Cheng Gongying felt that Han Sui and Yan Xing's idea was right.

Cao Ren is very trusted by Guo Peng, and he has a lot of authority, if he really has benefits and military merits, he has a good chance of taking the bait and will come to help them.

Even if you kill Ma Teng for this.

With the prestige of the Wei army, as long as they enter Longyou, many people will tremble, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son will immediately fall into an embarrassment.

As for the post-war ......

To be honest, Beidi County and Wudu County have been infiltrated to varying degrees because they are close to Guo Peng's territory, Ma Teng is indifferent to this, and there is nothing he can do, so Han Sui simply dedicates these two counties to Guo Peng, as long as they guard the main road and Longdi.

These two counties were enough to induce Cao Ren to send troops.

Now Cao Ren has really been convinced, and now, Han Sui is safe!

Cheng Gongying rushed back to Liangzhou with Zhang Ji full of joy, ready to discuss the specific dispatch of troops.

But whether it was him, Han Sui, or Yan Xing, or even the warlords of Liangzhou, no one was clear about the internal power operation of the Guo Wei regime.

They did not know that the Guo Wei regime was already a fairly mature political group.

This regime has ruled nearly two-thirds of the land of Shenzhou, and it has governed these two-thirds of the land of Shenzhou quite well, and it is a very successful regime.

Since this regime has been able to establish and stabilize its rule so well, it itself has a fairly strong military force and a relatively tightly regulated political system.

The Chinese have never lost out to anyone else in designing a political system.

The super-large-scale centralized system of Chinese style is the largest in the history of the world, both in terms of scale and sophistication.

Guo Peng is an out-and-out military strongman and a political strongman, who grasps both military and political affairs without the slightest slackness.

Militarily, a strict system of professional soldiers and a rotational garrison system were established, and politically, a wide range of tuntian villages were established to control the population at the grassroots level, and military authority was used to increase their power, so as to attack and weaken the local forces that had gradually grown since the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.

Because of the strength of local forces, it poses a serious threat to the central government, and Guo Peng, who is well versed in this, is extremely jealous and attaches great importance to this.

His goal was to return to the Western Han Dynasty first, and then jump to the Tang and Song dynasties, crossing the dark years of 400 years of division due to the lack of mature papermaking and printing.

Therefore, if these people in Liangzhou can have a little understanding of Guo Peng's thoughts, or simply observe and observe, they will also find that without Guo Peng's order and permission, Cao Ren is given eighty-eight courages, and he does not dare to mobilize a single soldier without permission.

Not to mention the mobilization of troops and horses for military operations without informing Guo Peng.

Because all this was expected by Guo Peng, he allowed Cao Ren to do this, and instructed Cao Ren to do this, so Cao Ren dared to do this.

Ma Teng Han Sui's gang is still old-fashioned, old-fashioned, thinking that after Guo Peng leaves, the land of Guanzhong will be Cao Ren's world, and they think that Cao Ren can really call the shots, so they regard Cao Ren as Guo Peng's agent and discuss this matter with him in exchange for his troops.

They believe that Cao Ren has power.

Cao Ren did have power, and he still had a lot of power, he himself had the positions of the former general of Wei, Jing Zhaoyin, and the governor of Chang'an Daying, and Guo Peng gave him a position of governor of Guanzhong in order to facilitate his affairs.

The Governor of Guanzhong, as the name suggests, is the governor of all things in Guanzhong, the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong, and Cao Ren have the power to control and decide.

However, if Cao Ren wanted to exercise the powers provided for by the position of governor of Guanzhong, there was a prerequisite, and that was wartime.

In wartime, Cao Ren had all the powers of the governor of Guanzhong, and could mobilize all the troops and people, mobilize officials, and conduct war.

In wartime, he had the highest power in Guanzhong, and Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu also had to obey his orders.

And how to certify this definition in wartime, Guo Peng also has clear regulations.

Or, if a foreign enemy takes the initiative to attack the land in Guanzhong, then the land in Guanzhong will naturally enter wartime.

Either Guo Peng decided to start a war and ordered Guanzhong to enter wartime.

In both cases, Cao Ren activated the power of the governor of Guanzhong, serving as commander-in-chief and commanding the war.

In peacetime, Cao Ren was Jing Zhaoyin, the governor of Chang'an Daying, in other words, Cao Ren did not have the power to start a war, and he did not have the power to take the initiative to let Guanzhong enter wartime.

Outside of Guo Peng's regulations, even if a fighter plane really appears, Cao Ren must not start a war, and must sit back and watch the fighter plane lose, even if Guo Peng has to pay a price of two, three times and countless times for it later, Cao Ren must not start a war, and must sit idly by.

In the same way, anyone under Guo Peng who leads troops in a local area must abide by this same rule.

Either the foreign enemy took the initiative to attack, or Guo Peng authorized it.

This is very clear.

Zhang Fei is such a fierce man, without Guo Peng's authorization to give him permission to strike at Xianbei indiscriminately, he can't even move a cavalry of a hundred-man team.

Growing up with Guo Peng since he was a child, and being beaten by Guo Peng from childhood to adulthood, Cao Ren knows Guo Peng's strong and unambiguous character.

As the second-in-command of the Wei army, he won Guo Peng's trust, so he got the position of governor of Guanzhong, but the higher his status, even the second-in-command, the more cautious he is, the more cautious he is, and the more he usually abides by the rules, the more Guo Peng will trust him and give him power.

If there is one against Guo Peng's will, there is only one result, death.

It's not that nothing like this hasn't happened.

After the end of the Battle of Hebei, Guo Peng appointed a veteran from the early Changshui Cavalry to serve as the garrison of Daijun, leading the troops to guard Daijun and guard against the attacks of the Xianbei people.

The Changshui Cavalry is Guo Peng's earliest subordinate and the most trusted veteran subordinate.

When Guo Peng was the general of the Guardian Karasuma Zhonglang, some of them gave up their positions in the Changshui Cavalry and followed Guo Peng to Shanggu County, and this veteran, Wei Xiao, was one of them.

Even the name Wei Xiao and his epigram were given to him by Guo Peng, and he can be regarded as a middle-level officer raised by Guo Peng, and he is definitely a cronie.

He was also represented by a large group of middle-level officers who had been promoted from Guo Peng's old army veterans, who were the mainstay of the Wei army.

Wei Xiao has some ability, and was promoted by Guo Peng to be a county garrison to accumulate experience and test his ability.

According to common sense, Wei Xiao was very familiar with the military rules and various rules set by Guo Peng, but the scouts sent by Wei Xiao at that time detected the news that a Xianbei tribe was heading south, so they decided to mobilize 1,000 soldiers from the Daijun garrison to attack.

At that time, his subordinates had dissuaded him.

The subordinates said that the garrison could not take the initiative to attack without Guo Peng's order, this was a military regulation, and violating the military regulation would be punished.

Wei Xiao thinks that he is Guo Peng's earliest old department, with a special identity, and it is very likely that this tribe is coming to invade when it goes south, and he can also take the initiative to attack the enemy outside the country, so as not to attack them and then passively defend.

Then he attacked, slaughtered the tribe after a hard fight, brought back a batch of booty, and asked Guo Peng for merit with his might, but instead of waiting for a reward, he waited for the Tiger Guard's own soldiers.

The Tiger Guard's soldiers took Wei Xiao to see Guo Peng, but Guo Peng didn't see him, so he directly sent someone to interrogate Wei Xiao according to military regulations, and came to the conclusion that Wei Xiao violated Guo Peng's regulations and should be beheaded according to the law.

At that time, many people interceded for Wei Xiao.

said that he just took the initiative to attack, and he didn't want the Xianbei people to come over and then passively defend, and then defeated the Xianbei people and made meritorious contributions, at least the merits and demerits were offset by the demerits, so as not to cut off his head.

Moreover, Wei Xiao followed Guo Peng all the way, and his meritorious service was great, if he was rashly killed, it might cause a shock in the army's heart, which was very unfavorable to the army's heart and so on.

Guo Peng was furious, belittled the twenty-three officers who interceded for Wei Xiao, demoted all of them to be auxiliaries, and then personally ordered and insisted on beheading Wei Xiao.

After Wei Xiao's death, Guo Peng sent people to preach this matter to the local garrisons and military camps, and reiterated the military regulations very harshly

Even if you are beaten passively, you will give me orders, and without orders, whoever dares to take the initiative to lead the troops to attack, even if you win the battle, it will be a capital crime to come back.

Military orders are like mountains, and there is no human favor to speak of.

After this incident, it greatly shook the officers and soldiers of the Wei army who had just defeated Yuan Shao and were extremely proud.

All the armies immediately organized a collective study and recitation of military regulations, and in particular, great efforts were made to the regulations on sortie operations, and even auxiliary soldiers who were doing miscellaneous duties in the barracks were required to memorize the relevant regulations.

Guo Peng adheres to his consistent concept of governing the army, he believes that there is no such thing as a perfect two worlds, so he chooses the lesser of two evils, insists on killing the victorious general who violates the order, and ensures the resolute implementation of the military regulations, so as to maintain the status of the military regulations and maintain his absolute control over the army.

After the Wei Xiao case, no one dared to challenge the military regulations.

In the face of military regulations, from Cao Ren to an ordinary auxiliary, no one dared to disobey it.

Even if the fighter plane is right in front of me, there is no order, and I will watch the fighter plane lose! Don't move!

It can be said that the occurrence of the Wei Xiao case made Wei Jun, who was restless at that time and had the constraints of military regulations, be severely beaten with a stick, and his head was beaten and bleeding, and he no longer dared to have similar thoughts.

Because Guo Peng really dares to kill, no matter who he is, as long as he crosses the red line, he will kill.

Cao Ren has reason to believe that the reason why Cao Hong was not killed at that time was because Cao Hong committed the crime of embezzlement, which was an ordinary crime, and did not violate the real red line in the army.

If Cao Hong violated the red line, Heavenly King Lao Tzu would not be able to save him, and Guo Peng would definitely not just beat him and spare him.

In the mature political group of the Guo Wei regime, perfect rules and regulations have long been formed, and they have been operating in accordance with such rules and regulations for a long time.

The people of Liangzhou themselves are used to being casual, so they think that everyone is casual, and under such an asymmetrical level of information understanding, they are calculated to death.

Han Sui and Yan Xing, including Cheng Gongying, really thought that Cao Ren had made such a decision alone, and decided to cooperate with them to attack Ma Teng and obtain the second county, so as to ask Guo Peng for credit.

Such a model reassures them.

So under Zhang Ji's persuasion, Han Sui arranged for Yan Xing, who served as the Taishou of Hanyang, to release the most critical Longdi defense line, so that Cao Ren could lead the army into Hanyang County to join forces with him, and then attack Ma Teng.
