Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others, as the main force leading Jingzhou's surrender, must be rewarded and reused, otherwise it is not enough to reflect Guo's trust in the heroes and the maintenance of the rules of the game.

After thinking about it, Guo Peng decided to knight them, and at worst they should be crowned viscounts, otherwise it would not be enough to reward them for their merits.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Liang The four main heroes were all awarded third-class marquises, and the other heroes were awarded from third-class sons to first-class uncles, anyway.

As long as they surrendered, those who did not go against the Guo Wei regime had to be sealed and included in the ruling group, after all, their surrender also reduced the Wei army a lot of losses.

Then in terms of the distribution of actual power, it must also be given, and the officials of the Central Plains cannot be used on a large scale, and the officials of Jingzhou must also be used and given power.

For example, Guo Peng intended to hand over the position of Jingzhou Thorn History to Kuai Yue, and appointed Kuai Yue as the Jingzhou Thorn History to stabilize people's hearts.

Then he appointed Cai Mao as the commander of the Nanjun garrison, so that he could hold a certain amount of military power.

With such a gesture, let the people of Jingzhou rest assured, let the people of Jingzhou know that he Guo will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, will not occupy Jingzhou and let them have no food, and will not panic because he transferred a large number of Jingzhou officials to the central government.

However, there must be people in Jingzhou, and there must be no less people in the center.

After all, he would not allow Jingzhou to really continue to exist as a semi-independent territory, the Wei army had already been stationed and occupied, and it was no different from conquest, he would inevitably go to Jingzhou to join the ruling power of the Wei regime, and also draw some Jingzhou people to the center.

Therefore, Kuai Liang and Zhang Yun will be transferred to the central government by him and serve as central officials.

Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Song Zhong and other Jingzhou officials also held official positions in the central government.

Jingzhou's famous celebrities Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan were personally recruited by Guo Peng as the emperor, and asked them to come to the central government as officials, saying that they would be entrusted to rebuild Luoyang Taixue.

The rest of the military officials who stayed in Jingzhou must be accompanied by relatives or relatives to go to Luoyang to serve as officials and live in order to implement the Wei regime's rule of "single and not in office".

Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Gan Ning, the three major generals of Jingzhou continued to serve in the local or military areas, and continued to contribute to the pacification of the four counties of Jingnan.

According to Guo Jia's description, all three of them can be used.

Huang Zhong's son himself was recuperating in Jizhou, and there were people in the Wenpin family who were officials in the Central Plains, not to mention Gan Ning, a lonely ghost, a lost dog, who had no way to betray him, and was bound to be loyal to the Wei Empire.

Therefore, Guo Peng decided to appoint them to continue to lead the troops, as an example, in order to stabilize the morale of the Jingzhou army, and continue to stabilize the hearts of Guo Peng in the subsequent army rectification action.

These active or semi-active subordinates are still easy to deal with.

And those who are non-violent and uncooperative, who surrender but are unwilling to join the Wei state, are a bit troublesome.

The five most famous surrendered but did not hold official positions, Han Song, Yi Zhi, Wang Wei, Su Fei, and Huo Jun.

These five people surrendered, but when the state asked them to join the ruling group to contribute to the Wei state, they refused, saying that they would never be in the same room with the thieves who betrayed the master, and they only wanted to know how the Wei Emperor Guo Peng would treat Liu Cong, who surrendered.

Kuai Yue and other Jingzhou ministers strongly advocated the beheading of these five people because of this incident, because they not only slandered the heroes, but also were unwilling to cooperate with the Guo Wei regime, which was a rebellious act and should be beheaded.

The ministers of Jingzhou, led by Kuai Yue, sent a table to Guo Peng, and asked Guo Peng to behead these five people for their credit, so as to ensure that no one in Jingzhou would dare to oppose Guo Peng.

Guo Peng thought it was funny when he saw this seal.

Their surrender meant that they did not dare to oppose Guo Peng, but these people asked Guo Peng to kill them.

What does that mean?

Use me as a knife?

Guo smiled coldly, ignored such a request, and decided to appoint this group of people as officials to show his tolerance and generosity.

He found that some people didn't seem to have gotten rid of the feeling of freedom under Liu Biao and Liu Cong.

They don't seem to realize that they have changed their lords, and they are no longer partners of Liu Biao and Liu Cong, the two weak representatives.

They are now the courtiers of Guo Peng, the emperor of the Wei Empire!

You are already my courtiers, recognize your identity and status and situation, and do not make transgressive actions!

I'm not Liu Biao, let alone Liu Cong!

Thunder and rain are all Jun'en!

Guo Peng was very interested in these people who surrendered but did not join the Wei state, and there were other uses for them.

Killing will not kill, but they want to come to Luoyang together, follow Liu Cong's family, and come to Luoyang to attend a banquet, Guo Peng can confirm what they should do.

Good tool man, don't use?

The best tool man to buy people's hearts, don't use it?

It's a shame.

So Guo announced the reward and appointment of the generals of Jingzhou.

At the same time, he also gave Liu Cong the title of Guiyi Marquis and Jiaozhou Assassin History, and Liu Cong's family came to Luoyang to be entitled, thanks.

After receiving Guo Peng's order, a large group of people immediately began to arrange to go to Luoyang.

And Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others finally let go of a hanging heart, feeling that Guo Peng is reasonable and obedient, and he is also quite respectful of them.

Because of this respect, they put their hearts at ease.

After Guo Jia described the Guo Wei regime's rule of "being single and not responsible" for its own people, those who stayed in Jingzhou were relieved to send some of their families to Luoyang in exchange for Guo Peng's trust and their own psychological stability.

Guo Peng is strong, they are weak, and now Guo Peng has to abide by the rules, of course they cooperate with Guo Peng to abide by the rules.

Order was soon re-established in Jingzhou, and the political situation was stabilized.

Kuai Yue began to govern Jingzhou according to Guo Peng's orders, and organized people to begin to count the population and the number of acres of land, and reported to Guo Peng.

Kuai Yue knew in his heart that this was a good thing for Guo Peng to the people of Jingzhou, let them do tricks, hide what they wanted a little, and then take out a relatively passable economic report to Guo Peng, and the two sides would share the cake.

You take it first, as long as it's not too much, I don't care, I just want the rest of you, I don't ask about the rest, everything is the same.

In this regard, the powerful clans in Jingzhou were also quite happy, so they took the initiative to cooperate with Kuai Yue, first started a decent population statistics and acres of land statistics in Jingbei, collected what they already had, and then took some of the things they looked at.

Of course, it can't be excessive, Kuai Yue reminded them, can't be excessive, just take some of it away, and leave the rest to the emperor, the emperor's face is very important, if you look ugly, I won't protect you.

The big families said that they would be modest, so they continued to happily share the spoils.

Le Jin, Guo Jia and others started in the army and began to initially reorganize the Jingzhou army.

The main principle is to weed out the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the infirm, and let them go home to farm, leaving behind strong and capable soldiers.

Then some of the Wei soldiers who had made military achievements were promoted to grass-roots officers, Wu Chang and Shi Chang, etc., to lead the Jingzhou soldiers to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations of the Wei army, and conduct training conducted by the Wei army, so as to establish obedience to Guo Peng and basic army order in the shortest possible time.

Toss the original Jingzhou Army, which was not organized at all in the eyes of Guo Jia and Le Jin, to at least reach the level of recruits of the Wei army, and then use them to march south and annex the four counties of Jingnan.

After Liu Biao's blow, the strength of the four counties of Jingnan was greatly weakened, and even the most troublesome Wulingman entered the low tide period, and it was very easy to occupy the four counties of Jingnan in the south at this time.

This is an opportunity not to be missed.

Although the four counties of Jingnan are not very prosperous, in Guo's opinion, they are still indispensable in his plan.
