237. Guilty of petitioning
When Guo Peng heard this, he learned that the situation was not out of control, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Duke Ming, Yuan Shao betrayed the alliance and did such ugly things to Duke Ming behind his back, his wolf ambition has been exposed, and such a despicable person appeared in the gate of the fourth world and the third duke! It's unimaginable! ”
Xi Zhong's face was full of anger: "Ming Gong has the power of a great victory, there is no need to be afraid of Yuan Shao at all, with the elite of our army, we will definitely be able to break through Lu Yi, and ask Yuan Shao for an explanation!" ”
Guo Jia thought so, and Cheng Li also agreed.
The generals around Guo Peng all agreed with it.
"Okay, then I'll go and ask him for justice from Yuan Benchu!"
Guo Peng was full of anger, but he was also full of joy.
When the troops were dispatched, Guo Peng's joy was even more so.
To be honest, Guo didn't want to stay in Luoyang and continue to fight with Dong Zhuo for a long time.
After breaking through Luoyang, Guo Peng wanted to leave, but he was waiting, waiting for Yuan Shao to resist Jizhou, and then attack him.
He was very sure that Yuan Shao would definitely attack him and Sun Jian.
I thought I would have to wait a few more months, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be impatient so soon.
As the leader of the alliance against Dong, he took the lead in destroying the alliance and conspiring to seize the territory of the allies, what is this?
In terms of righteousness, Yuan Shao was suppressed to death, and there was nothing commendable about what he did, if it weren't for the fame of the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao would have been drowned by the spittle star.
However, thanks to Yuan Shao, Guo had a reason to return to Qingzhou, and from then on he could get rid of the restrictions in a certain sense and start to seek his own interests.
So he was quite grateful to Yuan Shao.
And through Yuan Shao's invasion this time, he also found that he had governed properly in Qingzhou and had won the hearts of the people, and in his absence, his subordinates still used their lives to intercept the enemy army on the north bank of the Yellow River.
All counties and armies worked together to defend their position, and they did not slack off in the slightest.
This proves that they have been recognized by them, have been given their effectiveness, and are regarded by them as the heroes who can realize their ideals and safeguard their own interests, so for Guo Peng, they have made the greatest efforts to fight with Yuan Shaojun.
The battle with Yuan Shao in the north, the occasional attack of the Yellow Turban Army in the southeast, but it was also unsuccessful, and the most surprising thing for Guo Peng was that there was no rebellion in the counties and counties in the interior.
His position and rule in Qingzhou are almost solid, and he can start to seek external development.
As long as the Yellow Turban Army is driven away and Donglai County and Beihai Kingdom are taken, everything can develop smoothly.
Isn't war a litmus test?
Guo was angry on the surface and happy in his heart, which also made him more and more identified with a certain decision in the future.
On the ninth day of the third month, after two days of rest, Guo Peng only led 3,000 cavalry and took his subordinates who had attacked Dong Zhuo to the front line of the war in the Plains Country.
Hurrying all the way, Guo Peng arrived at the Pingyuan State Administration Office on March 12 and met Chen Ji, the minister of the Pingyuan State.
Chen Ji, the minister of the plains, was the only official who was not appointed by Guo Peng, but was in office before Guo Peng became the pastor of Qingzhou.
At the beginning of Guo Peng's ascension, he also felt worried, but Guo Peng wrote a letter to appease him, saying that he was a famous man in the world, a member of the Yingchuan Chen clan, and a fellow countryman, and Guo Peng would continue to appoint him to reassure him.
Yingchuan was in turmoil, the world was in chaos, Chen Ji wanted to seek a place where he could live in peace, Guo Peng's statement reassured him, and he was relieved to stay in the post of Pingyuan State Minister.
After that, he tried his best to assist Guo Peng in implementing the policy of Tuntian in the plain country, vigorously collecting the displaced people, and even recruited the displaced people from Jizhou into the plain country, incorporated into the tuntian people, increased the population of the plain country, and made political achievements, which made Guo Peng very happy to praise him.
This time Lu Yi's sudden attack, Chen Ji responded calmly, did his best to supply sufficient military food to the front-line army, stabilized the morale of the front-line army, and cooperated with Cao Ren Cao Hong and Yu Ban to fight against Lu Yi, and made great contributions.
Guo Peng personally visited Chen Ji and saluted him, and Chen Ji hurriedly returned the salute.
"The failure of the county is a dereliction of duty by discipline, and I dare not be rewarded."
Guo Peng shook his head and held Chen Ji's hand.
"Chen Gong made every effort to prepare for logistics, this is the credit, the defeat in the front-line battle is really not Chen Gong's sin, how can I blame Chen Gong?"
Guo Peng's statement made Chen Ji sigh in his heart, Guo Peng deserves to be a famous person at home.
"At the moment, Cao Yangwu, Cao Yangwei, and Yu Zhongwu are all fighting against Lu Yi on the front line of the country, Lu Yi is very good at using soldiers, and our army has not been able to break through his defense line several times with counterattacks, so he can only confront him."
Chen Ji explained the specific situation and let Guo Peng have some understanding.
When Guo Peng appointed Cao Ren and Cao Hong as captains, because they all had military exploits and were old men who followed Guo Peng, they also added titles to distinguish them.
Cao Ren is the captain of Yangwu, Cao Hong is the captain of Yangwei, Xiahou Yuan is the captain of the broken army, Xiahoudun is the captain of the broken army, Yu Ban is the captain of Zhongwu who was added later, Zhao Yun is the captain of the tiger guts, and Zhang Fei is the captain of the tiger power.
At present, there are a few famous captains, although other generals also have captains, but because of their lack of military achievements, they have not been crowned.
For example, Guan Yu did not get the title because he had not made great contributions, which made Guan Yu a little anxious.
In fact, whether it is added or not, in fact, the meaning is almost the same, it is still a captain, and at this time there are not so many titles of generals later.
Many general titles are set up in troubled times, and at the beginning of the troubled times, there were few general titles and they were very simple, such as before and after, and then they were gradually replaced by a variety of titles.
At this time, General Zhonglang is basically the ceiling of the general who commands the army.
The title given to them by Guo Peng is very important to them, and it is basically regarded as a distinction between high and low status, because Guo Peng has not been awarded the title of Zhonglang General.
On the day he arrived in the plain, Guo Peng led his army to the north, arrived at the front line of the war, and met Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Yu Ban.
Originally, it was Cao Ren and Cao Hong who fought against Lu Yi, but the two couldn't beat Lu Yi.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan wanted to guard against the Yellow Turban and could not move without permission, so Cheng Li mobilized Yu Ban, who had been praised by Guo Peng, to lead the army to support, and the three of them took Cao Ren as the main general to defend.
On the offensive side, Cao Ren can't beat Lu Yi, but on defense, Lu Yi can't help Cao Ren, once Cao Ren gives up the fight and chooses to defend, Lu Yi actually has nothing to do.
After the stalemate in the battle, Lu Yi also received many urgings and punishments from Yuan Shao, who believed that Lu Yi's delay in taking the Hebei part of the Plains was simply a failure, and ordered Lu Yi to speed up his actions.
Lu Yi also wanted to it, but the number of troops on Cao Ren's side had been increased, and it was no longer lost to him, and it was not easy to take the county, Lu Yi asked for more troops, but Yuan Shao did not allow it, and Lu Yi had nothing to do.
As a result, under such a stalemate, Guo Peng came back.
Under the banner of General Zuo Qingzhou Mu, Guo Peng came to the front line of the war.
As a result, as soon as they came, they found that Cao Ren and Du Xian were bare-chested and carrying thorns on their backs to plead guilty to Guo Peng.
"Big brother, I have been derelict in my duties."
"General, I am derelict in my duty."
The appearance of the two of them is very single, which makes Guo Peng want to laugh.
Playing with the guilt of the guilty?
"Alas......"
Guo Peng sighed, shook his head, untied the ropes of the two with his own hands, and threw away the thorns.
