According to Guo Peng's guess, in the original history, it was probably because the Zhen family was really rich, had extensive land and grain, and was very attractive to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao did not engage in tuntian, the source of money and grain was unstable, at that time there were frequent wars, Yuan Shao used troops for many years, and the expenditure on money and food was huge, and he needed Zhen's help in the local area, and he needed Zhen's money, food and manpower, so he was about marriage to win over Zhen's.

But for the current Guo Peng, Zhen is not attractive.

Guo Peng himself has a stable income of money and food to operate, and Guo Peng can provide all the money that the Zhen family can provide, and this time using their food is just to test his fame and power, not necessary.

For Guo Peng, Zhen is dispensable.

But since people took the initiative to throw out olive branches and gave out so much money and food, the so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, Guo Peng also noted the existence of the Zhen family.

Zhen's most famous is probably the legendary Luo Shen who is so beautiful that people are fascinated.

Everyone is sought after, everyone yearns for it.

The legendary Roselle is probably really beautiful, but so what?

No matter how beautiful she is, is she more beautiful than the supreme power in the world and the future of her dreams?

Can Zhen provide Guo Peng with any help that he desperately needs or needs for a long time?

If there is, Guo Peng doesn't mind agreeing on a marriage for his eldest son Guo Jin and Zhen's daughter, anyway, they are of the same age, and it may be a good choice to let Luo Shen be the wife of his eldest son Guo Jin.

Marriage is not such a simple thing.

Especially as the lord of the five states, Guo is powerful, powerful, and has 200,000 armor, will his eldest son's wife make such a hasty decision?

Did Zhen give his life for me or did he make some commendable contributions?

At most, give a county order dangdang, which can be regarded as giving face, if you want to go further, lick me obediently! Lick it for three or five years!

Marriage?

Don't even think about it.

Marriage is a very important thing, and it is also a matter of life for Xiaomin, and the higher the status, the more important the marriage.

For politicians and powerful people, marriage is one of the necessary means to achieve political and economic goals.

For Guo Peng, including himself, his sons, and his daughters who may have in the future, everyone's marriage must serve this.

The wives of the sons and the husbands of the daughters should be chosen carefully, and if there are no obvious benefits, they should not even think about it.

Rewarding heroes, attracting talents, stabilizing the situation, etc., can all be achieved through the means of marriage.

This is the norm, it is the norm of the upper class of society in this era, everyone is like this, don't think about freedom, it is impossible to be free.

If any of the children dares to tell Guo Peng in the future that they want to choose their own mate, and then choose a messy one, Guo Peng will definitely educate them gently.

Very gentle.

Back then, Guo Peng exchanged his marriage for the first pot of gold to make a fortune.

Without Cao's help, Guo Peng would not have been able to arrive in Luoyang smoothly, let alone get involved with Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, and the earliest team would not have been able to pull up, so there would be no today.

Na Mizhen is a concubine, because Mi has strong manpower, material and financial resources in Xuzhou, and is loyal to his own work, selling horses to the Central Plains and Jiangnan all the year round, earning high profits for military expenses.

Guo Peng is so rich, can build so many troops, can establish his own independent financial system, among which the Mi family is a great contribution, not to mention that they can also help take Xuzhou in the future.

So to marry.

Treat Cao Lan and Mi Zhen with affection, give them children, make them smile, and make them happy.

They deserve it.

If the Zhen family had contributed money or sold some intelligence when Guo Peng attacked Jizhou, Guo Peng would have been gentle with them, but unfortunately he didn't.

Jizhou was brought down by me under the banner of Yuan Highway and my own troops, what does it have to do with those powerful landlords in Hebei who did not take refuge in Guo Peng?

Whether it is Guo Peng himself or his son, if he has a marriage relationship with a powerful landlord in Hebei now, everyone in the Guo Group will feel very strange and ask why, is it because of a little money?

Many civil and military generals who have made meritorious contributions are still waiting in line to get the number.

It is estimated that Guo Jin and Guo Jun's wife will be the number one concern for many people, after all, the momentum of Guo Peng Group is so fierce.

Guo Jin, Guo Jun, and the two newborn sons, their marriages are also the same, and they must contribute to Guo Peng's goals.

As Guo's child, if he doesn't have this awareness, he is indeed reincarnated.

Is it just for the sake of happiness that you were born in a home of fine clothes and fine food?

Only the nouveau riche would think and do that.

There is no one who has an eye on the family heirloom and a more ambitious ideal who has not been bright in his heart since he was a child.

Knowing that they have no freedom of choice, only acceptance and forced acceptance, the outcome is the same.

Thinking of this, Guo Peng suddenly felt that the number of his children was not much, and it seemed that it was not enough.

He felt that he should indeed take a few more concubines and have more children, so that he could keep up with his needs.

Whether it is for inheritance status or for any other purpose, the number of sons and daughters must be guaranteed, and the lack of children is indeed a great disadvantage.

Guo Peng began to think about whether to take a few concubines from one or several families, contact everyone well, and have more children.

No, it's not about thinking, it's about what you have to do.

It's imminent, and it's time to take action.

Cao Lan and Mi Zhen have just given birth to a child and need a period of recuperation, and this is the time to take a concubine.

Guo Peng began to think about whose families he wanted to take concubines from, there would be no problems in terms of identity and status, and there would be enough benefits.

Marriage, it's nothing more than to win people's hearts, appease heroes, exchange interests, etc., in terms of status, of course, the wife doesn't want to think about it, but it's still okay to give a concubine with status.

Nominally, Guo Peng has been "successfully entitled, and he has to prepare eight concubines", and now he only uses up one place, and there are still seven positions waiting for someone who is destined.

Who is the destined person?

In May of the first year of Xingping, Guo Peng led the troops from Puyang County, all the way to the north, along the road of Jizhou to Shangdang County, and on the way forward, Guo Peng asked Tian Feng about the strategy of this battle.

A few days earlier, Guo Peng had received information from Zang Hong, saying that they had detected that the number of the combined forces of the Baibo Army and the Yufuluo Army was about 30,000 or 40,000.

When Guo Peng heard this, he didn't panic at all.

Since joining the army to fight, this is the first time that Guo Peng has fought more and less.

Countless times before, he either fought more with less or with a draw, but for Guo Peng, this time he was not panicked at all.

And more importantly, neither the Yufula nor the Baibo army had a stable logistics base and food source.

This point was brought up by Tian Feng.

"The white wave thieves and Yu Fuluo are both rogue bandits, not good at production, entrenched in the valley of Bingzhou, to plunder for a living, after our army entered Hanoi, several times there were small groups of white wave thieves into Hedong County and Hanoi County, into Hanoi County several times for Han Fujun broken, it can be seen that their people lack food and clothing."

"The enemy lacks food and clothing, and our army has abundant food and clothing, and it is already invincible before the war starts."

Guo Peng smiled: "Yuan Hao, you really don't know, I really have almost never fought such an advantageous battle, every time in the past I was not an absolute advantage, every time it was dangerous, but this time, it seems to be a little different." ”

"The Duke of Ming already has the land of Ji Qingyou and the Five Prefectures of Yan, the Duke of Ming is no longer the Duke of Ming in the past, and there are not many princes in the world who have more advantages than the Duke of Ming."

Tian Feng seems to have something to say.

Guo Peng turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and then laughed.

"Yuan Benchu also thought so at the beginning, this kind of thinking is not good, and I am not the best in the world, right? Yuan Hao, have you ever seen a hunting beast do it casually? ”

"No, I didn't."

Tian Feng shook his head.

"Wild beasts hunt, no matter how powerful they are, as fierce as a lion and tiger, when hunting, whether the prey on the other side is weak or strong, they are all equally preoccupied, because they know that although they are strong, if they fail to hunt, they are in danger of starving to death."

Guo Peng stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "No matter how many soldiers and horses I have, even if the enemy is weak, I can't underestimate it, the lion fights the rabbit and does my best, I am cautious every step I take now, for fear that if I take the wrong step, I will lose everything."

Yuan Hao, I have a lot of soldiers and horses, many civil and military forces, they all entrust me with their lives and the future of the family, they may be able to entertain, they can relax, but I can't, if I am easy to entertain, it is not that I am alone in danger, so I am far from the time when I can sit back and relax. ”
