In mid-November, Cao Cao arrived in Qingzhou and then Linzi.

Soon, Cao Cao met Guo Peng, who was planning to attack Le'an Kingdom and expel the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Le'an Kingdom.

"What? Dong Zhuo actually became Xiangguo? ”

When Guo Peng heard Cao Cao say this, he pretended to be surprised, but he was quite interested in his heart, and asked Cao Cao for the specific experience, and Cao Cao told Guo Peng what he had seen and heard as an outsider.

Guo Peng sorted out the whole thing, and generally understood how Yuan Kui operated as fierce as a tiger, and then threw himself into the ditch.

Thinking that he can control everything, thinking that he can play with everyone in the world and become a high-ranking chess player, this face of a long-standing nobleman is really ugly to the extreme.

Deserve.

"It seems that the Luoyang Imperial Court has been mastered by Dong Zhuo right now, then big brother, do you have any plans?"

"What can I do? I was forced to be helpless, just fleeing, I don't know the situation in Luoyang at the moment, I can only wait and see the situation for the time being, Zifeng, I'm here to take refuge in you. ”

Cao Cao sighed and smiled helplessly: "You said at the beginning, if you made a history of assassination, you would ask me to come to you, and now that I am here, how are you going to arrange for me?" ”

Guo Peng was overjoyed and shook Cao Cao's hand.

"I still keep the position of Jinan Prime Minister for my eldest brother, eldest brother, have you forgotten what you didn't do at the beginning?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"I dare not forget my original ambition."

Guo Peng was very happy, and immediately played Cao Cao as the prime minister of Jinan.

Next, Guo Peng talked to him about the current situation in Qingzhou, as well as his next plans, as well as the decision-making of Tuntian in the counties that can be controlled at present.

"This is indeed a good way to gather the displaced people, that is, at the moment when the situation is chaotic, many landowners have fled to other places, and the land has become terra nullius, so they have to use these lands to take in refugees, organize them to cultivate their fields, and then the government will collect grain and accept it for public use?"

Cao Cao asked, and Guo Peng nodded decisively.

"That's right, eldest brother, at present, I have comprehensively promoted the Tuntian policy in Qi State, Jinan Country and Pingyuan County are pushing it forward, I need you to comprehensively organize Tuntian for me in Jinan Country, so that when the spring is open and the land can be cultivated, the situation in Qingzhou will be more stable."

Cao Cao nodded happily.

"Don't worry, Zifeng, leave this kind of thing to me."

Guo Peng stroked Cao Cao's back and walked side by side with him, and asked: "I know that it has always been my long-cherished wish to be able to do something for Li Shu in the world, and now hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan are waiting for my eldest brother to help them, eldest brother, everything is entrusted to you." ”

Cao Cao smiled, held Guo Peng's hand tightly, and said: "We are a family, I will definitely work hard to do what you entrust me, if I can't do it, you can punish me for my crimes." ”

Shao leaned, Cao Cao told Guo Peng about his worries again.

"Before I left Luoyang, I heard that many people in Luoyang criticized Dong Zhuo in private, and I also heard that some people conspired to depose Dong Zhuo and return to the power of Taifu Yuan Kui.

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes.

"No matter how chaotic the situation in Luoyang is, that is, chaotic Luoyang, we just have to govern Qingzhou well and exterminate the Yellow Turban, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not be chaotic in Qingzhou."

"Yes."

Cao Cao nodded.

After a short time, Cao Cao met the people under Guo Peng's command under Guo Peng's introduction, and then Cao Cao was anxious to go to Jinan to take office and wanted to make achievements, so Guo Peng arranged an administrative team for Cao Cao.

Guo Peng said that this was a team with administrative experience trained in Shanggu County, ensuring that Cao Cao could start governing as soon as he arrived in Jinan.

Cao Cao was very happy, and said something like 'If Jinan is not well governed now, it is time to ask you for the guilt', Guo Peng just laughed, and then watched Cao Cao go to Jinan.

After that, Guo Peng began to arrange for Guan Yu's troops and Zhang Fei's troops to enter Le'an Country to build an advance base and spy on the specific movements of the Yellow Turban Army.

During this time, Guo Peng recruited troops in Jinan and Pingyuan County of Qi State, selected tall people from the displaced people to join the army, recruited thousands of recruits, replenished the army to 30,000, and then vigorously trained and prepared for war.

In order to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Peng can recruit troops and prepare for war in a bright way, and no one knows that Guo Peng is also preparing for war to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

In fact, people in the world do not know that a violent turmoil is coming, and Guo Peng is not sure when this turmoil will begin.

It wasn't until late November, close to December, that Guo Peng received an edict from the imperial court.

Because Guo Peng broke the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and made military achievements, the imperial court appointed Guo Peng as the pastor of Qingzhou, strengthened his power, and asked Guo Peng to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible.

It was also specially written that it was Xiangguo Dong Zhuo who asked the emperor to appoint Guo Peng as the pastor of Qingzhou.

Dong Zhuo looked like he really wanted Guo Peng to thank him.

In fact, Guo Peng really wants to thank Dong Zhuo fiercely in his heart.

To be honest, Guo Peng didn't expect Dong Zhuo to do this, and threw a big gift to him.

He also thought that he wanted to learn from Liu Biao, and when Li Yu and Guo Yan rebelled, he would send an envoy to the imperial court to worship, and then the two brainless leading court leaders of Li Yu and Guo Yan would change the assassination history to the state pastor, and justifiably divide the party.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo gave himself the power of the justifiable secession party at this time, especially in this stall where he was about to be considered a thief.

Is there such a good thing?

Could it be that luck is really concentrated in me?

The sinister, cunning, and ambitious Guo is so happy that he almost wants to play a trick, and Thomas spins it all.

Does Dong Zhuo know what it means to be a state pastor?

It was at this juncture that he was appointed as the state chaplain.

It means that from now on, he can reject all edicts from the imperial court that are unfavorable to him.

What was favorable to him, he recognized as the emperor's edict.

If it is unfavorable to him, he can directly say "Han thief Dong Zhuo" or "Han thief Li Yu Guo Yan" can be completely rejected, and he doesn't have to pay attention to it at all.

Then the county guards and county orders in various places can also be directly recalled and appointed, directly forming a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the military, political and financial power is in their hands, and they can do what they want without going through the process of the imperial court.

When the officials and generals under Guo Peng's command learned that the imperial court had appointed Guo Peng as the pastor of Qingzhou, they were not much surprised, but simply congratulated.

Because they don't know that from now on their status and political interests will be guaranteed to the highest extent.

They don't know that the world is about to be in chaos, the emperor is about to become an ornament, and Guo Peng will become their de facto emperor, they feel that this is to enhance the power, and when the crusade against the Yellow Turban is over, what should they do.

The power of the state pastor is too great, and the imperial court must not be at ease, and Guo Peng will be monitored at that time, and their life will become difficult.

So there are even some people who are worried in private.

They will soon learn that they have made a mistake.
