In the middle of the same month, Cao Cao, the prime minister of Jinan, received a call for Qiaomao's crusade, was shocked, and immediately informed Guo Peng of the matter.

Guo Peng is now a pastor in Qingzhou, and he is the direct superior of the Jinan Minister, and this kind of thing will not work if he doesn't tell Guo Peng.

The troops arranged by Guo Peng in various places were all directly under his own orders, and there were only 500 county soldiers in the county to maintain order and assume the responsibility of public order, and they had little combat effectiveness.

And for such a big matter, Cao Cao didn't dare to call the shots alone, so he immediately went from Jinan to Linzi to find Guo Peng.

Guo Peng saw Qiao Mao's call to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and showed a look of surprise.

"Do not recognize the status of His Majesty today? They also want to do the abolition? ”

Guo Peng was very hesitant: "Big brother, this is not appropriate, this is completely inappropriate, this is to defeat the king with ministers, this is to mess up the dignity and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, and it is going to be a mess." ”

"However, they crusaded against Dong Zhuo as the general's old department, saying that Dong Zhuo was a sinner who plotted to kill the general, so he can be regarded as a famous teacher?"

"The teacher is famous, the teacher is famous, but how many people responded, it's hard to say, Qiao Mao called for the three princes, this name is not loud, big brother, our family background is different from theirs, what they can do, we may not be able to do."

When Guo Peng said this, Cao Cao also showed a hesitant look.

"Zifeng, what do you mean?"

"Wait and see, continue to wait and see, see how many people in the world respond to this matter, if there are many people who respond, it becomes a trend, let's join in, otherwise, this thing is really hard to say, a bad one, it will become a rebellion, everyone in the world will be punished, what can I do?"

Cao Cao felt that what Guo Peng said was reasonable, but he was worried about the identity of his old general.

"It's okay, eldest brother, I'm Qingzhou Mu, you are the Jinan minister I appointed, you just say I don't agree, I want to crusade against the Yellow Turban, put the responsibility on me, don't say never, just say that the crusade against the Yellow Turban is the most important, and then talk about these things after the Yellow Turban, otherwise the rear will not be guaranteed, it is a sin."

Cao Cao felt that this was not good for Guo Peng.

"Zifeng, isn't it good for you to do this?"

"I don't care, eldest brother, we must be cautious in this matter, we are all canonized positions by His Majesty today, and now opposing His Majesty is not a rebellion?"

"yes......"

Cao Cao was full of worries, but according to what Guo Peng said, he used the urgency of the war against the Yellow Turbans as an excuse to delay, did not give an accurate answer, played Tai Chi, and waited and saw the situation.

In addition to Cao Cao, several other generals' old departments, such as Wang Kuang and Bao Xin, responded directly, and after a while, Yuan Shao also responded, and Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, responded to Qiao Mao's call as the general's old department.

But Yuan Shao's response was a response, but he was restrained.

Dong Zhuo is not without fear of Yuan Shao, the reason why he named Han Fu as Jizhou Mu is that Han Fu wants Han Fu to suppress Yuan Shao as Jizhou Mu, form a relationship between superiors and subordinates, monitor and restrict Yuan Shao, and do not allow Yuan Shao to make trouble.

His approach was also effective at the beginning, Han Fu, as a former official of the Yuan family, was very jealous of Yuan Shao.

He admired Yuan Shao on the surface, but secretly felt very jealous because Yuan Shao did not cooperate with Dong Zhuo to preserve the fame of the honor, and was worried that Yuan Shao would encroach on his power and threaten his status.

At the banquet, he asked his henchmen whether he should help the Dong family or the Yuan family who responded to the call.

Staff member Liu Zihui was very dissatisfied with Han Fu's behavior at both ends of the head, and angrily reprimanded: "At this time, it should be to help the country, where did you come from to help Dong and Yuan?" ”

Han Fu felt ashamed, so he no longer stopped Yuan Shao from answering the call and wrote to Yuan Shao to support his actions, so Yuan Shao was able to act publicly.

The pressure of Jizhou Mu is still very much under the pressure of Yuan Shao, the Bohai Taishou, who is also an outsider, and has not yet gained a firm foothold, even if Yuan Shao is from the Yuan family, he will inevitably be suppressed under the name of righteousness.

It can be seen how strong the state pastor is to suppress the officials under his command.

Guo is also doing the same thing, after taking up the post of state pastor, in addition to Donglai County and Beihai Country were invaded by the Yellow Turban Army, Le'an State, Jinan State, Pingyuan County and Qi State were arranged by him to be his cronies as county ministers or garrison defense.

Cao Cao became the prime minister of Jinan, Zang Hong became the minister of Le'an, and Zao only sat firmly in the prime minister of Qi without a doubt.

Although Chen Ji was doing the Taishou of Pingyuan County, Guo Peng sent Cao Ren to lead 3,000 troops into Pingyuan County to defend on the grounds of preventing the local Yellow Turban Army from rising.

Then he sent the post superintendent to supervise the locality, took control of the situation in Pingyuan County, and began to prepare fortifications in the border between Pingyuan County and Jizhou, and controlled Pingyuan County from the military aspect.

He scattered people with experience in the management of grassroots people's organizations brought out from Shanggu County and Guo's Manor to the areas under his control, and arranged for displaced refugees to be cultivated in the desolate areas where there were no people and few people, and then set up administrative villages and townships.

These newly set up villages and townships were organized and managed by Guo Peng himself, and they could directly conscript soldiers and pay taxes directly to Linzi, but the local county government was in the hands of them

In this way, he increased the population under his direct control and increased his presence and power in Qingzhou.

Unlike Han Fu, who started at the top, Guo Peng cares more about the grassroots.

And he is not ambiguous at the top, with Cai Yong, a free star propaganda minister, blowing for him, it is needless to say that the scholars in Qingzhou who have not fled have no sense of him.

And Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got Han Fu's permission, and Yuan Shao quickly took advantage of this rare opportunity to publicly announce his dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo, and wanted to crusade against Dong Zhuo, create momentum, and buy time for himself.

If the momentum is too loud, Han Fu will not be able to deal with himself openly.

After getting Yuan Shao's response, the remaining Cao Cao also seemed insignificant.

Qiao Mao mocked Cao Cao with disdain for Guo Peng's excuses, so he ignored Cao Cao, and recruited troops and horses with the princes he contacted to create momentum.

Bao Xin learned that Cao Cao did not respond to this action, and felt very strange, so he wrote to Cao Cao and wrote to Guo Peng.

He persuaded Guo Peng to join the coalition against Dong, as long as Guo Peng joined the coalition against Dong, the chances of success of the action against Dong were higher.

Cao Cao received Bao Xin's letter and felt helpless, so he wrote to Bao Xin to explain.

Guo Peng also wrote to Bao Xin, saying that the Yellow Turban Army was plotting to attack the Qi State, and he was really lacking in skills, and he had to wait until the Yellow Turban Army was exterminated before he could consider anything else.

When the reply letter of the two was delivered to Bao Xin, it was already the New Year, and this year, the officials of the DPRK and China suggested changing the yuan and changing the era name to Chuping, and Dong Zhuo allowed it, so he changed the era name to Chuping.

It was also at the beginning of the first month that Dong Zhuo learned that the Kwantung generals He Jin's old army planned to raise troops against him.

These people, led by Yuan Shao, played the banner of opposing Dong Zhuo's self-reliant emperor Liu Xie, believing that Liu Xie was not the orthodox emperor, and Liu Wei, the nephew of the general He Jin, was the orthodox emperor, and they wanted to fight to Luoyang to restore Liu Wei's throne.

Dong Zhuo was greatly annoyed, angry, and frightened when he heard this.
