Guo Peng expressed great interest in Li Dian's approach, so he asked him about the purpose of doing so.

Li Dian replied that he thought that this would allow him to simulate the situation on the battlefield infinitely.

"Our army fights, mainly in the military formation, whether it is a siege or a field battle, the military formation is the primary, the military formation is headed by the outer shield, no shield is not a military formation, then the shield soldiers must be tenacious.

The minister thought that no matter what the situation, the shield soldiers could not panic, the shield was broken, the formation was broken, the formation was broken, the army died, and the place of death and life must not be ignored, so the minister strictly asked the shield soldiers. ”

Guo Peng deeply praised him, praised and rewarded Li Dian, and thought that his approach was worthy of praise.

Then he ordered to spread Li Dian's ideas to the whole army, so that the whole army paid attention to the training of shield soldiers.

Shoot with arrows without arrows, have spearmen besiege with sticks, and set a time limit to train the shield soldiers' defensive and stress resistance to increase their survival rate on the battlefield.

Guo Peng admires Li Dian's caution and whimsy very much, and he also takes a fancy to him.

To say that the only thing that is a little dissatisfied is probably that Li Dian acted too cautiously.

In the face of military merits, it is a kind of morality and a kind of cultivation, but it is not good if you are too uncontentious and do not grab, so that what belongs to you will be taken away by others.

This will not only not play a good role, but will also alienate the soldiers under his subordinates.

And some people will think that Li Dian has a noble character and respects him, but some people will think that Li Dian is easy to bully, so they will bully him.

Guo Peng told him more than once not to be too cautious, lest anyone think he was a bully, but Li Dian still didn't change his attitude.

Guo Peng even felt that Li Dian was becoming more and more Buddhist.

Even if you're surrounded by relatives and generals, you can't fight at all, right?

"Man Cheng, it's not the first time I've told you this, your advantage is modest and cautious, your disadvantage is too modest and cautious, in the army, there are many people who can earn and rob, you don't need to compete with them, but what belongs to you, you can't let go."

Guo Peng came to the barracks to inspect Yitong, and he did not have any dissatisfaction with Li Dian's management of the army, but he was still dissatisfied with Li Dian himself.

Before setting out for the battle, Guo Peng wanted to explain this part of the problem to Li Dian, so as not to be bullied by others on the grassland battlefield and not know how to resist.

Competing for military merit, his colleagues are all good players.

In this regard, Li Dian seems to be very open-minded.

"As long as Your Majesty knows that the minister has made war exploits, it is enough, and the minister knows that I will be rewarded for my meritorious service, so why should I fight to cause unnecessary disputes? That shouldn't be something Your Majesty wants to see. ”

That's really not something I want to see.

I'm worried you're being bullied to death by those bastards.

Guo Peng was angry, but he couldn't do anything about Li Dian.

is still the same sentence, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Just take a little care.

Li Dian is not stupid.

It took several days to inspect the barracks of the various battalions of the Guards, the daily life and training of the troops, to see their food conditions, training conditions, sanitary conditions, etc.

Then Guo Peng summoned the officials of the Ministry of War to have a meeting with Zhao Yun, and asked the Ministry of War to directly connect with Zhao Yun.

For the materials needed for training and preparation, Zhao Yun directly discussed with the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War provided them as appropriate, and for this reason, the Ministry of War needed to assign some officials to be responsible for the supply of the Luoyang garrison.

And this is also a relatively large burden on the military department.

Even the cabinet officials and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance have been sent to Hebei to help, and the officials of the Ministry of War are also lacking in skills.

Major corruption cases have broken out one after another in Hebei officialdom, involving state officials, county officials, county officials, and grassroots officials below the county level and their families, affecting a wide range of people and involving many people.

A batch was found out before, and as the investigation deepened, another group of people were found out, Jizhou was the most, Youzhou was the second, and Bingzhou was the least, but there were all kinds of officials, and there were also six or seven hundred officials involved.

The rest of the people, including their clansmen, family members, friends, and some stolen goods merchants, involved no less than 3,000 people.

Some of these people were beheaded, some were exiled to Pingzhou or Liangzhou, and none of them ended well anyway.

The officials of the three divisions were also busy enough.

This wave is not only involving local officials, but also some central officials, although there is no direct violation of the law and corruption, but some are clansmen, some are relatives, and they are involved and punished.

Of course, this time there were far fewer central officials who committed the crime.

Luoyang is a power field, and everyone cares more about power than money.

Only those who have a limited future and are no longer very enthusiastic about power are more concerned about money, and want to make as much money as possible with limited power.

And the officials who have their eyes on the power are not very willing to get involved in this matter.

They are detached from low-level interests, only love and pursue power, not interested in others, and more strictly restrain their families and clansmen, so they have not been involved in the anti-corruption campaign.

This wave was not intended to target central officials.

Guo Peng's original purpose was to crack down on enemy corruption, clean up a group of corrupt officials, and put the rear in order before the war, so as to avoid problems during the war.

Chop off a wave of heads, and let the rest of the people brace themselves and work hard to prepare logistics.

At present, more than 370 officials have been swept out of Hebei and 257 officials have been swept away in the two prefectures of Yongliang, and more than 600 officials have been arrested in these five prefectures combined.

It is conceivable how unclean these people have been since Guo Peng established the Principality of Wei in Jizhou.

At that time, Guo Peng had no time to take care of the problems of Gu officials, and for some things that occurred at the grassroots level, he generally picked typical examples and suppressed them, put a certain amount of pressure on officials, and did not fight corruption on a large scale.

So much so that these people have been doing it secretly in the local area for more than ten years.

Finally, in this net collection operation, these people were caught by Guo Peng and arrested.

Some officials feel that Guo Peng has purged too many officials in this wave, and most of the punishments are beheadings, which will inevitably kill too many people, which will hurt the harmony of the monarch and ministers, and may not be conducive to national governance.

Moreover, new officials still need to be selected, and it will take time for the upper level to govern the locality, and if too many officials are punished in one go, it will cause chaos in the locality.

So they suggested that Guo Peng reduce some punishment and not kill officials so cruelly.

After Guo Peng received the recital, he was furious.

"Embezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars! Treat the state money as their own! Am I cruel to them? How innocent the people are! ”

In a fit of rage, Guo Peng dismissed all the dozen or so officials who had been admonished by the above table, drove them back to their hometowns, and strictly ordered them not to be used again for ten years as a punishment.

Then the judicial officials of the three prefectures of Hebei were strictly ordered to supervise and behead corrupt ministers, and never let anyone go.

As a result, at the end of the twelfth month of the fourth year of Yande, the heads of more than 370 officials in the three prefectures of Hebei fell to the ground one after another, and thousands of people, including their families, friends, and familiar merchants who were involved in the incident, were also raided and exiled in batches.

Or go to Liangzhou, or go to Pingzhou, or go to Jingnan and southern Yangzhou.

The valuation of the property obtained by these people is nearly 200 million yuan, which is not at all the money that can be obtained through normal channels.

After this wave of large-scale arrests and beheadings, officials of the Third Division reported that many local people ran to congratulate each other, which shows that this group of people has not only manipulated the country's finances for many years, but also the local Li Shu has not been less oppressed.

Further investigation revealed that even in tax matters, these people intervened.

The Central Ministry of Finance is ignorant of the population and tax meddling in some places, modifying data, etc., and has not even discovered the oppression of big data.

This point really touched the backlash of Guo someone, so no matter what, Guo must kill this group of people and make an example of them, and must not let people do anything to the local systems of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War.

The erosion of the local system of the Central Military Department and the Ministry of Finance has violated the fundamental interests of Guo Mou, and Guo Mou will not tolerate this.

The central government offices were solemn, and the Hebei officialdom was solemn.

By the time the news spread across the country, it was already the end of the first month of the fifth year of Yande.
