At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Several capable helpers helped Cheng Li share a lot of work.

For example, Cheng Li praised Gu Yong.

It is said that after Gu Yong came to Shanggu County, he went to work without sleep for several nights, ran back and forth in several counties, and perfectly carried out the tasks assigned to him by Cheng Li.

After Zaoyi came, he studied Shanggu County's farming policy. After doing some field research, he made some suggestions and revisions on the details, which really increased the efficiency of implementing the policy.

As soon as Guo Rui arrived, he formulated ten targeted laws in response to the current situation in Shanggu County, allowing literate soldiers to preach throughout the county.

Anyone who violates the law will be punished, and family members and relatives will be punished depending on the situation. As a result, the security efficiency of Shanggu County has been significantly increased.

Chapter 169

The team of veterans transferred from the manor had no special talents.

It was in Guo's Manor that he learned literacy, learned some basic knowledge of farming, mulberry and water conservancy, and then arranged to manage the newly recruited refugees on the newly reclaimed manor land to build a new Zhuangzi.

Guo Peng selected a group of people with strong ability to handle affairs, and transferred the refugees in an orderly manner.

They don't have much advantage, but because they are grateful for Guo's kindness of not abandoning and not giving up, they execute the order very thoroughly without compromise.

They will do what the county government orders.

They have the basic cultural level to understand the policy and strong execution ability.

After they came to the top, they implemented Cheng Li's decision very well, and finally liberated Cheng Li, allowing Cheng Li to plan the overall situation instead of focusing most of his energy on a certain government affairs.

So in the month or so after their arrival, Cheng Li put most of his energy into investigating the achievements of officials in Shanggu County.

As a hero, this is his job.

He knew that Guo Peng did this because he trusted him very much, so he handed over this key position to make him a deterrent to all officials and military officers except him.

This kind of deterrence is not only aimed at the county magistrates and county magistrates of the remaining counties in the original Shanggu County, but also at the newly formed core team under Guo Peng's command.

Officials who drink alcohol must be punished, officials who punish their subordinates without reason must be punished, and officials who violate discipline must be punished, and then all the information will be gathered to Guo Peng, as Guo Peng's loyal executor of will.

Cheng Li took up this crucial position to Guo Peng very well, and he didn't care whether he would be resented.

He knew that Guo Peng should like this kind of himself the most.

That's right, Guo Peng's favorite is Cheng Li who has such an awareness. He likes this kind of official the most.

Cheng Li set a very standard personality for himself from the very beginning, and decided to move forward consistently according to this personality, and overcome difficulties for Guo Peng.

Guo Peng was very satisfied with Cheng Li's work, and also with the work of the initially formed civil service team. He praised them and gave them additional rewards.

Then there is a group of people in the generals' team, who were also pulled by Guo Peng to be responsible for some important tasks, such as patrolling Shanggu County, public security management, armament maintenance, daily training and so on.

There are also Xiahou brothers and Cao brothers' positions as postal supervisors, captains, Guan Yu's soldier Cao, Zhang Fei's captain Cao, Zhao Yun's thief Cao, etc., all of which need to be investigated.

Judging from the comprehensive trial, Cheng Li believes that Xiahou Dun and Zhao Yun are the best at doing these tasks. These two people can not only lead troops, but also handle daily government affairs.

Among them, Xiahou Dun focused on praise, because Xiahou Dun did the best when the generals were assigned to lead the people to build water conservancy projects, completed the repair task the fastest, and the quality was also excellent, so Cheng Li raised the praise.

Then Zhang Fei was criticized.

Because his methods were too simple and rude, the people fled, and the soldiers couldn't stop them, which almost caused a serious incident.

So Zhang Fei was called to front by Guo Peng and looked at him very seriously.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"understood."

"What's wrong?"

"Shouldn't be whipping people all the time."

"Why not in another way?"

"........."

Zhang Fei lowered his head and was as depressed as a defeated general.

Guan Yu sighed and stood up.

"My lord, Yide... This is his old problem. He doesn't know how to get along with his subordinates. He only knows that his subordinates should be punished if they make mistakes. Besides, he is not good at it."

Several other officers who had a lot of contacts with Zhang Fei also thought so.

Guo Peng shook his head with some annoyance.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the problems of these two brothers are simply reversed.

Zhang Fei likes to bully villains, and Guan Yu likes to bully officials who are similar to him. Both of them have such and other faults, and they both eventually died of their shortcomings.

It turned out that Guo Peng didn't need to care, but now, Guo Peng has to care.

"Yuan Rang."

Guo Peng called Xiahou Dun's name.

"exist."

Xiahou Dun stood up and walked forward.

"Let Yide follow you under your command, and you teach him how to get along with his subordinates, Yide, after the meeting is over, go outside to get twenty army sticks as punishment."

Guo Peng knew that Xiahoudun was good at getting along with his subordinates and treated them well, so he asked Zhang Fei to learn from Xiahoudun.

"Yes."

Xiahou Dun accepted the task, and Zhang Fei nodded with frustration, accepting Guo Peng's punishment.

Zhang Fei was really frustrated.

Just now when Guo Peng gave him a concubine, he couldn't control it a little bit. He was such a fierce man, his head was full of women's bodies, and Guo Peng wanted to beat him with twenty army sticks.

There is no hope tonight.

Zhang Fei immediately showed a remorseful expression.

After the meeting continued, Guo Peng talked about some future prospects for county affairs, and then introduced Guo Jia and Cao Chun to everyone.

Guo Jia was sent to Cheng Li by Guo Peng, and Guo Jia was asked to work and study with Cheng Li.

Cao Chun was assigned to Guo Lie, and Cao Chun was appointed as Guo Lie's deputy, first serving as Guo Peng's personal general.

Then there is a banquet.

The best way to communicate with subordinates is always a banquet. After finishing business, it is time to do something relaxing, drink, eat and have a good time.

Needless to say at night, except for Zhang Fei who was beaten up and lay on the bed humming, everyone else seemed to have something they wanted to do.

Guo Jia and Cao Chun were kept in his house by Guo Peng, and they were not allowed to run around. The disappointment and complaints towards Guo Peng could not be concealed on their faces.

She's so lecherous at such a young age!

I really don't know who they look like!

Mr. Guo sighed quite a bit about this, only felt that the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old. Are there still pure people in this world?

This is probably a sign of troubled times, right?

After three months of absence, what Guo Peng still had to do was a military parade. On the second day after his return, Guo Peng organized a grand military parade with [-] elite knights under his command.

Pulling them up the grassland to gallop across the grassland, practicing riding and shooting and horse-to-hand combat, they never relaxed in the training of the army.

Then he led troops to inspect the entire Shanggu County, inspected the progress of the farming area, personally interviewed some original refugees living in Shanggu County, talked with them, and deeply understood some of their difficulties.

Soon, the image of Mr. Guo Fu was established in the hearts of these refugees. He was a good person who would listen to their words and go deep into the grassroots to communicate with them.

This is the winter break period and the slack period for farming. There is no farm work to do, and Guo Peng is responsible for supplying food for the refugees.

In order to prevent them from developing the habit of eating and being lazy, Guo Peng implemented a work-for-relief policy, recruiting refugees to build the Great Wall, water conservancy, houses and roads.

Men do physical work, and women can also do some needlework, weave military uniforms for soldiers, make shoes, etc. Anyway, the people of Shanggu County have been mobilized.

In addition to doing work, it is military training.

Because it is a border county, there is a tradition of militia training, and the people of Youzhou are used to it, so they naturally accepted the military training sent by Guo Peng.

Guo Peng still has the idea of ​​training an elite infantry in his heart.

Chapter 170. 170 I also want to lick the dog so wholeheartedly!

Right now, Guo Peng has no infantry under his command, and all his subordinates are cavalry.

The 5000 cavalrymen selected from previous wars, absorbed the strong men from the Nether Cloud Land into the army and refined them into cavalrymen. All of them can ride and shoot, and none of them are afraid of melee combat.

In order to enhance their combat capabilities, Guo Peng also equipped them with hand axes, war hammers and other items, which everyone carried with them during the war.

When you need to use it, pull it out and smash it hard. It is a killer move against infantry formations.

As for the infantry, it's not that Guo Peng hasn't thought about it, but the current political atmosphere does not provide him with the possibility of unscrupulous military expansion.

The number of cavalry under his command is still [-], and the others are all "retreat when they run out", not to mention the infantry.

Several times in a row, the combat infantry were temporarily recruited county soldiers and militiamen, and they also encountered danger many times. This made Guo Peng deeply realize that without the cooperation of the elite infantry, it would be difficult for his own cavalry to exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

But on the basis of not being able to expand the army in an upright manner, what should we do?

It's easy to do. We will arrange and train them from among the refugees in Shanggu County. They will cultivate when the farming is busy, and they will be pulled out to train soldiers when the farming is slack. They will practice the army formation and tactics. Refugees can join the army.

Practicing by yourself is always better than crooked melons and jujubes from nowhere.

In the previous battle against Zhang Chun, Guo Peng almost overturned.

I can see the arrow wound on my shoulder every time I change clothes. Before Cao Lan saw it at Luoyang's home with tears in his eyes, Guo Peng felt very uncomfortable.

So Guo Peng wanted to train a reliable infantry.

In these years of marching and fighting, the infantry is the absolute main force, and its role cannot be compensated by the cavalry. Without a reliable infantry, the power will not be formed.

Guo Peng is also very clear that the army hopes to follow a reliable general.

So all the soldiers under his command trusted him, were willing to obey his orders, and never betrayed them, but why didn't the general want a reliable and elite army?

Elite soldiers are not just talking about it, nor can they be formed by recruiting strong people, they have to work hard to practice.

Whenever he thinks about training infantry, Guo Peng always thinks of the name Gao Shun. He and the camp he leads are really famous.

Every attack, everything is broken, these six words are not something that any army can get.

It's a pity that he died too early and didn't get a greater opportunity to show himself, otherwise he might not be able to have a greater reputation.

What made Guo Peng feel even more regretful was Gao Shun's loyalty to Lu Bu. Whenever Lu Bu did stupid things, Gao Shun would admonish him, but he would not listen.

And every time something happened that he couldn't solve, the first thing that came to his mind was Gao Shun again.

Take Gao Shun's military power when he is not needed, and give him military power when he is needed.

Usually he was not close to Gao Shun, and when a general betrayed him and wanted to rebel, he immediately hid in Gao Shun's barracks, because he was sure that Gao Shun would not betray him.

The more Guo Peng looked at the relationship between the two, the more he felt that Gao Shun was like a silly girl who was deceived by a scumbag.

He was cheated and let down again and again, and in the end he still had to be someone's licking dog until he died.

Gao Shun really died for Lu Bu.

If it weren't for the fact that the object of his allegiance was Lu Bu, maybe his future would be even more brilliant.

With his ability to train and command the army to fight, his achievements will definitely not be inferior to those of Zhang Liao. When Zhang Liao fought under Lu Bu, he was still restrained by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun also independently led the army to deal with the three Liu Bei brothers, defeated the three Liu Bei brothers, and then defeated Xiahou Dun who came to support Liu Bei. The battle where Xiahou Dun lost one eye was the battle against the enemy Gao Shun.

The more Guo Peng thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more he envies Lu Bu.

A mixed person, short-sighted, doesn't know what loyalty is, in his mind other than women are muscles, fighting is reckless, profit is grabbing, but he can get people like Gao Shun to be loyal to death.

He, Guo Zifeng, is handsome, handsome, and has a great reputation. He has a higher status than Lu Bu. If you want to lick him, you should lick him, right?

I also want to lick the dog wholeheartedly like this!

Guo Peng cried out in his heart several times.
