recruited Zhao Yun into his army, Guo Peng was in a good mood, took Zhao Yun all the way to the army, and asked him about relevant things along the way.

For example, the family situation, how to come to Youzhou, how to think of coming to join his army and so on.

According to Zhao Yun, his family is relatively solid, with more than 80 acres of land, his parents died early, and there are only two people in the family, he and his brother.

The Zhao family has ancestors who fought in the army, and by chance learned some marksmanship and knife skills, which have been passed down, so the two brothers of the Zhao family have been practicing martial arts together since childhood, and his martial arts are better than those of his elder brother, so he has a greater reputation in the township, and he also made a small leader when he joined the rebel army.

"Then you can read, can you have a table of words?"

Guo Peng saw Zhao Yun bunching up his adult hair ornament and knew that he had been crowned an adult.

"Yun and his brother are both villains, and it is not easy to eat a full stomach, where is the opportunity to learn from a teacher to read and write?"

Zhao Yun smiled wryly: "Table words are not something that villains like me can have." ”

As soon as Guo Peng heard this, he remembered that Liu Bei taught Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to read and write, and gave them table characters, so he guessed that Zhao Yun's table characters might also be given by Liu Bei.

Literacy in this era is really a privilege, a privilege that modern people can't imagine, and at that time literacy was really unthinkable for civilian origins.

Many famous generals have very low backgrounds, and it is only because they met in the troubled times that they got the rank of advancement, and then they had the opportunity to contact books and literacy.

Modern education is popular, and high-quality educational resources can be bought with money.

Before the imperial examination era, literature was a privilege and a nobleman, and money could not buy it.

"I'll teach you how to read!"

Guo Peng turned around and looked at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

"The general is saying that he wants to teach the villain to read?"

"Of course, you may not know, my soldiers are all literate, I will choose the best strong men in the army to enter the guard battalion, and the soldiers in the guard battalion can be literate."

Guo Peng smiled and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "If you enter my personal guard camp, of course I will teach you to read." ”

"This ......"

Zhao Yun's expression was a little confused: "Literacy is such a thing, I am a villain...... Also...... Can you also be literate? ”

"Why do you need to despise yourself and call yourself a villain?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "You have bravery, and you are not even inferior to me in martial arts, but you are illiterate, after all, you are only the courage of a horseman, and ten enemies are already the limit, if you are literate and read, you can become ten thousand enemies, you are a general, and you are a commander." ”

Zhao Yun couldn't imagine such a future at all, and only felt extremely shocked and happy that he could be literate.

"Thank you, General! Villain...... Yun must work hard to repay the general's favor! ”

Zhao Yun now only feels that he has come to join Guo Peng is the most correct choice he has ever made in his life.

"Hahahaha, you have to do what you say, you can't let me down!"

Guo Peng smiled and continued to walk forward with Zhao Yun: "By the way, why did you come to join the army?" Where did you hear from that? ”

"The whole area of my hometown has been spread, all of them are preaching the general's bravery and fairness and wisdom, the general killed the leader of Xianbei, I respect the general very much, many fellow villagers have said that they want to come to the general, Yun is in a hurry to set off, and then there must be other fellow villagers who want to come to the general."

Guo Peng nodded, understanding the opportunity for Zhao Yun to come to his own place.

Guo Peng is already familiar with this kind of thing of spreading his reputation, and he has done it like this in his hometown.

In Luoyang, he even refined this skill, and when it came to this skill, the sect member was far inferior to himself.

He can spread the prestige of a victory to Sanzhou and even beyond, attract a large number of strong men to take refuge in establishing military merits, and maybe attract more famous people like Zhao Yun to come.

However, in order to attract the real elite of the powerful landlords, including top talents such as literati and strategists, opportunities and strength are needed.

The opportunity is like meeting a person like Cheng Li, who is slightly cold and unwilling, and follows him because of his kindness.

Other wealthy scholars with status, status, and family resources are not recruited by a little fame.

They are aiming at the central position, ruling the world, and leading the national policy, and they can't look down on themselves as a mere captain.

Unless the world is in turmoil, the real talents are running to the center to the emperor and realize their ideals in the world, who will follow a frontier military leader?

Guo Peng's own fame and military exploits can attract some people to come, but more talents are definitely running to Luoyang instead of going to the frontier.

Almost all of the famous literati and strategists are from high families, and there is no shortage of steps to enter the body, so why do they come to the frontier to wade into troubled waters at this time?

The Han court has not completely lost its authority, and there is no great chaos in the world, so it is basically impossible to recruit these children of the scholar clan to serve in the frontier army.

Fortunately, Guo Peng has opened skills such as 'clairvoyance', and he can find talents from people with a slight identity and promote them to his side to form his own preliminary team.

After the power is large enough, in troubled times, it is possible to recruit suitable literati and strategists around the occupied base area.

Many literati and strategists also attached great importance to geographical factors, and the warlords who occupied their hometowns were their primary targets, because they could ensure the interests of their families to the greatest extent, and those who were far away from their hometowns were survival strategies or helpless moves.

Guo Peng didn't think that he could recruit top advisors of the Yingchuan system like Xun Yu and Xun Yu now, and it would be okay to have the opportunity to make friends and drink a drink.

There is a Cheng Li from a poor background to help, Guo Peng is really lucky.

Although Liu Bei has obtained fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he has always lacked a master planner with strategic vision, so he has been without a fixed place for a long time, and it was not until he got the effectiveness of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang that he changed.

Development requires a long-term plan, and Guo Peng and Cheng Li agreed on a long-term development plan.

Combined with the actual development of the army force, become an indispensable and important national defense force of the Han Empire, use the interpersonal relations in Luoyang, strive to be stationed in the north for a long time, with the help of geographical advantages to develop themselves.

Guo Peng will not tell Cheng Li that there will be drastic changes in the world in a few years, because what will happen after that, he himself does not know.

During this period, the base area was not a choice for oneself, and the imperial court could transfer itself to another place at any time.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, anyway, the goal of every place he goes to is definitely not to develop the local area, not to make the local government harmonious, but to squeeze the local economic potential and war potential to the greatest extent.

What he has to do is to do everything he can to use his power for personal gain, to maximize his cunning and recklessness, to gain benefits from it to enrich his military strength, and then he will not feel distressed at all if he pats his ass and leaves.

Now what can really be used as a base is Peiguo, Qiaoxian, and Guo's Manor.
