The persuasion came to an end, and the five major strategists under Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Guo Peng only got Tian Feng.

However, Guo Peng was already very satisfied, except for some regrets about frustration.

However, Guo Peng's mentality is no longer the same as in the past.

In the past few days, between these processes, Guo Peng's mentality has further evolved.

The most important thing is yourself, that is, you don't make mistakes.

What if the military generals are famous?

It is the lord who gives them the space to play, and it is the lord who gives them the stage that makes them have their achievements.

Most of today's understanding of the military generals in this historical period does not come from history books, but from games, and the various abilities in the games.

And these values can best reflect the connotation of success and defeat.

If the battle between Yuan and Cao is won by Yuan Shao, then the values of the generals under Yuan Shao will be reversed with the values of the generals under Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will also be reversed with the values of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will become the most amazing person.

Today's people would not generally despise Yuan Shao and his subordinates, but widely praise Cao Cao and his subordinates.

The winner is king, the loser is cole, and even the characters who are made into the game thousands of years later can't escape this fate.

It was Cao Cao who was more powerful than Yuan Shao, and his luck was better than Yuan Shao, and the tide of the times also favored Cao Cao and abandoned Yuan Shao by chance, not everyone under Cao Cao was better than everyone under Yuan Shao.

There are too many accidental and inevitable factors in the outcome of this war.

It's the same with yourself.

It was Guo Zifeng who appointed them.

It was Guo Zifeng who gave them well-trained soldiers and horses, not patchwork militia.

It was Guo Zifeng who gave them a stage to show their abilities, instead of imprisoning them like Tian Feng.

It is Guo Zifeng who is planning the future, guiding the way, and moving forward by any means, instead of thinking that the fourth and third princes are all like Yuan Shao.

The most important thing is Guo Zifeng himself.

It's me!

I'm actually a chess player anymore, I'm no longer a pawn to be manipulated.

I've started fiddling with other people as pawns.

Guo Peng cleared some doubts and worries in his heart, freed up some memory, and stuffed it full of sovereign thinking.

There is another point, Guo Peng is quite interested.

Thousands of years later, with his own participation, will this history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty also be made into a game?

If so, what kind of game values will you get when you are the ultimate winner?

Is it a true hexagonal warrior?

What kind of gaming experience will players have when they control a regular hexagonal warrior like themselves?

Guo Peng smiled with a wicked smile.

After settling down the civil and military generals who surrendered to him, and promulgating the basic policy of killing the powerful landlords who helped Yuan Shao, rewarding the powerful landlords who helped Guo Peng, and appeasing the neutral powerful landlords, the officials under Guo Peng's command began to gradually digest Jizhou.

Since September, Guo Peng has thoroughly implemented the established policy.

The army pushed all the way from south to north, pushing Jizhou completely, so it is estimated that by the beginning of November, all the nine counties of Jizhou will be captured.

It may take another year or two to fully grasp and digest Jizhou and make Jizhou its own forward base.

Guo Peng is not in a hurry to mobilize Jizhou's mobilization force now, but plans to silently consolidate his foundation in Jizhou, appease those who are willing to cooperate, eliminate those who resist, and control Jizhou as much as possible.

Therefore, Guo Peng ordered the reconstruction of Jizhou to begin, and the village chiefs and township heads who had sufficient business capacity mobilized from Qingyan Prefecture came to Jizhou one by one, and began to reorganize the population and land that Jizhou could control.

In addition, Guo Peng decided to play Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, as the assassin of Jizhou.

He also played Gu Yong, the minister of Beihai State, and was transferred to serve as the Taishou of Wei County, and played his own family Guo Rui as the minister of Zhao State.

Then Guo Peng himself went to Jixian County, and like Yuan Shao, communicated with the powerful landlords in Youzhou, talked to each other about the conditions, and ostensibly established his dominance over Youzhou.

Guo Peng also expressed Xian Yufu as the history of Youzhou, and asked Xian Yufu to control Youzhou instead of himself.

Subsequently, Nanlou asked Guo Peng to send troops to attack the eastern Karasuma of Qiuli's residence, which was also a part of Guo Peng's promise to Nanlou before the war.

Guo Peng agreed, and then ordered Xian Yufu to be the main and Tian Yu to be the auxiliary, and mobilize the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to cooperate with the Karasuma cavalry of Nanlou to crusade against Qiu Liju.

Guo Peng gave some financial support, and the rest depends on how the major wealthy families in Youzhou express themselves.

The major wealthy families immediately understood what Guo Peng meant.

Under the leadership of Xian Yufu and Tian Yu, they gathered a team of soldiers and horses, and together with Nanlou, they went to crusade against Qiu Liju.

This is the most traditional Eastern Han Dynasty military model.

After that, Guo Peng also had a clear plan.

Guo Peng is currently understaffed, and he can't even control Jizhou, not to mention Youzhou, eating Jizhou with a million household registrations in one bite, it really takes a lot of time to digest it.

Therefore, for Youzhou, it can only be remotely controlled in the form of a restraint policy for the time being, and let the people of Youzhou deal with their own internal problems.

It's like for merging states.

When Guo Peng defeated Yuan Shao, there was no history of assassination in the state, and even the county guard order was lacking in large quantities, and many places were in a state of anarchy, and the clan protected itself.

The Southern Xiongnu, the Yellow Turban Army, and the clan forces were intertwined in the annexed states, but the most powerful of them was undoubtedly the Southern Xiongnu, and many counties along the Yellow River valley were completely controlled by the Southern Xiongnu.

Guo Peng appointed Zhang Yan as the Taishou of the Shangdang, and handed over to Zhang Yan the only county where the Han people currently have a dominant power.

Because Guo Peng really did not have the spare ability to occupy the state at this time, and the troops were not sufficient, he directly used the power of the old Yellow Turban Army to represent his own existence.

This is a transitional step.

But even so, he couldn't let his spoils of war go to waste, so Guo Peng appointed Zhang Yan as the party's taishou at the same time, and at the same time expressed his good friend Zang Hong was transferred to serve as the general of the state assassin and the Xiongnu.

Zang Hong had followed Guo Peng to fight on the border for several years and understood the grim situation on the border, so Guo Peng handed over the position of the Assassin of Bingzhou, which could only control one county for the time being, to Zang Hong, and transferred 5,000 troops to Zang Hong's commander, so that Zang Hong stared at Zhang Yan a little, and did not let Zhang Yan let himself fly too much.

After that, Guo Peng is going to make up for his shortcomings, and he wants to expand the army.

After maintaining the scale of 70,000 soldiers in Qingyan Erzhou, this time it was found that the army was indeed insufficient, and the expansion of the army was imminent, so while governing Jizhou, the expansion of the army also began at the same time.

The army left by Yuan Shao was carefully selected by Guo Peng to enrich the army with 30,000 people, and then set up two recruitment battalions in Wei County and Julu County, recruiting strong men from Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou to join the army in the camp, and the treatment was favorable.

The model of the training battalion that has formed a scale has been copied to the Jizhou training battalion, and the two training battalions in Jizhou have begun to accept new recruits and start daily training.

Guo Peng plans to recruit 100,000 troops in the three states of Hebei as soldiers, with the population of Jizhou, this number is absolutely achievable, and there are already 30,000 at the moment, as long as another 70,000 are recruited.

In Qingyan Prefecture, Guo Peng's soldiers actually had about 100,000, but when the army was dispatched for the Northern Expedition, only 50,000 could be used.

If the three prefectures of Hebei want to recruit 100,000 troops, it is estimated that the mobile troops that can be mobilized will only be about 50,000.

Nearly 100,000 mobile troops were gathered, which was enough to meet the needs of crusade operations under various circumstances.

To the extent that the warlords pecked at each other, 100,000 elite divisions were enough to push all enemies flat at the level of war.

At the political level, a million troops could almost make up for the gap in political strength between Guo Peng and the fourth and third dukes.

The expansion of the army to one million is an unbearable burden for the Han Empire, with a population of less than 50 million, as long as Guo does not lose his brain, he will still take the route of elite soldiers.

The expansion plan of Jizhou began, and Guo Peng transported a large amount of money and grain saved by the two states of Qingyan to Jizhou to build a new Jizhou, and based on this, he entered the base, and then truly controlled Youzhou and Merge Prefecture.

The power of the entire Guo Peng Group has swelled rapidly and grown rapidly, and everyone seems to have crossed the bottleneck of growth.
