After the news spread that Guo Peng was going to serve as the captain of the guard Karasuma and went north, Yuan Shu was the first to congratulate him in a high-profile manner.

Adhering to the consistent trench demeanor of the children of the top wealthy families, he brought a lot of gifts, giving Guo Peng a lot of gold, silver, money, and a lot of military books.

Then Yuan Shu held a banquet for Guo Peng, and invited many people, including some acquaintances from Yuan Shao's side, relying on the relationship between Guo Peng and Cao Cao to also come to the meeting.

Of course, Cao Cao is coming, he was appointed as the minister of Jinan because of his military exploits, an official of two thousand stones, and he will go to his post soon.

In addition to Cao Cao, Guo Peng also insisted on inviting Sun Jian.

Sun Jian did not have such a hard relationship as Guo Peng and Cao Cao, and after the war, he was named Sima of other ministries, but he was only an official of Qianshi, but it was also a great improvement compared to before.

Sun Jian didn't expect Guo Peng to invite him to the meeting, and he held his hand to introduce Sun Jian to everyone, introduced Sun Jian's bravery, and then personally toasted him to express his admiration, etc., which gave Sun Jian a lot of face and made Sun Jian a little flattered.

He, a child of the Han family in the south, could actually participate in such a grand event, except for thanking Guo Peng, he had no other ideas.

After the joyful banquet, Guo Peng was going to officially make some of his own plans.

Although he really wanted to work with Sun Jian, Sun Jian was Zhu Jun's subordinate, recommended and promoted by Zhu Jun, and was regarded as Zhu Jun's former official, so all actions were still up to Zhu Jun.

So Guo Peng gave up the idea of inviting Sun Jian to work together in northern Xinjiang.

But Zang Hong didn't let it go, he went to the north to be the captain of the Karasuma school, he was not familiar with the place, what he needed most was to have his own strong subordinates to do his own basic plate, and give himself some confidence, so it was necessary to bring some trustworthy old subordinates as much as possible.

Zang Hong accepted Guo Peng's invitation without saying a word, so Guo Peng immediately appointed Zang Hong as his Sima.

Then Guo Peng paid Cheng Li's attention and wrote a letter to Cheng Li, hoping that he could be recruited to be his own chief historian, and go to northern Xinjiang with him to make contributions to the country, and ask him if he was willing.

The basic team of Yiwen and Wuwu was formed, and the next step was when Guo Peng had accumulated for many years to play a role.

Knowing that Guo Peng was going to Youzhou to be the captain of the Karasuma Guard, the old department of Changshui, who had fought with Guo Peng before, and the old department that Lu Zhi handed over to Guo Peng later, had an idea.

These old troops were mainly the cavalry of the Changshui Captain's Department, as well as the conscripts around Luoyang, and the rangers who were going to follow Guo Peng at the earliest.

Guo Peng fought and won many battles, and got a lot of booty and rewards, Guo Peng was generous and generously rewarded his subordinates, and many soldiers followed Guo Peng to get money.

Moreover, Guo Peng is sympathetic to the soldiers, and is an extremely rare general who is willing to save their lives, so he has received the heartfelt service of many soldiers who have recovered from injuries and returned to the team.

Many soldiers like this kind of boss very much, and they are very worried that there will be no such boss to follow in the future, so as soon as they heard that Guo Peng was going to leave Luoyang to become a captain of the Karasuma school, first of all, the rangers who followed Guo Peng first came to the door.

There were one hundred and seven rangers who came back with Guo Peng, and they brought more than two hundred rangers who admired Guo Peng, hoping to follow Guo Peng north and follow him to fight.

Many people said that their parents died and had no home or mouth, just one person, Guo Peng would take him with him if he wanted, and he would follow Guo Peng until he died.

Guo Peng did not object to accepting them all, and accepted the following of three hundred and seventeen rangers.

Then there was the Changshui cavalry, and two hundred and fifty-three of the Changshui cavalry who followed Guo Peng to fight and came back alive asked to go to the frontier with Guo Peng to serve.

Among them, there were already some Karasuma people, and some Xianbei people, who admired Guo Peng's bravery, thanked him for his kindness, and wanted to follow him to the northern Xinjiang to continue to serve him.

This kind of thing happens not uncommonly.

For example, because of his high prestige, Deng Xun was the captain of the Karasuma Guard, and the old subordinates of the Liyang Battalion were willing to follow him, and they did not hesitate to move.

This is mostly due to the personal charm of the generals, and also reflects the intensification of the personal dependence of soldiers on the generals in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty and the inaction of the central government in this regard.

The central government often did not have enough troops because of financial problems, so it allowed the generals to go out to fight against the unsubordinate, and even used the generals with combat effectiveness as the main army of the country, Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo are examples of this.

This is not a strange thing at this point.

The nature of these armies is naturally very vague, but the central government of the Han Dynasty does not care much about this, unless it is a general with extensive family resources, most people will choose to disband the army after the war, because raising troops is not an easy task.

Guo Peng pulled up this team thanks to the help of his friends and the help of the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Guo family, so the money is not so abundant, if it is to be maintained for a long time, the pitiful military salary of the imperial court is not enough.

Therefore, Guo Peng still has to think about how to use the power of Captain Karasuma to obtain money and use it as military resources after he grasps power in northern Xinjiang.

In addition to them, there were also some recruits who followed Guo Peng to fight and asked to follow Guo Peng to Northern Xinjiang.

Their number was two hundred and seventy-one, and Guo Peng also allowed it, accepted them, and took them to northern Xinjiang with him.

In addition, after the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the more than 500 trained soldiers that Guo Peng placed in his hometown were somewhat redundant, and now he needs them more than his hometown.

So Guo Peng sent a letter to Guo Dan, asking Guo Dan to send Guo Jin and Guo Tu over, plus 300 soldiers, to go north with him.

Cao Song said that he would write a letter to the Cao family in Qian County, asking the Cao family and the Xiahou family to gather 200 soldiers to go north and follow Guo Peng to fight.

Lin Lin finally came up with 1,241 soldiers who could fight to follow Guo Peng to the north, and some people did not hesitate to drag their families and families for this reason, and Guo Peng initially had his own power team.

Many of his friends gave him possessions, weapons, or horses.

Lu Zhi called Guo Peng to his mansion, took out thirty catties of gold and handed it to Guo Peng, and wrote a letter, asking Guo Peng to send it to his hometown after going to the station in Ning County, Shanggu County.

In this way, Lu Zhi's hometown will find a way to raise a batch of war horses and money for him, so that he can act conveniently.

Lu Zhi was very worried about Guo Peng, and told Guo Peng to ask the sect members for more advice on the affairs of Captain Karasuma after he took office, be familiar with the border situation, and never act blindly on his own.

Captain Gokarasuma had considerable authority over the Karasuma Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu tribes, but it was difficult to exercise this authority to make them all obedient.

The sect member is doing okay, with him doing the history of Youzhou Thorn, Youzhou can't be chaotic, Guo Peng can rely on him more.

Guo Peng was very moved, Lu Zhi's love for him was sincere.

Then Yuan Shu gave Guo Peng twenty war horses, and quietly gave him some bows and crossbows, telling him to hide them so as not to be discovered.

Sun Jian also gave Guo Peng the twenty war horses captured by his subordinates, expressing his gratitude to Guo Peng.

Cao Song also prepared a sum of gold and handed it to Guo Peng, and said that he would purchase a batch of war horses in Bingzhou and send them to Shanggu County for Guo Peng to use, so that Guo Peng should be careful.

Cao Cao took out some of his private money and gave it to Guo Peng, and also asked him to be careful.

Guo Hong took out a sum of money and gave it to Guo Peng, hoping that Guo Peng would make achievements and not fall into the fame of his ancestors.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were about to follow Guo Peng north without saying a word, Xiahou Yuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao smiled and patted Xiahou Yuan on the shoulder.

"A man should fight in all directions, establish meritorious deeds, and contribute to the country, I will be the prime minister of Jinan, not to fight, Yuan Rang should go north with Zifeng and establish meritorious deeds!"

Saying that, Cao Cao also held Guo Peng's hand and said in a deep voice: "If I make achievements, I will also apply to Your Majesty to be transferred to the northern border counties, fight side by side with Zifeng, and crusade against the barbarians together!" ”

Guo Peng nodded.

Then, it's Cao Lan's problem.
