After talking to Han Hao, it was Zhang Liao's turn.

"Wenyuan! You're going to keep me waiting! ”

The guards took Zhang Liao to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng smiled and shook Zhang Liao's hand.

Zhang Liao immediately took a few steps back and knelt down.

"The general of the defeated army, wearing the body of sin, dare not let the general be like this!"

Seeing Zhang Liao like this, Guo Peng shook his head and helped Zhang Liao up.

"That's true, but since you've surrendered to me, I won't treat you as an enemy, not to mention that back then, we were only close to working together, didn't we?"

Guo Peng's words made the civil and military around him very interested, and they really didn't know about this matter.

"By the way, you don't know."

Guo Peng looked at the interested eyes of the generals around him, and said with a smile: "Back then, it was the fourth year of Zhongping, I had just quelled the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and the imperial court promoted me to Shanggu Taishou, I wanted to organize my own team, so I sent people everywhere to seek talents."

At that time, someone told me that Yanmen Zhang Liao Wenyuan had a reputation for bravery, so I sent someone to find Wenyuan, and then the person sent came back, saying that Wenyuan had been found, but Wenyuan refused my call in order to take care of the old mother around him, I felt very sorry, but I couldn't force it. ”

Guo Peng took Zhang Liao's hand, let him sit beside him, and said with a look of regret: "If Wenyuan could follow me at the beginning, where would there be today?" ”

The civil and military officials didn't know that Guo Peng and Zhang Liao still had this past, and they ridiculed Zhang Liao in their hearts for not knowing the goods.

didn't follow Guo Peng, but actually followed people like Lu Bu, and now became the general of the defeated army, is it the ending he wants?

"At that time, Liao couldn't have imagined that there would be today."

Zhang Liaocheng said with trepidation: "If you can think of today, Liao will not choose to be the enemy of the general no matter what." ”

"Hahahaha."

Guo Peng shook his head: "I heard Yide and Yuan Hei say, you don't want to attack the city, you just meet with Yide for several days to decide the winner outside the city, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It is true."

Zhang Liao nodded: "Because Liao thinks that what General Lu did was wrong, Liao can't convince himself to go all out and help General Lu do the wrong thing." ”

"If Lu Fengxian can have Wenyuan's insight, he will not end up in a different place."

Guo Peng shook his head, sighed, stroked Zhang Liao's back and said to him: "Although it is six years late, in the end, you and I still have fate, so Wen Yuan, this time you descend to me, and I will not treat you as a general."

I heard that you had received the position of Taishou in Chang'an before, which was 2,000 stones, so this time I want to show you as Chen Liu's Taishou and govern Chenliu County for me, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Chinese warriors were surprised.

A general, who has just come to Guo Peng's camp, can be awarded the position of 2,000 Shi Taishou?

Not only was Chinese Wu surprised, but even Zhang Liao himself felt incredible and hurriedly excused himself.

"The new general of the defeated army, dare not take on this heavy responsibility, please take back your life!"

Zhang Liao knelt on the ground and asked Guo Peng to take back his fate.

The subordinates and martial artists spoke one after another, persuading Guo Peng to think twice.

Guo Peng looked at Zhang Liao for a while, looked around at the surrounding civil and military personnel, and nodded slowly.

"In that case, I will grant you the position of Captain Guiyi and serve as the garrison of the East County!"

Then, Guo Peng looked at Cao Ren: "Zixiao, you hand over the position and army to Wenyuan, and I will watch you stay for Chen." ”

Zhang Liao can't do it, and if he is Cao Ren, it will be easy to be accepted by the big guys.

Cao Ren is a member of Guo Peng's family, and has followed Guo Peng to fight for several years, and is the oldest group of veterans.

It's like Xiahoudun being the prime minister of Lu Guo.

As for Cao Ren's governance ability, Guo Peng doesn't care very much, anyway, he will give Cao Ren a complete administrative team.

If you are not in this environment, you will not be able to deeply understand what it means to be loyal.

In an era when rebellion and betrayal were commonplace, only loyalty was the most valued, so Xiahou Yuan's military talent was not very outstanding, but he would still be entrusted with important tasks by Guo Peng to defend one side.

Zhang Liao took over Cao Ren's position and was arranged by Guo Peng as the captain of the Dongjun garrison, leading the army under the command of Cao Ren to defend the Dongjun, and assisting Cao Cao, the Taishou of the Dongjun, to build the Dongjun as an advance base for attacking Yuan Shao.

However, Rao is like this, and there are still voices of opposition and doubt.

It's not to blame them, before that, the counties that set up local garrison captains were all held by the generals of the Cao family, the Xiahou clan and the Guo family, who held this important position.

The generals of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan were regarded as Guo Peng's family generals, people who were absolutely close to him, and were awarded important positions.

Guo Peng transferred most of the power of the county guards to the garrison captains in his own jurisdiction, and the only troops that the county guards could command were a small number of county soldiers and the strong men who were temporarily recruited and expanded in emergency wartime.

The command and command of the regular army rested with the garrison captains.

Although the garrison captain is not as powerful as the county guard, the county captain cannot command the garrison captain either.

Therefore, the garrison lieutenant camp is the only place with a regular army outside the barracks set up by Guo Peng, and it has always been a trusted general of the Cao family, Xiahou and Guo Peng's own family.

For example, Cao Hong served as the garrison of the Plains State, Xiahou Yuan served as the garrison of Donglai County, Cao Ren served as the garrison of the East County before, and Guo Lie, who was born as Guo Peng's personal general, served as the garrison of the Lu State and so on.

In addition, generals with foreign surnames have not directly commanded troops to garrison places.

But for now, Guo Peng seems intent on making a change.

He asked Zhang Liao, who had just surrendered, to be the garrison of Dongjun and led his troops to guard Yuan Shao.

Then he ordered Guan Yu to be the garrison of Chenliu, and led the newly set up garrison camp in Chenliu County, with a garrison of 3,000 troops.

At once, two captains with foreign surnames were put on guard and directly commanded the army, one of whom was a surrendered general.

This change must be said to be insignificant, at least it is tantamount to declaring that the arrival of the future garrison captain will not be limited to the relatives of the Cao clan, the Xiahou clan and the Guo clan.

Although now on the bright side, Guo Peng's military power in various places is basically in the hands of the relatives and generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan.

Of course, they do have the ability to lead these 3,000-strong garrison troops to serve as garrison duties.

Regarding the inexplicable worries and excitement of others, Guo said that there was no fluctuation in his heart at all.

Because even if he had a part of the army garrisoned in various places, he still did not worry about his absolute control over the army.

Not to mention the officers at the grassroots level, let's just say that his semi-annual rotation system of the garrison can also ensure that the army is under his control.

When Guo Peng was concerned about the actual needs of local preparedness, he also set up a rotation system, ostensibly claiming that it was a bowl of water, and that he wanted to give all soldiers the same opportunity to guard the state border, but in fact, it was to ensure his control over the army to the greatest extent.

Many times when it comes to political and military decision-making, decision-makers are faced with a dilemma.

How to find the most appropriate balance point is to compare the level of decision-makers.

Loyalty is not innate, it is cultivated, as long as the rules are in place, you can't be disloyal.

If you want to be the opposite, you have to have conditions, right?

Guo asked himself that his means were not inferior, and they were all generous and generous, and the rules and regulations that had been determined from the very beginning, and those who had followed him since very early on had become accustomed to his own style.

For those who came to take refuge, this was equivalent to change, but for the old subordinates, it was the daily life.

So Guan Yu didn't think it was strange, Cao Ren didn't think it was strange, that is, Zhang Liao felt a little strange.

Especially when he knew that he and Guan Yu were the only two generals with foreign surnames, he was even more surprised.

Then he took the initiative to ask for his family to live in Lu County, and asked Guo Peng to take care of it.

Guo Peng smiled and nodded, feeling that Zhang Liao was still quite promising.

In addition, Guan Yu is also very promising, and when he learned that he would be appointed as Chen's remaining garrison, in addition to his wife and youngest son Guan Xing staying in Lu County, he also took the initiative to ask Guo Peng to transfer his eldest son Guan Ping from his side.

Guo Peng was very satisfied with Guan Yu's consciousness, so he sent Guan Ping to serve in the army of Guo Lie in the garrison of Lu State.

These things are not important, they are already routine, and everyone is the same.

The relatives and generals also have to set an example, and they will not get extra preferential treatment just because they are relatives, the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Guo family also live in Lu County, Guo Peng wants to show everyone his attitude of being a bowl of water.

So it doesn't matter.

At least compared to what Guo Peng is going to do next, it is quite unimportant.

In short, it was Han Hao who made a suggestion to Guo Peng and suggested that Guo Peng take Hanoi County.
