What Guo Peng said was quite impactful to Cheng Li.

"This ......"

Cheng Li obviously couldn't figure it out.

"Zhongde, I, and Yuan Shu have a good relationship, the outside world thinks that I am Yuan Shu's cronies, Dong Zhuo is the former official of the Yuan family, and now He Jin, the general of the court, and Yuan Kui, the Taifu of the central government, are in charge of the government together, do you say that Dong Zhuo is more likely to listen to Yuan Kui, or is it more likely to listen to He Jin?"

Cheng Li hesitated for a moment.

"Yuan Kui is Dong Zhuo's master, and Dong Zhuo should obey Yuan Kui's orders."

"Everybody knows."

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "I listen to Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo listens to Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo and I are both Yuan's arm's helpers, only Ding Yuan is He Jin's arm's help, so, after the eunuch is destroyed, is He Jin's power relatively large, or Yuan's power is relatively large?" ”

"Naturally, it's Yuan."

Speaking of this, Cheng Li finally understood: "I see, the Yuan clan wants to exterminate the eunuchs and find foreign soldiers to enter Luoyang, in order to seize control of the government, and even override the generals?" ”

Guo Peng nodded.

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and officials are all over the world, what they want to do, there is nothing that can't be done, the status of the general is high, but the background is too low, how can they serve the public?

Now the Yuan clan just doesn't want to cause turmoil in his own name, so he uses the name of the general, with the general as the mainstay, once the matter is done, the general can compete with the Yuan clan? ”

Cheng Li nodded.

"I see, then in this way, isn't it very dangerous to be in Luoyang? Lord, are you going? ”

"Of course you want to go, why not? Not only to go, but also to speed up and get there, the sooner the better. ”

"The lord wants ......"

"I have a hunch that the turmoil that will occur in Luoyang this time is not simple, it is a matter of the overall situation, we have to leave Shanggu as soon as possible, this is not a place to stay for a long time."

Cheng Li was even more surprised.

"Will there soon be greater unrest?"

Cheng Li knew that Guo Peng had begun to transport a lot of things and craftsmen produced by Shanggu County to Qian County, but he felt that this was just a normal behavior and just a good deal.

Including ordnance, food, war horses, etc., they are all to be sold, and the craftsmen are to enrich the strength of Guo's manor, which is Guo Peng's own selfishness.

Cheng Li didn't expect that this was Guo Peng's preparation for future turmoil.

"I don't know, I just have this feeling, it is definitely not a good thing for foreign soldiers who have been guarding the frontier since ancient times to enter the Beijing Division."

Guo Peng shook his head: "This army can't all be taken away, otherwise it will be exposed, we will take away three thousand, and the remaining two thousand will be disguised and go to the manor in Qiaoxian County in batches to hide, in case of emergency." ”

Cheng Li forcibly calmed himself down and received Guo Peng's order.

Subsequently, Guo Peng convened an enlarged meeting of the civil and military forces under his command and informed the civil and military officers under his command of this matter.

"This is the case, although the imperial edict has not yet come, but I have decided to take the troops to Luoyang to destroy the eunuchs, and after the matter is completed, the harvest will not be small.

If you are willing to go south with me, you can go south with me, I will not treat you badly, and if you don't want to go south with me, you can leave by yourself, work together, and the friendship will always be remembered in your heart. ”

Guo Peng wants to make a choice for the civil and military forces under his command.

He will not continue to stay in Shanggu, after participating in the grand event of exterminating the eunuchs, he will definitely get a higher status and a higher official position, when the time comes, what will a Shanggu County be worth?

Guo Peng's words are not mainly for the generals, they are already Guo Peng's private generals.

The relatives of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, as well as the two generals who joined later, Zhang Fei, had no objection to following Guo Peng.

So they all showed excited expressions on their faces, feeling that Guo Peng's status would increase, and his status would also increase, including Zang Hong.

Guo Peng's words were addressed to the ministers under his command, Gu Yong, Zao Yi, Guo Rui, and Mi Zhu, who happened to arrive in Shanggu County.

Mi Zhu did not hesitate, he had already bet his treasure on Guo Peng, and as Guo Peng's status improved, he believed that he would get more things.

Although the horse trade is not as easy as it used to be.

So Mi Zhu decided to continue to follow Guo Peng without hesitation.

"Where Ming Gong is, where Zhu goes."

Gu Yong felt that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to move from the local to the central, which was originally his expectation for Guo Peng.

He will not always stay in this bitter cold place, after the experience, he feels that he has grown up and can follow Guo Peng to a higher stage.

"Yong is willing to go with Ming Gong, go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!"

Although Zao Yi is a little reluctant to the unfinished business of Shanggu County, Guo Peng's status has improved, and he may be in charge of more places in the future, and he will also take him to a higher level of government, so he can do more.

At such a time, it is impossible for him to make a big decision because of a small mistake.

So Zao only expressed his position.

"I just want to listen to the arrangement of Ming Gong."

Guo Rui won't talk about it, Guo Peng's family, where Guo Peng is, he is there, and everyone in the family says so.

Guo Peng didn't recruit any talents in Youzhou in the end, and he didn't have any nostalgia for leaving here, the only pity was that he couldn't get enough horses so smoothly in the future.

Objectively speaking, the heritage of Youzhou and the heritage of the Central Plains of Hebei are really too different.

Even putting all this aside, in the era of paying attention to family origin, a hundred Guo Peng can't catch up with one Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and no simple route exists.

This is not a game, everything that can be solved to conquer a city belongs to the protagonist of the game.

No, there are people in the city, people, is everything.

Fame, official position, origin, place of origin, etc., etc.

There are too many limiting factors.

Fortunately, when the central Han government was unified, the central edict was the name of righteousness, and the local resistance was not so strong.

When the central government is in turmoil, and the localities are doing their own things and making their own living, are people from the same region more reliable, or outsiders across the big rivers or Xiongguan are more reliable?

Henan, Hebei, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Kanto, Kansai, Dongzhou, Yizhou, all major regions can draw a standard out, everyone within the standard may fight openly and secretly, but what is outside the standard is unity and the muzzle is outward.

Looking at the development routes of the major warlords, it is not difficult to find signs of rampant local protectionism.

A fight between the local Shi clan in Hebei under Yuan Shao and the Shi clan in Yingchuan, Henan.

The contradiction between the Jiangnan Danyang Group under Tao Qian and the local scholar group in Xuzhou, Jiangbei.

The contradiction between the Dongzhou group under Liu Yan and the local scholar group in Yizhou.

All these contradictions have had a great negative impact on the major forces.

The battle between Guo Tufeng and Tian Feng and others under Yuan Shao directly affected Yuan Shao's strategic decision-making.

Liu Bei doesn't have any concept of basic plate at all, he can't stay in the plains, he can't hold Xuzhou, he can't stay in Runan, let alone Xinye.

Even after occupying Yizhou, the contradictions between the Dongzhou people and the Yizhou people that continued from the Liu Yan era ran through the entire history of the Shu Han regime, from the beginning to the end, the tossed Shu Han regime could not end well.

If a foreign ruler wants to gain a foothold in the local area, he must have his own reliable basic strength, otherwise he will not be able to compete with the huge and deep-rooted local power.

And such a confrontation will inevitably bring contradictions and disputes, triggering internal struggles, the ruler is shrewd, once the ruler makes a mistake, it is not easy to say.

Compared to them, Yuan Shu took the basic route, and there were few internal struggles, mainly because others were more innocent and cute, so he was defeated.

The Sun Wu regime was born in Wu County and was considered a native of Jiangdong, so it was able to maintain its rule under huge external pressure, and Cao Cao had no way to take them.

Cao Cao also took the basic route, he chose Chenliujun, a place not far from his hometown, to make a fortune, and developed well under the protection of Yuan Shao and the support of his friends.

And his most dangerous enemy in the early stage, Lu Bu, was instead an outsider from Bingzhou, and the basic market was dominated by Bingzhou and Liangzhou people.

At the insistence of his subordinate Wenwu, Cao Cao drove away the outsiders in the end.

Guo Peng thought carefully about these questions.

He personally experienced the importance that people in the late Han Dynasty attached to their region of origin and their behavior of holding each other together based on their place of origin.

His background is not as good as Yuan Shao, his identity is not as good as Liu Yan, his preparation time and official qualifications are not as good as Tao Qian's, and he is deficient in all aspects, so it is better not to step on thunder.

That's why Guo Peng determined his basic line.

Can't be Jiangnan, can't be Hebei, can't be Kansai, can't be Yizhou.

You can only find a reliable place to make a fortune in the Central Plains.

Now that everything is ready, there is an east wind, Guo Peng wants to rush to Luoyang in person, face the blowing east wind, spread his wings and soar.
