Qiao Rui dressed up, asked his wife and daughters to straighten their appearances, and then entered Guo Peng's office hall under the leadership of Xu Chu.

"Meet the General."

Qiao Rui took the lead in bowing, and then Mrs. Qiao and the big and small bridge sisters also bowed down one after another to salute Guo Peng.

"No need to be polite, General Bridge and Mrs. Bridge, and the two sons-in-law, please get up and sit."

Guo Peng sat on the main seat and greeted the four of them.

"General Xie."

So the four members of the bridge family sat down at the bottom of Guo Peng together.

Xiaoqiao's personality is more lively and bolder, although Qiao Rui strictly ordered not to raise her head before getting permission, she still quietly raised her head and quietly looked at Guo Peng.

The result was facing Guo Peng's gaze.

Guo Peng smiled slightly, Xiaoqiao's heart suddenly beat violently, and he quickly lowered his head, his face turned red.

Just a quick glance, Guo Pengzhi also saw that this girl was a beauty, although she was not very old, and she didn't know whether it was a bridge or a small bridge, but she was indeed a beauty.

Qiao Rui's appearance is average, and it is estimated that her daughter's appearance is mostly due to Mrs. Qiao's work.

"I was relieved to see that the Qiao family was still safe."

Guo Peng brought up the topic: "General Qiao is a great hero of this battle, if the hero's family is killed, I really don't know how to explain to the court, now it's okay, I can also explain to the court." ”

"The general valued it, and specially sent troops to protect the general's family, and the general was very grateful, so he brought his family to thank the general."

"It doesn't have to be like this, this is what I should do, not only that, I also want to ask for credit for General Qiao, I have already gone to the imperial court, and asked Your Majesty to officially seal General Qiao as the former general of the Han Dynasty, Jin Jue, give more food, General Qiao's merits, Your Majesty will definitely reward you."

Qiao Rui hurriedly expressed her gratitude, and saluted Guo Peng with a face full of gratitude.

Then there was a symbolic chat, talking about Qiao Rui's family, and Qiao Rui sighed.

"Maybe I've done something wrong! Two of his subordinates have died young, and only two daughters have grown up, so that there is no queen so far, and sometimes, I also feel desolate, if I meet the general early and walk on the right path, I am afraid that now I will have a full house of children and grandchildren. ”

Guo Peng smiled and comforted Qiao Rui, and then introduced the topic and talked about Qiao Rui's two daughters, Qiao Rui also tacitly praised his two daughters with Guo Peng.

So the main drama began to be staged, and Qiao Rui asked the two daughters to step forward and raise their heads to Guo Peng.

After Qiao Rui's identification, Guo Peng knew that it was the eldest daughter, Daqiao, who behaved dignified and elegant, and it was the youngest daughter Xiaoqiao who had a ruddy face and a slight trembling body.

Fang secretly raised his head and looked at his own Xiaoqiao.

Guo Peng couldn't help but smile.

"The two sons-in-law are both alluring to the country and the city, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I don't know whose children have such good luck to marry the two sons-in-law."

Qiao Rui immediately got Guo Peng's hint.

"The little girl has always admired the prestige of the general, admired the courage of the general to join the army at the age of nineteen and the record of quelling the rebellion for the Han Dynasty.

Qiao Rui took the initiative to send her two daughters into Guo Peng's mansion to serve Guo Peng.

"This ...... I already have a wife and three concubines, if the two sons-in-law enter my house, I'm afraid it won't be good, right? ”

Guo Someone pretended to refuse, and Qiao Rui immediately said: "The Qiao family is from an ordinary background, and it is really a blessing to be able to serve the general, how dare you have other extravagant desires?" I hope the general will not dislike it. ”

"How could I be disgusted?"

Guo Peng shook his head with a smile: "That's the case, then okay." ”

Qiao Rui and Mrs. Qiao were overjoyed.

"Although it is a concubine, but you can't treat the second daughter of General Qiao too badly, you still have to have the etiquette that you should have, and you have to do it, so let's ask Mrs. Qiao to take the two daughters-in-law back to Puyang first, and after I finish the rectification here, after returning to the teacher, I will do the happy event, how about it?"

"That's great!"

Qiao Rui was very happy.

So in a performance of your affection and my willingness, this political marriage reality show came to an end, and the two daughters of the Qiao family were determined to enter Guo Peng's mansion as concubines and serve Guo Peng together.

Guo Peng is still quite satisfied, the big and small bridge sisters are very beautiful, as the instinct of males, Guo Peng accepts them.

Qiao Rui and Mrs. Qiao were more satisfied, because their future was secured, and Qiao was safe.

No one cares what the Ohashi sisters think.

Of course, it doesn't matter what they think, as long as they do what their parents arrange, then they can be considered contributing to the family.

In fact, Guo Peng has no choice, some people must be killed, and some people must be beheaded for public display, which will cause some negative effects, which will make those who have surrendered uneasy, and affect Guo Peng's plan to quickly pacify Huainan and Jiangbei.

In order to realize this plan, it is necessary to stabilize people's hearts and not strong resistance, and at this time, Naqiaorui's daughter is the best means to appease people's hearts.

Even the daughter of Qiao Rui, who used to live and die with me on the battlefield, has become my concubine, what are you worried about?

Still don't you obediently work for me?

This is the magic of marriage, the will of both parties to the marriage is not important, the will of the forces behind both parties is the main thing.

Guo Peng, as the leader and owner of the entire force, must also make sacrifices and pay the price for this, otherwise he doesn't have to pay for anything and do whatever he wants, and it will really be a ghost if he can stick to it.

It's not about love and love, it's about interests.

Therefore, Guo Peng will suppress his own emotions, and there is no need to listen to the wishes of the big and small bridge sisters.

Qiao Rui soon happily arranged for his family to leave Shouchun under the protection of Xu Chu and go to Puyang, and he stayed to help Guo Peng run errands in Shouchun.

For example, as Zhao Yun's deputy general and leader, he led 10,000 troops and went south to occupy Lujiang County, and the action was very smooth.

In addition, Guo Peng appointed Zhang Liao as the main general, commanding 10,000 troops to attack Jiujiang County, so that Guo Peng occupied all Yangzhou north of the Yangtze River and completed the last step of the battle of Yuan Shu.

Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Runan County will become important advance bases for Guo Peng's attack on the southern part of Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the future.

After occupying Yuzhou and Yangzhou north of the Yangtze River this time, these three counties are the places where Guo Peng will focus on his business.

For this reason, Guo Peng was transferred to Zao Yi as the Taishou of Lujiang County, and Guan Yu was appointed as the garrison of Lujiang County.

Xiahoudun was transferred to serve as the Taishou of Runan County, and Guo Lie was appointed as the garrison of Runan County.

He was also transferred to Mao Jue as the garrison of Jiujiang County, and Zhang Liao was appointed as the garrison of Jiujiang County.

The three counties will focus on tuntian, garrison troops, train troops to prepare for war, reserve grain and grass, repair roads, and establish intelligence stations, and complete all preparations before going south to go on an expedition, so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent southward war.

For this reason, Guo Peng also needs to stay here to do some preliminary preparations.
