Having said that, such a powerful Guo Peng also needs time to train his troops in Tuntian, accumulate strength, and rest with the people.

Therefore, Guo Peng will not use troops in the south in the short term, so he naturally has to focus on the north.

The merger of states and Youzhou, which have not yet been completely pacified, will be his next plan.

Take complete control of Youzhou and Bingzhou, restore a complete border defense line, eliminate the influence of the northern steppe tribes on the military and political situation in the Central Plains, eliminate external troubles, and then concentrate on internal affairs.

Therefore, the core area of the next plan will be in Jizhou, which has not been damaged by long-term large-scale wars, and Jizhou, which has been relatively well preserved and has been developed for a while.

Cao Cao, the assassin of Jizhou, was still very conscientious, faithfully implementing Guo Peng's tuntian policy and the policy of reassuring the people, vigorously restoring agricultural production, building water conservancy, and governing Jizhou well.

If Guo Peng wants to make a move against Bingzhou and Youzhou, he must use Jizhou as a base for advancement, so Guo Peng decided to move his station to Yecheng in the next step, concentrate on running Jizhou, train more and more powerful troops, and go on a northern expedition to Bingzhou and Youzhou.

In this case, Guo Peng needs a stable political environment to facilitate his own efforts and accumulate strength in Jizhou.

At the same time, the strength accumulated in Jizhou can also cope with the situation in the Hongnong area of Luoyang, if necessary, you can directly march to Luoyang through Hanoi, and then march west to Hongnong, the location is very advantageous.

Thinking of this, Guo Peng smiled, and wrote a big "Wei" on a bamboo board.

Wei, in another time and space, Cao Cao's feudal title.

After defeating Yuan Shao and Guanzhong, Cao Cao chose to move his political and military center to Hebei due to the deterioration of relations with the Xuchang court.

On the one hand, it deters the remnants of the Yuan clan, and on the other hand, it stays away from Xuchang and weakens Xuchang's political position within his own power group.

Because Yecheng was the capital of Wei in ancient times, Cao Cao then took Wei as the title, and had to be named the Duke of Wei, and built the Duchy of Wei, imitating the old practice of the princely states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, placing hundreds of officials, adding nine tins, and building a temple to worship the ancestors.

Anyway, it's an amazing feeling.

For this country, for this title, Guo Peng always has an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Maybe it's because of a sense of identification with this history and that person?

After thinking for a while, Guo Peng made up his mind and wrote a reply letter and sent it to Hongnong County to hand over to Yan Rou.

Guo Peng told Yan Rou that Yan Rou did the right thing, he was a modest and cautious person, and he would never be crowned king, that would be too annoying, and it would be good to have a duke.

As for the desired title - Wei.

What he wants to establish is the Duchy of Wei that belongs to him completely, and the location is in Jizhou.

He wanted nine counties including Anping, Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhao, Julu, Bohai, and Wei as his fiefdoms and established the Duchy of Wei!

Move all the kings of the Liu family who are sealed in Jizhou and let Jizhou belong to you!

Eliminated Yuan Shu, a traitor, and saved the fate of your Han family, can't this reward be given to me?

Guo Peng ambitiously imagined a series of actions after he established the Duchy of Wei, and began to imagine how he should divide his own hundred officials and generals.

Of course, the preliminary preparations still have to be made, for example, Guo Peng immediately wrote back to Cheng Yu, asking Cheng Yu to quickly prepare and move his general's mansion and many supporting facilities to Yecheng.

This will be the precursor to a series of big changes.

Guo Peng still has to stay in Huainan for a while, deal with many affairs in Huainan, and then set off back to Yecheng to prepare for being sealed.

Jia Xu will definitely give himself a big surprise.

Guo Peng has such a hunch, in addition to Feng Gong, there are other surprises.

In addition, there was also a personal letter to Cheng Yu, which was sent to Cheng Yu through the channel of Linzi Camp.

The letter sent by Guo Peng to Cheng Yu was quickly delivered.

Within a few days, Cheng Yu received an official order from Guo Peng, asking Cheng Yu to prepare for the relocation of the General's Mansion and supporting measures to Yecheng.

The people who helped Cheng Yu with his errands were mainly Xun Yu, and then Cui Yan, Dong Zhao, Xin Bitian Feng and others assisted on the side, forming a work unit similar to Shang Shutai.

Cheng Yu is the leader, Xun Yu is second, and the others are all similar to the positions in the waiter.

In addition to these children of the scholar clan, there are also other people who join them as clerks, copying and writing errands, such as several children of the Guo family, as well as Guo Yuan and Xi Wei and others recommended by Zheng Xuan.

The decision-making body composed of this group of people is the body that presides over the daily work after Guo Peng leaves, and usually serves as Guo Peng's secretary, after Guo Peng leaves, it is the Secretary-General Cheng Yu who is fully responsible for managing government affairs.

Cheng Yu was the first veteran to follow Guo Peng, although his background was not high, but as Guo Peng's earliest former official, he was very trusted by Guo Peng, and he also had a strong ability to govern and govern the army.

Although there are also arguments, saying that Xun Yu was born in the Yingchuan Xun clan and is the best candidate, but Guo Peng trusts Cheng Yu and lets Cheng Yu do such a thing, so no one can shake Cheng Yu's status.

Xun Yu is indeed a gentleman, saying that he is inexperienced, and he has only been working under Guo Peng for five years, no more than Cheng Yu who has followed Guo Peng for ten years, and has handled military and government affairs, he is the earliest veteran, and Cheng Yu is twenty-two years older than him, how can he be above Cheng Yu?

Having said that, Xun Yu has no opinion, and those who have opinions can't say less.

Cheng Yu is from a poor family, there is no reliable diploma, it is difficult to get the recognition of the mainstream of society, Cheng Yu himself knows his weaknesses, so under the instruction of Guo Peng, he never makes public comments on this, but just does things honestly.

Anyway, he knows Guo Peng's true ambitions, he doesn't care about these, he sees the long-term.

So before getting the official order, Cheng Yu had already learned of Guo Peng's real order in private.

The capital was moved to Yecheng to make preliminary preparations for the establishment of the Duchy of Wei.

Guo Peng wants to lay the foundation for his future ascension to the throne and emperor in Yecheng, first get the future administrative structure, and put it into trial operation for a while, so as to govern Jizhou well and facilitate the governance of the whole country in the future.

Guo Peng also specifically mentioned that Cheng Yu is the most important adviser under him, and he will give Cheng Yu a high-ranking and powerful status, so that Cheng Yu can display his talents to the fullest.

Cheng Yu was overjoyed, forcibly held back the joy in his heart, and when he got the official document, he unhurriedly announced the order to move the general's mansion.

Upon hearing this order, everyone in the government office felt a little sudden.

"The General's Mansion is moving again?"

"It hasn't been a long time since I moved to Puyang, why do I have to move again?"

In the face of everyone's doubts, Cheng Yu said that this is for practical considerations.

"Youzhou and Merge are not completely under the control of our army, but the location of Youju and Erzhou is important, it is an important border state, and my northern defense line is in Youju Erzhou, and over the years, foreign people have moved south, and they have gradually encroached on Youju and Erzhou.

The collapse of the Great Wall defense line will directly threaten Hebei and Jizhou, so this time Yuan Highway returns, and the general intends to take the next step is to master the annexation of Zhouzhou and Youzhou, and rebuild the completed defense line to prevent foreign invasion. ”

Cheng Yu announced this high-sounding reason, and everyone said they understood.

I see.
