At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

After that, Guo Peng took his soldiers and horses to practice and rescue the wounded.

Half of them practiced, and the other half went with Guo Peng to rescue and treat wounded soldiers, clean and bandage wounds, etc. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun learned that they were very puzzled.

However, it is surprising that the situation is not obvious in the short term, but after ten days and a half months, as more and more wounded soldiers return to the team, the death rate of the army has dropped visibly, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both cannot be ignored.

It was even more so when they heard that there was a sense of gratitude to Guo Peng and his troops circulating in the army.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Junyi together thought that Guo Peng was resentful because he couldn't go to the battlefield, so he did this.

So they asked Cao Cao to probe Guo Peng's tone to see if Guo Peng really had any grievances.

They were also a little embarrassed.

Chapter 90 Is there God's will in the dark?

Hearing this, Cao Cao was also surprised, so he came to the wounded barracks, just in time to see Guo Peng bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers himself, with skillful techniques.

Cao Cao watched for a while, deeply puzzled.

"Zifeng, you are true..."

"Really what?"

Guo Peng washed his hands and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"you……"

Cao Cao pulled Guo Peng aside and said in a low voice, "If you want to go to the battlefield, just say it, you are doing this, aren't you embarrassing Huangfu Zhonglang and Zhu Zhonglang? Soldier, it doesn't sound good to say something like this?"

"what?"

Guo Peng looked strange: "No, I did this when I was in Guangzong. At that time, I was leading cavalry, it was not my turn to attack the city, and I didn't want to be idle, so I led the army to learn. First aid bandages on the battlefield to treat wounded soldiers."

"Really?"

Cao Cao looked strange.

"Really, brother, look."

Guo Peng took Cao Cao to another soldier with an arrow wound on his shoulder, and pointed it out to Cao Cao: "This kind of arrow wound, if treated in time, is not a big problem, it can be cured with medication, but There are too few military doctors in the army, and a thousand soldiers cannot afford one military medical officer.

Many soldiers died of small wound inflammation due to lack of timely treatment. A little herbal medicine can save a life, why not do it?A veteran who has seen blood returning from injury is better than recruiting a new recruit, right? "

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and felt that this was indeed the reason, and he could not find a place to refute it.

"Actually, in addition to food and grass, medicine is also very important. Food and grass can save lives, and medicine can save lives. I don't want to give up any wounded soldiers who can save lives. They follow me to the battlefield and work hard for me to earn merit. I at least We must take them to the battlefield alive, otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Guo Peng picked up some medicinal materials to smear on the wounded soldier: "I found that the medicinal materials are really scarce, and the medicinal materials are not fully prepared before each battle. Sometimes there are no medicinal materials, and they have to be picked temporarily. No, before I told my soldiers to follow the military medical officer into the mountains to collect herbs."

Guo Peng also complained about the lack of medicinal materials in the military camp. Cao Cao was stunned when he heard it. He went back and told Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun the matter exactly. The two looked at each other and felt very surprised.

Guo Peng really doesn't care about this matter, but is only dedicated to keeping his soldiers alive?

Does this have a good heart?

They have never paid attention to this matter, not in the past, not now, and may not be in the future. This has always been the case for everyone. You suddenly made a change, don't you want to be in the dark?

However, the siege of the city has made great progress in the past few days. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's entire energy is on the city, and there is no extra energy to intervene in this matter, so they just let it go.

Let Guo Peng lead his troops to save people.

After a few days, the offensive and defensive battle of the city has entered a state of hand-to-hand combat between the Han army and the city.

A large number of wounded Han soldiers were sent to the wounded barracks for treatment. The screaming and screaming continued from morning to night. The military medical officer was simply too busy, so Guo Peng called for more soldiers to help.

Guo Peng led his soldiers to help in the wounded barracks day and night, trying his best to let those who survived survive. For those who were injured too badly and bleed too much, Guo Peng was really helpless.

Guo Peng will definitely do what he can do, but what he can't do is beyond the current objective facts, he can do nothing.

In such a case, let alone the soldiers, the officers would not blame him, but would only thank him.

For example, Sun Jian thanked Guo Peng very much. His troops were leading the charge in the siege battle and suffered heavy losses. After he came down, he took a large number of wounded soldiers to the wounded barracks to seek treatment. This group of wounded soldiers immediately began to treat them.

After being busy for two hours, it was considered that all those who could be saved were bandaged. As for those who were injured too badly and only had one breath left, Guo Peng could only express regret to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian shook his head and saluted Guo Peng.

"Guo Sima's kindness, Sun will not forget it."

Guo Peng accepted it calmly, and then helped Sun Jian up.

"Sun Sima must fight for the first place in every battle, and Peng also admires Sun Sima's bravery very much. It's a pity that these wounded soldiers are really beyond Peng's ability."

"enough."

Sun Jian sighed: "They are all sons and daughters who followed Sun from their hometown to seek rebellion. Originally, most of them could not survive, but now most of them have been treated and their families have been preserved. Sun is very grateful.

It is a pity that Sun has no long possessions, low official position, and little family wealth. Sun cannot repay Guo Sima's kindness. Only if Guo Sima can use Sun in the future, Sun will not refuse! "

Guo Peng said that Sun Jian was too polite.

Looking at the back of Sun Jian leaving, Guo Peng still sighed a little.

Among the allied forces against Dong Zhuo in Guandong, only Sun Jian and Cao Cao really risked their lives to attack Dong Zhuo.

Sun Jian was the main force in the fight against Dong, and he also had a grudge against Dong Zhuo. He defeated Dong Zhuo and his generals several times, and was the real main force forcing Dong Zhuo to leave Luoyang and flee back to Chang'an.

Although Cao Cao was brave and wanted to ask Dong to prove himself, his strength was limited and his army's combat effectiveness was low.

Except for Sun Jian and Cao Cao, everyone else is pregnant with ghosts.

The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were the initiators of Dong Zhuo, knew that Yuan Feng and Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, were staying in Luoyang, but they still raised their anti-flag against Dong Zhuo and wanted to crusade him.

As a result, Dong Zhuo was furious, and he killed Luoyang Yuan's children. He made it clear that he wanted to kill Yuan Feng and Yuan Ji, so that he could become the heir to the next generation of Yuan's family.

Dong Zhuo had the identity of a former official of the Yuan clan. He used to be an official under the Yuan clan. At that time, he raised the butcher's knife to the Yuan clan.

These two could even be said to be an alliance in a certain sense before the courtship of Dong. In order to deal with Yuan Ji, the eldest son, who was in a high position and stable, and made Dong Zhuo a villain, they turned into righteous men.

The rest of the princes who were begging Dong also had ghosts in their hearts.

The two groups of princes who were begging Dong, one in Hanoi and one in Suanzao, never fought against Dong Zhuo's troops a few times.

Since then, these people have been eating, drinking, and having fun at the station. After running out of food and grass, they scattered, not only that, but also the fire. At that time, several princes were wiped out, and the ambition of the wolf was seen at a glance.

Therefore, in the later warlord melee, the last three families and two families went all out in this war and did not participate in the water.

Cao Cao settled the Central Plains and founded the Cao Wei Foundation, which had far-reaching influence. Sun Jian's son Sun Ce and Sun Quan established the Jiangdong Foundation, and the Sun Wu regime became the last regime in the Three Kingdoms.

Is there God's will in the dark?

no one knows.

But there is no doubt that there is a difference between those who easily ascend to high positions relying on their family background and those who climb to high positions with blood and tears on their own merits.

The former kind of people are born with everything, and they can get it when they reach out, or even without reaching out, someone else will bring it.

The latter kind of people have to sacrifice a lot of very precious things in order to climb to a high position, and that's all in times of peace. In the turbulent times, the situation is turbulent, and the princes and generals are not as good as chickens. Who can survive to the end?

In the process of sacrificing those things, their hearts became more and more ruthless, tenacious and tenacious, and finally they successfully transformed into heroes in troubled times, and the founding emperors were often decided among the heroes in troubled times.

And right now, isn't it chaos?

Chapter 91 Captain Hu Karasuma

In mid to late September, the war came to an end.

With Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun giving orders to die, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian fighting desperately, the Han army finally broke through Wanzhong City, beheaded Sun Xia, killed 2 Yellow Turbans, and captured tens of thousands alive.

The last established Yellow Turban army was finally wiped out.

Since then, the first Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, and the world has temporarily recovered.

On the third day after that, Lu Zhi "come late" and "apology" to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun knew that they were busy, and then gave a considerable part of the spoils to Lu Zhi and Lu Zhi. Part of it was accepted, and another part was returned to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

In the accepted part, Lu Zhi gave Guo Peng one-third, and he kept two-thirds.

Guo Peng chose one-third of what he got and kept the ones that looked pleasing to the eye, and gave all the rest to his subordinates as a reward for their hard work in saving people, and the subordinates rejoiced.

Afterwards, Emperor Ling was greatly surprised when he learned the great news, and ordered Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi to return to the court to receive the reward.

On September 27, the three completed the handover procedures with the local government, and on September 28, the Han army returned to the court.

On the sixth day of the tenth lunar month, the rewarded Han army arrived in Luoyang.

Luoyang held a grand triumphal ceremony, and Emperor Ling attended in person, expressing his appreciation for the hard work of the Han army, and then rewarding the army and officers at all levels.

As the three coaches, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were rewarded handsomely.

Dong Zhuo was promoted to the prefect of Bingzhou, and he was appointed the lord of the township and the thousand households in Shiyi.

Lu Zhi's deputy general and Hu Wumaru Zhonglang promoted the clan members to the prefect of Youzhou, and he was also named a marquis and had a thousand households in the food town.

Huangfu Song was promoted to the general of the left chariot and the Marquis of Huaili.

Zhu Jun was promoted to the general of the right chariot, the Marquis of Qiantang.

As the biggest credit holder, Lu Zhi was promoted to Taiwei, recorded Shangshushi, and was named Marquis of Fanyang, directly ascending to the position of the Third Duke.

The original Taiwei was dismissed as early as after the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. Anyway, the title of Taiwei is mostly a false name and has little real power. Together with San Gong, it is mainly a political vase, and the task is to bear for the emperor in times of disaster. Pot, specially used to remove.

And the real significance lies in the last four words "Recording the Book of the Books", that is, to master the work of the Book of Books and become the de facto Prime Minister.

Emperor Ling thought that Lu Zhi was talented in both civil and military affairs, and was a practical talent. Today the world is in chaos and the war has just ended. He needs capable people to sort out the world, and he knows that his talents are not enough to do this, so he has to send competent officials to come. Do, Lu Zhi is the best choice.

Lu Zhi became a top high-ranking official in the country, and he was in the limelight for a while, and as his proud student, how to reward Guo Peng, who had made several military exploits by beheading Zhang Liang and capturing Zhang Jiao, was also a question.

On the way back to Beijing, Lu Zhi asked Guo Peng about his future plans, what kind of position he wanted to take, etc. Guo Peng said that he was willing to ask for a position in the northern border county to help fight the invasion of the northern barbarians.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment and thought about the suitable position for Guo Peng, but he felt that it did not match Guo Peng's age.

Indeed, Guo Peng is a young man in his twenties. He has been an official for more than a year and has only been in the army for half a year. To say that he has little experience, but he has made great contributions. He also has the experience of leading an army to defeat the enemy alone, and he is very talented in military affairs.

According to the normal promotion, Guo Peng should also be a school captain.

He is still young, and it is impossible to upgrade his position too quickly, but this credit has to be rewarded. The credit for beheading Zhang Liang and capturing Zhang Jiao has made Guo Peng in the eyes of the Spirit Emperor. It is not too much to seek some positions for him. , it is estimated that the Emperor Ling will be very agreeable.

So what is the best position to seek for Guo Peng?

Guo Peng is full of courage, strategy, calmness, and judgment. This is the excellent quality of leading soldiers to fight, the seed of a famous general, his own proud disciple, and heir to others. It is impossible to do without enough credit.

But the credit is accompanied by danger. Guo Peng is young and can withstand the test of strong winds and waves, which remains to be discussed.

So Lu Zhi was very troubled.

Lu Zhi told Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun about his troubles, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun gave him very pertinent advice.

It is said that the world is chaotic and turbulent. It is precisely when talented people are needed to serve the country. Guo Peng has military talents and should be sent out to let him experience and let him grow up. When he grows up in the future, the big man has another Lu Ziqian who is a general. Isn't it beautiful?

The persuasion of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun made Lu Zhi's heart move, but the accompanying danger also worried Lu Zhi.

After being a teacher and apprentice for many years, Lu Zhi has long regarded Guo Peng as his own son and nephew, and his legacy is almost as important as his own son.

Strict on the surface, cherished in the heart, and let it go out alone to experience the wind and rain, I am really reluctant.

At the critical moment, Huangfu Song also persuaded, "If you have not led the army alone, you cannot be a famous general. If you follow Zi Gan, Zifeng is only a vanguard. If you are alone, you can be a leader of the country. . 』

Huangfu Song's persuasion made Lu Zhi firm in his mind, so he asked Huangfu Song to be the representative, and Guo Peng to be the captain of Hu Karasuma.

When Emperor Ling received Huangfu Song's presentation, he was very interested, and invited left and right to inquire about Guo Peng's talents, especially Zuo Feng, who was in Lu Zhijun's envoy, and asked Guo Peng's specific talents.

Zuo Feng suddenly felt that he had something to contribute, so he thought carefully and spoke slowly.

"Guo Peng is eight feet long. Although he is young, he has been a disciple of Duke Lu for many years. He has been taught by Duke Lu, and his talents are quite outstanding. He is very brave in leading troops in Hebei. , so it is possible to make a battle to cut Zhang Liang and capture Zhang Jiao alive."

Lingdi nodded slowly.

"I heard that he is still Cao's son-in-law?"

"Yes."

"Is that so..."

The Emperor Ling rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any objection?"

"Yes, many ministers in the DPRK say that Guo Peng is young, unable to deal with complex situations, and needs experience, nothing else."
