Guo Peng's reward was mainly for Liu Cong and the ministers of Jingzhou, and Liu Qi was just an incidental product.

Liu Qi was only given a third-class son, given 300 households, and a mansion, and allowed to live in Luoyang, and had nothing else, so he was regarded as a waste person who was coarse tea and light rice.

He's a wreck, indeed.

From the report of the Linzi camp, Guo Peng learned about what happened in Jingzhou before and after his invasion of Jingzhou, and realized that Liu Biao's death was inseparable from Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others, and Gan Ning was the biggest reason why Liu Biao arranged for a total bankruptcy before his death.

Before Liu Biao's death, he arranged four figures such as the ministers of Tuogu to ensure that Liu Qi could ascend the throne, and these four people were Gan Ning, Yi Yuan, and Sun Wei and Sun Fu.

In Guo's opinion, although this is indeed a bad move, it is also the only way for Liu Biao to do it as a last resort when he has no choice but to do it.

Liu Biao really failed.

He has been running Jingzhou for so many years, but he has not pulled up a team of his own cronies.

Before dying, he made one move after another, and rejected Huang Zhong and Wen Ping, the heroes of the Southern Expedition, which chilled everyone's hearts, so that Gan Ning, who was temporarily pulled over, instantly turned back and won the Iraqi nationality.

Wang Wei, Su Fei, Huo Jun and others attacked and easily killed Sun Wei and Sun Fu, and the Sun clan perished from then on.

His four auxiliary ministers were all wiped out in an instant, leaving Liu Qi with a desperate situation, and when he woke up, the world was turned upside down, and Liu Cong, who was like a fool, thought that he had gone lucky.

But in fact, this guy is just a temporary transition, and the bargaining chips used by the people of Jingzhou to bargain with Guo Peng are, in the same sense, as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, as bargaining chips between the ministers of Wei and Cao Pi.

A Liu Cong, raised by 3,000 households, should be a pig.

But Liu Qi didn't think about it, according to Guo Peng's thoughts, he couldn't wait to directly abolish him as a concubine and give him a piece of land to farm.

But even if it means something, you have to give Liu Qi a little treatment and let him have something to eat.

Then, the rest of the Jingzhou ministers basically got the official positions and got what they wanted.

Including those who were unwilling to be Wei officials, such as Han Song, such as Wang Wei and Su Fei, such as Huo Jun, and Yi nationality, they still admitted it in the face of Guo's mandatory requirements.

The position is not high, but at least there is a job and something to do.

For example, Han Song was appointed as an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and would be in charge of foreign affairs, because Guo Peng thought that his unwavering mouth might be of great use in the future development of the Western Regions.

Wang Wei and Su Fei were appointed as Tai Shici's subordinates and went to serve under the command of Tai Shici, the general of Dinghai, who were familiar with water warfare and were the water warfare talents that the Wei army urgently needed.

Huo Jun was sent to the northwest by Guo Peng to report to Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, and Guo Peng thought that he was good at field warfare and defense, and was close to the style of the northwest battlefield.

Yi was transferred to Shangshutai, and he became a small official in Shangshutai, and in the end, he was also a person who had been a Taishou, and he still had this ability.

Their bodies are still very honest, and in the face of the general trend of the world and the oppression of the powers, they still obey.

From the fact that they did not commit suicide in prison, Guo can know whether they want to die or live.

There is a limit to their loyalty, and those who are truly unwilling to surrender will not live.

People who really want to be inseparable from Guo Wei will not survive, and it is impossible to survive, such as Huang Zu, and these people who want to live will regard Kuai Yue, Kuailiang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others as enemies, and the Jingzhou Gang has had internal troubles since it was established.

That's what someone Guo needs.

The appointment ceremony was over, and Guo personally announced a banquet to entertain Liu Cong and others who surrendered.

As a result, the solemn atmosphere of the surrender ceremony immediately turned into a cheerful banquet atmosphere, and the palace ladies dressed in tulle carried exquisite dishes and served exquisite dishes to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The song and dance also began at the right time, and the court musicians worked together to play a beautiful concerto of prosperity with various instruments.

The dancers also did their best, dancing to the sound of the beautiful music, showing off their graceful and beautiful bodies and white as snow.

It's a prosperous scene.

The Wei officials and generals happily enjoyed this wonderful banquet atmosphere, raised their wine glasses, filled them with elixir and jade liquid, and pushed the cups to change the cups, which were cup after cup.

In the hazy eyes of drunkenness, they all showed intoxicated smiles, and the scene reflected by that smile was a prosperous and prosperous world that even Guo could not see.

The intoxicating wine flowed and flowed from the glasses, as if it flowed into their hearts, and they were drunk together from body to heart.

It's as if all the good things in the world have been obtained by them.

The Jingzhou ministers were a little apprehensive, looking at everything around them cautiously.

Looking at this glorious grand scene, they couldn't help but think of their experience in Xiangyang, and they couldn't help but feel that a big city is a big city, the imperial capital is the imperial capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the countryside, can it be the same?

Even if it once declined, as long as the emperor is still here, it can still flourish again.

Compared with the former Luoyang, the current Luoyang may be more prosperous.

The memory of Luoyang, which belonged to the Han Empire, that existed in the minds of some officials who had been to Luoyang, had been gradually replaced by the city of Luoyang in the Wei Empire.

Beautiful music, beautiful dancing, wonderful dishes, wonderful wine.

This wonderful thing seemed to be laughing at those who once wanted to resist the Wei State.

Wei is so powerful, the culture is so prosperous, the standard of living is so high, and the style is so grand, this ......

Where can Jingzhou be compared?

The great city of the great empire......

Many Jingzhou ministers sighed slightly.

Faced with such a scene, they lost the last trace of disbelief hidden in their hearts, and began to hope in their hearts that they could integrate into this world and enjoy this rare luxury scene together.

From this narrow observation plane, we can observe the facts that make them despair.

The huge disparity in living standards is enough to defeat the vast majority of ideological dissatisfaction.

Luxury beats poverty.

The vast majority of people took it.

From this moment on, they eagerly longed to join the Wei State, integrate into the Wei State, and integrate into this world of drunken gold.

They were no longer willing to return to the dilapidated and backward corner of Jingzhou.

Liu Cong is one of them.

Liu Cong felt the beautiful music and moving dancing, and enjoyed the wonderful wine and delicious food.

He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that everything he had could not be compared with everything in front of him, and it was difficult to compare it with what he saw in front of him.

With such a wonderful sight, with such an abundance of material comforts, I ......

Do you really want to go back to Jingzhou?

If I can live here safely and enjoy here, I ......

Do you really want to go back to Jingzhou to endure loneliness?

Once such prosperity has been experienced, can those small places still give me peace of mind?

Liu Cong couldn't help but doubt himself, doubting the idea that Han Song gave him.

His will is not strong.

Han Song was one of the few people who had not been robbed of his will by such a sight, he looked at Liu Cong's gradually intoxicated eyes with some uneasiness, and looked at the gradually depressed will of almost everyone around him with uneasiness.

He suddenly realized, he realized that the most terrifying thing about Wei was not the force that was alone in the world, but the more terrifying "prosperity" that everyone could see that was supported by this force that was alone in the world.

It can encroach on all the "prosperity" of the firm will to resist.

After seeing such a scene and enjoying such luxury, can you continue to stick to your heart?

I'm afraid it's unlikely.

Especially a young man like Liu Cong.

Guo sat on the high platform, raised his wine glass with satisfaction, and took a sip of the wine he usually didn't like.

Listening to the sound of beauty in my ears, it is a scene of extravagance.

He felt that everyone might have been drunk, and the famous ministers and generals who accompanied him to fight the country had all been drunk in this prosperous era that had not yet come.

It's good to be drunk, it's good to be drunk.

Don't wake up so quickly, don't wake up so quickly, drink a few more glasses, get drunk for a few more days.

As for those Jingzhou people.

He knew that whatever those people had in mind before the banquet was gone.

Force cannot make people forget their hearts, but drunkenness and gentleness can.

This is true for the enemy, and it is also true for "one's own people".
