At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Stir up the situation and fight against Dong Zhuo, these two brothers are the main initiators, and they go both ways to fight against Dong Zhuo, and only they have the status and qualifications to do so.

It is necessary to form a good relationship with them. Since Yuan Shao cannot be formed, it is better to learn from Sun Jian and make friends with Yuan Shu, which is worse than nothing.

The energy behind them is incomparable to a hundred Guo Peng.

However, Guo Peng is indeed a relatively famous new star recently, and his image is very good.

Taking advantage of several political disturbances, he single-handedly reversed the unfavorable factors of marrying Cao's family, and everyone in Luoyang was ignorant, so he got a little attention from the Yuan family.

Making friends with famous people is something that senior scholars often do at this time, which can also improve their reputation and the depth of their connections, which is beneficial to each other.

This time Cao Cao invited Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao didn't go. Yuan Shu wanted to join in the fun when he heard that, which was considered to give Cao Cao a face, and met Lu Zhi and Guo Peng by the way.

"Zifeng is young and promising. When you stood on the stage and kicked Xu Shao's old dog, I was very happy. To tell you the truth, I have seen that the old dog has been uncomfortable for a long time, but I just don't think it's good to do so. Well, I didn't expect Zifeng to do it in the end, it's really heartwarming! Hahaha!"

Yuan Shu joked with Guo Peng with a slight smile.

"Yuan Lang was too famous. At that time, Peng was really not a little more important. Now that I think about it, I am a little scared."

Guo Peng looked unbearable.

"Really?"

Yuan Shu teased and said, "Zifeng is sitting in front of Tingwei's mansion alone, risking his life to anger Yang Qiu and confront Yang Qiu head-on. It doesn't seem like it was done by someone without courage. Your evaluation is really not wrong, you have the courage to take on big things."

Yuan Shu patted Guo Peng on the shoulder.

Guo Peng looked happy beyond words.

"To get such praise from Yuan Lang, Peng is terrified."

"There are always many young heroes in the world. More than ten years ago, when I was young, I also had the idea of ​​becoming a hero. When I think about it now, I envy Zifeng. Zifeng needs to study hard and graduate from Taixue in the future. It is not difficult to become an official in the court.”

Yuan Shu said so, he said hello to Cao Cao, and left Qiao County with a group of entourage.

Guo Peng watched Yuan Shu leave, and after Yuan Shu left, he turned to look at Cao Cao.

"Brother, let's go back."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng and couldn't help but ask, "Does Zifeng understand the meaning of Yuan Cai's words just now?"

"understood."

Guo Peng said slowly: "Brother, I have heard that Yuan Ben was originally named Shouxiao and lived in seclusion in Luoyang. In fact, he was constantly in contact with various celebrities and tyrants. The battle for the next generation of the Yuan family was actually made public. It's good that we know the secret, Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Benchu ​​are both seeking a future for themselves."

Cao Cao blinked and sighed.

"Zifeng is smart, I'm not as good as that. Now that Zifeng understands and is already an adult, then Zifeng, I have been friends with Ben Chu for a long time. For Yuan Gonggong, let Zifeng come."

Guo Peng also understood what Cao Cao meant.

They are all from their own family, so there is no need to say two words.

What Cao Cao meant was that in the future he would follow Yuan Shao and let Guo Peng follow Yuan Shu. No matter who the Yuan family was in the future, the Cao family and the Guo family were one.

This is the same as the reason why aristocratic wealthy families spread their children out to serve as officials and different forces in order to seek family safety in troubled times. Multi-line investment can always yield something.

In fact, when it comes to taking refuge, Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, is the one who should seek refuge most, but he is the eldest son and the first heir. As long as he does not have any problems, no one should try to shake his position. He needs to make friends with Guo Peng and Cao Cao. Such a person?

Some people with noble status can't do it even if they want to be a jerk.

In this era, and in the early chaotic times in the future, the Yuan family is the number one elephant-legged in the sky, terrifyingly thick, and may even replace the Han court as emperor.

So at this time, there is nothing bad about making good friends with the second son of the Yuan family.

When their fathers passed away and they inherited the Yuan family business, whoever was a high-ranking official and whoever went to hell, in fact, in terms of Yuan's energy, it was completely possible in normal seasons.

Cao Cao didn't know about the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and a series of events that followed, and he never imagined that he would come from behind and become Yuan's gravedigger, so it was quite normal to have such thoughts.

Guo Peng knew, so Guo Peng decisively followed Cao Cao's suggestion.

People are born to be big bosses, and we have a low status, and it is actually very good to have the dog legs of big bosses.

There is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's expression of this meaning. How many people want to be a jerk, but they can't be, and they are not qualified.

Guo Peng is an adult and no longer has the immunity of being a boy. If he wants to fight his way in this fiercely competitive power field, there is no other way.

At present, Cao Chi has lost his position, and Cao Cao has also lost his position. Only Cao Song is the backbone of the official in Luoyang. The Cao family hopes that Guo Peng can contribute and help share a little. After all, everyone is a family.

Hold a group, you must hold a group.

Although Guo Peng has Lu Zhi and Cao Song as protective umbrellas, the mountains and mountains will fall, and everyone will run away. .

Guo Peng wants to be independent as soon as possible and have his own power and network of relationships.

When something goes wrong, it is good that someone "runs" for him.

Chapter 53. 53 A student is a disciple of the teacher, not a lackey of the Yuan family

For the crown ceremony and marriage, Guo Peng asked the Taixue for a relatively long leave.

Taixue was not embarrassed, and agreed directly. The vacation could last until mid-October, and then Guo Peng would take Cao Lan to Luoyang.

Newly married Yan Er, he naturally wants to stay with Cao Lan, and Cao Lan also wants to stay with him and not be separated. The two seem to be glued together, they are inseparable at all, and they are with each other from morning to night. .

This made Cao's Xiahou family's friends and Zang Hong, who wanted to continue a pleasant game with Guo Peng, tangled.

Guo Peng really didn't care about his little friends, and he was suspected of putting more emphasis on sex than friends... No, it's a fact.

After marrying Cao Lan, Guo Peng completely forgot about those little friends and regarded them as air, only Cao Lan in his heart.

Beloved wife, bedside person, and life partner, is this little cutie.

Guo Peng has never felt like he has a strong sense of mission to protect Cao Lan, without any political ambition or special calculations, a pure, extremely pure feeling of wanting to protect Cao Lan.

The name of this feeling is probably happiness.

In this era, the words of the matchmaker, who were ordered by parents, have lost their freedom, but they may not have been the love of their lives in exchange.

In fact, free love is just an appearance modification, it looks good and works.

The more you grow and the more you understand, the more you realize that the right match is the essence.

The principle of "matching each other" deep in the marriage rules will not change, no matter how the appearance changes, how the law is explained, and what young people pursue, the core will never change.

A few occasional exceptions do not change the whole environment.

When Western ideas came, free love was seen as politically correct, romantic, and absolutely correct.

Even if the husband cheats or the wife cheats, as long as it is called free love, there is no fault.

What can cuckold idiots do?

In the face of the betrayers who betrayed the truth in the name of freedom, how should they defend their rights?

How to heal the pain in my heart?

Time flies, and looking back now, it seems too ridiculous and too shameless.

On the soil of the birth of free love, there are well-matched interest combinations everywhere. Love is love, marriage is marriage, and the distinction is clear.

The only difference is that in the past, it was the parents who considered this issue, and the sons and daughters were not eligible. Now the sons and daughters are included, and the whole family considers this issue together.

Do you have a room at home?Do you have a car?How much is the salary?How much is the property?Is there any foreign debt?Brother geometry?Sister geometry?Are the parents healthy?

Look, has it changed?

At night, when Cao Lan fell asleep sweetly in her arms, Guo Peng thought carefully and came to this conclusion.

So he hugged Cao Lan tightly in his arms, kissed her on the cheek, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It is still free to let him do it. In this life, it is Cao Lan.

He is very happy.

And the happy marriage leave soon ended.

On October [-], when the autumn wind was blowing, and the food crops in the family manor were being harvested, Guo Peng and Cao Lan were about to set off for Luoyang.

When Guo Peng brought Cao Lan and Zang Hong back to Luoyang, the cold wind was already blowing in Luoyang, and people in the streets and alleys began to wear thicker clothes, and there were signs of a hurry.

Guo Peng brought Cao Lan to meet Lu Zhi for the first time. Lu Zhi called out Mrs. Lu, hosted a banquet for Guo Peng and Cao Lan, and then asked Mrs. Lu to take Cao Lan to speak. Talk in the garden.

"Zifeng, now you have a great reputation, and there are countless people who want to make friends with you. After the teacher heard that Yuan Gonggong came to Luoyang, he publicly praised you for your courage, respect for friendship, and someone who can entrust you with important things. Yuan Benchu ​​also You have praised you in private to your friends, what do you think about it yourself?"

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "When he bid farewell to Yuan Gonggong, Yuan Gonggong had already praised the students, the fourth son of the Yuan clan, Yuan Gonggong's praise was the icing on the cake, and he was rushing it before Yuan Benchu. Everyone knows his thoughts, why bother? What about guessing?"

Lu Zhi nodded in satisfaction.

"Yuan Benchu ​​was born as the eldest son of a concubine, although he passed it on to Yuan Cheng, but after all, he was born by a maidservant, and Yuan Gonggong was the second son. These two are fighting to improve their reputation, nothing more than for the inheritance of the Yuan family.

They want to enhance their reputation and strength, but to fight against the eldest son Yuan Ji, Zifeng, and the Yuan family's inheritance battle. You are an outsider, but now you can't get rid of the relationship. At this time, how should you deal with yourself? Woolen cloth? "

Guo Peng thought about what Cao Cao said.

"The student intends to intersect with Yuan Gonggong."

"What's the reason?"

"Brother-in-law Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu ​​have a very good relationship. As for Yuan Ji...the eldest son gives him the advantage. In any case, he is the heir in the first place. He will not do the same thing as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu."

Lu Zhi was silent for a while, sighed, and nodded.

"It's best for you to have such an idea. Originally, as a teacher, I planned to persuade you to meet Yuan Gonggong. The Yuan clan is huge, and the Cao clan and your family are far behind. If you have such an idea, it might be a good practice. , In places like Luoyang, apart from being a teacher, you can't do without other friends.

You are young, you have little experience, but you have a great reputation, so this is the time when you need to make friends widely and expand your fame and influence. With Yuan Gonggong to help you, you can make a difference. However, Zifeng, you need to Remember, what to do, and what not to do. "

"Students are the disciples of the teacher, not the lackeys of the Yuan family."

Guo Peng bowed deeply to Lu Zhi: "Students will always follow the teacher's footsteps and never change their original aspirations!"

Lu Zhi nodded reassuringly.

"I have disciples like this, this life is enough."

Guo Peng agreed to Cao Cao's suggestion, but he also had his own considerations in it.

Chapter 54 Yuan Shu has no future

Descendants' impression of Yuan Shu is mostly a usurped traitor and a dead bone in the grave. The usurped traitor is the influence of Yuan Shu's vain attempt to become emperor.

And "withered bones in the tomb" is not what Cao Cao said, but what Kong Rong said.

To be honest, Guo Peng felt that Kong Rong was not qualified to say that to Yuan Shu.

Kong Rong's end was not better than Yuan Shu's at all. When Yuan Shu's power was huge, his power spanned three states, not weaker than Yuan Shao. The two brothers occupied seven states, and the great Han got half of the world, and they were all in the elite area of ​​population.

And Kong Rong couldn't even defend a mere Beihai, so what qualifications did he have to evaluate Yuan Shu?

A dead bone can occupy the land of the three states and command a hundred thousand troops. Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son are willing to drive them. Isn't this a bit too much?

Yuan Shu is by no means incompetent, even if he does have many fatal flaws, um, many flaws.

However, opening the history books, in the biographies recording the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, it is often recorded that they were heroic when they were young, they were loyal, they used justice to save money, and they saved people in danger.

For these sons and brothers, money is not a problem, but it is meaningful to spend. Yuan Shao is good at raising guards. During Luoyang's seclusion period, he made a lot of friends from all over the world.

In this era, there is no Internet, and the spread of fame can only be spread by word of mouth. These heroes come from all over the world, and they will also leave Luoyang and return to all over the world. They will spread Yuan Shao's reputation all the way, and Yuan Shao will become a giant in the world.

Yuan Shu was similar, but Yuan Shu was not as quick as Yuan Shao, nor was Yuan Shao capable of respecting the virtuous.

When Yuan Shao was a child, he was treated coldly by the Yuan family, suffered from scorn and bitterness, and knew more about human feelings than Yuan Shu, the heir apparent who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Therefore, Yuan Shu always has an aura of looking down on others, and he can't let go of his body. He is not as polite as Yuan Shao.

The people who came out to mess around were all a little bit arrogant and a little bit arrogant, eager to get the praise of a son from a top-notch famous family like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

You have the same last name and spend the same money, one eats with me and walks side by side, and the other is like giving me a gift, who do I prefer?

This is why Yuan Shao is more popular and famous than Yuan Shu.

Later, Yuan Shu himself realized this problem, and began to correct some of his character shortcomings to a certain extent. He used his arrogance to cover up his arrogance, and made more superficial articles, and his fame immediately caught up.

After Guo Peng's sudden emergence, he gained the reputation of "Yingchuan Guo Lang" who is devoted to friendship and kindness. Yuan Shao actually wanted to befriend Guo Peng for a long time, but Guo Peng has been running around outside and has never been free.

Later, when Guo Peng got married, Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao if he wanted to come. Yuan Shao was in mourning, so how could he go to the wedding?
