The opposition forces in Xuzhou combined, worked together, and paid a great price together to overthrow Tao Qian.

Now Guo Peng is here, but Chen Deng, the representative who could protect their interests before, has died, and Guo Peng has also lost Mi Fang, which has a lot of uncertainty.

They need a little bit of security, they need a little bit of security.

Guo Peng is here to provide them with a sense of security and security.

He wants to put on a posture, a tolerant and generous attitude that does not pursue the past and everyone looks forward and moves forward.

So he invited the surviving soldiers and the Haoqiang family who participated in the operation to Tanxian County and negotiate with them.

At the same time, he sent troops to various counties and towns to stabilize order and establish his actual dominance, and then sent people to investigate the current situation in Xuzhou, so as to count the land that could be controlled a little bit, and get all the ownerless land.

The hermits who were unintentionally liberated, as well as the few yeoman farmers, quickly counted and registered, resulting in established facts, and did not settle the truth and did not suffer losses.

If you want me to be the umbrella of Xuzhou, you will have to pay a little price, right?

The prestige Guo will never do a loss-making business.

The chaos in Xuzhou lasted for a while, and many bandits and bandits appeared in the areas ravaged by the Danyang group, which were suppressed and appeased by Guo Peng.

In mid-October, when the military crackdown was still going on and all parts of Xuzhou were entering the military management situation and beginning to restore stability, the representatives of the soldiers and the powerful basically came to Tan County.

Because they knew that the Chen clan no longer existed and could not fight for their interests, they had to rush to Tanxian in person to participate in this new division of interests after the war, and do their best to fight for their own interests, and not to fall behind, so as not to suffer losses.

This great unrest not only caused a large number of casualties, but also created a power vacuum, and there was no room for carelessness in these people in order to preserve their interests and even obtain more benefits.

What's more, they are about to face the largest warlord in the world, the only monarch who is a feudal state that is recognized by the people of the world.

Wei Gong, Guo Peng.

At that time, most of the people who came to Xuzhou here knew each other, greeted each other, made friendships, exchanged losses in the turmoil, and their respective expectations.

The content of their exchanges is related to interests, and a few people are more concerned about the future of Xuzhou and Guo Peng's inner thoughts.

Coming to Xuzhou with Guo Peng's strength level can certainly bring more security to everyone, but they also know that it is impossible to pay nothing.

Watching those fierce Wei troops wipe out the rampant Danyang Group with three strikes and five divisions by two, there is no need to say anything else.

When they were talking, Guo Peng had already sent someone to find out the bottom of the people who came here, knowing that among the people who came to Tanxian to meet him this time, there were two people with the highest virtue and prestige, one was from Guangling and the other was from Pengcheng.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang from Guangling, Xuzhou.

Zhang Zhao is forty years old this year, Zhang Hong is forty-three years old this year, both of them are well-known scholars in Xuzhou, although their reputation is not as good as Chen Qi, but now that Chen Qi is dead, these two people have become the leaders of Xuzhou scholars.

Guo Peng sent people to find out about them, knowing that they were very disgusted with Tao Qian's feudal state and occupation of Xuzhou, and they also followed the Chen family to express their support in this turmoil, but they didn't expect what happened later.

It is said that they were all displaced in this war, fled with their families, and then were rescued by the Wei cavalry led by Gao Ran Yanliang and the Jiujiang soldiers led by Zhang Liao respectively, and sent back to their hometowns for resettlement, and there is a gratitude to Guo Peng.

So after coming to Tanxian, he took the initiative to find Guo Peng and thanked him, thanking him for sending troops to Xuzhou in time to stabilize the situation, and saving them and their families by the way.

"Both of them are well-known scholars in Xuzhou, and the lonely army can save the two in time, which is the luck of Lone, and Lonely is not timely, so that Chen Gong and Yuanlong are innocent and killed, Lone's heart is unbearable, they have been fighting for many years, they are used to seeing life and death, and Lone is really unwilling to see more people die."

Guo Peng picked up Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who thanked him, and invited them to take a seat.

Before the formal meeting begins, there must always be some private talks, and basically many things will be discussed in the private talks, and the formal meeting is just a formality.

People with status and status will communicate well in advance and know everything well, and only people with little power will need to get information at formal meetings.

"Chen Gong died, Yuan Long died, Lonely's heart ached, but Xuzhou must be stable and develop, although Chen Gong and Yuanlong have been lost, but you are still there, Lone needs your cooperation and your help, so that Xuzhou can be stabilized."

Guo Peng set the tone first.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong understood this very well, nodded their heads one after another, and expressed their willingness to help Guo Peng stabilize the situation in Xuzhou.

"When the situation is chaotic today, Yizhou Jingzhou and Yangzhou are in chaos, and the war is endless, only the Duke of Wei has a stable and peaceful place, which is the credit of the Duke of Wei, and we admire the Duke of Wei, and are willing to help the Duke of Wei stabilize Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou can restore the stability of the past."

Zhang Hong was older, so Zhang Hong spoke first.

"Wei Gong's merits are seen by everyone in the world, and being able to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou for Wei Gong is something we hope to see."

Zhang Zhao also expressed his thoughts earnestly.

In this way, Erzhang, who is famous in Xuzhou, expressed his willingness to cooperate with Guo Peng.

So Guo Peng was overjoyed and expressed his willingness to make Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao Maocai and include them in his Wei Gong shogunate.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao are both talented people, but their life trajectories are quite consistent, that is, they did not become officials in their forties, and even Zhang Zhao was not promoted as filial piety and Maocai.

It's not that they don't have the means and talents, but they see that the situation is not good, and they are unwilling to wade into the troubled waters of Luoyang back then, hoping to avoid trouble and raise their fame at the same time.

Zhang Zhao refused to be promoted as filial piety, and offended Tao Qian for this, and was placed under house arrest by Tao Qian.

Zhang Hong is even more powerful, when he was young, he traveled to study in Luoyang, when Guo Peng also heard Zhang Hong's reputation in Luoyang, he was promoted to Maocai, and then got the general, Taiwei and Sikong Mansion called him, all refused, lived in seclusion in his hometown, and did not serve for decades.

This was a very temperate behavior in the eyes of people at the time, but what was the reason inside, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong would not doubt whether Guo Peng knew it.

After the Xuzhou Rebellion, these scholars who did not go out in the past finally realized that this time was not the time to raise their names, but the time to protect themselves and their families.

In the face of Guo Peng's warm invitation, the two sides hit it off.
