Guo Peng's victory, but this doesn't mean that everyone except Dong Zhuo can eat well and be healthy.

Especially those who were defeated before Guo Peng and those who dared not march.

For example, Yuan Shao, and those famous people from Suanzao.

In the battle where Dong Zhuo defeated Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao actually stationed troops in Hanoi to command.

Wang Kuang was his vanguard, and Yuan Shao also planned to send troops to fight Dong Zhuo directly, but he lost, so he had to stop and continue to wait and see the situation.

As a result, this wait-and-see led to the news that Guo Peng had defeated Xu Rong's army in Xingyang.

Knowing that the first victory against Dong Zhuo was won by Guo Peng, Yuan Shao was overjoyed at first, and was soon awakened by his counselor Xu You.

"Guo Peng's defeat of Xu Rong is of course something to be happy about, but the general should not forget that Guo Peng is Yuan Gonggong's confidant. Guo Peng's defeat of Xu Rong will only increase the reputation of himself and Yuan Gonggong, and has nothing to do with the general. The general isn't worried, but I'm privately worried about the general."

Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses.

"That's true. Guo Zifeng has a close relationship with Gonglu. I heard that this time, he also made an appointment with Gonglu to gather troops in Luoyang, fight against Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and return to Luoyang in the east to welcome the saint. If this is the case, wouldn't it be..."

"If Guo Zifeng is allowed to succeed, the world must be in the hands of Yuan Gonggong and Guo Zifeng. This is not good for the general. The general is the eldest son, but Yuan Gonggong is the son. If there is a son, there will be a son. If there is no son, there will be no son. Chief, in terms of righteousness, the general does not have the upper hand."

Xu You said: "The Kwantung Allied Forces' crusade against Dong Zhuo seems to be very powerful, but how many of them are sincere, and how many of them use the name of the general to fish in troubled waters. Can the general distinguish clearly? I privately think that the general needs to fight for himself. Considered."

After Yuan Shao listened, he kept silent, talked less, and asked again: "What does Ziyuan think I should do?"

"The general has a great reputation and is the leader of the alliance, but he only occupies a small county of Bohai, and is still being suppressed by the Hanwen Festival everywhere. Don't the general feel that this is not a long-term solution?"

Xu You narrowed his eyes, and his face was sullen: "If the general wants to achieve great things, he must have a foundation. Right now, the foundation bestowed by the heavens on the general is right in front of him. Why doesn't the general take it?"

Yuan Shao asked suspiciously, "What did Ziyuan say?"

"Jizhou!"

Xu You said in a low voice: "Although Jizhou is small, there are millions of people who can wear armor and go to battle. The food in the treasury is enough to last ten years. Isn't this the foundation of the general's career?"

"Jizhou Mu is Hangeul Festival, I'm just one of his eunuchs, how can I take over Jizhou?"

Yuan Shao was full of surprise: "Besides, I don't have a sense of righteousness. Do I need to send troops to attack the Hanwen Festival? Even if I win in this way, how can I explain to the people of the world? How can I convince the people? This is not appropriate, this is not appropriate. !"

"Those who have achieved major events do not have a state as their foundation, how can they live and work? Han Wenjie controls Jizhou, and as long as he gives an order, he can cut off the general's food and salary supply. The Bohai Sea is small and cannot supply the general's soldiers' salary and food. Where are you?"

When Xu You said this, Yuan Shao suddenly felt unhappy.

Anyone who is threatened to survive by being choked like this will feel unhappy in his heart.

"Having said that, but Ziyuan, Hanwenjie holds a heavy army and is in charge of Jizhou. In terms of military strength and food, I am not as good as Hanwenjie. Now it is the time when the alliance is attacking Dong Zhuo. How can I attack Hanwenjie and actively destroy the alliance? What? Isn’t this a suicide attempt?”

Yuan Shao was still hesitant.

"At present, Yuan Gonglu occupies Yuzhou, Guo Zifeng occupies Qingzhou, and they occupy half of the rich land in the Central Plains. If the general does not have one state, or even two states and three states, how can he compete with Yuan Gonglu and Guo Zifeng? Discuss Dong Alliance, break up as soon as you say it!"

Xu You's words hit Yuan Shao's heart, Yuan Shao frowned and kept silent for a long time, then raised his head to look at Xu You.

"Ziyuan thought, what should I do best?"

"This matter can't be rushed, let alone leaked, it needs to be done slowly, Feng Ji Guang has a strategy, the general can discuss it with Feng Ji."

Xu You told Yuan Shao what he was thinking, and suggested that Yuan Shao and Feng Ji should discuss more.

Therefore, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance against Dong, took the lead in thinking of destroying the alliance for his own benefit.

And the existence of the League of Directors is like a joke.

Yuan Shao has his own thoughts here, which of the celebrities in Suanzao doesn't have their own thoughts?

Knowing that Guo Peng was victorious, the celebrities who were frightened like quail by Dong Zhuo immediately flocked up, expressing their bravery and fearlessness, and announcing that they would lead their troops to Luoyang to join forces with Guo Peng to attack Dong Zhuo. .

Then, there was a quarrel about who would go first and who would stay behind to prepare logistics for everyone.

Seeing that the meritorious service could be obtained, everyone rushed to go to Luoyang to grab the meritorious service, and no one wanted to fall behind.

There was a rift between Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.

Qiao Mao insisted that he was the son of Taiwei Qiaoxuan, and he didn't give Liu Dai face. Liu Dai hated Qiao Mao very much, so he ordered his subordinates to attack Qiao Mao. Of course Qiao Mao wanted to fight back, and the two fought.

This fight was good, and the situation of Suanzao suddenly became chaotic.

There are those who persuade the fight, those who persuade the fight on the surface but incite the flames, and those who fish in troubled waters.

Liu Dai and Qiao Mao couldn't decide the winner, so they each recruited others as their own help to increase their momentum, and the scale of chaos suddenly expanded a lot.

A group of celebrities without a unified command refused to accept anyone, and it almost turned into a big melee.

Before Dong Zhuo was beaten, the people around here started fighting first, and it was fine to fight by themselves, and some people took the opportunity to connive at their subordinates to plunder Chen Liu's city, Zhang Miao was very upset.

Gathering troops on my territory, how dare you destroy my territory?

Zhang Miao began to gather troops to protect the cities under his jurisdiction, and began not to provide food to these "rebels".

As a result, none of their troops were able to go in the direction of Luoyang.

It would be better if they didn't come, Guo Peng would only feel annoyed if they came.

A bunch of trash.

Guo Peng is not in the mood to play war games with this group of trash, he is now facing "persuasion" from Li Ru sent by Dong Zhuo.

On the fourth day of September, when Guo Peng was still rectifying his army at the Revolving Gate Pass and preparing to go out, Li Ru came to Guo Peng's barracks in the name of an imperial envoy.

Guo Peng then summoned the Gongsun brothers, Bao Xin, Bao Tao, Wei Zi, and all the generals under his command to see what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd.

Chapter 221 How can a dignified Hanchen join hands with Han thieves in 220

As a lobbyist, Li Ru used his eloquence when he came up, and belittled the Kwantung Allied Forces like rubbish.

"The Kwantung Allied Forces are called to crusade against Xiangguo, but in fact each has its own ideas and selfishness. It is called to fight against Dong, and it is actually to expand its strength and compete for territory.

The general is loyal and brave, dedicated to the country, but he is deceived by them, and he is a pawn of the Kwantung Allied Forces without knowing it. "

In Li Ru's mouth, the princes of the Kwantung coalition army are completely unable to accomplish anything and are doomed to failure. There is no prerequisite, and Guo Peng should not fight for them.

Guo Peng felt that what Li Ru said was wrong.

Garbage can still be recycled and reused anyway, but the waste of the Kwantung Allied Army is not even eligible for recycling.

They live in a waste of food, air and water. They only know how to eat but don't know where the food comes from, causing the common people to suffer and suffer.

If killing them had no side effects, Guo Peng would be able to return to the army now and wipe them all out.

But it can't be done, they have a righteous reputation, Dong Zhuo lost in the public opinion war, and he has no righteous reputation.

Guo Peng is on the side of righteousness and fame.
