At that time, Guo Peng led the four troops of Zhao Yun, Guo Lie, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, to defeat 20,000 Yellow Turban troops under Xu He and Sima Ju in Le'an Kingdom, beheaded thousands, and pacified the entire territory of Le'an Kingdom.

The galloping cavalry made the Yellow Turban Army at a loss, Xu He and Sima Ju were beaten by Guo Peng and threw away their armor and fled for their lives.

The remaining 10,000 Yellow Turban prisoners and more than 30,000 men and women were captured again, and Guo Peng incorporated them into the ranks of the refugees.

Half of these people will be arranged to carry out tuntian in Le'an State, and half will be arranged to be tuntian in Jinan State, and they will be handed over to Zang Hong and Cao Cao respectively.

These people want to say that they are yellow scarves, they are also yellow scarves, and if they are not yellow scarves, they are not yellow scarves.

They are purely using the name of the Yellow Turban to eat, they don't even know how to write the word Yellow Turban, they don't know what Taiping Doctrine is, and some people don't even know that the great sage and good teacher named Zhang Jiao don't know.

These people, who have food to eat and a piece of land to plant, are honest.

The real dishonest ones are those who take the lead, who are literate, ambitious, cunning, and will be killed if they are caught, and they will show absolutely no mercy.

These people were able to organize into dozens of villages and townships, and Guo Peng arranged for a large number of his own people to be village and township heads, and led them to build new homes.

And if there were any of them who wanted to join the army, Guo Peng also accepted them, included them in the army, and sent them to the recruit camp in Linzi, Qi State, and handed them over to Yu Ban for training.

Yu Ban is really a talent who is good at military training, Guo Peng discussed some principles in military training with him, and Yu Ban talked about the Tao.

Guo Peng was very happy, so he handed over the soldiers and horses to him to train, and then incorporated them into the army, and incorporated the elite soldiers brought out from Shanggu into it as grassroots officers to pull the army up.

From mid-November to early February, more than 3,000 recruits were recruited into the army in more than three months, and Guo Peng handed over an excellent answer sheet.

As soon as Guo Peng was happy, he was made a lieutenant in Yu Ban, and he was also given an alias, called Zhongwu Lieutenant, specializing in military training.

In mid-February, the news of Liu Wei's death by Dong Zhuo reached Guo Peng's side, and only one day later, Bao Xin's letter was again delivered to Guo Peng.

Bao Xin explained this matter earnestly, explained the importance of Dong Zhuo as a national thief who must be crusaded, and once again sincerely invited Guo Peng to join their alliance.

This time, Guo Peng did not refuse.

"Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and unreasonable, brutalizing the royal family, everyone will be punished, Guo Mou is the emperor's favor, and he has broken his liver and intestines when he heard about it, and there is no reason not to be stubborn for this."

Guo Peng wrote back to Bao Xin, confirming that he would participate in the alliance against Dong Zhuo.

However, this incident was only a catalyst, and before Guo Peng confirmed his joining, the coalition to defeat Dong Zhuo had basically been established.

After the old faction of the Great General led by Yuan Shao was assembled, in late January, the faction of celebrities and scholars secretly operated by Yuan Kui was almost assembled.

The initiator is Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao.

The opportunity was that Yuan Sui, who was an official in Luoyang, returned to his hometown.

Yuan Sui is a native of Guangling, and his position is relatively special, he is Taifu Peng, and he is Yuan Kui's subordinate official.

Yuan Kui was unwilling to fail, and after secretly manipulating Dong Zhuo to confer official titles on celebrities, he sent Yuan Sui to sneak out of Luoyang, return to his hometown, and find Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling.

Yuan Sui explained to him Yuan Kui's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui's preparations, hoping that Zhang Chao could unite with his brother Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao and contact the celebrities together to launch a war against Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Chao readily agreed, entrusted the responsibility of Guangling Taishou to Yuan Sui, and led the army and supplies to Chenliu and found his brother Zhang Miao.

The two hit it off, and after Yuan Shao, they launched the second batch of rally orders to defeat Dong Zhuo.

They sent the crusade to Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, Runan Taishou Kong Rong, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and the later general Yuan Shu who recruited troops in Nanyang and others.

So the two major factions of Dong Zhuo were crusaded, the faction of the old department of the great general He Jin and the faction of the famous men of the Kwantung region.

Yuan Kui's original idea may have been to let Yuan Shu lead the celebrities to crusade against Luoyang, and the faction of the great generals led by Yuan Shao may not be in his plan.

As a result, Yuan Shu was too watery, and after the news of Liu Wei's death came out in February, the princes of the General faction and the Mingshi faction united because of their common appeal.

In the end, the leader was actually recommended as Yuan Shao, who took the lead in releasing the text of Dong Zhuo and preserved his reputation, not Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was very annoyed by this, and he also issued a message, but only Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, and Liu Xiang, the Taishou of Jiangxia, responded to him, and wanted to lead an army from Jingzhou to cooperate with him.

Yuan Shu also wrote to Guo Peng, wanting to join forces with Guo Peng to attack Dong Zhuo and enhance his momentum, Guo Peng wrote back to him that the road to Nanyang was too far, and he would first go to Sujube to join the rebel army, and then join Yuan Shu in Luoyang.

Because Guo Peng wanted to participate in the fight against Dong's coalition army, he summoned his important subordinates to discuss this matter and decide who would accompany him and who would stay and defend.

First of all, it is determined that the ministers of various countries, county magistrates, and other people who have important matters in their bodies cannot leave, and must continue to stay to handle government affairs and resettle displaced people.

Under Guo Peng's persuasion, Zang Hong and Cao Cao, who originally wanted to go but were too busy with government affairs, to get out of their bodies, no longer fought for it.

"Big brother, Ziyuan, at this time, there are not many people I can trust, I can only ask you, the yellow turban is powerful, and there are no trusted people left in Qingzhou, I'm really worried"

Guo Peng held the hands of Cao Cao and Zang Hong, and the two of them were moved in their hearts and decided to stay and guard the place, so that Guo Peng could fight with peace of mind.

After Zang Hong left, Guo Peng had a secret conversation with Cao Cao.

"The eldest brother said in the past that in order to protect ourselves, we need one person to follow Yuan Shu and one person to follow Yuan Shao to survive, but the current situation is chaotic, and we don't know what tomorrow will become.

The Yuan family is not guaranteed by himself, so how can he care about us? Eldest brother, to say something inappropriate, Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway can be friends, but they can't trust their lives and the future of the family.

The most reliable is always our own family, eldest brother, I am already a Qingzhou pastor, although the background is not as good as the Yuan family, but it is not difficult for us to make a career on our own. ”

When Cao Cao heard Guo Peng say this, he suddenly had expectations for the future.

He decided to cooperate with Guo Peng, cooperate with his family, and create his own business, instead of surviving under the protection of the Yuan family.

Seriously, Yuan Shao's revelation of his scars in front of He Jin is really chilling, the heroic Yuan Benchu is no longer there.

Cao Cao confirmed this matter.

The most reliable is your own family.

With the belief that he would make a career, Cao Cao, who had ideals and feelings in his heart, returned to Jinan.

Guo Peng also divided Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan as captains, and let them lead their troops to stay in the four counties that Qingzhou could control.

Cao Ren cooperated with Chen Ji to guard Pingyuan County, Cao Hong cooperated with Cao Cao to defend Jinan, Xiahou Yuan cooperated with Zao Yi to defend Qi, Xiahoudun cooperated with Zang Hong to guard Le'an Kingdom, and Cheng Li commanded in the center, so as to protect the fruits of everyone's victory.

Yu Ban didn't take it with him, stayed in Qingzhou to train troops, Guo Peng decided to take Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guo Lie to attack.

Cao Chun and Guo Jia were taken to see the world.

After the basic decision, Guo Peng decided to only bring 5,000 people to attack, 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses stayed in Qingzhou to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from taking advantage of his absence to raise troops to attack and mess up his lair.
