For a long time, because Qingzhou has been repeatedly affected by drought, sea invasion, and locust plagues, coupled with the powerful and powerful enclosure of the Dashi clan, there are many displaced people in Qingzhou, and there are many bandits.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army is coming, the fragile balance has collapsed in an instant, and the Dahao Qiang of the Dashi clan has suffered a heavy blow, and many people have chosen to take refuge in Xuzhou or Liaodong.

The local government defended the territory, and those who could not hold it were occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, so that the special situation of the county being the king of the emperor county was created, and for Guo Peng, the road to go was not short.

But that's fine, the name of righteousness is in hand, if you don't listen to me, I'll do you, and directly appoint your cronies to control the county.

The counties and counties occupied by the Yellow Turban Army are even better, although they are a little chaotic, but they are taken back and directly tuntian, which is easier to master.

On the way forward, Zao Yi couldn't wait to say to Guo Peng that he would deal with the scourge of the Yellow Turbans and Liukou in Tuntian, Qingzhou, not just with soldiers and horses.

Guo Peng was quite clear about this, so after arriving in Pingyang, he sent people to Qingzhou to investigate the actual situation, and continued to reorganize the army to make it more combative.

During his reorganization, there were also some Taishan locals who came to seek refuge with him, and one of them was named Yu Ban Zi Wen Ze, who was recommended by Bao Xin.

Bao Xin said that Yu Ban would train troops and had the ability to lead the army, so he recommended Yu Ban to Guo Peng.

What a nice guy.

Guo Peng was very moved by Bao Xin's selfless spirit, and happily accepted Yu Ban, and then handed over the recruits recruited from Mount Tai to Yu Ban for training, and personally watched his training skills.

I have to say that Bao Xin is quite accurate, Yu Ban is indeed a person who is good at training, to a certain extent, Guo Peng feels that Yu Ban's appearance fills his frustration that he can't get Gao Shun.

With the help of Bao Xin, Guo Peng recruited more than 3,000 recruits, although there was still some distance from his goal, but this was the home of others, and Guo Peng was embarrassed to recruit too many soldiers and horses.

And these days have been eating the rations funded by Bao Xin, which has caused a lot of trouble to Bao Xin, and Rao is Guo is face is also embarrassed.

So on the first day of October, Guo Peng led his army into Linzi County, Qi State, intending to reach the core area of his future rule.

Prior to this, Guo Peng learned about some of the situations in the Qi State, including the original state minister who abandoned his official position and fled because he was a fellow party of the eunuchs, and the county commanders in various places and some other local county guards also fled.

Guo Peng had to sigh that General He had resolutely eradicated the eunuchs, and he should also understand the situation that since the disaster of the party, most of the officials in various places have been appointed by eunuchs and the party.

Kill people in one go, can't these people be frightened to abandon their officials and flee?

Well, there is no need to say more, Guo Peng directly went to the table to take the jujube as the minister of Qi.

Guo Peng directly asked Zao Yi to take the position of the prime minister of Qi, and let him lead the tuntian policy and the preparation of the displaced people in the territory of Qi.

Make the country of Qi his base camp first, and then other things.

Guo Peng ambitiously started his Qingzhou strategy, and Dong Zhuo also ambitiously started his own plan.

Seriously, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo felt that being a Sikong, with a team of soldiers and horses, was at ease in Luoyang City, that was the most lively thing, and it could also satisfy his long-cherished wish for many years.

But unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's wish was disappointed, and Yuan Kui asked him to discuss the abolition of the establishment, which stunned him.

If it weren't for Yuan Kui teaching him how to do and how to say it, he really wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

Subsequently, it was also Yuan Kui who suggested that he open a mansion in the name of Taiwei and recruit scholars as subordinate officials.

Yuan Kui probably wanted to control Dong Zhuo like he controlled, so that Dong Zhuo was surrounded by scholars and no one of his own.

Dong Zhuo really doesn't have any of his own people around him.

Dong Zhuo himself is literate and understands a lot of truths, and believes that what is needed to govern the country is to read, not to be coarse.

He thinks that his subordinates are all big and rough, and it is good to be a captain and lead a soldier, but he can't read a lot of big characters, and he really has no other abilities except for being able to fight and kill.

Except for a few literate people such as Duan Xuan, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao in Luoyang City, he really didn't appoint other people, he only let them be school captains, lead troops outside Luoyang, abide by their responsibilities, and they were not allowed to make mistakes.

Dong Zhuo's modest behavior naturally won the favor of some scholars, and because Dong Zhuo was a former official of the Yuan family, many scholars took refuge in Dong Zhuo for this name.

For example, Zhou Yu, Wu Qiong, former officials of the General's Mansion, He Hao, Zheng Tai, etc., all took the initiative or hesitated to become Dong Zhuo's staff and do things for him.

Under their advice, Dong Zhuo pretended to be a corporal of Lixian and restrained his temper.

And according to their suggestions, I visited scholars and colleagues, chatted with them, and told them some of the insights I had learned from reading, and I really won praise from some famous scholars.

So Dong Zhuo gradually gained a virtuous reputation in Luoyang.

Later, at the end of September, under the advice of the staff and the approval of Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo, together with Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao, carried the gong to the court to write and staged a political show.

Rehabilitate the victims of the party's troubles.

Chen Fan and Dou Wu, who were initially characterized as traitors by politics, as well as many party members who were arrested and killed in the second party election the following year, were all asked to be rehabilitated.

Dong Zhuo said that they are not guilty, they are good people who think about the country and the people, and they should be rehabilitated.

The young Liu Xie was unable to govern himself, so the Taifu Yuan Kui replaced the young Liu Xie, restored the titles of Chen Fan and others, and promoted their children and grandchildren to officials.

Chen Fan's son, Chen Yi, participated in Wang Fen's conspiracy to depose Emperor Ling, and was promoted to official.

Dou Fu, the grandson of Dou Wu, was promoted to filial piety by Guiyang County during the year and became an official in the dynasty.

The sorrowful wishes of the scholars for many years were satisfied, and they felt that they had finally won a complete victory in the battle against the Han Emperor and the eunuchs, which was the glory of all the scholars.

As a result, the scholars began to enjoy the fruits of this political victory.

However, in between, Dong Zhuo's fame and power gradually began to swell.

Yuan Kui wanted to support Dong Zhuo as the support for himself and the Yuan family's dictatorship, so he wanted Dong Zhuo to gain a firm foothold in the capital and let everyone accept Dong Zhuo, so he did not hesitate to make his own suggestions for Dong Zhuo to use.

Naturally, Yuan Kui also left a back hand, and let a group of scholars surround Dong Zhuo to win Dong Zhuo's trust and grasp Dong Zhuo's thoughts.

But Yuan Kui seems to have forgotten that everyone is human, and if you are a human being, you have the desire to climb up, and everyone is not Yuan Kui's retainer alone, they listen to him in life or death, and they themselves have their own ambitions and political ideals.

Throughout September, Yuan Kui cooperated with Dong Zhuo to play political games many times.

He asked Liu Xie to give Dong Zhuo rewards, Dong Zhuo all resigned, and the above table transferred these rewards to other famous scholars and meritorious heroes, so Dong Zhuo's fame became even greater.

When Dong Zhuo's fame in the court was getting bigger and bigger, it was not that no one felt that it was not good to do so.

Someone proposed to Yuan Kui to restrict Dong Zhuo's friendship with fellow scholars and limit Dong Zhuo's power, saying that many Shangshutai officials have begun to be friends with Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Kui was unimpressed, he was immersed in the joy of holding great power and the euphoria of a successful coup, and he had not yet regained his taste.

On Dong Zhuo's side, it seems that because of a great sense of achievement, he gradually had some new ideas, and found that Yuan Kui was an obstacle to his realization of these new ideas.

He was still a little afraid of Yuan Kui, so he never dared to put forward some of his ideas, and his move was discovered by real careerists.
